Chapter 947: To Escape Or Not?Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Lu Shu looked at the way the soldiers of the Wei Wu Army learnt how to read with a melancholic expression and asked Zhang Weiyu, “The aristocrats are too good at enduring, we did so many disgusting things to them and they haven’t attacked the King Lu Mountain yet?”
Although it was rather stressful if tens of thousands of soldiers from the army of the aristocrats entered the mountain, Lu Shu felt rather lonely without any income…
Since Lu Shu was young, he understood that one should definitely not sit and do nothing…
Zhang Weiyu was also rather confused. “This doesn’t make sense. Liu Yizhao kept saying that the army of the aristocrats had stayed in the Wei Bei Pa.s.s when he returned. They were not worried about recovering the three fortresses that they had lost, could it be that the Lord of Heaven had completed his training?”
Lu Shu said suddenly, “If the Lord of Heaven completed his training, shouldn’t they recover the fortresses immediately? I think that it is unlikely, so I am guessing that… could they be afraid of me?”
Lu Xiaoyu nodded suddenly. “If they are fighting against the Wei Wu Army, if they are lucky, they just had to change several soldiers. If they are unlucky, they have to change to aristocrats.”
Lu Shu looked at Lu Xiaoyu in an appraising manner. “Lu Xiaoyu, you made a good conclusion!”
Lu Xiaoyu smiled. “Of course!”
Zhang Weiyu looked at this scene emotionlessly and did not have the intention to conduct any further a.n.a.lysis…
“From Zhang Weiyu’s distress points, +199!”
In fact, the aristocrats were fearful of Lu Shu’s ident.i.ty. In the beginning, they thought that Lu Shu was just a gifted young man without any real talent. In the Luniverse, were there not enough gifted talents who died in the end?
However, news came from the palace and they admitted that Lu Shu belonged to the Lu family in the Liu Li Lane. What the Lu family said was very vague, neither did they say that he was the relative nor the direct descendant. This confused everyone.
After several decades, an extremely gifted individual would come from the Lu family of the Liu Li Lane. However, this was not the main point.
Everyone knew that the Lu family of the Liu Li Lane was very humble. They did not conduct much business with people outside of the palace. Although those businesses were very important, they were also not the main point.
The specific reason was rarely mentioned by the older generation. Meanwhile, although the younger generation did not know why the Lu family was so powerful, they knew that they could not be messed around with.
At this moment, many of the young people of the palace were indignant. “Are we just going to be bullied by him and not fight back? Is the army of the aristocrats of the North Region so timid?”
The geniuses of the palace could not tolerate this humiliation!
However, the adults in the family said expressionlessly, “The army of the four regions dare not to mess around with the Lu family. The palace did not mind. You can choose what to do based on the situation.”
Upon seeing the att.i.tude of the adults, the geniuses felt happy. This meant that although the Lu family of the Liu Li Lane was powerful, with their own position in the palace, they were not afraid!
Therefore, after the Lu family of the Liu Li Lane spoke, everyone seemed to have found the explanation to the rise of the Wei Wu Army. However, the teenagers of the palace were still clenching their fists and some of them started to plan for a secret trip to the North Region.
The people who planned to head to the North Region were those who had suffered great losses in the gambling den. They had nothing to do and were rather talented. Normally, they were spoiled brats in the palace and could not endure the humiliation after being fooled around with.
A group of 12 geniuses from the palace had already discussed their plan. When the school holidays came, they would tell their parents before leaving the palace.
Suddenly, someone commented, “There is a course called “travelling a thousand miles” this term break, it is a perfect chance for us to go to the North Region!”
“Let’s fix it as such!” One of the geniuses placed his foot on the stool and sneered, “Let us show the brat what serious consequences he would suffer from plotting a scheme like this! I have f*cking promised Lin Yi from the Red Jade House that I would go over to support her this month, now, I don’t have any money…”
Hence, they confirmed the plan of heading to the North Region two months later.
Lu Shu did not know about it. If he had known, he would welcome them to hurry over. He was there to do the group of geniuses justice… Wasn’t he troubled over the fact that there was no progression?
While Lu Shu was feeling troubled, Li Heitan and the rest felt troubled too. They had to learn how to read and write, as well as do homework, after they returned to the mountain.
To be honest, for Li Heitan and the rest, they felt better when fighting a battle along with their commander…
Li Heitan was initially a bandit. The old Wei Wu Army who had fallen was in no way better than him. Although the Qing Sai Army was a powerful army, they had lost several battles.
Therefore, their past life experience was not as exciting as compared to what happened in these few months.
The Wei Wu Army had never lost a battle against the Black Feather Army before. Moreover, they had always defeated their enemies all to pieces and had a superior position while pa.s.sing through the cave. The entire Wei Wu Army exclaimed, ‘This is how amazing it felt to fight!’
Everyone was as close as a family. They were all battlemates and had gone through thick and thin together.
Even if they were told to leave, they would not leave.
On the other hand, Lu Shu was worthy of the name of a true leader.
However, this leader was determined to torture them with homework. It was extremely tormenting for Li Heitan. He wanted to suggest to the King to let everyone attack the Wei Bei Pa.s.s. After all, they had nothing to do.
They were willing to do anything as long as they could avoid doing homework…
At this moment, the army of the aristocrats suddenly attacked. However, they did not head to the King Lu Mountain but went to Yun An City, Guang Liao City and Nangeng City, rus.h.i.+ng against the clock.
However, when Liu Yizhao pa.s.sed the message back to the army, Zhang Weiyu affirmed, “The Lord of Heaven has completed his training!”
Lu Shu frowned, “What is Wen Zaifou like? If he really wants to put the blame on the Wei Wu Army, we probably have to escape first. Shall we head to the West Region?”
Zhang Weiyu stared at Lu Shu in a daze. “You have already annoyed the Black Feather Army in the West Region and you still want to head over? Don’t even think about it. If our soldiers betrayed us, the officials under the rule of the Lord of Heaven will definitely go for a cleanse of the Wei Wu Army. This is not about winning or losing, it is about their reputation!”
“I am just making a casual remark.” Lu Shu thought. Fortunately, he did not do it…
“There is no need to worry about the Lord of Heaven Wen Zaifou,” said Zhang Weiyu suddenly, “I have a rather good impression about him. Amongst the Four Lords of Heaven, he is the only one who is determined to train and is not overly concerned about power and benefits. If he is someone who is extremely particular about politics, then Ye Xiaoming would not have been able to stay in the position as the commander for such a long time. The Lord of Heaven must have seen through his tricks but did not bother to care about him.”
“Then should we not escape first?” asked Lu Shu curiously.
At this moment, a voice mixed with laughter was heard behind Lu Shu. “Where do you want to escape to? Didn’t you make a great accomplishment, why do you have to escape?”
Lu Shu was extremely shocked and attacked the person behind him instinctively with a tree branch. However, before the tree branch could hit the person, he had already placed his finger on the tree branch and the tree branch disintegrated.
Then, he realized that the young handsome man was wearing a black ceremonial dress. It was decorated with twelve objects — dragon, sun, moon, stars, mountain, pheasant, wine vessel, algae, fire, rice grains, axe and a pattern!
Lu Shu’s heart sank. He had already figured out who the person was!
