Free Web NovelChapter 1700: Chapter 1702: Truth and Lies
"Don’t trust him! This Lu Xiaobu is fake! Kill him!"
Lu Feicheng stood not far away, shouting hoarsely, covered in blood!
He fought his way out, lucky that he kept some people who pledged loyalty to him at the Lu Family instead of taking them all away.
Some of these people were among those surrounding them now.
Using this, he managed to escape successfully.
Coincidentally, as he was escaping, he saw Xue Lin, disguised as Lu Xiaobu, honing her acting skills!
He wasn’t foolish and immediately guessed the Lu Family’s plan.
So he risked his life to drive away his pursuers and came to deliver the news!
As long as this fake Lu Xiaobu is dead, the Lu Family would undoubtedly collapse!
By then, he would be the one who made great achievements!
Lu Kongshen, you bastard, you’ll learn what price you must pay!
But he didn’t know that as he howled, his previous pursuers were not far away!
And there was another person beside them, none other than Lu Kongshen himself!
"Family Head, why are you doing this?" the person asked Lu Kongshen in confusion.
"You can’t put all your eggs in one basket!" Lu Kongshen said meaningfully.
However, there was occasional pain flashing in his eyes.
Clearly, this decision wasn’t easy for him to make.
After all, this time, the Lu Family was almost completely wasted!
"But didn’t you say before that this move wouldn’t work on Lu Xiaobu?" The person was puzzled, wondering how things changed so many times in such a short while?
"Yes, it didn’t work!" Lu Kongshen sighed.
The person was even more bewildered. What was going on?!
Forget it, he decided not to ask anymore.
This Family Head, known as the smiling tiger among the ten big families, was regarded as an outstanding strategist. He couldn’t figure him out!
Lu Kongshen didn’t explain further.
Initially, he really didn’t plan to mess around; he just wanted to proceed steadily.
But then, that fool Lu Feicheng pulled this stunt on him, wanting to split the family!
Suddenly, he found himself in a hot seat.
If he didn’t act, he’d offend Lu Xiaobu.
But if he did, not only would it consume about 80% of the Lu Family’s internal strength in the struggle, but it would also offend the Amnesty Alliance!
If the Amnesty Alliance succeeded, his weakened Lu Family would be the first to be targeted!
Therefore, he had to make this painful decision!
Separate the eggs, but they are blood eggs!
Eggs stained with blood!
If the Amnesty Alliance succeeded, and Lu Feicheng survived, even if he killed himself, the Lu Family would still be there!
If Lu Feicheng failed, perhaps Lu Xiaobu wouldn’t blame him for opposing Lu Feicheng despite the internal conflict!
The Lu Family, as long as it existed, he could sacrifice anything, even himself!
This belief was what led him to betray the remaining families of the ten big families, just to push Lu Xiaobu and Lin Feng to agree to let the Lu Family stay.
This belief also led him to make today’s bloody decision!
Lu Feicheng, you’re still too naive!
If you truly succeed, remember to refine yourself more. Relying solely on blood and courage won’t protect the Lu Family!
...
While Lu Kongshen was separating blood-stained eggs over there, the battlefield had already changed dramatically due to Lu Feicheng’s words!
The head of the Ni Family’s eyes instantly lit up.
He had been speculating about this matter just now.
Now, indeed...
No, he needed to verify it!
He looked again at the Lu Family’s hundred thousand Iron Cavalry!
He saw it!
He saw some people’s panic, some people’s anger, and others preparing to sacrifice themselves!
Yes, yes, that’s right!
Everything fit together!
Although Liang Lan could notify everyone in advance, allowing the highly cohesive hundred thousand Iron Cavalry to temporarily hypnotize themselves into believing this fake one was real.
But some things are truly impossible to fake, such as the frenzy he didn’t see earlier!
Similarly, not everyone has such deep scheming.
Previously everything could continue smoothly if it followed the routine!
But once an unexpected situation arises, those without scheming immediately reveal their flaws!
Quan Rui and his people were still hesitating.
"Really or fake?!"
"Is this a fake Lu Xiaobu?! Who is that person speaking?!"
"Seems like someone from the Lu Family, called Lu Feicheng!"
"Can we believe his words?!"
"..."
Liang Lan’s hand was not just white at the knuckles now; her entire arm turned white!
She never expected someone like Cheng Yaojin to show up halfway!
She was so angry she wanted to kill someone!
But at this moment, she had to remain utterly calm!
No rash actions, absolutely no rash actions!
If she acted impulsively, it would trigger a wave of chaos. By then, not only would Xue Lin be in danger, but even the hundred thousand Iron Cavalry would be affected!
Now, she could only gamble, gamble that the other party didn’t dare to believe this guy’s words!
However.
"Liang Lan, stop pretending! It’s exhausting, right!"
The head of the Ni Family spoke, looking at Liang Lan with a slight smile, "I have to admit, your move is very clever. If no one came out, I might have believed it!"
Upon hearing this, Liang Lan’s face turned pale uncontrollably again, then she forced herself to stay calm and said, "Is that so? Then suit yourself! I can’t calm the Young Master’s fury!"
"Ridiculous! Ridiculous!" The Ni Family head scoffed repeatedly!
"Old Ni, what do you think? Is this truly fake?" Quan Rui quickly asked.
With Lu Kongshen not helping them anymore, the Ni Family head, who still had his wits about him, became their strategist!
"Yes, it’s fake," the Ni Family head asserted confidently.
"But if it’s fake, why is he still coming over? Is he not afraid of dying?" Fat Sun questioned in confusion, looking at the approaching shadow with hesitation.
"He’s a determined person!" The Ni Family head exclaimed, "He’s betting, Liang Lan is betting, betting that we’re more afraid! As long as we collapse before this person reaches us! Then they win!"
"Is it real or not?!" The Qian Family head almost bit his lips apart!
The Ni Family head was speaking with such conviction, but he didn’t dare stake his life and family’s future on it!
If the Ni Family head was wrong, and this person was really Lu Xiaobu, then not escaping would be courting death!
While speaking, Lu Feicheng quickly reached Quan Rui and others, "I saw it, this person is an impostor, practicing speech and behavior behind the mountain earlier!"
Listening to Lu Feicheng, they became even more certain that the person was a fake.
After all, Lu Feicheng looked like he had just come from a battle; did he fight his way here just to trick them?
This defector from the Lu Family had no motive at all!
So, the confidence of the Amnesty Alliance’s people gradually increased.
Even the Ni Family head didn’t bother to observe Liang Lan anymore.
So, she didn’t notice that someone appeared beside Liang Lan—none other than Xue Lin, who was supposed to play Lu Xiaobu!
