Chapter 533 Extra: Nothingness Left (Part 21)
Seeing Liao Wu's worried expression, Lu Peiran asked with concern, "Senior brother, what's wrong?"
Looking at the flickering candlelight, Liao Wu said with a touch of sadness, "It's nothing, I just suddenly felt..."
Regardless of who ultimately wins, it will be the innocent people who suffer in the end.
A hint of coldness flashed in Lu Peiran's eyes, "But there's nothing we can do about it."
To avoid the worst outcome, appropriate sacrifices are necessary.
Senior brother, although we revere gods and Buddhas, we are not gods or Buddhas.
If you want to make the best choice for the people, you have no choice but to select from these options.
Liao Wu closed his eyes. "Hmm... I'll listen to you guys."
However, the King of Lu has already sent someone to contact me today.
Upon hearing this, Lu Peiran frowned. "What did he say?"
Liao Wu handed him the letter that Shui Sheng had brought back.
Lu Peiran opened the letter and read it carefully, growing angrier the more he read.
At first, the King of Lu was able to say a few polite words, but in the end, it was nothing short of blatant threats and inducements.
King Lu conveyed this message to Wu.
He urged Liao Wu to quickly escape from the palace and go to a small town he had designated.
In that small town lived his elite troops, whom he had carefully trained.
Once they arrive there, King Lu will send someone to help Wu put on a show.
At that time, Liao Wu will only need to use his popularity to ignite the first spark of rebellion.
After reading the entire letter, Lu Peiran angrily crumpled it into a ball. "Senior brother! Look at what he wrote, he simply doesn't respect you at all!"
Who does he think he is? How dare he talk to you like that!
My father was right after all; King Lu is not someone we can cooperate with.
Senior brother, you absolutely mustn't agree to him! He's just using you as a target for him!
He nodded without hesitation. "I know, but that's not my biggest concern right now."
I've had a concern in my mind, junior brother, could you go back and ask your father for me?
Lu Peiran readily nodded in agreement, "Go ahead!"
Liao Wu slowly revealed his plans.
After hearing his words, Lu Peiran was stunned. "Senior brother, I know you are kind-hearted and don't want to see too many people die in this palace."
But this is about changing dynasties! How can there be no bloodshed?!
Liao Wu silently rubbed the Buddhist prayer beads wrapped around his wrist. "How will you know if you don't try?"
"You just need to go back and tell your father about this. As long as they agree to my conditions, I can guarantee what I said."
Lu Peiran glanced at him hesitantly, but after seeing the unquestionable expression on his face, she nodded in compromise.
"Okay! Then I'll go back and tell my father, but he might not agree right away."
But I will do my best to persuade him, senior brother, wait for me!
Liao Wu smiled and nodded, "I believe you."
After exchanging a few words with Wu You, Lu Peiran hurriedly left.
Upon returning to the Lu family home, Lu Peiran immediately went to the study.
Seeing Lu Heng deep in thought, staring at the map of the imperial city's defenses, Lu Peiran's eyes flickered twice.
