Innate?

Hearing this word, Shangguan Ming's eyelids moved, his eyes were full of shock, and he lost his voice: "Do you know what you're talking about?" ”

Chu Wei glanced at Uncle Shi, who was out of shape, and he could understand the other party's emotions at this time, because he was the same not long ago, and even more out of shape.

He nodded emphatically: "Of course I know." Uncle Shi, that Lu Yuan definitely has innate talents. Even within three or five years, it is possible to break through this situation. ”

Seeing Chu Wei's confirmation, Shangguan Ming took a deep breath, calmed down the emotions in his heart a little, and said with bitterness on the corner of his mouth: "In this way, this Lu Pingxi can't move." ”

This time, Shangguan Ming led his troops to come for two purposes.

The first was naturally to recover Baling City and quell the Miao rebellion in Dongting County.

The second is to take the opportunity to clear the place after quelling the Miao Rebellion, and those separatist military leaders will return the county to the actual control of the imperial court.

But now I look at it.

Lu Yuan has 70,000 troops, and he is even expanding his army at this time, and he may be able to force 100,000 people in the future.

And he is a first-class peak strength, not far from breaking through the congenital.

There is also personal force, and there are elite soldiers and strong generals, no matter how you look at it, this is a powerful force whose strength is not much worse than that of the Five Poisons Sect.

If the imperial court made a move against Lu Yuan, it would definitely be another big battle comparable to quelling the rebellion of the Five Poison Sect.

And even more than that.

In Dongting County, in addition to Lu Yuan, there are also many small army leaders.

The imperial court fought Lu Yuan, can it not arouse the vigilance of those small army leaders?

When the time comes, don't fight, it will become a chaotic battle that erodes Dongting County.

And a master who is about to break through the innate ......

Shangguan Ming pondered like this in his heart, then glanced at Chu Wei and confirmed again: "Then Lu Yuan is really at the peak of the first class, and he is about to break through?" ”

Chu Wei nodded again: "Absolutely." The little nephew has seen several other uncles, and he is about to break through the state. That Lu Pingxi is not worse than him, and he even has a victory. In such a state, the innate is definitely not far off. ”

Shangguan Ming nodded, finally accepted the reality in his heart, and then couldn't help but sigh: "It seems that this Dongting County is really an outstanding person, and in just a few years, two innate masters can be born one after another." In this world, it is becoming more and more difficult to see. ”

After speaking, he turned his head to Chu Wei and asked, "I remember that this Lu Pingxi is only about thirty years old and is still unmarried, right?" ”

Chu Wei was stunned for a moment, nodded and replied, "That's true." ”

"Okay." Shangguan Ming smiled, thought for a while, and then said to a junior next to him: "Guangbai, you wait to hold my name post, take your sister Haiyue, and visit that Lu Pingxi."

Remember, be respectful and upright. This is an innate master who is about to break through, and in a few years, he will be able to be on an equal footing with your father and me.

After arriving, with your sister, ask that Lu Pingxi for advice.

The other party can cultivate so diligently, and there is a place for you to learn. ”

A young man in a white robe next to him couldn't help but be slightly stunned when he heard this, then he thought about something, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, father, I'll go and talk to my sister later." This time I went to Luyang, and I will definitely have a good intersection with Lu Pingxi. ”

Chu Wei next to him looked at this scene and couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart.

This uncle!

After discovering that Lu Pingxi couldn't be moved, he immediately started the idea of wooing.

But think about it, if a future congenital can win over each other at this time, or even form an in-law, it is undoubtedly a great help.

As for the issue of identity?

It doesn't matter what your background is, a congenital is enough to erase all gaps and be qualified to be the son-in-law of the Shangguan family.

Even if people don't look down on the daughter of the Shangguan family, it's not necessarily.

"No, if you take the dragon so quickly, you must not be cheap for the Shangguan family." When I go back, I will also tell the head of the family and pick out those outstanding sisters in the clan. Before the other families could react, they would take down that Lu Pingxi first. ’

Chu Wei thought so in his heart, and continued to chat with Shangguan Ming with a smile, without the slightest expression on his face.

But after the conversation, he immediately called his entourage, rode a fast horse, and ran in the direction of Jingshi.

And at this time, Shangguan Ming's children, Shangguan Guangbai and Shangguan Haiyue, haven't set off yet?

In the past, whenever the imperial court opened the list, there would be those high-ranking officials waiting beside them, and once the person on the list was confirmed, they would compete for the best son-in-law.

In the past, this kind of behavior, the top gate valves such as the six surnames and seven clans did not bother to do it at all. even secretly laughed in his heart, it was a group of poor people with no family inheritance who did such rude things.

But at this time, when he encountered Lu Yuan's innate talent, the Shangguan and Chu families also became the people who were ridiculed in the past at this time.

In the past, I disdained it, but after all, the benefits were not big enough.

At this time, the interests are great, and they have all become vulgar people.

……

On the tenth day of the sixth month of Hongdao, the imperial court recruited the Miao army and arrived in Changsha Mansion, Dongting County.

On the fifteenth day of the same month, after resting for five days in Changsha Mansion, the army turned north and arrived at Yueyang Mansion, and on the same day attacked the southernmost county seat of Xiangyin County, and all 3,000 Miao people in the city were beheaded.

Yueyang Mansion was terrified, and the Miao army that was originally stationed in various places evacuated overnight and fled back to Baling City, with 30,000 Miao soldiers defending the city.

On the 18th, the imperial court 100,000 troops besieged Baling County, and at the same time divided the troops to recover the lost county seat of Yueyang Mansion, but in a few days, in addition to the county seat, Yueyang Mansion was recovered.

On the 20th, after receiving the news of the arrival of the imperial army, Lan Zhaoyun, the leader of the Five Poisons Sect, who had already led his troops to break through the three counties of Shaoyang Mansion, immediately left the newly appointed Left Protector Commander of 60,000 troops to continue to besiege Shaoyang Mansion.

He led an army of 50,000 to return and went north to Baling City to rescue.

On the same day, Tianmen Mansion in the north of Dongting County, under the attack of 100,000 Zhou soldiers in the north for several months, finally broke through Changling County, the northern gateway of the province. Tens of thousands of Zhou soldiers drove straight into the city of Tianmen Mansion.

More than 100,000 Pingshu troops, the back road is dangerous.

On the 25th, the earthquake in Jiangyoufu, Xichuan County, affected dozens of surrounding counties, Qingchuan, Longan, Yanquan and other counties, the city wall was broken, more than 100,000 houses collapsed in various places, and millions of people were affected.

Xichuan has been in war for many years, and it has long been impoverished, and the local government is unable to provide relief, and there are strong and powerful people who have risen up.

The road to Xichuan was cut off for a while from Xingyuan Mansion of the Northern Zhou State, and the logistics of the Zhou and Shu coalition forces were poor, so they withdrew from Yuzhong Mansion and returned to the rear to deal with the disaster.

Yuzhong Mansion lifted the siege, the pressure of the Pingshu army was greatly reduced, and Bai Mengyang, Marquis of Wu'an, then transferred 50,000 elite soldiers to Tianmen Mansion to resist the Zhou soldiers and maintain the retreat.

On the 28th, Lu Yuan held a meeting in Luyang Mansion and counted the 20,000 veterans in the camp and the newly recruited soldiers and horses in the camp, and then temporarily handed over the soldiers and horses to Li Liang, a disciple who had been trained to the eighth canon and cultivated to the second highest level.

I left the barracks and went north to Changning County, Hengyang Prefecture.

……

Changting Ancient Road, Wild Grass Wife.

Lu Yuan led a red horse, then looked at the two people beside him, and said helplessly: "Shangguan Gongzi, Miss Shangguan, I am going to Yuzhang Mansion to participate in the Tianluo Festival this time, are you sure you want to go with you?" ”

In front of him, he saw two men and women dressed in white, each holding a white horse, standing with a smile.

These two people are the sons and daughters of Shangguan Yang, Marquis Wucheng, Shangguan Guangbai and Shangguan Haiyue.

"Brother Lu doesn't need to be persuaded. My little sister and I listened to my father's instructions and asked me to come to you to study. It's only been half a month now, how can I go back so quickly. ”

Shangguan Guangbai smiled lightly, and then said with a hint of yearning: "The Tianluo Dharma Meeting of Ziyun Dao, my brother and sister have also been famous for a long time, but they have never had the opportunity to take a look.

Now that I have time and opportunity, I can just follow Brother Lu to have a look. Big brother won't refuse, right? ”

As soon as these words came out, Shangguan Haiyue next to him also looked over.

She looked at Lu Yuan with a blank face, as if she was about to cry if you said no.

Being told by this brother and sister, what can Lu Yuan say?

I could only nod and say, "Okay, you two can follow if you want." However, this is a grand gathering among our cultivators, and the emphasis is on talking about the Tao and the Tao, which is not very exciting. When you arrive at Tianluo Mountain, don't be bored. ”

Shangguan Haiyue heard Lu Yuan's agreement, a trace appeared on his face, and a silver bell-like voice spoke: "Brother Lu, don't worry, my eldest brother and I have also studied the Taoist scriptures since childhood, and we have read all the classics of the Daomen, so we won't feel bored." ”

"I hope so."

Lu Yuan sighed in his heart, and then didn't say anything more to the two, turned over and jumped on the horse, and got up to hurry.

When the two siblings saw it, they hurriedly rode their horses to follow.

Listening to the clatter of horses' hooves behind him, Lu Yuan was helpless in his heart.

Since ten days ago, these two brothers and sisters came to Luyang to ask to see him with Shangguanyang's name, and they have been by his side, looking like they don't plan to leave.

And the reason is also very legitimate, Shangguan Yang sent these two people to his side to learn and train, train and train his children and descendants.

Lu Yuan is a general of Pingxi and a military attache of the third rank. Shangguan Yang is the general of Zhengxi, a military attache from the second rank, and a county guard of Dongting.

In terms of rank, he is his top boss. In terms of identity, the Shangguan family is one of the six surnames and seven clans in Dayue, and Shangguan Yang himself is a congenital grandmaster.

Such a person, sending his children to Lu Yuan's side to study, is definitely important to say it.

In the face of the closeness of his superiors, what can Lu Yuan do?

I can't refuse at all, so I can only keep people by my side and have a headache about how to deal with it.

And Shangguan Guangbai and Shangguan Haiyue are also unconscious, they come to him every day to chat and play, and they almost want to dangle in front of Lu Yuan's eyes all the time.

Especially Shangguan Haiyue, she took the initiative to invite him for a walk several times, and from time to time she came to him with a copy of the Taoist scriptures to ask him for advice, and sometimes she came to ask for martial arts.

But during the competition, his legs and feet were weak at every turn, his body shook, and he took the initiative to rush towards Lu Yuan, which made him feel big.

In fact, for Shangguan Haiyue's thoughts, or the thoughts of the Marquis Wu Cheng behind him, how can an old fox like Lu Yuan not know.

It's nothing more than that after Chu Wei went back, he might have said Lu Yuan's strength, and then attracted Shangguan Yang's attention and wanted to take action.

I heard that he still has no wife, so he moved the idea of marriage and sent his daughters over.

Actually.

Shangguan Haiyue's appearance, although it is not called the national color and natural fragrance, but it also belongs to the kind of stunning beauty that is one in a million. And from a family, there is a bookish temperament. Because of his martial arts training since childhood, he has added a bit of heroism to his beauty.

By any measure, it's a perfect match.

And what's even more rare is that this woman has good achievements in both knowledge and martial arts.

Lu Yuan has been staying with Sun Siwen, Cui Changqing and other cultural people for a long time, and he often reads and recites Taoist scriptures, and his own cultural level is actually not bad.

And when he talked to Shangguan Haiyue, he found that every time this woman talked to him, she could have something to say, and she had her own opinions in many places.

Although the cultivation of Taoism is still a little worse than Lu Yuan, it is not easy to have such a realm at such an age.

And not only Taoism, but as the conversation deepened, Lu Yuan also found that the three schools of Confucianism, Taoism, and Shangguan Haiyue were all proficient, and they were all proficient, and they were all amazed.

And in addition to her cultural achievements, in martial arts, this woman has also cultivated to the second-rate realm.

Reaching this achievement at the age of eighteen, even if it is the reason why the family is smashing massive resources, it can't be said that the other party is so bad.

A talented woman with such a complete civil and military background and an outstanding family background has always taken the initiative to find herself to give her arms, to be honest, even with Lu Yuan's state of mind, she can't help but feel a little moved.

But there's no urgency. ’

Lu Yuan rode a horse and galloped, sighing in his heart.

Marrying with the Shangguan family is indeed a good choice. If you can hold the beauty, you can use the relationship of the Shangguan family to quickly gain a firm foothold in the high-level of the Dayue court.

But Lu Yuan is now officially breaking through the congenital critical moment, before breaking through the congenital, he really doesn't have much energy to deal with his children's private affairs.

Moreover, after practicing martial arts over the years, Lu Yuan gradually gained a lot of experience, knowing that when practicing martial arts, maintaining the body of Yuanyang is of great benefit to the improvement of martial arts.

Therefore, before he achieves the innate and can lock Yuanyang without leaking, he will not have sex with a woman.

Yes, you read that right.

If you want to lock Yuanyang, you need to achieve innate first, so that the essence and spirit of the body are mixed and harmonious.

Otherwise, you will have to find a special exercise and practice the art of locking the yang, which will be able to ignore the realm and have sex at will.

But helplessly, Lu Yuan has so far, even if he tries his best to find it, he has not found this kind of secret technique.

This kind of exercise is still too rare in the rivers and lakes.

In addition to the above reasons, with Lu Yuan's current strength, if he marries the Shangguan family, he is undoubtedly in a weak position.

When the time comes, the two parties will negotiate the terms and conditions, and most of them will be asked to pay more.

Even more seriously, it is not impossible for his forces to be infiltrated.

In history, it is not uncommon for two families to marry, and then be encroached upon by their in-laws in various names, and finally eaten and wiped clean.

Lu Yuan didn't want to work hard by himself, but in the end, the results were taken away by others, which was too wronged.

Although with his steady nature, this kind of thing should be difficult to happen, but more is better than less, so why bother yourself?

Therefore, after careful consideration, Lu Yuan still felt that it was better for him to stay away from Shangguan Haiyue.

The matter of marriage is urgent.

During this event, find an opportunity to talk to the other party and tell the other party clearly that I am now focusing on career and martial arts, and I am not interested in getting married for the time being. ’

Lu Yuan waved his horsewhip, and the horse under him ran faster, thinking so in his heart.

……

Two days later, Lu Yuan and the three of them hurriedly whipped up, and finally arrived at Qingyun Temple on the first day of the seventh lunar month as promised.

"Lu Daoyou, these two are ......"

Seeing Lu Yuan again, Qi Yun was very happy. But when he saw the two young ladies following behind him, he couldn't help but be slightly stunned.

"Qi Daoyou, these two are Shangguan Guangbai, Shangguan Haiyue, and the people of the Shangguan family in Jintan." Lu Yuan leaned over to Qi Yun's side and said in a low voice: "The two of them are the Marquis of Wu Cheng, the Innate Grandmaster, and my direct boss.

A few days ago, they ran to my side, and they didn't leave, saying that they wanted to follow me through the training.

This time, I heard that I was going to participate in the Tianluo Festival, so I followed. ”

Lu Yuan explained the reason, and then added: "But don't worry, the Shangguan family of Jintan is also invited by the Tianluo Dharma every year, and the two of them have their own participation quotas, so they will not occupy ours." ”

"I see." Qi Yun listened to the explanation, looked at the two noble sons from a family in front of him, especially after noticing Shangguan Haiyue's eyes looking at Lu Yuan, he couldn't help but show a smile on his face, and teased Lu Yuan: "It seems that the marriage of Taoist friends is coming." ”

After that, without waiting for Lu Yuan to respond, he took two steps forward and greeted the two noble sons of the Shangguan family: "Poor Dao Qiyun, I have seen two laymen. ”

The Shangguan brothers and sisters didn't put on a stand for Lu Yuan, a fellow Daoist, and hurriedly returned the salute, and then talked familiarly.

As a child of a family, how to get along with others and what skills and manners should be used to deal with people are all compulsory courses from childhood.

Therefore, after a while, the two of them and Qi Yun were each called Taoist friends.

In addition to the two brothers and sisters, who are sociable, it is also because Qi Yun found that these two people have deep Taoist research, especially Shangguan Guangbai, which is enough to sit and discuss with him.

In such a realm, it is natural to be called a Taoist friend.

So for the two more people on the road, Qi Yun was no longer dissatisfied, and happily accepted it.

Later, Qi Yun instructed his disciple Kong Zhuo to take a good look at the Taoist temple, and then he carried his luggage on his back, rode the horse that Lu Yuan brought from the road, and went to Yuzhang County together.

Because there was still a month and a half before the official start of the puja, the four of them were not in a hurry.

Along the way, I rode slowly on horseback and visited the scenery and attractions of various places. Sometimes there is no time to get to the town on the road, so I simply light a fire in the wilderness and break the temple.

Although I slept in the open air, I didn't feel hard.

On the way, I encountered some rebels and bandits, and they also acted chivalrous and righteous along the way to help the local area get rid of a harm.

This kind of experience made Lu Yuan find a little bit of happiness and hatred, and a chic and heroic sense of chivalry.

I'm ashamed to say it.

Although it has been fifteen years since he crossed this matter, he has also cultivated to the strength of the first-class peak of the rivers and lakes.

But the life of such a man in the rivers and lakes is now the first time to experience.

In this way, it took nearly a month and thousands of miles to walk all the way, and the four of them passed through the county, passing through more than 20 counties, and finally entered the Pengli Mansion where Tianluo Mountain is located.

Then, that night, we arrived at the foot of Tianluo Mountain.
