Zhutian: My skills are not serious

Chapter 745 Xu Fengnian, do you like your new equipment?
Three days later.

The second floor of Ningcheng Inn.

Xu Fengnian had a dream, a dream that felt very long. The pictures and scenes were very messy. He could only remember the last scene when he was about to wake up. He seemed to have returned to Wudang Mountain and sank into the deep pool behind the Small Lotus Peak again. Wang Zhonglou used the cold water of the pool to inject his Dahuangting into his body. It was almost completed, but who knew that a huge stone pressed down, smashing the golden pool water and knocking him into the endless darkness.

"what……"

As the feeling of weightlessness came, he suddenly woke up, opened his eyes and found himself lying on a bed covered with green bedding, with a clean ceiling above his head. He subconsciously touched his forehead and found that the golden seal was still there, and the Dahuangting was not lost. What made him ecstatic was that the Dahuangting, which had been absorbed by 80%, had now turned a disaster into a blessing and went a step further, and completely became his. Now the realm of his true energy has surpassed the Zhixuan realm and entered the Dazhixuan realm where Wang Zhonglou was before.

Every time Lin Qing tortured him, as long as he didn't die, his internal strength and swordsmanship would reach a higher level.

This made a flame of hope and anger rise in his heart, and then as if he suddenly realized something, he suddenly raised his right arm and looked at his right hand that could grab, grasp, and move at will.

His hand...wasn't it cut off by Lin Qing and frozen into pieces of ice? How did it come back?

Xu Fengnian discovered a light red mark just below his wrist, which was impossible to tell without careful observation.

Is this hand attached?

"Prince, Prince, are you awake?"

With the sound of dong dong dong footsteps, Ning Emei pushed the door open and walked in. The former handsome captain now wore a black eye patch and had a long scar running across his left face, looking very hideous.

Xu Fengnian also discovered that the front end of Ning Emei's right arm was wrapped in thick linen, and her right hand was missing.

He looked at his hand again, and after a long pause, he shouted, "Is this your hand? My hand... is it your hand? Ning Emei? You... you gave me your hand?"

Xu Fengnian was not surprised that Lin Qing was able to reattach his hand. The beast could reattach Chu Lushan's dog legs and eagle claws, and Qi Dangguo's wolf legs and dog legs, let alone human limbs.

Ning Emei: “…”

Xu Fengnian got out of bed, grabbed his clothes and said, "Why did you do this? Why!"

When he found out that Lin Qing was going to attack his elder sister, he didn't think much about it and brought his troops to Huting County. What was he thinking? He thought that Xu Xiao could give up Xu Zhihu, but he would never give up his son. He must have a backup plan, just like when he and the groom went out to travel, in addition to Lao Huang, who pointed to the Black Swordsman, there were also death squads protecting him. This time, there must be a hidden master.

Facts have proved that there were indeed masters who helped him. His grandfather Qi Lianhua, the Spring and Autumn Sword Saint, was a land immortal. But so what? In the end, he still died at the hands of Lin Qing. Lin Qing's cultivation was not as rumored by the outside world. In the battle of Xiangfan City, he and Cao Changqing worked together to cripple Song Nianqing. The upper limit of his martial arts was that of a land immortal. That beast at least had the strength of a celestial being.

Looking back now, the court deliberately spread the propaganda in this way, just to tie Lin Qing to the remnants of Western Chu, to create public opinion basis for the rebellion on Qilaoshan Island and the kidnapping of Princess Suizhu, so that people would not think about whether King Jing'an Zhao Heng killed Lin Qing's entire family to force him to rebel, which was a question that would damage the dignity of the royal family.

Ning Emei: "Prince..."

At this time, Xu Fengnian discovered a situation. Although the flexibility of his two hands was no problem, one was larger than the other, which looked very asymmetrical. Ning Emei was about the same size as him, and the weapon she used was a halberd, which should not be smaller than his hand, so he took his right hand back and looked at it carefully.

After a careful observation, he was immediately overwhelmed. There were no thick calluses from daily practice with the halberd, but it was very delicate. His Highness always thought that he was fairer than a woman, but this hand was more delicate and fair than his left hand.

"This hand is not yours, whose is it?"

Ning Emei: “…”

"Whose are you, I ask?"

"It's... the eldest lady's." Ning Emei glanced at her right arm that had lost its palm and said, "Lin Qing said that you and I have no blood relationship, and if I give you my hand, there might be sequelae, so the eldest lady asked Lin Qing to give you her hand."

"It's from my elder sister... it's from my elder sister!"

No wonder Ning Emei was hesitant, it turns out his right hand belonged to Xu Zhihu!

Xu Fengnian collapsed all of a sudden, holding his head and screaming, his whole body of true energy surged and gushed out, puff puff puff, the bed, wooden basin, table, cabinet, bedding, tea set... in the room were all damaged, even the west wall had a crack, and the small building shook several times. "Where's my elder sister? Where is my elder sister?"

Ning Emei looked at the beast-like Prince, and after a moment's silence, she said, "About an incense stick ago, the eldest lady and Lin Qing left. Seeing that you were not awake, she asked me to tell you to return to Beiliang immediately and listen to the military advisor."

Listen to the military advisor?
Before Xu Fengnian could even finish listening to what was said, he ran out of the room in his white pajamas, went to the first floor, grabbed the shopkeeper by the collar and asked him which gate Lin Qing had left the city from, then rushed out as fast as he could, and after running for half a mile, he stopped in front of a Jingguan. The Jingguan was not big, with only a hundred or so human heads built on it, all of whom were soldiers from the Feng Camp that he brought from Beiliang. The head on the top floor of the Jingguan, with shaved hair and eyebrows, which was quite eye-catching, belonged to his grandfather Qi Lianhua.

"what……"

"Lin Qing, I will kill you, I will kill you!"

The sound was like thunder, startling the birds in the nearby woods and the rabbits behind the bushes. It frightened the people who were fleeing out of the city with their families, who were afraid of being implicated when they heard that Lu Xuanlang had led the Lu family's assassins to massacre everyone in the yamen and then raised the flag of rebellion on the city gate tower.

……

The rebellion of the Lu family in Huting County was not large in scale, with all the death squads totaling only about 200 people. Because they caught the government office and the local army off guard, they killed several times more officials and soldiers than them. As time went on, they were soon defeated by the attack of the Liyang army from Xiongbao County and Tangsong County. Lu Xuanlang eventually committed suicide, the second wife hanged herself, and the death squads raised by the Lu family were also killed completely, and the rebellion was quickly quelled.

A few days later, in Tai'an City, at the vegetable market entrance of North and South Streets.

The residents living under the emperor's feet have a kind of arrogance and sense of superiority, and it is difficult for ordinary things to arouse their curiosity. When they heard that only two or three hundred people from the Lu family of Huting dared to rebel, they all regarded it as a joke. However, when Lu Daolin, the chief academic officer of the Imperial College, and his wife and children in the capital were dragged to the execution ground and were to be beheaded and cut in half, they thought it was fun to watch, so the Caishikou was surrounded by people in three layers.

Lu Daolin, the former Imperial College Priest, was tied up and carried to the execution ground with his hair disheveled and wearing prison clothes. When he heard that he was going to be beheaded, his legs weakened and he was dragged to the huge guillotine by two strong executioners. His eldest son, who was a Hanlin editor, his second son, who was a music assistant, his wife, daughter, nephew, etc. all knelt not far away, looking at him with fear, numbness, or resentment. He was a husband, father, and uncle who was once a third-rank official of the current dynasty and had a very high prestige in the Liyang civil service group.

Without three trials and no review by the Dali Temple, all the Lu family members in Tai'an City were taken to the execution ground.

Lu Daolin saw some familiar faces in the crowd, including Yang Taisui and Xu Xiao in cloaks. He knew very well that the Lu family had no hope of being saved and was doomed. Wang Linquan's family from Laoshan Island was fine, because the court's external propaganda said that the Wang family had long been the running dogs of the Qingzhou Lin family. His Lu family was a third-rank Imperial College priest, and had received many favors from the emperor. Lu Xuanlang actually led his clan's dead men to follow Lin Qing in rebellion, which was equivalent to setting a precedent for a noble family to rebel against the court. He must be sentenced to death to serve as a warning to other noble family officials.

Didn't Zhao Chun know that he and Lu Xuanlang were not of the same mind? He knew! But so what? The court had been repeatedly frustrated in dealing with Lin Qing, and someone had to share the emperor's responsibility. Lu Xuanlang happened to play such a trick, so it was just right for him, the Imperial College's chief academic officer, to take the blame for secretly helping Lin Qing and selling out state intelligence, and help His Majesty solve the problem.

"Lu Xuanlang, Lu Xuanlang, why are you trying to hurt me?"

Looking at the machete raised high, Lu Daolin shouted with hatred on his face.

He couldn't understand why Lu Xuanlang did this even though he knew the consequences of the rebellion. Even if Lin Qing forced him with a knife, couldn't he just commit suicide? What would be the result of the rebellion? The result of the rebellion was that the entire Lu family would be doomed, but committing suicide could save the Lu family in the capital. As a member of the Lu family, he should give everything for the interests of the family.

Swish!
The executioner chopped down with one knife, the rope broke in two, and the big knife fell, cutting Lu Daolin in half. The crowd below exclaimed, and then cheered loudly. Some ruffians whistled, and more people clapped and cheered, calling him a traitor who deserved to be put to death.

Lu Daolin wailed on the ground for a while, then dragged the front half of his body to the body of his eldest son who had been beheaded. He dipped his hands in blood and wrote three words "miserable" before he died. As a result, the executioner poured a bucket of water over him and washed him clean.

After watching this scene, Xu Xiao and Yang Taisui squeezed out of the crowd, talking and laughing as they left.

……

after a while.

On the Guangling River.

Chu Pingsheng's ship was about to leave the border of Western Chu. Ahead was Southern Xinjiang, which was already the southern tip of the continent. Even though it was the coldest time of the year, the grass on the road was still dark green, and only a few of the leaves on the trees had withered and fallen, which was completely different from the northern starlings. The cucumber and the green ant found it very novel. They spent two or three hours a day on the shore, and Chu Pingsheng did not rush them. He let the Red Horse ship stop and go, slowly heading towards Longhu Mountain.

One day, General Fei caught two suckling pigs from somewhere and brought them back to the boat. Huanggua led Ergou's men to the shore to make a fire, preparing to make her specialty, roast suckling pig. You should know that when she was in Beiliang Palace, she was not only good at playing the pipa, but also good at cooking. Lin Xiao started to circle around the fire, drooling with greed, but then she saw Lao Xu leading Xu Zhihu out, so she put the temptation of delicious food behind her and went for a walk with Wang Chudong, taking the new dog for a walk.

Green Ant searched for a while before finding Chu Pingsheng on the bamboo lounge chair on the roof.

"What did Zhao Kai say to you when he left?"
