Sun Fu also looked overjoyed: "Then, little brother, thank you for your hard work. On the day of your triumph, I will personally hold a banquet for you to celebrate your victory!"
"Your Majesty, you're welcome. It's the duty of a man to protect his family and country, as he should." Lu Li said politely, then looked at the crowd and cupped his hands and said, "Everyone, I'll leave first and wait for my good news."
"Take care, little friend!"
"careful!"
When everyone saw this, they all smiled and hugged each other.
Lu Li did not stop, and disappeared in the square in a few flashes. Sun Fu was secretly surprised, but he did not expect that Lu Li was actually a master.
But soon he nodded secretly. If he could chat and laugh with Tian Wanxi and others, he would certainly not be an ordinary person.
Thinking of this, he felt inexplicably relieved.
"Brother, this person is a little too enthusiastic, can he be deceitful?" Someone frowned and whispered to the person next to him.
"Don't worry, my Wisdom is already at the intermediate level. This person, like us, belongs to the camp of escapees. He must have accepted the mission to protect the emperor, so there will be no problem."
The old man next to him smiled and looked at Tian Wanxi again, "Besides, haven't Fellow Daoist Tian and that person known each other for a long time? If there was a problem, she wouldn't be so enthusiastic."
Hearing this, the man from before couldn't help but nodded, "That's true. Fellow Daoist Tian has been fighting alongside us for more than ten years, I can still trust him."
Afterwards, everyone chatted with each other for a while, and then left one after another. In the ten years since the war, they have never been as relaxed as they are today.
the other side.
Lu Li didn't linger after leaving the city lord's palace. He went to the street to buy some dry food, and then went to the inn to buy a good horse. Then he went straight to the east gate and left the city.
After leaving customs this time, he came directly to Lutai City. He hadn't returned to Hidden Dragon Mountain yet, and he didn't know what the situation was like there.
After leaving the city, follow the official road and rush southeast.
Three days later, he arrived at the edge of Yinlong Mountain.
From a distance, Lu Li saw a line of horses blocking the official road, and there were soldiers with red silk tied around their necks on both sides.
Seeing Lu Li riding his horse, the soldiers on both sides immediately moved together and blocked Lu Li's front.
The captain raised his hand to signal Lu Li to stop, and then asked in a deep voice, "Who are you!"
"My name is Ji Changping. If I want to see the leader of your alliance, please let me know." Lu Li got off his horse and said politely.
"Ji Changping? Never heard of it! Could you be that Sun Fu minion?" The captain sneered and looked at Lu Li with narrowed eyes.
Hearing this, the other dozen or so soldiers immediately drew their sabers from their waists.
"It doesn't matter if you haven't heard of it. You just need to pass the news back. Someone must know it." Lu Li was not angry and said calmly.
Hearing what Lu Li said, the captain couldn't help but frown. He pondered for a moment and called a soldier: "Xiao Hu, flying pigeons are sending messages to distinguish the true from the false."
"It's the captain!"
The soldier clasped his fists and accepted the order, quickly running towards several huts on the right side of the road.
Seeing that the other party was not that kind of arrogant and unreasonable person, Lu Li couldn't help but secretly breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile, "Thank you very much."
The captain said expressionlessly: "Don't be in a hurry to thank me. The decision on this matter has not yet been finalized. If I find out that you are cheating and playing tricks on me, you won't be able to leave today!"
Lu Li smiled dumbly, then walked to the side and sat down on the stone pier.
The central area of Yinlong Mountain has been bulldozed to create a huge square. There are many houses and buildings built around the square. The one in the north is the most luxurious and spacious. A high-hanging plaque reads "Tian Xia Lou".
At this time, there was a man in his thirties or forties wearing casual clothes in front of the Tianxia Building. He had a thin face, a tall figure, and an extraordinary bearing.
It is Sun Xing, the current leader of the World Alliance.
Next to Sun Xing, stood two stooped gray-haired old men, one was Chen Hu and the other was Liu Meng, the former head of Menghu Village.
Both of them are over 90 years old. They are still alive and may collapse at any time.
The two of them just wanted to see if the Tianxia Alliance would one day dominate the world. But judging from the current situation, it is too slim.
Not to mention that the Western coalition forces of the two countries are getting closer.
The mysterious strong men in Lutai City alone are enough to give the top leaders of the Tianxia Alliance a headache. The Tianxia Alliance has no shortage of brave soldiers, but there are still some shortcomings in the strength of the top leaders.
These powerful senior officials are all old. Although their martial arts level is not low, their bodies are not as good as when they were young.
As for the younger generation, there are very few who have reached the sixth level of martial arts and above, and it is difficult to support this army of one hundred thousand.
It can be said that although today's Tianxia League is beautiful on the surface, in fact, it has reached a turning point. It is not an exaggeration to say that the youth has not succeeded to the yellow.
If it drags on for a few more years, when the older generation can no longer bear it and die, and the younger generation cannot take charge alone, the Tianxia Alliance will face its greatest dilemma.
Especially in such troubled times, this kind of crisis will be infinitely magnified, and it is not impossible to put it into effect even after decades of hard work.
Thinking of this, Liu Meng couldn't help but let out a long sigh.
Sun Xing put his hands behind his back and stared blankly at the vast mountains outside the square. He could vaguely see white tents hidden among them, and he felt indescribable helplessness in his heart.
This seemingly peaceful day actually kept him awake all night. He was less than forty years old and already had some gray spots on his temples.
"Uncle Chen, Uncle Liu, it's windy outside, let's go sit inside." Sun Xing retracted his gaze, shook his head, looked at the two old men on the left and said warmly.
He knew exactly what the two old men were thinking.
Not only these two old people, there are many old people in the alliance now, such as Lu Qingchu, Wu Changzheng, Pang Zheng, Lin Shi... They are not weak in strength, but unfortunately, they are all old.
The only master who is still relatively young is Yuan Shu, the youngest son of former Zhenbei general Yuan Chen. He is not much older than himself, but his strength has already reached the sixth level of martial arts.
He is a rare young general in today's alliance.
Just when Liu Meng and Chen Hu turned around and were about to walk downstairs, a black shadow suddenly appeared outside the square, and then, the sound of rapid horse hooves sounded.
Sun Xing looked up, and the black shadow became clearer and clearer. He could see that the person coming was a middle-aged general wearing silver armor with a calm face.
After a while, the general suddenly raised the reins in front of the three men, raised the horse, turned over and dismounted, and said respectfully: "Greetings to the leader of the alliance, I have met Mr. Chen and Mr. Liu."
The person who came was none other than Yuan Shu.
"General Yuan came here in a hurry without any courtesy, but do you have something important to report?" Sun Xing said with a slight expression.
"The sentry post at the front reported that a man named Ji Changping wanted to see the alliance leader." Yuan Shu said, taking out a scroll of paper from his arms and handing it to Sun Xing.
"Ji, Ji Changping..."
Sun Xing was stunned for a moment, then asked in shock with a look of disbelief on his face, "Which whistle!"
Ji Changping!
When Liu Meng and Chen Hu heard this, they immediately opened their mouths. This name was so familiar yet unfamiliar. They thought the alliance military advisor was dead, but they didn't expect...
"Western whistle, direction of Lutai." Yuan Shu replied to Sun Xing.
"Okay! Lend me a horse!"
Hearing this, Sun Xing was extremely excited. Before Yuan Shu could agree, he got on his horse and galloped out of the square.
