Chapter 171 No. 38, Luo Ze
Soon after.
The Xu family of Wanshan Prefecture met with the Ke family of Xunyang Prefecture.
Because the cavalry composed of black jade unicorns in the hands of the Xu family is too powerful.
Without any choice
The Ke family could only mobilize the troops lingering on the border of Changping Prefecture to the junction of Changli Prefecture and Wanshan Prefecture.
Just guarding the cities on the border.
Nor does he take the initiative to attack.
After all, the defending side always has the advantage.
Coupled with the cavalry of the Xu family in Wanshan Mansion, they can rank among the top three in the entire Gale Dynasty.
Even the top two.
Under such circumstances, unless the people of the Ke family in Xunyang Mansion have lost their minds.
Otherwise, naturally they would not take the initiative to launch an attack on the Xu family's army in Wanshan Prefecture.
In the blink of an eye, several days passed.
The border area of Changli Province.
The army of the Ke family in Xunyang Prefecture.
As well as the troops of the Xu family of Wanshan Prefecture.
They all gathered here and looked at each other.
The Ke family didn't want to fight, so they just wanted to delay it like this.
Although the head of the Xu family in Wanshan Mansion wanted to take the initiative to attack.
However, the elders in the family always hold him back.
no way
At this moment, the two parties could only remain in such a stalemate.
Regarding the actions of the Xu family of Wanshan Prefecture and the Ke family of Xunyang Prefecture.
Many family forces within the Gale Dynasty are secretly paying attention.
Wanshan Mansion, Xu Family
This family's power is not well-known.
The ambition doesn't seem very big either.
I just want to demarcate territory for self-government and become a local emperor.
I never thought about entering the core competition of Gale Dynasty.
For those who want to climb to the top of the Ninth Five-Year Plan, the threat is not great.
However, there is no threat to the Xu family in Wanshan Mansion.
The Ke family of Xunyang Mansion is a little different.
Today, the Ke family already owns the two prefectures of Xunyang and Changli.
The overall strength has been greatly improved.
In addition, the Ke family's high-end combat power and mid-range combat power are not considered weak.
It can be said that the Ke family today.
It already has the power to threaten those ambitious people.
Therefore, the actions of the Ke family in Xunyang Mansion.
It often causes many family forces to wait and see.
Previously, the Ke family's targeting of the Luo family was within the expectations of those people.
However, as time continues to pass and pass,
Those people gradually found out.
The situation within the Gale Dynasty changed.
It seems that he is getting out of his control bit by bit.
Dafeng Dynasty, Zijin Mansion.
In a large palace that is splendid and resplendent, exuding majesty and solemnity.
At this time, there were countless eunuchs and maids.
He lowered his head slightly and walked silently in this palace.
And located deep in this palace.
In a large hall with only two people.
Sitting quietly on the main throne, Feng Wumian, the new emperor of the Gale Dynasty.
At this time, there was a silent face.
Silently looking into the distance.
"People from the Xu family of Wanshan Mansion are involved?"
After a long silence.
Wearing imperial robes, Feng Wumian exudes the majesty of the emperor.
Suddenly he whispered to Zhong Yu, the middle-aged man next to him.
"Your Majesty, the Xu family has entered the situation and is now competing with the Ke family, which owns two houses."
The light here is slightly dim, and there are only two people in the hall.
Zhong Yu is dressed in the formal attire of an official from the Dafeng Dynasty.
He lowered his head slightly and whispered calmly.
"What's the reason?"
"Did you find out clearly?"
After a long time, Feng Wumian asked again.
And for this question.
Zhong Yu thought for a moment first.
Then, he replied aloud: "It seems that the second son of the head of the Ke family of Xunyang Prefecture accidentally killed the third son who was most loved by the head of the Xu family of Wanshan Prefecture, so that led to the collapse of the Xu family of Wanshan Prefecture. entry, and the occurrence of this matter.”
When Feng Wumian heard this, he couldn't help but frown slightly.
"Is that all?"
"Is it possible that the Xu family of Wanshan Mansion is the head of the Xu family?"
"The senior executives of the Xu family don't object?"
Zhong Yu's expression was still very calm and he replied: "That's not the case. At first, the head of the Xu family in Wanshan Prefecture suffered from the lack of evidence. Coupled with the opposition of the Xu family elders, the Xu family in Wanshan Prefecture did not report it at the first time. We declared war on the Ke family of Xunyang Prefecture, but as the people from the Luo family continued to act and provoke, they continued to create one reason after another for the head of the Xu family to attack the Ke family of Xunyang Prefecture."
"So, the Xu family of Wanshan Prefecture openly declared war on the Ke family of Xunyang Prefecture."
After Zhong Yu's words sounded.
The atmosphere in this hall gradually became a little quiet.
Zhong Yu lowered his head slightly and remained silent.
And the new emperor Feng Wumian sitting quietly on the main seat.
At this time, he squinted his eyes slightly.
From time to time, he looked into the distance, in the direction of the Ke family of Xunyang Prefecture and the Xu family of Wanshan Prefecture.
From time to time, he would also shift his gaze to Zhong Yu.
"Does the head of the Xu family not know the reason for this matter?"
"Don't you know that it was the Luo family who was causing wanton instigation during this period?"
In the main hall, Zhong Yu shook his head.
Then he explained aloud.
"Your Majesty, the head of the Xu family in Wanshan Mansion naturally knows about it, and the Luo family doesn't hide anything too much."
"But even if you know this, what's the use?"
"This plan of the Luo family is a conspiracy"
"Even the head of the Xu family knew clearly that all the subsequent events were caused by the Luo family's secret instigation."
"The head of the Xu family will still proceed in accordance with the development that the Luo family wants to see."
In the main hall.
After some verbal exchanges between Feng Wumian and Zhong Yu.
Zhong Yu silently exited that hall.
At this time, the light was slightly dim in the main hall.
Only Feng Wumian, the new emperor of the Gale Dynasty, was left.
"Is it a conspiracy of the Luo family?"
"This conspiracy seems to be somewhat unsolvable."
Feng Wumian murmured in a low voice.
Then, he couldn't help but smile and shook his head.
The person who took action in the Ke family was the second son who was always doted on by the head of the Ke family.
No matter what the reason is.
The Ke family will definitely not hand that person over.
As for Wanshan Mansion, it is obvious that they will not let go of the Ke family of Xunyang Mansion easily.
Even if there is no real attack on the Ke family.
But as long as it can delay the development and growth of the Ke family, as long as it can make the Ke family unhappy and make the Ke family feel uncomfortable, this has already achieved the preliminary results in the mind of the head of the Xu family.
As for Feng Wumian's plan?
How do these relate to the Xu family of Wanshan Prefecture?
messed up
The situation within the Gale Dynasty is completely chaotic.
The land of Qingcheng Mansion has become a battlefield.
Under the continuous crazy attacks during this period.
The door of Qingcheng Mansion is already showing signs of loosening.
Maybe, within two or three months.
The new emperor Feng Wumian can completely open the door of Qingcheng Mansion.
Completely mobilize his army to Qingcheng Mansion.
However, if Feng Wumian really did this, what would be the point?
Next to Qingcheng Mansion, Feng Wuhen sits on the land of the two mansions.
At this time, he was staring at the land of Qingcheng Mansion.
Located below Qingcheng Mansion, it sits on the land of three mansions, and even the Luo family does not need to take care of the Ke family of Xunyang Mansion.
At this time, he had already focused his attention on Qingcheng Mansion.
It seemed that he was just waiting for the door of Qingcheng Mansion to be forcibly opened.
Then a large army will be sent to Qingcheng Mansion to pick up the leaks.
And the new Emperor Feng Wumian was the first to attack and open the door to Qingcheng Mansion.
In this war.
At most, it can only gain a little more than Feng Wuhen and the Luo family.
It's just that this is a little more.
It seems that it is not enough to make up for what New Emperor Feng Wumian has put in during this period.
"well"
"Things are really getting more and more complicated."
After sighing helplessly.
Feng Wumian stood up silently.
Heading out of the main hall, he walked out step by step.
In comparison, Feng Wumian had a headache.
Sitting on the land of two mansions, Feng Wuhen is located in Changqing Mansion.
It seems that there is no such headache.
After all, all the early investment was given by his eldest brother Feng Wumian.
And he is Feng Wuhen
Not only is nothing given.
He even firmly controlled Anqing Mansion, which chose a neutral stance, in his own hands.
As for the place of Qingcheng Mansion
Feng Wuhen didn't particularly care.
If there is a chance, he will naturally send troops to eat some meat behind his eldest brother.
No matter how bad it is, drinking soup is also good.
If there is no chance, then that's it.
Anyway, he didn’t invest anything and didn’t suffer any losses.
If you care so much, what should you do?
In the blink of an eye, several days passed.
Luoshan Mansion, outside Qingshi City.
On a deserted land, there is a courtyard with a large area located here.
And in this courtyard.
From the beginning to the end, there was a strong smell of blood.
"Command"
"Command"
After the young man codenamed Yuan entered this courtyard.
Those shadow guards in black costumes guarding every corner of the courtyard.
They all lowered their heads, with cold faces on their faces.
It showed a somewhat respectful expression.
"How's that guy doing?"
Looking at the shadow guards in front of him, Yuan was silent for a moment, and then asked in a cold voice.
"fine"
"Except for the slower progress in strength"
"Everything else is pretty good."
This was the answer given by the shadow guards in front of Yuan.
When Yuan got this answer, he just nodded silently.
Then, he disappeared in front of the shadow guards.
Outside Bluestone City, there is a secret courtyard specially used to train shadow guards.
The area occupied is quite huge.
In fact, this mysterious courtyard is so large that it is not so much a courtyard.
Rather
This is another world.
One is full of killing, full of intrigues, and full of the smell of blood.
The weak eat the strong, and the fittest survive.
Only the strong are qualified to survive the bloody purgatory.
Luo Ze was arranged here.
Although, there is some special treatment.
But these benefits seemed to be limited to the extent that he could survive.
Apart from that, he seemed to have no other preferential treatment.
After following Yuan into this courtyard full of bloody atmosphere.
His first time.
Then he quickly approached Luo Ze's direction.
There is only one rule in this small courtyard.
That is, whoever has a bigger fist will enjoy better treatment.
Luo Ze's cultivation and strength are not strong.
Therefore, in this courtyard.
The only place he could live in was the worst-sized room in the courtyard.
Moreover, this room.
It's not a single room.
Instead, several Shadow Guard reserves live together.
"No. 38, where are you from?"
In the room where Luo Ze was.
A young man dressed in black, who seemed a little thin, but had a faint smell of blood on his body.
He was half lying on his wooden bed.
He tilted his head and asked in a low voice to the child next to him who seemed a bit ordinary but could always survive.
Yes, in the eyes of No. 39.
He is not very tall, and his figure is not very strong. He is a size 38.
He is just an extremely pure child.
In the outside world, under normal circumstances.
Little guys of this age are often chasing and playing with their friends.
But here it is.
No matter how young you are.
You must participate in the selection of Shadow Guards.
Your fate belongs to the Luo family.
To be precise, it belongs to the ancestor of the Luo family.
Those who can appear here are all people who have died once.
If you want to get out of such a cold, cruel, and extremely bloody world, there is only one possibility.
That is to become a member of the Shadow Guard.
But, this wants to be a Shadow Guard.
I want to stand out by stepping on the corpses of countless people.
Chosen by the senior shadow guards.
How easy is this?
inside the room.
Number 38 was Luo Ze who was thrown into this bloody purgatory by Luo Changfeng, the ancestor of the Luo family.
He didn't choose to answer the words of Number 39 beside him.
Normally, every Shadow Guard.
They all have their own codenames.
However, as Shadow Guard reserves, they.
There seems to be nothing else except a number.
As for the name?
In this bloody purgatory, there is no need for something like a name.
"Don't you want to talk?"
"That's okay"
No. 39 looked at Luo Ze beside him, who seemed to be resting with his eyes closed.
He couldn't help but smile and shook his head.
For more than a month, the people in the room changed again and again.
However, there is only this number 38, which has persisted until now.
If it weren't for this reason
Number 39 will not take the initiative to talk to others.
After all, no one knows.
How long can I persist in such a purgatory and survive?
Outside Luo Ze's room.
Yuan looked at it silently for a moment.
After that, he left the courtyard.
Returned to Qingshi City, the Luo family's land, and the courtyard where Luo Changfeng was.
"how?"
Qingshi City, the land of the Luo family, in the courtyard where the ancestors of the Luo family lived.
At this time, Luo Changfeng was sitting quietly under a stone pavilion.
Holding a cup of hot tea in his hand, he drank it in small sips.
The young man codenamed Yuan replied in a low voice from the side: "Excellent temperament, slightly less talented"
Of course, this is already a more tolerant statement by Yuan.
If it were anyone else,
No matter how firm your mind is.
If he is not strong enough, he will fall into that courtyard within three days.
The selection of shadow guards is not that simple.
Even if it is just a small shadow guard reserve, it is not a formal shadow guard.
But as long as he can survive for a long time in that courtyard like a bloody purgatory.
Everyone must have some methods of their own.
"Excellent xinxing, but poor talent?"
Luo Changfeng heard this and waved his hand.
She backed away from Yuan who lowered her head slightly.
After that, he just drank the cup of hot tea in his hand.
For that little guy Luo Ze
Luo Changfeng has done everything he can do.
If so, it still doesn't work.
Perhaps this is his fate.
No matter how reluctant you are, no matter how hard you fight.
Without some adventures or big changes, the little guy Luo Ze might have been able to see everything at a glance in this life.
In the small courtyard, under the stone pavilion.
After Luo Changfeng drank the tea in his hand.
He stood up silently and walked towards the direction of a semi-spiritual field in the small courtyard.
At this time, the spirit-locking and spirit-gathering formations enveloped the Half Spirit Field.
It has already gone through Luo Changfeng's modifications.
Both the effect of gathering spirits and the effect of locking spirits are at least several times stronger than before.
This is because Luo Changfeng has not studied it thoroughly.
If he thoroughly studied the two drawings that Monk Xiaoyao gave him.
Not to mention that the effects of gathering spirits and locking spirits have been increased several times.
An improvement of more than ten times, or even dozens of times, is not impossible.
At that time, add the mysterious elixir in the semi-spiritual field.
Maybe he can recreate the scene from Hajime's side.
Produce real spiritual fields in large quantities?
Of course, this is just an idea now.
As for whether it can be done.
There is no definite number yet.
"Grow up quickly"
Taking a final look at the Half Spirit Field, it seemed to have grown to the size of a little finger.
The color is green, and it is surrounded by bursts of spiritual energy and mysterious elixir with strong vitality.
After that, Luo Changfeng turned around and put his hands behind his back.
He walked slowly out of the small courtyard.
Bluestone City, the land of the Luo family.
In the room where the head of the Luo family is.
At this time, Luo Ping, the current head of the Luo family, was sitting quietly on the throne.
In his hand, he was holding a copy of various things that had happened in the Gale Dynasty in the recent period and was reading carefully.
[The Xu family of Wanshan Prefecture publicly declared war on the Ke family of Xunyang Prefecture]
[Qingcheng Mansion is almost unable to withstand the crazy attack from the new emperor]
[Feng Wuhen, who is in charge of Changqing and Anqing Prefecture, has accumulated a large number of troops on the border of Qingcheng Prefecture, and is suspected of wanting to take action against the Qingcheng Prefecture]
[The Buddhist forces in Bailian Mansion seem to have ushered in a complete unification stage during this period of time]
Looking at the information in his hand, Luo Ping, who was sitting quietly on the main seat, couldn't help but narrowed his eyes slightly.
