Sang Ge raised his wine glass to Lu Yunrui." Mister Lu, you showed off your prowess in the Sangluo Canyon. You fought against a hundred bandits alone and defeated them." However, he was benevolent and unwilling to kill those who gave up on resisting. He kept his promise and let the rest escape. Such breadth of mind and boldness was truly admirable!”
"Thank you for your praise, but I don't deserve it!" Lu Yunrui said with a smile. If one were to really talk about bravery, Parker would be the first!”
Parker waved his hands frantically when he heard that. He couldn't! You guys are really fierce! I was surrounded by more than ten people, and it was difficult for me to break through the encirclement in a hurry. However, your two guards easily took care of them with a single hand. I've only killed two, but they've already taken down six or seven each. With a wave of the halberd, that person fell down in groups. Compared to you guys, I'm just a vegetable sprout. It's so embarrassing!"
When everyone heard this, they could not help but laugh out loud.
"I wasn't mocking you when I said you're fierce. I was just speaking the truth."”
Everyone stopped laughing and listened to Lu Yunrui's explanation.
Lu Yunrui continued," At that time, we were blocked by the mountain path, so we couldn't see what was going on inside. You were the first to rush in." Moreover, when we went in, you were already fighting with more than ten people. Was it like this at that time?"
"Not bad!" Parker nodded.
"Then do you remember the situation when we fought?”Lu Yunrui asked.
"I remember!" " None of them are my match in a one-on-one fight," Parker said." Even if three or four of them were to attack me together, they might not be able to defeat me. However, those people were extremely shameless and actually attacked together. Wherever I attacked, there were several people defending at the same time, while others attacked me. I was surrounded for a moment and couldn't escape.”
"Then, what about after my two guards join?”Lu Yunrui asked again.
Parker grinned." Your guards are fierce. They took care of those guys in no time."”
"Is there any difference between their attacks and yours?" Lu Yunrui laughed.”
Parker opened his mouth to speak, but the words froze at the tip of his tongue, unable to come out.
Lu Yunrui chuckled. Their attacks are not much different from yours. The only difference is that your attacks are blocked, but no one can block their attacks. To put it more clearly, the weapons they used were much stronger than the ones you used. The other party's interception was useless. Am I right?"
Parker thought for a moment and nodded." That seems to be the case. My weapon could be blocked, but your guard's weapon was like a rotten wooden stick. With a light slash, the other party was knocked down along with his weapon.”
"That's why I said you're the fiercest!" "To be honest, we won this battle entirely because of our weapons. I didn't expect it at first," said Lu Yunrui with a smile. The attack of the two guards was originally to free you from the battle formation so that everyone could retreat together. It was the two guards 'performance that made me change my mind. Therefore, you should take the lead in this battle."
Parker scratched the back of his head." I didn't do anything. How did I get the credit?"”
When everyone heard this, they could not help but laugh.
The banquet lasted until very late before it ended. Lu Yunrui and the others were arranged to rest.
The next day, Lu Yunrui was summoned by the Dwarf King again. The two sides reached an agreement on cooperation. Lu Yunrui also gave the Dwarf King some weapons and armor blueprints that he had already prepared.
In the next few days, Lu Yunrui inspected the dwarfs 'smelting workshop and exchanged experience with the craftsmen on how to increase the furnace temperature and smelt metal. This improved the craftsmen's smelting skills to varying degrees. However, with the current technical conditions of the dwarven craftsmen, it was still impossible to smelt the alloy materials needed for the spaceship. Lu Yunrui couldn't help but feel a little regretful.
After resting for a few days, the Qin City caravan was ready to set off again. Lu Yunrui saw that he had basically achieved his goal of coming to the Dwarf Race this time. He, Li Qiang, and Luca went to see Sang Ge and bid farewell. They were prepared to turn to Xia Country and pick up Du Tong's family before going to Qin together.
Sang Ge didn't stop him, but earnestly told Lu Yunrui to visit the dwarves often. Before they left, he gave Lu Yunrui about ten sets and the Silverstar Mercenary Group about twenty sets of the latest composite armor.
The Silver Star Mercenary Group left the heavily injured with the dwarfs and escorted the caravan out of the dwarfs 'encampment. More than 30 dwarves joined the mercenary team.
Lu Yunrui brought along a dozen elves and followed the team.
Since they were about to enter China, the elves had prepared a large cloak for each of them, so that they could wrap themselves up tightly at any time.
After leaving the dwarfs 'encampment, Luca asked Lu Yunrui to take command while he personally led a few people to open up a path in front and pay attention to the movements around the road.
When they passed by the battlefield a few days ago, the caravan made a short stop to pay their respects to the dead before continuing on their way.
That afternoon, the caravan arrived at Peng City, which was 30 miles away from the Mulberry Valley.
This place was originally like Qin City, a border town of Xia Country. However, due to China's long-term friendship with the dwarves, this city gradually developed into a large city centered on trade. The streets in the city were wide, and there were all kinds of shops and restaurants on both sides of the road.
Li Qiang and the others obviously frequented the city and were very familiar with the soldiers guarding the city gate. The caravan did not stop at the city gate for long before they were allowed to enter the city. Of course, the entrance fee was still necessary.
Lu Yunrui and the others were mixed in with the caravan and entered the city with the main group. When they entered the city, Lu Yunrui looked up and saw many heads hanging on the city wall.
The caravan moved along the street and stopped in front of a restaurant.
A few people who looked like waiters came out from inside. When they saw Li Qiang and the others, they immediately beamed.
"Third Shopkeeper, you're finally back. We've been waiting for you for several days!”said one of the workers.
Li Qiang smiled and said,"Thank you for your trouble!" Hurry up and lead everyone to rest. We're all tired after walking for a day!”
The waiters immediately responded and led everyone around the restaurant into a wide courtyard at the back.
In the middle of the courtyard, a person who looked like a steward was waiting with a group of people. Seeing the caravan enter the courtyard, the group of people immediately went forward and took the carriages and horses from the guards. They drove the carriages to the center of the courtyard and stopped. They unloaded the horses and led them to the stable to feed them. Someone unloaded the supplies from the car and moved them into the room. There were also some people who led the people in the caravan and assigned them to different rooms to rest.
The manager walked in front of Li Qiang and said,""Third Shopkeeper, didn't you all arrive five days ago? Why are you only here now? You made us all so worried, afraid that something would happen to you!”
Li Qiang smiled and introduced them to Lu Yunrui,""This is our foothold here and the only branch of the Li family outside of Qin. This was the shopkeeper here, Boss Qian Yusen. Boss Qian has always taken care of the business here for us.”
"This is Mr. Lu Yunrui," he said to Boss Qian.”
Boss Qian saw that Li Qiang didn't introduce much, so he didn't ask much.
At this moment, Little White leisurely walked over. It stretched out its horned face and gently rubbed Lu Yunrui's body.
Lu Yunrui turned around and patted Xiao Bai.""Alright, Xiao Bai, go to the side and play with Nan Nan.”
Little White snorted, wagged its tail, and left.
Seeing that the elves were still standing behind him in their cloaks, Lu Yunrui smiled and said,""All of you should go rest too. You don't have to follow me all the time!”
Upon hearing this, the elves bowed to Lu Yunrui and left with the waiter waiting at the side. There was only one elf who stayed where she was. Judging from her figure, Lu Yunrui knew that it was Alice.
"Alice, why don't you go rest? Aren't you tired?" Lu Yunrui asked.
"I'm not tired. I want to accompany you for a while.”Alice's voice came through the cloak.
Lu Yunrui frowned." There are so many people accompanying me. Don't join in the fun." I should go back to my room to rest. I'm quite tired after walking for a day. Besides, it was boring to keep wearing a cloak!”
Alice stood quietly for a moment, then stomped her foot and turned to leave.
When he turned around, he saw Boss Qian looking at him with his mouth wide open. Li Qiang and Luca's eyes were also a little ambiguous.
Lu Yunrui was a little unhappy and asked,""What's wrong?"
Li Qiang and Luca quickly chuckled and said,""Nothing! Not much!"
Boss Qian raised his trembling right hand and pointed at Lu Yunrui.""You…are…the Chosen One?"
Just as Lu Yunrui was about to speak, Li Qiang hurriedly said,"This is not a place to talk. Let's talk inside!”
The few of them went to the living room and sat down. A servant brought them tea.
"Boss Qian, have there been any movements in the city these few days?" Lu Yunrui asked. I saw many heads hanging on the city wall in front of the city gate. What's going on?”
"Nothing happened in the city these few days," said Boss Qian. However, five days ago in the afternoon, the Divine Wind Troop stationed in the city suddenly moved out and headed towards the Mulberry Valley. They didn't return until noon the next day. The heads hanging on the city walls were also brought back at that time. It was said that there was a group of bandits active in the canyon. When the Divine Wind Legion received the news, they went to suppress them. It was said that the bandits were very powerful. The Divine Wind Troop fought fiercely with them for an entire night and only defeated them after nearly four hundred people died. Moreover, it was said that even General Du Tong had fallen into the formation and it was unknown whether he was dead or alive.”
Lu Yunrui and the others looked at each other but did not say anything.
"Did something happen?" Boss Qian asked. I saw that there were many dwarves in the caravan, but I didn't see many of those who came with me.”
Li Qiang nodded." Yes, something happened to the caravan!" It happened five days ago in the morning!"
Boss Qian was shocked when he heard that. Could it be that you encountered a bandit group?"
Li Qiang nodded and shook his head." Yes, we encountered a bandit attack." But they are not real bandits!"
"Not real criminals?" Boss Qian asked in surprise.”
Li Qiang said," That's right. Their real identity is a soldier. The one leading them is Du Tong!"”
Boss Qian was shocked. Soldiers pretending to be bandits?"
"That's right, that Du Tong has already admitted it personally!"”
Boss Qian sized up Li Qiang and Luca.""Why are you guys fine? I heard that those people never leave anyone alive!”
Luca rolled his eyes.”
"I didn't mean that." Boss Qian hurriedly waved his hand. It was just a little strange. Could it be that the rumors outside were all false?”
" The rumors are not false," said Li Qiang." It's just that we were lucky enough to meet Mr. Lu who happened to pass by and saved us."”
When Boss Qian heard this, he quickly bowed to Lu Yunrui and said,""Thank you, Mister Lu, for saving our Third Master!”
Lu Yunrui waved her hand." I just happened to be here. It's not worth your thanks!"”
"What else happened in the city and outside the city these few days?"”
"Strange?" Boss Qian was a little puzzled.
"Not bad!" "There are many heads hanging in the city," Lu Yunrui said."Those heads won't be obtained out of thin air." However, the members of the Divine Wind Troop had never encountered any bandits. Where did they get those heads?”
