After passing through Shuo Land, Zhu Yu felt much relieved in her heart. What she was most worried about was her own father, fearing his incompetence. Now, seeing him and Zhu Feng full of spirit in governing Shuo Land, and as agreed, guarding the border of Shuo Land tightly, she breathed a sigh of relief.
Since there were no problems in Shuo Land, next ahead was Qu State where Lu Yan was stationed. Zhu Yu was even less worried, as she had witnessed how Lu Yan treated Lu Qing in Lan Country before.
Sure enough, when they arrived in Qu State, Lu Qing took Zhu Yu straight to Lu Yan's camp. There, they saw Prince Xuan in high spirits, drilling his troops.
Upon seeing Lu Qing and Zhu Yu, Lu Yan was also very happy. He immediately ordered preparations for wine, saying he wanted to drink to his heart's content with his brother.
However, this was of course refused by Lu Qing.
