Chapter 342: The Wind Rises
Four-Star Event: Hunt for the Remnant]
[Reward: 4,000 karma, 1 3-star rare exchange, 1 4-star rare exchange]
......
Huh?
What happened?
Lu Qing, who was cultivating in the old nest of Yuyan Mountain, suddenly saw a hint of a crusade incident.
In fact, this thing is quite common, and the family will always encounter some incidents, especially now, after the population is getting bigger and bigger.
These occasional events are also an important source of karma for Lu Qingting. For a single event, the rewards are few, but cumulatively, it's quite a lot.
It's just that most of the things that are usually brushed out are one-star and two-star, and the rewards for rare exchange items are very few, and the most important thing is the gradual accumulation of karma.
Now, that's a different story.
Four-star events are not something that ordinary clansmen can trigger and solve.
Especially the words 'chasing the remnants' made him think at once that there must be something new wrong in Yandu.
But the incident has been resolved, and even the rewards have jumped out, so it shouldn't be a big deal.
Lu Qing continued to cultivate with peace of mind, and he would not stop until he completed this cycle.
Recently, he finally pushed his cultivation to the first level of consummation. He felt that behind him, he could break through to the second layer of Yuanying at any time.
Although it is not a breakthrough in the large section, at the Yuanying level, the improvement of this small segment has brought about a considerable increase in strength.
According to Lu Qing's estimate, if he can enter the fourth layer of the Yuan Infant, that is, around the middle stage, then he can basically be said to be invincible in the Yuan Infant Period. The enemy of the colleague Yuan Ying level can no longer be his opponent. Unless the other party is also a very special kind, and also has supernatural powers or divine exercises or something, then say something else.
However, I don't know how long it will take to break through, and it may take a month or two to cultivate carefully. Therefore, Lu Qing is not in a hurry to do it recently, after all, there are still a lot of things recently.
For example, the Lu family completely replaced the Li family and became the Great Yan royal family, bringing the Great Yan into the era of the Lu dynasty.
This scene, Lu Qing felt that he still had to witness it.
......
After a while, Lu Qing teleported to Yandu and roughly understood what had happened before.
The whole matter, the Lu family has basically investigated clearly.
The three major families wanted to rob Li Xuanhao, but it was not a temporary idea.
In the early days, Li Chengzong and Li Xuanhao, when they were fighting for succession, the three of them were Li Xuanhao's supporters, and they had a relationship here.
They were not naΓ―ve enough to think that if they took Li Xuanhao away, they would be able to change the world in Yan Kingdom, which was also unrealistic.
But if you count the Wei state, it's different.
They don't know when they got in touch with Wei. According to their confessions, Wei had sent an elite team of monks to cross the border and enter the Jizhou realm to lurk.
As long as the actions of the three major families succeed in bringing Li Xuanhao out of Yandu, they will take action to ensure that they can get the people of the three major families, as well as Li Xuanhao himself, from Yan to Wei. And, in the future, he will also support Lee Hyun Ho's cause of restoring the country.
Of course, this kind of thing, in Lu Qing's eyes, is actually very familiar.
Really help Li Xuanhao restore the country? Then Lu Qing is afraid that it does not exist.
But people hold Li Xuanhao in their hands, which naturally has its effect. Retreat, you can use this as a bargaining chip, from time to time to disgust Yan Kingdom and disgusting Yunxiao Sect, in the name of Great Yan orthodoxy, in short, it is very annoying. Jin, and even in the name of this, in the territory of Yan State, contact various royalists to set off some civil strife.
Such civil strife, of course, is not a fatal thing for the Lu family and Yunxiao Sect. But in the end, it still takes effort to solve the problem.
In his opinion, this is not a big deal.
It's not big, because no matter how much Li Xuanhao and the royalists stumble and struggle, they can't change the upcoming Zen ceremonies. The power of the imperial court is close to collapse, even if the remaining forces are not weak, but they are scattered and cannot be organized; Qingfengmen and Yunxiao Sect are fully supported, and the Lu family is almost invincible in the Yan Kingdom.
But if it's small, it's not so much.
At this point, there are still people who risk the extinction of the clan and come to the rescue of Li Xuanhao, wanting to take him out, proving that Yu En is still alive under the thousand-year-old rule of the Li royal family.
Among the four major families, three of them are carrying the risk of exterminating the clan and come to make trouble, so outside, some barefoot ones may have a more resolute attitude around the Li family. This proves that even if the Lu family inherits this throne, not to mention the pressure of the external Yunxiao Sect, even if it is to unify the internal court, I am afraid it will be a very difficult thing.
Of course, this kind of difficulty was already conceived by Lu Qing when he made the decision earlier.
However, if the Lu family wants to further develop outward and become stronger from a remote state, in fact, no matter what path they choose, they need to face different difficulties.
It's not a problem to have a problem, it's a solution to it.
Moreover, Li Xuanhao's defection was unsuccessful after all.
If he really escaped into the hands of Wei State, it would indeed be a big trouble. But instead of running away, the three major families were exposed, which may be a good thing.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, the Mo family was forced to stand in line, and the other three families also handed the handle of the liquidation to the Lu family after the defeat. It just so happens that you can take this opportunity to clean up, which will reduce the internal pressure that the Lu family will face after it really takes the throne in the future.
The three Jin Dan who participated in this incident had all died on the spot. As for the others, the monks below the Jindan were also seriously wounded, and some of them who were not killed on the spot, but were only captured, will inevitably be directly convicted and beheaded in the future.
Even the entire Zhang, Zhao, and Guan clans, after this incident, can become history.
There is no need to fabricate special charges, rebellion and treason, not to mention in Yan Kingdom, in which country, they are both big crimes against the sky, and there is no big problem with the nine clans and the destruction of the door.
Even, including Li Xuanhao himself, will be publicly executed on the two major charges of treason and treason.
After internal discussion of this matter, the Lu family decided to resolve it as soon as possible, and before the Zen ceremony began, the finishing touches would be dealt with.
If this is the case, the person who nominally gave this fierce order was Li Chengzong, the Great Yan Emperor.
......
Seven hundred miles outside Yandu City, in a manor outside a small town, a group of people were sitting around.
They are all from Wei, and they are also Li Xuanhao's biggest reliance on escaping from Yan State, and the responders from Wei State.
They are members of the Great Wei Secret Camp. The secret affairs camp was a secret service agency of the Great Wei Dynasty, similar to the role of the National Security Bureau under the Great Yan Imperial Governor's Mansion.
The leader is even the one with a lot of status in the Great Wei Secret Affairs Camp. His name is Li Xuan, a peak monk of Jindan, and he is the deputy envoy of the secret affairs camp of the Great Wei Dynasty, and he is one of the spy leaders of the secret affairs camp, and he has a great reputation in the Great Wei country - although they are not a good reputation, because there are countless people who died tragically in him and the secret affairs camp under him.
It is also worth mentioning that Li Xuan was a die-hard supporter of the Wei general Xia Cang.
And here, in addition to the secret envoy of Wei, there is another person, who is a native of Yan State.
This person wears a white mask with no markings and no facial features.
What they were discussing at the moment was exactly what happened in Yandu before.
One of them said: "Zhao Weiyu, they failed and didn't rescue Li Xuanhao." There is also news that the Zhao family, the Zhang family, and the Guan family will all be extinguished by Zhulian, and Li Xuanhao will also be beheaded for rebellion and treason. β
Another said: "Lu's ...... The determination is very great, it seems that they really have no idea of compromising with the traditional forces of the Yan Kingdom. β
"That's a good thing for us. Li Xuan opened his mouth and said, "Yan Guo, it's going to be chaotic for a while." β
Everyone around them nodded.
One of them said in a regretful tone: "It's a pity that the chaos can't be on the head of the Yunxiao Sect, otherwise, the general will lead his troops to the north again, and he may really be able to achieve the great achievement of destroying a country." β
The faceless man with the white mask was not involved in their discussion. On the contrary, his hands were clenched tightly, which seemed to represent the unrest in his heart at the moment.
As if observing this detail, Li Xuan smiled and said, "Mr. Bai Yuan, don't blame you, it's us who said too much, and we shouldn't have said this in front of you." β
Although the words were apologizing, there was no sincerity.
The person known as Bai Yuan said in a sullen voice: "I don't blame you, the family and country have fallen like this, although you have a share of the credit of the Wei State, but in the final analysis, it is the fault of the Lu family and the Yunxiao Sect." β
"yes. Li Xuan said, "Li Xuanhao didn't escape, what else does Mr. Bai Yuan think?"
"Although the imperial grandson has not been able to escape, and His Majesty's bloodline is trapped in Yandu, we will not give up without face. We are ready to temporarily abandon Yandu and move around the entire territory of Yanguo. Anyone who is released as an official by the Lu family will be killed, those who throw themselves into the Lu family will be killed, and the monks of the Yunxiao Sect will be killed!"
"Mr. Bai Yuan's loyalty, although Li is not a country with you, I have to admire it. β
Li Xuan was in awe, and he didn't know how much was pretended and how much was true.
It's just that Bai Yuan, who is on the other side, doesn't really care much about this.
The person next to him couldn't help but speak: "You will face tremendous pressure from the Lu Clan and the Yunxiao Sect. β
"Act silently, hide your whereabouts, kill invisibly. Bai Yuan said, "Frontal confrontation is not an opponent, and I know it." But we are not without roots in the Yan Kingdom, and many loyal people may not dare to openly oppose the Lu family, but they will also be our help. With their help, it will not be a problem for our people, whether they have information or hide on the spot after they succeed. β
"Okay, I'm relieved to have you say that. On behalf of the Great Wei Secret Camp, I promise to give you the greatest support in terms of human, material and financial resources. If you need to, you know how to contact us. β
"Thank you. β
"To each his own according to his needs. In addition, I would like to remind you that the 20,000 monks in Feiyun Prefecture cannot be stationed in Yandu for a long time. When they withdraw and return to Feiyun Prefecture, Yandu will be empty, and you may not be able to create some incidents in Yandu. β
"You don't need to say that, we know it. β
......
The Lu family did not know for the time being that a secret assembly that was once directly under the emperor was about to evolve into a future terrorist attack organization in the territory of the Great Yan Dynasty.
At present, for the Lu family, the most important thing is to enthrone Zen.
To be honest, three months of preparation time is actually not too long. The preparation of various ceremonies and ceremonies is not very grandiose.
Those retreat things, the Lu family doesn't value very much.
Of course, no matter how you say it, it is much more magnificent than three months ago, when Li Chengzong ascended the throne and succeeded to the throne.
The day before, the news was officially released.
After Li Xuanhao's defection, and for such a long time, all kinds of rumors have spread all over the Yandu, in fact, people who are well-informed know that the matter of Zen concession is inevitable.
Of course, it will be so soon, or it will disrupt the psychological preparation of many people.
But now, no one dares to say anything.
There are still a lot of Li henchmen. The die-hard faction who dared to take his life and his life and stood on the side of the Li royal family, those who were able to jump, when the three major families jumped back and robbed Li Xuanhao, they naturally took action, and then they were liquidated.
The rest of the people either don't have the courage, or they don't have the ability, or they don't have such a firm position.
Three of the four major families that once had a glorious era were already some time ago, because of this incident, all the heads fell to the ground, the blood was full of blood, and the mansions of the three great families were now all white land with no one, so who would dare to jump?
In fact, at the beginning of the Zen ceremonies, the most drastic means is not to come to the court on the same day. When an ostrich has its head buried in the earth, it is good not to see that scene with your own eyes.
In addition, there are even many people who are good at drilling camps, who have recognized the situation at this time and actively strive to lean on the Lu family.
For these, the Lu family also welcomed it with both hands.
The Lu family also understood that it would be too much effort to completely eradicate the imperial court, start anew, and build another court. For opponents, ruthless repression is natural. But there are those who are willing to surrender, and if they give goodwill, they will be able to leave a lot of strength in the following reign.
These officials who were willing to surrender, such as Lu Mingling and Lu Tingchou, their future clan relatives, also met with them in person, and gave some promises with a pleasant face.
And some people with more important positions were even personally received by Lu Chaoxi, the patriarch of the Lu clan and the future Emperor Dayan.
