Chapter 378 Forming a New Army

Ning Fengzhi called someone directly and took Xiao Wu down.

At the same time, he also said, "Treat this lady the same as Miss Liu Erlong."

"Yes, Sect Master!" The two elders immediately understood and came directly to Xiao Wu, stretched out their hands and said, "Miss Xiao Wu, please come this way."

Both elders are at Soul King level, so it may be a little difficult to look after Xiao Wu, who is also at Soul King level.

However, you must know that this is the Qibao Glazed Sect!

If Xiao Wu dared to resist, countless masters from the outer sect of the Seven Treasures Glazed Sect would jump out in an instant and easily restrain her.

And what Ning Fengzhi just said, arranging her to have the same treatment as Liu Erlong, actually means that in addition to enjoying the same accommodation and food and clothing as Liu Erlong, the person who looks after her must also be on the same level as Liu Erlong!

Liu Erlong is the Soul Saint!

The masters of Qibao Glazed Sect who usually look after Liu Erlong are at least five soul saints. This also means that the personnel who look after Xiao Wu, who is only a soul master of the soul king level, must also be at least several soul saints.

At this time, Xiao Wu could hardly fly.

What also makes Lu Yuan sigh is that in the original text, Xiao Wu recognized Liu Erlong as his godmother, but now both his godmother and goddaughter are in jail in the Qibao Glazed Sect.

All I can say is that fate is... wonderful.

After taking Xiao Wu down, Ning Fengzhi continued to look at Lu Yuan, "Xiao Yuan and Uncle Gu came back just now. They must have passed the city gate, right?"

"Yes, Grandpa Bone and I both came back from the gate in a fair manner." Lu Yuan nodded.

In fact, Bone Douluo has the ability to travel through space, so they don't need others to give them permission to return to Tiandou City. As long as Lu Yuan wants to, they can directly return to the Seven Treasures Glazed Sect without anyone noticing.

But out of consideration, he decided to walk in through the city gate openly.

The consideration in this is naturally because...

"Very good." Ning Fengzhi showed a satisfied smile, "Now your Majesty must have known that you have returned to Tiandou City."

"The next struggle in the Imperial City will be no easier than your trip to the Star Dou Forest."

"It is precisely because I know this that I asked Grandpa Bone to come back directly without using his abilities. Next, His Majesty and His Highness the Crown Prince's trust in us is very important." Lu Yuan nodded and said.

"Especially His Majesty's trust. Qinghe is always on our side. There is no need to worry too much about this." Ning Fengzhi said with a smile, "Our opponents are only Prince Xuexing and the fourth prince Xuebeng, so we should be careful. That Blue Lightning Overlord Sect is at odds with us.”

"He's just a clown." Lu Yuan chuckled.

He has never paid much attention to Xue Beng and Xue Xing, although it turns out that they won the final victory in the plot, Xue Beng was crowned emperor, and Xue Xing also won a great victory.

But that was because of Tang San's contribution, and also because Qian Renxue was too impatient.

Even if Qian Renxue is not in a hurry, she will wait until Emperor Xue Ye passes away a few years later when there is no cure, then he will ascend the throne as a matter of course, and then use his name to kill Xue Beng and Xue Xing.

At that time, no one could stop her from moving forward.

Of course, there is actually a reason why Qian Renxue was so anxious in the original plot.

One of the reasons was naturally her own. She had spent so long in the Tiandou Empire, so she was naturally anxious.

The second was the pressure on her from Bibi Dong. Bibi Dong was impatient for some reason at that time and insisted on starting the unified plan for domination in advance. As a result, Qian Renxue had to take action at that time.

This was also the disadvantage that Lu Yuan was worried about when he first considered whether to enter the Wuhun Hall after awakening the Wuhun.

Wuhundian itself is not unified internally, and the two major factions it has derived are even in tit-for-tat opposition, holding each other back.

If someone like Lu Yuan, who wants to get in with no background and no strength, can only follow the orders of those in Wuhun Hall?

After all, Wuhun Palace is not the Qibao Glazed Sect. The Qibao Glazed Sect relies heavily on outside genius soul masters because its direct disciples are all auxiliary soul masters.

This is almost impossible in the Wuhun Palace. Even twin martial souls will be restricted by the struggle between the two major factions.

That's the worst thing.

Even someone with a strong background like Qian Renxue was influenced by that crazy woman Bibi Dong. She forced herself to take a different approach and launched a mutiny in the palace. Then her identity was revealed and the matter was exposed.

So what can Lu Yuan do?

So for now, every step Lu Yuan takes is correct.

Now Qian Renxue should reach that point sooner or later. That is inevitable, so it is inevitable that Xue Beng will win in the end.

But Lu Yuan was not afraid at all. Guys who win by luck have nothing to be afraid of.

Xue Beng cannot continue to force his luck forever, Lu Yuan will be the one who laughs in the end!

"It's best to have such confidence, but we also have to be cautious." Ning Fengzhi said with a smile.

"Dad, I understand this very well." Lu Yuan nodded.

"Okay, it's getting late. His Majesty knows that you have returned to Tiandou City, so we have to go to the palace now." Ning Fengzhi said.

"You must not tell anything about Xiao Wu." He paused and then said, "The temptation of a hundred thousand year soul beast is too great. If it is exposed, I am afraid it will lead to trouble."

In the past, the Haotian Sect suffered heavy casualties because Tang Hao protected Ah Yin, a hundred thousand year old soul beast, and then was surrounded by the Wuhun Palace. Finally, he led troops to the door, causing the Haotian Sect to suffer heavy casualties. There is a lesson learned here, and Ning Fengzhi naturally did not dare to be careful. main idea.

"I'm afraid Wuhun Palace can't hide it, but they shouldn't expose this matter easily." Lu Yuan said, "Even if they use this matter to threaten us to hand over Xiao Wu, when we are in danger, we can first Execute Xiao Wu in one step!"

Speaking of this, his eyes flashed with sharpness and determination.

He didn't have any hesitation or intolerance about executing Xiao Wu, as if he was talking about slaughtering livestock.

But after hearing this, Ning Rongrong bit her lip, as if she couldn't bear it.

After all, Xiao Wu looks like a girl about her age, so it's normal for her to be a little intolerant.

But now she also knows very well that this is not a matter of tolerance, it is related to the interests and safety of the sect and Lu Yuan.

Given the overall situation, it was impossible for her to bring harm to the sect because of her own intolerance.

"If things come to that point, we have no choice but to do that." Ning Fengzhi nodded, and then said firmly, "By then, the soul rings and soul bones will be absorbed by Xiao Yuanqi!"

"Yeah." Lu Yuan also nodded.

He had actually thought of these things for a long time. He knew very well that the Wuhun Palace had always wanted to attack the Blue Lightning Overlord Sect and the Qibao Glazed Sect, such as the soul hunting operation in the original plot.

But at the time of the soul hunting operation, the Wuhun Palace came in secret because they really couldn't find any legitimate reason.

But it's different now. Wuhun Palace can pin Tang Hao's past crimes on Lu Yuan and Qibao Glazed Sect, and then launch a soul hunting operation.

At that time, Wuhundian's actions will be justified.

Of course, Lu Yuan couldn't let Wuhun Palace succeed. After all, the Qibao Glazed Sect was his foundation in the future. How could he let Wuhun Palace get what he wanted?

…

The sunshine approaching noon was shining in the Great Meeting Hall. At this time, the Great Meeting Hall had already gathered the civil and military officials of the Tiandou Empire and many great nobles.

Lu Yuan, Ning Fengzhi and Bone Douluo came to the main hall and saluted Emperor Xueye who was sitting high above them. Emperor Xueye asked with a smile, "It seems that the trip went very smoothly, Marquis Tianying."

"Your Majesty, His Highness the Crown Prince is blessed." Lu Yuan smiled slightly, saluted Emperor Xue Ye and Qian Renxue beside him, and said, "This trip is finally safe. I have talked with the two supreme beings of the Star Dou Forest. Well, humans and spirit beasts have returned to peace once again, turning hostilities into friendship."

"That's good, that's good." Emperor Xueye chuckled, feeling much more at ease.

Now, as Emperor Tiandou, when faced with the tide of soul beasts, his first thought was actually to resolve this disaster.

As for suppressing Lu Yuan and the Qibao Glazed Sect, these are matters much lower in priority than dealing with the tide of soul beasts.

After all, what he has to consider is the interests of the entire empire. If the Tiandou Empire is hit by the wave of soul beasts and causes huge losses, then he will suffer heavy losses.

Any party disputes or political turmoil will come later.

But others didn't think so. Prince Xuexing, who had been waiting for a long time, stood up at this time.

"I would like to ask Tianyinghou how you solved this problem." He asked coldly.

"Naturally, the two soul beast supremes understand with reason and move with emotion." Lu Yuan pondered for a while, then said with a smile.

"To understand by reason, to move with emotion?" Xue Xing snorted coldly, "How can those beasts understand this?"

"That's wrong." Ning Fengzhi squinted his eyes at this moment, his gold glasses reflecting the dazzling light in the midday sun.

He smiled and said, "Maybe the prince doesn't know that the wisdom of a ten-thousand-year-old spirit beast is no less than that of a five-year-old child, and the wisdom of a hundred-thousand-year-old spirit beast is as intelligent as that of a human being. Last time I I think you have said this, right? Was the Prince here at the time?"

Ning Fengzhi's words were a subtle mockery of Xue Xing's low cultivation level. He didn't even know the common sense of soul beasts. Later, he even mocked him for being deaf. He didn't hear what Ning Fengzhi said in the court last time. .

Prince Xuexing looked ugly, but he still said, "Of course I know, but is the Soul Beast Supreme so easy to talk to?"

"So I asked Senior Bone Douluo to go with me on this trip, right?" Lu Yuan said with a smile.

Bone Douluo snorted coldly at this time, and the huge titled Douluo pressed directly towards Prince Snow Star, causing him to almost stumble and fall.

"What? Do you think my cultivation is not enough?" Bone Douluo looked at him indifferently and said.

Everyone else in the court, including Emperor Xue Ye and Prince Xue Xing, didn’t know much about the two supreme soul beasts, the Azure Bull Python and the Titan Ape. Naturally, they didn’t know the difference between the Azure Ox Python and the Titan Ape. strength.

In addition, Bone Douluo is a veteran titled Douluo and has a long-standing reputation in Tiandou City, so those who don't know, really don't think that the supreme strength of the two great soul beasts must be higher than Bone Douluo.

Could it be that it was because of Bone Douluo's strength that the two so-called supreme beings gave in?

"I don't dare... I don't dare, this junior." Prince Snow Star said with a cold sweat on his face.

The strength and status of Bone Douluo were even far above that of Poison Douluo. The Tiandou royal family did not even dare to offend Poison Douluo, let alone Bone Douluo.

"Those two were also afraid of dying together with us, so they agreed." Lu Yuan stood up at the right moment and said with a smile.

"Father!" At this time, Qian Renxue also jumped out when he saw the opportunity, "Such a great achievement as Marquis Tianying must be rewarded. This trip is extremely thrilling. If you don't reward me, I'm afraid that the empire will attract criticism from others and say that the empire rewards and punishes you." He is partial and does not distinguish between sycophants and loyalties."

"Yes." Emperor Xueye nodded, but he thought for a while and said, "Tianyinghou has made great contributions to saving the country, so he should..."

He "should" think about it for a long time, but he never said the reason. After all, Lu Yuan seemed to be rewarded again, and his favor was too generous.

This contribution to saving the country, plus the fact that Lu Yuan was originally a Marquis of the Empire and was being rewarded again, could it be that he wanted to be crowned king and break the earth?

Now it's not like the original plot where the Emperor on a Snowy Night left Tang San alone. In that situation, Tang San's transformation from a white body to an imperial prince was really nothing to do.

But that’s not the case now!

"Your Majesty, why don't you allow me to create a new army?" At this time, Lu Yuan said, "I am willing to train a new army to defend the empire and your Majesty's territory!"

Emperor Xue Ye's face softened slightly at this time. It was obvious that Lu Yuan's initiative to ask for a reward was deeply appreciated by him.

Moreover, Lu Yuan's newly trained army, according to the empire's tradition, recruits soldiers from the nobles' own fiefdoms. There is no need for the empire to dispatch or recruit soldiers for this purpose.

It's just that the salary and food distributed by the army must be allocated by the empire, but this is nothing.

Compared with conscription and training, giving money is not a big deal.

Moreover, the salary and rations provided by the empire to the major titled legions are not very high. Like the Xuanwu Army and the Liehuo Army, the families of the Marquis of Xuanwu and the Marquis of Liehuo have to fund their own troops.

But the titled legion must be formed with the emperor's order.

Under the current situation, forming a new army for Lu Yuan would make Emperor Xue Ye feel more at ease than asking Lu Yuan to become a king and crack the earth.

"But you are still the general of the Royal Knights, shouldering the responsibility of protecting the prince..." Emperor Xueye said with a frown.

He didn't really want Lu Yuan to break away from the control of "Xue Qinghe". Lu Yuan was destined to become the sword in the hands of "Xue Qinghe" in the future, so it was best for "Xue Qinghe" to know how to understand after getting along with Lu Yuan for a long time. How to handle Lu Yuan.

Lu Yuan smiled and said, "The formation of the new army does not conflict with my current position. I am willing to take care of both positions at the same time."

"If that's the case, then okay." Emperor Xueye felt relieved and said with a smile, "I have ordered to pass on the decree, Tianyinghou Lu Yuan, during the national crisis, he bravely took the lead, was not afraid of dangers, and saved the country. His loyalty is praiseworthy, and his righteousness Weeping, we are now allowed to form a new army of 50,000 men, with a bounty of 100,000 soul coins and 1 million new grains, so that we can reward them based on their merits and encourage them to do their best!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Lu Yuan and Ning Fengzhi both bowed and said.

Thanks to the boss Qing Liu for the 5000 starting coin reward, thank you
