Yunnan, Mufu—

The hall was as quiet as calm as it was. As the current Duke of Qian, Mu Changzuo sat upright on the top, while the governor of Yunnan Liu Shizeng Lie sat on one side. The two sat side by side, looking at the generals with a solemn expression.

Although there was no word, he was not angry and powerful. No one dared to act rashly and showed his contempt.

Although the battle against Myanmar had just ended and he returned from a great victory, not only expelled the Burmese army, but also recovered a large number of lost lands, the expressions of the crowd did not see the joy and joy after the great victory, but it gave people a feeling of being covered in dust.

"Everyone, what do you think about this Myanmar army invasion?"

Whether it is a title, official position, or personal prestige and qualification, there is no doubt that Mu Changzuo was no match for the meeting and was well-deserved to host the meeting, which made him break this almost suppressed silence.

Seeing that no one responded, Mu Changzuo obviously had never thought that everyone could respond to him. After a moment of pause, his eyes slowly shifted, and while scanning everyone, he continued to speak.

"Although the battle was a great victory, the Burmese king Mang Yingli also retreated to Myanmar and recovered a large number of lost lands, the elite of the Toho Dynasty were still there, and this battle did not hurt its roots. With Mang Yingli's greedy nature, it is possible to lead the army back and invade again at any time."

"Also, whenever the Burmese army invaded this time, it would inevitably burn, kill, loot, and do everything evil. A large number of people were displaced, many cities and houses were destroyed, and the entire southern border in Yunnan was in ruins."

"In other words, the Myanmar army's multiple invasions have invaded both sides within a year. When the invasion is in vain, the border defense is useless. It is enough to show that the border defense in the southwest has great problems and needs to be rectified and strengthened urgently."

He was still neither happy nor sad, whether it was the governor Liu Shizeng, or the many generals on both sides, or the solemn expression on his face, he kept silent and listened quietly to the speech of Duke of Qian, Mu Changzuo. No one answered.

"General Deng and General Liu, after the meeting, you two will formulate a charter. How to increase the border defense in the southwest? Leave it to your Duke and tell us what you think."

Following Mu Changzuo's words, almost at the same time, two people stood up on the left and right sides, came to the center of the venue, and bowed and replied: "Yes, Duke Qian, I will obey the order!"

Immediately after another group discussion, the generals left one after another. Duke of Qian, Mu Changzuo and governor Liu Shizeng, came to the door of the hall, stood side by side, feeling very heavy, quietly watching the direction of everyone leaving, gradually disappearing into the courtyard.

"Duke Qian, on the surface, the war in the southwest seems to have been suspended for a while, but maybe others don't know it, but you and I know it very well. At this moment, there is an undercurrent. If you don't do it well, there will be even more wars in the southwest, and the storm is likely to sweep the entire southwest."

At this time, the Yunnan Governor Liu Shizeng looked worried and seemed so uneasy. His seemingly calm appearance had a very anxious heart and was not as calm as it appeared.

Especially the anxiety and urgency in the words became more and more obvious. Even the eyes looking forward were getting deeper and deeper, with infinite melancholy and vicissitudes.

"Mr. Liu, I understand what you mean and know what you mean. However, although you and I have important positions and are considered prominent, they are not worth mentioning in the eyes of those people. What do they mean?"

At this moment, Mu Changzuo's heart was so heavy. He couldn't help but sigh in a few words, mixed with an unconcealed sense of powerlessness. Even though he was one of the few dukes of the Ming Dynasty, he was still so small in front of some forces.

"Okay, Lord Liu, that thing has exceeded our ability and cannot be handled. At this time, we can only report to the court truthfully and the emperor will decide."

"What the Duke of Qian said is very much-"

As if he had some insight, Liu Shizeng agreed, and he couldn't help but nodded deeply, pondered for a moment, and then added: "Yes~ those forces are too powerful, and even the court has the power they have to be careful, otherwise-"

Although the words are exhausted, the meaning is endless.

Although Liu Shizeng's words came to an abrupt end, the Duke of Qian still heard the unspeakable words and the implicit sounds in them.

Liu Shizeng's meaning is very obscure, but as a vassal in the southwest, the princes guarding Yunnan have been for several generations. Mu Changzuo, Duke of Qian, is different from other lords and officials. He is an absolute power figure and knows too much secrets, something little known in the world.

For example, the existence of a practitioner—

In the eyes of secular people, Emperor Jiajing refining alchemy for immortality, perhaps it was an unrealistic and absurd idea. It was a superstitious practice, but it was just a gimmick for the demon to deceive the public and deceive the royal family.

However, Mu Changzuo knew that it was not absurd and had considerable factual basis. It was just that this so-called "fact" was little known. Coupled with the deliberate demonization of Confucianism, the most normal path to seeking Taoism and practicing immortality in the cultivation world is regarded as being so unemployed.

What Mu Changzuo knew was not only because he heard of it, but also because he had said with his own eyes that there were practitioners worshipped in the Mu Mansion.

Although they do not have the magical ability to swallow clouds and spit out mists and rush over the sea, Mu Changzuo could not believe the strange and unpredictable methods and had to be amazed and convinced. However, after being shocked, they were also very happy. The reason was very simple. With the protection of these offerings, their Mu family could be invincible in the southwest!

The key is that Mu Changzuo was able to be safer in the southwest of rebellion and invasion.

The strange methods of those cultivators are absolutely unpredictable. At this moment, with the corresponding memories coming, it is as if they are vivid in their minds. Flying swords fly in the air, you can cut off the big tree surrounded by a person dozens of meters away, let alone a person's head. The talisman turns into flames, lightning, or water attacks, which are simply unpredictable and irresistible.

If a practitioner appears in the war in the secular world, it is undoubtedly a thunderbolt method. Whoever has it will be like mastering the bargaining chips for victory in the war.

It is not difficult to imagine that if a cultivator assassinates and specifically assassinates those generals, the corresponding generals will not have the chance to escape at all. The behavior of the cultivator alone will undoubtedly die unless there is a corresponding cultivator confrontation.

Once the general dies, it means the end of the war, and the other side cannot win.

"Hey--this is all we can do now."

I don’t know how long it has passed, but Duke Qian suddenly sighed and added powerlessly: “Now I can only do my best to do my best and leave my destiny. I hope the court can send corresponding strong people to come.”
