Guarding the border: I am sanctified in the flesh

Chapter 151 The Hero Triumphs, Everyone Welcomes

Lu Fan rushed out of the west city gate, only to see the powerful men of Da Zhou and Xia Guo start a big battle outside the city.

There are more than a dozen people on each side, not only the number of strong people is equal, but also the strength is almost the same.

Compared with the other two city gates, the west city gate is the place where the powerful people of the Great Zhou should focus on guarding against.

Coupled with Li Yunting's timely support, the number of strong men in the Great Zhou Dynasty did not suffer at all.

Even had a slight upper hand.

The one who fought against Li Yunting was an old man.

Both of them use swords, and their strengths are evenly matched.

Lu Fan shot an arrow at the old man from a distance.

"Shhhhhh!"

After shooting three arrows in a row, Lu Fan retracted the cloud-piercing bow, took down the cold iron gun, and flew up into the air, following the three arrows, and flew towards the old man.

Catch the thief first to catch the king.

If you want to kill, kill the strongest.

Those who can match Li Yunting's strength are obviously innate eight realms.

Hearing the sound of piercing through the air, the old man's heart trembled, and he tried to dodge the incoming arrows, but was shocked to find that he couldn't dodge.

In desperation, he could only continue to slash with his sword.

"Oh!"

"Oh!"

"Oh!"

Three arrows were chopped into pieces in succession.

Before he could catch his breath, Li Yunting's sword arrived again.

He could barely swing the sword.

"boom!"

There was a loud noise and violent force impact, and he flew upside down in an instant.

At the same time, there was a tightness in the chest.

He knew that he had cut several arrows in succession just now, and he fought hard with Li Yunting just now, so it was too late for him to adjust his breath.

Not only did it consume a lot, but it also suffered a little internal injury.

What made him feel even more palpitation was the appearance of Lu Fan.

From Lu Fan's clothes alone, he could guess who the other party was.

But he never thought that Lu Fan's strength could be so strong.

In the air, before he could stabilize his body, he saw Lu Fan rushing towards him, and the black iron gun stabbed straight at him.

It doesn't look fast, but it's there in an instant.

With all his might, he slashed out with a sword.

With a clang, the sword slashed on the black gun shaft, but it couldn't be delayed for a moment.

Instead, he was hit by a huge force, and the long sword came out of his hand.

"puff!"

The black spear pierced through the heart, and blood sprinkled in the air.

Then he fell hard to the ground.

Seeing this scene, the remaining strong men of the Xia Kingdom no longer dared to fight, and fled in all directions.

Lu Fan put away the cold iron spear and chased after it.

"Chase!"

Li Yunting followed closely behind, leaped to the enemy camp, and swung the long sword in his hand lightly.

Immediately hundreds of enemy soldiers were killed.

Other great Zhou powerhouses followed suit one after another, constantly harvesting lives while chasing the enemy.

The enemy army is in chaos.

Not long after, the strong men who came to support from the North City Gate also joined the battle.

"Boom!"

There was a thunderous sound of hooves.

Tens of thousands of Dazhou cavalry rushed out from the west gate and rushed towards the enemy.

The army was defeated like a mountain.

The enemy soldiers only cared about running for their lives, and didn't even dare to turn around, let alone fight back.

Wei Jun was on his way to escape.

"Report!"

The messenger came to Wei Lingtian on horseback, "General Wei, there is an ambush by the Zhou army ahead, and our side suffered heavy casualties."

"what?"

Wei Lingtian was shocked, he never expected that there would be Da Zhou's ambushes in front of him, and the Da Wei army, which was already badly damaged, suffered another heavy blow.

Before he had time to think about it, he shouted loudly: "Pass my order, let the Tiger Guards battalion contain the Zhou army, and the other teams pass through as quickly as possible."

"Yes."

The orderly led the way.

At this time, Lu Fan had killed several strong men of the Xia Kingdom, and came all the way to the North City Gate, but Liu Qingyang and Taoist Xuanji had long since disappeared.

He chased forward for a while, and caught up with the Da Zhou cavalry.

Lu Fan simply followed the army forward to chase and kill.

Quickly coming to the front of the team, he found a war horse, flew on the horse, and rushed to the front.

"kill!"

The battle lasted until the afternoon, and the Great Zhou army chased and killed hundreds of miles before withdrawing.

The corpses are all over the place, and the blood flows into rivers!
The enemy army killed was frightened and panicked.

As the evening approached, the Great Zhou army returned to the capital.

Under everyone's humility, Lu Fan rode in the front.

Ten miles away from the North City Gate, he saw a black crowd.

The people in the capital are all excited at this moment, and they go out of the city to welcome the triumphant heroes.

From ten miles outside the city, it continues into the city.

There were people standing on both sides of the road.

Men and women of all ages.

"It's Lu Fan!"

"General Lu!"

The people recognized Lu Fan and waved to him from afar.

"Thanks to General Lu, the capital can be defended."

"It's not just the capital city? If there is no General Lu, the whole Zhou Dynasty will be over."

"That's right, it can be said that General Lu saved Da Zhou and us by himself."

"He is the patron saint of our Great Zhou!"

People talked a lot and were full of praise for Lu Fan.

When the elderly people heard these words, they felt a little familiar.

When Lu Fan approached and saw that face, he felt even more familiar.

However, the boy in front of him is General Lu.

And that boy many years ago was General Wei.

This situation gradually overlapped with the memory of many years ago.

The two black-armored teenagers are somewhat alike in appearance, figure, and temperament.

Even the slight sadness in the eyes is exactly the same.

Why don't you laugh?

Shouldn't you be happy after winning a big battle?

Hearing the cheers in his ears, Lu Fan completely relaxed after the battle.

He suddenly felt tired.

tired.

Tired heart.

In the past year, he has fought countless battles and killed countless enemies.

But at the same time, countless comrades-in-arms have been lost.

How can he be happy?
The war was not what he wanted, and the reason why he took action was because he was forced to do so.

He had had enough of this kind of life long ago, and he never wanted to participate in any wars in the future.

Fortunately all is over.

From now on, no foreign enemy dares to invade Dazhou again, and the people can finally live a stable life for a few days.

And he can practice with peace of mind.

Then think about what to do next.

Lu Fan walked while thinking, and soon saw the North City Gate, and saw a group of people waiting at the gate.

With his eyesight, he could clearly see that the two people in front were Liu Zeming and Lin Fuzhou.

Both of them were followed by a group of people.

Behind Liu Zeming are the patriarchs of the major families, while behind Lin Fuzhou is a senior court official.

These two people represent the strongest forces of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the imperial court and the aristocratic family.

Seeing Lu Fan approaching, Liu Zeming and Lin Fuzhou greeted him with everyone behind him.

"General Lu, you have worked hard!"

"Thanks to General Lu's bravery and invincibility, he turned the tide and turned the tide of the battle, turning defeat into victory."

"Such a feat, shocking the past and shining the present!"

"Worthy of being my Great Zhou God of War."

"Now it is my patron saint of Da Zhou!"

Everyone came forward one after another, bowed their hands and saluted Lu Fan, expressing their praise.

"Everyone, don't beat me up."

Lu Fan hurriedly got off his horse, cupped his fists in return, "The victory in this battle is not only due to me alone, nor is it due to the soldiers of the Great Zhou Dynasty, but you, as well as all the people of our Great Zhou Dynasty, are all thanks to everyone. "

"well said!"

Liu Zeming praised: "General Lu really has a great heart and an extraordinary bearing. He has made extraordinary achievements, but he is not proud of it."

"Yes."

"General Lu is too humble."

"I'm ashamed of myself."

Everyone agreed.

"General Lu, please mount your horse."

Lin Fuzhou reminded: "The emperor is waiting to see you."

"it is good."

Lu Fan nodded slightly and got on his horse.

Everyone consciously made way for a passage, and Lu Fan clasped his fists at them, "Everyone, let's talk another day."

"General Lu please."

Everyone bowed their hands in return.

Lu Fan entered the city first, followed by Han Chu and others.

Behind them are the Dragon Shadow Guards and elite cavalry.

The city is even more lively, both sides of the street are full of people, lined the road to welcome.

"Lu Fan!"

"General Lu!"

The cheers rose and fell.

Lu Fan looked around at the crowd, and seeing the smiles on their faces, he suddenly felt touched.

The dead are dead, and the living have hope.

No matter how big the pain is, let it pass when it is over, and look forward.

There is no mountain that cannot be climbed, and there is no hurdle that cannot be overcome.

It is impossible for a person to be unlucky all his life, there is always a good time.

Lu Fan entered the inner city from the outer city, and then entered the imperial city from the inner city. Along the way, he never lost anyone.

From the civil and military officials to the common people, almost all came out of their homes, just to welcome Lu Fan and the generals of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

The triumphant return of the hero, the crowds are empty!
The warm atmosphere can instantly melt people's hearts.

The teams entering the city from various gates met in the imperial city and continued to advance towards the imperial palace.

Han Chu, Li Chengan, Li Yongtai, Ye Wuchen, Gu Cheng, Liu Feng, Xu Mingyang, Zhou Wanjun, Qin Huinan, Gu Changting, Sui Meng, Zhao Jin, Yan Qing, Zhu Jingtian, Mu Yan, Lin Yao, Qin Yu, Meng Ran, Cao Ning, Song Yu, Su Mu, etc., all the soldiers followed behind Lu Fan, feeling a little excited at this moment.

Finally made it through!

After this war, Great Zhou can at least be at peace for decades.

And they can also be promoted to the ranks, and their future is limitless.

All this is because of Lu Fan.

Everyone knew very well that without Lu Fan, they might have died on the battlefield long ago. How could they have the opportunity to receive people's cheers like today?

The entire Great Zhou Dynasty, including them, should be grateful to Lu Fan.

Lu Fan still walked in the front alone.

Even Han Chu, the commander of the Imperial Forest Army, dared not go with Lu Fan.

Others dare not.

After several battles in a row, the soldiers of the Great Zhou were convinced by Lu Fan.

Under the leadership of Lu Fan, all the soldiers came to the north gate of the palace, Shenwu Gate.

Lin Zhengbei was guarding the door.

"The Emperor is here!"

With a loud cry, four little eunuchs carried the emperor out of the palace. Li Tianrun sat on the emperor's chair, seemingly calm, but actually excited.

Won!

Finally won!

Lu Fan, Lu Fan, you are truly the God of the Great Zhou Army!
Desperation can turn you over, is there anything you can't do in this world?

Seeing Li Tianrun, Lu Fan and others hurriedly dismounted and saluted Li Tianrun from a distance.

"See Your Majesty."

When the emperor landed on the ground, Li Tianrun walked a few steps quickly, came to Lu Fan, and supported him, "General Lu, don't be polite!"

Then he looked at the generals, "Generals, please forgive me."

"Yes."

The generals stood up.

"General Lu, follow me to the Hall of Mental Cultivation, I have something to tell you."

Li Tianrun was speaking, and glanced at Lin Zhengbei, "General Lin, take the generals down to rest and wait for my summons."

"Yes."

Lin Zhengbei led the generals to leave.

Lu Fan followed Li Tianrun into the palace, all the way to the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

When the two entered the hall, Li Tianrun smiled and signaled, "General Lu, please sit down."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

After sitting down, the maid came in and offered tea.

Li Tianrun waved away everyone, leaving only two of them in the huge palace.

"General Lu, you are the greatest hero of my Great Zhou, and I will never treat you badly."

Li Tianrun said with a smile: "It's too late today, it's too late, and a reward will be delivered to your house tomorrow."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Lu Fan said a few words politely.

After a while, the ladies of the palace filed in with wine and dishes.

Soon the wine tables were filled.

"General Lu, please take your seat."

Li Tianrun stood up with a smile, "Today I will personally celebrate for you."

Lu Fan said a few more polite words, but had no choice but to sit down.

"Come on!"

Li Tianrun gave orders, and more than a dozen court ladies came in and sang and danced in front of the two of them.

Several other court ladies waited on the side.

"With the credit of General Lu, I can't do anything too much. Today I just expressed my heart."

Li Tianrun raised his wine glass and said with a smile, "I respect you."

"It's still a minister to respect the emperor."

Lu Fan quickly raised his glass, "My contribution is really nothing."

"I know you are humble."

Li Tianrun waved his hand, "But today, I'm celebrating for you, so don't be polite to me, come on, have a drink first."

"Yes."

Lu Fan clinked glasses with Li Tianrun and drank the wine in one gulp.

The two ate a few mouthfuls of food and chatted a little.

"General Lu, let me offer you a second glass of wine."

Li Tianrun raised his glass again and sighed: "After this battle, we have laid a century-old foundation for our Great Zhou, and General Lu should be the first to contribute!"

"The emperor has won the award."

Lu Fan raised his glass together, "I respect Your Majesty."

The two quickly drank their second glass of wine and ate a few more mouthfuls of food.

"General Lu, for this third cup of wine, I respect you for being a hero who is unmatched in the world."

Li Tianrun picked up his wine glass and said with a smile, "I've never seen a hero like you!"

"I dare not be a minister."

Lu Fan actually doesn't like this kind of banquet.

The higher Li Tianrun praised him, the more he couldn't sit still.

High meritorious service shakes the master, accompanying the king is like accompanying a tiger.

He understands all these principles.

After this battle, his popularity reached its peak.

It will definitely arouse suspicion.

The higher you hold, the harder you fall.

Who knows if Li Tianrun has other ideas in his mind?
With Lu Fan's current strength, although he is not afraid, he does not hope that one day in the future, there will be a gap between him and Li Tianrun, and they will become suspicious of each other.

After all, the peace in Da Zhou was achieved by Lu Fan alone, and he doesn't want him to destroy it in the future.

So what has he become?

Therefore, he will try his best to keep a low profile and not get involved in right and wrong.

It will not involve any power struggles.

He is him.

Now he no longer needs to be attached to any force, he only does what he wants to do.

Of course, if anyone dares to have ulterior motives, or even use him to gain power in the future, he will fight back without hesitation.

J!

When it's time to keep a low profile, he will naturally keep a low profile.

But when it's time to show his sharpness, he will also unabashedly show his fangs.

People don't offend me, I don't offend people.

If anyone offends me, I will punish him!
Lu Fan now has the confidence to say this.

……

……

After eating and drinking, Li Tianrun left Lu Fan again, and the two talked for a long time before allowing him to leave.

Before returning to the Lu Mansion, Lu Fan heard the commotion inside from a distance.

The voice was very familiar and kind.

These guys, come here uninvited.

Lu Fan shook his head and smiled, feeling very relieved.

Compared with the banquet with the emperor, he prefers to get together with these people.

That's comfortable.

A young girl stood in front of the gate of the Lu residence, looking left and right, with a slightly anxious expression.

Seeing Lu Fan approaching, her eyes lit up.

Although it was dark now, she still recognized Lu Fan at a glance, trotted to meet him, and said with a smile: "Young master, you are back."

"Chih-Ching?"

Looking at the familiar smiling face, Lu Fan felt touched, "Are you waiting for me here on purpose?"

"Yes."

There was light in Zhiqing's eyes, and the smile on her face was very sweet, "My lord, I know you will come back no matter how late it is."

"Come on, go home."

A warm feeling surged in Lu Fan's heart.

"Hey!"

Zhiqing agreed, and followed Lu Fan into the Lu residence.

"The son is back."

When the servant girls heard the sound, they came out of the house one after another and surrounded Lu Fan.

Surrounded by the crowd, Lu Fan entered the house, stopped and looked at the crowd, "Okay, you all go to work."

"Yes."

The crowd dispersed.

But Zhiqing didn't leave, she accompanied Lu Fan to the dining room, and saw that there was already a banquet set up inside, and people were drinking lively.

Seeing Lu Fan coming in, everyone got up together and bowed their hands to him, "General Lu, come quickly, let's have a few drinks together."

Lu Fan's eyes swept over the faces of the people one by one, and the familiar faces looked so kind.

Ye Wuchen, Qin Yu, Cao Ning, Meng Ran, Song Yu, all came.

Even Su Mu came.

There are also Xu Bin, Yang Cheng, Pei Jun, Zhou Tong, Luo Rui, Gu Xiao, Luo Xing.

Those acquaintances from the Longying Guard of the Zhennan Army have all come.

They have experienced countless battles together, both comrades-in-arms and brothers.

"Don't call me General Lu."

Lu Fan smiled and said, "There is no General Lu today, only Lu Fan."

"it is good!"

Everyone was overjoyed, they all heard the meaning of Lu Fan's words, today there is no position, only comrades-in-arms and brothers.

"Come and sit down."

Ye Wuchen dragged Lu Fan to sit beside him.

When the wine was full, he raised his glass, "Come on, let's toast Lu Fan first."

"it is good."

Everyone responded loudly and raised their glasses together.

"I respect you."

Lu Fan nodded slightly at everyone, "It's all hard work."

"Stop saying polite words, cheers!"

"cheers!"

Everyone drank the wine in their glasses.

After joking a few words, Pei Jun asked, "Lu Fan, why have you been gone for so long?"

"Speak to the emperor."

Lu Fan asked with a smile, "Are you already here?"

"Yes."

Song Yu said: "We can't wait for you, we are really hungry, so we will eat first, don't be surprised."

"how come?"

Lu Fan shook his head lightly, "Just treat this place as your own home."

"I know you are generous."

Yang Cheng smiled and said, "Are you hungry too? Hurry up and order something."

"What food to eat?"

Lu Fan raised his glass with a smile, "Come on, let's have another drink."

"it is good."

The crowd responded in unison.

Although he had already eaten and drank enough, Lu Fan ate and drank with everyone again.

Compared with being in the palace, it is much more comfortable here.

Everyone was talking and laughing, having a great time.

It seems to be back to Zhennanguan, the scene of everyone gathering together in the kitchen of the military camp.

That warmth and touch has continued to this day.

Everything has changed, but the relationship between them has not.

For some, that's all that matters.

……

……

the next morning.

Lu Fan woke up from his trance, washed up, and went to the dining room.

Zhiqing is the same as before, she has been waiting here for a long time.

She filled a bowl of mutton soup for Lu Fan, added seasonings, stirred it evenly, and brought it to Lu Fan.

Then she brought some beef biscuits, a basket of big meat buns, and various pies.

She knew that Lu Fan liked this, so she made arrangements in advance.

"What about the rest?"

Lu Fan picked up a beef biscuit and ate it.

He drank a few more sips of mutton soup.

It's still the same taste.

that's nice!

"Except for General Ye, everyone else has left, saying they are going back to the barracks."

Zhi Qing stood aside with her hands down, and said: "Before they left, they specifically asked me not to disturb you."

"Okay, I see."

Lu Fan stopped talking and concentrated on eating.

After a while, Ye Wuchen came.

Zhiqing served him a bowl of bean curd, served with some desserts, and steamed stuffed buns with vegetarian fillings.

The taste is completely different from that of Lu Fan.

Zhiqing is well aware of the habits of the two of them, even though they haven't seen each other for a long time, they still haven't forgotten them.

"Oh, it's finally over."

Ye Wuchen took a few mouthfuls of food, then turned his gaze to Lu Fan, "What are you going to do next?"

"Let's wait for the emperor's decree to come down."

Lu Fan already has a preliminary idea, but he hasn't made up his mind yet.

"Let's talk about it first."

Ye Wuchen brought up the old story again, "You want to accompany me back to Jinling City to live for a while."

"OK, no problem."

Lu Fan readily agreed.

He is relaxed now, and it is not a bad idea to think about some things in advance.

"really?"

Ye Wuchen was very pleasantly surprised, and said with a smile: "Today, I will send someone a message to go back and prepare in advance."

"There is no need to mobilize the crowd."

Lu Fan said: "Just treat me as an ordinary friend visiting."

"Well, it won't."

Ye Wuchen smiled and agreed, "I know you like to keep a low profile, so I will do as you want."

"By the way, the emperor didn't summon you?"

Lu Fan guessed: "With the credit you have made, I am afraid you will be promoted to commander-in-chief?"

"The emperor doesn't care about me now."

Ye Wuchen shook his head lightly, "In my estimation, the emperor is personally drafting an edict to reward you."

"Based on your merits, this reward may be extraordinary."

"Just wait in peace."

Speaking of this, Ye Wuchen glanced at Lu Fan and said with a smile: "Maybe you will be surprised."

"Then borrow your auspicious words."

Lu Fan didn't care about other rewards, even if he didn't give him anything, as long as he was given heavenly skills and combat achievements.

In the final analysis, military exploits are also in exchange for heavenly skills.

The combat achievements he has accumulated now, combined, are less than 100 million.

For this reward, it would be best if he could make up 200 million military exploits.

In that way, he can exchange for two books of heavenly exercises at the same time.

With these new skills, his strength will definitely improve by leaps and bounds again.

Maybe he can break through the innate realm in one fell swoop and achieve extraordinary achievements.

After breakfast, Lu Fan and Ye Wuchen didn't go back to their rooms, but came to the living room and waited quietly.

Lu Fan was meditating and practicing, while Ye Wuchen took out the recliner as before, and lay on it leisurely.

After an unknown amount of time, Zhi Qing came in to report, "My lord, Mr. Gao and Eunuch Gui have come, and they said they brought the emperor's will."

Lu Fan opened his eyes, waved his hand and said, "Please."

"Yes."
