Longevity: Starting from Refining Gu-Chapter 384 - 228: Troops Approach Wangbei City (2)

The King’s Power was overwhelmingly strong, making him feel extremely oppressed.

Lu Shen stepped forward and respectfully saluted, “Lu Shen of the Dragon Cavalry under Lord Wen of Nanli, greets the Snow Wolf Lord!”

The Snow Wolf Lord glanced at him sideways, “A man of Wen?”

“Isn’t he supposed to be near Heavenly Dragon City? Why seek me?”

Lu Shen said, “Lord Wen has already reached outside Wangbei City and specifically sent me to pay respects to the Snow Wolf Lord, inviting him to jointly break through Wangbei City and enter the Central Plains to conquer the world!”

The Snow Wolf Lord said, “According to the etiquette of our wolf tribe, when meeting an elder, one must present live prey.”

“I wonder, am I considered an elder?”

Lu Shen’s face changed slightly, and he saluted, “You are the mighty ruler of the North, naturally an elder!”

The Snow Wolf Lord placed his large hand on the armrest, “Then, where is your gift?”

He was deliberately making things difficult; in the Death Realm, finding live prey was impossible!

Moreover, he had come alone without bringing anything else.

Lu Shen drew his sword, causing the surrounding wolves to stand up, “How dare you draw your sword before the Snow Wolf Lord!”

“Quickly cut him down!”

“Drag him out!”

The Snow Wolf Lord, however, showed a trace of interest, wanting to see how this person in front of him would resolve his predicament.

“Let him demonstrate.”

Lu Shen removed his armor and outer clothing, revealing his muscular body.

“I ask the Snow Wolf Lord to grant a jade plate so I can present my gift to the Lord.”

The Snow Wolf Lord waved his hand, and soon someone brought a jade plate.

Then, Lu Shen cut off the flesh from his left arm with a sword, slicing until his left hand was nothing but bare bones.

After that, he placed the sword outside the royal tent, took the jade plate in his right hand, and walked into the tent, presenting it to the Snow Wolf Lord.

“This is my gift, please, Snow Wolf Lord, enjoy!”

The Snow Wolf Lord clapped his hands and laughed, “What a brave warrior!”

“I never thought the human race would have such a valiant hero!”

“I admire you greatly.”

He picked up a piece of flesh and put it in his mouth, still steaming.

“If you are willing to join me, I will bestow upon you nine beautiful wives, their skin as soft as sheep, their tenderness like rabbit fur, mesmerizing.”

“I will also give you bountiful grasslands, as precious as gold in the desert.”

“In Nanli, they might call the grasslands the Lanrotuo Realm.”

“Not only that, you can become my trusted aide, ride my blood kin as your steed!”

Lu Shen shook his head, “I apologize, having already pledged my loyalty to Lord Wen, I cannot serve another.”

“And I suppose you, too, do not favor those who betray their masters?”

The Snow Wolf Lord showed deep appreciation, “What you said is true, loyalty on the snow plains is more precious than Spirit Stones, a blessing from the Wolf King; you are a true warrior.”

“Very well, I will send someone to inform your Lord Wen that we attack the city together at dawn tomorrow.”

Lu Shen was puzzled, “Eh? Sending someone?”

The Snow Wolf Lord laughed heartily, “You don’t think you can return, do you?”

The Snow Wolf Lord called over the Wolf Girl who brought Lu Shen and handed her a letter, “Bai Xue, deliver this to Lord Wen of Nanli.”

Lu Shen looked at the letter, his heart pounded; the Snow Wolf Lord had known all along.

…

Three hundred miles from Wangbei City, in a cavern.

Chen Qing turned to Bai Xue, took the letter she brought, read it, and handed it to Hu Yao for her to pass around.

He studied Bai Xue with interest, “Where is Lu Shen?”

Bai Xue blinked her star-like bright eyes, “Are you talking about the guy who came to deliver the letter?”

“The Lord asked him why he didn’t bring a gift, and he chopped off his own left arm as an offering.”

“The Lord said he was a true warrior and wanted to give him nine wives!”

Chen Qing was slightly touched, truly realizing how esteemed he was within the Dragon Cavalry, “He really is a true warrior, never wavering.”

“Your Lord said in the letter that from now on, you will follow me, accompanying me on my campaigns.”

Bai Xue was shocked, “Ah? How can this be?”

Chen Qing smiled, “What, are you unwilling?”

Bai Xue scrutinized Chen Qing for a moment, “Since it’s the Lord’s command, I’ll obey you.”

With that, Bai Xue led her white wolf out the door, but returned shortly after, “By the way, where is your bed, so I can warm up first?”

Chen Qing: …

Xuan Mang: …

Hu Yao said, “It’s their wolf tribe’s habit, once given, she is now yours.”

Chen Qing coughed, “Uh, your Lord didn’t give you to me, just let you follow my orders for now.”

“Ying Wugang, take her away and arrange things per Dragon Cavalry standards.”

Bai Xue huffed, “Humph, you could’ve said so earlier!”

With that, she followed Ying Wugang out.

Chen Qing remarked, “The wolf tribe’s customs are indeed different from ours.”

Hu Yao said, “So, is leaving her with you your intention?”

Chen Qing hadn’t expected it; Hu Yao hadn’t immediately questioned after reading the letter that didn’t mention these things.

Chen Qing nodded, “He kept Lu Shen; why can’t I keep her?”

“Consider it a hostage exchange for our alliance.”

“So, you’ve all read the letter, what are your thoughts on the attack?”

Wei Qingchen spread out the map and said, “Wangbei City has four gates, surrounded by Dead Sea Water as a barrier, the wolves blocked to the north, so they can only attack the North Gate.”

“But the wolves are many, they can swarm the city.”

“When the wolf clan draws Li Chonghuan’s attention, we will strike together and capture the eighteen docks to the south.”

“Then, Lord Wen and the Demon King each lead a hundred Dragon Cavalry and other demons, attacking the East and West Gates to intensify the pressure.”

“After that, the six hundred Dragon Cavalry led by us will launch a fierce assault on the South Gate!”

“The only one capable within the city is Li Chonghuan.”

“With such an offensive, Li Chonghuan will be stretched too thin, unable to cover everything, and if any force breaches a gate, opening the way into the city, it will be a great victory!”

Chen Qing nodded slightly and looked at the Monkey, “What does the Think Tank think?”

Monkey said, “This plan is brilliant, with our King, Prince Wen, and the Snow Wolf Lord leading the charge on Wangbei City, even Li Chonghuan can’t hold out!”

Chen Qing nodded and made a decision, “Good, so be it, order to prepare for battle!”

“Our time is limited, we must take Wangbei City quickly.”

“Only when the wolf demons enter the Central Plains can we safely retreat to the vicinity of the Dead Sea.”

After giving orders, Chen Qing went to the cave entrance, gazing at the distant Wangbei City, observing the King’s Aura above the city, matching that of Ji Dang.

But even so, it won’t matter, with the three King Gu holders attacking Wangbei City simultaneously, even if Li Chonghuan had divine means, he would surely be defeated!
