Chapter 37: The Miasma of Smoke
In July, the princes' armies from all walks of life under the banner of the Qing monarch came to Tianzhou one after another, but they were dismounted as soon as they came, and a large number of soldiers were killed by the thunder that fell from the sky because they trampled on the fields, and the coalition army was not yet assembled, and it was cast a shadow.
"Tiandu's luck is starting to fall." Tiandang Mountain, Xie Hao looked at the ethereal clouds above Tiandu from afar, he was basically here these days, observing the luck of Tiandu.
Li Xinian's words and methods are indeed powerful, but they have to consume this Confucian youth.
Before, because of the open-air prestige, the people of Tianzhou were cohesive, but the effect of this kind of thing is marginal, after all, there are so many people in Tianzhou, and no matter how cohesive the people's hearts are, there is an upper limit after all, and now, with the gathering of more and more princes, a large number of ordinary soldiers die in the fields every day, and every thunder will consume some of the Confucian youth of Tiandu.
I can't see one or two, what about ten thousand and one hundred thousand?
When more and more princes' armies arrive, even if they do not harm the people, the people will have fear in their hearts, and as soon as there is more such a mentality, the luck will naturally stop growing, and the consumption will continue to increase, until the expenditure is greater than the income, and the luck of the capital will naturally begin to decline.
"It's definitely going to fall, so why should the general come and see it in person?" Lu Feng first sat on a piece of bluestone to comprehend the heavenly machine, and after glancing at it, there was no big surprise, and the other princes didn't know about this, and the news couldn't be hidden at all, but they still didn't see it, in order to use the lives of ordinary soldiers to consume the Confucian youth of this heavenly capital?
In the eyes of the superiors, ordinary people are just a string of numbers, as long as the harvest is enough, taking the lives of ordinary people to fill the hole, for them, it is just a set of numbers that belong to them.
In this matter, the princes tacitly chose not to know, and then let the ordinary soldiers under their command step on the pit to consume the green qi of Tiandu.
"The four-grade Confucian cultivator, if you don't abolish the green qi of this heavenly capital, the five grades under the command of the princes of the world may not be the opponent of the other party." Xie Hao glanced at Lu Fengxian: "You should be glad that when you escaped from the Heavenly Capital, Li Xinian had not yet broken through to the realm of virtue, otherwise you would be worse than your brother and them." ”
"I'll just surrender." Lu Fengxian was blunt, and when he saw Xie Hao's unkind gaze, he shrugged his shoulders and said, "My father-in-law treats me well, but if I want to use my life to serve the Xie family, I can't do it." ”
"You're open!" Xie Hao said speechlessly.
"Thanks for the compliment." Lu Feng first looked in the direction of Tiandu and said, "It's just that I didn't expect this heirloom jade seal to be so powerful." ”
He is the incarnation of the seal of mountains and rivers, and within the scope of his luck, he can do what he says without so many preconditions, but the power of this jade seal is really not bad at all, if it is in the hands of the Son of Heaven, what kind of power will it be?
He remembered the legend of the First World War in Dongzhou, the Son of Heaven was angry, and the masters below the fourth rank of the sect were almost all wiped out, and the four-grade monks all rolled away, which was still the time when the Tai Academy dragged its feet and withdrew the green qi in the jade seal, no wonder that Ji Huan dared to make a move against the Dao League.
Although the Dao Alliance has mountains and rivers, but the luck is someone else's, how do you fight?
In fact, he is not afraid of the Dao Alliance, now in the land of Yanyun, the Guiyi Sect is at its peak, and there are mountains and rivers seals, not to mention the strength of the body, he can do what Li Xinian is doing now, but it is difficult to last, otherwise the law will be directly fixed, and there will be fewer officials needed for the operation of the force.
Woo~
At the foot of the mountain, the sound of a horn echoed.
Xie Hao turned around and said, "It should be the gathering of princes from all walks of life, I'll go too." ”
"Hmm." Lu Fengxian nodded, and together with Xie Hao, flew directly back to the camp.
The princes' armies were not gathered together, but their own camps, if a certain family bombed the camp, it would not affect others, but in this way, because of the relationship between not encroaching on farmland, the princes formed a joint camp, flying in the sky to look down is more intuitive, the princes' joint camp stretches for hundreds of miles, looking at it, it is the princes' joint camp in a variety of strange ways together, the middle gap is the cultivated land, I don't know, I think the princes are of high quality, in fact, I am afraid of death.
When the two returned to the camp together, they saw that the princes of all parties had arrived, and when they saw the two, many acquaintances bowed their heads one after another.
"Brother Lu, sit here." Xie Hui greeted Lu Fengxian with a happy face, much more enthusiastic than Xie Yunke.
"General Lu, long time no see!" Another young man also stood up to salute.
"Cui Gongzi, long time no see." Lu Feng nodded first.
Lu Fengxian used to be a tyrant in Tiandu, and the five heroes of the Cui family were not familiar, but they also knew each other, after all, they were recruited by Xie Yao when they met in Tiandu, and everyone was more polite, but now that they see it, they are much more enthusiastic about Lu Fengxian than Xie Hao.
After all, Xie Hao is a member of the Xie family, unless the Xie family is finished, he can't win over at all, but Lu Fengxian is different, the identity of the son-in-law of the Xie family, everyone who understands it, can be co-opted.
"In Xia Murong Fu, I have heard the name of General Lu for a long time, and I only hate that I have no chance to see him, if General Lu has time, he might as well come to Wuzhou as a guest." A young man smiled at Lu Xuan and saluted.
"It turned out to be Murong Gongzi, disrespectful and disrespectful." Lu Fengxian's face was a little strange, there was a Murong Ke first, and then a Murong Fu, would there be Murong Bo?
"Everyone, everyone is here, let's discuss the strategy of breaking the city." Xie Yun frowned and interrupted everyone's politeness.
Xie Yun and Xie Hui are both top sons, but here, they are not prominent, the Cui family's five heroes and Murong family also came to the three descendants, these people are no worse than the Xie family brothers in terms of identity, and they are only polite and quiet, but they are not quiet because of this, and they are all talking in a whisper.
"Ladies and gentlemen, a lot of luck has dissipated a lot on this day." Xie Hui smiled and brought the topic to the right thing: "Then Li Xinian actually broke through the realm of virtue, which I didn't expect, now to break the Tiandu, I'm afraid you need to break the Confucian youth of the Tiandu first, otherwise with that Li Xinian, I want to Qingjun side, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to revive the great cadres." ”
"Brother Xie is right, but this so-called snake does not walk without a head, and a bird does not fly without a head, these thirty-seven heroes gather here today, although the momentum is huge, but it is like a plate of scattered sand." Cui Gongdan, the head of the Cui family's five masters, said with a smile: "Someone needs to give orders." ”
The rest of the princes understood that the position of the leader or the leader of the alliance could not be their turn, so they just nodded and agreed, of course, these people also have their own positions, after all, their strength is not comparable to the three major families, if they want to live well, they have to be vassals, but now in this account, don't say that the three major families are not the same heart within the three major families, and it also makes the princes of the thirty-seven roads divided into more than ten factions, each with supporters, and they quarreled constantly for a while.
Looking at this scene, Lu Chao, who was sitting at the end of the tent, silently withdrew and exhaled a mouthful of turbidity.
"Brother Lu seems to be resentful?" The middle-aged Confucian beside Xie Hui didn't know when he came out, looked at Lu Chao and smiled.
Lu Chao turned around and saw this person, and saluted: "Is it Mr. Tian?" ”
The person named Tian Gongyuan is the chief strategist under Xie Hui, of course, the most important point is that he is a Confucian cultivator in the realm of fame and fame, and he broke through in the process of governing Dongzhou.
"No need to be polite." Tian Gongyuan came to him and said with a smile: "Are you worried about Mr. Xinian?" ”
"I am different from the teacher, this is the choice of the teacher, I can't stop it, but I have my way." Lu Chao turned his head to look at the big tent, and the smile on his face was a little mocking: "It's just that I feel a little ridiculous to see a group of Confucian students who have never even broken through the realm of fame, but they are there to criticize the morality of a great Confucian in the realm of virtue." ”
"It's ridiculous indeed." Tian Gongyuan nodded and sighed: "But if not, I will not be on the side of Qingjun, but a thief, you should understand." ”
"Understanding and approving are two different things." Lu Chao shook his head.
"It's good to be young, there is still spirit in the chest, unlike me, after people reach middle age, it is difficult to have such enthusiasm as when they were young, but you don't have to worry, even if the Tiandu City is broken in the end, Mr. Xinian will be fine." Tian Gongyuan said with a smile.
At that time, Zhang Yuqing set off the rebellion of the Unification Sect, and he did not kill the famous Confucian, this time it was equivalent to the alliance of scholars, and it was impossible to kill a great Confucian in the realm of virtue, not that he could not be killed, but who killed who was unlucky, but the great cadre was respected by Confucianism, and if he killed a great Confucian in the realm of virtue, even if he won in the end, I am afraid that he would become the laughing stock of the world, and it would offend the Hongru Academy, which could be said to be more than worth the loss.
"I know, but the teacher he ...... I'm afraid that I will die with the great cadres! Lu Chao sighed.
He knows very well that since his teacher has broken through the realm of virtue through this matter this time, he has already had the will to die, and the day when the Tiandu is broken is the time when the teacher dies, it is impossible to say that he is not sad at all, Li Xinian's status is second only to his brother to Lu Chao.
Tian Gongyuan also sighed when he heard this: "Let's go in, sometimes, people have to do things that are contrary to their own wishes, there are countless Confucian students in the world, but there are only a hundred people in the realm of fame, isn't it because of this?" ”
"Thank you, sir." Lu Chao nodded, and happened to go back with Tian Gongyuan, but saw Lu Fengxian appear not far away at some point, looking at him with a smile.
"General Lu also came out?" Tian Gongyuan said with a smile.
"Well, there's going to be a fight inside." Lu Fengxian looked Tian Gongyuan up and down and said: "It seems that it is a good thing that the world is falling apart, and there are more and more Confucian cultivators in the realm of five merits." ”
"The general is not joking, but it is just a fluke." Tian Gongyuan hurriedly said.
"It's better not to go in now, this literati fights...... There's really nothing to see! Lu Fengxian thought back to the scene in the tent, spitting, grabbing his hair, and slapping him, and the momentum of a group of Confucian students who played out street gangsters also opened his eyes.
"We are also literati." Tian Gongyuan coughed lightly and said, he was going to take Lu Chao to familiarize himself with the scene of literati exchange, this kid, as a disciple of Li Xinian, is indeed a material that can be made, although Xie Hui is wary of him, but Tian Gongyuan is quite optimistic about Lu Chao, so he will follow.
"Then you guys, I'll go and breathe!" Lu Fengxian nodded, and walked out with his hands behind his back, he didn't want to come back for a short time.
Lu Chao looked at the back of Lu Fengxian leaving, for some reason, he always felt that he came out with him, even if someone greeted him and asked him to take care of himself, but ...... It's too much!
