Spare Me, Great Lord! - Chapter 983

Chapter 983: Long Yin River

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Lu Shu was slightly angry. Rationally, buying his way to victory was the most stable option. After all, he had advanced to Rank One. As long as his opponent was not unnaturally strong, he would be able to defeat them easily, right?

Thus, to Lu Shu, buying his way to victory was the way!

But this arrangement by the gambling dens in the palace surprised Lu Shu. He would definitely enter the Sword Hut. He could not bet that he would lose, right? He loved money, but this was more important than money.

Lu Shu was very unhappy. Why did the Song Ji gambling den not discuss this with him?

But the Song Ji gambling den could not be blamed either. Their chief officer, Zhao Shuai, was in Nangeng City. He had come to find Lu Shu, but… he could not find him!

Zhao Shuai did not know that Lu Shu was participating in the Sword Hut selections. He wanted to ask Lu Shu who was participating from the Wei Wu Army, and whether they could work things out.

Zhang Weiyu knew that they were all old friends. Thus, he did not conceal the truth. The Great Lord was headed towards the palace. Lu Shu himself would be participating from the Wei Wu Army. But he did not see where Lu Shu was or when he had set off.

Zhang Weiyu was worried that someone would determine where Lu Shu was. What if someone had evil intentions towards Lu Shu? He could imagine how many people in the palace wanted to kill Lu Shu…

But Zhang Weiyu did not know that not only had people from the palace come, they were traveling with Lu Shu. Zhang Weiyu underestimated Lu Shu?s shamelessness…

As for Zhao Shuai, when he discovered that Lu Shu was the one participating in the selection, he was very shocked. It was his first time seeing a commander participate in the Sword Hut selections!

Then, Zhao Shuai decided to discuss what they would do with the gambling dens. Although they could not find Lu Shu, he would eventually reach the palace. They had worked together for a very long time. It was easy to discuss what they would do.

Thus, the gambling dens in the palace produced this small booklet. They decided to expose Lu Shu?s strength. Others thought that the four Rank Ones in the Wei Wu Army definitely had a proper place, but Zhao Shuai had interacted with Lu Shu for a long time. He knew that Lu Shu was only a Rank Two.

Thus, Zhao Shuai felt that this selling point was very good. A Rank Two would turn the tides!

Zhao Shuai did not think about what to do if Lu Shu was not selected. To be honest, he had never considered this possibility. Subconsciously, Zhao Shuai felt that Lu Shu would definitely be selected, even if he was a Rank Two.

He did not know where this confidence in Lu Shu?s abilities came from…

But the Song Ji gambling den had miscalculated. They thought that gamblers had poor memory. If they saw that Lu Shu was only a Rank Two, they would be more cautious. But their memory this time was very good!

The gambling dens thought that this was very bizarre. They had never seen this happen in their many years operating gambling dens. People who often lost bets still ran towards gambling dens. They would still lose, right?

But they had overlooked one problem. In the long history of the Luniverse, no one was as ferocious as Lu Shu against the gamblers in the palace. Luniverse had taught the gamblers in the palace a lesson. He firmly taught them one thing. It was right to bet on Lu Shu.

Thus, Lu Shu?s odds were very low.

The gambling dens in the palace felt that they would not be able to earn much from this. After all, their strongest candidate had been blocked…

But at that moment, as Lu Shu was looking at the booklet, he suddenly thought of something. Everyone knew that the Sword Hut selections only selected four people every year. It was the standard and there were no exceptions.

What if… was it possible for him to do something to this?!

This fell in line with his earlier plan!

After more than one month, the trade caravan finally reached the palace. To Lu Shu?s shock, the walls of the palace were painted with various words.

?The Song Ji gambling den welcomes you. Your address, please…?

?Little Dragon Inn welcomes you…?

?Hot springs…?

Lu Shu was dumbfounded. ?What is this? Can you write these on the city walls??

The city was lofty, like a mountain. In the past, Lu Shu had felt that the Tiger?s Back was very magnificent, but this palace exceeded his expectations.

There seemed to be no end to the city walls. Lu Shu stood in front of the wall and looked around, but he could not find the end.

Just how big was this place?

Many intricate advertisements were pasted on the entrance of the city. Government servants were even running around, pasting new advertisements…

Yi Qian did not seem puzzled. ?Advertisements spread far and wide. This was something that the old King of Gods had established. Every advertisement space is very expensive. Only money squandering establishments are able to afford them. But they are quite useful. Visitors are very easily attracted to these advertisements.?

Lu Shu was speechless. He wanted to return to Nangeng City and tell the elders that advertisement spaces were for rent…

The old King of Gods dared to do such a taboo thing, but the heads of cities would not…

But Lu Shu did not care much about this. The moment he entered the city, he promised to Sun Zhongyang. ?I will help you to find the commander of the Wei Wu Army. But I have some private affairs to attend to. Tomorrow, I will visit the Sun residence.?

Then, Lu Shu asked Yi Qian to lead the way.

The gamblers and wealthy families in the palace did not know that their most hated person had silently arrived at the palace. Furthermore, he was contemplating how to make them jump into the Long Yin River again…

Zhang Weiyu had been looking forward to what would happen when Lu Shu arrived in the palace. Now, Lu Shu had finally reached the palace.

Sun Zhongyang did not stop him. He waited for Lu Shu to leave before laughing coldly. ?As expected, he is preparing to sell goods to two parties. What else would he have to do in the palace? He is not going in the direction of the Sword Hut either. He must be looking for Lu Shu, the commander of the Wei Wu Army!?

?Follow him.? Mo Xiaoya laughed coldly. ?Let me capture him in the act. I will have to inform the Sword Hut as well!?

?Ahem.? Sun Zhongyang interrupted her. ?I don?t think you should say that. After all, it is the Sword Hut. What can you do??

Mo Xiaoya was silent. She sighed. The Sword Hut was impressive.

They silently followed Lu Shu, Yi Qian, and Lu Xiaoyu. But they were puzzled. Why were they going to the gambling dens?

Sun Zhongyang got Sun Zhongyang to ask the people in the gambling dens what this young man was doing. But they did not have any impression of Lu Shu.

How very strange!

In reality, Lu Shu knew that Sun Zhongyang and the rest were following him. Thus, when he placed his bets, he used his mask to change his appearance.

Yi Qian led Lu Shu in all directions. Sun Zhongyang and the rest followed behind. In the end, Lu Shu came to a small courtyard. He did not even say a greeting before he opened the door and went in. A valiant young man turned around and coldly looked at Lu Shu.

But before he could say anything, Sun Zhongyang and the rest had flown in. ?Ha ha ha ha, Lu Shu. Have you expected that today would come??

The valiant young man looked up and stared at Sun Zhongyang. ?I am not Lu Shu.?

Sun Zhongyang was full of vigor. ?I know that you wouldn?t admit it!?

The day Lu Shu arrived in the palace, Ding Qiushui, one of the most popular candidates for the Sword Hut selections, was mysteriously eliminated…

The gamblers in the palace suddenly sensed that an unavoidable force had entered the palace and was pushing them into the Long Yin River…
