If the imperial court continues in its current state, Lian Li feels that it may not be long before it completely loses control of the border troops, although it does not seem like it can still control them now.

Of course, this mainly depends on the Lei family's ideas.

Especially now, although there are occasional harassment from foreign tribes in winter, the border is actually still very stable.

After staying here for a few days, Lian Li could clearly feel that although the materials here might not be as abundant as those in the Central Plains, the mental outlook of the people here was much stronger and they were much more full of vitality.

Although many people in the Central Plains have turned to rely on the righteous sects, the sense of security that a martial arts sect or a reliable official organization can bring cannot be compared.

Lian Li was just thinking about these things in his mind and was not planning to tell Yun Huizhou.

After all, if these words were spoken out, it would basically be no different from rebellion.

It not only causes trouble for himself, but also for the Lei family army at the border.

And to put it bluntly, doing this is much more dangerous than hanging out in the underworld.

Thinking of this, Lian Li couldn't help but shiver.

Yun Huizhou noticed his movements and asked with concern: "What's wrong? Are you feeling cold?"

Lian Li shook his head, trying to hold back, but still couldn't help himself, so he leaned close to Yun Huizhou's ear and whispered, "I'm thinking about the dragon-slaying technique."

"Tu..." Yun Huizhou subconsciously wanted to repeat it.

However, as soon as the first sound came out, Lian Li covered his mouth with his hand, covering it tightly.

“Shh…” Lian Li put his other hand on his neck, making a throat-cutting motion, and said, “Keep your voice down. This could cost you your life.”

After hearing what he said, Yun Huizhou also realized what he meant by the dragon-slaying technique.

He looked at Lian Li with a complicated look in his eyes, and then said, "You are quite bold, boy."

Lian Li hurriedly shook his head, fearing that Yun Huizhou would mistakenly think that he wanted to become a dragon after slaying the dragon.

Yun Huizhou also knew that this was not something that could be casually said on the street. Fortunately, the two of them had almost finished their stroll outside, so they returned to the inn.

Lian Li originally thought that this matter was over.

After Yun Huizhou closed the doors and windows, he sat across from him and asked him, "Why are you suddenly thinking about this?"

When Lian Li heard him mention this again, he shuddered and said with a sad face: "It was only when I compared the mental state of the people in the border town with that of the people in the Central Plains that I suddenly felt that the current dragon..."

Lian Li only dared to say this in front of Yun Huizhou. If anyone else heard it, if they were on good terms with him, such as Zhao Honglan or Qu Tingquan, they would cover his mouth, interrupt his next words, and change the subject.

If you don't have a good relationship with him, you might be stabbed out and then caught and chopped to pieces.

After hearing this, Yun Huizhou was quite calm and instead discussed the matter with him very seriously.

"So actually there are quite a few people who want to be new dragons, but they are just waiting and watching. After all, there is still a baby dragon sitting on top now."

Lian Li understood Yun Huizhou's intention. Although the little emperor had been sidelined, he was still the legitimate royal family member sitting on the throne. People with their own ideas would start a rebellion without finding a suitable reason. They were traitors.

Others will start taking action under the pretext of cleaning out traitors.

It’s hard to say who will win in the end, but the person who makes the first move will definitely be the first to be surrounded and beaten by everyone.

It was probably because Cai Yong had been in power for more than 20 years and he did not dare to sit on the throne directly, but instead acted as a little emperor in public.

After all, once he sits on the throne himself, it will give other royal bloodlines who are eyeing the throne a reason to take action.

In particular, there is the Lei family army at the border. If Cai Yong moves, then the Lei family will also have reason to move.

Lian Li sighed and said, "Fortunately, we are in the underworld."

Yun Huizhou smiled and said, "So, don't keep thinking about these things. People in those positions have their own thoughts. At worst, the people are not without legs. If they don't live well, they will run to a place where they can live better."

The two stopped talking about this topic.

While resting in the border town, the two did not forget the purpose of their original visit, which was to find a horse for Lian Li.

However, it has only been a month since the Chinese New Year, and the foals will not be born until April at the earliest. Even if they enter the grassland and find a herd of horses now, they will not be able to find a suitable foal.

However, if Lian Li wanted, he could also try to tame an adult wild horse directly.

Especially when Yun Huizhou got the news about the wild horse herd from General Lei and made this suggestion, Lian Li was really tempted.

Although the training system is also good, it is also damn attractive to directly tame the strong adult wild horses on the grassland.

However, as I said before, a herd of horses can be found, but it is not certain whether there will be a BMW comparable to the Ice-Treading Horse in the herd.

After a discussion, the two decided that since they had news of a herd of wild horses, they should go into the grassland and take a look.

Just as they were preparing to enter the grassland, a Saker Falcon found them again.

The moment they saw Haidongqing appear, Lian Li and Yun Huizhou looked at each other and saw something in each other's eyes.

The matter of finding a horse will have to be postponed again.

Lian Li sighed slightly and said, "Why do I feel that every time I want to catch a horse, something will happen. It seems that God won't let me find a BMW of my own."

He pulled Yun Huizhou to the stable, touched the little yellow horse he often rode, and said, "So, my fate is Dahuang?"

Yun Huizhou also raised his hand and patted Da Huang's head and said, "But Da Huang is not young anymore. He can only accompany you for two years at most. He will have to start to retire. It's not that you can't ride him anymore, but his health is much worse than it is now."

Lian Li also knew what Yun Huizhou said. In fact, he was reluctant to part with Dahuang. After all, Dahuang was now his exclusive mount.

He also didn't want Dahuang to carry him around every day when he was old. Of course, Lian Li was still happy to see Dahuang walking and running in the woods near Zuimeng Island.

After the two of them sighed in front of the stable, they went to the room of the South Island Master.

After all, they had seen the Saker Falcon coming over before, and now the South Island Lord should have read the news above, so they had to go and hear what happened over there.

As soon as they entered the house of the South Island Lord, the South Island Lord dropped a bombshell on them.

"The words of Monk Sui Xin are now circulating everywhere in the Central Plains."

"Where dragon energy gathers, there must be a treasure appearing?" Lian Li asked.

The South Island Lord nodded in affirmation and handed over the note.
