Meng Shaoyuan was stunned and said, "Brother Lu, I advised you not to act rashly, but I didn't let you take the initiative to find trouble with that guy." ”

Lu Ping'an said: "I just have an idea now, if I really want to do it, I will definitely think about it, think about the whole thing, plan it, and then take action." ”

Meng Shaoyuan said: "But no matter how you plan, he is the emperor of Dongyu after all!"

Lu Ping'an said: "But just like you said just now, if he really sends a saint to kill me, then what should I do? If it is aimed at myself, it is fine, but what if it affects other people and harms the innocent?"

Meng Shaoyuan felt that he had said the wrong thing just now, and said: "Think about it again, there will be other ways, such as going back to the sect to retreat and cultivate, or going somewhere to practice for a period of time, avoiding the limelight, and when you become holy, it's not too late to come back and face this matter." ”

Lu Ping'an said: "Sanctification or not is indeed the key, but even if I don't become holy, if I take the initiative, it is still possible to kill that guy and completely end this grievance." And waiting here for him to send someone over, at most it is just a hawk dog to kill him, and there is no way to cut the grass and eradicate the roots. ”

Meng Shaoyuan was afraid that Lu Ping'an would really run to kill Qi Zhu, so he hurriedly said: "Stop, stop, don't keep thinking about it, let's rest first." ”

Lu Ping'an smiled bitterly and said, "Brother Meng, you don't have to worry, I'm not the kind of person who is hot-headed and acts impulsively. ”

Meng Shaoyuan said: "Usually you wouldn't, but in this whole war, you are under too much pressure, the ghost knows if you will collapse all of a sudden, and you just want to solve Qi Zhu as soon as possible?"

Lu Ping'an smiled: "You have to worry too much about this, I am not so fragile yet." ”

Meng Shaoyuan said: "I hope that's the case." By the way, I still have some business, so let's go out first. ”

Lu Ping'an asked, "What's the matter?"

Meng Shaoyuan was stunned for a moment, feeling a little like a thief, and couldn't answer for a while, so he immediately said, "I'...... I went to find Brother Tian and wanted to ask him something. ”

Lu Ping'an said: "I think you want to go to your master, tell her what I just said, and then let her dissuade me, right?"

Meng Shaoyuan's eyes widened slightly, and he said in surprise: "You guessed everything?"

Lu Ping'an said: "As far as your careful thinking is concerned, it is not difficult to guess at all, but I advise you not to waste your efforts, Senior Sister Mu knows whether it will affect my decision." ”

Meng Shaoyuan said: "So you really decided to kill Qi Zhu?"

Lu Ping'an frowned and said, "Let me think about it again." ”

"Then you think about it slowly, I still have to inform my master. ”

After speaking, Meng Shaoyuan quickly ran out of the military tent and went to find Mu Qing.

"It's a big deal, Master, it's a big deal!"

Meng Shaoyuan found Mu Qing near the main tent in the army, and immediately shouted.

Mu Qing glared at him and said, "What's so much fuss? Could it be that Dongyu Kingdom is calling again?"

Meng Shaoyuan said: "It's not, but now it's Brother Lu, who wants to kill Qi Zhu, Master, you have to stop him as soon as possible and break his thoughts!"

Mu Qing was not surprised by this, and said indifferently: "Hasn't he always had this idea?"

Meng Shaoyuan said: "But this time, he seems to really plan to do it." ”

Mu Qing was silent for a while, and said: "If this is the case, then he must have thought it through before he will do it, and he will definitely come to tell me before he acts, so I don't need to run to persuade him now." ”

Meng Shaoyuan said: "But...... What if he just sneaks away and does it?"

Mu Qing said: "That's not a trivial matter, I believe he won't be so willful." ”

Meng Shaoyuan was helpless and said, "Okay, since you said so, Master, then so be it." ”

Mu Qing said: "You better take care of your own affairs, after two big battles, have you had any new cultivation perceptions, and have you grown in the cultivation realm?"

Meng Shaoyuan said confidently: "Of course there is, as long as I am given another ten days and half a month, I will definitely be able to break through to the second reincarnation!"

Mu Qing said: "Oh, this is what you said, after half a month, if you don't succeed in breaking through, then wait for punishment!"

Meng Shaoyuan wanted to say this matter and get two praises, but he didn't expect that he would be in danger of being punished, which made him immediately collapse and said, "Master, are you too strict with me?"

Mu Qing said with a serious face: "You participated in the war this time, haven't you deeply realized the importance of strength? Isn't it that you haven't seen enough dead people, and the fighting scenes are not cruel enough?"

Meng Shaoyuan was stunned for a moment, his expression became a little serious, and said: "I've seen enough, those who have low strength and bad luck are like ants on the battlefield, they may be trampled to death by others at any time, and they can't control their own fate at all." ”

Mu Qing said: "And in front of the real powerhouse, you are also just an insignificant ant. ”

Meng Shaoyuan said: "Master's words are reasonable, the apprentice understands, now go and work hard to cultivate, no longer delay time!"

Mu Qing waved his hand and said, "Go ahead." ”

Meng Shaoyuan said: "Then Brother Lu's affairs will be handed over to you, Master." ”

Mu Qing said: "Well, I will pay more attention to him." ”

Then, Meng Shaoyuan said goodbye and left.

Mu Qing stood in place, looking in the direction where Lu Ping'an was, her eyebrows furrowed slightly.

In fact, she was still a little worried about Lu Ping'an, but she didn't show this emotion in front of Meng Shaoyuan.

However, Mu Qing was still willing to believe in Lu Ping'an's decision-making ability, so he didn't go to him, just as if he didn't know anything, and continued to stay near the main account in the army to protect Hu Xian's safety.

......

When night fell, Lu Ping'an and the others were summoned by Hu Xian to the main tent in the army.

Last night was to celebrate the victory and let everyone relax, and tonight is the main discussion.

According to the original plan, tomorrow they will return to the court, and those soldiers and monks of the Cangwu Kingdom will also return to various places.

Therefore, Hu Xian and the others naturally had to discuss some follow-up things.

However, most of what they discussed was about the court and the army, and Lu Ping'an didn't know about it, and he didn't have much interest, so he always sat next to him and listened.

But in fact, Lu Ping'an also knew very well that even if Cangwu won the war, it would still suffer heavy losses.

The money and materials that are spent can be re-earned or produced, but it will take some time.

But those dead soldiers and monks are undoubtedly a major blow to the Cangwu Kingdom, and it is still something that cannot be restored in a short period of time.

Because of this, Hu Xian and others have a lot of things to plan and deal with, to find a way to restore the national strength, but also to increase efforts to train more and stronger soldiers and monks.

According to the calculations of Hu Xian and others, regardless of casualties, it will take at least two or three years for the entire country to return to the previous standard of living.

Moreover, this is still under the premise that there are no accidents, and if there are any natural and man-made disasters, it will be even more troublesome.

All in all, the current situation in Cangwu is not very good, but Hu Xian and others are still relatively optimistic about the future development and have great hopes.

Seeing that the discussion of Hu Xian and the others had come to an end, Lu Ping'an asked, "Is there any news from Nanyun Kingdom?"

Before that, Lu Ping'an and the others had been worried about the problems of Nanyun Kingdom.

And now that the war has ended, and Cangwu Country is also in a state of relatively weak national strength, Lu Ping'an will inevitably worry about whether Nanyun Country will want to take advantage of the weakness.

Hu Xian said: "Soon after the end of the war, Emperor Nanyun contacted me, but it was just a polite word of congratulations, and it had no practical significance. ”

Lu Ping'an said: "Even if he really has any ideas, it is estimated that he will not say them directly, so I think it is necessary to pay more attention and beware of Nanyun Kingdom in the future." ”

Hu Xian nodded and said, "Well, I also have this intention, after all, the Dongyu Kingdom will not have any thoughts about our Cangwu Kingdom in a short period of time, and among the two neighboring countries, it is the Nanyun Kingdom that is more dangerous." ”

Guan Xiantu said: "The most important thing is that with our current state of national strength, we will not be able to withstand any war. ”

Hearing this, everyone in the audience fell silent.

After Cangwu defeated the army of Dongyu State, it did make the outside world change its perception and even pay attention to it.

However, the state of existence of Cangwu has not undergone essential changes.

It has always been a small country sandwiched between two major powers, with wolves in front and tigers in the back, and it still needs to be vigilant and cautious in order to continue to survive and keep the country and the people safe.

"In the final analysis, we still have to restore our national strength as soon as possible, and even make Cangwu stronger than before, so that other countries will not dare to invade us easily. ”

In the silence, Lu Ping'an said.

Hu Xian showed a slightly bitter smile and said, "Of course I understand this truth, and even when I first ascended the throne, I thought about making Cangwu Kingdom a powerful country. But if we really want to do this, how easy is it to talk about it? We have a small number of people in the vast land and are relatively scarce in all kinds of resources, so it can be said that it is as difficult as climbing to the sky if we want to develop and grow. ”

At this time, Mu Qing, who had not spoken much, suddenly said: "Your Majesty, if someone had told you before that the Cangwu Kingdom could defeat the 220,000 troops of the Dongyu Kingdom, would you believe it?"

Hu Xian was slightly stunned and said, "I'm afraid...... I won't believe it. ”

Mu Qing said: "But it turns out that Cangwu Country has done it, so even if you think that it is extremely difficult for Cangwu Country to develop into a strong country now, as long as you continue to persevere, there is still hope after all." ”

Hearing this, Hu Xian's face suddenly changed, his eyes lit up slightly, as if he had been woken up in an instant, and said: "What Miss Mu said is very true, your words really make me empowered!"

Inspired by Mu Qing, Hu Xian realized that the victory of the war did not seem to have any benefits for the Cangwu Kingdom, but in fact, it could still play an exciting and important role, and this was not only for Hu Xian, but also for the top and bottom of the Cangwu Kingdom.

They can even defeat the Dongyu Kingdom, so why can't they become a powerful country?
