Chapter 517: Examine Body! (1/2)
Wind City. The City Lord's residence.
In the great hall, Lu Wuyong had gathered his generals to discuss important matters.
“The City Lord of Sky Sea City Mo Long thought he could perform great service with his 30,000 troops and eat the Ghost Dancer Army up alone, he really is stupid——” ”
“If the Ghost Dancer Corps is so easy to be swallowed up, how would they have the great prestige they have today?”
“Do you need to boost other people's morale and reduce our own courage? Our Lu family's Wolf army is also a strong army that is comparable to the Ghost Dancer Corps——”
As soon as this remark came out, the whole room went silent.
The whole Divine Continent knew that what really makes the Wolf Army famous was Lu Xingkong and his side of the Lu family. Back then it was old general Lu Zhengrong who let go of the Gongshu family. He was the ancestor of Lu Xingkong, and had a distant relations.h.i.+p with Lu Wuyong and his people.
It was precisely because of his kindness that he received the unconditional and endless support from the Gongshu family, and which contributed to the Lu family establis.h.i.+ng the Wolf Army. With the remarkably military equipment provided by the Gongshu family, as well as undergoing cruel and harsh training, the Wolf Army gradually developed into a strong force along with the outstanding clansmen of the Lu family that shook the nine Kingdoms.
But what does this have to do with Lu Wuyong?
They had just betrayed Lu Xingkong, had just plunged at knife at his back, yet someone took the name of the Wolf Army to support themselves——How could there be such a stupid person in this world?
Seeing that n.o.body spoke, and everyone were just looking at him with a strange expression, Mao Yuanshan sneered again: “What? Am I wrong? Old General is killed, and now even the name of the Wolf army cannot be mentioned?”
“What is your viewpoint?” Lu Wuyong asked, looking at him calmly.
“I'm just trying to get justice for Old general.”
“What if I don't give you justice?”
“Then I'm going to say something for Old General. I don't understand why Old General ended up like that when he treated us very well.”
Che——
Before Mao Yuanshan finished his sentence, half a sword was seen skewering through the heart position of his chest.
The blood on the blade dripped down onto the floor of the Meeting Hall.
“You——” Mao Yuanshan's eyes widened, staring at Lu Wuyong in disbelief.
“You can't say anything.”
“Lu Wuyong——” Because of the heart injury, Mao Yuanshan's mouth overflowed with large amounts of blood. He opened his eyes wide and roared, “You're going to die tragically——”
Thud——
His body fell forward, and then he lay on the ground without making any more sounds.
The whole room fell silent again.
Lu Wuyong's piercing sword-like gaze scanned the crowd: “Did I do something wrong?”
No one answered.
Mao Yuanshan's body was lying in front, who dared to defy the will of Lu Wuyong?
“I did do something wrong.” Lu Wuyong answered his own question, smiling warmly and casually: “Yuanshan did not say anything wrong. Old General treated us well, and the reason the Lu family has the glory it has today is because of Old General's hard work. Without Old General, none of us would be here. Especially, I, Lu Wuyong. It can be said that I was brought up by Old General. Without him there wouldn't be me.”
“But there are some things I have to do. Old General is stubborn, and wants be a loyal and honest official. Even at the risk of his life. But, gentlemen, Old General is not afraid of death, but we want to live. The Song's family holds tremendous power, this is someone even a three-year-old child can see. But Old General had to go against them——isn't that just a way to death?”
“I am not willing to risk the life of my family. I think there should be a lot of people who share the same thoughts as I do. I will not say those words like loyalty to the country and so on. We are all brothers who had fought back to back on the battlefield, how would we not understand each other? I want to live, and you want to live. So, I, Lu Wuyong, stood up and took you to fight a great battle.”
“If I hadn't made such a choice in time, what would have happened to Wind City? What would have happened to the generals here? The great Lu mansion in Tiandu has been burned to ashes like that. Old General who possesses such high cultivation base has been killed like that——Everyone, in order to live, in order to keep you alive, I, Lu Wuyong is already said to be someone who betrays one's master for the sake of glory. So it is now your turn to do something to prove your sincerity. Not for me, but for yourself, for your elders and the little ones in your family.”
“We will follow the lead of General.”
“We will fight if General tells us to, we will kill if General tells us to.”
“General, Xiong Feihu is willing to bear the bad name along with you——”
It had to be said that since Lu Wuyong was valued by Lu Xingkong and able to become the lord of this Wind City, he indeed had a few tricks up his sleeve.
He first killed Mao Yuanshan who dares to question him in public in a thunderous way, and then frankly told the crowd that he is wrong, and that he did all these things to live and also for them to live.
It was not for what loyalty, or for the country, it was all for their own sake.
He had to bear the name of betrayer, what will you repay his kindness with?
There was not a word of nonsense, or a polite phrase.
It was clear and concise. It was indeed convincing.
Lu Wuyong waved his hand, saying: “I don't need you to die, I don't want to kill, we have done so many things, but in the end do we not just want to live? So, whoever doesn't want me to live, I'll let them die. The rebellious people of the Lu family were killed by me. Mao Yuanshan was also killed by me. In order to live, I am willing to kill anyone.”
The crowd was silent.
“So, the Ghost Dancer Corps is coming, and I'm going to kill them. Not only do I want to kill, but I also want to ask all the people present to accompany me to kill. It is only when they're dead that we can stay alive, and our parents and children will remain alive. Generals, isn't this right?”
“General, just tell us what to do. We're all a bunch of rough people, wherever you point to, we'll kill them there.”
