Chapter 263: The best strategy
On the second day, a piece of gossip spread like wildfire in Ding'an City, quickly causing a sensation.
"Have you heard? The old man of the Lu family suddenly became a boy again!"
"Return to youth? How is this possible!"
"Are you kidding me? Mr. Lu has been suffering from a serious illness for a long time. He has been in a wheelchair for more than ten years. He was already on the verge of death. How could he suddenly rejuvenate? I think he has regained his youth!"
"Rejuvenation is a phenomenon that only happens to strong people with great cultivation potential. Although the old man of the Lu family is powerful, his cultivation aptitude is only ordinary. His cultivation has already reached its limit. , has not made any progress for decades, how can someone like him suddenly become a child again?"
"Impossible, impossible..."
"Hey, you don't know this, right? Mr. Lu does not have a very high talent for cultivation, but he has a powerful grandson. It is said that he is his grandson from the Dali Sword Sect, and he sent someone to bring him back. After taking this rejuvenating pill, he suddenly became fifty years younger!"
"Fifty years old? How is this possible!"
"Mr. Lu is only in his eighties. If he suddenly became fifty years younger, wouldn't he be only in his thirties now?"
“It’s really bragging about not drafting!”
"Why did I lie to you? Don't use your mortal wisdom to speculate on the power of gods! Do you think that the rejuvenation pill is an ordinary pill? That is an elixir! Not only does it use dragon sinews and bones, Such rare treasures as phoenix blood were personally refined by the head of the Dali Sword Sect! In other words, such an elixir was the most expensive thing in the entire Dali Sword Sect in one year! Just give birth to one!"
"This is all true! When Mr. Lu took the elixir, the sky above the Lu family residence was full of glowing lights, and many people around him saw it!"
"I have a relative who lives in the east of the city. His home is not far from the old house of the Lu family. He saw this with his own eyes! At that time, my relative was frightened. He thought that some kind of god had descended to earth and frightened him. He immediately knelt on the ground and kept kowtowing in worship..."
"It seems that the third young master of the Lu family is really promising! He can actually get such an elixir..."
"More importantly, he was willing to send someone back to pay tribute to Mr. Lu for such an elixir..."
"The old lady of the Lu family is really lucky. He was almost half buried in the ground, but he didn't expect that such a good thing would happen to him suddenly!"
Outsiders were jealous and envious, treating this incident as a great anecdote.
The reaction of the children of the Lu family was completely different from that of the outsiders. As people who had witnessed Lu Wenyao's astonishing changes overnight, the impact on their hearts was even more shocking.
Although Lu Wenyao is not as exaggerated as being fifty years younger in one fell swoop, he has indeed become radiant from an old age. Not only did he get rid of the constraints of the wheelchair, but he also convened a clan meeting early the next morning, showing his tenacity and abundant energy.
Facing all this, everyone in the Lu family was dumbfounded.
At this moment, they all suddenly realized that the Lu family was completely different from what it used to be. Through the great changes in Lu Wenyao, they all seemed to see infinite hope...
And all these changes came from one person, a person who never showed up from beginning to end, but with a single move, he completely overturned the fate of the entire family.
Suddenly, Lu Yu's image in everyone's hearts suddenly grew taller, as brilliant as a god!
However, Lu Yu himself was completely unaware of this series of changes.
Because he had already led the troops he had just conquered, boarded the Black Dragon, and marched northward, with his troops pointing directly at Lujiang City.
"Reporting to my cousin, a total of 1,856 members of the Bu family have all boarded the ships! The six ships have also been installed and are ready to set off at any time!"
On the Black Dragon, Bu Yuntian stood tremblingly in front of Lu Yu and reported respectfully.
With the power of the battle at the dock, Bu Yuntian effortlessly took over the entire Bu family from Bu Minghai. Now he is a veritable head of the Bu family. This was originally an achievement that he dreamed of. Normally, he would have been in high spirits, but at this moment, he did not feel the joy he imagined in his heart.
He had also heard about what happened in the Lu family's old house, and naturally knew that it was all Lu Yu's fault. He felt increasingly unfathomable towards this cousin who was obviously Lu Yu's spokesperson, and he didn't know why the other party wanted to do this. Let yourself summon all the Bu family members to board the ship. Is this a blessing or a curse...
However, Bu Yuntian had no choice at all. Since he had already boarded the other party's pirate ship, there was only one way to get to the end...
Lu Yu glanced at the long fleet following the Black Dragon and nodded gently.
"Very good! Go back and command the Bu family's fleet! Pay attention to the ships behind you to pay attention to the flag on the Black Dragon!"
"On this journey, the Bu family's ships can just follow the Black Dragon. Our main ship will be responsible for guarding, and let the Bu family's brothers have a good rest on the ship and recuperate first!"
Bu Yuntian opened his mouth, but stopped talking.
He wanted to ask Lu Yu, was he really going to Lujiang City to start a war with the Xiang family this time?
Although they do seem to have strong troops and horses at the moment, if they want to go to war with the Xiang family, this power is not enough, because the Xiang family is not only powerful, they also firmly control the county governor's mansion and control the representatives. the violent institutions of the state.
Standing behind the Xiang family was actually the entire Dawu Dynasty!
Facing such a force, even if the elders of the Dali Sword Sect come, most of them will not dare to act rashly... As for Lu Yu, even if he succeeds and has the power to reach the sky, I am afraid he can only stay away...
But Bu Yuntian still didn't ask any questions after all, and retreated uneasily.
After he completely retreated, the Wen sisters on the side finally couldn't help but asked the question for him out of curiosity.
"Brother Wang, with all the fanfare on our trip, are we really going to have a head-on fight with that Xiang family?"
"If we really have to fight head-on, it might be a little difficult..."
"The Xiang family may not be anything to worry about. It's easy to suppress them with our methods, but what's really difficult is that the other party is not just a family force, they also represent the imperial court of the Great Wu Kingdom..."
"We, the Dali Sword Sect, have regulations that do not allow our disciples to use force against the Wu Kingdom court without permission. It would be okay if they took the initiative to provoke us, but if we take the initiative to trouble them, I am afraid we will be severely punished. …”
The Wen sisters frowned slightly. Although they looked in a dilemma on the surface, they were actually just deliberately trying to make trouble for Lu Yu. If Lu Yu really wanted them to take action, they would not hesitate at all.
Lu Yu waved his hands indifferently: "Two venerables, please rest assured. How could someone like me, the king, deliberately make it difficult for the two venerables? This trip to the Lujiang River can be done with the two venerables sitting on the boat. There is no need for the two of you to take action!”
"Really?" Sister Wen was slightly surprised.
Lu Yu smiled slightly, full of confidence.
"As the saying goes, attack with troops! Fighting head-on with the opponent is the stupidest way. In fact, the purpose of us marching northward with great fanfare this time is just to attract the opponent's attention from the front... Then there will naturally be The allies suddenly appeared and gave them a fatal blow in the back, and then we cooperated internally and externally to completely defeat the opponent without any effort! "
"ally?"
The Wen sisters were very surprised.
When did the Lu family have such an ally, and why was it never mentioned before along the way?
Besides, if there really was such a reliable ally, how could he sit back and watch the Lu family besieged by the thirteen family alliances without doing anything?
The two sisters' eyes were bright, staring at the scar on Lu Yu's face without blinking, looking forward to what he would say next.
At this moment, Lu Yu deliberately pretended to be secretive and turned to look at a middle-aged man standing on the other side.
"Uncle Fu, I'm going to have to work hard for you this time. Accompany me to go to Lujiang City, crawl around in the dragon's pond and the tiger's den, and see if you can contact our allies!"
This middle-aged man is Lu Wenyao's exclusive bodyguard, Lu Yongfu, the coach who has been loyal to the Lu family for many years.
Hearing this, Lu Yongfu couldn't help but think of what Mr. Lu told him before leaving...
At that time, Mrs. Lu held his hand tightly and told him solemnly that this trip to Lujiang was extremely important and even directly related to the future destiny of the entire family, so he needed to go there in person as the representative of the Lu family. Visit Lujiang City.
Lu Yongfu looked forward, looking at the continuous waves on the river, his eyes full of determination.
"Young Master Biao is serious, this is our Lu family's business... As a member of the Lu family, I will serve the Lu family without any hesitation!"
