Peng Cheng insisted on being the Great General, and he also needed the orders from the Feng King Tang Yin. Ye Xiang and Yu Ting couldn't make this decision, so they could only return to report back to Lu She with no results.

After hearing Peng Cheng's conditions, Lu She frowned, he was merely a mere County Head, to think that his own side would actually want to be a Great General, it was truly like a lion giving an offer!

However, the King had already spoken, as long as Peng Cheng's condition was met, they would fulfil all of his requests. He would first rope in, and then, as long as Peng Cheng gave in, the decision would be in their hands.

From Lu She's point of view, he could agree to this condition, but it would be difficult to get the King's decree. It was not because Tang Yin would not give this order, but that he would be delayed for too long. The Yan City was more than just a thousand miles away from the Cangping, even if someone was to ride a horse at a fast pace, it would still take more than half a month to send the order to the Cangping.

After thinking about it, and considering it again and again, Lu She still felt that asking the King to issue an order was a little unrealistic.

He asked Ye Xiang and Yu Ting if they could confirm whether his choice to turn the tables on Peng Cheng was real or fake through their interactions with him, and whether the condition he proposed was out of sincerity or just to make things difficult for them.

When Ye Xiang and Yu Ting's opinions reached this point, they all thought that Peng Cheng's intention to submit and the conditions he raised were all from the bottom of his heart. Ye Xiang was not a human, towards his words, Lu She would definitely believe him, but Yu Ting was a Wind Man and one of his direct subordinates, so his words could not be fake. Since Ye Xiang and Yu Ting thought that Peng Cheng surrendering was not a lie, then, this matter should not be wrong.

After careful consideration, Lu She decided to take the risk and personally make a trip to the Sishui County to recruit Peng Cheng. Lu She was a man of wind, he was also one of the trusted ministers of the Feng King Tang Yin. In a sense, he could represent Tang Yin.

Even without Tang Yin's orders, he would be able to express the attitude of his Feng Country on this matter. He believed that his sincerity would definitely move Peng Cheng.

It was not that Lu She was not careful when he did things, but he was still too careless this time.

After knowing that Lu She was going to visit the Sishui County personally, the Left Premier Fan Shan and Censors Feng Yuandong came together to advise him not to take the risk so easily.

If someone else was useful, Lu She would not have to face danger himself. He refused Fan Shan and Feng Yuandong's good intentions and even confidently comforted the two, telling them not to worry about him.

To make a long story short, Lu She brought over twenty outstanding hanger-ons and guards, disguised as a Mo Country merchant, and quietly left the Cangping, heading towards the Sishui County. But just as he was about to go to the Sishui County, Peng Cheng was in trouble.

It was not that Peng Cheng reneged on his promise, but rather, Shao Fang had sent the northwest Inspector to quietly arrive Sishui County. Sishui County were an important place in the Mo Country, how could they not have eyes and ears for the imperial government?

Peng Cheng had the intention to turn the tables on the New Mo Country, and frequently came into contact with the envoys sent by the New Mo Country. This was a serious matter, so the Mo Country Court hurriedly sent a message to Shao Fang, who was at the Zhen Country, to make the decision.

Shao Fang received the news and became furious. He returned back to the Zhenjiang and appointed his trusted aide, Wei Bo, as the Northwest Inspector, to head to the Sishui County to investigate if Peng Cheng had any ulterior motives.

Wei Bo's background was the same as Ji Wei's, who was also Shao Fang's trusted aide. They had all been his hanger-ons in the past, but Wei Bo's ability was far above Ji Wei's. This person had a calculating mind and was very shrewd. Although he appeared to be easy-going on the surface, there were actually sabers hidden in his laughter that hurt others.

He completely carried the style of an official old master, living in the County Head Palace. Every day, he would pull Peng Cheng down to have a meal, play with him, and have him relax his guard. In the shadows, Wei Bo would send people to secretly investigate Peng Cheng while he took over the command of the Tong Xia Army.

He was the Northwest Inspector, which was equivalent to an official sent by the imperial government. With the secret order that Shao Fang gave him, it was simply too easy to make those trusted generals who were not Peng Cheng's subordinates to listen to his orders.

It could be said that Wei Bo had unknowingly taken over most of the defending troops of the Provincial Capital during his daily meal and play. Regarding this matter, Peng Cheng was completely unaware, and Lu She, who was currently making his way to Tong Xia, was even more clueless.

After a short while, Lu She arrived in Tong Xia, sneaked into the city, and rushed straight to County Head Palace. When he arrived at the entrance of the County Head Palace, he told the guard at the entrance to go in and report that a merchant from the north had come to request a meeting with the County Head.

There had been a lot of 'merchants' who had come from the north during this time, and the guards were used to it. After hearing everything, they did not take it seriously and swaggered back to their homes to report to Peng Cheng.

At this time, Peng Cheng was drinking and dancing with Wei Bo in the hall. When he suddenly heard that a merchant from the north had come to seek an audience, his heart trembled and the smile on his face stiffened for a few seconds. Then, he cupped his hands towards Wei Bo who was sitting in the middle of the seat of honor and smiled.

Wei Bo held his wine cup, looked at him with a smile, and asked: "What? What else does Senior Peng have that you can't let this official know? "

Hearing that, Peng Cheng's face changed, without waiting for him to reply, Wei Bo laughed out loud. He waved his hand and said: "I was just joking, Master Peng don't take it seriously, if there is anything important, quickly go do it, I am not a three year old child, I have long passed the age of having someone to accompany me, haha ~"

Whoosh! Peng Cheng secretly heaved a sigh of relief. Fortunately, Wei Bo was a useless person, otherwise, he would be in danger today. He also laughed out loud, cupped his hands and shook his head, "Sir Wei is such a joker, excuse me for a moment, I'll drink to my heart's content with you later!"

"Good, good, good! Go ahead and do what you need to do! " Wei Bo drank wine as he eyed the dancers below lecherously.

Peng Cheng sneered in his heart, and got up to leave. When he left the great hall, he immediately ordered the Subordinate to bring the person to his study room, where he waited.

Not long after, Lu She brought his two most trusted aides to the entrance of the study, and with the guidance of the servants of the County Head Palace, he knocked the door and entered.

Peng Cheng, who was in the room, looked up and down as she walked in, feeling that something was amiss, with his hands behind her back, she asked: "Sir, do you claim to be a merchant from the north?"

"More accurately ?" Lu She smiled and leisurely said: "This humble one is from the Cangping of the north."2

Peng Cheng's heart was moved, it was indeed Shao Jun's group. He squinted his eyes and waved towards Lu She, saying: "Sir, please take a seat!"

Lu She didn't hold back, he casually picked a seat and sat down. His two trusted aides stood to the left and right of him.

Peng Cheng said: "Last time, I spoke with Brother Ye and Brother Yu very clearly. I believe that you have brought the thing that this official wants, right?"

"Not really." Lu She shook his head with a smile and said bluntly: "Master should be well aware that the Yan City is thousands of kilometers away from the Cangping. Once we go there, we will have to travel for nearly two months.

Hearing that, Peng Cheng's face immediately darkened, and said coldly: "Since you did not bring the thing I wanted, then why have you come here? I do not have that much time to waste with you and your nonsense. As he spoke, he stood up and prepared to leave.

But now, unlike in the past, because Wei Bo was in the palace, even the people who knew him personally took huge risks, yet the other party treated their interactions with him as a normal occurrence, so how could he not be angry in his heart?

Seeing that he was about to leave, Lu She raised a hand to stop him, and said faintly: "Master Peng, there's no need to be anxious.

Peng Cheng who was already walking forward withdrew his steps, and looked at the average appearance of the middle aged man in front of him again. After looking for a good while, he asked suspiciously: "Excuse me, may I ask who you are?"

Lu She straightened his body and spoke word by word with a stern expression, "Feng Country Scholar, Northern Mo Palace's Right Prime Minister, Lu She."

Hearing the name Lu She, Peng Cheng sucked in a cold breath and stared at him. He stood in his original position for a long time, unable to come back to his senses. He, of course, had heard of Lu She's name. He was the Right Prime Minister of the New Mo Country, and at the same time, was a first-rate Grand Scholar, one of Feng King Tang Yin's trusted aides. Lu She was right, although he did not bring the order from the Feng King, his coming personally, was enough to show the sincerity the Feng King had for him.

After an unknown period of time, Peng Cheng finally woke up from his shock, he anxiously took two steps forward and bowed deeply towards Lu She, and said with a trembling voice: "I don't know if it's Lu Da ?"

Before he could finish speaking, suddenly, he heard a loud bang from the door, and was kicked away from the outside. Then, Wei Bo walked in under the watch of all the guards.

Seeing that both Lu She and Peng Cheng were shocked, Wei Bo laughed out loud and said, "I was wondering who was the person that came to visit the County Head Palace today. Turns out it's the Master Lu, the northwest Inspector of this official Mo Country, Wei Bo, I didn't get the chance to welcome you."

Wasn't he drinking? Why did he come here? At this time, Peng Cheng's head buzzed and he almost fainted on the spot.

His legs went weak and he uncontrollably fell to the ground. His eyes opened wide as he looked at Wei Bo in disbelief and stuttered, "Wei, Master Wei, you ? You must not misunderstand, this official ? This official is... "Yes ?"

His words were incoherent and he could not continue the conversation. On the other hand, Wei Bo walked over to him with a smile, and gently supported him up as he said in a pleasant tone: "Master Peng, you've suffered too much, in order to catch this big fish from the enemy, Master Peng has endured the humiliation and begged for help, it can be said that you're my pillar. When we return to the Zhenjiang, I will definitely report your merits to the King, and ask for the King to reward you handsomely!"

He only came back to his senses after a while, and subconsciously turned to look at Lu She. At this time, the latter was looking at him, and his eyes looked like they were about to spew fire, and two of his followers beside him had also unsheathed their swords, as if they would pounce towards him at any time and tear him into pieces.
