Section 116: Yingzong

Lu Qikun sat upright on the chair, his fingers constantly tapping on the table, in order to vent the uneasiness in his heart. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 The things that the info night owl said were too shocking, which made Lu Qikun extremely uneasy and frightened.

Lu Qikun took a deep breath to calm down the negative emotions that arose, and tried his best to keep himself calm, staring at the night owl and saying, "What kind of treasure is it?"

The Night Stalker shook his head and said, "I don't know, or no one knows." ”

Lu Qikun was silent and thought about a question abruptly, his expression was gloomy, and his tone was indifferent, "It will take three days to get from Yingdu to Shou County, even if it is not a heavy snow, and it is impossible for the Night Owl Army to come to Shou County in just three days, and get the news of the fall of Niuxiakou in such a short time, the general has been looking for the heavy treasure of the Rong clan."

Today is the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, that is, the sixth day of January in the nineteenth year of King Chu Hui, Lu Qikun took two days to come to Shoujun after receiving the edict of King Chu, and it took three days to reach Shouchun in Shoujun, and he came to Shoushui non-stop during the night rest in Shouchun, and it took a total of six days to come to Wangcheng at noon today.

Lu Qikun and Yunhe are both cavalry, and whether it is Lu Qikun's white dragon or the war horse ridden by 3,000 Yunhe, it can be said that they are all first-class BMWs, although they are not as flat as walking on the ground in heavy snow, but it took six days to reach it.

But now there are too many night owl troops in Wangcheng, far more than only dozens, otherwise Wangcheng will not be easily defended, especially when Lu Qikun asked the deputy general before, how many soldiers of the night owl army are there in the east of Shoushui, and the deputy general's answer made Lu Qikun very surprised at that time. You must know that Shoujun is a county in the territory of Chu and close to Yingdu, even if the king of Chu releases his son, he does not need to send hundreds of night owl soldiers.

The night owl was silent.

Lu Qikun continued, "It took me six days to come to Wangcheng with Yunhe Cavalry, and the Night Owl Army led by the Night Stalker General came so quickly, I guess there is some reason why I don't know it."

The Night Stalker shook his head and said, "It's confidential, I don't have the right to tell you"

Lu Qikun took a deep breath and said, "General, Yunhe Cavalry is not invincible, even if he has a record of one enemy against a hundred, it is still facing the princes of the Central Plains, not the powerful and ruthless Rong clan."

The night owl sighed and knew the meaning of Lu Qikun's words, but he couldn't reveal anything about this matter anyway.

Lu Qikun was slightly angry after seeing the appearance of the night owl, "General, do you really want to see my three thousand cloud cranes riding without fear of dying under the blade of the Rong clan, ignoring the ten thousand Chu people east of Shoushui who are about to die."

The night owl looked up at Lu Qikun and said, "General, you are a smart person, how can you not guess?"

Lu Qikun suddenly got up and looked at the night owl angrily.

"General, General Ben is tired," the night owl finished speaking, closed his eyes, lay on the bed, and did not continue to pay attention to Lu Qikun

Lu Qikun clenched his hands into fists and stared at the night owl with his eyes closed.

Squeak squeak ~~~~

At this moment, the door was pushed open, and the white snow came to the room with the cold wind, and a spirited old man stood at the door, the old man was wearing a wide white coat, and the delicate black Chu clothes inside. Lu Qikun looked at the old man with anger towards the night owl, and the night owl with his eyes closed also opened his eyes, and his expression became solemn the moment he saw the old man.

The "clan elder" night owl hurriedly said, wanting to salute but his whole body was weak and weak, so he could only lean on the bed helplessly.

Clan elder, this is a unique title of the Chu office, and he is a member of the office who is higher than the king of Chu in the Chu office.

The clan elder motioned to the night owl not to move, and then looked at Lu Qikun and said, "General, don't be embarrassed about the night owl, your doubts can be solved below."

Lu Qikun looked at the old man tightly, and although he was surprised by the identity of the old man, the anger in his heart did not weaken in the slightest.

The old man didn't care about Lu Qikun's demeanor, he just smiled and said, "Old decay and Mi Dan, now the junior sect head of the Chu State Office"

In an instant, Lu Qikun's boundless anger was extinguished, and he was only surprised by the shock.

There are three sects in the Chu State Office, which are divided into large sects and small sects, the large sect is naturally not said to be the line of the King of Chu, and the small sect is divided into the Yingzong and the Seven Sects, of which the Yingzong is the side line of the King of Chu and the members of the office that manages the Yingdu, as for the seven sects are the distant relatives of the Chu Wang's office, and the members of the seven county offices are managed.

There is no such title as the head of the sect in the major sects, and only two small sects have the title of the head of the sect.

Now that the old man in front of him is the patriarch of one of the two small sects, how can he not surprise and shock Lu Qikun.

Moreover, Yingzong and the Seven Sects do not have any rights in the Chu State, but they are also a force to be reckoned with in the Chu State, after all, there are many princes and nobles in the Chu State, even if the bloodline with the Great Sect is very thin, but they can't stand the rights in the hands of the children of such a clan, just like the princes and nobles in Shou County, who have real land and rights, but there are only two or three people who have real land and rights, but there are hundreds of thousands of members of the office who have become the Qing family.

"General Army, please move, General Night Stalker is injured and needs to rest," the clan elder smiled, and then left.

Lu Qikun looked at the night owl on the bed, and thought of the old man in front of him appearing here, and his heart suddenly brightened.

The old man in the main hall of the front yard sat on the first place, picked up the fragrant tea that the slave had prepared a long time ago, and slowly tasted it. Lu Qikun came to the main hall and sat in the position of the old man nearby, waiting for the old man to speak with a solemn expression.

Even if the other party was the patriarch of the Chu Clan, he couldn't calm the anger in Lu Qikun's heart, but Lu Qikun didn't dare to be too presumptuous.

After all, no matter what changes have occurred since Zongxia, the trust between the Son of Heaven and the princes will always be the same room with whom he is related by blood. Even if the state of Chu ordered the children of the public office not to hold great power during the reign of King Zhuang of Chu, the real core power of the state of Chu is still in the hands of the office.

For example, the current Marquis of Jing, such as the governor of the seven counties of Chu State.

The patriarch put down the fragrant tea in his hand, looked at Lu Qikun, who had a calm expression but indifferent eyes, and couldn't help but laugh and didn't care about the other party's attitude.

"The army general, your guess is right, I, Da Chu, have been looking for the heavy treasure of the Rong clan," the clan elder said slowly.

Lu Qikun said in a deep voice, "The night owl is not so much the room in the hands of the King of Chu, but the room in the hands of the office, but I don't know that the clan elder is the head of the clan."

"The patriarch of the Yingzong Sect," Mi Dan smiled.

"Yingzong" Lu Qikun muttered to himself, and couldn't help but recall the origin of Yingzong.

In an instant, Lu Qikun looked at Mi Dandao and said, "There is a record in the history of Chu: in the ninth year of King Chuzhuang, Tianhuo Nanran immediately converged and entered the Chu Palace, and the second son of the King of Chu was named Phoenix and Phoenix."

"Since then, the Chu royal family has been divided into three sects," Qi Dan said after Lu Qikun's words.

Lu Qikun continued, "Prince Feng inherited the throne for King Chu Mu, and Gongzi Huang disappeared without a trace after that, I think he changed his name and came to Shou County as the governor, and he also came to find the heavy treasure deliberately left by the Rong clan at the beginning. ”

"That's right," Mi Dan continued without the slightest concealment, "After the ancestor King Chuzhuang achieved hegemony, he went to the former capital of Zongxia to meet the Son of Heaven and was rewarded by the Son of Heaven, and among them there are ancient books about the Rong clan, especially the detailed records of the Battle of Shuize. ”

"Among them, there is a treasure about the Rong clan," Lu Qikun asked.

The clan elder nodded and admitted: "It's not so much the heavy treasure of the Rong clan, but the heavy treasure of the earth emperor." ”

"What," Lu Qikun stood up in surprise after hearing the words of the clan elder.
