"The first ability is changeability. After ordinary bows are manufactured, the tension is fixed, but this Nether Bow is different. Its tension and power will change with the changes in the user's strength. There is a huge difference between your normal strength and your violent strength. It is troublesome to switch between three-stone and five-stone bows. With this bow, you can save the trouble of changing bows. The maximum tension of this Nether Bow is about ten stones. I am looking forward to the day when you can reach the limit of this bow."
"The second ability is force field. The arrows it shoots out will turn into force field damage. This is the rarest and most valuable type of damage, more noble than elemental damage. Force field damage can ignore most damage reductions and has no miss rate when attacking ghosts, incorporeal bodies, or elemental targets like Gongsun Zan and Zhang Liao. As long as it can hit the target, it can cause damage. It can even penetrate the wind wall that blocks long-range projectile weapons!"
"And the third ability is piercing. The arrows shot out of this Netherworld Bow will pass through all living things hit like ghosts, causing the same damage to everyone in the arrow's flight path! Shooting at the enemy formation is like a string of candied haws. With this Netherworld Bow, I wish you that there will be no enemy in the world that you cannot shoot down."
"Thank you, Master!"
Lu Bu bowed respectfully and thanked his master for the gift from the bottom of his heart.
Lu Zhi picked up another halberd and placed it in Zhang Liao's hand. This halberd looked like a standard weapon of the Han Dynasty and there was nothing special about it, but it emitted a faint silver light and there seemed to be a huge bubble on the blade.
"You little thunder devil are quite interesting. It took me a long time to forge a weapon suitable for you. Come! Try the dance!"
Zhang Liao waved his halberd in confusion, and found that the huge bubbles on the halberd blade instantly turned into raging waves, accompanied by the halberd blade flying and spinning, making a rustling sound. The strong waves even pushed the halberd blade to spin faster and faster! Liu Zhuang, who was next to Zhang Liao, was splashed with water.
But the next second, Liu Zhuang, who was splashed with water by the waves, found that his clothes were dry again - every drop of water followed the long spear away from him and did not stay for too long.
"This Thunder Tribulation Halberd also has three enchantments. I specifically named it after your dragon blood talent because only you can bring this halberd to its full potential."
Lu Zhi said with relief.
"The first is the bombardment, which is the raging waves of the blue sea wrapped around the halberd blade. I used magic to permanently fix this group of waves on your halberd blade, and it cannot be removed. The raging waves of the blue sea make the halberd swing with great force and weight, and it will cause a large amount of additional physical damage to the target."
"The second is Thunder Fury. I mixed a small amount of silver into the halberd blade to improve the conductivity of this weapon. The halberd shaft is also made according to the standards of the Thunder Staff. As long as you use this weapon to launch a thunder-attribute attack, the damage will be doubled by times."
"And the third one... can't be considered an enchantment. It's just a small discovery I made during my years of studying magic. When you use this halberd to attack a target, the target will fall into the [Thunder Vulnerable] state and take an additional times the thunder damage."
Lu Zhi stroked his long beard, showing off his knowledge.
"Thank you, teacher! But why can this halberd inflict the [Thunder Vulnerability] status on the enemy?"
Zhang Liao touched the halberd and liked it very much, but he also had some doubts.
"Salt. I added a lot of salt to this sea of turmoil. Salt water is much more conductive than ordinary water. If you throw your halberd at someone's face, his whole body will be hit and soaked by the salt water waves. Some monsters that are immune to lightning will be electrocuted by this thing. I have personally tested it."
Lu Zhi said this proudly as he took out the last weapon and handed it to Liu Zhuang. It was a long spear that was completely black. The shaft was three meters long and the blade was one meter sixty long. It looked very ordinary. It did not have the majesty of Zhang Liao's halberd wrapped in the raging blue sea, nor the ghostly and terrifying look of Lu Bu's longbow. The whole spear was completely black, and no one knew what material it was made of.
“As for you, Zhang Liao and Lu Bu are not serious spellcasters, so you need to work hard on your weapons. One uses force fields to make up for hits, and the other uses thunder and water damage to make up for damage.
You are a scholar of ancient literature. As long as you continue to improve your knowledge and learn more Confucianism, hitting and damage will not be a problem. So your weapon is relatively simple. I will name it Night Spear. "
Liu Zhuang took the lance with doubt. It looked like a lance made of black fine steel. However, it was much better than his own, and was considered the best of the best.
However, when his pupils fell on the spear, Liu Zhuang gasped: This is not a spear, but twelve strange objects that have been reshaped and fused together! Twelve Night Branches!
"I reshaped your spear by fusing twelve Night Branches. This artifact is quite simple. One Night Branch can increase the number of times you can command demons by +4. Twelve Night Branches can increase the number of times you can command demons by +48. Are you practicing the sacred super magic I gave you?"
"Although I haven't fully mastered it, I can already use it in a preliminary way."
Liu Zhuang immediately realized the value of this thing. Super magic spells consume a lot of mana, at least an additional 2 points of mana.
Professor Lu Zhi's own [Holy Super Magic] technique can use the number of times the demon is commanded to replace the consumption of spell super magic.
Unfortunately, I can only command demons three times a day, but now with this spear forged from twelve night branches, the number of times I can command demons has increased directly from 3 to 51! I don't have to worry about the high mana of the super demon. This thing looks ordinary, but it is a great helper for my super demon to cast spells! An extremely powerful external magic storage organ!
"By the way, Liu Zhuang, you have been promoted to the position of Sima of a different department, but you still don't have your own name?"
Lu Zhi suddenly thought of something.
"I am nineteen this year, and I have not yet held the ceremony of coming of age, so naturally I have no name."
"Nineteen, only half a year away. As a Sima of a separate department, you have already started to come into contact with the aristocratic families of Jizhou. Without a courtesy name, it is always inconvenient for others to call you. Calling you by your name is rude, and calling you by your official title seems a bit distant. As your master, I will give you a courtesy name in advance today."
Lu Zhi thought carefully.
"Your name is Zhuang, which is the same as Yan, and can also be extended to mean grand and a road that leads in all directions. You have climbed up from a commoner through hardships and climbed here. As your teacher, I wish you can follow the road that leads in all directions and rise higher - Liu Zhuang, with the courtesy name Yansheng."
"Thank you, Master, for your inscription."
Liu Zhuang thanked him respectfully and from today on, he also had a name, Liu Zhuang, Liu Yansheng.
Chapter 89: Farewell in the Rain
Happy times are always fleeting. Liu Zhuang and others studied martial arts, tactics, benevolence and morality with Lu Zhi for a month, and all of them made great progress. Liu Zhuang did think about recruiting them, but after spending a month with Liu Bei and others, he came to the conclusion: Liu Bei would never be under someone else's command for long. Like Gongsun Zan, when troubled times come, they will only be masters, not ministers.
As for Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, just as Zhao Yun could not leave them, they could not leave Liu Bei either.
On May 30th, Lu Zhi even held a cocktail party, inviting all the aristocratic families in Jizhou to attend the banquet and introduce his disciples to these Jizhou heroes. For the sake of Lu Zhi's face, the Jizhou families also praised Gongsun Zan, Liu Bei, Liu Zhuang and others.
Liu Zhuang looked around and found that these people were all famous Confucian scholars, including Ju Su of Guangping, Tian Feng of Julu, Shen Pei of Weijun, and Cui Yan of Qinghe.
And after introducing his disciples to the famous families in Jizhou and getting to know each other, he even distributed the teaching materials he had compiled to everyone and asked everyone to practice according to what was written on them. Everyone felt a little uneasy, wondering what was wrong with the teacher.
Although Liu Zhuang knew what would happen in the future, he could do nothing about it. This matter was beyond his ability. It was a total outbreak of conflicts between the imperial eunuchs and the aristocratic families. Although he tried to persuade the teacher privately, the teacher was extremely stubborn and refused to change: "You want me to bow my head like a eunuch? Dream on!"
The only thing to be thankful for is that the emperor did not dare to kill a Confucian leader like Lu Zhi. As soon as the Yellow Turbans were defeated, he immediately issued a general amnesty and released him, thus compromising with the aristocratic families.
On June 1st of the seventh year of Guanghe, there were howling winds and heavy rains. The entire army stopped training and everyone, except the unlucky guys on daily patrols, hid in tents to rest. Liu Zhuang also hid in a safe tent, listening to the sound of wind and rain outside, and taught Tuoba Yun all the priest skills he had learned, allowing her to become more advanced in the way of blaspheming priests.
At this moment, suddenly a large number of figures flashed in the rain. One of the black shadows rushed to his tent and opened the tent. Liu Zhuang turned around and found that it was Zhang Fei. She was soaked by the heavy rain outside. Her wet black coat stuck to her chocolate-colored skin, outlining her round and sexy curves. Her long black hair was also soaked by the rain, and kept dripping down.
"Brother! Something big happened! Come quickly!!!"
"What happened? Why are you so flustered?"
Liu Zhuang immediately picked up a rain hat and draped it over Zhang Fei's shoulders with concern, covering her wet body, feeling a little uneasy in his heart.
"Oh no! Several more eunuchs from the imperial court have arrived! The teacher has been put into a prison van by these eunuchs!"
"what?"
Liu Zhuang's face turned pale with horror. Lu Bu, who was lying beside him reading a book, also jumped up. At this moment, several people did not even bother to put on raincoats. They immediately rushed out of the tent and broke into the rain. The cold raindrops still soaked them all. They followed Zhang Fei to the parade ground.
A hundred eunuchs wearing rain cloaks and bamboo hats surrounded a prison van. Lu Zhi was stripped of his official uniform, leaving only a thin piece of clothing on his old body, which was now completely wet by the rain. He was locked in the van with heavy shackles and shackles around his neck and hands. The cold rainstorm penetrated the iron bars above the van and soaked him completely.
"How can you treat a 60-year-old man like this?! Even if the Northern Army General is really guilty, at least give him a carriage to shelter from the rain! Or a bamboo hat or a straw raincoat. You eunuchs, let the Northern Army General get wet in the heavy rain like this???"
Besides the one hundred eunuchs, there were a large number of soldiers who had heard the news and surrounded the eunuchs in anger. They didn't know why the respected General of the North was convicted and imprisoned.
Gongsun Zan was even more furious at this moment. He directly summoned his own frost dragon, rode on the dragon's back, blocked the way of all the eunuchs in the rain, and angrily questioned these eunuchs in Luoyang, his voice even drowned out the rainstorm.
"Get lost, you little brat from the Gongsun family."
An eunuch spoke impatiently in an extremely feminine and sharp voice.
"How dare you question His Majesty's decision? If you don't give way, I'll arrest you too!
It just so happens that I heard that you once gave up your position as a minor official and accompanied Liu Ji in the prisoner's carriage to Lingnan. How about you also give up your position as county magistrate and military commander and accompany Lu Zhi in the prisoner's carriage to Luoyang?"
"white!"
Gongsun Zan was so angry that he actually gave the demon dragon a direct order to spit dragon breath. However, before the demon dragon opened its mouth, a creepy dragon might came from inside the prison car, scaring the young dragon so much that it retreated repeatedly. Gongsun Zan took a closer look and found that the source of the dragon might was actually his master Lu Zhi.
"Gongsun Zan! Have you forgotten what I taught you these days? Go back and lead your Yanshan Camp!"
"I--"
Gongsun Zan was extremely upset by his master's scolding. He held the double-headed spear in his hand and still refused to retreat. He even took a charging posture. Guan Yu was furious and wielded the crescent-shaped sword. Zhang Fei also took the starting posture of Mo Feng in anger. The horrifying murderous intent gushed out from Lu Bu, sweeping across the field like a tide! Zhang Liao had transformed into a thunder tribulation of heavenly power, and the terrifying lightning illuminated the dark rain curtain like daylight.
For a moment, all of Lu Zhi's disciples were ready to break into the prison.
Even though Liu Zhuang was familiar with history and knew that his teacher would only be stripped of his military power and released after a few months of symbolic imprisonment if he returned to Luoyang, he could not suppress his anger at this moment. He held the night spear in his hand and began to blaspheme the priest's magic - this was too fucking bullying. It's fine to make up a crime, but you're doing this to a 60-year-old man? Are you really going to let him return to Luoyang alive? !
A closer look reveals that the fighting power of these eunuchs is very average, only level five or six, but their equipment is extremely luxurious. The Han Emperor has invested all of the Han Dynasty's wealth in these most loyal and beloved eunuchs. The strength of these people is built up by rare objects, and their own talents and fighting power are not high.
On our side, we have Lü Bu, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and Gongsun Zan. Why should we be afraid of eunuchs? Liu Hong can live for another four years at most. At worst, we can snatch our teacher back and run to the border of Dingxiang for refuge! We can come back when Liu Hong dies and the Han Dynasty collapses! Who is afraid of whom?
"Calm down, everyone!"
When the battle was about to break out, Liu Bei suddenly stretched out a pair of snow-white dragon wings. He forced back Guan Yu and Zhang Fei with his left wing and stopped Lu Bu, Liu Zhuang and others with his right wing.
Liu Zhuang frowned and looked sideways, seeing that Liu Bei was also extremely angry at this moment, with his hands clenched into fists, his nails digging into the flesh, and even tears of blood on his beautiful face.
"Like you, I also want to rescue the teacher, but if we hijack the prison van now, the teacher's crime will be confirmed."
Liu Bei clenched his teeth so hard that his lips were bitten by his teeth, and his voice was trembling with anger. It was unclear whether he was trying to persuade his fellow junior brothers and sisters, or trying to persuade himself who was also unable to hold back his anger.
"The teacher is a role model for the world and a Confucian leader. He does things in an upright manner and has not violated any laws. Your Majesty wants to convict the teacher, but it is not that easy! But if we hijack the prison van here, the teacher will be a real fugitive. Do you want to destroy the teacher's lifelong reputation?
Besides, if the teacher wants to run away, these eunuchs and their shackles can hold the teacher back???"
Guan Yu and Zhang Fei put down their weapons in anger, looking at those damn eunuchs with their eyes wide open. Liu Zhuang and Lu Bu were also helpless. Gongsun Zan also gave way with great frustration. A group of people stood in the rain, silently escorting their teacher's departure. However, they were still soaked by the heavy rain. A feeling of powerlessness rose in everyone's heart.
If, if we had more troops, stronger power, and greater say, how could the teacher be kidnapped by a group of eunuchs.
Seeing it in a book and seeing it in reality are really two different experiences. The eunuch party in the late Han Dynasty had grown to an extremely crazy level. The eunuchs raised by the emperor could even directly put generals who were fighting abroad and put them back to Luoyang in prison carts.
After all, Yue Fei still had twelve golden medals to invite him back!
"Oh, right."
The eunuch walking at the end, in front of the disciples and the Guandong families who were seeing Lu Zhi off, spoke the second half of the imperial edict in a sarcastic tone, which immediately made these families' faces turn black.
"Your Majesty promotes Hedong Governor Dong Zhuo to General of the Eastern Army, and he is leading the three battalions of troops from Guanxi to lead all of you to wipe out the last remnants of the Yellow Turbans. You must listen to Dong Zhuo's orders."
Chapter 90: The Loyal and Good Governor Dong of the Han Dynasty
Watching the eunuch's receding back, Liu Zhuang discovered that there was something wrong with the faces of the great scholars around him. They were all from local aristocratic families in Jizhou, and they had brought their servants and followers to follow Lu Zhi to fight the Yellow Turbans.
They were just grieving, mourning the passing of Lu Zhi and angry at the eunuch's actions.
But when the eunuch said that Dong Zhuo would be the General of the East and command the three armies, the faces of these great scholars from aristocratic families suddenly became as uncomfortable as if they were constipated.
"My Lord, what happened to you?"
Liu Zhuang was a little confused. Wasn't it Dong Zhuo who took over the task of exterminating the Yellow Turbans? Now she was still a loyal minister of the Han Dynasty, not the big devil in the future?
"You stinky Liangzhou guy came to our Guandong to beg for food."
Several noble families snorted coldly and simply and clearly stated their attitude towards the people of Guanxi.
“You youngsters, be careful. The people of Guanxi are barbaric, bloodthirsty and warlike. The Seventh Qin King’s desire for victory, blood, killing and war has turned into a curse on the entire land of Guanxi. The remaining poison of the evil god has not completely dissipated until now.
Not only that, Guanxi is poor and backward compared to Guandong. Guanzhong is a little better. Dong Zhuo and his stinking Liangzhou people are just monkeys! Your Majesty let a monkey in clothes and hat lead us? This is deliberately disgusting us Guandong families!
"Under the leadership of Lu Zhi, our Guandong family has almost defeated the Yellow Turbans. Now, Your Majesty wants Dong Zhuo, a Liangzhou native, to come and pick peaches? No way!!!"
After the eunuchs and the prison cart escorting Lu Zhi disappeared from sight, the noble families left in anger and used their connections to get Lu Zhi in front of the emperor.
Well, by the way, let’s think about how to deal with Dong Zhuo and these damn people from Guanxi.
Liu Zhuang was a little surprised. Is the regional discrimination in Kanto and Kansai so exaggerated?
-------------------------------------
Hedong County - Huo County
"Mother, mother! A decree of grace has come from Luoyang!"
A majestic female general wearing iron armor hurriedly entered the inner house with the imperial edict, but was stopped by a pretty girl. She was very cute, but there were two traces of blood in her pupils that could not be erased. She spoke in a baby voice with her pink little mouth.
"Mother, grandma has been fighting the Yellow Turbans in Huo County for two days. She finally has time to rest. Please don't wake her up."
"Hey, Dong Bai, go play somewhere else. This is an important matter for the court and we can't delay it!"
The female general picked up the cute little girl, put her aside, and then continued to rush into the inner house, where she saw a beautiful woman who was three meters tall, lazily lying on the bed and taking a nap. She looked kind and gentle, and even when she was asleep, her brows were full of kindness and doting on the younger generation. She had a charming and affectionate face, and looked as young as a girl. You couldn't tell that she was already a grandmother. Only through the mature and charming look in the corners of her eyebrows could one notice the inharmoniousness between her temperament and appearance.
Her tall, beautiful and voluptuous body was even more surging, with pieces of white, soft flesh and seductive curves faintly visible under the almost transparent satin pajamas. Her huge breasts and fat buttocks propped up the thin pajamas, forming a series of magnificent and erotic arcs, and everything that should and should not be exposed was clearly visible.
Two beautiful legs tightly wrapped in white stockings overlapped together. The thin white silk, outlining her slender and round legs, created a series of moving curves, while the purple ribbons were deeply tied into the tender flesh of her thighs and waist, fixing the stockings so that they would not fall off. In addition, the underwear made of thin ropes and thin cloth, which was directly tied into the plump buttocks, also made this beautiful woman who was taking a nap look even more lustful.
The difference between the mature and voluptuous sexy body and the youthful and beautiful delicate face is extremely huge, but they are almost perfectly integrated together in her. Her kind face radiates the loving maternal glow.
"What's the matter?"
After being woken up, Dong Zhuo slightly opened his scarlet eyes. The blood-red murderous light in his eyes was exactly the same as Dong Bai's.
She looked at her third daughter Dong Yuan in confusion. In the dark shadows of the room, the eyes of both of them were flashing with crazy bloodshot light.
"Mother! The imperial court has issued an order! His Majesty has imprisoned the Northern Lieutenant General and sent him back to Luoyang. He has then ordered you to be the Eastern Lieutenant General, commanding the Northern Army's five battalions and the Henan troops to go to Jizhou to quell the rebellion and wipe out the Yellow Turbans!"
After receiving the transfer order, it was not only the Hedong family who were surprised, but Dong Zhuo himself was also shocked. His pair of squinted bloodshot eyes suddenly opened completely because of shock.
Huh? Didn't Lu Zhi defeat the leader of the Yellow Turbans? How come he was captured and brought back to Beijing? And then I was asked to lead him to fight the Yellow Turbans who were on their last legs? I was asked to pick peaches? ? ?
Never mind all that. If you don't take advantage of an opportunity, you're a bastard. Call for the troops! Call for the troops!
Dong Zhuo immediately stood up from the bed. His tall and beautiful body stood in front of Dong Yuan like a tall tower. Two huge soft bodies cast a round shadow from the sky, completely covering her. With the help of several maids, she slowly put on the chain mail from the Western Regions, and then put on the big man's basin-collar armor.
The face of General Dongzhong, who had a kind face like an angel and a body as stunning as a devil, turned into a majestic female general under the contrast of the heavy black iron armor. It was the kind eyes on her face that made her less murderous but more compassionate.
However, if she was completely immersed in darkness where her face could not be seen clearly, then others could only spot her eyes in the huge three-meter-high shadow, flashing two terrifying flashes of blood.
Under Dong Zhuo's order, the men of Guanxi gathered to respond. The Qin army that once swept the world had become the Guanxi army of the Han Dynasty, and the Longxi camp in Dong Zhuo's hands was also a part of it. Four thousand warriors from Liangzhou were armed to the teeth and, under the dark flags, formed a solemn and murderous mighty army formation. The sound of war drums and horses neighing was like thunder in the ears, and long spears and halberds turned into a dense steel forest that stretched to the end of the vision.
