Naturally, there were people watching in the hall. When Zhou Chun broke Na Tie's palm bone, someone had already gone to report it. However, Wu Sangui told them not to pay attention to it and secretly wanted to investigate. Now that the two most powerful immortals had been refined into bones, they knew that something big had happened. Even Wu Sangui did not dare to make a decision on his own and went to find Wu Zhuan.
Not long after, the Great Ming Dynasty's Jinzhou Zhuan brought Wu Sangui into the hall. Wu Sangui was fine, as Wu Zhuan was the Great Ming Dynasty's Zhuan.
Although these martial artists seemed to be of virtue and prestige, looking down on nobles and officials, when faced with the Great Ming Dynasty's Zhuan who controlled tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, these lowly Jianghu people had to be humble. At the end of the day, the martial artists were still not presentable. In the Great Ming Dynasty, even a proper scholar who took the imperial examinations could look down on them.
Of course, these martial artists all had their own families and businesses. Their lives were far more comfortable than those poor scholars. It was just that they did not have any political status.
Everyone came forward to pay their respects to the Great Ming Dynasty's Zhuan. Only River Styx did not move. He sat at the side, as if waiting for Wu Zhuan to come forward and pay his respects. If River Styx really did pay his respects, it would be a joke. Even the two ghosts trapped in the Celestial Devil Diagram would look down on Wu Zhuan. He was merely a Great Ming Dynasty's Zhuan, a mere mortal who was only a hundred years old and had some power.
Even the most modest of cultivators would have the bearing of despising the nobles and the arrogant Marquis in their bones.
Even those in the world who didn't know much about alchemy and fire only respected him on the surface. There was no need to talk about how much they looked down on him. They tricked the emperors of the world into concocting pills and medicines. Not to mention that they took the opportunity to collect heavenly minerals and earthly treasures, they most likely refined some lead mercury medicine to poison those emperors to death. It was hard to say how much of it was intentional.
The Qin Emperor, Han Wu, had been tricked by Xu Fu into giving him five hundred young boys and girls and countless treasures. The other had even tricked his own daughter. It could be said that he had been tricked by Li Shaojun and Luan Da. Emperor Taizong of Tang died after taking alchemy and Emperor Taizu of Song conferred Miao Xun the title of Minister of Honor.
These were only unorthodox methods of drawing pills and taking medicine, yet they were able to fool the Emperor like this. It could be seen just how valuable imperial power was to cultivators.
Not to mention the countless kingdoms outside of Middle Earth. The Great Wilderness and the Four Extremities Wilderness were the lands of cultivators. The land of Xiankong Island's Ancestor Xiankong in the Northern Sea was even more vast than Middle Earth. There were countless hermit cultivators in the Great Eastern Wilderness, each of them had their own territories. The Old Devil in West Kunlun was like the emperor of the land there.
Even River Styx's original self was a figure who commanded the Four Seas and led the immortals. Although Chen Ang had only recently suppressed the South Sea Itinerant Immortals, it was not impossible for him to conquer the vast land overseas in the future and become the Four Seas Sect Master. There were countless sea nations under his command.
The territory of Mount Shu was vast. It was a huge planet thousands of times larger than the earth. The population of the Great Ming Dynasty was only ten times larger than that of Chen Ang's hometown. The vast land was a paradise for cultivators.
In comparison, a mere Great Ming Dynasty's commander-in-chief? Even if the people of Middle Earth perished and China sank, how many people would even bother to look at it?
This was the reason why the barbarians could steal the fate of the country and enjoy the country for hundreds of years. Not to mention the Universe's Six Freaks and the Green Wood Immortal, who viewed mortals as ants, even the Ming Dynasty's royalty like Cai Wei Seng and Zhu Yumu felt that their country was not as important as ascension. Even if Chong Zhen grabbed this ancestor's trousers and begged, if it was the Dao, he would probably be scolded, "Get lost, don't disturb my ascension."
Wu Zhuang seemed to have been a commander-in-chief for too long. He was flattered every day and forgot himself. He actually thought he was someone important. Seeing how disrespectful River Styx was, he frowned and thought to himself, "This young Daoist is so rude. Although martial arts are cheap and scholarly, with my status as the commander-in-chief, I have to treat the princes with courtesy … These people who don't belong to the secular world really don't have rules!"
Only Wu Sangui's mind was slightly clearer. He knew that the person in front of him was a ruthless person who would kill at the slightest provocation and grind bones into ashes. He secretly tugged at the corner of his father's clothes. Wu Zhuang then came back to his senses. He cupped his fists and said, "Everyone here is a pillar of our Great Ming Dynasty. Please forgive me for not being able to welcome you earlier!"
He continued, "Now that the northern captives are knocking on the border and the soldiers are surrounding the Da Ling River Castle, the border is in danger. Although General Zu Dashou is in charge of the Da Ling River Castle, it is not appropriate to capture a million people from the north. I hope that everyone will help the Great Ming Dynasty for the sake of the people of Middle Earth. I will not be stingy with my rewards. I will report this to the imperial court and reward you according to your contributions. Everyone, conferring the title of wife and son is the aspiration of a husband! "
Hearing that conferring the title of wife and son was conferred, River Styx and Li Ning did not have much reaction. However, the others were moved. Their eyes flashed. Although they did not show it on the surface, they were moved in their hearts. Only Li Ning and his brothers were slightly solemn when they saw the words' people of Middle Earth '.
Li Ning only cupped his fists and said, "What does Sir want us for?"
Wu Zhuang saw that success was imminent and did not care about Li Ning's rudeness. He smiled and said, "Now that Jinzhou has sufficient soldiers and rations, it is not difficult to rush to Da Ling River Castle's aid. However, that Slave Jian is best at besieging and attacking reinforcements, which is why I am slightly worried. If there is a righteous man who can sneak into the Da Ling River Castle under heavy military encirclement and contact General Zu Dashou for me and the two of us can cooperate and make Slave Jian return without success. "
When the people heard this, they did not care about Wu Zhuang's high position and were in an uproar. Someone secretly said, "Isn't this suicide?"
Hearing this, the others all nodded. Under heavy military encirclement, how could it be easy to communicate? Although their martial art skill was not bad, there were also strong men in the Jiannu army, not to mention the traitors of the Central Earth who used their martial art to become an official in the Later Jin Dynasty. Even if their martial art skill was as good as that of a deity, they would not be able to withstand the encirclement and suppression of more than a thousand elite soldiers.
These people were people who cherished their lives. No matter how nice they said it before, they were now evading the responsibility.
They came here to achieve meritorious deeds for glory, splendor and wealth. If they lost their lives, what was the use of glory, splendor and wealth?
Wu Zhuang saw that they were all evading the responsibility and looked like they were in a difficult position. He could not help but feel angry. Of course, he was not willing to 'sacrifice his life for the country', but now that the others were not willing to 'sacrifice their life for the country' to help him get promoted and make a fortune, he became angry instead. Of course, his skills were still a little shallow. If it was the officials of Middle East, they would definitely think of using this opportunity to obstruct the border army, suppress the officers and soldiers, and use culture to suppress martial arts. This would cause the border army to suffer heavy casualties and he would find a good way to get promoted and make a fortune.
As long as the country did not perish, he could report that the border army was in chaos and borrow the hands of Slave Jian to eliminate it! Not only would he not be at fault, he would also have meritorious deeds.
