“Xiaoyu, you’ve changed,” said Lu Shu expressionlessly.

“From Lu Shu’s distress, +666!”

He thought that Lu Xiaoyu would always support him. She had come here to protect him, but now, she was not willing to attack the commander of the Qing Sai Army…

She had changed. People will change!

Lu Xiaoyu was still laughing buoyantly. To be honest, this was very new to her. Lu Shu had come to this world and in a flash, he had become a pretty boy who was a favorite here. Even men glanced at him. There was nothing as interesting as this.

Liu Yizhao was still waiting for Lu Shu to reply him. Lu Shu thought about it and looked at Zhang Weiyu. “Regarding this, my uncle…”

He wanted to say that his uncle would decide. Zhang Weiyu was afraid of Lu Shu’s ability to push the blame. Thus, the moment Lu Shu said the word “uncle”, he started to hide behind and pretend he did not know Lu Shu.

But Lu Shu wanted to pull him into the water. This cheap trick from Zhang Weiyu was useless. But Lu Shu was worried about something else. Even if Zhang Weiyu agreed, it would be pointless. Zhang Weiyu did not want to lose anything. He might even be scammed…

Thus, Lu Shu changed the subject. “My uncle is from the fields. The Black Feather army is going to attack. My uncle and I were born in the fields. If we die, we want to die in the fields. How can we visit Nangeng City at a time like this? My uncle and I will stay at the fields and fight off the enemy!”

“From Zhang Weiyu’s distress, +666!”

Zhang Weiyu panicked. “I am an ordinary person. How can I fight the enemy?!”

Lu Shu said, “Uncle, have you forgotten? You said that you would fight the Black Feather Army to the death, even if you had to use your teeth.”

Lu Xiaoyu nodded her head. “I heard it as well.”

“From Zhang Weiyu’s distress, +666!”

Zhang Weiyu looked at Lu Xiaoyu in shocked. How did such a pretty young girl not blink an eyelid at Lu Shu’s lie?

“Fine. Then stay here and fight off the enemy. I won’t accompany you here. I have military affairs to attend to. I will take my leave.” Liu Yizhao smiled.

Lu Shu heaved a sigh of relief. He was finally gone. Lu Shu was more and more confused by this world.

At this moment, after the aristocrat from the fields discovered that Liu Yizhao and Lu Shu had talked, he became bright and cheerful. He was no longer as oppressive as before. Tsk tsk. If he could rope this young man in, he might have someone who could help him sway others through pillow talk at the palace…

This time, if the aristocrat, old man Li, could make Lu Shu talk for him, he only needed to say that the Black Feather Army had passed by. Then, the lie regarding military affairs would not be exposed.

All those who could survive in such chaos were not dumb. After Liu Yizhao brought his army away, he said to Lu Shu in a kind tone, “Young hero, are you willing to come to my guest house to rest? I will prepare a place for you to stay, as well as some food. The place you are living in now is far too dangerous. If the Black Feather Army comes again, you will be the first to be affected. The house is clean and not very big. It is rather private.”

Lu Shu glanced at him and agreed. From his words, Lu Shu knew that he had other motives. But now, he did not worry too much about them.

Tonight, he had just reunited with Lu Xiaoyu. They would confirm their future plans before making any other decisions. They even had a place to stay.

After all, with Xiaoyu’s strength, they would be able to decide whether they wanted to stay or leave.

At night, Lu Shu suddenly heard the sound of the door opening next door. He looked through the gap in the window and saw Zhang Weiyu crawling out of the door. His clothes were stuffed.

“This fellow didn’t eat anything at night. So he was collecting them to bring them out.” Lu Shu sighed and said to Lu Xiaoyu, “It’s not easy for this bunch of people. I don’t know what their motives are to stay near the fields and the town. Even when the tree branches have snapped, they still persevere. Earlier on, I met someone who did not want to become a slave, even if he had to commit suicide.”

Lu Xiaoyu looked at Lu Shu. “Do you want me to help him? He seems very weak to me.”

“Don’t.” Lu Shu shook his head. “If we can help him in secret, then we will help him. But if not, it’s fine. We simply met by chance. We can’t help him forever.”

“Okay.” Lu Xiaoyu nodded. “What do we do next?”

“Let’s find a way to go home,” said Lu Shu after some thought. He was slightly annoyed, as he had not found any clues about how to return to Earth.

Lu Shu was very sure that the old King of Gods had the ability to travel between the two worlds. If not, where did the poems come from?

If the old King of Gods had a way, then did the new King of Gods have one too?

Probably. But the problem was, he could not simply find the king and ask him to send them home. Why would he care about them?

Lu Shu thought about it and said, “I think that we have to go to the palace.”

Lu Xiaoyu suddenly thought about what the commander of the Black Feather Vanguard had said and immediately rejected the thought. “No, we can’t go to the palace.”

When the commander saw a picture of Lu Shu, he had said that Lu Shu would be very popular in the palace. Lu Xiaoyu felt that there were definitely love-struck fools in the palace…

Lu Shu was puzzled. “Why not?”

Lu Xiaoyu shook her head. “I can’t tell you, but we can’t go.”

“… then we have to think of somewhere else. Tomorrow, let’s ask Zhang Weiyu if he has any maps. I am completely lost. I don’t even know where we are.”

At the same time, Zhang Weiyu was hurriedly running north. He wanted to store the food in the cavern, so that when the others came, they would be able to eat.

After he was done, he hurried back. Earlier, he did not buy any grains. Now, he was being served by the town guard. Zhang Weiyu thought that if he could leave more food there, his friends would be able to live better lives as well.

Every time he thought about his old friends who had committed suicide, he felt an indescribable anguish.

Suddenly, Zhang Weiyu stopped and looked at the young man in front of him. He slowly straightened his bent body.

In front of him, Liu Yizhao was wearing a black robe. There was silence. Suddenly, he knelt down and cupped his first in his other hand. “Imperial Dragon Soldier Liu Yizhao has come to visit Imperial Palace Soldier Lord Zhang.”

Zhang Weiyu put on a fake smile. “It’s rare that people still remember me. But I have changed my name and come here. I still have to be generous to you.”

Liu Yizhao stood up. “Are the other Imperial Palace Soldiers here?”

“What’s wrong?” Zhang Weiyu laughed. “Do you want a high rank from us?”

“Lord Zhang, why do you say such things?” Liu Yizhao asked calmly.

“Of course, I’m not sure what happened 18 years ago. But I know that most of the Imperial Dragon Soldiers have died. Only a few like you are still full of vigor,” said Zhang Weiyu.
