Spare Me, Great Lord! - Chapter 1300

Chapter 1300: Flood that Destroyed Buildings

The Long Yin River’s currents were extremely rapid and merciless. Indeed, the water would not change because of someone, it would submerge anything that it could.

The masters of the wealthy families could only see the river submerge the businesses they had been working on for thousands of years.

In the past, the people were envious of the wealthy families’ residences. The ordinary villagers could only squeeze together in a small house while the wealthy families owned the biggest mansions with the best view in the palace. The interaction between the servants in the house was even more than those on the roads outside.

Moreover, the backyard of the wealthy families was like utopia in the chaotic city.

However, nothing was left. Every building was destroyed.

What could the masters of the wealthy families do? Of course, they would go to war.

However, at this moment, they suddenly saw Lu Shu riding with the waves and heading towards a strange direction. Initially, everyone was wondering what Lu Shu was doing. Then, someone suddenly said, “Isn’t that the direction to the Sword Hut?”

They looked up and saw a cloud sword gathering in the sky. It was similar to the sword that killed Duanmu Huangqi…

There were no other enemies in the palace. The senior disciple of the Sword Hut was clearly planning to cut Lu Shu…

Then, Lu Shu shouted sadly, “Blame me for my negligence, I didn’t expect the flood to destroy the buildings!”

Lu Shu was the only one who headed to the Sword Hut. Li Heitan stood on the walls in the inner city and looked at the flood. He said suddenly, “Why does Great Lord sound so insincere?”

Lu Xiaoyu shot him a glance. “Heitan, you are observant.”

The others did not follow Lu Shu. On one hand, they knew that Lu Shu had no difficulty heading over by himself. The Imperial Dragon Soldiers had a rather good relationship with the Sword Hut. Although the Great Lord did something rather inhumane, it did not involve lives.

On the other hand, there was a restriction in the palace so they could not fly across the moat.

In fact, when Lu Shu and Lu Xiaoyu decided to treat that location as the battlefield, they also had the idea of using a restriction.

Lu Shu went past the flooded palace and reached the door of the Sword Hut. Without warning, he went into the clouds. After Lu Shu reached the Sword Hut, he took a glance at the cloud swords in the sky before looking at the disciples of the Sword Hut who were drenched and standing on the rooftop of the hut…

Gu Lingfei’s clothes were not wet but the black leopard beneath her feet was submerged in the water. Both of them looked at Lu Shu coldly.

However, this was nothing. Even though the water was about to submerge the rooftop, the disciples of the Sword Hut had nowhere to hide.

The most awkward thing was the fact that the palace had a restricted airspace. Yet, the Sword Hut was inside the palace. For normal cases, the disciples of the Sword Hut would not worry about the flood. However, it was a different case now, they could not fly…

Gu Lingfei stared at Lu Shu, “Do you know what you are doing?”

Lu Shu pretended to be stupid. “I said I did it accidentally!”

“Hurry up and block the waters, or I will ask my senior to destroy the inner city. Both of us shall suffer together!” Gu Lingfei was angry.

Lu Shu looked at the increasing distress points in his records. When Gu Lingfei spoke, he greeted some of the seniors he knew. They had bought sword spirits from Lu Shu before and therefore had a good relationship with him.

Lu Shu comforted Gu Lingfei, “Look, everyone is a family. Can we talk this over nicely?”

Gu Lingfei sneered. “Family? Then what should we do?”

“Look, both of us come to a compromise,” said Lu Shu after thinking about it, “I won’t flood the city and you shall not destroy my city! How’s that?”

Gu Lingfei was stunned. She thought that something was wrong!

“Fom Gu Lingfei’s distress, +748!”

“Go and die!” Gu Lingfei was extremely furious. “Do you know that the library of my Sword Hut is still submerged in the water? The records inside the library are extremely precious. If they are destroyed, I will hunt you down and kill you!”

Lu Shu’s eyes lit up when he heard this. “Oh, so you are referring to this. Hahaha, let me tell you something. Don’t be surprised, but the books in the library are with me…”

Gu Lingfei was dumbstruck.

“From Gu Lingfei’s distress, +999!”

Lu Shu suddenly realized that after he said that, Gu Lingfei seemed to grow even angrier.

As he was thinking about that, Lu Shu suddenly dodged and Gu Lingfei’s gigantic wave of sword energy exploded in the waters. Although it missed Lu Shu, the disciples of the Sword Hut nearly fell into the waters again.

Gu Lingfei said coldly, “I knew that something was amiss. How would you leave empty-handed from the library? Do you know what price you have to pay for stealing the records of the Sword Hut?”

“How can you say that I stole the books?” Lu Shu was unhappy. “I am helping you by taking care of the books. If I didn’t do that, won’t the books be destroyed by the flood?”

Gu Lingfei thought about it. Oh, that seemed correct.

However, she immediately found the problem with that logic. “But didn’t you bring in the flood anyway?”

“Hahahaha really?” Lu Shu changed the topic immediately. “Look, should we move the people to somewhere else, can you hold people in the rear mountain?”

Gu Lingfei stared at Lu Shu. “The rear mountain is a restricted place. Even disciples of the Sword Hut are not allowed to go.”

“That’s fantastic,” smiled Lu Shu, “Look here, my inner city is quite big, all of you can stay there for a period of time…”

Gu Lingfei was so angry that she laughed. “So, this is your idea?”

“No no no.” Lu Shu would not take that blame. “It’s Lu Xiaoyu’s…”

When he said “Lu Xiaoyu”, Gu Lingfei was evidently stunned. From her expression, Lu Shu confirmed that Jiang Shuyi had most certainly told the truth to the Chief Manager of the Sword Hut.

Meanwhile, Zhang Weiyu was still worried as he looked towards the Sword Hut. “Will Great Lord be alright?”

“Of course.” Lu Xiaoyu said without any worries, “Or else, why would I rebuild the inner city with such huge dimensions?”

According to the dimensions of the inner city that Lu Xiaoyu had rebuilt, the Imperial Dragon Soldiers looked extremely small in numbers when they occupied the fortress. Therefore, a 5000-man troop only needed a fortress but why did Lu Xiaoyu insist on building a city?

That was because she knew that the Imperial Dragon Soldiers were not the only ones who would fight alongside them in the city…

Zhang Weiyu and the rest took a deep breath. They suddenly realized that Lu Xiaoyu was the most cunning person. However, something was amiss. Zhang Weiyu looked back at the city and asked curiously, “I don’t think you are only waiting for the people of the Sword Hut…”
