The envoy of the Xichuan Kingdom came and went in a hurry. Bon

After reaching an agreement on the issue of annexation, the two brothers, Hui'an and Huiming, quickly resigned and left.

They still have a lot of work ahead of them.

Negotiating the terms with the State of Chu is only the first step, and the next step is to prove your worth and fulfill the requirements of the King of Chu for the Baifeng Temple.

For example, under the attack of the Nanzhao army, it is the most important to hold Nanchong Mansion and hold it at least until April.

Because only by holding on and completing the task can they show that their Baifeng Temple is useful, can they be accepted by the Chu State, and can they have a future.

And if you can't keep it......

If you can't hold Nanchong Mansion, then under the heavy siege of the Nanzhao army, Baifeng Temple will naturally not be lucky. Bon

and the people of Nanchong Mansion will fall together, which will be their final fate.

Fortunately, the king of Chu also knew the difficulties of Xichuan Kingdom, and finally promised that he would send a forbidden army of 20,000 people to Nanchong Mansion to assist in the defense and resist the Nanzhao army together.

This made Hui An and the two feel somewhat relieved.

They are more or less clear about the strength of the forbidden army of Chu State.

I know that it was built by the King of Chu for more than ten years, and during this period, he continuously absorbed the elite soldiers of Qianyue, Zhou, and pseudo-Shu, and trained them.

The entire Great Chu, there are only nine elite soldiers like this, all of whom are sharp and invincible in the world.

Now that the king of Chu can send one to them, it can be seen that he is indeed interested in the Xichuan Kingdom, not just using them. Bon

Well, that's it.

Hui'an and they believed that if there was only Baifeng Temple, then the king of Chu might make empty promises, fool them into working hard, and finally unload the mill and kill the donkey, and they would not admit it.

But with this forbidden army, he didn't believe that the king of Chu would give up one of his forbidden armies, just for a small country like Kengxichuan, which was dying.

That's too extravagant.

Yes, in Hui'an's eyes, a forbidden army of 20,000 people is worth more than their entire Xichuan country.

After all, with the current situation of the Jihui Holy King, it is really a question of whether he can fight more than 5,000 elite soldiers on the battlefield, let alone 20,000.

Especially the 20,000 forbidden troops, they are all descendants of the king of Chu, and they are just outsiders, lacking a sufficient foundation of trust. Bon

The value of both sides to the king of Chu is already obvious.

Baifeng Temple, which has declined to the present day, really doesn't have much capital to bargain with people.

However, it is precisely because of this that Lu Yuan's move to transfer troops to assist in defense can better appease the hearts of Baifeng Temple, so that they can rest assured that they can serve the Chu State.

"And now, it's time for my Baifeng Temple to repay all this."

After the spring rain, on the muddy road, on the way back from the mission of Xichuan Kingdom, Hui'an looked at the lush green mountains, his eyes were firm.

……

After sending off the envoys of Xichuan Kingdom, Lu Yuan ordered Yousi to send troops to Xichuan County, and asked the country to send grain and grass to Xichuan County, and after storing supplies, he didn't pay much attention to that side. Bon

As mentioned earlier, the fighting in Xichuan County will not break out until April at the earliest.

Before that, everything is just a preparatory stage, accumulating strength for the next battle.

And Lu Yuan doesn't need to take care of these things, he only needs to give orders, and the rest are only the officials under him to do things.

Otherwise, he spends so much money every year and raises so many officials, is it because he is kind to raise pigs?

Therefore, after making the decision to go to Xichuan County in April, Lu Yuan not only did not take care of these trivial matters, but also completely delegated some government affairs that needed to be handled by himself to Cui Changqing, the left minister of the country, and Lan Caier, the queen of the country.

All the big and small affairs of the country were handed over to these two people to deal with the decision.

Lu Yuan just grasped some general directions, and looked at the government affairs report every two or three days to understand what was happening in China. Bon

And the time saved by the trusteeship state office in this way was all used by him for cultivation.

It is already the middle of the first month, and there are only more than two months left before the scheduled departure date of April.

But now Lu Yuan's understanding of the Yellow Turban Lux is still just a beginner, and he barely has some understanding.

This is far from enough for his plan and for refining this magical power.

Before Lu Yuan set out on the expedition, he had to comprehend this magical power, and at least he had to refine a Yellow Turban Warrior.

In this way, after he left, in Qianzhong County, there was an innate level of combat power in charge.

Don't worry about your absence, someone will take the opportunity to do something in Qianzhong County and destroy the good situation here. Bon

Time passed slowly, and it was the time of the Lantern Festival in an instant.

It was the festive season, and the Chu people who had newly moved to Shicheng finally got through the early hardships after settling down for more than a year, and their families accumulated some surplus wealth.

Therefore, after the Spring Festival, the people in the city, who still have a lot of savings, once again celebrated the Lantern Festival.

Lanterns are hung on the streets, from the customs of the Chu people, guessing lantern riddles, eating Lantern Festival, releasing river lanterns, lighting fireworks, and watching changing faces......

A variety of interesting things that had never appeared in Stone City before appeared at a dazzling speed in this newly developed wild land.

The original people in the city were also in this prosperous scene, and they couldn't help but indulge in it. Some teenagers, or people who learn quickly, have blended in and started to laugh together.

In this bustle, the boundary between the Chu people and the Yi people does not seem to be as clear as it used to be. Bon

The light emitted by civilization is gradually infecting the wilderness, making it gorgeous with it.

And at this time of joy, Lu Yuan was also in the palace and feasted hundreds of officials in the city.

However, he did not indulge in it, but after making a slight appearance at the banquet, he quickly withdrew and went to a secluded hall.

"The Lantern Festival is full of people. This prosperous world is joyful, fireworks and red dust, it is the time when people's hearts gather and luck soars. ”

Lu Yuan walked to the center of the hall, came to a row of large wooden boxes, bent down to open one of them, took out a jade bone that shimmered with white fluorescence, and muttered in his mouth: "At this time, it is just right to refine the Yellow Turban Lux." ”

After more than a month of scheduling, the first batch of spiritual materials sent from China had arrived in Shicheng as early as three days ago.

It's just that he is limited to his lack of understanding of the magical powers of the Yellow Turban Force, and the time has not yet arrived, so even if he has the materials, Lu Yuan has not started refining. Bon

But in the past few days, he has comprehended supernatural powers and has entered the country a little.

In addition, it is the Lantern Festival at this time, which is the time when the people's luck in the city is the most active and condensed, for Lu Yuan, who practices the way of luck, it can be called a heavenly time and a person.

Therefore, taking advantage of this excellent opportunity, he finally planned to try to refine the Yellow Turban Lux.

Of course, it's just a preliminary refining, some preliminary preparations, and a little processing of the materials.

To truly refine the Yellow Turban Lux, it is not yet time yet, Lu Yuan's realm is not enough, and the materials are also insufficient.

He still has to continue to comprehend, and wait for the materials collected from those martial arts sects in the country to collect them, and then send them over.

"For now, let's use these to practice your hands." Bon

After holding the jade bone in his hand and carefully studying it for a long time, a yellow light flashed in Lu Yuan's eyes, and then a mana poured out along the palm holding the jade bone, pouring into the jade bone.

Suddenly, a faint yellow light shone through the jade bones, illuminating the somewhat dim hall.

On the surface of the jade bone that emitted a light source, mysterious runes began to circulate one after another.

Between the flows, Lu Yuan's divine thoughts gradually penetrated into the jade bones, fused with those runes, and slowly attached to the jade bones.

Although the Yellow Turban Lux looks the same as the refining weapon, they all practice all kinds of heaven and earth treasures into various powerful magic weapons, and finally use them as weapons.

In some ways, it's really similar to ritual instruments.

But as an external supernatural power, how can the Yellow Turban Lux really be the same as a magic weapon? Bon

The biggest difference between it and magic weapons is that as a supernatural power, it is actually essentially equivalent to a fixed spell of Lu Yuan, and every move is completely controlled by his own mind.

That is to say, after the Yellow Turban Lux is refined, it is almost equal to a clone of Lu Yuan, which can be used as an extension of his will and has considerable autonomy.

For example, he planned to go to Xichuan in April, and then leave the Yellow Turban Lux behind to protect Qianzhong County.

It is this doppelganger nature that is relied on.

Even if the two sides are thousands of miles apart, Lu Yuan can control and influence the Yellow Turban Lux to a certain extent, so that he can move and fight according to his own heart.

Based on this alone, the external supernatural power of the Yellow Turban Lux is much stronger than those magic weapons that are like dead things without anyone to control them.

And what makes the Yellow Turban Lux have this characteristic is the supernatural rune that Lu Yuan inscribed and infiltrated in the jade bone at this time. Bon

It is this kind of supernatural rune that contains his own divine thoughts that is the key to his ability to control the Yellow Turban Lux from thousands of miles away.

Because those supernatural runes already contained Lu Yuan's divine thoughts, which was equivalent to a trace of his distraction.

And when the materials for refining the Yellow Turban Lux are all infiltrated by these supernatural runes containing divine thoughts, then the Yellow Turban Lux that is finally refined is essentially equivalent to the aggregate of Lu Yuan's countless divine thoughts.

And when these divine thoughts are aggregated together according to the rules of the supernatural runes, it also produces an effect equivalent to the avatar of divine thoughts.

In fact, it is precisely for this reason.

Refining the Yellow Turban Lux requires too many divine thoughts, and with Lu Yuan's divine soul strength at this time, there is not much to distinguish at all.

With the cultivation of condensing one qi at this time, it is almost the limit to be able to separate the divine thoughts required by a Yellow Turban Force. Bon

No matter how much he has, with his current Divine Soul strength, there is a risk of damaging the foundation and even collapsing the Divine Soul.

The danger in this is too great, and Lu Yuan will not do it unless he has to.

Even if it weren't for the fact that the Chu State was too scarce now, the top-level combat power would not even be cultivated by the Yellow Turban Warrior in front of him.

There is no other reason.

Every Yellow Turban Lux is equivalent to a divine thought clone of Lu Yuan.

And when these clones of the Yellow Turban Lux were severely injured or even beheaded, it was equivalent to his soul being severely injured and even permanently annihilated.

Although the divine soul that was severely damaged by others, or even the divine soul that was killed, it can be made up for by cultivating the divine soul in the future. Bon

But when you think that your soul will be severely damaged or even destroyed by someone, this is not a good thing no matter how you look at it.

Moreover, things like divine souls are too secretive and important, and they are fundamentally related to life, and they will even affect cultivation.

If such an important thing was damaged, Lu Yuan was not sure what the impact would be.

"One or two Yellow Turban Lux is fine, but if there are a large number of Yellow Turban Lux who are damaged all of a sudden, it will exceed my tolerance limit, I'm afraid it will directly make me an idiot, and even my soul can't bear to crack, right?"

While recalling the details of the Yellow Turban Lux's magical power, while refining the jade bone in his hand, Lu Yuan thought slowly in his heart.

The moonlight is long.

The moonlight in the middle of the moon is exceptionally bright, and the white light shines into the main hall through the windows and doors of the main hall, and the yellow light here reflects each other. Bon

In the brilliant brilliance, Lu Yuan held the jade bone in his hand, and his figure was mysterious and lonely.

The night was destined to be long.

……

After the Lantern Festival, all of Lu Yuan's energy was devoted to refining various spiritual materials.

He didn't have much understanding of the supernatural runes, and he had only mastered about half of all the divine patterns of the Yellow Turban Lux so far. The rest has to be slowly comprehended, and there is no way to refine the entire supernatural power at once.

Moreover, every time a material is refined, and every divine pattern is painted, it is almost equivalent to dividing a part of Lu Yuan's divine thoughts, constantly weakening his divine soul.

With his current divine soul strength, although he can withstand the divine thoughts required to split into a yellow turban wrestler. Bon

But being able to withstand it doesn't mean that he can split this part of his soul in an instant.

If this is the case, a large number of divine souls will be directly divided, and I am afraid that there will be no need to wait for a large number of Yellow Turban Lux to be destroyed in the future.

At this time, Lu Yuan will directly become an idiot, or his soul will be severely damaged and shattered.

Therefore, in order to be safe, and for one's own soul to be able to support it, the separation of these divine thoughts cannot be rushed, and it must be tricky.

Divide a wisp today, divide a wisp tomorrow, spend a few days and a half months, and quench a material. Then it took two or three months to quench the materials needed for the entire Yellow Turban Lux.

In this way, on the basis of not harming the divine soul, slowly splitting the divine thoughts, can leave enough time for Lu Yuan to bear and recover.

It is precisely because of this that he said to Hui'an, the envoy of Xichuan Kingdom, that he should hold on until April at least. Bon

Because this is the time when Lu Yuan can just complete the quenching of all the materials of the entire Yellow Turban Lux after estimating.

When all the materials have been quenched, a complete set of Yellow Turban Lux's supernatural runes will be painted.

At that time, the runes will be ready, and they will only need to be arranged and assembled slightly, and a powerful Yellow Turban Lux clone will be freshly baked.

So everything is in the planning, things are not out of control, and Lu Yuan is not in a hurry about time.

Now it's just a matter of following your own plan, taking it step by step and waiting for April to come.

Under this planning, the time soon came to the third day of February.

On this day, Lu Yuan had just finished refining today's spiritual materials, and before he could recover the split divine thoughts from meditation, a piece of information that came quickly from the south quickly pulled him out of his immersed cultivation. Bon

"The king of the South China Sea!"

Lu Yuan took the secret report urgently transmitted from Lingnan by the Imperial City Outer Division, and after reading the contents, the whole person couldn't help but be stunned.

Although at the end of the third year of Shenwu, when Yan Wangqiu was so angry that he was sick in bed because of the scandal of his son and concubine, he had already expected today's events.

Even Yan Wanqiu's ability to drag out his serious illness and struggle to continue to survive until the beginning of the sixth year of Shenwu is already quite amazing.

But when this day came, Lu Yuan still felt some shock and grief.

He is not a heartless man.

He can have his current achievements, and Da Chu can be established, and Yan Wangqiu must contribute. Especially the establishment of the three alliances with the Nanhai faction and the Jiuchuan Sword faction was all the credit of this old-timer. Bon

is also because of this kindness, so for the South China Sea Country, Lu Yuan has not made any small moves over the years.

Such a thing as receiving fugitives from the Soviet Union has never happened to the South China Sea.

Moreover, in terms of foreign diplomacy over the years, especially when Yan Wangqiu was seriously ill in the past two years, the State of Chu has also taken care of the South China Sea, helping him block a lot of threats from the State of Ning and the State of Su, and reducing a lot of trouble.

All of the above is to repay Yan Wangqiu's kindness to him at the beginning.

It's just that I didn't expect that the old-timers who helped me a lot at the beginning and were recognized by my heart have finally left this world today.

"Life is short, life and death are parting. If you don't live forever, after all, it's just a white horse passing through the gap between heaven and earth, and it's fleeting.

The previous time was Wu Anhou leaving, and now it is the king of the South China Sea leaving, and I don't know who it should be next time? Bon

The road to immortality is long, and I don't know who in this world can come to the end with me.

Or, I am destined to be alone in this vicissitudes of life. ”

Lu Yuan came back to his senses from this shock and couldn't help but sigh sadly.

I still remember the first time I met Yan Wangqiu, it was when I was in the sixth year of the former Yue Hongdao. Now that the other party has died, ten years have passed in the blink of an eye.

It's only been ten years, and he has sent away two old people.

After another ten years, I don't know how many people I have to send away.

The others Lu Yuan didn't know, but his left minister, Cui Changqing, was already an old man over sixty years old. Bon

Such an old man, who manages the affairs of a country all the year round, has to spend a lot of mental energy every day.

At this time, although the other party is still in good spirits, he looks full of vitality, and he can handle many government affairs presented to him every day in an orderly manner.

But Lu Yuan knows that the other party's posture now is actually overdrawing his life and burning his last energy.

Under the high-intensity work pressure every day, even if someone told him that Cui Changqing might suddenly die tomorrow, he would not be surprised.

Lu Yuan had also persuaded the other party before.

But unfortunately, Cui Changqing, who had wasted the first half of his life, met the master in the last period of his life, and got a stage to display his talents, and he was not willing to give up his life's ideals for the sake of a temporary life.

The other party solved Lu Yuan's persuasion, and still chose to shine for the Chu State and fight for his ideals. Bon

And the results did not disappoint him.

Under Cui Changqing and Sun Siwen, the state of Chu is now thriving.

Not only are the people happy, but the country's strength has increased greatly.

Now it is constantly expanding its territory, and it is constantly advancing towards the position of Yangzhou in the world promised by Lu Yuan at the beginning.

All of the above is far more important for Cui Changqing than giving up his ideals and living for a few years or ten years.

But that's exactly why.

Under this kind of overdraft, Lu Yuan has a hunch that Cui Changqing, an old-timer who has helped him a lot like Yan Wangqiu, may not be able to survive the next ten years. Bon

It may be a year or two, maybe two or three years, or five or six years later, the other party will die of illness at his job like Zhuge Wuhou in his previous life.

Worked hard for the state of Chu and shed the last drop of blood.

And Lu Yuan will also send away another person who is very important in his heart.

Even in the next fifty years, one hundred years, and two hundred years, he will send Sun Siwen, Zhou Qing, Lan Caier, and those descendants one after another......

Sad! It hurts!

The way of immortality was only the first time he set foot in it, and Lu Yuan had already felt its suffering.
