This martial saint's health bar is too thick

Chapter 499 Yesterday's Events Are Like Yesterday's Death

Feng Province, provincial capital.

Lu Mansion.

Lu Wenzhen sat alone in the study.

He had been sitting in the study all night, and overnight he looked much older.

"Master of the house."

An old butler came quickly to the study and said, "Everyone has been sent away."

Lu Wenzheng nodded, his voice a little hoarse: "Old Song, you go too."

The housekeeper named Lao Song looked determined:
"My Song family has served the master for generations. How can we abandon our master and leave?"

Lu Wenzhen didn't say anything, just waved his hand.

Old Song bowed to him and then left.

In the study, Lu Wenzhen picked up the wine on the desk, poured himself a glass, and drank it in one gulp.

The strong liquor went into his throat, so spicy that he shed tears.

He received information from Datong Prefecture yesterday afternoon and learned the final result.

Then he realized that the situation was hopeless and he could not turn things around!

He wanted to control Feng Province, relying on the layout and accumulation over the years and the use of force for deterrence.

The strongest forces in his hands are the more than 500 imperial camp soldiers from the provincial capital, the Qingshan Sword Sect, and the Hongyi University and Grandmaster Xu Jing.

As a result, the two martial arts masters of Qingshan Sword Sect and Xu Jing are now gone.

As a result, he could no longer control Qingshan Sword Sect and Hongyi University.
There were only more than 500 imperial soldiers left, and Lu Wenzhen was not sure he could maintain their morale.

So the deterrence through the use of force has failed.

Without the deterrence of force, no matter how many means are left, it will be impossible to control the situation.

At this time, Lu Wenzhen actually still had a chance to escape overnight and go north to seek refuge with the eldest prince and King Li.

But he didn't run.

After being abandoned by the Lu family and losing almost all external forces, the only bargaining chip in his hand was Feng Province.

Now that he couldn't take Feng Province and lost the most important bargaining chip, he was of little value to the eldest prince.

Lu Wenzhen can cooperate with the other party and participate in the next battle as an ally.

But as the head of one of the 'Ten Clans', he couldn't accept himself begging for mercy like a dog, hoping that the other party would take him in and then linger on.

I would rather marry girls from ten other families than marry into the emperor’s family!
Although this statement is a bit exaggerated, it also shows that the ancient families of the "Ten Clan" that have existed longer than many dynasties have almost abnormal self-esteem and arrogance.

So Lu Wenzhen did not choose to escape, but arranged for his family to escape, while he sat quietly in the study, waiting for the last moment to come.

Provincial government building.

A number of officials in the provincial capital also did not sleep well and were waiting anxiously.

They have not yet learned about the results of the battle in Datong Prefecture, but they have more or less noticed the movements of the Lu Mansion.

Lu Wenzhen is constantly sending his family away!
This was not a good sign, so all the officials were very nervous.

"Urgent order from the Central Government!"

An official suddenly rushed out of the office shouting, holding a telegram in his hand.

Soon, the entire government building was alarmed by the telegram from the center!
Soon, the contents of the telegram spread among all officials in the provincial capital:
"According to the report, Lu Wenzheng, the inspector general of Feng Province, has been blessed by the country for generations and has been a frontier governor. However, he dared to secretly form a group of traitors, privately store weapons, and conspire with Xu Jing, the president of Hongyi University, to commit treason and rebellion. His crime is unforgivable!

Marquis Jing'an has killed the traitor Xu Jing with his own hands!

Lu Wenzheng's post is dismissed immediately, and all his titles are revoked. Jing'an Hou Li Fei is ordered to take over Feng Province and exercise all military and political power. All officials and soldiers in Feng Province must obey his orders.

From the date of issuance of this order, anyone who is forced to follow the rebellion may be given a lighter sentence if he or she repents, lays down his or her weapons and surrenders.

If you still resist arrest with weapons and slander the ears of Heaven, then the royal army will point at you and strike you with thunder and lightning, and the rebels will be crushed to pieces, and it will be too late to regret!
"Heaven's will is clear, those who follow it will prosper, those who go against it will perish. Announce it to the world, let everyone know!"

This telegram from the central government can be said to have caused a huge uproar!

Many officials who could not see the situation clearly now fully understood what was going on.

Even the strongest grandmaster Xu Jing is gone. If Marquis Jing'an comes with his men to kill him, what can Lu Wenzhen use to stop him?
No wonder the other party arranged for his family to escape since last night.

Lu Wenzhen has given up and admitted defeat!

Even the leader Lu Wenzhen gave up, and the remaining followers, except for the diehards like the housekeeper Lao Song, naturally had no intention of resisting.

Some people who are more smart have already begun to prepare to welcome Li Fei to take over the provincial capital.

So these people took the initiative to attack Lu Wenzhen's loyal followers!
When Li Fei arrived at the provincial capital in the black boat, the entire provincial capital was in chaos.

He piloted the black boat and flew over the Lu Mansion.

Below, more than 400 imperial soldiers surrounded the entire Lu Mansion!
These imperial guards were not protecting the Lu Mansion, but pointing their weapons at it to prevent the people inside from escaping.

In addition, dozens of officials were waiting anxiously on the sidelines.

When everyone saw the black boat in the sky, they waved and shouted, very excited.

Li Fei landed the black boat.

Before he got off the boat, dozens of officials ran towards him quickly.

"Meet Marquis Jing'an!"

"My Lord, we have surrounded the entire Lu Mansion and not let anyone escape!"

"My Lord, we have captured all of Lu Wenzheng's followers!"

A group of officials said to Li Fei very excitedly.

Li Fei did not expect this result.

He was mentally prepared for Lu Wenzhen to run away with his men, or to put up a stubborn resistance.

But I didn't expect it to be like this.

He didn't need to do anything, all the enemies had been subdued!
"Someone tell me what's going on?"

Li Fei asked.

"Master Hou."

A man wearing a blue official uniform with the sun, moon and stars printed on his chest stepped forward with an almost flattering smile.

His name is Liang Xin, the head of the Feng Province Zhige Department, a 16th-level cabinet official and a martial arts master.

On weekdays, he is very close to Lu Wenzhen and is an undisputed "Lu Party".

But today, he was the first to step forward and take down Lu Wenzheng's confidant in the Zhige Department. He was also the first to lead people to surround Lu's mansion.

"This is the telegram sent by the Central Cabinet today. Please take a look."

Liang Xin handed over the telegram with both hands very respectfully.

He and Li Fei are both cabinet officials and martial arts masters, so this attitude is undoubtedly a bit too humble.

But Liang Xin knew clearly that the young man in front of him would decide his fate!

Li Fei took the telegram and read it, then he understood what was going on.

The central government asked him to temporarily take over Feng Province and control all military and political power.

This means that from the moment the order was issued, he had the power of life and death over the entire Feng Province!

Such power is even more exaggerated than that of Lu Wenzhen, the Inspector General!

Li Fei glanced at Liang Xin and understood why the other party was in this attitude.

He glanced at the officials behind him who looked nervous. These people were more or less related to Lu Wenzhen.

If I want to settle the score later, these people are likely to suffer!
"You have worked hard, everyone. Now you all should go back to your posts and don't let the provincial capital become chaotic any more."

Li Fei issued his first order after taking over Feng Province.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this, and bowed to Li Fei:

"As ordered!"

After the officials dispersed, Li Fei refused to be followed by the imperial army and walked into the Lu Mansion alone.

In yesterday's battle, almost all of his blood and soul were exhausted.

However, with the [Blood Breath], it didn't take long for Wanxuezhu to recover 50% of its health.

With more than 2000 blood souls on him, Li Fei dares to break in even if the Lu Mansion is a dangerous place!

Inside the Lu Mansion, housekeeper Lao Song stood quietly behind the gate. When he saw Li Fei, he bowed and saluted:
"Please follow me, my Lord. The master is waiting for you in the study."

"it is good."

Li Fei followed behind the other person.

This was his first time entering the Lu Mansion, and perhaps the last time.

The Lu Mansion seemed very deserted today, and there was not a single person in sight along the way.

After passing through more than a dozen corridors and several courtyards, Old Song brought Li Fei to the outside of Lu Wenzhen's study.

Li Fei immediately sensed that Lu Wenzhen was the only one in the study.

He strode straight in.

Lu Wenzhen looked up at Li Fei and smiled with relief.

There was a bottle of red wine from the Western Continent on his desk, but the bottle was empty.

His face was slightly flushed, and he was a little drunk.

"You're finally here. If you're not in a hurry to do anything, why don't you sit down and talk?"

Lu Wenzhen said to Li Fei.

Li Fei stepped forward and sat down in front of the desk:
"What do you want to talk about?"

After killing Xu Jing, the resentment and anger deep in his heart had diminished a lot, so now he could sit down and talk with Lu Wenzhen relatively calmly.

Lu Wen Zheng looked at Li Fei seriously. This was the first time he looked at this world-famous legendary marquis up close.

“When I set up a plan to frame Shangguan Xiao and target Hao Yi, my ultimate goal was to reach a cooperation with Xu Jing and help him break through and become a Grandmaster.

Otherwise, two Dao Foundation Stage warriors would not be worth my efforts to target. If I had known you were here, I would have given up Xu Jing and let you become a guest of honor in my Lu family. "

Lu Wenzhen looked into Li Fei's eyes and said seriously.

There is indeed a grudge between Xu Jing and Hao Yi, and Xu Jing cannot get rid of his inner demons unless he kills Hao Yi.

But there is indeed no fundamental conflict between Lu Wenzhen, Hao Yi and Shangguan Xiao.

If he had known that Li Fei would achieve what he has today, he would definitely give up Xu Jing without hesitation and choose to fully support Li Fei!

"What's the point of saying this now?"

Li Fei asked calmly.

"Yeah, it's meaningless now."

Lu Wenzheng smiled and shook his head, "I just feel a little wronged and aggrieved."

Who could have thought that after killing two Dao Foundation Stage warriors, he would end up offending someone like Li Fei?
How could the head of one of the ten great families end up in such a situation?

"I didn't run away. I'm waiting here for you to kill me. I only ask one thing of you."

Lu Wenzhen restrained his smile and said in a deep voice.

Li Fei: "Tell me about it."

He really didn't expect that Lu Wenzhen would not run away.

The other party must have a flying magic weapon in his hand. If he flies away with his people, he will have to work harder if he wants to take revenge.

"You should be able to easily find the people who participated in the murder of your master and his wife. If you want to kill them, I have nothing to say. But my son and daughter have nothing to do with this matter. I hope you can show mercy and let them go."

Lu Wenzhen said.

Li Fei did not answer directly, but asked: "What other cards do the eldest prince and King Li have?"

In addition to the Gouchen Sword Sect, he felt that the other party should have more powerful cards hidden, otherwise King Li would not have taken sides so easily.

Lu Wenzheng shook his head, looking calm:
"The other party did hide the cards, but didn't tell me. But I also got a lot of their secrets and know some of their subsequent plans. I'll use this information to save my son and daughter's life, okay?"

He knew that it would be difficult to impress Li Fei with just a few words, so he prepared the chips in advance.

"As long as I'm sure your son and daughter are innocent, I won't target them."

Li Fei made a promise.

He had no intention of punishing anyone.

Of course, he only promised that he would not target Lu Wenzhen's son and daughter, but with the crimes committed by Lu Wenzhen, the execution of his entire family was almost a foregone conclusion!
The imperial court will definitely not let the other party go.

Lu Wenzhen immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

Of course he knew that the imperial court would not let his family go, but as long as Li Fei did not strongly demand a complete extermination and did not target them, at least his son and daughter would have a certain chance of survival.

"Thank you."

Lu Wenzhen thanked Li Fei.

Next, the two had a secret conversation in the study for more than twenty minutes.

At a certain moment, Li Fei walked out of the study with a human head in his hand.

The sun set, and the sunset was as red as blood, illuminating the entire Lu Mansion in red.

7 month 8 day.

Li Fei was stationed in Feng Province and witnessed with his own eyes the execution of those who had participated in the murder of Hao Yi and Shangguan Xiao!

With the preliminary investigation done by He Jian and the active reporting by a number of officials in the provincial capital, Li Fei can be sure that no one has escaped the net.

"Master Hou!"

Inside the government building, Liang Xin came to the door with a happy look on his face and shouted to Li Fei.

"what's up?"

Li Fei looked at the other party.

"Central telegram!"

Liang Xin said this, walked into the office and handed the telegram over with both hands.

Li Fei took the telegram and read it:
"Although the ears of the emperor are high, there may be mistakes in oversight; although the emperor's mind is clear, it is difficult to avoid the flaws of obscurity. According to the review of the case by the Central Committee, the case of Shangguan Xiao, the former head of Xingcheng Zhigeyuan in Datong Prefecture, Feng Province, who colluded with the enemy and committed treason, is indeed an unjust case.

Special efforts were made to clear his name, restore Shangguan's original position, and posthumously confer the title of "Zhongping Bo"!
Her husband, Hao Yi, had a dignified character and upright conduct. Although he was not a member of the court, he personally practiced education and cultivated talents to serve the country.

Today, there is Jing'an Hou Li Fei, who is the most outstanding person in history, all of whom inherited the teachings of Lord Hao. Hao Yi is posthumously named "Marquis Yi"!
A white jade covered with dust will eventually reveal its purity; a green pine tree will stand proudly in the snow, showing its strength. All my officials should learn from this example. Announce it to the world, so that everyone will know it!

Looking at the telegram in his hand, Li Fei let out a long breath.

Shangguan Xiao's case was finally rehabilitated and she was cleared of all charges.

Not only that, she was posthumously named Earl of Zhongping.

Hao Yi was even more exaggerated. Not only was his crime of robbing the execution ground omitted, but he was also granted a title of nobility after his death despite being a commoner!
All this is just because Hao Yi has a disciple named Li Fei.

The second telegram issued by the Central Cabinet was also announced to the world.

So from today on, everyone in the world will know that 'Yi Hou' Hao Yi is the master of the number one genius in history!
On the evening of July 7, the 9th year of Hongguang.

Li Fei flew back to Datong Prefecture in the black boat.

He went straight to the hill where Shi Caiming lived and came to the tombstones of Hao Yi and Shangguan Xiao.

Two human heads were placed on the ground.

One for Xu Jing and one for Lu Wenzhen.

Li Fei knelt on the ground, looked at the two tombstones, and said in a trembling voice:

"Master, Master's Wife, your disciple has avenged you!"

After saying that, he knocked his head heavily into the dirt and didn't stand up again for a long time.

Not far away, Shi Caiming, who had only one arm left, watched this scene, feeling somewhat relieved and somewhat sad.

He turned and walked back to his own courtyard, leaving the space to Li Fei.

That night, Li Fei knelt in front of the tombstone and said a lot of things.
When the first ray of sunlight after dawn fell on the hill, Li Fei had stood up again.

He faced the direction where the sun was rising, watching the golden sunlight break through the clouds and coat everything with a golden glow.

At this moment, Li Fei felt unprecedented relaxation and peace.

Originally, due to his practice of magic, the foundation of the [Dragon Elephant] magical power was unstable, and his control over this magical power was obviously weaker than the other four magical powers. It took him a longer time than Xiao Tao did to push the power of the dragon and elephant to the extreme of 'Ten Dragons and Ten Elephants'.

But as his state of mind became brand new at this moment, Li Fei's control over the [Dragon Elephant] magical power actually increased a bit!
He turned and looked at the tombstones of Hao Yi and Shangguan Xiao, and an unprecedented bright smile appeared on his face.

Next, it’s time for a new battle!

Yesterday's various things, such as yesterday's death.

Please give me a monthly ticket~
