After the war, he would be assassinated, and Lucius had already thought of it in advance, but he didn't expect that it was not the demon clan that assassinated him, but a group of five people.

And what surprised Lucius the most was that the five assassins didn't seem to be the people who came from the Immortal Realm and the Buddha Kingdom, because they didn't have the breath of the Immortal Realm and the Buddha Kingdom on their bodies, although the exercises they practiced should be passed down from the Immortal Realm and the Buddha Kingdom civilization, but it was certain that they were not from the Immortal Realm and the Buddha Kingdom.

Seeing this, Christine couldn't bear it at first, and said sarcastically at Lucius: "It seems that no one misses you for what you did, and even the people sent to assassinate you are actually from the Tang Empire, and it seems that you are really hostile." ”

Lucius didn't think much of Christine's sarcasm, but smiled and said, "Heroes are always misunderstood, and those people will thank me in the future." ”

In fact, Christine's sarcasm of Lecius is because she feels that what Lucius is doing now is not worth it, obviously inside and outside the court of the entire Tang Empire, except for the two saints, everyone has recognized the existence of the fairy realm and the Buddha country, and even pinned all their hopes on the fairy realm and the Buddha kingdom.

However, the appearance of Lucius broke the dominance of the Immortal Domain and the Buddha Kingdom, and now he is even more in danger, openly standing on the opposite side of the Immortal Domain and the Buddha Kingdom, which naturally makes him the target of the public.

Judging from the current situation, in the end, no matter whether Lucius can defeat the demon clan and solve the current crisis encountered by the Tang Empire, I am afraid that no one in the entire court will stand up to praise and praise him.

Moreover, if Lucius finally fails, I am afraid that he will become a sinner for the ages, and even fall to the point where everyone shouts and beats him, and at that time, Lucius is afraid that he will not even have a chance to gain a foothold in Middle-earth, and it is very likely that he will be directly expelled from Middle-earth.

In Christine's opinion, there was no need for Lucius to do this. This kind of thankless work can't bring any benefit to Lecius at all, and she really doesn't understand why Lecius is so persistent in doing these things that don't seem to get anything in return?

Christine said very indifferently: "You want to be a hero, but in the current situation, I'm afraid that in the end you will end up as a hero, but you won't get the glory of a hero." ”

Christine's words made everyone present fall into deep thought, and after a moment Caroline also spoke: "Lucius, is it really worth it?"

Apparently Caroline and the others felt that it was inappropriate. I feel that it is not worth it for Lucius to do this at all, because in the end, whether he succeeds or not, Lucius will not get any return, and now he has attracted everyone's hostile eyes, and has completely become a thorn in the side of the fairy realm and the Buddha kingdom.

It can be said that the current Lucius has become the person who the Immortal Domain and the Buddha Kingdom want to get rid of the most, unlike when he first set foot on Middle-earth, now the Immortal Domain and the Buddha Kingdom should really be murderous.

Everyone present. They were all worried about Lucius, worried that he would eventually help the two saints of the Tang Empire get rid of the control of the Immortal Realm and the Buddha Kingdom, but instead put himself into it, so that everyone present would feel that it was not worth it. For that was not the true purpose of their journey to Middle-earth.

In the face of everyone's worries and doubts, Lucius remained calm, and said with a confident smile on his face: "Don't worry, there are many things that are not worth it. Because somebody needs to do that, and I'm just at the right time. ”

Hearing Lucius say this, everyone present was really a little speechless. I don't know how to continue persuading.

Everyone had to look at Du Liniang, as if expecting Du Liniang to persuade a few words, after all, Lucius would still listen to Du Liniang's persuasion many times.

And Du Liniang also understood what everyone meant, looked at Lucius and said in a deep voice: "Lucius, in fact, you don't need to be like this, everything must have a degree, we came all the way to the East, to Middle-earth, not to be here to be a hero, have you forgotten the purpose of your trip?"

Seeing Du Liniang speak, Lu Xiusi responded solemnly: "Auntie, in fact, I know very well, I know what I am doing, you don't have to worry." ”

Du Liniang knows very well that Lu Xius has a persistent attitude, if it is something he believes, many times others cannot change it, in fact, as an Oriental, Du Liniang still wants to see what Lu Xius does now, after all, no matter what Lu Xius will do in the end, the East will get rid of the control of the fairy realm and the Buddha Kingdom.

You must know that when Du Liniang left the East, the Han Dynasty was facing the problems of the Tang Dynasty today, and in the face of the strength of the Immortal Domain and the Buddha Kingdom, it was difficult for any dynasty to confront it.

At the beginning, Du Liniang followed the team out of the east and tried to cross the sea of sand to the west, just to find the former holy land, and to use the power of the holy domain to fight against the fairy domain and the Buddha country, so as to try to save the Han Dynasty, which was already in danger at that time.

It's just that in the end, Du Liniang arrived in the West with nine deaths, but she didn't find the existence that could defeat the fairy realm and the Buddha Kingdom, but was involved in many disputes in the West.

Now that Du Liniang has returned to the East, although the Han Dynasty has long been lost in the long river of history, Du Liniang's affection for the East has not changed.

Therefore, from Du Liniang's own point of view, she hopes that Lu Xius can fight against the Immortal Realm and the Buddha Kingdom, and can help the Tang Dynasty get rid of the Immortal Realm and the Buddha Kingdom, so that the people of Eastern Middle-earth can completely get rid of the civilization invasion and spiritual slavery of the Eternal God Kingdom.

However, although Du Liniang wanted to see Lucius do this, she didn't want to see Lucius end up tragically.

After all, Lecius still has the responsibilities he shoulders, and the Eternal God Kingdom is not only the Immortal Realm and Buddha Kingdom in the East, but also the Magical Heaven Kingdom in the West.

If Lucius is allowed to lose his life for the sake of the East, there is no way to complete his ideals, and he will even have to bear infamy, Du Liniang would rather Lucius do nothing, and let the Tang Dynasty go to the fate of being destroyed by the fairy realm and the Buddha kingdom.

At this point, Du Liniang will eventually choose to support Lucius, because in her eyes, Lucius is like her own child.

So after thinking about it, Du Liniang still said to Lu Xiusi: "Lu Xiusi, I know that you are very confident, very capable, and have your own calculations, but I still hope that you can do what you can, and don't lose yourself because the Tang Dynasty finally lost yourself, it is really not worth it." ”

Hearing this, Lucius nodded: "Don't worry, auntie, I won't put myself in it, I will definitely get out of the way in the end, and I guarantee that there will be a beautiful result." ”

After the news that Lucius and others recovered Songjiang City and reopened the north-south passage of the Tianjiang River returned to Chang'an, Lucius did not receive any praise above the court.

Above the entire court, the focus of the argument of all the officials was who to send to garrison Songjiang City, and most people in the entire court thought that Songjiang City should not be in the hands of Lucius, but should be taken back into the hands of the Tang people.

The Holy Emperor was very annoyed by this, stopped the argument in the court, and angrily reprimanded: "You all shut up one by one, you had no way to attack the south bank before, and now that they have taken Songjiang City back, you want to sit back and enjoy it, you are really a good son of my Tang Dynasty." ”

Hearing the Holy Emperor's angry rebuke, the court suddenly fell silent, and those officials who had been arguing endlessly a moment ago all knelt on the ground in fear at this moment, not daring to raise their heads or speak their mouths.

However, there are also some bold ones, such as the old man of the imperial court, who is still standing there at this moment and says: "Your Majesty the Holy Emperor, although Songjiang City was taken back by that Lucius, he is not a Tang man after all, and I am afraid that such an important place is in his hands, I am afraid that it is inappropriate." ”

This time, someone took the initiative to help Lecius speak, and soon a military general stood up and said, "I don't know what the boss is referring to when he says something inappropriate?"

The old man replied with a sneer: "Naturally, it means that Lucius is not from our Tang Dynasty, and his origin has always been very strange, what his purpose is still unclear to us, how can we hand over such an important city as Songjiang City to him?"

Pavaro, who had originally helped Lucius speak, stood up again at this time: "Boss, what you said is really ridiculous, Lucius has recaptured Songjiang City, why is Songjiang City inappropriate in his hands?

Seeing Pavaro stand up again, the boss suddenly felt very annoyed, originally the boss had already received the news and knew that Pavaro and Lucius were not dealing with each other.

And he had already understood with Yuan Peng in advance, and Pavaro promised not to continue to speak for Lucius in the court, but he didn't expect to enter him and stand up again.

Without waiting for everyone to continue arguing, the Holy Emperor directly said: "Okay, don't fight, I have already said that I and the Holy Queen absolutely trust Lucius, so Songjiang City I can rest assured that I will hand it over to Lucius, and you will not have to argue about this matter in the future." ”

This time, the Holy Emperor's strength caught everyone by surprise, and the ministers who were originally going to argue suddenly all wilted, and some couldn't understand what the Holy Emperor meant, and this group of very shrewd courtiers were naturally unwilling to anger the Holy Emperor.

After all, at present, Lucius has stabilized the situation and pulled the precarious Tang Dynasty back from the edge of the cliff, as long as Lucius still controls Songjiang City, and the demon clan in the south does not fight to the north, the position of the Holy Emperor will continue to be stable.

Thinking of this, some guys from the Immortal Realm and the Buddha Kingdom, including the old man, naturally won't bother talking more in the court.

It seems that the situation has changed, and the Tang Dynasty has returned to its former peak, although there is still a large area of land in the south of the Yangtze River occupied by the demon clan, but the people have regained their confidence in the dynasty, and the popularity of the Holy Emperor and the Holy Queen has also been improved.

After the victory of the war in Songjiang City, the turbulent Tang Dynasty finally stabilized the situation, and the Immortal Realm and the Buddha Kingdom were forced to begin to change some of their original strategies. (To be continued......)
