Lu Tu laughed arrogantly, "Does Prince Duan think that I have any need to lie right now?"
Prince Duan glanced at the dozen or so Imperial Guards surrounding Lü Tu and nodded: "Then tell me the prescription."
Yun Tian shouted, "Someone, bring me paper and pen!"
Lu Tu stood there and sneered: "Prince Duan, do you think I'm incredibly stupid? Since I have a cure for smallpox, why would I hand it over so rashly?"
Prince Duan looked at him disdainfully: "Do you think you still have room to bargain?" As he spoke, he was about to retreat behind the Imperial Guards.
But at that moment, Lü Tu, who had not originally intended to make a move, quickly stepped forward and pounced straight at Prince Duan.
Lu Tu's sudden outburst was truly unexpected by the Embroidered Uniform Guards. They did not expect that Lu Tu would still dare to attack Prince Duan without any weapons.
At the same time, he also raised his sword and slashed towards Lü Tu's inevitable path, anticipating the attack, and shouted sharply, "How dare you!"
Lu Tu had already anticipated their prediction. That gesture was a feint; his real target was the Jinyiwei guards with their gate wide open in front of him!
Lu Tu transformed his claws into fists and struck the nearest Imperial Guard in the abdomen, exploding his liver and rendering him incapacitated on the spot.
Lu Tu swiftly grabbed the embroidered spring knife from his hand, while Liu Hong and the others beside him also attacked at the same time, rushing towards the Imperial Guards next to them.
Faced with the sharp blades of the Imperial Guards, Liu Hong and the others had no choice but to barely avoid vital points and try to entangle their opponents.
Lu Tu knew he only had one chance to strike. If this attack failed, not only would he die here, but his four newlywed wives and the child in their wombs would also likely never see the light of day.
The life and death of his entire family were in Lu Tu's hands, and he had to take him down quickly. Even if this matter escalated to the point that he had to rebel prematurely, he was not afraid!
A true man knows what to do and what not to do. If he were to act like a lamb to the slaughter at this time, it would not be the style of Lu Tu!
Lu Tu exchanged blows with the Imperial Guard blocking Zhao Xiao's path, and using the momentum from the rebound, he twisted forward and attacked Zhao Xiao.
When had Zhao Xiao ever seen such a scene? He had only heard rumors about Lü Tu before. He had been born in the palace since childhood and had learned martial arts, but all his opponents had always been lenient with him. Lü Tu, on the other hand, was a true warrior god of Wuchuan who had fought his way out of mountains of corpses and seas of blood.
Zhao Xiao no longer dared to fight him. He was instantly terrified and looked around in panic: "Yun Tian, save me!"
Yun Tian was also in a bad mood. He had been secretly reminding Zhao Xiao to stay away from Lü Tu, but he didn't expect the kid to be so arrogant and insist on standing in front of Lü Tu to show off. Even he didn't dare to get too close to Lü Tu.
But now that he heard Zhao Xiao calling him, he couldn't just stand by and do nothing. If Zhao Xiao were really captured by Lü Tu and something bad happened to him...
A prince died in Wuchuan City, right in his own military commandhouse. Even if he had killed the entire Lü Tu family, he would still lose his head if the matter were investigated.
Faced with the attacking Lü Tu, Zhao Xiao threw a punch, but Lü Tu grabbed his hand and twisted him behind his back, instantly controlling him and pressing his embroidered spring knife against Zhao Xiao's neck.
Just as Lü Tu was about to shout for a stop, a delicate shout came from deep within the Commandant's mansion: "Stop!"
Upon hearing this, everyone present stopped.
Even Lü Tu was taken aback, then lowered his voice and said fiercely, "Who stole my lines?"
After the Imperial Guards stopped, Liu Hong and the others quickly moved closer to Lü Tu. In just one or two rounds, almost all of them were injured, though not seriously, but it was still quite dangerous.
After all, not everyone is as fierce as Lü Tu, who can disarm a sword barehanded.
Hearing this delicate shout, Zhao Xiao, who was being held hostage by Lü Tu, felt a glimmer of hope in his eyes and cried out, "Sister, save me!"
Immediately afterwards, a beautiful figure appeared before everyone's eyes, followed by more Imperial Guards. This group quickly took control of the situation.
Lu Tu frowned. The current situation was almost a dead end for him. It seemed that he had no choice but to rebel.
He only had one option left: to take Zhao Xiao hostage and return to the village, then leave with his soldiers, wives, children, and elderly relatives. As for the common people? Those who wanted to follow him could follow him; it was entirely voluntary.
Moreover, his soldiers might not be willing to follow Lü Tu to the ends of the earth, since Lü Tu was doing business that put their heads on the line.
"Second sister, quickly have someone kill Lü Tu! Otherwise, he'll kill me!"
The woman stood gracefully in the training ground, her every move exuding elegance and nobility. She looked at Lü Tu, who was cornered and forced into a dead end, and sized him up.
He said coldly, "I advise you not to do anything foolish."
Lu Tu Yiran said fearlessly, "You should say this to yourself. If you don't want to see Zhao Xiao's head roll, then have your men do it and see if their embroidered spring knives are faster or my hands, this country bumpkin's hands, are faster!"
Yun Tian, standing to the side, rebuked, "Lu Tu, how dare you! Do you know who you're talking to? This is Zhao Qingyao, the second princess of the Great Yu Dynasty. She has come to Wuchuan to go to Wuhuan and marry the Wuhuan Khan!"
Zhao Qingyao, who had previously been cold and aloof, unconsciously showed a hint of grievance in her eyes after hearing the words "marriage alliance," which was keenly noticed by Lü Tu.
Sending her to the Wuhuan for a political marriage? This woman's life is truly miserable. However, upon hearing this, Lü Tu felt there might still be room for negotiation!
"So what if you killed Zhao Xiao? Soon another prince will come to replace him. But I can tell you the truth: not only will your whole family die with you, but also your soldiers and the people under your jurisdiction. I've heard that you manage things in an orderly manner and seem to be a good official?"
How could Lü Tu not understand such an obvious gesture of goodwill?
He decided to give Zhao Qingyao face and said, "Second Princess, I didn't want to hold Prince Duan hostage, but His Highness listened to Yun Tian's slander and kept pushing me to the brink. I really have nowhere else to go!"
Upon hearing this, Yun Tian was so angry that he jumped up and down: "Lu Tu, I'll fuck your grandpa! How dare you slander me in front of Her Highness the princess? I'll kill you right now!"
As he spoke, Yun Tian snatched a long knife from one of his men. Lu Tu was about to move when he heard Zhao Xiao, whom he was holding hostage, scream in terror: "Yun Tian, you son of a bitch, do you want me dead?"
Then he shouted at Lü Tu, "Lü Tu, let me go! I'm going to kill this bastard with my own hands!"
But how could Lu Tu believe his words? Right now, apart from the possibility of cooperating with the Second Princess Zhao Qingyao, he didn't believe anyone else!
