The protagonist of this crossover film and television series is disrupting the plot again.

Chapter 289 Young Man on a White Horse Drunk in the Spring Breeze 64

If anything were to happen to the Baili family at this time, the Pofeng Army would very likely mutiny, with unimaginable consequences.

Moreover, there's Ye Yun, who has a close relationship with Baili Dongjun and is now at the half-step Divine Travel realm—a rare talent. He had only recently gotten back on the right path, and he didn't want this incident to ruin Ye Yun's future.

Therefore, Baili Dongjun absolutely cannot be allowed to get into trouble during this critical period.

As the only surviving member of the Northern Palace, Yueyao was powerless to cause any trouble. It would be better to go with the flow and let the lovers be together.

However, just to be on the safe side, Xiao Ruofeng still arranged for Yueyao to fake her death, choosing to make Beique a thing of the past.

Now that Baili Dongjun has brought Yueyao back to Xueyue City, they will never step out of Xueyue City again, nor will they affect the conflicts in the martial arts world or the imperial court.

On the contrary, the fact that the imperial court holds such a big handle on the Zhenxi Marquis's mansion can make the Zhenxi Marquis and his son even more loyal to the court.

This was Xiao Ruofeng's true plan.

Although he was compassionate, he was also clear-headed and rational, knowing what was important and what was not, and would never neglect his official duties because of personal feelings.

However, he hopes that everything can be done in a way that is both reasonable and ethical.

But where in this world can you truly find the best of both worlds?

Behind the surface of peace and beauty, there are always people making silent contributions and sacrifices.

And the person who made this sacrifice—was him.

Just like in this incident, Xiao Ruofen considered all aspects.

The safety of Baili Dongjun and Yueyao, Ye Yun's future, the situation in the court, the stability of the Pofeng Army, the loyalty of the Zhenxi Marquis and his son... He even came in person to plead guilty in order to avoid the Dali Temple being implicated.

However, among all these considerations, he left himself no way out.

Xiao Ruofeng has a strong inner strength, but along with that strength comes a strong spirit of sacrifice.

If the only cost of doing something is himself, then he will absolutely do it without hesitation.

For him, personal gains and losses, as well as safety, have never been the most important things.

Therefore, Xiao Ruojin was never worried that Xiao Ruofeng would betray him; at most, he would only do some harmless little things.

Moreover, these little tricks were merely a means for Xiao Ruojin to increase his loyalty.

Within this City of Revelation, what can truly be kept from him?

As the princess of Beique, Xiao Ruojin had ample reason to kill Yueyao the moment she entered Tianqi City. However, he did not make a move. Instead, he put her in Dali Temple with good food and drink. Wasn't this the moment he was waiting for?

Killing Yueyao would come at too high a price; it's not worth causing unrest in the court for the sake of a moment's anger.

If Baili Dongjun really attempts a prison break, should he be punished? Should the Zhenxi Marquis's mansion behind him be dealt with?

Even Ye Yun might be involved. Should he be dealt with as well?

And the matter he values ​​most, which is also the most important issue at present in the court, the reorganization of the Pofeng Army, will also encounter unexpected complications.

But if he lets go, how will he gain the support of the people? How will he govern the country in the future?

So, this ending is quite good.

Princess Beique is ostensibly dead; the mentally unstable Baili Dongjun has retired into seclusion; a major weakness of the Zhenxi Marquis's mansion has been seized; the Pofeng Army has been successfully disbanded and reorganized; and Ye Yun is even more devoted to the cause.

Xiao Ruofeng felt guilty for his actions in private and vowed to be even more loyal in the future.

Once the Dali Temple finds a body and reports it, the matter will be considered closed.

A storm has vanished without a trace!

From beginning to end, Xiao Ruojin suffered no loss whatsoever.

He has always been fearless, but if it can save him some trouble, why not?

If things can be resolved peacefully, why resort to bloodshed?

It's like if the Southern Kingdom and the Northern Barbarian Kingdom directly surrendered their cities and actively embraced the Northern Kingdom, could he refuse and insist on a three-way war with countless deaths and injuries before he would stop?

Correct! That's right!

I'm calling you guys out.

Those ignorant Southern and Northern barbarians!

……

Five years have passed in the blink of an eye.

Over the past five years, Beili has undergone tremendous changes in all aspects, including military, agriculture, economy, science and technology, and education.

The balance between the martial arts world and the imperial court has been completely broken.

Xiao Ruojin's past measures against the martial arts world have yielded remarkable results.

After five years of targeted "ideological guidance" (brainwashing), people in the underworld are no longer as reckless as before.

In addition, the Jianghu Supervision Bureau has been continuously carrying out legal education activities for these Jianghu people, which has made their behavior much more restrained, and abiding by the law is no longer just empty talk.

Of course, there are some who are defiant because of their cultivation level, but what good is that?

Even without Xiao Ruojin's intervention, Ye Yun alone could subdue these troublemakers. Not to mention, the predecessor of the Jianghu Supervision Bureau was the Dark River and the Shadow Sect, and they had many ways to govern people.

Therefore, the campaign to "rectify the atmosphere of the martial arts world and establish a new style of martial arts" went very smoothly.

In the end, some martial arts figures even shouted the slogan "The greatest heroes are those who serve their country and its people" and volunteered to join the army. This heroic act put the others in the martial arts world in a dilemma.

We were all living a carefree life in the martial arts world, but now that you've called out to us, are we going or not?

To be honest, military camps are not as free as the martial arts world; you have to follow orders in everything you do.

If we say we shouldn't go, then what if they say, "The greatest heroes are those who serve their country and its people"? Wouldn't it make us seem less "heroic" if we didn't go?

But then I thought about it again, and it seemed like there wasn't much point in navigating this world anymore.

The number one in the world has already declared himself emperor in the imperial court, while they fight and struggle in this martial arts world, ultimately only vying for the title of second place.

Oh, wait a minute!

And Mr. Li too.

Therefore, they can only compete for third place...

No, there's another person on the island named Mo Yi, whose martial arts skills are no less than the previous two.

Therefore, they can only compete for fourth place...

Oh, I just remembered! The fourth one is already taken.

Five years ago, Ye Dingzhi had already entered the half-step Divine Travel Realm, and now he has made even greater progress. Although he has not yet stepped into the Divine Travel Profound Realm, his cultivation level is far beyond that of ordinary half-step Divine Travelers.

Moreover, after Ye Dingzhi, there are Xiao Ruofeng, who wields the Heaven-Slaying Sword and cultivates the Rifting Kingdom Sword Technique, as well as the current Silver-Clad Lord Lei Mengsha, the former Dark River Umbrella-Holding Ghost Su Muyu, and many other masters.

So what else can they argue about?

I can't win anything!

Regarding this shift in the atmosphere of the martial arts world, the older generation might still be able to discern some of the imperial court's intentions, and thus manage to remain calm.

But those passionate young people who usually listened to operas about loyalty to the country were easily swayed by such a stimulus and began to consider joining the army.

Suddenly, a surge of people joined the army in the north.
