No. 504 Demon Suppression (2)

The status of Luo Er's mother indirectly reflects Luo Er's suffering.

Luo Er's memories of the Zhu family are probably desperate to live, survive the whipping, survive the cold in winter and the heat in summer, and being able to survive intact is a victory. After a few years, Luo's second sister grew up as a girl, and then desperately continued the fate of Luo's second mother, becoming a half-concubine, half-maid and half-slave of the Zhu family.

This is not the most desperate.

Maybe Uncle Zhu was confused, or maybe Uncle Zhu was afraid of karma before he died, and in a picturesque scenery where the sun was setting in the west, he suddenly whispered the cruel truth. It turned out that Luo Da's death was not accidental, the truth was that Zhu Laozhang instructed someone to make a black hand and took advantage of the chaos to hammer Luo Da to death; It turned out that it was no accident that Second Grandpa Luo died, the truth was that Old Master Zhu instructed someone to make a black hand and push Second Grandpa Luo into the icy river; It turned out that the official family was not thin on Luo Er's father, and the generous rewards given by Sun Quan to Luo Er's father were secretly divided between Zhu Laozhang and a group of small officials; It turned out that the bankruptcy of the Luo family's blacksmith shop and the strange reduction in production in the fields in 216 were all the handiwork of Uncle Zhu.

The reason is also very simple, Zhu Laozhang is greedy for Tuluo's blacksmith shop, Zhu Laozhang is greedy for Tuluo's second father's military industry, and Zhu Laozhang is greedy for Tuluo's second mother's beauty.

Although he was bullied in the Zhu family, Luo Er has always thanked Zhu Lao Zhang's life-saving grace. If it weren't for Uncle Zhu's timely help, the three members of the Luo family would have starved to death, and it was an extravagant hope to be bullied. The conscience of heaven and earth, who would have thought that the life-saving benefactor would be the great evil person who pushed them into the abyss?

Luo Er's mother, who suddenly heard the truth, was stupid.

Luo Er grabbed the kitchen knife with red eyes even more hatred, and angrily slashed the entire Zhu family to death. But how can the reality be so happy and revengeful, before Luo Er rushed out of the courtyard, Luo Er's mother stopped him crying. Regardless of the reason for being slaves and servants, Luo Er's mother and Luo Er's sister have gradually established an emotional bond with the Zhu family over the years, and Luo's second sister gave birth to two children for the Zhu family. A sentence of revenge is easy, but what about the future? hacked Zhu to death, not only Luo Er had to lose his life, but Luo Er's sister and her children also had to go to a new desperate situation.

The past, the past is over, Luo Er's mother persuaded Luo Er.

Zhu Laozhang is a distant relative of Zhu Huan, a former general of Eastern Wu and a pastor of Qingzhou, and usually relies on Zhu Huan's official authority to do power in the local area; When Zhu Huan needs to replenish new soldiers, Zhu Laozhang must also assume the corresponding obligations with the surname Zhu. In the troubled times, there were many conquests, and the Eastern Wu regime became more and more class-solidified, and it was difficult for small soldiers to rely on heroic combat to break through the shackles of class. On the contrary, Luo Er's father died on the battlefield in the front, and Luo Er's mother was bullied by the big clan officials in the back, which is a more common phenomenon. Because of the few advantages and disadvantages, the good family is more and more reluctant to join the army as a small soldier, and the Zhu family branches only want to enjoy Zhu Huan's residual power, and do not want to send their heirs to Zhu Huan's tent to die.

Because she was afraid that Luo Er would not be able to control her emotions, Luo Er's mother worked hard and persuaded Luo Er to take the initiative to fill in the military service and rush to the front line to serve Zhu Huan, the former general of Eastern Wu.

Luo Er was unwilling to do so.

Luo Er hated his mother for being a tiger, hated her sister for being a thief and her father, although he couldn't bear to hurt his mother and sister, he was determined to avenge his father. Luo Er resented Zhu's family, and even resented Zhu Huan who supported Zhu's father-in-law, if it weren't for Zhu Huan's power, how could the little officials in Wu County protect Zhu's father-in-law everywhere? Only by bringing down Zhu Huan can we completely destroy Zhu's family.

Luo Er knew that Zhu Huan was a high-ranking official, so he carefully hid the hatred in his heart, and temporarily tried to play Zhu Erlang, a clansman surnamed Zhu who was loyal to Zhu Huan. I have to say that the skin of the clansmen is quite effective, and Luo Er or Zhu Erlang quickly won Zhu Huan's trust and was selected as a substitute for the pro-guards.

In 236, the opportunity came.

In the early summer of this year, a military conflict broke out between Sun Quan and Liu Bei, and Sun Quan ordered Quan Cong to be the commander-in-chief, and the governor Zhu Huan and others would reinforce Peng Lize. Maybe Zhu Huan and other veterans rely on the old and sell the old, or maybe because of other factors, Zhu Huan and other generals have extremely poor performance in the battle formation. Based on certain considerations, Quan Cong was ready to split the main force and reorganize it for later use.

As mentioned earlier, in order to stabilize the foundation of Jiangdong, Sun Quan took the initiative to implement the private army system and compromise with famous families. By 236, the private army system had been fully formed, and the phenomenon of not losing the tail was very serious. Zhu Huan is a particularly typical private general, on the one hand, he is light on wealth and righteousness, and all the rewards for military merits are selflessly distributed to the soldiers, which is very popular with the soldiers; On the other hand, he confessed to Sun Quan and other high-level officials, saying that he was driven by shame. Whenever he was not allowed to command the troops freely, Zhu Huan used the army's will to support the troops and respect himself, and complained about refusing to cooperate with his generals.

Zhu Huan was angry at Quan Cong's military arrangement and roared in front of him to express his opposition. Quan Cong, the nominal commander-in-chief, had no choice but to help Zhu Huan, a veteran, not only did not suppress Zhu Huan, but instead cowered and pushed the responsibility to the partial general Hu Zong. Zhu Huan looked down on Quan Cong and even looked down on Hu Zong, and immediately prepared to give Hu Zong a dismount. As a result, because of some accidents, Hu Zong learned of Zhu Huan's intentions in advance and took the time to slip away. Zhu Huan was immediately furious, and immediately killed the guards who were suspected of reporting the news and the soldiers who were admonishing him, indirectly inducing a political whirlpool.

Zhu Erlang felt that the time was ripe, and hurriedly brought a pile of black materials that he had finally collected to see Quan Cong, hoping to completely bring down Zhu Huan this time. Unexpectedly, things developed unexpectedly, and instead of punishing Zhu Huan, Sun Quan verbally promised that Zhu Huan would have the opportunity to command 50,000 soldiers alone in the future. Zhu Erlang was stunned for a moment: "Such a domineering general doesn't dare to punish him, Sun Quan, how can you be so cowardly?" ”

In addition to being disappointed, Zhu Erlang was afraid of Zhu Huan's upcoming revenge. Fortunately, Zhu Erlang was very lucky, Quan Cong did not abandon him, and suggested that he continue to monitor Zhu Huan.

Through Quan Cong, Zhu Erlang came into contact with the secrets of the immortal seeds for a long time, and learned that Zhu Huan might be secretly collecting the treasures of heaven and earth.

It is said that in 220 years, Cao Cao moved to Tun Li'an County as a symbol, and the saying that the treasures of heaven and earth can prolong life gradually spread throughout Kyushu. In 222, Liu Bei became seriously ill, fused with the seeds of immortality, and lived in Xunyang County from then on; In 234, Zhuge Liang was seriously ill, and he also fused the seeds of immortality, continued to work for Liu Bei, and so on. Prolonging life is so coveted, even Cao Cao, Liu Bei, Zhuge Liang and other heroes who do not want to be bound by the seeds of immortality in Lujiang County, when they are on the verge of death, they do not hesitate to rush to Lujiang County to survive.

Just ask the heroes of the world, who doesn't want to live longer?

Quan Cong envied the treasures of heaven and earth, and Zhu Huan also envied the treasures of heaven and earth.

In fact, all the older Wenchen generals are eager to refine the treasures of heaven and earth to prolong their lives.

Unfortunately, the total number of immortal seeds is limited.

In 239 years, the total number of immortal seeds was only 87. After deducting the proportion of the Absolute Holy Gate, deducting the share of the three forces such as Zhou Yu's Yibao Camp, Cao Cao's Tiger and Leopard Camp, and Liu Bei's Wudang Camp, and then deducting the circulation of animals and plants, how many immortal seeds can there be in Dongwu? Sun Quan founded the Relief Camp to this day, and only a few cronies such as Lu Meng have been fortunate enough to be rewarded with strange treasures from heaven and earth. Neither Quan Cong nor Zhu Huan had any hope of receiving heaven and earth treasures with Sun Quan's love.

However, Zhu Huan also wants to live a long life.

Looking around at the public opinion environment of various kingdoms, in order to appease people's hearts, leaders such as Sun Quan, Cao Cao, and Liu Bei generally acquiesced to two rules: the first way was to follow the contribution system of the Absolute Holy Gate, and distribute a limited number of heaven and earth treasures based on merit; On the second path, if someone is lucky enough to refine the Heaven and Earth Treasure, no matter whether their previous merits are high or low, they will be added to the Immortal Camp as usual. This second way is the only way out for Zhu Huan and other generals. Since Sun Quan couldn't count on it, Zhu Huan could only cross the Relief Camp to collect the strange treasures in person, and then use his "luck" to advance to the immortals.

However, Zhu Huan is too old.

Zhu Huan was born in 177 and was 59 years old in 236.

Zhu Huan didn't have the ability to compete with the immortals for collection efficiency, nor did he have enough time to wait for luck to come.

In the face of the horror of death, Zhu Huan was shocked and delusional.

In recent years, Zhu Huan has paid close attention to the chaotic battle between the Relief Camp and the Wudang Camp, and accidentally learned a secret: "The alien hero is also a treasure of heaven and earth, and refining the alien hero can also awaken the sense of internal strength and improve cultivation." ”

This news cannot be determined to be true or false for the time being. But Zhu Huan is afraid of helplessness and waiting for old age to die, and his thoughts are becoming more and more extreme, even if this news is false, he has to give it a try. And because of the distance between the Absolute Holy Gate, the Tiger and Par Camp, the Wudang Camp, and the Strange Treasure Camp, Zhu Huan wanted to kill the advanced immortals, and the target could only be aimed at the immortals in the Relief Camp.

At the same time, Quan Cong had the idea of "praying mantis catching cicadas, and yellow finches behind". First, Zhu Huan took on the notoriety of assassinating the elder of the Relief Battalion, and then Quan Cong accidentally appeared in time to devour the fruits of victory, verifying whether the human immortal who refining the alien hero could awaken his sense of internal strength.

Zhu Huan ignored the courage of the state system, and the deceit between Quan Cong and Zhu Huan gave Zhu Erlang an opportunity to take advantage of. At the critical moment, Zhu Erlang decisively betrayed Quan Cong and Zhu Huan, and personally killed the immortals of the Liberation Camp, the advanced level 1 immortals in the blood.

Proving that the Killing Human Alien Fruit can awaken the sense of internal strength, Zhu Erlang immediately used the wisdom he learned from Zhu Laozhang, Zhu Huan, Quan Cong and others to set off a monstrous wave in Lujiang County in the south. Zhu Erlang first secretly reported the death of the immortal to the Relief Camp, and when the Relief Camp asked Zhu Huan to give a reasonable explanation, Zhu Erlang suddenly backhanded and pretended to be a strange hero of the Relief Camp to assassinate Zhu Huan. Subsequently, Zhu Erlang shouted to catch the thief again, howling and crying with the faces of Zhu Huan's cronies, and clamoring for the atmosphere of Zhu Huan's cronies to avenge Zhu Huan. After the crowd was excited, Zhu Erlang ignored Wang Fa and raided the camp of the Relief Camp, and frantically washed the living of the Relief Battalion, and the commander of the Relief Battalion, Lu Meng, was almost killed.

This is not the end.

Proving that Killing Alien Heroes can indeed quickly improve their cultivation, Zhu Erlang quickly held Quan Cong hostage and indirectly mastered more than 20,000 Jiangdong elites. Zhu Erlang ordered his cronies, who had just awakened their sense of internal strength, to pretend to be the Relief Camp and cooperate with the non-immortal troops under Quan Cong's name to launch an indiscriminate attack on Zhou Yu and Lu Su's Yibao Camp and Liu Bei's Wudang Battalion. In just over a month, more than a dozen immortals from the three forces of the Relief Camp, the Strange Treasure Camp, and the Wudang Camp died tragically in the disaster of Zhu Erlang.

In addition, Cao Cao and Liu Bei both chose immortality before they died, and Sun Quan was naturally no exception. Sun Quan was unwilling to be bound to Lujiang County early, but he was afraid that he would suddenly become seriously ill, so he ordered the Relief Camp to secretly store 3 immortal seeds in case of emergency. Once he was seriously ill and dying, Sun Quan immediately traveled up the river from Jianye and rushed to Luling County to refine the strange treasure and advance to the first level of immortality.

Sun Quan never expected that the treasures of heaven and earth that he carefully treasured would eventually become Zhu Erlang's experience value.
