Chapter 405 Why don't you make a sound?
Achoo!
Inside the carriage, Lu Yi suddenly sneezed loudly, startling Hu Lao Jiu, who was lying down fully clothed opposite him, into sitting up abruptly.
"what happened?"
Hu Laojiu shouted sternly, but saw Zhou Shuyi across from him taking out a handkerchief and handing it to Lu Yi.
"Xiao Yi sneezed, you should go back to sleep." As she spoke, Zhou Shuyi covered Lu Yi's legs with the blanket next to her. "You must have caught a cold. I'll find you some clothes to wear."
Lu Yi frowned as he looked at the handkerchief.
Are you feeling cold?
It's impossible!
In order to escape, the three of them took the "power pills" given to them by their second sister to maintain their strength and spirit over the past few days.
This stuff can not only heal wounds, but also sweep away evil spirits from the body.
Lu Yi still has the effects of the medicine in his body. Even if you gave him a bottle of poison, he could eat it like a meal. How could he possibly catch a cold for no reason?
What's even stranger is that Lu Yi searched his mind for all the sneezing he'd ever had since childhood, and almost every time it started with an itchy nose, and he could only manage to sneeze when he couldn't stand it anymore.
But what happened just now came without any warning, leaving him no time to react.
The strangest thing is that after I sneezed, there were no follow-up problems.
The sneeze came out of nowhere and went away cleanly, leaving no clue as to its cause.
"Maybe something got into his nose."
Lu Yi said softly, then reached out and lifted the curtain of the carriage.
Where are we?
"We're about to enter Yunzhou territory."
Outside the carriage, a handsome young man dressed in black robes responded.
“General Shen Yue of Pingzhou is the Third Prince’s fiancée. We definitely can’t go there. We have to detour through Yunzhou to get to the capital.”
Lu Yi looked at the young man in silence, and only spoke again after a few breaths.
There are some things I just can't understand.
"Speak!" The young man pulled on the reins and leaned closer. "Since you've chosen to ride in this carriage, we're now on the same side. As long as it's something I can talk about, I'll tell you everything I know."
"Thank you." Lu Yi nodded slightly. "I want to ask you, why did you arrest me?"
“My second sister has already died in battle, so you no longer need me as a hostage to threaten her.”
“I have already made it clear that those three black panthers were summoned by my second sister, and they obey me because of my second sister’s instructions.”
"In order to capture me, you surrounded and killed all three black panthers, and I lost the ability to control them."
"If that's the case, why did you go to all that trouble to bring me to Wudu?"
"I am no longer of any use to you."
The young man looked at Lu Yi and laughed heartily.
"Lu Yi, I really don't understand what you people are thinking."
"Serving His Highness is an opportunity that many people would kill for, so why is it more painful for you than to be killed?"
"Everyone has their own ambitions," Lu Yi said calmly.
The young man chuckled upon hearing this: "Your temper is just like that of Guan Shanyue, that old pedantic scholar."
Upon hearing the name Guan Shanyue, all three people in the car looked at the young man.
The young man glanced at the horse and gently urged it forward.
“I know you have a close relationship with Guan Shanyue, but Wudu is very large, and you will never be able to see him.”
"Moreover, he is the Third Prince's man, so I advise you to have less contact with him in the future."
"There can only be one Martial Emperor in the future. Whoever ascends to the throne, the people of the other two factions will be completely purged."
"If you get too close to someone, you'll feel guilty if you have to take action against them later."
Lu Yi didn't respond to this, but instead brought the topic back to the previous question: "You still haven't answered my question, why did you bring us into Wudu?"
"Because we cherish talent."
The young man sighed.
“We have planted many people in Qingzhou Prefecture, and they have reported all your affairs to the Second Prince.”
"You have a strong will and meticulous thinking; you are a rare and exceptional talent."
At this point, the young man turned to look at Lu Yi.
"Honestly, it's a real shame about your Lu family."
"Your second sister, Lu You, is incredibly resourceful. She can single-handedly disrupt a battlefield of 200,000 men and throw off the Jin army's formation."
"Your elder brother, Lu Ming, disguised himself and infiltrated the enemy camp, burning all of the Jin soldiers' food and supplies, which almost forced the Jin soldiers to attack the city immediately, changing the course of the entire battle."
"If they were alive, the world would have another immortal family with the surname Lu."
"With their achievements, as long as the Wu Kingdom still exists, your Lu family can rest easy and enjoy endless wealth and honor."
“But they are already dead.” Lu Yi interrupted the young man coldly, “Even if they made unparalleled contributions, I, as their younger brother, am still imprisoned in this carriage by you?”
The young man was not angry upon hearing this; he simply reached out and gently tapped on the carriage window frame.
"Lu Yi, you need to understand the difference between imprisonment and pleading."
“The prisoners were transported in prison carts, or even dragged along by horses.”
"You are talented, and the Second Prince wants to recruit you, which is why he is treating you with such courtesy."
"But if you continue to be so arrogant, we are not without ways to deal with you."
As he spoke, the young man turned his gaze to Hu Laojiu and Zhou Shuyi.
"His Highness only said to bring you back alive, but he didn't say he would bring them back."
"As your future colleague, I'd like to offer you a few words of advice today."
"His Highness values your talent and treats you with courtesy. You should repay his kindness by doing your best to handle things well. Don't try to be a scholar with any of that 'literary integrity' nonsense."
"If we really lose this bit of affection, it will be too late to regret it later."
After speaking, the young man ignored Lu Yi, spurred his horse forward with a powerful spur.
Lu Yi turned to look at the back of the carriage; the setting sun was like blood…
A stone tablet, taller than a person, came into view by the roadside.
Yunzhou Prefecture, Shangqi County.
"They're entering the cloud boat! Release the whistle!"
A low shout rang out, and several falcons were released and soared into the sky.
Lu Yi slowly lowered the curtains and leaned back on the cushions.
"Xiao Yi, do we really want to join the Second Prince's forces?"
Zhou Shuyi looked at Lu Yi with some concern and asked.
Lu Yi nodded slightly: "There are at least nearly a hundred martial artists disguised as a merchant caravan escorting us all around. We can't escape."
Upon hearing Lu Yi's words, both Zhou Shuyi and Hu Laojiu sighed helplessly.
Seeing the two of them looking downcast, Lu Yi spoke softly.
"Don't rush, wait a little longer, things might still turn around."
"What are you waiting for?" Zhou Shuyi looked up at Lu Yi: "Have you already thought of a solution?"
Lu Yi smiled: "I told you, don't rush, wait for Achoo!!"
Zhou Shuyi was listening attentively to Lu Yi when the sudden loud sneeze startled her.
"Look at you, you're sneezing again."
Zhou Shuyi stuffed a handkerchief into Lu Yi's hand and said with concern.
"The nights get cool after autumn arrives. You've always been frail, so let me ask you for an extra blanket to cover yourself with."
At the same time, on the official road of Yanzhou Prefecture, an extremely stifled shout suddenly rang out.
"what……"
Just now, Lu You spent another 10,000 points to activate the skill Echo, but nothing happened.
Seeing the points balance on the system panel now starting with a 3, Lu You couldn't help but grab her hair tightly.
You damn system!
I've already said it twice, so why don't you just ring it out?!
