The prince has a lot of eyeliner around him, and he can almost be said to be clear about what is happening inside and outside the capital. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

King Jingning and Princess Jing'an also took a fancy to these wild beasts.

Yang Tianhong used a knife to slash and kill the desolate beast in Lufu, as if he didn't want money, and slaughtered three water-avoiding golden-eyed beasts and ten Xuantian horses.

If the Lu family had a more flexible mind, they should have handed over the remaining three Xuantian Horses to Yang Kai to bring back. However, the father and son of the Lu family were really greedy, and they wanted to balance the overall situation, so they announced in front of everyone that they were going to hold some hellish auction.

The prince really moved to kill this time. Even if those three Xuantian horses did not die, the prince had made up his mind to completely eliminate the power of the Lu family.

To say this kind of thing in a small way is not to be believed. To put it mildly, it is to put himself as a prince in his eyes at all. They always wanted to balance and win over various relationships, and they didn't think that the prince was the most powerful of all the forces. Anyway, since you don't look down on this palace, this palace will let your family die.

Lu Jing also followed the Huangmen chamberlain all the way to the prince's mansion, and gradually sorted out the order in his mind and figured out the key.

all said: Chaowen said, it is okay to die at night. If you think you think it through, it's too late.

The reason why he did not deny the 50 million taels of silver compensation proposed by the prince before was that Lu Jing was lucky and felt that he could take a chance with the wealth of the Lu family. Now it seems that he is still too naïve.

Lu Jing was silent for a long time before he said slowly: "What Your Highness asks for is nothing more than money and foreign things. The old man shouldn't have asked much about this, but before he died, he had two more requests. ”

The prince pursed his lips and sneered, "You have a lot of words, and you have a lot of requirements. The prisoners under the ghost's knife are at most drinking a bowl of gallant wine. You're fine, and you're going to have to talk a lot of nonsense. ”

Lu Jing sighed. said: "I hope that His Royal Highness will spare the lives of the descendants of my Lu family." All the blame for the crime is borne by the old man alone. The wealth of the family is expensive, and His Royal Highness will take it by himself. ”

This requirement was similar to what the prince expected. He didn't answer, he didn't refuse, he thought for a few seconds, and the prince looked at Lu Jing: "Tell me about your second request." ”

Lu Jing's already pale face. An abnormal red color appeared. He clenched his fists, and his voice was obviously a little heavier than usual: "Prince Qiqi, the reason why the Lu family has fallen into such a field today is because of Yang Tianhong alone. The old man has no other wish in this life, only to ask for a promise from His Highness with all his family wealth before he dies. ”

The prince asked, "What promise?"

Lu Jing's eyes were full of incomparably hateful killing intent: "Ask Your Highness to behead the Yang family all over the house." If it doesn't work now, wait until His Royal Highness ascends to the throne in the future, find a reason, and cure him for the Yang family's crime of rebellion. ”

The prince's face suddenly became gloomy: "Are you blackmailing the palace?"

Lu Jing kowtowed heavily and hit the ground. There was a muffled sound of "dong dong", and the anger in his mouth was endless: "The old man definitely doesn't have such a mind." It's just that the hatred between the Lu family and the Yang family is deep, and it can't be resolved at all. Anyway, the Lu family has come to an end, no matter what, the old man wants the Yang family to accompany my Lu family to bury. ”

After a pause, Lu Jing raised his old face with a cracked scalp and covered in blood. He hissed and shouted, "There are millions of taels of silver hidden in the cellar of the Lu family. The old man is willing to give the silver with both hands. There is a mechanism in the silver cellar, so if you don't know the order, you can get around. The waters of the underground rivers will pour into the treasury and take all the silver with them. The old man knows that he will die, and he only asks His Royal Highness to give the old man a grace. ”

A hint of ferocity flashed in the prince's slender eyes. For a moment, his expression gradually calmed down, and he nodded slowly, but did not speak.

Lu Jing asked for a dagger.

He doesn't like poison. Although that way of dying is much simpler. No more courage is needed either. After all, slashing oneself with a knife is obviously more difficult to do than directly swallowing poisoned wine. However, Lu Jing did not like the feeling of poison piercing the intestines. He found it painful to do that. Or just stab it in the throat and die faster.

handed over the key to the Lu family's cellar and bowed to the prince, Lu Jing did not delay, turned the tip of the dagger in his hand, and plunged it into his throat.

Looking at the corpse lying on the ground and bleeding, a trace of disgust flashed in the prince's eyes.

The waiter of the Yellow Gate, who had come in with Lu Jing before, walked lightly to the prince's side, lowered his eyebrows and said, "Your Highness, how should the rest of the Lu family and others be handled?"

The prince obviously didn't care about what happened before, and said lightly: "The Lu family has been entrenched in the capital for many years, and they have done a lot of things to bully men and women, and there are quite complaints among the people. This time, someone reported that the Lu family had hidden weapons with the intention of rebellion. The order was issued, and the Donggong guards found more than 2,000 pieces of various weapons and 300 sets of armor in Lu's house. The evidence is ironclad, and everyone in the family is detained. When the palace shows his father, he will be transferred to Dali Temple and sentenced to be beheaded. ”

The waiter in the Yellow Gate was stunned, obviously suspecting that he had misheard something. He cautiously reminded, "What Your Highness said is the Lu family, not the Yang family?"

The prince was very dissatisfied with the attitude of the Yellow Gate's chamberlain. Slowly turned his head and glanced at him coldly: "Do you want to repeat it a second time in this palace?"

The waiter of the Yellow Gate didn't dare to say anything more, bowed his head to receive the order, and walked out quickly.

Looking at the back of the chamberlain, a trace of anger appeared on the prince's face.

Lu Jing dared to blackmail himself before he died. This is the first time I have encountered this kind of thing.

That's right, the silver in the Lu family's cellar is indeed full of temptation for the prince. But it's one thing to offer it with both hands, and it's another thing to coerce it with words. Originally, the prince didn't want to do things so desperately. At most, Lu Jing committed suicide, and half of the Lu family was killed, and it was almost the same. It's a pity that the old man still has to come to such a play before he dies, which completely ignited the fury in the prince's heart.

Do you think that this palace is a knife in your hand? I don't want to think about my identity, and actually asking this palace to do this and that for you is simply nonsense.

The Yang family was an important minister of the Great Chu court. From his ancestor Guangping Hou to his father Yi Yonghou, they are all super officials. A mere civilian, who dared to ask the palace to kill the big man, simply didn't know how to write the word "death".

If you don't exterminate the Lu family, how can you get rid of the anger in the heart of this palace?

Of course, there is another layer to consider.

After all, Yang Tianhong is a Xuanwu general appointed by his father. Although this son is not under his own jurisdiction, he has repeatedly ruined the good things of this palace. But he is still a military attache of the imperial court, especially in leading the troops in battle. Such talents. Even if you don't belong to yourself now, you have to work for yourself when you become a treasure in the future. The second child of the Lu family is simply dizzy and crazy, how could such an important person be killed at will because of a few million taels of silver?

As for those Xuantian horses, if they die, they will die. Since Yang Tianhong was able to catch more than a dozen at a time. It shows that he has a special ability in this area. Wouldn't it be much more cost-effective to envelop this kind of talent than to envelop a miser like the Lu family?

......

Camp of the Xuanhuo Army.

Xue Jinbiao, as a deputy general, did not fall behind in training.

When Emperor Shunming personally sealed the Xuanhuo Battalion and promoted the Xuanhuo Army, Yang Tianhong played with the words and set the upper limit of 10,000 soldiers as soldiers.

Looking at all countries in the world, this approach is clearly opportunistic.

Take a 10,000-strong army as an example, among which the soldiers who can fight are about sixty percent. Other words. When an army of 10,000 people actually went into battle to kill the enemy, the number of soldiers standing at the front with weapons in hand was about 6,000. The remaining 4,000 are baggage troops, engineering troops, cooking soldiers, and so on, which are dedicated to logistics, transportation, construction, and other affairs.

If an army can achieve such a proportion, it is enough to be regarded as a strong army in the world. Under normal circumstances, an army of 10,000 people often has about 30% of the soldiers. Logistics and supply personnel account for 70 percent, or even more.

This is not surprising.

March. It's not just a matter of words, you can draw a route on the map and get there. In order to reduce the burden, weapons and armor had to be transported on vehicles. After arriving at the designated place, it was distributed to the sergeants. Camp and rest at night, and engineers need to be responsible. Soldiers must retain sufficient strength to cope with any situation that may arise at any time. If the armor, knives and guns are damaged, they need to be repaired in time by the craftsmen of the army, otherwise if they go into battle against the enemy, there will be no chance of victory at all.

Yang Tianhong is not short of money. The Meng family's channels for secretly selling Yuanqi Dan were very stable, and they quickly returned a large sum of silver. The 10,000 soldiers of the Xuanhuo Army were fully manned. Weapons and armor are also high-quality and high-quality goods. After high-intensity training every day, the food is sufficient, and there is no half-point pool. If people have strength and hope, they will naturally have the desire to fight for their lives.

The number of personnel of the Xuanhuo Army exceeded the quota by more than two times. In addition to a large number of auxiliary personnel accompanying the army, Yang Tianhong also recruited more than 8,000 reserve supplementary soldiers. These people are not recorded in the official archives, and they will not cost half of the imperial silver. Of course, the treatment varies depending on the ability of each person. These people are all supported by Yang Tianhong with his own money, they are the dependent components of the Xuanhuo Army, and they are also the Xuanhuo Army's stable reliance to maintain strong combat effectiveness.

Three hundred mad blood green wolves appeared in the Xuanhuo Army, which immediately caused a sensation.

People came to watch, but no one dared to step forward. Despite having Yang Tianhong's bloodline control, it was a three-grade desolate beast after all, and it was also an extremely fierce wolf that specialized in feeding on flesh and blood.

Xue Jinbiao recounted the training results of the soldiers in the past few months in the big tent, and couldn't help but ask: "General, how do you plan to use those wild beasts outside?"

Since he had previously said that the previous battalion officer Yin Jianhua and others had been voted for, Yang Tianhong naturally regarded Xue Jinbiao as his henchman. He smiled and said, "The Xuanhuo Battalion is still an infantry to this day. Although there were a small number of horses, they were not enough to form cavalry. This time, Ben will get a large number of wild beasts in the Hessian mountains, and you can select excellent personnel from the army to form a wild beast cavalry team. ”

Xue Jinbiao's face was full of shock.

What is the concept of the Desolate Beast Cavalry?

Since it is a beast, of course, it is more ferocious than ordinary horses. It is no exaggeration to say that if these mad blood green wolves are placed on the battlefield, they are extremely powerful weapons in themselves. Not to mention being able to carry warriors and charge into battle. For ordinary beasts, desolate beasts have an innate deterrent effect. Even if it is a meek Xuan Tianjun, ordinary horses will only avoid it from a distance, and they will not dare to step forward at all. The suppression effect from the depths of the bloodline is too powerful, like the natural enemy relationship between a cat and a mouse.

Without the guidance of "True Spirit Records", Yang Tianhong would not have been able to form a desolate beast cavalry at all. Now, he had only selected the strongest of the three hundred mad blood green wolves from all the bloodline affiliations. The rest are still stocked in the animal park inside the Linglong Treasure Lock, and they are allowed to breed.

Xue Jinbiao is very good at the internal affairs of the barracks. Looking at the hideous-looking beasts outside the big tent, he himself felt overjoyed. The formation of cavalry affairs immediately patted his chest and accepted, and at the same time promised: as long as the mad blood green wolf itself is not a problem. Within three months, the Desolate Beast Cavalry should be able to bear fruit.

Through the channels of the Meng family, Yang Tianhong bought a large grange near the Xuanhuo Army station.

The number of fields here is about 500 hectares. The Zhuangzi is backed by a mountain behind it, far away from the river, and irrigation needs to be diverted from a distance, which is very troublesome. Therefore. The surrounding plots are all low-grade fields, not much crops can be grown, and the harvest is pitiful.

The Grange originally belonged to a rich man, and this kind of inferior Grange was not worth much in itself. Meng Qi bought it at a very low price, and opened up the relationship between the elders in the countryside and bought the entire barren mountain behind the village.

A lot of money was spilled, and a large number of workers were stationed. It was only two days before and after, and the Grange was full of busy people. Piles of building materials are everywhere. Stones and sand and ash were brought in in large quantities from the outside. The core part of Zhuangzi was completely rebuilt, and according to the drawings, a whole group of buildings of all sizes should be erected here. Roughly calculated, it can accommodate at least a few thousand people.

Yang Tianhong took Zhang Yan and other people from the Yuan Sect and walked into the blacksmith workshop under construction.

"Senior brother, please see, everything here is customized according to my Guiyuan Sect's requirements. All iron utensils are of the highest quality, and materials are also freely available. If you feel that something is missing, just bring it up. I'll send someone to solve it on the spot. ”

The Guiyuan Sect's skills in refining weapons are unparalleled in the world. This is also a fact recognized by all cultivation sects.

The whole world. I can't get rid of the word "order".

Taiyi Palace is recognized as the largest sect by all monks. The reason why there is such an event as the "Spring Day Competition" is of course because of the rules formulated by the monks in ancient times, but also because of the Taiyi Palace's control over the rules of the entire cultivation world.

Take the Guiyuan Sect as an example: the sect is not good at refining pills, and under normal circumstances, the number of pills issued to the disciples of the sect every year is short. This deficiency can only be the sale of self-refined magic weapons to the outside world. Exchange elixirs or herbs with other sects.

Just like a fisherman on the seashore who is tired of eating fish, he uses the fish and shrimp he catches to exchange fruits with the orchard farmers in the mainland, and each takes what he needs.

However, even normal business practices. There must also be a control over its quantity. If a fisherman catches too many fish and shrimp that exceeds the orchard farmer's limit, it will only lead to one result: one fish for one apple instead of two or even three fish for one apple. If there are more fish and shrimp, maybe five or six fish can be exchanged for one fruit.

When there are more things, the price will naturally become cheaper.

This is the law of the market.

In the cultivation world, the elixir should be regarded as the most special trading item. Because, while acting as a commodity, the elixir itself is also consumable. Each cultivation sect has its own alchemist, and although the level of alchemy varies, the quantity of the two basic pills, the Body Forging Pill and the Yuan Qi Pill, can produce an extremely large quantity every month in the cultivation world. The vast majority of these pills will not enter the market, but will be quickly consumed in the form of distribution to disciples. Even if the sects that are good at alchemy have stockpiles, the amount will not be too much.

Pills mean cultivation. This is the general law of the cultivation world. Although its status is equivalent to that of secular money, its functional effect is superior to that of money. Because the pill can be taken, the more you eat, the higher your cultivation in the corresponding realm.

In this case, another currency in place of the elixir appeared———— spirit stones.

The spirit stone itself also has psionic powers, which can be absorbed and used by monks. However, it is difficult to excavate the spirit stones, and there are very few veins. Overall, both elixirs and spirit stones were things that could increase the monk's abilities. The difference is that ordinary people can't use spirit stones, but taking pills can prolong life.

Whether it is an elixir or a spirit stone, it is the hard currency of the cultivation world, which is equivalent to the dollars and euros of the other world.

To arm an army, you need weapons.

The production of weapons is a very complex process. It involves raw material mining, ore smelting, weapon forging and other related affairs. All this needs to be supported by gold and silver currency, and if you don't have enough money, you can't talk about any weapons and equipment. However, the question is here, the key to the victory or defeat of the two armies is not only the soldiers and courage, but also whether the swords and guns in the hands are sharp and whether the armor is hard.

So, the problem turned back: if you want to kill your opponent and dominate the world, you must first have money. And it's not just three or four taels of silver, but the entire mountain of gold and silver.

The magic weapons used by monks are equivalent to weapons in the world.

Flying swords are just the most common of them.

Taking the price of weapons in Chu this year as an example, the official price of a steel long sword that has just been baked is fifteen taels of silver.

That's a huge amount of money, enough for a family of five for more than three years. Moreover, the premise is that these people do not have to engage in any production to have enough food and clothing.

The preciousness of a magic weapon is equivalent to that of a worldly weapon.

According to the level of power, the magic weapon is divided into different grades from the first to the ninth. Taking the most basic first-grade Xuantie Sword as an example, the recognized price in the cultivation world market was about fifty Yuan Qi Pills.

No monk will use a first-grade sword against the enemy. That kind of thing is what is called a sword in the eyes of mortals, although it is sharp, although it is sharp, although it is sharpened like clay, it cannot input spiritual energy. If the equivalent specifications of the secular world are changed, it is estimated that it is equivalent to a stick. (To be continued.) )
