Chapter 1027: The Wei Wu Army Beats Up the Bandits
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
“Why don’t I just keep quiet and you guys can continue? I am just listening casually…” Lu Shu stated his real motive. He could not hold it in when he heard that there was a large number of soldiers at the borders of the West Region and North Region. Wasn’t Nangeng City the closest fort to the border?
He was doing well with his soap business and a battle was about to begin?
Lu Shu did not know that the Wei Wu Army had already started their attack. They beat up the bandits while advancing to the North.
Gu Lingfei said calmly, “Listen at the side. According to the rules, the disciples of the Sword Hut who has yet to begin their hands on practice should not be allowed into the cottage hall to participate in the conference. I will allow you to enter to observe, but don’t disturb others.”
When the disciples of the Sword Hut met, they reported things that happened to their area while ignoring Lu Shu. Lu Shu’s arrival also reminded the disciples of the Sword Hut in the North Region. One young man said with a strange expression, “The Wei Wu Army is currently killing bandits in the North Region. Now that we have passed the North Capital, the aristocrats at the North side of the North Capital swarmed over. The bandits acted according to what was happening. Without any motivation to defend, they chose to retreat immediately… Judging from the path they are taking, I think they are heading straight for the palace…”
When he said that, many people were stunned. Then, they looked towards Lu Shu again…
Gu Lingfei was speechless. Why did everyone turn their attention to Lu Shu again.
Meanwhile, Lu Shu was stunned. “What? You said that they are advancing towards the palace?”
The disciples of the Sword Hut were speechless… You did not know that too?!
One of the disciples of the Sword Hut said, “I just received news. There are very few people remaining in Nangeng City and they are behaving very strangely.”
Then, they saw Lu Shu turn and leave. Nobody knew where he was heading to.
Lu Shu ran to a place where nobody was outside the hall and took out his messenger mirror immediately. When he added the celestial powers into the mirror, Lu Xiaoyu, who had her hands supporting her chin, appeared opposite him.
She looked as though… She was just waiting in front of the messenger mirror. She did not dare to use it as she was afraid to disturb Lu Shu. Therefore, she waited.
“Xiaoyu, there’s something serious.” Lu Shu was straight to the point. “Li Heitan and the rest are advancing to the palace. Can you and Yi Qian make a trip to check out what is happening. Are they mad?”
At this moment, Lu Shu has already made some observations. For example, why the Wei Wu Army made the move.
By calculating Wei Wu Army’s route and timeline, Lu Shu could roughly conclude that Li Heitan and the rest set off on the day when Lu Shu was threatened by Duanmu Huangqi.
It was not difficult to make such predictions. As for why the opponent knew that he had met troubles, the information probably came from Zhao Shuai, the chief officer of the Song gambling den. When Lu Shu worked with Zhao Shuai, he knew that Zhao Shuai had the messenger mirror. Or else, how could he change the bets in real-time?
It was not possible for him to not feel touched. Lu Shu had interacted with the Wei Wu Army for about six months’ time. With their everyday interactions, they definitely had developed some fond feelings for each other.
Upon hearing that he was in danger, the other party rushed over to assist. Who did not want to have such an army?
In fact, Lu Shu did not view himself as the leader of the Wei Wu Army. He had all along felt that he simply helped the rest to earn money. However, everyone could make their own judgments.
Lu Xiaoyu said from the messenger mirror, “I made Yi Qian go with Li Liang. However, your safety is the most important. I can’t leave, don’t you dare to chase me away.”
Lu Shu sighed. Lu Xiaoyu indeed knew him well. After the four Masters gathered in the palace, things started getting wild. Not only did the four Lords of Heaven arrive, the four masters and those who were Rank Ones came over too.
Therefore, Lu Shu had always felt that Lu Xiaoyu should stay away from this plot of land. However, Lu Xiaoyu did not care about him at all.
Lu Shu suddenly started to smile. “Alright, let’s go together. I have something which I have yet to resolve. Give me a while longer, I want to figure something out.”
Meanwhile, the library had been guarded by someone assigned by Gu Lingfei. Gu Lingfei’s black leopard was also squatting in front of the library door. This was obviously to prevent Lu Shu from entering again…
However, Lu Shu was not unafraid that he had no books to read because he had stuffed all the unread books into the Seal of Lands…
When it was evening time, Gu Lingfei walked out from the hall and saw Lu Shu waiting for her at the side. Gu Lingfei frowned. “What else do you want to say?”
“Where do I live? I am also a disciple of the Sword Hut, shouldn’t I have a place to stay? Moreover, I need to practice the Sword Hut’s swordplay too.” Lu Shu wanted to see if the swordplay has changed after the ancestor of the Hall of Swords arrived.
He was not there to learn, but to verify his guesses.
Perhaps his thoughts were slightly wild. However, Lu Shu felt that nobody in the Sword Hut was qualified to teach him anything. He had already started his own Dao. Other people’s Dao were completely useless.
Gu Lingfei asked someone to bring Lu Shu to his residence. It was a small house with a small yard. There was a water tank and kitchenware but the house only had a wooden bed.
When Lu Shu walked about, he saw that others’ rooms were all neat and well-equipped. However, his house was somewhat undesirable. It felt as though it had been unoccupied for a long time.
Moreover, the disciple who brought him over did not do anything for him and left.
Lu Shu knew that Gu Lingfei did this on purpose…
Actually, other disciples of the Sword Hut felt that Lu Shu was strange. What was he trying to do when he just entered the Sword Hut? However, they were not too bothered about it. After all, in the past, geniuses like Lu Shu had entered the Sword Hut arrogantly but gradually settled in.
In fact, one had to settle in. After all, geniuses would become extremely ordinary when they entered the Sword Hut.
In the outside world, young geniuses would rise to Rank One rapidly. One was considered famous when the Sound of Dao spread for 12 miles. However, in the Sound of Dao, this was just the basics…
Therefore, everyone felt that Lu Shu was just like the arrogant geniuses and allowed him to remain arrogant for a while. After he entered the martial arts cottage and begin training, he would not be able to remain arrogant anymore.
The Sword Hut was extremely united. However, everyone wanted to see Lu Shu get into trouble. It felt as though they were watching a youth who knew no fear. They definitely had to tease him, right?
Lu Shu quietly closed his door. The senior of the Sword Hut began to laugh when he saw Lu Shu’s expression. He thought that Lu Shu had already felt discriminated against? However, that was extremely normal for newbies to be teased by their seniors.
However, the senior of the Sword Hut did not know that the cottage was so simple such that Lu Shu did not feel anything…
However, after Lu Shu closed the door and turned around, he suddenly saw a lady in purple lying on the wooden bed. She was smiling at Lu Shu as she supported her head with her fair arms and palm. Her hair flowed down her body like a waterfall.
A flash of white could be seen between her clothes.
