Lu Fan rushed out of the West City Gate, only to see the strong men of the Great Zhou and Xia Kingdoms starting a big battle outside the city.

There were more than a dozen people on each side, not only were the number of strong people equal, but even the strength was almost the same.

Compared with the other two city gates, the west city gate is the place where the strong men of the Great Zhou Dynasty focus on prevention.

Coupled with the fact that Li Yunting came to support in time, the number of strong people in the Great Zhou did not suffer at all.

Even a slight advantage.

The one who fought against Li Yunting was an old man.

Both of them use swords and are equal in strength.

Lu Fan shot an arrow from afar and shot at the old man.

"Woohoo!"

Three arrows were shot in a row, Lu Fan put away the Cloud Piercing Bow, took off the cold iron spear, and his body rose into the air, followed by the three arrows, and flew towards the old man.

Capture the thief and capture the king first.

If you want to kill, kill the strongest.

can be equal to Li Yunting's strength, and it is obvious that he is also an innate Eight Realm cultivator.

Hearing the sound of breaking the air, the old man's heart sank, and he tried to dodge the arrow, but he was shocked to find that he couldn't dodge.

In desperation, he could only swing his sword and slash continuously.

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

Three arrows were smashed in succession.

Before he could catch his breath, Li Yunting's sword arrived again.

He could only barely swing his sword.

"Boom!"

With a loud bang, the violent force impacted, and he flew out upside down in an instant.

At the same time, there was a feeling of boredom in the chest.

He knew that just now, he had cut a few arrows in a row, coupled with a hard fight with Li Yunting, so he didn't have time to breathe at all.

Not only was it very depleted, but it also suffered a little internal injury.

What made him feel even more palpitations was the appearance of Lu Fan.

Just from what Lu Fan was wearing, he could guess who the other party was.

But he didn't expect that Lu Fan's strength could be so strong.

His body was in the air, and he hadn't stabilized his body yet, but he saw Lu Fan rushing towards him, and the black iron spear stabbed straight at him.

It doesn't seem fast, but it's coming in a flash.

With all his might, he slashed out a sword.

With a bang, the sword slashed at the black barrel, but it didn't delay for a moment.

Instead, he was impacted by a huge force, and the long sword came out of his hand.

"Poof!"

The black spear pierced through the heart, and blood spilled in the air.

Then he fell heavily to the ground.

Seeing this scene, the remaining Xia Kingdom powerhouses no longer dared to fight and fled in all directions.

Lu Fan put away the cold iron gun and chased after him.

"Chase!"

Li Yunting followed, and came to the enemy camp one by one, and waved the long sword in his hand lightly.

Hundreds of enemy soldiers were killed in an instant.

Other Great Zhou powerhouses followed suit, and while chasing the enemy, they kept harvesting lives.

The enemy army is in disarray.

After a short time, the strong men who came from the north gate also joined the battle.

"Boom!"

The thunderous sound of horses' hooves sounded.

Tens of thousands of Great Zhou cavalry poured out of the West City Gate and rushed towards the enemy.

The defeat was like a mountain.

The enemy soldiers were so desperate that they didn't even dare to turn back, let alone fight back.

The Wei army fled on the way.

"Report!"

The herald came to Wei Lingtian, "General Wei, there is an ambush of the Great Zhou army ahead, and our side has suffered heavy casualties. ”

"What?"

Wei Lingtian was shocked, he couldn't have imagined that there was an ambush of the Great Zhou in front of him, and the Great Wei army, which had already suffered heavy losses, suffered a heavy blow again.

Before he had time to think about it, he shouted loudly: "Pass my order, let the Tiger Guard Battalion contain the Great Zhou Army, and the other teams will pass as quickly as possible." ”

"Yes."

The herald took the order and departed.

At this time, Lu Fan killed several Xia Kingdom powerhouses in a row, and came all the way to the North City Gate, but Liu Qingyang and Xuanji Daoren had long been gone.

He chased forward for a while and caught up with the Great Zhou cavalry.

Lu Fan simply followed the army to chase and kill.

Hurrying to the front of the group, he found a war horse, flew on it, and charged to the front.

"Kill!"

The battle lasted until the afternoon, when the Great Zhou army pursued and killed hundreds of miles before Ming Jin withdrew his troops.

Corpses are strewn all over the field, and rivers of blood are flowing!

The enemy soldiers killed were terrified and embarrassed.

Towards evening, the Great Zhou army returned to the capital.

Under the humility of everyone, Lu Fan rode a horse and walked in the front.

Ten miles away from the north city gate, he saw the crowd of black oppression.

The people of the capital, with excitement at this moment, went out of the city to greet the triumphant heroes.

Ten miles outside the city, it continues into the city.

The road was lined with people.

There are men, women and children.

"It's Lu Fan!"

"General Lu!"

The people recognized Lu Fan and beckoned to him from afar.

"Thanks to General Lu, the capital can be held."

"Why not the capital? If there was no General Lu, the entire Great Zhou would be over. ”

"Yes, it can be said that General Lu saved Da Zhou and us by himself."

"He is the patron saint of our Great Zhou!"

People talked a lot and praised Lu Fan.

The old people, hearing these words, all felt a little familiar.

When Lu Fan approached and saw that face, he felt even more familiar.

It's just that the young man in front of him is General Lu.

And the boy many years ago was General Wei.

This situation and this scene gradually coincide with the memories of many years ago.

The two black-armored teenagers, no matter their appearance, figure, and temperament, are somewhat similar.

Even the faint sadness in his eyes was exactly the same.

Why not laugh?

Shouldn't you be happy if you have won a big battle?

Listening to the cheers in his ears, after the battle, Lu Fan completely relaxed.

He suddenly felt a little tired in his heart.

Tired.

The heart is tired.

In the past year, he has killed countless enemies in countless battles in a row.

But at the same time, there are countless comrades lost.

How could he be so happy?

The war was not what he wanted, and the reason why he made a move was because he was forced to do it.

He had enough of this life a long time ago, and he never wanted to participate in any war again.

Fortunately, everything is in the past.

From now on, no foreign enemy will dare to invade the Great Zhou again, and the people will finally be able to live a few days of peace.

And he can also cultivate with peace of mind.

By the way, think about what to do next.

Lu Fan thought about walking as he could, and soon saw the north city gate, only to see a group of people waiting at the city gate.

With his eyesight, he could clearly see the two people in front of him, Liu Zeming and Lin Fuzhou.

Both were followed by a group of people.

Behind Liu Zeming are the patriarchs of the major families, while behind Lin Fuzhou are high-ranking officials of the imperial court.

These two people represent the strongest forces of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the imperial court and the family.

Seeing Lu Fan approaching, Liu Zeming and Lin Fuzhou came out with everyone behind them.

"General Lu, hard work!"

"Thanks to General Lu's courage and invincibility, he turned the tide of the battle and turned defeat into victory."

"Such a feat, shaking the past and the present!"

"It is worthy of being my Great Zhou God of War."

"Now he is the patron saint of my Great Zhou!"

Everyone stepped forward one after another, bowed to Lu Fan, and praised him with great praise.

"Don't torture me."

Lu Fan hurriedly dismounted, hugged his fists and saluted back, "The victory in this battle is not only the credit of me, but also the credit of the soldiers of the Great Zhou, and the credit of all of you, and all the people of our Great Zhou, is the credit of everyone." ”

"Well said!"

Liu Zeming praised: "General Lu is really open-minded, extraordinary, and has made great achievements, but he is not proud of his achievements. ”

"yes."

"General Lu is too humble."

"I'm ashamed of myself."

Everyone agreed.

"General Lu, please get on the horse."

Lin Fuzhou reminded on the side: "The emperor is waiting to see you." ”

"Okay."

Lu Fan nodded slightly, turned over and got on the horse.

Everyone consciously moved out of the way, and Lu Fan clasped his fists at everyone, "Everyone, let's talk another day." ”

"General Lu, please."

The crowd returned the salute.

Lu Fan was the first to enter the city, followed by Han Chu and the others.

Behind them are the dragon shadow guards, as well as the elite cavalry.

The city is even more lively, and the streets are lined with people standing in the middle of the road to welcome them.

"Lu Fan!"

"General Lu!"

The cheers rang out.

Lu Fan looked around at everyone and saw the smiles on people's faces, and suddenly felt emotional.

The dead are gone, but there is hope for the living.

No matter how big the pain is, let it pass, and still look forward.

There is no mountain that cannot be climbed, and there is no hurdle that cannot be overcome.

It is impossible for people to be unlucky for a lifetime, there will always be a good time.

Lu Fan entered the inner city from the outer city, and then entered the imperial city from the inner city, and along the way, he never broke anyone.

From the civil and military officials to the common people of Limin, almost all of them came out of their homes, just to welcome Lu Fan and the soldiers of the Great Zhou.

Heroes triumph, thousands of empty alleys!

The warm atmosphere can melt people's hearts in an instant.

The procession that entered the city through the various gates converged at the Imperial City and continued on their way towards the Imperial Palace.

Han Chu, Li Cheng'an, Li Yongtai, Ye Wuchen, Gu Cheng, Liu Feng, Xu Mingyang, Zhou Wanjun, Qin Huinan, Gu Changting, Sui Meng, Zhao Jin, Yan Qing, Zhu Jingtian, Mu Yan, Lin Yao, Qin Yu, Meng Ran, Cao Ning, Song Yu, Su Mu, etc., all the soldiers followed behind Lu Fan, and they were all a little excited at this time.

Finally got through it!

After this battle, the Great Zhou will be able to be peaceful for at least a few decades.

And they can also be added to the ranks, and the future is limitless.

It's all because of Lu Fan.

Everyone knew very well in their hearts that if it weren't for Lu Fan, they might have died on the battlefield a long time ago, how could they have the opportunity to accept people's cheers like today?

The entire Great Zhou Dynasty, including them, should be grateful to Lu Fan.

Lu Fan is still at the forefront alone.

Even Han Chu, the commander of the Imperial Forest Army, did not dare to be in parallel with Lu Fan.

Others didn't dare.

After several battles in a row, the soldiers of the Great Zhou Dynasty were convinced by Lu Fan.

Under the leadership of Lu Fan, all the soldiers came to the north gate of the palace and the Shenwu Gate.

Lin Zhengbei was guarding in front of the door.

"The emperor has arrived!"

With a shout, the four little eunuchs walked out of the palace with the emperor's coffin, and Li Tianrun sat on the emperor's coffin, looking calm, but in fact he was excited in his heart.

Win!

Finally won!

Lu Fan, Lu Fan, you are really a veritable god of the Great Zhou Army!

Desperate situations can turn you over, is there anything you can't do in this world?

Seeing Li Tianrun, Lu Fan and the others hurriedly dismounted and saluted Li Tianrun from a distance.

"See Your Majesty."

The emperor fell to the ground, Li Tianrun walked a few steps quickly, came to Lu Fan, and helped him, "General Lu doesn't have to be polite!" ”

Then he looked at the generals, "Generals, please excuse me." ”

"Yes."

The congregation will rise.

"General Lu, follow me to the Heart Cultivation Palace, I have something to tell you."

Li Tianrun said and glanced at Lin Zhengbei, "General Lin, you take all the generals down to rest and wait for my summons." ”

"Yes."

Lin Zhengbei retired with the generals.

Lu Fan followed Li Tianrun into the palace and came all the way to the Heart Cultivation Palace.

The two entered the main hall, and Li Tianrun smiled and signaled, "General Lu, please take a seat." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

After sitting down, the maid came in and served tea.

Li Tianrun waved everyone away, and only the two of them were left in the huge palace.

"General Lu, you are the greatest hero of my Great Zhou, and I will not treat you badly."

Li Tianrun said with a smile: "It's too late today, it's too late, and there will be a reward delivered to your house tomorrow." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Lu Fan said a few polite words.

After a while, the palace maids came in with wine and food.

Soon the wine table was filled.

"General Lu, please take a seat."

Li Tianrun got up with a smile, "Today I want to personally celebrate your achievements." ”

Lu Fan said a few more polite words, but he couldn't refuse, so he had to sit down.

"Someone!"

Li Tianrun gave an order, and more than a dozen palace maids came in, singing and dancing in front of the two.

There were also several palace maids waiting on the side.

"With General Lu's merits, I can't do anything too much, and today I just show a little gratitude."

Li Tianrun picked up the wine glass and said with a smile: "I respect you." ”

"It's better for the ministers to pay tribute to the emperor."

Lu Fan hurriedly raised his glass, "My little credit is really nothing." ”

"I know you're humble."

Li Tianrun waved his hand, "But today, I'm celebrating for you, so don't be polite to me, come on, have a drink first." ”

"Yes."

Lu Fan clinked glasses with Li Tianrun and drank all the wine in the cup.

The two ate a few bites of food and chatted a few words.

"General Lu, I'll toast you a second glass of wine."

Li Tianrun raised his glass again and sighed: "After this battle, a century-old foundation has been laid for my Great Zhou, and General Lu should be the first to take the lead!" ”

"The emperor has won the award."

Lu Fan raised a glass with him, "I salute Your Majesty." ”

The two quickly finished their second glass of wine and ate a few more bites of food.

"General Lu, this third cup of wine, I respect you as a hero, unparalleled in the world."

Li Tianrun picked up his wine glass and said with a smile: "I have never seen a hero like you!" ”

"The minister doesn't dare to be."

Lu Fan actually doesn't like this kind of banquet very much.

The higher Li Tianrun's praise for him, the more he couldn't sit still.

The merit is high and the lord is accompanied by the king.

He understands all these truths.

After this battle, his popularity reached its peak.

It will arouse suspicion.

The higher you hold it, the harder you fall.

Who knows if Li Tianrun will have other ideas in his heart?

Although Lu Fan's current strength is not afraid, he does not want to have an estrangement between him and Li Tianrun one day in the future, so that they will be suspicious of each other.

After all, the peace of the Great Zhou is now won by Lu Fan, and he doesn't want him to destroy it in the future.

So what has become of him?

Therefore, he will try to keep a low profile as much as possible and not get involved in right and wrong.

It will not involve the struggle of any forces.

He is who he is.

Now he doesn't need to be attached to any power, he just does what he wants.

Of course, if anyone dares to have ulterior motives, or even use him in the future, he will not hesitate to fight back.

It doesn't matter who it is!

When it's time to keep a low profile, he naturally keeps a low profile.

But when it's time to show his edge, he also shows his fangs unabashedly.

If people don't offend me, I don't offend anyone.

If anyone sins against me, I will punish him.

Lu Fan now has the confidence to say this.

……

……

After eating and drinking, Li Tianrun left Lu Fan behind, and the two talked for a long time before he was allowed to leave.

Before returning to the Lu Mansion, Lu Fan heard the noise inside from a distance.

The voice was strangely familiar and intimate.

These guys, uninvited.

Lu Fan shook his head and smiled, very relieved in his heart.

He prefers to get together with these people than with the emperor's banquet.

That's where you feel.

There was a young girl standing in front of the Lu Mansion, looking left and right, looking slightly anxious.

Seeing Lu Fan approaching, her eyes lit up.

Although it was dark now, she still recognized Lu Fan at a glance, trotted to meet him, and said with a smile: "Childe, you can be counted as back." ”

"Zhiqing?"

Lu Fan looked at the familiar smiling face and felt emotional, "You are waiting for me here?" ”

"yes."

There was light in Zhiqing's eyes, and the smile on her face was very sweet, "Childe, I know you will come back no matter how late you are." ”

"Let's go, go home."

A burst of warmth welled up in Lu Fan's heart.

"Hey!"

Zhiqing agreed, followed behind Lu Fan, and entered the Lu Mansion.

"Childe is back."

When the maids heard the voice, they came out of the house one after another and gathered around Lu Fan.

Surrounded by everyone, Lu Fan entered the house and stopped to look at everyone, "Okay, you all go and get busy." ”

"Yes."

The crowd dispersed.

Zhiqing didn't leave, he accompanied Lu Fan to the dining room, only to see that a banquet had already been set up inside, and he was drinking lively.

Seeing Lu Fan come in, everyone got up together and bowed their hands to him, "General Lu, come on, let's have a few drinks together." ”

Lu Fan's gaze swept over everyone's faces in turn, and the familiar faces looked so kind.

Ye Wuchen, Qin Yu, Cao Ning, Meng Ran, and Song Yu are all here.

Even Su Mu came.

There are also Xu Bin, Yang Cheng, Pei Jun, Zhou Tong, Luo Rui, Gu Xiao, Luo Xing.

Those acquaintances in the Dragon Shadow Guard of the Zhennan Army are all here.

They have fought countless times together, and are both comrades in arms and brothers.

"Don't call me General Lu."

Lu Fan smiled: "There is no General Lu today, only Lu Fan." ”

"Good!"

Everyone was overjoyed, they all heard the meaning of Lu Fan's words, there is no position today, only comrades-in-arms and brothers.

"Come and sit down."

Ye Wuchen dragged Lu Fan to him and sat down.

When the wine was full, he raised his glass, "Come on, let's toast Lu Fan first." ”

"Okay."

Everyone responded loudly and raised their glasses together.

"I respect you."

Lu Fan nodded slightly at everyone, "It's all hard work." ”

"Don't say kind words, cheers!"

"Cheers!"

The people drank all the wine in their cups.

After a few laughs, Pei Jun asked, "Lu Fan, why have you been there for so long?" ”

"I talked to the emperor."

Lu Fan smiled and asked, "You guys are already here?" ”

"yes."

Song Yu answered: "We can't wait for you, we're really hungry, so let's eat first, don't be weird." ”

"How so?"

Lu Fan shook his head slightly, "You just treat this place as your home." ”

"I know you're generous."

Yang Cheng smiled: "You're hungry too, aren't you?" Hurry up and grab some food. ”

"What kind of food?"

Lu Fan smiled and raised his glass, "Come on, let's drink another one." ”

"Okay."

The crowd responded in unison.

Although he had already eaten and drunk enough, Lu Fan accompanied everyone to eat and drink again.

Compared to being in the palace, it is much more comfortable here.

Everyone laughed and had a lot of fun.

It seems to have returned to Zhennanguan, in the barracks, the scene of everyone getting together.

That warmth and emotion have continued to the present.

Nothing has changed, but the relationship between them has not changed.

For some, that's all that matters.

……

……

The next day, in the morning.

Lu Fan woke up from his meditation, washed up, and came to the dining room.

Zhiqing, as before, has been waiting here for a long time.

She served a bowl of mutton soup for Lu Fan, put seasonings on it, stirred it well, and brought it to Lu Fan.

Then she brought a few beef pancakes, plus a large basket of meat buns, and all kinds of pies.

She knew that Lu Fan was good at this, and she arranged it in advance.

"What about the others?"

Lu Fan picked up a beef roast cake and ate it in a big gulp.

I drank a few more mouthfuls of mutton soup.

It's still that taste.

That's nice!

"Except for General Ye, everyone else left, saying that they were going back to the barracks."

Zhiqing stood aside with her hands down and said, "Before they left, they specially instructed me not to alarm you. ”

"Okay, I see."

Lu Fan stopped talking and concentrated on eating.

After a while, Ye Wuchen came.

Zhiqing served him a bowl of bean curd, accompanied by a few desserts, and vegetarian buns.

The taste is completely different from Lu Fan.

Zhiqing knows the habits of the two, even if they haven't seen each other for a long time, they still haven't forgotten it.

"Alas, it's finally over."

Ye Wuchen ate a few bites of food and turned his gaze to Lu Fan, "What are you going to do next?" ”

"Let's wait for the emperor's will to come down."

Lu Fan already had a preliminary idea, but he hadn't completely made up his mind yet.

"Let's talk about it first."

Ye Wuchen brought up the old matter again, "You want to accompany me back to Jinling City to live for a while." ”

"Okay, no problem."

Lu Fan happily agreed.

He's relaxed now, and it's okay to think about some things in advance.

"Really?"

Ye Wuchen was greatly surprised, and said with a smile: "Today, I will ask people to carry the letter back and prepare in advance." ”

"You don't have to move the crowd."

Lu Fan said: "Just treat me as an ordinary friend who visits. ”

"Well, it won't."

Ye Wuchen agreed with a smile, "I know that you like to be low-key, so I will do what you want." ”

"By the way, the emperor didn't summon you?"

Lu Fan guessed: "With your merits, I'm afraid you're going to be promoted to commander, right?" ”

"The emperor can't take care of me now."

Ye Wuchen shook his head lightly, "In my estimation, the emperor is personally drafting a decree to reward you." ”

"With your credit, I'm afraid this reward is extraordinary."

"Just wait with peace of mind."

Speaking of this, Ye Wuchen glanced at Lu Fan and said with a smile: "Maybe you will be surprised." ”

"Then I will lend you good words."

Lu Fan didn't care about other rewards, even if he didn't give him anything, as long as he gave him heaven-level exercises and combat merits.

In the final analysis, the battle merit is also in exchange for the Heavenly Rank Exercise.

The combat exploits he has accumulated now, combined, are less than a million.

This reward, if he can make up enough for two million battle exploits, it would be the best.

In that case, he could exchange it for two Heavenly Rank exercises at the same time.

With these new exercises, his strength will definitely improve by leaps and bounds again.

Maybe you can break through the innate realm in one fell swoop and achieve transcendence.

After breakfast, Lu Fan and Ye Wuchen did not go back to their rooms, but came to the living room and waited quietly.

Lu Fan was meditating and cultivating, while Ye Wuchen took out the recliner as before, and lay on it leisurely.

I don't know how long it took, Zhiqing came in and reported, "Childe, Lord Gao and Gonggong Gui are here, saying that they brought the emperor's will." ”

Lu Fan opened his eyes and waved his hand, "Please." ”

"Yes."
