Spare Me, Great Lord!

Lu Shu looked at the Wei Wu Army behind him. They had changed into their Black Feather Army armor. All of them stood stood in formation, except for Li Heitan, who was still doing his homework.

Just now, Li Heitan had used Lu Xiaoyu’s name to disapprove of Lu Shu’s plans. Then, as a reward for his honesty, Lu Shu presented him a small hall for cultural classes.

Li Heitan asked why Lu Shu had done so. Lu Shu said that knowledge could change one’s fate. He was taking Li Heitan into consideration.

Li Heitan felt that there was nothing wrong with the first part of the Great Lord’s words. Knowledge had indeed changed their fate as carefree people…

This time, Lu Shu had obtained information from Lu Xiaoyu. This afternoon, 1000 Black Feather Army soldiers would pass by the mountains. They would head in the northwest direction and patrol the mountain range there. There would be a Rank Two commander leading the troop. To the Wei Wu Army, it was extremely easy for the Wei Wu Army to eliminate them.

The Black Feather Army had realized that it was not realistic for them to rely on the scouts to find the Wei Wu Army. They had to deploy people to go on patrols.

If not, the number of scouts would decrease. Their scouts might be eliminated even before they found the Wei Wu Army…

A team of 1000 soldiers was not much to the Black Feather Army. Other troops were still present in the vicinity. This was to prevent an ambush by the Wei Wu Army. If the Wei Wu Army appeared, the Black Feather Army would be able to rapidly work together and buy for time.

Lu Shu decided to be on the safe side this time. First, they would eliminate one of their troops. If they were discovered, they would run away. If they were not discovered, they would pretend to be part of this troop and return to the Black Feather Army. Slowly, they would replace 5000 of their soldiers with soldiers from the Black Feather Army!

It was better to be safe. After all, Lu Xiaoyu could only obtain memory fragments. Thus, Lu Shu had to deal with the gaps in these memories with caution.

On the other hand, Lu Shu realized that Lu Xiaoyu’s ability complemented that of his.

For example, back on Sardinia, he was frustrated about the fact that he would not be able to obtain aid from the Heavenly Network. He would not be able to go with the flow, like he did in the Collection of Gods. If you impersonated as someone else, you at least had to know who they were, right?

But with Lu Xiaoyu’s ability, they would be able to obtain large amounts of information from their memory fragments. This information was what Lu Shu wanted.

Lu Shu led the entire Wei Wu Army and secretly set off. Although only 1000 people were to blend in with the Black Feather Army this time, they still needed the entire army to eliminate them.

They hid in the forest in the mountains. When the Black Feather Army arrived as planned, Lu Shu started to think about how they would be able to eliminate them without a trace.

But before he could think through it, the dirt underneath the feet of the Black Feather Army started to surge like a wave. In the blink of an eye, the Black Feather Army soldiers were buried underground even before they could react.

They screamed for help at the top of their voices, but their voices had been buried underground along with them…

Li Heitan was shocked. “Great Lord Xiaoyu is amazing. Are you sure that you are only a Rank One?”

Lu Shu looked at Li Heitan. “I can do that too!”

Lu Xiaoyu rose from the ground in front of Lu Shu. “The commander’s name is Tang Mingyang. He is dedicated to patrolling. He lives in Hesheng Lane in the West Capital. He has 14 concubines at home and loves to gamble. He is a Rank Two and uses a long sword. Furthermore…”

After reading out all this information, Lu Xiaoyu passed a long sword to Lu Shu. “This is his long sword.”

Lu Shu could not help but sigh with emotion. There were times when Lu Xiaoyu finished tasks very cleanly. Lu Shu said with confidence. “I will show you how I will perfectly carry out this plan. I will make you surprised.”

The weapons that Li Heitan and the rest held had been prepared in advance.

Lu Shu led 1000 soldiers, who were already disguised, to follow the Black Feather Army’s original route and carry out the patrol. He assumed the role of the Black Feather Army commander.

He had put on his mask. Lu Shu had thought about this for a long time. There should not be any problems.

In the afternoon, Lu Shu even brought his troop to converge with another Black Feather Army troop. Lu Shu resisted the urge to eliminate them. He even praised himself for being able to resist doing so.

Their commander did not discover anything strange about Lu Shu. Just like that, the two troops passed by each other. No one realized that Lu Shu was not the original Tang Mingyang.

Lu Shu turned back and looked at Li Heitan. His gaze conveyed a message. “What did you say this morning?”

Li Heitan remained silent. He felt that he should conceal his wisdom. If the Great Lord discovered his potential, his knowledge might actually change his fate.

After being punished in the morning, Li Heitan cried and complained to Great Lord Xiaoyu. She had said something that remained in Li Heitan’s head till this day. “In life, you often have to hide your inadequacy by keeping quiet.”

Li Heitan could not understand. “How?”

“For example, you might know some things, but under certain circumstances, you must say that you don’t know.” Lu Xiaoyu felt that she had been too complex and Li Heitan did not understand what she had said. Thus, she simplified what she had said.

When Lu Shu saw Li Heitan keeping quiet, he could not quite understand. He casually walked beside him and asked, “Do you know how amazing your Great Lord is now?”

Li Heitan thought about it and said, “I don’t know…”

“… is your head that rigid?”

“From Lu Shu’s distress, +666!”

Lu Shu did not bother to explain this to Li Heitan. Time would prove everything!

In the evening, Lu Shu brought the Wei Wu Army back to the Black Feather Army military camp. Everything today had been perfect. Lu Shu hoped that there would be a perfect ending as well.

When night fell, Lu Shu brought his troop back to the entrance of the military camp. He realized that the leader in charge of the 5000 people was standing at the entrance. Lu Shu walked up to him and saluted. “Tang Mingyang has returned to deliver a report.”

The leader observed Lu Shu. Lu Shu observed his expression as well. He had not realized anything wrong with Lu Shu!

Yes. His identity had not been exposed!

Heh heh. Lu Xiaoyu, what else did you have to say?

What was that poem? Those who are cold, thank you for looking down on me, forcing me to lift my head and lead a more exciting life…

Suddenly, the commander asked, “Have you found the Wei Wu Army?”

Lu Shu reported. “No.”

“And you still have the face to return? All you do is take your salary, but you can’t even do your job? It looks like I don’t need a commander like you.” The commander laughed coldly. “Kill yourself.”

Lu Shu was dumbfounded.

Li Heitan, who was behind him, almost laughed out loud. Lu Shu suddenly looked at the stars in the distance. He was melancholic. Was he being targeted by someone?

Why?

Huh?

Would he ever be able to carry out his plans? Did the Black Feather Army even treat their people as humans?

“Kill them,” said Lu Shu with a sigh.
