"Lu Yi promised a lot of money. Since I have promised, I will not hurt your lives."
Fang Teng smiled bitterly and said: "I believe that the general will keep his promise, but the general must have some agenda when he sneaks into the royal city. If it is found out that I brought the general into the city, the king will definitely kill all my Fang family members."
"What do you want?" Now that he has entered Chengdu, Lu Wu is not in a hurry. Anyway, his work is very rough, and he just wants to confront him head-on, so there is no need to chat more.
"I beg the general to take a certain family with him when he escapes. If the situation is urgent, please also ask the general to arrange a hiding place for Fang's family." Fang Teng begged.
Most of the 500 county soldiers under his command were fellow villagers. In order to save the lives of these 500 county soldiers, he surrendered Lu Wu - of course also to save his own life - and now these 500 people are still alive. He was held as a hostage in a remote village more than a hundred miles outside Yinping City.
Following him to Chengdu were five hundred elite soldiers under Lu Wu's command.
Anyway, Lu Wu's subordinates are all from the Chu army, and they play their true colors, so it is not difficult to get through various city gates.
But this kind of thing can be hidden for a while, not forever. Not to mention Lu Wu's men, it is also the 500 county soldiers led by Fang Teng. Who can guarantee that they will not leak out?
If he was ambitious, Fang Teng should ask Lu Wu to kill those five hundred people - but not everyone could do this.
What kind of identity is Lu Wu? Since he dares to enter the city to do anything, there must be someone in the city to support him. Otherwise, he is just a kidnapped grain transport officer to cover him?
This person must have some influence in Chengdu. It would be unrealistic to take his whole family to escape, but it would be possible to arrange a secret place for his family to hide for a while and wait for the limelight to pass before he can slowly think of a solution.
"Haha - I'm not going to hide it from you, I sneaked into Chengdu this time just to break into the royal city and cause earth-shaking. If I don't succeed, I will die in Chengdu and everything will be over. If I succeed, Wang Ting will It’s too late to mourn, so how can anyone care about you, a mere school captain?”
Fang Teng slowly opened his mouth.
"You have become a captain. Do you know when the court meeting will be?" Lu Wu asked.
Fang Teng's mouth opened wider.
As the highest meeting of the Chu State, court meetings did not happen every day.
On weekdays, there would only be three court meetings per month, but now that the Chu State was devastated by the chaos in the south, the frequency of court meetings was higher.
Today, King Xiang of Chu once again convened ministers to discuss raising grain taxes to deal with the current chaos in the agricultural society. Raising grain taxes is not a trivial matter. It involves the interests of everyone from scholar-bureaucrats to ordinary tenant farmers. They have to go to court. Negotiation is not possible.
Moreover, these days, most of the land in the world is the private land of nobles, but there is no saying that nobility's land will not be subject to grain tax, so as long as the nobles who have a say have to attend this court meeting.
Whether the grain tax is heavier in some houses or lighter in some houses is all decided by these nobles.
But not long before today's court meeting started, a commotion was heard outside the palace.
King Chu's assistant frowned, and a middle-aged father-in-law beside him walked towards the door of the hall. As soon as he opened the door, he shouted loudly: "The king's court is discussing matters, how dare you make a noise——!"
Before he finished speaking, the father-in-law's voice suddenly broke off. He didn't know whether he was frightened or something.
That the father-in-law can stand behind the King of Chu, his identity is needless to say, and it is impossible to make a fuss about nothing. To make him lose his composure, it can be seen that a big change has really taken place outside the palace.
The ministers in the palace look at me, and I look at you; the civil servants look at the military commanders, and the military generals look at the civil servants; especially the generals guarding the royal town, such as the five gate captains, are even more neglected.
Everyone looked suspicious, but no one stood up - the ministers were discussing matters, and everyone's seat was arranged. Now I don't know what happened, and suddenly stood up. That is not to bring suspicion on oneself. On your body?
To put it bluntly, if someone rebels outside and breaks into the palace, they will definitely not be able to bypass the officials in the palace - if they jump out at this time, they are not looking for trouble.
"Your Majesty, leave quickly!" The father-in-law suddenly turned around, flew several feet away, and shouted in panic.
"Don't be rude - why are you panicking!" King Chu's assistant was furious. He just stretched out his hand and slapped the long eucalyptus, and the father-in-law, who was flying like a crane, seemed to have been hit by an arrow (this chapter is not over yet!)
Chapter 190: The royal court is discussing matters, and there is chaos outside the palace
, falling from mid-air.
This is his own royal court, and he is the master here.
There are elite soldiers guarding outside, and there are worshipers and guards around him. He is the king of Chu of this generation, the master of Jiuding, and the master of Chu's destiny.
Even Xuanmen Taoist priests and martial arts masters, when they came to the royal court, would be suppressed by Chu's luck and find it difficult to use magic.
The construction of human cities has its own rules, and it is not built casually.
The king counts seven, and the city has seven gates; Hou counts five, and the city has five gates; Bo counts three, and the city has three or four gates.
——This kind of regulation sounds like it is for show, so as to distinguish the differences between kings, marquises, and uncles, but in fact, the establishment of the royal city is a rule passed down from the time of Emperor Xuanyuan, and it is to suppress the luck. The effect amplifies a stable formation.
In the ancient Xuanyuan era, the king was for guarding, Hou was for enlightenment, and Bo was for pioneering and conquering.
At the level of Bo Kingdom, it doesn't matter how many gates there are in the capital - because Bo was a pioneering general of the human race in the ancient Xuanyuan era, and their luck suppressors can protect themselves from being harmed by evil means. , As for fighting, that's Bo's specialty, and no one is vain.
Jiuding is the human race's most powerful luck-suppressing device besides the Haotian Mirror.
The Jiuding is where the human race's luck is concentrated, and all martial arts spells that require the release of spirit are difficult to perform - the martial arts master's spirit has been refined by Gang Qi, and he can barely resist the suppression of luck, but it is still a hundred times more difficult than usual.
As for Taoist Taoist priests, they would never come to the royal court to make themselves uncomfortable - unless they were officially granted the title of National Master and had the authority to control luck.
Is there anyone in the world who can make him retreat in the royal court?
He is the King of Chu!
Even if Emperor Zhou comes in person, he still has to be given some face - not to mention that the authority of Emperor Zhou has long since fallen by the wayside, and he is just a priest enshrining the Haotian Mirror.
"Your Majesty, let's go!" Although the father-in-law fell down, he was not injured. He just raised his head and shouted.
"Where are the offerings in the palace?" Chu King Xiang Lu's face turned pale, but he did not punish the man immediately, but shouted.
From behind the screen behind him, four palace ministers came out and stood on the left and right beside King Chu's assistant.
Each of these four worshippers has reached the innate Tao, and they are not ordinary innate masters. At the very least, they are at the second-level innate level, the realm of the unity of heaven and man, and one of them has cultivated to the first-level innate level where the inner scene is transformed into the external world.
In fact, how can it be so easy for the warriors in the palace to cultivate to the innate level?
The method these people practice is specially modified by the Wangwu Sect of Xuanmen for the Chu Kingdom. They can use the Chu Kingdom's luck to polish their true energy. In the royal court, they can even exert twelve percent of their power.
Members of the Wangwu Sect are unwilling to practice this kind of kung fu.
As long as you practice this kind of Kung Fu, you will be completely controlled by luck, life and death are in the hands of the King of Chu, and the path to further breakthrough as a martial arts master/Xuanmen Taoist will be blocked.
