Soon, Mu Bei and Yiyi returned to the other courtyard.

He did not return to the border city, but stayed in the courtyard, practicing his swordsmanship during the day and martial arts at night.

In the blink of an eye, three days passed. On this day, there was a knock on the door outside.

Mu Bei opened the courtyard door and saw Xiang Zimao, Lu Changhao, Suo Gen and Lu Yang standing outside.

"Why are you here?"

Mu Bei was surprised.

Xiang Zimao said: "We have withdrawn from the military headquarters!"

Mu Bei was startled and smiled bitterly: "You don't have to be like this."

He naturally knew why the four of them were like this.

"It's necessary!" Xiang Zimao clasped his hands and said, "Although we are fighting for the country and the people, such a royal family is chilling!"

"Brother Bei, you don't want to join the war anymore!"

Lu Changhao said.

Mu Bei nodded, he indeed would not participate in the war again.

As Xiang Zimao said, I am heartbroken.

"But you have a bright future in the army."

He looked at the four people.

Xiang Zimao is now a Qianhu, and Lu Changhao and the other three are not far away from being promoted to the rank of Qianhu. They all have a bright future in the army. Now that they withdraw from the army, everything they have done before will be lost.

"I only know that I am covered by Brother Bei! Without Brother Bei, I would not be where I am today!"

Xiang Zimao said.

Lu Changhao and the other three nodded: "If it weren't for Brother Bei, the three of us would have died long ago. We can't stand that thief acting like this!"

Mu Bei couldn't help but feel a little warm in his heart, the four of them were really loyal.

He welcomed the four people into the courtyard, and Yiyi quickly made tea for them.

Mu Bei introduced four people to Yiyi, and then introduced Yiyi to four people.

"Sister Yiyi!"

The four people said quickly.

Time passed very quickly, and it was dusk in the blink of an eye. Mu Bei took Xiang Zimao and four others to Shi Zhenhao's yard.

Two days ago, he came to feed the dogs adopted by Shi Zhenhao, and then found the owner of the yard and bought the yard.

Now, that guy is no longer here for the time being, and he is worried that the owner of the courtyard will drive away these dogs.

He was right. That guy Shi Zhenhao was usually very rude, but at the critical moment, he could fight for his brother and sister.

"You can live here as long as you want, and help take care of these dogs. They were adopted by a friend of mine."

he laughed.

Time passed quickly, and three days passed in the blink of an eye.

On this day, Qin Yueyao came and told Mu Bei a piece of news. After learning what Qin Zhen had done, Emperor Qin was extremely angry. He yelled "treason" and died.

"Your Majesty is a wise king. It's a pity."

Mu Bei sighed.

Qin Yueyao nodded and said: "The eldest prince Qin Gu inherited the throne. Due to frequent border wars, the succession ceremony was temporarily abandoned."

Mu Bei didn't care about this, but at this moment, there was a knock on the door outside.

Mu Bei stood up and opened the courtyard door. There was a man in dragon robe standing outside the door, followed by several armored guards.

In an instant, Mu Bei knew that this man must be Qin Gu, the current Emperor of Qin.

Sure enough, Qin Yueyao stood up: "Your Majesty!"

Qin Gu nodded, looked at Mu Bei and said, "Can I go in?"

Mu Bei didn't say anything.

Qin Gu walked into the yard, looked at Mu Bei, paused and said: "General Mu, I have nothing to do without going to the Three Treasures Hall, so I will speak frankly. Nowadays, border wars are becoming more frequent. I hope General Mu can let go of the past."

, returned to the border and led the armies to fight."

"I can't let it go! In addition, your Majesty, please don't call me General Mu anymore. If your Majesty has nothing else to do, then please do it!"

Mu Bei said indifferently.

"Presumptuous! What kind of attitude do you have?!" A guard yelled: "You killed a royal prince for your sister, and His Majesty never held him accountable. Now he has come to visit you in person. He has given you enough face, so don't get in trouble with him!"

Compared to the royal family and the country, what is your sister?!"

Mu Bei's eyes turned cold, and he swung out his sword and cut off the guard's head with a pop.

"My sister is everything to me! My sister is my country! What does the royal family mean? Whoever dares to say anything wrong about my sister will be killed by me!"

He said coldly.

Behind Qin Gu, the other guards wanted to scold Mu Bei for being bold, but they didn't dare at this moment.

The sharp and thick murderous aura in Mu Bei's body made these guards tremble with fear.

Qin Gu looked ugly, but sighed.

"General Mu... Mr. Mu, I know that the royal family is ashamed of Mr. Mu. Can you please, for the sake of the country and the people, go to the border to participate in the war?"

he pleaded.

Mu Bei looked cold and directly issued an order to expel the guests.

Qin Gu took a deep breath, cupped his hands toward Mu Bei, bent his legs, and was about to kneel down.

Mu Bei raised his hand and grabbed him, stopped him from kneeling and pulled him up forcefully: "I, Mu Bei, have a clear conscience towards the country and the people. Please stop forcing me!"

Qin Gu looked at Qin Yueyao as if asking for help, hoping that Qin Yueyao could intercede for him.

Qin Yueyao sighed and said: "Your Majesty, the prince represents the royal family. How hateful is it that the third prince did what he did? Ministers should be loyal, but now, if you still want ministers to be loyal, isn't that loyalty worthless?"

Qin Gu was stunned, his face full of bitterness.

"sorry!"

He apologized to Mu Bei and left dejectedly.

The courtyard became quiet. Qin Yueyao stayed here for a few hours, chatted with Mu Bei about some things, and then said goodbye and left.

In the following days, Mu Bei continued to practice in the courtyard.

His cultivation has reached the middle stage of the Unity Realm. The foundation of this realm is not yet very stable. He uses the Fusion of Yuan Dan to assist with One Sword Peerless Combination.

Soon, another five days passed.

After five days of dedicated practice, on this day, he finally polished his cultivation in the middle stage of the Unity Realm to the extreme, becoming as unshakable as a rock.

After getting up and stretching his limbs, he went to the courtyard to practice martial arts.

Jian Seventy-Two is only one step away from reaching the ninth level. Once he reaches this level, his combat power will be greatly improved.

In a blink of an eye, three days passed.

Yiyi was responsible for daily necessities of life, so he didn't have to be distracted. Three days later, he finally cultivated Sword Seventy-Two to the ninth level.

Keng!

The sword roared harshly. He swung the sword at will, and seventy-two sword shadows appeared. Each one seemed real and sharp!

He threw his hand and threw the 梼杌 sword, and the 梼杌 sword turned into a stream of light and flew out at an alarming speed, cutting off more than a dozen ornamental peach trees dozens of feet away.

Then, the sword made a strange arc and returned to his hand.

There was a glimmer in his eyes and he nodded secretly.

Jian Seventy-Two has cultivated to the ninth level, and he has mastered the second secret killing sword skill, the Hundred-Step Killing Sword!

The Hundred-Step Killing Sword is an extremely exquisite fusion of sword style and power. It can kill a person's head from a hundred steps away! Moreover, the sword can return to the hand on its own!

After a short pause, he began to practice the Fengxing Nine Transformations and the Heart-Breaking Fist. In the blink of an eye, another four days passed.

Four days later, on this day, he reached great perfection in both Feng Xing Jiu Zhuan and Heart Breaking Fist, and his combat power skyrocketed.

"Brother!" At this moment, Yiyi came back from shopping and said anxiously: "Xia Guo is forcing sister Yueyao to get married, otherwise he will attack us!"

Mu Bei's eyes moved slightly: "Go to the Ninth Prince's Mansion first!"

He and Yiyi quickly rushed to the Nine Princes' Mansion, and happened to meet a eunuch who came to announce Qin Yueyao's entry into the palace. The envoys of the Xia Kingdom were waiting in the palace hall.

"I'll go with you."

Mu Bei said to Qin Yueyao.

"I'll go too!" Mu Yiyi pulled Qin Yueyao: "Sister Yueyao, don't worry, as long as my brother is here, I will never let you marry to the Xia Kingdom! That old emperor of the Xia Kingdom is what a toad wants to eat.
