"But why did Prime Minister Zhuge do this? He could directly seek help, find those forces and friends who are good friends with him, or even students, and then rescue Zhuge Ling and the others. Why do they have to die like this?"
The truth of the matter left Li Mubo dumbfounded, but he was surprised and felt sorry for Zhuge Jin's sacrifice. However, he also knew very well in his heart that if there was any other possibility, this imperial hero would not give up on himself and his flesh and blood daughter. Since ancient times, it has been difficult to have both loyalty, justice, etiquette and filial piety in one's life. Zhuge Jin has been implementing his beliefs throughout his life. Such a person is worthy of admiration.
"I don't know why the prime minister chose to die, but I can feel that the only person he could turn to in the situation was me. If I couldn't kill him that night, the consequences would push the entire empire into chaos. It’s an abyss, so I can only do it without hesitation.”
Li Yubai's choice was not wrong. Like Zhuge Jin, he put his own safety aside in the face of great rights and wrongs. The crime of assassinating the prime minister of the empire was so serious. This sword thrust meant that he was an enemy of most of the Cangyun Empire. , which means that the future days may be spent on the run, but Li Yubai's hand holding the sword that night has never been more stable. The sword is full of righteousness and pierces the conspiracy of selfish and reckless people.
"Then what should we do next? Our previous plan was to help you clear your grievances first, and then follow the clues to find out the purpose of the black robe organization and destroy it in one fell swoop, but it seems that we can't do this now."
Although the truth about Zhuge Jin's assassination has been defeated, Li Mu feels as if everything has just begun. The conspiracy of the black robe organization, the conflict between the royal family and the Yunlan Sect, and the covetous Penglai Immortal Kingdom. Originally, he thought that as long as he found out the truth, Being fierce can solve all the problems, but unexpectedly, there is a deeper quagmire behind him. For a moment, he was a little confused and could only turn his questioning eyes to his father.
"Now we can only prepare for the worst. I guess Zitong controlled Zhuge Jin for the peace talks in half a month. Although I don't know the reason, in the past, whenever their traces were discovered, there would be a massacre or Conflict, so you can imagine the appeal of a large-scale war to their organization."
"If Zi Tong's ultimate goal is to provoke a war between Cangyun Empire and Penglai Immortal Kingdom, then the royal family and Yunlan Sect are the hurdles he must break through. You can go to Yunlan Sect next and help me hand over this letter to Yun Li'er, I have written down the findings so far in detail above. As long as we have the support of Yun Lan Sect, the situation will not be too bad."
"As for me, I won't go back with you to see Liu Long. If the worst happens, Qinglan City will be the first place to bear the brunt. It is also the first line of defense for the empire. I must go back and prepare secretly. Our Li family is there. Nothing should be lost.”
Li Yubai's worry is not unreasonable. The whole conspiracy has been planned by Zi Tong for thirty years. The clues they have discovered now must be just the tip of the iceberg. If this war is really inevitable, then Qinglan City must be the first line of the battle. .
Now that the attitude of the royal family is unclear, it is almost impossible to mobilize the power of the imperial army to set up defenses in advance. Moreover, it is politically impossible to increase troops to Qinglan City with great fanfare, because this will definitely arouse the suspicion of Penglai Immortal Kingdom before the peace talks. , the dilemma is really frustrating. Zi Tong and the mysterious organization behind him are not only strategizing in the dark, but even the conspiracy is difficult to crack.
"Father, there is no problem for us to go to Yunlan Sect, but I heard that if you want to enter their mountain gate, you must pass three levels of difficulty, and the Cloud Sea Realm, the Star Climbing Stone Steps, and the final Cangyun Gate are all as difficult as climbing to the sky. , even the ordinary monks in the Infant Transformation Realm cannot forcefully break through. With the three of us, it may be very difficult."
Li Mu very much agreed with Li Yubai's arrangement, but when he thought about the three-level natural moat of Yunlan Sect, he felt a little embarrassed. Not to mention whether he could meet Yun Li'er smoothly, the prerequisite for entering the sect might not be fulfilled.
"This is my father's negligence. This Yunlan Sect has the best reputation. If a few of you Danjie realm monks are allowed to break in easily, those old immortals will probably feel ashamed again. This jade flute, you Take it, and when you get to the mountain gate of Yunlan Sect, you can play the jade flute, and Yun Li'er will naturally come down the mountain to greet you."
Holding a jade flute handed over by Li Yubai in his hand, Li Mu looked at his father with a confident face in front of him in astonishment. He really suspected that Li Yubai was deliberately trying to mess with him. Are you kidding? Yunlan Sect is the third in the empire. In a sect, if an unknown person plays a tune on the broken jade flute at the foot of the mountain, the leader of the other sect will come down the mountain to greet him?
"Don't worry, she and I, ahem, have some old friendship." Obviously feeling Li Mu's suspicious gaze, Li Yubai had to explain, but his eyes were quite evasive during the period, and it seemed that what he was telling was not entirely true.
Li Mu's heart was filled with millions of mud horses running through him at this time. How many girls had his cheap father harmed when he was young? Not to mention his mother, the eldest lady of the Emperor's God family was kidnapped and run away by him, as well as Nie. Xiaoyu's master, the daughter of the Hua family of the medical god family, Hua Mei and he also have an unexplainable past. Now even the head of the Yunlan Sect has an "old friendship" with him. Li Yubai looks so cold, and there is actually The past among the flowers really surprised Li Mu.
"Don't you know that father should be devoted to women? Alas, this fairy world's concept of mate selection." Li Mu secretly complained in his heart, but he still agreed to go to Yunlan Sect.
Li Yubai couldn't stay for long, every minute and every second now was extremely important, but before leaving, he still affirmed from the bottom of his heart Li Mu's growth in these days, whether it was the improvement of his cultivation or the maturity of his methods of dealing with things, this suddenly opened up Qiao's son gave him too many surprises, and he even had a premonition that one day, Li Mu would take up the banner of his family, surpass many of his ancestors, and leave a great reputation in the fairy world.
But Li Yubai didn't say these words. Instead, he patted Li Mu on the head, said "be careful in everything" and turned to leave. The white figure gradually moved away, but Li Mu could feel the change in his father's attitude towards him. , the past grudges have long been eliminated, and Rushan's father's love has always been there, but Li Mu once closed his heart, and took the initiative to ignore this emotion due to self-destruction.
"Don't worry, father, I have grown up. No matter how powerful the enemy is, we will face it together."
Turning around with the same resolute decision, Li Mu called for Lin Qingzhu and Fang Yan to start and rush towards the Liulong camp. Their next target had been determined.
Yunlan Sect.
