Chapter 732: Lu Hongji's Purpose
Fengyuan City.
In a small courtyard that had been abandoned during the war, Wei Changtian soon received a reply from Du Chang.
He shook his head and put away the mother and child jade. He was not that surprised by the result.
After all, no matter what, the Eclipse Pearl was given to Yang Liushi by the little fox.
And if it weren't for the Eclipse Pearl, the latter would have died an hour ago.
Thinking about it this way, this matter seemed like a trick of fate from beginning to end.
If the little fox hadn’t given her the treasure, Yang Liushi wouldn’t have gone to the seventh demon land.
If she hadn't gone to Bailing Mountain, Su Xiu would not have died, and there would be no talk of revenge afterwards.
Everything started because of the Eclipse Pearl and ended because of the Eclipse Pearl.
As for the mixed feelings of love and hate, let’s wait until we meet Yang Liushi to find out.
Anyway, as far as Wei Changtian is concerned, he respects Yang Liushi's choice, but he will never be the godfather of that little fox.
He would not even allow the little fox to stay with Yang Liushi for a long time.
You can choose not to kill her.
But at least send it away.
Otherwise, if he kept this "time bomb", Wei Changtian always felt that some trouble would happen one day. "Mr. Tang, please go check this yard."
Concentrating his mind and not thinking about it anymore, Wei Changtian looked up and said to Tang Chen: "This place is not far from the city wall. We will stay here for the next few days. It will be more convenient for us to do things."
"Okay, I'll go right away."
On the opposite side, Tang Chen nodded and quickly walked away, starting to carefully check each room one by one.
At this time, Wei Changtian casually walked into a side room and looked at the layout of the house in the moonlight.
In the corner there was a simple wooden bed, surrounded by plain curtains. On the other side of the wall there was a window, with the window paper still intact.
The room was clean and tidy, and not messy. The mud bricks on the floor were of the most common style.
From this perspective, although the family who previously lived in this yard were not rich, their living conditions were pretty good.
To borrow a word from the previous life, that is the "moderately well-off" level.
"Squeak"
Casualy opening a cupboard door and taking a look at the neatly arranged bedding and clothes inside, Wei Changtian realized that this family must have fled before the war broke out.
He had no interest in prying into other people's privacy, so he closed the cabinet door, walked to the window, and looked out.
The huge shadow of Buddha is still there in the night sky, and flames are still burning on the distant city walls.
But all those chaotic sounds disappeared.
It was obvious that the Tianfo Formation had indeed protected Fengyuan City, allowing the soldiers and civilians in the city to breathe a sigh of relief.
The Qianhui coalition forces outside the city probably haven't figured out any way to break the formation yet, and should have retreated by now.
As for when they will make a comeback, it's hard to say.
But in Wei Changtian's opinion, the "three days" mentioned by Xu Suisui might be too optimistic.
After all, many people in the Buddhist sect have defected to the Qianhui Kingdom, so the latter would naturally know the weaknesses of this "Heavenly Buddha Formation".
In addition, the national strength of Daqian and Dahui is not weak. Daqian is even stronger than Daning at its peak. With such strength, how could they not have some other means?
Therefore, perhaps all that the Heavenly Buddha Formation can do is to allow Fengyuan City to "catch its breath." "Mr. Tang, how is it?"
Hearing the sound of the door opening behind him, Wei Changtian did not turn around, but just looked at the scenery outside the window and asked casually: "Is there anything unusual in this yard?"
"Sir, I checked carefully and there is nothing abnormal."
The door was pushed open, and Tang Chen, who had returned, replied in a deep voice: "The owner of this house must have fled the city early to avoid the war."
"Okay, then we'll borrow his house for a few days."
Wei Changtian nodded and turned to look at Tang Chen: "Mr. Tang, there is one more thing I would like you to do."
"Sir, please speak."
"Well, please sneak back to the palace now and find someone named Shen Ran."
Wei Changtian narrowed his eyes and said, "Give him a message, tell him I'm here, and ask him to come and see me quietly tomorrow morning."
"If he doesn't believe, call out the tapir, and he can see it too."
“.”
He can see it too.
Upon hearing these words, Tang Chen's eyes suddenly widened, and the name "Shen Ran" was instantly remembered in his mind.
"Yes, sir, I will definitely pass on your message."
"Um"
Soon, Wei Changtian gave a general description of Shen Ran's appearance to Tang Chen, and then watched the latter hurriedly leave the courtyard.
Not long after Tang Chen left, Wei Changtian took out a set of clothes belonging to the male owner of the house from the closet and put them on, and even tore a piece of black cloth to cover his face.
After doing all this, he looked at the shadow of Tathagata above his head again, then walked out of the yard and headed towards the city wall not far away at a moderate pace.
“Boom!!!”
On the other side, Dahui and Kuilong Bing were at a branch helm.
Just as Wei Changtian was heading towards the Fengyuan city wall, the huge iron gate hidden in the valley slowly closed with a sound.
A quarter of an hour later, the carriage that had been parked at the foot of the hill started moving again, heading east quickly along the same path.
Lu Hongji and Chu Xianping were still sitting in the carriage.
However, compared to when we came here, the atmosphere in the car was obviously different.
"Captain Lu, you should already be aware of the disadvantages of the Moon-piercing Sword."
Looking at the words "calm down" hanging on the wall of the car, Chu Xianping said calmly: "Otherwise you wouldn't give up this opportunity to break through."
"Hahaha! Brother Xianping is really amazing, he guessed it right at the first try!"
Laughing loudly, Lu Hongji admitted cheerfully, "Yes, I do know how powerful the inner demon of the Moon-Picking Sword is. The more you practice this sword technique, the easier it is to lose your true self. I'm afraid that the moment you reach perfection, you will be completely devoured by the inner demon."
"If that's the case, then why do you still let your men practice this sword technique?"
Chu Xianping glanced at Lu Hongji, his expression unchanged: "If they really master it by then, how will you control these people?"
"Captain Lu, power that is not under control is not power."
“.”
From "Your Majesty" to "Captain Lu", Chu Xianping no longer had any respect towards Lu Hongji and spoke to him as if they were equals.
Not only did Lu Hongji not mind this, he even seemed to think that this was normal.
"Brother Xianping, I didn't force them to practice swordplay."
Shaking his head, Lu Hongji said with a smile: "They are different from me. They are also responsible for the job of being the emperor of a country. They are all crazy people who only know how to practice."
"Who do you think can resist the temptation of the first rank?"
"Alas, I would like to persuade him, but how can I persuade him?"
Sighing, although Lu Hongji sighed, his expression was always relaxed.
When Chu Xianping saw him like this, he immediately exposed his true intention.
"Captain Lu, what you said is not right."
"They can't resist the temptation of breaking through, but you don't have to tell them about this."
"In the final analysis, you just want to take advantage of these people."
"As for what you want to do, I'm afraid that the captain's real intention in sending troops to Xinfeng this time is not the bar."
“.”
“Ding!”
The wheels must have run over a small dent, causing the carriage to shake slightly.
"Oh? I wonder why Brother Xianping said that?"
Lu Hongji's pupils shrank, and the smile on his face became meaningful for the first time.
On the contrary, Chu Xianping's expression gradually relaxed at this moment.
"It's very simple why you say that."
"There are very few people in the world who have practiced the Moon-Picking Sword, and among them, the most eye-catching is Qin Zhengqiu, the leader of the Tianluo Sect."
"There are even many rumors in the martial arts world that Qin Zhengqiu has already entered the first rank."
"Of course, regardless of whether he has broken through the first rank or not, he is at least several times stronger than an ordinary second rank warrior."
"More importantly, Qin Zhengqiu has not yet been possessed by the devil."
"Captain Lu, you and I both know what this means."
"And isn't this the purpose of your sending troops to Xinfeng?"
