Before Zhao Cheng could agree or refuse, Li Lu said to the officials around him, "Please write another letter to the court for me, saying that I am escorting General Zhaoyong back to Yanchuan. Arrange for fast horses to scout ahead, plan the route, and notify the towns along the way that we are about to pass through!"
"yes!"
Zhao Cheng's eyes lit up, and he felt an even stronger liking for Li Lu.
The man understood him perfectly.
To say you're lonely is to say you need someone to protect you.
The purpose of having Zhou Nuo spread the word in the city was to keep the outside world informed of their movements at all times.
Li Lu's arrangement was to tie himself and the garrison to Zhao Cheng, so that no matter which town they arrived at, it would be known to the outside world.
Their whereabouts are completely transparent.
The more this is the case, the harder it is for those who want to harm Zhao Cheng to do so.
The nationally renowned anti-espionage hero was on his way home when he was murdered by a villain, who will then face the wrath of the entire nation. If the matter escalates too much, all officials in the area where Zhao Cheng was killed will be investigated and implicated.

Li Lu leaned closer to Zhao Cheng and lowered his voice, saying, "Li Dai is the Right Chancellor's student. Shouldn't you call him elder brother or senior brother?"
"Li Dai? Li Dai, the garrison commander of Yanchuan?"
"Exactly."
Zhao Cheng thought for a moment and realized that the first time he called Li Dai "Senior Brother" was when he was dealing with Su Wansan and Li Dai secretly let him out of the city.
Li Dai was thrilled when he heard the word "senior brother".
Li Lu smiled and said, "I am Li Dai's cousin."
