Travel through troubled times and escape famine with the system

Chapter 404 Calling Lu Yi

It is definitely not possible to transfer troops.

The Wu Kingdom has an extremely strict system for troop movement. Let alone an entire army, even a battalion, is guilty of the crime of exterminating nine generations of their family if they want to leave their garrison without cause.

However, everyone clearly underestimated the peculiarity of Lu You's thought process.

Less than fifteen minutes after Zuo Yunfeng finished his joke about mobilizing troops, Lu You stopped moving.

Why are we sneaking away?

Lu You stopped and looked at Duanmu Rong beside her, asking.

Duanmu Rong looked at Lu You with some confusion: "We're being chased!"

"Who's chasing us?" Lu You continued.

"Second Prince," Zuo Yunfeng said in a low voice, "Lu You, did you lose your brain along with your embarrassing moment just now...?"

Before Zuo Yunfeng could finish speaking, Lu You stomped hard on his instep.

"hiss……"

"You guys chat, I'm going to rest over there!"

Zuo Yunfeng gritted his teeth and said, then hopped away, clutching his left foot.

Lu You reached into her storage space and took out the jade pendant that Wu Quanwen had given her.

"When Wu Quanwen gave me this thing, he said it could be used to mobilize a thousand elite soldiers, right?"

"Uh..." Duanmu Rong looked at Lu You in surprise: "I guess so. We've never had this before, so we don't know if it's useful."

[Negative emotions from Duanmu Rong +40, +40...]

Lu You looked at Duanmu Rong curiously: "You don't seem to agree with what I'm doing?"

"Me?" Duanmu Rong sighed helplessly, "I do not really agree. After all, if we really mobilize a thousand soldiers to escort us, we can definitely ensure that we enter Pingzhou territory."

"But don't forget, although all the forces know you're alive now, you're dead in the open."

"By parading around like this, you will attract the attention of many powerful forces, which will cause you considerable trouble in the future."

Lu You looked at Duanmu Rong with great interest.

"Like you said, everyone knows I'm alive, so there's no point in us carefully disguising ourselves. Why should I hide?"

"As for being spied on and the trouble that may follow, do you think the Second Prince will stop targeting me if I don't flaunt my presence now?"

"What's wrong with you?"

Upon hearing this, Duanmu Rong smiled wryly and waved her hand: "Never mind, I don't care about your things. My mission is to safely deliver you to Wudu."

"Whether you set off with fanfare or disguise yourself and sneak away is none of my business."

"If you wish to lead troops to escort me, I will take you to the Yanzhou government office right now."

The group changed their route and headed to the government office. When Xie Qingsong, the prefect of Yanzhou, saw the jade pendant, he immediately received them with the highest honors without saying a word.

Xie Qingsong originally wanted to dispatch a thousand city garrison troops to escort them, but Lu You disagreed and specifically requested that the Yanzhou army escort them.

General He Hong of Yanzhou took most of the Yanzhou army to fight in Qingzhou, but left 5,000 soldiers to guard and suppress the enemy within the Yanzhou army camp.

Xie Qingsong tried to persuade her for a long time, but Lu You still insisted.

According to her, the city garrison and the state garrison were far inferior in combat effectiveness.

He didn't believe that the garrison commander of Yanzhou could be as strict in governing the army as Wen Chengjie.

Helpless, Xie Qingsong could only send someone with the jade pendant to mobilize troops.

After resting for a night, the group welcomed the soldiers of the Yanzhou army who had broken through the camp into the city early the next morning, and finally set off again.

Because Lu You used Wu Quanwen's troop-mobilization jade pendant, the Yanzhou army attached great importance to it.

Although this time they were using the banner of the Broken Army Camp, they actually sent a mixed battalion.

Shields, swords, spears, crossbows, and heavily armored cavalry were all available.

With such a combat force, let alone a few dozen warriors who want to assassinate Lu You, they could even directly defeat three to five thousand Jin soldiers in a head-on battle.

The second half of the journey in Yanzhou is now considered safe.

Lu You looked exhausted as she rode on her horse.

Zuo Yunfeng, who was standing next to Lu You, pulled on the reins and moved closer to her side.

Didn't sleep well last night?

"I can't sleep," Lu You said softly. "Xiao Yi is being chased, and I don't know how he is now."

"It's definitely nothing." Zuo Yunfeng chuckled and said, "The Second Prince captured Lu Yi because of you, you vixen."

“As long as you don’t show your face, Brother Lu Yi will be absolutely safe. After all, he is your bargaining chip.”

Lu You remained silent upon hearing this, but instead opened the system panel with her mind.

She experienced a wave of negative emotions because of yesterday's song and dance performance.

Even now, the guards still harbor resentment whenever they make eye contact with her.

Her points have once again surpassed the 50,000 mark.

Actually, when I was having dinner at the Yanzhou government office yesterday, my points had already reached 60,000.

But last night she spent 10,000 points to activate the skill: Echo!

The system's skill description: What you keep in mind will surely come to pass...

According to Lu You's guess, this skill should allow her to connect with the person she misses.

Lu You could manage to keep something in mind, but she couldn't understand what the echo really meant.

Last night, when she activated her skill, she was thinking of Lu Ming, who had already died.

Although the chances were slim, she still hoped that this skill could bring Lu Ming back to life.

After activating the skill, 10,000 points vanished into thin air, but nothing happened.

Lu You once mocked herself, saying that 10,000 points was just the price of a die, and that wanting to revive a living person was obviously a pipe dream.

Now, she plans to try again.

Although the items the system gives out each time are often bizarre, they are all absolutely useful.

If your points disappear without you receiving any feedback, it simply means you're using the wrong method.

According to Lu You's guess, this skill is likely a communication skill.

Similar to a telephone... it allows two people to talk to each other from a distance.

Or... one could spend 10,000 points to send a message into the other person's mind.

Last night I was thinking about Lu Ming, who is already dead, which is why I didn't get any feedback.

Thinking about Lu Yi now should trigger a reaction!

Echo...Activate!

With a slight thought, ten thousand points in the system balance evaporated.

Lu You closed her eyes and began to mutter to herself.

"Calling Lu Yi, calling Lu Yi, this is Second Sister, this is Second Sister, please respond if you receive this, please respond if you receive this!"

[Negative emotions from Zuo Yunfeng +80, +80...]

The two rode side by side, no more than two meters apart. Being a martial artist, Zuo Yunfeng could clearly hear Lu You's mutterings.

"Lu You, are you alright?" Zuo Yunfeng asked with concern.

Lu You didn't say anything, but simply raised her whip and lashed it across Zuo Yunfeng's warhorse.

The warhorse, startled and in pain, neighed and leaped out.

"Deer, I'll fight you to the death..."

Zuo Yunfeng shouted from afar, while Lu You remained true to herself and continued muttering to herself.

"Lu Yi, Lu Yi, this is Lu You, can you hear me..."
