Chapter 204

Lu Yan's urgency was transmitted through the fiery body to Yu Su. Yu Su's palm on Lu Yan's sturdy and powerful shoulder was filled with a restrained force, as if his fingertips could scald Yu Su.

He stared at Lu Yan, "Are you in such a hurry?"

Lu Yan nodded honestly, "Yes, very urgent."

Yu Su: "..."

"Why do you think about it every day? Cultivators should cultivate a clear mind and few desires!"

Lu Yan: "Can't be too few."

With Yu Su as such a vivid and fragrant companion, if he could be content, then there would be a problem. Lu Yan considered himself a physically and mentally healthy man. Just watching Yu Su sway in front of him every day could ignite a fire throughout his body.

So today, he must get an answer.

Caught off guard, Yu Su said, "After you come back this time, we can give it a try."

Lu Yan: "Try? How to try?"

Can you really try such things? He didn't need to try; he believed he was capable.

Yu Su couldn't say he wasn't capable, but some things didn't need explicit explanations. Lu Yan, obviously, couldn't comprehend. He could only lower his body and whisper something in Lu Yan's ear.

Lu Yan's arms suddenly tightened, discovering these steps for the first time. Just thinking about it made him feel like he was about to explode, but he had to restrain himself.

His voice became hoarse. "Okay, let's give it a try."

Finally convinced, Yu Su secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Thinking about how he had to instruct Lu Yan on what to do, he felt speechless.

Why did he agree to Lu Yan's confession?

...

To return early and have a pleasant attempt with Yu Su, Lu Yan didn't sleep the whole night. The next day, before dawn, he left with a restrained fiery temperament.

Before leaving, he passionately nibbled on Yu Su.

In order to go out and meet people, Yu Su had to perform a recovery technique to quickly dissipate the traces.

Thinking about the marks that Lu Yan, like a dog, left all over him, he gritted his teeth.

Just wait for him to come back, and see how he'll deal with him.

After Yu Su finished tidying up, it was already bright outside.

Lu Yan had already counted the two hundred soldiers accompanying him before heading to the eastern plains.

Originally, Lu Yan didn't want to bring so many people. He planned to take the soldiers from the Five Elements Warrior Camp; that would be enough. Quickly suppress and resolve. However, considering the need to build momentum for Yucun, he had to honestly count the troops and set out with them.

As a shaman, Yu Su had to say a few words to boost morale and bless the warriors before they set off.

"Wish you a victorious return."

"Cheers!"

Lu Yan set off with two hundred riders. Before leaving, he deeply looked at Yu Su, then urged the horses along the village's flat road towards the eastern plains.

Yu Su watched Lu Yan's figure.

"How come you start missing him as soon as you part?" Chi Nan walked over at some point, teasing in his tone.

Yu Su gave him a glance. "Are you so curious too?"

Chi Nan: "Curious?"

Knowing that Yu Su was definitely not talking about the Eight Trigrams of Fuxi, combined with his tone, he probably knew what he was talking about. So he said, "I'm not a saint; of course, I'm curious to see the excitement."

Just as Yu Su was about to say something, he suddenly paused, slowly turning his head to look at him. "How did you know about me and Lu Yan?"

Chi Nan inwardly cursed. He had spoken too quickly.

Now, Yu Su was the only one in the village who didn't know that the whole village already knew about his relationship with Lu Yan.

Lu Yan had warned in advance, no one was allowed to accidentally reveal it in front of Yu Su.

Although Chi Nan didn't know what kind of play they were doing, revealing it accidentally now would ruin the fun between the two partners. That would be inviting trouble.

So he quickly chuckled, trying to justify himself. "I just casually said it. Seeing you reluctant to part, I made a casual joke."

The more he said, the more wrong it became. Yu Su remained suspicious, squinting at him.

"Under normal circumstances, you should ask me back, what is the relationship between me and Lu Yan, or express surprise that I really have a relationship with Lu Yan."

"..."

Cold sweat broke out on Chi Nan's back. "Well, I lost my memory, right? My thoughts may not match everyone else's."

The more he said, the more wrong it got. Yu Su was already certain that he knew about his and Lu Yan's relationship.

"When did you find out?" Chi Nan sighed, knowing he couldn't hide it anymore, so he admitted, "I have some cultivation, even with internal injuries. My senses are sharp, and occasionally, I notice the little actions between you and Lu Yan. Isn't that surprising?"

Yu Su still felt something was off but couldn't deny that Chi Nan's explanation made sense. This guy's cultivation was unfathomable, even with injuries. He could see and hear things far beyond ordinary people.

Seeing that Yu Su didn't doubt him further, Chi Nan secretly breathed a sigh of relief but dared not make fun of Yu Su and Lu Yan's relationship again. He quickly changed the topic.

...

Eastern plains.

Da Ji Village and Mang Village are engaged in a fierce battle. Many small villages nervously close their village gates, afraid that people from these two big villages will capture them as slave soldiers at any moment.

The first trade caravan is currently staying in a village north of Da Ji Village.

Initially, Da Ji Village wanted to capture people from this village, but the caravan's soldiers blocked their way back.

"I am the captain of the Yu Village trade caravan. Anyone who dares to touch our people can give it a try," Yu Ye shouted.

The trade caravan from Yu Village had visited Da Ji Village before. The village chief of Da Ji Village knew that Yu Village was not simple. Combined with the news of Yu Village's activities in Sanhe Village and the Yuan Witch Clan, many major forces on the plains were observing this suddenly emerged village.

If it weren't for the unusually harsh winter, disrupting many people's livelihoods, the village chief of Da Ji Village even thought about personally visiting Yu Village this spring.

Due to these concerns, in the end, the people of Da Ji Village did not attack the village where the caravan took shelter.

This small village is called Yan Village. The village chief of Yan Village, along with the entire village, thanked Yu Ye and the others for saving them.

"We are here, they dare not harm you, but we will eventually leave, so you should still prepare early," Yu Ye said.

The village chief of Yan Village nodded with an unpleasant expression. "I understand. Thanks for the reminder."

"If the gods are willing to end this disaster, it would be great," prayed the witch doctor of Yan Village.

Yu Ye thought, you might as well pray to Lord Yu Su.

But this thought was just a passing one because Yu Village was far on the other side of the mountains and could not possibly intervene in the conflict between Da Ji Village and Mang Village.

However, this idea was quickly contradicted.

Yu Ye received a letter from Yu Village. Lu Yan, with people, came to the eastern plains to end the battle between Da Ji Village and Mang Village.

Yu Ye widened his eyes, did they really come?

He looked at the troubled faces of the people in Yan Village. "You are saved."

The people of Yan Village looked at him in confusion.

"Captain Yu, what do you mean?" asked the village chief of Yan Village.

Yu Ye said, "Our Lord Yu Su from Yu Village has sent Leader Lu to bring Yu Village's soldiers to end this conflict."

The people of Yan Village were very surprised.

However, after looking at each other, they did not show too happy expressions.

Because they did not think that Yu Village could end the conflict between Da Ji Village and Mang Village.

Those were Da Ji Village and Mang Village, two major forces on the plains. Any one of them would have to weigh their own strength if they faced them alone. Even if Yu Village had salt and food, it was impossible to make them stop the war simultaneously.

Yu Ye could tell what they were thinking from their expressions, but he did not explain because when the facts come out, it would be more effective than explaining a thousand times here.

...

The battlefield between Da Ji Village and Mang Village is on the piece of land they are fighting for.

It is a fertile land with abundant water and grass. Da Ji Village wants to plant rice on that land, and Mang Village wants to raise wild sheep there.

But now, the two villages are in conflict, and the blood has stained the water here.

Each side occupies a corner, facing each other.

They each recruited a new batch of slave soldiers and drove them onto the battlefield.

Once on the battlefield, slave soldiers had only one way to survive, which was to desperately kill the other side's people; otherwise, they would be killed by the other side's slave soldiers.

Even if they themselves did not want to participate in this conflict, at this time, they had no choice.

After a fierce battle, the slave soldiers suffered heavy casualties.

Bodies were everywhere.

Crows and vultures flew down from the sky, swarming around the bodies to feast. Beasts from the plains also came, attracted by the scent.

When Lu Yan and his team arrived at a nearby high ground, they could see this scene from afar.

The smell of blood wafted far, making noses ache.

Yu Meng clicked his tongue twice. "This is too ruthless."

Yu Village had also suffered several attacks, with the largest being the joint attack by Fengcheng and the Salt Field on Yu Village. However, at that time, the battle, though intense, quickly ended. After the fight, the bodies were quickly buried, and those vultures and beasts did not have time to feast.

But now, the battle between Da Ji Village and Mang Village had been going on for so long that there was no place to bury the bodies. They simply threw those bodies into pits.

Yu Meng, with an unsatisfactory expression, said, "At least bury the bodies."

Lu Yan calmly said, "Most of those are slave soldiers. Both Da Ji Village and Mang Village do not care about them."

Yu Meng and the others did not look good at his words. They were not people who couldn't stand death, but the fate of those slave soldiers was so pitiful that it made people sigh.

After all, Yu Village was once a poor and backward small village, so there might be some empathy.

Yu Meng: "Leader, how do you plan to make them stop?"

Lu Yan: "Wait until they start fighting again."

Yu Meng: "Why? If they fight again, who are we going to help by charging over?"

Lu Yan gave him a strange look, "Help? You're thinking too much. I just want to shock both sides at once, saving the trouble of running around for both sides."

Yu Meng vaguely felt that Lu Yan was up to something and swallowed his saliva, "How do you plan to do it?"
