Chapter 175

Lu Ming only vaguely understood Zhuo Changkong's words, and he only provoked the war of feudal lords on a whim.Therefore, Lu Ming could only nod slightly to show that he had listened.

"I'm afraid you still don't quite understand that once you become a Marquis, it means that you have jumped out of the quagmire of most of the officialdom and entered a more independent circle of princes and princes." Zhuo Changkong further explained.

"I won't mention the princes of Wen Xiang's lineage, but the same is true for the princes of the military department and the demon-suppressing division." Zhuo Changkong took a sip of tea and said: "The ones who came out of the demon-suppressing division are called Marquis Wu and King Wu. , the military department trains military marquises and military kings."

Lu Ming silently remembered it in his heart, continued to nod, and continued to serve Zhuo Changkong some tea.He had met a military marquis, Ling Fenghou from the Zhennan Army, but he only thought it was cool before, and he didn't know anything else.

"The reason why these princes are said to be more independent and pure is that in the final analysis it is because the dynasty values ​​martial arts. Those of you who use martial arts as princes and kings are the future and pillars of the dynasty. In other words, princes have transcended the ups and downs of officialdom, and only It needs to be judged by martial arts."

Only then did Lu Ming understand a lot, and at the same time he was glad that he had taken this path, which would save him from many official schemes and intrigues in the future.

"It's just that you don't want to feel arrogant and slack because of this." Zhuo Changkong suddenly changed the subject again, and reminded with a smile: "Do you know why I'm not worried that you will deliberately show off, or that Dao Si will promote some princes himself?"

Lu Ming shook his head, he also had this kind of doubt in his heart.It stands to reason that Yun Kongdao should not only have such a little prince.Although the battle of feudal lords is dangerous, if Dao Si is willing, he can take advantage of the loopholes to win many Marquis Wu, and the chief inspector can't find any faults.

Zhuo Changkong said: "It's very simple, because they don't dare, even if they really choose the prince for personal gain and fraud, they can't keep the prince."

Lu Ming was slightly taken aback, could he still be deprived of his position as the Prince of Dare?

Zhuo Changkong gave Lu Ming a gesture of calmness and calmness, and then he said in a leisurely manner: "Since you are a Marquis, you must use force to defend your title, unless you are hereditary, you can always have the shadow of your ancestors to protect you. "

Lu Ming's heart moved, but he was not timid. It was not difficult for him to defend his position with martial arts.However, it depends on whether there is any benefit in it.

Seeing that Lu Ming was as calm as before, Zhuo Changkong nodded approvingly and said, "Specifically speaking, from the day you officially become a marquis, it means that you are standing on the cusp of storms, which will inevitably attract many powerful people from the same realm as the entire dynasty. challenge."

"As long as you can remain undefeated, you will naturally be able to keep your position." Zhuo Changkong said seriously: "Once you lose once, it is very likely that you will die. Together with your Wuhou position and fiefdom, it will directly change hands."

Lu Ming was stunned, and asked, "Can't you refuse?"

Zhuo Changkong shook his head and said, "Of course not. Since you dare to become a Marquis, it means that you have accepted the endless challenge behind this glory. Natural selection and the strong are respected. This is also the foundation of a dynasty. How can you avoid war?" ?”

"Then what's the benefit if you win?" Lu Ming couldn't help asking.He is not afraid of challenges, the key must be beneficial, otherwise he would not be so carefree.

Zhuo Changkong nodded this time and said, "Two benefits."

As soon as Lu Ming's eyes lit up, he heard Zhuo Changkong continue: "First, it will allow you to experience hundreds of battles and increase your experience in fighting against the enemy. Second, if you show mercy and don't kill the opponent, he will have to do things for you One year, this is the rule that all demon townspeople have to follow."

Only then did Lu Ming suddenly understand that this is the case. Being a Marquis does not mean that he can sit on a high platform, but he still has to face challenges all the time in order to keep his title and enjoy the infinite scenery.

"It's fair, otherwise, it's inevitable that there will be a group of so-called strong people who don't seek to make progress." Lu Ming thought to himself.

It's no wonder that if the Daoist dared to resort to deceit and promote a weak Marquis Wu, he would be picked off by outsiders soon, and the death would be minor, and the entire Daoist's reputation would be ruined.

Lu Ming was not afraid of challenges, but he thought he might not have much time to play around with those challengers, so he asked directly, "If I don't want to be challenged all the time, is there any way?"

Zhuo Changkong smiled and said, "It's not that there is no way, and there are two ways."

"One is to stop killing by killing. As long as you are strong enough and ruthless enough, you will naturally be able to deter those who want to rise to the top."

"The second way is simpler. You take the initiative to challenge the people on the list of lords. As long as you can get on the list, those who don't have titles will not be able to challenge you anymore." After Zhuo Changkong finished speaking, he was blown away. The hot air floating on the teacup drank it down in one gulp with a smile on his face.

"Prince List?" Lu Ming thought about it carefully, but he had never heard of it.

"The Shenwu Dynasty has 36 provinces, plus an imperial city full of powerful people, so there are quite a few princes born in so many places." Zhuo Changkong continued: "Dynasty Town Demon Division and Military Department, so A list of gods and martial princes has been set up, and the list is purely based on force and supernatural power."

"Not to mention the king list, the Hou list is divided into seven ranks, six ranks, and five ranks. There are 300, 200, and 100 people on the list respectively."

"As long as you can be on the seventh-rank ranking list, even if you are the [-]th at the bottom of the list, you can avoid the challenges of ordinary people and sit firmly in the ranking."

Lu Ming suddenly became interested. This is a good way, but he still asked: "What are the benefits of being on the list?"

Zhuo Changkong asked strangely: "Isn't it the biggest advantage once you are on the martial arts ranking? The so-called Wen Wu is second to Wu Wu, who doesn't want to be number one in the world?"

"If you can reach the top of the list, the entire Yunkong Road will be proud of you." Zhuo Changkong said with burning eyes.

Lu Ming said with some embarrassment: "There is no real benefit? For example, natural materials and earthly treasures, or the inheritance of magical skills?"

Zhuo Changkong laughed angrily, this kid is really a master who doesn't see rabbits or hawks.

Shaking his head, Zhuo Changkong said with a smile: "No, those who are on the list of lords will no longer be deprived of titles and fiefdoms. Unless you gamble privately, the town demon will not care."

Lu Ming heard Zhuo Changkong's implication, as long as both parties are willing, they can ask for some substantial benefits by themselves.

"Lord Zhuo, won't the supernatural beings from Fumo Mountain participate in this kind of battle?" Lu Ming asked curiously, noticing that Zhuo Changkong never mentioned Fumo Mountain.

Zhuo Changkong laughed and said, "The supernatural beings on the mountain are different from us. What they pursue is tranquility and inaction, and they are not interested in the position of prince."

Lu Ming pondered for a moment, then asked a sharp question, "Aren't you afraid that someone will deliberately hide their strength and compete for the list of princes?"

He himself is such a person, suppressing his cultivation base in a state of perfection, even those who are kings and powerhouses can hardly see it.

Zhuo Changkong glanced at Lu Ming, and said with a smile: "You are talking about those who have completed the realm, suppressing the realm?"

"Don't worry, there are still very few shameless strong men like this. It doesn't make much sense to condescend. Moreover, everyone's practice is step-by-step, and it is impossible to achieve perfection step by step, and it is easy to be noticed."

"What's more, for the true pride of heaven, they are not afraid of this kind of people. At the same level of cultivation, they even dare to compete with the king." Zhuo Changkong said firmly.

Lu Ming smiled awkwardly, isn't he talking about himself, "I am a proud son of heaven, even if the Martial Emperor is suppressed to the fifth rank, I would still dare to fight him."
