With Luzi's current financial power, his worth is beyond estimation. If he were willing to invest his entire fortune in a certain country, the nation's GDP would instantly multiply several times.
Wei Wujie had naturally heard about this matter. Now, it wasn't just Luzi wanting to wear that Feudal States Military Uniform; even if he sought out King Wei for an officer's position, it wouldn't be a problem at all. Just imagining Luzi flaunting the Wei official Armor in front of him made Wei Wujie want to find something to chop in frustration. Rolling his eyes, he decided to ignore this detestable person altogether.
Luzi, of course, couldn't be bothered with this fellow who dreamed of becoming a general. He turned back to see Li Xin's emotions were stable and then focused on the person across from him. “General Dong, are you well!?”
Having long prepared for glorious death, Dong Qing was surprised to find he could still live; the situation seemed completely predictable. He responded loudly, claiming he was in great health and could eat five pounds of beef and still feel only half full.
In that case, it was time for a change!
After both sides confirmed the safety of the hostages, they proceeded with the exchange as initially agreed. Fortunately, neither side carried weapons like Crossbows, so there was no worry about a sneak attack. Luzi went over to embrace Dong Qing, then shielded Doctor Dong from behind.
Luzi did not intend to leave just yet. He turned back to see Dong Qing jumping onto the carriage and loudly reminded everyone across from him, “Listen up! Including that Wei Wujie! The waters of Shangdang are murky! If you leave now, let's part ways amicably! Offending me, Great Qin, without realizing it will have consequences!”
The group led by General Jin Bi, who were about to turn and leave, stopped upon hearing the shout from behind. Wei Wujie's Retainer, who had long wanted to take action, gritted his teeth even more upon realizing that their opponent didn't regard their master as a serious matter. He mounted his horse, ready to charge out and kill, but was stopped by Wei Wujie raising his hand.
Wei Wujie had already recognized who was riding opposite them: it was the descendant of the Sharpshooter Clan, Li Xin! His archery skills were unpredictable, making it impossible to anticipate the angle of his arrows. If they fought privately now, no one would know the outcome. But facing several of his own generals and being overshadowed by Li Xin would be quite embarrassing!
Stopping his impulsive Retainer, Wei Wujie shouted loudly, “Luzi! Enough nonsense! I do not wish to stoop to the level of a Scoundrel. Let’s meet on the battlefield this afternoon!”
Proudly adjusting his general's Armor, Luzi shot a glance at Wei Wujie. “This armor fits perfectly! Listen up! I believe the battlefield is for soldiers; what gives you the right to challenge me on it?!”
This was an eternal sore spot for Wei Wujie. Being humiliated by Luzi in front of everyone only fueled his anger further. “Luzi! Don't push your luck! Come on! Let’s have a Battle! Three hundred rounds!” As he spoke, he reached for his sword, ready to engage.
Jin Bi saw the scene in chaos and hurriedly sent a few generals to stop the desperate Xingling Jun. Then he clasped his hands towards Luzi and shouted loudly, "The green mountains remain, and the waters flow forever! General Lu! Let us part ways here!" After saying that, he waved to everyone and turned to leave.
"Luzi! You're just a commoner!" Wei Wujie, wary of Li Xin's methods, wondered if the Li Family's divine bow was hidden in the carriage. It was fine to vent some frustration with a few insults, but if he really charged over, he would have to think twice.
Luzi felt increasingly angry at missing another chance to confront his enemy. He had intended to challenge Wei Wujie one-on-one and avenge his brother in the process. This was why he had tried repeatedly to provoke Wei Wujie, hoping to slay him today.
"Hmph! Talking to a gentleman with gentlemanly words, and to a commoner with gentlemanly words—does he even understand!?"
Dong Qing and Jin Bi across from him did not expect Luzi to act this way today. Although they knew there must be reasons behind it, this was not a place to linger. If things continued like this, an uncontrollable situation might arise. Thus, they each focused on their own side and managed to completely separate the two who were about to clash.
Li Xin, who thrived on chaos, had long been displeased with Wei Wujie and wished for him to fall into a trap. Seeing Dong Qing jump down from the carriage to persuade Luzi, he reluctantly abandoned the idea of meddling further. After much persuasion, they finally managed to get Luzi into the carriage.
Dong Qing signaled Li Xin to leave quickly while observing the still-fuming Luzi. "For someone who has just experienced battle, suddenly entering a peaceful period can lead to lingering effects. It takes time to recover; you'll get used to it. It's nothing!"
Luzi also felt he had acted a bit out of line earlier and nodded in understanding. He turned his gaze towards the northern sky and sighed, "General Dong! The Shangdang Campaign has probably already begun."
The Shangdang Campaign has begun!? Wasn't that nearing its end? Moreover, the main force of the Qin Army was intensifying preparations for an attack on the Zhao Army stationed at Taihang Mountain after the snow melted. If that could be considered a campaign, it should be called the Taihang Campaign! Completely puzzled, Dong Qing looked at Luzi with questioning eyes, wanting to hear his explanation.
Luzi smiled wryly. "General! Our Wild King City is not an isolated case; it's part of the entire campaign. I believe that as Wei Kingdom attacks Wild King City, my main forces scattered in the Shangdang Region are also encountering attacks."
Upon hearing this, Dong Qing broke out in a cold sweat. Looking back at the road where no pursuers appeared, he asked, "Is the information reliable?"
Luzi nodded heavily. "Due to the urgency of the situation, I couldn't report it to you first; I have already sent urgent documents to Capital Xianyang and our military camp."
Military Situation Urgent, like putting out a fire. Dong Qing understood the situation well, so there was no blame in his tone. “General Lu! Are you suggesting that our reinforcements might not arrive!?”
Luzi was not inclined to think positively at this moment; he considered the worst-case scenario, which could only be beneficial in determining whether the problem could ultimately be resolved. The reality was that the Qin Army, even if they couldn't spare any troops, still had to consider their own supplies. But can you really place all your hopes on this Above!? Therefore, without hiding anything, he directly admitted, “General! The situation is likely just as you fear!”
“Isn’t the main force of the Zhao Army concentrated around Taihang Mountain? Where did they get so many troops from out of nowhere...” Dong Qing’s question was left unfinished as he suddenly realized. No wonder! How could Xingling Jun possibly appear in the Zhao Army camp? This army clearly belonged to his Wei Kingdom! What’s infuriating is that, to cover their tracks, they had all changed into Zhao uniforms!
“General, return to the city!” Li Xin shouted loudly from the city wall: “Open the city gates!”
The several generals stationed at Wild King City did not return to their respective quarters to wait for news but remained on the City Wall observing. When they confirmed that three people were returning instead of two, they knew that Doctor Dong had come back! They quickly moved into the city gate and, upon hearing the shouts from outside, immediately ordered the gates to be opened.
On the way back, Luzi had already informed Dong Qing of the current situation. He hoped it would be best for the Grand General to make a decision on this matter. It was now a matter of utmost urgency! The time had come for all the soldiers defending the city to prepare to live or die with it!
