Chapter 151: The Prince in White, the Marquis of Murong
Gu Cheng has always felt a little baffled by the fact that Lu Hongyuan appeared in Nanyi County and suddenly took control of Sanmuzhai.
One is a direct disciple of a great family in Leping County, and the other is a low-level bandit. How did these two people get together?
It would be wrong to say that Lu Hongyuan was expelled from the family.
For disciples from such a wealthy family, the family itself is the most powerful deterrent to them. Just because he knew how to use the power of the Lu family to threaten Gu Cheng, he knew that he was still a disciple of the Lu family, and
There was no falling out with the family.
Gu Cheng asked Chen Danggui to bring Zhu Sankui over and said calmly: "Tell me, what is going on with Lu Hongyuan? Why do you hang out with bandits like you?"
Zhu Sankui said cautiously: "I told you, Mr. Gu, can you let me go?"
Gu Cheng smiled half-heartedly and said: "You are now a prisoner, do you think you are still qualified to negotiate terms with me?
I'm Daozu, and you are the piece of pork belly on the cutting board. If you don't want to be chopped off and made into braised pork, then just be obedient and agree to the terms. Do you still dare to negotiate terms?"
Zhu Sankui ignored Gu Cheng's strange metaphor. He looked gloomy and said helplessly: "Master Gu, it's really not me who wants to mobilize the army to make an enemy of you, but Lu Hongyuan who wants to do it.
Lu Hongyuan came to my village before and directly revealed his identity as a member of the Lu family, wanting me to be used by him.
Although I am a reckless person and know how powerful the Lu family is, it is impossible for the other party to just bring in a disciple and make me surrender, right?
So I had a bet with him, but I lost, and he also offered extremely generous terms, so I surrendered to his command."
"Oh? What conditions did he offer?"
"Establish a sect, open a sect and establish a sect!"
Zhu Sankui smiled bitterly and said: "Those of us bandits who have had one meal and then another can't resist this temptation, so I agreed.
And judging from his tone, it seems that the other party has a big plan, and they also want to unite all the bandits who did not choose to join Fang Zhenhai's command to do some big things, etc.
But I don’t know the specifics. Although I choose to surrender, Lu Hongyuan will not tell the truth to me."
Gu Cheng frowned, did Lu Hongyuan want to interfere in the martial arts world of Nanyi County?
If he was born in Cao Mang, that would be fine, but the other party is from the Lu family in Leping. Does the Lu family have any intention of getting involved?
Zhu Sankui on the side looked at Gu Cheng with expectant eyes: "Master Gu, can you let me go now?"
Gu Cheng lowered his head and said softly: "To be honest, I wanted to let you go, but I couldn't let you go this time.
You are considered a veteran among the bandits in Nanyi County and have many connections. Now that I have destroyed your stronghold but let you go, will you cause trouble for me in the future?
And this time you seriously injured my confidants and killed dozens of my subordinates. All of this needs to be accounted for.
Originally, I wanted to ask Lu Hongyuan for this explanation, but who let this guy escape?
So this explanation can only fall on you."
With that said, Gu Cheng looked at Chen Danggui: "Let's send Mr. Zhu on his way."
Zhu Sankui was stunned for a moment, then struggled and cursed: "Gu Cheng! If you don't keep your word, you will die a good death!"
"Pfft."
There was a soft sound, and Chen Danggui's knife had stabbed him through.
Gu Cheng said calmly: "Search the entire Sanmuzhai, select half of the items and divide them among the dead soldiers."
After settling these matters, Gu Cheng was ready to find out what was going on with the Lu family.
If the Lu family had any plans for Nanyi County, then I would probably have a headache for a while.
Not long after Gu Cheng and others returned, a large ship was slowly sailing towards the area of Nanyi County on the Qulan River.
It was a huge three-story building. The pavilions on the hull were decorated with carved beams and paintings. Its beauty was not inferior to those famous buildings in the outside world.
At this time, on the third floor, many people were drinking, chatting, and enjoying singing and dancing.
These people are all young, almost all in their twenties and thirties. They all have extraordinary demeanor and can even be called young heroes.
The most outstanding one among them is a young man in white sitting at the far north.
The young man was probably in his twenties, handsome, with pointed eyebrows and starry eyes, and elegant temperament.
He was wearing a white brocade robe without any patterns, his shoes and fan were all white, and he had a white jade crown on his head, as if no other color could be found in his body.
Everyone around him was also focused on the young man, and they would compliment each other from time to time.
Among these people, a young man in his early thirties, wearing golden light armor and with bulging muscles all over his body, drank all the rice wine in his cup and hummed: "What on earth is that guy Lu Hongyuan doing? He broke away from us and went ahead.
To include some kind of copycat, you are really out of your mind.
What can those low-level bandits become? Does he still want to imitate Fang Zhenhai and gather a group of bandits to start an uprising? "
Everyone present burst out laughing. It was obvious that Lu Hongyuan's status among them was not high.
At this time, the young man in white suddenly said: "I asked him to do this."
Everyone present was stunned: "Mr. Murong, did you ask him to go?"
It can be said that everyone present respected and feared this being in front of them.
Not only because the other party came from the Murong family, one of the seven aristocratic families that dominated the entire Leping County, but also because of this person.
The heir to the Murong clan in Leping, the 'Prince in White' Murong Hou, this name is famous throughout the world.
Murong Hou is called the Prince in White, not because he is a relative of the emperor, but because the Murong family was granted the title of king by a certain dynasty and guarded the southern border long before the founding of Daqian.
At that time, the area around the Shiwan Mountains of the Southern Barbarians had not yet been developed, and even Nanjiu County did not exist yet. Monsters and barbarians, and all kinds of strange and strange beings emerged in an endless stream. Even the imperial court could not suppress them and could only grant the Murong clan a title.
King, befriend him for generations and let him guard the southern border.
Therefore, although the Murong family is only an aristocratic family now, this 'king' has a history older than Daqian.
In addition, Murong Hou is already the recognized heir of the Murong family, so it is reasonable to be called the crown prince at this time.
In fact, people like the Murong family, who are at the forefront of the seven aristocratic families and are famous in the world, rarely choose their heirs so early.
The reason is very simple, because they have so many outstanding characters that you don’t know which disciple will rise when, so most of the successor positions have to be competed for until the previous head of the family is ready to give up the throne.
But this situation will not happen with the Murong family in this generation, because Murong Hou is so outstanding that he is even outstanding among his disciples of the same generation, and they are not even qualified to compete with him as the successor.
Among the children of the previous head of the family, Murong Hou was not born to the eldest son, but to a concubine who was not taken seriously. Therefore, he did not show much talent when he was young, and he has always been a stable member of the family.
Internal practice.
Until he was eighteen years old, according to Murong's practice, he would give part of the family's business to his disciples to manage and train their abilities.
Because Murong Hou was not taken seriously, he was assigned to the southern barbarian border to deal with the barbarians who were mining for the Murong family.
This can be said to be the most difficult, tiring and problem-prone place. After all, the barbarians are rude and barbaric and often make trouble. There are also some barbarian tribes in the deepest part of Shiwanda Mountain that do not listen to Murong's orders and often plunder Murong.
's caravan.
The people of the Murong clan who went to such a place thought that the other party would annihilate everyone, but in the end, Murong Hou was like a dragon entering the sea, soaring into the sky.
Murong Hou relied on his own efforts to quell the barbarian rebellion in three months. In the end, he used barbarism to control barbarians, allowing the barbarians to attack each other, pushing the Murong family's sphere of influence all the way to the depths of the Southern Barbarians' Hundred Thousand Mountains.
In no man's land.
He was even called the most distinguished guest by several barbarian tribes. Even if the head of the Murong clan came to the southern barbarian land, his words were not as effective as those of Marquis Murong.
It is said that Murong Hou also received a inheritance from the ancient Qi refiners in the southern barbarian land. In conjunction with his Murong family's martial arts inheritance, he practiced both martial arts and Qi refinement, and reached the sixth level and sixth realm in three years.
After returning to the Murong family, he swept away the invincible younger generation of the Murong family and led the family to conquer cities and territories. His achievements were even greater than those of the deacons and elders in the family.
While other younger generations of warriors are still fighting for it within the family, this one can already represent part of the Murong clan's will in the fight outside. This gap is not ordinary.
Just now they laughed at Lu Hongyuan because he was out of his mind for going to collect the bandits, but now they heard that it was Murong Hou who came up with this idea for him, and they immediately fell silent.
No one would think that Murong Hou had water in his head, unless he deliberately tricked Lu Hongyuan.
The young man wearing golden light armor before asked in confusion: "Brother Murong, what do you mean by asking Lu Hongyuan to do this?"
Murong Hou picked up the wine glass. What was strange was that the wine in the wine glass began to rotate automatically, very fast, like a small whirlpool.
"It's not interesting, just an experiment.
As expected, that guy Fang Zhenhai was really unattractive and died even faster than our elders expected.
There are a lot of vacancies in the power of Nanyi County, so the elders of your master families sent you to Nanyi County for training.
Isn't it great to become a development force and occupy a position? It can also allow you to accumulate experience.
However, the martial arts forces in Nanyi County are still here, so it would be inappropriate for us to rush into them so recklessly.
Don't underestimate those low-level bandits. Fang Zhenhai also came from a bandit background, and he can still take over a county.
Although the Cao Mang trend has not become a phenomenon, it has developed very quickly.
Lu Hongyuan was not taken too seriously by the Lu family, and he came with great ambition this time, wanting to make something of his career.
He gave me a Fire Jade Guanyin, so I came up with this idea for him. If he could do it, he might really be able to cultivate a smaller Fang Zhenhai.
Of course we don’t need anti-thief, all we need is a dog under the banner of anti-thief!”
