Volu Dynastic Records</eraphy of the Duke of the Tranquil Sea</eht, Lin Bi stood before theof her guest rooed guard was reporting the intelligence that he had gathered

“When the turuests, and attendants and guards like us, were all tightly surrounded by the Marquis of the Eastern Sea’s subordinates, i methods are not ordinary The Yue faed by the Marquis’s navy We went to take a look … the sea was filled with bodies and the shattered fragments of the shi+p Without repair, that shi+p will never sail again”

Lin Bi sighed “This is, after all, the territory of the Marquis of the Eastern Sea Only if a massive army were to attackfor just over a hundred men to cause chaos, they are no yan had not eht extinct Heart Toxin Insect, it would have been i of this, We admire the one who planned this all out If they had been successful, they would not only have seized control of the Eastern Sea, and the Hai and Yue fa and Southern Chu to suffer disastrous losses As for us, although ould not have obtained any practical benefits, ould also not suffer any losses Those people probably even want us to take advantage and invade Great Yong … Who would have expected that at such an ideal wedding, not only increasing marital ties, but also the union of a perfect couple, the bride would be hiding the intent to murder without rhyme or reason? The behind-the-scenes plotter truly has extensive sche, the Marquis of the Eastern Sea and his son, and Lu Can all perished, the world would likely instantly fall into chaos And to think that they were able to find so to nurture the Heart Toxin Insect, especially soyan Reportedly, raising the Heart Toxin Insect, the require to the extre Zhe’s response In a short period of half a month, he employed all of the resources that he could mobilize He took drastic measures to contact Lu Can to remove the need for the death of the Yue family brother and sister With one cylinder of Divine Heavens-Soaring Fire, he ensures that he can nimbly respond to any situation Soit difficult to tell friend from foe However, that man has the ability to force all of us to follow and cooperate with the execution of his plan Sir Xiu, tell me, what can we do to extricate ourselves frouard hesitated hness, this time,Your Royal Highness eliminate the outsider However, with the present situation, the Eastern Sea has already been disturbed It will be very difficult for us to make our move We also saw that Li Shun That reat We do not have the ability to fight him Aside from my esteemed master, there is likely no one who can be sure of victory Moreover, even if ere barely able to execute an assassination atte Zhe hirievance with hies his life to retaliate, our losses will likely not ains”

“I understand this principle as well,” said Lin Bi with a sigh “However, if the man were to return to service, he would becofei will fall into the hness, do not worry,” proudly stated the ic ability is unardless of what nore theht and blunt hand-to-hand co has its own proble, Li Kang, has quite a deep hatred of Li Xian Indications of their dishar, itto inflict wounds upon itself”

Lin Bi sighed again Just as she was about to speak onceover from outside “Little sister, why have you come?”

Lin Bi’s heart leapt, and she bent her ears to listen Fro and tender voice could be heard to answer, “Roulan is here onand the Criuest at the Tranquil Sea Manor”

The sound of Lin Tong’s hesitating voice could be heard to ask, “Little sister, who is your father?”

Proud of herself, the little girl answered, “My daddy’s surnaiven name is Zhe”

Lin Bi was not shocked by this revelation, only feeling carefree internally She had long suspected this little girl’s identity Unfortunately, Northern Han’s intelligence on Jiang Zhe was li Zhe’s personalthis, she opened her door With a s your esteemed father’s invitation, Lin Bi is deeply honored We will definitely attend”

Roulan happily replied, “That’s great!”

Lin Bi looked carefully, seeing that Roulan still had several invitations in her hands She smiled and asked, “Does little sister still need to deliver invitations?”

“That’s right,” answered Roulan “There’re still invitations I need to deliver for Grand General Lu and His I”

Lin Tong inquired with curiosity, “Roulan, you’re so young Why aren’t you having so her head, Roulan responded, “This is a ned to Lanlan It is only natural that Lanlan can’t let anyone else finish it”

Gazing at little Roulan’s naïve, childish nature and seriousness, Lin Bi could not help but laugh She thought, Zhe, capable of raising such an adorable daughter</ehed down by anxiety<sup>1</sup> Fu Yulun had already been placed under house arrest It would take only the slightest of efforts<sup>2</sup> to have hi that this ’s son-in-law, Lu Can wavered inthe decision

Just before he was about to depart, Lu Can had received a letter fro Zhe There were only a feords on the letter,to seize the Eastern Sea, taking this opportunity to set up Lu Can The letter further had Lu Can seek out where the Yue fa several potential locations As expected, Lu Can’s subordinates found the Yue fauard encaer a naïve child He wouldn’t follow Jiang Zhe’s instructions and da it over, he felt that, although Shang Weijun wanted to conspire to murder him as he arned beforehand, it would be easy for him to preserve his own life In addition, if the plan were successful, then the benefits to Southern Chu would even arouse Lu Can’s interest

However, after some consideration, Lu Can discovered that he could only play the role of Jiang Zhe’s pawn Since Jiang Zhe had already received intelligence, he would definitely set a trap When the ti the Eastern Sea Instead of the spoils of success, the likely losses would be disastrous Moreover, relying upon the rely arrogant and rayi Sect had already becoets of scorn, they were still a foryi Sect was a double-edged sword Properly e But if used improperly, it would likely result in internal strife within Southern Chu Even if they had been lucky enough to succeed, it would likely be detrimental and not of benefit to Southern Chu As a result, Lu Can still adhered to Jiang Zhe’s proposal and rescued the Yue fah they were held under house arrest by the royal guard, based upon the Lu family’s authority and influence in the Southern Chu military, they were still rescued by Lu Can Moreover, Lu Can was able to prevent the infored to have the current decision e his favor As a result, it would be unlikely for the Yue fa Further the Yue family face, the Eastern Sea would not be overly hostile towards Southern Chu Even though, when it came to it, the Yue family was unreliable However, it was unlikely that they would pledge allegiance to Great Yong and act up behind Southern Chu

To speak of it, Southern Chu did not lose out However, Lu Can was still glooly bold and i and Southern Chu went to ould he be able to deal with it? After thinking for some ti the discord ploy I wonder if it’s possible to sow discord between you and the Great Yong court?”

Rising to his feet, Lu Can walked to the guest roouards standing at the door This here Fu Yulun was being held under house arrest When Lu Can entered the room, he saw Fu Yulun seated in a chair with his co Lu Can arrive, Fu Yulun proed, “Grand General, this lowly official was acting on my father-in-law’s orders Grand General, please spare my life!”

With a tranquil and calm expression on his face, Lu Can replied, “Get up … I know that you aren’t the onethe decisions However, since matters have reached this point, tell me, how should I punish you?”

In alarm, Fu Yulun answered, “I only ask that the Grand General can spare my life With my life spared, this lowly official will obey all of your orders”

“I want you to go back and tell Prihtly, “That I, Lu Can, have no intentions of getting into a power struggle with hie of yi Sect are hidden by Pri’s side I don’t care about Pri’s yi Sect has always been rebellious They can be used, but theyuses them to eradicate dissent, Southern Chu will likely one day be theirs”

Fu Yulun was overjoyed, realizing that his life was finally preserved He pro to lobby Shang Weijun Lu Can , If I were to kill this man, it is likely that the only path left to h it was possible that this man would try to retaliate in the future, I cannot create irreconcilable differences with Shang Weijun right now</e out of Fu Yulun’s roouards, “Take care of Fu daren properly Do not allow hi to Southern Chu, Lu Can did not want anyone to influence Fu Yulun, causing hie his promise to help alleviate the proble Weijun

Just as he had taken a few steps, he caught sight of a little girl bouncing vivaciously as she walked into the courtyard In her raised hands was a large red invitation Behind her were two guards of the Marquis’s household Seeing Lu Can, the little girl smiled and cried out, “Senior apprentice brother Lu! Lanlan has coazed at this youth with curiosity She had learned fro man was her daddy’s first disciple As a result, she had taken advantage of delivering the invitation to come see this eldest apprentice brother of hers

Lu Can had long known that this little girl was his h he did not when his hter, it did not prevent Lu Can froirl Gently, he walked forward, reaching out and picking Roulan up He looked carefully This little girl was alert, graceful, clever, and beautiful Although still young, her countenance already had a measure of his master’s depth

With curiosity, Roulan asked, “Senior apprentice brother Lu, are you also a general who has led troops into battle?”

Revealing a sincere sht I’ve led troops before”

Pulling a face, Roulan declared, “I had always thought that generals would be like little brother Lin’s father, awe-inspiring and majestic However, Princess Bi is beautiful, while senior apprentice brother Lu seeenerals do not have a specific anized his e a look, he stated, “Junior apprentice sister, please inforo and offer ive me”
