Chapter 943: Lu Family from Liu Li Lane
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
The palace had never paid attention to an army with 5000 people. Those in the palace were aloof. The aristocrats had distanced themselves from the war a long time ago. Many geniuses flourished in the palace. This caused the palace to become a utopia, independent of the four regions.
But now, not only was their attention on the Wei Wu Army, they paid attention to their new commander, Lu Shu.
Lu was a common surname. There was also the Book of Family Names in this world, but the first line was different. The most common surnames were Lu, Qian, Sun, and Li…
As the name of Lu Shu and the Wei Wu Army spread, a few aristocrats with the surname Lu started to thoroughly investigate their family history. They wanted to see whether this young man was part of their family branch.
The rich and influential aristocrat families had been towering in the Luniverse for thousands of years. Their influence spread far and wide.
Other than the descendants, no one particularly cared about the rest of their family branch. After all, the classes had been fixed. Over the past thousand years, there were very few cases where peasants became aristocrats.
But this time, the Wei Wu Army was different. Many aristocrats even felt that the leader of the Wei Wu Army would be able to rise among the chaos. It was not impossible for him to become an aristocrat!
Thus, everyone started to investigate their family history and see whether he was in the records. Every year, the family branches would report their family history to the main branch so that they would be able to support their descendants, or lend their fame. But even then, there would be family branches that were gradually forgotten.
The main family branch did not care about this, as they would always be the top.
But now, it was different. If they would confirm that he was a member of their family branch, they would be able to benefit! He would be of assistance to the main branch!
After all the Lu families sprang into action, they realized that they could not find a person called Lu Shu… it was as if he had appeared out of thin air!
But at that moment, the Lu family from Liu Li Lane in the palace suddenly announced that Lu Shu was part of their family branch.
When this piece of news started to spread, the Wei Wu Army and Lu Shu, who were not as popular in terms of bets, once again became the topic of discussion.
“Are you sure? Did the Lu family from Liu Li Lane say that?”
“They’re not lying! I didn’t expect that the new commander of the Wei Wu Army was from their family!”
“The Lu family from Liu Li Lane is an established family. It is normal if a member from the family branch has suddenly risen to power. Heh heh, no wonder Lu Shu is so daring. So he had backup!”
It was as if no one thought that the Lu family from Liu Li Lane was adding on to the situation. They simply admired Lu Shu!
Even Zhao Shuai was stunned when he heard about this. “No wonder he did not accept our recruitment offer. He is daring because he has sufficient backup.”
When Zhao Shuai had gone to send Lu Shu a letter, Lu Shu had rejected. Back then, Zhao Shuai had good intentions. Everyone knew that the Wei Wu Army had been making bold moves recently. Once the war was over, the aristocrats from North Region would gather and attack them. They would be very passive then.
Thus, the Song family offered them an attractive deal. On one hand, they wanted to lend assistance to the Wei Wu Army in the future. On the other hand, since they were working together, they wanted to give Lu Shu some protection. The aristocrat of the Song family treasured him.

But Lu Shu did not accept the deal.
At first, Song Ji could not understand the reason. But now, he understood. Lu Shu could act as he wanted with the Lu family from Liu Li Lane behind him…
Thus, the reason behind why the Wei Wu Army was so brave, arrogant, and able to rise up was all because of the Lu family. It was as if everything had happened naturally.
But they did not know that Lu Shu did not know the Lu family from Liu Li Lane. He dared to do all these with the Wei Wu Army because he was impressive!
The news from the Lu family did not spread outwards quickly. At least, there were no effects on the battlefield.
Lu Shu was still thinking about how to avoid paying bills for all of the Black Feather Army’s actions, he had decided to observe the battlefield. As long as the Black Feather Army could drag the battle for long enough for the Sword Hut selections to begin, and Lu Shu could enter the Sword Hut, no one would dare to provoke the Wei Wu Army.
Thus, he hoped that the Black Feather Army would be able to endure. It would benefit him as well.
Thus, Lu Shu initiated an internal meeting to discuss whether they wanted to use the Escape Poverty and Make a Fortune bandits to attack the aristocrat armies. Zhang Weiyu went crazy. He had endured for many years, but this was his first time seeing a bandit initiate a meeting to talk about military events.
The problem was not whether they were strong enough. Even if the bandits were strong, they still had to consider the consequences of fighting an army, right?
But Lu Shu did not care so much. “I am very worried that if we do not help them, the Black Feather Army would not be able to endure…”
Zhang Weiyu laughed coldly. “You underestimate the Black Feather Army. I am not overly praising them. Although the aristocrats are waiting at ease for the fatigued Black Feather Army, and the Black Feather Army has participated in the war for a few months, the elite are still the elite. If the aristocrat armies do not mobilize their top powers, then it would be very easy for the Black Feather Army to defeat the aristocrat armies. Thus, even if the Black Feather Army does not have the ability to continue heading north, it will not be a problem for them to defend Wei Bei Pass for another six months. Furthermore, the Black Feather Army forces in Li Yang Pass have started to kill their enemies. The Black Feather Army forces here must protect the retreat route for the soldiers in the north! So I am very sure that there will not be any major changes to the battle before the Sword Hut selection!”
At that moment, Liu Yizhao suddenly walked in. “Great Lord, the Black Feather Army has decided to retreat!”
Lu Shu silently looked at Zhang Weiyu. Zhang Weiyu was dumbfounded. “There’s something wrong! They retreated just like that?”
Zhang Weiyu could not understand. He had analyzed the situation in a rational manner. If he was the leader of an army, he would not give up on Wei Bei Pass easily. Once they gave up, the Black Feather Army forces in the Li Yang Pass would be done for!
In reality, Zhang Weiyu’s analysis was correct. If he was the leader of the Black Feather Army, he might have been able to fight a better fight.
But the Wei Wu Army’s confusing operations caused this battle to develop in an unpredictable manner…
This time, the Black Feather Army decided to retreat. The leader of the Black Feather Army did not think that they were not able to defeat the aristocrat armies. In reality, his analysis was the same as Zhang Weiyu’s. He had a 90% possibility of defeating them!
But the problem was, he could no longer wait. The leader of the Black Feather Army had bet everything in the gambling dens. In the beginning, he was certain that the Wei Wu Army would not deploy their forces. But the Escape Poverty and Make a Fortune bandits made them worried.
Thus, the leader of the Black Feather Army decided to stop waiting. He gave up on this game. Could he hide now? Could he leave now?
Once the Black Feather Army retreated from Wei Bei Pass, the bets would end early as well. This was silent acknowledgment that the Wei Wu Army did not deploy their forces. As for whether the Wei Wu Army would deploy their soldiers in the future, this had nothing to do with this round of bets!
Now, the leader of the Black Feather Army panicked. He had to leave as soon as possible!
This was the first time in the history of the Luniverse that a battle had been influenced by gamblers…
