Chapter 311: Unexpected Relaxation
As a very proud scholar, Bao Zheng was upright and righteous. He dared to point at the emperor's nose and scold him, spit in his face, and despised all unfair powers.
But he also has a weakness. As a true literati, he will not "rebel."
People like him would rather die giving advice and fighting to the death with treacherous officials than think of ways to overthrow the court.
This is the limitation of the times and also his biggest shortcoming as a Confucian scholar.
The relationship between ruler and subject, father and son is engraved in his bones and blood.
Filial piety is of utmost importance. The matter at hand involves ancient secret history and the "housework" of the entire Chinese family. How dare he mess around?
Anyway, someone is in charge of this matter. If Master Lu is unwilling to take care of it, Bao Zheng will choose to give it a try and solve the problem.
Jinghuan glanced at Bao Zheng, with some surprise in his eyes: "You kid, you do have some luck. I won't make things difficult for you. Leave quickly."
Bao Zheng bowed gently and said: "Thank you for the praise, my ancestors, but I cannot retreat."
Whale Huan sighed deeply, stretched out his hand and summoned many strange beasts, which almost surrounded Bao Zheng and others.
At this time, the Eastern Roman Empire soldiers who went to grab the gems also re-formed their formations under the commander's shouting and finally pressed forward.
Although each of them had bits and pieces of gems in their pockets, this did not hinder their fighting awareness.
It was normal for the imperial soldiers to rob and fight at the same time.
"If you don't retreat, I will be rude to you." Jinghuan said coldly.
Bao Zheng did not speak, but used the black area to cover the surroundings and made his attitude clear.
"court death."
Jing Huan was really annoyed. She wanted to show leniency to this descendant because she thought Bao Zheng did have some luck.
If the other party doesn't appreciate it, there's no need to waste any more words.
She waved her hand again, and dense swarms of monsters filled almost the entire space.
In the sky, on the ground, everywhere.
The sky was filled with the roars of monsters, and it was almost impossible to see anything other than the monsters.
When Bao Zheng and Zhan Zhao saw this, they both smiled bitterly.
The Eastern Roman Empire soldiers who had just rushed over were so frightened that their faces trembled and their legs began to shake.
When stimulated by the treasure, they can indeed unleash a strong will to fight, but they will also be timid when faced with a battle that is almost impossible to win.
Whale Huan snorted, and was about to order the monsters to rush forward and tear apart the intruding humans, but at this moment, there was a loud bang in the sky, and a large number of monsters were torn apart by the huge force, turning into a bunch of broken limbs and flesh flying everywhere. The originally dense encirclement was suddenly opened.
Two aircraft landed, and Lu Sen jumped out with his three apprentices.
"you……"
Jinghuan had just said two words when she thought of something. She looked up suddenly and found that in the upper air, her "good friend" Wo Wo had been controlled by two Qingqiu foxes on the left and right.
In mid-air, the fox demon Wowo looked at the whale with eyes full of helplessness and apology.
The foxes in Qingqiu are all sentimental. After living with Jinghuan for such a long time, Wo Wo is willing to protect the former, not to mention that Xianxian and Jingjing are her sisters. How could she have the heart to stop them?
Xianxian and Jingjing also controlled Wowo while trying their best not to hurt him.
At this moment, as soon as Lu Sen and the other two landed, they immediately gathered together, took out wooden fences, and formed a square formation.
It happened so fast that the whales didn't even have time to react.
But she took another look and smiled: "Are you planning to use this as a base to stop my troops?"
After all, she was just an "ancient survivor" who was born in the ignorant period. She was sealed for a long time. After breaking the seal, she ran to the land of Xirong and lived on the island for hundreds of years with Wo Wo.
No matter how long a person lives, if he does not learn and see the outside world, his "knowledge" will always be limited to the past and not the present.
The same goes for Jinghuan. In her life till now, she has actually not experienced much. Apart from some 'basic' techniques of observing and moving qi, she has learned very little.
Therefore, she did not involve any knowledge of "array formations" and "exotic treasures".
When he saw Lu Sen setting up the square fence, he felt it was strange, but he didn't take it seriously.
She waved her hand, and a group of black and white demons rushed forward, but were blocked by invisible objects. They even rushed too fast, and the demons in the front and back actually collided with each other and were squeezed into a ball.
Then there was a thunderous sound like thunder from heaven, and the demons around the fence were blown to pieces. The broken limbs fell to the ground, and after a while they gradually disappeared like melting snow in spring, turning into spiritual energy and returning to heaven and earth.
Many demons took advantage of the explosion to rush forward, thinking they could attack a few mortals, but they were inexplicably blocked outside.
He was then killed by the fat man named Black Carbon and the couple.
Seeing a large number of demons die and his "good friend" being controlled again, a solemn look appeared on Jinghuan's face.
As mentioned earlier, although whales can absorb all the spiritual energy in the world, they are not very strong. The summoned monsters can deal with ordinary people as easily as cutting melons and vegetables, but it would be difficult for them to deal with cultivators with magic powers.
Otherwise, it would not have been sealed back then.
The only "trump card" was also controlled by the enemy, and there was no chance of winning.
Moreover, the solar boat in the sky lowered its altitude, and the bright light illuminated the entire island.
As Lu Sen said, Bilian, who stayed on top, activated the "war mode" of the solar boat. This "extreme yang" light has a strong suppressing effect on demons.
This is also the reason why there are many powerful monsters but they cannot play a big role.
No need!
Jing Huan sighed slightly in his heart, waved his hands to disperse the demons around him, and said: "You won, you can kill or chop me up as you wish, but please spare Wo Wo's life, she was abducted by me, this matter has nothing to do with her."
When these words were spoken, Lu Sen and others were a little surprised. They thought there would be a big battle next, but they didn't expect that the whale plague would give up resistance so easily.
Because the victory seemed to have come too easily, they were still unable to believe it and hesitated for a long time before walking out of the fence.
The soldiers of the Eastern Roman Empire at the back, seeing that the demons had disappeared, cheered, disbanded their formation, and began snatching the gems around them. The more beautiful and larger the gems, the more fiercely they snatched them, and there were even several small-scale internal conflicts because of this.
Jing Huan looked at these scattered barbarian soldiers, then turned his head to look at Lu Sen who was walking towards him, and laughed: "When did you Xia people mix with the barbarians?"
Lu Sen slowly approached and said with a smile: "Didn't your ancestors live in the barbarian land for hundreds of years? It seems that you are planning to divert the disaster away?"
Jing Huan snorted coldly, but he was still happy to hear that Lu Sen was willing to call him "ancestor".
Why was she sealed away back then? Wasn't it to gain a "clear name"?
Lu Sen called Jing Huan his ancestor just to conform to the way of addressing people in that era. After all, just based on the ambiguous relationship between Jing Huan and a certain person, any descendant of the Chinese nation would have to give her some face.
"You little guy, seem to have guessed my intention?" Jing Huan looked at Lu Sen with some confusion.
Lu Sen chuckled and did not give a direct answer. Instead, he asked, "What are your plans next, ancestor?"
Whale Huan said unhappily: "The captives still have a choice?"
"Although we, the younger generation, don't know what our ancestors are planning, at least so far, they haven't caused any harm to our Chinese land." Bao Zheng also walked out from behind the fence, and he walked closer with a square step: "Why don't our ancestors return to their homeland with us? It's much better than living alone in this barbarian land."
Jing Huan's expression was even more disdainful: "A foreigner from Xia Tu, can you still tolerate me?"
In her mind, she had such a big fight with that enemy that year, and in anger, she wanted to use external forces to destroy Xia land, and then she was discovered. Considering the degree to which the Xia people protected their country, it would be strange if they didn't hate her to death. If she really went back to Xia land, would she still have a way to survive?
Bao Zheng smiled and said, "If Master Lu can tolerate our ancestors, I think other people will not have any objections."
With these words, he directly put the "responsibility" on Lu Sen.
After drifting on the sea for so long, Bao Zheng has changed a lot.
The whale's gaze shifted to Lu Sen's face, somewhat unbelieving.
Does this guy have that much power?
Lu Sen originally planned to kill the whale plague, but now he finds that if he can 'recruit' the whale plague, it seems to be more beneficial. It will be a good thing not only for his own small force but also for the entire China.
"I can really guarantee this." Lu Sen thought for a while and nodded to Jing Huan: "If our ancestors can move the Fusang tree back to China, all the past problems will naturally disappear."
Whale pursed his lips, feeling somewhat moved.
To be honest, she had been staying in this place for a long time, and even with Wo Wo's company, she did feel a little lonely.
It’s just… I have been stubborn for so long, hundreds of years. You can’t just tell me to give in and I have to give in. That would be so embarrassing!
As if she had seen through what Jinghuan was thinking, Xianxian loosened her grip on Wowo and pushed him: "It's up to you."
Wo Wo understood, and immediately stepped forward, put his arm around Jing Huan's hand, and started talking in private.
When women talk in private in their boudoir, men naturally have to stay away.
Bao Zheng stood on a small dirt slope, looking at the Eastern Roman Empire soldiers who were still frantically snatching gems, and turned his head to ask: "Master Lu, how do we deal with these people?"
"According to the agreement, let them rob as much as they want first, and then let them leave the island." Lu Sen said expressionlessly: "After all, we Song people value integrity very much."
Bao Zheng frowned: "I am worried. These barbarians will not be willing to leave the island."
Lu Sen smiled: "It's not up to them. We have the final say on this matter. If they don't want to leave, it will be as I wish."
Bao Zheng understood and chuckled.
If it was in the territory of the Northern Song Dynasty, and the people to be killed were traitors from the Song Dynasty, and killing so many people at one time, Bao Zheng would think that Lu Sen had a murderous nature and it was inappropriate, but he really didn't take these barbarian soldiers seriously.
No matter how many die, they are just barbarians.
