Chapter 1054: The New Wealthy Family, Lu Shu
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
When the Wei Wu Army returned to Nangeng City, the civilians of Nangeng City stood by the sides of the road. They had heard the news of what had happened in the palace from traveling businessmen.
Thus, the Wei Wu Army had rushed to the palace. Furthermore, the news that the commander of the Wei Wu Army had single-handedly killed 12 patrons from the West Region spread like wildfire.
Lu Shu had not been alone. Lu Xiaoyu had been there with him too, but outsiders did not know about this.
Lu Shu did not know that everyone had stopped calling him the commander of the Wei Wu Army. Instead, they had started to call him the head of the Wei Wu Army.
It was similar to the head of the Sword Hut. It was as if this name was to distinguish him from the 11 other armies in the North Region. He was on a completely different level from the rest of the commanders.
No, there were only ten other armies, since the Qing Sai Army had disbanded. The commander of the Qing Sai Army, Liu Yizhao, had become a scout in the Wei Wu Army. Many people could not believe this.
The horses of the Wei Wu Army slowly made their way into Nangeng City. This was Lu Shu’s territory. He was the lord here.
Lu Shu originally pondered whether the civilians of Nangeng City would be afraid of him when they learned about this. Perhaps Duanmu Huangqi would take revenge and bring about danger to Nangeng City.
But to his surprise, not only did the civilians dare to approach him, they seemed excited as well.
This was the difference in concepts between Lu Shu and the civilians. Everyone knew that masters were not able to attack during battles. This was a rule established by the old King of Gods. Thus, since Lu Shu was able to return safely, this meant that Nangeng City was unassailable.
But they did not know that Duanmu Huangqi had started a war on Earth. They did not know that the next time the space pathway opened, there were soldiers waiting for war at Longmen Mountain.
It was the same in North America and in Northern Europe.
They did not know that the Wei Wu Army was only stopping here for one day. They would set off immediately after and go to the West Region to kill.
Lu Shu had just returned to his mansion when Li Heitian informed him that several traveling businessmen were looking for him. After listening to them for a while, Lu Shu understood. These traveling businessmen without owners were backing his business!
They were like the traveling businessmen under the Sun family. Businessmen who sought refuge with major powers would live a better life.
But there were many small businessmen in the Luniverse who dreamed of doing the same!
They did not have any better training techniques. Thus, they could not complete the transition between ranks. They would only wish for experts!
Now, they treated Lu Shu like a wealthy family who had just risen to power. Furthermore, this family was the strongest!
Lu Shu was the strongest person besides the masters. Even if he entered the palace, he was able to play mahjong with the wealthy families there. Moreover, Lu Shu had the Wei Wu Army!
He had single-handedly killed 12 patrons. These patrons were the top experts among Rank Ones in the Luniverse. Who would dare to face Lu Shu head-on? No one!
Furthermore, if the Rank One experts from the lower nine wealthy families in the palace did not work well together, Lu Shu might be able to kill them himself…
Thus, Lu Shu was now a wealthy family with deep roots.
However, the traveling businessmen were puzzled. Lu Shu asked Li Heitian to chase them away. He did not even take their name cards.
The traveling businessmen were confused. The Wei Wu Army loved doing business, right? The Wei Wu Army loved money, right? Why did they reject money that had come knocking on their doorstep?
They did not know that Lu Shu had made a decision. In the past, he loved money, but there were things in this world that were more important than money.
Lu Shu was suddenly amused. This was probably what the world had taught him after he had trained.
Just as Lu Xiaoyu had said, Lu Shu had always been lonely. But now, he felt that this loneliness was getting better.
The next morning, there was the sound of horses and metal in Nangeng City. The civilians of Nangeng City walked out of their houses, puzzled. Then, they saw the Wei Wu Army walking out of the military barracks and towards the entrance of the city.
Lu Shu and Lu Xiaoyu were right in front of the Wei Wu Army.
The civilians of Nangeng City were shocked. They had just come home. Why were they going out again? Everyone slowly understood that the Wei Wu Army had mobilised to save their head in the palace. What were they doing this time?
Many traveling businessmen were willing to seek refuge with Lu Shu as they had been shocked by how the Wei Wu Army had saved their head in the palace.
Their motto was to eliminate bandits, but they had gone all the way to the palace. Furthermore, they had brought Lu Shu back as well. What was this cohesion?
How many armies in the Luniverse had this kind of cohesion? One? Two?
The Black Feather Army had many military achievements, but when this clashed with belief, it was hard to justify. They were on two completely different planes.
The traveling businessmen were wise. When they thought about it, they understood. Why was the Wei Wu Army willing to risk their lives for Lu Shu? If Lu Shu was a harsh person, would the Wei Wu Army pledge their allegiance to him? Definitely not.
It was hard to find a wise leader. This was the reason why the traveling businessmen could not help but clamor towards him.
But now, the Wei Wu Army had set off once again…
“Wait. Isn’t that the west?” Someone said, “Weren’t the aristocrats there eliminated by the Black Feather Army and forced to retreat? What is the Wei Wu Army going to do?”
“It’s not enough for them to kill 1000 underlings and 12 patrons. They have to continue killing the Black Feather Army as well!”
“How much hatred do they have…”
“Hey, haven’t you heard? A space pathway has opened up in the West Region. There is a new world beyond the space pathway!”
“New world? What new world? Is it the mystic land that the old King of Gods talked about?”
“Ha ha ha, stop causing trouble! Don’t you even dare to think about that!”
“I was just joking…”
A traveling businessman calmly watched the Wei Wu Army walk out of the palace. They sensed the ferocity in their hearts. The Wei Wu Army was invincible!
He returned to his room and took out his messenger mirror. He relayed the information about the Wei Wu Army back to the palace.
There were crooks among the honest folk in Nangeng City. Various stakeholders wanted to have all the information about the Wei Wu Army.
But they had not expected the Wei Wu Army to be up to more mischief!
The news spread in the palace. Some went to the gambling dens in the palace to see whether they could place bets on the Wei Wu Army’s victory.
But when they went to the gambling dens, they realized that there were no bets regarding the Wei Wu Army. It was as if the wealthy families in the palace had ignored the Wei Wu Army.
No one dared to speak up. No one dared to be the sacrifice.
No matter whether it was the Wei Wu Army or Duanmu Huangqi, they could not provoke them.
This was probably the reason why Sun Xunwen had gone into seclusion. He understood that in the face of strength, calculations and plans were all simply fabrications.
