Facts have proved that the other party's skills in cultivating qi are indeed very high.
Lu Bei spent 1,000 taels of silver to hire fifty storytellers, and personally selected the scripts. He asked them to sit by the lake or go boating and tell the stories from dawn to dusk.
At night, I work late into the night.
After talking for three days and three nights, the other party didn't even say a word.
To be honest, the script is quite good. The intellectuals of Wu Zhou Dynasty were indeed well-read. The text is very spicy just by reading it. When it comes from the storyteller's mouth, it is meaningful and memorable, and it immediately makes this little-known lake a check-in destination.
Locals said that storytelling is boring and no serious person would listen to it. They just like to join in the fun.
It can be seen from this that Lu Bei's one thousand taels of silver were not spent in vain. It promoted the development of local tourism and catering industries, boosted economic circulation, popularized culture, and cultivated the public's ability to appreciate literature and art. It can be said that his merits are immeasurable.
It was not until an anonymous person reported the incident that the police came to drive the people away.
Here comes the clue.
In order to prevent the other party from getting angry and killing ordinary people, Lu Bei stayed there for three days without moving. After the officials drove them away, he immediately rushed to the local Xuanyinsi Yamen.
The last time I came to Yuezhou with Hu San to complete a mission, I met the local Purple Guard Mu Jiling, a woman whose appearance was average compared to Hu San.
His background in the school of martial arts was also very ordinary. He was just a direct disciple of the imperial teacher.
The result was very bad and the trip was in vain. Mu Jiling was not in Yuezhou, but had returned to the capital to report on his work.
When the other two Purple Guards of Yuezhou saw that the disciple of the Grand Tutor had run away with the bucket, they decisively followed him. One of them claimed to be sick at home, and the other was out on a mission. When asked, they found that neither of them was in Yuezhou.
As a result, Lu Bei became the highest-ranking official of Xuanyinsi in Yuezhou.
Outrageous.
"MD, a bunch of insects!"
"When it's time to make money, they run faster than anyone else, but when it's time to die, they all complain about the low salary and shrink back. When did Wu Zhou become like this..."
"That's right, Wu Zhou has always been like this."
Lu Bei was stunned and speechless. He called Jin Wei who was on duty and asked him to find out who reported the storyteller.
Half an hour later, Jin Wei replied that it was the rise of the local catering industry and individual retail traders that threatened surrounding store peers, leading to the competition reports.
Lu Bei: …
Too true for him to argue with.
The strange woman by the lake had already left and the clues were cut off. He had no choice but to return to Lingxiao Sword Sect and told the intelligence truthfully.
Lin Buyan didn't care when he heard this, the situation was already decided, Lu Bei's information was dispensable and no longer important.
During these three days, Lu Bei was busy listening to storytelling by the lake, and Lin Buyan was not idle either. He personally wrote a piece of important information, contacted Hu Er and sent it over.
The letter stated with great confidence that after careful screening by Lu Beilu Ziwei, they had obtained solid evidence and found out the real culprit who had attacked and killed the two great elders of the Huangji Sect.
An elder of the Tianjian Sect who wishes to remain anonymous, and a member of the Xiongchu royal family.
When the Tianjian Sect failed to force the Lingxiao Sword Sect to rebel, it secretly contacted the neighboring Xiong Chu, using Yuezhou and other places as bargaining chips, inviting Xiong Chu to join the game and form an alliance to overthrow the Wu Zhou Dynasty.
Edited.
Lu Bei didn't find out anything, and Lin Buyan didn't have the ability to predict the future, but he knew very well that Yuezhou had an important geographical location and was the first checkpoint to block the invasion of Xiong Chu, and it must not be lost.
Threats from other forces are useless, and the higher-ups won’t take it seriously. But once Xiong Chu’s name is mentioned, they will be put to good use.
Wu Zhou has been guarding against Xiong Chu for a long time. From the day of its founding, it felt that Xiong Chu had bad intentions.
Doesn't the Tianjian Sect want the Lingxiao Sword Sect to fight against the Huangji Sect? Sure, he, Lin, will muddy the waters a little more. When the forces in Yuezhou become complicated and there is panic everywhere, the Huangji Sect will have to weigh the consequences if it wants to take action.
Soon, Fox Two gave a reply, just two words - I got it.
The reply is not long, but it is effective.
Those who understand will understand. The longer the reply, the more nonsense it contains and the more perfunctory it is.
On the contrary, the fewer words, the more importance it shows.
Because I take it too seriously, I don’t have time to talk nonsense.
Lin Buyan was an old and shrewd man. He felt that this was a safe bet. It would be great to have someone higher up. He, Lin, would finally not have to lead Lingxiao Sword Sect through the difficult journey alone.
As for the later intelligence being found to be wrong, that had nothing to do with him and was Lu Ziwei's concern.
“Everything is under control.”
After having tricked Lu Bei, Lin Buyan felt very happy. He didn't want to commit suicide in the first place, so he gave Lu Bei an excuse to beat him up.
But the man surnamed Lu was so shameless that he kidnapped Bai Jin out of Beijun Mountain in front of him and stayed there for several hours. This was intolerable and he could not tolerate it anymore.
…
As for Lu Bei, seeing that Lin Buyan was confident, he nodded secretly, rubbing his hands and returning to Wuwang Peak.
Lu Bei highly approves of the methods of Sect Leader Lin, who is good at calculations and has a long-term vision. He has been in charge of Lingxiao Sword Sect for a hundred years. With his mere cultivation in the Void Refining Realm and the weirdness of many Fusion Realm cultivators, the Heavenly Sword Sect hates him but cannot get rid of him. He relies not on strength but on brains.
Except for being beaten by Mu Lichen, Hu Er, and Mo Buxiu, he has never failed once.
Even during these three times, his strength was not enough. When it comes to conspiracy and scheming, Sect Leader Lin is never inferior to anyone in his life.
Don't forget the peak.
With Sect Leader Lin as his amazing teammate, Lu Bei felt at ease playing the role of a thug, calming down to help Bai Jin and Zhan Hongqu in their practice.
After coaxing Bai Jin to comprehend the immortal sword intent, she pushed open Zhan Hongqu's door and asked her bestie to start dual cultivation.
While it's frightening, there's also a different kind of excitement.
Bai Jin was completely unaware and was amazed at Senior Sister Zhan's amazing talent. Even though she had the cultivation accelerator given to her by her junior brother, she was still almost suppressed.
Under pressure from Zhan Hongqu's steady pursuit, Bai Jin was unwilling to admit defeat and took the initiative to invite Lu Bei to practice dual cultivation. Their feelings grew stronger day by day and they were no longer averse to some cuddling.
Zhan Hongqu was in a worse situation. During the day, he saw Lu Bei and Bai Jin being so affectionate with each other, and his nose felt sore and he felt very uncomfortable.
The dual cultivation of the souls is connected by aura, and it is not something that can be vaguely passed off as business. Every time Lu Bei and Bai Jin leaned against each other, she would stand aside and look sour.
Gradually, Bai Jin sensed a hint of hostility.
As a newbie in the love field, Bai Jin's means of protecting his food were ordinary. Apart from inviting Lu Bei to practice dual cultivation more diligently, he would also ask Lu Bei to draw his eyebrows for him or paint with him on a daily basis, and he would sign his name to him.
She was a newbie, and the same was true for killing Hongqu. She felt aggrieved, knowing that she was in the wrong but had no one to complain to. Once, after practicing dual cultivation with Lu Bei, she burst into tears and said that she wanted to kill Le Xian.
It's so pitiful.
Lu Bei said it was not a big problem and encouraged Zhan Hongqu to stand up and continue rolling so that he could sit back and enjoy the ride.
Zhan Hongqu glared at the cruel man, demanded a large amount of innate Qi, and then closed himself off directly.
Without Zhan Hongqu's secret threat, Bai Jin became even more enthusiastic, like a victorious general. He was too proud and almost lost his virginity on the spot due to sweet words.
Obviously, fairies and the like, although they seem high and mighty, once they are dragged down to the mortal world, they still have to kneel before the scumbag.
…
Happy days come quickly and go quickly.
Lu Bei was enjoying himself in Wuwang Peak, Lin Buyan was in a state of great anxiety, Fox Er's support had not arrived yet, and the Tianjian Sect made another sinister move.
The Yuezhou Iron Sword Alliance joined the sword cultivators and received the order from the leader of the Lingxiao Sword Sect. Many masters gathered in Beijun Mountain. There were hundreds of people, from the Void Refining Stage to the Spirit Transformation Stage, and they were all the backbone of the Iron Sword Alliance.
That day, the sword light on Beijun Mountain was so bright that Lin Buyan's face turned pale with fright.
This is not coming to help, this is clearly putting a sword to his neck and forcing him to rebel.
Before Lin Buyan could send these fools away, the Huangji Sect finally responded. First, the Yuezhou air traffic control was under full martial law. Except for the Huangji Sect's shuttle, no flying props were allowed to fly over Yuezhou.
The elder Zhang of the Huangji Sect who came to take charge made a stern statement that even if it was a bird that dared to fly around over the no-fly zone, it would be shot down on the spot.
Everyone knows who this bird is, so the elder won’t specify it.
The Huangji Sect had a strong army and blocked all the checkpoints in Yuezhou, gradually closing in on Beijun Mountain.
During this period, any mountain gates visited by sword cultivators would be closed, and anyone who refused to obey would be killed.
What kind of temper did the sword cultivators have to endure such injustice? They rushed forward immediately using the sword-wielding skills they had just learned.
After several hard battles, they were no match for the larger Huangji Sect and suffered heavy casualties, forcing them to flee in panic.
Seeing this, Lin Buyan was helpless and issued an order to the leader of Lingxiao Sword Sect, inviting all the sword practitioners of Tiejian Sect in Yuezhou to gather at Beijun Mountain.
Within one day, except for a few sword cultivators who obediently closed the mountain gate, all the sword cultivators in Yuezhou came to Beijun Mountain with their families. It was a sea of people, some practicing swordsmanship, some nursing their children, and some practicing swordsmanship while nursing their children. It was so lively.
People's sorrows and joys are not the same. Lin Buyan just thought they were noisy. Looking at a group of parasites eating and drinking, his heart ached beyond words.
It is difficult to go against the general trend, and this is what is happening right now. A certain emperor wearing a yellow robe expresses his understanding.
They are all difficult, just get through it.
Sima Buzheng, who was in charge of gathering intelligence outside, brought back bad news. As all the sword cultivators' mountain gates had withdrawn to Beijun Mountain, the encirclement of the Huangji Sect was rapidly shrinking, leaving little room for the Lingxiao Sword Sect to operate.
Those non-sword-cultivating sects that used to have good relations with the Lingxiao Sword Sect all expressed their willingness to provide support, but they had to wait as they could not spare any manpower for the time being.
Hearing this, Lin Buyan didn't say much. As a fellow sect leader, he knew the difficulties of these people.
The Huangji Sect was coming with such force that no one dared to speak at this time.
That night, Lin Buyan urgently contacted Hu Er and received the reply that reinforcements had arrived in Yuezhou and he just needed to wait for good news.
Hu Er did not say what kind of support or how many people it would involve. He only told Lin Buyan that the situation had been decided.
"Bah, if Lin believes your lies again, I will be Lu Bei!"
Lin Buyan was so angry that he jumped up and down. He had already found out the news that Yuezhou Xuanyin Division had no intention of interfering with Huangji Sect's beating up Lingxiao Sword Sect. Not only that, they did not care about the Huangji Sect when they attacked it, and they disappeared collectively.
Make room for him, wishing that Ling Xiao Jian Zong would be beaten to death on the spot.
"Where's Lu Bei? Where's that kid?"
"Report to the master, others..."
“No more.”
“Gone?!”
