Chapter 51: This piece of cloth painted with stars cannot be...teared~
The Cangwu army retreated quickly and retreated back to the south of the Yangtze River. As for the other troops, they were beaten to pieces by the imperial army. After falling, less than one out of ten people successfully retreated to the south of the Yangtze River. After this battle, the King of Wu's power not only failed to turn over, but also seemed to be in twilight.
Regarding this failure, King Wu naturally began to review the situation and quickly found clues.
Someone betrayed him, and then he pulled out the carrot and brought out the mud. This time, King Wu was indeed very angry. Everyone who had anything to do with it had their homes confiscated and their families destroyed, causing a bloody storm in the south of the Yangtze River.
There were not many people who died unjustly. They were all local wealthy families. There were people in the imperial court who were officials and had been hooking up, and then they were caught.
However, it was precisely because of this behavior that King Wu was cast aside by the scholars. Later, many scholars who originally took refuge in King Wu left, leaving a vacancy in the management.
This made King Wu so angry that he immediately started the continuous sitting mode and killed all of them, one by one. The original prosperity of Jiangnan was almost withered.
The reputation of King Wu in Jiangnan has also plummeted. The specific reason is naturally that some people are not willing to be outdone and are retaliating against King Wu through public opinion offensive.
Lu Xingshi could understand it at first. Seeing that he had just broken the game, he planned to make a big move, but his back foot was betrayed and the whole army was annihilated. Now there is no hope of winning at all. This must not include all the bastards who betrayed him. Give it to Tutu.
But until now, Lu Xingshi found that King Wu seemed to be a little crazy.
Obviously he cannot accept his failure.
This is not a good thing, because the imperial army has entered the area south of the Yangtze River. Because King Wu has a bad reputation, all places are naturally happy to welcome the king's division.
The imperial army did not encounter any resistance along the way and basically surrendered wherever they went.
King Wu's behavior of settling scores and venting his anger caused a backlash from local forces.
"I didn't expect King Wu to be defeated so miserably, alas." After Murong Xuan arrived, he couldn't help but sigh after hearing the development during this period from Lu Xingshi's mouth.
"Speaking of which, master, why do you plan to come to Jiangnan, and what good things have you brought for me?" Lu Xingshi asked.
He didn't ask how the other party found him. Where was his Golden Crow God General? He would know just by asking. Many people came to visit him these days.
After all, his reputation is indeed great, especially for helping King Wu fight back in desperate situations.
However, as King Wu's reputation declined, Lu Xingshi's reputation also came with the voice of aiding the emperor, but Lu Xingshi didn't care.
If you have your mouth on others, how can you keep them from speaking?
As long as you don't say it in front of him or ridicule him in person, Lu Xingshi won't go out of his way to kill him.
"I'm being chased. Come here to hide." When Murong Xuan said this, he took out a picture from his arms: "Here, this thing is a good thing."
"Who is not smart enough to pursue you, Master? When King Wu dies, I will knock on the door and kill everyone." Lu Xingshi was also a little surprised when he heard this.
"I don't know, I didn't see what the method was." Murong Xuan must have been unable to defeat the opponent, so he was hunted down and came to Lu Xingshi.
Otherwise, they would have killed the opponent long ago.
"So mysterious?" Seeing that Murong Xuan didn't know who was chasing him, Lu Xingshi had no choice. Murong Xuan, a veteran in the world and a witness, had no clues, so Lu Xingshi didn't know anything.
Then he took the picture from the opponent's hand, and there was a group of dots. Fortunately, Lu Xingshi could see what it was.
These points are astrological charts. He had activated astrological abilities before when he was in Linlang Pavilion. Some martial arts also require astrological knowledge.
"What kind of good thing is this?" Lu Xingshi couldn't see it.
"I can't tell, but I got it from the pursuer." "You don't think this thing is just a piece of cloth. I cut it with a sword without leaving a trace." Murong Xuan explained.
Murong Xuan is called the Star Reacher, which refers to his Qinggong on the one hand, and his stealing ability on the other. Of course, most people in the world only know the former.
Lu Xingshi seriously suspected that the slow progress of Murong Xuan's "Rejuvenation Technique" was because Murong Xuan had been distracted by practicing the art of stealing.
Murong Xuan was good at stealing. Only Lu Xingshi and his master knew that Murong Xuan was good at stealing. Even the late emperor and the current emperor didn't know about it.
"It's so powerful, let me give it a try." Lu Xingshi stretched out his hand and pulled it, and heard a crunch, and the cloth with the star chart was torn in half by Lu Xingshi.
"No, you're really trying too hard???" Murong Xuan had a look on his face.
"It doesn't matter, it's just a star chart, it's not a big deal." Lu Xingshi looked unconcerned.
"But the person who wants to kill me has been chasing me for ten days because of this astrology chart..." Murong Xuan said speechlessly.
"Master, you can't tell the whole story. What's the point of leaving a section?" Lu Xingshi also understood what Murong Xuan meant, that is, there is some kind of secret in this astrological map.
It's okay now, let alone having a secret, even if there is no estimate, it's all in vain.
"Who knew your hands were so fast and you could actually tear me apart..." Murong Xuan didn't expect that Lu Xingshi could really do it.
In his hands, this piece of cloth with celestial images was truly magical.
"Then what else can we do? But even if there is a secret, it doesn't matter. It has nothing to do with us." Lu Xingshi is very open-minded, and what good things can be destroyed by him.
"Okay." Although Murong Xuan felt a little distressed, after thinking about it again, Lu Xingshi was right, this kind of thing can easily lead to trouble... No, it seems to have already caused trouble.
"Then what if the pursuer gets into a fight because of this piece of cloth?" Murong Xuan asked quietly.
"Well...it's easy to handle." Lu Xingshi used his 100 points of understanding to think about this problem, and 100 points of understanding told him to just use his 100 points of bones to kill the enemy.
"Catch the other party, torture them out of their mouths to find out the forces behind them, and then I'll use the Golden Crow to uproot them."
Lu Xingshi's solution was simple and crude.
It can't solve the problem, but it can solve the people who created the problem.
"What a good idea. You sleep on the bed at night and I sleep under the bed. I hope someone will come and kill me at night." Murong Xuan looked like he was leaving it to you.
"Master, if you cheat me like this, be careful if I blow your gold coins one day..." Lu Xingshi complained.
He was sleeping on the bed, and when the pursuers came, they would stab him with the first knife.
However, given his strength, the pursuer was probably noticed by Lu Xingshi before he even entered the house.
"But this pursuer really dares to come? Isn't he afraid of death?" Lu Xingshi's reputation is now very famous in the world, and everyone who sees him is treated like a quail.
