Peerless Taoist

The piles of gifts were sent to the Phoenix Residence Garden, and for a moment, the Phoenix Residence Garden was as bustling as a city.    

There were also a large number of congratulatory gifts that were still on the way to Western Liang.    

At that moment, everyone in the Imperial Capital was shocked.    

Countless people stared at the scene in front of them, unable to believe their eyes.    

That was one of the Eight Great Aristocratic Families of the Imperial Capital, with deep foundations and unparalleled strength.    

It had always been others who tried to curry favor with the Aristocratic Families, but they had never seen any Aristocratic Family being so polite to a single person.    

"They have made the right bet. They have stood up for Lu Yu after his death. This is a friendship of timely help. In the future, they will definitely get a generous reward."    

"Who would have thought that Lu Yu's life would be so big? He was trapped in the ancient ruins and still didn't die!"    

"Giving gifts like this now is just a icing on the cake. A few days ago, when the Imperial Court sent down the decree, Lord Lu had already entered the pavilion. We can't use the eyes of the younger generation to look at him anymore. "    

" Tsk, tsk, tsk. I'm afraid that some of the families who were adding insult to injury back then are going to panic. "    

Just as many people had guessed, countless powers had supported Zhao Tong in the past and joined forces to attack Lu Yu. At this moment, all of them were silent like cicadas in winter. They all presented their gifts, fearing that they would fall behind.    

The Ten Great Sacred Grounds also sent people to Wei Yang to congratulate him.    

Mi Fei, Chai Family, and countless other forces were fighting to be the first to get closer to Lu Yu.    

Compared to Lu Yu's glorious days, the other side was quiet.    

The Xu Family was silent!    

The Buddha Sect was silent!    

Xiao Family, Silence!    

The various factions acted as if they had not heard the news of the destruction of the Qi Dynasty and did not speak a single word.    

These were the major powers that had made Lu Yu their enemy in the past. The rise of the Lu Family had greatly exceeded his expectations.    

In the Imperial Palace.    

Qiankun Palace.    

It was not the morning court, only Crown Prince Zhao Yuanyan and a group of trusted ministers were having a meeting.    

The surroundings fell into a deathly silence.    

After a long while, the Crown Prince coldly said, "Didn't you all suggest that Gu Xu be given to a high official, Lu Yu, and King Qi? Speak! Why aren't you saying anything!? "    

The officials lowered their heads, not daring to speak.    

"Bang!"    

The Crown Prince threw a punch on the table and scolded angrily, "I have been asking you questions all the time, and you look like you are giving me advice. Why did you all become mute when something really happened?"    

"He, Lu Yu, is a young man, but he is already a great scholar of the Eastern Pavilion. He was already thirty years old when he entered the pavilion for the study of talismans. He is only in his early twenties. "    

"Destroying the enemy's dynasty and killing the rebels. Such a great achievement, what do you want me to use to seal him? If he makes another great contribution, won't he make me become the emperor for him?! "    

The Crown Prince's roar echoed in the Cosmos Palace.    

A minister stepped forward and said in a deep voice, "Your Highness, there is actually a way."    

"Speak."    

"[Our initial method is actually not too big of a problem] Exorcising a tiger to swallow a wolf, using a borrowed knife to kill, was a commonly used trick. The mistake was that we underestimated Lu Yu's strength."    

The Crown Prince raised his eyebrows." Continue. "    

The official smiled and said, "Now, everyone in the Imperial Court thinks that Lu Yu is an invincible Divine General with unparalleled achievements. Why don't we fulfill this wish and borrow Lu Yu's saber again?"    

"You mean..." The Crown Prince's eyes lit up.    

The official said, "The Tang army has been trapped in Tiger Cage Pass for too long. We might as well pass down the decree and let Lu Yu attack the Tang army. This way, we can break the siege of Tiger Cage Pass and weaken Lu Yu's power. Killing two birds with one stone."
