Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
A group of people, who had been following the leader, also turned and looked curiously at Lu Xiaoyu and the Bishop. “Hm? Young lady, are you representing the Wei Wu Army to participate in the Sword Hut selections?”
Before Lu Xiaoyu could speak, a group of people on horses suddenly came from the other end of the road. The leader of the trade caravan led the group to the side of the road. “The sound of the horses galloping is loud and clear. They must be riding good horses! Don’t provoke them!”
The slaves of the owner all stood by the side and did not move. On the other hand, Lu Xiaoyu was curious. How was the leader able to determine what kind of horse the opponent was riding just by the galloping sound?
When the people on horses appeared in their field of view, Lu Xiaoyu realized that their horses were indeed not normal. Not only were they more fit, she sensed Rank Three waves of energy. Furthermore, their eyes were rather strange. Their eyes were red.
The galloping sound stopped beside the leader. A young man with a strong aura looked at the trade caravan. “How do I go to Nangeng City?”
The leader of the trade caravan was overjoyed. “You are the son of the Sun family! I have sent something to your family before.”
The young man on the horse was dumbfounded. “Oh? It’s you. I remember you. You sent us a pair of red coral. My mom loves it!”
The leader was excited. “Yes, yes, yes, I sent it to you. Are you going to Nangeng City?”
“Yes.” Sun Zhongyang laughed casually. “It is a holiday in the Imperial College. We wanted to meet the commander of the Wei Wu Army. Back then, when the gambling den opened up bets, he made us lose money! We have no more pocket money to spend!”
The leader hurriedly said, “You are of royal lineage. Why are you meeting him just like that?”
“There’s no harm in doing so. I will not endanger his life either.” Sun Zhongyang laughed energetically. “I have just advanced to Rank One, but I have no one to train with.”
“Oh, congratulations! You have advanced to Rank One in the two years I have not seen you.” The leader laughed. “Nangeng City is in the north. Just keep traveling straight and you will see it.”
“Okay.” Sun Zhongyang waved the whip in his hand. “If you come to the palace, you may receive a reward from the Sun family.”
Then, Sun Zhongyang was about to bring the 11 people behind him towards Nangeng City. But Lu Shu suddenly appeared. “Wait. Let me tell you that the commander of the Wei Wu Army is no longer in Nangeng City. Didn’t you know?”
Sun Zhongyang was dumbfounded. “Where did he go?”
“I heard that he has gone to the palace,” said Lu Shu. “He is no longer in Nangeng City. I have friends in the Wei Wu Army. They told me about it.”
Lu Shu felt that he was not lying. The commander of the Wei Wu Army, Lu Shu, was indeed no longer in Nangeng City. He had indeed gone to the palace.
He had stopped these people as he realized that there were four Rank One experts in this group.
Lu Shu pondered to himself. Were there so many geniuses in the palace? There were four Rank Ones among 12 people. Furthermore, they were still young.
In reality, he did not know that the palace had selected the top geniuses to join them. Everyone knew about them.
But no matter what, Lu Shu could not allow these young geniuses to cause trouble in Nangeng City. After he and Lu Xiaoyu had left, Liu Yizhao was the only Rank One in Nangeng City. If these young geniuses caused any trouble, there would be injuries and fatalities in the Wei Wu Army.
Lu Shu was afraid that they would treat human lives lightly!
Sun Zhongyang suddenly turned and looked at the leader. “Who is he?”
“He is someone who tagged along with my trade caravan.” The leader smiled. “I was in Nangeng City for half a month, but I have never seen the commander of the Wei Wu Army. You know that I have a rather large business. But even though I had bought many of his goods, he had no plans to see me.”
Sun Zhongyang did not trust Lu Shu, but he trusted the leader. The leader obtained profits from the Sun family. Thus, he would not dare to trick him.
Sun Zhongyang turned and looked at Lu Shu. “I have always been fair in handling public affairs. Thank you for your reminder. If I verify that this information is true, you may also come to the Sun family to receive your reward.”
The people beside them were all shocked. Was the Sun family this rich and arrogant? But when they saw the leader’s flattering smile, they all knew that the Sun family in the palace was not small fry.
Sun Zhongyang planned to go back, but Lu Shu stopped him again. “Have you seen the commander of the Wei Wu Army before? What if you don’t recognize him?”
“What?” Sun Zhongyang had a faint smile on his face. He looked at Lu Shu. “Do you recognize him?”
“Since I live in Nangeng City, of course I do. But if I am able to recognize him, will there be a reward?” Lu Shu smiled.
Sun Zhongyang understood that this young man was helping him to find Lu Shu so that he could earn money! He laughed. “Of course there will be rewards. I like…”
Lu Shu suddenly interrupted him. “But didn’t you say that you’ve run out of pocket money?”
Sun Zhongyang was silent.
He silently looked at Lu Shu. Heh heh, you could really pick up the main points…
“From Sun Zhongyang’s distress, +666!”
Sun Zhongyang plucked his eyebrows and said, “We can receive our monthly pocket money from the clan people every month. One month’s worth of pocket money is far more than you can ever imagine in your entire life. Are you still afraid that I will not give you any money?”
“No, no.” Lu Shu smiled. “I will definitely help you find the commander of the Wei Wu Army, Lu Shu!”
Sun Zhongyang looked at Lu Shu. He pointed his whip at him. “That’s right. What is your name?”
“My name is Le Yulu,” Lu Shu said with a chuckle.
Sun Zhongyang pondered. “… how smooth.”
Lu Xiaoyu rolled her eyes. Of course it would be smooth to say. It was in Chinese.
“Prepare carriages for us,” said Sun Zhongyang to the leader. “We have been riding horses throughout this long journey. My bottom hurts!”
The leader happily prepared three carriages for him. He even included some goods. To the leader, fawning on Sun Zhongyang was worth much more than his goods.
To be honest, he was grateful to Lu Shu. It was Lu Shu who stopped Sun Zhongyang here. This connection would be beneficial for his business in the future, but it would also ensure their safety during their journey.
Which bandit dared to attack a trade caravan with four Rank One experts? No one.
But the leader did not know that there were actually seven Rank One experts with him. Furthermore, Lu Shu was still training hard. He might even be able to break through before they reached the palace…
This was probably the most luxurious trade caravan in history…
There were seven males and five females who accompanied Sun Zhongyang. One of the girls suddenly asked in a small voice, “Do you really believe him? Can you believe someone like him, who can casually betray you?”
Sun Zhongyang took no notice of this. “Mo Xiaoya, don’t say that. He is doing this to earn money. You don’t know how difficult it is for peasants to earn money. Thus, they use their morals to kidnap others. I only want results. I don’t care about the process.”
After Mo Xiaoya heard this, she thought about it and said, “You’re right… but have you realized? He is very good looking!”
