Some people said that half of the prosperity of Royal City was due to the rich and powerful families of Royal City. Ninety-nine percent of the industries in Royal City belonged to them.
When the news of Lü Shu's return reached Royal City, there was movement in those quiet deep mansions. Among the red walls and grey tiles, lights gradually lit up the night of Royal City.
The path between the rockery and the landscape was quiet. Usually, the servants here would take small steps and behave quietly. This was because the servants were afraid of disturbing the master and being punished.
It was a little slave running on the road. The housekeeper of the inner mansion glared at him when he saw him. He put his hands in his sleeves and scolded in a shrill voice, "What's with the fluster?"
The inner mansion was not like the outer mansion. For example, a foreign affairs manager like Xiao Mingze was no different from a normal person. But if one wanted to work in the inner mansion, the slaves must be clean to prevent them from causing trouble in the inner mansion.
"Sir, there's really important news. Our spy in Nan Geng City sent back a message saying that there's something important to report." The little slave said and handed a communication mirror to the housekeeper.
When the housekeeper heard that it was about Nan Geng City, he didn't care about propriety anymore. He quickly used a trace of spiritual power to awaken the communication mirror. He saw a person in the mirror saying, "Sir, Wu Weijun has returned to Lü Zhou today. He reorganized himself in Nan Geng City and went west."
"West?" The housekeeper raised his eyebrows. "Is he going to Xi State? They're not going to kill Duanmu Huangqi, are they? "
"I don't dare to make a rash judgment." The spy said carefully. If he made a wrong judgment on such a big matter, he would have to pay the price. So what he could do was to provide information. As for what was going to happen, it had nothing to do with them.
Working for a powerful family was like asking a tiger for its skin. They had to be cautious.
The housekeeper pondered for a moment and said, "How many people does Wu Weijun have now?"
"More than five thousand." The spy said, "This number can't be wrong. I've just received news that as soon as they returned, they defeated the slave masters who gathered at the border of the Western and Southern Prefectures. Their strength didn't decrease but increased instead. The current Wu Weijun is even more terrifying."
The butler frowned and said, "Didn't you say that they were destroyed by Duanmu Huangqi? Why? The 200,000 Blackfeather Army is gone, but they haven't been weakened at all? What happened in that battle? "
"I don't know." The spy lowered his head and secretly rolled his eyes. If it wasn't for the news that Wu Weijun was killed by Duanmu Huangqi, how could he go to such a dangerous place like Nan Geng City?
A group of spies had indeed left today, but many of them had also been killed.
What happened in the battle between Wu Weijun and the Blackfeather Army was something that the entire Lü Zhou wanted to know. The 200,000 Blackfeather Army was gone. Now that Duanmu Huangqi had returned to the Western Capital and lived in seclusion, there was no reliable information.
However, the spy couldn't understand why Wu Weijun seemed to be fine. Could it be that Duanmu Huangqi was defeated in that battle?
Thinking of this, everyone couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable. That was the Emperor Of Heaven of the West. How could a young man suddenly jump out and fight against the Emperor Of Heaven of the West?
And the most important thing now was that Wu Weijun had been traveling all the way to the West to kill Duanmu Huangqi. If he killed the Emperor Of Heaven, Lü Zhou would really be in chaos!
The housekeeper thought for a long time and suddenly said, "Is there anything else unusual?"
"Now that you mention it, I really remember something." The spy thought for a moment and said, "After they rested in the camp, we sneaked into the camp to see if there were any clues, and we found something unusual."
"Hurry up and tell us. Don't keep us in suspense at this time." The housekeeper frowned.
"… They roasted a few lambs, but left without eating," the spy said.
The lamb looked delicious, and it smelled much better than the lamb they usually ate. But why didn't Wu Weijun eat it? It was too strange!
The housekeeper was stunned for a long time. "That's it?"
That's the unusual thing you said?
The spy hesitated for a long time. "Yes, that's it … You have no idea how delicious the lamb smelled!"
The housekeeper turned off the communication mirror. "Get out of here."
The spy felt wronged. He couldn't even walk after smelling the lamb. How did Wu Weijun put down the lamb and leave? It was indeed very strange, okay?
At this moment, the Imperial Dragon Class was marching at full speed on the road. Lv Shu looked at the densely packed negative emotions in the background and beamed with joy. Recently, he especially wanted to quickly light up all the stars in the sixth layer of nebula. Not only was it a matter of leveling up, at that time, he could also justifiably get rid of the filth.
Now that the filth was hiding on the main star of the sixth nebula and was not under Lü Shu's control, it made Lü Shu very unhappy.
And he was about to face a powerful enemy, of course, the stronger he was, the better. At this time, he didn't have a good way to absorb the negative emotions. Other than killing the slave master, the only ones he could use for now were Li Heitan and the others.
The lamb could not be eaten, but it had to be worth the price.
Li Heitan and the others were going crazy. The lamb was roasted, but they were not allowed to eat it. My king, isn't this a pledging ceremony? A proper pledging ceremony should be people eating and drinking, then smashing their bowls and rushing to the battlefield excitedly! Who would deliberately disgust people at a pledging ceremony?
At first, everyone thought that Lü Shu had forgotten about it, but later they found out that Lü Shu did not forget about it at all, so he did it on purpose …
The king was still the king, at least his bad taste in pissing people off had not changed at all …
The butler of the Royal City's wealthy family walked deeper into the courtyard. He wanted to inform the master of this matter that could affect the entire situation of Lü Zhou, so he could not be careless.
Similar things were happening in many places in Royal City.
At first, everyone thought that Wu Weijun was lucky enough to return to Nangeng City after leaving Royal City. No one expected that Wu Weijun had slaughtered 200,000 Blackfeather Army at that time.
Later, when everyone heard that Wu Weijun had been killed, they actually felt that it was only natural. After all, Wu Weijun was facing the Western Emperor Of Heaven, so it would be strange if he was not killed.
In everyone's opinion, the four Emperors Of Heaven were the most powerful martial grandmasters in this world, and their strength was unfathomable.
But now, not only had Wu Weijun returned, but he was also heading west, looking like he was going to kill Duanmu Huangqi!
Although that young man from Royal City had caused a great commotion when he came to the capital, no one expected him to be able to shake the thousand-year order of power in Lü Zhou!
Someone was going to challenge the authority of the Emperor Of Heaven!
Deep in the courtyard, a master said calmly, "If Wu Weijun really wants to go west to find Duanmu Huangqi, then he will have to pass through the Keep Sword Pass first. There are many natural strongholds there, so it will not be easy for Wu Weijun …"
Suddenly, a voice came from outside, "Report! The Keep Sword Pass has been broken! "
Master: "…"
