Chapter 132 In this world of turmoil, how can I, Lu Baifeng, be missing?
Northern Shuzhou.
The green mountains are faintly flowing in the middle, where can the cave sky and clouds come from?
Strange peaks stand tall, the mountains are continuous, green and steep, covered with clouds and mist.
On the dangerous peak, a gray figure stood quietly, like a figure in a splash-ink painting.
He put his hands behind his back and looked at the cloud-shrouded sky, his long pale hair flowing with the rolling clouds.
Suddenly, a sudden sound of footsteps broke the quiet and beautiful scene.
"Brother Lanzhou, I haven't seen you for many years. How are you?"
Gong Yunshan stepped to the edge of the cliff and chuckled.
"As long as I can't see you, everything will be fine for me." The old man standing on the top of the mountain turned his head, revealing a face with white hair and a childlike face.
The rosy face, the tall nose, and the pair of weathered and calm eyes seem to be full of the precipitation of time.
Hearing this, Gong Yunshan couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.
"It seems that Brother Lanzhou doesn't welcome me."
"Why do you come if you know?"
"Because I need Brother Lanzhou's help." Gong Yunshan said.
Qing Lanzhou shook his head slightly, "I won't help you."
"Don't be so arbitrary, maybe this is also an opportunity for you to go to the Yuan Sect." Gong Yunshan said.
"I know what you want." Qing Lanzhou sighed softly, "If it were thirty years ago, maybe I would be willing to take action. Unfortunately, not now."
"Why?" Gong Yunshan said.
"Because we are unable to take action anymore," Qing Lanzhou said.
Gong Yunshan frowned slightly.
"Qi Shang is dead!" Qing Lanzhou said.
Gong Yunshan's eyes widened, "How did you die?"
"I don't know." Qing Lanzhou shook his head slightly.
Qi Shang, who was immobile as a mountain, was killed by Qin Wei himself. When Qin Wei left the Qi Yuan Sect, Qi Shang and Li Man from the Shuzhou Holy Sect failed to attack Qin Wei and were killed by Qin Wei instead.
Apart from Qin Wei and others, the only person present was Lu Qingfeng from the Qi Yuan Sect.
The Qiyuan Sect and the Shangyuan Sect were originally hostile, so Lu Qingfeng would not be kind enough to tell the Shangyuan Sect about this matter.
In addition, Qi Shang likes to travel among the people and his whereabouts are always erratic, so even if he disappears, no one will notice.
If Qing Lanzhou had not made an agreement with Qi Shang before, he would not even know that Qi Shang was missing.
One month ago was the date of his appointment with Qi Shang. As a result, Qi Shang did not come back to keep the appointment. Qing Lanzhou felt that something was wrong, so he arranged for his disciples to go down the mountain to look for Qi Shang.
For a month, they found no trace of Qi Shang, and Qing Lanzhou could only conclude that Qi Shang was dead.
Gong Yunshan frowned. He could understand why Qing Lanzhou said that Shangyuan Zong was no longer able to take action.
The reason why the Holy Land of Cultivation is a Holy Land of Cultivation is because they have a complete innate inheritance of the third level of artistic conception. It can be guaranteed that every generation in the Holy Land will have an innate warrior who understands the third level of artistic conception.
Although other sects also have innate warriors, they do not have the innate inheritance to comprehend the third level of artistic conception, so they can only be regarded as ordinary sect forces.
For example, Tianshi Mansion in Tianzhou, Lishan Sword Sect, Luoxia Sect, Holy Sect in Shuzhou, Wushan Temple in Yunzhou, etc.
For the Holy Land of Cultivation, every innate warrior is crucial, because every innate warrior represents the alternation of top martial arts.
There were only two innate warriors in the Shangyuan Sect before, namely Qing Lanzhou and Qi Shang.
When Qing Lanzhou grows old, Qi Shang will become the head of Shangyuan Sect.
But now that Qi Shang is dead, the inheritance of Shangyuan Sect may be discontinued.
Qing Lanzhou must cultivate a new successor before he grows old, so now he naturally does not want to interfere in matters outside the sect.
Gong Yunshan was silent for a moment and said: "I can provide Shangyuan Sect with three Qingxin Pills and ten Yuan Ning Yuan Pills."
Qingxin Dan is a commonly used elixir among innate warriors. It helps to polish the state of mind and improve the understanding of artistic conception.
The Yuan Condensing Pill is a pill used by acquired warriors to break through to the innate realm. It can condense the true energy in the warrior's body and turn it into true essence, which can increase the chance of breaking through the innate realm.
The stacking of these two elixirs can allow a ninth-grade peak warrior to break through to the innate realm.
Pills like this are also extremely precious to the Holy Land of Cultivation.
Qing Lanzhou looked up at the misty clouds and said, "I can't possibly take action, but if you need it, my disciples can go down the mountain."
"Brother Lanzhou's disciples are all talented, but they may pay a heavy price once they go down the mountain." A strange light flashed in Gong Yunshan's eyes.
"What do you mean?" Qing Lanzhou asked with a serious expression.
"We only need innate warriors," Gong Yunshan said.
Most of Qing Lanzhou's disciples are ninth-grade warriors. The strength of ninth-grade warriors is not weak, but they cannot solve the problems of Nanyang City.
"You mean the Yuan Devouring Pill!" Qing Lanzhou's face turned extremely ugly.
"Yes, Qingxin Pill and Ningyuan Pill are very precious." Gong Yunshan chuckled.
The Yuan Devouring Pill is a taboo elixir that a ninth-grade warrior can forcibly upgrade to the innate realm after taking it, but the price is that when the energy is exhausted, the body will die.
The strength of the ninth-grade warrior who takes the Yuan-devouring Pill is naturally not as good as the innate warrior who cultivates himself, but no matter how inferior, he is still an innate warrior.
Qing Lanzhou closed her eyes slightly and was silent for a long time.
He understood what Bai Yunshan meant.
This is a deal.
He exchanged his disciple's life for the Qingxin Pill and the Ning Yuan Pill.
"Three people!"
"Okay!" Gong Yunshan responded.
"Sure enough, I shouldn't see you!" Qing Lanzhou sighed helplessly.
His disciples were all the people closest to him, but he had to trade his life for the elixir.
Because Shangyuan Sect really needs Qingxin Pill and Ningyuan Pill, otherwise he really can't guarantee that Shangyuan Sect's inheritance will not be cut off.
…
By the time Qin Wei arrived at Shuzhou City, it was already the end of May.
The turmoil in Shuzhou City has completely subsided. Although the streets still look a little lonely, at least the people have begun to get busy with their lives.
Qin Wei was welcomed by Liu Yuanrang and Ji Fei and arrived at Dusi Yamen.
"What is the current situation in Shuzhou City?" Qin Wei asked, sitting in the lobby of Dusi Yamen.
Liu Yuanrang replied: "Back to Your Highness, the situation is still not ideal. Although people's livelihood has recovered well, there are still many problems within the Sansi Yamen."
"Especially the Chief Secretary and the Inspectorate are basically paralyzed at the moment."
Regarding this, both Liu Yuanrang and Ji Fei had a headache.
Cheng Yu, the Chief Secretary of Shuzhou, also joined the rebellion like Tang Mingcheng. When the rebels surrendered in Shuzhou City, Cheng Yu was sold to Liu Yurangang by a small leader of the rebels, along with the Chief Secretary of Shuzhou.
Many officials have become rebellious.
The Ancha Envoy and other officials of the Ancha Division were killed by Tang Mingcheng and Cheng Yu.
Today, less than 30% of the senior officials in the entire Sansi Yamen are left.
"Did you go to court?" Qin Wei asked.
"It's already been played." Liu Yuan gave way.
Qin Wei nodded slightly. He could not intervene in the affairs of the officials of the Third Division, but he could take credit for the officers who participated in countering the rebellion.
"Then let's do this for now. You should be more careful these days."
"I obey my orders!"
After a brief chat, Qin Wei left Dusi Yamen and came to a separate courtyard.
Zuixin Pavilion!
An exquisite and gorgeous courtyard serves as the residence of Qin Wei in Shuzhou.
Looking at the wildly growing vegetation and colorful gardens in the courtyard, Qin Wei said thoughtfully: "When can Li Ru arrive?"
"Master Li set out from Xinning Mansion five days ago and is expected to arrive tomorrow and the day after tomorrow." Xiao Shunzi followed Qin Wei step by step and replied.
After the Shuzhou Rebellion ended, Li Ru no longer needed to guard Xinning City, so before Qin Wei arrived at Shuzhou City, he had already asked Li Ru to come to Shuzhou.
"Where's Di Renjie?"
"Master Di is still in Wudong Mansion in western Shu. There are still many remnants of the Holy Cult there, and the Zhenwu Division is encircling and suppressing them."
Qin Wei nodded, looking at a green and crystal flower swaying in the wind in the garden, and fell into deep thought.
Now the Shuzhou Rebellion is basically over, and he will stay in Shuzhou for nearly two years.
He needs to carefully plan what he should do in the next two years.
In fact, Qin Wei doesn't mind being in Shuzhou. For him, being in Shuzhou now is better than returning to Kyoto.
…
Southwest of Dali, Nanmu City.
Early morning.
The warm morning sun sheds its brilliance and illuminates the earth.
The towering Nanmu City Gate made a heavy and distant sound and slowly opened to both sides.
A carriage slowly drove out from the city, with dozens of impressive soldiers wearing armor guarding the carriage.
"Your Highness!"
Just as the carriage drove out of the city gate, an old man in green clothes chased after him on horseback.
The carriage stopped, the curtains opened, and a handsome face emerged from the car.
"Senior Ji, is there anything else?"
The handsome young man wore a purple gown and looked very noble.
"I have something to tell Your Highness!" The old man rode up to the carriage and said solemnly.
"Well! Senior, please tell me."
"When we return to Kyoto and pass through Shuzhou, we should keep a low profile," the old man said.
A smile appeared on the young man's face and he said: "Senior is reminding me not to provoke Prince Xin'an!"
"Your Highness can understand it this way," the old man said.
"Why?" The young man's face changed, and a pair of narrow eyes suddenly burst into a sinister light.
The old man was silent for a while and said: "The prince of Xin'an County is very powerful in Shuzhou, so it is best not to provoke him."
"snort!"
The young man snorted coldly and closed the car curtain directly.
"No matter how powerful he is, he is still my king's younger brother, and he should stand obediently in front of me."
"Set off!"
A cold voice came from inside the carriage, and the old man quietly watched the carriage leave.
After the carriage had gone far, the steady sound of horse hooves came from the city.
Splendid robe, white jade crown, a graceful phoenix in the middle of the body, the breeze blows slowly.
"Greetings to the young city lord!"
When the old man saw the visitor, he bowed his hands and saluted.
Lu Baifeng, the young lord of Nanmu City.
"How?" Lu Baifeng smiled softly, his handsome face showing elegance, calmness, and a bit of unspeakable aloofness.
The old man shook his head slightly, "Young City Master should understand your highness's character. He is not a person who listens to others' advice."
"It's just why the young city lord wants me to persuade him."
Lu Baifeng looked at the motorcade going away, the smile on his face getting a little brighter.
"I'm not asking you to persuade him, I'm asking you to provoke him."
"We need a pawn to test Prince Xin'an."
The old man's expression moved slightly, "But why should we test Prince Xin'an? He doesn't seem to have anything to do with us."
Nanmu City is located in the southern part of Yuanzhou. It is like a tail of Dali, extending outward for hundreds of miles from behind Dali's butt.
Mao Jiang caused rebellion in the three southwest states, but he never provoked Nanmu City because he did not dare.
Of course, Nanmu City will not care about him. For Nanmu City, they need to unite with Dali to fight against the southern barbarians, but they have never liked to interfere in Dali's internal affairs.
Even Mao Jiang was clearly separated from them, let alone Qin Wei, the king of Xin'an County.
Lu Baifeng held the reins, turned the horse's head, and walked towards the city.
"The whole Dali will be in chaos due to the general situation, how can we, Nanmu City, be immune to this situation alone."
"Just because there is no involvement now, doesn't mean there won't be any in the future."
"Pawns are of no value, so naturally they should be used as soon as possible."
"By the way, you clean up, we will enter Dali in three days!"
"With all the turmoil in the world, how can I, Lu Baifeng, be missing?"
