949, Nothing to Do (Second Update)
"You may have forgotten how to fight as a noble lord. The baggage can be robbed by bandits. You are really going backwards," Wen Zaifu said calmly. At this time, the nobles all looked at Lu Shu beside Wen Zaifu...
"Negative emotion value from Peng Haoming, +666..."
"From..."
Lu Shu silently remembered the appearance and names of these people. These are the twelve most powerful nobles in the southern part of Nanzhou. Maybe they can cooperate in the future, right?
Wen Zaifu suddenly said: "Why are you looking at him? He is the leader of the Wuwei Army, not a bandit."
The nobles were stunned for a moment. They didn't believe that the Emperor of Heaven would not know the details. So the Emperor of Heaven said this to directly protect the Wuwei Army. From then on, the Wuwei Army was the Wuwei Army. The bandits with the number of poverty alleviation and wealth creation had nothing to do with them!
"Yes, yes, the Emperor of Heaven is right," a group of nobles hurriedly said.
"The twelve nobles in the southern part of Nanzhou are all here. It just so happens that you lost the city. Then take ten more cities from the Black Feather Army and give them to me," Wen Zaifu said, "If you can't get them, you don't have to come back."
The nobles didn't expect that the punishment this time would be so severe. They had to fight all the way to Xizhou. Even if these twelve nobles had big families and big businesses, they couldn't withstand such a huge war consumption.
If they lose, there might be a bigger punishment. Even if they win, they will lose a layer of skin together!
However, they were stunned for a moment and then replied with a stiff face: "I will obey the order of the Emperor of Heaven!"
Who dared to say no at this time? It was clear that the Emperor of Heaven was going to give them a warning.
What the Emperor of Heaven hates most is that his subordinates like to play small tricks, and they are devoted to cultivation and rarely ask about political affairs. This matter has advantages and disadvantages. Once there is merit, there will be a heavy reward, and everyone doesn't have to serve in fear every day.
Twelve nobles came and left in a hurry. When they left, someone complained in the air: "It was all because of your greed to occupy these five passes that the five of us were involved!"
In fact, there were only seven nobles involved in this matter before.
"It seems that the Wuwei Army has been favored by the Emperor of Heaven. Don't provoke them! The punishment of the Emperor of Heaven is so severe this time. Maybe he wants to promote the Wuwei Army to the top!"
Some people retorted: "How could we have thought that the Emperor of Heaven would come to the Wuwei Army as soon as he came out of the pass? And when did we provoke the Wuwei Army? They started it first!"
Some nobles felt extremely aggrieved. It was obviously their noble army that had been hungry for half a month. Who provoked whom? !
So, just when the Black Feather Army retreated to Xizhou, Li Liang was just about to take a breath and return to Xidu to take off his armor and resign. As a result, before he could catch his breath, the noble army on the side of Nanzhou had already killed him.
Li Liang was not feeling well. Is it so difficult for him to leave?
On Mount Luwang, Wen Zaifu waited for the nobles to leave and asked curiously, "You said you don't want the city they are so eager for?"
"Really," Lu Shu said seriously, "Can you let them guard the city, and I will collect taxes..."
At this moment, Zhang Weiyu suddenly whispered to Lu Shu, and Lu Shu said, "We want Yun'an City."
"Okay," Wen Zaifu nodded, "Then I will give you Nangeng City."
"Not you wait a minute, I'm talking about Yun'an City!" Lu Shu was shocked, are you fucking hard of hearing?
As a result, Wen Zaifu didn't care about Lu Shu at all, turned around and stepped out, as if there was an endless void behind him, and the whole person disappeared out of thin air.
Lu Shu was stunned for a long time, what kind of routine is this, is it a unique method of the Shenzang Realm?
Then Lu Shu smiled and said, "This method is quite effective, is he always like this?"
Three days ago, they discussed that if the Emperor of Heaven rewards according to merit, they will take Nangeng City, but they must not directly say what they want... Because if they ask directly, Wen Zaifu will not give it.
Lu Shu was wondering at first, is this to prevent someone from planning something, but Zhang Weiyu said no, Wen Zaifu just likes to tease people and see people's surprise.
"By the way, this Heavenly Emperor used to be your teacher?" Lu Shu asked curiously, "Then the old God King should trust him very much, why did he become the Heavenly Emperor?"
"Because the old God King is too annoying..." Zhang Weiyu said calmly, "I don't want to see him, so I let him stay away..."
Lu Shu was stunned, there is such a thing?
Zhang Weiyu said solemnly, "In the past, the place where we hid in Tiangeng Town has never been discovered by the Black Feather Army, but this time it's different. The Black Feather Army seems to be heading for our hiding place. I strongly suspect that he deliberately revealed our location and forced us to show up."
"He wants to kill you?" Lu Shu asked doubtfully. Combining Wen Zaifu's previous performance and what Zhang Weiyu said, Zhang Weiyu's speculation is not impossible.
"He thinks we are suffering too much and doesn't want us to stay in Tiangeng Town," Zhang Weiyu sighed and said, "I even suspect that his claim of seclusion is fake. It is very likely that he has been paying attention to this war. Otherwise, why would he know everything about the outside world?"
Lu Shu thought about it. If this is true, then the actions of the nobles are probably seen by this Heavenly Emperor. Maybe Wen Zaifu is just bored and wants to clean them up.
I have lived too long, and I always have some weird and evil hobbies when I am idle. Otherwise, how can I pass the time...
But Lu Shu still felt something was wrong, because Liu Yizhao's misunderstanding of his identity had always made him worry that Wen Zaifei would think the same way, and no one knew whether Wen Zaifei was an enemy or a friend.
But just now, Zhang Weiyu explained it briefly, and the other party just went along with the words, as if everything was too easy.
Lu Shu was a little melancholy. How could such a low-key person like him have something to do with the Emperor of Heaven?
As soon as the Emperor of Heaven left, the big slaves of the nobles came in the afternoon. They were the same people as before. After seeing Lu Shu, they smiled and said, "Congratulations to the commander for taking over Nangeng City. My master specially asked us to prepare gifts to congratulate. I hope everyone will help each other in the future and put aside past grudges."
Lu Shu glanced at the twelve nobles, and each family actually took out a million divine banknotes as a gift!
In view of the fact that Lu Shu had asked Liu Yizhao and Li Heitan to beat up the big slaves before, Zhang Weiyu was a little worried that Lu Shu would destroy the relationship between the Wuwei Army and the nobles again. After all, more friends in this world are always better than more enemies.
Before he could persuade Lu Shu, he saw Lu Shu holding the big slave's hand affectionately and saying, "Go back and tell your master that we are brothers from now on! Brothers!"
