Clouds and mountain tops

Miao Qingtian took out his treasured Bodhi fruit and gave it to Bailiqi. He had no better gift for him.

This time the Bodhi fruit is different from the previous ones, Miao Qingtian said,

"Brother Qi, the ones I gave you before were all picked by me recently. These ones were left by my ancestors. These fruits are also bigger."

"My ancestors only left me twenty fruits. I used ten myself, and I give you the remaining ten. You should also cherish these fruits. I always feel that they are very spiritual." Miao Qingtian said very solemnly.

"Thank you, Brother Miao. I will cherish these fruits. Please rest assured." Bailiqi replied.

Bailiqi looked at these fruits carefully. Not only were they larger than the previous ones, but their color was also much darker and slightly golden.

Just smelling it can make people feel refreshed, and the feeling is obviously different.

Baili Qi put these fruits into the lake formed by his cultivation, and the fruits absorbed the lake water much faster.

He speculated that these fruits might also have a greater ability to store lake water.

General Yao promoted Miao Qingtian and Bailiqi to higher positions, with Miao Qingtian being promoted to Dubo and Bailiqi to Deputy Dubo.

Baili Qi was mainly responsible for the students on the Jiulianshan side, assisting Elder Gu. Both of them had their own rooms.

Now that Bailiqi has his own independent room, he can enter that independent space to practice.

He saw that Miao Qingtian had only achieved the initial integration but his cultivation level had risen by eight small realms, so his confidence in practicing the "Five Elements Kung Fu" was greatly increased.

His main task in the near future is to find treasures with growth properties in several other areas.

At present, he already has the "Han Yue" sword and some Bodhi fruits, and has solved the problem of absorbing the "gold" and "wood" attribute lakes.

The other treasures with the attributes of "water", "fire" and "earth" have been put on the agenda. Although there is no clue yet, the goal is clear.

On this day, Baili Qi walked around the battlefield, stood on the city wall, and looked into the distance. About ten miles away was the enemy.

Being so close, war could break out pretty quickly.

In recent years, we have rarely taken the initiative to invade the enemy and have basically adopted a defensive stance.

Listening to General Yao’s stories of the past, the scene here was different more than 20 years ago.

At that time, there were several brave generals in the court who often took the initiative to attack the enemy. It can be said that their main task at that time was to fight against foreign enemies!

It is also because the enemy has been fighting with our country for more than a hundred years, so the imperial court is very angry. Once the country becomes strong, it will immediately counterattack.

They even attacked the enemy's lair and captured the enemy's Khan alive.

At that time, when the people in the country heard the news, they applauded and cheered. Finally, the enemy was inflicted with pain!

At that time, the guards at the city walls, to put it exaggeratedly, could sleep there every day.

Because, the enemy couldn't even defend their own home, let alone attack.

But in recent years, things have changed.

The imperial court was in constant turmoil and had no intention of fighting against foreign enemies.

The late emperor listened to the slander of treacherous ministers and wanted to depose the crown prince.

The queen believed the prince's words and secretly mobilized the imperial guards to kill the treacherous ministers when the late emperor was away, but she was unsuccessful.

When the late emperor found out, he was furious and wanted to punish the queen.

The queen hanged herself out of shame, and then the prince was beheaded.

But later the late emperor came to his senses and realized that what the prince did was correct.

The treacherous minister did have evil intentions, but he was confused for a moment, which led to the tragic death of the prince and the unjust death of the queen.

However, what has happened is irreparable.

Later, the late emperor heard that the prince had a son who was still alive, so he issued an imperial decree to pardon him. However, the grandson was never found.

The late emperor was about to die, so he could only appoint another young son, who was only two years old, as the crown prince.

This young prince also ascended the throne very quickly, but what does a child know?

The real power is still in the hands of those important ministers. Those powerful ministers are scheming against each other all day long and have no real talent or knowledge. How can they have the mind to govern the country? That’s why we have the situation today.

At this time, the setting sun shone on the city wall, and it seemed as if golden down was sprinkled everywhere on the wall, making people feel a little warmer in this somewhat cold weather.

The breeze blew the branches on the city wall, and the leaves fluttered in the wind, looking free.

But these trees have also witnessed the rise and fall of this western battlefield, but they cannot speak and make any judgment.

Where is true freedom in this world?

Even the prince would be beheaded and the queen would be forced to hang herself. These two people could be said to be at the pinnacle of power, and this would happen to them.

What about the others?

What about freedom?

Bailiqi thought about himself. He was just a hunter's child and had never offended anyone in the party.

But Elder Gu just didn't like him and tried to harm him several times. Who could he go to for justice?

“What should people do when faced with these injustices or difficulties?”

"Tolerate? To beg for peace?"

"The key is that even if you surrender, the other side may not live in peace with you. I'm afraid they will even kill you!"

“What should we do?”

Bailiqi has been thinking about this issue for some time.

"No one can tell me a correct answer." Bailiqi thought.

"There is no correct answer. There is only one way, which is to break through. Break through! Increase your strength and fight against all injustices! Join forces with like-minded people to overthrow everything by force!"

That was all Bailiqi could think of.

"Being timid and fearful will not help at all. Increase your strength, guard against conspiracies and schemes, and break through the impasse!"

Baili Qi figured this out and suddenly felt a lot more relaxed. From then on, he was no longer afraid of anyone, even when facing Elder Gu.

Before, because Elder Gu was an elder of the sect, Baili Qi would often make some concessions and try his best to save the other party's face. He kept many words unsaid and tolerated things over and over again.

But after experiencing some things during this period, he realized that he was wrong. Elder Gu never changed his attitude towards him because of his concessions. Instead, he became even worse!

Then, there is no need for me to be so polite and tolerant to Elder Gu!

Bailiqi found General Yao, told him about the events of that night, added some information, and reflected the doubts about the matter to General Yao.

General Yao attached great importance to this information. This information is not simple!

The enemy said, "The intelligence is wrong, retreat!" This means that there is a traitor in our group, which is a big event.

If we don't find this traitor, how can we fight the rest of the battle?

Any decision we make may be revealed to the enemy in advance. What's the difference between this and committing suicide?
