Chapter 384 War Mobilization

"It's the Marquis's sister. She is waiting for the Marquis and his wife to come back in the inner palace," the guard said.

Lu Yuan was helpless. The guard had just shocked him.

He thought that the Star Luo Empire had already taken some action.

Although there has been no movement in the Star Luo Empire for more than two years, no one dares to underestimate the Star Luo Empire now.

Compared with the Tiandou Empire, the Xingluo Empire is a country of tigers and wolves with extremely strong war capabilities. It is equivalent to the Central and Western Chu to the Han Kingdom in the previous Chu-Han struggle for hegemony, and the Liao and Jin Dynasties to the Southern Song Dynasty after the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms.

It's just that there is an additional Wuhun Palace in Douluo Continent. Wuhun Palace has advocated the "way of balance" in the past and has repeatedly stopped the Star Luo Empire's attempts to unify Douluo Continent.

In fact, Wuhundian's move was also for his own ambition, because in Wuhundian's view, he could only unify Douluo Continent.

Lu Yuan understood very well that from a selfish point of view, everyone wanted to be the king who unified the troubled times.

But reunification is always a good thing. It is better than continuing to maintain a superficial peace between the two empires. Ten thousand years later, the Tiandou Empire will even split into two parts, and the Douluo Continent will become even more chaotic.

The Star Luo Empire is currently calm and can only hold back a big wave, but Lu Yuan can feel that it won't be long before a big wave in the Star Luo Empire is coming.

That's why he was shocked when he heard what the clansman said just now.

But he can't blame this clansman...

"Okay, I understand." Lu Yuan nodded.

Then he and Ning Rongrong drove straight into the inner palace.

"That girl is here." Lu Yuan said with a headache.

"Qingqing is still a student now." Ning Rongrong said with a smile, "I guess he escaped secretly, but I didn't expect that he ran away so far. It's not far from Tiandou City to Tianying City."

"Yes, she is only 14 years old after all. I don't really want her to graduate from Tiandou Academy so early." Lu Yuan said with a smile.

"With Qingqing's cultivation level, when she participates in the next continent-wide soul master competition, there should be no problem in winning another championship." Ning Rongrong said with a smile.

Lu Qingqing had level 45 soul power two years ago, and now she has level 53 soul power two years later. This was Lu Qingqing's cultivation level when Lu Yuan returned to the imperial capital Tiandou City two months ago.

Now two months later, Lu Qingqing might have achieved another breakthrough.

However, the continent-wide high-level soul master competition is held every five years, and it has only been almost three years since Lu Yuan and the Platinum Generation of the Tiandou Empire won the championship. (PS: After winning the championship, more than half a year has passed since the rewards, the beast wave, and the trilateral talks.)

In two years' time, Lu Qingqing's cultivation might be the same as Lu Yuan's three years ago, reaching the soul emperor stage.

Although he is a seventeen-year-old Soul Emperor, which is two years behind Lu Yuan's fifteen-year-old Soul Emperor record, it is definitely enough to shock the past and present!

And it is obvious that the younger generations trained by Wuhun Palace after the golden generation are not even as good as Hu Liena and others of the golden generation.

Therefore, if Lu Qingqing can really lead her team to participate in the next continental soul master competition, she will definitely win the championship far more easily than Lu Yuan did that time.

"It's a pity that the next continent-wide soul master competition is probably gone." Lu Yuan shook his head and said, "The situation between the two empires is now treacherous and unpredictable, and the Wuhun Palace intends to promote the conflict between us. It probably won’t be able to provide a peaceful environment for the next competition.”

"Xiao Yuan, will the Star Luo Empire really take the initiative to stir up trouble?" Ning Rongrong frowned and asked, "The past two years have passed, and the Star Luo Empire has not taken action. Shouldn't this be to take advantage of it when it is not prepared?"

"You can't say that, although everyone knows that soldiers are valuable and quick." Lu Yuan shook his head, "But the national war is about hard power. Even if the Star Luo Empire suddenly raises troops and quickly captures one or two cities, once Being caught in the quagmire of the Tiandou Empire's subsequent mobilization of armies, the Star Luo Empire is also afraid of suffering heavy losses."

"What's more, they and we all know that Wuhun Palace does not want the Star Luo Empire to directly destroy our Tiandou Empire. If we can't do it quickly, we have to reduce the losses and kill its vital points!"

He had also read the military books of the Tiandou Empire over the years, and coupled with his knowledge from his previous life, although it was not as perfect as Zhao Kuo's ability to talk about military affairs on paper and talk about it with great eloquence.

But at least he has a strong strategic vision.

"The Star Luo Empire is very ambitious." Ning Rongrong said with some worry.

"But the real worry is not the Star Luo Empire..." Lu Yuan shook his head, his eyes bright, "The real worry... is the Spirit Hall."

As they spoke, they had already walked back to the inner palace.

At this moment, a somewhat familiar and pleasant voice came from the mansion lobby, "Brother, what are you talking about?"

Lu Yuan became serious at this time, looked at Lu Qingqing, and said seriously, "Qingqing, you suddenly came to our place, have you told the college, your parents?"

"I've said it before." Lu Qingqing suddenly lost her temper and said somewhat submissively.

Lu Qingqing, who is already fourteen and almost fifteen, is now very generous.

Originally, her long aqua hair only just reached her shoulders, but now the ends of her hair have already reached her waist, protruding into an astonishing amount of hair, which was tied up with a white silk scarf.

At the same time, the long aqua-blue hair on her soft side face was tied into a braid like Lu Yuan's, and fell on her shoulders.

What reassured Lu Yuan the most was that this little girl's pectoralis major muscles were finally "exaggerated".

It seems that this child's development is just a little more "normal" than other people's. The situation is similar to that of the children in the previous life. It is a normal situation, unlike the children on Douluo Continent.

For example, a certain milk cat, at the age of twelve, asked "Why are my son's pectoralis major muscles so exaggerated?"

But now Lu Qingqing's aqua blue eyes and soft pretty face even make this little witch look a little gentle and quiet.

But anyone who is familiar with this little witch will not think that Lu Qingqing is a gentle and quiet girl.

She is such a fighting maniac!

But because of Lu Yuan's repeated orders and good restraint, Lu Qingqing, a little witch, would not intentionally bully the weak or humiliate others - she would only fight with soul masters who were at the same level as herself, or even stronger than herself.

It's this little witch that pesters others to have intense sparring every day, and no one can stand it.

Only the former members of the first team of Tiandou Royal Academy were willing to compete with this little witch every day.

Especially Dugu Yan. After all, Yan Zhuyin and the Shi brothers have taken charge of their own positions in the army, so only Dugu Yan is now a homeless man.

Wandering around with Dugu Bo every day, he became a slut.

"Really?" Lu Yuan looked at her like this and knew that she must be lying, so he sneered and said.

"Brother, are you okay with me? When you sneaked out, you didn't tell anyone!" Lu Qingqing glared dissatisfied and said.

"Didn't I tell the college's education committee that time?" Lu Yuan rolled his eyes, "I guess you didn't even notify the three education committee members this time!"

"Don't you have to be anxious when you come out..." Lu Qingqing suddenly shrunk again, and said calmly.

"Forget it, Xiaoyuan, Qingqing has already come out, it won't help if you scold her." Ning Rongrong quickly stood up and held Lu Qingqing.

Lu Qingqing immediately pretended to cry and stood behind Ning Rongrong, still holding Ning Rongrong's shoulders tightly, "It's better for Sister Rongrong. Sister Rongrong is the best to me, and I'm not bad at all." Know how to feel sorry for others!"

Lu Yuan was helpless, "Forget it, that's right, you've already come out, and there's nothing you can do about it no matter what I say."

"But you have to write a letter back to Tiandou City in person and inform the college, parents, and parents." He said sternly, "And you can't stay here for too long. At most...fifteen days, you have to go back."

"Bad brother! Drive me back so soon!" Lu Qingqing pouted and said angrily.

"What are you here for? If you're here to play, then there's nothing fun if you stay here for too long." Lu Yuan was quite helpless and said, "Besides, Rongrong and I both have important things to do, so we can't play with you. .”

"I know, brother, you are a busy man..." Lu Qingqing pouted and said, "It's so boring to be in the academy, what's wrong with me coming out to have fun?"

"It's getting more and more boring in the academy. Sister Rongrong, let me tell you, each generation is really worse than the last. Those members of the next competition are all terrible." Lu Qingqing said with disgust, "I made them ten Three of them together can't beat me."

Obviously, the thirteen mentioned by Lu Qingqing refer to the six from the first team, plus the seven substitutes from the second team.

However, there were thirteen people together, and there was nothing they could do to Lu Qingqing. This was indeed a bit too incompetent...

In fact, it is said that the next generation members of Wuhun Palace are not as good as the golden generation, and the same is not true for Tiandou Royal Academy.

Of the generation that Lu Yuan competed in, what kind of talented soul masters were there in the Tiandou Royal Academy?

The two most talented grandsons of Marquis Xuanwu, Poison Douluo's only granddaughter, Jiuxin Haitang's only heir, and the Blue Dragon Twins of the Blue Lightning Overlord Sect, all of them are indomitable genius soul masters.

As for Ning Rongrong, Yan Zhuyin and Lu Qingqing, who were influenced by Lu Yuan, their talents were even better than those of the talented soul masters such as Xing Xing.

Among the fourteen people participating in the Tiandou Royal Academy, only Yu Feng and Oslo were slightly less talented, but they were also soul sects with level 40 soul power.

As for the current generation of Tiandou Royal Academy's first and second teams, there is currently no soul sect. Of course, it's not yet time.

After all, the members of the previous generation of Tiandou Royal Academy only broke through to the Soul Sect before the continent-wide Soul Master Senior Competition was held. There are still two years to go, and it is estimated that only one of them will break through to the Soul Sect in two years.

However, I heard that there are no special powerful martial souls or special martial soul fusion skills in their generation.

Therefore, at this time, the thirteen soul masters did not have any powerful martial soul fusion skills, so they would definitely not be able to defeat Lu Qingqing, the soul king.

No wonder Lu Qingqing found it boring. Such strength really made her unmotivated.

But as the captain of the Tiandou Royal Academy team, she had to train with everyone, which was very uncomfortable.

"The academy is really boring, but everyone in Tiandou City is very busy. Sister Zhu Yin, Shi Mo and Shi Mo are training every day. I'm embarrassed to disturb them." Lu Qingqing blinked and said.

"Then you have the nerve to disturb me?" Lu Yuan said helplessly.

"Hehe, you are my brother..." Lu Qingqing said with a smile.

"Forget it, forget it, it's my misfortune." Lu Yuan said helplessly, "I'll tell my servants to arrange meals, and I'll have your room cleared out tonight."

"Thank you, brother!" Lu Qingqing said sweetly.

Then, after the chef of the Marquis Mansion prepared dinner and the three of them finished eating, Lu Yuan asked Lu Qingqing to put away her things in her room.

At this time, Lu Yuan looked thoughtfully at Lu Qingqing, who was jumping away gradually.

Ning Rongrong looked at Lu Yuan's contemplative look, smiled helplessly, and said, "It seems that you have also discovered it, Xiao Yuan..."

"I have discovered it a long time ago." Lu Yuan shook his head and said, "This girl, as my sister, has great power in Tiandou City. She can't go anywhere she wants. Moreover, she is here to find me. There is no reason why she dare not tell the college education committee. With my parents."

Lu Qingqing was powerful, and she was the sister of Lu Yuan, a popular marquis in the empire. She also had the title of viscount, so no one restricted her freedom.

In addition, if she said she was looking for Lu Yuan, her biological brother, who would stop her?

But she didn't tell anyone and ran out of Tiandou City alone and came to Lu Yuan.

Obviously, something happened to Lu Qingqing in Tiandou City, so she sneaked out and came to Lu Yuan, her biological brother.

She just didn't know what she was hiding, and even her brother Lu Yuan didn't dare to confess.

Ning Rongrong was silent for a while, and then said, "Actually, there has been a rumor spread in the Imperial City over the past few years."

"What rumors?" Lu Yuan asked curiously.

"It is said that His Majesty's health has become worse and worse in recent years, and His Majesty the Crown Prince has not decided on a candidate for the Crown Princess in these years, so His Majesty intends to choose a suitable Crown Princess for the Crown Prince before he dies completely." Ning Rongrong said. .

"And according to rumors, His Majesty's preferred candidate is..." She stopped here.

But this meaning is so clear that I can no longer understand it.

Lu Yuan was a little stunned. He didn't expect that Emperor Xue Ye actually wanted his sister Lu Qingqing to marry into the royal family and become the crown princess.

If you think about it, this does make perfect sense.

After all, he is now a rising star in the empire, so it is very reasonable for a royal marriage, especially a marriage between the future emperor, to win over him, a powerful official and a future titled Douluo.

Moreover, Lu Qingqing's talent and appearance are not bad. Who dares to say that a talent like the Soul King, who is less than fifteen years old, is weak, and her appearance is also a peerless beauty.

Even in Tiandou City, there are quite a few young men who want Lu Qingqing, but you must know that Lu Qingqing is only fourteen years old now!

Lu Yuan even knew that even his father-in-law Ning Fengzhi wanted to marry Ning Rongrong's brother Ning Shouzong and Lu Qingqing together.

So such rumors are definitely not groundless.

But Lu Yuan couldn't laugh or cry.

Ning Rongrong frowned, "What are you laughing at? You don't want Qingqing to agree, do you?"

In fact, Lu Yuan really agreed to help Lu Qingqing, and it was indeed beneficial to him without any harm.

After all, he was really going to become a relative of the emperor, especially once his sister became the crown princess. When "Xue Qinghe" ascended the throne in the future, Lu Qingqing would definitely become the queen of a country.

The Queen's brother, the weight of this status is self-evident.

But……

"No..." Lu Yuan smiled helplessly, "Don't worry, if Qingqing doesn't want to, I won't force her, and this matter is basically..."

He laughed loudly and said, "That's nonsense!"

"Nonsense?" Ning Rongrong was puzzled, "What do you mean, can this thing not be accomplished? Why?"

Lu Yuan thought to himself, isn't this just nonsense? After all, he knew that the true identity of the current Crown Prince "Xue Qinghe" was actually a girl named "Qian Renxue".

Although it is not impossible for a girl to be with a girl, after all, he has also seen Yan in this world, so there is nothing surprising about it.

But it should be absolutely impossible for Qian Renxue and Lu Qingqing, because they are both straight women.

Two straight girls grinding tofu together?

However, Qian Renxue would probably pretend to obey Emperor Xue Ye and ask to marry Lu Qingqing in order to consolidate the relationship with him and make Emperor Xue Ye feel at ease.

"I won't force Qingqing on this matter. Don't worry, I won't be so crazy that I will sacrifice my own family for the sake of power." Lu Yuan said with a smile.

"Qingqing's marriage depends entirely on her own wishes. Even if she doesn't want to get married, I won't force her."

After all, he only has one sister.

"That's good." Ning Rongrong felt relieved, after all, she regarded Qingqing as her sister.

…

At this time, there was a battlefield on the border between the two empires.

Looking at the Principality of Hel, which is affiliated to the Tiandou Empire, in front of the Principality of Hel is the first border pass that blocks the sight of the Star Luo Empire and Wuhun City - Zhennan Pass.

"Your Highness, the entire army has been assembled." A Xingluo Empire general wearing armor knelt on one knee in front of Dai Mubai.

Next to Dai Mubai were his Crown Princess Zhu Zhuqing and everyone from Shrek Academy.

Ma Hongjun, Oscar, and the teachers from Shrek Academy.

Two years have passed, and Flanders, the dean of Shrek Academy who was a seventy-eighth level soul saint when he first appeared, has finally broken through the eightyth level soul power and became a soul douluo.

Several other Shrek Academy Soul Emperor teachers have also broken through to Soul Saint cultivation.

Therefore, beside Dai Mubai, there are two Soul Douluos, Flanders and Zhao Wuji, as well as three Soul Saints. This strength is indeed strong enough.

Emperor Xingluo did not have a charioteer to conquer the war himself. Instead, he handed over the power of this war to Dai Mubai.

Obviously, this war mobilization, which had been planned for two years, was the first war lesson that Emperor Xing Luo taught Dai Mubai.

Two years have passed for Dai Mubai, and his cultivation is still at the soul sect stage, with level 48 soul power. Without Tang San, his cultivation speed cannot be compared to Ning Rongrong and Yan Zhuyin.

"Then prepare to raise troops and capture Zhennang Pass!" Dai Mubai said directly.

But just when he was high-spirited, a dark-skinned general beside him shook his head and said, "Your Highness, please don't act rashly at this time."

"The weather is wrong." He said calmly.

"It's... General Ba Xia." Dai Mubai did not dare to complain.

Because this tyrant general is a peerless general who has been famous for a long time in the Star Luo Empire!

Emperor Xingluo couldn't let Dai Mubai, a newbie on the battlefield, take over everything on his first try, so he sent several famous generals to assist him and teach him lessons.

After a while, General Baxia looked at the direction of the flag and said, "The time has come, the whole army attacks!"

Surprised or not, unexpected or not!
