"The monarch of the Moyun Kingdom has been getting worse and worse in the past six months."
"The five brothers in the royal family have begun to make secret arrangements for the position of king."
"The eldest son and the fifth son have a relatively strong background. The third prince Mo Heng's maternal clan is very weak, and his mother and concubine died early, so they are not favored by the royal family."
"This time he came to Beijing to express condolences to His Majesty. It was only because other brothers were unwilling to come that he had the opportunity to come out."
"Mo Heng hopes that your majesty can help him."
"I would like to have eternal friendship with the Zhou Dynasty."
Lu Ning told the empress about the agreement with Mo Heng.
In fact, Mo Heng valued Lu Ning's status in the heart of the empress, and with a little push, he could help him win the throne of the king.
The empress nodded secretly: "This Mo Heng is really thoughtful. He knows that he cannot win the position of king by his own strength. If other brothers win the position of king, he will definitely die."
"So I chose to rely on Dazhou's power."
"When my father was here before, Lord Moyun was not very firm in his alliance with the Zhou Dynasty. He was influenced by other kingdoms in the Western Regions."
"If the other princes of Moyun are allowed to sit on the throne of the king, they will inevitably break with the Great Zhou."
Lu Ning raised his eyebrows and said, "So your Majesty has agreed to help Mo Heng?"
The empress nodded and said: "I will definitely help, but this matter is not urgent. We will discuss it with the superiors in the future and choose a method of help that is beneficial to Da Zhou."
Lu Ning nodded secretly.
"The Huo Tuo Kingdom has been attacked by the Blackpool Kingdom, the largest in the Western Region, for many years, and there are also frictions with the Fire Kingdom."
"Before, the Xiliang army helped the Huotuo Kingdom, but in the past three years, there have been riots in Xiliang."
"The Xiliang army was used to suppress the riots and had no intention of taking care of the Huotuo Kingdom, which caused the Huotuo Kingdom to lose many cities."
"For this reason, Lord Huo Tuo is very disappointed with Zhou Dynasty."
"Recently, King Yongshan sent people to the Huo Tuo Kingdom and was willing to send 100,000 troops to help the Huo Tuo Kingdom retake the city."
"The King of Huo Tuo was very happy, but his Majesty passed away and King Yongshan was not an emperor, so he asked Prince Huo Tuo to come to Dazhou to find out the situation."
Speaking of this, Lu Ning paused and said: "The situation in the Huo Tuo Kingdom is similar to that of the Star Wolf Kingdom. They are all caused by foreign invasion."
"As for the Kingdom of Fire, Naqing Huoyang didn't reveal any information. He didn't know the real purpose of coming, but he behaved extremely friendly."
"I think there is something wrong with this Western Kingdom, which is very difficult to attack."
The empress nodded secretly: "Of the thirteen kingdoms in the Western Region, the largest kingdoms are the Kingdom of Ten Thousand Beasts, the Kingdom of Black Abyss, and the Kingdom of Sky Snow."
"The remaining ten kingdoms are all small kingdoms. In fact, the territory is not small, but the population is small."
"The vast territory and sparse population is a big problem. The vast territory cannot be defended."
"The most dangerous ones are the Kingdom of Beasts and the Kingdom of Black Abyss. In recent years, the two kingdoms have been expanding to all directions, mainly to the east."
"Their goal is not only to swallow Sha Luo, Mo Yun, and Huo Tuo, but more importantly, they want to attack Da Zhou and divide the world equally with Da Zhou."
Lu Ning nodded secretly. It was normal for a big kingdom to have such ambitions.
But whether we can achieve equal division of the world still depends on our national strength and capabilities.
Finally, the empress stared at Lu Ning with stern eyes: "Are you still determined to return to the Heavenly Prison?"
Lu Ning nodded and said solemnly: "Returning to Tianlao will not affect the protection of His Majesty."
"My subordinates just think that the Heavenly Prison is where the world's most serious criminals gather. Although they are prisoners, they also hold many secrets in the world. I believe Your Majesty also understands this."
The empress didn't say anything, but she knew in her heart that what Lu Ning said was indeed good. But if she wanted to know any news or secrets, she could almost find them in the files of the Suppressing Demon Division.
He said for a long time: "Okay, after sending Concubine Qi back to Qiushan, I will allow you to return to Zhenmo Division and go to Tianlao to continue your duty, but you have to help me investigate two things secretly."
Lu Ning nodded and said, "Your Majesty, please tell me."
The empress said solemnly: "The first thing I want to know is the cause of Prince Yong'an's death and the murderer."
"The second thing is, I want to know who Mr. Jin Lin is."
Lu Ning nodded, these two things were not easy to handle.
The cause of Prince Yong'an's death has not been found out after thirty years of investigation.
It's just possible that the cause of death was the same as Emperor Mingwu's death, which was caused by three poisons.
As for the murderer, it is even harder to find.
Young Master Jinlin was a little better. He came to Jingzhou once, and the third-level warrior beside him was named Lu Yue.
Lu Ning had also seen the immortal in green.
If you check carefully, it is not difficult to find out the identity of Mr. Jin Lin.
"Your Majesty, is there any file on Prince Yong'an in the Demon Suppression Department?" Lu Ning asked thoughtfully.
"Yes, you can see it at any time." The empress said.
Lu Ning nodded and said, "When does Your Majesty plan to deal with Wu'an Marquis Kou Shize?"
Currently, the most dangerous person to his family is Kou Shize.
He would not feel at ease until Kou Shize died.
Now Kou Shize has resigned as the right minister of the Ministry of War. He wants to stay out of the sight of civil and military ministers and secretly make big moves.
When the time comes, they will definitely take action against him and his family.
I am not afraid of taking action against him, but I am afraid that my elder brother, sister-in-law, younger sister, and younger niece will be harmed.
After reviving his life and finally having a family, Lu Ning still cherished it.
The empress frowned and said, "The Demon Suppression Division is collecting evidence of Kou Shize's crimes. The evidence collected so far is not enough to bring him down."
"But it's quick. We can collect all the evidence in half a year at most, and then we'll take action on him."
"Half a year?"
Lu Ning frowned. This time seemed short, but it was still a long time for him.
He pondered and said: "Your Majesty, if Kou Shize falls into the hands of his subordinates, they will kill him regardless of whether the evidence is sufficient or not."
The empress' phoenix eyes flashed slightly as she stared at Lu Ning without saying a word.
Lu Ning didn't say anything anymore, and took it as the empress's acquiescence. She bowed slightly and said, "Your Majesty, rest. I will take my leave."
Seeing Lu Ning turn around to leave, the Empress' cheeks turned slightly red and she said, "Since you have a token of love, but I don't have one yet, shouldn't you give me one as a gift?"
Hearing this, Lu Ning's eyes lit up as he was about to turn around. He met the empress's affectionate eyes and said with a slight smile, "I'm going to prepare now. I'll deliver it to His Majesty when it's ready."
The empress raised her lips slightly and waved to Lu Ning.
In a blink of an eye, it’s the sixth day of the twelfth lunar month.
early morning.
It's freezing cold.
Snowflakes fell from the dark sky, making the world become colder.
There are very few pedestrians walking on the street. They are wrapped in thick cotton clothes, rubbing their hands with white breath, and walking very fast.
Lu Ning took a quick look and headed towards Nancheng Old Taoist Temple.
This morning, I accumulated 4.32 million experience points.
Cultivation: Fourth level Vientiane (perfect, 25.93 million/30 million)
To advance to the third level of cultivation, you still need 4.07 million experience points, and the accumulated experience is just enough.
There was a lot of promotion news before, so this time Lu Ning chose to break through the cultivation level in the old Taoist temple, and then went to the palace to send Concubine Qi back to Qiu Shan.
The old Taoist temple in the south of the city.
To the southeast, in a mountain depression, there is no human habitation within a radius of ten kilometers.
After taking a look, Lu Ning looked for a secluded place to hide.
It is a small stone cave, covered by evergreen trees and vines.
Sitting cross-legged in the cave.
Lu Ning closed his eyes and thought silently in his mind.
Buzz!
In an instant, the air within a radius of five kilometers vibrated at high frequency.
The spiritual energy of heaven and earth instantly atomized, becoming thicker and thicker, and the atomization took on a moist and sticky shape.
Fortunately, it was so early in the morning that no one noticed this scene.
Randomly atomized heaven and earth spiritual energy rolled towards Lu Ning.
at the same time.
The blood in Lu Ning's veins was also running at a high frequency, and the quality of the blood was rapidly improving. It was compressed crazily and became viscous, and the bone marrow was still producing blood crazily.
However, there is a little bit of golden light in the newly born blood.
As there are more and more new blood, the golden light becomes brighter and brighter.
In an instant, Lu Ning's whole body was covered with a layer of red-gold blood energy. As the blood energy increased, it formed a pillar of air that reached a height of ten meters.
When the thick atomized spiritual energy of heaven and earth crazily penetrated into Lu Ning's meridians, he activated the "Diamond Dragon Demonic Fist", and the faint sound of dragon roars came from his body.
Snapped!
In the dantian of the sea of qi, the atomized viscous energy quickly condensed into a drop of water-like energy, which dropped into the sea of qi.
"Bah bang bang...!"
Gradually, more and more water-like energy dripped down, gathering together.
The water-like energy is the true essence, and the mercury-like glance is the sublimated energy of the true temperament.
If we compare the two forces, they are like tofu compared with stones.
Lu Ning clearly felt that his strength had doubled. Without activating his true energy, his physical strength reached the power of a hundred thousand phenomena.
The thickness of the flesh film under the adamantium cortex also reaches half a centimeter, and it turns into golden black, protecting the flesh and blood tissue.
About a quarter of an hour.
Lu Ning's promotion ended, and the viscous atomized energy within a radius of five kilometers disappeared and turned into the true energy in his Qihai Dantian.
True energy can fill a normal washbasin in the previous life.
Even so, with a little stimulation, the power is ten times more powerful than the previous infuriating energy.
At the same time, the blood in his veins emitted a faint golden light.
Lu Ning was so surprised that this was the Blood Transformation Realm.
It should be said that it is not yet a true blood transformation state, it is just the beginning of blood transformation and has not yet been integrated with the true essence.
In addition, his ability to sense consciousness has also become extremely strong. When he closes his eyes, it feels like he has his own pair of eyes in the sky.
spread rapidly.
Lu Ning was extremely surprised. With a third-level cultivation level, his spiritual consciousness could extend for hundreds of kilometers, almost reaching Hongjia Town in the south of Beijing.
As your cultivation level increases, your spiritual consciousness will definitely increase.
He immediately put away the power of his spiritual consciousness, stood up and moved his lower body bones slightly in the cave, and his whole body bones made a sound like thunder.
Get out of the cave.
Lu Ning grabbed it from the air, and a ten-ton stone dozens of meters away rose into the air with a loud bang, and then flew towards him.
boom!
A palm fell on the stone, and the stone shattered.
With a wave of his hand, the Equinox sword on his waist came out of its sheath with a clang, and a big tree a hundred meters away was cut off in an instant.
Reaching the upper third level, the ability to control objects through the air is significantly enhanced.
Lu Ning nodded with satisfaction and put away the Equinox Sword.
Take a look at the catalogue.
Cultivation: Third-grade blood transformation (extreme breaking, 0/25 million)
Seeing this, a wry smile flashed across Lu Ning's lips.
The higher the cultivation level, the more experience is required.
Judging from the current situation, if you want to break through the third level and reach the second level, you must have at least over 100 million experience points.
If based on current experience, it would take more than 230 days to accumulate 100 million.
It's just to improve your cultivation, and you can't upgrade various magical powers.
"So inexperienced!"
Lu Ning was also helpless, so he became more and more determined to go to the third and fourth floors of the prison.
Let’s look at the remaining experience: 250,000 points.
Lu Ning didn't upgrade his skills either, so he put his thoughts away and left in a flash.
…
Yongle Palace.
When Lu Ning came, many people from the Demon Suppression Division appeared in front of the palace, most of them from thousands of families.
"Congratulations to Lu Wanhu!"
When Hu Qingcheng saw Lu Ning, he took the lead in congratulating him.
Other Qianhu came forward and followed him to express their joy.
"Thanks!"
Lu Ning cupped his fists and returned the greetings one by one, and said with a smile: "If you have time at Xianlefang, I invite you to have a drink and talk about life."
Hearing this, Hu Qingcheng and others also laughed.
Lu Ning came to the main hall.
In the main hall, Concubine Qi was bidding farewell to the empress.
Si Zheng, Gu Fengtang, and a deputy director were also there, followed by Gu Wushuang.
Seeing Lu Ning walking into the main hall and standing next to him, Gu Wushuang lowered his eyebrows and said in a low voice: "You loser, why are you here so late?"
Lu Ning responded in a low voice: "If you want to travel far, you must make good arrangements at home!"
Gu Wushuang said no more.
Lu Ning took a casual glance and saw that Concubine Qi had brought two personal maids, and Qi Yuansheng was accompanying her.
As soon as his eyes fell on Qi Yuansheng, he found that the latter was staring at him with provocative eyes.
Lu Ning frowned. Does this guy want to compete with me in literary talent again?
After all, I have to go back to Qiu Shan, and it's a long way to go, so I can't show off in front of the empress.
Seeing Qi Yuansheng holding his head high and his chest high, with confidence on his face.
Lu Ning glanced at him and looked away.
After a while, Concubine Shu also brought Princess Yongxi to Yongle Palace to see off Concubine Qi.
The empress and others were talking over a cup of tea when they saw Concubine Qi about to get up.
Qi Yuansheng walked quickly to the center of the hall, bowed to the empress and said, "Your Majesty, Tianmu has something to ask for."
Everyone's eyes fell on Qi Yuansheng, wondering what he wanted to do.
Even Concubine Qi frowned and looked at her brother.
The woman's phoenix eyes flashed slightly and she said, "Speak."
Qi Yuansheng glanced back at Lu Ning and said, "Your Majesty, Tianmu once lost to Lu Wanhu in his poem writing in Confucius Academy. Before leaving, Tianmu wanted to compete with Lu Wanhu again."
"Your Majesty, please give me a review."
really!
Lu Ning frowned. Qi Yuansheng was still unwilling to give in and insisted on defeating him to win the favor of the empress.
The empress raised her beautiful eyebrows, looked at Lu Ning and said, "Qi's great talent wants to compete with you, what do you think?"
Concubine Qi, Gu Fengtang and others also looked at Lu Ning, and Qi Yuansheng also stared at Lu Ning provocatively.
Lu Ning took a deep breath. No matter how he declined, he was still afraid of Qi Yuansheng in the eyes of others.
But if there is a competition, if Qi Yuansheng is defeated again, I don’t know if Qi Yuansheng will collapse?
After pondering for a moment, Lu Ning stared at Qi Yuansheng and said: "Okay, I have nothing to prepare, I can only improvise on the spot."
"What are you planning to compete with?"
"Endowment."
Qi Yuansheng said with confidence.
Hearing this, Lu Ning's eyes flashed slightly. The gift is too long, can't it be changed to something simpler?
"Don't you dare?"
Seeing Lu Ning staring at him without saying a word, Qi Yuansheng became even more proud.
"Come up with a question." Lu Ning frowned.
Qi Yuansheng asked: "It's free, you can do whatever you want."
As he spoke, he took out the Fu he had made in his arms.
Give it to Bai Xuejin for appreciation by the empress.
Lu Ning frowned, this guy was indeed prepared.
"Yunlu Fu!"
I heard the empress speak slowly and read: "In the early autumn of the 30th year of the rise of martial arts, at the Battle of Yunlu, divine soldiers descended from the sky and defeated millions of enemy troops from Beimang, the Western Regions, and the demon clan at Yunlu Mountain, and won a great victory. "
The empress paused, raised her eyebrows to look at Qi Yuansheng, and continued to read:
"The wild deer are in the clouds, the mountain mist is as high as the solitary clouds, and the autumn wind helps the war drums soar into the sky."
"It roars thousands of miles away, and blood stains the rivers and mountains thousands of miles away."
"Sorrow has come to the world...!"
…
…
