The Counterattack of the Villains

Chapter 14 The End and the New Beginning

Thirty miles south of Luoyang City, incense and colorful decorations were burned on both sides of the official road, bells and drums rang, and the sound of music shook the sky, creating a festive atmosphere.

The Minister ordered Wang Yun to bring the Minister of Rites and a group of officials from the Ministry of Rites to work on the army instead of Emperor Liu Xie. This was the "suburban labor" in the "triumph ceremony".

Triumphal ceremonies have existed since ancient times. The last time Li Mu made a triumphal return from Hulao Pass, because Dong Zhuo was in charge of the court, the courtiers would naturally not be too meddlesome to mention the triumphal ceremony.

So last time it was just Li Ru who came with a group of officials to greet him casually.

But this time, Li Mu was fighting for his country, returning home in triumph, and Liu Xie was already in power, so naturally he couldn't just dismiss it casually.

The journey of thirty miles out of the city was only part of the triumphal ceremony. Liu Xie also led hundreds of officials to prepare the "Ten Miles Celebration Wine" ten miles outside the city.

After drinking the ten-mile celebration wine, the army commander can ride back with the king and return to the court hand in hand.

After returning to the palace, one should "enjoy the merits of the ancestral temple and give up one's title and honors", that is, go to the Ancestral Temple to pay homage to the ancestors and perform the ceremony of offering victories and prisoners.

To present the victory is to report the news of victory to the ancestors and thank them for their blessings, that is, the ceremony officer reads an inscription and then burns it.

To sacrifice prisoners means to offer various trophies, including captives, who will be killed as sacrifices.

Li Mu didn't capture any prisoners, but he could use some trophies as sacrifices.

The end of presenting victory and prisoners is the last step of the triumphal ceremony. The king banquets the meritorious officials and discusses their merits and rewards, which is called "drinking".

When Li Mu arrived at Jiao Lao's place, he saw Mrs. Yan, Diao Chan, and Lu Lingqi among the team.

Three years have passed and Lu Lingqi is nearly fourteen years old. She has fully grown and her beauty is not inferior to that of Diao Chan.

She is 1.7 meters tall, standing with Mrs. Yan and Diao Chan who are about the same height, and they look like three sisters.

Looking at the three smiling faces, Li Mu's majestic and cold face couldn't help but turn into a warm smile.

Turning over and dismounting, Li Mu greeted Wang Yun and said politely: "My son-in-law pays homage to my father-in-law."

Wang Yun quickly helped him up and said with a smile on his face: "Please get up quickly. Now the Han Dynasty is peaceful and there are no more wars. It's great to be the first to take credit."

Li Mudao said: "It's all thanks to the concerted efforts of the imperial court and the soldiers' lives that we can achieve peace today. Bu dare not take credit for it."

After exchanging a few words with Wang Yun, the old guy walked away knowingly and gave up his space to the family.

Li Mu walked up to the girls, made a circle with his long arms, and pulled his wife and daughters into his broad arms. Mrs. Yan was on the left, Diao Chan was on the right, and Lu Lingqi was in the middle.

"Thank you for your hard work these past three years, but from now on, our family will never have to be separated again."

The three women all had tears of joy on their faces. After Li Mu returned this time, the Han territory was peaceful and there was no more war.

Even if there was to be a foreign war in the future, there was no need for Li Mu to go to war in person. Even if he had to go to war in person, he could definitely take the three women with him.

Because Lu Lingqi and Diao Chan will both become warrior queens with outstanding martial arts under his guidance, they will be able to fight side by side.

Although Mrs. Yan does not know martial arts, she can take care of their daily life.

The family said goodbye and then mounted their horses and returned to the city.

The musicians played and played along the way, and the army marched toward Luoyang accompanied by the sound of drums.

Ten miles south of Luoyang City, a large carriage was parked in the middle of the road. The carriage was pulled by six horses and had a bright yellow canopy. Liu Xie was sitting upright in it.

All the princes, nobles, civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty lined up on both sides of the road. Everyone was beaming with joy and talking loudly. They were no longer as lifeless as when Li Ru led the team.

"My Iceberg Beauty Wife"

In three years, Liu Xie has grown from a child to a handsome young man. Due to his years of martial arts practice, his originally weak body has become strong and erect.

The height has also jumped up. The old Liu family has good genes. Liu Bang, the great ancestor of the Han Dynasty, was about 1.8 meters tall, and Liu Che, the emperor of the Han Dynasty, was even more impressive, more than 1.88 meters tall.

Although Liu Xie is only fifteen years old, he is already over 1.75 meters tall. Men's physical development is slower, but it takes longer than women.

After he turns twenty, he will probably be more than 1.8 meters tall.

At this time, Liu Xie was more excited than anyone else, because he had been practicing Yi Jin Gu Tian Pian for many years, and his body had grown very quickly.

Last year, his abilities in that area had matured and he began to have impulses in that area.

Now, he naturally understands that aspect, but Fu Shou has been controlling him and not allowing him to mess around, which makes him extremely uncomfortable.

For a whole year, Liu Xie felt that he was on the verge of exploding at any time, looking at the slim Fu Shou and the young and beautiful palace maids around him every day.

In order to divert his attention, in addition to learning to handle government affairs from Wang Yun and others every day, he also practiced martial arts hard, making himself exhausted so that he could sleep peacefully.

Now that the Taifu has finally taught me the lesson, no matter what I say today, I have to let him teach me the method of dual cultivation.

After waiting for more than an hour, it was already past noon, and Liu Xie finally heard the sound of drum music, and he immediately became energetic.

Not long after, the army appeared in front of Liu Xie and the officials.

The officials immediately formed their teams, Liu Xie also got off his chariot, and the maids quickly picked up the trays and filled the wine glasses on the trays.

The army stopped twenty feet away from Liu Xie, and the drumming stopped. Li Mu and all the generals and counselors under his command dismounted, lined up, and then followed Li Mu to greet Liu Xie.

Li Mu stopped two feet away in front of Liu Xie, clasped his fists and bowed, saying: "The last general, Lu Bu, was ordered by Your Majesty to lead an army to conquer the world. Now I have lived up to Your Majesty's trust and won the victory."

Liu Xie stepped forward quickly, helped Li Mu up, and said excitedly: "General, please get up quickly. Having the general here is really a blessing for the great man and a blessing for the people."

On this occasion, he naturally had to address himself as General, not Taifu.

After saying that, he personally took the wine glass from the tray aside and handed it to Li Mu. Then he said loudly: "Soldiers, please drink this cup of celebratory wine with me."

The maids carried the trays and delivered the wine glasses to the soldiers behind Li Mu.

After the maids retreated to both sides, all the soldiers raised their glasses and said in unison: "To the great man, to Your Majesty."

Liu Xie also said loudly: "Respect the general, respect all the soldiers."

Then Liu Xie, Li Mu and others drank the celebratory wine together.

After putting down the wine glass, Liu Xie took Li Mu's hand, got on the driver's seat, and waved, "Get up and go back to the palace."

The sound of drumming started again, and the ministers followed Yu Jia on both sides, returning to Luoyang City. The officers and soldiers remounted their horses and followed Yu Jia.

They, the generals and counselors, will follow Li Mu into the palace to attend the celebration banquet, and then they will be rewarded based on their merits.

The army has its own troops bringing their leaders back to the camp. The supplies to reward the three armies have been prepared at the camp. While Li Mu and the others are having a banquet in the palace, the army can also have a carnival.

These soldiers on the expedition do not need to be on duty tonight. The troops left behind at the sentry posts are responsible for them. They only need to let go of eating and drinking.

On the carriage, Li Mu said with a smile: "It seems that Your Majesty has not slacked off in the past three years, and his skills have been quite developed."

Liu Xie's eyes flickered, he did not turn his head, but looked straight ahead, and said nonchalantly: "In that case, can Tai Tu pass on that mental technique to me?"

Li Mu turned to look at him, smiled, and said: "It seems that Your Majesty has really grown up and can transition from a boy to a man."

"No problem. Once the celebration banquet is over, I will pass on my thoughts to Your Majesty."

The happiest thing for half-grown children is that others treat them as adults. Li Mu's words immediately made Liu Xie smile, and at the same time his heart became hot.

"Thank you, Master."

Nearly an hour later, everyone returned to the palace and went to the Ancestral Temple to complete the ceremony of presenting victory and prisoners. It was time for the celebration banquet.

Generally speaking, military generals prefer to drink with their subordinates because they feel comfortable and feel somewhat restrained in the palace hall.

But because Liu Xie was young and not very dignified, and Li Mu was present to mediate the atmosphere, the soldiers did not feel restrained, and laughter and laughter often sounded in the hall.

The merit book and Li Mu's merit report had been sent back to the court before the class, and the rewards for the soldiers had already been drawn up.

Therefore, after the banquet ended, the edicts on the rewards of the officers and soldiers were read out directly, and almost everyone present participated.

In fact, not everyone has made a contribution, but when we are on an expedition, everyone always has his or her own responsibility. As long as nothing goes wrong, a share of the credit is already there.

There is no content about himself in the merit book and Li Mu's memorial.

But everyone knows that Li Mu is definitely the undisputed biggest contributor to bringing peace to the world.

So this time Liu Xie tried his best to override all opinions and gave him a king with a different surname, and the title "King Wucheng of Zhenguo".

That's right, it was Huang Feihu's title during the Yin and Shang Dynasties.

The title of King Wucheng is not unique, but if you add the word "Zhenguo", the meaning will be completely different.

Even Jiang Ziya was posthumously named King Wucheng after his death. There was also a King Wucheng in the Yan State during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, but there was no word "zhengguo" in either of them.

There was only one Huang Feihu who was granted the title of King Wucheng of Zhenguo, but that was in the world of gods, and Huang Feihu was originally a fictional character in the novel.

Therefore, this title has never appeared in this world, and it was entirely Liu Xie's own idea.

Li Mu was quite dumbfounded when he heard this, but this was Liu Xie's wish, so he didn't say anything and accepted the reward calmly.

After the celebration banquet, most of the counselors chose to go back to their homes, while the generals returned to the military camp to drink with their subordinates.

However, Li Mu followed Liu Xie to the middle palace of Fushou. He passed on the spiritual method of "Sunflower Collection" to the two of them and explained the movement route of inner energy to them in detail.

After both of them expressed that they had remembered it, Li Mu immediately returned to his home. In his own home, there were also two ladies waiting for him to comfort him!

That same night, the system prompt for return rang in my mind. It seemed that the plan to develop Dahan would have to wait until later.

Samsara World: Dynasty Warriors

Replacement character: Lu Bu

Rating for this reincarnation: 100

Before each reincarnation starts, you can return to this world and live for 100 days.

It was rare that this reincarnation ended in just over three years, which made Li Mu somewhat regretful that he could not bring back the Thunder-exploding Heavenly Halberd.

He knows how to take away the weapons from the world of reincarnation, but he can't do it now because he doesn't have the method.

Li Mu knew that in order to take away the weapons from the world of reincarnation, he had to "refine" the weapons like in the world of immortals, so that they could be integrated with his own weapons and could be stored in the body's Dantian or sea of ​​consciousness.

Because after the human weapon is integrated into one, the weapon is no longer a foreign object, but a part of itself, so it can be taken away.

But the problem is that he doesn't understand the methods of sacrificial refining at all, and there is no relevant method in the world he has experienced, so how can he talk about refining?

Therefore, he can only wait until he enters the world of immortals and learns the methods of refining weapons and magic weapons before he can return to the world of Warriors of the Three Kingdoms and take away his favorite magic weapons.

Magical weapons like the Thunder-Exploding Square Halberd are different from ordinary weapons in that they are growable weapons.

This is a very awesome feature that makes the Thunder Exploding Halberd never go out of style.

As long as he keeps growing, he might be able to go head-to-head with magic weapons such as the three-pointed two-edged sword, the golden cudgel, and the nine-tooth rake in a world like Journey to the West without falling behind.

If he kills enough enemies and is strong enough, he might even be able to compete with innate treasures such as the God-killing Spear and Yuantu Abi in the prehistoric world.

To a certain extent, the Thunder-exploding Heavenly Halberd is a killing treasure.

But it’s useless to think so much now, we can only wait and see, hoping that the next world will be a fairy world.

As usual, go to each world first to use up your rest time.

There is nothing much to say about other worlds. In the Fengyun world, after Luo Xian collected all the remnants of the Tianmen, he went to Shuntian Mansion to reunite with Li Mu.

At the end of the year, when his disciples and grandchildren returned to Shuntian Mansion to celebrate the New Year, Li Mu introduced Luo Xian to everyone.

Nie Fengbu, Jingyun and others had nothing to say. After all, this was Master's private matter.

But Long Teng and Youruo were a little uncomfortable. They felt very awkward when they were asked to call a woman who looked younger than them.

What the brother and sister meant was that they had no objection to Li Mu having a woman, but it would be difficult for them to accept her marriage.

When Li Mu said that Luo Xian was nearly two hundred years old, the brother and sister immediately became angry.

It was only then that Li Mu revealed that practicing the Sacred Heart Art had the effect of immortality. At this point, the brother and sister had nothing to say.

When the word immortality comes out, age and other things no longer matter at all.

There was no resistance to marrying Luo Xian. A few days before Li Mu's rest period ended, Li Mu met the matchmaker and took Luo Xian in.

Returning to the present world this time, Li Mu woke up from bed alone because Zhang Qin was not at home.

When he entered reincarnation, Zhang Qin and Chen Yanqiu went on a business trip abroad for brand promotion.

This little girl Zhang Qin is really talented, and the clothes she designs are very popular among young people.

Li Mu can almost foresee that the "Muqin Clothing" created by Zhang Qin has a high chance of becoming bigger and stronger.

His girlfriend's career is going well, and Li Mu is not doing well either. His first novel has been completed, and the rights to adapt it for film and television dramas have been sold. He has made a lot of money.

However, he was also idle, so he wrote a second novel, this time about an imaginary struggle for hegemony, which was equally popular.

Less than half a month later, Zhang Qin and Chen Yanqiu finally came back. Seeing how happy they were, it was obvious that they had gained a lot from this business trip.

Through the chat between the two of them, Li Mu learned that their brand had already opened up the market in several first-tier cities, and would be able to spread across the country in a few years, and might even have the opportunity to go international.

Zhang Qin’s dream is to participate in Paris Fashion Week.

Li Mu was full of praise and encouragement, but in the evening Zhang Qin was so enthusiastic that he gave up until he was exhausted.

This time, a full year has passed, and Li Mu has finished his second novel, and a new reincarnation has finally begun.

As the reincarnation progresses, the time between them becomes longer and longer. I am afraid that after several more reincarnations, the interval will reach several years.

Fortunately, he and Zhang Qin are still young now, so there is no need to consider the issue of not growing old.

As for the future, there will always be a way for cars to reach the mountain. He believes that there will always be a solution in the future.
