This Is Exactly How Cultivation Works

Chapter 426: The question is the national situation here

Views:

Speaking of which, Lu Bei has not met Fox Er in person. The only time that the mother and son were affectionate and filial, Fox Er also criticized Lin Buyan's vest and told his godson that the waters of the Tribulation Period were very deep and he could not control it.

The reason why he guessed that the sender was his godmother when he received the secret letter was because he had smelled a similar scent on the five little foxes.

A unique pheromone that is different from rouge and powder, with a bit of charm and yet close yet distant. The opposite sex feels refreshed when they smell it, while the same sex feels confused and flustered when they smell it. The secret formula of the vixen is different for each one. It is a business card.

Normally, this scent is astringent and does not linger throughout the day.

Otherwise, it’s hard to say what the fate of the other vixens would be. The five on Sanqing Peak had already been driven out of the mountain gate by Elder She.

By the way, Fox Three also had a similar smell on his body. Lu Bei wanted to hit him when he smelled it and insisted that it was called body odor.

The aura on the secret letter was different, it was cold and elegant, and it lifted one's spirits. Correspondingly, Zhu Qilan suddenly became nervous, with a calm expression on his face, and moved closer to Lu Bei.

"Stop messing around and get down to business."

Lu Bei patted his butt. The secret letter had no words on it, only a message.

Fox Three encountered some minor problems in the North. Fox Two had been feeling unwell recently and was unable to travel far, so he asked Fox Four to go over and help his eldest brother.

What does it mean to be unwell? Is my godmother going to be struck by lightning

Lu Bei raised his eyebrows. The Tribulation Period was troublesome. Although he was strong, his movements were strictly restricted. It was far from being as free as the Fusion Period where he could go wherever he wanted.

"What's written on it?" Zhu Qilan was particularly concerned.

"Hey, how did you know I merged?"

"You've said this several times!"

Zhu Qilan's face turned sour: "I'm asking you a question, don't interrupt, what does it say?"

"What are you thinking about? This is my godmother, dear."

"… "

Zhu Qilan snorted coldly, knowing that he was being unreasonable, and stood up to leave, but Lu Bei pulled him back to his original position by the hand.

It's still a soft seat.

"Okay, okay, I was wrong. Let me touch you. Don't be angry."

Lu Bei held her hand and asked about her well-being, explaining, "My elder brother encountered some minor accidents in the north, and my godmother asked me to go over and help... You know my elder brother, he's the beautiful lady I showed you last time. Compared to him, you, cousin, are just..."

Zhu Qilan interrupted, "Your eldest brother is dead or alive now. If you are in a hurry, get on the road now!"

"I would like him to go on his way now, but he is cunning and scheming, and I don't think he will die for a while."

Lu Bei shook his head. He said he was indifferent, but his body was very honest. He took the mission documents off the table and asked Zhu Qilan to think of a solution. If the three western states were short of manpower, he would throw his soldiers over there.

Of the three western states, Guanzhou was still in Qingqian's hands, while Xianzhou and Luzhou were recaptured by the Huangji Sect. They would rather kill the wrong ones than let them go, and the speed of clearing out the rebels was very fast, but it also caused many rebels to lie dormant.

Lu Bei believed that the Huangji Sect must be facing the dilemma of insufficient manpower at this moment, especially for small and medium-level tasks, which lacked a large number of cannon fodder to carry out the tasks in a dispersed manner.

Perhaps he cannot gain any benefit from these tasks because he cannot handle them, but if he has a long-term vision, he can regard it as an early investment. Only when the leeks’ levels go up, he will get more experience in the future.

"I'll try my best."

Zhu Qilan nodded, then frowned and said, "You are the leader of the Tianjian Sect. The Huangji Sect is tied up now and will definitely find a way to deal with you in the future. Aren't you afraid that these people will betray you in the future after they get benefits from the Huangji Sect?"

"Don't worry, they have no other advantages, but loyalty."

"You're lying again."

After the golden light disappeared, Lu Bei first posted the mission at the commander-in-chief's camp, then returned to Sanqing Peak and sent the five little foxes to the secret realm of Cangqian Mountain. He then took She Yan and headed straight for the northern border.

The defense of the hilltop of Yuhua Sect is seriously inadequate. It can protect against gentlemen but not villains. In case the five little foxes are abducted by the Huangji Sect, which does not want to reveal its name, it would be safer to send them to the Tianjian Sect.

Before, Lu Beidu threw the little fox into the single room and carried it with him.

It’s no longer possible now. He promised the five little ones to let go of their nature, eat, drink, have fun and be carefree vixen, and he would not force them to practice in seclusion.

As for Elder She, he has extraordinary bloodline and a powerful weapon, the Golden Scaled Snake, so he has the ability to protect himself wherever he goes.

The golden light escaped, traveling a thousand miles in an instant, leaving the territory of Wu Zhou in a moment and heading straight for the border of Heze, Hanjin and Shuochang.

There are many small countries in the north, the larger ones are about the size of the three states of Wuzhou, and the smaller ones are about the same size as Langyu County where Lubei is located. The national strength varies, but no matter how strong the small countries are, they are all younger brothers in front of the big countries such as Wuzhou, Xiongchu, Qi and Yan.

The situation in the northern countries is somewhat complicated and cannot be explained in a few words.

Thousands of years ago, this was also a big country. However, several generations of monarchs were unruly, and various places rose up in rebellion, splitting into many small countries. Since then, there has been constant war.

After much difficulty in forming an alliance, the big countries such as Wu Zhou and Xiong Chu played tricks and elected different leaders. The small countries all wanted to suppress the others and stabbed each other in the back. The alliance existed in name only, and up to now, there has been no reunion.

The big countries like Wu Zhou and Xiong Chu did not take the opportunity to bully the weak and expand their territory. Firstly, they were afraid of another big country in the north, Xuan Long, and worried about bordering it. Secondly, there were many demons in troubled times, and the small countries were crowded with demons and demons. The forces of all parties were intertwined and entangled. Including them in the territory would only bring trouble to themselves.

Rather than having a large number of unruly and unruly people under his rule, it is better to support a puppet regime and hire an agent to play the comprador role.

The small country has a wise leader, the big country has benefited, and the people no longer have to worry about the outbreak of war. It is a perfect three-pronged approach.

The only bad thing is that the wise ruler of a small country is not loved by his own people because he is too good at making money, and he may lose his throne one day.

Also, because they are in power for a short time and it is a short-term deal, wise leaders are all fence-sitters waiting for a good price. They will call whoever gives them more benefits daddy.

When Qing Qian rebelled, the situation in Wu Zhou was in chaos, and the wise leaders of small countries took the opportunity to ask for benefits. They were instigated by the powerful Chu, Qi and Yan, but also had their own little thoughts.

Don't ask, the answer is this is the national condition. If you make more money today, you will have money to spend when you are driven out tomorrow.

This was roughly the situation of Fox Three. Just one step, he was toasting with the old emperor in the Heze Palace, and the next step, the general led a group of demons and ghosts to rebel. Before he could react, the old emperor led the harem and ran away.

I don't know who did this, but a wanted poster was posted on his head, and he somehow became the old emperor's beloved concubine, and she was pregnant.

Under heavy siege, he traveled northeast and west with a group of younger brothers and arrived at the border of three countries.

Who is Fox Three? He is Fox Two’s biological son and Fox Four’s biological elder brother. He is not a human being at all. How could he endure such injustice

Of course not, he had to call someone on the spot and ask Fox Er to come and seek justice for him.

The mountains are dark at night, the water is clear, and the cold wind blows through the folds.

In a dark place deep in the earth, Fox Three held the night pearl in his hand, muttering why the old witch hadn't come yet.

"Could it be that he felt that his biological son was not capable of great use, so he went with the flow and gave his godson a chance to take over?"

"Probably not. That ungrateful bastard is worse than me. At least I am filial."

Beside them, seven or eight people were sitting cross-legged with their eyes closed, some practicing qigong to restore their magic power, some recuperating from their injuries.

A dark-faced man opened his eyes and slowly exhaled a breath of foul air. Seeing Hu San talking to himself, he couldn't help but ask curiously: "Hu Ziwei, did you find anything unusual?"

The black-faced man is called Wang Hu, a name so common that it is everywhere. It is hard to say whether it is his real name or not. Anyway, in the files of Xuanyinsi, he is called this name.

The Wu Zhou Xuan Yin Si had both inner and outer divisions, which were under the charge of two Xuan Wei.

Yu Tao was in charge of the affairs within the Wu Zhou territory. Fox Three and Fox Four worked under him. The identity of another Xuan Wei was relatively mysterious. He was lurking outside the Wu Zhou territory and had a secret intelligence network. Even his immediate superior, Fox Two, sometimes did not fully understand the whereabouts of this Xuan Wei.

Wang Hu was under the management of this Xuanwei. According to him, as a purple guard, Hu San could see Yu Tao from time to time. He had joined the Xuanyin Division for many years, and it was still a mystery whether his boss was a man or a woman, tall or short, fat or thin.

Without further ado, Wang Hu has been undercover in Heze for many years and is very familiar with the two countries of Hanjin and Shuochang. He is a local tyrant-level figure.

Fox San received the mission and arrived at Heze, and Wang Hu was responsible for meeting him. The original plan was that Wang Hu would hide his identity and not show up, and only provide information about Heze. Regardless of whether Fox San succeeded or failed in the mission, he would not interfere.

When plans are made, changes are never taken into account, and even if they are, the changes are often unexpected.

This time the change was beyond expectations, Wang Hu had to reveal his identity and accompany Hu San to carry out the mission. As a result, they encountered a rebellion, and not only did they work in vain, but Wang Hu's identity was also exposed and he could no longer stay in Heze.

After all, Xuanyinsi is not Huangji Sect. The latter sent out its grand elder, who never worried about exposing his identity. When traveling among the northern countries, he would act sideways rather than upright.

"Nothing unusual, you guys continue to practice. If anyone comes, I will immediately..."

The ground beneath his feet rumbled and shook, then slowly rose upwards. Fox San's face suddenly changed, and he raised his hand to take out the Earth Bead, using his magic power to drive the Earth Bead.

"This person's magic power is far superior to mine. He is an expert in earth escape."

Fox Three gritted his teeth and tried to slow down the speed of the ground rising, but it was difficult to change the upward momentum: "Get ready for battle, the pursuers are coming!"

Upon hearing this, several people took out their weapons and talismans, and poured a whole bottle of pills into their stomachs.

boom!!

Four earthen platforms rose to the ground. Seeing the bright moonlight, the men formed a defensive formation.

On the left, a red-haired young man led dozens of men in black. On the right, a bald old monk had a compassionate smile on his face and was counting the Buddhist beads in his palm one by one.

The Buddhist beads flashed a black light, and the earth-attributed spiritual energy was rich. It was he who dragged Hu San and others out from underground.

After seeing the two men's faces clearly and comparing them with the intelligence from Heze Country, Hu San and Wang Hu's faces immediately turned gloomy.

Chi Kuangtian, the leader of the Fire God Cult of Heze Country, was given the title of the Red Flame Saint.

Fa Jin, the state teacher of Heze State, is known as the Divine Monk of the North.

The name is a bit childish, but it is a small country and the national conditions are there. If we don’t brag a little, we won’t be able to control the situation.

Both of them are at the peak of the Void Refinement Realm, and are only one step away from advancing to the Fusion Realm. In a big country like Wu Zhou, they are strong enough to establish their own schools and dominate the area.

At least, there is still a good chance of winning against Sect Leader Lin who does not have a strong influence.

We are surrounded by powerful enemies and there is no one on our side who can fight back.

Without further ado, Fox Three took a deep breath, his eyes glowed with a glittering green light, and shouted towards the south:

"Mother, save me—"

The voice of calling spread across the mountains. Chi Kuangtian looked at Zhi and laughed: "Witch, where can your mother come from in this wilderness? Not to mention that there is no mother, even if she came, with this beautiful night, I can kill you and your daughter."

"Amitabha, the Holy Lord of the religion, why do you speak such foul words?"

Fa Jin shook his head slightly and said to Hu San: "Let me be fair. Your life is cut short today. There is a cause and effect. It is both fate and retribution. No one can save you."

"Humph! You are aloof, you are not lustful!"

boom!!!

There was a loud thunder in the sky, and in the distance golden light spread out waves of air. Amidst the rumbling sound, a figure fell to the ground with a bang.

Dust rose up and hurricane-force winds flattened the grass and trees.

Amidst the dust, a cold snort spread out: "Bald donkey, what did you just say? Do you dare to say it again?"
