Chapter 254: The Return of the Old Master
The figure suddenly appeared, everyone in the room was startled, and Zheng Tai, who was about to get up, stood up suddenly, looking at the person who came vigilantly.
The visitor looked to be in his thirties, with thick long hair and smooth eyes, but his eyes showed vicissitudes that did not match his age.
Looking closely, Zheng Tai felt a little familiar.
Everyone was shocked, but Xu Chen, who was the leader, gently put down the tea cup in his hand, met the burning eyes of the comer, and asked lightly, "Succeeded?"
The person smiled and replied: "Thank you for the generous gift of the son, the grace of recreation, the old slave will never forget it in his life!"
Xu Chen smiled and nodded, calmly accepting.
As soon as the visitor spoke, Zheng Tai walked over in shock, looked at the visitor's face carefully, and shouted, "You...... Are you Lu Zhi?"
Lu Zhi smiled and nodded.
Zheng Tai was surprised: "How did you become so young?"
Xu Chen smiled and answered: "Because he is no longer human!"
"Huh?" Zheng Tai looked at Xu Chen with a puzzled expression.
Xu Chen smiled and replied, "He should be considered an immortal now!"
Lu Zhi said with a smile: "Childe is joking, the old slave is just a little stronger!"
Xu Chen pondered for a moment and said seriously: "Let's talk about it, what changes have occurred after entering the foundation building period?"
Lu Zhi thought for a while and replied: "The skill has improved, but it is not as big as expected, in addition, everything around me suddenly opened up, and I only felt that everything was in front of me, thinking that this should be the divine consciousness that Gongzi said." ”
Xu Chen asked again: "What else, do you feel about the outside environment?"
Lu Zhi was silent for a while, and replied: "The moment I just broke through the realm, it was like falling into an abyss, if it wasn't for the spirit bracelet given by Gongzi in advance, I'm afraid that the old slave would have turned into a puddle of crumbs now!"
Xu Chen nodded slowly and said, "That's because you were rejected by the external environment after you broke through the realm, but the originally suitable environment became a deadly Jedi!"
Lu Zhi agreed: "What Childe said is right, the old slave now only feels as uncomfortable as if he is pressing on a mountain of ten thousand catties, and the few spells he tried to cast, the power is not as great as he imagined, but the aura in his body is like a flood, and it is consumed in an instant!"
Xu Chen nodded calmly and said, "This is all expected, and if it is not a critical moment in the future, it is necessary to use spells carefully!"
"But you can successfully break through the realm in just a few days, which is really beyond my expectations!"
Xu Chen has read the classics of the cultivation realm, the breakthrough of the foundation building period is the first pass of the monks, and countless monks stop here, even those with good qualifications, and even the so-called Tianjiao disciples ten thousand years ago, the time for retreat to break through the foundation building period is less than a few months, and more in recent years!
Lu Zhi pondered for a moment and said with a smile: "It's probably a matter of accumulation!"
Xu Chen thought about it, and suddenly it dawned on him, Lu Zhi's internal strength had broken through to the realm of the grandmaster for more than ten years, and his martial arts had been cultivated for half his life! If it was said that the cultivation of internal strength was also a kind of cultivation, then Lu Zhi had accumulated for decades, and under the accumulation, it was naturally a matter of course.
Moreover, the environment in the outside world is so harsh, and those who can cultivate their internal forces to the Grandmaster Realm in the outside world are only afraid that their cultivation qualifications are much higher than those of cultivators in this era.
And this point is also very telling in terms of the proportion of the population.
The entire Tang Dynasty now has a population of tens of millions, among which the masters of the Grandmaster Realm are only afraid of dozens of people, and such a disparity is already far higher than the proportion of high-level cultivators in each domain of the cultivator.
"Okay!" After asking, Xu Chen immediately said: "Since you have successfully entered the foundation building period, then take a trip to Chang'an for me!"
Lu Zhi bowed and said, "Son, please command!"
Xu Chen picked up a letter on the table, handed it to Lu Zhi, and said, "You go to Chang'an and hand it to the third child, and let him send it to the teacher!"
"Okay!" Lu Zhi immediately took it.
Xu Chen said lightly: "After going to Chang'an, if the trouble with the third child has not been solved, then ...... Just kill it!"
Lu Zhi smiled slightly, and responded: "The old slave knows!"
After Lu Zhi left, Xu Chen turned his head to look at Chai Lao and said with a smile: "Don't worry, accumulate more time, and strive to be the same as Lu Zhi, once you can do it!"
Chai Lao smiled: "Don't worry, the old slave knows!"
After dealing with it, Xu Chen stood up and said to Lu Hao: "Fuzhou City will be handed over to you! Next, I will go back to Keelung and prepare for the plan in a month!"
Lu Hao nodded and said, "Don't worry, big brother, I will take care of it!"
Xu Chen smiled and said: "Be careful in everything, safety first!"
……
North of Zhangzhou City, rebel camp.
Military advisor Li Yi frowned at the moment, and there was a military newspaper on the long case.
"Fuzhou City is broken, Ling Feng died in battle?" a long-bearded staff member next to him exclaimed, "When did this happen?"
"Five days ago?" After reading the time in the military newspaper, he was even more angry: "What are they doing? What is He Yun doing for food?"
Kong Ke, who was sitting opposite, raised his head and said coldly: "He Yun is the commander of the water division, let him defend the city? The shark fell to the shore, and it was already his life if he didn't die!"
A white-shirted staff member beside him put down the military newspaper in his hand and asked suspiciously: "Why are you going north? Isn't it closer to Quanzhou in the south?"
"Didn't you read the military newspaper that the official army had a sailor? Do you want him to go down to the Min River with his bare hands to fight against the warships of the official army?" Kong Ke was still indifferent.
The long-bearded staff member said angrily: "Defeat is defeat! An army of tens of thousands of people, and it is defending the city, it will be broken by thousands of people, this crime of defeat must not be spared!"
Kong Ke was about to scold, but Li Yi, who was at the top, suddenly opened his mouth and asked lightly: "Wuwei Army, the chief general of this army, have any of you heard of it?"
The two staff members who were arguing were stunned and silent, and the remaining staff members also raised their heads, also looking dazed.
But Hua Qing, who was sitting at the bottom and near the door, quickly flashed a smile at the corner of his mouth.
It was the long-bearded staff member who replied: "The Wuwei Army, it's a newly recruited army, right? We have a number of troops under Wang Zhonghei, and we have never heard of such an army!"
Speaking of this, the long-bearded staff sneered coldly: "It is really capable of being broken by a newly recruited miscellaneous soldier!"
People die like lights going out, since Ling Feng is dead, then the merits and demerits will disappear naturally, this staff member is sneering at the moment, but the target is only He Yun alone!
Kong Ke couldn't bear it anymore, slapped the low table in front of him, and scolded angrily: "The new army? miscellaneous soldiers? can a new army have a naval division? a group of miscellaneous soldiers can defeat the Fuzhou naval division without letting a single ship come back?"
Li Yi watched this scene repeated, and felt powerless in his heart, Quanzhou City is like this, and the front line of the two armies is like this, enduring humiliation for a hundred years, it is not easy to have today's situation, but now, is there really a future?
After suppressing the distracting thoughts in his heart, Li Yi groaned: "In this way, the dozen or so strange ships that appeared on the Jiulong River in the past two days should be this mysterious sailor!"
"Military Division!" Hua Qing, who had always been silent and silent, suddenly spoke, and said: "Although the number of these dozen ships is small, the speed is unusually fast, and the equipment is even better, with them as a containment, Wang Zhongsi has now been able to successfully land the army on the north shore!"
Li Yi nodded slowly, he was very satisfied with Hua Qing. If he said that he trusted the most among the staff in this room, it was naturally not Huaqing's turn, but among all the staff, his favorite was this newcomer who had no roots and no bottom and was dedicated to doing things!
At this moment, seeing that Huaqing deliberately brought the topic back on track, Li Yi nodded slowly and sighed: "The Li family has been sitting for a hundred years, and it is expected that the profound heritage is also expected. The advantage of our army is all in the naval division, although these dozen ships can't damage the overall situation, but Wang Zhongsi is a famous general in a hundred battles after all, and he was helpless before, but now he has a reliance in his hands, even if this reliance is not reliable, it is difficult to guarantee that he will come up with any way. ”
Hua Qing answered: "For today's plan, the only way to do this is to destroy these dozen ships first!"
Li Yi agreed: "That's right! It's just that the sailors and ships here in Zhangzhou can't keep up with them in terms of speed!"
When Kong Ke heard this, he suggested: "I think it's better to transfer He Yun back! In land warfare, he can play a role that is not as good as a military commander, and he is simply a pearl and dust on land!"
"No!" the long-bearded staff member was shocked and shouted, "Absolutely not! Isn't it strange that this martial army came out of nowhere?"
"The Xianxialing in the north is a man who is not open, Wang Zhongsi is stopped by us on the south side of the Jiulong River, and the patrol on the sea in the east has never been cut off for a moment, so where else can this official army come from?"
Kong Ke was dumbfounded: "What do you want to say?"
The long-bearded staff was not afraid, and sneered: "There has been no news from Hulu Pass in the west for more than two months, God knows what Yang Xun is doing? Where will this official army come from, is it not obvious?"
"You!" Kong Ke burst out and glared at the other party.
Several of the guards behind the long-bearded staff hurriedly rushed forward to protect him.
Li Yi held his forehead with his hand, forcibly endured the irritability in his heart, and was about to reprimand, but a familiar voice came from outside the handsome tent.
"You mean to ...... Have I defected?"
Yang Ziyun walked in by herself, and said to the long-bearded staff with a smile: "Oh, that's wrong! What did you just say about Yang Xun?
However, at this moment, Li Yi didn't look at Yang Ziyun, but stared at the person behind Yang Ziyun, the person who was covered by a black robe!
The black hat faded off, revealing a slightly pale face, and a deep male voice immediately sounded: "Sorry, I haven't seen the light for too long!"
……
On the Jiulong River, on a sandbar at the mouth of the river, a bored Zheng Tai lay on the dry dry grass and watched the sunset gradually setting in the sky, and kept muttering: "It's really boring! Big brother should be building an arsenal now, right? Those boys estimated that they should have a hand...... What's the point?"
Liu Shan, who was beside him, heard this, and hurriedly answered: "A gun!
"A gun!" Zheng Tai's face was filled with endless loneliness.
"Brother Tai, don't we all have guns?
"You know what! This gun is not the other gun!"
"Oh, have you seen that?"
"Of course I ...... I haven't had time to see ...... yet."
In the distance, a teenager was running briskly.
"Brother Tai, the news from Huaqing is here!"
When Zheng Tai heard this, he immediately stood up, snatched the small cylinder in the young man's hand, took it out, and there was only one sentence on it:
"Yang Xiong is back, and everyone is back to Quanzhou!"
