Just when Lu Qing was immersed in a long period of cultivation, the outside world was also quietly changing.

The Emperor is dead.

After all, he is only a mortal in the flesh, how can he survive if his chest and heart are pierced and even his skull is overturned?

Even if Harusui Suzuki found Yaki Orochi in the fastest time, it would not help.

He is not the true God after all, and He cannot be brought back from the dead.

But the Emperor cannot be regarded as a complete dead man.

At least not many people in Jeon Dongying know about his death.

Except for a few high-ranking people like Suzuki Harusui, all the people who saw the body of the Emperor that night were disposed of.

This is a decision discussed by the high-level leaders of the headquarters, because **** is a national-level pyramid scheme, and there is no way out at all, either to move forward and win one after another, relying on constantly devouring other people's flesh and blood to expand aggression, or to be terminated with the strategy of war and war, and the whole country will enter the abyss of no return.

And the command will never allow the second scenario to happen, either for their own sake or for the sake of the so-called imperial cause.

But after all, the emperor is dead, and even if this matter can be concealed for a while, it cannot be concealed for a lifetime.

If the Emperor, who has always been willing to stir up the feelings of the people, does not appear in public for a long time, it is inevitable that he will show his feet, and the people will become suspicious sooner or later.

So they made an agreement with Yagi Orochi: the agreement of 100,000 blood food would remain the same, but it would have to be postponed for two to three years, and in those two or three years, Yagi Orochi would have to ensure that the emperor could appear in public.

It's not that hard.

It was impossible to resurrect the dead, but it was easy for Him to make a corpse appear to everyone as it was a living person.

Even a small Gu Master can do this, let alone Him?

The idea of the command was that in two to three years, the war in East Asia would be basically over, and then the news of the unexpected death of the emperor due to a bad illness and his succession by a new emperor would not be too angry and the people would not cause much turmoil, and the whole situation would still be stabilized.

The idea of the Yaqi Orochi is also very simple: when the altar is completed and he swallows 100,000 blood food, the whole world will be ruled by him, so why should he be subject to these islanders?

In this way, the two sides reached a secret agreement, and the dead emperor was treated as a puppet to fool the people.

He will not be able to rest for at least the next two to three years.

However, stabilizing the people does not mean that this matter is over.

Because the death of the Emperor represents the end of a period and the collapse of a force.

And when the old period ends, a new period comes, the old forces fall, and the new ones rise.

This transition between the old and the new is definitely not a simple transition, because for those who are in it, what they will gain or lose is naked profit and even life.

When immeasurable interests and the safety of one's own life are involved, what kind of bloody struggle will be involved behind it?

This is a question that no one can answer, not even the parties involved.

Because they are all insiders, they can only see the present and their own interests, and no one knows what impact this behind-the-scenes power struggle and bloody massacre will have on the overall situation and the future.

And when people can finally see the whole situation through the fog, it has already become an irrevocable history.

Wang Mengmi returned to the Wang Mansion as soon as she was sent back to Fujian, and what she saw was indeed the empty home.

There is not a single trace of popularity in the entire mansion, so it can be seen that in the days she left, no one has come back at all.

Her father was afraid that he didn't know that his daughter had gone to Dongying from beginning to end.

Subsequently, she left only a simple letter and left Fujian alone, heading towards the border area where Lu Qing said.

Although this road is far and difficult for ordinary people, and it has to pass through a large area of Japanese-occupied areas on the way, it is not a difficult road for a qi refiner like Wang Mengmi.

Moreover, along the way, she also met many young people like her, some from Jiangxi, some from Hunan, some from Shanghai, Wuhan, and even from remote Yunnan and Guizhou, among which there are also intellectuals and university students with modern higher education, although they come from different places, they all have the same destination - the border area.

These people are ordinary Chinese youths, although they have different origins, different experiences, and different identities, but their purpose is to pursue the spark and the bright red.

Thought is like a torch in the darkness that constantly draws those who move forward towards it.

In the past, Mr. Sun Wen set up a door alliance at the Whampoa Military Academy:

Please go the other way to get promoted and get rich, and don't enter this door if you are greedy for life and afraid of death.

Sideways: Revolutionaries are coming

For a time, countless people with lofty ideals rushed to be there.

Now, the torch of revolution has been passed to the border areas, attracting revolutionaries and progressives from all over the country.

In the process of accompanying these people, Wang Mengmi began to come into contact with and understand communism, began to accept and learn Marxist philosophy, political economy and sociology from them, and began to understand the theoretical ideas of dialectical materialism and historical materialism.

Gradually, her original "mysteries" and misunderstandings about communism and proletarian revolutionaries were swept away little by little.

She began to understand and revere those revolutionaries who did not regret their lives for the sake of their ideals and beliefs, and began to feel the surging revolutionary romanticism of the proletarian revolutionaries, as well as the spirit of revolutionary optimism that could hopefully imagine the beautiful vision of communism and sacrifice blood for it no matter when and where she was.

She also gradually began to understand where Lu Qing's self-confidence in firmly believing that the future of human society belongs to communism came from.

She felt that she had found her direction, that worthwhile and meaningful cause that she was worth pursuing and dedicating her life to.

All of this made her feel excited, and it also made her look forward to the red holy place of thought more and more.

....................................................

Wang, after sending Wang Mengmi back to Fujian safely, returned to Dongying, she wanted to see Lu Qing but found that she couldn't find any trace of Lu Qing.

Because Lu Qing had already opened the heart fire refining body, his mind had already reached the realm of sitting and forgetting, and the heart illusion technique was passively turned on all the time, and no one in this realm could detect his breath.

After looking for no result, I had to give up and returned to the vast ocean to continue waiting.

She believed that Lu Qing would definitely come back to her, because what he said would definitely be done, no matter how long it had passed.
