However, those cave forces are, after all, the existence of the legendary illusory immortals. Although the royal families of various countries are extremely wealthy in the mortal world, there is still a huge identity gap between their interactions with the immortal caves. From this, the mainland
It is not easy for the royal families of various countries to maintain a good relationship with the cave, and sometimes, the price will be outrageously high!
And when the royal families of some countries fail to meet the requirements of the cave and thus offend the immortals, the only way that awaits them is the destruction of their country and their species.
For example, the Jin Empire, which was in great prosperity more than 400 years ago, was probably destroyed in a flash because it offended the immortals in the cave. On top of the remaining embers, it was under the special care of the forces in the cave.
, respectively established the Great Chu, Great Sui and Sangyang states that today dominate the southeastern part of the continent.
But what is unexpected is that after Emperor Longtai sent the paper letter to the "Blood Cloud Cave", he waited for more than ten days but did not receive a reply from the cave.
The emperor thought that there was something wrong with the Crane Shadow Talisman in the first letter on the way and could not be delivered to the Bloody Cloud Cave Mansion, so he quickly wrote a second letter and delivered it in the same way as the top-grade Crane Shadow Talisman.
After waiting for more than ten days, there was still no news, which made Emperor Longtai feel very depressed. Judging from the situation introduced in the royal secret files that he had come into contact with, generally speaking, the cave had no regard for the Wanli Crane Shadow Talisman.
The speed of feedback is very fast, but now why have I cast two Crane Shadow Talismans in a row, but all of them have just disappeared into the sea?
"Your Majesty, why don't Weichen go there in person?" Qin Baiyu volunteered and said, "Originally, the maintenance of the relationship with Dongfu is the responsibility of Tianjiyuan; Weichen is now a member of Da Chu.
New Imperial Master, Tianji
It is also time for me to go to the 'Blood Cloud Cave' and pay a visit to the old immortal who has always taken care of our Great Chu Empire. Try my best to have a good relationship with him and other immortals in the cave. Please also ask.
Your Majesty approves."
Emperor Longtai, who had been restless, pondered for a moment, nodded solemnly and said: "The Imperial Master's words are good. Anyway, the situation in the empire has stabilized now. Then I would like to trouble the Imperial Master to go there in person. I hope he can go there soon."
Come back quickly, the next strategic plan to attack the barbarian allies depends on the return of the national adviser to abbot."
"Your Majesty, please rest assured. I will come back as soon as I leave."
Qin Baiyu set off for the "Blood Cloud Cave" the next day. As for where the Shangxian Cave Palace is located, it has always been the deepest secret of Tianji Academy. Except for the national masters of each generation, there are
No one knows, not even Emperor Longtai himself.
It's just that Qin Baiyu left with very little trace of him and no trace of his return. He really didn't know what happened in the Blood Cloud Cave, and Emperor Longtai began to feel uneasy in his heart.
In August, when the sweet-scented osmanthus was fragrant, Marquis Wen Lu Zhan received a letter from Lu Bufan, the head of the Lu family in Yunmeng City - it was said that Lu Bufan was about to celebrate his 60th birthday in early October. I hope Lu Zhan would take this opportunity to celebrate his birthday soon.
The purpose of returning to Lu Mansion was to congratulate him on his birthday, but actually to discuss how to resolve the crisis coming from the "Fire Crow Cave Mansion" in the near future.
At this time, half a year had passed since the eighth prince ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor, and counting on his fingers, it had also been two and a half years since Lu Zhan suppressed the Yan Mansion, collected the secret workshop and left Yunmeng City. These two and a half years have passed.
During this period, he fought in the north and south, wandering for hundreds of thousands of miles. He never had the chance to return to his hometown of Yunmeng City to rest.
Now that the overall situation of the empire has been decided, Lu Zhan felt that it was time to return to his hometown to visit.
So he met Emperor Longtai and proposed to take three months' leave to return to his hometown to visit his relatives. At this time, the new king of Chu was planning a large-scale attack on the Barbarian Alliance Empire. This time Emperor Longtai listened to the advice of the imperial advisor and decided to completely defeat Lu Zhan.
excluded from this battle.
Moreover, the new king of Chu wished that Lu Zhan could leave the capital as soon as possible so that he could arrange backup to deal with it calmly, so Emperor Longtai agreed to Marquis Wen's leave without saying a word and gave him an extra three months to allow him to leave.
He took the opportunity to return to Wen County to improve his fiefdom.
Ever since Lu Zhan led the brave army to conquer Fengshan Island Fortress a year and a half ago, Lu Bufan's two sons, the eldest and second young masters of the Lu family, had been allowed to temporarily avoid the battle for the throne.
, gave up business in the capital and returned to Yunmeng City.
The brothers accepted his suggestion and sold out all the businesses in the capital last year, and then the family moved back to Yunmeng City.
Among the people in the Lu family, only Xi Liuzi is left in the capital to take care of the property under Lu Zhan's name.
However, this time when Lu Zhan returned to Yunmeng City, he still brought Xi Liuzi with him. In fact, he was planning to move all his properties from the capital to the fiefdom of Wen County.
This young man had no nostalgia for the prosperous capital city at all. From the beginning, he felt that he was incompatible with this luxurious, glitzy, power-money city, and it was difficult to integrate into it.
Accompanying Lu Zhan when he returned to Wen County was his personal guard regiment, the "Fen Yong Army". This "Fen Yong Army" was hastily formed by the old, weak, sick and disabled from various military camps two years ago, and had only 50,000 people.
Although there has been no expansion under the precautions of Emperor Longtai over the years, after Lu Zhan's careful training in accordance with the contents of "The Complete Book of the Evolution of Heavenly Generals" and the baptism of many battles, he can now be regarded as the most elite of the Great Chu Empire.
of a troop.
In this way, when the autumn wind blew and the leaves on the branches turned yellow, this large army led by Marquis Lu Wen, who was returning to his hometown to visit his relatives, left the capital of Chu in a mighty manner and marched towards the territory of Hongzhou.
On the way back to Yunmeng City, Lu Zhan deliberately changed his itinerary to Hongzhou City, wanting to stay there for two days.
He was going to visit Sima Xingge, the governor of Hongzhou, and Wu Ju, the border marshal. It was because of their recommendations that Lu Zhan achieved what he did today, so Marquis Wen was extremely friendly and grateful to them.
Lu Zhan was born like this. A man's spirit should be based on his pleasure and unbridled grudges. If you are kind to me, you should repay me ten times. If you have evil thoughts towards me, then I'm sorry and you should kill me.
Decide!
When Lu Zhan's troops entered Hongzhou, a large number of people lined the roadside to welcome the arrival of Marquis Wen. At this time, Lu Zhan was already famous among the countries in the East. Especially in Chu State, he was even more famous.
Respected by the people as the first heroic figure.
When they arrived at Hongzhou City, Hongzhou Governor Sima Xingge personally went out of the city ten miles away to greet him.
Three years ago, Lu Zhan came to Hongzhou City as a commoner at a young age. But just three years later, when he came to visit his hometown again, his status and martial arts strength had surpassed Dangdang.
Sima Xing Ge was killed.
Thinking of this, how can we not make people sigh. Fortunately, Governor Sima is open-minded by nature and is not too entangled in his heart. After all, talents come out from generation to generation, and a new generation replaces the old one.
That night, Sima Xingge held a grand banquet for Lu Zhan and his party at the Governor's Mansion. The two sat at the same table, drank wine and talked about Lu Zhan's legendary experiences in the three years since they parted.
"Come on, come on." Sima Xingge raised his wine glass and said to Lu Zhan: "I would like to toast to brother Lu and wish him a prosperous future today. He will become the most dazzling young hero in Hongzhou. I may have more in the future.
I rely on brother Lu."
"No, the Governor is so polite." Lu Zhan said humbly, "I would also like to thank the Governor for his kindness that day."
Sima Xingge drank the glass happily. He patted Lu Zhan on the shoulder and said: "When I first saw you, Marquis Wen, I felt that you were different. I still remember that time when I also placed a banquet in my house.
The night banquet next? That was the first time I saw your elegant demeanor, Lord Marquis. At that time, Marquis Wen fought alone against Cao Zande and several other wealthy men.
What a pleasure it would be to beat him up so hard! At that time, I felt that Brother Lu, you will do great things in the future. Immediately after you came out of the secret realm of the 'Heisha Valley', I got more things in the valley than others.
More than several times, what’s even more remarkable is that not long after leaving the valley, the martial arts reached the realm of energy.”
"At that time, I knew that Brother Lu was definitely not a thing in the pool, haha. Now it is verified that my idea at that time was completely correct. Brother Lu is now not only the number one hero of our Great Chu Empire. He was also favored by the emperor and was
Being granted the title of Marquis of Wen is such an honorable act for one's ancestors!
Lu Zhan smiled and accepted the deliberate praise from the Hongzhou Governor, and then asked: "Grand Governor, why don't you see Marshal Wu Ju here today? Marshal Wu had just broken through to the realm of Huajin two years ago, and Marshal Wu taught me many useful things.
Regarding the cultivation methods and tips of Huajin Realm, I haven’t had the opportunity to thank him properly.”
"Oh, Lao Wu has already rushed to the capital with Jian Cong a few days ago," Sima Xingge replied: "It seems that His Majesty wanted him to rush to the capital as soon as possible to participate in the imperial meeting to discuss the conquest of the barbarian allies. Maybe he copied another
There is a small road to the capital, so you didn't meet him on the way."
Lu Zhan said "Oh", raised his glass and took a sip of wine without saying anything more.
Sima Xingge looked at him and asked in a low voice: "Why, didn't the emperor explain to you, Lord Marquis, that he was going to launch a large-scale attack on the barbarian allies this time?"
Lu Zhan shrugged his shoulders, just smiled lightly, and didn't answer.
His current ambition is to live forever among the sea of clouds and the sky, and he has little interest in disputes such as power, status, and wealth in the mortal world.
Therefore, although he has already noticed his suspicion of Emperor Longtai with his keen intuition, he does not feel much nervous. He even thought that after congratulating Lu Bufan on his birthday, he would ask Emperor Longtai to resign from all idle positions.
He begged for his bones and returned to his fiefdom, Wenjun, to raise them.
Since Emperor Longtai and others are suspicious of him, it doesn't make much sense to stay in the Chu Dynasty any longer. In this case, I will leave and let you have fun. This is what the young man thought in his heart.
Sima Xingge was so sophisticated that he immediately guessed the key point, so he did not dwell on it too much to avoid unnecessary trouble. He just warmly persuaded him to drink and talked about other places in the world.
During the banquet, Lu Zhan and Sima Xingge chatted happily, and that night Lu Zhan stayed at the Governor's Mansion. At noon the next day, Lu Zhan said goodbye to Sima Xingge and returned to his hometown in Yunmeng City.
In the early morning of this day, Lu Bufan led more than 2,000 people from Lu Mansion to greet him in front of the ten-mile long pavilion. When he saw Lu Zhan riding a white horse with a majestic steed, he was majestic and high-spirited, leading tens of thousands of troops.
Come, I can't help but feel excited and burst into tears. The dream of more than ten generations of their Lu family and the glory passed down by their ancestors have finally been realized in Lu Zhan. (To be continued...)
