The group of Wang Scholars suddenly disappeared from the face of the earth after being touched by Lü Shu. It was as if these Wang Scholars had never existed in this world.
Logically speaking, it was easy for Lü Shu to make the heads of these wealthy families disappear, but Lü Shu did not do so. Why?
Everyone understood that a war in Lü Zhou could break out at any moment. Who could say for sure how many people would die then? Wouldn't the wealthy families of Royal City be cannon fodder?
Moreover, they received news that Sun Xiuwen was not in a hurry to gather the officials of Western Prefecture after obtaining it. Instead, he was trying his best to gather all the available soldiers and provisions in Western Prefecture and would head to Royal City in a few days.
This news surprised the other wealthy family heads because they could see Sun Xiuwen's determination to cozy up to Lü Shu!
He had just obtained Western Prefecture, but he did not enjoy his power. Instead, he immediately reorganized the military affairs and came to Royal City to prepare for war!
He really wanted to tie himself firmly to Lü Shu's chariot. The wealthy family heads still wanted to avoid it, but Sun Xiuwen was afraid that he would fall behind, so his attitude was very different.
It had to be said that Sun Xiuwen's attitude was already there. Even if the Western Prefecture army was not of great use, as long as Lü Shu won this war, Sun Xiuwen's position as Emperor Of Heaven would be secured.
This was the thinking of a powerful minister. Staying out of it was equivalent to handing over power to others.
Thinking of this, the wealthy family heads felt that there was indeed a reason why Sun Xiuwen could become the Western Emperor Of Heaven.
But what could they do? They could only be tied to this chariot and go with the flow. They could even imagine that even if they were not willing to get on the chariot, Sun Xiuwen's Western Prefecture army would firmly control them when they arrived.
But what could they do? There was no way out!
They did not even know how Lü Shu had so accurately grasped their actions. They also did not know that an inconspicuous pawn like Xiao Mingze had played a great role in this round.
What was Xiao Mingze in their eyes? He was just a gambling den manager, an ant-like existence.
But who would have thought that Xiao Mingze had managed so many forces in the dark, to the point that he could even retaliate against the rich and powerful families!
There was only one gambling den manager in the entire Royal City who was so daring, yet he was met by Lü Shu. How was he supposed to explain this?
However, this seemingly accidental incident was actually inevitable. If Xiao Mingze wasn't a person with ambition and confidence, he would probably be like the other shopkeepers and be content with being a shopkeeper. How would he dare to use the treasures in the main house to help Lü Shu?
Now, the heads of the rich and powerful families had a kind of fear of the unknown. It was as if everything was in the hands of Lü Shu, and they did not dare to act rashly.
Many people thought that they would rather break than bend in times of danger, but when it really came to that, they would forget everything they usually said, and only think about the four words "it's good to be alive".
Mituryū Kanao followed Lü Shu, but it was a little strange that there was always a Flaming Cloud Colt in the inner palace, but Lü Shu still had to walk in front, which seemed a little unimposing.
Lü Shu thought for a moment and released a new Flaming Cloud Colt from the star chart. But before he could sit on it, the Flaming Cloud Colt actually dodged in panic and said, "Don't touch me!"
Lü Shu, "Oh, so it's you …"
With that, Lü Shu stuffed Lu Kongming back into the star chart. Only then did he remember that there was still a horse in the Flaming Cloud Colt that had been possessed …
Zhang Weiyu and the others were sensible. Seeing this awkward situation, they immediately dismounted and walked with Lü Shu. Along the way, there was actually no one who dared to peep at them in the huge Royal City.
The commoners and nobles of the Royal City could only hear the heavy sound of hooves. They realized that Mituryū Kanao was heading in the direction of the Divine King's Palace.
Some people couldn't help but be curious. Recently, there had been a lot of rumors going around in the Royal City that the Divine King's Palace had been ownerless for many years, but the reappearance of the imperial edict made it hard for people to confirm the truth.
Now that Lü Shu and the others were heading straight for the Divine King's Palace, everyone was guessing if a war was going to break out, or if there was really no one in the Divine King's Palace?
Behind Zhang Weiyu and the others, Li Heitan and the others were carrying stacks of books, going from door to door and throwing a book at every door.
When the commoners heard the sound of paper, they waited for Mituryū Kanao to walk over and couldn't help but open the door to take the book in and quietly look at it. In the end, their expressions were exactly the same as the Royal Scholars' …
What was the point of giving out these books at such an important moment?
But there was no time to think about this now. They were already shocked by the contents of the books …
For so many years, everyone had firmly believed in the image of the Old Divine King as a Sage of Literature, but in an instant, it began to collapse …
When Lü Shu felt that his negative emotion points began to increase, he finally heaved a sigh of relief. There were so many negative emotion points left, it was really too difficult to deal with!
Mituryū Kanao walked from the Peach Blossom Hall to the Divine King's Palace as if he was patrolling his territory.
Last time, they came in a hurry and left in a hurry, so they always looked a little embarrassed.
But this time, Lü Shu couldn't wait for someone to suddenly stand up and say that they wanted to kill him, so that he might be able to find more clues.
Unfortunately, until they walked to the front of the Divine King's Palace, no one even dared to make a sound.
Lü Shu stood in front of the Divine King's Palace and laughed silently. Then, he suddenly pushed the door of the Divine King's Palace open. The door, which was as tall as a few people, had not been opened for god knows how long. When Lü Shu pushed it open, the creaking sound of the door slowly opening could even be heard from a few miles away.
Those who were waiting for this moment felt as if their hearts had been grabbed by someone and then lifted up.
The door of the Divine King's Palace was finally opened. Sometimes when pedestrians passed by, they saw that the copper rivets on the red palace door were beginning to rust, but there was still no movement inside. The huge Divine King's Palace was like a huge isolated island, no one dared to approach, and no one knew what was happening inside.
Lü Shu walked in, and at this time, there were finally people who could not help but come out of their homes. They found that Mituryū Kanao actually did not kill the innocent, so they slowly approached to see what was going on.
Some people would later feel that they were too bold, but at this moment, curiosity seemed to win over everything.
They watched from afar, and just happened to see the young man standing at the forefront of Mituryū Kanao's armored soldiers like the moon surrounded by stars. He was looking into the hole in the Divine King's Palace, separated by a door that had already been opened, as if he was facing an invisible will.
To the people of Royal City, the young man who had his back facing them and was facing the Divine King's Palace suddenly had a familiar aura. It was as if he had finally returned, and nothing had changed.
Lv Shu lifted his feet and walked inside. Every step he took was steady and his figure was tall and straight.
Zhang Weiyu and the others from the inner palace looked at this back with complicated feelings. When they first went to Mount Lu Wang, they never thought that they would one day accompany this young man to rule the world again.
