Comprehensive martial arts: Qixia town storytellers, the beginning of the tie to Qiao Feng

Chapter 271 Preparations before ascension to the throne!

Shangyang Palace.

back yard.

In the past few days, Wu Zhao would come to the back garden to enjoy the flowers and enjoy the shade after finishing his official duties.

Compared with the previous period, her mood was obviously much better these days.

Now Xu Jingye's army is retreating steadily and has returned to Yangzhou.

Qiu Shenji's army has won consecutive battles, their morale is high, and they are unstoppable. It is only a matter of time before Xu Jingye's army is completely defeated.

In addition, she is still concerned about the progress of the construction of Dayun Temple in various places.

As early as a few days ago, she had selected Buddhist eminent monks from all over the world to travel around and preach the "Dayun Sutra".

Presumably it should have some effect by now.

Seeing that everything is going in a good direction, she is naturally in a happy mood, and has the leisurely mood to enjoy the flowers and scenery.

Shangguan Wan'er walked slowly to the front of Wu Zhao's collapse, and said in a low voice, "Your Majesty, there is news from Lingnan."

Hearing Shangguan Wan'er mentioning Lingnan, the smile on Wu Zhao's face gradually disappeared, and he asked, "Finally, the Song Clan can't help but follow Lu Yan's words, leave Jingzhou and occupy Yizhou?"

Shangguan Wan'er shook her head and replied: "Song Clans Song Yushan and Song Yuhai led an army of [-], and went down the river via Jingzhou to Yangzhou."

Wu Zhao's face suddenly changed when he heard this, and he sat up straight in a jerk.

"At this time, what is the Song faction sending troops to Yangzhou for?"

"They made an excuse in Jingzhou, could it be that they have colluded with Mrs. Li?!"

Thinking of this, Wu Zhao couldn't sit still.

Right now Qiu Shenji can beat Xu Jingye, but if the Song clan gets involved, the situation will be different!

While Wu Zhao was thinking about this matter, Shangguan Wan'er said again: "There is also news from the Chengdu Mansion."

"Li Fan, King of Shu, led an army of [-] troops, and they left Jiameng Pass and headed for Chang'an City."

This time, Wu Zhao's expression completely changed!
In Yangzhou, with Qiu Shenji's ability and Ruan Ruan's help, he can fight against Xu Jingye and the Song Clan.

But if there is a loss in Chang'an City, then the gods will be in danger!
"Who is the guard of Chang'an City?"

"It's Wu Chengsi and Wu Sansi."

When Wu Zhao heard Shangguan Wan'er name Wu Chengsi and Wu Sansi, she remembered that because of Lu Yan's matter, Wu Chengsi and Wu Sansi were dissatisfied, so she transferred Wu Chengsi and Wu Sansi Went to Chang'an City.

On the one hand, it is to keep Wu Chengsi and Wu Sansi away from Lu Yan, so as to avoid conflicts between the two parties.

On the other hand, there are some careful thoughts about retreating to Chang'an.

Although she said that dogs would not go to Chang'an, she still had to retreat to Chang'an as a last resort.

"Immediately send someone to send a letter to Wu Chengsi and Wu Sansi. No matter what, they will defend Chang'an City!"

Wu Zhao immediately gave Shangguan Wan'er an order.

Shangguan Wan'er took the order and was about to pass on the order when Wu Zhao suddenly stopped her again.

"Tell Wu Chengsi and Wu Sansi that they must strictly guard against those Guanlong nobles in Chang'an City. If there is any problem, they can cut it first and then play it!"

"The concubine knows."

After Shangguan Wan'er left, Wu Zhao let out a long breath.

It is almost impossible for Li Fan's [-] army to break through Chang'an City, which is defended by tens of thousands of defenders.

But if the relevant Long nobles cooperated internally and externally, then things would be different.

Therefore, she had to give Wu Chengsi and Wu Sansi the power to kill first and play later. She would rather kill the wrong one than let it go!

Thinking of this, Wu Zhao told the maid beside him, "Go and invite Ruan Ruan over here."

Soon, the maid invited Ruan Ruan, who was resting in the dormitory, over.

After Wu Zhao told Ruan Ruan about the current situation, Ruan Ruan couldn't help showing a look of surprise on her face.

"The Song Clan suddenly moved, and this Li Fan, he actually thought of attacking Chang'an?"

"This Li Fan doesn't move sooner or later, but at this time he moves, there must be an expert behind his back!"

Hearing Ruan Ruan's words, Wu Zhao immediately thought of Lu Yan.

Her face darkened, and she said, "It must be Lu Yan!"

Ruan Ruan shook her head and said, "I only met Lu Yan two days ago, and he said he didn't help Mrs. Li."

Wu Zhao frowned upon hearing this, who else could it be if it wasn't Lu Yan who made the move?

Ruan Ruan suddenly asked: "Where is Dongfang Lan? Where is she?"

At this time Shangguan Wan'er came back, and she said to Wu Zhao: "The concubine forgot to tell the empress just now, Dongfang Lan is now in Li Fan's army."

Wu Zhao snorted coldly and said, "In this way, Li Fan is Dongfang Lan's chosen one!"

Ruan Ruan thought for a while, and said to Wu Zhao: "Senior sister, I have a plan..."

……

Changan.

Doufu.

Since Dou Qing was sent back by Li Yuanba more than a month ago.

The whole Dou Mansion is more peaceful, and few people go out.

During this period of time, invitations to banquets could be rejected as soon as they could be rejected, and communication with the outside world was almost cut off.

And all of this is just an illusion created by Dou Feng's painstaking efforts.

He had already secretly bought relationships, and secretly sent the cronies cultivated by the Dou family over the years to the city defense army.

And in the city defense army, the official rank is not high, but the power is very important.

Originally, he did this to keep Wu Zhao out.

But now it can be changed and used to let Li Fan into the city.

Li Fan had already sent someone to contact Dou Feng before heading to Lingnan.

Dou Feng also replied to Li Fan that as long as Li Fan's army arrived in Chang'an City, Chang'an City would open its gates and welcome Li Fan into the city.

It is also because of this that Li Fan raised his troops and went straight to Chang'an with peace of mind.

"Wu Zhao is too deceitful. This time, the old man wants you to know how powerful I am Dou!"

Just when Dou Feng vowed secretly that he must make Wu Zhao look good, the housekeeper suddenly reported that Wu Chengsi's envoy came.

Dou Feng didn't think much, and directly asked the housekeeper to lead the envoy into the door.

"Master Dou, this is an invitation from my lord, please go to the Martial Manor to attend the banquet tonight."

Dou Feng shook his head and replied: "Go back and tell your lord that the old man is not feeling well recently, so I won't go."

Over the past month or so, the banquets he refused to attend have not been one or two, so he is not afraid that Wu Chengsi will be unhappy.

At this time, the messenger said: "My lord has said that those who don't attend the banquet tonight will be regarded as belonging to the Li family. According to the Queen Mother's order, they can be killed first and then played."

Hearing the envoy's words, Dou Feng took a deep look at the envoy and said, "I know, I will go to the banquet on time tonight!"

……

Drunk Xianju.

After these few days of concentrating on comprehension, Lu Yan is now more and more familiar with the power of heaven and earth, and his affinity is getting higher and higher.

Now the range of the power of heaven and earth he can mobilize has reached a radius of fifteen feet.

In addition, after several days of serious study and experimentation, he finally condensed the first real incarnation.

The avatar at this time was almost exactly the same as Lu Yan in terms of appearance, figure, and facial charm.

As long as an idea arises in his mind, the avatar will do something according to his idea almost at the next moment.

And it is smooth and natural, and there will never be the slightest lag.

When he wanted the avatar to go out of the fifteen feet radius centered on him, the avatar did so without any hesitation.

It's just that when the avatar stepped out of this range, the body began to show signs of collapse.

The farther you go, the faster your body breaks down.

"what!"

Just when Lu Yan was trying to test where the limit of the avatar was, there was a sudden exclamation from the yard.

"Lu Yan, what's wrong with you?!"

Hearing Xie Zhuoyan's exclamation, Lu Yan said, "I'm in the room, I'm fine."

Xie Zhuoyan watched "Lu Yan" crumble inch by inch in front of her.

Hearing Lu Yan's voice coming from the room again, surprise appeared on his face.

When she walked into the room, she saw Lu Yan sitting cross-legged on the bed, his body intact.

She subconsciously turned her head to look behind her again, just in time to see the last piece of "Lu Yan" dissipating in the air.

"What's going on here? Illusion?"

Xie Zhuoyan was very surprised, she had never seen such a strange thing.

Lu Yan replied: "This is the technique I've been practicing recently. It's called one person transforming into three. It can use the power of heaven and earth to condense incarnations."

Xie Zhuoyan was very surprised when he heard this.

There are still such miraculous exercises in this world!

Lu Yan tried to condense a new avatar again. Seeing this, Xie Zhuoyan carefully reached out to touch the avatar.

That kind of touch is like touching a real person, and it is completely impossible to see that this is just an incarnation.

"Well, can I give you a suggestion?"

Xie Zhuoyan glanced at Lu Yan, then at the avatar, with a very strange expression on his face.

Lu Yan asked, "What suggestion?"

Xie Zhuoyan replied: "Can you change his appearance when he condenses his avatar? I feel so strange looking at the two of you."

Lu Yan didn't think about whether to change the face of the avatar when condensing the avatar.

Hearing Xie Zhuoyan's words at this time, he immediately tried to change the appearance and figure of the avatar.

And following his thoughts, the appearance and figure of the avatar really changed dramatically.

The clothes worn by the avatar at this time have changed into light brown strong clothes.

He has a handsome appearance and a good temperament, especially the unique instant noodle hair, which looks very chic.

Xie Zhuoyan looked at the avatar that suddenly changed its appearance, with a look of surprise on his face again.

"Who does this look like?"

"Little Li Tanhua, Li Xunhuan."

"This is Li Xunhuan from "Sentimental Swordsman Ruthless Sword"? Did you imagine it?"

"Let's just say I imagined it."

Although this is just an avatar, Lu Yan still hopes that his avatar can be more handsome and unrestrained.

When the second incarnation can be condensed, an Erlang God will come out.

Xie Zhuoyan studied the avatar and asked, "Does your avatar have martial arts?"

Lu Yan nodded and said: "If the power of heaven and earth around me is sufficient, the avatar can display [-]% of my strength."

"As I get better at mastering this technique, the avatar will be as strong as I am then."

"But I guess it will take a long time."

Xie Zhuoyan exclaimed: "This is already amazing!"

Lu Yan chuckled and said, "After you become a heavenly man, I will teach you this exercise."

Xie Zhuoyan said with a smile: "Okay, then it's a deal."

While Lu Yan was talking with Xie Zhuoyan, Yu Rui's voice suddenly came from outside the room.

"Lu Yan, Xie Zhuoyan, are you there?"

Lu Yan and Xie Zhuoyan turned their heads and looked in the direction of the door.

"Yes, please come in."

As Lu Yan finished speaking, Yu Rui who was standing outside pushed open the door and walked in.

She looked at Lu Yan and Xie Zhuoyan and said, "I came here to say goodbye to you."

Lu Yan looked at Yu Rui with some surprise upon hearing this, and asked, "Are you leaving?"

Yu Rui nodded and said, "Yesterday I received a letter from my second senior brother. They have already gone down the mountain to the Yuzhou area. I am going to meet them there."

The two armies fought, resulting in countless casualties and displacement of the people.

The disciples of Chunyang Palace went down the mountain at this time, on the one hand, it was to save the souls of the dead.

On the other hand, it is to help the people get through this difficult time and contribute to the peace of the world.

Lu Yan heard Yu Rui's words and said, "I'll see you off."

While speaking, Lu Yan had already got up and walked towards the door with Xie Zhuoyan. At this time, Fu Junyue was in the yard.

Apparently, she had also learned that Yu Rui was leaving, so she came here specially to see Yu Rui off.

During this period of time, everyone has been living together, getting along very happily, and they can be regarded as friends.

Now that someone is leaving, it is also necessary to say goodbye.

A group of four came all the way to the gate of the southern city of Shendu.

The three of Lu Yan stood at the gate of the city, watching Yu Rui go away step by step.

Seeing Yu Rui's tall figure slowly go away, Fu Junyue couldn't help feeling a little depressed.

She has been in Shendu for many years, and she doesn't have many friends.

These days, she and Yu Rui got along very well, and it was inevitable that she felt a little bit reluctant to send Yu Rui away at this time.

"Send you thousands of miles, there will be a farewell, let's go."

Lu Yan turned around and walked towards the city.

Fu Junyue looked at Lu Yan, and suddenly asked, "Lu Yan, will you stay in Shendu forever?"

Lu Yan shook his head and replied, "No."

His purpose of coming to Datang has been fulfilled, and now he will leave as soon as he finishes "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms".

The next move may be to continue traveling, or to return to Qixia Town, which is hard to say for the time being.

Hearing Lu Yan's affirmative answer, Fu Junyue couldn't help showing a complex look on his face.

Da da da.

At this moment, there was a sudden sound of horseshoes in the distance.

"Get out of the way! Get out of the way!"

A group of dozens of riders galloped from the south, rushed into the city gate, and passed by Lu Yan and the others.

"He is a person of the Ming religion."

Fu Junyue quickly recognized the identities of these people from their clothes.

Lu Yan looked thoughtfully at the Mingjiao people who were galloping away.

Just when Lu Yan and his party returned to Zuixianju, they met a person in the lobby who surprised Lu Yan, Li Chengen.

When Li Chengen saw Lu Yan enter the door, he immediately stood up and saluted, "Mr. Lu."

Lu Yan came to Li Chengen and asked, "Are you looking for me on purpose?"

Li Chengen nodded and said, "I have something to ask Mr. Lu for help."

"Sit down and talk." Lu Yan pointed to the chair and sat down.

Li Chengen sat down in front of Lu Yan, and said: "Mr. Lu should know that my Tiance Mansion is the department used by the imperial court to manage Jianghu affairs."

Lu Yan nodded and said, "I know that."

Li Chengen continued: "Recently, many Mingjiao disciples have appeared in Shendu, and most of these Mingjiao disciples are wandering around Shangyang Palace."

"After observing secretly, I discovered that Empress Wu seems to have colluded with Mingjiao, intending to establish Mingjiao as the state religion!"

Lu Yan was a little surprised when he heard this.

As a disciple of the Yinkui Sect, Wu Zhao should choose the Yinkui Sect first even if he wants to establish a national religion.

No matter how you calculate it, it's not Mingjiao's turn.

Li Chengen said: "Today I received news that Shu King Li Fan's army was assassinated and attacked by disciples of the Ming Cult after leaving Jiameng Pass."

"If it weren't for the protection of the Holy Maiden of Cihang Jingzhai and the five sons of the Song Clan, the King of Shu would have died in Huangquan now!"

"I received the transfer order, and today I will go to the king of Shu to protect the safety of the king of Shu."

Lu Yan asked curiously, "So what do you want me to do for you?"

Li Chengen replied: "I hope that Mr. Lu can temporarily help me maintain the stability of Shendu, and don't let people in the world make trouble in Shendu."

Lu Yan looked at Li Chengen in surprise, and asked, "Is there no one else in Tiance Mansion except you?"

Li Chengen replied helplessly: "All 120 official disciples of my Tiance Mansion have been sent to various places, and now there are only a few registered disciples remaining in the capital."

"If there are ordinary warriors making trouble in God's Capital, they can still take action to punish them, but if there are masters making trouble, they can't do anything about it."

Lu Yan thought for a while, and then said: "I can agree to help, but only to prevent people in the rivers and lakes from causing trouble, and I don't care about other things."

Hearing this, Li Chengen immediately said happily: "Thank you, Mr. Lu!"

After another brief conversation with Lu Yan, Li Chengen left.

After Li Chengen left, Lu Yan couldn't help sighing and said, "Wu Zhao can't bear it anymore."

Xie Zhuoyan glanced at Lu Yan in surprise, and asked, "You mean Wu Zhao is going to ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor?"

Lu Yan nodded and said, "All 120 official disciples of Tiance Mansion have been transferred away from Shendu for various reasons. Wu Zhao made it clear that all those who might oppose her enthronement and proclaiming emperor in Shendu will be transferred away from Shendu."

"Without the protection of Tiance Mansion around Li Dan, Wu Zhao can dethrone him at any time."

Xie Zhuoyan said: "But Zhao Wang Li Yuanba is still there, he will not let this happen."

Lu Yan shook his head and said, "Did you forget Mingjiao?"

"If Wu Zhao ascends the throne and proclaims himself emperor, Mingjiao will become the state religion. Although Li Yuanba is brave, he might not be able to resist Wu Zhao and Lu Weilou joining forces."

Fu Junyue, who was not far away, heard Lu Yan's words and immediately asked: "In that case, why didn't you tell Li Chengen all this just now?"

Lu Yan replied flatly: "First of all, this is my guess, and it may not be true."

"Secondly, if I tell him he will definitely choose to stay, and his staying will not change anything."

"Letting him leave the capital of God is a kind of protection for him."

While speaking, Lu Yan stood up and walked towards the backyard.

He is only responsible for preventing people from causing trouble in the world.

As for whether Wu Zhao would take this opportunity to ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor, that was out of his consideration.
