It turned out that Zhou Lu really had no choice. After much thought, it would definitely be useless to solve the problem secretly. As a secret weapon of the military, it is very difficult for even military personnel to get access to the Divine Machine Armor. Therefore, he wanted Wu Wei and the others to quietly approach the Divine Machine Armor. There was no possibility at all. Besides, the Divine Machine Armor was not It's a dead object. If Wu Wei and the others attack it, the Divine Machine Armor will definitely resist. In this way, the matter will eventually be exposed. Zhou Lu faced the strongest delegation in history led by the two patriarchs. He knew very well how seriously Lingdu took this matter. If he didn't come up with a perfect countermeasure, things would only get worse.
In the end, Zhou Lu made a decision and decided to use this summary meeting to hijack the leader of the hawks, Marshal Feng, in order to blackmail the military and exchange it with the Divine Machine Armor. However, before the plan was implemented, Zhou Luqian told Wan Dingzhu that Wu Weiqian must not hurt Marshal Feng. Wu Wei was also a good person and agreed immediately. For Wu Wei, if he could solve the problem without fighting the Shenji Armor, that would be the best result. To be honest, Wu Wei still has a clear understanding of himself. Since Huang Jue was defeated by the divine machine armor, he may not be their opponent. Of course, there are two more powerful clan leaders coming this time. However, these two clan leaders have always been aloof people, so it is better not to use them.
With Zhou Lu's careful planning, the plan went very smoothly, and thus, the current scene appeared. However, the military is not stupid either. Soon, smart people took over the entire
Things have been thought out clearly. Obviously, without the help of Xifeng's inner ghost, a cultivator like Wu Wei would not be able to sneak into Nujiang City so easily and still participate in this summary meeting.
Adjutant Feng Dashuai's question pierced Zhou Lu's heart like a sharp thorn. Zhou Lu also understood that if he did this, he would definitely not be able to hide it from a smart person. However, when the adjutant accused him indiscriminately, his emotions suddenly burst out.
Zhou Lu looked very excited and shouted at the adjutant: "How do you see that I completely ignore the commander's life? You don't know anything? If I don't do this, your military will be able to use the Shenji Armor Hand over the manipulator? You yourself know that this manipulator is a cultivator from Lingdu Continent. For the military's own selfish interests, you controlled this manipulator. Now, Lingdu is here to ask for someone Now. What do you think I should do? If I let it go, people will definitely come knocking on my door. Have you all forgotten the last tragedy? Do you still hope it will happen again? "
Not to be outdone, the adjutant retorted directly: "Because of the last tragedy, we learned the hard way and used the most advanced technology to create the divine machine armor. With the protection of the divine machine armor, do you think that with this man from Will Captain Wu from Lingdu Continent be able to defeat the Divine Machine Armor? I think there should be no return."
Zhou Lu was immediately irritated. He shouted angrily at the adjutant: "You know nothing. You think you are the only one who is smart. Everyone has already had the strength of the Divine Machine Armor."
It was obvious to everyone that since they could come here, they must have the strength to defeat the Divine Machine Armor. I just don’t want to make the matter a big deal, because I won’t be able to hide it from the media. Once the general public knows about the situation of the Shenji Armor, many people will definitely be very disappointed. We have finally unified our thinking and achieved a huge victory in the incident against the cultivator refugees. If the last tragedy happened again at this time, how would we explain it to the people? Where does the government's prestige lie? These are not trivial matters. Once people's hearts wander, the good situation we have finally achieved will be ruined. "
When Hao Yun heard what Zhou Lu said, he immediately became nervous. This meant that Wu Wei was definitely not the only one coming this time, and there might be someone stronger hiding aside. Hao Yun came to Yao Li's side and asked softly: "Take a closer look. Is there anyone you know here?"
Since there is no spiritual consciousness, it is indeed difficult to identify through vision. However, since Zhou Luhui said so, there must be a hidden enemy. Just as Hao Yun and Yao Li were identifying the people around them, Marshal Feng in Wu Wei's hand suddenly spoke.
"Old friend, you don't need to be so radical. Everything is easy to talk about. You can just talk to me before. Maybe, things are not as difficult as you think." Marshal Feng's throat was very dry and he could only use The hoarse voice whispered.
Zhou Lu was stunned for a moment, shook his head and said with a bitter smile: "Why don't I want to discuss it with you, but you also know that this summary meeting has already shown the magic plan.
War armor is the best weapon to deal with powerful cultivators. If it weren't for the excellent performance of the Shenji Armor, we might not be able to successfully resolve this crisis. If, at this time, I proposed to return the controller of the Divine Machine Armor to the Lingdu Continent, wouldn't this be an act of naked treason? What's more, you don't have the final say in the military alone. If it embarrasses you, it's better for me to bear the infamy, don't you think? Old friend. "
Hao Yun heard what Zhou Lu said on the sidelines and understood in his heart that Zhou Lu actually knew everything. He clearly knew that even if this plan succeeded, his political career would definitely be over. Your reputation will also be ruined. However, he still did it without hesitation. To be honest, Zhou Lu's spirit of sacrifice should make people feel moved. However, no matter how Hao Yun thought about it, it felt a little strange.
After Hao Yun thought about it carefully, he discovered what the problem was. To put it bluntly, there is actually a problem with the concept. As the leader of the Dove Faction, Zhou Lu's central idea is that mortals cannot truly defeat cultivators. Therefore, we cannot go against cultivators. Otherwise, West Wind Continent will inevitably be attacked by cultivators. From then on, West Wind's Mortal society will no longer exist, and will even become a purgatory-like existence. If it weren't for the cultivators who had no desire for the auraless West Wind Continent, and if the cultivators came to attack, the Dove Faction would definitely be the first to surrender.
Since Zhou Lu is inherently afraid of powerful cultivators, it may also be because he is a cultivator himself.
True practitioner, so he knew how terrifying a truly powerful cultivator would be. Therefore, when the most powerful trio in history stood in front of him this time, his courage was shattered. Zhou Lu said so much, generally speaking, it is actually capitulationism. He clearly knew that the Divine Machine Armor was the best and most powerful weapon to deal with cultivators, but his choice was to hand it over obediently, which was equivalent to an act of abandoning his martial arts. Although he did have a spirit of sacrifice, the result of his sacrifice was that the entire West Wind society was damaged along with him. Therefore, this spirit of sacrifice is really not touching.
Obviously, there are people present who understand. For example, Marshal Feng knows his old friend very well. After listening to Zhou Lu's answer, Marshal Feng shook his head slightly and said, "Old friend, no, I'll call you Teacher Zhou. Teacher Zhou. Back then, you took a fancy to me and wanted to accept me as your disciple. Learn cultivation from you. At that time, I refused verbally. Now, I have gray hair, but Teacher Zhou, you are still the same as before. But I don’t regret it at all. I don’t want to become a cultivator. My purpose is to Become a pure mortal, and work hard for the rise of mortals as a mortal. Due to differences in concepts, I later walked across from you, Teacher Zhou, and there were countless quarrels between you and me, but we had One concept is the same, that is, West Wind society must be stable. Stability needs a foundation. If we don't have the divine machine armor this time, I believe that the current West Wind continent will definitely be a mess. You said you are willing to bear the burden
Infamy, but your sacrifice has resulted in the exchange of guns and no killing. From now on, we will not be able to resist the invasion of cultivators. Thinking about it, it is really ridiculous. Our summary meeting has not yet ended, and the guns in our hands have been handed over to the cultivators. From then on, should we just lie down? What future and hope can our mortal society have? ? "
Zhou Lu was angry. He had always hated the fact that these hawks were all stubborn and only wanted to fight against the cultivators. In fact, the relationship between him and Marshal Feng was still the same old thing, and his ears had long been calloused by the hawk's idea of the rise of mortals. But in fact, cultivators don't have much interest in the West Wind Continent. This is completely an imaginary enemy created by people like the Hawks. Can't mortals and cultivators coexist peacefully? You know, there are also many mortals on Lingdu Continent. Don’t these mortals get along well with cultivators?
week Ordinary people, can they have conditions like yours? You have to learn to think from other people's perspective. Most people just want to survive, not sacrifice them because you want to fight."
Before Marshal Feng could refute this, the adjutant on the side couldn't listen anymore. He shouted at Zhou Lu: "What a sacrifice. If you say so, then we don't need to hold this summary meeting. At that time, Xiuzhen Those who come to the west
When the Wind Continent is avoiding war, we should open the door and let them run rampant in our society and do whatever they want, so that the majority of ordinary people can survive, right? "
"Oh, you're not right, um, um, it's not the same thing." Zhou Lu was also speechless, knowing that there was something wrong with what he just said, but he quickly found the reason, "Last time, the cultivator came There are too many, so naturally we can't let them in easily. However, this time is different, this time they have good reasons. After all, the operator of the divine machine armor is a cultivator, so they naturally have reasons to take people back."
Marshal Feng opened his mouth and laughed. After finishing his smile, he said to Zhou Lu: "You are such a hopeless fool. Don't I know these things? This manipulator has a very close relationship with Hao Yun. , and it was only with Hao Yun's approval that we kept her. Hao Yun was the only one who traveled between the two continents several times for her. Why haven't we seen these people come to us for her before? It’s just a coincidence that she came right after this victory. She’s so heartbroken. Well, now I’m going to ask Hao Yun again, can I hand her over to Captain Wu?”
Hao Yun said quickly without thinking: "Absolutely not, these people have bad intentions."
Zhou Lu looked at Hao Yun in surprise. He never expected that this would be the result. I thought that Hao Yun and the others all knew Wu Wei. Even if Hao Yun's purpose this time was different from Wu Wei and the others, at least they were all cultivators and would not stop this. However, from Hao Yun's resolute attitude,
From a perspective, it can be seen that he is very opposed to Wu Wei's action.
