I have become immortal, Taoist friends still need to be diligent

After several months of traveling to the Song Dynasty. Li Mu finally returned to Li's house with Li Yaya and others.

Li Mu never went out again because the four elders were all very old, in their seventies. Li Mu wanted to spend more time with them.

In the first year, Li Mu began to be responsible for making weapons, assisted by Li Dachui and several descendants of the Li family. Li Mu is responsible for making high-grade weapons, and Li Dachui is responsible for making mid-grade weapons.

Li Daniu is in charge of the medical center and medicine garden, which has expanded to one thousand acres. In five years and ten years, the medicinal herbs on the mountain have also been expanded to ten acres.

Li Tiehua is responsible for the affairs of the martial arts school and manages the entire Li Mansion part-time. Because the Li family has merged with the Earl's Mansion. And there are a large number of martial arts disciples serving in the Li family's private army.

Li Yaya, the younger generation, is responsible for leading the Li family's private troops to handle the affairs of the entire Huangyuan Town. In the town, all official soldiers and police officers are now appointed by the Li family.

Li Yaya temporarily acts as the mayor of Huangyuan Town.

the second year.

Black Whirlwind died and died, and Li Mu buried him himself.

For this old friend who has been with him for decades, Li Mu even gave him a good coffin.

The tombstone reads: Tomb of Li's Black Whirlwind.

The third year.

Li Dazhuang passed away, and Li Mu became somewhat taciturn from then on.

Except when talking to his family, Li Mu is indifferent to other people.

This year Liu He also moved to Xiaohe Village. He handed over his position as gang leader and planned to spend his twilight years with Li Mu, his good friend.

Since Liu He came, he has gradually spoken more and more to each of me.

fourth year.

The days were very ordinary, and the emperor passed away.

It is said that it was passed on to the emperor's youngest son, and there was no disturbance. Presumably the emperor also learned from the last lesson and became more vigilant.

fifth year.

Wang Lanhua passed away. Li Mu sat on the grave for a month, planting many flowers, and was finally dragged back to the Li family by Li Daniu and others.

sixth year.

Li Erzhuang and Bai Jiao passed away one after another.

Li Mu forged a high-grade sword for each of them and placed it in their graves, hoping that they would be able to do chivalry and get married together in the next life.

Seventh year.

……

The tenth year.

Li Mu is sixty-three years old and has become the oldest and senior member of the Li family.

After ten years of training, Li Mu has entered the middle stage of the Xiantian Grand Master.

After years of development, the Li family has become a famous family in Anxi Prefecture.

"Grandpa, I heard from people in the world that the Tang State took advantage of the turmoil in the Song Dynasty and annexed half of the state in the Song Dynasty."

"Is this the reason why the Song Dynasty sent troops to attack the Tang Dynasty this time?"

In the blacksmith shop, a descendant of the Li family looked at Li Mu and asked.

"Does it matter whether it is yes or no?"

Li Mu smiled slightly and said to the younger generation of the Li family.

"Ok?"

The younger generations of the Li family are a little confused.

Speaking of which, the Tang State was also bold. A few years ago, taking advantage of the civil strife in the Song Dynasty, they actually directly annexed several states in the Song Dynasty. The population exceeded 10 million in one fell swoop.

After all, including the territory of the Wei Dynasty that it invaded and the territory it originally had, the Tang State is equivalent to a country with the area of ​​two states of the Wei Dynasty. The population has reached more than 10 million. It can be considered the fifth most powerful country in the world.

Li Mu was filled with emotion. After ten years of war, the Song Dynasty finally managed to unify the original territory, except for half of the state occupied by the Tang State.

In recent months, the Song Dynasty has sent 200,000 troops straight to the front line. Anyone with a discerning eye will know at a glance that they intend to take back their homeland. I just don’t know if Tang State can handle it.

If we can hold it back, we will become the fifth largest country worthy of the name. If I can't bear it anymore, I'll go back to before liberation overnight. If it fails, the country will be destroyed.

The next day, Li Mugang came back from a tour of the village.

I saw many refugees coming to Xiaohe Village.

"what's up?"

Li Mu asked looking at Li Yaya who had become the Li family's family member.

"Uncle, I heard that the Song Dynasty and the Tang Dynasty on the front line formed an alliance and suddenly attacked the Wei Dynasty by surprise."

"It led to a complete collapse of the front line in less than a month. Five counties were directly lost."

"These refugees are all the people of the Wei Dynasty over there. Their hometown was affected by the war, so they had to go to other places."

Li Yaya said sadly.

"Oh?"

Li Mu was a little surprised. Unexpectedly, the Song Dynasty and the Tang Dynasty could put aside their years of hatred. They actually joined forces to attack Wei and got such great benefits.

"I used part of my family's food reserves to help them."

Li Mu thought for a while and said.

"Yes."

Li Yaya then nodded in response.

Fortunately, the Li family has prepared to store the entire town's food supply for three years. Even if you take out two years' worth of food, you'll still have one year's worth of food in reserve. It is completely enough for the refugees who came to Huangyuan Town to eat.

Another month has passed, and I heard that the front line is still retreating.

Li Mu was a little surprised. He remembered that the generals of the Wei Dynasty were all familiar with the "Martial Classics", so they should not have been defeated so completely.

But within a few days, the imperial edict arrived. Answered Li Mu’s question.

"The emperor's edict is to carry out the destiny..."

After listening to the imperial edict, Li Mu learned that the Song and Tang dynasties had sent more than 20 grandmasters, and it was only two innate grandmasters who had defeated the Wei front line.

These grandmasters from the two countries could be considered as the majority of the power that the imperial court could mobilize, and Wei Dynasty also mobilized fifteen or six grandmasters to prepare to intercept. Wei could have recruited more masters. But there is also Wu Dayan, who has to reserve grandmasters on the front line, so only fifteen or six grandmasters can be transferred to the northwest border.

But because they didn't have the advantage in terms of numbers and strength, they recruited Li Mu, the innate grandmaster who became famous ten years ago.

"The minister accepts the order."

Li Mu did not refuse. Since he is a minister, he enjoys the convenience, benefits and honor brought by his status and title.

Naturally, he has the obligation to fight for his country, and Li Mu is confident that he is not afraid of anyone now.

Then Li Mu followed one person and one horse. On the way to the front line.

There was no reason for anyone else to follow. It's because the front line has now evolved into a battle of masters, and even a battle of innate masters. Ordinary warriors didn't have much effect in the past.

The emperor also gave him a token to act cheaply. Among the many masters, he is headed by Li Mu. It wasn't that the emperor trusted Li Mu more, but that Li Mu was the strongest among them. The only innate master.

Moreover, Li Mu once wrote the "Martial Classics" and protected the late emperor. He was capable, so the emperor naturally thought that Li Mu was the best candidate.

"Driving~"

There was a puff of dust. Li Mu rode a red rabbit and galloped towards the currently tentative defensive city of Pondangguan City.

Tangguan City was a former military fortress, but the territory of the Wei Dynasty crossed Tangguan City for more than two hundred years, and the city's defenses had long been ruined.

Although after a short period of rescue repair. Barely able to see. But the practicality is hard to say.

But it is already within a radius of hundreds of miles. The best defensive city. This place is also where the soldiers who fled on the front line gather, and it is also where the strong ones above the Grand Masters such as Li Mu gather.

This city has become the center of confrontation between the two forces by default.

After this battle, no matter who wins or loses, Tangguan City will be famous all over the world.
