My younger brother Lü Fengxian

Chapter 129 Attack
Now, relying on the Zhongshan Smuggling Chamber of Commerce, the protection fees they collect are already more than if they personally sold horses. Without this level of income and power, the Su and Zhang families will immediately decline, and the wealth they have accumulated over the years will also attract the covetousness of others!
Therefore, Su Shuang and others must fight back.

"It's come to this, there's no point in saying more!"

Su Shuang's face also looked a little ugly.

"Since Lu Yi wants to eat alone and doesn't want to integrate with us, then we will let him starve to death!"

As he said that, Su Shuang turned to look at Wang Fu who was looking expectant.

"Wang Fu, your families' original Mayi trade routes have been occupied by that Lu Yi, and you have long been prepared to attack him. Now I will allow you to launch a joint attack, focusing on attacking the Lu family caravan's route outside the Great Wall. Since he has prevented your caravan from leaving the Great Wall, you will prevent his caravan from returning!"

"Thank you for your approval, Chief. If we unite together, we can easily gather thousands of troops. The Lu family caravan only has 200 guards. How can they stop us?"

"This time, Lu Yi will not be able to return home alone!"

After Wang Fu got Su Shuang's permission, he and several other families that were almost bankrupted by Lu Yi were so excited that they were about to explode.

Finally, we can get rid of this scourge.

Or get rid of it yourself.

There was no news that could make them happier than this.

However, Su Shuang, Zhang Shiping and others would think of buying off connections within the Zhen family.

And Mr. Zhen is so shrewd, how could he not know that his steward had been bribed by Su Shuang and others?

Not only that, he also bribed several families in the smuggling alliance to provide information to the Zhen family.

Therefore, the news that Su Shuang and Zhang Shiping were preparing to take action against Lu Yi was immediately placed on his desk.

"Father, people like Su Shuang are just misers. They get money but don't know the real use of money. The current situation is unstable and chaos has emerged. Lu Yi, who came from a humble background, can be more useful to our Zhen family. In my opinion, it would be better to help Lu Yi deal with Su Shuang and Zhang Shiping's smuggling guild."

"With the power of our Zhen family, it's easy to deal with a few smugglers who are banding together for warmth!"

As the most core member of the Zhen family, Lu Yi's little fanboy Zhen Yi was naturally the second one to receive the news.

So he immediately found his old father and started to take sides.

"Haha, my son has grown up!"

Zhen's father looked at his anxious son with a smile.

Although Zhen Yi's starting point is still based on personal feelings, compared to the past when he was completely uninterested in family affairs, Zhen Yi has undoubtedly begun to change.

And this is all thanks to Lu Yi.

However, Zhen's father had grown old and was very experienced in dealing with things, and had long since abandoned all emotions.

The only person in the world who can distract him is the legitimate son in front of him.

Although he was grateful to Lu Yi, he would not help him too much.

"However, Yi'er, your action is too impulsive and will also affect the interests of the Zhen family."

"You must remember that no matter when or where, the interests of the Zhen family should be your first consideration."

“If I help, it means that I, Zhen, will personally enter the scene. Not only will I offend Su Shuang, Zhang Shiping and others, but even some bigwigs in Luoyang will be dissatisfied with me, Zhen.”

"As for Lv Yi, you can send someone to tell him the news. If he is as talented as you think, he should be able to do it and won't be easily defeated by Su Shuang, Zhang Shiping and others." "Father, Su Shuang and Zhang Shiping have been doing business for generations, while Lv Yi has just started his own business. There is a big gap between the two. I am worried that Lv Yi will not be able to defeat Su Shuang and others and will be killed."

Zhen Yi said anxiously, and hurriedly wanted to ask his father to help Lu Yi.

But Zhen's father waved his hands, unmoved, and just gave a little comfort.

"I have made up my mind. Zhen's will never intervene in the fight between the two. However, what Lu Yi has done recently is quite interesting. In less than a year, he has built a medium-sized fortress and established a considerable force. He is a talent. If he is really unable to do so, Yi'er, you can help save his family. In this way, he will definitely be grateful to you and will most likely become a capable member of our Zhen's in the future!"

"This... okay..."

Zhen Yi couldn't persuade his father and could only obey the order and leave.

"Lü Yi...how will you respond to the attacks from Su Shuang, Zhang Shiping, and others?"

"Haha, not to mention Yi'er, even I am quite interested in you..."

In the dark room, Zhen's father's eyes sparkled, without a trace of old age.

……

In early September, Lu Yi did not stay in Mayi for long and immediately returned to Jiuyuan.

Because an urgent message came from Jiuyuan that an old friend was coming from Zhongshan.

Full of doubts, Lu Yi arrived at Jiuyuan only to find out that the person who came was Zhen Yi.

However, at this moment, Zhen Yi was wearing a bamboo hat and a grey robe, still looking as elegant as a young master.

Moreover, his handsome face was weather-beaten and haggard, and it was obvious that he had come here in a hurry.

"Brother Zhen, are you dressed like this because the Zhen family is in trouble? Do you need my help?"

Without waiting for Zhen Yi to speak, Lu Yi walked up to him with a concerned look on his face and held his hands.

"Zhen Shi has been very kind to me. As long as Brother Zhen says a word, Lu Yi will go through fire and water without hesitation!"

Zhen Yi must have come here for something since he was dressed like this. No matter what, Lu Yi would first say some nice words. As for what to do in the end, it would depend on the specific situation.

Zhen Yi, who had come quietly to report the news, did not expect that Lu Yi not only did not consider himself, but was worried about the Zhen family. He could not help but admire Lu Yi's chivalry even more, and felt that he was right to come in person to report the news.

"Brother Lu is kind and righteous, not comparable to ordinary chivalrous men. However, I came here not for my Zhen family, but for the Lu family!"

"Come for my Lu family?" Lu Yi was stunned when he heard that.

"My Zhen family has already known about the conflict between Brother Lu and Zhongshan Su Shuang and Zhang Shiping. The Zhen family has planted spies around Su Shuang and others to report back. Their Chamber of Commerce has made preparations to harm the Lu family. They have sent Wang Fu and several other families to join forces and attack the Lu family's caravan outside the Great Wall."

"They have a combined force of 1,000 men and horses, while the Lu family caravan only has 200 regular cavalry. We are bound to be defeated by them at a five-to-one ratio. Therefore, Zhen came to report the news as soon as he learned of it. Brother Lu, please be careful and don't lead the team out of the border to trade in person!"

Zhen Yi spoke sincerely and hurriedly as he explained the whole story.

Unexpectedly, after hearing his words, Lu Yi not only did not show any fear, but instead showed confidence and a smile, as if he had succeeded.

"Brother Lu, what are you doing..." Zhen Yi was stunned when he saw this.
