Chapter 64 Remuneration according to work, the sigh of King Wu
After listening to the president/master's scolding, everyone in the courtyard was eager to give it a try even though they didn't have any handy weapons in their hands.
But the next moment, before they could take action, the two men in black robes, one on the left and the other on the right, turned into two strong winds coming from the ground. Two almost identical blades of light soared into the sky at the same time, creating waves of blood.
Layers upon layers of mountains, eighteen cuts—flying streams around the mountain!
Most of the guests who came to have a wedding banquet did not bring any weapons. Even if they carried some daggers and short knives, they would not be of any use against these two terrifying long knives.
In the blink of an eye, two tornado-like blades of light struck the hall, leaving behind a slaughterhouse of flesh and blood.
There were more than a hundred people in the courtyard, but no one could withstand even a single move.
In fact, the speed of the two people's transformation was astonishing. With one swing of the nearly seven-foot-long sword, they quickly moved in an arc in accordance with their body shape. Each sword cut off an average of three or four heads. It was simply faster than mowing grass.
Come on, no one, including the more than 30 key players of the Black Snake Club, can dodge a knife.
Although there were a lot of people in the yard, under such killings, a mere hundred people were simply not enough for them to kill.
Wang Long's feet were so frightened that two sword lights rolled in front of him, one on the left and one on the right. He did not have the courage to fight to the death with the sword.
He had seen a lot of killing and being killed, but how had he ever seen such a method of killing like a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood?
This is not the killing method of people in the Jianghu at all, but the military swordsmanship that requires forcibly cutting a bloody path in a dense military formation.
What's more, despite these years of pampering, although he has not put down his kung fu, Wang Long is no longer the young man who fought desperately in the past.
Two sword lights swept past.
Until the last moment, Wang Long did not dare to swing the long knife in his hand, and he was cut into seven or eight pieces of rotten flesh before he could even say a word of mercy.
In the hall, several agile warriors had already rushed into the back hall, leaving only a pale young man in front of the wine table.
The man sat motionless and saw the light of the knife coming towards the ground, shouting loudly: "My father is——"
The swords flashed left and right, and the young man and the table were cut into pieces.
The sword light faded away, and two men in black robes appeared.
Lu Wu asked: "What did he say just now?"
"I didn't hear you clearly, but he must not be a good person to appear here." Qiutong said.
"That's right. I wonder how Hongmei and the others were intercepting and killing them outside. Did they kill them all?" Lu Wu said.
Lu Wu always felt a little uncomfortable even if he didn't kill everyone - people who engage in art have some obsessive-compulsive disorder that strives for perfection.
When Lu Wu was on Earth, he was also an outstanding student graduating from the Academy of Fine Arts.
"Master, the green bamboos are holding bows and arrows at a high place, and the red plums and golden chrysanthemums are blocking the back door. They can't escape. We'd better find the property first. We can't help the Chu Kingdom in vain - we have to get some reward."

Wu State, Songjing.
After the Songjing Rebellion, King Ketu of Wu ascended to the throne of King Wu with many dangers. The government affairs of the court were complicated, and it was extremely nerve-wracking to deal with them. However, despite his busy schedule, he still asked about Lu Wu.
"Where is Doctor Jinwu now?" Ketu raised his head from the desk and rubbed his neck.
"Doctor Jinwu has already crossed Lanshui and is currently in the area of Nanhe City." Attendant Lin Zhong replied.
Lin Zhong is an old man in the Yuan Mansion, the son of the Young Master. In addition, his father Lin Ji has been promoted to General Wuwei, and is responsible for the two commanders of Shui Xiaowei and Shesheng Xiaowei. Therefore, he is placed beside him to show his importance. Now Lin Zhong is responsible for screening the military.
Intelligence is similar to a special secretary in a secretarial team.
"Why haven't you caught up with Doctor Jinwu yet?" Wu Wang Ketu frowned and asked.
What he was talking about was that the King of Wu's court sent several elite veterans to Lu Wu to take care of Lu Wu's daily affairs, and at the same time ensure that Lu Wu was not recruited by other countries - that would be a huge loss.
"Doctor Jinwu traveled very quickly. When our people arrived at the Lanshui Ferry, they had already crossed the river. It is said that Dr. Jinwu fought a battle with the Chu navy on the river and sank a Chu warship - now there is Lan
We are separated by water, so the news hasn't come back yet, but they must be by Dr. Jin Wu's side at this moment."
Lin Zhong said.
He is Lu Wu's brother-in-law, but since King Ketu of Wu calls Lu Wu Doctor Jinwu, he naturally cannot say, "What about my brother-in-law?"
"How did the Lu family react?" Wu Wang Ketu asked.
"Uncle Lu sent Jiao Heng, the leader of the family, to chase Dr. Jin Wu, but Jiao Heng has not yet crossed the water."
However, this news was not reported from the military intelligence channel, but from my wife.
Lu Wu sneaked away without saying a word, which really messed up Lu Jinhe's plan and made Lu Jinhe furious.
But everyone ran away, and Lu Jinhe had no choice but to send people to chase him - they still had no information about King Wu, and by the time they confirmed that Lu Wu was heading towards Chu, more than a week had passed.
(This news was revealed privately to the Lu family by Wu Wang Ketu’s order.)
"Do you think Dr. Jin Wu will come back?" Ke Tu asked.
Lin Zhong thought about it carefully before replying: "I don't know."
Lin Zhong was actually not optimistic that Lu Wu would come back. At least in the short term, the chance of Lu Wu coming back was slim.
"Oh, if I had known this, why did I do it in the first place?" Ketu sighed, feeling a little regretful.
What is this!
Who would have thought that a beautiful thing like marriage and promotion could actually force someone to run away.
After Lu Wu rubbed oil on his feet, Ke Tu missed Lu Wu even more.
As soon as he ascended the throne, he found that handling state affairs was much more difficult than he imagined. Although he was mentally prepared, when he actually sat in this position, he realized that even the King of Wu needed to be powerful to promote policies.
Apart from anything else, all countries in the Central Plains have basically achieved centralization of power, and the power of the nobility has been greatly weakened. The local nobility basically only retains the power to obtain wealth from the territory, and military and judicial power have been nationalized.
However, the local nobles of Wu State were very powerful, so the royal court could not station troops in the nobles' private territories, let alone interfere with the territorial justice.
Now that there is a threat from the Chu State outside and many local nobles inside, the position of King of Wu is not so easy to occupy.
If Lu Wu was still there, Ketu would have the confidence to bargain with the local nobles and take back some of his power.
It is impossible to achieve the goal in one step, so a big fight will definitely be required.
But small progress is still possible.
If the royal court takes a step forward, the local nobles will take a step back.
This depends on strength comparison and timing.
In small-scale battles in local areas, with Lu Wu taking action, it can be devastating, and the problem will definitely be solved before the situation escalates - this is a great advantage.
Unless there is a complete break-up and all the local nobles in Wu State unite to rebel, it will definitely be a small-scale rebellion by individual nobles. As long as it can be suppressed in time, it will not lead to a major chaos.
And more importantly, Lu Wu is incredibly lazy and has no ambition at all, so there is no need to worry about him causing trouble.
