It doesn't matter what the lord is.

Alayya listened beside him and tightened her sword involuntarily. Merlin looked serious for the first time and said to Lid:

"Besides, even if you go to the Dragon Tribe, there is no guarantee that war can be avoided. The Dragon Tribe is not a race that abides by agreements.

They believe only in power and profit,

If they judge that they can gain a lot through war, they will continue to fight.”

Lid exhaled and replied:

"Got it. I'll think about it."

Merlin nodded, said nothing more, and quietly left. ..…

Dragon clan, Dragon King Cave.

The dark dragon king opened his golden eyes and looked at his daughter.

Princess Dong Li of the Dragon Clan stood there solemnly, her face as usual. The Dragon King's deep voice echoed in her mind: "Have you found out who killed Ofland?"

Dong Li replied calmly:

"I have basically found out everything. I have informed the Kingdom of Yongtian and asked them to hand over the murderer who murdered my ninth brother." The Dragon King's voice sounded again:

"So, will they do as they are told?" Dong Li replied:

"Yes. Because they are greedy, cowardly, lazy, and selfish. They only care about themselves. What's more ridiculous is that they can't even see their own future because of their short-sightedness. Don't say that I only want the life of Lord Yunyang. Even if I ask them to cede a neighboring territory to us today, someone will definitely come out to support me."

The Dragon King exhaled a breath of hot air and praised:

"As expected of my daughter, you know them very well. I'll leave this matter entirely to you." The Dragon King looked away from Dong Li and stared into the distance silently, as if talking to himself:

"However, I really didn't expect that our ancestor, who had been sleeping in the dragon of the abyss, was still alive... That church is not trustworthy, but it can be used as a stepping stone for us to find our ancestors. After using it, we can just throw it away."

Dong Li's golden eyes were calm. She opened her mouth and replied calmly, "I understand."

24. Follow me back to the Rebellion

Yunyang Lingyun City.

These were difficult times for Yunyang.

As Lid had expected, as time went on, more and more people denounced him. Various discussions and opinions became rampant, gradually developing into a threat of force against Yunyang.

Of course, there were also many people who took advantage of the situation. Around the New Year, Yunyang played a dominant role in the entire western part of Yongtian Kingdom. Except for Wanze Territory in the northwest, most of the territories were directly defeated by them.

Today, Yunyang is on par with those large territories that have developed for hundreds of years in terms of land, people, army, policies and technology. Naturally, many people hope to use this to strangle them forever.

Without Lid, the pressure fell on He Yue and others.

"Lord Yunyang can't be so selfish. He caused trouble himself, so he should solve it himself. What's the point of hiding in Nanchu?" "I thought Lord Yunyang was a young talent and must be responsible, but I didn't expect him to cause any trouble and only care about killing and not burying." "In any case, if the dragon clan goes south and the people suffer, the blame will be on Lord Yunyang."

"How could such a scum of the country appear in such misfortune?"

"How can you use the lives of my people to make up for the sins of just one person?"

These words were not spoken by ordinary people on the street, but by the lords of various territories. This represents the attitude of each territory towards Lid.

It also represents their attitude towards Yunyang

No one cared about the truth of the matter, they only cared about whether their immediate interests would be damaged. After judging that the dragon clan's attack would not benefit anyone, everyone rushed to act as the defender of justice, demanding an attack on Yunyang and using Yunyang's destruction as an apology to the dragon clan.

This is a farce involving all parties. As for how many people are truly participating in this farce and how many are pretending to be ignorant,

No one knows.

In the council hall, He Yue held his forehead, silently put a bright red cross at the end of the document in his hand, and put it aside. Yunyang has not been peaceful during this period, and a small number of Yunyang people want to hand over Lide. After all, Yunyang can run steadily even without Lide.

Of course, most people disagreed. The problem was that it was useless if only the people of Yunyang disagreed. Yunyang's economy depended largely on merchants from all over the world. Now that the merchants were cut off from going to Yunyang by their own territories, Yunyang's economy immediately began to decline visibly.

Finance Minister Griffa also expressed pessimism in his report:

"Whether or not we hand over the Lord, the people have agreed that Yunyang will suffer a heavy blow. Recently, many companies have seen disputes over their shares, and a lot of funds are fleeing Yunyang. This is a troublesome matter for us. If we can't stabilize the situation internally, it will cause incalculable losses."

Fang Shisan also briefly explained the situation:

"The worst outcome is to abandon the lands of Zhaochen and Tiancheng and retreat to our homeland." He Yue raised his head, looked at Shuang, and asked:

“Is it possible to suppress the speech?”

Frost shook his head:

"The prisons are full and we can't contain them. We tried our best to mediate, but this incident was so serious that it escalated into a nationwide discussion.

The dark part can’t handle it either.”

He Yue sighed, and after a moment, she smiled again and said:

"Back then in Yuxi City, a small isolated city was defended. The situation will not be worse than it was then. We will not hand over Lid,

Just like if today, the dragon clan

Even if it's anyone else from Yunyang, Lid won't hand him over. The sudden attack by the dragons at this time was totally unexpected, and the power they possessed was far beyond our ability to deal with. Many plans will be interrupted in the future... Everyone, work hard to get through this situation.

Fang Shisan and others nodded.

Each territory established its army very quickly, much faster than the previous coalition forces. After hundreds of thousands of troops were formed, they rushed towards Yunyang. At the same time, in Nanchu, Lid washed his cheeks with cold water. The dark circles under his eyes in the bronze mirror meant that he did not sleep well last night.

"Master."

Alayya handed over a towel, and Lid wiped it on his face, put it aside, and said to Alayya: "Alayya, pack up and get ready to go."

Alayya asked doubtfully:

"Master, where are we going?" Lid replied in a hoarse voice: "To the Dragon Clan."

Alaiya said "Oh", without any surprise or fear. She just stood beside her young master calmly, and went wherever the young master went. Although she didn't know why Lid made such a decision, as long as Lid opened his mouth, she would go all out.

Reed looked towards the sunshine outside. There were already signs of spring and blooming flowers in the south.

For Lid, the process of coming to this conclusion was not complicated. The dragons hated him, and he had no good feelings towards them. He remembered vividly how the dragons slaughtered 300,000 people in Tianyue Mountain and used their blood to destroy the national defense formation in the capital. At that time, let alone Ofland, even if the Dragon King himself came, Lid would have tried to kill him.

Now that the feud has been formed, retreating blindly will not solve the problem, but taking a step forward may not necessarily be a dead end.

What's more, Xihe is still in their hands. Lide still feels a little guilty about Xihe's affairs. After all, Xihe is not his subordinate and has no interest in him. He just helped Lide to investigate the situation of the dragon clan as a friend, but he disappeared from the world without a word.

Thinking of the attitude of the Abyss towards Xiaobai, Reed knew that she would definitely suffer some physical pain.

Xihe, who helped him investigate, suffered in the north, while he himself was hiding in Nanchu and living a carefree life. Lide couldn't accept such a life. Lide stretched and decided to tell Xiaohei about this matter. After all, Xiaohei had been under a lot of pressure recently. However, as soon as he stepped out of the door, he saw a servant from the lord's mansion coming up and said to him:

"There's someone outside who wants to see you."

Lid asked casually: "Who?"

The servant replied:

"I don't know, but he said that you would understand once you met him."

Lid walked out with a frown. Outside the manor, an ordinary carriage was parked there. A man in a cloak stood solemnly in front of the carriage, silently confronting the guards of the manor.

Until she saw Reed, the aura of that person dissipated a little. She walked towards Reed, silently took off the hood behind her, her white hair fluttering, and on her porcelain doll-like face, the pair of eyes like stars silently looked at Reed.

"You're not planning to go to the Dragon Clan, are you?"

The man opened his mouth and said in a low voice: "Come on, brother, follow me back to the rebel army."

25. Anyone who touches you will die, I, Huang Yan, said

After seeing Huang Yan, Li De pulled her into the alley without saying a word.

It's okay for others to show up in public, but it's too risky for her to do so. Although there are probably undercover rebels in and outside the city, it's still too risky for Huang Yan to come to Nanchu. Yunyang and Nanchu won't have any conflicts for a while, but the rebels are not far away from Xiqin and Nanchu, and there's no telling when they will fight.

To be on the safe side, Reed pulled Huang Yan to a less crowded place and put her hood back on.

When they reached a small alley, Lid asked:

"Why are you here? Are you planning to capture the main city of Nanchu, overthrow the Nanchu lord, and liberate the suffering people of Nanchu?" Huang Yan was stunned for a moment, and answered truthfully:

"We have no plans to fight Nan Chu for now. I'm here to find you."

Having said that, Huang Yan put one hand on the hilt of the knife at his waist and said in a bad tone:

"I've heard the recent discussions about you. They give whatever the dragons want. If one day the dragons want their heads, will they offer them with both hands? I, the rebel army, will not tolerate this. If we can't even protect our own brothers, what's the point of rebelling?"

Huang Yan looked at Lid and said:

"You don't have to worry about getting me into trouble. Our rebel army has been against all territories since the beginning. It's just right for you to come to us. Bring your friends in Yunyang with you. Together we can overthrow the Yongtian Kingdom and hold our destiny in our own hands. We don't have to care about what others think."

Lid smiled and said to her:

"You are unwilling to hand me over to the Dragon Clan." Huang Yan frowned and replied:

"Of course I don't want to. What's the dragon clan? We have gone through the heavenly tribulation." Lid nodded and said to her:

"Yes. If I were in control of the Eternal Kingdom today, I would not hand over anyone. But those people would, because their personal consciousness does not support them to consider the whole of humanity. In fact, it is also normal. Standing outside the bureau, we can see that the lips and teeth are cold and the rabbit dies and the fox mourns. This seems to be a very simple truth. But standing inside the bureau, from their perspective, cold teeth do not mean that all teeth fall out, and the fox can still live in the world with grief. To put it bluntly, the fire did not burn them, so they naturally don't care."

Li De looked at Huang Yan, his tone was icy but firm:

"I don't really care about their lives, but I'm also annoyed when someone threatens me with their lives. I want to live in peace.

But some people don't allow it. Then I will

They killed them and changed this world into one that allows me to live in peace."

After he finished speaking, Huang Yan looked at Lid steadily.

Reed's eyes are sharp now, and he seems like a different person compared to usual.

But if you think about it carefully, it seems that Li De has always been like this: his father and brother didn't want him to have an easy life, so Li De became the lord of Yunyang himself; the various territories joined forces to suppress Yunyang, and Li De turned the surrounding territories upside down; now that the dragon clan has set its sights on him, he plans to clean up the dragon clan as well.

Lid soon laughed again and jokingly said:

"And you see, isn't this good for everyone? Yunyang will be relieved of a lot of pressure, Nanchu won't have to suffer criticism for me, I will gain a reputation as a hero, and those people who were going to die under the claws of the dragons will be able to live a few more years."

Huang Yan didn't smile. She looked at Li De, took a step forward, and put one hand on the wall beside his ear, closing the distance between them. Li De was stunned for a moment before he realized that he was being pushed against the wall!

Huang Yan's eyes, as bright as the stars, were close at hand, and her breath gently touched Lid's nose and lips. Huang Yan spoke word by word:

"If what you mean by heroism is to make capable people give more, then what is the difference between that and the decay that I am tired of?" "I don't want to hear you talk about these principles. It was your idea to go to the Dragon Clan, and I, Huang Yan, will not agree!"

"Today, even if I have to tie you up, I will take you back to the rebel army—"

After saying that, without waiting for Reed's response, she stretched out her hand and prepared to chop Reed's neck.

Lid blocked the attack, but perhaps because he used too much force, the wound on his hand burst open again, and blood kept flowing.

He still smiled and said to Huang Yan:

"You tied me back to the rebels, but you only got my body. My heart still yearns for freedom." Huang Yan looked at him without saying a word.

Lidd added:

"Your best option is to go back to the rebels. If I die, you will overthrow the Yongtian Kingdom, develop for a few decades, gather all your strength, and help me get this place back. I can't go back to the rebels with you, and you can't go to the Dragon Clan with me. People should look far ahead."

Huang Yan then sighed, took a step back, and asked:

"Have you decided?"

Reed nodded.

Huang Yan drew out his knife and casually stuck it into the ground between the two of them, saying in a cold tone:

"Okay. Huaiwang Territory, Qiming Territory, Zhaoxin Territory, Hualiang Territory, Xilan Territory...form a coalition to threaten Yunyang's territory, or use various channels to ask Nanchu to hand over your territory. I remember every one of them."

"If anything happens to you, all the lords, princes, nobles and other people in these territories will die."

"I don't care if they are vicious or just following the crowd. I don't care what they think. I only know that if anyone touches my brothers, I, Huang Yan, will one day make sure that no one is left but their bodies."

The bloody murderous aura in her body could hardly be suppressed, and the aura of the Son of Tianyan was fully revealed at this moment.

At the same time, on the plain south of Luofeng Mountain.

Lord Lingwu rode his horse along the country road. Spring was in the air and there was a faint scent of flowers in the wind.

The scenery in front of her was familiar yet strange to the Lingwu Lord. She had been staying in the bitter cold Lingwu for hundreds of years. The spring there was no different from the cold winter, except that there were fewer snows. It was still just as cold, and just as bleak and uneasy.

Lord Lingwu found it ridiculous when he thought that the Ji family had owned this vast land for hundreds of years but had done nothing.

The wind blew the golden hairpins on her head, and the Lingwu Lord stopped his horse, stepped on the newly grown green grass, and watched an insect struggling on the dew. The black insect was carried down by the dew, but it still clung to the grass with its two slender legs, desperately trying not to fall.

Lord Lingwu looked away slightly, and after a long time, he let out a faint sigh.

There was the sound of horse hooves behind her, and several generals dismounted, saluted, and asked: "Your Majesty, the soldiers have rested and are ready to continue marching at any time."

The Lingwu Lord was silent for a moment, then he opened his mouth and said with dignity: "You should have heard about the Dragon Clan."
