Chapter 421 Things Change and People Change

The answer to this question is despairing.

Probably no one can really cure Champion Hou.

Words like invincible and invincible seemed to be tailor-made for him.

Countless prominent families in the world organized three large-scale counter-rebellions.

From young heroes to sages living in seclusion in the mountains and old forests, they all failed under the attack of the champions. Failure after failure made these famous people who used to be aloof begin to doubt their own superiority. Do they really have what it takes to be superior? Are they really better than ordinary people? The pride and reserve of these aristocratic families were shattered to pieces under Lu Mingfei's fist.

So some people began to move Yao. They turned their attention to where they came from and thought about the reason why the aristocratic family was an aristocratic family. Only then did they realize that many, many years ago, at the top of their ancestral hall, he was just a person who was no different from other ordinary people. Just ordinary people.

The aristocratic family also came out of ordinary people, but as time went by, they smeared more and more authority and sanctity on themselves, making themselves aloof and separated from the world.

But in the end, when all these smeared things were pulled away and returned to their original appearance, the children of the aristocratic family were surprised to find that they were no different from the ordinary people in the fields who had looked down on them before.

We all have two arms and two legs, we are all made of flesh and blood, and we all die when we are killed.

That's how change happened.

"My lord, someone wants to see you."

"Oh, who?"

"Yingchuan Wang Family."

Lu Mingfei raised his head and revealed Yaran.

The Yingchuan Wang family is not an ordinary family. Even if you look at the whole world, it is one of the top families.

Now is the time when the two armies are fighting. If he doesn't just stay with the famous family, why would he come to his side?

Lu Mingfei pondered for a moment and asked someone to bring him in. He was a middle-aged man with a long beard and a majestic appearance. When he came in, he saluted Lu Mingfei and said nothing to the others. .

"The Yingchuan Wang family is here to help the champion."

Lu Mingfei was very interested.

"Oh, I wish you a helping hand."

"Exactly."

This middle-aged man is the head of the contemporary Yingchuan Wang family. The purpose of his visit was just as stated in the first sentence, to wish the champion a helping hand. There is no calculation, no conspiracy. The Yingchuan Wang family sincerely surrendered to Lu Mingfei.

When Lu Mingfei asked them about crude oil, he just replied that good birds choose trees to roost in.

"Have you thought about the consequences?"

"Of course I've thought about it."

Lu Mingfei nodded.

"So be it."

This is the first example.

The news about the champion of Wangjiatou City in Yingchuan was like a huge boulder smashed into the lake, causing high splashes and shattering the calm water surface.

The world did not expect that the famous family that was supposed to be on a par with the champion would actually turn around and join the champion's side. This is different from previous wars.

The so-called aristocratic families are the ones who are best at hedging their bets. No matter which family the emperor comes from, will it still be the aristocratic family? But looking at the current posture of the champion, it seems that he wants to choose the latter between the aristocratic family and the common people. Anyone with a discerning eye can see clearly that the relationship between the aristocratic family and the people is inherently antagonistic. If the aristocratic family is strengthened, the people's life will be difficult, and if the people's life is prosperous, the aristocratic family will bleed.

Champion Hou obviously wants to take the latter path.

And the pace is quite large.

It is said that the relationship between the two should be like life and death enemies, but now they have come together.

People all over the world were talking about it. Some scholars may not understand the truth behind it, but people from the same aristocratic family soon came to their senses.

People all over the world were talking about it. Some scholars may not understand the truth behind it, but people from the same aristocratic family soon came to their senses.

They could think of the reason why the Yingchuan Wang family did this.

An aristocratic family can be passed down for hundreds of years, and its fundamental secret lies not in the so-called foundation and the so-called precipitation. But their vision.

History is like the rising and falling tide of a river. It has its own rules. No matter how amazing and talented a person is, he is just a small splash or a drop of water in this rising and falling tide, nothing more.

Individual power cannot influence the direction of history. What a truly smart person should do is not to reverse the historical trend or go against the will of nature, but to clearly see the direction of the historical trend, follow the trend, and use its momentum to achieve his own goals.

At first, the champion Hou Qibing seemed to them to be just another dynasty change, repeating what happened countless times before, nothing surprising.

But as time went by, more and more of the champion's behaviors were exposed in front of them.

The aristocratic families were surprised to find that the champion seemed to not only want to simply repeat the path taken by his predecessors, but also wanted to innovate a new future that was different from the previous centuries and millennia.

They found it incredible, and then shook their heads, thinking that young people really don't know how high the sky is.

In their view, the so-called champion, Lu Mingfei, is just one of the many madmen who can't see clearly both themselves and the world.

But subsequent developments proved them wrong, very wrong.

It was something that was completely impossible and had no hope of success.

In the hands of the champion, he actually moved towards success step by step, and saw that the final destination was in sight.

No matter if he is the enemy of the world, he will win.

This is really unreasonable and makes no sense.

The aristocratic families studied Lu Mingfei's achievements over and over again, eliminating all possibilities, and finally got an answer that was unbelievable and unbelievable.

The champion's ability to reach this level is entirely due to his personal bravery.

Some people say that unless your personal bravery exceeds the limits of this world, you still have to follow the rules of this world and act according to these rules.

But there happens to be a man here who is beyond the limits of ordinary life.

Not to mention that since the founding of the continent, even if you look at the history books, all the wars recorded in the history, all the generals and marshals, even the folk knights, etc., none of them can compare with the current champion.

He seemed not to be a mortal, but to have come from heaven.

When an individual's bravery reaches a level like Lu Mingfei's, and becomes the true number one in the world, invincible, then no one can violate his will, and what he wants to do will definitely be achieved.

In front of such a figure, don't mention any historical trends.

He is the historical trend itself.

After seeing this clearly, it becomes clear when we look back and think about the reason why the Yingchuan Wang family took refuge in Lu Mingfei.

…………

The capital is still the same capital as before.

It’s just that there are fewer parties.

Autumn is getting stronger, and the trees in the courtyard are all bare. The owner of the house did not let his servants clean them. He moved a wicker chair and sat on the dead leaves on the ground, looking in a certain direction, and sighed after a long time.

Although he has only received news from the Wang family of Yingchuan that he has defected to the champion, he knows very well that this is just the beginning, not the end, and he also knows what this beginning means.

The big week is coming to an end. Sure enough, as he expected.

Take the incident of Yingchuan Wang's head Chen Guanjunhou as a turning point. The situation of the battle suddenly changed. Originally, although it was supported by the femur, the imperial army still had some appearance. Now, it was better. The Wang family of Yingchuan seemed to be a signal. After him, various famous families came from the imperial court to where the champion was, with great strength. Under the circumstances of the one and the other, the contrast was even greater. The imperial army, which was already struggling to support itself, was completely defeated.

The atmosphere of war and chaos is like a plague, gradually spreading towards the capital at the feet of the emperor. Even in the capital, people are beginning to panic. More and more people are fleeing. Although they themselves don’t know where to flee, in short, they leave That's what's good here.

When Lu Mingfei arrived in the capital, the familiar scene of the past was gone forever. What appeared in front of him was a deserted and lonely city.

Lu Mingfei sat astride a white horse and looked at the city wall in the distance. He imagined that day when Eryi led him to break out of the encirclement set by the old emperor and narrowly escaped and ascended to heaven.

They were in such a state of embarrassment at that time. They were sleeping, leaving only Eri Yi and a woman struggling to support them. Behind them were the pursuers who wanted their lives. They suddenly felt like bereaved dogs.

Now that he is back here, behind him is an army with bright flags and numerous spears and halberds.

Thousands of emotions came to my mind, things were different and people were different.

Lu Mingfei stepped forward on horseback.

Someone came to stop him, and he said, "Master, no."

Today is different from the past. The champion is so noble, and his status is only one step away from the highest position. The wealth and life of many people are all dependent on him. Therefore, anyone can take risks, but the champion cannot.

"Step aside."

Lu Ming is not the way.

He glanced at the people in front of him.

"Do you think anyone else in this world can hurt me?"

Lu Mingfei saw their hesitant expressions.

I heard a boy's voice ringing in my ears.

He is smiling.

That's right, do you think there is anyone else in the world who can hurt my brother?

This voice and tone made Lu Mingfei feel vaguely familiar, as if he had heard it somewhere before.

This sense of familiarity is like the first time he met Eri Yi, and it is like the magnificent fantasy stories he and Eri put together together.

Could this sound be the same one I heard in a previous life?

Lu Mingfei thought in his heart.

He turned around and looked around, but couldn't find the figure he imagined. Lu Mingfei felt disappointed. He felt like something had appeared just now, and he almost caught it, but it slipped through his fingers.

The generals moved out of the way to allow Lu Mingfei to go to the capital alone and into the Minghuang Palace.

The sound of horse hooves ticking.

He was still in the bronze mask right away.

This scene is so similar to years ago. At that time, Lu Mingfei returned to Beijing and was granted the title of Marquis, and he paraded through the streets on horseback, enjoying an unparalleled reputation. Thousands of people crowded the streets, and people crowded around each other, just to see the handsome young marquis.

Now the alleys are empty, not only the alleys, but also the city is almost empty. Lu Mingfei is still sitting on the white horse, but he is no longer the young prince he used to be. He is about to become the leader of the world. Owner.

No need to push, the door is open.

This is the main hall that Dazhou usually uses for morning court.

Tall as a giant's dwelling.

Once upon a time, Lu Mingfei followed the civil and military officials and climbed up the stairs step by step amid the sound of the promise made by the handprint of the Supervisor of Ceremonies.

They stared intently at their toes, and no one dared to raise their head, even the most senior dignitaries.

The palace itself represents the authority of the emperor.

The so-called emperor is the one who is above all the people in the world.

At this moment, Lu Mingfei walked into this hall

Calm pace, calm look

The footsteps echoed in the empty hall and spread out, very far away, as if they were going back to the end of the world.

He walked past the position of the Minister of Rites, the position of the Heavenly Official of the Ministry of Personnel, the position of the Marquis of Weiwu, and the position where he once stood, and kept moving forward.

There are steps ahead

Lu Mingfei stopped, raised his head, and looked across the steps to the old man on the dragon chair at the highest point.

smiled

Lu Mingfei walked up with brisk steps

Finally he stopped in front of the old man.

This is the old emperor.

Lu Mingfei originally had a lot to say.

He wanted to ask the other party if he would regret it.

He wanted to ask the other party why he had to capture Eriki.

Just for his illusory dream of immortality?

He also wanted to ask him why he forced Marquis Weiwu to a dead end.

The stubborn old man kept saying that he was loyal to the continent and the world, not to the king.

But he still remains outside the Great Wall and refuses to return to the continent.

He never got over the hurdle in his heart.

Lu Mingfei wanted to ask the old emperor, if you are alone and alone, do you have to force yourself into the position of being alone to be satisfied?

He originally had many, many questions to ask.

That's how it was.

But now they are all gone.

Lu Mingfei raised his troops from outside the Great Wall, fought fiercely all the way, and finally came to the capital and in front of the emperor.

It should have been a great success and my long-cherished wish was fulfilled.

He just felt boring.

He looked at the wrinkled face of the old man in front of him, like the cracked earth burned by the scorching sun, and his pair of lifeless eyes without focus. In the huge palace, there were no maids, no eunuchs, and no concubines. , there was no prince, she was the only one sitting alone on this dragon chair, like a clay wood sculpture.

Lu Yunfei suddenly felt that this guy was actually quite pitiful. In today's situation, he probably wasn't a human being anymore and had become a puppet of power.

And...

Lu Mingfei exhaled.

"You are old."

he said.

The old emperor didn't react at all. He just smiled faintly and moved his lips.

Lu Mingfei's hearing was very good, and he could hear it even without being close to him. What the old emperor said was "I will become an immortal!"

Become an immortal?

Hahaha!

Lu Mingfei grinned.

He took off his sword, took off his armor, stretched his muscles and bones, helped the old emperor to sit aside, and freed up the dragon chair.

This is the position of the emperor.

Lu Mingfei sat down slowly.
