Chapter 272 Three hundred years old!

Chu Hongfei took Lu Shuyun and dozens of followers and walked for more than two hours before finally reaching the entrance of the cave.

When they were about to reach the exit, they heard the sound of rushing water coming from the entrance of the cave. Lu Shuyun felt happy, but he didn't expect that Chu Hongfei actually led them to escape.

Great, as long as he runs to Qi State, he will have a chance to make a comeback.

After a while, they walked out of the cave. When they left the cave, the sky began to turn white.

Looking at the vast sea in front of him, Lu Shuyun's ambition once again ignited in his heart.

At this time, Chu Hongfei said from the side: "Your Highness, let's hurry up and leave. This place is not far from Sufeng City. If the imperial army realizes that you have escaped, they will probably send people to find this place."

After hearing Chu Hongfei's voice, Lu Shuyun came back to his senses, and he immediately signaled the grandmaster next to him with a glance.

Now that they have escaped, Chu Hongfei is useless.

The grandmaster instantly understood what Lu Shuyun meant, drew his sword directly, and pierced Chu Hongfei's chest with the sword.

Chu Hongfei suddenly felt a cold feeling on his back, and then bursts of severe pain. After spitting out a mouthful of blood, he lowered his head and looked at the sword blade on his chest in disbelief.

Then he stared at Lu Shuyun with wide eyes, and said with a look of reluctance: "Prince... you..."

Before Chu Hongfei finished speaking, the grandmaster who protected Lu Shuyun kicked Chu Hongfei off the cliff and fell into the sea.

After dealing with Chu Hongfei, Lu Shuyun was about to leave, but at this moment, a man's voice came from behind Lu Shuyun, "Your Highness, Chu Hongfei managed to escape with us, why don't you kill him like this?" It’s a bit inappropriate to marry him.”

"Isn't this a little too ungrateful?"

"If His Highness the Crown Prince treats his servants like this, always killing the donkey, then who will dare to follow His Highness the Crown Prince in the future?"

Hearing these words, Lu Shuyun was stunned for a moment. He did not expect that someone would dare to speak to him like this. Then he immediately turned around and found that his followers had surrounded someone.

And the person surrounded was none other than Liang Zong, who had been helping him make money.

Lu Shuyun thought that after going to Qi State, he would definitely need to accumulate some money to bribe court officials. He could not rely on his imperial uncle for everything, so he took Liang Zong with him.

In the end, he didn't expect that Liang Zong, a slave, would dare to speak to his master like this.

Lu Shuyun asked coldly: "Liang Zong, do you know who you are talking to?"

Hearing this, Liang Zong smiled faintly, and then said: "Of course I know, I am talking to the rebel leader now."

Seeing that Liang Zong actually called himself the leader of the rebels, Lu Shuyun was immediately furious and said directly: "Since you insist on seeking death, I will help you!"

Having said this, Lu Shuyun said to the grandmaster next to him: "Kill him!"

In Lu Shuyun's view, Liang Zong was just an ordinary person who was good at making money. Killing him was no different than squeezing an ant to death.

After hearing Lu Shuyun's order, the grandmaster beside Lu Shuyun immediately took action and struck Liang Zong on the head with a knife.

Just when everyone thought Liang Zong was about to be killed, suddenly, Liang Zong pulled out a soft sword from his waist, and then chopped off the head of the master who attacked him with one sword.

Seeing the scene of blood splattering in front of him, Lu Shuyun was dumbfounded. The person protecting him was a great master, and he was killed so directly.

How can this be? ? ?

Lu Shuyun looked at Liang Zong in disbelief, "You...you actually know martial arts!"

Lu Shuyun had always thought that Liang Zong was an ordinary person, but he never expected that Liang Zong could kill a grandmaster so easily.

Being able to draw a sword so fast and so fast that even a grandmaster can't react, Liang Zong's strength is at least above that of a grandmaster or master.

Lu Shuyun's heart was instantly filled with fear.

An ordinary person who has been with him for so many years suddenly has the strength of a grandmaster. What does this mean?

It means that this person is lurking around him for some purpose. Now that his rebellion has failed, and there are only these dozens of followers left around him, Liang Zong suddenly reveals his strength, which means that Liang Zong wants to attack him Take action.

Liang Zong smiled and said at this time: "Your Highness, I never said that I didn't know martial arts. You always thought that I didn't know martial arts."

Lu Shuyun couldn't help but take a step back, "Who...are you?"

Liang Zong smiled and said, "The person who sent His Royal Highness on his way."

Hearing this, Lu Shuyun quickly said to his followers: "Kill! Kill him alone!"

After Lu Shuyun finished speaking, everyone immediately took action.

Liang Zong waved his soft sword, and a series of sword sounds sounded. The next moment, the followers who rushed up were easily dealt with.

When Lu Shuyun saw this, he knew that his followers were no match for Liang Zong, so he turned around and ran away, trying to let his remaining followers hold Liang Zong back for a while.

But it is a pity that those followers did not buy Lu Shuyun much time. Before Lu Shuyun could run a few steps, Lu Shuyun's followers were killed by Liang Zong alone.

Seeing Lu Shuyun running away, Liang Zong smiled faintly and kicked his right leg hard. A stone flew directly towards Lu Shuyun and knocked Lu Shuyun's body to the ground.

After Lu Shuyun fell, he turned around and kept retreating.

As he retreated, he said: "Who do you belong to? As long as you defect to Gu, when Gu goes to Qi State, Gu's uncle will definitely give you ten thousand taels of gold. In the future, if Gu Ruo sits on the throne, Gu will grant you the title of king." male!!!"

Hearing Lu Shuyun's words, Liang Zong smiled and said, "Your Highness, I am not Chu Hongfei, and I will not believe the pie you painted so easily."

At this point, Liang Zong was about to take action. Lu Shuyun said quickly: "Gu is the prince! You can't kill Gu! Even if Gu rebels, Gu is still the crown prince of Emperor Xia. If you kill Gu, you will not end well. !”

Liang Zong ignored Lu Shuyun's words and swung his sword directly. The sword light flashed and Lu Shuyun's body slowly fell to the ground, but he still had the last trace of consciousness.

Liang Zong said at this time: "Finally, let me introduce myself. I am Liang Zong, the commander of the Northern Kingdom's Jinyi Guards. Your Highness, please come on your way!"

Lu Shuyun vomited blood and slowly fell down. He made a weak voice, "You...you are...Lu Luchen...'s..."

After saying the last sentence, Lu Shuyun completely lost consciousness. Liang Zong didn't waste time and left directly.

Lu Shuyun is dead, and his lurking work has come to an end. It is time to go to the Northern Kingdom to report his duties to the Northern King. Since the Northern King activated the Jinyi Guards, he has not personally reported his duties to the Northern King once. This is not what a good minister should do. Some performance.

After Lu Shuyun escaped, the major families in Sufeng City soon realized that Lu Shuyun was missing, but no matter how they searched, they could not find Lu Shuyun.

Two days later, the imperial army invaded Sufeng City. The grand master of the Jiangnan family took action again and fought against the imperial grand master again. In the end, all the grand masters of the Jiangnan family were wiped out, and the three grand masters of the imperial court were also seriously injured.

Someone from an aristocratic family took this opportunity to rush out of Sufeng City with their clan members. Although the imperial army also sent people to block the city gate, the aristocratic family still had a relatively strong foundation, and there were many powerful people in the aristocratic family. There were also a lot of grandmasters, and many of them eventually escaped.

Of course, Zhao Quan also immediately asked the imperial soldiers to chase the escaped aristocratic family members. Although many escaped aristocratic family members were hunted down, some still slipped through the net.

But that is no longer relevant. Most of the aristocratic families in Su Feng City were beheaded and executed on the spot. The properties of the major aristocratic families were all confiscated. Without their land and money, those aristocratic families who escaped will also be exposed in the future. There won't be any trouble.

Zhao Quan originally wanted to capture Lu Shuyun and bring Lu Shuyun back to Emperor Xia for personal trial. However, he heard that Lu Shuyun escaped two days before the city was broken, so he had to send people to look for Lu Shuyun again.

In the end, he found a corpse. He had no choice but to have the body put away and transported back to the capital.

In this way, the Jiangnan Rebellion has come to an end.

Soon after, Emperor Xia learned the news that Lu Shuyun committed suicide at the seaside. He was not particularly happy about this. He did not feel guilty about Lu Shuyun's death. Lu Shuyun was just one of his children. For him, Say, if you die, you will die.

He was not happy because the actions in the north were becoming more and more frequent. The soldiers from the north were very aggressive and even often provoked the imperial army stationed on the border of Qi State.

Obviously, the Northern Kingdom wanted the imperial court to initiate a war, so that they could find excuses to fight back.

Fortunately, he issued a death order to the imperial army stationed on the border of Qi State. In any case, as long as the northern soldiers did not attack Qi State, they were not allowed to attack the northern soldiers.

During the recent period, Emperor Xia also received investigative information from the Shadow Guard on whether Zhuge Chongguang had broken through to the Heavenly Realm.

Although there is no direct proof that Zhuge Chongguang has broken through to the heavenly realm, and they have never seen Zhuge Chongguang take action, the golden light from the North Palace and the tornado clouds that appeared in the sky were seen by all the people in Yancheng. of.

This kind of vision is obviously something that the Grand Master cannot create, so there is a high probability that Zhuge Chongguang has really broken through to the realm of heaven and humans. In addition, the soldiers from the Northern Kingdom deliberately provoked trouble at the border of Qi State, which further confirms that Zhuge Chongguang has broken through to the realm of heaven and humans. Emperor Xia became more and more worried about the speculations about the realm of heaven and man.

He quickly transferred the elite soldiers of the imperial court in the south of the Yangtze River to the north to prevent the northern country from actually rebelling.

at the same time.

Northland.

Dayu City.

After a long journey, Lu Chen and the others finally arrived at Dayu City.

The people of Dayu City had known in advance that Lu Chen was coming. As soon as they heard that their king was coming, every household was decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations.

The people of Dayu City, as well as the city lord, came to the city gate in person to greet Lu Chen's motorcade.

After Lu Chen arrived at the gate of Dayu City, he got out of the carriage directly.

After all, if you want to see your people, you can't do it in a carriage.

Lu Chen rode his horse and passed slowly on the road into the city. There were huge crowds of people on both sides of the road, and the people were very excited.

When Lu Chen arrived at the city gate, he saw an old man standing at the city gate, waiting respectfully.

Lu Chen immediately got off the horse, and at this time, the old man knelt down.

"My lord, Xuanyuan Chaoge, pays homage to the king!"

After Xuanyuan Chaoge knelt down, the people on both sides of the road also knelt down and said, "Greetings to the king! The king is a thousand years old!"

After hearing Xuanyuan Chaoge's name, Lu Chen was stunned for a moment. Then he used the system to identify it and found that the lord of Dayu City was really named Xuanyuan Chaoge.

The name Chaoge...

Lu Chen thought in his mind that it must be a coincidence, and then he stopped thinking about it.

He glanced at Xuanyuan Yunqi next to Xuanyuan Chaoge.

Xuanyuan Yunqi is still the same as the last time she went to Yancheng. She is wearing a black gold armor with a high single ponytail, revealing her white forehead. She is beautiful and makes people feel heroic.

However, Xuanyuan Yunqi's favorability towards her seems to have increased a lot.

[Name: Xuanyuan Yunqi]

[Identity: The daughter of Xuanyuan Chaoge, the head of the Xuanyuan family in Dayu City. She is 23 years old this year. She is the younger sister of Xuanyuan Chen. She is a master. When she heard that you were coming to Dayu City, she and her father went out to greet you. 】

[Rating: 98]

【Loyalty: 100】

[Favorability: 60]

The favorability level has actually increased. How come it has increased so much?

Lu Chen thought to himself, if he remembered correctly, the last time he saw him in Yancheng Xuanyuan Yunqi, his favorability towards him was 50, right? This is only an increase of 10 points.

He, the King of the North, is so unworthy that even the characters summoned by the system have such a favorable opinion of him.

Lu Chen didn't think any more, he quickly walked up to Xuanyuan Chaoge, then held his arms and said: "Xuanyuan City Lord, please get up quickly!"

Having said this, Lu Chen said to the people on both sides: "Everyone, please get up."

Upon hearing this, Xuanyuan Chaoge took the lead and said: "Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Immediately, the people on both sides also said: "Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Immediately afterwards, Xuanyuan Chaoge got up from the ground, and he said slightly excitedly: "Your Majesty, you are finally here!"

Lu Chen could tell that Xuanyuan Chaoge was really excited about his arrival at this time. Xuanyuan Chaoge's body was shaking with excitement, and there were even tears in his eyes. It seemed that he was waiting for this day. After waiting for who knows how many years, Lu Chen saw the vicissitudes of life on Xuanyuan Chaoge's face.

Lu Chen subconsciously checked Xuanyuan Chaoge's personal information through the system.

[Name: Xuanyuan Chaoge]

[Identity: Lord of Dayu City, 300 years old this year. He is very happy for your arrival. 】

[Strength: Grandmaster]

【Loyalty: 100】

Lu Chen was a little confused, he was three hundred years old!

Wait, he is already three hundred years old, why is his daughter Xuanyuan Yunqi only in her twenties? And his son Xuanyuan Chen is only a few decades old.

Old age brings a son?

This is too old.

You don’t have a child until you’re over 200 years old?

Lu Chen said with a smile at this time: "The Lord of Xuanyuan City just wants me to stand here, and doesn't he take me to your city to see it?"

Xuanyuan Chaoge came to his senses at this time, and he said quickly: "Your Majesty, please mount the horse, and I will lead the horse for you."

Lu Chen said: "No need, I'd better walk. Walking more is good for your health."

Then Lu Chen handed the horse's reins to the soldiers beside him.

Lu Chen said: "Let's go."

Seeing that Lu Chen insisted on walking, Xuanyuan Chaoge said nothing more and then led Lu Chen into Dayu City.

After entering Dayu City, Lu Chen could clearly feel the wealth and order of Dayu City.

The streets of Dayucheng were very clean. Although this could not be ruled out because he was coming to Dayucheng, Xuanyuan Chaoge had people clean them again.

As Lu Chen entered Dayu City and walked through many streets, he found that the architectural integrity of Dayu City was much higher than that of Yancheng.

There are still earthen houses in Yancheng, and some people's houses are still full of pits, but Dayucheng is different. The houses in Dayucheng are all made of stone and wood, and the houses in the streets are all in rows, making it look like It's very neat and tidy, not as messy as Laoyancheng.

It can be basically seen from the buildings in Dayucheng that the lives of the people in Dayucheng are much better than those in Yancheng before.

Dayu City is further north, and the winter is longer and colder. As a result, Dayu City's life is better than that of the people in Yancheng. This is enough to show the leadership ability of Xuanyuan Chaoge, the city lord. How strong.

Lu Chen asked with a smile at this time: "Lord Xuanyuan City, didn't you know you will live a long life this year?"

Xuanyuan Chaoge replied: "Back to your Majesty, I am exactly three hundred years old this year."

Lu Chen sighed and said, "I'm three hundred years old! Thank you for your hard work these years."

Xuanyuan Chaoge said: "For the sake of your Majesty, I don't have to work hard."

Xuanyuan Chaoge then took Lu Chen to inspect various places in Dayu City. In the evening, Xuanyuan Chaoge arranged for Lu Chen to stay in the City Lord's Mansion, and gave Lu Chen the largest hall in the City Lord's Mansion to live in.

Lu Chen looked at the magnificent hall in front of him and thought to himself that the standards of this hall were a bit high.

At this time, after Xiao Wenyao finished taking a bath, she came to Lu Chen and sat down in front of Lu Chen wearing a green translucent cicada dress. She leaned into Lu Chen's arms. Lu Chen did not immediately touch or touch her, but scanned her He glanced at the main hall, and then his eyes fell on the maid in the main hall.

He directly asked: "Is this hall usually occupied by people?"

Hearing Lu Chen's question, the maid from the City Lord's Mansion immediately replied: "Back to your Majesty, this hall was specially prepared for you by the City Lord. It is usually unoccupied."

Lu Chen was stunned for a moment, prepared for himself?

Lu Chen then continued to ask: "Your city lord is already three hundred years old, why is his son and daughter only a few dozen years old? Do you know the reason?"

The maid replied: "Back to your Majesty, the Lord of the City actually has many children, but most of them have ordinary martial arts talents and only have a lifespan of a few dozen years at most, so most of them have passed away."

"The Lord of the City was afraid that he would not be able to wait for your arrival, so he had to keep trying to have children. Finally, when he was more than two hundred years old, Mrs. Mo gave birth to a son with extremely talented martial arts, that is, Young Master Chen, who will be mentioned later. Mrs. Mo gave birth to Yun Qi again, and Miss Yun Qi’s martial arts talent is also extremely high."

After hearing this, Lu Chen thought for a moment, but he didn't expect that the characters assigned to him by the system had been waiting for his appearance a long time ago.

The Dongfang family is like this, the Wei family is like this, the Qian family is like this, and the Xuanyuan family is even more like this.

Three hundred years old...

Xuanyuan Chaoge has been waiting for him since he was born. No wonder he was so excited to see him today.
