Chapter 272 Three Hundred Years Old!

Chu Hongfei took Lu Shuyun and dozens of followers and walked for more than two hours before finally reaching the cave entrance.

When they were about to reach the exit, they heard the sound of the sea water coming from the cave entrance. Lu Shuyun was delighted. He didn't expect Chu Hongfei to really lead them to escape.

Great, as long as he ran to Qi State, he would have a chance to make a comeback.

After a while, they walked out of the cave. When they left the cave, the sky had begun to turn white.

Looking at the vast sea in front of him, Lu Shuyun's ambitions were rekindled in his heart.

At this time, Chu Hongfei said on the side: "Your Highness, let's hurry up and leave. This place is not far from Sufeng City. If the court army realizes that you have escaped, they may send people to find you here."

After hearing Chu Hongfei's voice, Lu Shuyun came back to his senses. He immediately signaled a master next to him with a look.

Since they have escaped, Chu Hongfei is useless.

The master understood Lu Shuyun's meaning instantly, drew his sword, and pierced Chu Hongfei's chest.

Chu Hongfei suddenly felt a chill on his back, followed by a burst of severe pain. After spitting out a mouthful of blood, he lowered his head and looked at the sword blade on his chest in disbelief.

Then he widened his eyes and looked at Lu Shuyun, saying unwillingly: "Prince...you..."

Before Chu Hongfei finished speaking, the master who was protecting Lu Shuyun kicked Chu Hongfei off the cliff and into the sea.

After dealing with Chu Hongfei, Lu Shuyun was ready to leave, but at this moment, a man's voice came from behind Lu Shuyun, "Your Highness, Chu Hongfei at least brought us out. It's not appropriate for you to kill him like this."

"Isn't this a bit too ungrateful?"

"If Your Highness treats his servants like this, always killing them, who would dare to follow Your Highness in the future?"

Hearing this, Lu Shuyun was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect someone to dare to talk to him like this. Then he immediately turned his head and found that his followers had surrounded someone.

The person surrounded was Liang Zong, who had been helping him to make money.

Lu Shuyun thought that after going to Qi State, he would definitely need to accumulate some money to bribe court officials, and he couldn't rely on his uncle for everything, so he took Liang Zong with him.

As a result, he didn't expect that Liang Zong, a servant, would dare to talk to his master like this.

Lu Shuyun asked coldly: "Liang Zong, do you know who you are talking to?" Hearing this, Liang Zong smiled faintly, and then said: "Of course I know, I am talking to the leader of the rebels now." Seeing that Liang Zong actually called himself the leader of the rebels, Lu Shuyun was furious and said directly: "Since you insist on seeking death, then I will fulfill your wish!" At this point, Lu Shuyun said to the master next to him: "Kill him!" In Lu Shuyun's view, Liang Zong is just an ordinary person who is good at making money. Killing him is no different from pinching an ant to death. After hearing Lu Shuyun's order, the master next to Lu Shuyun immediately took action and chopped Liang Zong's head with a knife. Just when everyone thought that Liang Zong was about to be beheaded, suddenly, Liang Zong directly pulled out a soft sword from his waist, and then cut off the head of the master who attacked him with a sword. Seeing the blood splattering in front of him, Lu Shuyun was stunned. The person who protected him was a great master, but he was killed directly. How is this possible? ? ?

Lu Shuyun looked at Liang Zong in disbelief, "You... you actually know martial arts!"

Lu Shuyun always thought that Liang Zong was an ordinary person, but he didn't expect that Liang Zong could kill a master so easily.

Being able to draw a sword so quickly, even so fast that a master couldn't react, Liang Zong's strength must be at least a master or above.

Lu Shuyun was instantly filled with fear.

An ordinary person who has been by his side for so many years suddenly has the strength of a master. What does this mean?

It means that this person is lurking by his side for some purpose. Now that his rebellion has failed, and there are only a few dozen followers left by his side, Liang Zong suddenly reveals his strength, which means that Liang Zong is going to attack him.

Liang Zong smiled and said, "Your Highness, I never said I don't know martial arts. It's you who always think I don't know martial arts."

Lu Shuyun couldn't help but take a step back, "Who are you?"

Liang Zong smiled and said, "The one who sent His Highness on the road."

Hearing this, Lu Shuyun hurriedly said to his followers, "Kill! Kill him for me!"

As soon as Lu Shuyun finished speaking, everyone immediately took action.

Liang Zong waved his soft sword, and a series of sword sounds rang out. The next moment, the followers who rushed up were easily solved.

After seeing this scene, Lu Shuyun knew that his followers were not Liang Zong's opponents, so he turned around and ran, trying to let his remaining followers hold Liang Zong for a while.

But unfortunately, those followers did not buy Lu Shuyun too much time. Before Lu Shuyun ran a few steps, Lu Shuyun's followers were killed by Liang Zong alone.

Seeing Lu Shuyun running away, Liang Zong smiled faintly, kicked hard with his right leg, and a stone flew directly towards Lu Shuyun, knocking Lu Shuyun's body to the ground.

After Lu Shuyun fell, he turned around and kept backing away.

He retreated while saying, "Who do you belong to? As long as you surrender to me, when I go to Qi State, I will let my uncle give you a lot of gold. If I sit on the throne in the future, I will make you a duke!!!"

Hearing Lu Shuyun's words, Liang Zong smiled and said, "Your Highness, I am not Chu Hongfei. I will not believe your big cake so easily."

At this point, Liang Zong was ready to take action. Lu Shuyun hurriedly said, "I am the prince! You can't kill me! Even if I rebel, I am the prince appointed by Emperor Xia. If you kill me, you will not have a good end!"

Liang Zong ignored Lu Shuyun's words and swung his sword directly. The sword flashed and Lu Shuyun's body slowly fell to the ground, but he still had a trace of consciousness.

Liang Zong said at this time: "Finally, let me introduce myself. I am Liang Zong, the commander of the Jinyiwei of the Northern Kingdom. Your Highness, please have a safe journey!"

Lu Shuyun spit out blood, his body slowly fell down, and a weak voice came out of his mouth, "You...you are...Lu Luchen...'s person..."

After saying the last sentence, Lu Shuyun completely lost consciousness. Liang Zong did not waste time and left directly.

Lu Shuyun died, and his undercover work came to an end. It was time to go to the Northern Kingdom to report to the King of the North. Since the King of the North used the Jinyiwei, he had never reported to the King of the North in person. This was not the performance of a good minister.

After Lu Shuyun escaped, the major families in Sufeng City soon noticed that Lu Shuyun was missing, but no matter how they looked, they could not find Lu Shuyun.

Two days later, the imperial army attacked Sufeng City, and the grandmasters of the Jiangnan family took action again and fought with the grandmasters of the imperial court again. In the end, the grandmasters of the Jiangnan family were all destroyed, and the three grandmasters of the imperial court were also seriously injured.

Some people from noble families took this opportunity to lead their clansmen out of Sufeng City. Although the imperial army also sent people to block the city gate, the noble families were still relatively strong, and there were many powerful people in the noble families, including many masters, and many of them finally escaped.

Of course, Zhao Quan also asked the imperial soldiers to chase the escaped noble family children at the first time. Although many of them were chased and killed, there were still some fish that slipped through the net.

But that was no longer important. Most of the noble families in Sufeng City were beheaded and executed on the spot. The properties of the major noble families were all looted and confiscated. Without land and money, those who escaped would not be able to cause any trouble in the future.

Zhao Quan originally wanted to catch Lu Shuyun and bring him back to Emperor Xia for personal trial. As a result, he heard that Lu Shuyun had escaped two days before the city was broken, so he had to send people to look for Lu Shuyun again.

In the end, he did find it, but he found a corpse. He had no choice but to have the corpse put away and transported back to the capital.

In this way, the Jiangnan Rebellion came to an end.

Not long after, Emperor Xia learned that Lu Shuyun had committed suicide on the beach. He was not particularly happy about it. He did not feel guilty about Lu Shuyun's death. Lu Shuyun was just one of his children. For him, death was death.

He was not happy because the actions of the North were becoming more and more frequent. Those soldiers of the North were very radical and even often provoked the imperial army stationed on the border of Qi.

Obviously, the North wanted the court to take the initiative to provoke a war, so that they could find an excuse to fight back.

Fortunately, he issued a death order to the imperial army stationed on the border of Qi. No matter what, as long as the soldiers of the North did not attack Qi, they were not allowed to attack the soldiers of the North.

Recently, Emperor Xia also received the investigation information sent by the shadow guard on whether Zhuge Chongguang had broken through to the heavenly realm.

Although there was no direct proof that Zhuge Chongguang had broken through to the Heavenly Man Realm, and they had not seen Zhuge Chongguang take action, the golden light that shot straight into the sky from the Northern Palace and the tornado that appeared in the sky were seen by the people of the entire Yan City.

This kind of strange phenomenon was obviously not something that a grandmaster could create, so Zhuge Chongguang was likely to have really broken through to the Heavenly Man Realm. In addition, the soldiers of the Northern Kingdom deliberately provoked trouble at the border of the Qi Kingdom, which further confirmed the conjecture that Zhuge Chongguang had broken through to the Heavenly Man Realm, and Emperor Xia became more and more worried.

He quickly transferred the elite soldiers of the court in Jiangnan to the north to prevent the Northern Kingdom from really rebelling.

At the same time.

Northland.

Dayu City.

After a long journey, Lu Chen and his team finally arrived at Dayu City.

The people of Dayu City had long known in advance that Lu Chen was coming, and when they heard that their king was coming, every household decorated their houses with lanterns and colorful decorations.

The people of Dayu City and the city lord personally came to the city gate to welcome Lu Chen's convoy.

After Lu Chen arrived at the gate of Dayu City, he got out of the carriage directly.

After all, he couldn't meet his people in the carriage.

Lu Chen rode his horse and slowly passed through the road into the city. There were crowds of people on both sides of the road, and the people were very excited.

When Lu Chen arrived at the gate of the city, he saw an old man standing at the gate, waiting respectfully.

Lu Chen got off the horse immediately, and at this time, the old man knelt down.

"Your servant, Xuanyuan Chaoge, greets the king!"

After Xuanyuan Chaoge knelt down, the people on both sides of the road also knelt down, "Greetings to the king! May the king live a thousand years, a thousand years, and a thousand years!"

After hearing Xuanyuan Chaoge's name, Lu Chen was stunned for a moment, and then he used the system to identify it and found that the mayor of Dayu City was really called Xuanyuan Chaoge.

The name Chaoge...

Lu Chen thought in his mind that it must be a coincidence, and then he stopped thinking about it.

He glanced at Xuanyuan Yunqi next to Xuanyuan Chaoge.

Xuanyuan Yunqi is still the same as the last time she went to Yancheng. She is wearing a black gold armor with a high single ponytail, revealing her white forehead. She is beautiful and makes people feel heroic.

However, Xuanyuan Yunqi's favorability towards her seems to have increased a lot.

[Name: Xuanyuan Yunqi]

[Identity: The daughter of Xuanyuan Chaoge, the head of the Xuanyuan family in Dayu City. She is 23 years old this year. She is the younger sister of Xuanyuan Chen and is a master. When she heard that you were coming to Dayu City, she and her father went out to greet you. 】

[Rating: 98]

[Loyalty: 100]

[Favorability: 60]

The favorability level has actually increased. How come it has increased so much?

Lu Chen thought to himself, if he remembered correctly, the last time he saw him in Yancheng Xuanyuan Yunqi, his favorability towards him was 50, right? This is only an increase of 10 points.

He, the King of the North, is so unworthy that even the characters summoned by the system have such a favorable opinion of him.

Lu Chen didn't think any more, he quickly walked to Xuanyuan Chaoge, then held his arms and said: "Xuanyuan City Lord, please get up quickly!"

Having said this, Lu Chen said to the people on both sides: "Everyone, please get up."

Upon hearing this, Xuanyuan Chaoge took the lead and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Immediately, the people on both sides also said: "Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Immediately afterwards, Xuanyuan Chaoge got up from the ground, and he said slightly excitedly: "Your Majesty, you are finally here!"

Lu Chen could tell that Xuanyuan Chaoge was really excited about his arrival at this time. Xuanyuan Chaoge's body was shaking with excitement, and there were even tears in his eyes. It seemed that he was waiting for this day. After waiting for who knows how many years, Lu Chen saw the vicissitudes of life on Xuanyuan Chaoge's face.

Lu Chen subconsciously checked Xuanyuan Chaoge's personal information through the system.

[Name: Xuanyuan Chaoge]

[Identity: Lord of Dayu City, 300 years old this year. He is very happy for your arrival. 】

[Strength: Grandmaster]

[Loyalty: 100]

Lu Chen was a little confused, he was three hundred years old!

Wait, he is already three hundred years old, why is his daughter Xuanyuan Yunqi only in her twenties? And his son Xuanyuan Chen is only a few decades old.

Old age brings a son?

This is too old.

You don’t have a child until you’re over 200 years old?

Lu Chen said with a smile at this time: "The Lord of Xuanyuan City just wants me to stand here, and doesn't he take me to your city to see it?"

Xuanyuan Chaoge came to his senses at this time, and he said quickly: "Your Majesty, please mount your horse, and I will lead the horse for you."

Lu Chen said: "No, I'd better walk. Walking more is good for your health."

Then Lu Chen handed the horse's reins to the soldiers beside him.

Lu Chen said: "Let's go."

Seeing that Lu Chen insisted on walking, Xuanyuan Chaoge said nothing more and then led Lu Chen into Dayu City.

After entering Dayu City, Lu Chen could clearly feel the wealth and order of Dayu City.

The streets of Dayu City were very clean. Although this could not be ruled out because he was coming to Dayu City, Xuanyuan Chaoge had people clean them again.

As Lu Chen entered Dayu City and walked through many streets, he found that the architectural integrity of Dayu City was much higher than that of Yancheng.

There are still earthen houses in Yancheng, and some people's houses are still full of pits, but Dayucheng is different. The houses in Dayucheng are all made of stone and wood, and the houses on the streets are all in rows, making it look like It's very neat and tidy, not as messy as Laoyancheng.

It can be basically seen from the buildings in Dayucheng that the lives of the people in Dayucheng are much better than those in Yancheng before.

Dayu City is further north, and the winter is longer and colder. As a result, Dayu City's life is better than that of the people in Yancheng. This is enough to show the leadership ability of Xuanyuan Chaoge, the city lord. How strong.

Lu Chen asked with a smile at this time: "Master Xuanyuan City, didn't you know you will live a long life this year?"

Xuanyuan Chaoge replied: "Back to your Majesty, I am exactly three hundred years old this year."

Lu Chen sighed and said, "I'm three hundred years old! Thank you for your hard work these years."

Xuanyuan Chaoge said: "For the sake of your Majesty, I don't have to work hard."

Xuanyuan Chaoge then took Lu Chen to inspect various places in Dayu City. In the evening, Xuanyuan Chaoge arranged for Lu Chen to stay in the City Lord's Mansion, and gave Lu Chen the largest hall in the City Lord's Mansion to live in.

Lu Chen looked at the magnificent hall in front of him and thought to himself that the standards of this hall were a bit high.

At this time, after Xiao Wenyao finished taking a bath, she came to Lu Chen and sat down in front of Lu Chen wearing a green translucent cicada dress. She leaned into Lu Chen's arms. Lu Chen did not immediately touch or touch her, but scanned her. He glanced at the main hall, and then his eyes fell on the maid in the main hall.

He directly asked: "Is this hall usually occupied by people?"

Hearing Lu Chen's question, the maid from the City Lord's Mansion immediately replied: "Back to your Majesty, this hall was specially prepared for you by the City Lord. It is usually unoccupied."

Lu Chen was stunned for a moment, prepared for himself?

Lu Chen then continued to ask: "Your city lord is already three hundred years old, why is his son and daughter only a few dozen years old? Do you know the reason?"

The maid replied: "My Lord, the city lord actually has quite a few children, but most of them have ordinary martial arts talents and only live for a few dozen years at most, so most of them have died."

"The city lord was afraid that he would not be able to wait for your arrival, so he had to keep having children. Finally, when he was more than 200 years old, Madam Mo gave birth to a son with extremely high martial arts talent, that is, Master Chen. Later, Madam Mo gave birth to Yunqi, and Miss Yunqi also has extremely high martial arts talent."

Hearing this, Lu Chen thought about it. He didn't expect that the characters arranged by the system for him had been waiting for his appearance a long time ago.

This is the case with the Dongfang family, the Wei family, the Qian family, and even more so with the Xuanyuan family.

Three hundred years...

Xuanyuan Chaoge has been waiting since he was born. No wonder he was so excited to see him today.
