Guo Yingjie quickly agreed. Being able to save a small life was already an extrajudicial mercy for him.
Everyone from the Divine Feathers Sect left in dejection.
This is the power of the Governor of Luoshui.
He didn't take any action. With just one word, he forced Guo Yingjie to abandon his cultivation.
After Guo Yingjie left, Li Longqing turned his attention to Lu Yu.
"Which army are you from?" Li Longqing asked patiently, but his eyes were looking up and down at Lu Yu, filled with excitement.
Lu Yu had just experienced two battles, and his whole body was extremely weak. Now he couldn't use any magic power. Even an ordinary monk could kill Lu Yu.
But even so, Lu Yu still straightened his back and did not grovel at all because of the other party's status as governor.
"This subordinate is the one hundred captain of Uncle Lei Jing's tent, Henry Zhang!" Lu Yu's voice was neither humble nor arrogant.
"Centurion? It turns out you are Xia Houli's subordinate. Judging from your strength, I am afraid you can be compared with the general. Under Lei Jingbo, you are really a hidden dragon and a crouching tiger."
Li Longqing said directly: "You are just a small centurion under his command. Why don't you follow me? I can ask the court for merit with you and make you a general. What do you think?"
This temptation is simply irresistible.
If Lu Yu really agrees, he is likely to become the youngest general in the Yu court.
Even some of the sergeants around him looked at Lu Yu with envy.
You know, the governor of Luoshui, Li Longqing, is famous for his strict standards for judging people.
Being promoted by him in such an exceptional way shows how much he values Lu Yu.
Lu Yu thought for a moment, then raised his hand and said, "Uncle Lei Jing has shown his kindness to his subordinates, and I will not betray his trust. Lord Governor, you'd better hire someone else."
What?
Everyone present was stunned, not expecting Lu Yu to give such an answer.
If he was being deliberately modest, it would be easier to refuse. But Lu Yu's words left no chance at all.
This was a personal solicitation from the governor of one side, and Lu Yu actually refused.
Li Longqing shook his head and sighed: "It's a pity that I still don't have this blessing."
Pei Tianguang also felt a little pity: "Henry Zhang, why don't you stop thinking about it? This opportunity is extraordinary for you."
Lu Yu said: "I have made up my mind, sir, it is better not to say any more."
The reason why Lu Yu simply refused was because he had many considerations.
But the most critical point is that although the Governor of Luoshui is strong enough, in Lu Yu's opinion, it is not a place where he can live and seek refuge.
Although the Governor of Luoshui seems to have a high and powerful position, he is only a second-rank official.
As for Shenwei Hou Xu Guizong, he was a first-class military prince in the imperial court. Not only did he hold military power, but his status was much stronger than that of a governor.
If Lu Yu really followed the Governor of Luoshui, his ultimate achievements would not be higher than the Governor of Luoshui.
What Lu Yu wants to do is to make Shen Linglong and Xu Guizong pay the price. Being in peace is not what he wants.
"Forget it, you killed the powerful Earth Immortal this time. I will send someone to report this meritorious service to the Ministry of War. This meritorious service is enough for you to be promoted to general. I believe that the Ministry of War will have an official document soon." Li Longqing
said in a deep voice.
Lu Yu cupped his fists and said, "Thank you, sir!"
With the governor's personal recommendation, I believe his status as a general can be established quickly.
