My younger brother Lü Fengxian

Chapter 190 Taking advantage of the situation
"Brother, congratulations on your victory!"

After Lu Yi arranged all the matters, Cheng Lian led everyone to come and congratulate him.

"Haha, it's all thanks to you brothers who risked your lives!" Looking at this die-hard fan of his, Lu Yi couldn't help but smile and walked up to him and patted him on the shoulder, showing far more intimacy than anyone else.

"Brother, congratulations." Hao Meng behind Cheng Lian also stepped forward to congratulate him. However, compared with Cheng Lian who was sincere, his attitude was much more restrained, showing the growing gap and estrangement between him and Lu Yi.

"Well, you performed well in the defense of Lüwu this time. I saw a wave of Xianbei people rushing to the top of Lüwu City just now, and you personally led your men to kill them and drive them down the city."

However, Lu Yi nodded at him as usual, and even praised Hao Meng in a rare move.

"Thank you for the compliment, brother. This is what I should do." But Lu Yi's praise made Hao Meng look even more uneasy, as if he had something on his mind.

"Well, everyone has worked hard defending the city today. Now that the Hutuo troops have retreated, the war is temporarily over. Everyone go down and have a good rest. Cheng Lian stay, I have something else to tell you."

Then, seeing that everyone looked tired, Lu Yi waved his hand and asked everyone to stop fighting and rest.

But he only left Cheng Lian behind.

After everyone left, seeing that there was no one else around, the gentle smile that had been on Lu Yi's face suddenly disappeared, and in an instant it became as cold as frost.

"How is Hao Meng doing recently? Is he still in contact with the spy Su Shuang who disguised himself as a refugee?"

"With the recent war approaching, Hao Meng and the spy still have some brains. The two haven't had any contact for a long time!"

Cheng Lian replied immediately. He looked in the direction where Hao Meng left, his eyes full of disappointment and anger.

It turned out that the spy Su Shuang was talking about was Hao Meng, a general under Lu Yi.

Hao Meng has always been thinking about Zhang Wan'er in his heart, but now Zhang Wan'er is Lu Yi's wife, and Lu Yi is the man that Hao Meng is destined to never be able to defeat in this life.

Under normal circumstances, it would be extremely difficult for Hao Meng to take Zhang Wan'er back from Lu Yi.

Therefore, Hao Meng was always unhappy about this, and later his depression gradually turned into resentment towards Lu Yi.

The turning point happened when Su Shuang, who had been secretly lurking in Luwu and disguised as a spy as a refugee, came into contact with Hao Meng after observing for a long time.

Hao Meng, who had long harbored resentment towards Lu Yi, and Su Shuang, who hated Lu Yi to the core, hit it off instantly.

The two of them quickly reached a plan to work together to deal with Lu Yi.

However, Lu Yi had long observed the resentment in Hao Meng's heart, but out of consideration for their brotherhood he did not kill him. Therefore, he was always on guard against him and did not give Hao Meng any real power, so that he had no chance to vent his anger.

Moreover, Lu Yi has always been cautious and meticulous. He arranged all matters in Luwu in an orderly manner, leaving Hao Meng no chance to find any loopholes.

Therefore, the cooperation between the two has been put on hold.

However, Lu Yi was extremely cautious and had been secretly ordering Cheng Lian to monitor Hao Meng's every move.

If Hao Meng could swallow his anger and grant him a sinecure so that he could live a wealthy life, it would be considered that Lu Yi had done his utmost to be kind to him.

And if Hao Meng is not honest, Lu Yi will receive the news immediately and can take countermeasures quickly.

The stupid thing about Hao Meng and Su Shuang was that they chose to have the meeting place in Luwu.

Perhaps they were considering the darkest place under the lamp, but Luwu was Lu Yi's only base camp at present. How could Lu Yi not have a backup plan?
Therefore, as soon as Hao Meng and Su Shuang got in touch, a report on part of their conversation appeared on Lu Yi's desk.

However, Lu Yi was by no means a reckless man who only knew how to show off his bravery. When he got the news, he not only failed to catch Hao Meng and Su Shuang's spies red-handed.

Instead, he deliberately relaxed the surveillance on Hao Meng and used some means to forcibly bribe the maid in Hao Meng's house.

This maid looked a bit like Zhang Wan'er, so Hao Meng loved her very much. Not only did he dote on her, but even when the spy came to talk to Hao Meng, Hao Meng did not hesitate to let the maid serve tea and water for them. Therefore, this maid knew everything about Hao Meng and the others.

After Lu Yi subdued this man, he indirectly obtained a lot of information about Su Shuang.

After learning that Su Shuang was among the Hutuo tribe.

A plan immediately emerged in Lu Yi's mind.

"Where is Gao Shun now?" Lu Yi asked after changing his mind.

"Gao Shun is now fifty miles away from Jiuyuan Pavilion, but because there are too many Hu Tuo's scouts, he dare not show up rashly in order not to expose his identity. He has been hiding in the temporary camp."

Cheng Lian replied immediately after hearing this.

"Tell them to hide carefully and never expose their positions. All schemes and tricks will eventually come to an end. If we really want to defeat Hutto's 7,000 cavalrymen, we must have enough strength. Gao Shun and his 800 armored cavalrymen are our magic weapon for a surprise victory!"

Lu Yi immediately ordered.

"Yes!" Cheng Lian immediately accepted the order.

"As for Hao Meng, since he is unjust, don't blame me for being unkind."

"It's a good opportunity to use their trick to win the Hutuo tribe."

After saying this, a fierce light flashed in Lu Yi's eyes.

"What does big brother mean?" Cheng Lian couldn't help but become excited and asked immediately.

"Isn't he going to sell us out? If he is going to sell us out, why not let him do it more thoroughly?"

Lu Yi suddenly laughed.

"Recall all the eyes around Hao Meng and the spy in the next few days."

"Since Hao Meng is ready to sell us out, as the eldest brother, I naturally have to provide him with some convenience!"

“Hmm…?” Cheng Lian was stunned when he heard that, not knowing what Lu Yi was up to.

That afternoon, Lu Yi summoned Hao Meng to the patriarch's mansion.

"Brother, are you looking for me?" Hao Meng, unaware that he had been exposed, was still trying hard to maintain his image as a good brother.

"Haha, Hao Meng, come here and sit next to me." Lu Yi waved to him with a smile, his attitude surprisingly kind.

"Brother, what do you want me to do for you?" Hao Meng felt panic in his heart, and asked carefully after sitting down.

"Hao Meng, how long have you followed me?" Lu Yi asked with pretended melancholy.

"Many years have passed since my teenage years." Hao Meng couldn't help but sigh as he recalled the past.

To be honest, as the eldest brother, Lu Yi is very nice to them, the younger brothers.

Not only will they never keep all the benefits to themselves, but they will also help them out when anything goes wrong.

But I have fallen in love with my eldest brother's woman, and for the sake of my eldest brother's sister-in-law, I can only ask my eldest brother to die.
