After a while, hearty laughter came from the courtyard.

Zhiqing pushed open the door and stretched out her hand to signal, "Two adults, please." ”

Gao Wancheng and Xiao Guizi entered the living room and bowed to Lu Fan with a smile.

"General Lu, congratulations."

Lu Fan and Ye Wuchen got up to greet each other, "Lord Gao, Gonggong Gui, please sit down." ”

"There's no hurry."

Gao Wancheng waved his hand, "We were ordered by the emperor to bring the emperor's will to General Lu, please go to Gonggong Gui." ”

"Hmm."

Xiao Guizi nodded, unfolded the holy decree, and read aloud: "Lu Fan, the commander of the three armies, is brave and commanding, and has made immortal achievements for my Great Zhou. ”

"Tejia Feng Lu Fan is the king of Zhennan, with a bounty of 100,000 taels, and the fifty cities of the original Chu State are all owned by the king of Zhennan and become a fief under the jurisdiction of the king of Zhennan."

"And crowned the title of God of War, and received 1.2 million military merits."

"A special gift for the Heavenly Rank Exercises."

After reading it, Xiao Guizi closed the holy decree and handed it to Lu Fan with a respectful face, "Lord Wang, please accept the decree." ”

"The minister takes the order."

Lu Fan took the holy decree and was very satisfied.

The Heavenly Rank Exercises are there, and the two million battle merits are also available.

I want him to be able to have three Heavenly Rank exercises at once.

It seems that the emperor also calculated his military exploits, and specially made up enough two million military exploits for him.

I have to say that this mind is meticulous enough.

As for the fiefdom of the king, Lu Fan didn't care very much.

The title of God of War is even more dispensable.

Moreover, the king of Zhennan is not so easy to be.

After all, those fifty cities were all subordinate cities of the original Chu State.

Even if Da Zhou takes over, it may not be able to bring the people there to their hearts.

It's better to give it to Lu Fan and let him rectify these places.

In the future, with Lu Fan over there as a buffer, the Chu State will no longer be able to raise wind and waves.

It's a lot of work.

The most important thing is that with Lu Fan in the south, whether it is Shu or Yue, you have to be honest.

The situation in the south as a whole will be unusually stable.

Li Tianrun only needs to envelop Lu Fan alone.

"Lord, congratulations."

Gao Wancheng gave his hand again and said hello to Lu Fan, "You are the first king with a different surname in my Great Zhou, such an honor is really rare." ”

"Your Excellency, you're welcome."

The two exchanged a few words, Gao Wancheng took out a book of exercises and handed it to Lu Fan, "This is a heaven-level exercise, please take it." ”

"Okay."

Lu Fan took the exercise and looked at it, only to see three big characters written on it: Tianxin Jue!

It's really a heaven-level exercise!

With it, Lu Fan will raise the ceiling again.

Not to mention the transcendent realm, even if it is a higher realm, he can reach it.

"Lord Gao, Gonggong Gui, please take a seat."

Lu Fan greeted the two with a smile.

"Nope."

Gao Wancheng waved his hand, "We have to go back to report to the emperor, so we won't bother the prince." ”

"Farewell."

Xiao Guizi arched his hand to Lu Fan, "Lord Wang, you stay." The emperor specially asked me to tell the prince not to leave Beijing in a hurry, and after a while, when the emperor is busy, there is still something to discuss with the prince. ”

"Okay."

Lu Fan nodded, watched the two leave, and then he returned to the room with the exercises, and couldn't wait to practice.

……

……

After lunch, Lu Fan left the Lu Mansion and went straight to the palace.

He wanted to exchange it for two Heaven-Rank martial arts.

When he came to the gate of the palace, the guards guarding the door recognized him and threw his hand at him again and again, "General Lu, congratulations." ”

After greeting the guards, Lu Fan entered the palace and soon came to the library pavilion.

Li Ruoqiu was reading a book in the lobby, when he heard the voice, he looked up, and quickly stood up, with joy in his eyes, "You're here." ”

"Hmm."

Lu Fan said with a smile: "I want to exchange for two heaven-level martial arts, and by the way, I will return the Xuanbing Marksmanship." ”

"Come with me."

Li Ruoqiu turned around and walked in front, and the two quickly came to the twelfth floor of the Library Pavilion.

This is the top floor of the Library Pavilion.

"Master."

Li Ruoqiu shouted, "Lu Fan is here." ”

"Invite him in."

"Okay."

Under the guidance of Li Ruoqiu, Lu Fan entered a room and saw an old man sitting inside, who was Li Yunting.

Only then did he know that Li Yunting had been guarding the library all along.

It seems that the young men and women below are all Li Yunting's apprentices.

"Lu Fan, come and sit."

Li Yunting got up and beckoned to Lu Fan with a smile, "I knew you were coming today, I specially made a pot of tea for you, and what you wanted, I have already prepared it for you." ”

"The seniors bothered."

Lu Fan was not polite, and came to sit down opposite Li Yunting.

Li Yunting personally poured a cup of tea for Lu Fan, and then glanced at Li Ruoqiu, "You can sit too." ”

"Thank you, Master."

Li Ruoqiu sat down happily.

"This is the "Xuanbing Marksmanship", I am here to return it."

As he spoke, Lu Fan took out a book of exercises and handed it to Li Yunting, "By the way, I will exchange for two books of heaven-level martial arts." ”

"Okay."

Li Yunting took the exercises, put them away casually, and said with a smile: "I only have a total of four Heavenly Rank exercises in the hands of the Great Zhou Imperial Family, and I have let you learn them all now." ”

"Oh?"

Lu Fan was a little surprised, he originally thought that he could have at least five or six Heavenly Rank Exercises, it seemed that he was thinking too much.

"This is "Flying Heaven and Earth", this is "Sky Splitting Sword Method".

Li Yunting has two more exercises in his hand, "One is the body method, and the other is the sword method, which were originally secrets that my royal family did not pass on, and no outsider had ever had the opportunity to cultivate." ”

"But your credit this time is too great, it is the emperor who overrides public opinion and takes out these Heavenly Rank Exercises for you."

"It can be seen that the emperor loves you."

Li Yunting sighed: "You don't want to live up to the emperor's trust in you. ”

"Hmm."

Lu Fan nodded, he understood what Li Yunting meant.

However, he had no dissenting intentions, let alone ambitions for the throne.

He just wants to keep improving his strength and enter a higher realm.

The so-called throne, the dynasty, is just a mundane thing, and it has no attraction to him.

When his strength goes further, he will try to get out of the Great Zhou and go to those legendary places.

Go and find higher-level exercises and martial arts.

There are also those kinds of cultivation resources.

All of them are not owned by today's Da Zhou.

"You'd better read these exercises before you leave Beijing, keep them in mind, and return them together when the time comes."

Li Yunting said: "After all, these exercises are too scarce, and Ruoqiu and they will also start to slowly contact and cultivate." ”

"Okay, no problem."

Lu Fan happily agreed, and he didn't want to carry the exercises with him all day long.

"Come, tea."

"Okay."

Lu Fan picked up the teacup and slowly tasted the tea.

The tea is very light, but it has an aftertaste.

The more time passes, the more worth savoring.

The more tea he drank, he was able to taste the taste slowly.

It's like life.

If you see more people, it is naturally easy to distinguish between good and bad people.

Of course, some people are quite hidden, and they can't tell the difference without close contact for a long time.

Li Yunting in front of him is undoubtedly counted as one.

"Lu Fan, I've actually been paying attention to you."

Li Yunting took a sip of tea and said, "I've noticed you since the first time you came to the Library Pavilion, and you had just entered the first grade at that time, right?" ”

"In less than two years, your strength has surpassed me and reached the Innate Nine Realms."

"Suffice it to say, I watched you grow up."

"But I never figured it out."

Speaking of this, Li Yunting shook his head lightly, "Isn't there a bottleneck in your cultivation?" ”

"Maybe, I don't understand either."

Lu Fan couldn't explain this matter, so he could only deal with it casually.

"You're a genius."

Li Yunting sighed: "I have never seen a genius like you, and I have never even heard of someone like you, who can advance to the Innate Nine Realms in just two years. ”

"yes."

Li Ruoqiu on the side answered: "It's ridiculous, I thought I was better than Lu Fan." ”

"How long did you cultivate at that time?"

Li Yunting shook his head slightly, "How long has Lu Fan been cultivating?" It's only a year, right? Even now, it's only been less than three years, can you compare? ”

"I've been practicing martial arts since I was six years old, and it's been more than ten years now."

Li Ruoqiu's expression darkened, "And I am still guarding the library pavilion, guarding countless exercises and martial arts every day, it stands to reason that I should enter the realm faster." ”

"Don't talk about you."

Li Yunting laughed at himself, "I have lived for hundreds of years, and the realm has always stayed in the innate eight realms, and I can't advance an inch." Compared with Lu Fan, the two of us are just mediocre talents. ”

"Senior, don't say that."

Lu Fan said modestly: "I can't afford it." ”

"Seriously, how the hell did you do that?"

Li Yunting suddenly arched his hand, "I'm really asking you for advice!" ”

"Huh?"

Only then did Lu Fan understand Li Yunting's intentions, and stretched out his hand to stop the other party, "The seniors can't help it, how dare I show off in front of the seniors?" ”

"You don't have to be humble, and you don't have to call me senior."

Li Yunting said: "There is no order in which the Tao is heard, and it has nothing to do with respect and inferiority, the elder and the younger, and the master is the teacher!" ”

"Your current realm is far beyond mine, and I should ask you for advice."

As he spoke, Li Yunting bowed his head slightly to Lu Fan, "I hope Mr. Lu will give him advice." ”

"I practice according to the exercises and martial arts, and the water comes naturally."

Of course, Lu Fan has his own comprehension of exercises and martial arts, but he can't teach others for no reason, so he can only say perfunctorily: "As for the cultivation realm, I am definitely inferior to my predecessors." ”

"Okay, since you don't want to say it, I can't force it."

Li Yunting was slightly disappointed, "I can only wait until I ask Mr. Lu for advice later." ”

"You're welcome."

Lu Fan picked up the two exercises and got up to say goodbye, "I'm in a hurry to go back to practice, so I won't bother my seniors." ”

"Okay."

Li Yunting and Li Ruoqiu got up to see each other off.

Leaving the Library Pavilion, Lu Fan left the palace and returned to the Lu Mansion as quickly as possible.

Start with the body.

Lu Fan quickly made up his mind, took out the body method of "Flying Heaven and Earth", and looked through it carefully from the beginning.

If you can practice this body technique to the extreme, you can not only increase your agility, but you can even fly to the sky.

It is equivalent to Lu Fan having another means to save his life.

In the future, even if he encounters an unmanageable danger, he can escape by flying or escaping.

Let's practice!

Lu Fan came to the courtyard and practiced his technique.

……

……

The next morning.

Lu Fan practiced knife skills in the courtyard.

Sky Splitting Knife Method!

If you practice this set of sword techniques to the extreme, even the sky can be broken!

Heavenly Heart Technique, Flying Heaven and Earth Body Method, Heaven Splitting Sword Method, plus Dao Sutra, Lu Fan is cultivating at the same time.

Naturally, it is impossible to enter the country as fast as before.

But it's the most time-saving.

At the beginning, Lu Fan's strength would not improve too significantly, but the more time passed, the faster his strength would improve.

By the time he cultivated the two Heavenly Rank martial arts to perfection at the same time, his strength would definitely skyrocket.

At that time, even if he couldn't achieve transcendent cultivation, his true strength would definitely be able to reach it.

Go on!

Lu Fan held the Kunwu knife in his hand, pointed at the void, and slashed out continuously.

"Whew!"

The strong sword wind soared into the sky, slashing the white cloud above Lu Fan's head in two.

He continued to swing his knife.

The white clouds were chopped into countless pieces, and gradually gathered together.

Then he cut them to pieces and regrouped again.

Cycle.

Unexpectedly, he inadvertently found a good way to practice.

After only practicing for a while, the effect is obvious.

"Whew!"

Lu Fan kept swinging his knife, not feeling the slightest tiredness.

After a long time, footsteps rang out.

Zhiqing hurriedly ran over, "Childe, Liu Xiang is here." ”

"Come in, please."

Lu Fan put away the knife and looked at the courtyard door.

"Yes."

Zhiqing trotted away.

After a while, she guided Liu Zeming into the courtyard.

"Lord, congratulations."

Liu Zeming approached with a smile and hugged his fist to Lu Fan, "I brought a little bit of a small salute, not a respect." ”

As he spoke, he snorted, "Someone." ”

"Yes."

The housekeepers rushed in with boxes of fish.

There were more than a dozen large boxes, and they looked extremely heavy.

"Liu Xiang is too polite."

Lu Fan said with a smile: "I also ask you to run it yourself." ”

"It's all vulgar things, as long as you don't dislike it."

Liu Zeming smiled and said, "I didn't come not only to congratulate him, but also to act on orders. ”

"My old man invited you over and wanted to talk to you."

"It was inconvenient for him to come, so he sent me to invite you."

Speaking of this, Liu Zeming arched his hand and said: "Don't refuse, the prince." ”

"Of course not."

Lu Fan happened to have something to ask Liu Qingyang, he looked back at Zhiqing, and handed out the Kunwu knife, "You go and arrange for someone to accept the gift." ”

"Yes, Childe."

Zhiqing took the Kunwu knife and trotted away.

"Liu Xiang, let's go."

"Lord Wang, please."

Lu Fan and Liu Zeming left the Lu Mansion, got into the carriage, and came all the way to the Liu Mansion.

A group of people were guarding the door to greet Lu Fan.

Liu Zhi, Liu Mei, Liu Xiaoyue, He Zifeng, etc., in addition to the young people of the Liu family, there are also several elders.

After a few words of greeting, Lu Fan was surrounded by everyone and entered the Liu Mansion.

Accompanied by Liu Zeming, Lu Fan walked through several courtyards and came to a lake, where there were several thatched huts, which looked quite simple.

The two entered one of the huts, and Liu Qingyang was sitting upright on a futon, his eyes closed.

Hearing the voice, Liu Qingyang opened his eyes, saw Lu Fan, and smiled, "Come, come and sit." ”

"Okay."

Lu Fan sat down on the futon beside Liu Qingyang as he said.

"Zeming, you go outside and wait."

Liu Qingyang waved his hand, "I'll say a few words to Lu Fan." ”

"Yes."

Liu Zeming bowed and withdrew, and only Lu Fan and Liu Qingyang were left in the room.

"Lu Fan, I couldn't keep Xuanji Daoist that day and let him run away."

Liu Qingyang was slightly apologetic and sighed: "It's me who overestimated myself, I thought I could keep him." ”

"Seniors don't need to blame themselves, so there's nothing you can do."

Lu Fan said: "With the situation at that time, I can only choose to go to the city to rescue, as for the Xuanji Daoist, just run, if you really want to trouble him in the future, go to Wei to find him." ”

Having said that, Lu Fan would inevitably mumble in his heart.

After all, Liu Qingyang has a good reputation, and his strength is at least not weaker than that of Xuanji Daoren, so it is said that in the battle between the two, Liu Qingyang will have a slight upper hand.

If the Xuanji Dao people want to run, I'm afraid it's not so easy.

Liu Qingyang will at least entangle this person and wait for Lu Fan to come over.

But in fact, not long after Lu Fan left, Xuanji Daoist ran away.

Could it be that Liu Qingyang deliberately let Xuanji go?

Why?

Is it deliberately leaving a powerful enemy for Da Zhou?

It's really possible.

If there is no Xuanji Daoist, the Wei State will not be afraid.

If the Great Zhou royal family had no foreign enemies, would they find a way to deal with their own people?

With Liu Qingyang's strength, it is said that he should not be afraid of the Great Zhou royal family.

However, since the Li family can be in charge of the Great Zhou for thousands of years, there must be unknown hole cards.

That hole card, maybe even Liu Qingyang will be worried.

What exactly? Is there a threat to him?

Lu Fan also had a little more vigilance in his heart.

"Yes, with your talent, you will be able to surpass me in a few years and become the number one master of Da Zhou."

Liu Qingyang smiled: "When the time comes, Xuanji will not let you handle it?" ”

"The seniors have won the prize."

Lu Fan said modestly: "I'm still far away." ”

"You don't have to be humble."

Liu Qingyang waved his hand, "With your talent, coupled with the newly obtained Heavenly Rank Exercises, maybe it is really possible for you to make a breakthrough within a few years, surpass me, and be promoted to an extraordinary powerhouse." ”

"But there's one thing I want to warn you about."

"It's cold in the heights!"

"The wood is beautiful in the forest, and the wind will destroy it."

"Although your strength is strong, after all, your foundation is still shallow, especially since you are from a poor background and do not have a strong family force behind you."

"Even if disaster befalls in the future, no one will stand up for you."

Speaking of this, Liu Qingyang sighed lightly, "So, you seem to be beautiful now, but in fact, if you are not careful, you will fall into the endless abyss." ”

"Oh?"

Lu Fan heard the meaning of the other party's words, and wanted to remind him.

"Can you elaborate on that?"

"There are some things that you should be able to guess without saying it explicitly."

Liu Qingyang shook his head, "Not to mention far away, Wei He a few decades ago, you should have heard of it, how did he die?" Have you thought about it? ”

"Wei He?"

Lu Fan remembered that he had heard Ye Wuchen mention it.

"Now your reputation is greater than that of Wei He back then."

Liu Qingyang reminded: "Wei He can't be tolerated, let alone you?" ”

"Senpai means to say ......"

Lu Fan understood, but he didn't say it.

After all, this matter is too big, and it is just speculation.

According to Liu Qingyang's meaning, Wei He seems to have been killed by the Great Zhou royal family?

Wouldn't he be immune?

It's just that Li Tianrun will really do this?

"I didn't say anything."

Liu Qingyang sighed: "After all, some things are just my guesses, and there is no way to confirm them, I came to you today to remind you to be careful." ”

"Thank you for the reminder."

Lu Fan thought for a while and asked, "Is there a solution for the seniors?" ”

"You've actually done enough."

Liu Qingyang said: "Modest, low-key, don't fight for merit, don't grab merit, and don't have much desire for power, if this can't reassure some people, then there is no good way." ”

"My advice is, go with the flow."

"You don't have to be too deliberate, but it will lead to suspicion."

"Do what you have to do, but be prepared."

"Leave a way out for yourself."

Speaking of this, Liu Qingyang glanced at Lu Fan and said meaningfully: "Those who should come will always come, and if you want to hide, you can't hide, I'm afraid it's even more useless." ”

"Hmm."

Lu Fan nodded, he wasn't very worried.

After all, he was confident in his own strength, and coupled with his strong physical body, it would not be so easy for anyone who wanted to deal with him.

"By the way, do your predecessors know how Wei He disappeared back then?"

"I've secretly checked, but I can't find anything."

Liu Qingyang said: "It was as if he had disappeared out of thin air, leaving not even a trace. ”

"What kind of cultivation did Wei He do back then?"

Lu Fan was a little curious.

"His strength back then should be around the Nine Realms of Innate Nature."

Liu Qingyang's thoughts returned to the past, "But like you, he also has a powerful body, so he can be invincible on the battlefield, and no one is his opponent." ”

"Oh?"

Lu Fan was surprised, thinking to himself, isn't this about the same as his current strength?

He asked puzzledly, "Since Wei He is so strong, how could he disappear out of thin air?" ”

"That's what makes sense."

Liu Qingyang shook his head lightly, "At that time, the strongest strength in the Great Zhou, except for him, was only an innate Eight Realm cultivator, and no one in the other countries could threaten him, but he disappeared mysteriously." ”

"Could he have left on his own initiative?"

Lu Fan thought of himself again, and he might also leave in the future.

"Impossible."

Liu Qingyang was extremely resolute, "Even if he wants to leave, he will always explain to the people around him, and he will also bring his usual things." But in fact, he took nothing with him, and no one knew that he was leaving. ”

"That's weird."

Lu Fan pointed to it, "Could it be that there are still unknown powerhouses?" Hiding behind them? ”

"I've been thinking about this for a long time, will there really be a superlative powerhouse in Da Zhou?"

Liu Qingyang said: "Originally, I wanted to observe through this big battle, but I didn't expect that until the last critical moment, that person did not appear. ”

"If it weren't for your timely rescue, I'm afraid Da Zhou would have died."

"So, I'm starting to doubt my own thoughts now."

"Maybe there are no extraordinary powerhouses in Da Zhou at all."

"Wei He's disappearance is just a coincidence."

After a pause, Liu Qingyang continued: "But no matter what, it's always good to be careful. ”

"I see."

Lu Fan now knows why Liu Qingyang is reluctant to make a move, and why he will let go of Xuanji Daoren.

I just want to find out the person who made Wei He missing.

It's a pity that it backfired, and Lu Fan's appearance frustrated Liu Qingyang's idea.

However, with the situation at that time, if there was really an extraordinary powerhouse, it was time to take action.

Otherwise, Da Zhou may be in danger of losing the country.

"Okay, I haven't had anything else to do with you, you can go."

Liu Qingyang said: "Don't tell anyone about our conversation today, just know and I know." ”

"Okay."

Lu Fan said goodbye and left.

He walked out of the hut and saw Yanagisawa still waiting in the distance.

"Lord, I have arranged for someone to prepare a family banquet."

Liu Zeming greeted him with a smile, "Please come with me to the banquet, I just have something to tell you." ”
