Kill the enemy and get a wife? I'll single-handedly slaughter my way through the Northern Barba

Upon hearing this, Li Ping'an and Lü Zheng were filled with heroic spirit.

"Third brother is right! Although the three of us brothers have gone our separate ways, our brotherhood is as strong as gold and stone."

"Today's parting is for tomorrow's reunion, to launch a northern expedition!"

"We must take Shuozhou and Fengzhou back from the Northern Barbarians!" Li Ping'an said.

Lü Zheng also looked longingly at him: "Brother, we not only want to reclaim Shuozhou and Fengzhou, but we also want to conquer the Northern Barbarians!"

"The northern barbarians have destroyed our cities and lands, and harmed the people of our Great Qian Dynasty. This grudge must be avenged!"

Lin Feng nodded vigorously: "Second Brother is right! In the future, the three of us brothers will drink from the Yanran River and trample the Divine Martial City!"

The three men got more and more excited as they talked, and their bold words, fueled by alcohol, were uttered.

In an instant, much of the sadness at parting was dispelled.

The following day, Li Ping'an, the commander of the Liaodong Army, and Su Mo, the military advisor of the Liaodong Army, led their troops back to base.

During the period when the Daqian Dynasty negotiated peace with the Northern Barbarians, the situation in Liaodong became increasingly tense.

There were two major battles involving more than 10,000 people.

Li Ping'an bid a reluctant farewell to Lin Feng and Lü Zheng, feeling extremely reluctant to part.

Su Mo and Zhang Liao, these two old friends, were also saying their final goodbyes.

"Brother Su, it has been more than ten years since we parted, and now we must part again."

"The road ahead is long, please take care!"

Zhang Liao held Su Mo's hand, his eyes slightly red.

Su Mo smiled and said, "Brother Zhang, next year's birthday celebration will be His Majesty's sixtieth birthday. I will accompany the Duke to the capital to offer my congratulations to His Majesty."

"We'll meet again then, but Brother Zhang, you must be careful!"

Zhang Liao was slightly taken aback upon hearing this: "What do you mean by that, Brother Su?"

Su Mo glanced at the Prince of Qin and his entourage not far away and whispered, "The capital is a place of great power and influence, and His Highness the Prince of Qin has made unparalleled contributions."

"Those in the court who support His Highness Prince Qin and those who support His Highness the Crown Prince are now irreconcilably at odds."

Su Mo tightened his grip on Zhang Liao's hand slightly.

"They dared to assassinate the King of Qin in Zhenyuan City, so who knows how many more sword fights will occur in the capital."

"You can no longer go to the battlefield, so don't act rashly and get involved in the fighting."

"The Duke has already sent me a message that he will personally petition His Majesty on the Emperor's birthday next year to transfer you to Liaodong to guard the Liaoxi Corridor."

"You'll be safe then."

Duke Dingguo, Li Chengliang, had a good relationship with Zhang Liao.

He admired Zhang Liao's contributions to the country and couldn't bear to see Zhang Liao leave the army completely.

He didn't want Zhang Liao to be dragged into the chaos in the capital.

With Su Mo's mediation, Li Chengliang agreed to request permission to transfer Zhang Liao to Liaodong on the Emperor's birthday next year.

How could Zhang Liao not know Su Mo's good intentions?

He cupped his hands in thanks to Su Mo: "Brother Su, thank you very much!"

Su Mo and Zhang Liao bid each other a reluctant farewell before Su Mo finally departed.

With the departure of the Liaodong army, Zhenyuan City became much emptier.

In a few days, the three kings will also return to the capital.

That evening, in Zhenyuan City, at Zuixianlou Restaurant.

With the war over, many shops in Zhenyuan City that had previously closed have reopened.

Zuixianlou is one of them.

"Your Highness Prince Zhou, General Lin."

The slightly plump and well-off owner, Pao Niu, personally served the last dish to the table.

"The dishes are all served. If you two need anything, just let me know. I'll be waiting outside."

A gentle smile appeared on King Li Ji's face.

"Manager, there are quite a few customers today, so you can go and do your work."

"Don't let my business be delayed by General Lin and me. Go!"

Upon hearing this, the cook cupped his hands in a respectful gesture and said, "Very well, I'll take my leave!"

Inside the private room, Liu Ruyan gazed at the table laden with delicious food, her appetite whetted.

She picked up a small piece of crispy pork, put it in her mouth and chewed, immediately feeling the lingering fragrance on her lips and teeth.

"tasty!"

"The chefs at Zuixianlou are really skilled; their cooking is just as good as Fanlou and Hua'elou in the capital!"

Zhou Wang Li Ji glanced helplessly at Liu Ruyan and apologized to Lin Feng: "General Lin, my sister is used to being carefree, please don't mind her."

Lin Feng raised his glass and toasted Li Ji.

"Your Highness, you flatter me. Miss Liu and I are friends, so of course I don't mind."

"However, the servant who came to deliver the message said that His Highness Prince Zhou has something for me today. I wonder what it is?"

Li Ji and Lin Feng shared a drink, smiled slightly, and then Li Ji took out a small scroll from his sleeve and handed it to Lin Feng.

"General Lin, I have found the ancient records you asked me to find for you."

Lin Feng had almost forgotten about it and hurriedly asked, "Is it... the Boundless Flower?"

Li Ji nodded: "My men searched for this book in the Wenlou for several days, so it was delivered a little late, but fortunately it arrived in time."

"The records in ancient books are of unknown veracity and are full of fantastical and inexplicable things, but you can take a look for now."

Lin Feng opened the scroll and studied it carefully.

What is written on the scroll is basically consistent with what King Li Ji of Zhou said.

The Wuji Flower is said to have originated from the ancient Kunlun Mountains, and was obtained by King You of Zhou from the Queen Mother of the West in the ancient Kunlun Mountains during his travels throughout the world.

King You of Zhou built twelve "Wuji Flower Palaces" throughout the land.

"The incense burns continuously, and people worship, believing it to be a divine miracle."

"When war broke out, the Wuji Flower Palace was destroyed, and nine of the twelve palaces were lost."

……

"The Boundless Flower embodies Yin and Yang, and reveals the secrets of life and death. When combined with immortal blood to create a spiritual elixir, it can... grant immortality?"

Lin Feng frowned as he read this.

"eternal life?"

"Your Highness, is there any other ancient text supporting the claim that the Boundless Flower can grant immortality?"

King Li Ji of Zhou gave a wry smile: "Records about the Wuji Flower are too scarce. I have read so many books, and I have only seen it in one ancient book."

"As for the claim of immortality, I find it untrue."

Historical records state that King You of Zhou died of a sudden illness. If he truly consumed an elixir of immortality, why did he die?

Suddenly, Lin Feng's mind flashed back to the huge bronze gate in the Black Dragon Pool underground palace, which was decorated with the Wuji Flower.

An irrepressible curiosity arose spontaneously.

What's behind the door?

Lin Feng is now certain that the underground palace beneath Black Dragon Pool is connected to King You of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

Whether the underground palace is the same as the "Wuji Flower Palace" recorded in ancient books remains uncertain.

Since the people need to make pilgrimages, they can't all dive into the deep pool to do so, can they?

Therefore, this "Wuji Flower Palace" should be built on the ground.

"Your Highness, now that you have returned to the capital, could you please find me a map of the Great Zhou Dynasty?"

"The more detailed the better, I need it."

When Lin Feng left the Black Dragon Pool Underground Palace, he drew the locations of the twelve Wuji Flower Palaces of the Great Zhou Dynasty on a white cloth.

The murals record the locations of the remaining three Wuji Flower Palaces. If we can compare them, we should be able to determine their approximate locations.

"good!"

King Li Ji of Zhou did not refuse and readily agreed: "After I return to the capital, I will personally search for it for you and send it to Ruzhou."

Hearing their conversation, Liu Ruyan couldn't help but smile: "Lord Lin, you don't actually believe in the legend that the Boundless Flower can grant immortality, do you?"

Throughout history, countless kings, nobles, generals, and ministers have wielded immense power.

"If the Flower of Immortality could truly grant immortality and even change dynasties?"
