"Thank you for your help!"

Finally, under the guidance of Lao Kai, everyone sent out the last thought.

Qiu Yan's thought, which was in line with the five orders, responded: "No need to thank you, this is what you deserve. If you want to thank you, it should be Qiu who thanks you."

After the thought fell, the heroic spirit left.

The past is gone, the new is coming, and what they did in this life will make them rich and healthy in the next life, but the harvest is not just the next life.

In the future, the "Northern Frontier Records" will be spread, and the thoughts of all living beings will make their luck grow more and more. Of course, these things do not necessarily have to wait until the next life, but only when everyone dies, there is such an arrangement. If there is still life, there will naturally be retribution.

Life is in the world, and there will be retribution in the end.

As the heroic spirit entered the river, the five human orders connected to it were separated from it again. The difference was that with the heroic spirit's ascension, reincarnation, and a little bit of the water of the Forgotten River, these human orders were stained with a lot of the breath of the underworld. Some of them showed signs of change, as if they were about to merge with the river water, and even had a tendency to spread to the underworld.

The underworld was blank, just like a blank sheet of paper, and it was easy to dye this world with its own color.

This was a temptation, enough to make the great scholar excited.

However, Qiu Yan did not waver at all. When he fought with Lu Liang, the three bodies were linked together, and he invaded the underworld with humanity, causing Lu Liang to suffer heavy damage, but was finally dispersed by the giant hand that stretched out from the Forgotten River.

Now, the old trick was used again, and the giant hand had already appeared, but it was entangled by cause and effect. But Qiu Yan would not think that everything would be fine, and he was still cautious.

This time. He sent the heroic spirit to reincarnation, and collected information about the interaction between the underworld and humanity. For him, it was enough and an unexpected gain.

Therefore, as soon as the five orders appeared, they immediately returned to the seal, and the seal turned and left the underworld.

Almost at the same time as the seal disappeared. The river water churned, and the gurgling memory turned into steam, flowing over, emitting a plague breath, covering the place where the seal was, but there was nothing there.

"You ran fast, which is considered sensible. The starry sky is boundless, but I don't have the mind to explore and investigate one by one, so it's fine. The most urgent thing is to be alert at all times. After all, someone wants to impact that realm, and it's not the time to be distracted..."

In the river. The grand consciousness flows, and the river water that impacted the past in the depths of the sky also "whoosh" and fell down at this time, like a rainstorm. The causal lines that are everywhere have been hidden again.

………………

"This time we sent off the heroic spirit. There were many unexpected gains."

In the Yang world, Qiu Yan and Meng Qingluo left the tent. There were people in charge of the aftermath, so he didn't need to worry about it. But while walking, Qiu Yan was recalling the scene of the underworld captured by the human order.

"That giant hand appeared once when I was fighting with Lu Liang. Although it reappeared this time, it was amazing, but it was not a surprise. What is the origin of the giant that appeared at the same time as the causal line? What kind of existence is hidden in the Forgetful River?"

Thinking of this, he thought about it, and the seal of return appeared in the heart fire. After disintegrating, it split into order again, turned into invisible, and returned to heaven and earth, but it still left a little weird breath, ethereal and heavy, as if there was something.

This breath is the change caused by the combination of order and the breath of the underworld.

Feeling the breath, Qiu Yan felt familiar. When he fought with Lu Liang, the giant hand attacked. When it finally dispersed, it left a little black air, which was detained by Qiu Yan. He also explored it. The artistic conception in it was similar to these strange breaths.

"Is there a derivative relationship between the two? I got the black air myself and used it, but I couldn't comprehend the fundamentals. If I can start from this strange breath, maybe I can open the mystery inside and find out the truth."

Thinking about it, he gradually sank into his mind and no longer cared about the things around him.

Beside him, Meng Qingluo followed with a smile, but there was doubt in his eyes that he couldn't hide. What Qiu Yan did in the tent made him quite puzzled. However, after following for nearly two months, he had gone from being skeptical at the beginning to believing in Qiu Yan's ability now, so he didn't ask.

In fact, as a child of the Meng family, Meng Qingluo and Meng Qingbin are of different ages, but they are of the same generation. He is Meng Qingbin's cousin and is also a person that the Meng family is going to work hard to cultivate. This time, he came to Qiu Yan's army, and he also made many arrangements, and Meng Qingbin secretly helped to promote it, which shows that he is valued.

After the mission to Sanshui, the Meng family was particularly concerned about Qiu Yan and regarded him as a potential ally. Meng Qingluo came here to scout ahead.

He still remembered that before he was about to leave, his cousin Meng Qingbin found him and asked him not to be impulsive, to observe more and ask less, to contact Qiu Yan, and to try to learn some skills from him.

In the past two months, Meng Qingluo has practiced this and has benefited a lot. Even if he has some questions, Qiu Yan will patiently answer them when he asks them. He explains in simple terms and makes his knowledge more profound, which has improved his knowledge.

In this way, Meng Qingluo's impression of Qiu Yan has changed again and again, from coming here at the beginning to respecting him more and more later.

In fact, after Qiu Yan won the top spot in the imperial examination, he entered the Hanlin Military Academy. He usually stayed at home and rarely socialized with other people in the officialdom. Others only knew that there was such a person, but did not know his specific personality. Occasionally, they would even say that he was aloof.

When he went to Sanshui, he gathered classics, made ingenious plans, and pressured Sanshui. Finally, he liberated slaves and defeated various tribes. This series of events really made the court officials dazzled. They inadvertently drew their own impressions of Qiu Yan. Most of them regarded him as a lonely and unapproachable military strategist.

When he first came, Meng Qingluo actually had such an impression in his heart, and it was not until later that he gradually changed his mind.

"There are still some young officials in the court who are secretly jealous of Qiu Yan. They think that he is outstanding in military strategy, but not in other aspects. They are waiting for him to show something after he returns. Now it seems that they can only humiliate themselves."

Thinking of this, he thought of the students in Sanjin who were waiting to "ask Qiu Yan for advice". Most of them were invited by the Meng family. The purpose was to create a momentum and express goodwill, which was also a way to please them.

According to the Meng family, they would let Qiu Yan give a lecture for two days. Even if the content was useless, they would make those people look like they had gained a lot.

In fact, the Meng family had heard about Qiu Yan's teaching in Dongdu, but hearing is not as good as seeing. A family like them would not do anything they were not sure about. Since they wanted to be friendly with Qiu Yan, they could not be careless.

"I don't know what the lecture would look like..."

With this thought, Meng Qingluo devoted himself to the finishing work in the next few days.

Although Qiu Yan had plans to return to the Middle Earth, he had an army under his command. It was impossible for him to leave at any time, otherwise the team would completely collapse. However, it was not difficult to start from the beginning.

The first thing was to return, and then hand over the army. Qiu Yan had already communicated and made countermeasures with Shi Gong of the Governor's Office. There were generals to take over. What Qiu Yan had to do was to bring the team to the northern border of Darui.

Just at this time, the imperial edict came, ordering Qiu Yan to return to Beijing to receive the reward. As for Ran Lian, Fu Yong and others, they were also mentioned, but they were not allowed to enter Beijing, saying that they were in the midst of state affairs and had other important tasks. However, in the imperial edict, they were all granted official positions, which not only did not disrupt the military spirit, but also improved the morale.

The court also made a decision on the arrangement of Shi Jin and others. The ministers in the court did not agree to let them enter the pass, so after some discussion, it was decided to let them settle in the northern border as vassal states and set up accounts.

Shi Jin and others were very happy about this result. No matter where they went, they could not be as comfortable as being on the grassland. Of course, out of courtesy, Shi Jin still came to ask Qiu Yan's opinion, but the latter did not say a word about it.

In the hustle and bustle, the team had already approached the northern border, but at the last moment, there was another accident. It was a team of people rushing over. I think they heard the news and ambushed here to intercept and kill.

However, although the incident happened suddenly, Qiu Yan had a plan in advance. The team did not gain any advantage, but suffered heavy losses. However, Qiu Yan's team also changed the route according to the plan.

Because the appearance of this team of people was just a precursor. In Qiu Yan's calculation, once the news leaked, the entire road back to the south would not be peaceful. In order to save trouble, it was most ideal to change direction directly.

In this way, they had originally planned to enter the pass from Yanmen, but had to turn east and enter the Central Plains through Hebei Road.

After changing the route, it was indeed peaceful all the way. The group arrived at the frontier military town without any danger. The generals who had received the news were waiting there. According to the decree of the Privy Council, they handed over the military power to Qiu Yan.

Qiu Yan did not hesitate at all. He knew that when handing over the military power, his every move, every word, and even an expression and eyes would be specially recorded and passed back. Being decisive could avoid complications.

Military power has been a sensitive topic since ancient times. When I was in the grassland, no matter what I did, it would not affect the heartland of the Central Plains. But once I entered the pass, things were no longer simple. For a civil official, clinging to military power, without sufficient power and reputation, is definitely not a good thing, and will bring disaster.

After handing over the military power, saying goodbye to Ran Lian and others, and entrusting them with a few words, Qiu Yan gave each of them a brocade bag, telling them that they could only open it when their lives were at stake, and then he left gracefully.

Then, the people of the Meng family came to accompany him and drove him to the capital. However, he had to pass through the Three Jins on the way, so the arrangements of the Meng family would not be in vain.

However, when he entered Hebei Road, what he saw and heard along the way changed Qiu Yan's mood.

Hebei has been suffering from drought for three years!

It's devastated!
