This martial artist just wants to be an official

Chapter 488 Reaching an Alliance
After putting away the narrow knife, Lu Yuanzhi walked towards the door.

"crunch~"

As Lu Yuanzhi pushed open the door in front of him, a respectful face appeared before him.

"Mr. Lu, are you out of seclusion?"

Ying Xian's eye circles were noticeably darker, and his face looked a little haggard.

Obviously, during the days that Lu Yuanzhi was in seclusion, he stayed here all the time.

"Ah."

Lu Yuanzhi replied indifferently.

On the surface, there was nothing wrong with Lu Yuanzhi's condition, it was the same as before he went into seclusion.

After secretly observing for a while, Ying Xian breathed a sigh of relief.

"Has the leader of Chusheng summoned my delegation in recent days?"

While the two were talking, they had already arrived at the main hall. Lu Yuanzhi sat on a chair, took a sip of the tea bowl handed to him by the servant, and looked up at Ying Xian.

Ying Xian bowed slightly and said respectfully:
"Replying to Lord Lu, the leader of the sudden birth only sent people to express his condolences to the delegation, and did not say anything else. However, Xuanshu from the Buddhist sect came several times to see you, but I turned him down."

"Ah."

Lu Yuanzhi nodded slowly, then pondered for a while.

I guess the sudden death of not summoning the envoys must have been because he wanted to talk to me in person and was waiting for me to come out.

"By the way, this is something Xuan Shu gave you."

Ying Xian took out a porcelain bottle from his arms and handed it to Lu Yuanzhi.

"what is this?"

Lu Yuanzhi raised his eyebrows, looked at the bottle with a very Western style, took it in his hand and asked.

"Xuan Shu said that this is a holy medicine that can restore one's essence... But I don't think he would be so kind."

Ying Xian answered truthfully.

But obviously, because Ying Xian had a verbal conflict with Xuanshu on the day when Xuanshu lectured on Buddhism, this suspicion was highly personal.

"Oh."

Lu Yuanzhi took the bottle curiously and removed the cork from it.

A strong medicinal fragrance rushed straight into Lu Yuanzhi's nostrils.

"Whoo~"

Lu Yuanzhi took a deep breath.

Just from the scent of the medicine he could feel the urge to swallow it.

Lu Yuanzhi is actually quite knowledgeable, and his knowledge about some elixirs is no worse than anyone else.

After all, he had been to the important alchemy room in Pei Yinlang's yamen more than once.

"This medicine is quite useful to me."

On the surface, Lu Yuanzhi did not eagerly swallow it. He calmly put it into his scripture space, then looked up at Ying Xian and said:
"Where is the delegation?"

"Mr. Lu, all the envoys are resting in their rooms. You have been in seclusion these days, and I am afraid that if something happens, I will not be able to handle it, so I ordered all the envoys to stay indoors."

Yingxian answered honestly.

"good."

Lu Yuanzhi appreciated Yingxian's decisions.

Although Ying Xian is not a very talented subordinate, he handles things in a decent manner and is quite useful.

Hearing Lu Yuanzhi's praise, Ying Xian finally breathed a sigh of relief.

He also knew that his brain didn't work very quickly, so he had to think twice before doing anything.

"But there are some bad rumors on the street recently..."

Ying Xian's face showed some hesitation, and he looked at Lu Yuanzhi evasively.

"What rumors?"

Lu Yuanzhi raised his eyebrows and looked at Ying Xian.

In his impression, Ying Xian has always been a quick-witted person. Is there anything that cannot be said directly?
Ying Xian saw Lu Yuanzhi's gaze and smiled:
"They said that our Great Yong envoys were the cause of the disaster and asked the leader Chusheng to execute us..."

?

Lu Yuanzhi was stunned for a moment, and then his eyes became serious:

"What about it?"

"Before you came back to retreat that day, a huge earth dragon occurred outside the capital, and a deep pit dozens of miles long appeared outside the city gate. It was like an abyss, causing countless lives to be destroyed, and some civilians also suffered..."

Ying Xian said this while looking at Lu Yuanzhi cautiously.

These days, every time he heard the news, he suspected that it was related to Mr. Lu, but as a subordinate, he certainly could not take the initiative to ask about such things.

"Haha, I wonder what it is."

Lu Yuanzhi chuckled, raised his eyebrows and looked at Ying Xian and asked:

"How does Chusheng deal with these rumors?"

The so-called earth dragon stirring means "earthquake".

As for that abyss... if nothing unexpected happens, it should be left behind after I killed the old monk, and it was spread as an earthquake.

None of these are important. What is important is the attitude of the leaders in southern Xinjiang.

"I don't know..." Ying Xian thought for a moment and added:

"But I think we should just ignore it. The rumors haven't gotten as intense these past two days as they did during the two days you were in seclusion."

“That’s human intervention.”

Lu Yuanzhi smiled and nodded.

It seems that Chu Sheng was unwilling to see that on the eve of cooperation with Dayong, the people's attitude towards the Dayong delegation remained opposed.

It seems that Chu Sheng is ready to form an alliance with Dayong.

This is a good thing.

After learning about the status of the delegation today, Lu Yuanzhi returned to his room to rest.

He desperately needs time to recover now.

Although the autonomous recovery of a third-grade warrior is also fast, it is not as direct as actively circulating his breath, so Lu Yuanzhi healed his wounds while waiting for news from Su Sheng.

Since I have come out of seclusion, Chusheng must have also received the news. After all, I did not hide the fact that I had come out of seclusion.

As expected by Lu Yuanzhi, on the morning of the second day after leaving the border, envoys from Southern Xinjiang came to visit the Dayong delegation.

Lu Yuanzhi did not bring anyone else with him. He rode his horse alone and followed the messenger to the main hall of the Southern Xinjiang Imperial City again.

It will still be that huge long table.

However, Lu Yuanzhi's position is different from last time.

He was already sitting next to Xiangbo, the rough leader of the Rakshasa.

It can be said that in Chu Sheng's mind, this seat has put him on par with the two leaders, Lilixing and Xiangbo.

"I have summoned all the leaders here today to witness the first alliance between Dajiang and Beiyong!" A hearty smile appeared on Chusheng's face.

After eating and drinking, it was time to talk about business.

After hearing the sudden sound, Lilixing and Xiangbo of the Rakshasa tribe both had smiles on their faces.

Obviously, forming an alliance with Beiyong is something they would welcome.

After hearing this, all the other leaders, big and small, shut their mouths even if they were neutral or skeptical.

Things have developed to this point and it is no longer something they can control.

All they could do was to obey the orders of the chief and the two left and right leaders.

"After the alliance is formed, we will discuss the details of the battle, where we will send our troops, how we will attack the demon tribe, and how we will distribute the benefits after the siege..."

The sudden voice rang out in the hall, and his eyes moved across Lu Yuanzhi's face.

Lu Yuanzhi chuckled, raised his eyebrows and looked at Chu Sheng and said:
"Please rest assured, Chief Chusheng. I, Dayong, don't want much. Just a few mountains..."

Lu Yuanzhi had already prepared for this.

He took out a huge map from his scripture space.

All the 100,000 mountains where the demon clan lives were marked.

After showing it, he stood in front of the map and pointed at several small tunnels on the map:
"I, Dayong, only want these few places."

Those few places take up less than a quarter of the map.

In fact, before coming, Lu Yuanzhi had already completed all the investigations and surveys.

See all the places of the demon clan clearly.

The places he chose were basically mountains with major resources such as iron ore and gold mines.

As for the remaining ones, although the geographical conditions are not bad, compared with these mountains, they have no practical value to Dayong.

He pointed to the remaining map and said:
"The remaining places are specially reserved by me for southern Xinjiang. These places are very beneficial to southern Xinjiang in terms of living conditions and water resources, especially here."

He pointed his finger at a huge river and continued:
"This river passes through the entire Jiuzhou. Its main course is in the Yaozu, bordering the lakes in the southern border. If there are tribes willing to migrate, they can start from this river. At that time, Dayong is willing to provide boats for the leaders."

Then he said seriously:

"Moreover, the resources in this river are also extremely vast. Living on both sides of this river will greatly improve the lives of the common people in the tribes of southern Xinjiang, and will also make it easier for the leaders of southern Xinjiang to herd their people."

After hearing his words, everyone looked at the map.

What Lu Yuanzhi said was very right. There were not many things that Dayong wanted on the map, just a few mountains.

Moreover, that river just happened to point to the lifeline of the leaders in southern Xinjiang.

Even if they did not migrate away, and were still in southern Xinjiang, this river would still be an excellent road, facilitating communication between southern Xinjiang and the demon tribe.

But in the past, this river was strictly guarded by the demon tribe, and there was no chance at all.

But if we can wipe out the demon race in one fell swoop...

Lilixing didn't feel much good about the confrontation with the leader of the Rakshasa tribe.

Because the Zir and Luosha tribes lived extremely well in southern Xinjiang, they had firmly seized the best resources and locations.

But the small leaders didn’t think so. After seeing the map and the future scene described by Lu Yuanzhi, they were instantly excited.

Especially the tribal leaders living in the desert, they know only too well how harsh their living conditions are.

If one could live in the demon tribe's mountains and rivers full of water and vast forests, who would be willing to suffer in the desert?
Without even thinking, those little leaders stood up and applauded.

"Okay! We agree with what the Duke of Dayongbei said!"

"Yes! Now I can't wait to conquer the demon tribe!"

"........."

At least twenty or thirty small leaders looked at Lu Yuanzhi with sparkling eyes.

Hearing these words, Lu Yuanzhi smiled and waved his hand:
"We should all thank Chief Chusheng. If it weren't for him facilitating this alliance, I'm afraid we wouldn't have such an opportunity."

Chusheng had been listening to Lu Yuanzhi's speech silently, and when he said this, he chuckled:
"In that case, I will send a leader to investigate in person. If it is really as the Duke of Beiguo said, then I will have no objection."

In fact, Sudden Birth has always faced a pain point, that is, DJI claims to have hundreds of units and a large number of people.

This is a good thing.

But there are pros and cons. The hundred tribes is indeed not an exaggeration, and it may even be said to be too few. The tribal leaders who can sit in this hall are considered to be the leaders of the larger tribes.

In some unknown corners, there are actually quite a few tribes in southern Xinjiang. The population of these tribes is not large, some tribes have dozens of people, some tribes have hundreds of people...

It can't even be called a tribe, it can only be called a village.

However, these people do not have a strong sense of belonging to Southern Xinjiang, and forcing them to belong to Southern Xinjiang is time-consuming and labor-intensive and not worth the effort...

So although Southern Xinjiang looks very big and powerful, it is actually just empty talk.

The shell is not small, but there are not many resources that can be mobilized suddenly.

If we could find one place to move all these small tribes with harsh living conditions and manage them centrally, within thirty years, they would become an extremely powerful force for southern Xinjiang.

These tribes would certainly be willing to move to a better place.

After all, there is no such thing as returning to one's roots in southern Xinjiang. Wherever there are good resources, that's a good place.

"Of course."

Lu Yuanzhi laughed. He was not afraid of Nanjiang sending people to come and see. Let them see. Anyway, every word he said was true. It’s just that there were some things he didn’t say much.

After staying in the hall for another day, Lu Yuanzhi returned to the delegation after eating and drinking his fill.

"Mr. Lu, how is this trip?"

Wang Xianping was the Minister of Rites, and he felt a little uncomfortable that Lu Yuanzhi did not bring him into the palace this time. However, he did not dare to show it in front of the delegation. After all, not to mention the delegation, even in the entire Dayong, there was no one who did not obey Lu Yuanzhi.

“It’s half done.”

Lu Yuanzhi smiled lightly, looking at the delegation members and said:

"Forming an alliance is not something that can be done overnight. Even at the fastest speed, it will take until the end of next year for the two countries to join forces and attack the demon tribe."

Indeed, this is true. Forming an alliance or fighting a war cannot be done hastily.

"So, Chief Chusheng has agreed to form an alliance with Dayong?"

Wang Xianping quickly grasped the key point of Lu Yuanzhi's words.

"That's natural. He can't refuse anything that is mutually beneficial."

Lu Yuanzhi nodded.

“Haha! Great!!”

The mission that Wang Xianping received when he followed the delegation was to facilitate cooperation between the two countries. Now that it has been successful, it is a great achievement for him!
After returning, promotion will be a natural thing.

"Well, let's celebrate tonight. It's a great honor for all of us in the delegation to have come here after traveling thousands of miles with determination and have accomplished something unique!"

There was also relief in Lu Yuanzhi's voice.

Throughout the ages, the Central Plains and the ethnic minorities in southern Xinjiang have always been at war with each other, and it is rare for them to form an alliance.

Today's event was materialized by Lu Yuanzhi, and he will certainly have a prominent place in history books in the future.

Of course, everyone in the delegation today has this.
