Seeing the cool lake water in front of him, Li Ming cheered and threw the package to the ground, then quickly took off the robe outside, jumped into the lake with his bare shirt. Suddenly, the cold lake water drove away the heat. Li Ming felt comfortable under the water and didn't want to show up.

Lin Long smiled secretly with his lips pursed, picked up the package on the ground, made it under the shade of a weeping willow tree, experiencing the gusts of water vapor from the breeze, and slowly untied the slip knot outside the package.

Li Ming dived underground for several minutes before he could see his head still unfulfilled, swimming happily in the water while observing the clear spring in the desert.

It looks completely different from the night. The lakes under the sun are particularly beautiful. The rippling waves flash on the water like strings of diamonds. The weeping willows and grass on both sides look particularly green. The small woods not far away look so green and deep. Looking at the scene in front of you, it is like a little bit of traces from the desert when you arrive at Li Ming’s Biquan Island.

The area of ​​this lake wave is not too large. According to Li Ming's estimate, the diameter is only about 200 meters. On the shore of the lake, there seems to be a gap on the other side of the lake, through which the lake water is flowing to an unknown place.

Seeing this, Li Ming couldn't help but feel a little strange. How could there be such a lake in this desert? Logically speaking, the lakes in the desert are usually formed by underground rivers and surging areas. In this way, there must be a spring in this lake.

Thinking of this, Li Ming suddenly became interested. Since that flood, he has learned to use internal energy instead of breathing to supplement the energy needs of various parts of his body. Therefore, it is no problem for him to dive under the water for an hour. It is precisely because of this that he has become interested in exploring the spring.

At this time, he had gradually swam into the middle of the lake. In order not to worry Lin Long, he needed to notify her, otherwise Lin Long would think that he was missing, which was not a joke. Therefore, he observed Lin Long's direction and began to swim towards the shore.

However, before he could swim a few times, Lin Long on the other side suddenly shouted anxiously: "Brother, come and see what this is. Hurry up. How can there be such a thing in this package?"

Li Ming was shocked and couldn't help but feel a little panicked. Lin Long has always been calm and would not panic even if he encountered big things. But now she is so out of control, which shows that what she found is really important.

So, he didn't care to explore the spring anymore. He swam over Lin Long's direction with all his strength. When he was more than ten meters away from the shore, he exerted force in the water, and his whole body rose into the air and landed lightly beside Lin Long.

Lin Long immediately stood up, holding the package in his hand, looking at Li Ming and said anxiously: "Brother, look, you will definitely be interested in the content here."

Looking at Lin Long's excited and slightly anxious expression, Li Ming couldn't help but be curious. He hurriedly took out the package, then sat on the ground, took out the yellowed notebook in the package, opened the first page and glanced.

Suddenly, his eyes suddenly became straight as if he had been hit by a talisman.

Because under his sight, a familiar name flashed into his eyes: the Golden God of War.

Golden God of War! A name that once saved them, a martial arts master and a legendary figure, how could his name appear here?

Li Ming shook his head and forced himself to accept the reality in front of him. Then, he lowered his head again and began to concentrate on looking at the worn-out book in his hand.

This booklet is not too thick, and it is written in small calligraphy, so the content is not too much. However, Li Ming reads it very carefully and slowly, and frowns from time to time and thinks for a while. Therefore, it took him two hours to slowly close the booklet, then close his eyes, and unable to say a word for a long time. When Li Ming was studying the booklet carefully, Lin Long also looked at it carefully, and on her face, it seemed that most of the curiosity was revealed.

Li Ming sat in the same place for a long time, then sighed a long time, turned his head to look at Lin Long, and said sadly: "I really didn't expect that a generation of strange people, the Golden God of War, would have done so many things. It seems that the old man yesterday was a side branch left by the Golden God of War."

Lin Long smiled, nodded slightly and said, "That's for sure, otherwise how could the people here have the martial arts of the Tang Dynasty? But I'm very surprised, what was the purpose of the Golden God of War doing this? If he didn't do this, he would probably not be buried in the dense forest of Linzhou. But then again, if he didn't die there, we people would never be able to get out of that formation. Speaking of which, this is really God's will."

Li Ming smiled bitterly, then shook his head slightly, and sighed in a low voice: "You don't understand this matter. He did this for his purpose. To be honest, I was not really impressed by him until now. His behavior may be truly called chivalrous. Alas, I really fascinated me. Long'er, put this manuscript away. When I go back, I will definitely fulfill his wish. I just don't know if the Golden War Temple still existed."

Lin Long shook his head slightly and said, "I heard from my father that the Golden War God Temple was destroyed by his enemies shortly after the Golden War God disappeared. Now, I'm afraid there will be no ruins."

Li Ming sighed and nodded, looking into the distance, dazed and wondering what he was thinking.

On the evening of that day, just as Li Ming was following the guards from the west to learn the local language, a slight sound of footsteps suddenly came from the door, and then the old man quickly appeared at his door.

Yi Yi, who was standing beside him, was about to speak out, but Li Ming stopped him. The old man walked into the room and looked at Li Ming with anticipation, trying to find some information on Li Ming's face.

Li Ming stood up, looked at the old man and smiled slightly, and then said, "I've seen the thing. It seems that you are the sect passed down by the Golden God of War."

The old man's eyes suddenly became wet. He trembled with his lips and his face was trembling with excitement. Looking at Li Ming, he would nod repeatedly, but he could not say a word in his mouth.

Li Ming patted his shoulder comfortably, then helped him sit down on the chair next to him, and asked the maid to bring him a glass of goat milk, and then waited quietly for him to calm down.

After a long time, the old man slowly calmed down his excitement, picked up the goat milk next to him and drank it all, then sighed a long time, looked at Li Ming and said with emotion: "It's been so many years, I have completed the explanation of my ancestors. My master, I don't regret it."

Li Ming smiled and said, "Don't worry, I will definitely send the manual back to the Golden God of War Temple as mentioned above. Even if the Golden God of War Temple does not exist, I will look for descendants of the Golden God of War. This senior is really admirable. By the way, what's your name?"

The old man hurriedly stood up, bowed respectfully to Li Ming, and then said, "Thank you, thank you. You don't understand my name, but I have a name, yours, Chen Tu."

Li Ming was stunned and then laughed: "Dun? Haha, this name is just right. There is so much dust in this place. Okay, Chen Tu, your mission has been completed, so what else do you need to do next?"

Chen Tu wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes with his sleeve, and then said respectfully to Li Ming: "Guardian, here, the ancestors, let me explain."

"Oh?" Li Ming felt very interesting, but then a light flashed in his mind, which surprised and delighted. He asked hurriedly: "What you mean is that the Golden God of War once told you, a side branch, to protect the residents here, so as not to be harmed. Is that true? Since that is the case, why did you hand over such an important matter to me? I have occupied this city, and you should treat me as an enemy."

Chen Tu hurriedly got up, with a look of panic on his face, and said, "No, you, no, kill, civilians. Ancestors, no protection, city lord, I don't care about them."

Li Ming suddenly realized and laughed at Chen Tu, "I understand what you mean. So, you will not pay attention to the war. As long as we don't kill civilians indiscriminately? Then Chen Tu, are you willing to let the residents here live a better life?"

Chen Tu nodded hurriedly and said, "I am willing, you are, your ancestors, and your tribe members. Here, my tribe members, we, a family, I will listen to you."

Li Ming laughed again and said, "Chen Tu, I didn't expect you to be really enlightened. This is easy to deal with. Since the Golden God of War asked you to protect this land, your prestige must be very high here. So, are you willing to help me persuade the residents here to stop resisting? You know, I don't want to kill them, but if they resist and threaten us, I will have to take action. Therefore, I hope you can persuade them and make them obey me. I can assure you that if I am the city lord, their life will definitely be much better than before."

Li Ming's words were obviously a bit difficult for Chen Tu, so after Li Ming finished speaking, he was still there to understand Li Ming's intentions. However, at this time, the guard from the west understood Li Ming's meaning first and shouted from the side: "General, you can't do this. The city lord said that this city belongs to us, not to yours, and you can't be the city lord." The guard's Tang words were much better than Chen Tu, so the meaning of the expression was very clear.

Li Ming's face sank, he looked at the guard coldly, then turned his eyes to Yi Yi, and ordered: "Come on, lock up this big or small thing, and don't let him move around for the time being."

In the shock of the guard, several personal guards came forward and dragged him away forcibly. At this time, Chen Tu also roughly understood what Li Ming meant. After verifying with Li Ming, he immediately stood up and patted his chest and said, "Give it to me, I can, two days, I will come to you." After that, he bowed deeply to Li Ming, and then quickly disappeared.

After seeing Chen Tu off, Li Ming turned his head and continued to learn the local language, but it was time for him to discover that the only guard who could be his language teacher had been locked up by him.

Li Ming couldn't help but smile bitterly, and he also remembered the other side of the Northern Xinjiang City. When he was negotiating with Xilai, he once said that Xilai provided him with food and water, and he captured Yunsha City and handed it over to Xilai. But now, seeing the scale and prosperity of Yunsha City made Li Ming feel a little reluctant in his heart. Having such a city in this endless desert is equivalent to having life guaranteed. And if he obediently handed over the city to Xilai, it would be equivalent to handing over the lives of these people back to the hands of a white man, which is unbearable for Li Ming now. Therefore, he began to shake his previous agreement.

However, after all, he had just accepted this city. In addition to the wealth and food in the city, there were still more than 100,000 potential enemies lurking beside him. If he had a falling out with Xilai at this time, he might be in danger of being attacked on both sides. What's more, his more than 300 truckloads of supplies were still placed outside the Northern Xinjiang city. Li Ming would never be willing to leave these things, so he would have to do it perfunctorily for the time being. At this point, Li Ming no longer felt guilty at this point. After all, politics is like this. Since he chose this path, he should completely adapt to this point. In this world, there are no eternal friends or eternal enemies. Therefore, Li Ming would never hand over his lifeline to Xilai.

Thinking of this, he immediately stood up and ordered Yi Yi outside the door: "Come, pass on my order, draw out five thousand finely-covered laborers from Yunsha City, and then draw out one thousand from the current personal guards, escort these laborers, drive a thousand camels, and rush back to Beijiang City overnight to transport our supplies here as soon as possible, and give instructions. If Beijiang City dares to stop you, I will kill me without mercy. There are only less than two thousand scattered soldiers left in their city, and I believe they will definitely not be our opponent. As for Yunsha City, let the more than a thousand soldiers in Beijiang City assist in the defense."
