"I say, can you guys not follow me so closely?" Sun Zhongyang glared at the other families. "Why don't you just ride on the same horse as me?"
The other families smiled insincerely and said, "Your Sun family is in such a hurry to go to the Western Capital. Who knows what you're planning? Why? Do you want to go to the Emperor Of Heaven to claim credit? Why, do you want to be superior in the capital just because you have a Great Grandmaster? "
Sun Zhongyang suddenly realized that Duanmu Huangqi had never been very fond of the capital's wealthy families. He had always treated them like ants. And now, it seemed that the other wealthy families thought that this was an opportunity to form ties with Duanmu Huangqi.
After all, Lü Zhou was about to be reshuffled. If they had the support of the Emperor Of Heaven, they would be more stable.
However, Sun Zhongyang really did not agree with this view. Working with Duanmu Huangqi was really asking a tiger for its skin. This was because Duanmu Huangqi was too suspicious and self-opinionated.
The Sun family was unwilling to form ties with Duanmu Huangqi even though they had a Great Grandmaster. If Lü Shu was really defeated, even if these ordinary wealthy families really relied on Duanmu Huangqi in the future, they would still be devoured by Duanmu Huangqi.
But Lü Shu was different. Sun Zhongyang knew that although Lü Shu was cautious and suspicious, he still had some principles...
Suddenly, several people in the team were stunned. It was the communication mirror that was trembling!
They took out their communication mirrors and were shocked to receive new news. The people in the Divine King's palace seemed to be dissatisfied with the number of people sent by the wealthy families. They actually issued another imperial edict, ordering every wealthy family to send 10,000 troops!
The wealthy families in the capital originally wanted to just send a few people. They had done many things in the past. However, this time, the Divine King's palace did not allow them to get away with it!
In other words, Sun Zhongyang and the others actually had an army of one hundred and forty thousand rushing towards the battlefield. Sun Zhongyang couldn't help but frown. Could Lv Shu really withstand the pressure of one hundred and forty thousand soldiers and Duanmu Huangqi?
Sun Zhongyang frowned. Why had Jianlu not made any moves until now?
Had Jianlu given up on Lü Shu? Or did they not think that Duanmu Huangqi and the wealthy families could do anything to Lü Shu?
The former was very reasonable. After all, Jianlu did not have any precedent of disobeying the Divine King's palace. Although the master of Jianlu had torn down half of the Divine King's palace, the master of Jianlu was, after all, special.
But if the truth was the latter, for example, Jianlu really trusted Lü Shu too much. Then, what kind of position did Lü Shu have in the eyes of that senior of Jianlu?
Not thinking about it, Sun Zhongyang felt that his level was not high enough to understand these things. He simply continued on his journey.
Logically speaking, they should be waiting for their own troops to meet up with them. However, Sun Zhongyang once again led the servants of the Sun Family on his journey alone. This left the other families with no choice but to continue following …
Some people were unhappy and wanted to stop the Sun Family from acting alone. In the end, Sun Zhongyang sneered, "If you think it's too tiring, you can choose not to follow."
Everyone was silent. Although they did not say it out loud, they were already cursing in their hearts. If it was not for the Sun Family rushing day and night, everyone could have walked over in a leisurely manner.
If Duanmu Huangqi had already killed Lü Shu by the time they arrived, that would be the best. Everyone could continue to be rich and idle people.
In fact, a few of the wealthy families had wanted to delay time from the beginning. Unfortunately, their plans could not keep up with the changes.
Along the way, news of Lü Shu and the others continuously destroying cities came one after another. Moreover, there were civilians in these cities, and Mituryū Kanao did not kill civilians. Therefore, compared to the destruction of Keep Sword Pass, the process of these cities being conquered was more complete in front of the wealthy families of Royal City.
The organized information was somewhat alarming. It was said that when Lü Shu and the others destroyed the city yesterday, there were only about 50 people in the entire Wu Weijun.
A city was actually destroyed by more than 50 people, and they were unable to fight back.
Wu Weijun's current strength was becoming more and more unfathomable.
There had never been an army as ferocious as Wu Weijun … No, there used to be such an unparalleled army, but it had disappeared now: Mituryū Kanao.
Sometimes, Sun Zhongyang thought that if Mituryū Kanao were to reappear in the world, he would probably be no better than this.
What he did not know was that Wu Weijun had already changed his name to Mituryū Kanao, and he had not personally faced Mituryū Kanao's ferocity.
One had to know that when the cities in Western Region that had not been conquered saw Zhang Weiyu and the others, it was as if they were looking at their father …
According to Sun Zhongyang's plan, he would probably encounter Lü Shu in a day's time. Right now, his mind was constantly thinking about how to deal with the relationship between the wealthy families and Lü Shu, and how to make the Sun family appear to be neither servile nor overbearing.
Sun Xiuwen was currently keeping vigil for the previous generation's family head at the ancestral grave outside the royal city. In fact, he had to stay in the royal city and observe the movements of the Divine King's palace.
Sun Zhongyang was actually very close to his grandfather, and he also wanted to keep vigil for him. However, with the revolution looming, he could not wait any longer.
When night fell, all the wealthy families' teams stopped. They started a fire and cooked on the spot. After a short rest, they continued on their journey.
At this moment, the other wealthy families were on the verge of breaking down. They did not know why Sun Zhongyang was in such a hurry to travel. They were clearly a group of pampered old masters in the royal city, but in the end, they were all on the verge of falling apart!
Someone sitting by the bonfire looked at the Sun family and sneered. "The Sun family is trying to get rid of the other wealthy families now that they have a Great Grandmaster. However, you have to know that the wealthy families in the royal city have been able to stand tall until now because their ancestors understood the principle of interdependence. When has the Sun family ever seen the wealthy families fight each other to the point where they are at each other's throats?"
This person's voice was not soft, and his original intention was for Sun Zhongyang to hear.
Of course, what he said was not wrong. The wealthy families in the royal city did not even have a Great Grandmaster in the past. In fact, this was because they had always advanced and retreated together in the face of life and death issues. However, now, this relationship seemed to be severed.
Sun Zhongyang frowned and did not say a word because he could not say it.
He could not possibly tell these people that the Sun family felt that the world was about to change, and that the Sun family felt that Lü Zhou was probably going to lose an Emperor Of Heaven soon! This would be too sensational, and there would be people who would betray the Sun family on the spot.
Just as the wealthy families were at daggers drawn, someone suddenly said, "That … Excuse me, but I'm very sorry to inform you that you have been surrounded …"
Sun Zhongyang and the others looked around in shock. It was unknown when countless armored soldiers had appeared around the camp. Those armored soldiers were even mumbling softly, "Are these people here to fight? Why do they look so miserable? "
"Could they be refugees?"
"Forget it. Anyway, there must be a problem for them to suddenly appear here …"
And among these armored soldiers, there was a large flag embroidered with the words "Get Rich" fluttering in the night wind.
