1194: Chapter 1154: The Coward 1194: Chapter 1154: The Coward Guan Tianjun noticed Lu Qianyu’s gaze towards him and quickly lowered his head, remaining silent.
“So people, if they see Lu Chuan and still fail to report, shouldn’t bla for being ruthless.
Even if he was once my ally, he must still pay a heavy price!”
Hearing this, Guan Tianjun knew that she was warning him, that if he continued this way, he would be courting disaster!
Lu Qianyu saw that Guan Tianjun was already sweating profusely and couldn’t help but laugh.
“What are you nervous about?”
“I’m not nervous, it’s just that it’s too hot here, and I ate too much in the morning and feel uncomfortable digesting.” He touched his stomach with an embarrassed look.
“Alright, I’m too lazy to talk nonsense.
Now, I want you to open this paper in front of you.”
In front of them was a docunt, and after opening it, they saw its contents.
“I want to form an alliance specifically aid at fighting against Lu Chuan.
I want all of you to sign.”
“After signing, as long as I give an order, you must all obey and send out the most elite soldiers from your families to surround Lu Chuan, no matter the cost, and kill him!”
“Anyone who disobeys the command, I will execute under the pretext of tearing up the cooperation agreent!”
“Now, sign.”
In a mont, the group sitting there swallowed nervously.
This was the first ti they saw Lu Qianyu taking such drastic asures just to deal with one person, having to pay such a heavy price!
But they had no other choice but to sign, as they were all vassals of the Lu family.
What else could they do if they didn’t sign?
After signing one by one, a special person collected these agreents back.
“Very well, this is sothing you all agreed to voluntarily.
If anyone disobeys, be careful I take action.”
Lu Qianyu gave them a knowing smile, then turned and left.
Watching Lu Qianyu’s retreating figure, everyone beca nervous and started whispering to each other.
“What exactly is going on?
Why such a big fuss over dealing with soone?
Why use so much of our power?”
“I don’t know, is that Lu Chuan that strong?
It’s the first ti I’ve seen Lu Qianyu so anxious.”
“What do we do?
When she really gives the order, we’ll have no choice.”
“There’s nothing we can do, just follow her orders to fight.
After all, it’s only one person against us, with our numbers, how could we not win?
It’s just the cost of so soldiers’ lives, all of which can be resolved with money, not a big issue.”
Hearing their conversation made Guan Tianjun’s frown tighten.
He and Lu Chuan were in the sa boat; Lu Chuan was not fighting alone, he had the Guan family too!
Isn’t this like putting them on the grill?
Once all the aristocratic families in the city send their soldiers to besiege him, their numbers alone could overpower the Guan family!
Guan Tianjun wiped the sweat beads from his forehead, feeling extrely nervous inside; he felt suffocated.
It was too hard to face, practically pitting their family against the entire force of Hei Jin City, a battle they completely couldn’t fight, an unstoppable force!
The City Lord next to him noticed his condition and asked, “Are you still not feeling well?
Why are you sweating cold?”
“Nothing…
just stomach discomfort, I think I should go back now.”
He hurriedly got up and fled from the place swiftly.
Seeing this, others beca curious.
“What’s with him?
Why so nervous?”
“I don’t know…”
Guan Tianjun left the Council Hall, gasping heavily at the door.
The caretaker seeing him, asked, “Isn’t this Lord Guan?
What’s wrong?
You seem unwell.”
“I’m fine…”
“I need to leave now, this eting is concluded.”
Guan Tianjun quickly left the place, rushing away.
He dared not linger here any longer, afraid he wouldn’t be able to withstand the pressure, completely collapsing.
He never imagined his Guan family would end up in this situation, inexplicably standing against the Lu family.
Even!
Standing against the whole Hei Jin City.
He even considered whether to align with the Lu family, confessing everything might provide a slim chance of survival.
Suddenly, he rembered that during the eting in the Council Hall, Lu Qianyu had given him a look, a look that seed to see through everything, telling him she already knew about his situation.
But she didn’t directly expose him or take action against Guan Tianjun.
Instead, she applied trendous pressure.
Guan Tianjun suddenly thought, “Could it just be giving an opportunity?”
“Very likely, she is giving a chance by calling to the eting and putting pressure on , it must be so!”
He clenched his fists and spoke earnestly.
“If that’s the case, then…”
He started to struggle, inadvertently reaching the entrance of the gate.
Standing at the gate, he hesitated.
The Servant approached him, “Master, get on the carriage and go back.”
He was still hesitating.
For the family, he could have a foolproof plan by letting Lu Qianyu give him a chance, giving the Guan family a chance.
But, he couldn’t assure if in the end, Lu Qianyu would forgive him.
But if he persisted defiantly, that would be completely standing against Hei Jin City!
In that case… the problem seed even bigger!
He didn’t believe they had any chance of winning, he didn’t know what strength Lu Chuan had, nor if Lu Chuan could turn the tide.
Moreover, he hadn’t known Lu Chuan for long.
If so…
“Get in the carriage, but not to go ho.”
“Then…where to?”
“To Lu Manor.”
“Why there?”
“That’s not for you to ask.”
Then, Guan Tianjun boarded the carriage and started heading towards Lu Manor.
Arriving at the entrance of Lu Manor, he disembarked and walked into Lu Manor.
As soon as he entered, the Manor’s caretaker ca to greet him, as if they knew he would co.
The caretaker approached, smiling broadly, “You’ve co to see our Manor Master, right?”
“Yes.”
“Please follow .”
He was led to the pavilion in the backyard.
From afar, he saw Lu Qianyu sitting in the pavilion, quietly enjoying tea.
Then, she turned her head and saw Guan Tianjun.
“Sit down.”
“Do you know why I ca?”
Lu Qianyu nodded slightly, “Speak directly.”
“Lu Chuan is in my mansion.”
“And then?”
“I can cooperate with you.”
Lu Qianyu smiled faintly, “You’re quite aware.
How will you cooperate?”
“Follow your commands.”
Lu Qianyu raised a hand and patted his face, “Very obedient.
Go back then, and when the ti cos, just cooperate with .”
“Nothing… else to say?”
“That’s all, just wait for the day I take action.”
“Okay, understood.”
Guan Tianjun stood up and left the pavilion.
