Starting as a centurion, he fought his way through the chaos of the world.

Chapter 187 Going Further

At this moment, within the Tian Shu Sect, Daoist Tian Shu sat at the head of the table, his white beard almost touching the ground as it floated.

A ray of light flickered in his deep eyes.

"Notify the sects and dynasties near Dayu that their caravans are not allowed to leave Dayu. Anyone from Dayu who leaves their territory can be killed by anyone."

Remember, it's anyone.

"Tell the nearby sects that I know someone was going easy on us last time. If anyone dares to do the same again, don't blame the Heavenly Pivot Sect for taking action."

He intends to trap and kill the Great Yu.

In the Seven Star Domain, no one has ever dared to defy him, but Da Yu has repeatedly caused the Tian Shu Sect to lose face.

This was a great humiliation for Daoist Tian Shu.

Moreover, he would not allow Lu Ming to rise to prominence.

The other party has already moved to the opposite side.

Therefore, there is only one way out: death.

"Yes, sir!" the elder beside him replied respectfully.

Then he withdrew.

In a grand hall within the Tian Shu Sect, Tian Shu Daozi sat with a gloomy expression.

Liu Xuan cautiously said, "Why should Daozi get angry over Lu Ming? Even if he obtains the powerful true blood of a ferocious beast, he will only be trapped in this Seven Star Domain. He can't even leave the Great Yu now, while you are about to step into the Immortal Domain."

Once you go there, you will truly achieve great things.

He was merely a fleeting passerby in your long life.

"Slap!" Before Liu Xuan could finish speaking, Tian Shu Dao Zi slapped her across the face, instantly leaving five bloody marks on her smooth face.

This caused a look of fear to appear on the former's face.

Zi Ling, who was sitting to the side, said indifferently, "Do you, a mere concubine, have the right to speak here? Get out of here!"

His voice was indifferent.

"Yes, it was my fault. Please, Daozi and Madam, don't blame me." She said this.

Liu Xuan carefully retreated.

As she left.

Zi Ling looked at Tian Shu Dao Zi and continued calmly, "In my heart, you have always been calm and composed, but now your mind is in turmoil. It seems that Lu Ming has really put a lot of pressure on you."

“I don’t feel any pressure, I just dislike him,” Tian Shu Dao Zi said calmly.

Zi Ling didn't say anything more.

Meanwhile, all the major sects had received notification from Daoist Tian Shu.

They quite agree with this method.

Throughout the Seven Star Domain, everyone is diligently cultivating and improving their cultivation level. Only you, Da Yu, want to establish a human dynasty to restrict everyone.

Let's not even talk about the struggle for destiny.

Now that it's over, who else should we destroy if not you?

Besides, they suffered such a huge loss.

For a time, the Great Yu was almost universally hated.

Meanwhile, within the Lu family of the Immortal Realm, the Lu family's patriarch grinned as he looked at the envoy from the Human Emperor Peak before him.

"Among the disciples of my Lu family, is there anyone His Majesty is looking for?"

Lu Wu lost one of his front teeth in ancient times. Although his cultivation level is now quite high, for some reason, it cannot grow back, making it look rather comical.

Now, when he's all smiles, his dark, black mouth is showing.

This made the envoy somewhat impatient.

Looking at him, he said, "Lu Wu, don't you know your own situation? You only have your current family business because of His Majesty's protection. Is that not enough for you? Do you know who you are looking for this time?"

"You dare to even dream of that? No way!"

After speaking, the messenger drew a line on the notebook with his pen.

Then, he pursed his lips and left.

Lu Wu shook his head helplessly and said, "Sigh, how come there isn't one? There are so many disciples, yet not a single one."

After saying that, he glanced at the disciples surrounding him and said somewhat irritably, "Get out of here, you're all useless. Lu Hui, let me tell you, go back and apologize to your wife in a better manner."

If you upset her, just wait and see how I deal with you.

Lu Hui, standing to the side, replied with a wry smile, "Yes, Ancestor!"

The old man was the one who told him to ignore his wife and run back home, and now he's the one telling him to appease her.

It seems the Xuanhuang Sect still has a long way to go to curry favor with them.

After thinking about this, he left in a hurry.

This time when I go back, things will probably be even worse.

But there was nothing they could do; they couldn't afford to offend the stewards of the Xuanhuang Sect.

Meanwhile, inside Lu Ming's tent.

He looked at Yu Muyun sitting below.

He said slowly, "You've said such treasonous things again."

"I'm just asking you, don't lie, tell the truth," Yu Muyun said helplessly.

Lu Ming glanced at her and pondered for a moment, "There shouldn't be any problem. In fact, there are still many places in Dayu that can be developed. The population is sufficient and the territory is large enough. The reason why it couldn't develop in the past is..."

The main reason is that they are used to relying on sects and their own foundation is not strong enough.

"With reasonable reforms, there shouldn't be any problem if we want to make changes," Lu Ming said calmly.

In fact, the resources of the Great Yu are no less than those of the outer regions. There are spirit stone mines and various refining minerals within its territory, but it is unable to make use of them because it lacks the resources.

For example, weapon refiners; even within the imperial family of the Great Yu Dynasty, there don't seem to be many weapon refiners.

Upon hearing his reply, the Queen nodded.

A knowing look appeared in his eyes.

He then said, "You're right, our foundation is still too shallow."

Then, as if he had thought of something, he continued, "You must have some method to help your men improve so quickly. I see that your generals and soldiers receive pills on time every month."

Some of these elixirs are even unavailable to the imperial court.

As she spoke, her beautiful eyes were fixed on Lu Ming.

"Haha, I naturally have my own methods, but it's a secret and I can't tell you." Now that Lu Ming has the ability to protect himself, there's no need to hide anything, as long as others don't find out the real source.

This can actually increase one's mystique.

This makes people even more wary.

The Empress pouted and said, "You're so stingy! I wasn't even asking you!"

She knew this much about boundaries.

After all, which powerful person in this world doesn't have some secrets?

Lu Ming couldn't help but smile.

He was not averse to the woman in front of him.

Then, the Queen continued, "I'm in a good mood today, how about we have a few drinks together?"

After spending these days together, their relationship has become quite good.

Regardless of whether the Empress is in front of Lu Ming.

Both of them were very relaxed when facing Yu Muyun.

Otherwise, given the strength displayed by Lu Ming's subordinates today, and their heartfelt loyalty and awe towards him, it would be surprising.

How could the Queen possibly sleep?

“Okay.” Lu Ming didn’t stand on ceremony and immediately replied with a smile.

At the same time, he waved his hand, signaling Yu Muyun to sit closer to him.

Then, he called out to the outside, "Zhang Meng, bring some wine and food."

"I have some wine here, just bring some snacks to go with it."

Yu Muyun smiled and then took out a jar of wine.

Put it on the table.

When you open it, a rich aroma fills the air.

Lu Ming couldn't help but say, "Good wine."

After saying that, he filled both of their cups.

A moment later, Zhang Meng came in carrying a few side dishes.

Then, they carefully retreated.

At the same time, in the distance of the camp, the Second Ancestor and the Seventh Ancestor sat around a campfire.

Looking at Lu Ming's tent.

The former said with some concern, "Is there anything wrong with your wine? Don't let Lord Jiuding find out. With his strength, he can't hide anything from you." "How could that be? I traded a low-grade spiritual artifact for it. I haven't even had a few sips myself. Besides, it's not poison. If it were poisoned, of course we would be able to tell with our cultivation levels. But it's just wine, only meant to enhance the mood."

Yu Sanjian couldn't help but widen his eyes.

The Second Ancestor said helplessly, "This method is really not honorable."

"He and His Majesty are in love, what's dishonorable about it? They're just one step away from meeting. We only gave them a push. Besides, the Great Yu really can't wait any longer. After this battle, the blockade by the major sects will be more severe than ever before."

They want to break out of this predicament.

There must be a powerful emperor.

Lu Ming is the most suitable candidate.

However, it will probably be several years before they actually get to the point of discussing marriage.

Therefore, these are the only methods we have left.

For the sake of Dayu, nothing is inappropriate.

"Even if we sacrifice our lives, what difference will it make?" Yu Sanjian said with a rare seriousness.

After a moment of contemplation, the Second Patriarch nodded and said, "You're right. Those who achieve great things don't concern themselves with trifles."

And just as they were talking.

There seemed to be some movement inside the tent.

The two patriarchs of the Great Yu clan couldn't help but exchange a smile.

Then, they silently kept watch to prevent anyone from entering and disturbing their good time.

The night passed in the blink of an eye.

Early in the morning.

Looking at the beauty in front of him, Lu Ming's eyes revealed a hint of satisfaction.

I never imagined that drinking a little alcohol would make me lose control.

This wine seems to be something special.

They still fell into the trap set by the royal family.

However, he had nothing to complain about.

In the end, he developed feelings for the woman in front of him.

Otherwise, even if there was something wrong with the drink, this would never have happened.

Then, she said softly, "Now that you're awake, stop pretending. I'll marry you when we get back."

Yu Muyun couldn't help but lightly punch him. "Who's pretending? They just don't want to open their eyes."

Both of them were quite relaxed at this moment.

It wasn't as reserved as I had imagined.

Especially Yu Muyun, whose eyes couldn't hide the love in them at all.

Clearly, she genuinely liked Lu Ming.

"Alright, I still have to see His Majesty later. The recapture of the twenty-three prefectures is of utmost urgency. It is said that the resources here are quite abundant. It would be a real pity if the Great Xia took them."

Yu Muyun, who was standing to the side, helped him get up.

A moment later, Lu Ming was dressed and looked at the beauty in front of him, saying, "I'll be right back. You get some rest."

After saying that, he walked outside.

When only the Empress remained in the tent, the other party changed into a different set of clothes and put them on.

Yesterday's is obviously no longer usable.

A moment later, when Lu Minggang arrived outside the Empress's tent.

Then I saw that several elders of the Dayu clan had already arrived.

Especially the Seventh Patriarch, who was winking at him.

A helpless smile appeared on Lu Ming's lips.

All you can do is bow to the other person.

A moment later, the female official in blue came out and said cautiously, "His Majesty has invited the lords to go in."

Then, the clan elders and Lu Ming entered the tent.

"I have met His Majesty!"

"Rise, all of you!" the Empress's clear voice rang out.

At this moment, she was still holding a jade talisman in her hand, having just finished reading it.

It was given to her by Wei Zhong.

This caused Yu Muyun's initially good mood to turn somewhat low.

Then, he said calmly, "Wei Zhong, tell everyone the news you just received."

Wei Zhong, standing below, immediately replied, "Yes, Your Majesty!"

Then, he continued cautiously, "Generals, I have just received news that all the major sects have ordered a complete blockade of our Great Yu. Any of our merchant caravans that leave the territory of Great Yu will be destroyed."

No master of the Great Yu dares to appear in the outside world.

Everyone gets it and kills it!
Several sects in the vicinity that had been secretly helping also received warnings.

The voice rang out, filled with anger.

Several elders of the imperial clan also frowned slightly.

If that's really the case, it will be extremely difficult for the Great Yu Dynasty to develop.

Lu Ming raised an eyebrow and stepped forward, saying, "Your Majesty, I believe that this is not the most important thing right now, and we cannot change anything. The most important thing now is to immediately send troops to the twenty-three prefectures."

Based on my understanding...

Lin Xiao can currently mobilize the army, which numbers only 300,000.

As long as a few elders accompany the army on the expedition, they can hold off the powerful experts from the Great Xia.

Our army can recover the lost territory in a short time.

After he finished speaking, everyone in the hall fell silent.

After a moment, the Empress said, "What the Duke of Jiuding says is true. So, what are your plans?"

"With Wu Han as commander and Zhang Mu as vanguard, leading a million elite troops from the southern frontier, we will sweep across the land with overwhelming force."

The Grand Tutor and General Yu Kun led the Imperial Guards to follow behind and were responsible for taking over the city and restoring order to the region.

Moreover, a group of officials need to be transferred from the capital.

To restore life to these twenty-three states as quickly as possible.

To replenish the power of humanity and reignite the flames of humanity.

Lu Ming's words made the surrounding clan elders nod in agreement.

Now is definitely not the time to worry about lockdowns.

Now, the most important thing is to recover lost territory. As long as we replenish the humanitarian power of Dayu, at least in the short term, everyone will have the ability to protect themselves.

Even a Dao Lord cannot enter.

Without further ado, the Empress immediately said, "Then let's do as Lord Jiuding says."

Then, he cleared his throat and said, "In this battle, Lord Jiuding has made great contributions to our Great Yu. He is hereby conferred the title of First-Class Lord Jiuding, and Wu Han is hereby conferred the title of Fourth-Rank General of the Northern Expedition!"

Zhang Mu was a fourth-rank official serving as a vanguard in the campaign against rebellion.

Su Lie was a fourth-rank official and General Who Guards the North.

"

The Empress bestowed titles upon almost all of Lu Ming's officials.

Clearly, the imperial decree was already prepared yesterday.

Then he continued, "The northern expedition was hasty, and I have nothing else with me. I will make up for the other rewards after I return to the capital!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Lu Ming immediately stepped forward and said.

Outside the tent, eunuchs were carrying imperial edicts to Lu Ming's camp to deliver them.

"Lord Jiuding, please don't stand on ceremony. Order the army to set out as soon as possible."

Come to my tent tonight; I have something to discuss with you!

The Empress's calm voice rang out.

Lu Ming was puzzled, wondering what the other party wanted to do by contacting him that night.

Then, she thought of Yu Muyun. Could it be that he wanted to discuss her marriage with him?
After all, Yu Muyun was a member of the imperial family.

Moreover, she seems to be the legitimate daughter of the emperor. You know, not just anyone can ask Li Yan to be their teacher.

However, he didn't dwell on it any longer and stepped forward, saying, "Yes, Your Majesty!"

Then, he left the tent with everyone else.

When only the Queen remained, the other party clenched his fists. It was finally time to lay his cards on the table, and she was a little nervous.
