"Guandong Rats, your Grandpa Hua is here, who dares to come out and fight?"
At Hulao Pass, Hua Xiong shouted for battle in front of the formation with an arrogant look. Seeing his arrogance, Lu Bu, who was above Hulao Pass, immediately clenched his fists and his eyes were filled with rage.
He knew that Dong Zhuo was very happy after Hua Xiong killed two armies at Sishui Pass this time. He had already revealed in private that after he defeated the Guandong princes this time, he would be rewarded with the title of Marquis of Guannei.
Thinking that Lu Bu, as the number one military general in Xiliang, has not yet been granted the title of marquis or general, yet at this moment, that rough man has almost got it.
How could this not make Lu Bu angry, and he also knew that the reason why the other party was able to defeat those two armies was not due to Hua Xiong's ability.
Instead, he succeeded with the help of another person's plan that he hated so much. Thinking of this, he set his sights on that person again.
But the other party was wearing a white scholar's robe and dressed like a counselor, which made Lu Bu even more angry.
"I am the number one general in Xiliang," Lu Bu roared in his heart. He even hoped that the alliance outside Hulao Pass could send a fierce general to defeat Hua Xiong, or even kill him.
Then he will take action to defeat and kill those generals. When the time comes, the Prime Minister will know that he is a peerless general worth relying on.
Unfortunately, his idea came to nothing.
Because at this moment when he was daydreaming, a burst of cheers from their army suddenly came from Hulao Pass. Lu Bu came back to his senses and saw that under Hua Xiong's horse, a head was lying there with a death stare.
"Waste, simply waste"
Seeing this situation, Lu Bu didn't know that the generals from the alliance were killed by Hua Xiong. Now Hua Xiong's prestige was even higher.
Especially when he looked at the admiring eyes of the troops behind him, Lu Bu's expression became even more sinister.
"Haha! Zijian killed the enemy general, why is Fengxian unhappy? Fengxian's face seems a little bad, is he sick?"
Suddenly a gentle laughter reached Lu Bu's ears, which immediately startled him. He looked up and saw Xiao Ziyu nodding towards him with a smile, and seemed to care about him very much.
Lu Bu felt as sick as if he had swallowed a fly.
He could tell that Xiao Ziyu not only cared about him, but also disgusted him. After all, Hua Xiong was his colleague. He was killing the enemy general below, and everyone here was laughing and cheering.
He, Lu Bu, is the only one who is unhappy. What does this mean? Could it be that Lu Bu has some connection with the feudal lords of Guandong below?
If the Prime Minister heard these words, he would inevitably be held accountable due to his suspicious character. Therefore, at this moment, Lu Bu felt even more hatred towards Xiao Ziyu.
Seeing Lu Bu's angry eyes, Xiao Ziyu didn't care at all. He seemed to just like seeing Lu Bu staring like this.
"Fengxian, if you really feel uncomfortable, I know a miracle doctor who you can introduce to Fengxian."
Seeing that Lu Bu didn't speak, Xiao Ziyu continued to tease him.
"snort!"
Lu Bu seemed to be unable to bear it, so he glared at Xiao Ziyu fiercely, snorted coldly, and left directly, descending to the top of the city.
"Brother Ziyu, why do you always have trouble with General Lu? After all, we both serve the Prime Minister, so why are you so stiff now?"
Not long after Lu Bu left, Li Ru came to Xiao Ziyu with a gentle look on his face and said with a helpless expression.
"Hehe! I'm just not happy with this guy. He acts like he's awesome, but in the end he's defeated by my subordinates, isn't he?"
"Besides, if I have a harmonious relationship with this guy, will your Prime Minister be able to do it with peace of mind?" Xiao Ziyu asked in return without looking back.
Li Ru choked up immediately. He instantly understood what Xiao Ziyu meant. He offended Lu Bu just to reassure Dong Zhuo.
After all, the two of them are the most powerful men in Xiliang. If the two of them join forces, Dong Zhuo is really worried, and even Lu Bu's original military power may be taken away.
In this way, Lu Bu's ability will be greatly weakened, and at the same time, their Xiliang strength will also be weakened.
Thinking of this, Li Ru felt a moment in his heart, then he waved his sleeves and solemnly bowed to Xiao Ziyu: "Brother, I have misunderstood Ziyu."
"Haha! Brother Wenyou is like this. I just don't want the Prime Minister to be afraid. I also want to see the Prime Minister confer me as a national advisor after he becomes the emperor!"
Xiao Ziyu unabashedly stated his purpose of coming to Dong Zhuo.
"Ziyu is quite a national master?" Li Ru was shocked when he heard this. He didn't expect that Xiao Ziyu would have such an idea.
It seems that this Imperial Master has a great reputation and is the master of a country, but Li Ru knows that this Imperial Master has no power at all, he just has a name.
He has been communicating with Xiao Ziyu repeatedly in the past few days, but those who know Xiao Ziyu's ability are definitely a general and a prime minister. He can govern the country with literature and military skills to ensure peace. He is good at politics, military, and strategy. He even has the talent of Lu Ban Gongshu.
.
He has personally seen the saddles, horseshoes and divine arm crossbows that Xiao Ziyu ordered to build. Of course he understands how much help these tools have to Xiliang.
Therefore, according to Xiao Ziyu's ability, once Dong Zhuo unifies the world and becomes emperor in the future, Xiao Ziyu will be given the position of San Gong.
As a senior executive in Xiliang, I am very aware of this.
However, Xiao Ziyu now revealed his purpose, which was so different from what they imagined, how could he not be surprised.
"Brother Wenyou, you seem to be surprised." Seeing Li Ru's expression, Xiao Ziyu smiled faintly.
"Yes, with brother Ziyu's talents, he will become the prime minister of the country and become the emperor in the future. Ziyu is also a third prince, so why should Ziyu choose such a nominal national teacher?"
Li Ru began to persuade Xiao Ziyu that he had never suspected that Xiao Ziyu was telling lies. After all, there was nothing dirty between the two of them, and there was no need for Xiao Ziyu to lie to others.
"Haha! Brother Wenyou, I was originally a Taoist cultivator in the mountains and forests, but now my practice has encountered a bottleneck, and my cultivation has been unable to break through. So I thought of the predecessors of the pre-Qin Dynasty. After they helped the princes to unify the world, they won the favor of heaven and earth.
, fortunately a breakthroughâ
"Now I want to take this path. By helping the prime minister to unify the world, I can obtain the position of national master, and by borrowing the luck of heaven and earth, I can break through the bottleneck in one fell swoop. Once my cultivation level breaks through, it will be the time for me to return to the mountains and forests!"
Xiao Ziyu suddenly exuded an extremely unearthly aura. Li Ru had seen this aura before, and he had encountered similar mountain hermits before.
"Ziyu is quite kind-hearted!"
Seeing Xiao Ziyu's ambition, Li Ru also smiled bitterly.
