You are already cultivating immortality, who would fight with you alone?

"Capital, capital again, what exactly is capital?" Liu Yuntian smiled as he lay on the ground, his arms resting behind his head, looking up at the starry sky, feeling a thousand emotions in his heart. He said slowly, "I don't know either, no one knows. It can't be seen, touched, described, or expressed. It has always existed, but no one can control it. On the contrary, it controls humans."

At this time, the woman's mouth corners slightly raised, revealing a wicked smile. She snuggled mischievously in Liu Yuntian's arms and asked softly: "Do you want to become capital and enslave everyone?"

Liu Yuntian shook his head gently and answered seriously: "No, it's the capitalists. No one can become capital." After that, he broke free from the woman's arms, stood up from the ground, and continued to explain: "You can understand capitalists as sheepdogs. They control the fate of the sheep, but they can never control their own fate."

The woman pouts and sits on the ground, a little unhappy on her face, mumbling: "What's wrong with you? Did you castrate yourself to please your emperor?"

Liu Yuntian spread his hands helplessly and said with a wry smile: "I just can't convince myself to have ambiguous actions with a centenarian."

The woman's eyes widened, she looked at Liu Yuntian in disbelief, and said angrily: "A centenarian?! I'm in the Spiritual Transformation Stage! I have a lifespan of a thousand years!"

Liu Yuntian smiled slightly, revealing a teasing look. He shook his head gently and responded: "So what? This can't change the fact that you are a hundred years older than me." There was a hint of teasing in his voice.

When the woman heard this, she stomped her feet in anger. She stood up suddenly, glared at Liu Yuntian and shouted, "You heartless guy! How dare you say that to me? If it weren't for me, you would still be kneeling down and begging for mercy from the assassin!" Her cheeks turned red with anger.

Liu Yuntian's mouth twitched slightly, and he quickly explained: "I'm not begging for mercy, I'm just stalling for time! Even if you don't save me, my men will find me!"

However, the woman didn't seem to buy it and continued to stare at Liu Yuntian angrily. Liu Yuntian sighed helplessly and said, "Well, thank you for saving my life, lady. Do you want to hear a new story?"

Hearing this, the woman's expression instantly became excited, as if she had forgotten her previous anger. She couldn't wait to ask, "What's the story?" Her eyes flashed with curiosity and anticipation.

"Lin Daiyu uprooted a weeping willow tree..."

......

In the streets of the capital city.

Qi Xing sat on the eaves, staring blankly at the sky, not knowing what he was thinking about. His younger brother Qi Sheng jumped onto the roof and sat next to him.

"What's wrong? Are you still distracted while doing your errand for Mr. Liu?"

Qi Xing turned his head to look at his brother, then looked up at the sky again, "Fu Xin is dead." As he said that, he pulled the cloak on his shoulders towards his neck.

"Alas, there are always deaths in the capital. I thought you were used to it."

Qi Xing shook his head. "Fu Xin is different. He was the first person to follow Liu Gong, but when he died, Liu Gong did not feel any sadness... It was as if just an insignificant person had died."

Qi Sheng lowered his head and pursed his lips, then suddenly looked up at Qi Xing, "Do you feel they are strange?"

"what?"

Qi Sheng looked around for a while, "You sixteen guards!" He spread the hem of his skirt over his legs and leaned closer to his brother Qi Xing, "I always feel that except for you, the other fifteen are like puppets, serious and serious. I have never even seen them communicate with each other!"

"They're like that, you know beggars?"

Qi Sheng shook his head, and Qi Xing continued, "Before they met Mr. Liu, their limbs were broken and they were thrown on the street to beg. They were tortured to the point where they looked like no human beings at all. They were not allowed to talk to passers-by, and they were not allowed to eat if they could not beg for money. It was Mr. Liu who saved them."

"Their aptitude is very poor, and their spiritual roots are not even complete, but Lord Liu still spent a lot of resources to help them become Jindan powerhouses. They only live for the three words Liu Yuntian in their lives. In my impression, they have always been dull and taciturn. Apart from Lord Liu's orders, they don't listen to anyone else."

"Then they died a worthy death, didn't they? You should be happy for him."

Qi Sheng consoled them, “They are willing to die for the people most important to them.”

Qi Xing lowered his head and muttered, "If I die in battle one day, will Liu Gong be sad?"

"I don't know...but my father, my second sister and I must be very sad."

Qi Xing burst out laughing, "You little brat, do I need you to tell me?" Then his expression became serious again, "Our Qi family has been generals for generations, but Daliang was very weak ten years ago. At that time, my father often lost battles and was depressed every day. He always said that he was a shame to the Qi family..."

"But I know it's not his fault. With an army of over 100,000 soldiers facing an enemy army of several hundred thousand, and always lacking food and money, it would be a miracle if they could win the battle!"

"At that time, I was thinking, if there is someone who can lead us to victory and live without humiliation, then I, Qi Xing, will follow him for the rest of my life!"

"When Lord Liu showed up, I was very happy and excited. Along the way, Daliang became stronger every day. Dozens of countries were fighting each other, and Daliang stood out. We destroyed and annexed countries one by one until we became the strongest country in the northern border. We can even compete with the immortal sect now."

At this point, Qi Xingduan looked at his hands and said, "I have killed many people, and I have also worked hard to become stronger. I dare not slack off for a moment, but I always feel that I am falling behind Mr. Liu. I can even feel that one day in the future I will not be qualified to stand by his side..."

"Until one day, Liu Gong will forget that there was a man named Qi Xing beside him...who was once loyal to him..."

Qi Sheng felt distressed when he saw his brother's look. In his impression, his brother was the second pillar of the Qi family. No matter what he said, he would do it. It was the first time he saw his brother so dejected.

He raised his hand and hugged his brother's shoulders, patting him hard. "Father often said that if you want to achieve great things, you can't care about gains and losses. This is especially true when it comes to the most critical moments. Liu Gong is holding up the whole thing by himself. If he just cries like you, what should we do? The stronger he is, the safer we are, right?"

Qi Xing was stunned for a moment, then sneered, pushed his brother's arm away, and scolded him with a smile, "You still want to educate me?"

"Captain Qi, General Qi, you look so leisurely."

"Ta-ta."

A woman in black brocade clothes landed on the roof, making the tiles clatter under her feet, and said teasingly.
