After hearing what Guo Yanwu said, Lu Yun was confused. Logically, among the secular mortals, this old man should be of the highest combat power. What happened to him that this master showed a nervous expression.
At this moment, Lu Yun felt that his disciple was missing, and there was no secret behind it, so that this swordsman, known as Yun Ling's strongest, had to be treated with caution.
Seeing this, Lu Yun asked, "If the elder is trusting, why not tell me what happened?"
"Actually, this matter is well known, and many people have been caught in.
In the Xuzhou territory of the Thirteen Continents of Yunling, there were countless casualties in Canglan City two months ago when the dragon turned over and died or injured, but for some reason, a plague broke out.
The court sent 20,000 elite soldiers to investigate, but in the end, no ten people came back, and they were all taken care of after they came back.
There is news that a plague occurred in Canglan City, and there are even rumors in private that His Majesty has killed all the two thousand remaining soldiers, and I don’t know whether it is true or false.”
When Lu Yun heard this, he said, "If this news is true, then the emperor is cruel!"
"Not necessarily, if I expected it, I'm afraid the person who really decided on it all was not the emperor."
After hearing what the old swordsman said, Lu Yun became interested. After all, he still has no clear understanding of the domestic situation in Yunling.
So he hurriedly asked, "Elder, what do you mean is that the person who controls the tens of millions of people in Yunling's realm is not the one sitting on the dragon throne, but someone else?"
"As far as I know, the person sitting on the dragon throne in the Shenjing Palace is already sixty-five. Among the emperors, this lifespan is considered longevity.
Old man, I was traveling in Shenjing two years ago, and I heard news that the emperor was in a bad state and that the prince was in charge of the country.
Maybe the killing of soldiers this time was actually the order of the prince.”
"This is really unwise. If the prince really ordered these remaining soldiers to be killed, it would be easy to lose their morale if he didn't do it well. It would not be a good thing for him to ascend the throne in the future..."
Speaking of this, Lu Yun thought for a moment, then said: "It seems that what happened in Canglan City is not ordinary...
Otherwise, as the crown prince, he was born to be carefully taught, and he grew up in the imperial family, so he still had the means to govern the country.
I am afraid that the remaining soldiers are also infected with the plague, so I have to go to this bad plan!”
Guo Yanwu nodded quite agreeably: "Yes, it's a pity that someone knew that Canglan City was extremely dangerous, but he insisted on letting someone go there."
Hearing this, Lu Yun asked, "Elder, is it your disciple?"
"It was not because my disciple, who was willing to go there. I met him when he was seven or eight years old. This kid was born with a very intelligent and talented martial arts. He would not do such a reckless thing.
Unfortunately, he had a bad relationship. Since he was a child, he had a marriage with the famous Wang family in the martial arts world. The Wang family has been unique in the world with his unique sword-making skills, and the family has industries everywhere."
"Could it be that your disciple's disappearance is related to the Wang family?" Lu Yun asked.
The old swordsman sighed and shook his head: "Yes, the Wang family has an industry in Canglan City. After the earth dragon turned over and broke out in a plague, no one dared to go within a radius of dozens of miles.
It is rumored that nearby towns were also forced to move away by the imperial court. Now the land is deserted and no one can tell what it is inside.
The legitimate son of the Wang family happened to be in the city and disappeared after a natural disaster, so his father found my disciple...
So my disciple took many good men to find people in Canglan City.
As a result, his younger brother, Zhao Kuo, traveled thousands of miles to Yazhou to find me, hoping that I could help him!"
Speaking of this, Guo Yanwu pulled out a short sword from his waist. The sword was simple and unpretentious. Lu Yun seemed to be an ordinary weapon, and it was nothing strange.
Looking at the short soldiers in his hands, Guo Yanwu seemed to sigh: "I have brought this sword from the age of 60 to now. It has been eighteen years since I bought it from an ordinary iron shop.
I am holding a sword in the world and never afraid of confronting people head-on. But I have to be careful when facing disasters like plagues.
Even if your martial arts are unique in the world, even if you are rich enough to compete with a country, you will be powerless if a natural disaster comes!
In the eyes of God, we are just ants that can be kneaded at will. In front of the great power of heaven and earth, people are just dust particles and are not worth mentioning at all!”
Speaking of this, Guo Yanwu put his sword in the sheath and slowly said, "Listen to Zhao Kuo, in order to find someone in Canglan City again, his Wang family sent a lot of people this time and planned to go with him!
This place is adjacent to Xuzhou, and there are more than a month left before the agreed time. Even if you arrive in Xuzhou, it will be useless. It is better to rest in this field. I can teach your little girl's sword technique.
At that time, I will give your girl a good intention to practice, but how much she can get depends on herself."
After saying that, Lu Yun smiled and said, "It's nothing. The so-called master leads him into the door. It depends on his own personal practice. How much she can remember is her luck.
But elder, you won’t mind watching me by the way, right?"
"No, this sword technique was not achieved overnight. I see that you have fibrous fingers and no calluses on your hands.
Just because of your lack of diligence in all limbs, to be honest, you can tell at a glance that you are definitely not a person who practices martial arts and swords.
Even if I teach you step by step, I will not make much progress after ten or eight years of training him!"
When Lu Yun heard this, he said intimately: "Damn, our sword-making talent is really that bad?!"
After thinking about it, it was hard to say that his motor nerves were sincere.
To put it bluntly, I couldn’t even make a fuss in my previous life. I hope I would be a peerless genius who is invincible after traveling through time.
However, Lu Yun was not discouraged. Nine out of ten people who were like him in his previous life.
But compared to those guys who were both hands and feet during military training, he was still good. At least his body was coordinated and he was not going well!
Besides, the real boss, whoever takes it himself, is not always sitting in the hall, and speaking is the Dharma.
His wonderful way of destiny is a way to defend against the enemy. Why not make any effort to make a living for himself?
Lu Yun waved his hand casually: "It's okay for me to practice swords or not. I just want to see what the real sword technique can reach!"
"Hahaha... I'll let you take a look tomorrow. How is the difference between my short-soldier in my hand and others!"
The two of them immediately chatted for a while until late at night, and they went back to their house to rest.
When the night fades away, the outline of the village gradually appears...
In the mist, a rooster crowed, and the old farmer opened the door, carried a hoe on his shoulders, and went to the field to weed while the weather was cold.
The peasant women also got up, took brooms to clean the yard and door, and then walked into the vegetable garden to take care of the vegetables in the garden.
At the same time, Lu Yun did not sleep all night, and his body was tireless, just to develop the habit of closing his eyes and resting.
