Chapter 320 Death Jedi

Lou Tinghai, nicknamed Snow Mountain Sword Saint, is very famous in the Northern Wei Kingdom and has a very respected status, which is equivalent to the status of Qi Yang Shangren in the Da Wu Dynasty.

The reason why Lu Yu guessed that he was one of the collaborators of Qin Yanzhen's treasure-stealing plan was not only because of the special timing of his visit, but also because the news of his visit immediately caused a sensation in the entire Da Wu Dynasty, even overshadowing the two newlyweds who were about to get married.

The reason is very simple. As a symbolic figure of the Northern Wei Kingdom, Lou Tinghai can be said to be a mountain weighing on the hearts of the people of the Da Wu Dynasty. For his sudden visit, people have made a unified judgment, that is, he came here to spy on the reality of the Da Wu Dynasty.

If the news of Qin Yanzhen's wedding is true, and the Wu Dynasty's border army has indeed changed its commander, then the Northern Wei army on the border will plot ill and wait for an opportunity to move; if the news of Qin Yanzhen's wedding is false, and it is just a smokescreen to confuse the Northern Wei Dynasty, then Lou Tinghai will take the initiative to provoke trouble and cause chaos.

This is the judgment made by the people of Dawu Dynasty about Lou Tinghai's visit.

In such a situation, people wanted to kill him as soon as possible, but as the saying goes, when two countries are at war, they don't kill the envoys. Besides, it is not an easy thing to kill Lou Tinghai, so people started to make a fuss, hoping that the national teacher Qi Yang Shangren would challenge Lou Tinghai, and the two sides would have a one-on-one duel to see whether the Snow Mountain Sword Saint of the Northern Wei Dynasty is stronger or the national teacher of the Dawu Dynasty is stronger. In this way, even if Lou Tinghai died in the Dawu Dynasty, the Northern Wei Dynasty would have nothing to say.

If this battle succeeds, it will be a battle of national destiny.

The discussion about this battle was extremely heated throughout the capital, which attracted everyone's attention. It can be said that it was a natural cover to cover up many hidden torrents. Because of this, Lu Yu was sure that Lou Tinghai was also a part of Qin Yanzhen's plan.

Qin Yanzhen has been in charge of the border army for seven years, but she is unexpectedly connected with the enemy country's Snow Mountain Sword Saint. Thinking about this carefully, Lu Yu can't help but feel terrified.

It is obvious that Qin Yanzhen has been planning this for a long time. Even if there is no opportunity for him to marry her, I am afraid that she will soon create other opportunities to attack the Yuan royal family. Therefore, Lu Yu is more and more certain that Qianwu City is in a precarious situation at this time, like a building about to collapse.

At this sensitive moment, Lu Yu has one last thing to do, so he summoned Zhou Peiling...

"You and Lou Qianqian should prepare to receive the goods tonight."

As soon as the two met, Lu Yu ordered Zhou Peiling.

"Tonight?"

Zhou Peiling was stunned.

"Have you recovered from your injury? Now that Lou Tinghai is coming to Qianwu City, the palace is heavily guarded. Are you sure you can steal the treasure from the palace?"

Lu Yu said: "You don't need to worry about how I steal the treasure. You just need to receive the goods with peace of mind, and then help me escort the goods to Lujiang County safely..."

"What?"

Zhou Peiling's eyes widened.

"Didn't you say before that we can just send it out of the capital? Why do you want us to escort it to Lujiang County now? Do you still keep your word?"

Lu Yu spread his hands and said, "This is a different time. You can see that Qianwu City is now in turmoil and people from all sides are gathering. Just leaving the city cannot guarantee the safety of the goods. I must send it to Lujiang County to feel at ease, because that is my base camp... Don't you want me to leave here?"

Zhou Peiling was resentful in her heart, but she had no choice but to grit her teeth and agree: "Okay, Lujiang is Lujiang! After this is done, you get out of the capital as soon as possible and don't bother Zhenzhen anymore! I hope you can keep your word and do what you say!"

Lu Yu smiled and said, "Don't worry! As long as I make sure my goods are safe, I will withdraw from the capital soon!"

Zhou Peiling snorted and turned around to leave.

"Wait a minute..."

Lu Yu suddenly stopped her.

"I hope you can keep this a secret and don't tell Qin Yanzhen. I don't want to be entangled by her in the future!"

Zhou Peiling turned around and looked at Lu Yu deeply. She didn't answer, but just snorted proudly, then turned around and left without looking back.

Lu Yu looked at her graceful back and thought silently in his heart that this was all he could do to help them...

In fact, the so-called escort of goods out of the capital was just a cover, and the purpose was just to let her and Lou Qianqian move.

Because once Qin Yanzhen's plan is implemented, it is very likely to attract the Yuan family's real ancestors to take action, and then it may evolve into a war between real people, and the entire capital area will become a barren land, like a purgatory on earth, and all living things will be destroyed...

After this contact, Lu Yu felt that Zhou Peiling and Lou Qianqian were two talents that could be cultivated, and both Yudie Peak and Wanhe Chamber of Commerce were in urgent need of manpower, so it was a good choice to absorb them into his own power system, at least it was better than watching them die in this desperate place in front of them.

The so-called "goods" were naturally fictitious, and then Lao Zhang of Wanhe Chamber of Commerce would make some things for them to "escort" away.

And leaving with them was Lao Zhang of Wanhe Chamber of Commerce. At that time, Lao Zhang would break up all the manpower deployed by Wanhe Chamber of Commerce in the capital and evacuate them together.

However, Zhou Peiling and Lou Qianqian were two very eye-catching figures after all. As for whether they could successfully escape from this deadly place at the last moment, it would depend on their own luck...

After a few days, the wedding date between Lu Yu and Qin Yanzhen was approaching.

Lu Yu was like a puppet, letting everyone manipulate him and making final preparations for the wedding.

However, on the day before the wedding, Snow Mountain Sword Saint Lou Tinghai suddenly went to the palace to meet the emperor and made a request to Emperor Jialing in front of all the officials, hoping to have a fierce battle with Master Qi Yang on the day of the wedding of Duke Gao, as an end to the long-standing feud between the two countries.

As soon as this was said, the whole country of Dawu Dynasty was furious.

Rather than a request, it was a naked provocation.

The civil and military officials of the Dawu Dynasty were all indignant and requested to fight. Emperor Jialing could not suppress the matter even if he wanted to, so he had to agree.

So in a solemn atmosphere, this highly anticipated wedding finally came as scheduled.
