The Imperial Dragon squad had been fighting non-stop with the Royal City's rich and powerful families for the entire night. The Li family was the most unlucky one, because they were the ones who were the least prepared.
Setting fire during a night raid was not to destroy the camp, but to create a sense of panic in the enemy.
The flames that filled the sky reminded the wealthy families of the Royal City that even a fool would be on guard.
However, Li Liang didn't care. Just like what he said, the current strength of the Imperial Dragon Class was completely crushing, no matter which family he faced in Royal City. As long as he didn't scatter his forces, there wouldn't be any accidents.
Lü Shu, Lü Xiaoyu, Carole and the others were still on guard. Perhaps the mastermind would launch an attack tonight. Zhang Weiyu and the others seemed to be charging around in their Mountain Quaking Armour, but in fact, their formation had never been disrupted, and they would not stray too far from Lü Shu.
When the Imperial Dragon Class trampled on the third camp of the Royal City's aristocratic families, Li Liang couldn't help but ask doubtfully: "Your Majesty, what does the mastermind behind the scenes want to do? If the Royal City's aristocratic families were sent by them with a fake imperial edict, then would they just watch as the Imperial Dragon Class ate these troops without suffering any losses? That's too strange. "
Lü Shu was silent. He could not reveal the secret that as long as Mituryū Kanao killed, he, Lü Shu, would become stronger. He thought to himself, if his previous guess was right: someone was waiting for him to grow to a certain stage, and then take what he had.
Then the mastermind must know him very well, even what he had on him, and how he was able to level up.
For such an enemy who was familiar with him, why did he send this group of soldiers who were clearly sending themselves to their deaths, to let the Imperial Dragon Class go on a killing spree? To let Lü Shu level up?
This made Lü Shu very unhappy, because the other party seemed to have him in their grasp. Giving him a chance to level up meant that the other party was not afraid of him levelling up.
Li Liang asked curiously, "Your Majesty, do you have any guesses as to who is targeting you?"
Lü Shu shook his head, "I do not have a concrete answer yet. I have only ruled out Wen Zaifou for now."
Li Liang did not dare to casually voice his opinion. After all, it would involve the Emperor Of Heaven. He would not be able to bear the responsibility if his judgment was wrong.
When Zhang Weiyu led the inner palace past Lü Shu, Lü Shu suddenly pulled Zhang Weiyu and asked, "What kind of people do you think Yu Fuyao and Qingkong are?"
Zhang Weiyu stared blankly for a moment. "My impression of Yu Fuyao is that he changes gigolos every month, and those gigolos are meticulously selected. It seems like they value talent a lot. Men probably don't have a good impression of Yu Fuyao. As for Qingkong …"
Speaking up to this point, Zhang Weiyu suddenly realized that his impression of Qingkong was very weak. He was like the most normal Emperor Of Heaven, dealing with official affairs, occasionally cultivating in seclusion, and being respectful to the Old Divine King.
Compared to the other Emperors Of Heaven, Qingkong was like a normal lunatic.
Speaking of which, that old man called Qingkong was really conscientious and conscientious in managing the great lands for the Divine King. Usually, everyone in the Northern Province praised the achievements of the Northern Emperor Of Heaven, Qingkong.
The local residents were praising him because the weather in the Northern Province was good, and the country was peaceful. The oppression of the nobles would be stopped at the right time, and the Emperor Of Heaven would give the nobles some benefits, such as reducing taxes.
Foreign merchants were also praising Qingkong because the Northern Province placed the most importance on business and had the lowest taxes.
In Lü Zhou's opinion, Qingkong was probably the best among the Emperor Of Heaven. Of course, Qingkong relied on his peers to set him off. Wen Zaifou did not care about political affairs, the Emperor Of Heaven changed gigolos every month, and Duanmu Huangqi was overbearing and paranoid. In comparison, Qingkong was like heaven.
Zhang Weiyu thought for a moment and said, "My impression of Qingkong is that he's a good person. Every time he comes to the capital to report, he'll bring a lot of local specialties from the Northern Province. He's always smiling like a grandpa next door, and he's also very low-key."
Lü Shu suddenly felt that something was wrong. The other three Emperor Of Heaven were too abnormal, and Qingkong seemed very out of place in comparison.
It was not that it was bad to be normal, but Lü Shu had a feeling that something was wrong. The other three were very abnormal, so why was Qingkong so normal?
He also hoped that his suspicions were wrong, because until now, he had not had much interaction with Qingkong. However, he had to be wary of everyone now.
Li Liang thought for a moment and said, "Your Majesty, we must be wary of others. There are many troubles in this world caused by honest people, so we have to be wary."
Lü Shu nodded. "Let's end tonight's battle first. Tell everyone to continue to be careful in case a third party suddenly intervenes in the battle!"
"Yes." Li Liang, Zhang Weiyu, and the others received the order and left.
Lü Xiaoyu asked from the side, "What do you think the person behind the scenes wants?"
Lü Shu smiled. "Don't worry about what he wants. Dead people don't need anything."
"Then let me ask you a question." Lü Xiaoyu asked curiously, "Do you know why you didn't open the seventh level in your previous life? Do you have any memories of that?"
"No, I didn't inherit that memory," Lü Shu said casually, "Eh, Zhang Weiyu and the others are in danger. I'll go help them."
"Pfft." Lü Xiaoyu said disdainfully. At this time, she looked at Carole on the other side of the battlefield. The two of them seemed to have some tacit understanding to look at each other and then looked away at the same time.
The flames of war spread all the way to the west. The Sun and Song families received Liu Yizhao's warning in advance, but the other great families were not so lucky.
When the Sun family and the Song family retreated, the scouts of the other families reported this information. Everyone guessed that the Sun family and the Song family might have received some news, but they did not have the determination of the Sun family and the Song family. Because retreating was equivalent to disobeying the decree.
At the same time, the rat tide also reported the actions of the Sun and Song clans. Lv Shu was relieved when he heard that the two clans were indeed retreating at full speed. Otherwise, he would have no choice but to kill the two clans without mercy.
When Mituryū Kanao destroyed the third camp, the remaining nine great families finally decided to join forces against the enemy. At this time, they finally figured out who was behind the night attack, but they were no match for Lü Shu and the others at all. They could only join forces in a hurry.
At this time, they still hoped that Lü Shu and the others would not be crazy enough to go against all the great families in the capital. In their opinion, they should at least be afraid of the enemy from the Western Capital, right?
But they were wrong, or rather, anyone who judged Mituryū Kanao's enemies with common sense was wrong.
