Chapter 39: The words of an old friend, the tree wants to be quiet [The altar is majestic, deep and solemn. ] 【The grand ceremony was symphonic and solemn. 】 [The emperor's pious face was reflected in the lingering smoke, and the incense was spread to heaven and earth. ] [I pray for favorable weather, peace and prosperity for the country and a long-lasting national prosperity. 】 【All officials kowtow!】 [You stand under the altar, looking up at the wisps of smoke rising straight up into the sky, drifting away to an unknown destination, and your heart is slightly lost in thought.] [A voice sounded, and you came back to your senses. ] [“Young Master, it’s been a long time since we last met. How are you?”] [The voice is rough and full of emotion.] [You turned around and saw a man in plain clothes among the four countries' envoys. Although he stood quietly behind the crowd, his hidden majesty was hard to conceal.]
[Only a person in a high position of power can develop such temperament. 】 [But he is also an acquaintance. 】 [This person was the envoy who came to Beifeng to seek peace in the past, and he was also Tuoba Shuyi’s eldest son—Tuoba Hongyan.] [You narrowed your eyes slightly and looked at the prince.] [Although he appeared calm on the surface, he couldn't help but think of the great reputation of the Lu family army in the past, and his heart trembled. ] [For four years, Bei Feng was indeed frightened by the continuous war.] [In the past, there were several wars that were not against the Lu family army. Although victory was in sight, when the other side raised the Lu family army flag, the morale of our soldiers collapsed again and again, and we were ultimately defeated.] [Bei Feng was really scared by the Lu family army, scared to the core.] [From then on, the Lu family’s military flags were hung all over the North.] [Tuoba Hongyan has been with his father in the north and south since he was a child. He is familiar with you. He looks at you with more fear and says quickly: "I came with the North Wind Mission and have already reported to your emperor!"] [“The two countries are already allies. Young Master, please don’t ruin the harmonious relationship between the two countries!”] [You narrowed your eyes and smiled, then remained silent.] [Tuoba Hongyan felt a little regretful. He shouldn't have provoked you. This was his father's request for him to do so.] [His father, Tuoba Shuyi, was once the person closest to the Beifeng throne, but because of Lu Chen's sudden appearance, he failed at the last moment.] [In that battle, Lu Chen crushed 800,000 Beifeng cavalry with the force of thunder and lightning, and marched towards Huanglongfu.] [The pro-war faction in the court was in a state of collapse, and finally the pro-peace third prince ascended to the throne. Only after an imperial edict ordering peace did they withdraw their troops.] [That battle crushed my father's ambitions. After that, he locked himself in his room all day, looking at the map of the Northland, trying to find the real winner. He reviewed and deduced again and again, but no matter how he tried, there was only a dead end.] [Because the man who played chess with him in the north was as good at using troops to control people as a ghost!] 【How can a man defeat God?】
[In the past, when Lu Shenzhou retired to Mount Zhongnan, at that moment, the royal family and generals of the North seemed to have unloaded a heavy burden. ] [Everyone said: "Daqing's move is like letting a tiger return to the mountains."] [At this moment, Tuoba Hongyan was feeling anxious, but he had to bite the bullet and said, "Young Master, my father has something to tell you."] [You are curious about what Tuoba Shuyi has to say. ] [“Father said that if you can survive from Mount Zhongnan, he will fight you again.”] [“He swears to defeat you once in his life, otherwise he will die with regret.”] [There is another sentence after that, which Tuoba Hongyan really doesn’t dare to say!] 【But thinking of my father's majestic face, I hardened my heart and said.】 [“However, if you, the young master, cannot make it down Mount Zhongnan alive, he will personally lead his cavalry to crush all nine members of your Lu family and dig up the Lu family’s ancestral graves to comfort your soul in heaven.”] [When you heard this, there was no ripple on your face.] 【My heart was moved. 】 [As you know, four years ago, the Third Prince of Beifeng ascended to the throne in that competition.] [The first thing he did after ascending the throne was to place Tuoba Shuyi, his former rival, under house arrest in the clan residence.] [The second thing is to marry the war-loving and tough northern princess to Daqing to become a tool for the marriage between the two countries.] [With drastic measures, Beifeng has already changed its team. ] [Logically speaking, given Tuoba Hongyan's current status, he should have been a prisoner long ago, and it is impossible for him to be here.] [I also bring you a sentence of "a showdown."] [There is only one possibility!] [Unless the north wind changes!] [This Sixth Prince Tuoba Shu Yizhong holds great power. 】 [Tuoba Shuyi is no ordinary person. He had already swept across the world before you met him.] [If it weren't for Zhan's crime, he would have already become the Lord of the North Wind. ] [As for the previous sentence, can’t you leave Zhongnan Mountain?] [You are still thinking in your heart!] [Praying for blessings at Mount Zhongnan, the 20,000 imperial guards that Daqing has detained here are all carefully selected soldiers, and they are very powerful.] [And the master of Ma Bao's palace, as well as many other generals, are the best among martial arts masters, and some of them are at the grandmaster level.] [With such tight defense, who could have done such an amazing thing in Zhongnan Mountain? ] 【Kill this Daqing Shaobao. 】 [Who can kill you now with such defense?]
【Moreover, the other party was very sure of what he said.】 [Among them, there is no lack of reminders. ] [You suddenly thought, could it be that someone above the Grand Master level has come to Mount Zhongnan?] [Lu Yu sneered: "Who in the world dares to hurt my brother?"] [Tuoba Hongyan said no more, quietly retreated, and disappeared into the crowd. ] [Lu Yu looks at you, waiting for your decision. ] [You will naturally understand Lu Yu's intention. You will know once you capture this person and ask him.] [You already have a plan in mind.] [Although Tuoba Hongyan's reminder is only a few words, you can get a glimpse of the clues from it. ] [However, you can see that this person may only know the tip of the iceberg and does not know the real situation. It would be futile to catch him and it would be easy to alert the enemy.] [So, you smiled calmly and said softly: "It's okay, let him be."] [You look at the altar calmly. You have a premonition that something earth-shattering will happen today.] [I couldn't help but feel a little depressed. ] [Tuoba Shuyi specially sent his son to remind you!] 【Something unexpected may happen in Zhongnan Mountain.】 [Except for Bei Feng's envoys, you have had very little dealings with the other three countries.] 【However, several of them are quite interested in you. 】 【Especially the Qianyuan delegation.】 [Qianyuan is the most powerful among all the countries, but every time the imperial power changes, the struggle is the most intense. 】 [Now, Qianyuan has been in civil strife for ten years, but the winner is still unknown. Several princes and princesses are fighting for the throne, and the world is in chaos. ] [Moreover, the most famous person in Qianyuan in recent years is still a woman, the Sixth Princess of Qianyuan. She leads 100,000 soldiers and often appears in battle with ghost faces.] [Although there were covetous intentions among the various countries, they all tacitly agreed not to act rashly. ] [They knew very well that once outside forces intervened, Qianyuan's civil unrest would quickly subside, and such a result was not what they wanted.] [Therefore, they hope that Qianyuan will be as chaotic as possible, so that they can gain more benefits from it.] [Several members of the Qianyuan delegation were very fond of you and wanted to talk to you, but you avoided them to avoid suspicion.] [Since you want to stay away from the court, you should avoid unnecessary interactions and suspicions.] 【Time passes.】 [The second group of people entering the mountain is here!]
[Royal relatives, concubines in the six courtyards of the deep palace, and the families of officials gradually went up the mountain. ] [You look up at the sky, it is high and the clouds are vast. ] [The tree wants to be still but the wind does not stop!] [Lu Yu laughed and said: "The wind is strong and the sky is high, it is the right time to kill people!"] [You just smiled.] (End of this chapter)
