Chapter 219: The Empire Fights Bravely
With the infinite enthusiasm of more than 10 million people, it was the first time in Lu Zhan's life that he had experienced such a grand scene, his eyes were full of cheering crowds and envious eyes, and his ears were full of praises and screams of admiration.
For this young man, after going through so many ups and downs and struggles, and going through so many hardships and efforts that ordinary people can't even imagine, in today's day, maybe he has ushered in a peak in his life, and it is finally time to raise his eyebrows and look at the heroes.
However, his mood was not at all as excited and joyful as that of the other four comrades-in-arms who had seized the island together.
He always had a calm smile on his face, and from time to time he heard a few different voices from the cheering crowd around him:
"Hmph, after seizing this immortal island, I'm afraid that the empire is going to launch a bigger and bloodier battle. Their court can use this immortal island to snatch more territory and benefits. Pity these many innocent people, but the corpses are all over the field, and the scorched earth is everywhere. ”
"The five guys on these golden cars and jade horses are desperately serving the imperial court, not to increase their official ranks. But did he and his ilk ever think that every time they climbed up, how many people's blood, tears and bones would be stepped on under their feet? Have these warriors ever cared about the life and death of ordinary people?"
Of course, there are also some more among them, which makes people cry and laugh.
"Mother, look at the penultimate little brother, how wise and martial! Mother, my daughter, I will not marry him in this life. Oh Lu Gongzi, mother, you have to ask the best matchmaker in the capital to help your daughter propose, if Lu Gongzi already has a wife, then it doesn't matter, the daughter will be a concubine, and if not, the daughter will be his family's maid. I will wait for him to die......"
Of course, the remarks in the latter paragraph were automatically filtered out by Lu Zhan, he just sighed in his heart, it seems that there are still some discerning people among the people of Chu State. They already understand an empire. The prosperity of a royal family is often at the expense of the lives of a large number of people. And now he is desperately helping the Great Chu Imperial Court, thinking that the Lu family is seeking a way out, is this right or wrong?
Although he has always had some doubts in his heart. But now that I think about it, it is difficult to ride a tiger, and Lu Fu will soon face the disaster of "Fire Crow Cave". To do so, he had to do everything in his power to protect the lives of thousands of people in his family.
And now the first goal is to support the Eighth Emperor to ascend to the throne, so that their Lu Mansion can naturally get the full support of the Great Chu Emperor, and there is hope to escape from the killing catastrophe of the "Fire Crow Cave".
This mighty welcome procession from the outside of the city ten miles of long pavilions all the way to the inner city of Yangliu River, and then extended to the royal street in front of the palace, under the gaze of the people of the whole capital, Lu Zhan and other five people finally walked to the imperial city square, at this time the imperial city has been rolled out in front of a long red carpet, the current emperor of the Great Chu Empire is supported by a group of eunuchs, weakly waiting in front of the imperial city's "Zhengda Guangming Gate".
The ruler of the old Great Chu Empire was already terminally ill. It was hard to even stand. But with the support of his cronies and eunuchs, he walked out of the palace tremblingly and greeted the heroes who returned triumphantly to seize the island.
With the appearance of the emperor, the government and the opposition suddenly remembered a mountain of enthusiastic cheers, and seventy-two trumpet cannons were set off in front of the city gate as a salute, and many flowers and colorful satin were sprayed on the walls of the imperial city in an instant. The boundlessness of the sky and the countless fireworks in the sky are bursting and colorful, a scene that can be described as the highest level of royal courtesy. ...,
After the grand welcome ceremony, Yu Binghuo and Liu Shaoshuai reported on behalf of others to the court, and the two of them wrote down the general process of seizing the island and submitted it to the emperor and a group of big people in power. In the twists and turns, they all sincerely mentioned that the biggest contributor to the successful capture of the island this time was - Lu Zhan!
As for the process of how Lu Zhan overcame many crises and found the console after he left everyone's attention that day, when Lu Zhan was on the fairy island, he had already explained it to himself, and of course he concealed many important details during it -- for example, he killed Qi Lingkong with the help of the instrument spirit of the "Fire Phoenix Liaoyuan Armor", for example, he met and rescued the Tan Protector of the "Black Cloud Battle Group", such as the process of fighting the "Corpse Puppet King" and so on; especially when Lu Zhan collected the treasures left by many masters of the Great Jin Empire, and collected the spirit soldier "Fire Phoenix Liaoyuan Armor" , the adventures that have been experienced by the Nine Heavens Strange Treasure Wanhua Lotus Platform and so on are not mentioned at all.
However, from this moment on, the people of the entire Great Chu Empire firmly remembered that "Lu Zhan", who was not yet nineteen years old, was already the title of the first hero of the Megatron to seize the island, and also remembered the small border family he was born in, the Lu family of Yunmeng City.
That night, a royal banquet was set up in the imperial city to invite five heroes who returned triumphantly, and all the officials of the Manchu Dynasty, regardless of their rank, came to the banquet to accompany them. During the banquet, hundreds of officials rushed to get close to the heroes of the island, and the relationship was not lively.
In particular, Na Lu Zhan became the focus of attention of the audience, and hundreds of officials rushed to toast and praise him, and people chased after him like looking up at the stars of tomorrow.
After this grand carnival came to an end temporarily, Lu Zhan rejected the good intentions of the imperial court and major officials, and still returned to live in the "Seven Pavilions" run by Senior Young Master Lu and Second Young Master Lu according to his heart.
After seeing Lu Zhan, the two fragile guys hugged Lu Zhan and cried loudly, thinking that after more than two hundred years of sinking of the Lu Mansion in Yunmeng City, they finally looked forward to the day of revival and further became famous in the world.
At noon on the second day, Lu Zhan, who had been sleeping deeply, had just gotten up and finished washing, and before he had eaten breakfast, he heard the noise of gongs and drums outside the door of the "Seven Pavilions", and the firecrackers rang out. Xi Liuzi ran in with excitement on his face and reported: "Boss, the Eighth Prince has personally come to report the good news of your old man's promotion and fortune!"
Lu Zhan let out an "oh", and did not show any joy.
In fact, he was tired of the series of ordinary people and mundane things he was about to face, and the lingering glory that was about to come.
After all, he had already seen all kinds of Yunhai Immortal Family's methods and courage that were far beyond the imagination of the earthly world on that floating immortal island. Compare it to. The hustle and bustle of these mundane things is really just a small dream bubble.
No matter how much glory he has in the world, with his vision today, he can only smile slightly.
The young man calmly tidied up his clothes, Shi Ran walked out of the room, and saw the Eighth Prince and Qin Baiyu sitting in the hall of the central hall, and the eldest young master and the second young master nodded on the side to accompany them.
After the Eighth Prince and Qin Baiyu saw Lu Zhan, the two of them quickly stood up at the same time. "Congratulations, Brother Lu. The eighth prince smiled kindly and said with a smile: "The emperor has been discussed by the court and named you as the brave uncle." Led the Tiger Fu with the rank of General. Tomorrow, after the court meeting, the holy decree will be read and announced to the world. We're here now. Tell this great news to Brother Lu. Hehe, Brother Lu, you have just entered the temple, and you have not yet been awarded an official position, and you have already been awarded such a special honor, which is a precedent that my Great Chu has never had since the founding of the country. "Listening to the tone of the eighth prince now, it is already commensurate with the Lu Zhan brothers, which shows how much he attaches importance to the first hero who seized the island. ...,
Lu Zhan also bowed to the Eighth Prince calmly and said: "Thank you to the Eighth Prince, if you hadn't sent me to participate in the battle for the 'Floating Immortal Island', I wouldn't have been lucky enough to get the first merit and get the reward from the imperial court." ”
"Hehehe. Brother, you can't say that. The Eighth Prince shook his head and said with a smile: "If it weren't for Brother Lu Zhan grabbing the Immortal Island console at the last moment. Our Da Chu's men and horses may be wiped out on the 'Floating Immortal Island' this time, Tie Heng and Liu Shaoshuai have already told this prince about the seizure of the island last night, so Brother Lu doesn't have to be humble. What's even more gratifying is that there are so many 'cyclone cannons' on this 'floating fairy island', and there are even two legendary 'innate spiritual light cannons'. Now with this 'Floating Immortal Island', my Great Chu will dominate the Eastern Earth Continent just around the corner. Therefore, Brother Lu has been awarded the title of earl today, which is also a matter of public expectation, and no one will have any objections. ”
Qin Baiyu shook the golden folding fan and said with a smile: "You must know that it is very difficult for us martial arts practitioners to judge the title of baron or above based on martial arts alone. Moreover, Your Excellency, you are a knight of cloth, and according to the past practice, you can only be knighted to the earl at most. However, Brother Lu has now entered Beijing at the age of a weak crown, and he has achieved immortal deeds with his heels, and he has been awarded the title of earl. Presumably, he will be able to take a few steps further in the future to obtain the reward of the court's feudal lordship, which is really enviable and admirable. ”
was named the "Brave Uncle" of Da Chu, Lu Zhan did not feel particularly surprised, but was a little bored there, but the eldest young master and the second young master Lu who were standing next to him were already in tears, and they were so excited that they couldn't cry.
Thinking that the two brothers have worked hard in the capital for so many years, they are used to seeing white eyes and bullying, and they have swallowed their anger until now, and finally have a bright day with the light of their own little brothers, although it is not they who have to be knighted, but "As the saying goes: one person gains the Tao, and the chicken and dog ascend to heaven." Lu Zhan has been named an earl, and he is a popular person, seeing that even the dignified Eight Princes have to deign to come over and stammer, then their waists in the capital will naturally harden in the future.
The next morning, the sick emperor announced the news of pardoning Lu Zhan as "Fen Yong Bo", and at the same time awarded him the military rank of General Hu Fu, and gave him twelve third-level pills "Zhenyuan Dan", and even rewarded a large mansion as "Fen Yong Earl's Mansion".
Since then, Lu Zhan, a young man who is less than nineteen years old, has become the youngest Tiger Fu general among the Great Chu Emperors, and his annual income is millions of taels of silver, and he can also receive a third-level elixir "Zhenyuan Dan" rewarded by the royal treasury every month.
Although such an achievement is very gratifying, Lu Zhan still feels that this is still one step away from the position of marquis that the ancestor of the Lu Mansion was awarded back then, and he can't help but have some expectations in his heart.
Of course, in his eyes, more of it was just indifferent, after all, he had experienced all kinds of things on the floating immortal island, especially when the space in his body was revealed for the first time, and after hearing the sad songs of the demon gods outside the sky, this young man's state of mind had a different kind of condensation. As the so-called -
What is the price of a thousand dollars to me?
What is the joy of beauty?
What fear of life and death?
What is the dust to me?
Thousands of miles of mountains and rivers are tread,
How many clouds and smoke pass by.
Single-minded and arrogant,
