Black and White Wu Chang grabbed the black iron rope, smiled ferociously, and pulled it away from Lu Ning and others.
But at this moment.
A blue-red sword light broke through the ghost realm, slashed down from the sky, and struck at the three men, Black and White.
"Huh!"
The three Green Ghost Emperors were all startled by the sudden appearance of the shocking sword light.
brush!
Hei Wuchang reacted quickly, pulling out the black iron chain from his hand and hitting the sword light.
"Kakaka...!"
As soon as it touched the sword light, the black iron chain instantly shattered.
Hei Wuchang's face changed drastically.
Poof!
The Spring and Autumn Sword passed through Hei Wuchang's chest, bringing up a trace of blood, and the dark ghost energy billowed on his chest.
"ah……!"
Hei Wuchang screamed in pain, but the Spring and Autumn Sword did not stop, and slashed at the Green Ghost Emperor in a flash.
boom!
The Green Ghost Emperor immediately blocked the Spring and Autumn Sword with his black umbrella and exclaimed: "Isn't the Spring and Autumn Sword Gate and the Spring and Autumn Sword lost?"
Bai Wuchang also saw it and was about to take action.
I saw the Spring and Autumn Sword shining brightly, piercing the black umbrella and passing through the Green Ghost Emperor's lower abdomen.
Puff.
Blood splattered out.
Then the Green Ghost King let out a painful groan, and his body began to twist, turning into a ball of ghost energy and disappearing into the ghost realm.
Seeing this scene, Black and White and Wuchang looked ugly.
"cut!"
Lu Ning's eyes flashed coldly, and he controlled the Spring and Autumn Sword like a sword, slashing at Black and White Wuchang.
"Open your eyes!"
Just hearing the roar of Black and White Impermanence, the two people merged together to form a tall Black and White Impermanence ghost, extremely ferocious.
His eyes suddenly opened, like the eyes of hell, emitting extremely strong blood light, colliding with the Spring and Autumn Sword.
Seeing this, Lu Ning's eyes flashed and he rushed over like a gust of wind.
"Vajra Thunder Fist!"
Bang.
The Vajra Thunder Fist instantly struck the body that was a fusion of black and white, piercing its lower abdomen, and ghost blood splattered out.
"Ahhh...!"
Screams came from Black and White Wuchang's mouth.
next moment.
The Spring and Autumn Sword pierced the center of his eyebrows, causing a puff of blood to appear.
Even so, Black and White Wuchang did not die. The two of them turned into a group of black shadows and white shadows, and disappeared into the ghost realm in a flash.
Lu Ning's eyes flashed coldly, and he cut open the dark ghost realm with a sword, only to find that the setting sun had set and night was approaching.
"Lu Chang'an, if things don't change, we'll offend the Wangui Sect. Let's wait and see!"
A gust of dark wind blew, carrying the cold and angry voice of the Green Ghost King.
Lu Ning snorted coldly: "If they weren't here, I would have gone after you. Are you still thinking that things will turn around?"
After the sound spread, Lu Ning put away the Spring and Autumn Sword.
He got back on his horse, "crossed the Tianhe River and rested in the town."
April 23rd.
evening.
Lu Ning and others passed through Hongjia Town.
Before night falls.
Everyone returned to Beijing and Zhou after a long journey.
For twenty-three days, Lu Ning and the others traveled through the five states of the Great Friday, rescued Tianshi Dao, exposed the tears of the stone Buddha, were intercepted and killed, and rescued Wei Feng and the others.
Unfortunately, Zhongli was not found, and Master Jinlin was not captured.
Return to the Demon-Suppressing Division.
Lu Ning did not go to Gu Fengtang to recover his life, it was too late.
After simply washing away the dusty atmosphere, he took Gu Wushuang and others to Zuiwu Tower for a big meal.
After that, everyone went home to rest.
Return to Lu Mansion.
My sister-in-law and my niece have already rested.
Lu Ning did not disturb them and asked Kong Rong to prepare bath water and take a nice wooden bath.
With his eyes closed, his head rested on the edge of the barrel.
Lu Ning took a look at the catalogue:
Sinner: Evergreen (eight stars)
Cultivation: Second Grade Ghost King (Perfect)
Heavenly Punishment: 20 Strength
Reward: 480,000 experience/day and night
…
Guilty Ghost: Black Impermanence (Eight Stars)
Cultivation: Second-grade Ghost King (late stage)
Heavenly Punishment: 20 Strength
Reward: 450,000 experience/day and night
…
Guilty ghost: Bai Wuchang.
Cultivation: Second-grade Ghost King (late stage)
Heavenly Punishment: 20 Strength
Reward: 450,000 experience/day and night
After taking a quick glance, Lu Ning looked excited. Although he didn't catch the three Green Ghost Emperors, it was not without some gains.
Gain at least 1.38 million experience points.
Adding the previous 727, the experience point becomes 8.65 million points per day and night.
What a pleasure!
Take a look at the experience: 63.33 million points.
Looking at the skills again, Lu Ning decided to start with the "Three-Point Return to Origin Jue".
This exercise is very magical. It can combine similar exercises to form a new exercise.
At present, there are too many exercises in the illustrated exercise list, including perfect ones, fire ones, and hall ones. Lu Ning is dazzled by them. It’s time to sort them out.
After all, at his current level, he should specialize in some exercises and not be too complicated.
Kung Fu: Yipin San San Gui Yuan Jue (beginner, 3 million/50 million)
Lu Ning frowned slightly, 63.33 million experience points could only upgrade this technique to the Dengtang realm.
"upgrade!"
Regardless of whether you have reached the Dengtang realm, it should be smoother to integrate other magical powers and techniques after you reach it.
Buzz!
The world trembled, and Lu Ning found that the true energy in his Qihai Dantian was suddenly compressed, and the energy became purer and the quality increased.
Other than that, Lu Ning didn't notice any changes in himself.
Let’s look at the technique again: Yipin San San Gui Yuan Jue (Dengtang, 0/100 million).
Experience: 16.33 million points.
After taking a look, Lu Ning sighed.
Too inexperienced.
He just glanced at the remaining 16.33 million experience points and didn't move again.
Adding other exercises is not enough.
After a while, he came out of the barrel.
Put on clean pajamas and let Kong Rong carry the barrel out.
Lu Ning sat cross-legged on the bed and fused "Vajra Divine Fist" and "Golden Thunder Buddha". He found that they could be fused when they were used, but they could not be fused in the skill column.
Thinking about this, Lu Ning tried to combine two perfect fifth-grade skills "Dragon Capture Hand" and "Monument Throwing Hand".
Immediately perform the Three-Point Return to Origin Technique of the Dengtang Realm, integrating the two techniques in your heart.
The next second.
The Heavenly Punishment Illustration flashed, and in the skill column, "Dragon Capture Hand" and "Monument Throwing Hand" disappeared.
But there is a one-step fourth-level skill "Dragon Shaking Hand" (perfect)
An idea flashed across Lu Ning's mind, and the "Dragon Shaking Hand" palm technique went through his mind perfectly and proficiently, and then his flesh and bones showed perfect memory.
Lu Ning's random palm strike has the power to shake the giant dragon.
"I understand, this technique can be integrated with the perfection state, but it is not the perfection state, and it cannot be integrated at all."
Lu Ning smiled, and after mastering the Dragon Shaking Hand once, he lay down on the bed to rest.
He is too inexperienced now and has not been able to perfect most of the techniques.
Next, continue to accumulate experience and start integrating exercises.
The next day.
Experience: 25 million experience.
Lu Ning glanced at it and went to wash up and have breakfast.
I saw my sister-in-law holding her little niece. Her face was red and she was lying in her mother's arms with her eyes closed. She was very unhappy.
Lu Ning raised his eyebrows: "Niuniu, are you sick?"
Ruan Shuting was not in the mood either, so she hummed, "After breakfast, I'll send someone to call the doctor."
Lu Ning curled her lips: "Sister-in-law, why should I hire a doctor? I am the doctor."
With that said, he took the little girl from Ruan Shuting's arms.
"Are you okay?" Ruan Shuting glanced at Lu Ning.
The little girl couldn't help but struggle in Lu Ning's arms, "I won't let you hold me, I won't let you hold me...!"
Lu Ning ignored his sister-in-law and forcibly held the little girl to prevent her from moving. He touched the jade belt with his palm and took out a small jade bottle.
A golden elixir the size of a longan was poured out from it. Ruan Shuting was stunned when she saw it: "What is this?"
Lu Ning glanced at her mouth and said, "Don't worry, can I harm her?"
"Come on, Niuniu, ah ah ah... open your mouth, my uncle will give you a candy to eat."
As soon as she heard the candy, the little girl opened her pink mouth.
When Lu Ning saw it, he quickly put the marrow-cleansing pill into the little girl's mouth.
The little girl stared with big eyes, and just when she felt like it was getting stuck in her throat, she suddenly found that the 'candy' had melted, but there was no sweetness at all.
"Wow... stinky uncle, big liar...!"
The little girl waved her fists and kept hitting Lu Ning.
Ruan Shuting kept staring at her daughter from the side, and found that her face was getting redder and redder, like a red-hot man, and her face suddenly changed: "What did you give her to eat?"
"What's the rush? It'll be over in a moment!"
As soon as the true energy from Lu Ning's palm came out, he made the little girl remain motionless. One hand was placed like a sword on the Zigong point of the Ren meridian, and the other hand was placed on the back of the Du meridian Shinto point.
A trace of true energy moved inside the little girl's body, spreading the marrow-cleansing pill to all her limbs, and opening up her meridians in one breath.
Let the power of the elixir circulate more smoothly, nourishing the blood, flesh, periosteum and marrow.
After a while, the little girl's skin color returned to normal.
Lu Ning quickly stopped and removed the true energy from his body.
"Mother!"
As soon as the little girl was free, she ran towards Ruan Shuting.
He still looks sick.
Ruan Shuting touched her daughter's forehead and found that it was no longer hot. She looked at Lu Ning in surprise: "Second brother is so capable, he can even become a doctor."
Lu Ning smiled bitterly. That was the only marrow-cleansing pill he was rewarded in the catalog. When the little girl was five or six years old, he would give it to her to forge her spiritual roots, and then send her to practice in a year or two.
In the future, your cultivation will surely progress thousands of miles.
"Second brother, do you still have the elixir? Give my sister-in-law two more pills." Seeing that Lu Ning was silent, Ruan Shuting served Lu Ning a bowl of rice porridge and asked with a smile.
Lu Ning glanced at her sister-in-law, she saw that her sister-in-law had access to three meridians, and she probably didn't even know it.
But Lu Ning felt a little strange. After her sister-in-law took the elixir and opened her meridians, didn't she feel swollen and bloated?
Thinking about it, he gave all the remaining three pulse-opening pills to his sister-in-law and warned: "There are three pills in the small bottle. Take one pill every twenty days!"
"Remember, don't eat too much at one time."
"Where are the three?"
Ruan Shuting was very happy when she heard that, she nodded repeatedly and said, "Sister-in-law, I remember."
Thinking about this, Lu Ning called Kong Rong in and gave an instruction: "My sister-in-law's meridians are clear. You can find a simple mental training method that is suitable for her, including immortal and martial arts. Let her learn to practice slowly."
practice."
"Otherwise, the energy accumulated every day will hurt her heart."
Kong Rong glanced at Ruan Shuting, nodded and said, "It's the young master."
After Kong Rong left.
Lu Ning said while eating: "How will Ruan Changqing's matter be handled in the end?"
Ruan Shuting raised her head and raised her chest, and said: "He was sent back to his hometown for burial. The murderer was not found. County Master Liu gave some money to his uncle's family."
Lu Ning nodded and said, "Where's Ruan Ping, still working as an errand in the Qin Mansion?"
Ruan Shuting said: "Yes, I asked someone to find him and asked him to leave the Qin Mansion and come to the Lu Mansion to find something for him to do. He was unwilling to give him money to go back, and he was also unwilling to have to break out on his own.
A whole world."
Lu Ning shook his head secretly: "I hope he can make a breakthrough."
Lu Ning has already told Ruan Ping that the Qin Mansion cannot stay.
Because something will happen to Qin Zhong soon, wouldn't staying in the Qin Mansion be a disaster from heaven?
He doesn't believe that Ruan Ping will not do any bad things while staying in the Qin Mansion?
An honest person cannot get ahead, but if he does bad things, he will be dragged down.
So if you want to get ahead in the Qin family, if you don't do something that satisfies Qin Zhong, how can you get ahead?
The Demon-Suppressing Division.
Beizhengsi Main Hall.
When Lu Ning came.
It was discovered that Wang Dingqianhu, who was sent to Moyun Kingdom, had all returned.
Before Lu Ning could say anything, Wang Ding stepped forward and gave Lu Ning a letter.
Lu Ning opened it, took a look, and said with a smile: "Yes, Wang Ding, you are brave and resourceful!"
As he spoke, he sat in front of the writing desk, picked up a brush to write a document, and shouted:
"Liu Xun!"
"Sir, my subordinate is here."
"Go, hand the paperwork to the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and tell Qianhu, the Ministry of Internal Affairs, to get the rewards quickly!"
"It's my lord!"
Liu Xun took the documents and ran out of the hall.
When Wang Ding and others heard that they were going to the Ministry of Internal Affairs to receive their rewards, everyone's faces were filled with joy.
"Except Jiang Qin, you all have rewards!"
Lu Ning said, glanced at Jiang Qin and said, "Are you used to it now?"
Jiang Qin nodded: "Sir, I have already adapted to it and started to complete the task."
Lu Ning nodded and glanced at everyone: "I don't care what your previous status was, whether you were the son of an uncle, the son of a duke, or a relative of the emperor. When you come to the Demon Suppression Division, you only have one identity, the Demon Suppressor!"
"If anyone can't recognize their identity and don't know what to do...hehe, the prison will be waiting for you one day!"
At the end of the sentence, Lu Ning stared at Jiang Qin.
Jiang Qin lowered his head slightly and said nothing.
"Okay, those who have tasks at hand will go to work first, and those who don't have tasks will go to rest."
"If there are new tasks, I will notify you."
"It's my lord!"
The ten people bowed, then turned and left the hall.
"You boy, you are not a big man, but you are not a young official!" The voice of the golden gourd rang in my ears.
Lu Ning frowned: "Who are you? Can you come out of my ears?"
"ah……!"
Jin Gulu yawned and said, "Boy, do you have amnesia? I am the Golden Gourd Immortal. Immortal, do you know?"
Immortal, you are a hammer!!
Lu Ning curled his lips and said: "I don't care whether you are the ancestor or the descendant, can you come out of my ear first?"
"Hey, when this immortal comes out, what can you do to me?"
"...My special mother wants to beat you up!"
"Come on, beat me up, come and beat me up!"
"...!!"
Just as Lu Ning went to beat up that cheap Jin Gourd, the latter disappeared in a flash.
His consciousness quickly dispersed and he searched in the hall, but could not see the shadow of the golden gourd.
Really a fairy?
Lu Ning's eyes darkened, otherwise how could the latter disappear out of thin air?
"Chilong, have you heard of the golden gourd?"
After a moment, the voice of Chi Long's demon soul came from the jade belt: "I have never heard of the Golden Gourd Immortal, but he doesn't look like a demon. Maybe he is a spiritual weapon that can speak human words.
"
Hearing this, Lu Ning lowered his brows, and it seemed that this was the only way he could explain it at the moment.
Three quarters of the hour.
Lu Ning went to the Hall of Justice.
When he arrived, Gu Fengtang had not returned from the morning session.
But Chen Hu, Zhang Chong, Zuo Hongchen, and Ren Wujie arrived earlier than him.
"I've met all the deputy directors."
Lu Ning smiled and hugged the four of them.
Chen Hu and the others just smiled, but Zuo Hongchen glanced coldly: "You have been running away for more than twenty days, have you caught Mr. Jin Lin?"
Seeing Zuo Hongchen's strange words, Lu Ning smiled and said, "Almost."
Zuo Hongchen snorted coldly: "What's so close? If you didn't catch it, you didn't catch it. You still don't dare to admit it?"
The smile on Lu Ning's face disappeared, and his eyebrows sank:
"Yes, I just didn't catch anyone, what can you do?"
Zuo Hongchen and Lu Ning were unhappy with each other, and the atmosphere became tense.
Lu Ning originally had no opinion of Zuo Hongchen. We were all deputy directors and colleagues. As Si Zheng said, when faced with real danger, it was his colleagues who could help him.
Zuo Hongchen, on the other hand, relied on the fact that he was from a wealthy cultivating clan and always looked down on him in his heart.
Anyone who can make fun of him will definitely be sarcastic when meeting him.
If it weren't for the prohibition of internal fighting in the Demon Suppression Department, he would have taught Zuo Hongchen a lesson today.
At this time, Chen Hu hurriedly stood between the two of them to smooth things over: "Haha, you two are so harmonious and auspicious!"
Zuo Hongchen snorted coldly: "It's true that harmony brings auspiciousness, but it also depends on who is right?"
Lu Ning frowned, wasn't it because I didn't catch anyone? I provoked you?
I heard Zuo Hongchen continue to say coldly: "It's fine that we didn't catch anyone, but we made such nonsense in Yongzhou and made the court look bad."
"Let me ask you, does the imperial court have three million elite soldiers and generals?"
Lu Ning's face turned cold, it turned out that this was the case, and he immediately shouted: "Whether or not, it's not your turn, Zuo Hongchen, to question me, who do you think you are?"
"you……!"
"You, you, you stupid pig like you are not worthy of understanding my thoughts."
"you……!"
"You, you, you are a piece of trash!"
Lu Ning stared at Zuo Hongchen coldly, come on, hurt each other, are you worthy?
Zuo Hongchen blushed because Lu Ning was so angry, he clenched his fists fiercely and turned away.
Lu Ning sneered and stood aside without saying anything.
Five quarters of the hour.
Gu Fengtang walked into the main hall and saw Lu Ning coming back. He nodded secretly as he passed by.
"See my lord!"
Seeing Gu Fengtang sit down, Lu Ning and the other five stood in a row and stepped forward to salute.
Gu Fengtang waved his hand, and the five of them stood up straight.
He looked at everyone and said: "I have something to announce. As you all know, I am currently serving as the Suppressant of the Demon Suppression Division and the Master of the Flying Dragon Cavalry. Sometimes I may not be in the Demon Suppression Division."
"Therefore, when I am away, I will be replaced by Deputy Director Lu. From tomorrow on, Deputy Director Lu will go to the morning court with me early."
Hearing this, the hall fell silent. The eyes of Chen Hu and others all fell on Lu Ning. Chen Hu and three others were doing better, but Zuo Hongchen's expression was extremely ugly.
Why?
Why is it Lu Ning? No one here is more qualified than him!
Zuo Hongchen roared in his heart, and even had an idea in his mind, if it doesn't work out, I will quit the Demon Suppression Division.
But then I thought about it, why did I, Zuo Hongchen, quit the Demon Suppression Division?
"What? What are you still thinking about?"
Gu Fengtang couldn't help but frown when he saw that Lu Ning and the others were silent.
"It's my lord!"
The five people came to their senses and hurriedly cupped their fists and saluted.
Gu Fengtang said: "The five of you, call back all the general banners and captains of the Demon Suppression Division."
"Recently, thousands of households and hundreds of households have been dispatched for tasks."
"It's my lord." The five people responded.
Gu Fengtang continued: "There is turmoil in the five states. Some powerful people and wealthy businessmen do not cooperate with the investigation, and they even want to attack thousands or hundreds of households."
"Remember, it is better not to arrest people than to fight with them. Record them in the book first, and then wait for this incident to pass, and then settle accounts with them one by one."
Hearing this, Chen Hu said: "Sir, will doing this bring down the dignity of the Demon Suppression Division?"
Gu Fengtang shook his head and said: "The root cause of the turmoil in the five states cannot be solved by the Demon Suppression Division. King Yongshan controls everything in Yongzhou."
"If we don't take Yongshan King, the root cause cannot be solved."
"Take Yongshan King, Yongzhou's Silver Armor Army, and Black Dragon Riders will take action."
"So, the Demon Suppression Division cannot solve this problem for the time being."
"What the Demon Suppression Division can do now is reduce casualties."
Five people nodded.
Gu Fengtang said: "For now, let's interrogate the criminals detained in the sky prison first, and those on the second floor who can be interrogated as well."
"Chen Hu, Zhang Chong, you two are responsible for interrogating those on the first floor, Ren Wujie and Zuo Hongchen, you two are responsible for interrogating those on the second floor, Lu Ning, you are responsible for supervision."
"It's my lord!" The five people nodded.
"The meeting is over, Lu Ning is staying!" Gu Fengtang waved his hand.
Chen Hu and the other four nodded, looked at Lu Ning when they left, then turned around and left the hall.
It wasn't until everyone had gone away that Gu Fengtang looked at Lu Ning and said in a deep voice: "Do you know that the words you borrowed from the Xie family in Yongzhou and the Cao family accelerated King Yongshan's rebellion."
The corner of Lu Ning's mouth raised slightly: "Sir, although my words are exaggerated, the purpose is to frighten the rebellious people in Yongzhou."
"If King Yongshan has no intention of rebellion or does not intend to rebel, the chaos among the people in the five states will be settled."
"If King Yongshan is determined to rebel, my words will not matter whether I say them or not."
"I even said that it would give those powerful people, wealthy businessmen, wealthy families, and common people some spiritual impact."
"At least when King Yongshan rebels, they will choose to fully support King Yongshan, not support him and maintain a neutral attitude, or support him less, just to preserve the family."
"From the situation point of view, this is also crucial to whether the imperial army can defeat King Yongshan."
Gu Fengtang pondered for a moment and sighed: "You can't hide your conspiracy from King Yongshan!"
Lu Ning said: "Since it's a conspiracy, I definitely didn't intend to hide it from him."
"King Yongshan is determined to rebel. Didn't you know what the empress said during the early court meeting?"
Gu Fengtang frowned and said: "Qin Zhong, Xu Kaishi, Zhen Guogong and others advocated war, while Zhang Juming and Shi Rui advocated no war."
Lu Ning nodded secretly and said, "Sir, what do you think?"
Gu Fengtang said: "The matter of King Yongshan's rebellion has not yet been fully confirmed. If he does not send troops to capture the city of Dazhou, we cannot be sure of his rebellion for the time being."
"So, what I advocate is to wait."
Lu Ning smiled and nodded: "There will definitely be a result before May 10th."
Gu Fengtang frowned and said, "Why are you so sure?"
Lu Ning said: "Because King Yongshan can't wait any longer. Since he plans to get rid of King Yongshan, it is impossible for him to be ready to attack the court. Let him be as anxious as possible."
Gu Fengtang said in a deep voice: "But the imperial court really doesn't have that many soldiers available. Even generals, there aren't many."
Lu Ning smiled and said: "Sir, you are the commander-in-chief of the Yunlu Battle. You should understand that the three armies only need one commander who can conquer the world."
Gu Fengtang shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Currently, there is no such talent in the Zhou Dynasty!"
Lu Ning said: "That's because the war didn't start. When the war started, talents naturally stood up."
Gu Fengtang shook his head secretly: "The Golden Blade Guards only listen to the Duke of Zhen, the Feilong Cavalry only listen to the Duke of Yan, and I am still getting along with them, the Black Tiger Cavalry listens to Pei Tong, and the Iron Buddha Cavalry listens to King Beimang.
"
"It is very difficult for the commanders of the three armed forces to mobilize them."
"If we don't cooperate with the order and insist on our own opinions, it may appear that we are united, but in reality we are in disarray."
"King Yongshan controls the Silver Armor Army. The Silver Armor Army has always been a unit. Now there are 500,000 Black Dragon Riders, all of whom are under the command of King Yongshan."
"When King Yongshan conspired to rebel, he must have personally put on armor and commanded the army. He must have been on the battlefield in person, and he must have united as one."
"Also, there is the shadow of King Yongshan behind the Battle of Yunlu. He is a wise man, and his military ability is not inferior to that of any general in the court."
"If you are handsome, do you think you are absolutely sure that you can defeat King Yongshan?"
Hearing this, Lu Ning remained silent.
Although King Yongshan is ruthless and treacherous, he is not a brainless person.
After all, how could someone who could control 800,000 silver-armored troops be incompetent?
Now there are 500,000 more Black Dragon Riders, all well trained.
Therefore, King Yongshan is a very terrible person.
If he joins forces with King Anshan and gives the court an enemy from both sides, the court will definitely be unable to stop him.
Lu Ning raised his eyebrows and said, "Sir, how many soldiers and horses does King Anshan have in Anzhou?"
Gu Fengtang said: "He is young. Counting the city defenders from all over Anzhou, he can mobilize up to 100,000 soldiers."
Lu Ning nodded secretly. One hundred thousand soldiers were indeed not many, but they were very useful at critical moments.
Gu Fengtang took a deep breath and said: "After the morning court, the empress asked me to go to Yongle Palace."
Lu Ning's eyes brightened slightly and she said, "What did your Majesty say?"
Gu Fengtang said: "Your Majesty means that if there really is a fight, the Demon Suppressing Division will also go to the battlefield, so I ordered me to build 68,000 pieces of armor."
"You take care of this matter."
"This is His Majesty's imperial edict. Take it to Pei Tong. He is the Minister of War. He will take you to the Ordnance Bureau and order it to build the armor you want."
Lu Ning stepped forward to receive the imperial edict and was about to leave when he suddenly asked: "Sir, can a strong man with a second-level cultivation level participate in the battle?"
Gu Fengtang didn't know why Lu Ning asked, so he said, "No."
Lu Ning was stunned for a moment, then asked: "What if, what if King Yongshan invites a second-grade expert?"
Gu Fengtang said: "Strictly speaking, no strong person of second grade or above can participate in the war, but if someone does participate, someone will naturally deal with it, so you don't have to worry."
Lu Ning nodded, said goodbye and turned to leave.
Return to Hokushoji.
"Liu Xun."
"Sir, my subordinate is here."
"Go and send a message to ten thousand households to come over."
"It's my lord."
Liu Xun responded and left quickly.
Not long after, ten thousand households from Gu Wushuang, Wang Ding, Pei Tianbei, Sheng Xuan, Wei Feng, He Dong, Sui Yun, Jiang Qin, Wu Kuishan and Song Dynasty came to the main hall.
Lu Ning directly ordered: "All the captains and general flags under my command have been recalled. Starting today, they will not be doing tasks for the time being."
"If you don't do tasks, you can't be idle. Song Ge, you can arrange the training."
"It's my lord." Song Ge nodded.
After a while, Lu Ning finished allocating matters, leaving Pei Tianbei behind in the end.
"Brother Lu... Sir, what's going on?" Pei Tianbei said with a grin.
"Accompany me to see the Minister of War." Lu Ning stood up and said.
"My dad?"
Pei Tianbei blinked his eyes and left Beizhengsi with Lu Ning.
Dazhou Gate.
That is, the main south gate of the palace is where the six ministers have their offices.
Lu Ning took Pei Tianbei down from the carriage and went straight to the office of the Minister of War.
In the main hall, Pei Tong was sitting in the upper position, and many officials from the Ministry of War were sitting below, discussing the military strength of Yongzhou.
Lu Ning and Pei Tianbei suddenly appeared at the door, and everyone immediately shut their mouths.
"father!"
Pei Tianbei shouted as soon as he saw Pei Tong.
Pei Tong glared at him fiercely: "You have become Qianhu, the Demon Suppressor, and you still don't know any rules?"
Lu Ning smiled on the side, feeling that Pei Tong seemed to be saying that he had not trained him well.
Pei Tianbei curled his lips and stood behind Lu Ning without saying anything.
On the other hand, the middle-aged man sitting on the right side of Pei Tong was named Zhang Sheng, Zhang He's father, who was promoted to the right minister of the Ministry of War.
"Sir, the young master is still young, and he is learning the rules slowly. Don't be angry." Zhang Sheng said with a smile.
Pei Tong glanced at Zhang Sheng but didn't say anything else.
Looking at Lu Ning, he smiled and said, "Deputy Secretary Lu, why do you have time to come to the Ministry of War?"
Lu Ning stepped forward and said, "Master Shangshu, I'm here for something!"
With that said, he handed the imperial edict to Pei Tianbei.
Upon seeing the imperial edict, Pei Tong and others stood up suddenly with respectful expressions on their faces.
"No, this imperial edict is not for you to receive. Lord Shangshu can just take a look at it." Lu Ning said hurriedly.
Hearing this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Pei Tianbei stepped forward and handed the imperial edict to Pei Tong. Pei Tong opened it and took a closer look, then nodded heavily and said: "Deputy Secretary Lu will go to the side hall to drink tea first and wait for me for a while."
"Okay, Master Shangshu is busy first."
Lu Ning nodded with a smile, turned around and left with Pei Tianbei, and went to a side hall to drink tea.
After about a pot of tea, Pei Tong sent someone to ask Lu Ning to go to the inner hall.
"Deputy Secretary Lu, please sit down."
In the inner hall, Pei Tong was quite polite to Lu Ning. Although this young man was young, his abilities were not inferior to those of the old guys.
After Lu Ning sat down, Pei Tong said:
"Sixty-eight thousand sets of armors and weapons, is the Demon Suppression Division preparing for war?"
Historically, the Demon Suppressor never participated in civil wars or foreign wars, unless it was a matter of life and death.
In fact, he did not even participate in the government affairs. After a slight change during the Ming Dynasty, Gu Fengtang went to the court to listen to the government affairs, but he never expressed any opinions. Even if he did speak, it was about the supervision of the Demon Suppression Division.
In fact, this matter can be reported to His Majesty alone and does not need to be in front of all the civil and military officials.
So many times, Gu Fengtang went to court just to show off.
Now His Majesty personally issued an imperial edict, and Pei Tong assisted the Zhenmo Division to build 68,000 armors and weapons. Didn't he want the Zhenmo Division to participate in the war?
But with the current situation in Da Zhou, it is not the turn of the Demon Suppressing Division to join the war.
Besides, a real fight with King Yongshan would be nothing more than a civil war.
Once the Demon Suppressor joins the battle and loses, they will all die.
Even if he won the battle, the emperor would still be afraid of Zhen Mo Si.
Lu Ning smiled: "Your Majesty, we ministers can only obey your Majesty's wishes. Lord Shangshu just obeys. The Demon Suppressing Division wants the best materials."
"The chief minister has one set, the five deputy chief ministers have one set, the one hundred and one thousand households have another set, and the one for the thousand households will be temporarily made the same, so that the weapons bureau will not be in trouble."
Hearing this, Pei Tong smiled bitterly. It was indeed not too troublesome, but what Lu Ning said about requiring the best materials was quite troublesome.
Generally, good materials are used in the armors of marshals, generals, generals, commanders, etc.
It is personally engraved by the spiritual masters, fire masters, or formation masters of Qin Tianjian, and it has extremely strong defense.
Seeing the embarrassment on Pei Tong's face, Lu Ning smiled and said: "At least it must be made of medium to high quality materials."
Pei Tong nodded and said: "Okay, I will try my best to satisfy Deputy Lu. I wonder what color Deputy Lu wants?"
Lu Ning thought for a while and said, "Black and purple."
Leave Dazhoumen.
Lu Ning took Pei Tianbei to the old Taoist temple in the south of the city.
Under the back wall of the old Taoist temple, a broken piece of armor was dug out.
"Brother Lu, isn't this the black armor of Guanshan Crazy Demon?"
Pei Tianbei blinked his eyes, looked up at Lu Ning and said, "Is he dead?"
Lu Ning nodded: "Last year, I killed him!"
