It was only one sentence, but the military exploits noted behind it were enough for Lu Yu to be directly promoted from centurion to general!
No one doubts that this military achievement is fake, because the person who awarded this military achievement was Di Zhan, Minister of War!
Back then, it was Di Zhan who came to the lower realm and accepted Xu Guizong as his disciple.
Like Shenwei Hou Xu Guizong, he is a powerful person at the realm lord level and a top being in the imperial court.
Lu Yu was not reckless, but went to the War Merit Hall to inquire first.
It turns out that Pei Tianguang offended many people when he was an official.
The Shaoqing of Dali Temple was a fourth-rank official. It stands to reason that if he returned home, he should have been in a state of splendor, accompanied by numerous carriages and horses.
But just because he offended someone he shouldn't have offended, he still had to be wary of being assassinated even if he just returned home.
"Who did Pei Tianguang offend to end up like this?" Lu Yu frowned.
The waiter at the War Merit Hall laughed and said: "Who else can I offend? He is not a good official, but he wants to provoke the Xu family? Haha, if he hadn't had some friendship with Di Shangshu, he would have died before leaving the imperial capital."
Xu family?
Lu Yu frowned, it was the Xu family again.
The waiter at the War Hall continued: "Back then, there was a young master from the Xu family who forcibly occupied the properties of several wealthy businessmen. When those wealthy businessmen sued the imperial capital, no yamen were prepared to take over. Unexpectedly, Pei Tianguang was ignorant of current affairs and actually took this young master.
Row him away and behead him if asked."
"Haha, even the young master of the Xu family dared to kill Pei Tianguang. Of course, this Pei Tianguang will not end well. He couldn't stay in the court any longer, so he prepared to retire. But when he left, the guards around him seemed to be threatened by something.
They all deserted him."
"Although Di Shangshu is a good friend with him, the deterrent of the Xu family is there after all. At least he indirectly assigned a task to protect Pei Tianguang. However, it is said that the Xu family has sent assassins from the Assassination Hall to take Pei Tianguang's head. Who will take it?
If I take this mission, I’m afraid it won’t end well.”
The waiter clicked his tongue: "Not only is it dangerous, but it will also offend the Xu family. This is a hot potato that only a few lunatics who are barefoot and not afraid of wearing shoes dare to take. Others will not take it."
Lu Yu thought for a moment and continued to ask: "Is there any mission with a higher reward than its combat achievements?"
The waiter shook his head: "Of course not. This is a mission personally assigned by Di Shangshu, and his military achievements are naturally not comparable to other missions."
Lu Yu said: "Okay, I will take over this task."
This Pei Tianguang dared to face the Xu family without fear, and Lu Yu would certainly not ignore him.
Moreover, in Emperor Taigan's memory, Pei Tianguang was the top pick in the imperial examinations personally chosen by Emperor Taigan. Lu Yu still knew about his talent.
Lu Yu wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to take Pei Tianguang under his command.
The waiter was stunned for a moment, then looked at Lu Yu suspiciously: "Are you sure that if you want to take on this task? If you want to take on this task, you must hand over a deposit of one million fairy stones."
The deposit is also directly linked to the combat merit obtained from the mission.
If the task fails to be completed, the one million deposit will not be refunded.
Lu Yu took out the banknote directly and placed it in front of the waiter.
"Someone actually took over this mission!"
"Who is it? Is this life-threatening?"
When the people around heard this, they all gathered around and looked at Lu Yu curiously.
However, several people couldn't help being surprised when they saw that Lu Yu was just a little centurion.
