Chapter 1636: The Situation Changes Dramatically
For a time, Lu Yu had many questions in his mind.
Didn't it say that Duke Heng's troops were coming? Why did Grand Duke Nanlu's sixth son suddenly appear here?
Now that the envoys of Grand Duke Nanlu have appeared, where are the envoys of the other Grand Dukes? Why was he the only one showing up?
It was clear that a war was imminent, why did Nan Lucai not look nervous at all? Seemingly confident?
The atmosphere at the scene was so weird that Lu Yu guessed that something unknown had happened somewhere...
"Hello."
Since he was not sure what the situation was at the moment, Lu Yu just responded in a nonchalant manner.
Nan Lucai looked at Lu Yu deeply, then turned his gaze back to Fu Jing and said, "City Master Fu, I hope you can seriously consider the suggestion I just made..."
"Now the intelligence has been verified. What appeared at the border of Xihai City this time was the Shenhui Army led by Dingjunhou, the second son of Duke Heng Yue, and not the Shenfeng Army as previously estimated..."
"According to the information I got, it is said that because you refused the proposal of marriage, Dingjunhou was very angry after learning the news, so he ignored the order of Duke Heng Yue, abandoned the eastern battlefield where the battle was still taking place, and marched directly south. …”
"The Shenhui Army went south in advance, and the Shenfeng Army also did not take any time off. They still attacked along the west road according to the established plan, so this time Duke Heng actually sent two troops at the same time to attack from the east and west sides. Come on, the situation in Xihai City is already very dangerous..."
"It seems that the only one who can help Xihai City at this time is our Nanlu Principality..."
"But City Master Fu, you should also know that this is a very difficult thing to do. At the same time, fighting against the two elite troops of Shenfeng and Shenhui, even our Nanlu Principality will have to pay a very heavy price. We must have Just a good reason..."
After speaking, Nan Lucai looked at Fu Jing quietly.
Fu Jing said: "So, what the Sixth Young Master means is that I can hand over the miraculous sword to your Nanlu Principality as a condition for you to send troops to rescue?"
Nan Lucai smiled and said: "Don't get me wrong, City Master Fu, we don't want the miraculous sword in your hand, we just want to verify the news you mentioned before!"
"Once the news is verified, we will have sufficient reasons to send troops. The sword will still be returned to its original owner. Besides, isn't it said that you are the one chosen by the Miracle Sword? If this is true, this We can't take the sword away even if we want to!"
After hearing this, Lu Yu finally understood what was going on.
It turns out that the sixth son of Grand Duke Nanlu wanted to take advantage of the situation by raising the price.
However, Lu Yu felt that things might not be as simple as they seemed on the surface. This Nan Lucai was really too confident, and he showed his determination to conquer Xihai City... Where did he get his confidence from?
"Sorry, Sixth Young Master, I cannot agree to your request. This is inconsistent with our previous agreement." Fu Jing said.
Nan Lucai said again: "At this moment, at that moment, plans often fail to keep up with changes! We had an agreement before that several companies would unite to fight against the Grand Duke, but you have also seen the current situation. If you can catch up with the changes, We, the Nanlu family, are the only ones here, and the other families are beyond our reach..."
"Under such circumstances, our Nanlu Principality will have to pay a heavier price, so it is reasonable and reasonable for us to need an accurate message!"
"We just want to confirm the authenticity of the news. We have no intention of taking the Miracle Sword as our own. I can guarantee you this."
Nan Lucai showed a sincere expression.
Fu Jing looked troubled and couldn't help but look at Lu Yu.
In the final analysis, this matter was caused by Lu Yu. It was he and the representatives of the Grand Dukes who revealed that there were clues to the unparalleled treasure house hidden in the Excalibur... But in fact, where was the unparalleled treasure house? At least as the holder of the Divine Sword, she still has no clue about this so far.
Nan Lucai saw Fu Jing's reaction and said: "This matter is also a very important decision for Xihai City. I can understand it. I think you may need some time to discuss it, so I will leave temporarily. Bar!"
"I will wait for an hour in the dark forest five miles away. After an hour, no matter what the final result is, I will leave here! I hope you will seize the time and give a clear answer as soon as possible... Otherwise, even if we Nanlu The principality wants to send troops for rescue, but time won’t allow it!”
After speaking, Nan Lucai held his hands in front of everyone, showing an excellent demeanor.
However, just when he was about to turn around and leave, Lu Yu suddenly spoke: "Wait a moment."
Suddenly, everyone's eyes were focused on him.
Lu Yu walked forward slowly, looked at Fu Jing and said with a smile: "Actually, there is nothing to discuss. Since the Sixth Young Master is so curious about the Divine Sword and wants to see it with his own eyes, let him see it with his own eyes! "
Fu Jing couldn't help but look puzzled, and others were also puzzled.
Lu Yu turned to look at Nan Lucai again, his voice suddenly turned cold: "It's just that after seeing it, don't even think about leaving!"
Nan Lucai was startled: "Sir, what does this mean?"
"What do you mean?" Lu Yu smiled coldly, "I should be the one to ask you this. What do you, Grand Duke Nanlu, mean?"
"The Shenfeng Army and the Shenhui Army were originally in the east and west respectively. According to common sense, the Shenfeng Army should have marched south, but now the Shenhui Army has moved before the Shenfeng Army, which means they got the news earlier. I don't believe that no one has secretly communicated with Dingjun Hou, who leads the Shenhui Army!"
"Besides, the Shenhui Army's road to the south is not easy. Unless someone lets the Shenhui Army pass through their own territory, it is possible to reach Xihai City in such a short time... Sixth Master, can you explain which road the Shenhui Jun took?"
After hearing Lu Yu's words, everyone reacted immediately.
The elders were all furious: "Great! So you have already colluded with Duke Hengyue! You still have the nerve to come here and pretend!"
"You are treacherous!"
"Did Duke Nan Lu lose his dignity? Are you willing to be a lackey of Duke Hengyue?"
Fu Jing also drew his sword and shouted coldly: "Sixth Master, aren't you very interested in the Sword of Miracles? Then come and see it with your own eyes!"
Nan Lucai turned around. Even though he was surrounded by people, he was still not panicked. He said calmly: "It seems that you are not going to give me a chance to explain, right?"
He stopped his eyes on Lu Yu and said slowly: "I heard them talk about your actions before, and I was deeply impressed by you. Although your cultivation is not very good, you are indeed a very difficult guy..."
"However, since you have guessed the truth of the matter , then you should understand your situation even more!"
"Duke Hengyue and Duke Nanlu have joined forces, and several other great workers have been excluded. Xihai City needs to face not only the Hengyue Divine Front Army and the Divine Emblem Army, but also tens of thousands of elite troops from our Nanlu Principality! Under such circumstances, you have no chance at all!"
"So, you have only one choice, that is to obediently hand over the Sword of Miracles and surrender the city. I will strive for lenient conditions for you within my rights and responsibilities to the maximum extent! This is all I can do. "
Finally, he turned his gaze back to Lu Yu again, and smiled proudly: "You are indeed a little clever, but your strength is too poor, and you lack a true understanding of the world of the strong... A real strong man cannot tolerate a reptile pointing fingers at him. The unpredictable changes in this world are far beyond your expectations. "
