Chapter 198: Traitor



Seeing this, Lu Zhen nodded his head and began explaining the plan...

After a long hour, he looked at everyone, whose serious expressions had turned to pure shock, now wearing contemplative expressions.

However, there was one person whose expression was slightly twisted. While every grand elder was in contemplation, nobody noticed him except for Lu Zhen, whose eyes lit up.

"I found him," Lu Zhen thought as he said, "Alright, we will start the plan tomorrow, so get ready," he continued as everyone nodded their heads.

The dim light of the moon was already faintly visible from the camp.

"Rest up today."

"Yes, young master."

Everyone took their leave, but the eyes that once looked at Lu Zhen as a junior now regarded him with reverence.

....

After everyone left, Lu Zhen also expressionlessly departed. However, before he could reach his own tent, he was stopped by a flattering voice.

"Young master, please wait."

Lu Zhen's legs paused as he looked back to see a man in the traditional Lu family grand elder uniform. The man had a rather malnourished body, broken teeth, and a hunched back.

"What happened, Grand Elder Liao?" Lu Zhen said with a smile on his face.

"Young master, it is like this. Would you be kind enough to allow me to have a private talk with you?"

"It is my honour to invite Grand Elder Xiao to talk to me," Lu Zhen said humbly.

"Young master, I am not worthy." However, Lu Liao had a smile on his face as he thought, "Not bad, this kid isn't bad. If we were on the same side, he would definitely live. But now, he is the greatest threat to the Xia family."

"Please, young master."

Lu Zhen and Lu Liao went to a corner, facing each other in a standoff.

"So, what does the grand elder want to talk about?"

"Young master, there is a major flaw that needs to be addressed. Our rear will be open, so we will be needing forces there as well..."

Lu Zhen's eyes widened as if he was in realisation before he nodded his head.

"You are true, Grand Elder Liao," he acknowledged with realisation. Then he asked, "So, what do you suggest we do?"

"Young master, we need to achieve victory over them quickly, so I suggest a swift and decisive victory," Lu Liao proposed.

"Yes, I do know that much, but what can we do about it?" Lu Zhen said with an expressionless face.

"Young master, I have an opinion. I wonder if you would like to accept it or not," Lu Liao said with a hesitating expression, as if he was uncertain, and there was a hint of fear in his eyes.

"Grand Elder Liao, I am open to any suggestion."

"Then..."

"Please don't hesitate at this crucial time and tell me the plan. I promise you, as long as the plan is feasible, it will be considered." Lu Zhen quered with a righteous expression.

"Very well then, young master." However, Grand Elder Liao didn't directly reveal the plan; instead, he asked a question. "Young master, how certain are you of killing Xia Jia?"

"Hmm, from my estimation, I have a thirty percent chance to kill him, and that too if he lets his guard down," Lu Zhen said with a bitter expression on his face.

Upon hearing this, Grand Elder Liao's expression turned relieved as he proposed, "Then, young master, how about you move forward first and kill Lu Liao before the battle even starts, catching him off guard?"

"This Grand Elder..."

"Young master, that bastard Xia Jiao wouldn't expect you coming after him even before the war starts, which will give us an advantage over him. We can swiftly end the battle with the Xia family and intercept the Huang family," Lu Liao said with a serious expression.

"Hmm," Lu Zhen closed his eyes, his face full of wrinkles, as if he was deep in thought.

A sneer appeared on Lu Liao's face when he saw the thoughtful expression of Lu Zhen, but it quickly turned serious again.

"You are right, Elder Liao," Lu Zhen nodded. "Then I will attack Xia Jiao before the battle, catching him off-guard," he said with a determined expression.

"Thank you, young master, for considering my suggestion, but your life will be in danger if you do so..."

"Don't worry, Elder Liao. I know why you were hesitating, but for the Lu family, I must do it," Lu Zhen said, his eyes glinting with a fierce light.

"I will inform the other grand elders about the plan," Lu Zhen said as he turned back. However, Lu Liao quickly stopped him.

"Eh, what happened, Grand Elder Liao?"

"Young master, I will be honest with you. I suspect there is a traitor among the grand elders, so I wouldn't recommend it."

"How do you know, Grand Elder?" Lu Zhen said curiously.

"Young master, when the Xia ancestor came down to the ground, our location was instantly revealed, and he especially chose the strongest elder almost instantly and attacked the two. That is sufficient information to suspect there is a traitor."

Lu Zhen's eyes widened again when he heard this. "If that's true, Grand Elder, then we must confront the traitor. Let's arrange a meeting of all the grand elders right away."

"No wait, young master. If we arrange a meeting, the spy will definitely be alerted and will stay in hiding. If there was no traitor, there will be an air of suspicion when we fight the battle, which may lead to disastrous consequences."

"Then what do you suggest we do, Grand Elder Liao?" Lu Zhen said with a confused expression.

"We must be silent about this," Lu Liao said in a casual tone.

"Very well, Grand Elder," Lu Zhen nodded his head.
