Volume IV Three Southern Counties Chapter 436 Gathering in Shuizhou County
Confucian scholars heard the news and came from afar to express their condolences.
Throughout Yiyun County, there were many more Confucian scholars wearing sackcloth and wearing filial piety.
The county town has a touch of paleness.
On the third day, Master Xu was buried.
Countless people walked out of Yiyun County and reached the foot of the mountain.
Then, Lu Jiuzhang, Lu Junxian, the second senior brother and three other senior scholars, as well as other great scholars, carried the coffin to Master Xu for burial.
Those who saw Master Xu off on his last journey all stayed at the foot of the mountain.
Lu Jiuzhang said that Master Xu likes purity.
On the top of the mountain, there were almost a hundred or so people standing.
Senior brother Wu Rendi did not come back, so everyone has been waiting.
Suddenly, a stream of light pierced the sky.
Immediately afterwards, that familiar figure appeared in front of everyone.
It's Wu Rendi!
He is back.
There was also a head in his hand.
"I originally wanted to kill a first-level martial artist in Nanxiang County, but it was too difficult. So I killed a second-level martial artist."
After finishing his words, Wu Rendi took out the corpse of a monster from the storage ring.
"The same goes for the demon clan. They are both first-level powerhouses and are too difficult to kill, so I killed a second-level demon powerhouse."
"The head will be used as a sacrifice to Master Xu. As for the body, it will be peeled and cramped, roasted, stir-fried, steamed or fried. Let's eat it."
"With so many guests coming, we have to entertain them, otherwise we will look stingy."
Senior brother Wu Rendi took everything into consideration.
Everyone bowed to Wu Rendi, "Elder brother is mighty!"
Unexpectedly, the eldest brother would be so ferocious, forcing his way into the demon clan's strongholds in Nanxiang County and Shuizhou County.
"Wu Rendi is invincible!"
Everyone was shocked, and a great scholar murmured to himself.
People in the field knew a lot about the situation of Xu Normal University's apprentices.
No one knew that Master Xu was extremely talented and his eldest disciple had no cultivation, but no one expected that this eldest disciple would reach the first level of Confucianism and Taoism.
This kind of talent is even better than that of Master Xu.
Now let’s take a look at Master Xu’s five disciples. The eldest disciple is unrivaled, and the second disciple has entered the realm of great Confucianism.
Although he is only at the third level of Confucianism and Taoism, his transition to the second level is almost certain.
The third disciple was the only female emperor in the history of the Zhou Dynasty. Although she has abdicated now, the title of empress has also spread.
The fourth disciple is practicing martial arts and is now very powerful, with extraordinary fighting prowess at a young age.
The fifth disciple is even more powerful. Not only can he challenge the second-level martial arts experts, but he also sits in the Iron-Blooded Battalion, which is the most elite warrior of the Great Zhou Dynasty. In addition, he is also the Duke of the Great Zhou Dynasty, with a fief of 100,000
household!
"I am not as good as Master Xu!" the dean of Dazhou Academy said with emotion. "When it comes to preaching, teaching, and selecting disciples, I am not as good as Master Xu!"
This lineage can be called a general’s tiger son!
Everyone is extremely energetic.
"Send the teacher to burial!"
Wu Rendi shouted.
In the sky, an inexplicable music played.
Under the influence of the Confucian and Taoist semi-sages, the surrounding heaven and earth were filled with sorrow, and even some snowflakes were sprinkled.
The five disciples, wrapped in white clothes, stood in front of the grave and buried Master Xu with their own hands.
Then, place the sacrifices.
The five disciples worshiped together...
…
It wasn't until evening that Lu Jiuzhang returned from the top of the mountain.
Most of the guests left.
The remaining ones will leave in the next two or three days.
After all, Yiyun County is a place of right and wrong, and it is not advisable to stay there for a long time.
Five senior brothers gathered together to discuss the future matters.
"Third Junior Sister should not return to the palace again." Wu Rendi said, "This time you left the palace and had a conflict with Chang'an Emperor Zhou Qian. If you go back again, I am afraid Zhou Qian will spare no effort to deal with you."
"You can guess it, but I still have some methods left." Zhou Yao said.
"Everything needs to be stable. The teacher has left, and we can't have any more senior brothers leave with him." Wu Rendi said slowly, "As for the Iron Blood Camp, Emperor Zhou Qian of Chang'an will definitely be furious if the three junior sisters are taken in. "
"At this time, it's up to you, junior brother, to withstand the pressure from Emperor Chang'an."
Wu Rendi continued to arrange.
"Report..."
At this time, a boy's voice sounded outside the camp, "Tell Mr. Lu that Emperor Chang'an has sent an imperial envoy to ask to see you."
While everyone was discussing, the messenger came.
Of course Lu Jiuzhang understood what Emperor Chang'an meant.
"I'll go take a look first."
Lu Jiuzhang bowed his hands, left the place, and went to the camp where he worked.
In that camp, stood a second-rank minister.
He is the Minister of the Ministry of War.
One of the most powerful people in the court.
Unexpectedly, Chang'an Emperor Zhou Qian actually sent him as an imperial envoy.
"Mr. Lu!"
The Minister of War bowed his hands towards Lu Jiuzhang.
"Greetings to the Lord Shangshu!"
Lu Jiuzhang bowed.
"Emperor Chang'an issued a decree asking Mr. Lu to come to Beijing to meet the Holy Spirit," said the Minister of War.
"Mian Sheng? Is it about Empress Zhou Yao?" Lu Jiuzhang asked.
"I don't know about this. I'm just conveying His Majesty's intention. Again, Mr. Lu, don't make any mistakes." said the Minister of War.
Lu Jiuzhang understood that Emperor Chang'an was not prepared to take action from Empress Zhou Yao.
He would not order Zhou Yao to return to the palace, nor would he order Lu Jiuzhang not to protect the empress Zhou Yao.
Instead, Lu Jiuzhang was asked to enter the palace to meet the saint.
If after entering the palace this time, Lu Jiuzhang cannot produce the so-called evidence of loyalty to Emperor Chang'an, he may be imprisoned in Jingzhao Mansion.
As for the Iron Blood Camp, without Lu Jiuzhang, he can send another strong man to take charge.
Mainly because he wanted to control Lu Jiuzhang.
He should not kill himself. Now that Master Xu is dead and the senior brother has broken through to the first level of Confucianism and Taoism, the news should have spread.
It is not a wise move to rashly attack a junior disciple who is a first-grade strong man.
It is estimated that Chang'an Emperor Zhou Qian planned to take action against Lu Jiuzhang and then force Empress Zhou Yao to return to Jingzhao Mansion.
Such a calculation!
It seems that Emperor Zhou Yao of Chang'an is not a drunkard.
"Understood, Lord Shangshu will go back to Jingzhao Mansion first. After I have arranged these things, I will naturally return to Jingzhao Mansion to resume my duties." Lu Jiuzhang said.
"Master Lu, don't you plan to return to Jingzhao Mansion?"
The Minister of War shouted.
This is the will of Emperor Chang'an.
"It's not my intention, I'm just busy with the affairs at hand." Lu Jiuzhang said, "Now is the time to give Lord Shangshu a reason to go back and resume his life. I hope Lord Shangshu will not make a mistake."
Lu Jiuzhang made this very clear.
To give you an excuse, just go back and report to Emperor Chang'an.
If Lu Jiuzhang is forced to go to Jingzhao Mansion, I am afraid that the Minister of War will not be able to leave Yiyun County alive today.
"Lord Lu, Your Majesty treats you well." The Minister of War said with a cold face, "Since the establishment of the Iron Blood Battalion, His Majesty has continued to support the Iron Blood Battalion openly and covertly."
"Your Majesty wants to build the Iron Blood Battalion as a private army."
"And for Mr. Lu, His Majesty is not stingy with rewards. First he was a duke, and then a large number of natural resources and treasures. Even the people around Mr. Lu have benefited greatly."
