Chapter Seventy-Three: The Road Ahead
On this night, Lu Xuan sent away fourteen brothers who were born and died, and let them finish the last journey of their lives as happily as possible.
In the evening, a celebration banquet was held in the Lu Mansion, and everyone who could move came, but the atmosphere was a little dull.
It was the first time that their men had suffered such heavy casualties, and of course, their record was quite impressive, defeating twice as many regular troops as they were.
Yang Chong sat next to Lu Xuan, although his feelings were not as deep as Lu Xuan's, he was also affected by this atmosphere.
"This cup is for our dead brothers." Lu Xuan raised the wine glass in his hand, poured the wine on the ground, looked at the silent brothers and said: "Brothers, from the day I decided to rebel, I never thought that I would die in this life, and I didn't want my brothers to die, if I could, I think my brothers have been with me to eat, drink and have fun, but we are rebelling." ”
"I don't want to say anything sensational today, I just want to tell you that if I feel uncomfortable, I will practice my skills well, if we have a chance to get ahead in this life, give me the share of my dead brother, and live well!" Lu Xuan put the wine glass on the table, and his fierce gaze swept over everyone: "Give me all food!" ”
"Eat!"
With Lu Xuan's words, everyone silently picked up the food in their hands, followed Lu Xuan's appearance, and feasted happily.
In this world, everyone is used to not dying one day, but today they are brothers who get along day and night, and it is inevitable that they will feel uncomfortable.
Although Lu Xuan's words didn't really let people go, everyone began to secretly breathe a sigh of relief in their hearts, practice their skills and get ahead!
"Big brother, in the past three days that you have been in a coma, the city has not been peaceful." Yang Chong saw that the atmosphere was gradually warming up, so he breathed a sigh of relief, and after having a drink with Lu Xuan, he told him about the situation in the past three days.
"Those big families are not honest?" Lu Xuan asked.
"No, those big families are honestly tight, but many people in the city take the lead in making trouble." Yang Chong frowned.
Lu Xuan's order is not to persecute the people, and they can still kill the big families, but it is difficult to deter the people without being ruthless.
"What do the people know? There must be someone behind it. Lu Xuan shook his head and laughed.
"I know, too, but I don't have any evidence, I don't know who is responsible for it." Yang Chong said helplessly.
"Evidence?" Lu Xuan glanced at him strangely: "We are anti-thieves, what evidence are you talking about?" ”
"I also know that the people who support the envoys must be those big families, but I don't know who they are." Yang Chong smiled bitterly.
"It doesn't matter who it is, in this way, it's too late, tomorrow you call someone to come to the door, invite those rich people here, and I will solve this matter."
"Hmm." Yang Chong nodded: "What's next?" ”
"Spread the news first, and reunite the people of the Unification Church who were scattered before." Lu Xuan thought about it, Guo Chang's problem has to be solved, it is best to die, if he doesn't die, he can't be allowed to come back alive this time.
"Now the grain in Sanyang City can't support too many people." Yang Chong said distressedly.
Sanyang County was first broken by them, and then it was taken away by the official army, this grain and grass have been consumed a lot, and now they are no problem, but if a large number of Guiyi Sect members are added, the food in Sanyang County is afraid that it will not be able to support so many soldiers.
"I came to them, not to let them fight, but to divide the fields among them." Lu Xuan shook his head, the previous set developed by Guo Chang or the Guiyi Sect will not work after the regular army has taken action.
Now it is obvious that the distribution of interests within the imperial court has been completed and the counterattack has begun, and the previous set of the Unified Sect can only be quickly extinguished, Lu Xuan has now gained real power, and he is about to be canonized by the Heavenly Master, and now it is time to think about something more long-term.
"Divide the field?" Yang Chong looked at Lu Xuan puzzled.
"Well, it's almost spring, we have to prepare in advance, select the strong ones to stay for training, and go back to farming with the rest of the fields." Lu Xuan groaned.
"The court can't let us live in peace like this." Yang Chong frowned.
"I know." Lu Xuan nodded, although the previous Unified Sect uprising was huge, it was basically the same as Guo Chang before, eating wherever he went, it seemed to be huge, but in fact, it was like a castle built of sand, and it was scattered as soon as it was blown.
But if the Unification Church begins to develop base areas in a planned way, this is tantamount to fighting a protracted war with the imperial court, and the imperial court will certainly not witness such a thing happening.
"I will find a way to discuss this matter with the Heavenly Master." Lu Xuan groaned.
If you do it alone, it will inevitably become a thorn in the side of the imperial court, but if there are too many people who do it, the imperial court will not be able to concentrate its forces against itself, and other members of the Guiyi Church will help you disperse your firepower, and then try to reduce your sense of existence when the time comes.
Zhang Daoqing's life is not long in coming, with the current situation of the Guiyi Sect, as soon as Zhang Daoqing dies, it is estimated that he will fall apart, and he has to give full play to the value of the Guiyi Sect before that.
"Can you contact the Celestial Master?" Yang Chong's eyes lit up, and now they felt like they were fighting alone.
"No, but it should be soon." Lu Xuan shook his head and said, "Do you remember that Guo Chang said before that Heavenly Master would send someone to pick up Li Xinian?" ”
Yang Chong nodded, Lu Xuan told him about this, and also said that if those people found him after the city was broken, and Lu Xuan did not come back, he must keep them.
"The people who came to pick up Li Xinian will definitely be able to contact the Heavenly Master, we have made such a big move, it is impossible for them not to know, they should be found soon." Lu Xuan raised his wine glass, took a sip with Yang Chong and said, "Whether I can get a way to contact the Heavenly Master, and whether I can become a commander, it will fall on these people." ”
There is another point that Lu Xuan didn't say, Guo Chang's life and death are also very important, of course, things have developed to the point where they are now, even if Guo Chang is alive, he can't hinder his rise in the Unified Sect, but this person is small-minded, if he is still alive, there may be trouble, and it is not easy for the Heavenly Master to take the position of Guo Chang's supervisor, it is possible that he is just a deputy commander.
Lu Xuan gambled with his life, but not to be a deputy under Guo Chang.
In order to avoid the embarrassment of the Heavenly Master, it was better for Guo Chang to die, and he didn't have the heart to continue to play a game of intrigue with Guo Chang in this environment.
"I don't understand these things, anyway, just listen to you." Yang Chong raised his head and drank all the wine in the cup, looked at Lu Xuan and said, "What do you say, do it." ”
The atmosphere of this celebration banquet is not high, after all, those who die are brothers of life and death, this battle is of great significance to Lu Xuan, the eight hundred brave men, and the impact is not small, everyone needs time to digest.
After Lu Xuan finally sent a lot of money to the brothers, he hastily ended the banquet, and then it was time to deal with the people who jumped out to make trouble in the past three days......
