"In fact... last night, Beiliang achieved a victory, and the Crown Prince can announce this battle to the public."
"With that, Beiliang's reputation among the people will once again be elevated."
"If the Lord truly reaches the point of ruling the world, it will undoubtedly be the desire of the masses..."
Liu Lingxi spoke softly.
Li Luo, holding a teacup, paused and excitedly placed the cup down.
He grabbed Liu Lingxi's jade hand, filled with excitement, and exclaimed, "What did you say?!"
Seeing Li Luo unexpectedly grabbing her hand, Liu Lingxi's face instantly turned red, her gaze avoiding him, unable to look at Li Luo.
"I... I said... if the Lord reaches the point of ruling the world, it will be the desire of the people..."
Liu Lingxi shyly replied.
"No, no, no!"
"The previous sentence!"
Li Luo shook his head excitedly.
Liu Lingxi was taken aback, recalling the words she had just spoken, then continued, "Crown Prince... can announce to the public the news of Beiliang's overwhelming victory over Nanyun, elevating Beiliang's reputation among the people..."
"Yes!"
"That's it!"
"Look at me, how could I not have thought of it!"
Li Luo released Liu Lingxi's hand, slapped his forehead suddenly, and suddenly realized.
If the battle from last night were made public, wouldn't he instantly gain a large number of new fans?!
It would save him the effort of personally visiting each city.
"Miss Liu, take your time with your drink. This Prince has some matters to attend to and cannot accompany you!"
Li Luo immediately stood up and left to find someone, preparing to make the victory from last night known to the public.
"Crown Prince..."
Liu Lingxi watched Li Luo's hurried figure and couldn't help but smile.
"This fool..."
Feeling the lingering warmth on the back of her hand, her face uncontrollably turned slightly red...
...
In the eastern sky, the first ray of sunlight shone brilliantly upon the earth.
On the battlefield where the two armies clashed last night, countless armors reflected a golden morning glow.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
At this moment, a cloud of dust rose, and the sound of galloping horses resounded like thunder.
Two hundred thousand troops of the Black Cavalry rushed over, surrounding the entire battlefield.
This sudden appearance of the Black Cavalry was none other than Murong Liao and Chen Ying, who rushed to Xiangyun City to meet Zhang Yuan.
Murong Liao, the leader, looked at the countless corpses of the Black Cavalry scattered on the ground, his face displaying anger for the first time.
Their renowned Black Cavalry had actually lost to the iron cavalry of Beiliang!
"General!"
At this moment, several members of the Black Cavalry found the bodies of Zhang Yuan and Yun Bin in the battlefield and brought them to Murong Liao.
Murong Liao looked at the two bodies before him, his anger growing stronger.
Of the Five Great Generals of Nanyun, three had already fallen into the hands of Beiliang.
If they failed to annihilate the iron cavalry of Beiliang and kill the King of Beiliang, how could the dignity of the Nanyun Dynasty be preserved?!
"General, it's impossible for the King of Beiliang alone to deal with the combined forces of the two."
"Beiliang must have another expert at the pinnacle of the Great Dao!"
Chen Ying looked at the bodies of his comrades, his expression grave.
Murong Liao nodded slightly, examining the wounds on the two bodies, and analyzed, "To be precise, Yun Bin died by his own hand and was not killed by the enemy."
"As for Zhang Yuan, he was killed by a skilled practitioner of the spear."
"From what I know, the King of Beiliang is skilled in the use of the blade..."
"The skilled gunman mentioned in the spy intelligence within the court is none other than Gao Shun."
"General, why don't we lead the army and march over now?"
"The army of the Northern Liang King is currently stationed in Xiangyun City."
"With your strength, the Northern Liang King is definitely no match for you, even if we include this so-called Gao Shun."
Chen Ying's face turned cold as he pondered.
Murong Liao fell into silence for a moment before speaking:
"No rush. I have been half a step into that realm for a year or two now. My cultivation technique is about to reach completion, and I will take the final half step in these few days."
"When I take that final half step, it will be the day of Northern Liang's downfall!"
"Let's return to Xiu Yun City first."
"Yes!"
Upon hearing Murong Liao's words, Chen Ying was shocked.
The general is finally going to take that last half step and become a powerful expert at the Return to Ruin realm?!
Once the general becomes a Return to Ruin realm expert,
Aside from the one in the court,
We will have two Return to Ruin realm experts in Nan Yun.
At that time, Nan Yun will undoubtedly become the strongest among the neighboring dynasties.
Subsequently, Murong Liao ordered the Black Cavalry to set fire to the corpses on the battlefield and then stationed the 200,000 Black Cavalry in Xiu Yun City.
Meanwhile,
All the common people in the entire Western Province were completely stirred up.
Li Luo ordered his men to spread the news of the massive defeat of the 150,000 Black Cavalry of Nan Yun last night.
In order to gain new followers,
Li Luo deliberately changed the news to him personally leading 100,000 Beiliang troops for a night raid on the Black Cavalry.
In the spread news,
Not a word was mentioned about his father.
When Li Beixiong found out about it,
He not only didn't find anything inappropriate about it,
But instead strongly approved of it and rewarded the servant responsible for spreading the news.
At this moment, the people of the entire Western Province were discussing Li Luo.
Even Xiu Yun City, where Murong Liao was stationed, was no exception.
Numerous residents of Xiu Yun City, upon hearing this uplifting news in the early morning,
Gathered in taverns and teahouses, praising Li Luo endlessly.
"We have Beiliang in Liyang, and we have Li Luo, the Crown Prince. It's truly our fortune in Liyang!"
"That's right. According to the people from Beiliang, although Li Luo, the Crown Prince, holds a prestigious status, he is very respectful to us common people. Nowadays, among the children of the noble families in Liyang, is there anyone else like Li Luo, the Crown Prince?"
"Do you know, I heard from someone earlier that last night, Li Luo, the Crown Prince, personally led 100,000 Beiliang iron cavalry and utterly defeated the 150,000 Black Cavalry, annihilating them all. Those dogs of Nan Yun!"
"And Li Luo, the Crown Prince, was like a war god. He single-handedly killed Zhang Yuan and Yun Bin of Nan Yun!"
"Hmph, those foolish Black Cavalry of Nan Yun dare to take advantage of the chaos in Liyang and make a sneak attack. Sooner or later, they will be driven back to their hometown by Li Luo, the Crown Prince, leading the Beiliang iron cavalry!"
"Hahaha... That's right. Li Luo, the Crown Prince, is wise and valiant. I believe it won't be long before he comes to rescue our Xiangyun City..."
"Hahaha... I hope Li Luo, the Crown Prince, will completely annihilate the newly arrived 200,000 Black Cavalry and establish the might of our Liyang!"
"Yes, when Prince Li Luo leads his army here, I hope these Black Cavalry soldiers won't flee in disarray..."
"Hahaha..."
"..."
The people of Liyang seemed to have been oppressed for a long time. Now, upon hearing the good news of the great victory of the Beiliang Army, they finally felt a sense of relief.
They began to speak freely, openly praising the glorious deeds of Li Luo, just like the people of Xiu Yun City.
At this moment, the citizens of Western Province, like Xiangyun City, took to the streets, discussing Li Luo's magnificent achievements.
Li Luo's position in the hearts of the people reached an unprecedented height, gaining overwhelming support.

And Gu Wei never expected that after finally landing a villain role to stir up trouble, she’d pick the wrong gender! No choice now—she’ll just have to crush the protagonists as a girl!
