Chapter 204 The plot begins
When Fan Xian killed someone for the first time, he was so nervous and flustered that he completely forgot to clean up the scene.
When he finally calmed down and returned to the place, he only saw a house engulfed in flames.
The flames soared into the sky, illuminating half of the night. Fan Xian stared blankly at the scene before him, momentarily lost in thought.
From that day on, the Fan family lost Steward Zhou. After experiencing this incident, Fan Xian also deeply realized a cruel truth: if you want to completely eliminate hidden dangers, you must nip them in the bud, otherwise they will leave endless troubles.
After the turmoil subsided, life gradually returned to its usual tranquility.
Fan Xian's daily task was to follow Ji Lin and diligently practice martial arts. During this period of about a year, Ji Lin not only carefully taught Fan Xian martial arts, but also closely followed the progress of Huo Qubing, Zhuge Liang and others.
After nearly a year of bloody battles, Huo Qubing and Zhuge Liang led their army with unstoppable momentum, successfully incorporating many surrounding countries of Northern Qi and Southern Qing into their territory and establishing a brand new kingdom—the Dragon Kingdom.
At the same time, Shen Wansan's Zhutian Restaurant and the mysterious and powerful Jinyiwei organization also moved their headquarters to the territory of the Dragon Kingdom.
Thus, the world of Joy of Life is now divided into three powers: Southern Qing, where Fan Xian resides; the powerful Northern Qi; and the newly rising Dragon Kingdom.
However, nestled between these three major powers, there exists a tenacious city called Dongyi, which clings to life like a stubborn nail firmly anchored to this ever-changing continent.
At the beginning of the establishment of the Dragon Kingdom, the intelligence organizations of the Northern Qi and Southern Qing were eager to make moves, and sent their elite personnel to try to infiltrate the Dragon Kingdom in order to find out the true strength of this emerging country.
However, their plans were repeatedly thwarted because the Dragon Kingdom possessed a powerful and mysterious Imperial Guard organization, which was like an impregnable fortress, intercepting all spies attempting to cross the border.
At the same time, Ji Lin was well aware of the delicate situation, and he decisively sent his capable subordinate Huan'er to the Dragon Kingdom to take charge.
With her extraordinary wisdom and outstanding abilities, Huan'er successfully assisted Zhuge Liang in handling a series of thorny issues.
Time flies, the years are like a shuttle.
In the blink of an eye, Fan Xian turned sixteen, and the exciting storyline of "Joy of Life" officially began.
Fan Xian resolutely embarked on the long journey to the capital of Nanqing.
At the gate of the Fan residence, Fan Xian bid farewell to Old Madam Fan with deep reluctance. His gaze was firm, yet he could not hide the sorrow of parting in his eyes.
Beside him, a group of guards clad in heavy red armor stood like an iron wall, protecting the young man who was about to embark on a long journey.
Then, Fan Xian slowly boarded the carriage, the wheels rolled, raising a cloud of dust, and it gradually drove away.
At this moment, besides the people from the Fan family seeing him off, there were several figures hidden in the shadows, silently watching Fan Xian's departing figure.
Ji Lin, along with Ye Qingmei and Wu Zhu, came to see them off. Ji Lin glanced sideways and saw Ye Qingmei beside him sobbing softly, tears streaming down her cheeks like broken pearls.
Perhaps this is the heartache and longing that every mother feels when she witnesses her child leaving her side.
"Okay, stop crying. It's not like it's a matter of life and death. You'll be able to see your son again in a while."
Ji Lin looked at the woman in front of him, who was crying with tears streaming down her face, and gently comforted her. His gentle voice seemed to have a magical power, making people calm down involuntarily.
As soon as he finished speaking, Ji Lin waved his hands, and a dazzling light suddenly shone.
Immediately afterwards, he, along with Ye Qingmei and Wu Zhu, vanished from their original spot like ghosts in a flash. The next moment, they had crossed thousands of mountains and rivers and appeared in the distant Dragon Kingdom.
Since the establishment of the Dragon Kingdom, this land has become increasingly prosperous.
Back then, Shen Wansan and his Jinyiwei (Imperial Guard) organization traveled thousands of miles to this place, making great contributions to the development of the country.
After that, every year Shen Wansan would send his capable subordinate Qinglong with a storage ring to present to Ji Lin.
This small, seemingly ordinary ring contains most of the wealth that Shen Wansan earned through his hard work each year.
However, Ji Lin had other plans for these enormous treasures, and he unhesitatingly invested them all in a mysterious lottery event.
Day after day, year after year, the mountains of gold and silver jewelry were continuously transformed into lottery chips.
The current imperial court of the Dragon Kingdom is filled with talented individuals and a constellation of brilliant minds.
On the civil service front, there were the resourceful Zhuge Liang, the shrewd Pang Tong, the upright and honest Yu Qian, and the brilliant Guo Jia, among other virtuous ministers.
Among the military generals were Huo Qubing, whose bravery surpassed that of the three armies; Meng Tian, whose might shook the frontiers; Han Xin, whose military strategy was divine; and Yue Fei, who was loyal to his country.
Moreover, the Dragon Kingdom's army is incredibly powerful, possessing renowned elite troops such as the White Horse Cavalry, the fearless Wei Warriors, the unstoppable Trapped Camp, and the disciplined Yue Family Army, among many other highly capable units.
At this moment, the entire Dragon Kingdom already possesses the formidable strength to sweep across the world and unify the land.
Upon arriving in the Dragon Kingdom, Ji Lin immediately summoned all the civil and military officials to discuss the grand plan of launching a war of unification. In the spacious and bright hall, everyone was gathered together, and the atmosphere was exceptionally enthusiastic.
The civil and military officials expressed their opinions, elaborating on their strategic plans and tactics for this war.
Some advocated a steady and methodical approach, gradually eroding the surrounding forces; others strongly advocated a surprise attack, aiming to swiftly defeat the enemy with overwhelming force... For a time, all sorts of ingenious ideas emerged one after another, leaving people overwhelmed.
Immediately afterwards, Ji Lin made a decision without hesitation. He overruled the objections of others and appointed Zhuge Liang as the commander-in-chief of this war of unification.
This decision meant that the command of the entire unification war was handed over to Zhuge Liang, allowing him to take full responsibility for and coordinate all matters related to the unification war.
As for Ji Lin himself, he did not stay in the Dragon Kingdom to personally oversee the battle, but instead chose to take Ye Qingmei and Wu Zhu with him on the journey to the temple.
In the fantasy and political intrigue world of "Joy of Life," the temple is like a mysterious and powerful fortress, possessing unparalleled power, undoubtedly becoming the most powerful and insurmountable enemy on the road to unification of the Dragon Kingdom.
Therefore, in order to achieve the unification of the Dragon Kingdom, eliminating this temple became the most urgent and important task.
At this moment, with his unfathomable power, Ji Lin could easily annihilate the seemingly indestructible temple in one fell swoop.
However, although the temple was destined to be destroyed, the amazing high-tech products and valuable knowledge contained within it have extremely high preservation value.
If we were to destroy them completely without regard for the consequences, these precious resources would vanish into thin air, which would undoubtedly be a tremendous waste.
After all, these technological achievements may bring endless possibilities and a huge impetus to future development.
