Dingkun Prefecture is in an emergency, the Shuntian Empire is in an emergency, many people in the rivers and lakes spontaneously organized, those who have money to contribute, and many hot-blooded men go to Dingkun Prefecture in groups to do their part to defend the Shuntian Empire.

At this time, Heijo was busy, and the whole city was busy with post-war reconstruction. The original site of the city lord's mansion buried the comrades who died in battle, according to the previous plan, the Pingcheng martyrs monument was built here, the front of the monument is carved with "Pingcheng heroes and martyrs are immortal" eight big characters, and the other three sides are engraved with the names of the fallen soldiers. It is carefully cleaned and flowers are laid every day. When the soldiers who returned to the army saw this monument, they would salute it in silence.

There are a lot of empty houses in Heijo now, and I chose a random place to set up a temporary castle lord's mansion, and now the main people in the city are concentrated in the house, and everyone is discussing big things together.

"Now that the empire's army is scattered everywhere, the situation facing Dingkun Prefecture is very passive, and the empire is also in turmoil all day long, let's discuss, what should we do next?" Ye Heng sat on the main seat and asked everyone.

"If you have the ability, of course we will go to support, but our position is too embarrassing, we are a lonely city in Gupingzhou, and we are separated by Linhan Prefecture and Quanshou Prefecture in the middle of Dingkun Prefecture, it is really difficult!" Li Quan said helplessly while analyzing the current situation facing Pingcheng.

"We have just succeeded in self-preservation, it's not that I'm unwilling to help Dingkun Prefecture, unwilling to share worries for the empire, to put it mildly, we are now a mud bodhisattva crossing the river and it is difficult to protect ourselves, if we send troops to support Dingkun Prefecture, Pingcheng is very likely to be attacked by others, isn't that equivalent to giving away the place that was hard to defend to others? I mean to preserve the strength and strengthen yourself as soon as possible, pay close attention to the situation before making a decision. Gao Lang expressed his opinion.

The others kept speaking, and everyone did not support the sending of troops to Dingkun Prefecture.

Ye Heng nodded and said, "Since it is not advisable for us to send troops to Dingkun Prefecture, then let's discuss how to strengthen ourselves!"

"Can I say a few words?" Chu Tian said with a smile.

"Of course you can!" This is the eldest brother of the city lord, Chu Tianxiao, this time he led the brothers from Xiangyunzhuang to come to our aid, and everyone welcomes Brother Chu to speak. Gao Lang introduced to everyone, and everyone immediately applauded.

Chu Tianxiao stood up and made a quadripartite gesture, and then said: "Judging from the situation that Pingcheng is facing now, if it does not grow stronger in time, once it is relieved by the enemy, they will send a large army to come again, it is really hard to say whether they can hold it! Now we have two paths to choose, first, take advantage of the weakness of the enemy's forces around us, immediately move and choose another place to continue development; second, take Pingcheng as the foundation and rapidly expand the sphere of influence. When it comes to strengthening oneself, it is nothing more than four words -- the soldiers are good and the food is sufficient! Without enough territory and population, it is very difficult to guarantee both the supply of soldiers and the grain and grass. ”

"Yes, we can't sit on Pingcheng, there are rebels on all sides now, if we don't take advantage of the loss now, we will suffer in the end. Li Quan agreed.

"I don't agree with the transfer, Heijo is my roots, and I don't want to go anywhere until I have to. Then let's choose the second one, where should we hit first?" asked Gao Lang.

A group of people immediately started a discussion on this issue, and the final result of the discussion was to send troops to the north first, because this direction is the weak link in the rebel defense, and the reinforcements are coming from this direction, and the rebels in some places have been scattered, as long as this side is recovered, it will be connected with the internal connection of the Suncheon Empire, even if the worst is planned, in case the city cannot be defended, it can also be ruged into the empire. Moreover, even if there is another battle, reinforcements from the Imperial side can go unhindered.

After making a plan, the parties began to discuss the number of troops to be sent and the candidates to lead the team, and finally organized a mixed army of 3,000 people, led by Li Quan and Chu Tianxiao, and decided to set off the next day.

The north of Pingcheng was originally the boundary of Gupingzhou, and the people everywhere did not have a good impression of the rebels, so the process of recovering the lost territory of the Pingcheng army was very smooth, and everywhere it went, it was welcomed by the common people. Of course, this is also related to the lack of military strength and weak combat power of the rebels. In just three days, there were no rebels north of Pingcheng.

The Pingcheng army moved to the east and south, and soon recovered half of Gupingzhou, forming a situation of separating the east and west from the rebels. To the east is the power of the Suncheon Empire, which is dominated by Pyongseong, and to the west is the base of the rebels, who are mainly in the ancient city.

In Heijo, Gao Lang is in charge of the post-war reconstruction, after all, he is the person who knows Heijo best, and this task is for him. Ye Heng, the city lord, became the shopkeeper again, and went into retreat, and the angry Yun Yiyao gritted her teeth, eager to bite him a few bites.

This little girl heard that she was coming to Pingcheng to support Ye Heng, so she had to come. Yun Yifeng was clear about her careful thoughts, but he didn't break it, and sat and watched things develop with the mentality of going with the flow, he believed that Ye Heng would not come nonsense.

After coming to Pingcheng to learn the news that Ye Heng had been married, Yun Yiyao went to find Snow Wolf with a gloomy face, she was very angry in her heart, why could this woman take down her Brother Ye first, she wanted to "see" what that woman's intentions were.

As soon as the two beauties met, Yun Yiyao used the magic power of the Lingxi clan, and her eyes turned extremely bewitching blue, and she really wanted to "take a look". How could the snow wolf know that he had been seen through, but he instinctively felt a little resistant to this woman who suddenly appeared, and wanted to escape from her gaze. Of course, Ye Heng knew what Yun Yiyao had done, and he was a little annoyed in his heart, and he was going to go over to give her a brain meltdown, but Yun Yiyao suddenly withdrew her magical powers, and in the blink of an eye, she expressed a strong kindness to the snow wolf, and "sister is long, sister is short" sticking up.

Snow Wolf was baffled by this girl who suddenly appeared, but she still received her very kindly. Ye Heng, who knew the truth, was a little crying and laughing at the snow wolf's performance, and secretly gestured his fist at Yun Yiyao, the little girl was not afraid at all, and gave him a big grimace.

"This stupid girl, can't you see that this little girl is here to rob your man? Ye Heng said secretly, affectionately helped the snow wolf tidy up his clothes, whispered a few words and went to retreat.

Yun Yiyao looked at Ye Heng resentfully, but Ye Heng fled quickly. In any case, he and Snow Wolf are newly married, he doesn't want to block Snow Wolf, so he doesn't give Yun Yiyao a chance to be alone, and he also needs to find a secluded place to have a good chat with the old priest.

Although Yun Yiyao was a little annoyed with him in her heart, she didn't really get angry, but began to befriend the snow wolf as much as she could, because she had seen the snow wolf's heart clearly, almost all of it was Ye Heng in her heart, and the meaning of her life seemed to be just for Ye Heng. For such a woman, Yun Yiyao completely understood why she would officially become Ye Heng's wife.

Some of the people from the Fengbing Pavilion joined the mixed army to help Pingcheng recover the lost territory, and some naturally took on the task of defending Ye Heng, after all, the original intention of their establishment was to be Ye Heng's personal guard. When Qiao Yong learned that Ye Heng had disappeared after his marriage to the snow wolf, his heart was a little blocked, because he had always regarded Liu Xinyue as Ye Heng's wife, but he still assigned people to protect the temporary city lord's mansion, of course, the snow wolf was also among their protection.

After Ye Heng's retreat, the old priest did not take the initiative to appear, so he began to calm down and sort out the harvest during this time. During this period of time, due to continuous battles and constant life-and-death battles with masters of similar strength, Ye Heng found that his cultivation was constantly improving, and now he was very close to the advanced martial sect level. Among them, the biggest change is his Heavenly Wolf Clan bloodline, which has now completely evolved from royal bloodline to royal bloodline, and the Divine Dragon Protector is the best proof of this. The other is the resurgence of spiritual power, this change is due to Chu Si's seizure, his attack made Ye Heng passively improve the use of spiritual power, at the same time, after Chu Si was destroyed by the old sacrifice, a large amount of spiritual power was left to Ye Heng, making Ye Heng's divine consciousness strength even further.

At the same time, the cultivation of the Vientiane True Scripture has also made a qualitative breakthrough, and the first six layers of exercises have almost reached the level of perfection, as long as he goes further, Ye Huaijue's can completely help him enter the Martial Emperor level.

Ye Heng retreated for several days, during which the old priest finally appeared. The old priest appeared this time the whole spirit body condensed a lot, one is that after several years of sleep, it has recovered a lot; the second reason is to thank Chu Si, Chu Si is also a soul body, he wants to harm Ye Heng's life, the old priest will naturally not spare him, completely devours his soul, and after removing impurities, nourishes the old priest and becomes his great tonic.

Mengji would never have dreamed that he would find another way to survive by constantly changing the furnace for the sake of immortality, and this kind of behavior that harmed others helped him avoid the situation of life and death again and again, but in the end, he was smart but was mistaken by cleverness, and became a great supplement for others.

The old priest listened to Ye Heng tell in detail about his experience over the years, and he was really embarrassed. He didn't expect that Ye Heng had gone through so many hardships, and the achievements he had achieved were far beyond his expectations. In the end, the two talked about the current situation of the Shuntian Empire, and the old priest said thoughtfully: "For the Shuntian Empire, this is a great catastrophe, but it is likely to be an opportunity to unify the Heavenly Fortune Continent, it depends on whether the Shuntian Empire can appear heroes who can turn the tide!"

"Teacher, what do you mean by that?" Ye Heng asked puzzled.

"Everything has its positive and negative sides, and now it seems that the Shuntian Empire is facing a great crisis, and if one is not good, it will completely collapse, but if he can survive this crisis, after the baptism of war, he will have the confidence to bravely face the enemy of the world. The reason why there is a situation of dividing the world now is because no one has the confidence to firmly unify the entire continent, even if they are secretly uniting to deal with the forces of the Shuntian Empire now, don't look at the fierceness they are making now, in the final analysis, they are still a group of villains hiding in the shadows, lacking self-confidence and courage. It's fine if their plans go smoothly, but if they are frustrated, there will inevitably be gaps within them. In the end, it was a matter of time before the Suncheon Empire was relieved, understand?" the old priest explained.

"However, the emperor is violently ill today, and there have been no outstanding figures in the court so far, so it is really difficult to say whether he can survive it. Ye Heng said worriedly.

"Yes, the Li royal family is not that simple. What you should do now is to make your own forces strong as soon as possible, there will definitely be a war that will sweep the entire continent in the future, and if you want to survive this war, you must have your own powerful forces!" the old priest emphasized.
