Jiapingguan Chronicle

Chapter 2450: Frog in the well!

Ever since he made the biggest decision in his life, to follow Prince Hui to the sea and leave the camp of the Shen family army, Lu Shengyuan's condition has changed drastically. He is no longer as tense as before, no longer worried about this or that, and looks ten years younger than before, which is something Lu Shengyuan had never thought of.

Of course, this change did not happen overnight. At the beginning, he was restless and couldn't eat or sleep. He sat in the yard every night staring at the sky. Later, I don't know how I got used to it, and slowly began to accept this change. Eating, sleeping, and going out for a walk every day became more normal. He even started to help Lao Tang, helping him make braised food and going out with him.

Lu Shengyuan discovered that this kind of life was pretty good. He could do whatever he wanted to do and not do whatever he didn’t want to do. He didn’t have to think about anything else or care about the people and things around him. He only had to think about himself.

In short, Lu Shengyuan felt that this was the happiest, freest and most spontaneous time in his life. He would never forget it in his life, and even after a long, long time, it would remain deeply in his memory.

Lao Tang was quite happy about this change in Lu Shengyuan. He and Lu Shengyuan had known each other for many years. They didn't have much of a close relationship before, and they basically just handled their business as usual. But he could also see that Lao Lu was a very nervous person, not relaxed at all, and overly cautious and careful about everything. Everything had to be done meticulously according to his plan, otherwise he would become very irritable and anxious. Even if he could adjust his plan at any time, he would still be quite irritable.

Lao Tang is very happy in his current situation. There is someone accompanying him to set up the stall every day, so he sells more braised food and earns more.

Ying Wu, who was in charge of looking for people, didn't know that Lu Shengyuan had gone to set up a stall with Lao Tang, so he didn't find anyone at Lao Tang's house. After asking Lu Shengyuan's captain, he learned that Lao Lu had gone to set up a stall with Lao Tang. After finding out the location, he also went to the stall.

When they arrived, they saw a lot of people surrounding Lao Tang's stall. Ying Wu was standing not far away waiting. He walked over slowly after the group of people had left and Lao Tang and Lu Shengyuan were ready to close the stall.

"Sorry, we're sold out. Tonight..." Lao Tang turned around while cleaning up and saw Ying Wu standing behind him. He was slightly stunned, "Xiao Wu? Why are you here?"

"Brother Tang, I'm looking for General Lu." Ying Wu looked at Lu Shengyuan and smiled, "Duke, Marquis, and Boss, please come in."

"Where are you going? To the mansion?"

"The main camp." Ying Wu saw Lu Shengyuan put down what he was holding and wanted to follow him, so he stretched out his hand to stop him. "Before I came out, the boss told me that he would ask you in advance. If you want to go, go. If you don't want to go, don't go."

"What do you mean?" Lao Tang put his hand on Yingwu's shoulder, "What happened?"

"The commander-in-chief will lead a large army to the border tomorrow afternoon. You all know this, right?" Seeing the two people nod, Ying Wu continued, "Then you should know that the commander-in-chief is very protective of his shortcomings. No matter whether the prince is wrong or not, the commander-in-chief will talk to you about the matter between Old Lu and the prince. Besides."

"Besides, this time, it's really my fault." Lu Shengyuan nodded, "So what? Let me take the blame? But he won't arrive until tomorrow? Why is he looking for me today?"

"It's not that I'm asking for forgiveness. The commander-in-chief won't let you do that. He always solves any problem with his fists. But this time, he didn't do it himself, but asked a powerful person." Ying Wu sighed, looked at Lu Shengyuan, and then looked at Lao Tang, "Your idol is here."

"What?" Old Tang yelled, attracting the attention of everyone around him. He felt a little embarrassed, so he waved at the others and turned back to look at Ying Wu, "Who did you say is here?"

"Your idol, the one you particularly admire."

"General Eagle Leopard?" Seeing Ying Wu nod, Lao Tang's eyes lit up like stars in the sky, "Is he really coming?"

"Why would I lie to you? The Duke, the Marquis, and the Boss personally brought him back two hours ago."

"Is he the only one?"

"He brought a small team of about a hundred people. I heard that His Royal Highness the Eagle King was worried about the Duke and the boss, so he specially transferred them to serve as guards." Ying Wu patted the hand on his shoulder and said, "It hurts, loosen up, loosen up." "Sorry, I was too excited." Lao Tang quickly let go and rubbed Ying Wu's shoulders, "Um, um, I..."

"I've asked the boss, you can go." Ying Wu smiled helplessly, "The boss knows that you want to see your idol and have a competition with him, right?"

"Yeah!" Lao Tang's eyes lit up and he nodded frequently, "Then what are we waiting for? Let's go now!"

"What's the point of you agreeing?" Ying Wu didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He looked at Lu Shengyuan who had already packed up his things and said, "We have to ask Old Lu if he wants to go."

"Why not?" Lao Tang clapped his hands, "This is a rare opportunity!"

"Don't get excited yet." Yingwu nudged Lao Tang with his elbow. "Since you guys have closed your stall, let's send your stall back first, okay?"

"Okay, let's talk while we walk."

Lao Tang patted Lu Shengyuan, indicating that he would push the cart, and the three of them began to walk towards Lao Tang's courtyard.

"Old Lu, what do you think? Do you want to go?" Ying Wu looked at Lu Shengyuan, "What Brother Tang said just now is right. Putting aside other reasons, this is a particularly good opportunity, a chance to fight with a legendary master."

"I just listened for a long time, but I didn't quite understand. What is this Eagle Leopard?"

"You haven't heard of him?" Lao Tang looked at Lu Shengyuan in shock, "You don't know him?"

"I don't know!" Lu Shengyuan looked at the shocked expressions of the two people around him, "Is he some very powerful person? I must know?"

"It's hard to imagine that as a member of the Shen family army, you don't know him." Lao Tang sighed helplessly, "Your Highness the Eagle King, you should know him, right?"

"Yes, I have met him during the Chinese New Year. He is the Duke's master, and the Marquis and the General's uncle?"

"Then do you know about the Eagle King Army?" Seeing Lu Shengyuan's bewildered expression, Lao Tang and Ying Wu were helpless. "Is what you know limited to the things about Jiaping Pass?"

"What's wrong with this?"

"Not wrong, it's probably just another frog in the well!" Seeing Lu Shengyuan glaring, Lao Tang waved his hand, "It's said that our Shen's Army is the strongest force in the entire Daxia. In fact, the real strongest force should be the Eagle King Army, but for one reason or another, they are now in a state of seclusion."

"I really don't know." Lu Shengyuan shook his head slightly and looked at Lao Tang, "So, this Eagle Leopard General is very powerful?"

"The last time I went back to Beijing, the boss fought with him." Ying Wu sighed, "They fought for almost half an hour and must have used hundreds of moves. In the end, the boss was lucky and caught a flaw in him, so she barely won. The boss herself said that if she continued, she would definitely collapse on the stage due to exhaustion."

"Is he really that powerful?" Lu Shengyuan looked at Lao Tang and Ying Wu, and they nodded at him. "That's great. I'll give it a try. I'm going to make amends anyway, so I'm sure I'll lose. Just let's see how powerful the person you admire so much is!"
