Volume 1 The Characters of the Capital Chapter 11 Encountering an ambush
What's more, His Majesty is very familiar with Lu Bai's situation, and it seems that he has not paid a lot of attention to Lu Bai over the years, and maybe there is His Majesty's eyeliner in Lumen Temple.
"Although it is difficult to run a government-run college, it can be carried out on a small scale and internally, which can be regarded as preparation for the future. Lu Bai continued.
"Presumably, Your Majesty will be very pleased to know your Excellency's thoughts, as for the Military Academy, it depends on how determined Your Majesty is......"
He Wenchang is like a completely changed person at this moment, and he is no longer like the cowardly appearance before, which made Lu Bai a little surprised, and for a while he couldn't tell which one was He Wenchang's true colors.
But based on this alone, it can be seen that He Wenchang is not only talented but also quite capable in other aspects.
Lu Bai entered Beijing this time to first go to Xiangyang City at the foot of the mountain, go south along the Han River, until the confluence of the Han River and the river, and continue to take a boat down the river in the territory of Qiyue City, going east for thousands of miles in one day, and then taking a carriage to the south, which will take three days to reach the capital.
It didn't take long for Lu Bai and his entourage to arrive at Xiangyang Wharf, although it was said that Lu Bai could go directly to Hanshui from the west of Lumen Mountain, but they were a group of hundreds of people, and it was impossible for ordinary small boats to accommodate so many people, only large merchant ships and even official ships of Xiangyang could accommodate so many people.
And Lu Bai is now also a dignified deputy envoy of the Privy Council, so he naturally went south on an official ship.
It is said that Lu Bai was rescued by Zhuang Yi on the edge of the Han River back then, and now that he sees the Han River again, he can't help but feel a little more emotional.
His mother Bai Yu was dirty on the bank of the Han River, and now he has embarked on a trip to the Han River to meet his father, whom he has never met.
Lu Bai also wanted to know what kind of man could win the heart of a peerless beauty like his mother, especially Zhuang Yi, a rival in the Jindan realm.
Although Zhuang Yi is now the identity of the Prajna Zen Master and the first person in Buddhism today, Zhuang Yi doesn't care so much, he doesn't like the rules and precepts of Buddhism very much, and he was not a monk originally, but he was unlucky to be reincarnated into the body of the Prajna Zen Master.
Now look at the Zen Master of Pranya, where is there the appearance of a half-point monk, it is obviously a personable old bacon, but the pursuit of Bai Yu is really a suspicion of some old cows eating tender grass.
Bai Yu was blind to choose the bad old man of Zen Master Praruo, not to mention that Buddhism and the demon clan were originally at odds, so Zhuang Yi could only be secretly sad and silently paid for Bai Yu, but unfortunately he still failed to save Bai Yu in the end.
Thinking about it, he Zhuang Yi is only about the same age as Lu Bai, but unfortunately he has become an old man, look at Lu Bai, he will really be reincarnated and choose a newborn baby.
However, since Zhuang Yi stepped into the realm of Jindan, he has been much younger than before, which has made Zhuang Yi more attentive to cultivation, and at the same time, he has been looking for drugs that can rejuvenate his face for so many years, and even refining the rejuvenating pill that often appears in novels.
This is also one of the reasons why Zhuang Yi is always elusive.
Independent bow, this is the first time Lu Bai has left Xiangyang City, he is also very curious about the outside world, he wants to know how big the gap between this bizarre world and the world he lived in before, and how different this world is from the ancient times of his world.
It's just that the outside world was too dangerous for him before, but now, he has half a foot in the realm of foundation building, and he can be regarded as having some self-preservation.
"What is Lord Lu thinking?" He Wenchang walked out of the cabin.
"The road is long, I will go up and down and seek. Lu Bai was still staring at the river, and the boat had already rowed past the section of his mother's grave, this sentence was full of Lu Bai's fear of the unknown dangers of this unknown world, but for an astronaut, seeking is also the brightest light in life.
"The road is long, I will go up and down and seek?"
He Wenchang kept repeating what Lu Bai said, the more he tasted it, the more shocked he became, Lu Bai's situation at this time was completely reflected in this sentence.
"I didn't expect that Lord Lu was not only strong in cultivation, but also outstanding in writing. ”
This time, He Wenchang admired Lu Bai even more.
Lu Bai, young, with the two bloodlines of the Liang royal family and the demon white fox, has terrifying talents, profound cultivation, insight into the world without going out, and has outstanding literary talents, which can be described as both civil and military.
There are only a few people in this world who can reach the point of Lu Bai.
It's a pity that in addition to these, there are some deeper things that He Wenchang can't experience and can't understand, for this world, Lu Bai has always been an outsider, but now there is no place in this world that can make Lu Bai feel at home.
In this world, so far only Zhuang Yi is his companion.
Although the Fox Emperor of the White Fox Clan is his grandfather, and the Emperor of Liang is his biological father, all the family affection in this world has nothing to do with him.
Lu Bai did not return to He Wenchang's words, but observed the two sides of the river, the terrain here is steeper than other places, and the water flow is more rapid, but in the air, Lu Bai seems to smell a trace of danger.
This comes from the intuition of his demon bloodline.
"What's wrong? Lord Lu. ”
He Wenchang also sensed that something was wrong with Lu Bai.
"Maybe I'm too sensitive! But let's call the wolf guard to be ready at all times! This place is very suitable for ambushes, and if it were me, I would definitely choose to ambush this place in the afternoon. ”
Lu Bai was silent for a while before reminding He Wenchang. When he wears this one, he has the highest cultivation and the strongest insight.
If there is really an ambush here, the other party has already learned the news from the time they left the Xiangyang dock or even before they left, and reacted quickly in a short time.
Then the real culprit behind the scenes must have a very strong private armed force, and even hold military power.
But before He Wenchang could return to the cabin, a rain of arrows fell from the sky, which was tantamount to a life-and-death crisis for He Wenchang, but for a cultivator like Lu Bai who had half one foot in the foundation building realm, it was impossible to make a great threat at all, especially since it was still so far away.
"The wolf guards are all on alert. Although Lu Bai's voice was not loud, he was extremely far away.
He Wenchang was also pale at this time, but he didn't expect that the matter was really said right by Lu Bai, and he acted extremely quickly.
Soon after the end of the first round of arrow rain, the second round of arrow rain immediately began again, but compared to the first round, this time the arrow was even larger, half the thickness of the hilt, and then looked closely, it turned out to be a crossbow arrow, and it was a heavy crossbow.
The impact of those crossbow arrows was extremely amazing, and soon the deck was pierced by this giant crossbow arrow, but this official ship is a double deck, and it will not leak for a short time, but if it is a long time, I am afraid it is difficult to guarantee that it will not sink.
"My lord, this heavy crossbow can only be possessed by the military! It seems that the person behind it is either the military, or he has a close relationship with the military, and the weapon is used for private purposes, this is a big rebellion!"
These heavy crossbows even Lu Bai need to dodge, although being hit does not cause great damage to Lu Bai, but it is also very lethal, even if you use the palm of your hand to carry it, you will feel that your arm is numb, and the power condensed in the palm of your hand will soon be dissipated by the terrifying impact.
Even Lu Bai was like this, not to mention those Qi Condensation Realm cultivators, it wouldn't take long to see this.
"Everyone, get into the cabin. ”
Although the wolf guard came to protect himself, he couldn't let them sacrifice their lives in vain because of himself, so he hid in the cabin with the wolf guard.
Although the cabin was not able to withstand the heavy crossbows for long, it could give the wolf guard a respite.
These heavy crossbows were basically equivalent to mortars in this era, and even the cultivators of the Condensation Realm couldn't resist a few times.
Soon, the entire cabin was smashed through the heavy crossbows, and then the cabin began to crumble until it collapsed, and everyone was exposed to the heavy crossbows again.
In the face of the dense heavy crossbows, it was impossible for Lu Bai to completely stop them, there were always a few crossbow arrows that hit his body-protecting true qi, setting off bursts of energy fluctuations.
What's more, when Lu Bai's body protection true qi was hit by the crossbow arrow, he felt an inexplicable danger, and then an arrow broke through the air, Lu Bai didn't have time to react at all, and shot at his body protection true qi in an instant.
This is an extremely unusual arrow, and the archer is also a divine archer whose strength has reached at least the peak of the Innate Realm.
This arrow was terrifying, and in the end, it broke through Lu Bai's body protection true qi and directly sank into Lu Bai's shoulder.
Lu Bai didn't expect that in addition to the heavy crossbows in the army, there were such powerful archers, it seems that the people behind it really wanted to kill him, even at such a huge cost.
"Dive in and hide under the boat. ”
Lu Bai knew very well that that sharpshooter had the ability to kill him from a distance of thousands of meters, and if he stayed and put it on, he would only become a live target for the other party.
After being injured, Lu Bai jumped directly into the water and hid under the boat with the others. For those Qi Condensation Realm cultivators, holding their breath for ten minutes was not a problem, but He Wenchang was just an ordinary person.
Lu Bai needed to expend a lot of strength to support the Creation Golden Lotus, which shrouded He Wenchang's head and ensured him with enough oxygen.
And the official ship above their heads was also pierced by the heavy crossbow, and the river began to pour in, and gradually wanted to sink into the water.
"We can't stay here, we have to swim downstream along the river, this is not far from the city of the moon, let's meet there. ”
Although Lu Bai used his true qi to transmit sounds, the range in the water was extremely limited, and many people could not convey it, but as many people followed Lu Bai to swim downstream, many people followed the large army.
