When Wu Weijun returned to Nangeng City, the people of Nangeng City were standing on both sides of the street. Among them, there were already foreign merchants who brought news about Royal City.
Therefore, the news of Wu Weijun attacking Royal City and Wu Weijun's commander killing the 12 Great Foreign Ministers of Western State by himself had spread like wildfire.
In fact, Lü Shu was not alone. He was accompanied by Lü Xiaoyu, but outsiders did not know about it.
Now, Lü Shu did not know that in private, people no longer called him Wu Weijun Commander, but Wu Weijun Lord.
Just like the Lord of Jianlu, as if to distinguish him from the 12 armies of Southern State, he was no longer on the same level as the other commanders.
No, it was 11 armies, because the Qing Fortress Army had been withdrawn, and the commander of the Qing Fortress Army, Liu Yizhao, had become a small scout for Wu Weijun. This was something that many people found unbelievable.
Wu Weijun's cavalry slowly stepped into Nangeng City. This was Lü Shu's territory, and he was the nobleman here.
Lü Shu originally thought that if the people of Nangeng City knew about this, they would be afraid of him. Perhaps Duanmu Huangqi would bring a new disaster to Nangeng City because he wanted to take revenge on him.
However, to his surprise, although the people did not dare to approach them, they looked excited.
This was the difference in views between Lü Shu and the people. Everyone knew that Great Grandmasters could not intervene in war. This was a rule set by the Old Divine King. Therefore, since Lü Shu could return safely, it meant that Nangeng City would be impregnable in the future.
However, they did not know that Duanmu Huangqi had personally launched a war against Earth. They also did not know that the next time the space passage opened, there would not only be soldiers waiting outside the Dragon Gate Mountain passage, waiting for war.
It was the same outside the passages in North America and Northern Europe.
They did not know that Wu Weijun had only come back to rest for a day and was about to set off again to the Western State.
As soon as Lü Shu returned to the City Lord's Mansion, Li Heitan came over to inform him that a number of traveling merchants had come to see him. Lü Shu called one of them in and casually chatted with him for a while. He understood that these traveling merchants without a master were looking for a backer for their business!
Just like the traveling merchant under the Sun Family, the merchant who relied on a powerful force would have a better life.
However, there were still many small merchants in Lü Zhou who dreamed of finding a backer one day!
They didn't have a better cultivation technique, so they couldn't complete the leap in rank. They could only place their hopes on the strong!
Now, they had already regarded Lü Shu as a rising wealthy family, and the strongest one at that!
With Lü Shu's strength as the number one person below the Great Grandmaster, even if he entered the capital, he would be able to play cards with those prestigious families, not to mention that Lü Shu still had Wu Weijun.
He had killed twelve python-robed guests with his own strength, and those guests were the top experts among the first-pin experts. Which wealthy family would be willing to face Lü Shu head-on? No one would be willing!
Moreover, among the prestigious families of the nine lower sects, if the first-pin experts were to gather together, Lü Shu might be able to kill them all by himself …
Therefore, Lü Shu was now a wealthy family, and it was the kind that had yet to have a deep foundation.
However, what surprised the traveling merchants was that Lü Shu had actually asked Li Heitan to chase them away. He did not accept anyone's pledge of allegiance.
The traveling merchants were puzzled. Didn't Wu Weijun love doing business the most? Didn't Wu Weijun love money the most? Why did he reject everyone's money that was delivered to his doorstep?
They didn't understand why Lü Shu had made up his mind to leave. He used to love money, but there would always be something more important than money in this world.
Lü Shu suddenly felt a little funny. This was probably what the world had taught him after he started cultivating.
Just as Lü Xiaoyu had said, Lü Shu had always been lonely, but now he felt that, well, that loneliness was slightly better.
Early the next morning, the sound of iron hooves could be heard in Nangeng City. The citizens of Nangeng City walked out of their houses in surprise, and someone saw Wu Weijun filing out of the military camp, galloping madly towards the city gate.
And at the very front of Wu Weijun were Lü Shu and Lü Xiaoyu.
The citizens of Nangeng City were shocked. Why did he go out again so soon after returning home? Everyone gradually understood that Wu Weijun had turned out in full force to go to King City to save his lord, but what was he doing this time?
In fact, many traveling merchants were willing to rely on Lü Shu because Wu Weijun had shocked them by saving their lord in King City.
A group of soldiers shouting the slogan of exterminating bandits ended up killing their way to King City, and they even managed to welcome Lü Shu back. What kind of cohesiveness was this?
How many armies in Lü Zhou had such cohesiveness? One? Two?
The Blackfeather Army had high combat standards, but when combat standards met faith, there was no way to reason with them. These were two completely different things.
Moreover, the traveling merchants were smart people. If they thought about it from the other side, they would understand why Wu Weijun was willing to risk his life for Lü Shu. If Lü Shu was a mean person, would Wu Weijun be so loyal? Definitely not.
It was hard to find a good leader, and this was why the traveling merchants could not wait to get close to him.
But now, Wu Weijun had gone out of the city again …
"Wait, isn't that the west?" Someone was stunned for a moment and said, "Didn't the nobles there just get defeated by the Blackfeather Army and are retreating? What is Wu Weijun going there for?"
"It's not enough to kill 1,000 kamikaze warriors and 12 foreign dignitaries. He's going to continue killing the Blackfeather Army!"
"How big of a grudge …?"
"Shh, didn't you guys hear? A spatial passage opened in Western State, and behind that spatial passage is a new world!"
"A new world? What world? The Holy Kingdom written by the Old Divine King? "
"Hahahaha, don't joke around. You really dare to dream!"
"I'm just joking …"
A traveling merchant watched Wu Weijun leave the city with a calm expression. Feeling that valiant aura that came from the bottom of his heart, this Wu Weijun was probably unrivaled now!
He returned to his room and took out the communication mirror to send Wu Weijun's message back to the capital.
Right now, Nan Geng City was a mix of crooks and honest folk. It could be said that all the forces were trying their best to control all the news about Wu Weijun.
However, they really did not expect that Wu Weijun was going to cause trouble again!
The news spread in the capital. Some people wanted to go to the gambling houses in the capital to see if they could bet on Wu Weijun.
In the end, when they arrived at the gambling houses, they realized that there was no bet related to Wu Weijun at all. It was as if all the wealthy families in the capital had ignored Wu Weijun overnight.
No one was willing to make a sound, and no one was willing to stand out.
Regardless of whether it was Wu Weijun or Duanmu Huangqi, they could not afford to offend them.
This was probably the reason why Sun Xiuwen went into seclusion. He understood that all schemes and schemes were useless in the face of absolute power.
