Liu Er’s mentor, an old demon cultivator, was sitting on a rock in a dejected manner.
He kept twisting a spirit bead in his hand and had been practicing silently for a long time.
The old man slowly opened his eyes and activated his magic power.
The spirit pearl was infused with magical power and gradually emitted a dazzling light.
The old man opened his mouth and swallowed the spirit pearl.
The spirit pearl entered the mouth, but did not go down the throat to the abdomen, but went all the way up and stayed between the old man's eyebrows.
The intense pain hit the old demon cultivator, causing veins to bulge in his eye sockets and his expression to become hideous and terrifying.
The light of the spirit pearl gradually disappeared.
There was a huge round tumor in the middle of the old man's forehead.
The old demon cultivator put his fingers together like a knife, raised his palms in front of him, and suddenly chopped towards himself.
A sharp magical power burst out and directly cut through the tumor in the middle of the old man's forehead.
Suddenly, blood and some unknown yellow liquid splattered, and the old man couldn't help but groan in pain.
He clenched his teeth tightly, closed his eyes, and only used the "tumor" on his forehead to see.
After the tumor broke open, it revealed an orange-yellow eyeball filled with bloodshot.
A mysterious light burst out from his eyeballs, illuminating an area of more than ten feet in front of the old man.
In the old man's vision, the Canglin Fairy City in the distance has changed greatly. Countless kinds of fortunes are entangled and intertwined, forming a colorful and complex spectacle.
The old man activated his magic formula, constantly adjusting his vision and eliminating many miscellaneous items.
Soon, there were only three parties left in his field of vision.
In the center was a huge red flower, dripping with blood, its petals falling off, swaying in the wind and rain.
Amidst the raging wind and rain, there was a golden halberd hovering high in the sky, gorgeous and sharp, emitting a cold golden light, and unstoppable.
The aura of the golden halberd intimidated the red flower, as if it was going to chop it down in the next moment.
There is another door plaque, made of white jade, crystal clear and smooth, also hanging high in the sky, overlooking the red flowers, giving people a feeling of majestic mountains.
"Mulan from the Red Flower Camp, Sun Gan from the Golden Halberd Army, and Shuang Jing from the White Jade Camp..."
"Has Xiaoliu not understood yet?"
The old demon cultivator murmured in disappointment.
He couldn't hold on for long as blood began to gush out of the round tumor on his forehead, and blood was also overflowing from his two eye sockets.
At this moment, a spirit of luck appeared and transformed into a monkey, also surrounding the red flower.
The monkey had yellow hair and three ears, and was much smaller than the golden halberd and jade plaque. But as soon as it appeared, it took several steps and came closest to the red flower.
The monkey stretched out his hand and made a gesture as if to pluck a flower.
"Good, good, good!" The old demon cultivator was overjoyed, "It really is the king's order. I don't need to remind him at all. Xiaoliu has already understood the truth!"
The old demon cultivator lingered nearby and did not leave. He made many explorations just to see this scene.
Now, he was immediately relieved.
But the next moment, it seemed that the monkey's posture of picking flowers stimulated the other two parties. The golden halberd emitted golden light, sweeping around. The white jade plaque even flew above the red flower and slowly covered it.
The old demon cultivator watched this scene, gradually reacted, and sighed: "The enemy is powerful."
"However, if these two parties were not so strong, how could I, Xiaoliu, have the opportunity to take advantage of it? Hehehe."
Red Flower Camp.
"What brings you here, General Shuang?" Mulan had a blank expression and a calm look.
Shuang Jing clapped his hands, and his subordinates immediately brought up several huge treasure chests.
These treasure chests all exude a golden elixir-level aura and are obviously storage treasures of the golden elixir level.
Shuang Jing then ordered his subordinates to open the treasure chests one by one, revealing the vast amounts of precious materials, spiritual stones, and even military equipment inside.
Mulan sneered.
Zhang Chongyi has returned to Honghuaying.
She had already learned from the latter that Shuang Jing was plotting against her, and she felt extremely disgusted with Shuang Jing.
Shuang Jing said: "General Mulan, these are only part of the betrothal gifts, what do you think?"
"Given your current situation, you only need one of these boxes to sustain your Red Flower Camp for several months."
Even though Mulan was prepared, she was still so angry that her face turned pale: "You want to marry me too? And then use this relationship to get your hands on the general's seal?"
Shuang Jing's smile froze slightly: "Also?"
Mulan sneered: "Not long ago, Sun Gan sneaked into our military camp and threatened me that if I didn't obey him, he would play the role of the old monster in the stone and create a tragedy in the Red Flower Camp."
"I'm a little curious now."
"Which side of yours played the role of the old monster in the stone that attacked the grain transport team this time?"
Shuang Jing narrowed his eyes slightly and said in a cold voice: "General Mulan, there is no need to lie to me. I would never act like an enemy and attack the grain transport team."
"I don't think Sun Gan would do that either."
"He is the commander of the Golden Halberd Army and one of the commanders of the Royal Capital's Imperial Guards. General Mulan, please be careful with your words!"
Shuang Jing didn't fall into the trap.
Mulan wanted to divert the trouble to others, causing a dispute between Shuang Jing and Sun Gan.
But Shuang Jing grasped the key to the matter: "So, General Mulan, will you choose Sun Gan or me?"
"Although Sun Gan is the commander of the imperial guards, the family background behind him is weak."
Mulan sneered: "The White Jade Camp you mentioned only has a hundred remnants left. Do you still have the nerve to mention it?"
Shuang Jing's expression froze for a moment, but he continued to smile: "With the support of my family, it will only take some time for things to return to their former glory. What do you think, General Mulan?"
Mulan gritted his teeth and stared at Shuang Jing: "During the ambush, your White Jade Camp was in crisis. At the critical moment of life and death, only my Red Flower Camp came to support you."
"You acted like this. You bear the name of the country. Do you really want to repay kindness with enmity?"
Shuang Jing's smile became even wider. It was obvious that he had already prepared for this question. At this moment, he blurted out: "General Mulan is wrong."
"Your army rescued ours. It was indeed a friendship of fighting side by side. Our army paid such a heavy price and successfully held back the enemy's strongest, creating opportunities for the entire battle."
"Now, I see General Mulan is in trouble and I offer a helping hand. How can this be considered repaying kindness with enmity?"
"Enough!" Mulan couldn't stand it anymore and interrupted directly, "Take these things back! Even if I die and the General's Mansion is completely ruined, I will not accept your 'help'!"
Shuang Jing laughed: "I don't believe that you, General Mulan, will watch the fall of the General's Mansion. I also don't believe that you will watch the wounded soldiers of the Red Flower Camp die because of lack of food and wages."

"What I believe is that the conditions I offer are generous enough and are definitely beyond what Sun Gan can offer."
"General Mulan, please consider this carefully."
After Shuang Jing finished speaking, he left with a few of his trusted aides.
However, he did not take back the treasure chests, but left them in Mulan's tent.
Mulan looked gloomy and immediately ordered: "Come here, move these treasure chests away and follow General Shuang Jing back to his mansion."
Several of Mulan's personal soldiers immediately followed the order and went out.
"You!" Shuang Jing turned around and glared at Mulan, then shook his head and sneered, "I want to see how long you can hold on."
Three generals camp.
Ning Zhuo opened the commander's tent and stepped inside: "General Liu, are you looking for me?"
Liu Er warmly invited Ning Zhuo to sit down, and then said with a difficult look on his face: "This is actually a personal matter of mine. I hope you, the military advisor, can give me some advice."
Ning Zhuo felt puzzled and waited for what would happen next.
After Liu Er finished speaking, Ning Zhuo looked strange: "General Liu, did I hear you correctly? Are you saying that you admire General Mulan and fell in love with him at first sight?"
"Yes." Liu Er said calmly, "This time, I saw that General Mulan was in a difficult situation, so I wanted to help her a little."
"But you also know that after the ambush, our army had a very bad impression of the Red Flower Camp. This time, my third brother caused a big disturbance in the Red Flower Camp, which made the relationship worse. Fortunately, you are here, military advisor, otherwise we and General Mulan would have fallen out."
Ning Zhuo held his forehead with his hand and remained silent for a long time.
After a long while, he looked at Liu Er and said, "General, it's a bit difficult for you to help the Red Flower Camp. To be honest, the situation is quite sensitive right now. I don't suggest that we lend a helping hand at this moment."
Liu Er deliberately asked, "Why is that, Military Advisor?"
Ning Zhuo sighed and told Liu Er that Zhang Chongyi had come secretly to seek help, as well as General Mulan's old injury.
Liu Er was shocked: "I didn't expect the details to be so complicated!"
"not good."
A strong sense of sadness appeared on his face. "I didn't expect General Mulan's situation to be so bad, surrounded by powerful enemies. Oh, she must have had a hard time holding on."
“How ironic!”
"The Red Flower Battalion has weakened due to its hard fighting, and is coveted by friendly forces who want to devour it."
"Are the two countries so dirty and dark inside? It's really disappointing!"
Liu Er criticized the dark politics, then stood up with his fist clenched, and said sincerely: "Military Advisor, I have made up my mind!"
"I can't let my beloved fall into such a dangerous situation while I stand by and watch."
"These old men at the Nascent Soul stage don't even consider their own age. They don't really like General Mulan, they just want to get the seal of the Supreme General!"
"I want to save General Mulan from the water and fire!"
Ning Zhuo looked at Liu Er in front of him and praised him in his heart: "Fellow Daoist, fellow Daoist. I didn't expect Liu Er to have such a profound foundation in the righteous Dao! Excellent, really excellent."
Ning Zhuo coughed and told Liu Er about the difficulty: "It is difficult, too difficult for the general to marry his beloved."
Looking across the two countries, there is no half-human-half-demon who can hold a high position in government.
If Liu Er can succeed, it will be the first case of this kind.
And often the first case is the most difficult!
But Liu Er was quite persistent and determined: "I also know the difficulty of this! But, I just heard from you, the military advisor, about Mulan's predicament..."
“This has only inspired my courage and strengthened my determination.”
"General Mulan, how can I watch such a beautiful woman fall into the clutches of the devil?"
Seeing this, Ning Zhuo sighed, his eyes reddened, he stood up excitedly, and took the initiative to hold Liu Er's arm.
He said earnestly, "General Liu is a man of character!"
"If you risk your life to save your loved one and can break free from the shackles of the secular world, it will be a wonderful story."
"I am also angry that General Mulan was bullied. She is a good general. Although the ambush left us with a strong enemy, it was actually a good example of her military law."
"I am quite disappointed with the courts of the two countries."
"The internal fighting in the temple is so shameless, and in the face of a powerful enemy, instead of killing the enemy, they want to attack their comrades. I feel really ashamed!"
"This time, I will do my best to help General Liu defeat Sun Gan and win the favor of the beautiful lady."
Liu Er was overjoyed and sighed: "With the help of the military advisor, great things can be accomplished!"
