Liu Yu put away his smile and said seriously: "Do you have a way to contact Sun En and make him act according to your will? If you can do this, we can talk about it later. Otherwise, we can still defend the city obediently.
.”
Lu Xun's eyes were shining with non-committal. When Liu Yu saw him like this, he smiled slightly: "After all, Sun En is the one who is really in charge of your affairs. It is really unrealistic for you, the second senior brother, to give orders to the first senior brother. That's all, when I don't
He said, let's make arrangements to defend the city."
Lu Xun suddenly said in a deep voice: "Liu Yu, you don't need to provoke me. This matter is relatively big and I can't give you an answer right away. But if your battle plan can convince me, I will ask Senior Brother for help."
Liu Yu nodded: "What you said makes sense, but this matter involves confidentiality. It is not appropriate for too many people to know. I would like to ask you to avoid it for the time being. I will discuss it with Brother Lu in private."
Everyone turned and left. Liu Muzhi's fat figure was busy up and down the city for a while, until he walked around the ditch below the city and made sure that no one in the ditch could hear the conversation above the city. He was still worried and lay down.
When he got to the ground, he put his ear to the ground and made sure that no one was hiding underground. Then he stood up with satisfaction and nodded to Liu Yu at the top of the city, indicating that he could talk in peace.
Liu Yu looked at Lu Xun and said calmly: "Before we talk, there is something I must understand. Are you going to act on your own this time, or are you taking orders from Qinglong?"
The corner of Lu Xun's mouth curled up: "You really know the existence of Qinglong, no wonder you are willing to return to Dajin. I think you should know better than us whether Qinglong is dead or alive."
Liu Yu sneered and said: "In the battle of Yecheng, the whereabouts of our army are controlled by the Yan army. In addition to the help of Huan Xuan, Qinglong's disciple, you also contributed a lot."
Lu Xun smiled slightly: "Then aren't you also taking orders from Xuanwu? We are all chess pieces and are just manipulated by these mafia bosses. There is no need to laugh at each other. But I still want to thank you. If it weren't for
Go to the grassland to hunt you down, we haven't gotten rid of Qinglong's control so easily."
Liu Yu frowned: "So, you are now doing your own thing and are not controlled by others?"
Lu Xun nodded: "Actually, I have always been opposed to the cooperation between the divine sect and Qinglong, because our divine sect wants to go from having no power to having power, and it must affect the interests of their family. This is irreconcilable. On the contrary, we are more similar.
You guys from the Beifu Army want to rise with military merit, which is in fundamental conflict with the interests of the aristocratic families. Therefore, Xuanwu is just using you. This is the same as how we were used by Qinglong, but Master chose to cooperate with them.
All we can do is follow suit."
"After the Battle of Yecheng, Qinglong disappeared, and all the promises made to us were in vain. The divine religion still cannot preach in various parts of the Jin Dynasty, so we have to come to the Central Plains by ourselves, in a place beyond the control of the imperial court.
Winning the hearts of the people, so I have to thank you for helping us kill Qinglong, and similarly, you should also thank us for helping you defeat Xuanwu, otherwise, now you are still at the mercy of the Xie family, how can you be free?"
Liu Yu said coldly: "Xianggong Xie and Qinglong are not the same people. He is dedicated to serving the country. Even if I am used by him, I will be willing to do so."
Lu Xun sneered and said: "He just saw that you only want to make achievements without asking for anything in return, so he used you like this. But our divine religion is different. Our purpose is to let the light of the Three Pure Ones shine on everyone in the world.
This is a corner, so we can do anything as long as we are allowed to preach and preach. This is why Master chose to obey Qinglong."
Liu Yu shook his head: "Don't you have King Kuaiji and Wang Guobao as your backstage? Why did you ask Qinglong?"
Lu Xun said disdainfully: "What can these two idiots do? Sima Daozi wants power but is unwilling to give it. Wang Guobao even competes with the divine religion for favor and guards us like thieves. We tried to find Sima several times.
Daozi sought promotion, but was blocked by Wang Guobao. Since they couldn't help us, we had to find a more powerful backer. Qinglong found us at this time, let us see his power and power, and promised
After the Northern Expedition, the divine religion will be allowed to preach freely in the Jin Dynasty, and then we will help him."
Liu Yu sneered: "You are such a smart person, can't you see that the interests of Qinglong and yours are in fundamental conflict, and it is impossible for you to become powerful? Don't say that he will never come back in the grassland, even if he doesn't go, he won't
Delivered on its promise.”
Lu Xun smiled and said: "Of course I know, but master and senior brother still have illusions about these aristocratic families, so it's good to educate them with facts. Liu Yu, I know you want to go to the Northern Expedition, and I want to too, because only new conquests can be made
In this area, the imperial court and those aristocratic families cannot control it. You do your best, and we will appease the people and win people's hearts from behind. We can also provide you with troops and military rations. In this way, everyone can get what they need, how about that?"
Liu Yu laughed: "Lu Xun, until now, you are still unwilling to tell me the truth. What you need is not the same thing as your master or your senior brother. I know Tianshi Tao very well.
, have been preaching in the south for so many years, and you are the Fan Yanglu family from the north. You are the only one interested in expanding your power in the north. This time you are willing to risk your life to help defend the city, not for the sake of Tianshi Dao, but for the sake of Heavenly Master Dao.
You yourself, you want me to help you take power within the Heavenly Master's Way, right?"
Lu Xun's expression was calm. He looked at Liu Yu's sharp eyes like an eagle as he looked at him. After a long while, he sighed: "Master always thought you were a foolhardy and passionate person, but only I know.
Your strategy and judgment will never be inferior to your generals. Liu Yu, I won’t lie to your face, because I want to cooperate with you for a long time. Yes, that’s what I think, Master, or they
The Sun family has stayed in Jiangnan for too long. They only care about the few believers and incense in Jiangnan. They have no ambition to compete in the world. This is why they agreed to destroy the Northern Expedition in exchange for Qinglong's support. I have started this matter from beginning to end.
Weidu strongly opposed it, but my words were not accepted in the end. Liu Yu, are you willing to help me gain the power of Tianshi Dao?"
Liu Yu sighed: "I have known for a long time that as a member of a big family like Fan Yanglu, you will not be willing to be the second senior brother of Tianshi Dao. Joining Tianshi Dao is just to provide you with an alternative to the court.
It's just a way up, and when you get the chance, you'll do it alone."
Lu Xun smiled slightly: "No, of course I have feelings for the divine religion. It is precisely because of my feelings that I must ensure that the divine religion is led and controlled by the best people. Who else could this person be than me?"
