"I……"
The guards were really speechless. They were not the ones who struck first, they were the ones who were beaten, and they were the ones who apologized. They had no place to find anyone to reason with.
After all, the old man in front of him is one of the highest-status people in Han Tiecheng.
"Brother Lu, I'm sorry for the offense just now!" The guards hurriedly bent down and saluted.
Lu Chen raised his hand to stop everyone from saluting. As the saying goes, don't hit the smiling person with your hand. Besides, the people who suffered the loss were those who apologized to him.
"You guys are taking advantage of me?" Zhou He glared again.
At this moment, even Lu Chen was speechless. The old man was obviously looking for nothing.
"Old man Zhou, have you had enough fun?"
A figure walked out of the newly opened city gate and glared at Zhou He. Seeing Lu Chen, he hurriedly clasped his fists and said, "Little friend Lu, I am Chen Feng, the royal guard stationed here!"
"Senior, junior Lu Chen!" Lu Chen also cupped his fists and saluted.
"Okay, let's go. You've had enough fun and fighting!" Chen Feng said to Zhou He, "Little friend Lu, the house has prepared wine and food for you to catch the wind!"
…
In the Han Tiecheng City Lord's Mansion, three figures were sitting at the round table.
"Little friend Lu, please!" Zhou He and Chen Feng raised their glasses to Lu Chen.
"I don't dare to take it seriously, I'm a junior!" Lu Chen stood up in a hurry.
"Little friend Lu, sit down, there are no outsiders here, just treat it as one of our own family. To be honest, this gathering may be a farewell!" Chen Feng suddenly spoke, and there was a sudden silence in the lobby. Zhou He also had a complex expression and couldn't help but shake his head.
"Senior, what do you mean by this?" Lu Chen asked.
"The news of the fall of the Jianzong will spread throughout the entire Daluo Dynasty in a short time. How could the surrounding countries give up such an opportunity!" Chen Feng said with a worried look on his face.
"To be honest, little friend Lu, news came back from the hidden pile that the Dulan Kingdom has begun to secretly mobilize its troops. Once there is a war, the other principalities will naturally not give up the big fat of the Da Luo Dynasty. As long as they are allocated enough land, population, and strength, If you reach another level, you can obtain the new decree issued by the Tianluo Empire and enter the ranks of the dynasty!" Zhou He also looked solemn.
Principality, dynasty, empire, these are the names of this country. Every step you take is a qualitative leap.
Of course, this is not absolute. They are both empires, and the gap between them is also huge. Just compare the Tianluo Empire and the Daxia Empire, which is the gap between Yinghuo and Sun and Moon.
Similarly, the principalities and dynasties within the territory of the Daxia Empire are naturally much more powerful than those within the territory of the Tianluo Empire.
No one would doubt that many principalities in the Great Xia Empire could easily destroy the Tianluo Empire. This was the absolute strength gap.
"So, this boy's revenge has brought disaster to the entire dynasty!" Lu Chen said with a frown.
"This is not the case. The principalities and dynasties surrounding the Da Luo Dynasty have been thinking about this territory for too long. The Dulan Kingdom has been preparing for it several years ago. Regardless of whether you kill Jian Zong or not, this battle is probably unavoidable. According to me Guess, within five years, a war that will subvert the entire dynasty will come!" Zhou He said.
Hearing this, Lu Chen put down his wine glass and sighed. In war, the most seriously injured people are undoubtedly ordinary people.
"To be honest with the two seniors, I have suggested that the prince move the whole country. However, it is too difficult and I am afraid that the prince may not do so!"
"What?" Chen Feng and Zhou He exclaimed, both of them stood up, "Little friend Lu, the whole country is moving, do you know what this means?"
The two of them couldn't believe that someone could make such a suggestion, which was to completely abandon the entire dynasty.
Hearing this, Lu Chen also shook his head, "The two seniors don't know something. The most powerful enemy faced by the Da Luo Dynasty is not the surrounding principalities and dynasties, but the Hundred Thousand Mountains!"
Thinking of the Hundred Thousand Mountains, Lu Chen could only feel a sense of powerlessness. In a hundred years, the entire Southern Wilderness would be completely destroyed and become a paradise for monsters.
"Little friend Lu, what is going on? The Daluo Dynasty is indeed close to the Shiwanda Mountain, but there has been no abnormality for so many years. With Huanyue Valley guarding it, everything has been peaceful!" Zhou He asked hurriedly.
Lu Chen shook his head, "Seniors, please forgive me. There are some things that I really can't say clearly. What I can tell has been told. As for Huanyue Valley, it's okay not to mention it. This kid is away from home this time and will come back as soon as possible to help the prince. This territory!”
"Lu..." Zhou He still had something to say, but Chen Feng held him down, "Thank you so much, little friend Lu!"
Looking at the departing figure, Zhou He had a solemn expression on his face, "Old man Chen, why did you stop me from asking? Do you want to die for some reason?"
"You old boy, if you could say it, would you, Mr. Lu, not say it? It's such a troubled time!"
Chen Feng sighed and called Zhou He. The two of them turned back to the table again, looking at the empty wine bottles, both of them were in a trance.
"Old man Chen, why don't you leave Hantieguan? Wouldn't it be great for us two old bones to travel around?" Zhou He suddenly said.
Chen Feng sighed, "Oh, I'm old. I have lived in Hantieguan for most of my life. I have feelings!"
Zhou He also nodded when he heard this, "Oh, I can't bear to leave!"
The next day!
After walking out of Han Tieguan, Lu Chen looked at the two old men staring at him on the city wall. He bowed respectfully. The two old men were similar to the five tribes in Shiwan Mountain. They were guarding this border and would probably stay there for the rest of their lives. here.
Not to mention the two powerful men at the eighth level of the Spirit King Realm, Lu Chen would still salute respectfully even if they were ordinary soldiers.
Looking at the departing figure, Zhou He glanced at the old man beside him and said, "You must have thought clearly!"
Hearing this, the old man just nodded without saying a word and turned towards the city.
Seeing this, Zhou He glanced at the figure that was gradually retreating outside the city, "I hope you can come back!" After his words fell, the figure also disappeared on the city wall.
Halfway up the mountain, Lu Chen looked back at the city that was about to disappear from sight, "When the Da Luo Dynasty comes back again, the Lu family will definitely soar into the sky!"
Outside the wilderness, Lu Chen looked at the map in his hand, identified the direction, and quickly headed northeast.
Tiannan College is located within the Tianluo Empire, which is not too far away. The Daluo Dynasty is also within the Tianluo Empire. However, the Tianluo Empire has a vast territory. Even if Lu Chen rushes with all his strength, it will not be possible in a day or two. Came here.
Looking at the city in front of him, Lu Chen naturally walked in without any hesitation. In his opinion, if you were on your way back, you couldn't make yourself a stranger or a ghost. Don't be treated like a beggar when you get to Tiannan College. out.
Lu Chen still felt guilty when he mentioned being kicked out. He took two years off before enrolling, and even delayed it for another year. In some colleges with less strength, three years may be enough for some geniuses to graduate.
Looking at the tavern not far away, Lu Chen quickly ran in and said, "Waiter, good wine and good food will be served!"
Before he could sit down, Lu Chen had already shouted, his voice echoing throughout the restaurant, attracting many people to look at him sideways, and many more to look at him with disdain.
"Don't look at it, you're just a stinky beggar!" To the side, a young man at a table slapped his deskmate on the shoulder.
"People like me can't be admitted even if they go there, so why bother to embarrass themselves?" said my companion with a frustrated look.
"You don't know something. Tiannan College is the weakest college under Tiannan College. In recent years, in order to absorb new blood, it has made many exceptions. Many remote towns have even sent tutors to recruit students. Even if you can't It’s not bad to enter Tiannan College or Tianluo College!”
"It's not that simple. After entering Tianluo Academy, you will stop in the Tianluo Empire in the future. But Tiannan Academy is different. If you perform well enough, you will have the opportunity to enter Tianluo Academy. Tianluo Academy, how many geniuses dream of that? place!"
Snapped!
The young man next to him slapped him awake.
"By the way, the enrollment starts tomorrow. I have to go home and prepare tonight!" After saying that, the young man got up and left.
"I'm so anxious!" The young man who stayed behind muttered, sitting alone in the restaurant drinking wine. After a while, a figure sat down.
"You..." The young man raised his head and just wanted to drive away the beggar-like figure in front of him, but the sudden pressure made him shut up in a hurry and looked at the young man in front of him with fear.
"Tiannan College is enrolling students tomorrow?" Lu Chen asked, sighing in his heart, this is really three years, but it's not necessarily true at first thought, the enrollment time may not be the same everywhere.
"Well, it's just outside the City Lord's Mansion!" the young man said truthfully.
"Thank you!" Lu Chen stood up and directly helped him pay for the food and drinks.
"This..." The young man wanted to speak, but hurriedly covered his mouth. The pressure just now was short-lived, but it sent shivers down his spine. It was too powerful.
"Are all beggars so powerful now? Are they still so arrogant?" Such thoughts flashed through his mind, but he did not dare to speak.
Yongyu City,
A restaurant not far outside the City Lord's Mansion was completely occupied by the City Lord's Mansion. Only the tutors and guards of Tiannan College lived there. This place became the admissions office of Tiannan College.
Every city will pay special attention to the enrollment of Tiannan College. After all, as long as they can graduate from Tiannan College, it means that this city will have another strong person, who will at least start at the Spirit King realm.
Of course, the bigger reason for attaching so much importance to Tiannan College's enrollment is the strong people students make friends with at Tiannan College. If one person accidentally enters Tiannan College, the city will boil.
"Teacher, this recruitment is not particularly ideal. We have not recruited very talented students!" A student shook his head and looked at the instructor in front of him with a bitter look on his face.
"Where's Zi Ning?" The instructor's face was a little ugly, and he looked at the young disciples gathered outside the window to prepare for the assessment.
"I went out to inquire about the Lu family!" The young man shook his head and said.
"Yeah, I get it!" The instructor in a long skirt nodded and sighed softly when he heard this.
"Teacher, Senior Sister Lu has no choice but to continue like this. How about we go to the Great Luo Dynasty?" The young man thought about it again and again and said.
Some people died, but not completely...
