Chapter 342
Four-Star Event: Chasing the Remnants]
[Reward: Four thousand karma, one three-star rare exchange item, one four-star rare exchange item]
...
Eh?
what happened
Lu Qing, who was practicing in Yuyan Mountain's lair, suddenly saw a reminder of a crusade event.
In fact, this thing is quite common, and the family will always encounter some incidents, especially now that the population is increasing and the plate is getting bigger and bigger.
These accidental events are also an important source of karma for Lu Qingting. There are very few rewards for a single event, but they add up to quite a lot.
It's just that most of the ones that come out are one-star and two-star, and there are very few rewards for rare exchange items. The most important thing is the gradual accumulation of karma.
Right now, that's a different story.
The four-star event cannot be triggered or resolved by ordinary clansmen.
Especially the words 'hunt down the remnants' made him immediately think that there must be some new problem in Yandu.
But the incident has been resolved, and even the rewards have jumped out, so it shouldn't be a big deal.
Lu Qing continued to practice with peace of mind, and would not stop until this cycle was completed.
Recently, he has finally pushed his cultivation to the perfection of Yuanying level. He felt that behind him, he could break through to the second floor of Nascent Soul at any time.
Although it is not a big breakthrough, but at the Nascent Soul level, this kind of small-scale improvement brings about a considerable increase in strength.
According to Lu Qing's estimate, if he can enter the fourth level of Nascent Soul, that is, around the middle stage, then he can basically be said to be invincible in the Nascent Soul stage. The enemy at the Yuanying level of his colleague is no longer his opponent. Unless the other party is also a very special kind, who also has supernatural powers or supernatural skills, then that's another story.
However, I don't know how long it will take to break through, and it may take a month or two to practice carefully. Therefore, Lu Qing is not in a hurry to proceed soon, after all, there are still a lot of things going on recently.
For example, the Lu family completely replaced the Li family and became the royal family of Dayan, bringing Dayan into the era of the Lu family.
This scene,
Lu Qing felt that he still had to witness it.
...
After a while, Lu Qing was teleported to Yandu, and had a general understanding of what happened before.
The Lu family has basically investigated the whole matter.
The three big families wanted to rob Li Xuanhao, it was not a temporary idea.
In the early days, when Li Chengzong and Li Xuanhao were fighting for the heir apparent, the three of them were Li Xuanhao's supporters, and there was a relationship here.
They were not naive enough to think that taking Li Xuanhao away would change the world of Yan, which was unrealistic.
But if Wei Guo is counted, it will be different.
They didn't know when they got in touch with Wei Guo. According to what they explained, Wei Guo had already sent an elite team of monks, crossed the border, entered Jizhou and hid there.
As long as the actions of the three major families succeed in bringing Li Xuanhao out of Yandu, they will take action to ensure that the members of the three major families, as well as Li Xuanhao himself, can be brought from Yan to Wei. And, in the future, they will also support Li Xuanhao's cause of restoring the country.
Of course, this kind of thing is actually very familiar to Lu Qing.
Is it true that the army will help Li Xuanhao restore the country? That Lu Qing probably doesn't exist.
But if people hold Li Xuanhao in their hands, it will naturally have its effect. Retirement, you can use this as a bargaining chip, and from time to time, you will come to disgust Yan Kingdom and Yunxiaozong, under the name of Dayan Orthodoxy, it is quite annoying anyway. In the name of advancement, they can even use this as an excuse to contact various royalist parties within the territory of Yan State and cause some civil strife.
Such civil strife is of course not a fatal matter for the Lu family and Yunxiaozong. But all in all, it still takes energy to solve the problem.
In his opinion, this is not a big deal.
Not much, because no matter how much Li Xuanhao and the royalists jumped and struggled, they couldn't change the upcoming abdication ceremony. The power of the imperial court was on the verge of collapse, even if the remaining forces were not weak, they were still in disarray and could not be organized; both Qingfeng Sect and Yunxiao Sect gave full support, and the Lu family was almost invincible in Yan Kingdom.
But to say it's small, it's actually not that big.
At such a point, there were still people who came to rescue Li Xuanhao at the risk of annihilation, and wanted to take him out, which proved that Yu En still survived under the thousand-year rule of the Li royal family.
Among the four major families, three of them took the risk of genocide to make troubles. Outside, some barefooted ones may have a more resolute attitude around the Li family. This proves that even if the Lu family inherits the throne, not to mention the external pressure from the Cloud Sect, even if it is to unify the internal court, it will probably be very difficult.
Of course, this kind of difficulty was already conceived by Lu Qing when he made the decision earlier.
However, if the Lu family wants to develop further and become stronger from the land of a peaceful state, no matter what path they choose, they will have to face different difficulties.
Difficulties are not a problem, just resolve them.
Moreover, Li Xuanhao's defection was unsuccessful after all.
If he really ran into Wei Guo's hands, it would indeed be a big trouble. But instead of running away, the three major families were exposed, which might actually be a good thing.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, they forced the Mo family to stand in line, and after the defeat of the other three families, they handed over the handle of the liquidation to the Lu family. It just so happens that you can take this opportunity to clean up, which will reduce the internal pressure that the Lu family will face when they really come to power in the future.
The three golden cores involved in this incident all died on the spot. As for the other monks below Jindan, they also suffered heavy casualties. Some of them were not killed on the spot, but were only captured. In the future, they will all be directly convicted and then beheaded.
Even the entire Zhang family, Zhao family, and Guan family can become history after this incident.
There is no need to make special accusations, such as treason and treason, let alone in the country of Yan, these two are the heinous crimes of the heavens. It is not a big problem to implicate the nine clans and destroy the family.
Even Li Xuanhao himself will be publicly executed for the two major crimes of treason and treason.
After discussing this matter within the Lu family, they decided to resolve it as soon as possible. Before the abdication ceremony began, the finishing touches would be cleaned up.
In this case, the person who issued this cruel order in name is Li Chengzong, the Emperor of Yan.
...
Seven hundred miles away from Yandu City, in a manor outside a small town, a group of people were sitting around.
They are all from Wei State, and they are Li Xuanhao's greatest support in escaping from Yan State, the supporters who came from Wei State.
They are members of the Great Wei secret camp. The secret affairs camp is the secret service agency of the Great Wei Dynasty, similar to the role of the National Security Agency under the Great Yan Tingwei Mansion.
The leader is even the one with a rather important position in the secret affairs camp of the Great Wei Dynasty. His name is Li Xuan, a monk at the peak of Jindan, he is the deputy envoy of the Great Wei Secret Affairs Camp, and he is considered one of the secret service chiefs of the Secret Affairs Camp. There are countless people in him and his secret camp.
It is also worth mentioning that Li Xuan is a staunch supporter of General Xia Cang of Wei State.
In addition to Wei Guo's secret envoy, there is another person here, who is a serious Yan Guoren.
This person wears a white mask without any marks or facial features.
What they are discussing at this moment is exactly what happened in Yandu before.
One of them said: "Zhao Weiyu and the others failed and did not rescue Li Xuanhao. There is another news that the Zhao family, the Zhang family, and the Guan family will all be wiped out by the company, and Li Xuanhao will also use the method of treason and treason." Sin, beheaded."
Another person said: "The Lu family... is very determined. It seems that they really have no intention of compromising with the traditional forces of the Yan Dynasty."
"This is a good thing for us." Li Xuan said, "Yan Guo, it's going to be a mess for a while."
Everyone around nodded.
Another person among them said in a regretful tone: "It's a pity that the chaos cannot be caused by Yun Xiaozong. Otherwise, the general will lead his troops to the north again, and perhaps he can really achieve the great achievement of destroying a country."
The faceless person wearing a white mask did not participate in their discussion throughout. On the contrary, he clenched his hands tightly, which seemed to represent the unrest in his heart at the moment.
As if he had observed this detail, Li Xuan smiled and said, "Mr. Bai Yuan, please don't blame us, we are talking too much, we shouldn't have said this in front of you."
Although there was an apology between the words, but no sincerity could be heard.
The person known as Bai Yuan said in a muffled voice: "It's not your fault. Our family and country have fallen into such a state. Although your Wei country has contributed a lot, in the final analysis, it is the fault of the Lu family and the Yunxiao sect."
"Yes." Li Xuan said, "Li Xuanhao didn't escape, what else does Mr. Bai Yuan think?"
"Although the emperor's grandson failed to escape, and His Majesty's blood is trapped in Yandu, our Faceless Society will not give up. We are going to temporarily abandon Yandu and move around the whole territory of Yan. Anyone from the Lu family who is released as an official will be killed; anyone who surrenders to the Lu family will be killed; monks from the Yunxiao Sect will be killed!"
"Mr. Bai Yuan's loyalty, although Li is not in the same country as you, he has to admire."
Li Xuan was in awe, and didn't know how much was pretending and how much was real.
However, Bai Yuan on the opposite side didn't really care much about it.
The person next to Zhou couldn't help but said, "You will face tremendous pressure from the Lu family and the Yunxiao sect."
"Act silently, hide your whereabouts, and kill people invisible." Bai Yuan said, "A direct confrontation is not an opponent, and I know it too. But we are not without roots in the Yan Kingdom. Many loyal people may not dare to blatantly confront the Lu family It’s right, but it will also be our help. With their help, our people, whether they have information or hide on the spot after they get it, will not be a problem.”
"Okay, with your words, I feel relieved. On behalf of the Dawei Secret Affairs Camp, I promise to give you the greatest support for the Faceless Society, in terms of manpower, material resources, and financial resources. If you need it, you know how to contact us." us."
"Thank you very much."
"Everyone gets what they need. Also, I would like to remind you that it is impossible for the 20,000 monks in Feiyun Prefecture to stay in Yandu for a long time. After they withdraw and return to Feiyun Prefecture, Yandu will be empty. You may not be able to stay in Yandu. Create some trouble."
"You don't need to say this, we naturally know."
...
The Lu family still doesn't know yet that a secret meeting that once belonged directly to the emperor will soon evolve into a future terrorist organization in the territory of the Great Yan Dynasty.
Right now, for the Lu family, the most important thing is to abdicate and ascend the throne.
To be honest, three months of preparation time is actually not too long. The preparations for various ceremonies are not too grand.
The Lu family doesn't pay much attention to those practical things.
Of course, no matter how you say it, he is much more imposing than when Li Chengzong ascended the throne three months ago.
The day before, the news was officially released.
After Li Xuanhao's defection, and for such a long time, all kinds of rumors have spread all over the sky in Yandu. In fact, those who are well-informed know that the abdication is inevitable.
Of course, it will be so fast, which still disrupts the psychological preparation of many people.
But now, no one really dares to say anything more.
There are still a lot of Li's followers. The die-hard faction who is determined to dare to give up their wealth and life, and wants to stand on the side of the Li royal family, those who are capable of jumping up and down, when the three major families jumped back and robbed Li Xuanhao before, they naturally made a move. Then it was liquidated.
The rest of the people either didn't have the guts, or the ability, or simply didn't have such a firm stand.
Three of the four great families that once flourished for an entire era, three of them were already there some time ago. Because of this incident, all the heads fell to the ground, full of blood, and the vast mansions of the three great families have now become empty places without people. Dare to jump?
In fact, at the beginning of the abdication ceremony, the most drastic method is to report illness and not come to court that day. Being an ostrich with its head buried in the soil, it would be nice not to see that scene with your own eyes.
In addition, there are even many people who are good at making money, have recognized the situation at this time, and actively strive to rely on the Lu family.
For these, the Lu family also raised their hands to welcome them.
The Lu family also understood that it would take too much effort to completely eradicate the court and build a new court by themselves. For opponents, ruthless suppression comes naturally. But if there are those who are willing to surrender, then giving goodwill will save a lot of strength in the next rule.
These officials who were willing to surrender, such as Lu Mingling, Lu Tingchou and their future clan members, were interviewed in person, and made some small promises in a friendly manner.
And it seemed that some important figures were even personally received by Lu Chaoxi, the patriarch of the Lu clan and the future Emperor Dayan.
