Zhou Li's movements could not be concealed from Lu Ju behind Lu Dai.

When Lu Ju saw Zhou Li's face was cold and stern, and he seemed to have someone to rely on in his arms, a chill suddenly rose up in his body.

In order to prevent Lu Dai from being in danger, the panicked Lu Zhi stepped forward and hugged Lu Dai, crying and admonishing him:

"Father, take the edict quickly, take the edict quickly!"

Lu Zheng's strong reaction attracted the attention of other Wu generals.

Seeing Lu Ju being so panicked and seeing something else in Zhou Yi's arms, they, who had been in the political arena for a long time, suddenly had a suspicion in their minds.

As a result, several Wu generals who were loyal to Lu Dai quickly stepped forward to join the team crying and admonishing Lu Dai.

But as Sun Quan said, the more than 20,000 elite soldiers are not Lu Dai's private property.

Most of the other Wu generals followed Lu Dai because of Lu Xun's orders.

To them, their loyalty was to Sun Quan.

Although they also guessed what Zhou Li relied on, their reaction was clearly on Zhou Li's side.

They gradually put their hands on the knife handles at their waists.

Most of Wu's generals' actions could not be hidden from Lu Ju, who had been observing the situation.

Seeing this situation, Lu Zheng was almost frightened out of his wits.

"Father!"

It was too late, but it was too late. Lu Zhi, who was in a hurry, directly pressed Lu Dai's body with his hands and knelt down to Zhou Li:

"Messenger, the general has accepted the order!"

Lu Zhi kept repeating this sentence.

Lu Ju's words did not make Zhou Li relax his vigilance.

What he wants is Lu Dai's answer!

Zhou Li's eyes were always focused on Lu Dai, and Lu Dai finally recovered from his sadness under Lu Zhi's actions.

Lu Dai raised his eyes and looked at Zhou Li in front of him, and then at the many old generals around him who had fear in their eyes. He had never thought of betraying Sun Quan, so what choice did he have now?

Under the tense gaze of everyone, Lu Dai stretched out his hands sadly and said: "My lord, accept the imperial edict!"

These three simple words seemed to have exhausted all the energy in Lu Dai's body.

After saying these three words, Lu Dai's body softened and fell directly to the ground.

When Lu Ju saw this, he felt anxious again.

After hearing Lu Dai's words in accepting the imperial edict, Zhou Li secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Although he could directly capture Lu Dai with the secret edict in his arms, such a development would not maximize his interests.

Now that Lu Dai can be forced by strong pressure, the best result is to directly accept the imperial edict.

Now that the goal had been achieved, Zhou Li felt some pity in his heart when he looked at Lu Dai who was dizzy on the ground.

If he remembered correctly, Lu Dai would be nearly seventy this year.

It is understandable that he is weak due to his aging body and the mental trauma he suffered today.

But very quickly, Zhou Li used his reason to dispel his sympathy for Lu Dai in his heart.

He is almost seventy, and instead of taking care of himself at home, he goes out to fight against Da Sima.

To be too old to die is to be a thief!

Zhou Li knelt down halfway, looked at Lu Zhi in front of him, and said softly to him:

"I cannot disobey His Majesty's orders.

I have helped everyone I just helped, and from now on, it will all depend on their own destiny."

After saying these words with a sigh, Zhou Li stood up and walked outside.

Zhou Li's words made Lu Zhi look grateful to him in his eyes.

Indeed, Zhou Li helped everything he needed to.

But what Lu Zhi didn't know was that the moment Zhou Yi turned around to look at Zhou Yi, a cheerful smile appeared on his face.

This kind of pleasure of being in a cunning place and manipulating the wind and clouds secretly made Zhou Li seem to have discovered a new meaning in life.

After Zhou Li left, most of the Wu generals who knew that Lu Dai had fallen out of favor, perhaps to avoid suspicion or to please the new rich, followed Zhou Li's footsteps and walked out of Lu Dai's tent.

Soon after, only a few of Lu Dai's confidants were left in the entire spacious tent.

When the dizzy Lu Dai saw this scene, he was so excited that he fainted.

"Father, father..."

In the big tent, Lu Ju's screams were constantly echoing.

Desolate and helpless.

...

Not sure how much time had passed, Lu Dai slowly opened his eyes and looked at everything familiar and unfamiliar around him.

Familiar because he is in his own sleeping tent.

It was strange because, compared to the past when the stars held the moon, he only saw Lu Zhi when he opened his eyes.

"Father, how long have you been unconscious?"

Lu Dai's voice was dry and weak.

After hearing Lu Dai's inquiry, Lu Ju quickly replied:

"Nearly a day."

I didn't expect that I had been unconscious for so long.

After Lu Dai sighed, he asked Lu Judao again:

"During my father's coma, did any generals come to visit my father?"

When Lu Dai asked this question, the sad look on Lu Ju's face could no longer be suppressed.

In order not to make Lu Dai sad, Lu Zheng could only say tactfully:

"Ziyu has been here before."

Although Lu Zheng was thinking about Lu Dai's health, Lu Dai saw through Lu Zheng's unfinished words at a glance.

Lu Dai asked about the generals, but Lu Ju answered Zhou Li.

This shows that many generals have never come to visit him.

After understanding what Lu Ju meant, Lu Dai's face was full of bitterness, and he couldn't help coughing violently.

"As a general of an army, I fainted but no subordinates came to see me.

This shows that I have long been unpopular with the generals.

In this situation, and with my current physical condition, how should our army fight against the Han army?"

As Lu Dai spoke, he patted the edge of the couch under him with his hands to express his anger and unwillingness.

Lu Dai is not a vain person. He asked Lu Ju that question just because he wanted to know whether he could still be loved by the generals.

Then Lu Dai's eyes focused on the book table not far away.

Lu Dai saw that there were many official documents on the desk. He pointed at the official documents curiously and asked Lu Judao:

"Why were those official documents sent?"

Could it be that something big happened in the camp while he was unconscious?

Seeing Lu Dai looking at those official documents, Lu Zhi, knowing that he could no longer hide the truth, could only say sadly:

"Those official documents were sent by the generals in the camp, requesting the general to send troops immediately."

According to Lu's words, it struck Lu Dai like a thunderbolt from the blue.

It is impossible for the generals in the camp not to know about Lu Dai's fainting.

But knowing that Lu Dai was ill, they did not want Lu Dai to rest more. They only thought that it would be best for Lu Dai to lead them to send troops as soon as he woke up.

Lu Dai couldn't bear it anymore. He stretched out his hand and threw the medicine in Lu Ju's hand to the ground.

"I want them to live, but they want to die!"

After shouting this sentence, the excited Lu Dai couldn't stop coughing again.

This made Lu Dai anxious. He didn't know whether to bring the soup and medicine first or to help Lu Dai lie down first.

When Lu Ju was at a loss, Lu Dai grabbed his hand:

"Go and secretly summon the cronies."
