When Murong Hongxue woke up, it was already half a month later.

He sat in his wheelchair with vacant eyes, staring at his empty lower body, and began to question the meaning of life.

No matter which man it is, after losing that thing, he will doubt his future.

"Hongxue, why don't you go outside for a stroll? You can go wherever you want in the future, and I will never stop you."

Li Chang'an sat down next to Murong Hongxue and comforted her, saying, "You've suffered because you're with me."

Upon hearing his words of comfort, the Liao Kingdom's number one swordsman burst into tears.

“Your Highness, I am not wronged. I am only wronged on behalf of my brother. He has followed me for so many years and has never seen the sun or enjoyed any happiness.”

"They stayed with me every day, getting through one difficult night after another."

"He's gone now, I can't bear to part with him, sob sob sob."

Seeing his tearful appearance, Li Chang'an felt a little helpless. He took out a pair of fertility pills from his backpack and said, "This thing can regenerate severed limbs. Meng Xingyun, who has never grown since childhood, can grow such a long section. If you eat it, it will probably grow back too."

Murong Hongxue looked at the two pills with some doubt: "Really? They have such an effect?"

Emperor Jianyuan looked at him and laughed, "Chang'an, what you said isn't a lie. This stuff will definitely be effective once you eat it."

“I used to be only the size of my little finger, but after eating it, I now weigh two or three pounds. This pill must be effective.”

Upon hearing this, Murong Hongxue's eyes lit up, and she immediately took the pill and put it in her bosom.

"That's good, that's good, then everything's fine."

"In the world of martial arts, getting injured is normal. The two legs on the sides are not important; the middle leg is the most important thing for a man."

Murong Hongxue's words made everyone present laugh, except for the Grand Eunuch Chen Fenghuo, whose expression was somewhat awkward.

Seeing his expression, Li Chang'an took out a pair of pills from his pocket and handed them to Emperor Jianyuan.

Zhou Chao looked at the pill in his hand, then at Chen Fenghuo's expression, and smiled silently to himself.

Since Lin Linfa joined Li Chang'an, their relationship has improved considerably.

Some of the experts in the palace gradually became closer to the people in the Prince's Mansion, and Emperor Jianyuan was very happy to see this.

He turned around and placed the pill in Chen Fenghuo's hand, saying, "Fenghuo, why don't you thank our prince?"

Looking at the pill in his hand, Chen Fenghuo was trembling with excitement. He never expected that he, an old man who was almost a hundred years old, would have the chance to grow that thing.

"Thank you for your generous gift, Your Highness. Thank you for your grace, Your Majesty."

The other eunuchs, seeing this scene, were practically overflowing with envy.

"The position of governor of Chang'an and Fujian is still vacant. Which official do you think would be suitable to be stationed here?"

The entire army returned a few days ago and is preparing to return to the capital together in a couple of days.

The Heaven and Earth Society, which had been entrenched in Fujian, had been largely wiped out. The biggest problem now was the lack of suitable personnel to serve as the governor of Fujian.

“Yang Wenguang is definitely not up to the task. He can lead troops into battle and clean up corrupt officials, but when it comes to governing the people’s livelihood, it can’t be done by fighting and killing.”

After listening to Emperor Jianyuan's analysis, Li Chang'an said, "That definitely won't work. Military and political affairs must be separated, otherwise things could easily go wrong."

After thinking for a while, he said, "Your Majesty, what do you think of Zhao Hu?"

"Although we have said that the military and the government are separated, there still needs to be someone who can keep those arrogant and unruly soldiers in check."

"Most of the other officials in the Ming Dynasty still do things the same way as before and can't keep up with our pace."

"Some of the Confucian disciples are not capable enough. Letting them manage the people would be a great disaster for them."

"Zhao Hu was in charge of all the affairs in Tai'an City before, and he handled them quite well. I think it's appropriate to appoint him as the governor of Fujian."

After listening to Li Chang'an's analysis, Emperor Jianyuan nodded and said, "That works too."

"Now that we have finally managed to clean up Fujian, we must send a capable official to govern it."

"Otherwise, it will be like before, occupied by those prestigious families who will not obey the court's orders."

In just a few words, the two men decided on the candidate for governor of Fujian.

"So, Chang'an, which force are you planning to deal with next?"

"We're preparing to go to Jiangnan West Road to quell the Jianghu forces there, otherwise they've become too arrogant."

"They've turned this once peaceful land of fish and rice into a chaotic mess, even worse than the situation in Fujian."

Zhou Chao frowned as he recalled the events in Jiangnan West Road.

With the disappearance of Chen Jinnan, the Heaven and Earth Society in Fujian became a disorganized mess, offering no resistance whatsoever, and was wiped out in one fell swoop.

Meanwhile, the White Lotus Sect in Jiangnan West Road became increasingly chaotic and disorderly after the disappearance of their leader, the Eternal Mother.

Some people even went so far as to rally a group of ignorant people and shout out the slogan of awakening.

They said we should awaken ourselves, open our eyes to the world, resist oppression, restore the legacy of the Tang Dynasty, and return to an era when women could also become empresses.

They both emulate Wu Zetian and despise her, as she returned power to the Li family.

They believed that since a female emperor had finally appeared, the throne should be passed on to her, not to someone else.

Upon hearing these theories, Emperor Jianyuan almost burst out laughing.

The core of power is always built on violence.

If someone doesn't even understand this principle, yet still wants to become emperor, they're probably just dreaming.

Just as he and Li Chang'an were discussing Jiangnan West Road, the long-absent system suddenly beeped.

"Beep, hidden quest unlocking in progress—Earth Dragon Turns Over!"

"In ten days, the earth will rise up in the Jiangnan West Road area, burying countless people in the ruins and facing the tragedy of losing their homes and lives. Please, host, rescue the people there and prevent the tragedy from happening."

"Rewards: 99+ World Broadcasting Horns, Special Reward: 99+ High-Yield Bean Sprouts!"

"High-yield bean curd—a favorite of the people of Shandong. May every child from Shandong be able to eat bean curd for two months when they return home."

"Five-star bean tweezers expert MacArthur once commented: 'What a fucking vicious curse! You've only been eating bean tweezers for two months, I'm going to fucking whip your ass with a bean tweezer.'"

Upon hearing the system issue the task, Li Chang'an grinned. He recalled the days when he went on a business trip to Shandong and could eat bean curd wherever he visited.

"We don't need this special reward!"
