Chapter 285: The Storm looms
readx;? The days quickly slipped by, and after a thriving crowd of gift-givers, after the Spring Festival broke through the threshold, spring fell again in the compound of Jinyiwei. www.biquge.info Although the weather is still cold, the snow has not yet melted, but those brocade guards with thick bodies and strong internal strength can't wait to change into jackets and take off their heavy cotton jackets.
A hot smell had already begun to fill the air, and business on the Qintan River had suddenly doubled. The boys who have been bored at home for a winter poured out the little energy that they had easily cultivated after eating various supplements in the winter, and poured all of it into those singers. From time to time there was a singing voice on the wide river, but their ultimate goal was only to get a spring breeze with the girl with the red card.
Lu Feng sat on the branch of a big willow tree on the shore, looking at the excited men and women on the painting boats from afar. I picked a little bud from the branches that passed by, and the pale yellow-green almost transparent bud gave off an alluring fresh fragrance. "Well, spring has arrived, no wonder all these men and women are spring. Pouting, Lu Feng shouted to the area around the fish pond in the yard to change the water: "Give me the cats who are watching the house for half the night, and the three watches are called spring to make people upset!"
Zhou Shi raised two black and muddy hands, wiped his hands on the brocade-clothed Wei Baihu with a wry smile on his face, and strode out. The secret headquarters of this brocade guard is not at ease to hire those florists, handymen or anything, and everything must be done by these brocade guards. It's also a helpless thing to this once in a while. And Lu Feng's excuse for wanting them to participate in the work is even more sufficient: "As a cultivator, if you are more close to this nature, how can you comprehend the truth of this heaven and earth?"
His hands rubbed his face, and he looked around in the big yard. Lu Feng, who was busy pruning, cultivating soil, fertilizing, and watering those flowers and trees, nodded and smiled with satisfaction: "But isn't it, who has ever seen a housekeeper in the immortal mansion who invited a large number of votes? Those immortals who want to drink water are all picked by themselves in the stream below the mountain...... Looking at those cultivators who are planting a herb and doing it themselves? You bastards can't make it too easy for you. ”
Stretched out his hand and folded a willow branch the thickness of his thumb, a wisp of sword qi shot out from his fingertips, and made a willow flute very casually, and Lu Feng sat on the branch of the tree and blew it up. At his feet, the blue waves rippled. There were several birds flying in the sky, and the breeze was blowing. It's a little bit of a birth.
Footsteps sounded, and Lu An walked over quickly, and whispered: "Shizun has a very strange thing. ”
Lu Feng put down the willow flute in his hand and asked indifferently: "What's the matter? weird, where is the weird?"
Lu An whispered: "An envoy team has come from the Western Regions, saying that it is more Western than the Western Regions, and the legendary Great Moon Clan is from the country. They arrived in Shaanxi a month and a half ago. Because the snow has not melted, the road is difficult to travel, and now it is the right day. Lu An smiled and said: "It's strange to say, there are only about 20 people in the envoy group, but one by one, they are very arrogant. It is clear that they are asking us for help when they have something, but now it is as if we are begging them in the Ming Dynasty. ”
Lu Feng dropped the willow flute and jumped off the branch, and asked with great interest: "Where are they now?"
Lu An smiled: "They have been brought into the palace by order of His Majesty. It is estimated that His Majesty will send someone to summon the ministers to enter the court in a while. He took out a thick notebook from his sleeve and said with a smile: "This is what this envoy group has done and said since they entered our Ming territory. Whatever we can understand is written down. You see if it works. ”
Lu Feng flipped through the book, nodded approvingly, and said, "Hmm, the leader of the guard over there is General Xiao, just give him a note." Don't carry your horses, and I'll take you into the palace. Lu Feng showed a strange smile and smiled strangely: "Let's also go and meet the people of the Dayue Clan who have been handed down from the Tang Dynasty to see if they are really Fangs!"
When the Jinyi Guard Brigade rushed to the palace, the little eunuch of the herald also arrived. I saw carriages coming out of the avenue, all of which were civil and military ministers rushing to the palace. Zhang Yu rode on a horse and took dozens of guards to turn out of the roadside fork in the road, and when he saw Lu Feng and them coming, he hesitated for a moment, Zhang Yu bowed his hand on the horse, and showed a smile. Lu Feng also replied with a smile, and the two deliberately kept the distance between the teams.
On the palace hall, Zhu Di sat on the dragon chair with a sinking face, and a line of more than two dozen people with yellow, or red eyes, or blue or green, or one blue and one green, and generally more than half a head taller than the nearby guards and others stood in the center of the main hall. The one with a pair of different colors of eyes was a strange old man with white skin and a beard that was four feet long, but extremely thin. He was holding an extremely long wooden cane that was one end higher than the top of his head, standing in front of Zhu Di with a serious face, babbling in his mouth, not knowing what to say. As for the rest of the envoys, most of them were old men with dark faces, all of them were so thin that the wind could blow them away. A handful of young people were clearly led by a tall, handsome young man with a blond, blue-eyed complexion, standing beside these old fellows, forming a group of their own.
Soon, the ministers of civil and military affairs stood in shifts, and they all looked curiously at these exotic people with strange faces and dresses. Hu Shang: They have seen a lot, but this is really the first time they have seen the official envoys. Lu Feng stood under Zhang Yu, a pair of thief eyes glanced at these envoys fiercely, except for the very weak and strange mana fluctuations on these old guys, they didn't show much vision, and they didn't pay attention to it immediately.
The mana fluctuations on these old guys are about a condensation period monk. There was an ordinary flying sword that could kill them, and Lu Feng didn't bother to do it because they spent a lot of brains. Just these foreign mages are not in Lu Feng's eyes. Even the row of seven Dragon and Tiger Mountain Yellow-robed Heavenly Masters standing behind Zhu Di was full of indifference. They were more interested in the young men, and some of them looked at their slender and odd-shaped swords, and at the same time kept looking at the sword they wore at their waists, as if they were making comparisons.
Seeing the civil and military ministers coming in, Zhu Di suddenly laughed: "Everyone, these are the Lu ...... in the West Lu ......" he coughed a little embarrassed.
An interpreter of the envoy hurriedly said, "Duchy of Luxembourg." ”
Zhu Di hurriedly smiled: "That's right, Luxembourg...... Principalities! Hmph, these are the Grand Dukes of their country......"
The interpreter nodded and explained to these high-ranking officials and dignitaries of the Ming Dynasty: "It is their country's land...... The emperor is the emperor. But there are people above them who are bigger than their emperors...... This their emperor is in a larger country. It's just a ...... Duke to duke. The duchy is the duke's country, and the ......" this Hu interpreter didn't know how to explain it, so he stammered and couldn't speak clearly.
Hubu Shangshu said with a smile: "So that's the case, their western country is still our former national system. Each prince has its own kingdom...... Well, this system is not conducive to the rule of the imperial dynasty, but the Central Plains has not been divided into princes for more than a thousand years. The ministers nodded at the same time, saying that it was the generals, but fortunately, the ministers were remorseful in their hearts, and they were robbed of the limelight by this old man.
Zhu Di nodded and said with a smile: "Their Grand Duke sent them over to say that several of their countries want to ally with our Ming Dynasty to attack the Golden Horde from east to west. He said that the Golden Horde had extorted against them. They are already determined to rebel. They also secretly formed an alliance against the Golden Horde, and the leader of the alliance was their emperor of a country called Farland, who wanted us to join the alliance. Zhu Di smiled. His face suddenly changed, and he shouted in a deep voice: "Well, with the national strength of my Ming Dynasty, I still want to serve you as the leader of the alliance?"
What kind of skill did Zhu Di have at this time? He had been cultivating the cultivation mantra that Lu Feng had given him for several months, plus the huge amount of true qi that he had been immersed in the innate realm for decades, and all the inner true qi in his body had been transformed into the true essence of the monk, and even that true yuan had a tendency to condense. At this time, he shouted like a thunderbolt sounding in the hall, and the civil and military ministers of the Ming Dynasty had nothing to do, but those envoys were happy.
The old men's bodies flashed with a 'bang' of light, covering their whole bodies together, and their bodies trembled like chaff for a long time, and then they stabilized their bodies with a pale face. The few young people who were originally looking at Lu Feng with care were shocked, screaming miserably, and hurriedly retreated more than a dozen steps back. They shook and looked like they were about to fall to the ground.
The murderous aura cultivated by Zhu Di's body after decades of killing was unabashedly released, and by Zhu Di's huge murderous aura, Zhang Yu, Lu Feng, and Neng's younger brother Jian'an, Li Jinglong, and even a few Wenchen with advanced cultivation, such as Ru Taisu, they also released their strongest momentum unceremoniously. The monk Daoyan smiled lightly, his eyes were closed, but there was also a huge energy like a black hole gushing out of his body.
All the coercion was pressed towards the group of black-robed old men, and the Hu man understood a miserable scream, hugged his head, and knelt on the ground, and howled miserably: "Your Majesty has nothing to do with the villain, the villain is the interpreter invited by them for a hundred gold coins, ah......" The powerful aura formed a black mist in the air, like an angry dragon flying in the hall, so he couldn't help but be afraid.
Those old men were also trembling violently, and the light on their bodies flashed one after another, but they were shattered one by one. The old guy with two-colored eyes screamed, and a dazzling green light appeared on the top of the long wooden staff, and the wooden staff exploded to smithereens, but the green light barely tore through the huge momentum.
Zhu Di nodded, and said in a long voice: "Well, you also have a little ability, although I have released my own murderous aura, but if you can break through the aura formed by the murderous aura of me and your Qing family, it is your fate...... Go back and tell your emperor that I am either the leader of the alliance. The East and West will attack the Golden Horde, or you will fight your land, and we will wait until you are done fighting. Zhu Di smiled proudly: "With the strength of the whole country, I can annihilate the Golden Horde and the remnants of Yuan and Meng. Why do I need to join forces with you?" the tall young man who had been shaken back stepped forward a few steps angrily and stammered a few words. The Hu interpreter hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, Count Edward, said that they have an elite knight order of 40,000 in the French Empire, and such a military strength is unparalleled in the world, alas, they should be the leader of the alliance." This is something that the thirty-five empires and principalities of the alliance have promised, especially with the papal blessing of the Holy See. To resist the evil invasion of the Golden Horde, they ......"
The courtiers of the Ming Dynasty had extremely strange faces, and Zhu Di looked at them with a smile. Gradually, Zhu Di and all the civil and military officials laughed wildly. Zhu Di gasped and laughed violently: "Everyone's family...... They. They had 40,000 cavalry...... Hahaha, unparallel......ed in the world? Eh, it's really Yoro's arrogance. I don't know how many heroes there are in the world...... Eh, 40,000 cavalry!"
These envoys didn't know what Zhu Di was laughing at, but it was obvious that Zhu Di didn't take them to heart. The Earl Edward roared angrily, and the Hu Ren interpreter also said with a strange face: "Eh, Count Edward said that the knights of their empire are all powerful warriors with strong combat effectiveness. So their Knights are invincible...... Eh...... "This interpreter knows how much he knows the strength of these countries, and the more he speaks, the quieter his voice becomes." At the end of the day, I couldn't speak.
Lu Feng walked out with a smile and saluted Zhu Di: "Your Majesty, this Earl said that their knights are all powerful warriors, presumably this Earl should also be a master?" Lu Feng smiled very maliciously, his eyes were full of evil anger, and he was almost about to show his two fangs. Hu Rentong's translator whispered next to him and translated all the dialogues between the monarch and the minister.
Zhu Di smiled knowingly and leaned forward slightly, and said, "Then why should the Lu Qing family ask the earl for advice? The room was full of laughter.
The Earl of Edward trembled with rage when he heard the translation, and he drew his slender sword. The interpreter immediately exclaimed, "Count Edward challenges this general...... Count Edward is the deputy head of the Holy Order, and he is also a well-known knight in the whole West, and his strength can be ranked in the top 30. ”
Monk Daoyan laughed in a low voice: "Hehe, General Lu is really too childlike, what are such rough people still teasing them?" Alas, since you want to make a move, it is better not to keep it!" Monk Daoyan looked at Count Edward's eyes as if he was looking at a dead man. He lamented in his heart: "Sure enough, the people of Fanbangyi don't know who you are challenging against." If you want to say that Lu Feng has already cultivated into a golden pill, even if his original martial arts are full of martial arts, he can make you squirt teeth!" Monk Daoyan always thought that Lu Feng was just a golden pill.
There was nothing to say, and the two of them stood face to face on the main hall, and when Count Edward had just raised his hand, Lu Feng had already appeared in front of him like a ghost, and an inch punch hit him an inch below his ribs. The force of the impact caused the Earl to howl with his mouth wide open, and then he fell to the sky. Lu Feng picked up his long sword and broke it off with his fingers one by one.
Those young people were still full of annoyance when they saw Lu Feng suddenly knock Edward down with a punch, but when they saw Lu Feng's two fingers like a vice, the long sword was so easily divided into pieces, and they immediately showed an extremely terrifying appearance. They looked at Lu Feng's burly and tall figure, and their faces were already a little blue.
Zhu Di snorted disdainfully: "This is considered the top thirty masters? Are you joking with me? A country with only 40,000 cavalry wants to be my alliance leader." A waste who is not even a second-rate master in the rivers and lakes, is it their deputy commander, what are you kidding?" Shaking his head, Zhu Di completely lost interest in this alliance, and he sighed: "That's it, after all, we are the upper kingdom of the Celestial Empire, so we don't have to bully them." Tell them about the alliance, and just entertain them. ”
After a pause, Zhu Di smiled and said: "Let them have a good look at the strength of my Ming Dynasty, save them from the frog at the bottom of the well, but they are presumptuous in front of us...... Hehe, today is labor, your Qing family was originally no big deal, but I took it as a big thing. But it's nice to be able to watch a good show...... Lu Qing's family, wait for you, go to Manager Lu yourself, and withdraw the usual big money. It's only worth a lot of money to defeat this reckless man. ”
