Ancestor Above Chapter 321

321 The Northern Expedition of the great Wei

Lu Qing hoped that the Yan Kingdom would be more chaotic.

Of course, this chaos could not be after the Yan Emperor became the Dharma plane.

Otherwise, it would be difficult for the Lu clan to take advantage of the chaos when the two Dharma lakas were fighting with each other in the country of Yan with the support of the Imperial court and Yunxiao sect, the top sect in the country of Yan.

Lu qingchang thought for a moment. The best scenario was that Yunxiao sect would have to spend a lot of effort in order to get rid of the Yan Emperor, li Shiwen. The entire situation in Great Yan would be in chaos, but li Shiwen would not be able to break through in the end. In this way, the power of the Imperial court could be reduced and thrown into chaos. However, it would be best if Yunxiao sect did not have the ability to immediately devour the reduced power of the Imperial court and give the Lu clan the chance to extend their reach to the South.

In order to achieve such a situation, he had to plan well.

Lu Qing did not plan to report the Yan Emperor immediately.

It was not a good time. Li Shiwen was still making preparations for his breakthrough. If he wanted to report him, he would have to wait until he officially started his breakthrough. That would be even worse.

Lu Qing did not know how long it would take to break through to the Dharma stage, but he knew that it would take at least a year. There was still plenty of time after this. Lu Qing would come over to take a look from time to time.

……

Lu Qing stayed on the cloud platform in the palace for a while. Nothing special happened. He returned to Wenen's vicinity.

Some time had passed since Lu Qing had thrown Zhao Guangxin and Guan leping out of the arrest Department with one move. This matter could not be hidden. Too many people had witnessed it, and it had basically spread throughout the entire Yan city.

Before this, many people thought that there would be a follow-up to this matter.

However, the truth was disappointing. The Zhao family and the Butler didn't do anything, at least not in the open these few days. It seemed that ever since the imperial family sent messengers to the three families to express their condolences, the matter had subsided.

The Zhao family and the Butler had clearly embarrassed their family head, but they did not look for trouble with the Lu family, whether it was in private or in the official circles. The Lu clan did not take any further actions. Lu Wenen, the left supervisor of the Supreme Court, had even started to go to the Supreme Court to work and return to work as usual.

Of course, there would still be some impact. In the Supreme Court, Wenen and Guan leping basically did not meet each other, mainly because Guan leping would deliberately avoid him. Moreover, although he was still the left supervisor of the Supreme Court, he didn't seem to have any specific work or responsibilities now.

Lu Wenen was not the only one in such a state. The other cultivators from the Lu clan and the Qingfeng sect were in such a state as well.

They didn't think much of it. They went to work at the government office every day, meditated, and cultivated. They would sit for a few days, then return to the government office for two days.

It was normal for the Zhao and Guan families to not take any revenge. After all, they had been warned by the royal family to ‘not cause any more trouble'.

The cultivation circle in Yan city paid attention to this matter for a few days. After no movement, they quickly shifted their attention.

After all, compared to the conflict between the Lu clan, the Zhao clan, and the Guan clan, there was something even more important that had happened. The Wei Kingdom was on a Northern Expedition.

The Northern Expedition this time had caused a great disturbance.

The great general of Wei State, Xia Cang, had made a public oath in xudu and personally led the Army North.

The great Wei Kingdom was different from the Yan Kingdom. In the Wei Kingdom, the power of the sects was not strong. Moreover, they were completely attached to and listened to the unified command and deployment of the great Wei Empire. The dignity of the royal family of Wei Kingdom was different from that of Great Yan.

The great general of the Wei Kingdom, Xia Cang, was a relative of the Wei Kingdom. He was also one of the most powerful people in the Wei Kingdom. He was also a Dharma adept and the number one expert in the Wei Kingdom. The battle that made him famous was the unparalleled battle with the Pope of the sacred religion of the state of Qi. It was also the only recorded and public battle between two Dharma plane experts in the past 300 years. It was said that Xia Cang had activated his Dharma form and transformed into a golden-armored general with an indomitable body. He fought a great battle with the Pope's Saint incarnation and ended the battle in a draw.

In the past, there were many wars between Yan and Wei, but most of them were surprise attacks or sneak attacks. They were eager to catch you off guard, so where would they have the time to declare war and hold an oath ceremony?

Moreover, in the past Wars between the two countries, no matter how intense the battles were, Xia Cang had never personally participated.

To a certain extent, this matter was also interpreted by others as the fact that the Yan Kingdom actually had a Dharma stage. Otherwise, why didn't Xia Cang go up?

However, it was different this time. According to the time, the Wei Army led by Xia Cang should already be on the way north. It wouldn't take long for them to arrive at their destination, the frontline of Pingzhou in Yan country, by the airboat.

The Yan Emperor had called for an emergency military meeting-of course, Lu Qing knew that the Yan Emperor who called for the military meeting was a fake-and the Yan Kingdom had also mobilized its troops urgently.

At the same time, the Yan Emperor also met with the Yunxiao sect envoy. The Yunxiao sect said that they were already mobilizing the cultivators at the border to form a defense line. At the same time, they would also mobilize the elites of the sect headquarters to participate in the battle at the front line.

From this, one could also see Yunxiao sect's contempt for the Imperial court and Royal family. Lu Qing saw with his own eyes that the Yunxiao sect sent an initial enlightenment cultivator to talk to the Emperor about this matter. His attitude was at most respectful, but his words seemed to represent the orders from the higher-ups, asking the Imperial court to prepare supplies and troops to support Pingzhou and listen to the unified command of Yunxiao sect.

In other words, you just have to do a good job of providing logistical support for me. You don't have to worry about other things. Our Yunxiao sect will take care of the battle and the arrangement of the defense line.

Lu Qing clicked his tongue in wonder.

No wonder the Yan Emperor, li Shiwen, wanted to break free from Yunxiao sect's control. What was the taste of being an Emperor? If Lu Qing was in that position, he would have had the same thought.

However, Lu Qing did not think that the war would really start.

According to the communication between the Yan Emperor and the Wei Messenger, the Wei's Northern Expedition was essentially an invitation by the Yan Emperor. The two emperors had a tacit understanding before. This should be li Shiwen's backup plan. He hoped to create pressure on Yunxiao sect through the Wei Kingdom's Northern Expedition and general Xia Cang's personal appearance so that Yunxiao sect would have no time to care about his matters under the heavy pressure of the Dharma plane experts.

However, Lu Qing also felt that things might go out of hand. Why would the Wei Kingdom sit by and watch as the Yan Kingdom produced a new Dharma laksana? If the Imperial court of the Yan Kingdom and Yunxiao sect were to fight internally, why did they not take this opportunity to turn a fake invasion into a real one?

The Yan Emperor should have a backup plan.

No matter what, something had happened at the front line. Lu Qing felt that it was very necessary for him to obtain first-hand news from the front line.

Excluding himself, the situation in Pingzhou played a crucial role in the success of the Yan Emperor's breakthrough.
