Hearing that Luzi finally got to the point, Wang Jian was moved to tears. It is well known that romantic feelings between men and women cannot be controlled. Even if a deity develops human emotions, it is not something that can be completely forgotten in just a few days! Regarding this topic, it can only be understood through personal realization.
Originally, it was thought that with time, these feelings would fade, but unexpectedly, after Luzi was injured, Lu Chu became increasingly worried, leading to their reunion. If Lu Chu had been inconspicuous before, now he was a fully competent national official in the role of Artificer. Any attempt to handle matters through extraordinary means would require much more consideration than before.
Personal realization will always lead to clarity at critical moments. Perhaps this is more of heaven's favor! Just as an excited Wang Jian was about to offer his support, he saw a rider rushing back on the main road.
"Lu Chu!?" The two generals on the city tower exclaimed almost simultaneously.
When Lu Chu arrived outside the city and looked up, he saw a familiar face. All his feelings of loss and helplessness instantly turned into tears. He dismounted and gazed at the person deeply hidden in his heart.
Luzi slapped the city parapet and jumped down. Amidst the soldiers' screams thinking the general was about to commit suicide, they realized he had landed safely on the ground.
Wang Jian had intended to block the way down to remind his brother to be cautious of the impact at this moment. His attention was solely on the city path, but he did not expect Luzi to jump off the city wall directly. By the time he wanted to stop him, it was already too late; he could only lean over the City Wall to confirm whether the jumper was safe.
Seeing both individuals outside the city simultaneously perform their land-flying technique and stop as they approached made Wang Jian sweat profusely. Realizing the situation was under control allowed him to finally relax his heart that had been in his throat. Under everyone's gaze, the two big men embraced... this situation was utterly inexplicable! Admitting that Lu Chu was a woman would mean they all bore guilt for deceiving their lord. Not admitting it would inevitably tarnish Luzi's reputation.
However... hey! This guy doesn’t look like someone who has just recovered from a serious illness!
It’s great to be alive! Lu Chu took a deep breath to control his emotions and then bowed down. "Scoundrel pays respects to General Lu!"
Without King Zhao of Qin's appointment, Luzi's so-called general status was merely ornamental. To put it nicely, it was just a title given by his brothers without any specific meaning in the military. It was similar to how former companions referred to him as Prime Minister Jiang; it wasn’t taken seriously. Even if Luzi held a high position in reality, only his brothers knew about it; outsiders could never know.
In contrast, Lu Chu's identity was different; his position as Artificer was an actual role. Moreover, it had been appointed by King Qin and was officially recorded for verification.
As the saying goes, when a name is right, words follow. How could Luzi allow the Artificer to bow to him? Fortunately, the two were close enough that he quickly reached out to support the collapsing figure. "I am a general with a name but no substance; Artificer, please do not do this." After saying this, worried that the beautiful woman might not understand, he gestured with his eyes to indicate that someone was on the city wall.
Lu Chu was also a sensible person and understood the reason as soon as Luzi's thoughts appeared. He stood up and looked at the person who jumped down from the city wall without any issues, suddenly bursting into hearty laughter. As long as the person was fine, even if they could never meet again, it would save him from worrying.
Luzi gazed at the face he had longed for and felt something strange in his heart. This face was not truly Lu Chu's, so it was normal for him to have odd thoughts. He reached out to wipe away the tears at the corners of his eyes and gently stroked the two cheeks that were frozen red like peach blossoms.
The disguise technique used fake faces, so the makeup artist's complexion would not be seen by outsiders. However, Lu Chu was different at this moment; she looked almost real. It seemed that Lu Chu had not only been busy studying woodworking but had also mastered the art of makeup! Luzi admired her rosy cheeks and couldn't help but marvel.
"Chuchu's skills are probably unmatched in the world."
Lu Chu raised Luzi's hand and placed it on her face, gently rubbing back and forth. All his worries vanished upon seeing Luzi looking lively and well; he happily replied, "As the Ancient People say, a strong general has no weak soldiers. With Lu Zigang's ability to jump over walls, it is only natural that there are countless capable people around him!"
Since restoring his identity, this was the first time Luzi laughed heartily. Now looking at the surrounding mountains, they seemed much more vibrant. Earlier, he had been anxious that someone might blink away and disappear, which made him a bit impatient. But now there was no need for concern because he was holding a pair of icy little hands.
Disguise generally refers to changing the appearance of the person in disguise. As for rumors in the martial world about changing one's body, he had never seen it firsthand. Even during his carefree days in the mountain caves, Luzi had never seen this master of disguise alter her own form. This meant that the small hands he held were indeed real.
Despite having countless words prepared in his mind, upon seeing her, he couldn't recall a single one. But none of that mattered anymore; what mattered was seeing her. While gently rubbing her small hands to warm them up, he scolded lightly, "What are you running around for in this cold winter? The craftsmen back home are busy making weapons; how can they manage without you?"
In fact, this situation could be considered fortunate; an unexpected heavy snowfall made travel difficult. The Engineering Corps of Qin State had not yet connected Heavenly Road, causing the returning horse team to be stranded in Wusui County. According to an accompanying Astrologer, they might have to stay in town for another ten days or half a month to see how the weather turned out. Lu Chu calculated that there was enough time for a round trip and decided on a whim to ride over to see Luzi.
She was also someone who wouldn't let others have the last word; upon hearing ungrateful remarks, she retorted defiantly, "Didn’t the general often say that as a leader one must learn to delegate? If everything is done personally, even ten Lu Chus would be exhausted!"
Wang Jian, who knew the details well, did not find it strange because it was not unusual for a man and woman to behave like this. Seeing them holding hands and touching faces down below, he could only take on his responsibility of maintaining order on the city wall. He loudly ordered bystanders to leave the wall and reminded duty personnel to return to their posts. Once order on the wall was restored, he leaned against City Wall to continue enjoying the scenery.
Unaware of what was happening outside the city, Li Xin and Sun Thirteen hurried over. Upon seeing two large men below the city wall being affectionate with each other, they quickly realized who these two were. This is a disaster! The rumors about Luzi liking men would probably be impossible to clarify even if he jumped into the Yellow River!
However, the three brothers had no intention of jumping down to intervene. After Luzi's injury in that incident, everyone suddenly understood an important truth. A person who was living well could suddenly be gone in an instant. If they had previously taken this saying as a joke, they had now completely accepted its reality.
The two individuals below were indeed people destined for greatness, and they naturally understood their responsibilities. If romantic feelings led to a loss of heroic spirit, then that was not Luzi and Lu Chu. The brothers were well aware that perhaps this would be their last separation, with no possibility of reunion. Since that was the case, sigh! They might as well stay a little longer if given the chance.
