Chapter 691 Little Fanboy

When Lu Ping returned to White Tiger Village, it had already returned to its former tranquility.

Linghu Zhishu and his three thousand wolf fangs have already left.

After receiving logistical support from Lu Zhi at Baihu Village, they disappeared silently from everyone's sight.

Tiger Roar Plain covers an area of ​​a hundred miles, which may not seem like much, but if thousands of people were thrown into it, it would still be like a drop of water merging into the ocean.

Lu Zhi was talking to a young man, but judging from his appearance, he was extremely humble.

Even when facing Linghu Ye, Lu Zhi remained neither humble nor arrogant, but in front of this young man, his elder brother was truly humble.

This surprised Lu Ping.

My older brother is still quite proud and arrogant.

"Second brother, come and pay your respects to Protector Li!" Lu Zhi's order made Lu Ping's mind go blank, almost knocking him unconscious.

Li Duhu?
How many Protector-General Lis are there in this world?
There is only one Protector-General Li who can be remembered and who can make the elder brother so considerate: Li Dachui of the Beiting Protectorate.

This is my idol!
Lu Ping was somewhat excited, his face flushed, and he took a few steps to look Li Dachui up and down: "You, you are really Protector Li?"

Looking at his brother's appearance, Lu Zhi felt somewhat ashamed.

"Second brother, how can you be so rude?"

Before he finished speaking, Lu Ping bowed deeply: "Governor Li, Lu Ping greets you. Governor Li is the person I admire most, no, no, I worship the most. I never expected to meet you today, it is a long-cherished wish fulfilled. Please accept my bow!"

Seeing Lu Ping's flushed face and somewhat flustered appearance, Li Dachui couldn't help but laugh and said to Lu Zhi, "Your younger brother is quite a remarkable person!"

"Li Duhu is a master strategist who drove out Linghu and destroyed the Northern Yuan. I recently heard my father mention your capture of the Southern Chu Empress Dowager. My second brother admires you immensely and says that a true man should live like this!" Lu Zhi laughed and said, "He even said that he wanted to emulate Duhu and build an unparalleled career. He is truly overestimating himself."

This was one of his little fanboys. Li Dachui looked Lu Ping up and down. Compared to Lu Zhi's calmness and rationality, Li Dachui naturally preferred Lu Ping's passionate and enthusiastic nature.

"Let's have a good chat sometime!" Li Dachui said with a smile.

Lu Ping's eyes immediately lit up.

A strange glint flashed in Lu Zhi's eyes. Although he hadn't personally experienced Li Dachui's cunning, just seeing those influential figures fall one by one at his hands was enough to tell him how formidable the man was. His own younger brother was unaware of Li Dachui's true strength, and if he spent too much time with him, he might unknowingly fall into his trap.

The Lu family was only cooperating with Li Dachui, and they didn't want to be devoured by him.

On this point, Lu Ping must be given a good warning later, lest he be deceived by Li Dachui's appearance. This person seems amiable and makes people feel like they are bathed in a spring breeze when they are with him, and you can easily take him as a close friend without realizing it. But in reality, this person is a dragon in the clouds and a tiger on the mountain. In essence, dragons and tigers are both people-eaters.

The Lu family's cooperation with Li Dachui is essentially about maintaining their own existence and finding opportunities to strengthen themselves, not about using themselves as nourishment for Li Dachui.

"Cui Shu went up to Huxiao Plain and is now in Huju County!" Lu Ping finally remembered his biggest discovery on this trip.

He originally went to warn Cui Xin to prepare a trap for Linghu Zhishu to fall into, but he unexpectedly saw Cui Shu instead.

"That's why I came!" Li Dachui said.

"The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind!" Lu Zhi laughed. "Let them fight amongst themselves first, then we'll clean up the mess and take Tiger Roar Plain in one fell swoop!"

"With the Protector General here, these are no big deal!" Lu Ping just stared at Li Dachui: "Has the Protector General eaten yet? I still have a few jugs of fine wine in my stash. Would the Protector General do me the honor?"

"Fine food and wine have always been my favorites!" Li Dachui said with a smile.

Lu Zhi laughed from the side, "What good wine is that? You dare to serve it to Protector Li? It's a disgrace to the Lu family."

Lu Ping asked with delight, "Brother, are you preparing for a major financial hemorrhage?"

"What nonsense are you talking about! Protector Li is an honored guest, so I should be the one to entertain him. You'll keep him company, kid. You're lucky. Those few jars of ice dew that you've been eyeing will be yours to enjoy today, thanks to the Protector!" "Great, brother! I'll go tell the servants to prepare the dishes right away!" Lu Ping bowed to Li Dachui and ran off quickly.

"At this age, still so clumsy!"

"Your younger brother is young, passionate, and sincere; I like him!"

"Protector, please rest for a while. I still have some arrangements to make!" Lu Zhi said, cupping his hands in greeting.

"Okay, okay!" Li Dachui replied with a smile.

Watching Lu Zhi leave, the smile in Li Dachui's eyes deepened.

The wind and snow outside intensified.

The temperature in Tiger Roar Plain was actually lower than below.

It seems the battle on the other side of Yangguan is about to reach its climax.

The battle at Volcano Fortress should begin soon.

Unlike the stalemate at Yangguan, the battle at Volcano Fortress should be a blitzkrieg that can be decided in a very short time.

Given Duanmu Miaomiao's pace, she should have arrived at Volcano Fortress by now.

The door creaked open, and Gu Xiaoman pushed it open and walked in.

"Son!"

"Have all the people been arranged?" Li Dachui asked.

"All units have already entered the attack locations ahead of schedule. With the Lu family's cooperation, everything is going smoothly!" Li Xiaoman said. "Lu Zhi is also extremely ruthless. I just learned that he slaughtered all the more than one hundred people that Linghu Zhishu left behind!"

“These people are all from Langya, Linghu Zhishu’s trusted confidants and direct subordinates. They would never surrender. Lu Zhi is a decisive and ruthless man, a real character!” Recalling Lu Zhi’s performance just now, Li Dachui breathed a sigh of relief. This is a man who values ​​his family above all else, and he is also very talented. He is indeed a remarkable person.

However, Li Dachui preferred Lu Ping.

"Lu Zhi also sent over a hundred skilled men to guide Linghu Zhishu. I wonder if these men will slip up?" Gu Xiaoman asked.

Li Dachui smiled and said, "Do you think those hundred or so people would know about the connection between the Lu family and us?"

Lu Xiaoman was slightly surprised.

"In Lu Zhi's calculations, these hundred-odd people were already dead!" Li Dachui said calmly.

"If any of these hundred or so people are still alive, we could make contact with them!" Gu Xiaoman chuckled.

"Lu Zhi's younger brother, Lu Ping, is a kind-hearted person. You should try to get to know him better in the future. He's a friend worth having!"

"Okay!" Gu Xiaoman nodded.

“It’s been over a year since I’ve been back to Beiting. Take this opportunity to tell me about the current situation outside the Great Wall!” Li Dachui pointed to the stool in front of him and said, “Sit down and let’s talk!”

Gu Xiaoman chuckled. Although Li Dachui hadn't returned to Beiting for over a year, through the extensive networks of the two intelligence organizations, Zhi Qiu Yuan and Black Ice Platform, all information about Beiting had been delivered to Li Dachui accurately and quickly. How could he not know the specific situation outside the pass?

Actually, what you want to know is just the specific situation of a certain person!

Because those intelligence reports would definitely not involve anything about Xiao Changche personally.

“Young Master, during the days you were away, General Xiao’s mood hasn’t been very good!” Gu Xiaoman said with a worried look. “And recently, his mood has gotten even worse!”
