Since the terrain in the west is much higher than that in the east, the Holy Kingdom of Luotian has been nicknamed the "Kingdom of Cloud Saints" since ancient times. When talking about the great Kingdom of Luotian, we cannot but mention the Capital of Luotian, an imperial city "Heavenly Capital" built on the mountains. .
Tiandu is located in the middle of the Zifan Mountains. Its area is immeasurable. It has been prosperous throughout the ages. There are more than three million people living in an imperial city. The concentration of the population symbolizes the supremacy of imperial power. The imperial power of Luotian Kingdom is naturally far from Comparable to ordinary small countries.
Since Tiandu is built on the mountains, the terrain from the edge area to the deepest palace is getting higher and higher. From the outside, the palace of Luotian Kingdom towers into the sky, giving it the aura of an immortal mansion. Even the edge area of the imperial city is really far away. The entire ground is as high as a city, and the entire sky is spread out by countless steps from top to bottom for people to pass.
To put it simply, Tiandu is as dazzling as a flower bed held up out of thin air. In Tiandu, martial arts and literature are both very strong. There are martial arts saints and literary saints. Therefore, Tiandu has always been It is known as the Holy City by outsiders.
The entire Tiandu cuts off the central part of the Zifan Mountains. On both sides of the Tiandu are the criss-crossing Zifan Mountains, leading into the distance.
The power of the country is greater. In Tiandu, from bottom to top, there are places where officials of all levels live, from low to high, until the imperial power at the top. The concept of the supremacy of imperial power is especially prominent in the great country of Luotian. "If I die, I will not live" is the most appropriate way to describe it.
Since the last era of great unification in the Central Region, a thousand years have passed in the blink of an eye since Luo Tiandu was almost captured by the Sword Emperor Jian Feixian and his army.
Over the past thousand years, the Luotian Holy Kingdom has continued to grow. Although it is located in the northwest of the Central Region, it is now no less inferior to the other six principalities. Faced with the two defeats in the recent expedition to the Star Kingdom, the aloof Luotian Kingdom naturally reacted somewhat.
After receiving the news that the Lai Kingdom was forced to withdraw and the Mongolian army was ambushed, Emperor Luo also convened a military meeting, focusing on discussing the attack on the Star Kingdom. In the past, to conquer certain countries, only a few orders were issued, but now it was specifically for The Star Kingdom held a meeting, which was enough to show that the Luotian Kingdom valued the conquest of the Star Kingdom.
On the day of the meeting, the leader of the Luotian Kingdom solicited opinions from the ministers on attacking the Star Kingdom. However, in fact, a small Star Kingdom was nothing to them. What they focused on discussing was how to deal with Lan after the Star Kingdom was destroyed. Brothers Wu and Lan Xu, apart from Lan Xu, Lan Wu's ability is also highly valued by the officials of the Luo Kingdom.
Some ministers said that Lan Wu had outstanding abilities and deserved to be reused. Some ministers said that Lan Wu's second offender, Luo Tianshengwei, should be destroyed as a warning to others.
Based on those two views, a group of ministers expressed their opinions, and finally decided to destroy the Star Kingdom and recruit Lan Wu. After the general policy was set, the leader of the Luotian Kingdom personally selected the expedition personnel, and the final conquest of the Star Kingdom was successfully decided.
It is worth mentioning that before and after the meeting, no one said that it was possible for the Star Army to defeat them again. This shows that the people of the Luotian Kingdom have not considered this issue at all, or that there is only one outcome for them in the end.
In the blink of an eye, a few days have passed since Emperor Luo convened the ministers to discuss matters. Now the commander-in-chief appointed by Emperor Luo has already left the imperial capital with an imperial edict and went to the border of Star Kingdom to assemble an army. This time, he must decide the outcome with Star Kingdom.
An unprecedented storm is brewing, and the development of the situation is becoming increasingly unfavorable to the Star Kingdom. While the new commander-in-chief is busy gathering the army, Lan Xu has already led the main force of 100,000 Star troops to catch up with the grain and grass troops.
After the two sides met, it was no surprise that Yan Nantian immediately handed over the ten prisoners to Lan Xu for disposal. Of course, he also told Lan Xu the origins of the ten prisoners. In front of Lan Xu, Ruan Yi and others no longer needed to cover up. What, because a letter has been sent to Yidu asking Lan Xu to release him.
Although Yihuang did not explicitly mention the identities of those people, it was not difficult for Lan Xu to surmise that after confirming that there were royal family members among them, he understood somewhat about Yihuang's unreasonable demands. Of course, it was just a document from Yihuang. Not enough for him to let go.
Based on some of the conditions mentioned by Emperor Yi in his letter, Lan Xu had to carefully consider how to deal with those ten people. Before making the official decision, he did not execute the prisoners immediately according to the wishes of many generals. Now he just dealt with Ruan Yi more closely. Wait for someone to be imprisoned.
Before the arrival of the army, Lu Yunyou was still worried about the life and death of Ruan Ming and others, but after the arrival of the army, he discovered another problem. Since he was pestered by Lan Rou, Fang Qing and others all day long, he now had no time to care about Ruan Ming. Waiting for people's life and death.
After not seeing each other for many days, they chatted happily for a long time, until Lan Rou took the opportunity to express her love for Lu Yunyou, and the atmosphere suddenly changed. When everyone's attention was focused on Lu Yunyou, Lu Yunyou became embarrassed.
He didn't expect Lan Rou to say she liked him in front of so many people. To his surprise, he couldn't help but think about how much courage Lan Rou needed to do this. But even though he was about to forget Lin Ruoxi, he still didn't feel that way about Lan Rou, let alone He said that he has been thinking about Ruan Ming recently.
Speaking of which, before the arrival of the army, Lu Yunyou accompanied Yan Nantian to visit Ruan Ming and others twice. Although they only had simple eye contact with Ruan Ming each time, each visit would deepen Ruan Ming's impression in his mind.
Putting aside the hostile relationship between the two parties, an outstanding person like Lu Yunyou is enough to make countless women's hearts flutter. Not only that, Lu Yunyou himself is quite handsome, and he also has a unique temperament, which is enough in terms of personal image. Charm, not to mention his unique cultivation talent.
Just thinking about how Lu Yunyou killed three seventh-level martial artists in a row with the strength of a sixth-level martial artist, Ruan Ming couldn't help but look at Lu Yunyou more, because looking at the entire Yi Kingdom, there is no second one who can compare with Lu Yunyou. Compared with others, Lu Yunyou's specialness also gave her some special feelings.
Compared with Ruan Ming's special affection for Lu Yunyou, Lu Yunyou's love for Ruan Ming can be described as love at first sight. When he saw Ruan Ming's true appearance for the first time, he had already had ups and downs in his heart. After that, the situation changed with the two of them. The number of meetings increased and became more frequent. Even now, although he still doesn't understand why he is so attracted to Ruan Ming, his love for Ruan Ming has lingered.
Even if he wanted to suppress his feelings for Ruan Ming, he was still unable to accept Lan Rou. When Lan Rou said she liked him, Lu Yunyou's response was a long period of silence.
Lu Yunyou's silence was tantamount to rejection. In exchange, Lan Rou hid her face and left. Afterwards, under Fang Qing's reminder, the sugar-coated siblings hurried over to comfort Lan Rou, while Fang Qing and Ni Youbin stayed behind to persuade Lu Yunyou not to treat Lan Rou. So ruthless.
The two of them kept talking about the advantages of Lan Rou, and even stated how uncomfortable it would be for Lu Yunyou to reject Lan Rou like this. Finally, after fully agreeing with what the two of them said, Lu Yunyou felt uncomfortable, but unfortunately he still didn't After being persuaded by the two of them, he finally separated from them and went back to practice. Perhaps it would be most beneficial for him to focus on practice now.
After witnessing the swordsmanship in the Sword Body Realm that night, he understood what true superb swordsmanship looked like. The kind of swordsmanship that flexibly switches offense and defense, and each movement is extremely continuous and flawless, was not something he recognized earlier. He knew it well, and he also knew very well that even Zhang Jiutian's swordsmanship was far different from that of the man named Qi.
Perhaps as long as he practiced long enough, he could reach that level. With this thought in his mind, he became more diligent in practicing swordsmanship.
In addition, because of what he experienced that night, his problems with body skills have been solved. Lu Yunyou knows that the problem still lies in his body. His physique is still not strong enough. Next, he will find the right way to break through the shackles of his body. .
There are so many high-level martial arts practitioners in the army, and there may be people who are good at physical skills. Based on what he learned from the head of the Ling family, Lu Yunyou knows that practicing physical skills is the best way to improve physical strength. The only thing is how to teach him Physical skills are a problem.
He has been holding back on learning physical skills for a while. If he can't find an opportunity in the army, he can only try his luck outside. The difference from when he came here is that whether to leave the army is no longer something he needs to consider. Lu Yunyou always felt that he would stay in the army for a while longer.
Putting aside Lu Yunyou's situation, the day after the army arrived, Lan Xu led his troops directly to Fancheng. Before departure, Lan Xu had clearly informed the three armies of the importance of Fancheng to Star Kingdom's future capture of Yi Kingdom. In short, their Star Kingdom The army must rush to Fancheng before the coalition forces of Fei and Yang.
Calculating the time, the two sides arrived at Fancheng at about the same time. Fei and Yang did not occupy Fancheng as early as possible, which gave them the opportunity to arrive at Fancheng early. Lan Xu naturally did not want to miss it.
