Chapter 827: Hard and Soft
"This girl, I've never seen her cultivate so hard."
Yanmen Pass, located in a mansion covering an area of 300 acres in the eastern district of Guancheng, in a pavilion in the huge back garden, Lu Bumei took a sip of spiritual tea, looked at his daughter who was sitting on the ground, meditating and recovering from cultivation, and thought of it with relief.
Indeed, if Lu Lingqi had worked so hard since she stepped into cultivation, it would definitely not be just a three-star intermediate peak cultivation now, even if she became a three-star top-level cultivator, it would not be surprising.
In the past half a month, Lu Lingqi has been practicing the formation with all her strength during the day, and after she got tired, she immediately meditated and practiced the exercises to restore her spirit and spirit, and the cycle continued.
Now, with only one kick, she was able to break through to the seventh layer of the Qi Refining Realm and become a three-star advanced cultivator.
Not only that, but she also completed the construction of five runes of the Five Elements Basic Formation in the Sea of Knowledge, and became a two-star junior formation mage.
This half-month of cultivation has already caught up with the results of her previous half-year cultivation.
Lu Bu is very fond of his only daughter, and he really gives whatever he wants.
For example, two years ago, she wanted a cub of a demon beast tiger, and Lu Bu spent three days in the huge Taihang Mountain Range alone, taking advantage of the fact that a pair of four-star top demon beasts Black Wind Tiger and his wife were out and stole one of the strongest Black Wind Tiger cubs back.
It's not that he doesn't want to get one more, the problem is that it's okay for you to steal one cub, and once you steal two, it's easy to attract the other party's endless revenge.
Although Lu Bu is very good, his combat power can leapfrog the challenge, but he definitely can't beat the two four-star top demons.
Moreover, in the extremely huge Taihang Mountain Range, there were not only two four-star top-level Black Wind Tiger Great Demons, but there were also at least a dozen of them at the same level.
In case the other party joined forces to retaliate, Lu Bu would not even have a chance to escape.
This is already a huge risk.
Fortunately, in that adventure, he went deep into the Taihang Mountains in the wilderness, and Lu Bu was lucky enough to find a thousand-year-old three-star tea tree spiritual root.
Now, the spiritual root of the tea tree planted in his back garden, which is twenty zhang tall, is the spiritual plant that Lu Bu cherishes the most, and there is no one.
He has been drinking three-star spirit tea for two years, and now his mental strength has increased greatly, even his IQ has increased a lot, and his temper is not as irritable as before.
It can be said that he can have today's power and develop in full swing, and this three-star tea tree has made great contributions.
Even her daughter Lu Lingqi is also enjoying happiness, with the calming effect of three-star spiritual tea, her originally hot temperament has now become knowledgeable.
In terms of cultivating the mind, Lu Bu had never seen a better spiritual plant than this three-star tea tree spiritual root.
In this luxurious mansion, there is a three-star intermediate-level spirit gathering array, which ensures that the growth of the spiritual roots of this three-star tea tree will not degrade.
However, because he did not have a three-star high-level spirit planter under his command, and he did not have a special heaven and earth treasure to cultivate, this spirit plant tea tree did not continue to upgrade and evolve.
Maybe after thousands of years, he can be promoted to a three-star high-grade tea tree by himself, but Lu Bu can't wait that long at all.
"Hey! If only anyone in my army could break through to become a three-star high-level formation mage or spirit planter, this tea tree spirit root would have the possibility of promotion. ”
"Wang Qiang's kid, it is estimated that he has this potential, but I don't know how long he will have to wait."
Lu Bu looked at the lush spirit tea tree and sighed secretly.
A four-star cultivator is a Refining God Realm.
As the name suggests, it is mainly to cultivate the soul and spiritual power.
Any heavenly treasure that can improve spiritual power and divine soul without damage is priceless.
And this thousand-year-old tea tree is one of them.
If it can evolve and upgrade, it will be of great help to Lu Bu.
"General, Wei Xu is bringing guests to visit."
At this time, a personal soldier came to report and said, "It's from Taiyuan." ”
He added.
After that, he looked at his general with some concern.
This is already the Taiyuan Thorn Mansion, and someone was sent to visit on the third day, and ......
"Humph......"
Lu Bu snorted coldly, thought for a while, and said, "Let Wei Xu take him to the living room." ”
He became more and more dissatisfied with Wei Xu, the brother-in-law.
It's just a matter of receiving gifts, after all, some people give gifts, and they don't accept them in vain.
But this brother-in-law, who didn't know which tendon was wrong, actually encouraged himself vigorously and worshiped under the original door of Bingzhou Thorn Sting.
If it was before last year, for the sake of the soldiers who had no food and clothing, so that everyone would not be starved to death or frozen to death, Lu Bu might have agreed.
But he succeeded in the first battle, and now he lacks nothing, and even the original number of 90,000 defenders has been expanded to a full army of 300,000.
Now two elite cavalry have been formed, and one is being formed, there is no shortage of armor and weapons, Daizhen and Yanmen Pass are thriving, where do you need to worship the door of the wealthy family and act as a lackey?
In the past six months, countless families, dignitaries and nobles have come to envelop themselves and issued invitations one after another, not just Ding Yuan.
In particular, the four great families of Bingzhou, Zhang, Wang, Chen, and Li, all sent people to invite themselves to join them.
However, now that the soldiers have no worries about food and clothing, and their careers are thriving, where do they need to rely on other forces?
He has served as the guard of Yanmen for several years, but he has never received the whole court's salary, and eighty percent of the military salary has been embezzled by the Taiyuan Assassin Mansion.
This made Lu Bu almost in a desperate situation in the first two years.
Fortunately, he broke through to the four-star intermediate level in time, and his combat effectiveness skyrocketed, so he went to take the risk of hunting two four-star intermediate demons, extracted thousands of Qi and Blood Pills and Jing Yuan Pills, and trained all the eight hundred soldiers who were carefully selected to become two-star top soldiers.
Then he ordered Gao Shun to lead the newly established trap camp, and he took his generals north out of Yanmen Pass, and attacked the Xiongnu from a distance, in order to fight for training, and in just one or two months, he pushed the Xiongnu 30,000 li!
Not only did they exterminate hundreds of Xiongnu tribes in a radius of 30,000 miles, they captured a large amount of loot, but also saved tens of millions of Han people who were captured by the Xiongnu.
In this devastating battle, he not only played his own great reputation, but also gained countless wealth, and had enough reserve soldiers, not to mention the shortage of soldiers in one fell swoop, and became a veritable rich man.
After a while, under the leadership of his own soldiers, Lu Bu came to the meeting room.
"Brother-in-law, Steward Ding came to ...... this time"
As soon as he entered the living room and sat down, Wei Xu sat down and said impatiently.
"Don't you speak, guest, now, there are no rules?"
Lu Bu's eyes were cold, and he scolded his brother-in-law.
He became more and more disappointed with this brother-in-law.
It's only been a few good days, and you've forgotten the hateful faces of those big families?
Originally, he thought that Wei Xu was very good, not only was he a three-star senior general, but it was also okay to lead troops to fight, although he was far inferior to Gao Shun, Zhang Liao, Cao Xing, and Song Xian, but he was also less than the top and more than the bottom.
Where do you think, it has only been less than a year since the good life of this guy, not only is there a group of beautiful concubines in the family, and he lives a luxurious life, but he has also forgotten the humiliation he suffered before.
A few years ago, I just came to Yanmen Pass as a guard, and I only saw 90,000 border soldiers, with no food and clothing, and it was difficult to continue with two meals a day.
I wrote many times to urge for salary, but I was always delayed by the Assassin Shifu with excuses.
So much so that he was forced to rush himself, broke the kettle, and was done, and solved the problem of survival of the soldiers.
Those big families who used to disdain themselves as martial artists suddenly changed their faces one by one, not only sending generous gifts one after another, but also changing their ways to envelop themselves.
"Uh......"
Wei Xu was immediately choked, his face turned blue and red, and he sat down in a daze.
He has received many generous gifts from the Assassin's Mansion one after another, including dozens of beautiful maids and countless goods, and he was still patting his chest and assuring that this time he must say that his brother-in-law will defect to the Assassin's Mansion.
Before he could speak, he was slapped in the face, and he suddenly had some resentment towards Lu Bu in his heart.
"General Lu!"
Steward Ding, who was an old man, immediately spoke, dissolving the embarrassing atmosphere at the scene, "We are sincere in stabbing Shifu." ”
"Our lord has no children under his knees, and this time I want to accept you as the son of a moth."
"If you agree, we will fully fund you, and report to the imperial court to ask for credit for your attack on the Huns last year."
He said with a smile, "General Lu, you have to understand that you attacked the Xiongnu without permission last year without the consent of the imperial court, and the Xiongnu have been attached to our dynasty for thousands of years. ”
"This can be big or small, both good and bad, you have to think clearly."
On the previous two occasions, Lu Bu did not enter the oil and salt, but this time he got Ding Yuan's explanation, and he was ready to use both soft and hard measures to force Lu Bu to comply.
Now the prestige of the Han court is still in full swing, although it has begun to go downhill, and it is not for anyone to blatantly provoke the rules.
"You ......"
Lu Bu was furious when he heard this, and suddenly got up, and finally resisted the urge to slap the old dog to death.
"Okay, you go back and tell your master, that I want to think about it, and I will give him an answer next year at the latest."
He held back his anger, thought about it, and said to Steward Ding.
Indeed, once he assassinates Shi Ding Yuan and deliberately makes things difficult, it will be difficult for him to move an inch in the future.
In the future, not only will he be cut off from any path to promotion, but there is a great possibility that he will be removed from the post of Yanmen Guard.
The Han Dynasty has accumulated prestige for a long time and is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, even Lu Bu does not dare to defy the law.
He was now hateful in his heart, but he had to send a smiling face and send Steward Ding out of the General's Mansion.
"General Lu Bu, you have to think about it, don't let Lord Assassin Shi wait too long."
Before Steward Ding got into the sedan chair and left, he continued to speak before ordering the sedan chair man to carry the sedan chair and leave.
Lu Bu was trembling with anger, no longer paying attention to Wei Xu, who was licking his face on the side, and turned around and returned to the general's mansion.
However, he was just a small border guard, not even a school captain, and he was powerless to resist a court official of the level of Assassin Shi.
He felt it again now, just like the desperate feeling he had a few years ago, a mouthful of steel teeth clenched, and there was a "squeak" sound, which could be regarded as angry.
He didn't know where he was, this was because his actions were too big, and the harvest was even greater, and the Thorn Shifu came to pick peaches.
Not only do you want to take the 30,000 miles of the Huns as your own, but you also want to swallow the rich Daizhen and the 300,000 soldiers who were armed to the teeth by themselves!
It must not be so cheap!
Lu Bu sat on a large wooden chair, his eyes were cold and cold.
