"We will consider this matter carefully." Even though the situation was so bad, the general still did not easily give up his oath to the Plantagenet dynasty.

"My dear immortals, please take a rest here first. I will give you an answer later." Then he waved his hand, and soldiers dressed in black iron came out from the shadows in the corner of the hall and escorted these disciples out of the hall.

As a result, the generals present felt relieved and slowly loosened their grip on their weapons.

Just now, if Zhuo Muye had not secretly stopped them, these generals would have captured the several disciples present.

They actually dared to kill people at will in the general's mansion. What do they think of them? They are so arrogant and domineering.

Unlike the 'Green Pine Peacock Mountain' from the Five Kingdoms of Qingluan, the generals present here come from all over the dynasty. If they were not promoted and trained by the dynasty, who would stay in this cold and fortified city in the north? They would not rebuild the ancient kingdom for some illusory blue bird heritage. Besides, there was no city here in ancient times, only a desert wilderness with constant cold winds.

Today's Beifu Mountain and the eleven continents beyond the Great Wall all emerged and were created after the dynasty was established. The people of Beifu Mountain are diverse, and most of them do not know the legends of the Five Kingdoms of Qingluan, nor do they have any sense of identity. The fact that they can live here is mostly due to the achievements of the current dynasty.

After dispersing the soldiers, Zhuo Muye walked slowly back to the study in the backyard. After a while, there were sounds of notification and knocking on the door.

"Come in."

"Yes, father." Then a handsome young general wearing silver armor walked into the study.

"Feng Tong, you are here, please sit down first." Compared with outsiders, Zhuo Muye was much more casual in front of his eldest son.

"You know everything that happened today, right?"

"Yes." Then the room became quiet again.

Looking at his father standing in front of the mural in the study with his back to him for a long time, Zhuo Fengtong was silent for a long time before finally speaking.

"Father……"

"Are you here to persuade me?" Zhuo Muye suddenly turned around and looked at his son.

"yes."

"Which side are you on?"

"I think we should immediately lead the army away from Beifu Mountain and head south."

"Then why do you do this?"

"The people in Beifu Mountain are mixed, and there are many factions. Although my father is a general, accidents are inevitable. If we lead the army out, under the military law of the barracks, the soldiers will be cut off from external information. This will avoid many unnecessary chaos and fights."

"Oh, your idea is quite consistent with those heroes in history books."

"But you haven't told me what benefits I will gain from leading the army south, and how it will end."

"Go south, raise the emperor's banner, conquer the four directions, and then march the army to Luojing to stop the two kings and use the emperor to control the world."

"Hahaha, you idiot, you idiot." Zhuo Muye laughed and then shook his head.

"You know that the descendants of powerful ministers are all wiped out after two generations. If I don't take their place, I will wait for the two kings to be executed. After a few years, I will be arrested by the new king and beheaded in public."

"Generals in the army, why do you obey my orders? They are all orders from the emperor. If I don't follow my plan of rebellion, what name should I use to command everyone?"

"Then, what does father think?" Although he was refuted and ridiculed, the eldest son did not seem surprised at all, as if all the previous words were meant to induce his father to express his actual thoughts.

"Hmph, you've become cunning and smart now." Zhuo Muye waved his sleeves and sat in front of the desk. He picked up a pen and quickly sketched on the white paper. A rough map appeared.

"Now the world is divided. The twenty-six central continents have obeyed your command. King Dai and King Huainan have each led their armies towards the center, and now they are engaged in a fierce battle."

"We are in Mobei, looking out over the world. Although we have a large army, we cannot act rashly."

"Once the army moves, the food and supplies will be greatly consumed. We only have the strength to fight a few battles, so we can't delay for long."

"If we follow the advice of the one who came to us and re-establish the Qingluan Kingdom, who will be the king? It will not be you or me. We must find someone from the royal family and support them."

"While this is stable, it also means gradually handing over power and making a dismal exit."

"If the army marches south, although the generals in the army will follow, their hearts are different. Who knows where they will join? Maybe the new emperor, or King Dai and King Huainan. After all, they will no longer be as united as before." He was filled with emotion.

Now that the dynasty has just collapsed, he can still roughly control Beifu Mountain, but once he takes sides and makes a choice, civil strife will break out in an instant.

There are those who support continuing to be loyal to the dynasty, those who follow the advice that comes to them, and those who hope to rebuild the country and fight against the dynasty's criminals. Even he finds it difficult to balance the various forces in the city.

"Although it's hard for me to say this, Father, I know you've already made up your mind."

Zhuo Fengtong looked at the powerful general. He grew up in Beifu Mountain and watched his father rise from an ordinary general to his current position step by step. It was not just his thoughtfulness that made him successful.

"Oh, it seems that you have really grown up." Zhuo Muye put down the pen in his hand and pondered slowly.

He walked slowly around the room and then spoke.

"If you have such ambitions, I can definitely give it my all."

"If you pursue a stable and prosperous life, there are countless ways to retreat."

"But, since the king's order is here..." He stopped and looked at the map depicting the mountains, rivers and land of the dynasty, his voice slow and leisurely.

"Forty-three years ago, I chased a black eagle through the marketplace. The emperor of that time saw me and summoned me for questioning."

"The emperor asked me where I came from and why I risked my life chasing after evil birds from a high building."

"I answered them one by one, telling how I had to travel to the capital to support my family, and then I showed the emperor the scars on my body."
