Lu Zhang didn't expect Yan Shu's reaction to be so intense. Startled, he hesitated about whether he should speak up to dissuade her. Seeing that Zhu Yu had already stepped in to stop Yan Shu from taking any further extreme actions, he quietly sighed in relief and didn't move, though he did glance at her a few more times with concern.
Luckily, Lu Yan, the only one among them kept in the dark, had a temper that couldn't be contained, so he didn't find anything improper about Yan Shu's actions. In fact, if it weren't for Lu Qing being nearby, forcing him to hold his temper, Lu Yan would very much like to beat up that old scoundrel himself.
Back then, driven by anger and impulsively beheading all the "Jie Country bandits" they captured, he suffered severe punishment and even had to bear the blame for deliberately silencing them to help co-conspirators hide the truth.
In the end, all these things were orchestrated by just a bunch of mountain bandits. How could this not infuriate him?
