Mu Qianmei's voice was slow and rhythmic, with a strong sense of majesty and solemnity, every word spoken, as if it could hit the hearts of all the soldiers, and everyone listened respectfully.

There are large armies on three sides of the worship platform, but in the open space in the north, there are hundreds of civil and military officials of the imperial court standing, among which Zhou Yunxi and Lu Zimo are standing at the front.

Mu Qianmei paused for a moment before continuing:

"Today's Xiyu Country is already at the most critical moment, although after hard work, Wu Changkong signed an armistice agreement with us, allowing us to get a short opportunity to recuperate, but the time will definitely not be too long, because he never wants to watch us develop and grow up rapidly."

"The Longxiao Kingdom, the Southern Star Kingdom, the Northern Moon Country, and the Heavenly Thunder Country have already taken the opportunity to send troops to our land when our country's civil war is nearing the end, and under the banner of supporting the people of the Xiyu Country to rebuild their homes, they completely ignore the existence of the Xiyu Kingdom's court, which is a naked act of invasion."

"Wu Changkong acquiesced to their existence, but we can't acquiesce, because this is our own land, and we can only be the masters of our own affairs, and we will never allow others to dictate in our home and interfere in our internal affairs."

"Fortunately, the four countries have chosen not to use force, they all hope to gradually control our country through the means of economic aggression, but whether it is military means or economic means, aggression is aggression, once our economic lifeline is controlled by them, then we will lose control of the state power."

"Fortunately, we have also increased our investment in the economy, and in our sphere of influence, we have absolute control, and in their sphere of influence, we also have the ability to compete equally, so it is likely that there will be conflicts in the future."

"When there is a conflict, there is a high probability that there will be a war next, can we compete with the Four-Nation Alliance?"

"Our strength is inferior to theirs, and our combat effectiveness is inferior to theirs, but this is our country, and what we are about to fight is to defend our homeland and defend the country.

"Since we started to create newspapers and print pamphlets, after this period of hard work, many people have woken up from their numbness and have joined us one after another, which is a good start, and in the future, we will continue to increase our propaganda efforts to let more people see the essence of Shikoku's entry and then join our fighting team."

"Only by uniting all the forces that can be united can our contingent continue to grow in the struggle, and the 1.5 billion people are our strongest backing."

"However, the so-called thousands of troops are easy to get, but one general is hard to find, and an excellent general can be worth thousands of troops, so we must continue to discover and cultivate talents in the war, and more outstanding generals will emerge, so that we can achieve the final victory with weak troops in the enemy's battle."

"Our Xiyu Military Academy has been established, and Guwang hopes that more generals at all levels can be trained here as soon as possible, so that they can adapt to our rapidly developing army."

"The three generals of the town army are the first three senior generals of our Xiyu country, when our army continues to grow and develop, more generals will emerge, the lone king is full of expectations for the three generals, in this troubled times, together with the army of nine million, to protect the country, open up the territory, build a great cause that will not be immortal, and create immortal miracles!"

"When a foreign enemy invades, a good man should saddle and whip, gallop across the field, expel the invaders, and return a real peace and stability to my Xiyu country, build a real peaceful and prosperous world, and those who offend me Xiyu will be punished even if they are far away!"

The words made all the soldiers present enthusiastic and passionate, especially Lu Jing, who had lived in the barracks for many years, and immediately couldn't help shouting loudly:

"Those who offend me in the western rain will be punished even if they are far away!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the three million troops below immediately shouted in unison:

"Those who offend me in the western rain will be punished even if they are far away!"

The shouts were full of pride, and the sound resounded in the sky.

After the worship ceremony, Liu Tingfeng went to the military camp in Cuiyun City, Baili Hefeng went to the military camp in Yulan City, and Lu Jing was temporarily stationed in Yulan City, preparing to go to Gyeongju County to guard the frontier at a later date.

Life lived in a busy and orderly manner, and continued to be peaceful for more than half a month, but on February 18, the peaceful life was finally broken.

In the east of the Xiyu Country, there is a prosperous metropolis called Linghai City, because of the sea, the business is relatively developed, it is the third largest city in the Xiyu Country in addition to Yong'an City and Magnolia City, it used to be Wu Changkong's sphere of influence, but now it has become the station of Longxiao Kingdom.

Because of the civil war in Xiyu, the armies of both sides of the war were transferred to the front line, and when Wu Changhao was assassinated, it seemed to be an empty city, so Longxiao Kingdom took advantage of the situation and quickly took control of the city, and now it has almost become their base camp in Xiyu Country.

It should be said that during that time, many cities in the West Rain Country became empty cities, and the four countries divided their own spheres of influence according to the agreement.

As the most powerful country, Longxiao Kingdom naturally chose the most prosperous empty city, because it was impossible for them to settle in Yong'an City and Magnolia City at will, so they could only choose this kind of internal empty city to settle in, which was easier to control quickly.

After Ling Haicheng was controlled by Long Xiao Guo, the small number of civilian and military generals stationed here by Wu Changkong were almost hollowed out, although they still continued to be in their respective posts, but they could only follow Long Xiao Guo's instructions in big and small affairs.

A small number of people who did not obey orders were either transferred to irrelevant departments or disappeared inexplicably.

The main industries of Linghai City have been purchased or secretly controlled by the people of Longxiao Kingdom, and Longxiao Kingdom, which has strong economic strength, has bought many officials who were originally stationed here with a large number of spirit stones, and has actually become a puppet of Longxiao Kingdom.

After Chinese New Year's Eve, Mu Qianmei sent a large number of personnel to sneak in, and purchased many industries with the same strong economic strength, and in just over a month, he reached the point where he could compete with Long Xiaoguo, so it was inevitable that there would be some friction and open and secret fighting.

Mu Qianmei, who has strong economic strength and rich experience in struggle, although as a latecomer, has achieved the last-behind in a short period of time, and the development momentum is very rapid, which makes the people stationed here in Longxiao Kingdom very dissatisfied, but they don't want to cause large-scale fighting, so they use their own means to compete with each other economically.

Subsequently, a tabloid appeared in Linghai City, called "Linghai Evening News", and it was sent around for free, which was divided into many sections, a large number of which were written about the daily life of the people, which seemed quite normal, and occasionally there were some hints about Long Xiaoguo's secret rule over Linghai City, but it was not obvious, so Long Xiaoguo didn't care much.

However, as time passed, the people slowly discovered that the newspaper compared the current and previous lives in Linghai City and found that there were indeed many changes, and the biggest change was that their government's handling of all kinds of disputes that occurred on a daily basis was very unfair, as long as there was a conflict with Longxiao Kingdom, they would basically safeguard the interests of Longxiao Kingdom.

The people finally understood that the city had quietly undergone great changes, and this place had become the ruling area of the Longxiao Kingdom.

Of course, Long Xiaoguo was also slowly alerted to the purpose of this newspaper, so he immediately used the power of the puppet government to seize this tabloid.

However, the first day it was just sealed, but the next day there were still newspapers that continued to be distributed free of charge, and it was never completely banned, and even a pamphlet called "Warning World" was published, which was also distributed free of charge, and tens of thousands of copies secretly flowed into all corners of the city every day.

The pamphlet directly wrote out the fundamental purpose of the four countries to settle in the West Rain Country, and warned the people of the West Rain Country not to be deceived by their current life, if they continue to develop, sooner or later the country will be destroyed, and everyone will become slaves of the country.

The appearance of the pamphlet finally awakened countless people of insight, and they also secretly publicized the pamphlet everywhere in order to attract more people's attention.

On the 15th of February, the City Lord's Mansion of Linghai City again seized a book-printing workshop that was printing pamphlets, and arrested the boss and put him in prison.

On February 16, when the news came out, countless people in Linghai City expressed their anger about it, and everyone rushed to tell each other, so that more people knew about it.

When the news reached the Royal Academy branch of Linghai City, the Royal Academy sent representatives to the City Lord's Mansion the next day to negotiate and demand the release of the workshop owner.

However, the City Lord's Mansion of Linghai City did not agree, and even the negotiators were detained.

This time it caused an uproar, the Royal Academy was able to represent Wu Changkong's imperial court to a certain extent, and now even their people were detained, and the people of the Royal Academy naturally disagreed, so on February 18, they organized more than 6,000 people from the entire academy to besiege the City Lord's Mansion and demanded that the City Lord's Mansion be released immediately.

The City Lord's Mansion was already under the control of Long Xiao Kingdom, so he naturally didn't want to give in, how could they tolerate the issuance of such tabloids and pamphlets, and naturally they didn't agree to release people.

Seeing that the crowd was outraged, the City Lord's Mansion of Linghai City sent a large number of soldiers to maintain order at the scene to avoid a riot.

However, the more this happened, the more it aroused the anger of the people, so the two sides continued to escalate the conflict in the quarrel, and finally, a conflict broke out, and when the cadets of the Royal Academy rushed into the castle lord's mansion, they had a head-on confrontation with the soldiers, and finally developed into a physical confrontation.

A riot began.
