Lu Yunxue was somewhat lost in thought upon hearing the news.
The person she had abandoned fought to the death in Anping County, while her favorite Pei Lang deserted in the face of battle.
This was something Lu Yunxue simply couldn't accept!
So one morning, Lu Yunxue rode her horse directly away from Anping County to find Pei Jianzhi.
Mu Zian was not surprised at all by Lu Yunxue's departure.
The most important thing right now is to handle the aftermath in Luzhou.
Although the rebels have been defeated, the entire city of Luzhou is riddled with holes.
Mu Zian could only quickly submit a memorial to the court, requesting that the court immediately send civil officials to govern the Luzhou region.
When news of the recapture of Luzhou reached the capital, the Emperor of Dali never stopped smiling.
Not only that, Mu Zi'an also killed three thousand Qiang cavalrymen while suppressing the rebellion, which was an unexpected bonus.
Inside the Hall of Mental Cultivation, Emperor Xiao Yu looked at the report that had come from Luzhou and felt extremely pleased.
"Hmph! Not only are there remnants of the Great Chu, but also Qiang people involved. Gongsun Yi! I didn't expect that after twenty years, you still haven't given up your desire to destroy me!"

The massive crowd seemed to stretch to the horizon.
The moment Mu Zian appeared, all the people knelt on the ground, shouting in unison.
"Respectfully seeing off the Duke of Zhenguo!"
The sound echoed for miles, a fitting tribute to Mu Zi'an for saving them in their most desperate moment.
Officials passing through Anping County on their way to take up their posts were deeply moved by this scene!
People lined the streets to see them off, their cries echoing endlessly!
When we arrived, it was a desolate wasteland; after we left, it was a vast expanse of fertile land!
Upon seeing this, all the officials bowed to Mu Zian, who was on horseback.
From this moment on, everyone understood that the Duke of Zhenguo, who was once second only to the emperor, had returned!
