More than a month has passed in the blink of an eye.

It was the second day of the second month of February, in the morning.

Lu Fan woke up from his meditation and opened the properties panel.

Name: Lu Fan

Lifespan: 18/2000

Power: 314.05

Dexterity: 116.47

Mental Power: 115.63

Physical strength: 432.98

Repair: second grade

Exercises: Vientiane Demon Suppression Skill Consummation, the Ninth Weight of the Tao Sutra (20550/30000)

Martial arts: gods and demons refining the body is perfect, the nine turns of the golden body are perfect, the body of ten thousand refining is perfect, the heart refining is perfect, the vajra is not bad is perfect, the dragon elephant god body is perfect, the hundred veins are perfect, the easy tendon is perfect, the ten thousand tribulations are perfect, and the immortal is perfect

Assignable stat points: 397.65

After more than a month of hard training, Lu Fan finally cultivated the Immortal Sutra to perfection, increasing his strength by 16 points, agility by 8 points, spiritual power by 8 points, and physical strength by 32 points.

His flesh became stronger.

What's more, his physical body now has a strong ability to recover and regenerate.

As long as his life is not completely cut off, no matter what his injuries are, he can come back to life.

And it can be restored.

Now his strength is equivalent to having just entered the cultivation of the Innate Third Realm, and he can steadily win the powerhouse of the Innate Second Realm.

As far as Lu Fan knew, there were nine realms in the congenital.

The first master of the Great Zhou, the ancestor of the Liu family, Liu Chunfeng is just a congenital Nine Realm cultivator.

Moreover, in the entire Great Zhou, only Liu Chunfeng alone reached the Innate Nine Realms.

Like the innate eight realms, the powerhouses of the innate seven realms are only a few people.

Even if you add the masters of the innate fourth, fifth, and sixth realms, there are no more than twenty people in total.

These people are either from super families or super sects, and they are the heads of the clans, or the patriarchs.

Otherwise, it's the Great Elder or the Ancestor.

The status is noble, and it is easy not to show up.

If it weren't for a major change, these people wouldn't have made a move.

They are more here to improve themselves, and they want to break through the innate realm as soon as possible and reach a higher level.

So as to break away from the mortal womb and become an immortal cultivator.

That's what the strong are looking for.

Compared to the larger Zhou, the number of congenital realm powerhouses in other countries is even smaller.

In other words, with Lu Fan's current strength, as long as he doesn't encounter those old monsters, no one can threaten him.

Even more so on the battlefield.

A strong person in the innate realm rarely works for the imperial court.

Even if there is, most of them are innate realm cultivation.

Then there are the royal families of various countries.

But the masters of the royal family will not easily go to the battlefield.

Therefore, even if there is really a war, with Lu Fan's current strength, when he arrives on the battlefield, he can really be invincible and defeat ten thousand troops with one person!

Another important point is that no one knows Lu Fan's true strength.

The strength he had shown before was only a grade, and he was far from reaching the innate realm.

Even if he had repelled Wei Lingtian, no one would think that he could really defeat Wei Lingtian, but because in the territory of the Great Zhou, Wei Lingtian did not dare to fight.

And that's exactly what happened.

At that time, he was really not Wei Lingtian's opponent.

But now, he could easily defeat the other party.

Go on!

Lu Fan closed his eyes and re-entered the cultivation state.

Cultivate the Tao Sutra!

From today onwards, his main energy will be spent on the Tao Sutra.

……

……

More than ten days have passed in the blink of an eye.

That afternoon, Lu Fan was meditating and practicing in the living room.

Song Xiucheng came in and reported, "My lord, the weapons and equipment of the Sword Trial Villa have arrived. ”

"Okay."

Lu Fan was overjoyed and ordered: "Captain Song, you take someone to inspect the goods, if there is no problem, distribute all the weapons and equipment to individuals, and the excess equipment will be temporarily stored in the warehouse for backup." ”

"Yes."

Song Xiucheng agreed and left quickly.

Lu Fan stopped cultivating, got up and walked out of the living room.

He had just come to the courtyard and happened to run into He Zifeng and Sun Hui.

Unlike last time, He Zifeng did not come empty-handed, and had an extra gun in his hand.

The black body, the black tip, and even the tassel are black.

Just casually holding it in your hand, it has a breathtaking feeling.

Sun Hui still carried a box on his shoulder, which was about the same size as the last box.

"Brother He, you really did what you said."

Lu Fan greeted him with a smile and asked, "What is the spear in your hand?" ”

"Let's go, come into the house and talk."

He Zifeng deliberately sold a pass.

The three of them entered the living room, and Lu Fan went to make a pot of tea and poured three cups.

"Tea, please."

"Okay."

He Zifeng threw the spear to Lu Fan, "How about looking at this gun?" ”

Lu Fan took the spear and immediately felt a chill.

The heavy one is heavier than an ordinary spear.

For him, it is extremely handy.

What's more, he held the spear in his hand, and it seemed that he was connected by blood.

As if the gun was made for him.

"Good gun!"

Lu Fan couldn't help but praise.

"This gun is made of extremely rare cold iron."

He Zifeng smiled: "I gave it to you extra." ”

"Huh?"

Lu Fan was pleasantly surprised, "Brother He, this gift is too valuable. ”

He generally understood the value of cold iron, which was by no means comparable to ordinary metals.

The most important thing is that cold iron is too rare.

Even money can't buy it.

"I know you have a Kungo knife."

He Zifeng said: "But with your strength, when you get to the battlefield, you can use a spear to be more powerful, and your marksmanship is also very good. ”

"You did it yourself?"

Lu Fan was even more surprised, and sighed: "Brother He's heart is too rare. ”

"And there's more."

He Zifeng commanded, "Open the box." ”

"Yes."

Sun Hui squatted down and opened the box.

A black light flashed.

"Come, see."

He Zifeng dragged Lu Fan to the box.

At the top was a black armor with a faint glow.

He Zifeng took out the armor and handed it to Lu Fan, "This is also for you." ”

"Oh?"

Lu Fan took the armor, it was surprisingly light and soft.

"Is this soft armor?"

"That's right."

He Zifeng nodded, "This armor is specially made of several materials mixed together, and its defensive effect far exceeds that of other armors. ”

"And, wearing it on the body, like clothes, does not affect the movement in the slightest."

"I know that your physical body is very strong, but when you really go to the battlefield, no matter how strong your physical body is, it is impossible to ignore any damage."

"With this armor, it will undoubtedly be able to block a lot of damage for you."

"It can even save your life when it matters most."

He Zifeng said: "If you like it, take it." ”

"Okay."

Lu Fan did not refuse, as He Zifeng said, no matter how strong his physical body was, it was impossible to ignore any harm.

It's always good to have an extra layer of protection.

The most important thing is that this soft armor is light and good-looking.

It looks better with a cold iron gun.

"This bow was made especially for you."

As He Zifeng spoke, he picked up another bow and handed it to Lu Fan.

Like the previous pieces of equipment, the whole body is black, and even the arrow strings are black.

Start cold, heavy and firm.

"What a bow."

Lu Fan rubbed the bow in his hand, and he was in a good mood.

All of this equipment was what he needed.

"And the dagger."

He Zifeng picked up a black dagger again and handed it to Lu Fan.

"And then there are arrows, I specially arranged for someone to build 10,000 for you."

"These arrows are more penetrating and more powerful."

"If you match this bow again, with your strength, the range will be much farther than others."

"When you get to the battlefield, you can kill as many enemies as you like!"

Speaking of this, He Zifeng looked at Lu Fan with a smile, "How?" Is Lord Lu satisfied? ”

"I'm so satisfied."

Lu Fan sighed: "Brother He's visit this time has brought me too many surprises, this gift is really valuable, and the heart is even more rare, I really can't repay it." ”

"It's too much of an outstatement for you to say that."

He Zifeng shook his head lightly, "Don't forget, you are Liu Zhi's best friend and his only friend, even if it is only for Liu Zhi's face, I am willing to help you." ”

"What's more, I admire your personality and strength, and appreciate your courage and bravery."

"The most important thing is that today's Great Zhou is coming, and I, as a Great Zhou person, of course, have to do my part."

"But unfortunately, I only have enough materials to build the best equipment."

"Of course, this set of equipment should be given to the most suitable people."

"You're the right fit."

"I believe that this set of equipment will exert its greatest power when used on you."

"On the battlefield, you will be invincible and invincible!"

Speaking of this, He Zifeng smiled at Lu Fan, "I will also feel honored at that time." ”

"Good!"

Lu Fan praised: "Brother He is really high-spirited! ”

"Your Excellency has won the prize."

He Zifeng chuckled a few times and said modestly: "Compared with you, I am still too far behind." ”

"Let's stop boasting about each other."

Lu Fan smiled: "You sit here, I'll go out and have a look." ”

"Let's do it together."

He Zifeng said: "I also want to take a look, but I must not make a mistake." ”

"Okay."

The two talked and walked out of the living room.

Sun Hui followed.

When they left the small courtyard, they saw that all the dragon shadow guards had gathered together to try out weapons and equipment.

Everyone put on armor and armor, and wore their sabers on their left waist, their bows on their shoulders, and their quivers on their right.

Pin a dagger in front of you.

"Assemble!"

With a loud shout, the Dragon Shadow Guards quickly assembled and lined up in a neat square.

Ten captains stood at the front.

Ye Wuchen faced everyone.

All the silver helmets and silver armor, coupled with black sabers, black bows and arrows, the atmosphere suddenly became solemn.

The audience was silent.

Before I could get closer, I felt suffocated.

That feeling of oppression can't help but make people's hearts beat faster and nerves tense.

The dragon shadow guards held the hilt of the knife in their hands, and drew their knives together.

"Huh!"

A uniform sound sounded, and countless sword lights were connected, and the sky was brightened up in an instant.

Even the sun in the sky is a little dimmer in comparison.

"Good!"

He Zifeng couldn't help but shout, faced Lu Fan, and praised: "Such a military appearance is really rare. Sure enough, it is worthy of the Dragon Shadow Guard, and under the creation of Lord Lu, it seems to have become an invincible army! ”

"It would not have been possible without your strong support."

As Lu Fan spoke, he came to Ye Wuchen's side and faced the dragon shadow guards, "The equipment has been issued to you, and I hope you will get familiar with it as soon as possible and be handy as soon as possible." ”

"Only when we come to the battlefield in the future can we maximize the role of these weapons and equipment."

"You can also better kill the enemy and make meritorious contributions."

Lu Fan shouted: "Put away the knife!" ”

"Yes."

All the dragon shadow guards brushed their knives together.

"Let's go."

Lu Fan turned to look at He Zifeng, "Let's have a few drinks today, if we don't get drunk, we won't return!" ”

"Be your company!"

He Zifeng responded with a smile.

"Please!"

……

……

Three days later.

Hundreds of wagons drove into the Dragon Shadow Guard barracks.

Every wagon was piled with sacks.

Stacked neatly and stacked high.

It's bags of grain.

The clouds of war are approaching day by day, and Lu Fan is preparing all the time.

Stockpiling is particularly important.

It can even be regarded as the foundation of defending the city.

Long Yingwei is stockpiling grain, and the Zhennan Army is also stockpiling grain.

Fortunately, in recent years, the wind and rain have been smooth, and there is no shortage of food in Dazhou.

In normal times, the food consumed by Long Yingwei was transferred from the military warehouse.

But not today.

After all, the amount of grain allocated by the military warehouses is limited, and the purpose of storing grain cannot be achieved.

Therefore, Lu Fan deliberately bought a batch of grain from the merchants.

"Lord Lu, you really believe in your word, and you can think of my brother and me if you have business."

Zhao Changan came to Lu Fan's residence and bowed his hand with a smile, "Thank you Lord Lu for taking care of my brother." ”

"Take care of each other."

Lu Fan smiled: "Brother Zhao can be regarded as helping me." ”

"I'm profitable."

Zhao Changan looked around and said in a low voice: "But Lord Lu's trick is really clever, and when there is really a war in the future, these grains will come in handy." ”

"Plan ahead."

Lu Fan nodded and asked, "In case there is really a war in the future, can Brother Zhao still transport grain in time?" ”

"It depends."

Zhao Changan groaned for a moment and said: "If the enemy army enters the territory of my Great Zhou and blocks the grain route, I will not be able to transport it even if I have great ability." ”

"When the time comes, there is only one way, first open up the grain road, and then transport the grain."

"However, if that day really comes, the form of the Great Zhou will definitely be very severe, and there may not be enough troops to open up the grain route."

"Coupled with the soaring prices, if you want to buy grain at that time, I am afraid that you will have to pay several times more than the price, and you may not be able to buy it."

"So, you're right to stock up on food in advance."

"At least there are no worries, and you can let go and boldly respond to the enemy."

"Even if you can't hold on to it."

"It is not easy for the enemy to capture Zhennan Pass."

"If the form improves, you can even lead the army to defend and win the initiative."

Zhao Changan said: "I believe that Lord Lu has this ability. ”

"The forms of war are changing rapidly, and when the time comes, we can only respond according to the form."

Lu Fan sighed: "If it really comes to the day when the mountains and rivers are exhausted, please ask Brother Zhao to help." ”

"Don't worry, I'll do my best to help you."

Zhao Changan happily agreed.

Lu Fan also knows that this kind of verbal promise cannot be taken seriously, if it really comes to a moment of crisis, when others are too busy to take care of themselves, no one can help you.

You can only save yourself on your own.

But the kind words still have to be said, "Okay, Brother Zhao's favor, I'll write it down first." ”

Zhao Changan responded with a smile: "Lord Lu is polite. ”

Lu Fan roughly calculated, this batch of food was enough for Long Yingwei to eat for more than a year.

If you save it, you can even eat it for two years.

Coupled with the usual supply of the military warehouse, even if war comes, it can hold out for a long time.

At least two years without hunger.

That's enough.

Lu Fan believes in his own strength, and if he is given another two years to grow, he will not be afraid of anyone.

With the strength of just one person, he can influence the entire battle situation.

……

……

It's March.

It was the third day of the third month of March, in the morning.

Lu Fan, as usual, meditated and cultivated in the living room.

Recently, he had become familiar with the Cold Iron Spear, as well as his newly acquired Cloud Piercing Bow, and the Dagger Black Mist.

It's all the names he gave at random when he was idle.

Today, his perception of marksmanship and archery is far better than before, especially the control of power, which is becoming more and more perfect.

He can almost do everything and understand a thousand things.

The comprehension of knife skills is also adapted to marksmanship and archery.

Vice versa.

At the same time, his cultivation was also growing steadily.

With his current cultivation speed, it won't take long for him to be promoted to a first grade.

Go on!

Lu Fan still didn't dare to relax in the slightest, and spent almost all his energy on cultivation.

I don't know how long it took, but there was a knock on the door outside, "My lord, Qin Yu asks to see you." ”

"Come in."

As time went by, when all the dragon shadow guards saw Lu Fan, they all called him an adult and saluted him.

Even Qin Yu is no exception.

This gap in status will greatly affect the way they get along.

There are very few jokes between each other.

Except for Ye Wuchen, all the Dragon Shadow Guards adapted to Lu Fan's new identity and treated him as a superior.

Even Su Mu's attitude towards Lu Fan is not as unscrupulous as before.

It's a little more respectful and careful.

They all knew in their hearts, although Lu Fan took them the same as before, but they couldn't.

There is already a barrier between the upper and lower levels, and the greater the difference between the levels, the higher the barrier.

Especially in places like military camps, it is even more necessary to avoid them.

"Yes."

After Qin Yu entered the house, he closed the door casually.

"Sit down."

Lu Fan motioned for Qin Yu to sit down and asked, "What's the news lately?" ”

"The state of Chu is still adding troops to the border."

Qin Yu said: "According to the information I have received, there are at least 300,000 troops stationed on the border, and there may actually be more. ”

"Hmm."

Lu Fan nodded, "It's spring, the weather is getting warmer, and since the Chu State has hundreds of thousands of troops, it means that they are ready for war and may go to war at any time." ”

"That's true."

Qin Yu agreed, "When they have gathered their troops and the supply of grain and grass can keep up, they will send troops to attack our town Nanguan." ”

"Any other news?"

Lu Fan asked, "Is there any movement in Yue and Shu?" ”

"Yes."

Qin Yu's face was worried, "The Yue State and the Shu State are gathering troops to the border at the same time, in my estimation, these two countries may send troops at the same time as the Chu State, so we will be overwhelmed and unable to support each other at all." ”

"Sure enough, it came."

Lu Fan had actually estimated it.

Except for the Wei State, there is no country whose strength can be compared with the Great Zhou.

Although the strength of the Chu State is also good, it is still slightly worse than the Great Zhou.

Therefore, if the state of Chu dares to attack the Great Zhou, it will definitely unite with other countries.

Yue and Shu are undoubtedly good choices.

It's all in the south, and the three countries are not far away.

It only needs to send troops at the same time, and it will overwhelm Da Zhou.

After all, it is the power of a country to deal with a border city.

The odds are still very good.

The Southeast Army of the Great Zhou Dynasty dealt with the Yue State, and the Southwest Army dealt with the Shu State.

And Lu Fan's Zhennan Army was under the most pressure, dealing with the Chu State.

In comparison, Chu is the strongest, Yue is second, and Shu is the worst.

As for the Great Zhou side, if you don't count the Dragon Shadow Guard, the strength of these three border armies is not much different.

Counting Long Yingwei, it is certain that the Zhennan Army is the strongest, followed by the Southwest Army, and the Southeast Army is the worst.

Therefore, if the three countries attack at the same time, the most dangerous thing is actually the Southeast Army.

The safest is the Zhennan Army.

"yes."

Qin Yu sighed: "I didn't expect these countries to form an alliance and jointly attack my Great Zhou, the current situation is not good." ”

"Hmm."

Lu Fan nodded, "The Wei Kingdom in the north has long been ready to move, and the Xia Kingdom and the Yan Kingdom may also send troops together." ”

"If the war situation in the north is critical, the Royal Forest Army will focus on supporting the north, and will not have time to take care of us here."

"The Qin State in the west and the Qi State in the east, although they may not be able to send troops, our Zhendong Army and Zhenxi Army will definitely not dare to act rashly, so they will not be able to send troops to support us."

Lu Fan analyzed: "Therefore, once the battle starts, we can only rely on ourselves, and no one can help us." ”

"With you, I'm not afraid!"

Qin Yu suddenly said, "I believe in you, no matter how difficult it is, you will lead us out of the predicament." ”

"It's not just me, all the Dragon Shadow Guards, including Ye Wuchen, think so."

Qin Yu said loudly: "If the Chu army dares to come to invade the south pass of our town, he will definitely be called back!" ”

"Well said!"

Lu Fan praised: "You should have this kind of courage!" ”

"I'm afraid it's useless."

"The more moments like this, the more courage is needed."

Lu Fan took the opportunity to cheer Qin Yu up, "No matter how difficult it is in the future, we must be firm in our hearts, and the one who wins in the end must be us!" ”

"That's right."

Qin Yu clenched his fists and replied loudly.

"Any other news?"

Lu Fan asked again: "On Langui Street, has something happened recently?" ”

"No, just these two pieces of news for now."

Qin Yu shook his head, "Langui Street has been very quiet recently, Xu Zhao has never been to Langui Street again, listening to Qiao Yun, it seems that Miss Liu Dai didn't want to follow Xu Zhao, so she let Xu Zhao go away." ”

"Oh."

Lu Fan thought to himself, sure enough.

The top card of the hook column, who is used to living a life of worry-free food and clothing, how can he follow the poor scholar back to suffer?

Unless Xu Zhao's identity is revealed.

Maybe Liu Dai will have another attitude.

"As for the matter of the dead people of the Bloody Clothes Gang, neither the Thousand Machines Battalion nor the Bloody Clothes Gang can find useful clues, so they have been put on hold for the time being."

Qin Yu frowned, "It's really strange, where did the murderer come from?" ”

Lu Fan thought of Tang Xuanwan again, and became more and more suspicious that this person was the murderer.

But others can't suspect Tang Qiuwan.

After all, Tang Qiuwan had never cultivated, how could she kill the people of the Bloody Clothes Gang?

Even if it's just a few little minions, they have also practiced martial arts, which is not something that ordinary people can deal with.

Not to mention a little girl?

kills someone, but still leaves no traces, without being discovered, obviously a good practitioner.

"Okay, I see."

Lu Fan looked at Qin Yu, "If there is nothing else, you can go and get busy." ”

"Yes."

Qin Yu said goodbye and left.

Lu Fan fell into deep thought.

Seeing that war was coming, he had made all the preparations he had to make.

Long Yingwei's morale is still quite high.

The entire Zhennan Army did not panic much.

Everyone seems to be ready.

Come on!

He wants to earn countless battle exploits, and exchange them for more exercises and martial arts to improve his strength.

But before that, there is one more thing to do.

It's time to upgrade the Dharma Sutra.
