Lu Zhi was known as the sickly beauty's strategist. The reason he could receive such a good reputation was because Yang Wu had given him the opportunity to display his abilities.
In the beginning, he had indeed been able to establish some miraculous achievements. However, later on, no one had taken up the strategies he had offered, which had dealt him quite a blow.
Only then did he understand that it was useless for him to have a body of talent. Someone had to appreciate it and give him authority.
Lu Zhi had already heard of Yang Wu's powerful return and everything he had done on the battlefield. Yang Wu was the greatest contributor, and no one would erase his achievements. Promotion and wealth were inevitable.
Lu Zhi was Yang Wu's strategist. If Yang Wu was glorious, he would be glorious. If Yang Wu was disgraced, he would be disgraced. His kneeling was a thorough expression of his one hundred percent loyalty and would not be disloyal.
Scholars had a backbone. Lu Zhi was offering his backbone to Yang Wu. He wanted to rise along with Yang Wu because only Yang Wu would accept his strategies and give him authority.
Yang Wu helped Lu Zhi up and said, "Lu Zhi, what are you doing? Get up quickly."
"My lord, please accept my kneeling." Lu Zhi said with incomparable sincerity.
At this moment, the soldiers of the Death Legion all gathered around and knelt down. "Commander, please accept our kneeling!"
These soldiers of the Death Legion had long prostrated themselves in admiration of Yang Wu. Now that Yang Wu's performance was even more valiant, no one was unconvinced.
Among them, there were vicious and evil people, rebellious and unruly soldiers, and there were also eccentric people. In short, they were the most difficult group to tame and manage. It was definitely not easy for them to declare their loyalty to Yang Wu at the same time. Even the previous Rose of Death did not have this ability.
This was where Yang Wu's charisma stood out from the masses.
As long as you are willing to follow me, Yang Wu, I will not treat you unfairly. Of course, we are the Death Legion. It doesn't matter what outsiders think of us. The important thing is that we don't want to die ourselves, but make others die. Let the enemy hear our voice and make them flee at the mere sight of us. Do you have this confidence? "Yang Wu looked at these people in front of him and inexplicably worshipped in his heart.
Since he wanted to revive the Yang family, how could it be done without a group of reliable people under him? Could it be that he would be confiscated like before?
No, Yang Wu did not want to repeat the same mistake. He needed his own people. If these people in front of him were willing to follow him, he did not mind to make them belong to him..
After all, they could leave the army as long as they paid enough merits. If he wanted to recruit them, he would have to start now. The day he left the army would also be the day they left.
"We have confidence!" Everyone in the Death Legion responded with a strange glint in their eyes.
They had been abandoned by the army long ago. They had also given up on themselves. Now that someone felt that they were valuable and capable, they wanted to prove that they were not completely useless.
"Very good. You guys recuperate first. Later, this vice commander will personally teach you what the Path of Death is. I will make you a Death Legion that everyone is afraid of!" Yang Wu responded with great satisfaction.
Afterward, Yang Wu called Lu Zhi to the side and asked about the casualties of the Death Legion this time. He also wanted to know if the remaining people were really capable.
Lu Zhi said with great confidence, "My Lord, they are definitely not a problem. As long as you give them a glimmer of hope, they will do their best. Although half of them died in this battle, compared to before, it is much better. This has a lot to do with the military books that my Lord gave me. I had those commanders train them day and night, and the improvement is very obvious."
"That's good. Follow up on this matter. I plan to raise their strength. Tell them that as long as they are willing to follow this vice commander, they will be able to obtain pills, battle arts, and battle skills!" Yang Wu said seriously.
"Cough, cough. With my Lord's words, Lu Zhi promises to subdue them and make them loyal and devoted." Lu Zhi patted his chest and said.
"I can rest assured with you handling things. When Little Hei returns, I will solve your body's problem. You will follow this vice commander and live a good life." Yang Wu said with great pride.
"My … My Lord, can my illness really be cured?" Lu Zhi said with an excited expression.
He had been coughing since he was a child, a doctor had diagnosed him long ago. He would not live past thirty years old, and now he was twenty-two years old. In less than ten years, he would die an unnatural death. Now that Yang Wu said that his illness could be cured, how could he not be excited?
"Don't forget that this vice commander is an alchemist. As long as I can find the right herbs, a single pill can change your fate." Yang Wu said with great confidence.
"If my Lord can save Lu Zhi's life, Lu Zhi will be willing to die for you!" Lu Zhi knelt again and said.
Without waiting for him to kneel, Yang Wu supported him and said, "Alright, I understand your intentions. Do well, and the title of the number one advisor will be yours in the future."
"Yes, My Lord!" Lu Zhi said solemnly.
"You look like a girl when you're so serious. You don't have any masculinity!"
"My Lord, don't be jealous of me. Although I'm a bit more handsome than you, I don't have as much combat strength as you."
"I'm jealous of your face."
"I know my face is handsome, but I can't help it. I was born like this. How sad."
… …
Yang Wu was defeated by Lu Zhi, so he could only go find Shou Hou to see how his injuries were recovering.
However, he didn't go far before he saw Shou Hou rushing over.
"Big Brother!" Shou Hou called out excitedly after seeing Yang Wu from afar.
"I was just about to go find you." Yang Wu said as he looked at the energetic Shou Hou. He then asked, "Are your injuries completely healed?"
Shou Hou patted his body and said, "Not completely, but almost."
It had to be said that Shou Hou's physique was very good. After experiencing such a big battle and serious injuries, he had recovered seventy to eighty percent in such a short time. Although he couldn't compare to Yang Wu's undying body, he wasn't far off.
Yang Wu tossed him a healing pill and said, "Eat it. Don't leave any hidden injuries."
"Thank you, Big Brother. I haven't finished the pills you gave me." Shou Hou unceremoniously swallowed the pill.
When Yang Wu left the army to search for the Frost Spring Mysterious Essence, he left medicinal liquid and pills for Shou Hou and Wan Lanxin. It was precisely because of this that Shou Hou and Wan Lanxin's strength and physique were improving.
"It's good that you're fine. Let me introduce you to someone." Yang Wu pulled Shou Hou over to Lu Zhi.
Lu Zhi saw that Yang Wu had returned with another person. He asked, "Commander, this is?"
"This is my brother Sun Dou. This is my chief advisor Lu Zhi. You two will be Yang Wu's left and right arms in the future. I hope you two can get along well." Yang Wu introduced the two to each other.
Shou Hou asked with a puzzled expression, "This is the sickly beauty advisor Lu Zhi?"
"This one is Lu Zhi. I'm a real man!" Lu Zhi replied as he waved his feather fan.
"You really are a beauty. Big Brother has good taste!" Shou Hou didn't believe Lu Zhi's words at all. Instead, he gave Yang Wu a thumbs up and said.
Lu Zhi had a defeated expression as he said, "If I was really a beauty, your big brother would have already hidden me away in a golden house. Why would he still let me show my face in public? Really."
"Haha, Lu Zhi is indeed a beautiful man. Let's go. Let's find a place to drink." Yang Wu said very happily.
The three of them went to a place with no one around. They took out some wine and some dried meat and began to eat and drink to their heart's content.
These three people would become a trio that would resound throughout the three realms in the future: War God Yang Wu, Staff Demon Sun Dou, and Sickly Beauty Advisor Lu Zhi.
The three of them stayed together for half a day before going their separate ways.
When Yang Wu returned to his tent once again, Wan Lanxin was already dressed neatly. Not a single bit of her body was exposed.
"You took so long to bathe. You made Big Sister wait." Wan Lanxin looked at Yang Wu and joked.
The injuries on her face were clearly much better. Naturally, her mood also became more cheerful.
"Big Sister, what are you talking about? How come I didn't know?" Yang Wu pretended to be ignorant. Then he changed the topic and said, "You stay here and recover. Don't go back."
Wan Lanxin walked closer to Yang Wu and said softly, "Wu, you are a person who will do great things. How can Big Sister drag you down? I believe that the army will soon reward you. When that time comes, you will be a general in the army. You will have a lot of things to attend to every day. I don't want to be a cripple and drag you down."
Yang Wu looked at the sensible woman in front of him. He helped her fix her bangs and said, "It doesn't matter if I am a general in the army or not. You are still my Big Sister. I still have to listen to you."
"This is what you said. Then you have to promise me one thing." Wan Lanxin said seriously.
"Say it. As long as I can do it, I will promise you!"
"Before you reach the peak of the King Realm, don't return to King City!"
Yang Wu was silent!
He really couldn't agree to this.
"I know this is a bit difficult, but the royal family is not as simple as you think. Even if you have the strength to fight against a peak King, if you are their opponent, you have no chance of winning. Or you can take a step back. If the royal family is willing to let bygones be bygones, then let bygones be bygones." Wan Lanxin held Yang Wu's hand and pleaded.
Yang Wu took a light breath and said, "My parents are still waiting for me. I don't want to wait any longer." After pausing for a moment, he said, "But Big Sister is right. I am not strong enough to fight against them. As long as they give me satisfactory conditions, I will compromise. Three months. If they don't give me a sincere reply within three months, I will personally go to the royal palace to ask for it."
At this moment, Yang Wu really wanted to immediately fly back to King City. However, after hearing Wan Lanxin's words, he decided to take a step back. After all, he wasn't truly invincible.
"En, I will go back with you when the time comes." Wan Lanxin knew that Yang Wu's mind was firm, so she didn't try to persuade him.
At this moment, someone came in to report that the marshal had invited Yang Wu to the tent to discuss matters.
