Chapter 981: The Intruding Chess Piece

Chapter 981

A surname Lu…

Li Xingzai furrowed his brows. A defeat or two these days didn't mean much to Li Xingzai. The situation was different now, and he had the confidence; he could afford to lose.

But defeating Ma Mengqi within ten moves was somewhat terrifying. Ma Mengqi was Li Xingzai's foremost general, and to defeat him with ease sent shivers down the spine upon careful consideration.

Yet, there was no famous general with the surname Lu in Li Xingzai's memory. He thought hard, but neither the Rong Clan nor the Empire had ever mentioned one.

Could it be someone from Liangzhou…

Cheng Dalei always had some unexpected tricks up his sleeve. If it indeed was his doing, it wouldn't surprise anyone.

Even Li Xingzai couldn't fathom that his guess was incredibly close to the truth.
