Wu Weijun rode westward all the way. As Nangeng City was located at the border, they set off early in the morning. By the time the sky was completely bright, they had already reached the original border between Western and Southern Provinces.
Wu Weijun did not stop because they were going to reach the first barrier of the Blackfeather Army tonight.
This barrier was not set up for Wu Weijun, but to stop the noble army sent by Wen Zaifou to attack Western Provinces.
When Lü Shu heard Wen Zaifou say that he wanted the nobles to go to Western Provinces to take down ten cities, he was a little gloating, but he did not think too much about it. Not only did Lü Shu not think too much about it, the nobles did not think too much about it either. They only thought that Wen Zaifou wanted them to remember.
However, they underestimated the determination of the Blackfeather Army to fight back. No one thought that Western Provinces had such a big plan at the border, and it was related to a whole new world!
At that time, the Blackfeather Army had already begun to station a large number of troops at the border. It seemed that the Blackfeather Army had started preparing for this a few years ago, but they had never taken action. This might have something to do with the opening time of the spatial passage.
Wen Zaifou wanted the nobles to take down ten cities in Western Provinces, but now that they had taken the third city, they were in a dilemma. It was impossible to retreat. If they retreated just like that, no matter how good-tempered Wen Zaifou was, he would not let them go.
Since they could not enter, they could only defend the third city with all their might. The Black Feather Army attacked the city day and night, not giving them any time to catch their breath.
They asked for help from Wen Zaifou, but there was no response.
Now that they thought about it, Wen Zaifou had actually sent them to annoy Duanmu Huangqi. Maybe Wen Zaifou already knew about Duanmu Huangqi's plan!
During this time, they had been keeping in touch with the outside world, wanting to know what was going on outside so that they could better judge their current situation.
The nobles knew that they were now pawns on a chessboard. They could only advance and not retreat. If they wanted to live, they could only rely on themselves.
At this time, they also learned that Wu Weijun had rescued Lü Shu from Royal City, and that Wu Weijun had returned to Southern Geng City yesterday. This morning, they suddenly heard that Wu Weijun had turned out in full force and was heading towards Western Provinces!
The nobles were overjoyed. They all knew that Lü Shu and Duanmu Huangqi had formed a deadly feud in Royal City. Duanmu Huangqi wanted to suppress Lü Shu, but he had lost thousands of his men and twelve of his vassals. This was a situation where they would not rest until one of them was dead.
Although Wu Weijun had robbed them in the past, they were sure that Wu Weijun was on the same side now. If he came here, he would definitely be their greatest help!
At this time, no one would look down on Wu Weijun anymore. Lü Shu's title as the number one person below the Great Grandmaster was enough to intimidate them, not to mention Wu Weijun's own strength.
Therefore, the nobles took the initiative to send their slaves to greet Wu Weijun. As long as he cooperated with them, they were willing to pay a huge price!
However, just as they were waiting for Wu Weijun, something unexpected happened … Wu Weijun disappeared!
Their slaves went to greet Wu Weijun, but all the way to Nangeng City, they did not see Wu Weijun at all!
For some reason, the nobles were not surprised by this at all. It would be surprising if Wu Weijun did everything according to common sense.
At this time, the excitement of receiving reinforcements had died down a little. They suddenly began to worry that Wu Weijun would attack them as well … Anything was possible …
The nobles wanted to find Wu Weijun to help them fight the war. They were willing to pay, but now they could not even find Wu Weijun!
Moreover, they also received news that Wu Weijun did not even want the soap factory in Nangeng City anymore. It was as if that money-grubber had become someone who did not love money overnight.
In fact, on the night Wu Weijun returned to Nangeng City to recuperate, Lü Shu asked Wu Weijun if there was anyone who wanted to stay behind. This was a dangerous trip.
Duanmu Huangqi still had two Great Grandmasters by his side. In addition to his original four Great Grandmasters, he had lost one on Earth, so now there were only three left. However, this was still a force that Lü Shu could not imagine. At least, he could not fight against it now. Even with the help of Nie Ting, he was still a little powerless.
Not to mention the Great Grandmasters, even if Duanmu Huangqi lost 12 Rank 1 Foreign Officials, he still had more than two Rank 1 subordinates under him, but the exact number was unknown.
There was also the vast Blackfeather Army, which had been continuously gathering from Western Region. Troops were reorganized into the Blackfeather Army, leaving only one behemoth.
Compared to this force, there was still a certain gap between Wu Weijun and this force.
Lü Shu had his reasons for going, but there was no need to drag Wu Weijun and the others with him to their deaths. Therefore, he asked Wu Weijun if anyone was willing to stay behind, he would get the soap factory in Nangeng City.
The position of the Castellan of Nangeng City could not be passed down. That would depend on Wen Zaifou's appointment. However, the soap factory was Lü Shu's private property. Now, it had almost become one of the largest monopolized industries in Lü Zhou …
In fact, Wu Weijun had a premonition that they might not be able to return after leaving this time. This could be seen from Lü Shu's usual behavior.
They thought that Lü Shu felt that he was destined to lose to the Blackfeather Army and Duanmu Huangqi, so there was a possibility that he might die in battle. However, everyone's morale was high now. Zhang Weiyu and the others had returned to peak Rank 1. The 12 Foreign Officials dressed in python robes were powerful enough, but Zhang Weiyu claimed that he could fight three of them alone …
Therefore, everyone felt that the situation was not as bad as their King imagined. Even if they really could not return, no one was willing to be a deserter.
They had already gone to the capital, so why would they be afraid of Western Region?
Therefore, in the end, no one was willing to stay. Lü Shu was also very helpless. He could only completely abandon the soap empire that he had built with his own hands … If this was on Earth, then Lü Shu would now be the number one boss in the daily chemical industry.
Therefore, in the eyes of others, it was as if Wu Weijun suddenly did not love money. The peddlers were dumbfounded. If Wu Weijun left, who would they find to do business with? Although there were ordinary people working in the soap factory, they did not know the most crucial part of the "alkali mine".
This meant that the entire soap project had stopped!
Just when everyone was panicking, the Blackfeather Army once again launched an attack on the aristocratic army. This time, the number of troops was unprecedented. It was as if they were going to counterattack back to Nanzhou in one go!
However, at this moment, there was a sudden commotion behind the Blackfeather Army. The great aristocrats stood on the city wall and looked at the Blackfeather Army that covered the sky and land. Suddenly, a red torrent appeared behind them. That was the red tassel on Wu Weijun's armor!
