There were already many people hunting down Lu Yun, but after the rumor about the Qin Emperor's Sword came out, even more people joined the fight. They were determined to hunt down Lu Yun!
Although he was a general and a descendant of the Qin royal family and was protected by a large army, these fifth-rate masters were best at disguise and at sneaking into a secret place to kill someone.
They were not going against the army; they just wanted to kill one person, which was naturally a simpler task.
This time, not only the people in the martial arts world, but also some assassins, even some very famous masters in the martial arts world, or some old monsters have made some moves.
Lu Yun was still staying in the palace at this time. He was also in contact with Liang Jing. If she wanted to return here from the grassland, it would be no problem.
Liang Jing didn't want to come back in such a hurry. He thought it would be nice to continue strolling on the grassland. After all, the grassland was so vast.
Another thing is that the territory previously occupied by the three southwestern kingdoms has not yet been completely recovered, and it is still somewhat unstable now.
At this moment, Ye Jiajia walked in wearing a red dress and a high ponytail. She was holding a sword in her hand and sighed when she saw Lu Yun.
"Ever since you got into trouble, you haven't been able to stay in this hall properly. Now you feel particularly comfortable. No one opposes you, and no one dares to question you."
"What's wrong?"
"There's something I need to tell you. This is the story of the Jianghu Killing Order that has spread throughout the entire Eastern Continent. More importantly, many people have also spread the rumor."
"You... possess the Qin Emperor Sword. They say it's an extremely powerful divine weapon. With this weapon in hand, you'll truly become the best in the world."
"So many people are eager to take this sword from you."
"Huh?" Lu Yun was completely stunned at this moment. Hunting him down was fine. This was an order from the Emperor after all, but they also wanted to fight for the Qin Emperor Sword. Were these people crazy?
"Alright, alright. Since they want my sword, let them come! Let's see if they can take the sword from me."
"It's okay. They are all busy hunting us down now. Our most important goal is to take over the former Shu Kingdom and Miao Kingdom first."
"How about we leave some of the troops here to guard the pass, and the rest of you can attack with me!"
"Okay, no problem."
Ye Jiajia has followed Lu Yun in his battles and now has learned a lot of military tactics. She also likes this feeling. In her eyes, as long as she follows Lu Yun, she will be very happy.
Two days later, the army assembled and they chose to take the river route directly. This was not only fast, but they could also pass through the original territories of Shu and Miao through the river.
In fact, for the three southwestern kingdoms, the Miao Kingdom no longer exists, and only Shu Kingdom and Zhou Kingdom are left. They chose to join the Han Empire only because they were forced to do so.
Therefore, for the people living here, most of them do not want to be dependent on the Han Empire. Even if they are fighting under the banner of the Qin Empire this time, it is no big deal.
After all, Lu Yun was like a god of war in their minds, not to mention that he was a descendant of the Qin royal family. Just this identity and this big banner were enough to make him immediately recognized by the people.
The reason is very simple. After all, Lu Yun had made a great reputation among the three southwestern countries. In the minds of ordinary people like them, Lu Yun was the real god of war.
In the minds of these people, since the God of War is already going to attack, why should they fight? It would be better to just surrender!
In this way, they advanced all the way along the river, and no city chose to ambush them. What was more important was that they also passed by many small cities along the way, and these cities basically chose to surrender.
Some people choose to surrender without even fighting.
The main reason is that the former emperor of Shu Kingdom is still on the grassland and has a good relationship with Lu Yun. They all know that they are one and the same!
Soon their army arrived at the foot of Furong City and began to station ships outside Furong City, with about 20,000 troops!
Lu Yun knew clearly that among the three kingdoms in the southwest, the most important one was the Great Zhou! That was why the Han Empire had Bai Xiao as support at the Thousand Swords Pass.
In the capital, there is General Sun, who forms a powerful fortress, and other cities or small counties.
Basically, there are no generals from the Han Empire stationed there. They are just local garrisons and their strength is not very strong.
Even such an important city as Furong City, which was once the capital of their Shu Kingdom, only had a garrison of 20,000 troops, and most of these 20,000 troops were militia, with only more than 1,000 people at the beginning.
However, later on, because Lu Yun and his men were attacking the Great Zhou, they urgently recruited soldiers. This attracted a lot of militia, but they were definitely not a match for their regular army.
It was just to keep up appearances and prevent them from being too timid, so that their numbers would not be too different.
The general stationed in Furong City was also very clear that they would definitely not be able to win the battle. They originally wanted to surrender directly, but for the emperor, this was intolerable.
The emperor meant that the garrisons in various places must do everything they can to weaken Lu Yun's strength.
After all, everyone’s current thinking is that although Lu Yun is powerful, compared with the entire vast Han Empire, there is simply a world of difference.
They are fundamentally incomparable.
Lu Yun and his men stationed the army they sent this time twenty miles outside Furong City.
Seeing that she was so close to home, Chen Yuan'er was really excited. She was finally back and could return to the place where she once lived. She didn't know if the palace was still there?
"Be careful. I heard that things have been changing a lot in the martial arts world recently. We caught a few assassins a few days ago, but they were not very strong and were easily dealt with."
Chen Yuaner walked aside and spoke to him patiently.
"What are you afraid of? Don't worry about life or death. Just fight if you don't agree."
"No, I heard that I have many film and television masters in our Shu Kingdom, and they are all good at using hidden weapons."
"It doesn't matter." Lu Yun relied on his courage and looked nonchalant, which made Chen Yuan'er speechless.
"By the way, there aren't many people in Furong City. I think it won't take long for us to capture it."
"It seems that they don't attach much importance to Hibiscus City."
However, on that night, at midnight, when Lu Yun was holding Chen Yuan'er and sleeping soundly, he suddenly woke up with a start, not knowing why.
Every time he encounters danger, his body knows it before he does, which is amazing.
