The leader of the Twelve Lanterns, Lan Jiuyang retrieved his lost seventh brother Hua Wudie.

I learned that the master of Phoenix Floating was Feng Ming, the sub-father of the Helan Dynasty.

Please bring Hua Wudie with you and go to the realm of destruction to visit Phoenix Ming. I hope to get his support to help the Helan Dynasty recover.

Phoenix Ming rejected Twelve Lanterns' request as soon as he saw Hua Wudie.

The reason is that after leaving the suffering, only Daoyin is left. The Helan dynasty fell for a long time, and if the Phoenix had been singing at the beginning, there might have been thoughts of restoring the country. However, the Holy Lion Dynasty has been destroyed, and the new Yuyu Dynasty has become increasingly powerful and popular.

Even during the Holy Lion Dynasty, the Helan survivors suffered from the tyranny of Yuchi's lineage. Under the rule of the Yuyu Dynasty, people had plenty of food and clothing, and sang Xia Xian in spring.

Even during the Helan Dynasty, the lives of the people in the past were not necessarily better than they are now.

Fenghuang Ming hopes that Hua Wudie can answer his question: Why are the twelve orchid lanterns able to restore the country with thousands of troops or strong ships and powerful artillery?

Hua Wudie's answer is that Jinlan Qiye wants to do what Zhuan Zhu and Nie Zheng did in ancient times. Go straight to Huanglong and take off the head of Emperor Yuliang.

Taking advantage of the fact that the Yuyu Dynasty was leaderless, he gathered the Helan remnants and rebuilt the Helan Dynasty in their homeland.

After Phoenix Ming heard this answer, he became even more unwilling to help the Twelve Lanterns regain their country.

Restoring the country has been the long-cherished wish of Jinlan Qiye since they became sworn brothers.

Hua Wudie saw that Feng Ming was unwilling to take action, and asked Feng Ming if it was because he was greedy for life and afraid of death?

Seeing that he could not dispel Hua Wudie's desire to return to the country, Fenghuang Ming bluntly said that if he could answer one of his questions, and if the answer satisfied him, he would be willing to help Jinlan Qiye.

Flowers without butterflies naturally respond.

The question in Phoenix Ming is how Hua Wudie or Lan Jiuyang are going to govern the country after the country is restored.

Hua Wudie's answer was that the restoration of the country has not yet been successful, so how can we talk about the restoration of the country?

Such an answer obviously did not satisfy Phoenix Ming.

Because in Fenghuangming's eyes, Jinlan Qiye was not even a little bit worse than Yuliang Huang.

Before Emperor Yuliang destroyed the Holy Lion Dynasty, he had already prepared to govern the herdsmen of the Holy Lion remnants and Helan remnants.

Facts have proved that under the governance of Emperor Yuliang, people lived better than before.

After the restoration of the country, how can Twelve Lanterns ensure that the people will live a better life than under the dynasty?

Faced with the facts, Hua Wudie still argued forcefully. He believed that with his brother Lan Jiuyang's magnanimity and strategy, his ability to govern the country must be better than that of the Yuliang Emperor.

Phoenix Ming deliberately reminded Hua Wudie, so he told the story of his encounter with Helan Wuque, the founder of the Helan Dynasty.

In the past, Phoenix Ming and Helan Wuque met. The two chatted happily, and Phoenix Ming gave Helan Wuque the four words, 'greedy for life and afraid of death'.

Everyone in the world is evil, greedy for life and afraid of death, but politicians must keep these four words in mind. Because the meaning of these four words is to covet the lives of all people and fear the death of one son.

Governing the country is the most important thing for the king of a country. We should be greedy for the survival of all the people below and fear the survival of the people.

Although Emperor Yuliang destroyed countless countries, all the people lived and worked in peace and contentment under his rule.

Helan Wuque also understood this truth clearly. After raising the army, he used kindness and power along the way to create the first prosperous age in the Western Region, the Helan Dynasty. And later worshiped Feng Ming as his sub-father.

Emperor Yuliang also understood this truth and treated the people under his rule equally. They were not treated less favorably because of who was whose remnant. Only then did the people's hearts return.

The reason why the Twelve Orchid Lanterns have survived to this day is not because Emperor Yuliang didn't notice.

But he was concerned about the Helan clan's remaining hope among the survivors and hoped to deal with it in other ways.

But as time went by, the Helan survivors began to no longer miss their homeland and the frequent actions of the Twelve Orchid Lanterns, which eventually led Emperor Yuliang to take the last resort.

This time, the Twelve Orchid Lanterns base was destroyed, and three of the Seven Golden Orchid Leaves were destroyed. This was the Yuliang Emperor's warning.

If the Twelve Lanterns continue to gamble with their lives and those of the Helan survivors, they will eventually be abandoned by the Helan survivors and end up in total annihilation.

Since Helan Yousi usurped the throne, the Lion Kingdom destroyed the Helan Dynasty and established the Holy Lion Dynasty. Until the rise of Emperor Yuliang, he unified the Western Wulin and destroyed the Holy Lion Dynasty.

These two changes of dynasties made Feng Ming understand that the rise and fall of dynasties is an eternal principle. Only by taking the hearts of the people as one's own heart is the best outcome.

Another person may not be able to do a better job for the Jade Liang Emperor.

From then on, Fenghuang Ming only wanted to be detached and did not care about worldly affairs. It is impossible to help the Twelve Lanterns to regain their country.

Regarding Feng Ming's answer, Hua Wudie returned disappointed.

At the same time, Qu Huaizhang also brought the Yuyu Dynasty to persuade him to surrender.

Qu Huaizhang made a powerful statement for Lan Jiuyang, saying bluntly that with the current strength of the twelve orchid lanterns, the Yuyu Dynasty could be destroyed with a snap of a finger.

It was just because of the reputation of the remnants of the dynasty among the Helan remnants that they hesitated to take action.

If they surrender this time, the Yuyu Dynasty only needs to publicize this matter to guide the Helan survivors. Let the twelve orchid lanterns remain among the survivors, and the last remaining hope will be lost.

When the time comes, Emperor Yuliang will no longer care, he only needs to send out a large army to extinguish the Lantern.

Qu Huaizhang's words were the same as the words of Phoenix Ming brought back by Hua Wudie, which made Lan Jiuyang think deeply about whether to accept the surrender of Yuyu Dynasty.

Qu Huaizhang came up with two more conditions given by the Yuyu Dynasty. First, he was pardoned for the crime of Twelve Lanterns.

Second, the Yuyu Dynasty will set aside a special administrative area in the homeland of the Helan Dynasty and hand it over to the Twelve Lanterns for governance.

The Twelve Lanterns can internally elect one person to be the leader of this area, and the Helan survivors can freely choose whether to go there.

Regarding the management of the administrative area, Yuyu Dynasty will not interfere, and only needs to complete the corresponding tasks.

After hearing this condition, Lan Jiuyang decided to accept the surrender of Yuyu Dynasty. But a condition was put forward, which was to return the Helan Dynasty's national treasure, 'power', to the Twelve Orchid Lanterns.

The three weapons of power, Hua Wudie's Wuwei Sword, and Phoenix Piao's Shun and Ni flow together are the "Three Immortals" that Feng Ming asked the Western domain name craftsman to carve immortally into, as the heirloom treasures of the Helan Dynasty.

After the Helan Dynasty was destroyed in the Lion Kingdom, Wu Fei's sword was snatched away by the loyal ministers and generals of the dynasty and used as Hua Wu Die's sword.

Along the same line, he was taken away by the phoenix song and passed to the Phoenix Drift.

Only the power fell into the hands of Yuchi Jiaoxiong, the lord of the Lion Kingdom, as his sword. After the fall of the Holy Lion Dynasty, it passed into the hands of Emperor Yuliang.

Emperor Yuliang ruled the roost with his spear skills, and power was used as the emperor's sword, so naturally he could not be given to his generals to use.

Therefore, it was sealed by Emperor Yuliang in the treasure house of Yuyu Dynasty.

It is reasonable for Lan Jiuyang to ask for this sword as a family heirloom.

Qu Huaizhang conveyed Lan Jiuyang's conditions to Emperor Yuliang.

Emperor Yuliang immediately agreed and asked someone to take the power. Hand it to Qu Huaizhang on the spot and ask him to hand it over to Lan Jiuyang.

After Lan Jiuyang got the power, he wanted to show his sincerity. He went alone with Qu Huaizhang to meet Emperor Yuliang.

The two parties began to finalize the relevant details, including the division of the special zone, the arrangement of powers within the zone, and the subsequent obligations.

The area given by Yuyu Dynasty is a fertile land, including rivers and plains, which is enough for the special zone to be self-sufficient.

Lan Jiuyang made a request, that is, he hopes to include the Three Ring Valley into the special zone. The reason is that although this place is not easy to live in, it is rich in giant trees.

Housing can be prepared for the Helan survivors who have moved here.

Emperor Yuliang rules the vast and rich Xiwulin and Western Regions, so he naturally doesn't care about this tiny land. The Three Ring Valley was included in the special zone.

The last thing was settled, and Lan Jiuyang officially surrendered to the Yuyu Dynasty on behalf of the Twelve Lanterns.

Emperor Yuliang informed the dynasty of this matter in the form of an imperial edict.

Qu Huaizhang fulfilled the conditions because he facilitated this matter. Emperor Yuliang was very satisfied and took the decision himself to transfer the land to Qu Huaishang.
