Chapter 36: The Resistance of the State of Chu
The next day, Lu Yao took Lu Yuan to take the teleportation array in his clan land early in the morning and arrived at the Xishan Immortal Gate of Yu Kingdom. Although there is such a teleportation array, it is easy, and everyone can't use it, because the cost of one teleportation will cost thousands of top-grade spirit stones.
Lu Yao and Lu Yuan met Mei Chaofan of Xishan Xianmen and asked him about his recent situation.
Mei Chaofan said: "The emperor has already begun to attack the state of Chu. There was a lot of resistance on the part of the Chu State. It is estimated that it is unlikely to be won in a short period of time. ”
Lu Yao nodded and said, "This was also expected. Okay, the two of us are back this time purely for personal reasons. The two of us are going to pay homage to our father and mother. Then I went to the palace to meet the emperor's brother, and went back. Tell me what else you need here. When I get back, I'll have someone bring it to you in a flying ship. ”
Mei Chaofan smiled slightly and said, "What can we Xishan Immortal Sect need?" It's not a big place, and it's enough for us monks. The aura is abundant, the elixir is also sufficient, and there are not many things. However, because we have to give to the people, we also have the responsibility to pacify the people in the land that has been left by the war. So, you need some Spirit Valley, I wonder if you brought it this time? Also, the soldiers fighting in front need some medicine that can treat the regeneration of severed limbs, and a large amount of Bigu Dan. ”
"Because the soldiers of our Yu State have Bigu Dan, they don't need to transport too many supplies in logistics, which is a much stronger advantage than Chu State. Also, we need a lot of flower charms. You may also have to take the time to refine a batch. During this period of time, we have bought a lot of flowers from the people, and they are all ready. ”
Lu Yao knew that this mortal flower talisman was also an important means for his elder brother Lu Jin to rule the people of the newly acquired land. Besides, the explosive effect of the flower talisman is very prominent on the battlefield. Therefore, Lu Yao said: "There is no problem with this. I'll be there for about three days. This time is enough for me to refine a batch of mortal flower talismans. ”
Mei Chaofan nodded.
After Lu Yao finished speaking, he took Lu Yuan to ask the monk to prepare things, and then informed the emperor who was still in the palace, and gathered outside the capital to worship Lu Yao's father.
In front of the mausoleum of Lu Yao's father, Lu Yao and Lu Yuan were silent for a long time.
Lu Jin looked at his younger brother with some apprehension. My brother has grown into an adult. He didn't forget that his younger brother was not only a cultivator, but also the emperor of Yu Kingdom. This throne was originally given to him by his younger brother Chan.
The ministers also call their younger brother the emperor, can this not make Lu Jin have an idea in his heart?
However, after Lu Yao and Lu Yuan worshipped, they followed the emperor into the palace together.
In the palace, Lu Yao introduced the emperor's empresses, princes, and princesses to Lu Yuan.
Lu Yuan was not very close to them, but he had already prepared some small gifts. It is nothing more than some specialties of Whitefish Lake, such as colorful glass, colorful gemstones, colorful corals in Whitefish Lake, etc. These things can obtain great wealth in the mortal world, but for cultivators, they have no effect at all.
After meeting, Lu Yao asked everyone to retreat, leaving Emperor Lu Jin alone to speak together.
The brothers sat together, a little embarrassed, but Lu Yao and Lu Yuan didn't care.
Lu Yao said: "Xiaoyuan, our relatives, in the capital, there is also a second sister. Her husband's family, the Kingdom of Jin, has been destroyed by our Kingdom of Yu. Her husband and son were also killed. She lives alone in the Princess's Mansion next to the palace. The elder brother gave her the princess's money, and she lived without worrying about food and clothing. It's just that he can't move freely and can't leave the princess's mansion. Let's just meet today. Brother, you asked someone to invite the second sister over. ”
Lu Jin didn't dare to say that it was not good, this sister's majesty was increasing day by day, so he honestly went to call someone to pass the word to the second princess into the palace.
In the gap of waiting, Lu Yao asked, "Brother, how is the attack on Chu State?" ”
Lu Jin said: "The state of Chu is different from the state of Jin. The Chu State is a little northerly, the people are fierce, and the whole country is controlled by the eldest sister. Although the Ling family under her has not caused her less trouble in the past few years, her wrists are still very strong. Previously, we sent people to divide and win over, but some of the noble ministers of the Chu State took refuge in them. ”
"However, I don't know what's going on, maybe there was a leak of the news, the eldest sister knew about it, and directly wiped out the exposed families. This set off a bloody storm in the Chu State. We came to our senses and took advantage of this to attack them. However, only three cities were defeated, and the situation in Chu was controlled by the eldest sister. Now it's guarding like an iron pass. ”
"But we still have the advantage. It's just that you can't rush to conquer Chu like decay, you can only fight slowly little by little. ”
Lu Yao nodded.
The state of Chu will inevitably be defeated. Because Yu has a lot of wealth from attacking Jin State, this attack is tantamount to attacking with the strength of Jin State and Yu State. No matter how strong the Chu State is, it is not an opponent in the face of the alliance of the Jin State and the Yu State.
What's more, Yu Guo still has a killing weapon like Fanhua Fu. There are also monks who help with transportation, help pave roads and build bridges, and soldiers who are injured in battles also have the elixir of the immortal family's severed limbs. There is no need to carry a lot of logistical resources, and there is no need to eat, as long as every sergeant takes Bigu Dan.
With so many advantages, it is strange that he can't beat Chu State anymore. It's only a matter of time.
Lu Yao said: "Please ask my brother to worry more about these things." When the state of Chu is defeated, please ask my brother to keep the life of the eldest sister, Xiaoyuan and I still want to meet the eldest sister. This is also our relative, and it is also the bloodline left by our father, and it was also the daughter of my father's love for ten minutes. ”
Emperor Lu Jin hurriedly said: "This is nature, and that is also my big sister." "Big sister's life is to be left behind. Otherwise, his reputation in the history books is not good. However, the eldest sister's husband and children will be killed. to prevent future troubles. Just like the second sister, she built a magnificent princess's mansion in the capital, and raised her without worrying about food and clothing, to be precise, under house arrest.
Lu Yao said: "In a few days, Xiaoyuan and I will go back to Baiyu Lake. There's so much going on there. In the meantime, we may not be able to come back for several years. When the eldest brother defeats the Chu State, please ask Elder Mei of the Xishan Immortal Sect to give me a message. When the time comes, Xiaoyuan and I will naturally come back to meet with the eldest sister. “
"During this period, all the land that was conquered by the Chu State, my brother should not forget to ask Elder Mei of the Xishan Immortal Gate to lead people to search for mortals with spiritual roots in various places? That's the most important thing. ”
Lu Jin understood that, in fact, the strength of the cultivation realm was the foundation of the Yu Kingdom. Therefore, he himself attaches great importance to this. Lu Jin said: "Please rest assured, sister, this matter will be handled well." ”
Lu Yao nodded and said, "In addition to this matter, when I went to the Shangqing Sect, I asked my brother to pay attention to the collection of elixirs, spirit grasses, and strange ores that I had drawn. How's my brother doing? ”
Lu Jinbu hurriedly said: "This thing has been sitting all the time. There are also special officials in the imperial court who manage this. I also collected a lot of things. However, since the Jin Kingdom was defeated, we have looted the treasury of the Jin Kingdom, and we have obtained a lot of things, all of which have been sent to Xishan Xianmen. ”
Lu Yao nodded.
At this time, the little eunuch outside came to spread the word, and the second princess arrived.
Lu Yao hurriedly said, "Please come in, second sister." ”
There was a ringing sound, and a group of palace maids surrounded a woman who was nearly thirty years old, with a beautiful appearance, a splendid body, and a head full of delicate jewelry, but it was difficult to hide the ruthless spirit between her eyebrows.
This is Lu Yao's second sister, the second princess from Queen Ling, and Lu Ying, the noble concubine of the Jin Kingdom.
When Lu Ying saw Emperor Lu Jin, although his eyes flashed with resentment, he still made a salute, shouted long live the mountain, and bowed to the emperor.
Seeing Lu Yao and Lu Yuan sitting high on the throne, especially Lu Yuan, who has grown up now, looks very much like his father when he was young. Lu Ying couldn't help but be in a trance.
When Lu Yuan was born, Lu Ying had already married far away. Therefore, this is the first time Lu Ying has seen this younger brother who has gone to cultivate and is said to be advanced.
After reading his younger brother, Lu Ying set his eyes on his sister, the third princess Lu Yao.
For this sister, Lu Ying hated it from the bottom of his skin. Her own queen mother can be said to have been defeated at her hands. The Ling family, the foreign family, was also cleaned up by Lu Yao before Xiuzhen. Only one side branch escaped with his life and went to the state of Chu. Later, his husband's family, Jin Guo, also helped Lu Jin, the emperor of Yu State, to be destroyed after this sister Xiuzhen returned.
It can be said that the culprit of the destruction of his own family and the death of his husband and son is his own sister, Lu Yao.
Lu Ying looked at Lu Yao in a daze, and for a while, the thoughts in his heart were tumbling.
Lu Yao didn't think much about it. The second sister's appearance has not changed much, looking at this dress, as well as this skin, fingers, should still live a pampered life, the skin is a little paler, I think it is because of the seclusion in the house.
Lu Yao opened his mouth and said: "Second sister, our brothers and sisters are the only bloodlines left in the world by our father. Although there are all kinds of entanglements between us, after all, we are all the children of our father. I'm not going to embarrass you. Brother Emperor won't embarrass you. Today, Xiaoyuan and I went to worship my father. In the future, after the Chu State was defeated, we took the eldest sister back, and we went to worship our father together. When the time comes, the second sister will also have someone to accompany her. ”
As soon as Lu Ying heard this, her old sorrows and old hatreds were hooked together, and she couldn't help but be resentful, and for a while, hatred replaced reason, and she hissed and shouted: "You still want to harm the eldest sister, do you think that the Chu State is as weak as my Jin Kingdom?" Are you waiting to kick the iron plate? (To be continued.) )
