Zhang Weiyu squatted on the ground, panting. He had used up too much energy when he was running for his life. Fortunately, he had been eating well recently, or else he probably wouldn't have been able to run.
Lü Shu looked at Zhang Weiyu. "You're not an ordinary civilian."
Zhang Weiyu smiled. "You're not an ordinary slave either."
Lü Shu's face darkened for a moment. Why did he feel like Zhang Weiyu was still cursing him …
"What do we do now?" Lü Shu looked at Zhang Weiyu. "The Blackfeather Army's scouts are here. How long until their reinforcements arrive?"
"Under normal circumstances, the Blackfeather Army's scouts will be about 15 kilometers away from the main vanguard, but the Blackfeather Army's scouts usually won't take the initiative to kill unless the main army is right behind them and they want to capture the locals to understand the situation!" Zhang Weiyu analyzed. "We need to run now, but the vanguard won't have too many people. Field Ridge Town isn't a particularly important strategic location. Let's go. Since you saved my life, you can avoid this war if you follow me!"
Lü Shu was stunned. He saw Zhang Weiyu walk toward a forest in the north after he finished speaking. He asked curiously, "Wait, shouldn't we go to the town to tell the others to prepare for battle?"
Zhang Weiyu shook his head. "Which war doesn't have people dying? Besides, if the people in Field Ridge Town die, then so be it. This is a game between the Emperor Heaven. The people below them are like ants. Who cares? "
"Don't you have any feelings for this place? What will happen to your crops if they attack?" Lü Shu was puzzled.
"My crops aren't ripe yet, so they definitely won't cut them away. They want to occupy them for a long time. When that time comes, won't they need civilians and slaves to farm? The war has nothing to do with us. As long as we avoid the first wave of friendly fire, we can still farm after they occupy it, "Zhang Weiyu said nonchalantly.
Lü Shu finally understood. The purpose of the war between the two sides was to kill off the slave masters and the nobles of each other to expand their own territories. However, the commoners and ordinary slaves were of no threat at all, and the land was still important.
This was like changing leaders in the workplace. No matter how the dynasty changed, people still needed to work, and no one would be ruthless.
This was not the hatred between the two races. It had not reached the point where they would fight to the death. Even the commoners and ordinary slaves were used to it.
According to Zhang Weiyu, the war had been going on for more than ten years, and those who could survive would more or less have some survival wisdom.
"No." Lü Shu shook his head. "It's not a big deal. I think we should at least tell House Yu."
He deliberately avoided that girl named Yu Die, and even pretended not to understand her hints. However, it was true that he had relied on the things she had sent him to achieve Fusing with the Way without any worries during this period of time.
It was reasonable for him to inform them of danger, and it wouldn't cost him anything.
Zhang Weiyu saw how righteous Lü Shu was and said, "Then you go, I'll leave first."
With that, Zhang Weiyu turned around and left, but … he didn't move …
"Let go of me …" Zhang Weiyu was speechless.
"Where are you going?" Lü Shu laughed. "Come with me. I know you must have a place to hide from the war. Bring me there after you're done."
Lü Shu wouldn't let this guy go. This Zhang Weiyu was cunning, but he wasn't a bad person. He needed someone like this when he first came here. If he had a place to hide, then Lü Shu could continue his sword training there.
By the time the war was over, his strength might have advanced by leaps and bounds.
Lü Shu didn't want to participate in this war. He was just a passerby, and it had nothing to do with him no matter how many people died. Therefore, after informing him of the danger, it was more important to hide with Zhang Weiyu, the slippery fellow. In this way, he couldn't let Zhang Weiyu leave.
Zhang Weiyu's physical fitness was not even as good as an ordinary person's. He was dragged by Lü Shu for a few hundred meters, his legs drawing two tracks on the ground. If the Blackfeather Army were to follow behind, these two tracks would be like arrows …
Later, Zhang Weiyu found that he really couldn't escape and gave up. As soon as he entered the town, he sighed and followed behind Lü Shu. "It's just a few snacks, don't tell me you've taken a fancy to her. Let me tell you, it's impossible for a commoner and a great slave owner. Don't believe those storytellers, it's all to deceive children. Although your swordsmanship is very good, have you ever thought about what to do in the future? A commoner can only be a slave to the nobles now. Even if you're particularly powerful, you can be a slave to the Southern Emperor Of Heaven, Wen Zaifou. The two of you are still different. She won't marry a slave. "
Lü Shu curiously said, "I'm not interested in her, but didn't you say that those who create their own martial arts can become a master?"
"That was when the Old Divine King was still alive. Now it's not so open-minded. The slave owners and nobles can't even divide their own territories. How can they allow you to have a share? And how long will it take for you to grow? Ten years or twenty years? Or even longer? There are too many variables in this. " Zhang Weiyu mocked, "If the Blackfeather Army comes now, the whole town will be finished. It'll be too late to run."
Lü Shu pointed the podao in his hand at Zhang Weiyu, expressionless. "Ptui ptui ptui."
Zhang Weiyu, "… Ptui ptui ptui."
"Negative emotions from Zhang Weiyu, + 666!"
What kind of person was this!
Zhang Weiyu whispered, "Even if your swordsmanship is high, can you kill a thousand people with one strike?"
Lü Shu glanced at him. Zhang Weiyu might not believe it, but he really did do it …
Suddenly, Lü Shu heard the sound of hooves. It was a group from House Yu coming out of the town, and the one leading them was Yu Die.
When Yu Die saw Lv Shu, she stared blankly for a moment before exclaiming in pleasant surprise, "Why are you here? Are you here to find me?"
Lü Shu was surprised as well. "Where are you going?"
"I'm under orders from the garrison to patrol the border," Yu Die said.
The guardian was none other than the third rank noble lord of Field Ridge Town.
"Don't go." Lü Shu said, but he didn't know how to say it. Lü Shu turned his eyes to Zhang Weiyu. "Uncle, you say it."
Uncle Zhang Weiyu kept his mouth shut and smiled. He knew that this young man's ability to take things out of context was too strong, and he was no match for him at all. This was called learning from experience …
"Negative emotions from Zhang Weiyu, + 481!"
At that moment, Zhang Weiyu heard the sound of hooves from afar. It was as if there were tens of thousands of war drums beating. He could even imagine the flag of the Blackfeather Army fluttering in the dark night.
"Oh no, the scout's been exposed. The Blackfeather Army must've chosen to launch a surprise attack to avoid any trouble. They want to end the battle quickly while the town is unprepared!" Zhang Weiyu was shocked.
