"Coupled with the successive battles, the Chu State lost as many as 200,000 elites."

Lu Fan continued: "In my estimation, there are only a hundred thousand elites left in the Chu State at most, but they are actually vulnerable. ”

"As long as our two countries join forces, the state of Chu will be defeated."

"When the time comes, our two countries will divide the Chu State, and what you will get from the Yue Kingdom will be more than ten cities?"

Lu Fan said with a smile: "Not only has it saved the loss of your Yue Kingdom, but also saved the face of your Yue Emperor, and it can also take the opportunity to expand its territory and enhance its strength, why not?" ”

"This ......"

Zhuang Yu was really a little moved.

Of course, the premise of everything is based on the inevitable defeat of the state of Chu.

But with Lu Fan's strength and future potential, maybe he can really do it.

The reason why Yue Guo chose to seek peace was not because he was afraid of the current Lu Fan, but because he was afraid of Lu Fan in the future.

After all, Lu Fan was only eighteen years old, and he was already the God of War of the Great Zhou.

If he grows up for a few more years, who will be able to stop this person?

At least Yue Guo can't stop it.

"If you don't agree, forget it."

Lu Fan snorted coldly: "To tell you the truth, even if we go to attack the Chu State alone, we have a great chance of winning, and the reason why we brought the Yue Kingdom is to give you a chance." ”

"Don't."

Zhuang Yu hurriedly stopped Lu Fan and said with a smile: "Please also ask Lord Lu to give me some time to think about the pros and cons." ”

"It's time to think about it."

Lu Fan knew that there were some things that the other party couldn't do, so he asked, "Is ten days enough for you?" ”

"Enough, enough."

Zhuang Yu got up and saluted the three of them, "Ladies and gentlemen, then I will retire first." ”

"Okay, let's go."

Seeing Zhuang Yu leave, Lu Fan and Yuan Wenchu looked at each other and smiled.

It seems that there is a drama in this matter.

Perhaps the breaking point has arrived.

"Lord Lu, I don't think the matter of the Emperor Yue being a minister will not affect the overall situation."

Yuan Wenchu remembered what happened just now and said: "It's just a title, there's no need to miss the opportunity because of this." ”

"yes."

Liu Feng answered: "If it is in normal times, we will never agree. But now, the situation in Da Zhou cannot allow us to drag it on. We must seize this opportunity to completely turn the situation in the south around, so that we can wave our troops north to rescue the capital. ”

"Then listen to the two adults."

Lu Fan naturally had no objections, he knew which was more important.

In the future, as long as Da Zhou is strong enough, there is no need for him to speak, and naturally there will be countries vying to be vassals to Da Zhou.

It even became a vassal state of the Great Zhou.

"Okay."

Yuan Wenchu was overjoyed, "As long as Yue Guo agrees to our conditions, the south will have no worries from now on." ”

"Hmm."

Liu Feng nodded, "We'll wait for him for ten days, and everything will be known in ten days." ”

……

……

Ten days later.

July 10th, morning.

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

Name: Lu Fan

Lifespan: 18/2630

Power: 469.53

Dexterity: 191.96

Mental Power: 181.13

Physical strength: 612.45

Cultivation is: Innate realm

Exercises: Vientiane Demon Suppression Skill Complete, the Eleventh Weight of the Tao Sutra (11230/50000)

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 King Kong is not bad, the dragon elephant is perfect, the hundred veins are perfect, the Yijin marrow washing is complete, the ten thousand tribulations are perfect, the immortal meridian is complete, and the dragon is perfect.

Assignable stat points: 539.94

After more than a month of hard work, Lu Fan finally trained the Divine Dragon to perfection, increasing his strength by 32 points, agility by 16 points, mental power by 16 points, and physical strength by 64 points.

Coupled with the usual growth of various attributes, his strength soared again.

The most important thing is that after training the Divine Dragon to perfection, not only did he strengthen his physical body again, but also made his physical body as powerful as the Divine Dragon.

At the same time, he also has a new means of saving his life.

Dragon Protector!

Can block a critical blow.

No matter how powerful the attack is, if it hits Lu Fan, it will leave him a glimmer of life because of the existence of the divine dragon body.

If combined with the Immortal Sutra exercises, Lu Fan is infinitely close to the immortal body.

Rely on the Divine Dragon Protector to block the fatal blow, and then rely on the powerful recovery power of the Immortal Sutra to regain your strength.

Even if he encounters a powerhouse of the Innate Nine Realms, he can still save his life.

What's more, Lu Fan's strength has now improved again, and he is equivalent to a powerhouse of the innate five realms of cultivation.

There are fewer and fewer people who can threaten him.

But he still couldn't relax.

Especially at times like these.

Go on!

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

After a long time, Liu Feng's voice came from outside the camp tent, "Lord Lu, the country of Yue has a letter, and the commander invites you to go over to discuss the matter." ”

"Okay."

Lu Fan got up and walked out of the tent, and Liu Feng came to the Commander's Mansion and entered the conference hall.

Yuan Wenchu and Zhuang Yu were already waiting here.

"I've seen Lord Lu."

Zhuang Yu's attitude was still respectful, but his face was a little less panicked and a little more confident.

"Sit down."

Several people exchanged a few words and sat down.

"Ladies and gentlemen."

Zhuang Yuchong hugged his fists at the three of them and said with a smile: "I just received His Majesty's will today, and according to what you said, I am willing to cooperate with you in sending troops." ”

"There is only one condition, the cities captured by our Yue Kingdom will all belong to our Yue Kingdom in the future."

Speaking of this, Zhuang Yu looked at the three of them separately, "I don't know if you have any objections?" ”

"That's how it should be."

Lu Fan and the three nodded at the same time.

"Since you have made concessions, in order to show your sincerity, then we will also take a step back."

Yuan Wenchu said with a smile: "The matter of the emperor of your country being a minister is exempted, and the Yue State and the Great Zhou are not subordinate, but equal allies." ”

"Okay."

Zhuang Yu was overjoyed, and a big stone in his heart fell to the ground, "Thank you for your understanding, and I am grateful." ”

"Within a month, the first batch of compensation must be delivered to Wind Thunder City in time without delay."

Lu Fan answered: "At the same time, the ten cities will be handed over smoothly. ”

"No problem."

Zhuang Yu happily agreed.

"You can discuss the specific details."

Lu Fan got up and said goodbye: "I'll go first." ”

"Okay."

The three of them got up at the same time to see each other off.

Liu Feng kept sending out of the Commander's Mansion, looked at no one around, and asked, "Lord Lu, what are your plans for the next step?" Are we really going to attack the state of Chu? ”

"This matter has to be discussed in the long run."

Lu Fan shook his head lightly, "With our troops, even if there is the help of the Yue State, it will be a great risk to rashly attack the Chu State." ”

"yes."

Liu Feng sighed: "After all, the State of Chu has a profound heritage, there are too many families and sect masters, when the State of Chu invades others, they may not make a move, but once the State of Chu is invaded, maybe they will take action to help the State of Chu tide over the difficulties." ”

"That's right."

Lu Fan also has concerns in this regard.

After all, his current strength is not invincible, and the Chu State also has top powerhouses.

Like a master above the Innate Seven Realms, he would still pose a threat to Lu Fan.

Usually, these strong people may not ask about the world, but if the Chu State really reaches a critical moment, maybe these strong people will make a move.

This potential danger should be avoided as much as possible.

With the current strength of the Great Zhou, he can't afford to toss it at all.

Therefore, the attack on Chu can only be postponed, and for the time being, it is still necessary to defend the city.

"Lord Lu, do you think it is possible for the Yue State to cheat?"

Liu Feng was still a little uneasy, and asked: "The purpose is to delay time, and want to wait for the situation in the north to turn around, and then strike a counterattack against us?" ”

"Of course it's possible."

Lu Fan said: "But no matter what, we won't lose anything, just see if the Yue State will deliver the compensation on time within a month, and hand over the ten cities to us in time." ”

"If everything goes well, it means that there is no problem with Vietnam."

Liu Feng answered: "We can deal with the Chu State or the Shu State with peace of mind. ”

"Hmm."

Lu Fan nodded, "I'm going to go back to Zhennanguan tomorrow, if there is any news in the future, you send someone to me as soon as possible, and we will make the next decision according to the situation." ”

"Okay."

Liu Feng said: "If the State of Chu attacks Zhennan Pass, I will immediately bring people to support, and if you have any follow-up actions, you must also notify me in time, so that I can cooperate with your actions." ”

"No problem."

The two discussed for a while, and then Lu Fan said goodbye and left.

……

……

Early the next morning.

Lu Fan took two dragon shadow guards and set off from the military camp and drove out of the city.

"Ladies and gentlemen, there will be a date later."

Yuan Wenchu led the generals and sent them ten miles away before he stopped and said goodbye.

"Farewell!"

Saying goodbye to the generals, Lu Fan, Ye Wuchen, Gu Cheng, and the three of them rode to the front of the team and rode side by side.

There was a commotion ahead.

The road was full of people, who spontaneously came to see off Lu Fan and the Dragon Shadow Guards.

"Lu Fan!"

Many people began to shout Lu Fan's name from afar, waving non-stop.

When Lu Fan and the others approached, the people were even more excited and cheered loudly.

In the hearts of the people, Lu Fan and Long Yingwei are both heroes and benefactors.

Wind Thunder City was saved, and so was home.

The family members are also safe and sound.

What could be more important than that?

"Lu Fan!"

Amidst the shouts of the crowd, the Dragon Shadow Guards slowly moved forward.

They enjoyed the moment.

Especially feeling the admiration and even adoration in people's eyes, they have a sense of satisfaction.

Thinking about the military exploits they have accumulated, my heart is even more gratifying.

Along the way, there were countless people cheering for the Dragon Shadow Guards.

The long line never broke.

Ten miles away from the barracks, it continued to the north city gate.

Moreover, the more people walk, the more people go.

Countless people rushed to witness the demeanor of Lu Fan and the dragon shadow guards, and the admiration was endless.

"So he's Lu Fan?"

"Sure enough, the hero is world-renowned, and his bearing is extraordinary."

"It is worthy of the god of war of our Great Zhou!"

In the admiration of the people, Lu Fan and the Dragon Shadow Guards left the city from the north gate, left the Wind Thunder City, and marched towards the south pass of the town.

Five days later.

Everyone arrived at the foot of the mountain where the Sword Villa was located, which was the intersection of two major roads.

To the south leads to Zhennan Pass, and to the north leads to the capital.

To the east, you can reach Wind Thunder City, and to the west is Cangyun City.

"Lord Lu, let's say goodbye here."

Gu Cheng led the Southwest Army Long Yingwei to bid farewell to Lu Fan and others.

"Okay."

Lu Fan nodded slightly, "Remember to exchange news, and when the situation is clear, we will make the next decision." ”

"No problem."

Gu Cheng said: "As long as you say a word, no matter where you go, our Southwest Army Dragon Shadow Guard will follow." ”

"There will be a date later!"

"Farewell!"

Gu Cheng left with the Southwest Army Dragon Shadow Guard.

"Let's go, too."

Lu Fan glanced at the people behind him and said with a smile: "Go home!" ”

"Yes."

Everyone agreed in unison.

It's been two months since I came out, and I can finally go back to my barracks and take a good rest.

"Drive!"

Everyone returned to their hearts like arrows, and galloped towards Zhennan Pass.

It didn't take long for them to reach the North Gate.

At this time, the city gate was wide open, and a group of people were waiting at the city gate, eager to penetrate.

The person at the front was none other than Zhao Fei.

Behind him are Xu Mingyang, Zhou Wanjun, Qin Huinan, Gu Changting, Xu Zhao, and other generals.

There are hundreds of people, standing on both sides of the road, looking forward to it.

"It's coming!"

Hearing the sound of horses' hooves in the distance, Zhao Fei's face showed joy.

"Drive!"

Lu Fan led the dragon shadow guards to approach quickly.

Zhao Fei led the generals to greet him.

"Lord Lu, it's hard work."

Zhao Fei bowed his hand to the dragon shadow guards, "You have all worked hard! ”

Lu Fan jumped off the horse, walked in front of Zhao Fei, and said politely: "How dare you bother Lord Zhao to greet him personally?" ”

"It should."

Zhao Fei smiled, "With your credit, I should do what I do." ”

After a few pleasantries, everyone got on their horses and entered the city.

At Zhao Fei's insistence, Lu Fan still walked in front with the dragon shadow guards.

Accept the cheers of the people.

Heroes triumph!

"Lu Fan!"

"Ye Wuchen!"

"Song Xiucheng!"

The people stood on both sides of the road, shouting the names of the Dragon Shadow Guards, their eyes full of kindness, pride and pride.

The Dragon Shadow Guard is their hero!

And their patron saint!

It's the person they want to be.

If one day, they can be cheered and loved by countless people like Long Yingwei, they will die without regrets!

……

……

Ten days passed in the blink of an eye.

July 25th, morning.

Lu Fan was meditating and cultivating in the living room, when he suddenly heard the sound of familiar footsteps, and he was a little surprised.

Su Mu?

It's been a long time.

Since Lu Fan became the commander of the Dragon Shadow Guard, Su Mu's attitude towards him has gradually changed.

A little more respect, even fear.

But it's a little less cordial.

Lu Fan knew that there was no way to do it, with the change in the strength and status of the two, the relationship between them could never go back to the past.

Even if Lu Fan's attitude towards Su Mu has never changed, there is an invisible wall between the two.

"Knock knock."

There was a knock on the door.

"Commander Lu, it's me, Su Mu."

"Come in."

"Yes."

Su Mu pushed the door in.

Lu Fan greeted him with a smile, "Sit down." ”

"Okay."

Su Mu sat down as he said.

"Didn't I tell you, just call me Lu Fan."

Lu Fan smiled: "I don't have such a big official frame. ”

"How's that going to work?"

Su Mu shook his head lightly, "After all, this is in the barracks, so it's not good for others to hear." ”

"It's okay, there's no outsider here."

Lu Fan smiled and said, "You still think of me as the same Lu Fan before." ”

Su Mu was silent.

His mind went back to the past, remembering the scene two years ago, when he and Lu Fan slept in the same dormitory.

At that time, his strength was not much different from Lu Fan, right?

How come it is that in just two years, Lu Fan has become an existence that he needs to look up to?

In terms of strength, he couldn't even see Lu Fan's shadow.

Especially after seeing Lu Fan's shot with his own eyes, Su Mu could deeply feel the gap between himself and Lu Fan.

It's too big!

It's literally one in the sky and one underground.

However, although Lu Fan's identity and strength have changed, his personality has not changed.

Still so sincere, low-key, and approachable.

Never on top.

This made Su Mu very pleased, and it was also what he admired Lu Fan the most.

Not only him, including Ye Wuchen, which Dragon Shadow Guard doesn't admire Lu Fan?

"Come, tea."

Lu Fan poured two cups of tea and handed one to Su Mu, "You came to me today, is there something wrong?" ”

"yes, I almost forgot about business."

Su Mu patted his head and had a smile on his face, "I went to Langui Street today and tasted the delicious foods that we used to eat one by one." ”

"It's still that smell, it's really nostalgic."

Su Mu remembered the days when he and Lu Fan went shopping on Langui Street in the past, and it should have been his happiest time.

The smile on his face can't be suppressed.

"yes."

Lu Fan felt the same way, "I haven't eaten for a long time." ”

"Why did I go somewhere else?"

Su Mu smiled and said, "That's the case, when I went to eat steamed buns, I met Tang Xuanwan, and she said that she had something important to tell you." ”

"Tang Xuanwan?"

Lu Fan remembered that girl with a very lively temperament.

"What did I ask her? She wouldn't tell me that she had to see you and tell you herself. ”

After a pause, Su Mu continued: "What if she really has something very important? I was afraid of delay, so I took her to the gate of the barracks, and if you wanted to see her, I would bring her in. ”

"Okay, you can bring her in."

Lu Fan remembered about the Bloody Clothes Gang, so it was better to take the opportunity to ask that little girl, did she really kill the people of the Bloody Clothes Gang?

Coming to him today, is it also related to the Bloody Clothes Gang?

"Okay."

Su Mu retired and left.

After a while, he led Tang Suiwan into the door.

Compared with two years ago, Tang Xuanwan has grown taller, and her appearance is still exquisite.

Fading away from immaturity, it is even more beautiful than before.

Especially those eyes, which are particularly smart.

Tang Xuanwan was also looking at Lu Fan, but she didn't speak, just stood in a daze.

"I'll go down first."

Su Mu broke the silence and left.

Lu Fan smiled and stretched out his hand to signal, "Sit down." ”

"Okay."

Tang Suiwan didn't twist, calmly came to Lu Fan's side, and sat down nearby.

"Tell me, what's the matter with me?"

Lu Fan could feel that there were spiritual power fluctuations on Tang Suiwan's body.

It seems that he guessed correctly, this little girl is really talented, and she can actually participate in cultivation by herself.

It's just self-taught.

"It's a long story."

Tang Xuanwan stretched out her hand and straightened her hair a little, and then said unhurriedly: "A few months ago, it was an afternoon, and three people from the Bloody Clothes Gang came to my store to eat steamed buns. ”

"After eating, they didn't give money, and my father didn't say anything, but still sent it with a smile."

"But one of them actually asked my father for money, and my father gave it."

"But the man didn't think he had much money, and he asked for ten taels of silver when he opened his mouth, and my father couldn't get it, so they beat my father."

"I couldn't get angry, I wanted to rush out and fight with them at that time, but then I thought about it and held back."

"If I had gone out at the time, I might have gotten into more trouble."

"But this breath, I absolutely want to come out."

"So, when they were gone, I quietly followed them."

"Watching them visit a few stores, they are all reaching out to ask for money, giving more, and they are insatiable."

"It wasn't until late at night that they returned to their lodgings."

Speaking of this, a ruthless intent appeared in Tang Suiwan's eyes, "When they fall asleep, I will sneak in, find their knives, and slaughter them all!" ”

"Sure enough, you did it."

Lu Fan was not surprised, he had already guessed it.

On the contrary, Tang Xuanwan was startled, and looked at Lu Fan in a daze, "You already knew?" ”

"yes."

Lu Fan nodded, "I heard that your father was injured, but that night, the people who injured your father died, and I immediately thought of you." ”

"But I don't know how to martial arts?"

Tang Qiuwan was still a little puzzled, "How did you think it was me?" ”

"Don't you want to realize it yourself?"

Lu Fan smiled: "You should be almost enlightened now, right?" ”

"Where?"

Tang Suiwan's face was slightly red, "I just know a little bit and practice blindly." ”

"Really?"

Lu Fan suddenly straightened his face, "You dare to admit that you killed people in front of me, so you are not afraid that I will arrest you?" ”

"Huh?"

Tang Qiuwan was stunned for a moment, and then smiled, "You won't." I know that you are a good person, and you are a great hero who stands up to the sky, how can you embarrass me for a few scoundrels? ”

"Besides, I've seen you deal with the Black Tiger Gang with my own eyes."

"Now that the Bloody Clothes are more than the Black Tiger Gang, how can you help such a bad guy?"

Tang Suiwan looked at Lu Fan's eyes and said, "I believe that you can uphold justice for us ordinary people." ”

"Oh?"

Lu Fan heard the meaning of Tang Xuanwan's words, "So, do you want me to eradicate the Bloody Clothes Gang?" ”

"Of course I want the Bloodcoats to be eradicated, but I don't dare ask you to do anything."

Tang Qiuwan shook her head lightly, "I came to you today for something else. ”

"What's the matter?"

Lu Fan was a little surprised.

"I originally thought that those three people were the little minions of the Bloody Clothes Gang, but after fighting, I found out that one of them was very strong, and it took me a lot of effort to kill him."

Tang Xuanwan said: "Later, when I inquired, I found out that that person was the deacon of the Bloody Clothes Gang, and he could be regarded as a big leader. ”

"Big boss?"

Lu Fan was stunned and said, "Then what is your strength?" ”

"My cultivation should be considered a sixth grade, right?"

Tang Suiwan was slightly embarrassed, "But my martial arts skills are a little worse, and I don't have much actual combat experience, so my real strength is definitely far worse than Liupin." ”

"The reason why I was able to kill the other party that day was because of my first hand, and he was stabbed by me in his sleep."

"Frightened and frightened, coupled with excessive blood loss, he didn't show his normal strength, otherwise, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to kill him so easily."

"In my estimation, he should have seven grades of cultivation."

"By the way, I almost forgot about business."

As she spoke, Tang Xuanwan suddenly took out a piece of paper and handed it to Lu Fan, "This is what I found on that person, you may be able to use it." ”

"Oh?"

Lu Fan took it and saw that it was a map, and it was the whole map of Zhennan Pass.

It is marked in detail with the streets of Zhennanguan, as well as each important location.

Including the various yamen in the city, the soldiers on patrol, the various sentry posts, and even the location of the granary and barracks, and so on.

are all marked in detail.
