Lu Fan had a cold iron spear in his left hand and a Kunwu knife in his right hand, and his body fell rapidly from a high altitude.

Along with him, there were ice flowers in the sky.

One after another, covering the sky and the sun.

It's like a heavy snowfall, overwhelming.

The chill hit the bone, and even the Chu soldiers on the city wall felt shivering.

A thin layer of ice instantly formed on the moat.

When Lu Fan was about to land, countless starlights suddenly lit up behind him and fell down with him.

Like the galaxy toppling, the Milky Way pouring down.

Countless stars have fallen into the mortal world.

The Chu soldiers on the city wall all looked at the scene in front of them in a daze, only to feel frightened and trembling.

At this moment, in their eyes, Lu Fan was like a god, which made them feel awe.

They even had an impulse to kneel down and worship Lu Fan.

Even the bone-chilling chill was left behind by them, and they just looked at Lu Fan blankly.

Yun Xuan's expression at this time was unprecedentedly dignified, and he could feel the power of this combination of swords and guns.

Before he had time to think about it, he swung his sword and slashed continuously.

Flames followed.

The flames rose into the sky.

Yun Xuan had to use all his strength, and even used the Heaven Rank Sword Technique, the Red Flame Sword Technique.

This set of swordsmanship has its own fire attribute, which can just restrain Lu Fan's marksmanship.

"Boom!"

Ice and fire met and erupted in a continuous roar.

Lu Fan, along with the starlight behind him, smashed at Yun Xuan fiercely.

"Boom!"

With an earth-shattering bang, Lu Fan was instantly bounced away, and his body soared into the sky, shuttling through the clouds.

The snow melted and turned into a mist in the sky, gargling and falling.

It was like a drizzle.

The flames of the sky were gone, but the smoke was still filling.

"Bang!"

Yun Xuan was also ejected and slammed into the city wall with a loud bang.

The whole wall was shaking.

"Ahh

The Chu soldiers on the city wall turned pale with fright, and their hearts beat wildly.

Only by witnessing it with their own eyes could they truly feel the power of the innate Eight Realm powerhouses.

It's scary.

Yun Xuan's face was slightly red at this moment, and his qi and blood were surging.

I almost got hurt.

There was a faint uneasiness in his heart.

In the competition just now, he used ten percent of his strength, but he only had a slight advantage.

However, the cost of this sword to him was enormous.

If he did it a few more times, he would not only be injured, but he would also consume too much spiritual power.

This is also the reason why he does not use the Red Flame Sword Technique easily.

With Lu Fan's power just now, he couldn't use the Red Flame Sword Technique, otherwise, he wouldn't be able to stop Lu Fan at all.

In this way, he was in a dilemma.

This little guy is so tough.

Yun Xuan was thinking about it, when he suddenly heard an exclamation, he looked up, and saw Lu Fan falling from the sky again.

With a gun in his left hand and a knife in his right, there were ice flowers in the sky.

It's exactly the same as last time.

Again?

Yun Xuan gritted his teeth, his body rose into the air, and rushed towards Lu Fan.

In the air, the sword in his hand slashed out continuously, and the flames rose into the sky.

The next moment, the two had collided together.

"Boom!"

Continuous boom.

Lu Fan was bounced high.

Yun Xuan slammed it to the ground.

"Bang!"

He fell to the ground so hard that a mouthful of blood almost spurted out.

Since he became famous, he has never been more embarrassed than he is today.

Especially in full view.

Yun Xuan was thinking about it, only to see Lu Fan fall from the sky again.

His heart was even heavier, especially after feeling the power of the other party, he was stunned to find that Lu Fan didn't seem to be affected at all.

And he was more or less affected.

Whether it's mood or strength.

Quickly getting up, Yun Xuan's body took off again, and the sword in his hand quickly slashed out.

Clusters of flames then appeared, sweeping towards Lu Fan above.

It seemed that the power was undiminished, but Yun Xuan knew that the power of his sword was no longer comparable to the previous sword, let alone the first sword.

In other words, with the consumption of his spiritual power and the blockage of qi and blood, his strength is declining little by little.

But Lu Fan didn't change anything.

After a long time, the strength of the two will be reversed.

Looks like there was some trouble today.

Yun Xuan thought that this day would come, but he didn't expect it to come so quickly.

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

Lu Fan and Yun Xuan continued to fight hard, and the roar continued.

The heavens and the earth were filled with water vapor, accompanied by puffs of smoke.

Ice and fire flakes flew everywhere, accidentally flying onto the city wall, causing a burst of screams.

After dozens of moves.

Yun Xuan quickly got up from the ground, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and sighed secretly in his heart, he couldn't hold it anymore!

He has already been injured, and if he continues to fight, he is afraid that he will be planted here.

I did my best!

Then stop it.

He didn't want to die here.

Having finally cultivated to this point, how could he die so easily?

Xiu Xian asked was the way he was going.

Thinking of this, he didn't stay any longer, and before Lu Fan fell, he disappeared quickly.

"Huh?"

Seeing this scene, the Chu soldiers on the city wall were stunned, they never expected that Yun Xuan would run away without saying a word?

Scared away by Lu Fan?

How can it be?

That's the patron saint of Da Chu!

He was admired by countless Chu people, and even the royal family respected him.

Now he has lost to Lu Fan?

How strong is Lu Fan?

The soldiers of the Chu State were stunned, and it took a long time to come back to their senses, and they immediately panicked.

As soon as Yun Xuan ran, how could Jin Yucheng be able to hold it?

After all, they had seen Lu Fan's strength with their own eyes, and even Yun Xuan was defeated, how could they stop it?

At this time, Lu Fan was in the air.

When he fell, he happened to see Yun Xuan's disappearing back.

Well?

Ran away?

Lu Fan was also a little surprised, thinking that it was really a pity for his life, he was slightly injured, and he ran away.

But that's fine, it saves him a lot of work.

Otherwise, even if Yun Xuan was injured, it would take a lot of time for him to win against this person.

Anyway, his goal is to take the Golden Jade City.

As for Yun Xuan, as long as he wants, he will have the opportunity to clean up this person in the future.

Now it's still important to get down to business.

Lu Fan quickly descended and flew in the direction of Golden Jade City.

When he was about to fly to the gate of the city, Kunwu had already slashed out.

"Bang!"

Several ropes were cut and the drawbridge fell with a bang, landing right on the surface of the river, forming a wooden bridge several meters wide.

Lu Fan swung his knife again and slashed towards the city gate.

"Boom!"

With a loud bang, the gates collapsed.

There was a thunderous sound of horses' hooves in the distance, and Ye Wuchen rushed to the front.

The cavalry of the Great Zhou Dynasty was almost all dispatched and rushed straight towards Jinyu City.

The Chu soldiers on the city wall were even more panicked, and their morale was completely lost.

After Lu Fan landed, his wrist shook slightly, and a cloud of ice mist floated out.

Soon floated over the moat.

"Click, click."

As the ice fog spread, the surface of the river was frozen instantly.

Lu Fan did not rush into the city in a hurry, but continued to use the Xuanbing Marksmanship in order to make the ice thicker.

So that the Great Zhou cavalry can rush through quickly.

The Chu soldiers on the city wall reacted and began to shoot arrows at Lu Fan.

Lu Fan stood in place, didn't dodge, and let the sharp arrows fall like rain.

"Bang bang bang!"

The arrows fell on the ground, on the wooden bridge, and even on the ice, but none of them could land on Lu Fan.

The morale of the Chu soldiers fell to the bottom, and they were even a little overwhelmed.

They had nothing to do with Lu Fan.

Lu Fan put away the gun and glanced in the direction where the Great Zhou army was, only to see thousands of horses galloping, sweeping like a tide.

It was less than two miles away from him.

Almost.

Lu Fan suddenly moved, and quickly passed through the city gate and entered the Golden Jade City.

"Kill!"

Shouts of killing rang out.

Powerful sword intent crisscrossed and weaved into a huge net, falling towards the top of his head.

This is a battle formation composed of the elite of the Chu army, and then make the last fight.

Lu Fan did not dodge, but swords and guns came out together.

The ice and mist in the sky spread out with the starlight.

Exploded almost at the same time.

"Boom!"

Blood splattered and corpses littered the field.

Screams and wails were all in one.

It's like hell on earth.

Lu Fan rushed into the crowd, like a killing god descending, constantly harvesting life.

The Chu soldiers fell in pieces.

Not long after, Ye Wuchen rushed into the city first, his sword fell, and more than a dozen Chu soldiers died instantly.

Gu Cheng, Liu Feng, Xu Mingyang and others followed closely behind and launched a rush to kill in Jinyu City.

The Chu soldiers had already collapsed and fled in all directions.

Seeing that the victory was decided, Lu Fan no longer pursued and killed the Chu soldiers, but approached the palace.

He had already grasped the location of the palace in advance, and quickly found the north gate of the palace without anyone to guide him.

At this time, the palace gate was closed, and there were not even soldiers guarding the door.

Lu Fan took out the Kunwu knife and slashed it out, and the palace gate fell in response.

Stepping on the broken palace gate, Lu Fan entered the palace.

On the way, there was no one.

All gone?

Lu Fan was surprised, he sped up and kept shuttling around the palace, but he still couldn't see anyone.

It wasn't until he came to the largest palace that he found a young man in a yellow robe standing in front of the palace with his hands behind his back, looking calm.

The boy looked to be only eleven or twelve years old, not tall, slightly thin, and his face was a little immature.

But those eyes were extremely bright, even if they looked at Lu Fan, they were not timid.

The yellow robe on his body was embroidered with a five-clawed golden dragon.

This is a dragon robe?

Lu Fan was even more surprised, looked at the young man carefully, and asked, "Who are you?" ”

"I am the emperor of the Great Chu State, Chu Li."

The young man nodded slightly at Lu Fan, his eyes were full of kindness, "Dare to ask the general, but Lu Fan?" ”

"It's me."

Lu Fan was a little puzzled, "You are the emperor of Chu?" What about Chu Xuan? ”

"As early as a few days ago, the Emperor Taishang passed the throne to me."

Chu Li sighed: "Now the Emperor Taishang has long disappeared. ”

"Ran away?"

Lu Fan couldn't have imagined that the Emperor of Chu State would run away, and he had run away a few days ago.

Only one scapegoat remains.

"Do you know where he went?"

"I don't know."

Chu Li shook his head lightly, "I only know that they went to sea by boat, as for where they went, I really don't know." ”

"Out to sea?"

Lu Fan was shocked, it seemed that the other party had already prepared, since he had gone to sea by boat, even if he wanted to chase it, he couldn't catch up.

After all, the sea is vast, and there is no trace of it.

"What is your relationship with Chu Xuan? Why didn't he take you away? ”

"He's my uncle."

Chu Li sighed lightly and said: "It's because I don't want to leave, when my uncle was choosing someone to inherit the throne, no one dared to stay and sit in this position, but I dare!" ”

"Oh?"

Lu Fan was quite puzzled, "Why?" You're not afraid that I'll kill you. ”

"Of course I'm afraid."

Chu Li's eyes shone brightly, "But I need this opportunity, I don't want to be an idle prince who does nothing, I want to be an emperor!" ”

"It's worth the risk."

Speaking of this, Chu Li glanced at Lu Fan, "What's more, I believe you won't kill me." ”

"Really?"

Lu Fan felt a little funny when he saw the other party's young and mature appearance, "Even if I don't kill you, I will bring you back to Da Zhou, from now on, you can only be in my Da Zhou capital, and you can't go anywhere." ”

"Please also ask General Lu to save me."

Chu Li suddenly lowered his head with a pleading face, "From now on, I am willing to serve General Lu." ”

"You're working for me?"

Lu Fan was stunned for a moment, then shook his head, "No need." ”

"General."

Chu Li said: "As long as you keep me in the Chu State, although I am nominally the emperor of the Chu State in the future, in fact, the Chu State is yours, as long as you say a word, I can do anything for you." ”

"Even if you don't need to, it's good to leave a way out."

"In case you can't stay in Da Zhou one day, you can come to me, and I will do everything I can to help you."

"When the time comes, my throne will be yours."

As he spoke, Chu Li bowed his head slightly, "Please also ask General Lu to give me this opportunity." ”

"Oh?"

Lu Fan thought about it seriously.

The throne of Chu is not uncommon for him, but it is not impossible to leave a way back.

What's more, with the troops he has in his hands now, he can't completely control the Chu State at all, and he already needs to support a puppet emperor.

This young man named Chu Li can give it a try.

It just so happens that Chu Li is young, and his identity is also suitable.

The most important thing is that Chu Li is Chu Xuan's nephew, not his son, and Chu Xuan may not be of the same mind.

Better control.

However, Lu Fan didn't immediately agree, but asked, "What about the other people in the palace?" Why are you the only ones left? ”

"Most of them ran away."

Chu Li said truthfully: "The rest have been dismissed by me, but don't worry, if I am safe and sound, I will call people back again, and the state of Chu will still be in my hands." ”

"Have you ever wondered how you will deal with Chu Xuan if he comes back?"

Lu Fan looked at Chu Li and asked, "Will you give up the throne again?" ”

"Impossible."

Chu Li looked resolute, "I finally sat in this position, how could I easily give it up?" Whoever comes, except for you, the general, will not give way unless he kills me. ”

At this moment, the sound of horses' hooves sounded.

Ye Wuchen, Gu Cheng, Liu Feng, Xu Mingyang and others entered the palace on horseback.

Seeing Lu Fan from afar, everyone dismounted and walked towards Lu Fan together.

"Lord Lu, the Chu army has been defeated and withdrawn from the city, and Jinyu City is completely controlled by our army."

Gu Cheng said: "Shall we go out of the city to pursue?" ”

"No need."

Lu Fan thought for a while and said, "Clear the Chu army in the city, let the soldiers settle down as soon as possible, and prepare to take over all the belongings of Jinyu City." ”

"Yes."

Gu Cheng took the order and left.

"Lord Xu."

Lu Fan turned his gaze to Xu Mingyang, "You take people to search the palace, don't kill people, leave a living mouth, and bring them here." ”

"Yes."

Xu Mingyang also turned to leave.

The rest of the people all looked at Chu Li carefully, with doubts on their faces.

"This is the new emperor of the Chu State, Chu Li."

Lu Fan told Chu Xuan about his escape, and then asked for everyone's opinions, "You say, what should I do with him?" ”

"It's better to kill something."

Zhou Wanjun said: "Just let the Chu State be in chaos, and there will be no way to threaten our Great Zhou in the future." ”

"Or bring it back to Da Zhou."

Zhao Jin answered: "Imprisoned, you must not leave from now on." ”

"That's right."

Sui Meng agreed, "Just let our enemies see the end of being hostile to our Great Zhou!" ”

"In my opinion, it is better to keep him."

Qin Huinan had a different opinion, "As long as he is willing to agree to listen to us, from now on he will be a vassal to my Great Zhou, pay the annual tribute, and agree to our previous conditions, which is much better than killing him." ”

"That's true."

Gu Changting echoed: "We still have to go back to the capital of Great Zhou, there is no way to stay in the Chu State for too long, and we can't completely control the Chu State, let alone take away a lot of property, so it's better to let him do this." ”

As he spoke, Gu Changting pointed at Chu Li, "We only need to control him alone, as long as he listens to us, there is naturally no need to kill him, and there is no need to take him away." ”

"That's very good."

"Judging from the current situation, this is the best for us."

Liu Feng and Ye Wuchen also nodded in agreement.

"That's good."

Hearing everyone's opinions, Lu Fan became more firm in his thoughts and turned his gaze to Chu Li, "Do you know the conditions I proposed to Chu State before?" ”

"I know."

Chu Li nodded and said, "300 million taels of silver, 100,000 war horses, and 50,000 cattle and sheep." ”

"100,000 stone of grain."

"Fifty cities."

"I, the State of Chu, are vassals to you and pay annual tribute every year."

"During the Great Zhou War, my Chu State will cooperate with you to send troops, no less than 50,000 elites."

After a pause, Chu Li continued: "I can promise you all this. ”

"I am willing to be a vassal to the Great Zhou, and from now on, my Chu State will be a vassal state of the Great Zhou."

"It's just that Chu Zhaonan has already left the Chu State, and he does the matter of proton, even if I want to promise you, I can't do it."

Chu Li sighed: "Not only Chu Zhaonan, but the other princes and princesses have already left the Chu State and are missing. ”

"Hmm."

Lu Fan nodded, "It's okay to do this, you don't have to count." ”

"As for the Heavenly Rank Exercises, I really can't take them out."

Chu Li said: "As far as I know, when Chu Zhaonan left, he took all the high-level exercises away, and he didn't keep a single one. ”

"Well...... this"

Lu Fan also thought about it, Chu Li is now alone, how can he get the Heavenly Rank Exercises?

Even if he forced the other party to death, it would be useless.

I was disappointed, but I couldn't help it.

He didn't have time to find Chu Zhaonan now, so he could only save it for later.

"Don't worry, I can promise you now."

Chu Li glanced at Lu Fan, "No matter how difficult it is, I will try my best to find two Heavenly Rank Exercises to express my sincerity." ”

"Well, I believe you."

Lu Fan also figured it out, no matter whether Chu Li could do it or not, it was always a hope.

After all, Chu Li is the emperor of Chu State, and his status is extraordinary, if he really wants to help Lu Fan, it is really possible to do it.

"Then so be it, you still be your emperor of Chu, and according to the conditions I offered, within two years, the compensation will be sent to Da Zhou."

"The first batch will be sent to Zhennanguan first."

"Delivered within two months."

"As for the fifty cities, I will send someone to take them."

"The most urgent thing for you to do is to first announce to the world, declare yourself a vassal to my Great Zhou, and recognize that as a vassal state of my Great Zhou, pay an annual tribute to my Great Zhou every year."

"Then it is to clean up the situation as soon as possible, recall the people around you, appease the people, rebuild the court, etc., a series of things are waiting for you to do."

Speaking of this, Lu Fan glanced at Chu Li, "Do you need me to send someone to help you?" ”

"Thank you, General Lu!"

Chu Li was overjoyed, and his hanging heart was put down.

With Lu Fan's support, from now on, he will be a veritable emperor of Chu.

Years of wishing have finally come true.

Although the process was somewhat humiliating, he was not afraid.

He believed in himself and made the right choice.

Only by surviving first can we have a chance to regain the glory of Da Chu.

Compared to the great deeds ahead, the humiliation of the present is nothing at all.

From the day he made his choice, he knew what he was calling.

In the future, he will definitely revitalize Da Chu!

He is convinced of this.

Now that the first step has been reached, the follow-up will definitely be realized in accordance with his plan.

……

……

At night.

Jinyucheng, the original military camp of the Chu State, has now been occupied by the Great Zhou army.

In the Commander's Mansion, Lu Fan and the others sat around a table, each looking excited.

The table was full of wine and food, and the glasses in front of everyone were full.

They hadn't eaten such a hearty meal in a long time.

Be sure to eat a big meal today.

Of course, the main purpose is to celebrate.

After this battle, the threat of Chu was completely lifted.

The situation in the South as a whole is very good.

They no longer have any worries, and they can rest assured that they can go north to support the capital.

"General Lu, I toast you."

Gu Cheng took the lead in getting up, facing Lu Fan, with deep feelings, "With only 100,000 troops, we fought one battle after another, defeated the Chu army, and even took the Golden Jade City in one fell swoop today." ”

"It's all the general's work."

"It's a blessing for us to be able to charge behind the general and witness all of this with our own eyes."

"I won't say anything more, I'll do it first as respect."

After speaking, Gu Cheng drank all the wine in the cup.

"Commander Gu is polite."

Lu Fan also accompanied him to make a glass of wine, and then looked at everyone, only to see that everyone got up one after another to toast him.

"Everyone, wait."

He stretched out his hand to stop everyone, "Don't toast me alone, let's go together." ”

"Okay."

And they all got up.

Lu Fan poured himself a full glass of wine and said with a smile: "This glass of wine, I respect all the generals, if it were not for your great help and the bloody struggle of all the soldiers, it would never be possible for Jinyucheng to be won so smoothly." ”

"I have written down the merits of all the generals."

"When I return to Beijing, I will definitely report to the emperor in person and ask for credit for the generals."

As he spoke, Lu Fan picked up his wine glass, "Come, let's make this drink together and get ready for the next battle!" ”

"Good!"

Everyone toasted together, and they were all quite excited.

At the same time, I admired Lu Fan even more.

made such a contribution, but he was never proud of his credit, let alone took the initiative to take credit.

Still humble.

With such a heart and spirit, how can they not be convinced?

Follow such people to charge, they are willing to die!

It is conceivable that in the future, Lu Fan will definitely lead them to sweep through the countries and dominate the world.

It's exciting to think about.

This life is worth it, and it is not in vain!
