Chapter 437



437 The aristocratic families who did not put in any effort

“These aristocratic families of Qi state deserve to die!”

It was clear that Wei Yun was really angry when he said that.

Lu Chaohe, who was sitting not far away from her, said helplessly, ” “Isn’t this something we’ve already expected? Senior doesn’t need to be so angry.”

Lu Chaohe did not expect that his words of comfort would bring trouble upon himself instead.

“Look at you! Sitting cross-legged on the ground like this, you don’t look like an Emperor at all!”

Lu Chaohe was a little confused. The fire of desire was burning his head?

Were all women like this?

Actually, Lu Chaohe could understand why he was angry. For the same reason, in the past ten years, he had also been angry many times.

The aristocratic families in Qi state were really disobedient.

Logically speaking, this war should have been a very sudden one. However, this was not the case. In the process of Wu state’s battle, it was obvious that Wu State had already known Qi state’s battle plan.

Fortunately, there was a Dharma master like Wei Yun in the Qi Army, so they were not too worried about being ambushed or sneak attacked. The Wu State did not have the guts to do so. Even if they really did do it, with a great Dharma idol here, all schemes and intrigues were nonsense.

However, it was clear that the tough defense line set up at the border of Yangzhou would not be built in a day.

This line of defense must have been set up by the Wu people for a long time. It was definitely not something that could be done in a few years ‘time if he wanted to connect the power of more than a dozen spirit veins together.

However, it was also because of the huge amount of work that it took a long time to set up the defense line.

However, the other party was able to move ahead of time, giving up the places that could not be guarded in front and retreating to this place.

There was a reason to believe that the other party had already known about their attack plan from the inside of Qi state.

Of course, this was not easy to say without evidence.

But there was another thing that was confirmed. During this period of war, the aristocratic families of the Qi state had not put in much effort.

Not all of the aristocratic families were doing their part, but at least a large number of them were.

Some of the aristocratic families that had completely submitted to the Lu family did not have such a problem.

However, it was not enough to rely on them. Furthermore, if the Qi state’s aristocratic families that were close to the Lu clan suffered too many casualties, it would be a great loss to the Lu clan’s authority in the Qi state.

As for why they didn’t put in any effort,

It wasn’t that they were colluding with the Wu country. However, it was very normal for them to have some tacit understanding.

Therefore, it was also because of this that even though the battle was very lively in the beginning, in the end, after a day of fighting, there were not many deaths on both sides. This was a very normal situation.

What made Weiyun the angriest was that she had personally led the team to attack today.

The presence of a Dharma plane expert, coupled with the bombardment of the formation-breaking cannons, brought about a lot of pressure. In this case, as long as the Army of cultivators fought with all their might, they might not be able to take down the defense line of Wu State today. At least, the Wu people would have to pay a great price to be able to resist it. The entire defense line would also suffer heavy damage.

However, even so, they couldn’t do this-or rather, they didn’t want to do it.

It was impossible for Weiyun not to be angry after a battle that had exhausted a lot of energy and returned without any results.

She killed several people on the spot, but even so, she couldn’t urge these Qi cultivators to move forward bravely.

After they withdrew, they had no place to vent their anger, so they could only scold Lu Chao and the Emperor of Da Qi.

Lu Chaohe was used to it.

In the past ten years, he had been angry because of the troubles that the aristocratic families had caused. He even felt that there was no meaning in being the Emperor. However, he slowly got used to it.

After waiting for Weiyun’s anger to calm down a little, Lu Chaohe said, ” “Senior doesn’t need to be so anxious. Let’s do it this way. Looking at the time, it’s about time,”

“En, hehe,” Weiyun replied.

……

What they were waiting for was naturally the group of cultivators who had already infiltrated the Wu state’s Eastern Sea.

Their leader was LAN nuo Xing.

The former pillar of Wu State had led the elite cultivators of yan state to land on the shore, ready to launch a battle to destroy their home country.

To be honest, many people in the group, including Lu mingchao, were rather frightened.

This was equivalent to letting LAN nuo Xing return to his home country. If he wasn’t loyal, or if he missed his home country, then it would be too easy to lead these cultivators into a trap and kill them.

However, this was Lu Qing’s decision. Lu mingchao could not say anything.

Moreover, at the very least, wasn’t his father still in charge?

Even though Lu Qing did not personally go to the battlefield, Lu mingchao had seen her father, who should have been far away at Yuyan mountain, suddenly descend at critical moments.

This time around, Lu mingchao felt that if LAN nuo Xing did his job properly, there was nothing to worry about. If Raynor Xing rebelled, or if he didn’t, but the war still ended up in an unfavorable situation, her father wouldn’t sit by and do nothing.

At the thought of this, Lu mingchao also felt more or less at ease.

As they stepped into the territory of Wu country, everyone was somewhat nervous.

However, they didn’t encounter any major problems on the swift Boat.

In fact, great Wu had made some arrangements for the defense of the coastline. However, their main defense target was still the large-scale movement of the cultivator Army. A thousand people was considered a small force. Moreover, even with the power of a great celestial nation, it would be difficult to set up a blockade as strong as the one on the border of Yangzhou in the other direction.

Furthermore, the quality of these thousand people was so high.

Moving in batches, they quickly sneaked into the heart of the Wu country. After regrouping, LAN nuo Xing did not say a word and continued to lead them along a large river, heading west.

This River was also a line of defense, and it was stronger than the front line in Yangzhou, just like the Wei Kingdom’s River Defense line.

However, this line of defense had not been activated yet.

According to Wu state’s strategy, although they attached great importance to Qi state’s Army, they still didn’t neglect yan state who stood behind Qi state. They had already considered the worst case scenario, which was to face the attack of the Yan Qi coalition Army at the same time. The Yangzhou defense line was only the first line of defense. If they could not hold on, they were prepared to connect to the various spirit veins along the way to stop them. They would continue to defend until they retreated to the defense line at the Dajiang province.

However, before the Yan Kingdom’s Army had even arrived and the Qi Kingdom’s people were firmly blocking the way outside Yangzhou, a major incident had occurred at the Dajiang defense line!
