This martial artist just wants to be an official

Chapter 438 Fake Failure
Lu Yuanzhi's voice drifted slowly with the evening breeze.

Hai Wuyang was a little confused for a moment after hearing this.

What does it have to do with my father?

Could it be that his father had played a role in this war? ?
He wanted to think about something more, but when he saw Lu Yuanzhi riding his horse and leading his troops to a farther distance, he spurred his horse to catch up.

When 100,000 Yong soldiers, led by Lu Yuanzhi, left the Chongbei border and headed towards the deeper grasslands.

The hot search for him beheading the Demon King has already topped the list.

A huge discussion broke out throughout Dayong.

Now that the new emperor has ascended the throne, he has not yet established a firm foothold in the court.

It is even less well-known among the people.

On the contrary, Lu Yuanzhi's reputation has spread throughout the entire Dayong territory.

Whether in the martial arts world or among the common people, even children who are just beginning their education in school know that I, the Duke of Dayongbei, just turned twenty years old, led my army to defeat the demon soldiers and even killed the Demon King in the battle formation.

Twenty years old! Some people haven't even gotten married yet, but they have already killed countless people and made great contributions to the country.

Who can do this in the past and present?? ! !

What's more, he married the princess of the current dynasty, who was the most beloved princess of the late emperor.

This honor, let alone in the entire Dayong, even if you look back at the long history, who can have such an achievement?

Therefore, when everyone in the entire Dayong was still in danger, the news suddenly spread that the Demon King was beheaded by Lu Yuanzhi. It can be said that Lu Yuanzhi is now the god of the entire Dayong.

As long as he doesn't rebel, no one can touch him.

However, Lu Yuanzhi couldn't know this news for the time being.

He has now led his troops out of the grassland, and before him are countless mountain ranges connected together, endless mountains.

"General, if we go further in, we will reach the Demon Mountain Ferry."

In front of Yumen Pass, countless Yong soldiers looked at Lu Yuanzhi, who was standing on his horse with his sword drawn, their eyes full of anticipation.

That was their leader, a godlike man.

Lu Yuanzhi's eyes were deep.

After being the commander-in-chief for such a long time, he has gradually developed an aura of majesty without even getting angry.

"Ah."

Lu Yuanzhi nodded lightly and looked back. Yumen Pass was in the distance. Although more than 20 years had passed, he could still vaguely feel the tragic scene of the battle of Yumen Pass more than 20 years ago.

"Order all Yong troops to rest on the spot and wait for orders!"

"Yes!"

After receiving Lu Yuanzhi's military orders, the man turned around and rode away, passing on Lu Yuanzhi's orders to each battalion.

Lu Yuanzhi looked at the deep mountains in front of him with a deep look in his eyes.

At this moment, with just one order, he can lead an army of 100,000 into the mountains and kill all the monsters he sees.

But that is not necessary. Who can kill all the monsters in the Hundred Thousand Monster Mountains?

He had only one purpose in bringing his troops here this time, and that was to have his name thoroughly engraved in the history of the demon race, so that they would want to eat his flesh whenever they mentioned him, but would pretend to be afraid of him on the surface.

At that time, you only need to pick out a leader, a leader you can fully control, to complete the control of the demon clan. At that time, the entire Dayong will be able to suck the blood of the demon clan.

And he has already chosen this leader.

It's not the moon.

On the contrary, the reason why he led his troops to the Demon Mountain this time was to kill Chao Yue.

After all the soldiers had rested in place, Lu Yuan dismounted and slowly walked to the big tent that had just been set up for him.

Before entering the mountain, he had to wait for one more person.

Five forwards.

A few days ago, he sent Wu Qianfeng to meet up with Ju Lei and Ju Qing who were still in Qizhou City.

Because they were loyal subordinates of Marquis Weiwu, when Wu Qianfeng went forward, Ju Lei and Ju Qing led their troops out of the city without any hesitation to join them and defeated the demon soldiers.

According to the news, Wu Qianfeng's 20,000 troops, together with Ju Lei and Ju Qing's 50,000 troops, are preparing to come in this direction.

He would wait for them.

This total of 170,000 troops is a good gift prepared for the demon clan.

I hope they can accept it.

The corners of Lu Yuanzhi's mouth curled up slightly.

His plan was simple. He would lead the charge with high-quality combat forces to create a deterrent effect, and then let these soldiers follow behind to help him clean up the mess.

When they arrived at the Demon Kingdom and Demon Capital, they would kill Chao Yue in front of all the existing leaders of the demon tribes and support a new leader to take the throne.

But how can we convince this leader?
Very simple.

Lu Yuanzhi walked into the tent with a smile.

With a wave of his hand, two figures were released from his scripture space.

"Owner!"

Bin still had the feminine eyes and ruthless temperament, but after seeing Lu Yuanzhi, a respectful look appeared on his face.

And the other figure... was none other than Ning Mo, the princess of the Mingli tribe who had assassinated the mighty Houyao clan.

At this time, after being released by Lu Yuanzhi, the two monsters had a confused look on their faces. Then, after seeing Lu Yuanzhi, they all saluted Lu Yuanzhi.

"Ah."

Lu Yuanzhi just nodded faintly, then looked at the two of them and said:
"I want to release the two of you back to the Monster Mountain."

Um? ?

After hearing Lu Yuanzhi's words, Ning Mo and Bin were both stunned.

Then the two of them realized the aura of the land here...

"Is this the Wan Yao Ferry?"

Ning Mo's perception was obviously better than Bin's. He could sense the atmosphere here just by closing his eyes. He suddenly opened his eyes and looked at Lu Yuanzhi in disbelief:
"Master, do you have any orders to let us return to the demon tribe?"

Naturally, she refused to believe that Lu Yuanzhi was willing to release the two of them back to the demon clan for no reason.

"Ah."

Lu Yuanzhi looked at the two of them with great interest, then slowly sat down on the chair in his tent. His eyes sparkled as he said:
"Now the Demon King has died under my sword, and the leaders of the demon tribes have also been killed or injured. The 300,000 troops sent by the demon tribe to attack Dayong have also been killed or injured."

When they said this, Ning Mo and Bin looked almost stupid.

"Demon... Demon King... That guy...died under your sword???"

Bin's jaw was somewhat dislocated.

As the strongest warrior of the Dark Fox Tribe, he had seen the Demon King. The Demon King's might was so powerful that no one dared to look directly at him. Not to mention Lu Yuanzhi, even he himself would be killed instantly by his move...

His impression of Lu Yuanzhi still remained in Hangzhou last time, when he had to go up and kill a mere fourth-rank human warrior together with the princess and two demons...

"Well... this is a long story, and I don't want to talk to you two too much. You can find out more information after you return to the demon tribe. I only give you two a task. If you complete it well, I can keep you two in the demon tribe."

"If you can't complete it, then there's no point in keeping you two monsters."

Lu Yuanzhi's voice was not loud, but it made Ning Mo and Bin Eryao shudder.

"I wonder what mission the master is talking about?"

Their lives all depend on Lu Yuanzhi's one thought. Ning Mo and Bin were distressed, but there was nothing they could do.

After a long silence, Ning Mo and Bin looked at each other, then looked up at Lu Yuanzhi cautiously.

Lu Yuanzhi was still playing with the jade pot in his hand leisurely. He looked up at Ning Mo nonchalantly and said:
"I want you to be the new queen of the Demon King!"

"ah??!!"

Ning Mo wondered if she had heard something wrong. She pointed at herself with a confused look on her face:

"Me?" Bin was also a little confused. He looked at Lu Yuanzhi in astonishment and said:

"There must be at least 200 demon tribe leaders. Even though the princess is extremely talented, she can't convince the crowd!!"

"hehe."

Lu Yuanzhi smiled faintly and said slowly:

"More than half of the demon leaders are dead or wounded. Now there are 170,000 Yong soldiers outside the tent. I want to lead the troops to kill all the remaining leaders. When we attack the demon capital, I estimate that there will be only a few left."

"But I don't have that kind of prestige..."

Ning Mo looked a little hesitant. As the queen of the demon race...

To be honest, she was very moved.

After all, before the Faceless Demon Emperor, the leader of the demon clan was the Skytail Demon Emperor.

The Heavenly Tail Demon Queen is the Queen.

Which ambitious demon woman doesn't want to be the demon queen?
But this thing is just a dream. I can only think about it on weekdays. Who can achieve it? Who has the strength to do it?

"Prestige? That's easy."

Lu Yuanzhi said slowly:

"You two go back like this, and every time I attack a mountain, you two will come out to block me for a while, and then I will deliberately hold back and let you two go."

"When I attack the Demon Capital, the prestige of the two of you will be great."

As soon as these words were spoken, Ning Mo and Bin Eryao looked at each other, and they could see the desire in each other's eyes.

The lower class of the demon race is the most stupid, and it only takes a few tricks to make them submit. If so, it is indeed possible!!

Thinking of this, Ning Mo's heart started beating fast. She suddenly knelt down and bowed to Lu Yuanzhi:
"I respect the master's orders!!!"

"The guest also respects the master's orders!!"

When Bin thought that he could become a close friend of the demon king of the demon clan, his heart was extremely excited for a moment.

"hehe."

Lu Yuanzhi smiled faintly and said:

"When we get to the Demon Capital, I will kill all the former royal family members of the Demon Clan. By then, your last bit of resistance will be gone. Do you understand?"

"Of course I understand. Master, you are so thoughtful. I really admire you."

Ning Mo wanted to give Lu Yuanzhi the best compliments in the world.

"Well, let's go. Make some noise in the Wan Yao Ferry mountain before I do. Let them all know about you. Then you can do your best to stop me."

"Yes!"

After hearing this, Ning Mo and Bin did not hesitate any longer. They stood up, bowed to Lu Yuanzhi, and headed towards the ferry crossing of Wan Yao Ferry.

Looking at the backs of the two, Lu Yuanzhi still had an intriguing smile on his face.

It seems that these two were also the chess pieces that the national master had already thought of.

You know, the contract to control these two people was given to me by the National Master.

……

Two days later, the army led by Wu Qianfeng slowly arrived.

The mighty force of the 70,000-strong army slowly merged into Lu Yuanzhi's 100,000-strong army.

The transport and baggage line of the 170,000-strong army alone was tens of thousands of miles long.

The cost to the country of Dayong was almost unprecedented.

However, with Jianhong's decades of operation, although the national treasury is a little tight, it is definitely not on the verge of collapse.

This is also the reason why Lu Yuanzhi is so confident about this battle.

"Master Lu."

Wu Qianfeng was exhausted from the journey and as soon as he arrived at Yumen Pass, he went to Lu Yuanzhi's tent to ask for a meeting.

"come in."

When Lu Yuanzhi heard Wu Qianfeng's increasingly steady voice, a smile appeared on his face.

"Yes."

Wu Qianfeng walked in slowly and handed the sword on his body to the soldier at the door of Lu Yuanzhi.

Although Lu Yuanzhi had said that Wu Qianfeng could bring weapons when he came to see him, Wu Qianfeng had never brought any.

After arriving in front of Lu Yuanzhi, Wu Qianfeng knelt on the ground:
"Fortunately, I have fulfilled my mission. In a battle outside Qizhou City, I killed 70,000 enemies and annihilated all the demon tribes in Dayong."

"Yes, Not Bad."

Lu Yuanzhi smiled slowly, he walked up to Wu Qianfeng and gently helped him up:
"Don't be so reserved. You are already someone close to me. If I am still so strict with you, who would dare to get close to me in the future?"

"The etiquette cannot be abolished."

Wu Qianfeng was still respectful. In his eyes, Lu Yuanzhi would always be his guide.

Although he is much older than Lu Yuanzhi.

But age has never been a criterion for judging a person, either in the court or in history.

The revenge for one’s father’s murder is the greatest revenge.

He blamed the Demon King for his father's death.

And by killing the Demon King, Lu Yuanzhi was a way to avenge himself.

In addition, he has been promoted by Lu Yuanzhi since he was a middle-level officer, and he will never forget this great favor in his life.

It can be said that even if Lu Yuanzhi asked him to die now, as long as he spoke in a more eloquent way, he would not even frown.

"You."

Seeing Wu Qianfeng being so stubborn, Lu Yuanzhi just shook his head and smiled, then personally brought him a chair:
"Sit down quickly."

"Thank you, Marshal."

Wu Qianfeng dared to sit down slowly only after he had completed his salute.

"Yong En, I am leading my troops to attack the monsters this time, and I want you to be the vanguard. What do you think?"

There were only two people in the big tent. Lu Yuanzhi played with the jade pot in his hand, looked up at Wu Qianfeng and asked calmly.

Yongen is Wu Qianfeng's name.

"I will obey the commander's orders."

"Well, you and I have all witnessed the fighting power of the Yuanyang Army in the mountains. You are the only one who can be the vanguard this time, and... take a look at the map."

Lu Yuanzhi slowly unfolded a huge map.

The map shows the entire appearance of Wan Yao Mountain.

Each mountain marks a demon tribe.

"What's blocking our army right now are the three mountains of Wan Yao Ferry. Each of them has at least 100,000 demon tribes, which adds up to 300,000. Although they are all low-level demons who are not smart enough to fight, there are still some capable warriors..."

Lu Yuanzhi slowly pointed to one of the mountain paths:
"I want you to lead your troops to this flat-topped mountain, march through the mountains, slow down the attack, and wait for someone to show up."

"Who?"

Wu Qianfeng was stunned, a look of confusion appeared on his face.

"Ning Mo and Bin."

Lu Yuanzhi smiled and continued, "If you encounter these two people blocking you, pretend to be defeated, lead your troops to retreat from this mountain, and then join our army."

"how so?"

Wu Qianfeng frowned slightly, with a look of doubt on his face.
