“The aristocrats have probably forgotten how to fight . Even their supplies were taken away by the bandits . The longer they live, the more backward they become,” said Wen Zaifou calmly . All the aristocrats looked at Lu Shu, who was beside Wen Zaifou…

“From Peng Haoming’s distress, +666…”

“From…”

Lu Shu silently remembered their names and their faces . They were the 12 aristocrats who had the most power in the North Region . He might be able to work with them in the future .

Wen Zaifou suddenly said, “Look at what he is doing . He is the commander of the Wei Wu Army, not a bandit . ”

The aristocrats were dumbfounded . They did not believe that the Lord of Heaven did not know about the details . Thus, he had said this to protect the Wei Wu Army . From now on, the Wei Wu Army would be the Wei Wu Army . The bandits with the slogan “Escape Poverty and Make a Fortune” would have absolutely nothing to do with them!

“Yes, yes, yes . Lord of Heaven you are right,” said the aristocrats .

“Since the 12 top aristocrats of the North Region are all gathered here, so be it . The city is for you to play with . Take another ten cities from the Black Feather Army and return them to me,” said Wen Zaifou . “If you are unable to do so, you do not need to return . ”

The aristocrats did not expect the punishment to be so heavy . They had fought towards the West Region . Even if 12 aristocrat families were involved, they did not have to spend so much on war .

If they had lost, they would have to suffer an even more severe punishment . Even if they won, they had to take responsibility!

But they forced themselves to say, “We will respect the commands from the Lord of Heaven!”

Who dared to object to him? The Lord of Heaven would hit them .

Typically, this Lord of Heaven was frustrated by the cheap tricks the people played . Furthermore, he focused his energy on training and did not pay much attention to governance . There were both pros and cons to this . If they made contributions, they would be rewarded handsomely . They did not have to be on the edge in fear of being investigated .

The 12 aristocrats quickly came and went . When they left, one of them complained, “It’s all because the seven of you were greedy and wanted to occupy these five strategic passes . Now, the five of us have to clean up your mess!”

Originally, only seven aristocrats had been involved in this .

“The Lord of Heaven favors the Wei Wu Army now . Don’t provoke them! His punishment might have been severe because he wants to help the Wei Wu Army!”

Someone argued, “How could we guess the Lord of Heaven would care so much about the Wei Wu Army! Furthermore, since when did we provoke the Wei Wu Army? They were the ones who attacked first!”

The aristocrats were depressed . Their armies had been starving for the past half a month . Who had been provoked?!

Thus, just as the Black Feather Army retreated to the West Region, Li Liang decided to take a breather and retire from his current position . But before he could catch his breath, the aristocrat armies had started to chase them from the North Region .

Li Liang felt sick . Was it so difficult for him to leave?

Wen Zaifou waited for the aristocrats to leave before asking curiously, “Are you sure that you don’t want the cities that most can only dream of?”

“No . ” Lu Shu said in a serious tone, “Can they guard the cities, while I collect taxes…”

At that moment, Zhang Weiyu suddenly said something to Lu Shu in a small voice . Lu Shu said, “We want Yun An City . ”

“Sure . ” Wen Zaifou nodded his head . “Then you will be given Nangeng City . ”

“No, wait . I said that I wanted Yun An City!” Lu Shu was shocked . Were you having difficulty hearing?

Wen Zaifou did not bother about Lu Shu . He turned and walked away . It was as if there was an endless void behind him . He disappeared into thin air .

Lu Shu was dumbfounded . What was this? Was this a special technique that Shen Cang Jing possessed?

The next moment, Lu Shu smiled . “This method is quite effective . Has he always been so troublesome?”

They had discussed this three days ago . If the Lord of Heaven talked about giving them rewards, they would take Nangeng City . But they could not directly say what they wanted… Wen Zaifou would not give them what they directly demanded for .

At first, Lu Shu was puzzled . Was this to stop people from coming up with conspiracies? But Zhang Weiyu said that this was not the case . Wen Zaifou liked to tease people and see the shocked expressions of others .

“You said that the Lord of Heaven was your former teacher?” Lu Shu asked curiously . “The old King of Gods must have trusted him greatly . How did he become a Lord of Heaven?”

“Because the old King of Gods was too annoyed by him…” Zhang Weiyu said calmly, “He no longer wanted to see him, so he made him go far away…”

Lu Shu was dumbstruck . This was possible?

Zhang Weiyu said, “In the past, our hiding place in the village had never been discovered by the Black Feather Army . But this time, it is different . It is as if the Black Feather Army had come to where we were hiding . I suspect that he intentionally exposed our hiding place and forced us to appear . ”

“Does he want to kill you?” Lu Shu asked with some doubt . With Wen Zaifou’s earlier behavior, and Zhang Weiyu’s words, Zhang Weiyu’s guess was not impossible .

“He felt that we have suffered too much and does not want us to die in the fields . ” Zhang Weiyu sighed . “I even suspect that his announcement of isolation is fake . It is possible that he has always been observing this war . If not, why would he pay attention to what is happening outside?”

Lu Shu thought about it . If this was truly the case, then all the actions of the aristocrats had been seen by the Lord of Heaven . Wen Zaifou might have been bored with nothing to do and wanted to reorganize them .

If one had lived for a long time, they would be bored without something to do . They would come up with some strange hobby . If not, how would they pass the time…

But Lu Shu felt that something was wrong as Liu Yizhao had misunderstood his identity . Thus, he was worried that Wen Zaifou would think about the same thing . Furthermore, no one was sure whether Wen Zaifou was an enemy or an ally .

But Zhang Weiyu’s explanation caused Wen Zaifou to continue with the flow . It was as if everything was far too simple .

Lu Shu was slightly melancholic . He had been lying low . How did he get involved with the Lord of Heaven?

Just as the Lord of Heaven had left, a slave from an aristocrat came . The same people who had come before had come again . When they saw Lu Shu, they smiled and said, “Congratulations on obtaining Nangeng City . My master has prepared a gift for you . We hope that we will be able to work together in the future and forget about our past conflicts . ”

Lu Shu glanced at them . The 12 aristocrats had actually presented a million notes as a gift!

Earlier, Lu Shu had asked Liu Yizhao and Li Heitan to handle the slaves . Zhang Weiyu was worried that Lu Shu would destroy the relationship between the Wei Wu Army and the aristocrats once again . After all, it was better to have more friends than enemies .

But before he could advise Lu Shu, he saw Lu Shu shake the slaves’ hands sincerely . “Go back and tell your masters that from now on, we are brothers! Brothers!”
