call!
Lu Jianxing quickly removed a few tiles and gracefully jumped down from the roof, landing without making a sound.
As soon as he landed, he knelt beside the bathtub and whispered his apology:
"Please forgive me, my lord. I was going to signal you, but I had no idea you were taking a bath. I deserve to die!"
"Haha, you're innocent!" Liu Wei laughed. "Didn't scare you, did I?"
Lu Jianxing: ?
Seeing Lu Jianxing's panicked and bewildered expression, Liu Wei stopped joking with him:
"What intelligence do you have to share? Is it about Liaodong or Commander Zhao Yun?"
Lu Jianxing shook his head: "No, it's about Ji Province. Yuan Shao's son Yuan Xi, along with his strategist Xu You and general Han Meng, are leading two thousand elite cavalry and five thousand infantry to take over the three counties of Zhongshan, Changshan, and Zhao!"
"Yuan Shao became suspicious of General Gao Lan and wanted to remove him from his position as governor and take over his troops."
Upon hearing this, Liu Wei exclaimed, "Your information is outdated; it must be from several days ago!"

"This is my dereliction of duty!" Lu Jianxing readily admitted.
He knew his lord's temperament: if he made a mistake, he would admit it and be forgiven; but if he lied, he would face certain death.
"You're traveling from Youzhou, you shouldn't have known it would be this fast, the fault isn't yours!"
Liu Wei gently lifted it.
"My lord, in addition, Clerk Tian is worried about your safety and has ordered Commander Wang's guard battalion to come to the vicinity to lie in ambush and await orders."
"General Li Su's 5,000 troops have also been mobilized by Tian Zhubu to the border between Zhuojun and Zhongshan State, and can be deployed at any time."
Lu Jianxing's expression immediately turned serious, and he reported the situation of Wang Fangyi and Li Su to Liu Wei.
"Hehe, Yuanfang knows me well!"
Liu Wei smiled and said, "Commander Lu, now send someone to Prefect Gao Lan of Changshan State and Zhang He of Mo County respectively!"
"Issue my decree: Do as I command!"
