Both worlds are like dreams

Lu Wenxuan came over to greet them and bowed to Wei Yunzhou and Xu Yao, "You two have worked hard. And Princess and Master Gu, without your help, Muhua City would definitely not be able to survive this time. Please accept my greetings."

Gu Qinglan hurriedly helped him up, "General, your words are too polite. Please stand up quickly."

Lu Wenxuan stood up and saluted Wei Yunzhou, "If you need my help in the future, just let me know."

Gu Qinglan smiled and said: "This is what we should do. I just hope that Muhua City will be safe from now on."

"Without food and supplies, Apocalypse will have to retreat. We have bought enough time." Xue Huang said with a smile.

"You have worked hard, go and have a rest first. I will leave the rest to Lu."

Everyone nodded and returned to the tent.

Hua Yu had asked people to prepare hot water and clean clothes. After being tired for a whole day, everyone could finally take a break.

Xuehuang took a bath, changed her clothes, and fell asleep on the pillow. When she woke up, it was already noon, and Huayu asked her to go eat.

At the dinner table, Lu Wenxuan also brought back new news that Tianqi's army was withdrawing to Pingyang City.

In this way, the crisis can finally be resolved.

The food and fodder that Wei Yunzhou and his men brought back was enough to sustain the city for two days. In addition, the people voluntarily donated food, and the people of Muhua City were united.

"I have sent people to welcome the Qingzhou army, and the support from Shangyang City should be arriving soon." Lu Wenxuan said. "But this time, there is still no way to determine who planned this plague. Is there any collusion between Beiling and Tianqi?"

Gu Qinglan said, "Whether it is related or not, this time they are all targeting Muhua City, so the general must be careful."

"Don't worry, Prince. I will definitely protect Muhua City."

At this time, Wei Yunzhou said calmly, "General Lu, now that the three princes of Tianqi are vying for power, which one do you think will win?"

Lu Wenxuan was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect Wei Yunzhou to be so straightforward. "I dare not speak nonsense about the affairs of the court."

"But you have to make a choice in the end." Wei Yunzhou said.

"I am loyal to Your Majesty, to the country, and to the people. No matter which prince becomes the crown prince, my heart will not change."

"General Lu is sincere, which is indeed admirable, but sometimes loyalty cannot save the future of this country." Wei Yunzhou said calmly. "For example, before, General Lu wrote several letters asking for help, but no support came. Please think carefully about the reason behind it." After that, he stood up and left.

However, Lu Wenxuan had a solemn expression. After Muhua City had gone through such a disaster, he understood that without the help of the fifth and second princes, Muhua City might not be in its current situation.

He had long known that as a powerful general he could not be independent of the imperial power, but he was still hesitant in his heart. He did not know who was the wise ruler between the fifth prince and the second prince. Once he put himself in the middle, it would be an extremely dangerous road. It would be meaningless for him to die alone, but he would no longer be able to guard the country.

During these days, he knew in his heart that all these people had sided with the Fifth Prince. He was also very curious about what kind of ability the Fifth Prince had that could make such a group of people willingly follow him, even though he was just a neglected prince back then.

Seeing his solemn expression, Xue Huang said, "General Lu, my second uncle has always been quite straightforward in his words, so please don't mind."

Lu Wenxuan nodded, "Princess, you are too kind."

"I'm done eating, enjoy your meal." Xue Huang put down her bowl and chopsticks and chased after him.

Wei Yunzhou was walking towards the river alone, holding a sword.

"Second uncle."

"Something?" Wei Yunzhou raised his eyebrows.

"It's not a big deal," Xue Huang smiled, "I just want to tell you that when things here are over, I want to go back with you."

Wei Yunzhou didn't show any surprise, he just said calmly: "Just think it through."

Xue Huang was immediately very surprised and looked around at Wei Yunzhou. Before she decided to tell him, she had already listed countless reasons and was even prepared to solve the problem using the Guigu Sect's rules. She didn't expect him to be so straightforward. She even suspected that someone was pretending to be him.

Wei Yunzhou did not explain and continued walking along the river bank.

Xue Huang followed him and said as she walked, "I thought you would object?"

"Is it useful if I object?"

"Of course it's useless." Xue Huang said with a smile. "But you're not someone who changes your mind so easily."

"Then what made you change your mind?" Wei Yunzhou asked. "Didn't you agree with him to wait for him at Qinghai Lake?"

"Before I reunited with you, I was planning to go to Qinghai Lake after things here were over. But I still want to go with you. No matter what happens on the road ahead, I just want to protect you. I also want to be the sword in Brother Qinglan's hand and carve out a way forward for him."

Wei Yunzhou was silent for a moment. "Back then, we let you leave because neither you nor we could protect you. But now it's different. You already have enough ability to gain a foothold in Beiling."
