Nine Turns of Nirvana

Lu Yu did not stay in Julu City for too long. Soon Zhou Zunian took stock of the team and escorted him back to the capital.

After all, the grand wedding of Princess Gaoyang is a major event celebrated by the whole country. There are many preparations that need to be done in advance, including the specific steps and procedures of the wedding, which Lu Yu needs to be familiar with in advance.

In addition, there is a more important step. Although Emperor Dawu has appointed "Hateful Blood Demon King Tie Yi" as the candidate for his consort, he still needs to go to the palace to prove his identity and thank the emperor for his great kindness. That's what really works.

It's really ridiculous to talk about this matter. No one in the entire Dawu court is familiar with his role. Just because he killed Gao Zhengbang in Wuyang City and showed extraordinary strength, he became the candidate for the prince's consort. , I don’t even know whether I am tall or short, fat or thin, old or young... I don’t even know whether I am real or fake, but I have been selected as the prince consort. This is really It's a bit too hasty...

In other dynasties, such a thing would never happen, but in the Dawu Dynasty, the country was founded by force, and it has always been believed that force is the most important thing. Therefore, those with strong force are born with a transcendent status.

Although Gao Zhengbang, the original guard of Ouchi, died in his hands, the competition between the two was an upright contest without any conspiracy. Therefore, officially, Lu Yu cannot be held responsible for the murder. Even if some of Gao Zhengbang's disciples and grandsons are resentful, the only way to get revenge is to challenge Lu Yu face to face. Otherwise, it would be public revenge and private revenge, which is unreasonable.

It is precisely for this reason that Gao Zhengbang's disciples and disciples have not swarmed Lu Yu and attacked him in groups.

Such rules have both good and bad sides. The good thing is that everyone is martial, which makes the country strong, but the bad thing is that sometimes this can become a fetter.

For example, take Princess Gaoyang as an example. As a woman, she was able to rise to become the commander-in-chief of the border army. The factor of respecting military force may have played a role in it. However, it was also because of the respect for military force that she now I have to take off my military uniform, put on my wedding clothes, and become the wife of the "Heaven-Hateful Blood Demon"...

I have to say that there is a certain irony in this...

"Although His Majesty has already eloquently appointed you as the candidate for the Prince Consort, there are still some necessary examinations. Only in this way can you prove that you are indeed a good match for Princess Gaoyang, otherwise you will be criticized..."

"The content of the test is nothing. The key is the last level. You must defeat Her Highness Princess Gaoyang with force, so you will need to compete with Her Highness Princess Gaoyang in person at that time... But Young Master can easily With the strength to defeat Gao Zhengbang, it should be a piece of cake to win this competition.”

On the way to Kyoto, Zhou Zunian told Lu Yu the crucial step of the entire wedding.

Lu Yu suddenly realized that no wonder Emperor Dawu and Zhou Zu had endured the annual meeting for so long before they finally chose him. It turned out to be because there was such a rule for becoming Gaoyang's consort.

It seems that Princess Gaoyang's strength is already among the top among her peers, so it is impossible to find anyone who can meet this condition. And the masters of the older generation, such as great masters like Gao Zhengbang, are also It was impossible to ignore rumors and rumors, so it was not until he, the "Heaven-Hateful Blood Demon", was born that Emperor Dawu finally saw something bright and opened the mouth of Chrysostom.

In this way, it was unnecessary for Lu Yu to ask Zhou Peiling to contact the other party on his behalf. Maybe the other party would come to him first.

Along the way, Lu Yu also noticed that the escort team was extremely heavily guarded. There were three floors inside and three floors outside. Each layer required a cutout to pass. No casual person could get close to the base camp. This was obviously to prevent incidents like assassination attempts from happening again. occur.

I don’t know whether it was because they were afraid of the name of the Hatred Blood Demon, or because the strict defenses had taken effect. The journey was quite peaceful, and no accidents occurred.

However, when we were about to arrive in Kyoto, an accident finally happened...

As the team was advancing, the vanguard in front who was responsible for opening the road suddenly stopped and stopped moving forward.

Zhou Zunian and others got off the carriage, and when they were confused, Li Qingcheng suddenly walked over in a hurry.

"Nian Gong, there is a traffic jam ahead and it is temporarily impassable..."

"Congestion?"

Zhou Zunian was stunned for a moment: "This is the Imperial City Post Road, and four vehicles can pass smoothly. Why is there a congestion?"

Li Qingcheng glanced at Lu Yu next to him and said hesitantly: "The road ahead was filled with pig dung and cow dung. It seems that some people with ulterior motives knew the progress of our march and deliberately dumped the pig dung in advance. Cow dung is just to block our way..."

Zhou Zunian was slightly startled, and then he suddenly understood.

Lu Yu on the side also understood at this time. Apparently this was exactly what Zhou Peiling said. Those supporters who regarded Princess Gaoyang as a god were not angry with the arrival of the devil who was about to tarnish the god, so they deliberately put on a show. I wanted to embarrass myself with such a battle. Before I even entered Kyoto, I was smelling of pig and cow dung, which made me unable to get off the stage.

He didn't expect that these people were so cunning and could think of using such a method to attack his reputation. This was much more powerful than a character like Zhou Peiling who only knew how to fight.

Zhou Zunian obviously also realized the thorny situation. He even thought that some imperial censors would definitely use this as an excuse to advise His Majesty that the reputation of this son-in-law was true. He had already caused a foul smell before entering the capital, and was not a good match for the princess.

"Can we take a detour?" Zhou Zunian asked.

Li Qingcheng said: "There are only two roads to enter the city from this direction. I have sent people to inquire. The situation on the other road is similar..."

Zhou Zunian was silent for a moment, and then said: "Can it be cleaned up? How long will it take to clean it up?"

"It's hard to say..."

Li Qingcheng looked embarrassed.

"I just looked and saw that there were many farmers driving manure carts on the road opposite, dumping manure on the road. I don't know where they got so much manure from..." Zhou Zunian snorted heavily, "If that's the case, then we'll set up camp here and notify the Jingzhao prefect to come and deal with this matter. The imperial post road is full of manure. How can he be the Jingzhao prefect? ​​When he clears the road, we'll go there again!" Li Qingcheng took the order and left in a hurry. Zhou Zunian looked back at Lu Yu and became friendly again. "Prince Wang, this happened suddenly. Let's take a break here for a while! I believe the matter will be resolved soon!" Lu Yu nodded without comment, but thought silently in his heart: the manure carts have already lined up on the road. This matter is obviously not simple. I'm afraid it will be difficult to resolve in a short time.
