Bai Xiaoxiao seemed tired from crying, or maybe it was because she had been overtaxed in the past few years, and she was already exhausted, so she leaned in Lin Bai's arms and fell asleep sweetly.
In the middle of the night, Bai Xiaoxiao woke up from Lin Bai's arms with panic eyes. She grabbed Lin Bai's clothes with both hands. When she saw that Lin Bai was still beside her, her expression slowed down and she smiled sweetly. At that moment, she thought it was a man.
A dream.
"Fortunately it's not a dream."
Bai Xiaoxiao grabbed Lin Bai's clothes hand, slowly relaxed, and rested her head on Lin Bai's chest with peace of mind.
"It's hard to be an empress who dominates the world."
Lin Bai gently stroked the hair on Bai Xiaoxiao's back and asked with a smile.
Bai Xiaoxiao said resentfully: "It's not your fault. The sudden farewell from the God's Tomb disturbed my thoughts and made me unable to calm down."
Lin Bai whispered: "When I entered the city today, I visited the imperial city with Zhuo Lian, and I also learned from Zhuo Lian and the others about the current situation of Shenwu Kingdom. Shenwu is suffering from domestic and foreign troubles, but you don't seem to be concerned about it.
What better way to solve it."
"How did the situation get so out of control?"
Lin Bai asked in confusion.
Bai Xiaoxiao stood up from Lin Bai's arms, with a cold face and gloomy eyes as he said, "It's not because the Barbarian Soul Society broke the agreement. Otherwise, how could the Shenwu Kingdom fall into such a situation with enemies on all sides?"
Lin Bai asked: "Tell me carefully, why did the barbaric soul break the agreement?"
"Perhaps they never thought about abiding by it!" Bai Xiaoxiao said angrily: "Before you left, you made an agreement with the Barbarian Soul Society, but the second year after you left, the Central Holy Kingdom led its troops
When the attack came, I asked the Barbarian Soul Society for help, but no strong man from the Barbarian Soul Society responded to me."
"For this matter, I even asked Senior Li Zhengyi to personally contact the powerful men of the Barbarian Soul Society. At the same time, I led my troops to fight against the Central Holy Kingdom in Longhe County."
"In the battle of Longhe County, the Shenwu Kingdom suffered heavy losses and saw a defeat. Fortunately, at the last moment, Old Man Gu Zhou appeared and saved the Shenwu Kingdom."
"After I came back, I told Old Man Guzhou why the Barbarian Soul Society didn't abide by the agreement?"
"According to the agreement, they will fully assist the Shenwu Kingdom!"
"But Old Man Guzhou's answer was that... the barbarian souls would think that if you go to the Tomb of the Gods, you will never come back, so they have no intention of abiding by the agreement."
"In these years, only Old Man Guzhou and Imperial Master Bailu have secretly helped the Shenwu Kingdom to overcome crises time after time. Otherwise, the Shenwu Kingdom would have been destroyed by the Central Holy Kingdom long ago."
Lin Bai snorted coldly and asked again: "Has the strong man from the Ancient Immortal Sect descended to the lower realm?"
Four years ago, Lin Bai's battle in the Central Holy Kingdom forced him to reveal almost all of the Central Holy Kingdom's secrets.
Nowadays, these details are no longer worth mentioning in front of Lin Bai. The reason why Lin Bai went to the Tomb of the Gods to seek strength was actually to deal with the strong men in the lower realm of the Ancient Immortal Sect.
"Not yet, at least not yet, I haven't noticed any movement in Mount Shenshi."
Bai Xiaoxiao thought about it carefully. After the battle of the Central Holy Kingdom, Bai Xiaoxiao arranged for spies to go to the Central Holy Kingdom. Although they could not get close to Mount Jianshi, there was no strong news from the Ancient Immortal Sect in the Imperial Capital of the Central Holy Kingdom.
News from the lower world.
"The strong men of the Ancient Immortal Sect don't have a lower realm yet? How is this possible?"
Lin Bai frowned, puzzled.
Four years have passed since Lin Bai left the Mangu Continent, and during the battle of the Central Holy Kingdom four years ago, the Zhao royal family of the Central Holy Kingdom announced that they would invite the ancestors of the Ancient Immortal Sect to come down to the world to put down the chaos in the Mangu Continent.
, but now four years have passed, and Lin Bai has returned from the Tomb of the Gods, but the strong men of the Ancient Immortal Sect still have no lower realm.
On Mount Jishi on the Mangu Continent, there is a magic circle with the Ancient Immortal Sect of the Spirit Realm. Logically speaking, it should not be very difficult for the strong men of the Ancient Immortal Sect to go down to the lower realm. But why has the Ancient Immortal Sect not been seen after four years?
Is the strong one coming?
"Forget it, since the strong men from the Ancient Immortal Sect haven't come yet, let's resolve the matters in Dongzhou first."
Lin Bai came back to his senses and focused all his attention on Dongzhou.
Bai Xiaoxiao asked: "Do you have any good ideas? Before going outside, you must first settle the inside. The ascetics in the Lingnan Imperial City are difficult to deal with."
"Over the years, I have tried every means, but there is no perfect solution to deal with these ascetics."
"The cultivation of these ascetics is not high, but they have many followers inside and outside the world. Even some generals and ministers have been bewitched by them."
"In the early days, Chu Jiangliu led the troops to expel these ascetics, but tens of thousands of families in the Lingnan Imperial City and the ministers jointly impeached me. I had no choice but to punish Chu Jiangliu with one year of confinement, but in fact
, I want to keep Chu Jiangliu in the imperial city."
"Once Chu Jiangliu and his troops leave the imperial city, the imperial city will be in chaos."
Bai Xiaoxiao said with a solemn expression.
Lin Bai chuckled and said: "I have asked Chu Jiang Liu to lead 200,000 Chu family troops into the city. They will line up outside the palace tomorrow morning; there are also 300,000 Chu generals surrounding the imperial city and are not allowed to let go.
Any monk."
Bai Xiaoxiao was surprised and said: "You want to attack these monks? Lin Bai, not to mention that they have so many believers in the Lingnan Imperial City, the most important thing is... behind them is the giant Xizhou Fotu Foyuan Temple.
, if the current situation of Shenwu Kingdom and Foyuan Temple are to break up again, then Shenwu Kingdom will really be the enemy of the whole world. "
The monks who came to the Lingnan Imperial City were all claimed to be outer disciples of Foyuan Temple, but in fact Foyuan Temple had never come forward to admit that these monks were disciples of Foyuan Temple.
That’s why Bai Xiaoxiao tolerated them again and again!
Lin Bai smiled and said: "You have worked hard these past few years, take a good rest, and leave the rest to me."
"Within three months, I promise to give you back a prosperous Shenwu Kingdom!"
Hearing Lin Bai's words, Bai Xiaoxiao felt relieved. She knew that Lin Bai was not a reckless person. Since he ordered Chu Jiangliu to lead troops into the city, he must have thought of a countermeasure.
Bai Xiaoxiao simply stopped thinking about it and rested her head on Lin Bai's chest again, smiling sweetly.
"If you don't drink it, it will be cold. If it is cold, it will be a pity."
"Then you feed me...ah..."
Early the next morning, two maids, Chun Han and Xia Liang, entered the palace to dress up and change clothes for Bai Xiaoxiao. They saw Bai Xiaoxiao's radiant face and confident smile, which made them feel that the empress who conquered the world was back.
The morning sun rises in the east, and when the first ray of sunshine fills the imperial city, it reflects the hundreds of civil and military officials entering the palace, stepping into the golden palace, and waiting for the morning court.
Shang Lang, the national preceptor, still ranks first among the civil servants.
On the other side, Chu Jiangliu, the leader of the military attachés, was still missing.
Imperial Master Shang Lang shook his head slightly and sighed repeatedly. He had always been at odds with Chu Jiangliu in the court, but now that Chu Jiangliu had not been seen for a year and a half, Shang Lang also missed him.
Especially when Chu Jiangliu was gone, many ministers in the court showed their minions and tried their best to persuade Emperor Xiao to reconcile with the Central Holy Kingdom.
But the national master Shang Lang knew very well that there was no room for reconciliation in the Shenwu Kingdom. Once reconciled, the only way for the Shenwu Kingdom would be death. For this reason, the national master Shang Lang was also worried all day long.
