Just as Lü Shu was about to bring Wu Weijun to continue following behind the Blackfeather Army, there was a sudden change that night. Zhang Weiyu came to look for Lü Shu to say goodbye.
Lü Shu was stunned. "Why are you leaving all of a sudden?"
"It's not that we're leaving." Zhang Weiyu shook his head. "We're just returning to Mount Lu Wang first to wait for you guys."
At this moment, Lü Shu looked at their exhausted expressions and suddenly realized that Zhang Weiyu and the others were just ordinary people. They would not be able to withstand the torment of Wu Weijun's long and arduous journey!
Although Lü Shu had long since snatched strong horses for them to use as transportation and would make arrangements for them before any battle so that they would not be affected by the battle, for Zhang Weiyu and the others, just the long and arduous journey was already very tiring.
Therefore, it was not that Zhang Weiyu and the others wanted to leave, but for the sake of Wu Weijun's overall marching speed, they had reached the point where they had to leave. Otherwise, they would only become a burden to the army.
Lü Shu gave it some thought and said, "Why don't I get you guys a palanquin? It might be easier to carry you guys, and you won't have to jolt on the horses. "
However, Zhang Weiyu shook his head. There was a hint of arrogance in his expression. "We're not at the point where we need to be carried. Unless we're seriously injured, that day won't come. You don't have to worry about us. We just need to return to Mount Lu Wang on our own. If you guys come back, we'll rendezvous there … If you guys go to Western Region and never come back, then we'll return to Field Ridge Town after the battle is over. "
Lü Shu was silent for a moment. He knew that Zhang Weiyu and the others had their own pride and strength of character. At the beginning, Lü Shu had only wanted to use Zhang Weiyu and the others to teach Wu Weijun techniques and help him train his troops.
However, over time, they had developed feelings for each other. Lü Shu was not a cold-blooded person.
At this moment, Zhang Weiyu smiled and said, "All good things must come to an end. For Wu Weijun, our wish has been fulfilled. You just need to let them cultivate step by step. I believe that within half a year, their strength will once again increase rapidly!"
Lü Shu was silent. He knew that Zhang Weiyu and the others had made up their minds to leave. In truth, he did not quite understand these people. They would guard Field Ridge Town for an inexplicable reason. Since they could not cultivate themselves, they used Wu Weijun to reminisce about their past.
This group of people had idealism and sentiments that Lv Shu found difficult to comprehend. It was as if Lv Shu himself had possessed the same sentiments when he became the ninth Heavenly Luo.
For the third time, however, Lü Shu asked Zhang Weiyu the same question, "Is it worth it?"
However, this time, before Zhang Weiyu could answer, Lü Shu continued, "For an illusory promise? In order to repay the guilt in his heart? Are you happy in Field Ridge Town? Are you willing to be a small pawn and waste your life on someone else's chessboard? What if you can't wait until that day comes? "
Zhang Weiyu was silent for a moment. Suddenly, he smiled and said, "In this world, who isn't a pawn?"
Lü Shu shook his head and said, "If I were to be treated as a pawn, I would definitely kill the person holding the pawn. Perhaps one day, when you think of the time you've wasted, you will regret it. "
At this moment, Zhang Weiyu, Dong Ye, and the others looked at each other and smiled. They spurred their sturdy black horses towards Mount Lu Wang. Zhang Weiyu smiled and said, "Life is like a game of chess. There are no regrets when you make your move."
The group of fifty-six people spurred their horses forward. Zhang Weiyu suddenly felt as if he had returned to that time. Back then, they were also in high spirits.
He suddenly pulled on the reins and turned to look in the direction that Wu Weijun had left. "This Wu Weijun has succeeded. If they can safely advance to the second rank in half a year's time, they can go anywhere in the world."
"Unfortunately, it will take too long to advance to the first rank." Dong Ye sighed. "We still lack the resources of Mituryū Kanao."
The resources that Dong Ye was referring to were the number of first rank experts.
It was easy to advance to the second rank, but difficult to advance to the first rank. Advancing from the second rank to the first rank required not only resources and cultivation techniques, but also comprehension and aptitude. The reason why Mituryū Kanao was invincible in the world was because there was no battle formation that Mituryū Kanao could not break through. That was the sharpest spear in the world, and it was held in the hands of the Divine King.
"What a pity." Someone suddenly laughed and said, "I didn't think that the day of separation would come so soon. I quite liked that bunch of silly kids. They were really fierce when they fought, just like us in the past."
"I can't bear to part with them either." Another person laughed and said.
Zhang Weiyu's brows were filled with melancholy. Wasn't he the same? However, it was true that they could no longer follow Wu Weijun and continue fighting in the north and south.
At this moment, they suddenly heard the sound of frantic footsteps coming from the direction that Wu Weijun had left. Zhang Weiyu and the rest of the fifty-six people were all stunned and looked at each other in dismay.
Suddenly, Li Heitan's voice came from afar. "Zhang Weiyu, you old rascal, wait for us. We'll return to Mount Lu Wang together!"
Zhang Weiyu looked at Lü Shu in confusion. "Do you know the consequences of returning to Mount Lu Wang with us?"
Lü Shu said casually, "Isn't it just being surrounded by the noble army? Even if the Blackfeather Army enters the mountain, there's nothing we can do about it."
Zhang Weiyu was silent for a long time. Suddenly, he said, "Then do you know the consequences if someone finds out that you're with us? It's fine if we're alone in Wu Weijun's camp, but if someone finds out that there are fifty-six of us in a group... "
To be honest, Lü Shu didn't really want to get involved with Zhang Weiyu and the rest. But if Zhang Weiyu and the rest returned to Mount Lu Wang alone, what would happen if the noble army really went after them?
And that wasn't the most important thing. Lü Shu calmly looked at Zhang Weiyu and asked, "Did you bring any rations?"
Zhang Weiyu was speechless.
"We've already emptied Mount Lu Wang of all its rations. Why didn't you bring any rations back? Are you planning to eat grass?" Lü Shu asked curiously.
[Negative emotions received from Zhang Weiyu, + 666!]
Lü Shu chuckled. "If we're discovered, we can run away together. It's not like we haven't done it before. Don't worry!" With that, Lü Shu turned around and shouted to Wu Weijun, "Let's go home!"
The commander-in-chief of the Blackfeather Army, Li Liang, had already used an artifact to contact his schoolmates in the capital. He wanted to follow Wu Weijun and earn some retirement money, but Wu Weijun never showed up.
Song Ji Casino's Chief Priest, Zhao Shuai, wanted to find Lü Shu to continue opening bets, but he found out that Wu Weijun had suddenly returned to Mount Lu Wang. It was as if he had become a good citizen overnight...
Just like that, a war vanished without any warning. The carnival in King City ended with the gambling dens filling up their coffers. Lv Shu also had a big house in King City.
