Guarding the border: I am sanctified in the flesh

Chapter 193 The Emperor of Zhou’s Counterattack

The news of Lu Fan's return spread to the surrounding areas with Dayu City as the center.

Soon it spread throughout the Zhou Dynasty, and then to Chu, Qin, Wei, and so on.

Immediately caused a sensation.

Although Lu Fan's disappearance was concealed for a long time, it was not concealed in the end. Anyone with a little more information already knew about it.

Now that Lu Fan has returned, the news is spreading even faster.

"Did you know? Lu Fan is back."

"Yeah, I heard that too."

"I thought he would never come back."

"Well, I even thought he was dead."

"Shh, be quiet."

Since Lu Fan's return, Lu Fan has been the most talked about in the streets.

This is true no matter which country.

The name that shocked the world back then was mentioned again, but it did not reduce people's awe for him at all.

After all, it has only been three years.

I think it was Lu Fan who saved the Great Zhou Dynasty all his life and frightened all the countries.

They all sued for peace.

Today, the Great Zhou Dynasty is prosperous and prosperous. Countries come to court and can be regarded as the overlord of the world.

Anyone familiar with the matter knows that all of this is actually due to Lu Fan.

Great Zhou capital.

Inside the palace.

Li Tianrun was reviewing the memorial in the imperial study as usual.

Now his throne is stable and the whole world is surrendered.

It can be said that the entire world is under his control.

But he is still diligent.

He likes to be an emperor, and he even likes to be busy in various political affairs.

It seemed that only in this way could he feel at ease.

Although those past experiences were not satisfactory, at least the results were good.

Under his leadership, Dazhou was far better than before.

Today, the country is rich and the people are strong, and it is an unprecedented prosperous era.

This is of course his credit.

He often boasted of this and compared himself to the greatest kings.

In the future, he will even surpass all emperors and become the true emperor through the ages!
"His Majesty!"

Xiao Guizi hurried in with a bit of panic on her face, "King Zhennan is back!"

"what?"

Li Tianrun's expression changed drastically, and he slumped down on the chair, his expression slightly dull.

After a long while, he came back to his senses and asked, "Is the news accurate?"

"Can't be wrong."

Xiao Guizi said: "I received several secret letters in a row, all with the same content. King Zhennan returned to Dayu City and held a grand banquet in the palace."

"Okay, I see."

Li Tianrun had calmed down and waved his hand, "Go and find Li Yongtai. I have something to arrange for him to do."

"Yes."

Xiao Guizi bowed and retreated.

Li Tianrun just wiped the sweat from his forehead, his eyes looked slightly uneasy and a little suspicious.

How can it be?

He, who had always been calm, was actually a little confused.

Just because the name Lu Fan was too heavy in his heart.

It overwhelmed him a few years ago.

Just a few years after he felt relaxed, he fell into uneasiness again.

Moreover, this time is no different than three years ago.

Since the other party dares to come back, it means that he has enough confidence to deal with the current situation.

Based on his understanding of Lu Fan, it was easy to make such a judgment.

He knew that Lu Fan had always been calm and didn't like to take risks.

It is even less possible to gamble with the lives of yourself and your family.

Lu Fan was already invincible in the world back then, and now he is probably even more unstoppable.

How to do?
As the royal family of the Great Zhou Dynasty, although the Li family has some background, the most powerful method has been used by him.

Moreover, the effect is minimal.

With the power in his hands, can he really stop Lu Fan?

I'm afraid it will be difficult.

Now we can only rely on his original deception to make Lu Fan look in the wrong direction and not suspect him.

The reason why he did that in the first place was to leave a way out for himself.

What if Lu Fan can come back alive?
Unexpectedly, the original expectation became a reality.

But no matter what, this is not a long-term solution.

Once something is done, it will leave clues.

When all suspicions are eliminated, the real culprit will naturally emerge.

Because he knew that no matter what he did, he would never be able to escape suspicion.

Unless Lu Fan is allowed to find the real murderer.

Fortunately, he had made some preparations before.

It can help Lu Fan find the real murderer.

I just don’t know if Lu Fan will follow his ideas?

Li Tianrun fell into deep thought.

After a long time, Li Yongtai entered the imperial study room under the guidance of Xiao Guizi, "I see your Majesty."

"Exemption."

Li Tianrun signaled Xiao Guizi to leave, and then waved to Li Yongtai, "General Li, come and sit down."

"Yes."

Li Yongtai strode to Li Tianrun and found a chair to sit down.

"Lu Fan is back."

Li Tianrun spoke and stared at Li Yongtai without blinking.

"what?"

Li Yongtai was shocked. His expression changed again and again, but he remained silent. He didn't say anything for a long time.

"I hope you can go to Dayu City on my behalf."

Li Tianrun thought for a while and said, "Condolence to King Zhennan for me."

"Yes."

Li Yongtai instantly understood what Li Tianrun meant and said loudly: "I will live up to the trust of the Holy One."

"There's one more thing. If Lu Fan asks, just say this."

Li Tianrun whispered a few instructions.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Li Yongtai showed no hesitation and nodded repeatedly.

"Okay, let's go."

Li Tianrun instructed: "Only you and I know about this matter, and we must not disclose it to others."

"Don't worry, Your Majesty."

Li Yongtai looked determined, "I know what to do."

After saying that, he bowed and left.

After leaving the imperial study room, he suddenly felt a chill on his back. He reached out and touched it, but his clothes were completely wet with cold sweat.

This matter was so important that even he couldn't bear it.

Lu Fan, Lu Fan, since you are not dead, why do you come back?

Just stay there and cut off contact with the world, can't you?

This is fine.

Not to mention the Great Zhou Dynasty, the whole world will be trembled by it.

It seems like things are going to change again?

……

……

Dayu City.

Lu Fan rarely enjoyed spending time with his family.

In addition to accompanying her every day, he also takes time to teach his daughter the Dahuang Sutra.

My daughter's entry was very fast, and it only took a few days to successfully enter the country.

Ye Qingyun also often asked Lu Fan for advice, and under his guidance, her cultivation improved by leaps and bounds.

There are also Tang Chuowan, Qiao Yun, Qin Yu, Su Mu, etc. Lu Fan occasionally gives them a few words, which benefits them a lot.

His own cultivation has not fallen behind, and his body of chaos, plus several secret techniques, are steadily improving.

At the same time, the magic circle is also under construction.There are also visitors coming to visit.

Gu Cheng, Qin Huinan, Xu Mingyang, Zhou Wanjun, Liu Feng, Gu Changting, etc., those generals who fought alongside him back then, are now in high positions, but they still come to see him after a long journey.

The emperors of Chu, Yue, and Shu all sent envoys and presented generous gifts.

Ten days passed in a blink of an eye.

Ye Wuchen came to Dayu City again.

He could easily feel the changes in the entire city.

In fact, he had already felt it in Zhennanguan, but it was not so obvious.

"Is this the function of the magic circle?"

Seeing Lu Fan, Ye Wuchen asked the doubts in his heart, "How do I feel that your spiritual energy here is extremely abundant?"

"Yes."

Lu Fan nodded slightly, "I built a Qi gathering array in Dayu City, and the center of the array is at Zhennan Palace."

"The spiritual energy here is the most abundant, more than ten times that of the outside world."

"The farther away you are, the weaker the effect."

"If it's at Zhennanguan, it will be almost three times more effective."

"Although it is far less abundant than the spiritual energy in the world of cultivating immortals, it is enough for martial cultivators."

As he spoke, Lu Fan walked out, "Let's go, I'll take you around."

"it is good."

Ye Wuchen and Lu Fan walked side by side.

The two came to the courtyard, and Lu Fan introduced: "There are also several magic circles, all of which are defensive magic circles."

"The first one is called the Four Spirit Array. It can use the four powers of wind, fire, ice, and thunder to attack invading enemies."

"There is also a magic circle called the Five Elements Formation."

"Use the power of the five elements to attack the invading enemies."

"The stronger the person who controls the magic circle, the greater the power of the magic circle."

"With your cultivation level in the Saint Realm, you can kill the powerful ones in the Nascent Soul Stage."

"But if you cooperate with these two magic formations, you may even have a chance to kill a powerful person in the transformation stage."

"So, if the two demon clans really invade us in the future, if the enemy is powerful, even you will have difficulty resisting it."

"You can lead the enemies to Dayu City and use the magic circle to kill them."

Speaking of this, Lu Fan gently patted Ye Wuchen and said, "If nothing happens in the future, you can stay here with me and don't care about anything. Just concentrate on your cultivation."

"The stronger you are, the more at ease I feel."

"If you can advance to the Holy King realm before the demons invade, you can use the magic circle to kill the strong men in the Void Refining Stage."

"By then, Dayu City will be safe and sound."

"In my estimation, the demon and demon clans will at most send out Nascent Soul masters."

"But everything is unexpected, so we have to be on guard and prepare for the worst."

"Even if there is an invasion by a powerful person in the Void Refining Stage, we can still deal with it."

"At least you have to rely on the magic circle, deal with the opponent, and wait for my support."

After a pause, Lu Fan continued: "So, the burden on you is actually very heavy. But I believe you can do it."

"Do not worry."

Ye Wuchen nodded, "As long as I'm here, those monsters will never come back."

"By the way, how's it going over there in Chu State?"

Lu Fan asked: "Is there any news about Chu Xuan and Chu Zhaonan?"

"No."

Ye Wuchen turned to look in the direction of the Chu Kingdom in the south, "I sent people out to sea to search, but found nothing. Based on my guess, they may have gone to the world of immortality."

"Ah."

Lu Fan thought for a while and said, "Forget it, let's talk about it later, we will find them sooner or later."

"Teach me how to control the magic circle."

Ye Wuchen couldn't wait any longer.

"Okay, let me start with the Four Spirit Formation."

Lu Fan spoke and walked towards the formation, "Follow me."

"it is good."

Ye Wuchen quickly followed.

……

……

Five days later.

The eighth day of July, morning.

Lu Fan woke up from his trance and opened the attribute panel.

Secret skills: Beginner's level of alchemy (1/10), perfected beast control skills, perfected magic circle skills, beginner's level of weapon refining skills (1/10)

Assignable Attribute Points: 2931.43
It has been 20 days since Lu Fan returned to Dayu City, and his cultivation has not fallen behind.

The body of chaos has been cultivated to perfection by him.

After upgrading, his strength increased by 1024 points, his agility increased by 512 points, his mental strength increased by 512 points, and his physical strength increased by 2048 points.

Both the beast control technique and the magic circle technique have been cultivated to perfection, and the mental power has increased by 1000 points.

Alchemy and weapon refining skills are also steadily improving.

Now, although his true strength has not yet reached the perfection of the Tribulation Stage, it is not too far behind.

Coupled with his powerful body and various martial arts, even if he encounters a battle between Aotian and Long, not to mention defeating each other, at least he can be invincible.

That's it.

Even if the demons and monsters come to invade now, he has nothing to fear.

"My lord."

Qiao Yun came in and announced, "General Li Yongtai has come to pay a visit and is waiting in the living room."

"Oh?"

Lu Fan thought that he had come at the right time. He happened to have something to ask Li Yongtai.

"I'm going to see him right now."

As he spoke, Lu Fan stood up and walked to the living room.

Li Yongtai was sitting in the living room drinking tea. When he saw Lu Fan coming out, he quickly stood up and said hello, "Your Majesty, you are well."

"I didn't expect General Li to come in person. Please take a seat."

Lu Fan smiled and exchanged a few pleasantries, and the two sat down.

"I am here this time on behalf of His Majesty, specifically to visit King Zhennan."

Li Yongtai smiled and said: "I wonder where King Zhennan has been these years? Why did he suddenly return?"

"I don't lie to you either."

Lu Fan understood that Li Yongtai's purpose of coming this time was to test him.

"Actually, I went to the world of immortality and stayed there for a few years."

"Oh?"

Li Yongtai pretended to be surprised and asked tentatively: "So, the prince's strength has far exceeded before?"

"That's not it."

Lu Fan shook his head gently, "I just opened my eyes and gained some knowledge. As for my strength, it can be considered a slight improvement."

"With the prince's strength, a slight improvement is huge."

Li Yongtai sighed: "It's not like me. I haven't made any progress in so many years."

"The General is too modest."

Lu Fan could naturally see that Li Yongtai's strength was stuck at the peak of the first level, unable to break through to Xiantian.

If there is no great opportunity, I may not be able to advance in this life.

I think back then, Li Yongtai was the superior commander, and he was just a soldier.

Now the strength of the two has been reversed, and the difference in strength between the two is even greater than before.

Not to mention Ye Wuchen and Liu Mei, even Tang Chuowan will be far more powerful than Li Yongtai in the future.

"By the way, the emperor was very happy to hear that you were back."

Li Yongtai smiled and said: "The emperor asked me to invite you to the capital. The emperor misses you very much and has many things to say to you."

"no problem."

Lu Fan agreed, "General, go back and tell the emperor that in more than ten days, I will go to the capital to meet with the emperor."

"Well."

Li Yongtai smiled and said, "I can do business when I go back."

"The general has arrived just in time."

Lu Fan looked at Li Yongtai and said, "There is something I have wanted to ask the general for a long time, but unfortunately I never had the chance."

"My lord, please speak."

Li Yongtai's face turned serious.

Lu Fan asked directly: "Do you still remember the broken letter when the horse thieves were wiped out?"
