Chapter 201 begins the showdown
"The general is too, I haven't seen it in August, and the general has already stepped into the innate and is a grandmaster. It's really a hero of the day. β
Lan Cai'er was named by Lu Yuan to speak this time, and it was not good to be cold anymore, so she had to come out to answer and compliment her slightly.
While speaking, she couldn't help but look at Lu Yuan twice.
Seriously, the last time Lu Yuan was assassinated, this person was protected by Yan Wangqiu at that time, and Lan Cai'er did not directly fight the other party.
But at that time, when Lu Yuan was facing the assassination, the internal qi and outfield he showed already had a bit of external strength.
At that time, Lan Caier knew that it was only a matter of time before this person broke through the innate nature.
But even so, she never expected that this day would come so quickly.
And not only did this day come quickly, but even himself, less than a year later, had changed from an enemy to this person's fiancΓ©e.
The big change in identity before and after, and the bizarre nature of the world, made Lan Caier a little unacceptable.
She really didn't know how to face it, the person in front of her who was both an enemy and her husband.
Especially in his heart, when he still has hatred for Lu Yuan, this difference and tearing sense of reality makes people feel even more uncomfortable.
But before my father came, he made me feel closer to this man. It is best to cook raw rice and mature rice, so as to make a husband and wife and conceive each other's children.
In this way, the Holy Sect and the people of the clan will have something to rely on.
It is already difficult to agree to this marriage and marry the enemy. How can my daughter's family do such a shameless thing. β
Lan Caier thought of what her father had told her before, and she was a little ashamed and angry, sad and resentful.
It cannot but be said to be a great sorrow that she has fallen to the point of entertaining people with Israel.
But for the sake of her clan and the Holy Religion, she had to compromise and obey her father's orders.
But this is not what I wanted.
After facing Lu Yuan, she could only put on this cold attitude and maintain the little dignity she had left.
But fortunately, the enemy general in front of him did not humiliate himself too much.
On the contrary, he was quite respectful, which made Lan Cai'er feel a little relieved, and finally it was not so uncomfortable.
Lu Yuan didn't know the many thoughts in this saint's heart, and he couldn't guess it.
However, after listening to the other party's compliment, he shook his head and said humbly: "Lu is more than thirty years old, and he is lucky enough to break through the innate nature, which is far inferior to the talent of the blue girl. Ashamed, ashamed. β
For Lan Cai'er's martial arts talent, Lu Yuan admired it from the bottom of his heart.
He has had many adventures, so he has practiced martial arts for 16 years and broke through the innate at the age of 31, which is already rare in the world.
But Lan Cai'er is even more outrageous than Lu Yuan.
At the age of twenty-six, this woman broke through the congenital, five years less than Lu Yuan.
Although among them, it is indispensable for the other party to have an entire sect and ethnic group to support, which can save a lot of time to accumulate internal strength.
But even so, the internal force can be compensated for through the Divine Blood Spirit Pill, but the cultivation of the state of mind in these aspects is not something that can be compensated by external objects.
Lan Cai'er has to cultivate herself first, enough to support the grandmaster's state of mind, so that she can have the ability to control the innate power.
Lu Yuan had read the Taoist scriptures for sixteen years, and then relied on the accumulation of attribute panels to smooth out this gap with shortcuts.
But this saint doesn't have so many cheats.
To be able to cultivate such a state of mind at the age of twenty-six is pure talent.
Therefore, it is not too much to praise the other party's talent and talent.
This woman is really better than herself.
Hearing Lu Yuan's heartfelt admiration, Lan Cai'er couldn't help but feel a little happy in her heart.
This is the approval of an enemy and a grandmaster of the same level.
It's just that although she is happy, she still has a clear understanding of herself, and she is not proud, but she just said: "I have also been taught by a famous teacher since I was a child, and then I have the Holy Sect to accumulate offerings for thousands of years, so that I can have the cultivation I have now, and I can't count my own ability."
However, the general, who started from a slight cold, can have today's achievements, all for his own hard work, far better than me, the ancestor of the ancestors. β
Lu Yuan admired Lan Cai'er's talent.
In fact, this saint does not admire his self-made man a little.
To this point.
Lu Yuan's background and encounters in recent years can be said to be on the bright side.
Anyone with a little strength can investigate his background.
And anyone who has seen this survey has to admit one thing.
That is this original hunter in the mountains, although he has adventures, but he can get to this point today, and there are today's achievements, it is indispensable to his own efforts and talents.
This is a real genius.
Otherwise, how could an illiterate hunter think of reading and writing, how could he think of practicing martial arts, how could he think of studying scriptures and cultivating the Tao, and how could he think of learning to train soldiers and fight wars......
How can we seize these many opportunities to achieve today's martial arts?
Many of the above, if you take out a single one, you can make a person become a hero of a place.
And how can all of this add up and put it together, it's not a genius, what else can it be?
Anyway, Lan Cai'er thought to herself, and changed herself to Lu Yuan's identity starting point, estimating that she had at most earned enough money from hunting now, bought some farm houses at the bottom of the mountain, and then married a wife and had children.
Even if it's a little better, at most, it's a practice of martial arts, and it can make a name for itself in the local area.
And that's the limit.
The rest is more than the vision and cognition that a hunter can have.
What amazes Lu Yuan is far more than his efforts.
It's more about his God-given vision and cognition, as well as his decisiveness to seize the opportunity when it comes.
This is what has always confused and puzzled the outside world.
A lot of people can't think clearly.
A hunter who is circling in the mountains all day long, how can he be enlightened, his vision has become broader than that of many families, and he can make this kind of correct choice, and finally come to this day step by step.
There are many speculations, even bizarre.
But no matter how they guessed, everyone still couldn't guess Lu Yuan, and in the end they could only blame it on God, and then ended the topic with a sigh.
Regarding all kinds of speculations about himself from the outside world, Lu Yuan naturally heard about it.
But he never explained the rumors, and he wouldn't explain them.
Is it possible to let yourself tell others that I am a time-traveler, a person from another world, so I have this kind of god-given vision?
to know what to do, what is best for you, and then make many of the most beneficial choices.
This obviously can't.
So for these speculations, it is best to remain silent.
Let those people guess.
Maybe if you guess and guess, you'll guess yourself into the bend.
Lu Yuan looked at the saintess in front of him, and at this time, he felt that the other party seemed to have such tendencies.
There was a little amusement in his heart, but he didn't mean to explain, he just said: "The blue girl and the blue sect leader came from afar, and they brought the sect members to help, Lu is grateful."
Today, a banquet has been held in the mansion, and the two and many members of the Five Holy Sects are invited to drink and enjoy themselves with peace of mind.
In the future, many things will be bothered for you to help. β
Lan Zhaoyun, who had been watching for a long time on the side, hurriedly said: "It's a blessing for me to be able to serve the general." After that, he will do everything in his power to serve the general. β
Lan Cai'er also nodded slightly: "The little woman is full of martial arts, and she is willing to be used by the general." β
Lu Yuan laughed: "Then thank you in advance." β
On the same day, the Lu Mansion feasted and received dozens of warriors from the Five Poisons Sect.
After the banquet was dispersed, Lu Yuan arranged for these people to live temporarily in the military camp outside the city, and first contacted the pro-soldiers and disciples he selected to participate in the extermination plan, which could be regarded as familiarizing himself with his teammates in advance.
As for Lan Zhaoyun and Lan Cai'er, they naturally stayed in Lu Yuan's mansion.
After all, the two have just gotten engaged, and according to the old man's meaning, they naturally want to get closer and enhance their relationship.
In this regard, Lu Yuan naturally will not refuse, but is happy to see it.
Like it was said earlier.
I married such a daughter-in-law and came back, if I didn't want to come to Japan when the two of them had a room together, they would die for no reason, and it was always right to add more feelings at this time.
In this two-way situation, the relationship between the two is also heating up rapidly.
After a few days, although it is not enough to talk about the love of the concubine, it will not be cold to meet, and there is no topic.
Even sometimes, Lan Caier would let out a few laughs when she heard Lu Yuan talk about interesting topics, and she gradually had the appearance of an intimate couple.
Although I don't know, the love in this is a little true and a little fake, a little heartfelt, a little forced, that's it.
However, for these, Lu Yuan didn't have time to care too much.
Because in addition to dealing with Lan Cai'er, he also has a lot of things to deal with.
β¦β¦
With the arrival of the Five Poisons Sect, the disciples who were transferred from all over Lu Yuan gradually finished handing over important military and political affairs and began to come to gather.
At the same time, just after the New Year, the imperial court sent a reminder, ordering him to gather a large army and prepare to attack the Zhou people in Jiangnan together with the imperial army in February.
In the autumn and winter of last year, the 30,000 Zhou people under the command of Li Yanjing began to take the initiative to ask Shangguan Ming to invite them to fight, but they were all shunned.
In desperation, the opponent had to find a direction and attack vigorously in order to break through.
So intermittently, after two or three months of fighting, Li Yanjing finally broke the blockade on one side, fled from Shaoyang Mansion to Changsha Mansion, and broke through a county seat there.
Then he looted the warehouse, led the remaining more than 8,000 remnants, and continued to hold on to Yiyang County, south of Dongting Lake.
Shangguan Ming followed closely with the commander of the 30,000 army, firmly surrounded the county, and completely sealed the other party in the city.
However, although the Zhou people have received food, there are only more than 8,000 remnants left, even if there are three innate grandmasters in the army to help, but it is impossible to set off waves in this land south of the Yangtze River.
What I am doing now is nothing but a dying struggle.
Shangguan Ming also saw this clearly, so he just surrounded the county seat and had no intention of attacking.
The imperial court's army of reinforcements soon arrived.
At that time, there will be 100,000 soldiers and horses, and two innate grandmasters will arrive.
When the time comes, if the soldiers and horses on Lu Yuan's side are gathered, Shangguan Ming will be able to gather six innate grandmasters, plus more than 200,000 soldiers and horses.
With such a strong army, wouldn't it be easy to level this small Yiyang county again?
Even at that time, there might not be a need to send a large army, as long as the six innate grandmasters made a move together, they could easily throw themselves into the state people in the city.
There are easy options to wait, so why risk casualties at this time and waste soldiers and horses to attack the county seat.
Therefore, at the beginning of December, after besieging Yiyang County, Shangguan Ming has been stationed outside the city, quietly waiting for reinforcements from the imperial court.
Then waited and waited, he waited for the news that Lu Yuan had rebelled against the Five Poisons Sect and was about to marry the innate saint Lan Cai'er.
Needless to say, as soon as this news came, Shangguan Ming was immediately angry enough.
Not to mention that his original plan to marry his daughter to Lu Yuan failed, and he felt a sense of anger in his heart that he had lost his good son-in-law and was being teased.
Let's just say that these rebels of the Five Poisons Sect have forcibly messed up Dongting County like this, and even the current difficult situation of the imperial court is indispensable to the other party's great credit.
But now the general Zhengnan on his side ignored these, reconciled with the traitor in private, and carried out the marriage.
What is this trying to do?
Do you want to learn the Five Poisons Sect and plot rebellion together?
Shangguan Ming felt that Lu Yuan, the general of Zhengnan, might have felt that he had broken through the innate and began to drift a little.
didn't know his true status, and tried in vain to challenge the imperial court.
"Does this son think that if he becomes an innate grandmaster, he will be able to fight against the imperial court?
What if he married the Holy Maiden of the Five Poisons Sect?
Even so, they are only two innates.
But now that the 100,000 army of the imperial court is pressing, even without him, there are still six innate grandmasters in Dongting County.
With such strength, didn't he think that he could fight against just two congenitals and those tens of thousands of rabble? β
On the same day, after Shangguan Ming received the news that Lu Yuan and the Five Poisons Sect were married, he dropped the book on the spot.
Then he scolded angrily a few times, and the general of Zhengxi began to write a letter in a hurry, sent a document to Lu Yuan's side, and ordered him.
I want to persuade this general not to do stupid things at this time, so that his good future will be ruined and he will fall into a situation from which he will never recover.
At the same time, Shangguan Ming also began to rush thousands of miles, and wrote to the imperial court to inform him of what happened here, so that the imperial court could prepare early.
However, when these letters reached Lu Yuan's side, they naturally sank into the sea.
β¦β¦
"At this time, Shangguan Ming actually wanted me to repent of my marriage with the Five Poisons Sect, and at the same time arrest these rebels and send them to the imperial court for disposal."
On this day, Lu Yuan gave Yan Wangqiu and Su Xuange flowers to enjoy in the backyard, and when they talked about the topic of the imperial court, he casually took out the letter sent by Shangguan Ming yesterday, and couldn't help laughing: "It seems that we are waiting, and the imperial court has not yet found out, which is a good thing." β
Yan Wangqiu next to him also took out a letter and said to the two: "It's a coincidence." Shangguan Ming also sent me a message, then I will be Brother Lu Xian, keeping an eye on your movements. He also said that once the virtuous brother has a different heart, then let me not hesitate to take it directly.
He will lead an army to help control the situation and take over the six prefectures in the county. β
These days, as the relationship between the three of them has become closer, they have begun to commensurate with their brothers.
Seeing this, Su Xuange couldn't help but chuckle: "The imperial court is so slow to react, this is the best news for us and others." I want to wait for the arrival of the imperial army, and when I see the three parties joining forces and helping each other with the Five Poison Sects, my face will definitely be very exciting. β
In fact, in the heart of this Su sect master, he was a little dissatisfied with the imperial court.
The reason for this dissatisfaction is also very simple.
That is, this time, the top ten grandmasters of the imperial court did not invite him.
Such a grand plan, the promise to the four grandmasters to build a country, did not even look for him Jiuchuan Sword Sect.
Yes, the last person in the Ten Grandmasters plan, the imperial court really chose Guanhai Villa instead of the Jiuchuan Sword Sect.
Is this looking down on him Su Xuange, or does the court feel that the Jiuchuan Sword Sect is not qualified.
Although among them, there may be reasons why the imperial court thinks that the Jiuchuan Sword Sect is not easy to move, and it is better to support the Guanhai Villa, which is closer to him.
But no matter what, such a big plan didn't call itself, and he didn't even have a notice, which still made Su Xuange very unhappy.
This made him feel that he was being slighted and very shameless.
Especially in the face of Lu Yuan and Yan Wangqiu, these two allies who have been invited, seeing that they are all invited, they don't have it, let alone taste.
And a warrior, a Jianghu person, feels that he has lost face, and if he has a little blood, he will find his way back.
At this time, Su Xuange thought that the way to get back to the field was to give the court a blow to the head.
Hey!
Don't you look down on me, don't you want to look for me, don't you even want to give me half a county?
Well, I don't want to be half-county this time, I don't like those.
I directly asked you for the whole Yulin County, so I asked you if you were surprised.
Su Xuange thought so maliciously in his heart.
Yan Wangqiu next to him also smiled: "This is natural." Who called the imperial court originally thought that he could gather seven grandmasters and more than 200,000 soldiers and horses.
But when they arrived in Dongting County, they had to find that they could only raise five grandmasters and more than 100,000 soldiers and horses.
And to face, in addition to the five grandmasters of the Zhou people, 300,000 troops. There are also four grandmasters including us, 700,000 soldiers and horses.
The enemy on the opposite side doubled out of thin air.
His own strength has dropped greatly.
Hehe, if I were the imperial court, I was afraid that I would be angry on the spot. β
Speaking of this, Yan Wangqiu waved the letter in his hand and said to Lu Yuan: "Brother Lu Xian, do I need to reply to some letters, so as not to expose it so quickly?" β
"Don't worry about him."
Lu Yuan shook his head: "The time has come to this, and it is useless to cover it up." It's better to take this opportunity to have a showdown with the imperial court directly. Just let them have some time, recognize the situation clearly, think about it carefully, and wait with us, whether it is war or peace. β
Yan Wangqiu said: "Then Brother Su Xian and I, let's release some wind directions first?" β
Su Xuange also forgot to come over.
"Okay, try the tone over there first."
Lu Yuan nodded, affirming this matter, and then said another thing: "Wait until tomorrow, I will leave and go to Luling Mansion to destroy the Iron Sword Gate." At that time, you will have to leave for more than ten days. At that time, the situation here will be taken care of by the two brothers. β
The matter of destroying the Iron Sword Gate, Lu Yuan would not hide it from his allies.
And the excuse for the outside world is simple.
The army did not supply enough money and food, and planned to lay down this first-class sect and borrow money and food from the other party to meet the emergency.
For such a legitimate reason, Yan Wangqiu and Su Xuange naturally couldn't have any opinions, and they agreed to acquiesce early on, and even faintly supported it.
It's just that in addition to acquiescing in support, it is inevitable that there is a little worry.
