Traveling through the Immortal Realm: Starting from Becoming a Top-Level Furnace Cauldron

"Li Mou sent a light cavalry unit to raid our western camp!"

"what?!"

Wang Jian stood up suddenly, the smile on his face instantly replaced by a solemn expression. "What are the losses? Where are the Li Mu people?"

"The West Camp suffered little loss and has been repelled," the messenger quickly reported, "but that light cavalry was extremely swift, striking and fleeing without engaging."

"Li Mou...is nowhere to be seen."

Wang Jian frowned and looked back at the sand table: "A feint to the east and attack in the west? Li Mou, this guy, is a trapped beast, but he still fights. What else does he want to do..."

The atmosphere in the tent suddenly became solemn.

He Yajun frowned slightly and said thoughtfully, "Li Mou's tactics are cunning and we must be on guard."

"What Yajun said is absolutely right."

Wang Jian nodded and immediately summoned generals at all levels to issue orders.

Lu Yuguan was a little confused by the sudden military intelligence and stood there, not knowing whether to leave or stay.

【Host】

This is an opportunity!

"Chance?"

"What opportunity? A chance to escape during the chaos?" Lu Yuguan responded in his mind, secretly observing the situation inside the tent.

The generals were all concentrating on listening to orders, and no one paid attention to him, the little cook.

He Yajun seemed to have eyes behind his head. He suddenly turned his head and said to Lu Yuguan gently, "There is nothing for you to do here. Go back to the kitchen first."

"There may be unrest in the camp these days. Don't move around without permission."

"Yes Yes Yes!"

"I understand. I'll take my leave now."

Lu Yuguan felt as if he had been pardoned. He quickly bent down and lowered his head, and carefully left the main tent.

He breathed a sigh of relief when a cold wind blew outside the tent.

The solemn atmosphere just now was really a bit scary.

When he returned to the kitchen, the old cook saw him and came over to ask quietly, "How is it? Did the general and that important person give you any trouble?"

"No, I just asked a few questions."

Lu Yu answered absentmindedly, still thinking about what had just happened.

"That's good."

The old cook breathed a sigh of relief and lowered his voice, "Did you hear? The Zhao army touched the West Camp!"

"The people of Zhao are truly audacious. They dare to come out even though they are surrounded like this!"

Lu Yuguan nodded: "I just heard about it in the main account."

"Ugh--"

“I don’t know how long this battle will end.”

The old cook sighed, "The weather is getting colder and colder, and our lives are getting harder."

"You are lucky, kid. You are appreciated by the general. You will definitely not have to suffer in the barracks in the future."

Lu Yuguan laughed dryly twice and didn't respond.

He was in a mess.

【Host】

The Zhao army is active, and Li Mou might counterattack. This is the general trend.

The system rarely gives prompts.

"Li Mou?"

Lu Yuguan's heart moved, "The Zhao general who guarded Hancheng?"

"Tong-chan, are you saying that the mission might be related to this guy?"

I can’t say for sure.

[After all, you stayed in Qinying for so long without any prompts]

[It seems the mission clue is in Zhaoying]

Lu Yuguan chewed on a piece of straw and muttered vaguely, "I guess so. There's been no news for so long, which means I was on the wrong side from the beginning."

The next two days.

The atmosphere in the military camp became noticeably more tense.

Patrols increased and sentries became more vigilant.

Occasionally, the sound of war drums could be heard from the direction of Hancheng in the distance, and the Qin army's offensive seemed to have intensified.

Lu Yuguan still cooked for Wang Jian every day, adding different ingredients to the meal.

Wang Jian accepted all of them.

He Yajun would occasionally appear in the tent and ask him some irrelevant questions, making him rack his brains to make up stories for fear of being exposed.

【Host】

【You don’t ride it】

The system complained.

"There's nothing, I can only make it up on the spot!"

Lu Yuguan roared inwardly, "This old man's questions make my scalp tingle. He must be suspicious of something!"

【If it really doesn't work, just recruit】

Let's go to the mass grave again and see if we can be picked up by the Zhao army.

The system encouraged.

Lu Yuguan: "...Am I a ball? I'm kicked around."

【puff--】

"What are you laughing at?"

【Suddenly remembered】

【Three men are jealous of you】

[You are stuck in the middle, aren't you just like a ball? ]

Lu Yuguan rolled his eyes.

But when talking about those three people, he still counted on his fingers:

"Old Chencu and Wuwa are still in Xuanyu Sect."

"Eh?"

"It seems there has been no news about Zhao Da Diao?"

【…】

[Stop, stop, stop? Baozi]

[When did you get this nickname? How come I don’t know about it? ]

The system couldn't help but ask.

Lu Yuguan: "Don't worry about the details, just tell me whether it matches or not."

【…】

Don't say it.

That makes sense.

the next day.

Before the temperature dropped completely, the old cook took them outside the military camp to pick out vegetables.

"Remember, don't run too far. If you run into people from Zhao, come back and report immediately." The old cook reminded.

"understood."

Several people scattered.

Lu Yuguan was digging wild vegetables slowly.

I was thinking in my mind, can I find some plants that are similar to anesthetics or laxatives to give Wang Jian a big blow.

Just when he was carrying the load with great enthusiasm, he heard heavy footsteps behind him.

"Boy."

"What are you looking for?"

When Lu Yuguan looked back, his heart suddenly tightened.

The person who came was Li Daniu.

The centurion who had brought him from the cage to the kitchen.

Li Daniu had a lewd smile on his face, and his eyes were wandering over him.

"Centurion, I'm looking for some wild vegetables for seasoning for the general." Lu Yuguan stood up and took a half step back.

"Oh?"

"I heard the general likes what you make very much."

Li Daniu took a step closer, his gaze becoming more explicit. "I'm also very curious. What's so special about a delicate boy like you..."

Lu Yu'an's heart was filled with alarm. "Centurion, you're joking. I can only do some rough work..."

"Rough work?"

Li Daniu suddenly stretched out his hand and grabbed Lu Yuguan's wrist with frightening strength, "This doesn't look like rough labor."

"When I saw you that day, I felt itchy..."

"If the general appreciates you, shouldn't I spare your life? Today, I will taste your kindness!"

As he said that, he roughly dragged Lu Yuguan into the bushes!

"what are you doing?"

"let me go!"

Lu Yuguan was shocked and angry, and struggled desperately.

But he had lost all his skills, so how could he compare to this centurion who came from the military in terms of strength?

"Humph!"

"Be quiet, or you'll suffer!"

Li Daniu's face was ferocious, and he was about to cover Lu Yuguan's mouth with his other hand.

Lu Yuguan felt a chill in his heart.

Right now!

"Whoosh-"

A sharp sound of breaking through the air rang out!

Li Daniu screamed and suddenly let go of Lu Yuguan's hand!

There was a feather arrow stuck in his arm, and the tail of the arrow was still trembling slightly!

"who?!!"

Li Daniu was shocked and angry, covering his arm and looking around.

Lu Yuguan also looked at it in astonishment.

On the slope not far away, a young general wearing leather armor of the Zhao army was standing there. He looked to be no more than eighteen or nineteen years old, with handsome features, but with the sharpness and experience of being honed on the battlefield.

He held a longbow with the bowstring still buzzing, his eyes as cold as ice as he stared at Li Daniu.

"Qin dog!"

"How dare you bully the weak?"
