Spare Me, Great Lord!

Chapter 1004: Wei Wu Army, Go Forth!

The Song Ji gambling den did not want to be involved in the conflict between Lu Shu and Duanmu Huangqi. After all, one of them was a Lord of Heaven, while the other was a new, ordinary disciple of the Sword Hut.

They had never socialized with Duanmu Huangqi, nor were they friends. It was not that the Song family did not have good conduct. Most of the wealthy families were not willing to interact with Duanmu Huangqi. After Duanmu Huangqi had advanced to the Master Realm, his disposition changed drastically. It was as if the darkness and brutality hidden in his heart had been released when he advanced to the Master realm. In the past, he had to conceal these aspects. But after he became a Master, it was hard for him to die. Thus, he no longer had any misgivings.

It was hard to talk to this kind of person. If they could not benefit, they would not do anything. Their lives might even be in danger. Thus, compared to Duanmu Huangqi, everyone was more willing to make friends with Lu Shu. Although there were times when Lu Shu badly wanted money, everyone would be able to earn money if they were friends with Lu Shu.

But now, the situation was different. During the clash between Duanmu Huangqi and the senior disciple of the Sword Hut, they sensed something unusual. In the past, when the old King of Gods was still around, Duanmu Huangqi would never dare to attack someone in the palace.

On the other hand, even if the Song family head was willing to do business with him, they could not possibly do so in this situation.

The wealthy families in the palace could stand for so long because their predecessors had the ability to seek luck and avoid calamity. They did not want to become enemies with Duanmu Huangqi. They could only cut off their ties with Lu Shu. Thus, they immediately informed Zhao Shuai and asked him to return to the palace!

But Zhao Shuai was rather loyal. He had flown over 200 kilometers. After much hesitation, he decided to return and tell the Wei Wu Army. It was also part of their friendship.

The Wei Wu Army did not have any weapons that would allow them to communicate with Lu Shu. Thus, they did not know what had happened in the palace. But something major had happened.

Liu Yizhao said in a serious tone, “Li Heitan, ask Lord Zhang to come here!”

Li Heitan wildly ran towards the military tent where Zhang Weiyu was. Then, he carried Zhang Weiyu and ran back. Zhang Weiyu almost vomited on the way back.

Zhang Weiyu was going crazy. He was an ordinary person!

“Li Heitan, let me go. What in the world happened?!” Zhang Weiyu was furious.

“Zhao Shuai said that something has happened to our Great Lord in the palace!” Li Heitan exclaimed in a hurried tone.

Zhang Weiyu was silent. He understood why Li Heitan was so hurried. Something had happened to Lu Shu. At first, Zhang Weiyu rejected the expression “our Great Lord”. But Li Heitan and the rest used it everyday, to the point that Zhang Weiyu was used to it…

Li Heitan carried Zhang Weiyu and came to Zhao Shuai. After vomiting, Zhang Weiyu calmly wiped his mouth and said to Zhao Shuai, “Chief Officer Zhao, could you tell me what has happened?”

He wanted to analyze what situation Lu Shu was in now!

Since Lu Shu had trusted him to temporarily command the Wei Wu Army while he was gone, Zhang Weiyu felt that he had to live up to this trust.

It was said that a true gentleman would sacrifice his life for his friends. Although Zhang Weiyu would not die for Lu Shu, as he had to remain alive for the old King of Gods, Lu Shu’s situation was something that he could not ignore.

Moreover, with Lu Shu around, the Wei Wu Army would have a reason to exist.

Zhao Shuai hesitated and said, “It’s like this. After your Great Lord came to the palace…”

Zhang Weiyu, Liu Yizhao, Li Heitan, and the rest were dumbfounded when they heard the story. Their Great Lord had used the Sun family to eliminate his enemies? Their Great Lord had become like a demon king in the Sword Hut selections? Their Great Lord had been encircled and intercepted by the civilians, who trampled his house flat…

Zhang Weiyu and the rest were very shocked. On the other hand, Little Fury was very calm. This was Lu Shu’s normal behavior… when Little Fury came to Nangeng City and met the Wei Wu Army, it found out that Lu Shu had gone to participate in the Sword Hut selections. From that point onwards, it had started to stand in silent tribute for the rest of the Sword Hut candidates…

“Is he that strong?” Zhang Weiyu felt that Lu Shu treated the palace like a place to play. “How did it happen?”

“Let me explain this slowly.” Zhao Shuai panted and said, “The second person that your Great Lord eliminated, Duanmu Yunge, is the son of Duanmu Huangqi. Now, Duanmu Huangqi has been criticized by the armies in the palace. Lu Shu made him embarrassed. He killed his own son. He wanted to kill Lu Shu, but the senior disciple of the Sword Hut stepped in. But we feel that if Duanmu Huangqi had the chance, he would definitely kill your Great Lord without mercy.”

Li Heitan was upset. “Where did his courage come from?”

Zhang Weiyu laughed coldly. “Duanmu Huangqi is becoming even more unreasonable recently. First, he started the war at the borders. Then, he went to the palace to cause trouble.”

But like Lu Shu, Zhang Weiyu could not understand. Under these circumstances, why did the new King of Gods not do anything?

He knew the new King of Gods. How could he allow Duanmu Huangqi to run riot? Did something that he did not know about happen?

Zhao Shuai said, “I’m just telling you about this. Your decision has nothing to do with me. I hope that you will pretend as if you did not see me.”

“Don’t worry. The Wei Wu Army will not forget about this. We will repay you one day!” Zhang Weiyu said in a low voice. It already took a lot of courage for him to come here to tell the Wei Wu Army under the pressure of the Lord of Heaven.

Zhao Shuai left. He had to return to the palace and face the incoming storm with the Song family.

Li Heitan looked at Zhang Weiyu. He said in a low, muffled voice, “What do we do?”

While they were speaking, Li Heitan secretly looked at Liu Yizhao and Little Fury. He had already decided. If Zhang Weiyu ordered the Wei Wu Army to stay behind and maintain stability, he would secretly go to the palace… but Li Heitan had just advanced to Rank Two. Even if he went to the palace alone, he would not be of much help. Thus, he hoped that Liu Yizhao and Little Fury would go with him.

But Zhang Weiyu’s words caused them to be dumbfounded. “We will pack up and go to the palace…”

Zhang Weiyu hesitated. “What excuse will we use to go to the palace?”

Li Heitan said in a low voice, “There are some bandits 300 kilometers away from the palace. Let’s eliminate them…”

When Zhang Weiyu heard this, his eyes lit up. “Li Heitan, you are a genius!”

Everyone looked at one another helplessly. They were worried that Zhang Weiyu would go with the safe choice. In the past, while Zhang Weiyu was the leader of the Wei Wu Army, there would be some conflicts between him and the rest. For example, there were conflicts over the prohibition of alcohol and the implementation of military law.

Thus, a barrier slowly formed between Zhang Weiyu and the rest.

But now, that barrier seemed to have disappeared. Li Heitan beamed with joy. “I will start packing up now!”

Liu Yizhao looked at Zhang Weiyu. “From your words… are you coming as well? Your body…”

Zhang Weiyu sighed. “I’m afraid that you will cause the sky to fall if you go by yourselves! Wei Wu Army, go forth!”
