Kill the person who gave the order?
General Qin frowned, thought for a moment, and then asked, "In your opinion, what should we do?"
Lu Huai stood with his hands behind his back, a gentle smile playing on his lips, and said, "Right now, this eunuch cannot be killed, nor can he be released. Let's detain him here for now. As for the rest of the plan..."
General Qin: "How is it?"
Lu Huai glanced around and said gently, "There are too many people here, so please come with me to the camp to discuss this."
...
...
Wuchang was taken away, along with his entire group of followers. Despite this, he seemed relieved, and after resisting for a moment, he submitted.
It was just a minor incident, and nobody took it to heart.
Military orders are absolute. If it weren't for the marshal's order that this person not be tortured or killed without authorization, the hot-blooded soldiers would probably have already gutted him.
As for Lu Huai, he followed General Qin into the camp along with Lu Chuan, Deputy General Gongsun, and Shu Zhan.
About an hour later, they came out.
Apart from them, no one knew what they talked about in the tent, nor did anyone know why two unremarkable young masters were able to stand by General Qin's side so quickly.
All they saw was that the boy, whose lips seemed to always be smiling, had an intense light in his eyes after he came out, like the bright moonlight.
Lu Chuan remained silent for a moment. He frowned as he looked at Lu Huai, hesitated for a long time, and finally spoke: "Chang Jue."
Lu Huai raised an eyebrow. "Hmm?"
Lu Chuan pursed his lips. "I think you're being a bit too hasty. Your plan seems flawless, but it's actually full of loopholes."
Lu Huai casually gave an "oh," then looked at him with a puzzled expression.
"Have you considered what you would do if the Prefect of Dongcheng didn't deliver the goods as you expected? What if Wuchang didn't follow your instructions and fabricated an imperial edict to deceive the Marshal? What if the Marshal became suspicious of all this?"
He bombarded him with a series of questions, even surprising Shu Zhan, who was walking behind.
Big brother... guessed everything?
"Oh." Lu Huai nodded. "Brother, I understand what you mean. But you're just worrying unnecessarily. None of these things will happen. Even if they do, I won't give them a chance to regret it."
The boy's eyes shone, and the smile on his lips made him dazzling, as if he had everything under control.
Lu Chuan looked at him for a long time, then finally sighed and said, "Chang Jue, you are a little too confident."
Lu Huai raised an eyebrow noncommittally, "Isn't it good to be confident? Besides, I have a plan in mind and I won't make any mistakes. Brother, you don't need to think too much, I have my own plans."
Lu Chuan patted him on the shoulder and said inexplicably, "I hope so, and I also hope you can win."
Then he turned and left.
Lu Huai stood still, not looking back at Shu Zhan behind him, but simply tilting his head slightly, his gaze falling on the bright full moon.
He looked down at the cold sweat on his palms, somewhat stunned.
Was he really that confident? Lu Huai shook his head with a wry smile. No, not at all. He was just bluffing.
He was just... afraid she wouldn't be able to wait.
...
...
The riots escalated almost overnight, and despite General Qin's "best efforts" to attack Dongcheng, it was to no avail.
