Chapter 1005 - As Quiet As Snow

Chapter 1005: As Quiet As Snow
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
The Wei Wu Army suddenly set off without warning. Not many people had tools for long-range communication like Zhao Shuai, as it was very expensive.
Thus, not many people outside the palace knew what was happening.
When the Wei Wu Army packed up and prepared to go, the traveling businessmen were puzzled. If they were gone, who would they do business with? Zhang Weiyu replied that business would continue as usual. After all, they had employed people to manage the business.
Of course, the people they had employed were not very reliable. Thus, Zhang Weiyu ordered 100 people to stay behind. They could not completely leave the business behind. If not, when Lu Shu returned and realized that his business had collapsed, he would go out of control. According to Li Heitan, the soap factories were almost equal to the Great Lord’s life…
Some of the traveling businessmen panicked. They did not know what the Wei Wu Army was doing. It seemed as if they were going to run away.


Many traveling businessmen asked the Wei Wu Army what they were doing. But the Wei Wu Army’s answer was the same. They were going to eliminate the bandits!
The traveling businessmen almost collapsed on the spot. With their strength, they could defeat an entire army. But now, they were going to eliminate bandits? What had the bandits done in their previous lives?!
Not only were the traveling businessmen panicking, the North Region aristocrat armies fighting with the Black Feather Army at the border also panicked. When they received the news, the first thing they thought about was whether the Wei Wu Army was coming for them! If not, nothing in the vicinity needed the strength of the Wei Wu Army to handle, right?
The terror that the Wei Wu Army had struck in their hearts had not disappeared. Were they back for more?
Their commander was in the palace, right? What mischief were you going to cause this time?
Gradually, everyone realized that the Wei Wu Army was taking a strange path. They were going to the north! What were they going to do there?
But no matter what the Wei Wu Army wanted to do, the bandits that had to move moved, and the aristocrats who had to be alert were alert.
The Wei Wu Army did not bring any rations as they did not have invisible storage equipment. But what the Wei Wu Army had now was money…
In the past, the aristocrats would either cut their pay or oppress their economy. After all, no one was willing to spend too much money on an army as the Luniverse had been peaceful for a very long time. Wars had only occurred along the borders in the last decade. If the war had not reached them, why did they have to build an army?
But the Wei Wu Army was different. They were able to earn their own money. Furthermore, Zhang Weiyu, who handled the money, was with them.


Thus, no matter where the Wei Wu Army was, they could easily buy grains. Furthermore, they could buy them at a low price…
They had been in the soap business for such a long time that everyone forgot the Wei Wu Army’s origins as the bandits from Azure Dragon Village. Now, the Wei Wu Army had reminded them of this. It left a deep impression on them.
Every time they reached a city, they bought grains. The Wei Wu Army simply entered the granaries and bought the grains at cost price!
Who dared to not sell grains to them?
The heads of the city were speechless. If they sold the grain at cost price, they would not earn any profits. But if they did not sell their grains, they would be replaced…
Some cities sealed their entrances. But there were very few cities that were as impregnable as the palace. Although they closed their entrances, the Wei Wu Army was able to jump over the city walls. Would you be scared?
A quarter of the Wei Wu Army were Rank Twos. The rest were Rank Threes…
Furthermore, some realized that there was an army of mice rapidly crossing mountains. Everywhere they went, the tree branches were cleanly bitten off. Wild creatures definitely could not survive. A witness said that a white squirrel was controlling the army of mice. Everyone laughed. Squirrels and mice were different. How could a squirrel control mice?
But that night, someone dreamed about a white squirrel asking them whether they wanted to buy soap…
This was absurd, but the Wei Wu Army continued to travel at full speed amidst this absurdity. The first army who did not have to carry rations was born.


Some aristocrats wanted to declare war on the Wei Wu Army. But then they thought about it. First, they were allies. Furthermore, the Lord of Heaven, Wen Zaifou, favored this army. If they fought the Wei Wu Army and Wen Zaifou heard about it, someone would suffer.
Furthermore, with the Wei Wu Army’s strength, they were not sure whether they would be able to defeat them. Not only was the Wei Wu Army powerful, every single soldier had magical armor.
Lastly, the aristocrats gave it some more thought. They only wanted to buy grains. They would give them the grains…
But they were not willing to give in. Some went to the palace of the Lord of Heaven to seek Wen Zaifou. They immediately wailed,
Lord of Heaven, the Wei Wu Army is too much. Is there a need for them to travel so far away just to eliminate bandits?

The dragon on Wen Zaifou’s black ceremonial dress was very conspicuous. He sat on the throne in the hall and casually said,
Why don’t you replace them and eliminate the bandits? All of you are good-for-nothings. If you can’t even eliminate some bandits, how useful are you? The Wei Wu Army is helping you to eliminate the bandits. Shouldn’t you be grateful? And why have you come here to cry to me? What are you crying for?!

The aristocrats were speechless.
How biased! You had better cover that up!

Go away.
Wen Zaifou waved.
I’m frustrated looking at you people who are not willing to work hard. Hurry up and train. Do my armies recruit such useless people now?

The aristocrats left. They knew that compared to the rest of the Lords of Heaven, Wen Zaifou was the easiest to talk to. Typically, he did not care much. It was as if he did not care about his position as the Lord of Heaven.
There had been a rumor that Wen Zaifou did not want to be the Lord of Heaven, but the King of Gods chased him out.


After the aristocrats left, Wen Zaifou supported his head with his hands. He sat on the throne, thinking about something.
He suddenly said to the air,
You’re not willing to work hard either. Back then, I owed your father a favor. I gave you a big chance to return to his side, but you secretly came back. How can I say anything good about you?

Xu Mujun appeared. She calmly said,
He seems to have the ability to see through the intentions of others. I had this feeling after interacting with him for a long time. Furthermore, don’t you think that some things are very strange?


No.
Wen Zaifou pouted.
That ability is a natural gift. You have to get used to it.

The ability they were talking about was the ability to know the names of others.
When Lu Shu met Xu Mujun, she had not revealed her name. The people around her had not introduced her either. Furthermore, Xu Mujun had concealed her identity. She introduced herself as Wen Jun to the slave market!
But to Xu Mujun’s surprise, Lu Shu called her Xu Mujun!
Of course, what Xu Mujun was most surprised about was when she told Wen Zaifou about this. He was very happy, as if he had advanced to the Master Realm.
Wen Zaifou stood up and waved.
Fine. If you don’t want this opportunity, then forget it. Walk your own path.

Wen Zaifou then stepped into a void. Xu Mujun was alone in the hall. She could faintly hear Wen Zaifou talking to himself.
I have waited for so long. I don’t even know who the memorial to the throne was written by. It really is as quiet as snow.
