Large scale war?

Lu An was stunned for a moment, frowned and asked, "What do you mean? I remember that the surrounding countries are not always in peace, so how can they be at war?"

Yang Meiren looked at Lu An and said, "It is not that there is a war between these countries, and these countries have been in peace with each other for many years."

"What's that for?" Lu An asked doubtfully.

"Do you still remember the four empires I told you?" Yang Meiren's eyes narrowed, and she looked at Lu An and said lightly, "The four empires are the super empires of the Baku Continent, namely the Tianlong Empire, the Black Mountain Empire, and the East China Sea Empire.

And the High Fire Empire. The four major empires have eight-level Heavenly Masters, and each empire has more than one. This alone cannot be matched by other countries."

"This war was ordered by a general of the Tianlong Empire. However, he did not personally participate in the war, but one of his close associates." Yang Meiren said, "This close associate is a seventh-level heavenly master, and he suddenly left the Tianlong Empire for some reason.

We must establish our own business and establish a medium-sized country. This general has great prestige in the Tianlong Empire, and he has added fuel to the fire behind him, wiping out three countries in just three months."

"Because the surrounding countries are all small countries, no one can compete with the seventh-level heavenly master. The invasion of this cronies did not stop, but continued to advance to our side. At this time, the envoys of the surrounding countries are all

Come to us because the news that I am a seventh-level heavenly master has spread, and they hope that Purple Lake City can take action to let them maintain their original territory."

After saying that, Yang Meiren paused and said, "For this reason, they are willing to surrender to Zihu City."

Surrender?

Lu An was slightly confused when he heard this and asked, "In that case, why don't you surrender to that confidant?"

"Because that confidant will not let them retain the royal family." Yang Meiren said, "That confidant himself has brought many powerful subordinates, and this confidant is bloodthirsty and will massacre the city wherever he goes. In the past three months alone,

Millions of people have died."

When Lu An heard this, his brows suddenly tightened and he asked, "Do you agree?"

"I agree, there is no way I can disagree." Yang Meiren said seriously, "Even if we don't participate, the other party will attack Purple Lake City sooner or later. Passing through so many countries along the way will also absorb many Celestial Master prisoners. We can't let them feed themselves with war.

The battle must be fought quickly and decisively.”

"Now

What?" Lu An asked again, "How is it now?"

"The situation is relatively stable now." Yang Meiren said, "We have formed an alliance with the four surrounding countries to jointly fight against foreign enemies. And the enemy seems to have learned about the existence of a seventh-level heavenly master, and did not dare to act rashly. Instead, he

Resting outside the border, although they continued to attack, the opponent's seventh-level Celestial Master did not take action."

After hearing this, Lu An nodded and said, "I heard Master say that unless a Celestial Master of level six or above is absolutely sure that he can win against the opponent, he will generally not take action easily. If neither you nor the leader of the opponent takes action,

Then we can indeed fight. But in this situation, what we are most afraid of is the involvement of the generals of the Tianlong Empire."

"That's right." Seeing that Lu An was able to grasp the key points at once, Yang Meiren said with a hint of appreciation in her eyes, "At the beginning, we were also worried that once the eighth-level heavenly master joined the battle, we would be completely unable to fight back. However,

A while ago, I went to the four major empires and made inquiries in person. The behavior of the cronies was just the general’s instructions, not the royal family’s intention.”

"The four empires have the rules of the four empires. The royal family cannot easily let any powerful Celestial Master leave the empire to do evil outside, unless the general also declares his separation from the Celestial Dragon Empire." Yang Meiren explained, "But this is not the case.

Possibly, because in the Eight Ancient Continent, if any eighth-level heavenly master sets up his own school, he will automatically become the enemy of the four empires."

Lu An was startled when he heard this and asked, "You mean, after becoming an eighth-level heavenly master, you must join the four empires?"

"That's right." Yang Meiren nodded and said, "This is the rule."

After hearing Yang Meiren's words, Lu An realized that there were still such rules in the mainland. But it was useless for him to think too much now. Not to mention the eighth-level Celestial Master, even the sixth-level Celestial Master was a big deal for him.

Goal. Now he is only a fourth-level Heavenly Master, and he still has a long, long way to go.

Seeing Lu An's thoughtful look, Yang Meiren thought for a while and said, "However, although people from the Tianlong Empire will not take action, we must be wary of certain clans and sects."

"Clan? Sect?" Lu An was stunned and asked, "Same as the Holy Land?"

"That's right." Yang Meiren nodded and said, "The Holy Land is a cultivation sect related to the country, but there are many more clans and sects that have nothing to do with the country. After all, in the Bagu Continent, land without a country is also very difficult.

It is vast, and there are many independent clans and sects in it. Moreover, the most powerful clans and sects are among them."

Lu An was startled when he heard this, then suddenly thought of something, his eyes narrowed, he looked at Yang Meiren and asked, "My life experience..."

Yang Meiren looked at Lu An and said nothing.

Lu An did not continue to ask. In any case, his strength was still too small. Even if he knew, there would be no benefit. Instead, he might make many unwise choices. After thinking about it, Lu An said to Yang Meiren, "In this case, I

Let’s go find Yang Mu now.”

Yang Meiren nodded, and Lu An turned to look at Liu Lan aside. She thought for a while and said, "Should I find someone to take you around, or do you want to do something by yourself?"

Liu Lan, who had been silent since the beginning, looked up and saw that his face was a little pale. She unconsciously leaned towards Lu An and said, "I... I want to be with you."

After saying this, she glanced at Yang Meiren with some fear. Yang Meiren had put too much pressure on her from the beginning.

Lu An was stunned and couldn't help feeling a little embarrassed. It would be a bit bad if he took Liu Lan to see Yang Mu. Suddenly he thought of something and said, "Well, I'll let someone take you to a good friend of mine.

Her name is Liu Yi, she is very nice, just chat with her for a while and I will go find you soon."

Hearing Lu An's words, Liu Lan couldn't help but feel a little pain in her heart, but she still nodded obediently and said, "Okay."

Upon seeing this, Yang Meiren immediately asked someone to come in and guide Liu Lan. When Liu Lan left, she still looked at Lu An reluctantly, with sadness in her eyes.

After Liu Lan left the room, Lu An breathed a sigh of relief, but his heavy heart did not lighten at all. He really did not expect that he would encounter such a situation, which made him very stressed.

"I didn't expect that every time the master goes out, he can provoke a woman to come back." Yang Meiren suddenly spoke, with an unpredictable tone, "Besides, every woman is so excellent."

Lu An was stunned for a moment, then shook his head with a wry smile and said, "I don't want to either."

"Think about it, it has already happened. I won't be surprised if the master brings a woman back in the future." Yang Meiren said lightly, "Several women from half a year ago, Liu Yi, Kong Yan and Shuang'er all had a crush on you.

, it seems that my Purple Lake City is going to become the master’s harem.”

"..."

Lu An scratched his head in embarrassment and said, "I will be more careful in the future and not provoke others. Now let's go find Yang Mu!"

——————

——————

In the center of the city lord's palace, where the city lord's main hall is located.

When Lu An stood outside the door and saw Yang Mu from a distance who was immersed in business and discussing with people around him from time to time, his heart sank slightly.

He still remembered that the first time he met Yang Mu was in a shop. At that time, Yang Mu was dressed as a man, dressed in heroic spirit, lively and cheerful, and full of joy. But this time he saw Yang Mu, he was less lively and heroic.

He is a lot older, but more mature and steady. You know, Yang Mu is only twenty years old this year.

For a twenty-year-old girl to manage a city of this size, especially when faced with a war, is a pressure that even Lu An cannot imagine.

Yang Meiren was standing behind Lu An. She felt heartbroken when she looked at her daughter. In fact, when the war started, she didn't want her daughter to be tired and wanted to take charge of the overall situation herself, but her daughter refused directly and insisted on carrying such a banner herself.

.

Yang Meiren knew that her daughter was doing nothing else but simply keeping herself busy, so busy that she couldn't think of anything but work.

"You go in." Yang Meiren turned her head and said softly to Lu An.

Lu An was startled, nodded, and walked inside.

"Miss Mu, long time no see."

A familiar voice that appeared in every dream suddenly sounded. Yang Mu, who was immersed in writing, was shaken. He thought that he was hallucinating because he was too tired and that he was dreaming.

But she still left a little hope for herself, raised her head, and looked forward.

However, when she saw the man's figure, her body trembled and the pen suddenly fell from her hand.

"Lu...an."
