Nangong Huiyu chuckled: "Of course! But I'm sorry, my husband, I can't actually contact my junior brothers."
Lu Tu laughed when he heard this, and gently stroked Nangong Huiyu's hair: "It's okay, as long as you are here, that's enough. I was just mentioning it casually. You brothers will meet again in the future if there is an opportunity."
Xiao Zhong arrived at this moment, and asked in surprise, "Senior Sister, Senior Sister, where is Junior Sister going?"
Nangong Huiyu had finally managed to have a moment of tenderness with Lü Tu when Xiao Zhong interrupted her. Naturally, she rolled her eyes in displeasure: "She's going to kill Zhao Wuyou, why are you going too?"
Xiao Zhong chuckled, speechless. "Senior sister, please don't tease me. Where can my old arms and legs go? It's just that I haven't seen Zhizhi in a long time."
Lu Tu looked at Xiao Zhong with a puzzled expression: "Mr. Xiao, are you really that trusting of Zhizhi?"
Xiao Zhong looked at Nangong Huiyu curiously: "Senior Sister, didn't you tell the Lord about Zhizhi's abilities?"
Nangong Huiyu was even more puzzled: "Didn't I say that?"
Lu Tu was speechless: "You only said she was the number one assassin in the world, I don't know anything else."
"That settles it then, doesn't it? My husband, you should know that the title of 'Number One Assassin in the World' wasn't bestowed by us, but by the Assassination Association!"
"And this association too?"
"Yes, the headquarters is in Yuhang Town, so you don't need to worry about Zhizhi. If she doesn't get anything from this trip, then there's only one possibility."
"What's possible?"
Nangong Huiyu said confidently, "That means Zhao Wuyou isn't here, and Zhizhi can't find anyone."
Lu Tu was somewhat shocked. To be honest, even as the former king of soldiers in the Dragon Kingdom, he wouldn't dare to make such an exaggerated statement. However, he could tell from the confident expressions of Nangong Huiyu and Xiao Zhong that they were indeed very confident in Niu Zhizhi.
"Alright, let's wish our junior sister a triumphant return!"
After having dinner with Xiao Zhong, Lü Tu called his wives into a room that evening to discuss the situation.
The final conclusion was: "Then let's ignore Zhao Qingyao and Prince Duan for now and live our own lives. We can deal with them when Zhao Qingyao finds out about us."
Lu Tu hadn't expected his wives to be even more carefree than him. It seemed that concern made him lose his composure. As the head of the family, Lu Tu always had to think things through more, after all, protecting every family member was his duty.
Three days passed in this way. During these three days, Lü Tu was training his soldiers and also sent Xiao Zhong to do ideological work on the 3,000 surrendered slave soldiers, which was to put it bluntly, to brainwash them.
That day, Lü Tu received a message from someone sent by Chai Yong: "My lord, something bad has happened. That guy has arrived."
Lu Tu was training new recruits on the drill ground at the time. Upon hearing this, he said unhappily, "You can't even speak clearly. Who the hell is so surprised to be here?"
"That...that bastard who led his assassins to attack our village back then!"
Upon hearing this, Lü Tu's eyes instantly turned red: "Xu Jing!?"
"Yes, that bastard! He's led over a thousand men and has already reached the Gubeifeng Pass!"
After a moment's thought, Lü Tu asked in a deep voice, "Where is Chai Yong? Did he die in battle?"
The messenger quickly shook his head: "At least when I left, Squad Leader Chai was still alive, and that bastard didn't seem to be here to fight, so the squad leader sent me to inform you!"
The conversation here also alerted Nie Yun, Liu Hong, Liu Yang and others. Liu Yang, in particular, was responsible for guarding the village that day and almost had Song Yuxi killed by Xu Jing and his assassins. This incident became a thorn in Liu Yang's side that he could never get over.
"Brother, does that scoundrel Xu Jing still dare to come here? Now that we have a strong army, let's go and take care of that bastard!"
"Yeah, boss, the brothers are itching to get started, so give the order!"
All he could hear were voices urging Lü Tu to take the initiative and attack. Lü Tu naturally knew that taking the initiative and killing Xu Jing was the best course of action right now.
But a sense of curiosity lingered in his heart. Xu Jing had almost died here last time and barely escaped with his life. How did he have the audacity to come looking for him now?
Regardless, Lü Tu still had to take his men over there quickly to see what tricks Xu Jing was up to.
He waved his hand and said, "Assemble 800 elite cavalry and follow me to the Gubei Peak Pass to support Chai Yong and annihilate the White Lotus rebels!"
Then he turned around and grabbed Liu Yang, who was about to go with him, and said in a deep voice, "You take the rest of the brothers and stay at home to guard the place."
"Brother, I... I almost made a mistake last time. I wanted to kill Xu Jing with my own hands!"
Lu Tu glanced at the two wooden houses of Zhao Qingyao and Prince Duan in the far distance and said in a low voice, "You need to know that last time we fell for Xu Jing's trick of luring us away from our mountain, so we have to be on guard this time, and you need to be extremely vigilant!"
Upon hearing this, Liu Yang's expression changed drastically: "Understood, brother, I'll go arrange it right away!"
"Also, don't let the princess and Prince Duan know about this, and don't let them wander around the village freely. Just say that there are bandits causing trouble outside."
"Yes, sir!"
Lu Tu then assigned the Sun brothers, Sun Kuang and Sun Meng, to guard the area near his home. After giving them all his instructions, he led 800 elite cavalrymen, carrying a large quantity of detonators and explosives, as well as composite bows, and marched in a grand procession toward the Gubeifeng Pass.
These 800 men were Lü Tu's most elite troops. No matter how many people they faced, as long as they were not ten times the size of their own elite forces, Lü Tu was confident that he could win!
After all, 800 people have their own fighting style, not to mention that Lu Tu also has tools for overwhelming force. No matter that Xu Jing brought thousands of people this time, even if he brought 10,000, Lu Tu can still attack or defend, and is not afraid of him at all!
The Gubeifeng Pass was not far away, and Lü Tu arrived with his men in no time. From a distance, they could see thousands of elite warriors.
Xu Jing and Lü Tu stared intently at each other from a distance. Enemies meeting are bound to be furious. If Lü Tu hadn't wanted to rescue Chai Yong, who was beside Xu Jing, he would have ordered an attack immediately.
As the distance decreased to 100 meters, Lü Tu pulled on the reins and casually gestured for the 800 cavalrymen behind him to stop.
In an instant, all 800 cavalrymen gripped their composite bows, ready to launch long-range attacks at lightning speed, taking advantage of the bows' superior speed.
Xu Jing's lips curled into a mocking smile: "Lu Tu, you're still as charming as ever after all this time. How is Nangong doing?"
Lu Tu snorted coldly: "She's much better than you. Our child was just born, and she's at home in confinement right now."
Upon hearing this, Xu Jing's eyes twitched. He had previously experienced Lü Tu's sharp tongue, which was in no way inferior to Lü Tu's fighting skills.
Seeing this, Lü Tu immediately became impatient: "Chai Yong, bring your men over here!"
"Wait!" As Xu Jing spoke to stop them, the surrounding soldiers surrounded Chai Yong and the others.
