Chapter 550: The beginning of eternal peace (asking for monthly tickets)
Changfeng Tower is the most mysterious place in the entire Jiangnan region.

But it is not the tallest building. There is another tall building near Changfeng Tower. Nangong Wumeng sat cross-legged here, sighed, with a melancholy look on his face.

So worried!
Suddenly a voice came: "What are you looking at!?"

The sudden sound startled Nangong Wumeng. The woman's body visibly stiffened, a bit like a kitten that was slapped from behind, with its fur standing on end.

Immediately, he became very stubborn and stammered, "What, what do you mean by peeking?"

"I, I, I, I didn't peek, nor did I envy!"

Then she realized that although her cultivation had stagnated in the past few years and she had not been able to break through to the seventh-level master level, her foundation in the sixth level was actually quite solid, especially because she often got lost and accidentally went to the wrong place, and found some red, sweet fruits that looked like children growing on trees.

After eating it, his martial arts skills gradually became more powerful.

But the realm of a Grandmaster is particularly special. It is not something that can be broken through simply by accumulating skills. Even so, with her strong internal energy in martial arts, keen senses, and the Yin-Yang Rotating Sect's magic weapon in her hand, ordinary Grandmasters cannot catch her.

But she was startled by the man approaching her easily, and then she saw a familiar face, it was the old Siming.

The old Siming laughed, stepped on the old turtle and climbed up, exhaled, and said:

"This place is high, and it's really comfortable to get some fresh air!"

Nangong Wumeng looked at him and rolled his eyes. The old man climbed up with a smile and said, "Please move aside a little." Nangong Wumeng moved aside reluctantly. Old Siming sat there and exhaled.

This rare great master of the Yin-Yang School looked at this peaceful world and breathed a sigh of relief with great longing. He was good friends with Emperor Wu of Chen, the first emperor of Ying State, and Tuyuhun.

They were willing to tear apart the closed and chaotic world of the Red Emperor of that era.

To build a peaceful world.

They were really successful in the beginning, but after they succeeded, those heroes who had truly divided the land and become kings forgot their previous ideals. They agreed to fight side by side, but when they met later, they were accompanied by thousands of troops.

Lao Siming went to meet them one by one, but was met with complete disappointment each time.

Now, hundreds of years have passed, the desolation is gone, and the world has changed.

Old Siming looked at the scenery of Jiangnan and couldn't help but whispered: "I don't know if this will be successful..."

This is the moment when this old man, who has stayed in the human world for hundreds of years, is closest to his goal and dream, but he is also afraid that after waking up from a trance, the dream will still be a dream, like a dream bubble, which will disappear in an instant.

Lao Siming heard a firm voice in his ear: "It will definitely succeed."

He looked over and saw Nangong Wumeng's expression was serious.

Nangong Wumeng patted the magic weapon on his waist and said, "We have come all the way, from the tenth year of Tianqi to now, to the world split in the autumn of the eleventh year of Tianqi, to the later conquest of the Western Regions, and now, the Red Emperor's lineage has come to an end..."

"We have overcome so many difficulties."

"We have made so many sacrifices."

"We have already crossed countless mountains, rivers, lakes and seas, and we have accomplished one remarkable feat after another. Now at this point, how could we lose?!"

"We must win!"

Old Sima Ming looked at the determination in Nangong Wumeng's eyes.

This woman who took the elixir of immortality still looks the same as she did in the past. The resolute look on her face shows that she is a true warrior. Lei Laomeng, Qibili and others call her the lucky star and wealth star of the Qilin Army.

But at the same time, he was also the one who joined the army during the battle outside Zhenbei Pass. He was the most reliable comrade-in-arms and a soldier who fought on one battlefield after another as the army fought in all directions.

Old Siming grinned and said, "Hahaha, what a great spirit!"

"If you have this kind of energy, you can accomplish anything. However, after the world is settled, what are you going to do?"

Nangong Wumeng said without hesitation: "Need I say more?! We must return to the mountains and rebuild the Yin-Yang Rotation Sect of our teacher's lineage, accept disciples and teach martial arts, rebuild the mountain gate and inheritance of our lineage, and then grow old..."

This has always been her goal, and it is also what she has always told others that she will do after leaving the Qilin Army.

So when I answered, I could say that I did it without thinking and in one go.

But as he spoke, he became slower and slower, not as firm and resolute as before. At the end, he was even slower and stuttered, especially when he was speaking the last sentence, he almost couldn't utter it.

Old Siming laughed loudly, making Nangong Wumeng a little irritated, and stared at him with wide eyes.

The old Siming just said: "Old? How can you be old?"

"With your talent in martial arts, and your good fortune of being like the daughter of the God of Wealth, isn't it only a matter of time before you break through the Grandmaster level? Moreover, didn't you take the immortality elixir made by Hou Zhongyu?"

"Ahahaha, that was something that Hou Zhongyu refined back then."

"I'm afraid that after another sixty years, your face will still be like this and you won't age. So, I'm afraid you need to rethink this dream and consider it carefully before finalizing it."

Nangong Wumeng was stunned by this teasing, then she was delighted and said, "Well, well... that's true. Since I won't age, I must rethink it."

Old Siming said with a smile: "Didn't that kid Li Guanyi force you to sign a lot of 'indentures'?"

Nangong Wumeng glared and said, "What kind of indenture is this? It's clearly a work indenture!"

"He wants me to find lots of gold mines and silver mines. I, I don't have the ability to find so many mines!"

Old Siming laughed for a while and said, "I do have an idea."

"It can solve the worries in your heart."

Nangong Wumeng was suspicious and moved closer. Old Siming grinned and said, "I'm telling you, search for these gold and silver mines everywhere, and then, there are only a few left. Tell him that you can't find them, and then..."

Nangong Wumeng said: "Then..."

The old Siming said: "Then, you can stay by his side openly and legitimately!"

Nangong Wumeng has a strong perception.

So when she finished listening to these words, several breaths had passed before she realized what she had heard. Her face immediately flushed red, and she rushed out, pointing at the old Siming and the old black tortoise who were laughing happily over there, and stammered, "Who!"

"Who said we should stay with him!?"

"Besides, what's more! He will be the emperor in the future, expanding the territory and pacifying the world. I don't have any status, so why should I stay with him?"

Old Sima Ming and Old Black Turtle looked at each other.

Both guys saw a hint of joy in the eyes of the old guy opposite them.

The old man clapped his hands and laughed: "Hahaha, that's wonderful, you still want a status! What kind of status do you want to match your good fortune!"

Nangong Wumeng's face turned completely red.

This time, even the stuttering words could not come out.

The door of Changfeng Tower opened, and Emperor Qin took off his armor, wearing only a round-necked robe, a jade belt around his waist, and jade pendants hanging down, jingling. He stretched out his fingers to adjust his round collar while walking forward, jumped on his horse, and sensed Lao Siming and Nangong Wumeng over there.

He looked up and said, "Hey, General Scout Nangong Wumeng, the time is up."

"Why aren't you going to Tiance Mansion to sign your name? What are you doing here?"

The Qin Emperor smiled, and Nangong Wumeng shouted a few times, then escaped from the other side, flying into the air. His lightness skills were extraordinary, but in the old Siming's perception, that figure was as light as a startled swan, as graceful as a swimming dragon, and as ethereal and beautiful as a silver note with a value of one million taels of silver.

Old Siming couldn't help but sigh: "Ah, what kind of fortune is this!"

"If I had such good fortune."

"If you want me to live in a mansion and eat delicacies from land and sea, I am willing to do that!"

Li Guan smiled and said, "There may not be many delicacies from the mountains and the sea, but if the old man is willing, I can build a large garden for you. It is not difficult."

Old Siming rolled his eyes and said with a smile, "With a temper like yours, how could I not know that your so-called large-scale garden is probably just like you fooled Nan Hanwen, building a school or something like that, and wanting me, an old man, to teach you students."

"Sure enough, the Qin Emperor of Jiangnan never suffers any loss."

"As expected of the girl Murong Qiushui who brought her up."

Li Guan laughed a few times and said, "Then I would like to thank you for your praise on behalf of my aunt."

The old Siming cursed and laughed, then waved his hand and said, "I don't have such thoughts. I am alone and come and go alone. The leader of the Yin-Yang family is still in the academy. When the world is at peace, go find him."

"If my old man could have a glass of wine on a day of peace in the world."

"That's enough."

"I would rather travel and roam the world."

Li Guanyi looked at the old Siming waving his hand, nodded seriously, and said:
"Old man, you will see that day."

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

Many people gathered in Tiance Mansion.

Except for Yue Pengwu who was unable to come here due to the need to suppress Zhenbei Pass, the rest of the core members of the Qilin Army have been waiting here for a long time. They were divided into civil and military officials, and each of them had a solemn expression with a hint of excitement between their brows.

In the absence of Yue Pengwu, Yue Qianfeng was naturally the highest among the generals.

Among the civil officials, the first one is Mr. Pojun, followed closely by Yan Daiqing.

Because of their different status, Li Zhaowen and Chen Wenmian were not separated according to the usual civil and military orders, but were given separate seats at the side.

In the past, when the Qilin Army's Tiance Mansion summoned all the ministers and generals, they all had a lot to say to each other, and the atmosphere was mostly tense with a hint of relaxation. Although they did not chat and laugh, they could still talk about things.

But today seems different.

None of them even had the mood to chat.

But all they saw was Yue Qianfeng with his eyes closed like a tiger, Chen Wenmian killing a wolf sternly, Xiao Wuliang holding his sword on his waist, Wang Shunchen stroking his bow, Yan Xuanji was like a mountain, Qibili had a gloomy expression like a wolf in the desert, Fan Qing was calm and peaceful, Ye Buyi and Zhou Liuying all showed their sharp claws and fangs.

Po Jun was as arrogant as ever, Yan Daiqing closed his eyes and remained silent, Wen Lingjun's smile faded, Fang Ziqiao's smile was calm, Pang Shuiyun stroked his white beard with his hand, Yuan Zhi was still like a swordsman, Feng Xiao drank alone, Zhou Pinglu flipped through the files, Xiao Zhi was thinking about the list, Wei Xuancheng and Du Keming looked solemn.

Even at this time, the Seventh Prince Ashina led many generals to guard the Northern Territory Grassland; Yue Pengwu led Ling Pingyang, Han Zaizhong, Yang Xingshi and others to guard Zhenbei City, while Wen Qingyu transformed into Yan Daiqing of Saibei, and was at the Northern Territory Pass with Yuan Shitong and Xue Tianxing. However, the lineup left in Tiance Mansion at this moment can still be said to be full of brave generals and counselors. They also have other young and brave generals under their command, but they have not yet made a strong enough name in the world.

They are just waiting for this great battle to go down in history.

Li Zhaowen sat on one side, his phoenix eyes swept across the lineup, and he couldn't help but admire it in his heart. Every one of them was a famous general who had left his fighting spirit and traces in this chaotic world. Now that they gathered together, what they wanted was not just an ordinary battle.

What could make them so silent at this moment?

Only that kind of war.

The breathing sounds here became deeper and more subtle. No one spoke, and everyone just maintained a sense of calm and tranquility. In such silence, there was a faint sense of solemnity that gradually accumulated and became heavier.

Suddenly, footsteps were heard.

Li Zhaowen noticed that the eyes of these brave generals and famous ministers suddenly lit up.

The atmosphere in an instant seemed to be even more gloomy, like a group of tigers and the roar of dragons. They all looked towards the door. The instantaneous accumulation of such spirit was enough to scare an ordinary warrior to death.

With a crash, the door opened.

Civil officials and military generals all stood up.

Military generals bowed their heads and civil officials saluted.

They all said, "Your Majesty!"

Li Guanyi, wearing an ordinary round-collared robe, walked through the strongest group of civil and military officials in the world with a calm expression, saying, "Everyone, please stand up."

"promise!"

Li Guanyi sat at the top. Li Zhaowen's chair was lower than his, but he just smiled and said, "Guanyi." Li Guanyi greeted him and sat down.

His eyes swept forward and he said, "You all know why we are here. Jiang Gao has killed Jiang Yuan, and the situation in Ying State has changed dramatically. After Jiang Gao came to power, he made drastic changes and revised all of Jiang Yuan's original policies. There will be a war soon."

"What do you think?"

Everyone looked at each other, and Yue Qianfeng said, "At this point, we all know that we have to fight, and Ying State also knows that it has to fight. I'm afraid the key to the problem lies in when to fight this war and how to fight it."

"We are just generals. Your Majesty is the only one who can make this decision."

"Wherever the Qilin-patterned banner points, we will bravely rush forward first."

Li Guanyi: "Okay, then I think."

"The attack will begin in three days!"

Even Yue Qianfeng had never thought it would be so fast. His expression changed suddenly and he subconsciously asked, "Three days?"

Emperor Qin said: "Mr. Pojun, we have already mobilized the troops, which is enough."

"The troops march lightly and take the enemy by surprise."

"This battle is different from the previous ones. In the past, all the world wars were battles of checks and balances between many forces, which needed to be slow and gentle. But this time is different. This is the last battle, a life-and-death battle. It is better to be quick than slow, and better to be early than late."

"Yes, indeed, as you all imagine, if we continue to develop, our military supplies will be more solid and more abundant than they are now."

"But Yingguo will also continue to recover the vitality consumed by Jiang Yuan."

"We are accumulating food, weapons and manpower. When will this be over?"

"How about accumulating for 10,000 years?"

The expressions of many ministers and generals changed solemnly. They realized the Emperor Qin's determination. The king who was sitting high stood up. The high spirits of his youth had turned into a calm feeling overlooking the world. He said:

"Weapons, armor, and food are all we need after this battle."

"The general trend of the world is like this. Everyone feels that time is not on our side. They feel that we will be stronger in five years or ten years. But this is a kind of paralysis, because under our oppression, under the oppression of this future, Jiang Gao and Ying State will also usher in a new rapid improvement."

“There are too many variables in the future.”

"We want it now."

"When Jiang Su and Yingguo thought that we would choose to recuperate, we attacked and took the initiative. At this moment, the people of Yingguo are in turmoil. The time, place and people are favorable. We have the best opportunity because we have the right time and people. The army is as strong as iron.

Li Zhaowen saw that there was a trace of fire gradually gathering in the eyes of Yue Qianfeng and others, and this fire was burning because of the young king in front of them. The Qin Emperor held the sword at his waist and said in a calm voice:
"When I was young, I just started to learn the art of war. At that time, I could only recite some famous quotes from military sages, and I thought I knew everything about military affairs, which made people laugh. Now that I have experienced so many battles, I have understood a little bit."

"Speaking of Buddhism and Taoism, there are three levels of realm."

"I have seen that the Art of War also has three realms. The first realm is to know the enemy and be able to fight with the enemy on the battlefield, to defeat the enemy's moves, and to lead the army to gallop on the battlefield. This is the first realm."

"The second level is knowing yourself."

"Know what your goal is, know the general trend and strategy, don't be greedy for credit and rush forward when you win, don't be self-pitying when you lose, and stay calm. If Yuwen Lie and others were seeking victory on the battlefield, they would have lost their strategic judgment."

“Knowing yourself and your enemy will ensure victory in every battle.”

"However, I have recently gradually understood the third level, which is to guide the enemy."

"Guide the enemy's thoughts and judgment to create enough opportunities for your own strategy. Only in this way can you survive in a desperate situation, defeat the enemy with fewer troops, and achieve a great victory!"

"Now, everyone in the world thinks that our Great Qin will take a rest and recuperate."

"We will use this knowledge to dispatch troops quickly."

Li Guanyi raised his eyes and looked forward. Everything in front of him seemed to become illusory, as if it had turned into a world with crisscrossing patterns and heroes from all over the world galloping on it, like black and white, with swords whistling and constantly colliding.

Turks, Western Regions, Southwest, Central Plains, Wolf King, Chen Emperor, Ying Emperor, Red Emperor.

Heroic roles appear one after another.

It tells the story of all the romantic and magnificent things in this world.

He seemed to see Jiang Gao and Jiang Su.

The sound of swords exploded, and the Qin Emperor raised the sword. The sword tip rose up from the scabbard with a whistle, chopping off the magnificent glory of eight hundred years. The Lord of Arms raised the magic weapon and pointed it forward. On both sides of the sword, the flaming eyes of the civil and military officials were reflected.

The Emperor of Qin said: "The time, the place and the people are all right."

"We have already occupied two of them. The world is so big. There has been the Red Emperor for eight hundred years, and the world has been in chaos for three hundred years. This time, we will wipe it out with one sword!"

He paused and said, "Things always improve amidst contradictions and twists."

"All things in the world will return to the abyss and cycle through reincarnation. It is absolutely impossible to have eternal peace. However, we want to leave behind a spark of eternal peace, a flame that no one has left behind thousands of years ago. This time, let us set an example for future generations."

Everyone subconsciously raised their heads and looked at the Qin Emperor.

The Emperor of Qin smiled and said, "The people we have conquered in the past few years, their ancestors were also heroes. Our descendants may... no, they will definitely rot! This is the law of the development of things, and we cannot escape it."

"But don't be afraid, everyone. They may become what we hate, but there are still countless people in this world who understand our ideals."

“Dharma-appearance is the resonance between will and heaven and earth.”

"The ones who inherit our will are the ones we are waiting for to succeed us!"

"Gentlemen, please proceed with confidence."

"Our will will be inherited by others. Look, there will be countless successors!"

The expression on Emperor Qin's face was soft and gentle, and he said softly:
"In this way, even if eight hundred years later, when our last generation has become desolate and chaotic, there will still be successors who will pick up our swords and open up a new era. I think this is the true "peace for all ages"."

"But that is too far away after all. Ten thousand years is too long. We must seize the day."

"This earth-shaking event is up to us!"

"Would you like to go with me?"

"Do this, the most romantic thing in the world?"

Yue Qianfeng and others' hearts were beating violently.

One country for all the people, unification of the four seas and peace in all directions. This magnificent, absurd, incredible, yet like a moth to a flame, attracting them to risk their lives for this absurd dream is now before their eyes and within reach.

Please come with me. !
Please come with us!!!

Faced with such an invitation, faced with this person’s personal invitation.

He asked if they could realize this absurd and beautiful dream together.

How many people can refuse?
They felt the grandeur in their chests, and they stood up almost instinctively, taking a step forward in unison. In an instant, dragons roared and tigers howled, the void trembled, and a murderous aura rose into the sky.

They looked solemn and then tapped their hearts with their palms.

They bowed their heads in unison and said, "Yes!"

The murderous aura at that moment hit her in the face. Li Zhaowen subconsciously clenched her sword, her phoenix eyes narrowed slightly, and she felt an indescribable concentration and impact. Then she saw the humble and gentle Qin Emperor who never used his power to oppress others.

This time, the response that the ministers desired was given.

Five Dharma images appeared and immediately transformed into pure golden dragons, entwining around the Qin Emperor. His sleeves dropped down, and he placed his hands on the hilt of the dark golden sword and lowered his eyes.

He stood at the top of the era, but from Li Zhaowen's perspective, he saw that the Qin Emperor seemed to be standing in front of the wave of the times, his figure desolate and lonely.

With courage and bravery, facing the invincible enemy, he launched his determination and charge.

Said softly:
"I am here with you all."

So morale was high.

The long shouts never ceased.

"Your Majesty, my emperor's order!"
