Chapter 376: Town Fu Shi Lu Mingheng

The conditions set by Wei Guo are not much different from those set out before. They are still large sums of resources and spirit stones as gifts, and the ceding of a county in Hezhou did not add more benefits.
However, the ghost face spirit Chen Man, breaking through to the Dharma phase, dropped a heavy weight on the balance.
After learning this information, it is easy to think of why Wei Guo dares to act on Qi Guo so aggressively now.
The change in the external environment is of course an important factor. Daqin began their expansion strategy in the West of the world, and the mix was turned upside down. This will make many countries have to focus on Qin, and there is no time to talk about what Wei is doing.
The most direct ones are the two countries that originally bordered Wei State, Liang State and Chu State.
For Wei, this is indeed an opportunity to expand while Qin is expanding.
But if only this is the case, they still seem too bold and radical to act like this. In any case, there is Dayan in the north and Dawu in the south. If these two countries intervene, Wei's expansion plan is obviously very difficult to succeed.
But if Chen Man, the "Ghost Face God," has recently advanced to become a monk of the Dharma Stage, then the whole thing can be linked together.
One more aspect, which means that in the national war, Wei will have a very heavy weight that can affect the overall outcome of the overall situation.
The most concentrated performance lies in Yan Guo. After learning the news, he immediately became unmoved.
Isn’t it obvious when someone reveals this news?
This is a warning.
What's more, Xia Cang is not the only monk in the Faxiang Period owned by Wei. Generally speaking, from the perspective of various countries, most people tend to believe that Wei has two principles.
Of course Xia Cang was the one on the bright side, and he was very strong. But Wei Guo should still have a law, because all forces—not only the country—have some intelligence, and some actions should be made by Wei, which are suspected of being taken by the law but not Xia Cang.
When this kind of information accumulates, then in the Wei state, in addition to Xia Cang, there is a matter of law, which is quite credible. Even among various intelligence sources, some candidates can even be finalized: there are five Yuan Ying monks whose reputations are not usually revealed in the Wei Kingdom, and they are thought to be hiding their strength, which is the actual level of the law.
But these people do not include the ghost face Chen Man.
Although Chen Man had been considered a monk in the late Yuan Ying stage and even the peak of Yuan Ying for many years, he was not listed as a candidate for Dharma Stage in the various sources of information. Although he is very mysterious, he is actually not too old when he is considered old. According to another law of the earliest Wei state, when the signs were revealed, the ghost face was only in the golden age.
No matter how disguised it is, it will not be possible to pretend to be a golden core.
The fact that Ghost Mian Shen has become a Dharma Stage means that there are still two Dharma Stages that Wei may not show up yet.
Yan Guo went south? Only Master Yun?
What should I do if I bump into two other phenomena head-on?
If this matter can be confirmed, then Yan Guo's actions to go south indeed need to be considered more carefully.
But...Speaking of this, there is one more thing that cannot be ignored: Is Wei Guo deceiving people?
There was no corresponding news from the Jin Yiwei intelligence personnel lurking in Wei. After Lu Chaoxi notified Yun Xiaozong of the incident, they also said that they had not received any information in this regard.
This situation is very interesting.
It cannot be determined decisively whether the envoy of the State of Wei is lying, but at least this possibility exists.
If you are frightened by such a simple lie, then this matter will look very embarrassing; but if you don’t believe it, the result is true, and it’s not a good thing to hit your head and shed blood.
This matter has to be clarified.
Xiao Yunzong will use his intelligence capabilities to find a way to figure out this matter. Here in the Lu's court, Lu Wenen of course also got the order to figure out the truth.
In addition to the intelligence systems of the two major forces in the Yan Kingdom, there are also some sources of intelligence that can be used to testify.
Within two days, Lu Wenen met with the envoys of many countries in Yan.
The information that these envoys have is actually quite important. Even if some people are not very important, such as Chu Kingdom, they just sent a foundation-building monk over, but it doesn't matter. For things they don't know, you can contact the corresponding country behind them for inquiries.
There will be a lot of information gathered one after another.
For example, Qi Guo insisted that they had not received such information, and believed that Chen Man could not enter the Dharma phase so quickly.
For example, the envoys of Chu and Liang said that they were ambiguous. They thought it was possible, but they were not particularly certain.
Wu Guo said with certainty that Ghost Mian Shen might have broken through to the Dharma state.
These statements are very contradictory and cannot be trusted. Like Qi State, they were worried that Yan State would not send troops, so naturally they tried their best to deny this matter in order to dispel Yan State's worries. In this way, the credibility of their words is not so high.
The news from Chu and Liang was vague, and it meant to be mixed up.
Wu Guo's affirmative statement makes people wonder what their attitude is.
In the final analysis, all countries can only refer to what they say. There are too many stances in it. In essence, it is the same as the warning of the envoy of the State of Wei. They can only be passively listened to, but they cannot be used as a basis for decision-making.
On the one hand, Lu and Yun Xiaozong still have to continue their research, thinking about what they should do if they face multiple situations.
In addition, Wen En had also put all his energy to explore this matter.
The lurking Jinyiwei in the two countries of Qi and Wei began to shift their energy to deal with this matter. It’s okay on Qi State's side, mainly to check to see if Qi State’s intelligence system has got any information about Guimianshen.
In this matter, the most important force is definitely the Jinyiwei who is deployed in Wei State.
Lu Wenen looked at the south, silently thinking:
"Uncle Mingheng... it's up to you."
...
It has been nearly 20 years since Lu Mingheng joined Jin Yiwei. At the beginning, when he first entered Jinyiwei, he was only in the foundation period, but now, he is already a monk on the fourth floor of Qiming.
Speaking of which, his progress in cultivation is also extremely fast in the Lu family, which has produced many talents. This year, he was only seventy-three years old, and he had already reached the fourth level of Qiming, which of course was fast.
Of course, the Lu family still has a lot faster and stronger than him. But there is no imbalance in his mentality. Those true geniuses in the family have single-spirit roots and even heaven-spirit roots, but they are no more than double-spiritual roots, and their natural talents are a bit short. There is no way.
The road to practice, the talent is good, it really helps a lot, whether it is in the initial stage or the upper limit in the later stage.
But this world does not really say that talent can represent everything.
In the end, personal comprehension, opportunity, degree of effort in practice, direction of effort... these may be more important. Don’t you see, Zou Ziwu, the former prime minister of Great Swallows, was only the second spiritual root, but he stood firmly at the Yuan Ying level.
What's more, Lu Mingheng knew that he seemed to be a very special person.
When he was very young, in his early ten years, and when he officially started practicing, he always had some spiritual insights in his mind. Even he himself didn't know where this realization came from at first.
Later, as he grew older, whether he was his parents or others, they all said that he looked more and more like his grandfather, Lu Chaoheng, one of the ninth ancestors of the family.
The day when Chao Hengshou Yuan ran out was also when he was born.
In his opinion, this is a great fate.
And when he himself was a little older, he faintly felt that he was the reincarnation of his grandfather, and there would always be memories in his mind that did not belong to him but actually belonged to his grandfather.
He was frightened at first, wondering if he would become not himself someday? But later, as he got older and older, he found that it was only good for him and no harm.
These memories will not influence his own thoughts, nor will he change his temperament drastically. On the contrary, those spiritual realizations made him avoid many detours on the path of practice, at least at the level of Qi training, so that when he started on the path of practice, he walked very steadily. Not only did the progress of cultivation advance faster than the family monks who had better talents than him in the same period, but the foundation was also unexpectedly stable.
In addition to the benefits of cultivation, there is another point. After awakening many memories of his grandfather Lu Chaoheng, Lu Mingheng learned about the past of many families. Regarding the sufferings of the family, how difficult it is to go now. A deeper experience. At the same time, the memories of these predecessors also gave him a lot of insight and wisdom, allowing him to think more comprehensively and his personality will become more stable when thinking about things.
These are all positive benefits.
The rapid progress of the cultivation base made him avoid a lot of detours, and soon entered the foundation building period and even the enlightenment period. Although the experience and understanding are actually gone after the foundation building period, the road to practice is like this, one step fast, step by step. It's obviously helpful to start fast and steady.
At the same time, his more stable and rigorous personality also allowed him to perform well in various family affairs and made a lot of credit.
In addition, Lu Weiwen, who is nominally his nephew, but whose actual age is a dozen years older than him, often takes care of him a lot and intends to support him. He was also striving for himself, so after the advanced enlightenment period, he became a key member of the family, and he was also placed high hopes by the family as the star of hope in the future.
After entering Jinyiwei, he also made numerous contributions.
And such excellent performance has also given him more important responsibilities: seven years ago, he was only on the second floor of Qiming, and was assigned to Wei State to take over and establish Dayan’s intelligence system in Wei State. Was given the post of Jinyiwei Town Counselor.
Originally, this system existed. But after the great change of Yan State, the connection with the new domestic court became very problematic. When the Lu dynasty was newly established, domestic affairs were in a mess, and there was really not much energy to manage the intelligence system located abroad, and this matter was so stranded.
Fortunately, they themselves did not have much information about the new dynasty, and their loss of control would not cause too many problems.
However, the lack of intelligence system, this problem must be solved. Not long after Jin Yiwei was established, he was already working on this matter. Seven years ago, Lu Mingheng, one of the important members of the Lu family, was sent over.
According to the original plan, Ming Heng will stay in Wei State for about ten years. I have already prepared a lot of spiritual resources used during this period, so I don't need to worry too much about personal issues. And his task is to rebuild the intelligence system here and bring it into Jin Yiwei's management.
This matter does not need to be done from scratch, but the difficulty is not less than starting from scratch.
After all, the intelligence system of the former Yan State still has some legacy in Wei State. These inheritances can of course be inherited.
However, the new intelligence system cannot rely too much on the old. After all, the former intelligence personnel belonged to the old Dayan court. When Li Shiwen was preparing to make a breakthrough in the legal phase, he colluded with Wei Guo. It is difficult to keep how many of the former intelligence system of the Yan kingdom have been exposed. In Wei Guo's sight; even those that have not been exposed, there is the possibility of betraying Yan Guo and collaborating with the enemy.
The screening work is even more difficult than reconstruction.
But for seven years, Lu Mingheng has done a good job. The betrayers that should be dealt with have been dealt with; the ones that should be received have also been successfully received; the parts that he rebuilt can also function normally.
At the moment, the mission from Dayan is the first and most important test faced by the Wei State Branch of Jinyiwei led by Lu Mingheng. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com
After he took this task very carefully, he soon put himself into action.
Jin Yiwei is in the territory of Wei State. Where did you come from? You have accumulated some intelligence. A well-known Yuanying monk like Guimianshen, and people who had been associated with No-faces in Yan Kingdom back then, of course need to be focused on.
In this way, relevant intelligence collection is finally not starting from scratch.
After careful investigation, Lu Mingheng roughly figured out where the ghost face Chen Man was at the moment.
After confirming that there was no problem with the intelligence, Lu Mingheng left Xudu, the capital of Wei Dynasty, and headed southeast to Huhan County.
Huhan County is located a little south of the border between Xuzhou and Zhaizhou.
According to intelligence, Chen Man should live in a valley in the southwest of Huhan County.
