Xu Guangzhu gritted his teeth and tried hard not to be affected by General Lu's words, so as to conserve his remaining energy.

He couldn't waste any more energy now, he had to tell these things to others, to... His Majesty?

Will Your Majesty believe it?

General Lu's words slightly shook Xu Guangzhu's heart, but after all, he had never seen with his own eyes the groups of disaster victims and refugees outside the capital.

He even had a blind reverence for His Majesty.

The current monarch of their country is kind and gentle, completely different from the tyrannical previous king.

Although Xu Guangzhu couldn't explain where His Majesty's kindness lay, he was indeed gentle. At least he was not like the previous king who would kill anyone he disliked.

General Wang urged impatiently, "General Lu, how long are you going to dawdle? Don't tell me you don't dare to kill General Xu from your camp!"

"You won't regret it!"

General Lu's eyes became fierce, and his men showed no mercy anymore and stabbed Xu Guangzhu in the back.

"Boom!"

General Lu stabbed down with his knife, but the tip of the knife seemed to hit something hard and he couldn't poke it any further no matter how hard he tried.

"Ok?"

General Lu kicked Xu Guangzhu and pulled open his armor. He found that Xu Guangzhu was still wearing a breastplate!

"You're really afraid of death!"

General Wang couldn't help laughing, "It turns out that the generals of Ji State are so afraid of death!"

The smile on General Lu's lips faded, and he looked at General Wang viciously. He is still a general of Ji State. Is General Wang really not talking about him specifically?

General Lu violently pulled out the breastplate from Xu Guangzhu's chest and threw it to the ground.

Then he picked up the weapon again, pointed it at Seo Kwang-soo's heart, and was about to stab him, when suddenly -

"Whoosh!"

An arrow appeared out of nowhere and shot directly into General Lu's right hand holding the knife from the gap behind.

Seeing that the situation was not right, General Lu endured the pain and continued to stab coldly and ruthlessly.

Xu Guangzhu fell to the ground with a knife stuck in his chest. Blood kept flowing out. His pupils began to dilate and the muscles on his face moved slightly.

"Hmph!" General Lu snorted coldly and pulled out his knife without giving Xu Guangzhu any chance.

Anyone who has been stabbed knows that you should not pull the knife out immediately, otherwise the bleeding will continue.

General Lu just didn't want to leave Xu Guangzhu any chance to survive.

General Wang couldn't help but admire, "As expected of the person chosen by His Majesty, he is just ruthless and merciless."

General Lu had a gloomy face. He grasped the arrow stuck in his right hand with his left hand and simply pulled it out.

He looked carefully and found that this arrow was clearly the same arrow used by his soldiers, and it was engraved with the totem of the Ji State.

If he took this arrow back, someone would definitely question why a soldier aimed an arrow at him.

General Lu turned his head and looked behind him, but he couldn't find the person who shot the arrow from behind.

That person hid quickly!

General Lu turned back and asked General Wang: "Have your soldiers surround this place a little more, so that I won't be shot by arrows again."

General Wang naturally also saw that the arrow belonged to Ji State. He was watching the fun from the side and almost laughed out loud.

The country of Ji is really amazing. It produced a general who betrayed the country, and then a soldier who stabbed the general in the back.

He was almost laughing so hard that his stomach hurt.

"Row."

General Wang waved his hand, signaling, and then asked, "You don't even want to pretend now?"

General Lu sneered: "Even if those soldiers knew, what would happen? They still have to work under me to make a living."

"If he dares to report me, it depends on whether his letter can be spread!"

General Wang applauded: "I really admire you, General Lu. You are bold but careful."

He was brave and not afraid of the soldiers informing on him.

Be careful and let his soldiers block it.

General Lu ignored General Wang's words. After looking at the soldiers surrounding him tightly, he took out a thick envelope from his chest and handed it to General Wang.

"Here are the border town defenses you requested, as well as the shift changes and numbers of soldiers in the barracks."

General Wang smiled immediately and reached out to take it: "General Lu is really straightforward. It's worry-free to do business with you."

General Lu withdrew his hand after handing over the letter.

General Wang paused, "General Lu, what do you mean by this?"

General Lu uttered two words coldly: "Exchange."

General Wang paused for a few seconds, then suddenly laughed, "General Lu, if you hadn't told me, I would have really forgotten about it."

He picked up a bag from his waist as if nothing had happened.

General Wang even unfolded the bundle, revealing a conspicuous imperial edict.

"This is the decree of conferring nobility written by His Majesty himself. As long as you help us conquer Ji State, you can get everything you want!"

General Lu's expression softened a little, but he still said cautiously: "Open the imperial edict and show me its contents."

After hearing this, General Wang just curled his lips and unfolded the imperial edict in front of General Lu, "Did you see it clearly?"

General Lu read it carefully and finally felt relieved.

Afterwards, in order to appease General Wang, General Lu took out one of the letters and showed it to General Wang, which made General Wang's expression improve.

Both parties exchanged things at the same time and stuffed them into their bodies at the same time.

Xu Guangzhu was lying on the ground, not knowing whether he was dead or alive, and bright red blood was slowly spreading.

Next, General Lu and General Wang began to fight in a perfunctory manner. They would swing their sword lightly, and the other person would block it effortlessly. Then the other person would take the first move, and the cycle would repeat over and over again.

The soldiers on the battlefield fought desperately for their country and to return home alive.

They had no idea that the two generals in the center of the battlefield were fighting playfully.

General Lu could vaguely catch a glimpse of those foolish soldiers who were actually fighting through the gaps where the enemy was blocking their way.

He couldn't help but raise the corner of his mouth in a mocking manner. Those soldiers were really stupid.

General Lu was smart and seized the opportunity when General Wang extended the olive branch.

What's the point of fighting on the battlefield? He wants to survive and enjoy wealth and glory!

If he doesn't reach an agreement with General Wang, he will have to spend the rest of his life on the battlefield.

Who made their country value civil affairs over military affairs? They couldn't even pick out a few useful generals.

Moreover, His Majesty had ruthlessly taken back Marquis Jingyang's tiger talisman and even left Marquis Jingyang to fend for himself, so the other generals were still frightened.

Marquis Jingyang had followed His Majesty in battle before, but he ended up paralyzed in bed in such a cowardly way. His Majesty didn't even send an imperial physician to see him, which really broke the hearts of the other generals.

Your Majesty even implicated the eldest son of Marquis Jingyang and prevented him from leaving the capital.

Such a country will be destroyed by other countries sooner or later, so it is better for him to take action first!

General Lu paused for a moment, looked down at Xu Guangzhu, thought for a moment, and reached out to feel the pulse on his neck.
