My cultivation techniques can be infinitely fused.

The two walked out of the hall and came to an open space where their men had already set up camp, finished eating, and were now ready to set off.

As Lu Zheng arrived, Huang Yan stepped forward and said, "Sir, everyone is ready."

"Let's set off then." Lu Zheng mounted his warhorse.

The others followed suit, heading towards the outskirts of the city.

On the street, someone witnessed this scene, quickly disappeared into the alley, and then headed towards the county government office.

These are the yamen runners sent by the county magistrate.

He didn't have any ulterior motives; he just wanted to see what Lu Zheng would do next.

Meanwhile, the Lu family also received the news.

Lu Xiong was destined to have no sleep tonight. He didn't know if the people from those sects recognized him or if they would expose him.

If they knew they were the ones providing backup, they would surely be dead.

Thinking of this, his expression turned extremely ugly.

But there was nothing they could do.

All you can do is keep moving around in the same spot.

In the imperial city, at the residence of the Vice Minister of War, Fu Qing was playing chess with an old servant. He held a black chess piece and slowly said, "Still no news from the Northern Frontier?"

"The assassination failed. The assassins arranged by several sects all died in Fufeng County. There were no of our people there. We don't know exactly how it failed, but we know that after the team that was supposed to support Lu Zheng arrived, all the assassins were lying on the ground, and only he was standing." The old servant said softly.

Fu Qing frowned deeply: "What about the Black Ice Platform? They still haven't made a move?"

"I heard that Eunuch Wang made a bet with Yun Chen to wipe out the sects in the Northern Frontier. However, the Black Ice Guard should be making a move against Lu Zheng soon as well."

"Hehe, this is getting more and more interesting. We've almost finished arranging our people. Let the imperial court wipe us out if they want. If other sects are wiped out, we can take over their territories."

"At that time, the Northern Frontier will be dominated by my Xuanjian Sect." Fu Qing chuckled as he placed the chess pieces on the chessboard.

"Master is incredibly insightful."

"Sigh, it's just the two of us, so stop flattering me. Where's Lu Zheng's younger brother?"

"The letter has already been sent, and it should be on its way to the capital now."

"Fine, then I'll give him a bright future, so Lu Zheng knows how much of an opportunity he's lost," Fu Qing said coldly.

In all these years, he had never been rejected so decisively.

  

Lu Zheng was the first.

The old servant remained silent.

In the city, inside the Third Prince's palace, the Third Prince sat in the main hall and said to the eunuch, "You know, Fu Qing is really interesting. Lu Zheng rejected him, but he turned around and made Lu Zheng's younger brother his closed-door disciple."

Our Vice Minister of War is really petty.

"It seems Your Highness made the right decision not to try and win over Lu Zheng. Otherwise, given Fu Qing's personality, he might even hate you, making it difficult to win him over then," the eunuch said, bowing slightly with a hint of flattery.

"It's a pity. Lu Zheng is indeed very talented and capable. If it weren't for the crucial position of Vice Minister of War, I would have really wanted to win him over. Now I have no choice but to give up." The Third Prince's tone was tinged with regret.

"Once Your Highness ascends the throne and possesses the wealth of the entire world, what kind of talent will you not have? Besides, Lu Zheng's relationship with the Xiao family is still ambiguous. There is no need to pity a mere centurion."

"You're right. Just wait and see. This time, the Hundred Knights and the Black Ice Guard have made a pretty big bet. Let's see who wins."

At this time, many people in the Great Xia Dynasty focused their attention on the northern frontier.

After all, this place has always been very important.

Throughout history, dynasties have always unified the northern frontier before unifying the south.

The Great Xia Dynasty is making a major move in northern Xinjiang.

Naturally, this attracted attention.

If the imperial court truly stabilizes the northern border this time, then even if the current emperor passes away, there will still be a major war to fight.

At this moment, Lu Zheng didn't care about any of that. All he was thinking about was doing his own thing.

He led his army directly out of the city and has now arrived outside Wangjiazhuangzi.

Wang Yan, the head of the Wang family, was a big shot in the area, but he always kept a low profile. Although he was a powerful figure, he never flaunted his abilities.

Even Lu Zheng was surprised to find that it was someone from the Xuanjian Sect.

After the army completely surrounded the entire village, leaving no way out.

Lu Zheng rode his warhorse to the gate.

At this moment, there was no movement inside, which meant that they had obviously discovered Lu Zheng and his group.

They've started taking precautions.

"Break down the door!"

More than a dozen strongmen immediately carried a huge log and rammed it against the gate.

At that moment, a head popped out from above the doorway.

A large number of soldiers appeared, drawing their bows and shooting arrows downwards.

"Jingle bells!"

Sparks flew as strongmen on either side held shields for protection, arrows striking the shields with a crisp sound.

"suppress!"

Lu Zheng gave the order again.

All the imperial guards raised their crossbows and fired continuously upwards.

"Boom!"

At this moment, the strongman took the opportunity to carry the giant log and continue to ram it towards the gate.

Although Zhuangzi was sturdy when it was built, Lu Zheng and his men were equipped with weapons designed for siege warfare.

Therefore, the gate was smashed down in no time.

"kill!"

The guards inside blocked the city gate, ready to resist.

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh!"

The next moment, the sound of crossbow bolts piercing the air rang out.

The imperial guards behind them continued to fire.

The guards fell to the ground one by one.

"Charge in!" At this moment, Wei Cheng appeared in front, holding two warhammers, and charged straight into the crowd, like a tiger entering a flock of sheep.

With a swing of the two warhammers, the soldiers who were grazed by them died instantly, and those who were touched by them were injured.

His armor was so strong that the weapons the guards wielded couldn't even budge him.

Just then, a figure appeared on the wall. It was Wang Yan, the head of the Wang family. He stared coldly at Lu Zheng and said, "Lord Commander, my Wang family has always been law-abiding. Three years ago, the Rongdi invaded."

"You even assisted the imperial court in stopping them. It's inappropriate for you to lead your troops into my estate without saying a word."

Wang Yan was wearing a blue brocade robe and carrying a long sword in his hand.

Within his lean body, powerful energy was flowing.

The clothes were all fluttering in the wind.

He is clearly a master.

After witnessing this scene, Lu Zheng was certain that the Wang family head was indeed a member of a sect.

The aura emanating from him is too strong.

He has probably reached the peak of true essence.

Lu Zheng looked at Li Tong: "This person is yours."

This time, Lu Zheng brought enough men; it could be described as a battle of plenty.

Following his order.

Without hesitation, Li Tong leaped into the air and charged towards Wang Yan with a flash of golden light in his hand.

The thirteen men following behind each held weapons; their movements were unpredictable, and their swordsmanship was even more cunning.

Apart from Li Tong, the others are all at the Meridian Opening Realm, and they also seem to have a combined sword technique.

He suppressed Wang Yan as soon as he made a move.

At this moment, Lu Zheng no longer cared about anything else.

He rode his warhorse and led his men straight into the manor.
