After talking about the Five Poisons Sect, Lu Yuan looked at his disciple again, and after carefully looking at it several times, he couldn't help but smile and said, "You did a good job this time, but as a teacher, I didn't expect that in the face of the large-scale invasion of the Five Poisons Sect, you can not only withstand it, but also break it."

can also force Lan Zhaoyun's guy back to his lair, and now he has come to sue for peace. ”

He was really satisfied with his own disciple.

Not only filial piety, but also extremely capable.

Whether it is practicing martial arts or leading troops to fight, they are all first-class good players.

Lu Yuan got Zhou Qing's help, I don't know how much effort he saved and how much benefit he gained.

Even if you can break through the innate at this time, there is also a lot of credit from the other party.

All of the above made him love this disciple even more.

"It's still the time for the reinforcements sent by the master. If there were no 10,000 soldiers to help in the end, let alone defeat the Miao thief, it would still be a question whether the disciple could hold the Wuling Mansion. ”

In front of his master, Zhou Qing was as modest as ever.

"Even if this is the case, it is not something that ordinary people can do if they can seize this opportunity to defeat the enemy."

Lu Yuan smiled, very satisfied with the humility of his disciple.

In this Jianghu, if you can maintain stability and not be arrogant, you already have a few more chances of survival than others, which is a good character.

While relieved, he pondered for a while, and then said: "Now that the teacher has broken through the innate nature, this kind of strength is enough to destroy the Iron Sword Gate." Xiaoqing, I know that you have always hated the Iron Sword Gate, and you want to destroy it early.

After some time, prepare for the division to start and clean up the Iron Sword Gate.

Do you want to go along? ”

Regarding Zhou Qing's hatred for the Iron Sword Gate, Lu Yuan didn't want to say anything more.

Although the man who killed him all over the house was already dead.

It's hateful to the house and Wu, and his own disciples have raised their hatred to the entire Iron Sword Gate, which is also normal in today's Jianghu atmosphere.

Who told you that the people of the Iron Sword Gate killed the whole family?

So why can't people turn around and destroy you?

If you really want to blame it, you blame yourself for not cutting the grass and eradicating the roots. blamed himself for not disciplining his disciples at the beginning.

A victim whose eyes are stained with hatred can't listen to those big truths.

It's not your whole family that was killed, and of course you can blame it from above.

But whether you listen or not, it's someone else's business.

Really.

As soon as Zhou Qing heard Lu Yuan's words, his eyes instantly turned red, and he gritted his teeth and said, "When is Master ready to do it?" ”

Lu Yuan groaned: "It should be in the past two months." ”

The reason why he was preparing to take the iron sword door was not entirely because of his own disciples.

Destroy the Iron Sword Gate, he has had this idea for a long time.

But at the beginning, he wanted to snatch the Iron Sword Sword Technique that matched the Qi Replenishing Heart Sutra from the Iron Sword Gate.

However, later, with Zhou Qing's dedication to the Chiyang Divine Skill, with this first-class and top-notch secret book, Lu Yuan naturally looked down on the iron sword technique.

Therefore, for the elimination of the Iron Sword Sect, it is only dispensable, and it is purely to support his own disciples.

But now.

Lu Yuan wanted to take the Iron Sword Gate to open the knife, but it was purely for money.

There was no way, 50,000 recruits were recruited, and it was only two months, and he spent nearly one million taels of silver after counting all kinds of settling-in expenses.

It's a terrible drain.

And the disciple who was sent to Jiangxia County of Liang State to find Danding Dao had no news coming back for a long time. I don't know how things are going, whether I have pulled back the funding from the old man Anqiu.

Seeing that the savings in hand are decreasing day by day, and the future expenses will continue to increase.

Lu Yuan, who was already in charge of the house and was in charge of the food and drink of more than 100,000 people, really had to start thinking of ways to make a fortune from there.

Q, how can I get the fastest money?

Of course, it was murder and arson.

So after thinking about it, Lu Yuan looked around and found that he had a grudge against him, and at the same time he was rich enough, it seemed to be the Iron Sword Gate of Luling Mansion.

First of all, the Iron Sword Sect has a grudge against its own disciples, and if they destroy each other, it can be regarded as revenge for their own disciples.

Secondly, the Iron Sword Gate is also rich enough.

How rich can the Iron Sword Gate be?

Just one point, in the entire Luling Mansion, there are more than 100,000 households, more than 600,000 people.

Moreover, the province is also the land of fish and rice, which has always been rich in grain, and is the thoroughfare of the four counties, and the trade is developed.

Lu Yuan came out of Luling Mansion, and he knew very well about the wealth of the mansion.

To say that the financial income of a Luling Mansion is comparable to the five southern mansions of Dongting County in his hands, it is not too much at all.

And the Iron Sword Gate occupies such a place of ointment.

Tell me, after thousands of years of accumulation, how rich the wealth possessed by the Iron Sword Gate should be.

If this gate can be extinguished, even those fixed assets such as acres of shops cannot be realized. But it's just a floating fortune, and you can make at least three or five million taels of silver.

With this money, it should relieve the pressure on me to raise soldiers. ’

Lu Yuan thought like this in his heart, he was extremely confident that the Iron Sword Sect would have so much wealth.

After all, he destroyed a Seven Star Gate before, and the harvest of silver jewelry, antique calligraphy and painting alone exceeded one million taels.

The territory occupied by the Iron Sword Gate is far better than that of the Seven Star Gate, and it is also reasonable to increase the harvest several times.

On Zhou Qing's side, after getting the exact time, he immediately said: "When the disciple goes back, he will start to hand over military affairs." Let Senior Brother Deng look at the army first, and there will be no problems. ”

The senior disciple Deng in Zhou Qing's mouth, named Deng Zhaoxing, is a relatively outstanding registered disciple of Lu Yuan's sect, and his strength has reached the second rate.

was previously assigned to Zhou Qing's side and assisted him as a deputy general.

Therefore, with the help of such a junior disciple who is familiar with military affairs, there will be no problems in the army after Zhou Qing leaves.

"Yes."

Lu Yuan nodded, he didn't have any opinion on this, he just advised: "Remember to keep the matter of your departure confidential and can't spread it." This time, we must be careful to hide the Iron Sword Gate, so as not to reveal our identities. ”

The Iron Sword Sect seems to be an independent sect, but in fact, he can be based in Yuzhang County and occupy a mansion in this county, and the support of the Liuyang Sect is naturally indispensable behind it.

This can be seen from the fact that more than ten years ago, when the Black Wind Thieves ravaged Luling Mansion, they immediately attracted the intervention of Yin Huixuan, the head of the Six Yang Sect.

Therefore, destroying this sect, in a sense, is equivalent to slapping the face of the Six Yang Sect.

And the Six Yang Sect is the innate sect of the innate sects.

Yin Huixuan, the master of the Innate Second Realm, is not so easy to provoke.

Lu Yuan went over there to ask for money, not to make trouble for himself.

If Yin Huixuan came to the door, even him, it would be a big headache.

Therefore, this operation to destroy the Iron Sword Gate must be carried out in secret, and their identities cannot be known to outsiders.

After so many years of mixing in the battlefields of the rivers and lakes, Zhou Qing is also an old fox, so he naturally knows this reason, so he nodded at this time and said: "Master don't worry, the apprentice knows how to measure." ”

Lu Yuan bowed slightly: "Then it's nothing." ”

In this regard, he believed that his disciples would not let himself down.

"Then the disciple will retire first, and go back to inform the Five Poisons Sect and hand over military affairs." Zhou Qing said late at this time.

The matter of attacking the Iron Sword Gate has already made this good disciple feel confused, and he urgently needs to go back to be alone and quiet at this time, while preparing for revenge.

"Go ahead." Lu Yuan waved his hand.

Zhou Qing immediately retired.

Seeing his disciple leave, Lu Yuan continued to sit on the seat, holding the eucalyptus table with his hand, and continued to ponder in his heart.

In fact, in addition to the monetary benefits, there are also a lot of other aspects, such as the Divine Blood Spirit Pill and the Divine Blood Xenomorph.

In the vicinity of Luling, there is a Tianlong Mountain, which ranks eighth in the seventy-two blessed lands of Daomen.

And this mountain is the mountain gate station of the Iron Sword Gate.

The Iron Sword Gate occupies this place, and the immortal qi that the divine blood xenomorphs raised in the gate can breathe out is definitely much better than that of other spiritual mountain blessed lands.

There is enough immortal qi to feed, and the spiritual blood that the divine blood xenomorph can provide is naturally more.

Therefore, correspondingly, after destroying the Iron Sword Gate, Lu Yuan could obtain more Divine Blood Spirit Pill than the Seven Star Gate.

"Last time, I exterminated the Seven Star Sect and obtained a total of twenty-six Water Purification Pills from the other party. This time to destroy the Iron Sword Gate, how can you get thirty or forty grains, right?

If you count the god-blood xenomorph and directly kill the alchemy, you should get even more.

Harvesting fifty or sixty grains should be no problem.

With these Divine Blood Spirit Pills, it should be enough for me to cultivate three or four first-class disciples. ”

Now, with the gradual expansion of his power, Lu Yuan's requirements for the strength of his own disciples can't help but slowly increase.

In today's war-torn world, the territory of a government is not stable enough without a first-class master.

But if he counts Wuling Mansion in his hands, he has almost half of the territory of the six prefectures of the county.

It's such a big territory, but there aren't enough people to guard it.

Relying only on him and Zhou Qing, being able to take care of two or three mansions is already the limit. There is still more than half of the territory left, and there is no first-class master to defend it.

Now Lu Yuan maintains the place, relying on the first-class masters sent out to assist by the South China Sea faction.

But the people of the Nanhai faction will have to leave sooner or later, and it is impossible to help them stay for a long time.

Moreover, even if Yan Wangqiu is willing to allocate some people to help for the sake of his allies, he is an outsider after all, and he is not as reliable as his own people.

Therefore, the matter of cultivating disciples is indeed imminent.

Lu Yuan wanted to destroy the Iron Sword Gate, in addition to the silver two, the main reason was to covet the other party's divine blood elixir.

If he can rob the Iron Sword Sect for hundreds of years of accumulation, and then help him cultivate three or four first-class strength disciples, the current situation of lack of people everywhere will undoubtedly greatly alleviate the situation.

At that time, Lu Yuan can also let go and let the disciples take charge of themselves.

I saved time and used it to concentrate on my practice.

So no matter how you look at it, attacking the Iron Sword Gate is a great benefit to him, and he can't do it anymore.

"But when it comes to the Divine Blood Xenomorph, I've been raising that Pure Water Ox for more than a year.

But this beast, for more than a year, has been eating my century-old elixir every month, offering delicious food and drink, but so far it has not been able to produce a spiritual blood for me.

With such an output efficiency, it is not much use to keep it. ”

Lu Yuan thought of the Pure Water Xuan Niu that was still raised in Yuanluo Mountain, and his brows couldn't help frowning slightly.

At the beginning, Feng Zhijie, the three-vein elder of the Seven Star Sect, had said that because the essence of the sun and moon that could be absorbed in the Yuanluo Mountain was becoming more and more scarce, the spiritual blood that the Water Purification Xuan Ox could produce every year was also decreasing day by day.

This directly led to the amount of Water Purification Xuandan that the Seven Star Gate could obtain every year, and the number began to decline sharply.

By the time Lu Yuan attacked the Seven Star Gate, he could only produce one or two grains a year.

But it was precisely because of that time, when he attacked the Seven Star Gate, that the Pure Water Xuanniu was brought out of the main altar of the Seven Star Gate.

Although the last hidden location is still within the range of Yuanluo Mountain. However, the essence of the sun and moon that can be obtained in this place is not much less than that in the main altar area.

According to Feng Zhijie, who was raising cattle for Lu Yuan, said.

When the Pure Water Purifying Ox was hidden in the Seven Star Gate, this Ox was injured because it could not be adequately fed, and it might have to be raised for two or three years, and then fed with a large amount of Centennial Elixir before it could recover.

Therefore, during this period of recuperation, it is impossible to produce spiritual blood.

In this way, for Lu Yuan, it is equivalent to spending money to raise a Xuan Niu that can only work after two or three years.

And after this water purification cow recovers from its injuries, it can only be used for another thirty years at most.

Judging from the efficiency of Xuanniu's appearance of spiritual blood now, which is getting slower and slower.

Even if he raises it for thirty years, he can finally contribute twenty pills of Xuandan to him, which is considered lucky.

If you're unlucky, you'll probably only be able to offer a dozen or so grains.

"So thinking about it this way, sure enough, it is better to kill this cow now, and directly drain the spiritual blood on its body, so that it can also practice seven or eight Xuandan.

If you count the spirit meat, spirit skin and other materials of the spinning cow, this harvest can be even more.

In comparison, although the long-term income may be a little worse, the short-term income is considerable enough.

It also saves a lot of time, and at this point, alleviates my urgent needs. ”

When Lu Yuan thought of this, he made a decision in his heart.

Seven or eight Water Purification Pills, although the number is not much, his disciples, second-rate strength, have also grown to four.

Among them, the highest strength has reached the point of practicing the seven meridians.

For Lu Yuan, if he could have seven or eight Water Purification Pills, it would be enough to support a first-class breakthrough among the four registered disciples whose strength had reached the second-rate.

Even in addition, he can also have two or three more Water Purification Xuandan, which can be used to support those disciples under his sect who have reached the threshold of breaking through the second-rate, breaking through the second-rate, and allowing himself to have more usable talents.

At this time, if you can have more of these strengths, the benefits you can bring are undoubtedly much more than spending thirty years slowly grinding with the Water Purification Xuanniu.

So it's time to kill this cow.

Thinking like this in his heart, Lu Yuan took up the pen and wrote a warrant, and then called his cronies and asked him to take it to Yuanluo Mountain and convey the matter to Feng Zhijie.

This old man Feng, who betrayed the sect, has rich experience in how to kill cattle, how to take blood, and how to alchemy.

Rather than a layman like himself who rashes his hands, it is better to let him do this matter, and he is responsible for providing all kinds of material support.

After dealing with this matter, Lu Yuan thought about it carefully in his heart, and after confirming that there was nothing to deal with urgently, he picked up the Taoist scripture again and read it slowly.

……

Time passes slowly.

In a blink of an eye, it came November of the sixth year of Hongdao.

Lu Yuan's side is still as usual, practicing Chiyang swordsmanship and fingering on weekdays, studying the Taoist scriptures, and figuring out the next step after the innate exercises.

Occasionally, when there is a thunderstorm, he goes out to sympathize with the thunder and cultivates the Five Thunder Books.

From time to time, when the mood comes, they will also patrol the barracks to review the effect of military training.

Life is so ordinary but fulfilling.

And during this period, news from all sides also came back.

First of all, Yueyang Mansion.

Since the failure of the expulsion of the Zhou people, Shangguan Ming has changed the strategy of urgently cutting off the Zhou people in Jiangnan and changed to long-term attrition. began to distribute soldiers and horses to the surrounding areas of Anxiang County, which was occupied by the Zhou people, and began to besiege each other and cut off their way to expand outward.

At the same time, they also sent people to the vicinity of Anxiang County from time to time to harass and prevent the local people from producing normally.

His approach proved to be extremely effective.

For more than half a year, the summer harvest and autumn harvest in several counties near Anxiang have been affected, and it can even be said that there is no harvest at all.

The Zhou people stationed 30,000 troops in Anxiang County, so many people are not engaged in production, people eat horses and chew, and the consumption of grain and grass can be described as astronomical.

Now they occupy several counties in Anxiang, and because of the harassment of Shangguan Ming, they cannot cultivate normally and cannot provide food.

After being surrounded for more than half a year, he suddenly fell into a situation of lack of food.

Even in the counties of Anxiang, those people who could not escape have reached the point of cannibalism.

And the grain of the Zhou people in Jiangbei could not be transported at all under the blockade of the imperial court sailors.

Things have come to this point, and the Zhou people can't keep it anymore.

Now that the general of the Zuozhu State of Zhou, Li Yanjing has begun to lead his troops to take the initiative to seek battle, and wants to find Shangguan Ming for a decisive battle.

However, when Shangguan Ming saw the tragic situation of Zhou Ren, he didn't want to fight him, and began to defend himself behind closed doors, just blocking the opponent's road, just not fighting the opponent.

This is planning to starve these Zhou soldiers to death.

In desperation, Li Yanjing could only lead the army to attack and desperately break through.

But the imperial court blocked his soldiers and horses, there were 50,000, but Li Yanjing only had 30,000 soldiers, and now he was the one who took the initiative to attack, whether he could stand out is really a problem.

But no matter how bad the prospect is, with the initiative of the Zhou people to go to war, Yueyang Mansion has once again ignited the flames of war.

As the New Year approaches, the local people are still suffering because they can't breathe a sigh of relief.

However, Lu Yuan, taking this opportunity, gathered nearly 100,000 displaced people from Anyue Mansion, and resettled them in the rear Shaoyang Mansion and Nansanfu, and restored some of the lost population of these four prefectures, which can be regarded as a advantage.

Yueyang Mansion is fighting inextricably.

Zhou Qing, on his side, also contacted the Miao envoy after returning and conveyed Lu Yuan's meaning to him.

And after the other party got Lu Yuan's request for Lan Zhaoyun to come to meet in person, he couldn't help but be furious, and walked away on the spot.

But after a few days of leaving, this person came back to find Zhou Qing and said that the sect leader was willing to come to see Lu Yuan.

It's just the place to meet, you need to change it and pick a suitable place.

For example, the junction between the two sides is very good.

In this regard, Lu Yuan naturally ignored it and directly let people get out.
