Chapter 1: Shangzong
In the thirty-sixth year of Wei Wu, Lu Tian led 100,000 elite soldiers to besiege the capital of Cangbei to solve the danger of Wei Wu, but the heavenly soldiers and the imperial capital, twelve iron orders urgently recruited Lu Tian to return to Beijing, all because of a fairy word.
On the eve of Chinese New Year's Eve, the goose feathers and heavy snow drifted, covering the imperial capital, the former prosperous city, but at this moment it looks devastated and scorched, and the collapsed houses are everywhere, and desolation is synonymous with this moment.
The night is getting deeper and deeper, like a giant beast wanting to swallow the world, the cold wind is howling, cold and biting, in the past, I am afraid that there are few people, but at this moment the crowd is crowded, although from time to time tighten the worn cotton jacket on the body, but they have raised their heads to look at the end of the official road, as if waiting for something.
"Do you say that General Lu was really escorted back? How unreasonable!" The voice sighed, coming from the mouth of an old man, adding a few more vicissitudes, although the sentence was short, but it gave people a feeling of heartache.
"If the sky is reasonable, it will not let a group of corrupt officials take charge of the government, and General Lu will end up like this, it's not that God is blind!" The person who answered the handle was obviously an old woman, although everyone was hidden under the night wind and snow, but the anger in her tone was not hidden at all.
In the Forbidden City of Wei Wu, compared with the devastation of the outside world, it seems ironic. On the top of the main hall, there are not many people, only more than ten people sit in columns, but these people are oily and powdery, with big bellies, although they are wearing dragon and phoenix official uniforms, but with a hypocritical smile, from time to time to toast to King Wei Wu who is sitting on the dragon chair.
"Great King, although Lu Tian has merit and attracted the attention of the Shangzong, he indirectly frightened His Majesty and should be beheaded. A minister sitting in the first seat opened his mouth to reveal stained teeth, and his fat face turned upside down, and he toasted and said, wanting to take this opportunity to eradicate Lu Tian's thorn in his eye.
Sitting on the dragon chair, King Wei Wu was not very old, only in his early twenties, he was considered a handsome person, although he did not say a word, but he had the imperial spirit of not being angry and mighty, and these traitorous ministers seemed incompatible, listening to the minister's advice, his brows couldn't help frowning, and he raised his hand and pressed it to signal him to sit down.
The ministers sitting upright were stunned for a moment, then put away the smiles on their faces, and each thought about it in their hearts. In the end, this King Wu of Wei is actually only a puppet, he lost his father since he was a child, and was listened to by the Empress Dowager Xiao, until he was over eighteen, until Lu Tian appeared, it was completely changed, Empress Dowager Xiao retreated power for no reason, the transfer of military power, the complete elimination of the division of princes, and a series of deeds shocked the moths in the court.
In the face of the disparity in strength, although Lu Tian was full of strange plans, but due to the emptiness of the treasury, Lu Tian had to take risks and save Wei, but this also attracted the attention of the enemy country's Lizong Immortal faction, and almost led to the destruction of the country.
"Knock, knock, knock..." The twelve war drums shook people's hearts, not only the faces of the ministers changed suddenly, but even King Wei Wu, who was sitting on the dragon chair, was also shocked, and his eyes were slightly condensed.
"The dragon drum sounds, Shangzong is coming, and Cao Feng, the king of Xuanwei Wu, is here!" The words were like thunder, which shook everyone's ears and buzzed, revealing an irresistible coercion in his tone. The ministers first glanced at each other, and then turned their gazes to Cao Feng, the king of Wei Wu.
"Go out and greet!" Cao Feng didn't stop long, his eyes turned, and he walked away.
Outside the Forbidden City, twelve white-clothed figures stepped into the air, dressed in gorgeous clothes moving with the wind as if they were immortals, and many civilians who came to watch were stunned, and even some ministers who came out to greet them were stunned.
"Xuan Cao Feng!" The words echoed in all directions, endlessly, Cao Feng's eyes, who were originally standing behind the ministers, soared, and when he stepped out, an invisible oppressive force spread out, his hands clenched into fists, and he bowed slightly and said loudly: "The fifth generation of descendants of Wei Wu meet Shangzong!"
"Bold, an ordinary man, why don't you bow down when you meet Shangzong!" The person who announced the meeting was obviously dissatisfied with Cao Feng's behavior, a mortal emperor of a first-class country, who dared to be so arrogant.
The sound of scolding fell, making the ministers tremble, they were greedy for life and afraid of death, they originally held the destruction of the national capital, and abandoned Wei Wu to take refuge in Cangbei, but to their surprise, Shangzong came to quell the war, and now when they heard the scolding, they fell to the ground, counting Cao Feng's disrespect, and there was no hypocrisy just now.
In the face of the betrayal of the ministers, Cao Feng seemed to have expected it, just glanced at it, stepped forward again, and said in a deep voice: "As an emperor, you cultivate the way of the emperor, unless you die, otherwise you will have to grovel there." ”
Cao Feng's meticulous speech obviously made the face of the envoy of the Shangzong who spoke sink, and he was about to start scolding Cao Feng again, but a big man at the head of the team took the lead in reaching out to stop him, and the messenger who was about to attack saw this, although his face was unhappy, but it was not easy to refute, after staring at Cao Feng fiercely, he was silent, and when the big man who was originally blocking his shot saw this, his eyes fell on Cao Feng: "Practicing Qi Sevenfold, as the sect master said, is a talent that can be created!"
The evaluation of the big man made the faces of the ministers suddenly turn blue, and they were still scolding, and their faces were full of horror, this waste is a cultivator, they never thought that mortals and cultivators, life and death are just a thought, of course, they are not only surprised by these ministers, the face of the envoy of the Shangzong who made a sarcastic speech just now is also changed, as a messenger, their cultivation is generally not high, the big man at the head of the team has just broken through the ninth level of qi training, and he has just broken through the seventh level of qi training, which is only considered inferior in the sect.
"However, this doesn't mean that you can let the vain ministers do anything wrong in the mortal world!" Dahan's eyes froze, and he looked at the ministers who were still wagging their tails and begging for mercy, and shouted coldly, and then fell on Cao Feng again: "The sect master intends to settle in Wei Wu, but the premise is that Cao Feng, you abdicate and let Xian, follow me back to the sect to concentrate on cultivation!"
When Cao Feng heard this, his eyes only flickered a few times, and then he replied: "I agree, but I beg to release my righteous brother Lu Tian!"
Listening to Cao Feng's answer, Dahan first showed joy on his face, but when the word Lu Tian fell, his face was obviously gloomy, and the Xuanjian messenger, who had had friction with Cao Feng, saw that the opportunity was rare, and immediately saw the stitches, and with two fingers, the magic trick was recited out, and before everyone came back to their senses, two voices broke through the air and roared, like arrows from the string and went straight to Cao Feng's door.
"Hmph, carving insect skills!" The fierce light skyrocketed, and when he was three feet away from Cao Feng's door, he snorted coldly, and an invisible wall was like a heavenly spine blocking the attack, and when the fierce light landed, he saw that the attacking thing was actually two silver needles.
A failed move, the messenger did not have the intention of giving up, a step forward, out of the crowd, the magic in his hand did not fall, ten fingers flipped and flew, a human head-sized flame condensed out of thin air, the offensive just appeared, the fireball dragged the flame tail to break through the air again.
The fierce offensive did not make Cao Feng's face change, but instead rushed forward head-on, blasting out a punch without any fancy.
"Bang!" The fireball burst out in response, sparks flew in the sky, and the fireball seemed to have not brought the slightest substantial damage to Cao Feng, and dispersed with the wind and snow.
"You!" Feeling Cao Feng's arrogant momentum, he saw that the envoy was speechless for a while, and even forgot the magic trick in his hand to continue twisting, after all, this fire summoning spell was one of the most powerful spells in his hand.
"Twelve, stop! He wants us to let Lu Tianke go, but the national promotion qualification will be cancelled, and as for the bastard boy who dares to flirt with the young master's fiancée, it will be left to the young master to deal with!" Dahan reached out again to stop the Xuanjian messenger, and said in a gloomy warning tone, revealing a deep dissatisfaction between the lines.
Cao Feng hesitated for a while, he had been planning for so long, waiting for the opportunity for the country's promotion, as long as the country reached the second level, he could contact the cultivation of immortals and pursue immortality, but Lu Tian He couldn't let it go, on the one hand, he was immortal, and on the other hand, he was a brother, this choice was probably difficult!
"Cao Feng, quickly give us a choice, and wait for us to explain to Shangzong!" The big man was obviously not as stupid as his appearance, and seeing that Cao Feng looked hesitant, he immediately stepped forward and continued to make a sound*.
"Haha, I'm Lu Tian with my head on the sky, my feet on the ground, I need you to put it there!" A figure appeared on the glazed tiles of the Forbidden City without warning, and the arrogant laughter instantly made everyone find its traces, the person who came was not short, only about one point eight, but he was wearing gold chain mail, and his body was more or less stained with bright red blood.
"You!" Everyone present was shocked to see Lu Tian who appeared at the scene, according to military regulations, Lu Tian, who was recalled by the Twelve Iron Orders, should be escorted back by Shangzong, although in the eyes of everyone, this Lu Tian can also be regarded as a worldly master, but this is an escape from the hands of Shangzong, if you don't see it with your own eyes, I'm afraid it's hard to believe!
