After the meal, Zi Ruo checked Wu Kong's pulse. His body was very different from before, his pulse was stronger, and his true qi was thicker. It was like he had eaten a pill that strengthened his heart.

His Zhen Qi had already reached the Immortal level but the Zhen Qi stone had not been completely refined. However, as long as he had enough time, he would be able to ascend to the next level. This was truly a joyous event for him.

"Oh right, how did we get to River City? Was it Hao Jin Kingdom that has already won? " Wu Kong remembered what happened before he fainted and could not help but ask. The moment he said those words, everyone fell silent.

Luo Liya looked at the innocent Wu Kong. She wanted to tell him the truth, but she also knew that the truth was too cruel that even she could not bear to tell it. Could Wu Kong, a pure and innocent man, bear the fact that all the soldiers in Yin City had perished in battle?

Seeing them fall silent, Wu Kong suddenly had a bad premonition. His two black eyeballs stared at Luo Li without moving, "Elder sister, what happened?"

She blinked her eyes and pursed her lips: "That time when I saved you, Yin City had already fallen, everyone including General Lan Ruo He was annihilated. I thought that I could defend Kuangcheng later on, when Senior Lu Qingyi went to duel with Qingyu and was captured by them, although Qing Yun Country had finally withdrawn their troops, I don't know when Dongli Zhen had already sent his troops to besiege the Imperial City and the Imperial City, all the troops were transferred to Kuangcheng and Via City, thus the fall of Yin City, Golden Emperor had given himself up, all the ministers surrendered now … "Haojin Kingdom has already become a vassal of Loess Kingdom and is being controlled by the crown prince of Loess Kingdom, Huang Shangde."

Zi Ruo recounted the whole story as concisely as she could. When Wu Kong heard it, his expression became worse and worse, especially when he heard that everyone, including Lan Ruo, had been annihilated. The pain on his face was difficult to conceal.

In just a few days, so many things had happened. For a moment, Wu Kong found it hard to accept, his mind was dizzy, he even felt that everything in front of him was a dream, and what Zi Ruo said didn't even happen in reality.

He stretched out his hand and pinched his thigh with great force. The sharp pain made him realize that all of this was real.

Luo Liya looked at Wu Kong's actions. How could she not know what he was doing? However, she still chose to remain silent. At this moment, if there was even a trace of a fuse, Wu Kong's entire body would explode.

He was such a kind person.

"I'm tired, I want to go back and rest." After a long while, Wu Kong finally opened his mouth and said with his eyes lowered. There was not much expression on his face.

They all knew he was having a hard time accepting this, and he had just woken up, his mind still working, so they urged him to go back and rest, and Luo Liya had her servant take him back to his room instead of following him. What he needed now was complete silence.

"If you knew his reaction would be so huge, you shouldn't have told him." Ye Yingtian pouted and said with a worried expression.

"But he will know sooner or later. It would be better to tell him now that he has enough time to sort out his emotions." Wei Xi disagreed with Ye Yingtian's words. His eyes revealed a hint of clarity.

"Yes, our priority right now should be on how we're going to deal with Dong Li Zhen. I thought it would still be a few days before Wu Kong wakes up, but I didn't expect him to wake up so soon." Previously, she was worried about Wu Kong's injuries, so Luo Liya suggested that they start recuperating first. However, since Wu Kong had given them face and awoken early, they should take action now.

"You guys are so lively. What are you discussing here?" The clear male voice pulled everyone back from their silence. Luo Liya looked over and saw Fu Dongming walking at the front with light steps, followed by a middle-aged man and two bodyguards.

If he looked carefully, wasn't that middle-aged man Fu Quan whom he hadn't seen for a long time?

It turned out that Fu Dongming came home yesterday and gave Fu Quan a good scare. After a detailed explanation, he found out that his son was actually doing such an earth-shattering thing. When he heard that Luo Liya and the others had also returned to River City, he decided to pay them a visit today.

"City Lord Fu!" Fu Quan nodded and scanned the crowd one by one. Finally, he turned his probing gaze to the wall and looked at him with a smile in his eyes.

"This is our friend Wei Xi." Seeing the two of them looking at each other, Luo Liya hurriedly introduced them.

"Hello, I am River City's Mayor Fu Quan." Fu Quan spoke without any arrogance. A faint smile appeared in his eyes. At the same time, Wei Xi also clasped his hands at him, "Junior Wei Xi greets City Lord."

Seeing how courteous Wei Xi was caused Fu Quan to be extremely shocked. Because he had a head full of white hair, only his appearance was as handsome as a youth. He thought that Wei Xi was a middle-aged man that was about his age.

Sensing the astonishment on Fu Quan's face, Fu Dongming quickly introduced, "Dad, this is a young man with white hair. He's about my age."

Fu Quan nodded in realization, "So that's how it is."

"I've come uninvited today because I wanted to meet all of you. I haven't seen you for many days, but I never would have thought that all of you would be so promising." Fu Quan continued to smile. The corners of his mouth curled up as he stood with his hands behind his back. His official uniform made him look more elegant than ever.

Before Luo Liya could reply, he asked curiously, "Eh? What about Wu Kong?

Fu Dongming did not tell Fu Quan about Wu Kong being unconscious. Just as he was about to explain, he heard Luo Liya reply, "He was injured and is currently resting in his room."

Hearing Luo Liya's words, Fu Quan's face showed a hint of understanding, but Fu Dongming frowned as he looked at Luo Liya with a puzzled expression. Yue Ling quickly explained, "Wukong woke up this morning, and didn't have the time to inform you before you and the City Lord came here."

Fu Dongming raised his head up to show that he understood, and the corner of his mouth twitched, "So, is he okay now?"

"He's in pretty good shape, but after hearing about what happened in the past few days, he can't take it anymore." Fu Dongming's face immediately revealed a trace of worry, but he also thought that with Wu Kong's adaptability, he should be able to figure it out soon. He was not in a hurry. That trace of worry gradually disappeared.

"Fourth Miss Luo, aside from exchanging pleasantries with you, I have another reason for coming here today." Fu Quan finally got to the point and pursed his lips.

Luo Liya slightly frowned. Usually Fu Quan would call her by her name, but today he deliberately said the three words "Fourth Miss Luo".

"Mayor, please speak your mind." Luo Liya's thin lips slightly lifted, her face did not have many expressions, and she seemed very relaxed. After experiencing so many incredible things, she was now able to calmly accept everything.

Now that the Loess Country has annexed the Haojin Country, although it is the crown prince of the Loess Country, everyone can see that the real culprit behind this matter is Dongliu Zhenren, and the Loess Country is just a tool he used. His next target could be the Loess Country, and it could also be the Blue Water Country, and at that time, Jiangcheng and the other cities might be in turmoil as well, and Jiang Cheng and the other cities might have experienced the poison of the Void Parasite, and even now they have not fully recovered.

Ever since the fall of the Haojin Kingdom, he had been unable to eat or sleep in peace. After hearing Fu Dongming's words yesterday, he was fully aware of the benefits and disadvantages within. Now that River City was in a precarious situation, if he did not act now, he might just sit there and wait for death.

Right now, River City was indeed in danger, and she could not guess where Dongli Zhenren's next target would be. This person, had never played according to the rules, and in the end, they were also powerless, so before they could even react to it, he had already stepped in and obtained what they wanted.

"Mayor Fu's words are very reasonable, but it's an important military matter. My father never allowed me to ask about it, and I don't have the authority or qualifications to do so. If I say anything in front of him, it's very possible that I won't be able to do it."

Although Luo Yan doted on her and wanted to teach her all of her skills, allowing her to inherit his legacy, when it came to matters that involved the lives of many people, he always had his own opinions. Luo Liya was at a loss for words.

"I know that I have already given him a document explaining the benefits of this matter, but he did not agree. He said that if we were to send troops from other counties over, perhaps Dong Li Hao would take the opportunity to attack other counties. The matter of Hao Jin Kingdom is a lesson, but if he did not send out his troops, Huo Yao Kingdom would seize the opportunity to attack Jiang Cheng. During the war, they never left River City. Could it be that they changed back to a larger war? "

The more Fu Quan spoke, the more agitated he became. After he finished speaking, he tightly pursed his lips, his eyes flashed with a deep light. After he finished speaking with a sense of righteousness, Luo Liya and the others were all stunned.

"Dad, don't make things difficult for Liya, she doesn't know what to say, and there must be a reason for Lord Military Commander's actions. You don't need to worry too much, we're still here, I don't believe that EastLi Zhen would dare do anything to River City."

Fu Dongming first tried to persuade Fu Quan, but it soon turned into relief and promise. Fu Quan's originally very serious face loosened up a little after hearing Fu Dongming's words, and he sighed, "But if this goes on, your father will really go crazy. It would be better to have a good time while worrying about the safety of the people and unable to eat or sleep. I've had enough of this."

Fu Quan was no longer standing with his hands behind his back. The dejection in his eyes was getting deeper and deeper. His face was also dejected. It was obvious that he was extremely dejected.

However, the moment Fu Quan spoke out to support others, he became more and more convinced that Dong Li Zhen would attack River City in the next moment. After all, Dong Li Zhen had once suffered a loss here and lost to the State of Clear Water, so he definitely wanted to return the favor tenfold in the future.

"City Lord, there is no need to worry. We are currently discussing countermeasures, and we will not abandon the citizens of River City, nor the citizens of the Blue Water Nation."

Zi Ruo said indifferently, her eyes heavy.
