The Bad Leader was also caught in the rain and he began to cough. He lifted a corner of his clothes to check his physical condition. He realized something, but so far he was the only one who showed abnormalities.

This was probably due to his physical condition. His body had decayed after hundreds of years, so the Bad Commander left quickly.

He left without even saying hello to anyone or making a sound.

Lin Yu didn't know when Buliang Shuai left, but now that he was gone, the shadow that had always been lingering in his heart naturally disappeared.

Bai Wuchang was silently collecting the body of her brother.

"Two conditions have been met, and the only thing left is the Tongwen Pavilion."

King Qi walked up to Lin Yu.

"Yes, you are getting closer and closer to what you want."

Lin Yu said softly.

"Maybe. I'll go first."

The leaving that King Qi mentioned was not really leaving. He would still be in Qi, just in a place where he would not be discovered.

"You mean, you have no intention of meeting the Empress at all."

"If possible, I hope there will be such a day, but it will definitely not be now."

King Qi then left.

Lin Yu returned to King Qi's residence. Before, he was brought here and was said to be King Qi's personal bodyguard. This title was once used as a proof of his authority to travel the world.

But such a long time has passed and King Qi has only shown up a few times, and the huge mansion is almost entirely enjoyed by Lin Yu.

Li Xingyun is still here.

Originally, Lin Yu arranged him here and didn't care about him anymore, so Li Xingyun was also free. Even if a lot of things had happened before, it seemed that in Li Xingyun's eyes, it was just that.

He didn't even think about going to take a look.

He knew nothing about the outside world. When Lin Yu came back, he was even lying on the bed drinking.

"What are your plans next?"

Lin Yu said softly.

"I'm leaving Qi Country, maybe going to a place far away. You may not be able to find me for a long time."

Li Xingyun said.

"Don't be silly. If anything happens to you, I will have to save you."

"Of course, the bad commander has to save you. Your life is precious."

Lin Yu just thought that Li Xingyun was drunk.

He sounded nonchalant, as if he was about to make some big move.

But Li Xingyun is still too young, he has experienced too little, and he only knows a little about the world.

It was even the first time for him to learn about things outside Jianlu, but he was not satisfied with his current situation, so he urgently wanted to change his life.

Li Xingyun thought he could do more things without external help, but there were many people who didn't want him to have any accidents.

Even Lin Yu himself.

For this world, Li Xingyun is the protagonist of this world. If he dies, it will be a huge trouble.

"It seems that you really regard me as a friend."

Li Xingyun was stunned at first, then smiled gently.

"Maybe so."

Lin Yu also smiled.

"So what about Lu Linxuan, your noisy junior sister?"

"I have asked the Empress for help. She will stay in Huanyinfang for a while and decide according to her own wishes if she eventually likes this place."

"Then she will be accepted by Huanyinfang. When I proposed this to the Empress, she agreed."

Li Xingyun said.

Lin Yu couldn't help but think of Lu Linxuan staying in Huanyinfang, maybe playing an instrument that she was not very good at and dancing a dance that was completely different from her temperament.

Lin Yu couldn't help but worry about the future of Huanyinfang.

However, since Li Xingyun has made his decision, there is no need for Lin Yu to interfere.

What's more, to be honest, the person who was troubled by this matter was not Lin Yu but the empress.

Bai Wuchang also came back after dealing with Hei Wuchang's affairs. She had sorted out her inner emotions.

But her condition was actually a little haggard, but she finally came back and obeyed Lin Yu's orders.

She stood at the door of the mansion, guarding the door according to the orders Lin Yu gave her at the beginning.

Although she tried her best to hide it, everyone could see that Bai Wuchang was not in a good mood.

Lin Yu slowly walked in front of Bai Wuchang.

"Owner."

Bai Wuchang knelt down.

When facing Lin Yu, kneeling down has become a normal thing for her, and she can even perform a series of actions directly.

"you're free."

Lin Yu said lightly.

"Is it because of my brother?"

Bai Wuchang was stunned at first, then couldn't help but ask.

"No, Hei Wuchang is dead. You have already shouldered all the responsibilities and sins you had to bear. You no longer need to atone for your sins. Now it is only natural that I will give you your freedom."

Lin Yu just shook his head.

"I...have nowhere to go."

Bai Wuchang was silent for a long time, and it was almost when Lin Yu turned around that Bai Wuchang said this.

"Go see the outside world, travel around, learn something. You can even go to Huanyinfang to see if they will accept you."

Lin Yu gave several suggestions.

He took out some money from his pocket and put it in Bai Wuchang's hand.

"This money is enough for you to live for a long time. Remember not to use your force to hurt anyone."

"If there is really no place to go and you really can't think of any, then go to Huanyinfang. As long as you are willing to endure the hardship, it shouldn't be a problem if you report my name when the time comes."

Lin Yu said again.

Lin Yu felt that if Huanyinfang could accept Lu Linxuan, then it would most likely be able to accept Bai Wuchang as well.

At least when it comes to Bai Wuchang's learning skills, Lu Linxuan is more acceptable to him.

Bai Wuchang held the money and froze in place.

"You can leave now. I order you to leave."

Lin Yu waved to Bai Wuchang, and then Bai Wuchang started to move forward, looking back every time she took a step forward.

As if waiting for Lin Yu to speak again, Bai Wuchang hoped that Lin Yu would speak again and say that he hoped she could stay.

But Lin Yu didn't. Even when Bai Wuchang walked to the door of the mansion, Lin Yu had no intention of speaking.

After seeing off Bai Wuchang, Li Xingyun also left the next day.

Li Xingyun's departure was silent and without any sound. When Lin Yu opened his eyes and woke up, he saw that Li Xingyun had already put away the bedding.

He didn't even leave a letter, so he probably didn't notify Lu Linxuan either.

The huge mansion eventually became Lin Yu's territory, just like when he first came here. But on the third day, Xuan Jingtian and Miao Chengtian came, and they hoped to accompany Lin Yu like before.

He even prepared bedding for her and said he wanted to move in together. Lin Yu didn't mind, as it would be a good companion anyway.

A person who can adapt to loneliness, but if there are many people around, Lin Yu will not feel resistance.

However, this matter was ultimately not implemented because the empress came.

She forcibly stopped the two girls from moving in, and simply used her eyes to force them to give up the idea.

Therefore, Xuan Jingtian and Miao Chengtian could only come to Lin Yu on weekdays when there was nothing to do.

But such peaceful days did not last long, because problems began to arise slowly within the country of Qi.

At first, it was just a decrease in grain production, followed by a long period of heavy rain, and fewer and fewer people on the road.

The number of corpses increased, perhaps due to starvation, disease, or even fighting.

At the beginning, the statistics were still possible, but bad things happened every day.

All the available manpower in Qi State has been mobilized, including Huanyinfang.

Wild thoughts abounded, panic spread faster than the plague, and the temples were always full of people kneeling.

Lin Yu stood on the roof of the mansion, looking at the grass and trees in the territory of Qi State, and suddenly remembered the black rain that fell on the day when the extraterritorial demon died.

Perhaps all of this is the final revenge of the extraterritorial demon.

Lin Yu realized that he had to do something, so he went to Huanyinfang. Now Huanyinfang no longer had the same staff as at the beginning.

No one could be seen in the main hall of Huanyinfang.

Lin Yu could only bypass the hall and go to the empress's room. He tried knocking on the door several times, but got no response. When Lin Yu wanted to turn around and leave.

The empress's weak voice was heard from inside the room.

Lin Yu pushed open the door and saw that the empress had already put on her clothes. She sat down in front of the chair and poured herself some hot tea while coughing.

But she looked weak and her hands were shaking even when she was pouring tea.

"Are you sick too?"

Lin Yu couldn't help but ask.

"It started a few days ago. I didn't take it seriously at first, but now it seems to have had a huge impact. But the only thing I can be thankful for is that I'm still alive."

The empress tried her best to look like nothing was wrong with her, but her face turned pale when she smiled.

"This shouldn't be a plague. It could be some kind of curse, similar to the counterattack of the extraterritorial demon before his death. If he has brought down such a curse on the entire world."

"Then maybe changing places is the best option."

Lin Yu proposed the idea of ​​moving the capital.

But this is just Lin Yu's guess, and there is no way to verify its authenticity for the time being. Such a situation has never occurred among the extraterritorial demons that Lin Yu has fought.

However, if you never try to do something, the problem will only get bigger and bigger.

Too many people will die. By the time all the people in Qi State are dead, Qi State will no longer exist.

"If we make a decision before the problem escalates, there may still be a chance, but now the chance is actually very small."

The Empress said softly.

“But actually from the time it appeared to now, everything has happened so fast.”

The empress said again.

"What do you mean, the chance is already very small."

Lin Yu keenly perceived the meaning of the empress's words.

Perhaps beyond the widespread destruction of disease and industry, there are things that go unnoticed.

"The emperor of Daliang is now Zhu Youzhen. After the death of Emperor Ming of Xuanming Sect, Zhu Youzhen fought fiercely with the State of Jin."

"Their territory is large, and they are the ones who started most of the battles. But now, they are not fighting anymore, and Qi Country is in danger."

The Empress said.

"Indeed, if they don't fight, it's hard to suspect they'll be doing something behind the scenes."

Lin Yu deeply agreed with this.

But the empress's expression remained unmoved, and Lin Yu vaguely guessed something.

"not……"

Lin Yu hesitated to speak.

"Qiguo is now a piece of meat at my fingertips. It would be a waste if I don't eat it."

The empress blinked.

"When problems started to arise in Qi a few days ago, the armies of Jin and Daliang had already set out, and now, their armies have surrounded the entire Qi."

"If we can't send letters, our baggage will get smaller and smaller, and eventually the food will be exhausted."

The empress said again.

"It's like it was planned all along."

"But if the demons from outside the realm have cast a curse here, then it will be useless for them to come to Qi Country. They will suffer together when they come in."

Lin Yu was silent for a moment.

"To be honest, I don't know. I want to find out, but judging from my current condition, I may not even have the strength to leave the city."

"I didn't tell anyone about the impending war to avoid panic, but I couldn't keep it a secret for too long."

The empress sighed.

Her eyes were fixed on Lin Yu.
If eyes could speak, then the empress's eyes would most likely be filled with pleading.

"Don't worry, I won't leave. I will try to save you."

Lin Yu said softly.

"No, what I mean is that Qi will fight to the death. At that time, there is only a fight to the death, but the revival of Qi needs a spark, and I hope you can be that spark."

"I won't restrict you, but I just hope that one day in the future, you can take back Qi, even if you become the new King of Qi."

The Empress said.

"What a joke, King Qi is still alive."

Lin Yu refused almost without hesitation.

"Is he still alive? I'm not so sure. There are things my brother can't do, and he's a very serious person."

"He is not used to playing political games, nor is he smooth. When I was young, I admired my brother very much, but since he took control of Qi State."

"I actually think my brother is not the best choice to be king."

The empress shrugged her nose.

Lin Yu remained silent because he had no way to answer this question. Lin Yu could not bear such a heavy responsibility.

The empress thought that he could be the king of Qi, but in fact, Lin Yu had no interest in becoming the king of Qi, and Lin Yu had never thought about shouldering such a responsibility.

One day Lin Yu will leave, and at that time he will deal with all the extraterritorial demons in this world.

Then it was as if nothing had happened in this world, and everyone was doing what they had done before.

"Things will always turn around."

But the silence lasted too long, and the atmosphere suddenly became a little awkward. Lin Yu tried to comfort the empress.

"Indeed, Li Keyong sent someone to deliver a letter yesterday, saying that he wanted to bring the three parties together for a negotiation."

The empress took out a piece of paper from the bedside and handed it to Lin Yu. (End of this chapter)
