Chapter 266 - Infiltrate the Imperial Capital
Lu Bu is too strong, there is no opponent in the Jindan realm, which is sad for the princes, although Yuan Shao is happy that Liu Guanzhang was defeated by Lu Bu, but he is still at a loss for how to break through the Tiger Prison Pass.
If the coalition army wants to break through the Tiger Pass, it is necessary to invest ten times the number of troops in it, but even if it breaks through the Tiger Pass, it will be a heavy loss, if it is faced with Dong Zhuo's reinforcements to counterattack, it will inevitably be unable to resist, so the best way is to weaken the morale of the defenders. However, because Liu Guanzhang did not break through Lu Bu, the defenders were still strong, and it was naturally difficult to break through. Therefore, the princes and the defenders fell into a stalemate in front of the Tiger Pass, the princes had no intention of fighting, drinking and having fun every day, and waiting for the opportunity in the name of the beautiful name, in fact, they wanted to wait until the winter, the army was unsustainable, and then retreated under the pretext, and no one would say anything at that time, and the reputation of King Qin had been obtained, and it would be forgotten if he could not hit the imperial capital.
Long Xiangtian doesn't want this ending, for Lu Bu to defeat Liu Guanzhang, the result is already a headache, and the next development of things is really out of control, Long Xiangtian believes that if things are allowed to go on like this, I am afraid that the future will not be a situation of three parts of the world, maybe Dong Zhuo will not be able to unify the world. Long Xiangtian knew that if he wanted to set things right and set history back to normal, he must let the coalition forces break through the Tiger Prison Pass and attack the imperial capital. But what should I do? My own strength can be on the same level as Hua Xiong at best, and it is by no means easy to defeat Lu Bu, who even Liu Guanzhang and the others have not been able to defeat with their hands.
For Lu Bu, when he saw it this time, Long Xiangtian felt that Lu Bu had become a little strange, but he didn't know what the fault was, and felt that Lu Bu seemed to be a different person, becoming very strange, and he didn't talk about brotherhood at all. This made Long Xiangtian puzzled, and found that the black aura on Lu Bu's body was very evil, as if he was familiar, but he couldn't think of anything for a while.
The battle of Tiger Prison Pass is over, Liu Guanzhang is recuperating from his injuries, Lu Bu is sitting in Tiger Prison to close the pass to improve the realm, and the two sides will not easily start a war for a while. Long Xiangtian pondered, and had a whim, thinking that there was no chance to stay here, so it was better to sneak into the imperial capital now and find out the news.
The imperial capital is Dong Zhuo's lair, Long Xiangtian finally got out of the tiger's mouth, and now he wants to go in again, Long Xiangtian was not frightened by his terrible idea, but thought that he would not provoke Dong Zhuo's people, and quietly went in, unknowingly, in fact, Long Xiangtian still had a reason to go, that is, he wanted to see Cai Yan and Diao Chan.
Just do it, Long Xiangtian directly bypassed the Tiger Prison Pass and marched in the direction of the imperial capital, but the princes' coalition forces couldn't, if they didn't pull out the enemy stronghold of the Tiger Prison Pass, not to mention that the logistics supply was cut off and attacked by both sides, they would fall into a dangerous situation.
Long Xiangtian Imperial Sword Flying, it didn't take long to come to the outskirts of Luoyang, the imperial capital, Luoyang at this time was still calm, not at all approached by the coalition forces, making people panic, but as usual the city gate was wide open, Long Xiangtian relied on the special ability of sealing the hidden pearl, and with the help of Cangming, he changed his appearance, even if the magic investigation could not be detected, so he disguised himself and easily entered the city. I saw that the pedestrians in the city were vague, and many shops were closed, and the cries of selling no longer rose and fell one after another, which shows that during the period of time when Dong Zhuo occupied the imperial capital, he had done something wrong and had already driven away many merchants.
Long Xiangtian deliberately entered the city from the north city gate, and found that the city gate order surnamed Liu had been replaced, thinking that Liu Chengmen order had a close relationship with Yuan Shao, so he was naturally a person who couldn't hide Dong Zhuo's forces. I didn't want to do this, and after entering the city, I was ready to choose an inn to live in first.
Long Xiangtian strode into the inn, and immediately a shopkeeper greeted him!
"Yo, hello fellow Daoist, are you going to eat or stay and rest?"
Long Xiangtian smiled and said, "Arrange a good room for me!"
"Okay!" Xiao Er asked again, "Fellow Daoist, do you want to hurry up and cultivate and consolidate your cultivation?"
Long Xiangtian couldn't help but nod with some curiosity. I saw that Xiao Er said: "Then I recommend to you the three rooms of our inn, Ice Crystal, Anode and Xuanzao, each of which has its own prohibitions, to help you speed up your cultivation!" Ice crystals, as the name suggests, can create absolute low temperatures, and cultivating in this environment will make your true yuan power grow step by step; anode can simulate being in a sea of fire and is used to temper the monk's protective qi; as for Xuanzao, it allows you to relax and cultivate in an environment with strong aura, and in this unhindered environment, you can quickly master the magic or martial arts moves, which can accelerate your comprehension and make those many changes and very complex techniques easy to learn. ”
When Zhang Yue heard this, he immediately became interested, he didn't expect the inn to have such a wonderful use, Long Xiangtian always thought that the inn was just a place for the monks to rest along the way, and now he thought about it, only to know the reason why the inn's business was booming, and sighed No wonder some monks stayed in the inn for ten days and a half without coming out, it turned out that practicing here would get twice the result with half the effort, who didn't want to stay for a long time.
Long Xiangtian asked, and learned that the most ordinary room in the inn costs a hundred medium-grade spirit coins a day, and there is almost no decoration in the room, even the most basic gathering spirit incense is also a very ordinary kind, and the effect of attracting spiritual energy is average, and the most expensive Xuanzao will cost one hundred high-grade spirit coins a day, which is equivalent to a foundation building single a day, this price gap is a hundred times, which has to make Long Xiangtian sigh that only rich people can afford to live!
Over the years, Long Xiangtian also has some savings in his hands, don't look at the empty storage wrench, in fact, the spirit coins on his body, Long Xiangtian has been all placed in the Pangu world, thinking that if the spirit ore in the Pangu world begins to mass-produce the best spirit stones in the future, then he will really become rich, and what he spends now is just a drop in the bucket for the future.
So Long Xiangtian chose the most expensive Xuanzao house, and said that he would live for three or five days, at this time, the shopkeeper became more attentive, while explaining the various prohibitions and uses of the Xuanzao house to Long Xiangtian, and sent someone to send a large plate of fairy fruits to Long Xiangtian to taste, until Long Xiangtian paid the deposit, this will no longer bother.
In the room, Long Xiangtian tasted a fairy fruit carefully, and found that it really contained a trace of spiritual power, absorbed and refined it, and turned it into a trace of pure true yuan in his body, Long Xiangtian couldn't help but think: If you keep eating this fruit, you really don't have to meditate and cultivate boringly.
Long Xiangtian cultivated silently, consolidating his own exercises, the abundance of aura, and the special prohibition made his body and mind relax, and his cultivation was like a fish in water, which was comparable to being in the fairyland in the clouds at the beginning. During this period, the spirit wine and spirit meat for three meals a day, and the spirit fruit and spirit tea between cultivation were never interrupted, and Long Xiangtian felt that as long as he stayed here for half a month, he would be able to improve a small realm.
Unconsciously, Long Xiangtian stayed here for three days, if it weren't for Cangming's reminder, he would have almost been completely addicted to it, thinking that he still had something to do, so he came out of the room, passed by the shopkeeper, and chatted with him, the shopkeeper said that if it weren't for the current business downturn, rooms like Xuanzao would have been fully booked, and the price was much more expensive than now, and he could also enjoy some special services, such as a masseur who is good at massage, who can use special massage techniques to eliminate the dark wounds in the monk's body, as well as a maid who warms the bed, and the guest officer has an occasional entertainment between his practice。
The shopkeeper said that when their shop was at its most brilliant, it had received a true one, and the shopkeeper entertained with twelve bed-warming maids, please choose! These twelve beauties, all have the cultivation of the Jindan realm, but they are all born of the pill, but they are Jindan real people, only worthy of the power of clothing Yuan Ying and even return to the void, they are all graceful, beautiful appearance, like the empty valley orchid, some of the enthusiasm and charm, the maid costume on the body, so that their beauty, is the most incisive performance, watch carefully, some are enthusiastic like fire, some are young like songs, some are round and sweet, some are delicate and delicate, some are quiet and elegant, and some are innocent and smart......
The more the shopkeeper talked, the more interested he became, and Long Xiangtian's mouth was a little dry when he heard it. In the end, the shopkeeper could only sigh for a while, saying that those maids were transferred to Yangzhou by the chief shopkeeper of this inn to open a business, and he was not favored by the shopkeeper, so he ended up watching the store here.
Long Xiangtian then thought that an inn like this, if it was able to open in the imperial capital, it must be a powerful existence, and there must be more than one inn, there are branches in every state of the Han Dynasty, and the shopkeeper inside, if there is no background relationship, it is impossible to do things here, ordinary immortals, especially those born outside the city, are simply not qualified to do things in it.
After chatting with the shopkeeper, Long Xiangtian walked to the street and began to think about how to stir up this situation. It's hard to find a breakthrough on the Tiger Prison Pass, but what can the Imperial Capital take advantage of?
Long Xiangtian pondered, in Luoyang, the imperial capital today, Dong Zhuo's family is dominant, like the sky, there is no Yuanying Zhenjun who can compete with Dong Zhuo, and the only one who still has a lot of power in the imperial capital, enough to compete with Dong Zhuo, is only the three princes of Xianhan.
The three princes are the pillars of the Xianhan Dynasty, returning to the void and the true one, namely Sikong Cai Yong, the number Bo Zhen Yi, Sima Yuan Kui, the number Ci Yang Zhen Yi, and the Situ Wang Yun number Shi Zhen Yi. Although the three princes do not have real power, after all, they are very few in the world, and they have reached the top of the human realm. However, the three of them have been returning to the truth for a long time, and obviously, like Liu Biao, they are not sure about the thunder tribulation.
Returning to the void and Zhenyi was also afraid of the thunder tribulation, obviously it was impossible for them to deal with Dong Zhuo, the Yuanying True Monarch, and suffer the punishment of the Heavenly Dao, so how should the Third Duke confront Dong Zhuo? Long Xiangtian pondered for a long time, and unconsciously came to the outside of Cai's mansion.
