When Li Mu discovered that three previous generation royal families of the Xiao family were expelled from the ancestral temple, he knew that the queen was serious.

So in the very long days in the future, Li Mu only needs to do one thing to help the Queen govern the Great Zhou, ensure that the Great Zhou is stable internally, there are no strong enemies outside, and that the people's minds can always maintain or continue to grow.

It's not for anyone, but for himself, for the people he loves.

In the Secretariat, Liu Yi asked someone to send a bunch of memorials to Li Mu's yamen room, leaning against a chair, and breathing a sigh of relief.

The familiar Lord Li finally came back.

In the yamen room, Li Mu sat behind the table, looked at the two folds placed in front of him, frowned, and slowly tapped the table with his index finger.

In the past period of time, the Great Zhou faced the biggest threat in the demon country and had no time to take care of anything else. Whether it was Shen State taking advantage of the chaos to provoke a fight at the borders of the two countries, or the sharp reduction of the people of Nanjun, it did not attract too much attention from the court.

Now that the rebellion of the Demon Kingdom is tentative, the imperial court and the Thousand Fox Kingdom are inseparable, these two things need to be taken to the front.

These seem to be two things, but they are actually just one.

Since the last time the tribute and the Great Zhou Dynasty fell apart, Shen State has been uneasy. It has banned merchants from entering the country and destroyed the Great Zhou goods. The domestic anti-Zhou sentiment is serious and it has repeatedly disrupted the border. Nanjun borders Shen State, and the people's minds are greatly affected.

Li Muxian asked the queen to go to the ancestral temple to check the Mind Power Cauldron in Nanjun.

But the queen took Liu Hanyan, Li Qing and Zhong Ling to a spring outing outside the city. She was not in Changle Palace, so Li Mu was allowed to take care of it.

This time she went on a trip, she did not take Lord Mei and Shangguan Li, so Li Mu asked them to accompany him to the ancestral temple. The ancestral temple is a major place in the Great Zhou Dynasty, and it is the place where the imperial spirit is nurtured, which is related to the future of a country. The Xiao family lost the throne because they were not optimistic about the imperial spirit. In order to avoid suspicion, Li Mu could not go there alone.

Li Mu had not told them that the Queen planned to give them one emperor's aura in the future. Zhou Wu was like this. She was enlightened by one person, and she could ascend to heaven, and she wanted to give all the good things to the people around her.

In the ancestral temple, the three old men were no longer there, and even the futon queen on the ground was thrown away.

In the big tripod in the center of the ancestral temple, the golden dragon wandered, and Li Mu looked at the thirty-six small tripods. The brightness of these small tripods was different, but except for the Shendu, the gap between the other small tripods was not too big, but one of them was extremely dim.

Li Mu walked forward and saw the word "nan" on the tripod.

After visiting the ancestral temple, Li Mu confirmed that something had indeed happened in Nanjun. He then went to the worship office and sent several fifth-level priests to Nanjun to investigate and deal with the matter.

When they left the palace and returned home, Liu Hanyan and the Queen had already returned from the trip.

There were too many complaints I had dealt with in the past two days. He leaned on the stone chair in the yard to rest, and when he was relaxing, he quickly fell asleep.

Wanwan was helping Liu Hanyan wash vegetables, and looked back at Li Mu and said, "Son-in-law must have dreamed of something good. Miss, look at how happy he smiles."

Liu Hanyan remembered what happened last night and her face turned red and she said, "I must be thinking about something unreasonable again."

Zhou Wu walked to Li Mu and sat down, her hand hidden in her sleeve, and secretly pinched a seal.

Li Mu has never been as happy as last night in his two lives, which led to him reminiscing about it once in his dream. After waking up from the dream, he opened his eyes and saw the queen sitting opposite him, with a faint pink on his face.

Li Mu asked in confusion: "What's wrong with Your Majesty?"

Zhou Wu stood up and said, "No, nothing."

Li Mu watched her leave as if she ran away and said speechlessly: "It's strange, inexplicable..."

Because of his trick last night, Liu Hanyan and Li Qing did not let Li Mu enter the room tonight. He slept alone in the study and thought about the problem of cultivation.

The last trip to Dongjun made him realize one of his weaknesses.

With his cultivation level, he was no longer afraid of the sixth realm, whether on land or in the air, but in the water, the strength he could exert was greatly reduced, and it took a lot of effort to deal with Ao Run.

This is not Li Mu's weakness. Humans are not as good as the aquatic race in the water. Except for a few amphibious demons, only the dragon race can do both land and water warfare.

When the worship officials encounter aquariums, they usually have no choice but to pump water.

Although Ao Run is now available, it is not realistic to let him deal with it every time. Li Mu searched in his mind and found a pill called the Water-avoiding Pill.

It is said to be a elixir, but it is actually a magic weapon, which is made up of the essence and blood of the aquarium. It is kept in the mouth by ordinary people and will not drown when encountering water. The practitioners carry it with them, which has a certain water-retardation effect and reduces the weakening of their strength when fighting in the water.

With a waterproof pill on his body, human practitioners can exert 70% to 80% of their strength in the water.

It is said that if you can swallow an inner alchemy of the Dragon Clan, you can have the ability of the Aquarius in the water. Not only will the mana power not be weakened, but it will also increase significantly. You may even restrain low-level aquarius. This is the most ideal water-avoiding magic weapon.

However, the dragon clan is generally not seen on the mainland, let alone obtain an inner elixir of the dragon clan. It is better to get some essence and blood from Ao Run, refine some water-avoiding pills, and distribute them to the officials of each county for them to prepare. Next time they encounter aquariums in chaos, they can deal with it themselves without asking for help from Shendu.

This was originally what the queen should have done, and Li Mu would be completely fond of her in the future.

This time he didn't plan to call Ao Run over. This evil dragon was too verbal, so he would rather go to him personally to rest assured.

If he talks too much about Tingxin's joke, Li Mu will have to try to explain to them.

Zhongjun, some lake.

Li Mu was floating above the lake, and Ao Run begging for mercy came from the bottom of the lake: "Master, I was wrong, I will never talk much again. Don't worry, I will never tell my mistress about you raising two snakes outside!"

Li Mu said lightly: "I'm not here to settle the score with you. I'm useful to give me some of your essence and blood."

Ao Run hesitated for a while and said, "The second one is OK, the first one... Can you wait for tomorrow and be gone today..."

...

Li Mu drew a bucket of dragon blood from Ao Run, threw two pills to Ao Run with pale face, and flew back to the capital.

There are still some materials to refining water-avoiding pills. Li Mu spent a few days collecting them and refining water-avoiding pills, which was ten days later.

He came to the worship office and handed dozens of blood-red elixirs to the entourage in charge, saying, "These water-avoiding elixirs are distributed to thirty-six counties. In the future, when encountering incidents related to the aquatic race, there is no need to seek help from the gods."

After leaving the waterproof pill, Li Mu asked him: "What's going on in Nanjun?"

Speaking of Nanjun, the worshiper showed helplessness and said, "My Lord, Shen State hates our Great Zhou extremely. Although their official actions did not take any action, the practitioners of Shen State kept making trouble on the border of Nanjun. Yesterday, the worship officials received news that our colleagues who were sent to Nanjun to investigate were all injured by the practitioners of Shen State..."

Li Mu frowned and asked, "Don't there be garrisons in Nanjun? Are they sitting there and watching the people of Shen invade the border?"

The worship said: "Mr. Li doesn't know that the court has arranged most of its troops outside the demon country and the ghost domain. Among the four armies of Zhenbei, Pingxi, Annan and Dingdong, the Southern Army and the Eastern Army are the weakest. What's more, the shameless Shen people did not invade in large quantities. They often have one or two secretly crossed the border of Nanjun. The Southern Army is also unable to defend against. These days, there are many soldiers in the Southern Army who are injured in their hands..."

After leaving the worship department, Li Mu came to the ancestral temple and found that the mind power conveyed by the Nanjun Mind Power Cauldron not only did not increase compared to before, but was a little dimmer.

People in Shen can move anything, but they cannot move their mind power.

Whether he can have a few ladies from the seventh realm in the future can be at ease with the help of the people in the thirty-six counties.

Several fifth-level envoys were injured in Nanjun, and the result was the same. There was a tacit understanding between the countries in Zuzhou. In order to avoid the escalation of the war and both sides were injured, border frictions must be limited to the sixth-level envoys. Once the two great envoys intervened, it would mean that the Great Zhou and Shen Kingdom officially started a war.

The only things that war brought about were killing and death, which was contrary to the national policy of peaceful coexistence in the Great Zhou Dynasty. Even if it won, it might have lost its two years of efforts of Li Mu and the Empress.

This step must not be taken unless it is absolutely necessary.

Sometimes, low cultivation is not entirely a bad thing, and the two great worshipers cannot take action, so Li Mu plans to go and see it in person.

After reporting the itinerary with Queen Liu Hanyan and the others, Li Mu summoned Ao Run and set off immediately.

Among the four counties in the east, west, south and north, Nanjun is the closest to Shendu. At Aorun's extreme speed, it will arrive in less than three days.

Nanjun.

The Nanjun of the Great Zhou borders with Shen State. Since its establishment, an army has been stationed here, called the Annan Army. At the peak of the Annan Army, facing the provocation of Shen State, it once invaded the hinterland of Shen State and almost captured the capital of Shen State. Since then, Shen State has been in a slump and dared not invade the Great Zhou Dynasty again.

After the stability of the south, the court began to continuously draw the strong men from the Annan army to the northwest. Now, the once strongest Annan army has become the last of the four armies.

The border line of Nanjun is very long. Unlike the Zhenbei Army, the Annan Army stationed in Nanjun has ten people stationed as a post, scattered in various parts of the border, guarding the most border of the Great Zhou.

In recent days, as Shen State has been constantly invading the border, various posts of the Southern Army have clashed with Shen State practitioners many times, but both sides can still restrain the situation of only being injured but not being killed.

Nanhu is a big lake on the junction of the Great Zhou and Shen Kingdom. For a hundred years, the two countries have never given up their disputes about the ownership of this lake and have had many frictions. Later, in order to calm the incident, the two countries reached an agreement.

The small island in the middle of Nanhu Lake is bounded, north of the island is the territory of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and south of the island is the territory of Shen Kingdom. An air-forbidden formation was used on the Nanhu Lake, and practitioners were unable to fly, and the soldiers and people of the two countries were not allowed to cross the boundaries of the island.

However, at this moment, the light of magic flashed frequently on the north bank of Nanhu Lake.

Ten soldiers of the Southern Army were fighting hard with more than 20 Shen State practitioners. This is the north shore of the Nanhu Lake and the Great Zhou territory. It is obviously the provocation of Shen State practitioners across the border. They are numerous and powerful, and the Southern Army soldiers are defeated step by step.

A young man was timid and couldn't help but say, "They have a lot of people, we are not opponents, why don't you retreat first and find reinforcements..."

Another older man had a strong face and said in a deep voice: "This is my territory of Great Zhou, and behind them are the people of Great Zhou, and they cannot retreat even a single step!"

The young master took a deep breath and looked at the people who were fighting hard beside him. His expression gradually became firmer, and his magic tricks changed faster.

However, although their opponents were not very strong, the number was far greater than that of them. Soon, everyone was seriously injured. The practitioners of Shen Kingdom all spoke with joking and mocking.

"Is this the strongest Annan Army in the Great Zhou Dynasty?"

"What is the strongest? Our Dashen's weakest soldiers are stronger than them."

"How did they get into our Dashen before? They didn't make it up by themselves, right?"

...

The ten Great Zhou soldiers showed humiliation and anger, but could not resist. Just when they were about to fight to the death, a stream of light appeared in the horizon behind them, coming quickly towards Nanhu.

There are two powerful auras in the flowing light.

These two auras came from the direction of the Great Zhou Dynasty. The Southern Army showed joy and said excitedly: "Reinforcements have arrived!"

However, the faces of the practitioners in Shen State changed. These two auras were extremely strong and they could not defeat them. They jumped into the Nanhu behind them and fled towards Shen State.

The flowing light was extremely fast, and the Southern Army looked at the flowing light with anticipation, and the performance on their faces gradually changed from surprise to shock.

As the flowing light approached, they saw clearly that there was a dragon in the flowing light. The dragon was all white, and there was a figure standing above his head. A young man came on the dragon and landed on the north shore of the South Lake.

A middle-aged man hurriedly walked forward, clasped his fists and said respectfully: "See senior, can you ask if the senior was sent by the imperial court to reinforce Nanjun?"

Li Mu nodded and said, "I am from the Internship Department, what's going on here?"

The middle-aged man pointed to Nanhu behind him and gritted his teeth and said, "Sir Hui, it was the practitioners of Shen Kingdom who forcibly crossed our borders and provoked our garrisons. They had just fled before the seniors came."

Li Mu felt the many auras in the South Lake, looked at Ao Run, and said, "Catch them up."

Upon hearing this, Ao Run jumped into the lake without hesitation. The man was about to stop him, but it was too late.

Under the lake, two white shadows appeared and huge waves rolled up on the lake. Li Mu actually found another powerful aura at the bottom of the lake. Judging from the aura alone, his strength was still above Ao Run.

The middle-aged man said in a panic: "Sir, let your mount come up quickly. There is a giant dragon from the Shen people at the bottom of the Nanhu Lake, which is very powerful..."

Without him reminding him, the next moment, Ao Run let out a painful roar, broke through the water, and stood beside Li Mu in a mess.
