On the way back, Lu Ling also asked the doubts in his heart, because he had never seen so many troops appear before, and today was the first time he had met him: "Uncle Cheng, who were those people just now?"

Cheng Bo glanced at Lu Ling and said patiently: "Our Lianshan Town, Qingshan Town and several other surrounding towns, because they are close to the Yanlan Mountain Range, are rich in products, and are an indispensable transit station for the empire to collect resources in the mountain range, so the empire has always been worried about the safety here, just a hundred miles south of the middle of the two main towns, a full brigade of 30,000 people is stationed, and the leader is this General Huwei;"

"Don't underestimate the military, most people think that our Lu and Tang families are the overlords in this area, in fact, the real power is the empire, the Huwei general just now is an existence beyond the Ning Dan realm, and in that army, there are no less than three such existences;"

Cheng Bo paused and said again: "Actually, if it weren't for them, it would not have been possible for our towns to be established in that beast tide a few decades ago, usually they would hardly care too much about things like today, only a few special circumstances will they interfere in the affairs of the city;"

"What special circumstances?" Lu Ling asked.

"One is the outbreak of animal tides, and the other is the mass slaughter of civilians, both of which are reasons for their direct intervention, and once they intervene, it means that the matter is serious;"

"There is also a kind of large-scale armed fighting between cities, and when there is a great chaos, they will send a few teams of people over, but they will only maintain order, but they will never participate in or stop the struggle, except in these three cases, they will not care about anything else;"

"And outside the city, no matter how much they fight, even if there are many dead and injured martial artists, they will not ask, but if it is a civilian, they will be held responsible, and the two people who died just now are civilians at first glance, but they happened to be met by him, so they had to ask and go through the motions;"

"Why don't they ask about the death of martial artists, but the most ordinary civilians have to ask?" Lu Ling asked curiously.

Cheng Bo sighed: "This has a lot to do with the current emperor, as soon as he ascended the throne, he issued a decree to the whole country, saying that civilians are the foundation of the country, and no wanton killing is allowed, and he also ordered that the cities of the whole country, no civilians shall be blocked or charged, and the official must give the greatest care so that they can survive stably;"

"In short, after this generation of emperors ascended the throne, although the commoners of the empire have lived a bitter life, it is indeed much better than before, at least the situation of treating ordinary people's lives as if they were mustard has been greatly reduced;"

"After that, the emperor issued a decree to the whole country that any magic related to martial arts should be open to all the people and martial arts for free, and even at any cost, find the best magic techniques from outside the empire, and then popularize them throughout the country, as long as you are a member of the empire, you only need to go to the city lord's mansion to apply for the cultivation of the law, so that the common people have the qualifications to become human masters;"

As he spoke, he looked at Lu Ling and said with a smile: "By the way, the spirit induction technique you cultivated was only spread decades ago, and many people said at that time that this was the best basic method in the whole continent;"

After hearing this, Lu Ling was secretly frightened by the emperor's courage, so many favors, how many people's interests had to be touched, you must know that almost all of the 100,000 people in Lianshan Town were civilians and martial artists, and the warriors counted them on one hand, it was undeniable that he succeeded!

"By the way, Uncle Cheng, I know what you said about the struggle between cities just now, but why don't they care about this;" This is a question that Lu Ling has long been curious about, so he simply solved the puzzle at one time.

"Ugh;"

Cheng Bo sighed, shook his head and said: "This is also the order of His Majesty the Emperor, cities of the same level can attack each other, cities of the lower level can attack the cities of the higher level, but the cities of the higher level cannot suppress and hinder the development of the cities of the lower level, of course, the struggle is limited to the actual control of the two cities;"

"For example, my Lu Tang family is actually in control of the power of Lianshan Town, if we can conquer the control of another city of the same level, then that city is our master, so that the family will control the two cities;"

"When a city's strength is reached, you can apply for an upgrade, and those who successfully upgrade can get the empire's fifty-year battle-free card, and during this period, no city can attack him;"

"The temptation in this is too great, and at the same time, the casualties are also terrifying, because this is not counting casualties, so as soon as this order came out, the whole country was shocked, during that time, the entire empire was full of swords and swords, until now, I can't figure out why;"

As soon as the order is out, there are more than a million corpses, this is what Lu Ling thought of, this kind of openness makes people feel chills in their hearts when they think about it, the family of Deli will become stronger and stronger, do you think it is unfair? That's just that you are not strong enough.

The empire is forcing everyone to fight, and every three years, the Lu and Tang families will pay a large proportion of taxes to the empire, and they dare not be sloppy in this matter, which shows the control of the empire, and it is impossible to do this without strength.

After a while, the group finally returned to Lu Mansion, and Lu Ping had already woken up, the hidden weapon on his body was naturally non-toxic, and it had already been taken out, so the other party could move freely, but the strange smell of his body made people dare not approach, and the eyes that looked at Lu Ling were hateful and afraid, and he was no longer arrogant in the past.

Uncle Cheng said to a few family members: "A few of you, take the eldest young master to change and wash;"

Then he said to Lu Ling, "Fifth Young Master, let's go to the lobby to meet the elders;"

In the lobby of the Lu family, there were only four elders inside, and when they saw Lu Ling coming in, the most excited person was the second elder, who immediately got up and asked, "Ling'er, I heard that you are fine, great, you have been there for the past few days, why is there no news at all, and what is the matter with the injury on your face;"

Hearing the second elder's worried words, Lu Ling still replied politely: "In the past few days, I just went out of the city to the edge of the mountain range, and after returning to the city, I delayed some time in the city, and the injury on my face was nothing, but I accidentally touched some beasts, and I was careless to let the other party scratch some skin, so as not to get in the way;"

As soon as the words fell, the voices of several elders rang out.

"That's good, that's good;"

"It's okay;"

Hearing these words, including the fact that the Great Elder also said this, Lu Ling looked at his uncle, and said in his heart: "What tricks does this old man want to play?"

He reluctantly clenched his fists casually and replied expressionlessly: "Lu Ling thanked the Great Elder for his concern;"

Then I also thanked the third and fourth uncles plainly.

At this time, the housekeeper whispered a few words in the ears of several elders, and then the second elder Zhengse asked, "Ling'er, you have a dispute with your cousin again?"

Lu Ling was about to explain, but the second elder said again: "We have already understood the matter, you have done a good job in this matter, Ping'er is indeed too much, you don't have to care about anything;"

Looking at the Great Elder, Lu Ling was a little confused, this kind of thing was actually mentioned by the Second Elder first, and the Great Elder didn't say a word? This is his eldest son?

Noticing Lu Ling's eyes, the Great Elder said loudly: "Lu Ling, I will restrain Ping'er when I go back, and I will deal with this matter!"

The Great Elder who was seated by the Lord spoke up at this time, and said such a sentence, which was not normal than if he did not speak.

Lu Ling slowly approached Uncle Cheng with some confusion and asked in a low voice, "Uncle Cheng, what does this old man mean?"

If it was according to the previous scene, the great elder above would definitely be the calf protector regardless of whether he was right or wrong, but today he actually made a 180-degree turn, no, it turned several times.

At this time, the third elder who saw this scene next to him said directly: "Ling'er, what the Great Elder wants to express means that he will not target you again in the future, so don't be angry with your uncle, now we are going to talk about another matter;"

The tone of the words changed: "The housekeeper just said that the dead soldiers arranged by the family to be by Lu Ping's side were subdued by you, and you are still unharmed, you don't have to deny this, we are just surprised, how did you do it?"

Hearing this, Lu Ling knew that he couldn't hide it, and who said that he was unscathed, he still remembered that a handful of his hair had fallen out.

I hope they don't think too much about it, so they clenched their fists and admitted: "I subdued it, but, as for how to subdue it, this is my secret, and I hope a few uncles will forgive me;"

The second elder immediately answered, "Everyone has their own secrets, so we won't ask about it anymore, it's just that I'm curious about what your current realm is?"

After asking, everyone looked at Lu Ling expectantly, and Lu Ling hesitated a little: "Do you want to tell the truth, if you don't tell the truth, these phenomena today can't be explained, to be honest, will there be something that I can't deal with? What the hell are they doing!"

Seeing that Lu Ling was silent, the Great Elder sitting on the Lord said bluntly: "Ling'er, just tell the truth, our uncles are not targeting you, and I will not target you again in the future;"

Hearing the words of the Great Elder, he said in his heart: "Then let's tell the truth, and I am in the Spirit Realm, just say one is probably not specific, who knows that I have actually opened up more than 600 tricks, and I still have the means of secret weapons;"

He replied in a deep voice: "My current realm has just stepped into the peak of the Enlightened Spirit Realm;"

"What?"

"How is this possible?"

"Really?"

The four of them jumped up from their seats at once, and with a few momentums permeating the entire hall, everyone stared at him in shock, so frightened that Lu Ling's whole body trembled, and he almost habitually threw out a hidden weapon, but fortunately he endured it.

I was secretly shocked in my heart: "The four old guys are actually all in the Ning Dan Realm, okay;"

"You~ You said it is true?Ling Er, we don't have an elder or an elder here today, only an uncle and nephew, the second uncle asks you again, are you really the peak of the Spiritual Realm?" the second elder asked in a trembling voice!

The Great Elder walked down excitedly and asked aloud, "That's right, Ling'er, you can't tease a few uncles, you are really the peak of the Spirit Realm?"

Looking at the excited appearance of these elders, although Lu Ling was a little inexplicable, he still nodded calmly,

"God, how can you be so joking, I'm guilty!" Who knows, when the other elders were excited, the second uncle next to him actually cried inexplicably.

The Great Elder said dissatisfiedly: "Second brother, this is my Lu family, what are you talking about?"
