"Well, that's an oversight on my part. You have villagers at your disposal at home, but when you go out you don't have any - that's all. Just let them follow you and take care of some chores for you."
After Lu Wu finished speaking to Qiutong, he turned to Li Shi and said:
"But King Wu Ketu and Queen Mother Mingji are very kind to me, and I don't want to kill too many people. I can give you a chance to speak, but don't expect me to fight with the court."
Lu Wu said the ugly things first.
Although Queen Mother Mingji has considered taking back the position of Dr. Lu Jinhe, she has not yet put it into practice. Lu Wu didn't know this either.
Even if Queen Mother Mingji wanted to grant him a marriage, she would send her son to say hello first, which was a courtesy. Although Lu Wu didn't like others manipulating his marriage, he didn't feel any resentment.
Li Shi was overjoyed.
What does "King Wu Ketu and Queen Mother Mingji treat me well" mean?
This tone was so loud that he almost put himself on an equal footing with King Wu and the Queen Mother.
If anyone else said that, Li Shi would definitely think that he was bragging, but this person looked at him and made him feel like he was frozen from the inside out, but he didn't look like a braggart.
Even if it's just bragging, if only one out of ten of these words is true, it's still a thigh that can't be any thicker.
I originally thought I had grabbed a life-saving straw, but it turned out to be a thigh?

Since the county captain was useless, Fang Liao came to General Wei Bei's mansion and met the new General Wei Bei.
"General Wei Bei, I have received news that Ke Shou may be hiding in the Li family's motorcade and escaping towards the Chu Kingdom. However, one of the general's disciples came to protect him. Lieutenant Bi Zun cannot take action against him. I'm afraid the general will have to send someone to take action."
General Weibei has standing troops under his command. They are much better trained and equipped than the county soldiers who are half peasants and half soldiers. Moreover, this General Weibei is a strong military strategist and martial arts expert who came from a famous general family in the state of Wu. It's just right for dealing with generals' disciples.
"Oh, does the Prime Minister know that he is a descendant of that general family? How dare you act so boldly?" General Wei Bei's face darkened.
Is this something that can be done casually?
Which child is so ignorant?
Isn't this a scam?
The current King of Wu, Ketu, had a grudge against his father-in-law Jiu, so if there was no excuse, he might not have killed him immediately.
Now that Prince Shou has defected to Chu, this is the best excuse.
The killing will be done openly and without damaging the reputation.
"I heard from Lieutenant Bizun that the general's son was named Lu Wu. He looked to be less than eighteen years old, but his martial arts skills were appalling. He had five hundred soldiers under his command at the time, but he didn't dare to attack him." Fang Liao said. said.
"Lu Wu? I have never heard of a general named Lu in the state of Wu. Could it be that his surname is Lu and his name is Lu Wu?"
"Maybe I misunderstood?" Fang Liao was not sure when he said this.
After all, Lu Wu and Lu Wu are similar in pronunciation. Maybe I really got it wrong?
"Lu Ziyuan and I have some friendship. It's not good to make a big deal about this. That's all. I'll go there myself and take this daring kid back so that Lu Ziyuan can be disciplined."
General Wei Bei stood up and bowed his hands to Fang Liao to express his gratitude.
Thirty years ago during the great war between Wu and Chu, the generals of the Kingdom of Wu lost a large number of their disciples, which resulted in the inheritance of many generals being lacking and failing to succeed. After crossing the river, everyone supported each other and established a foothold in the south of the Yangtze River. He could never watch the Lu family fall because of a daring and unscrupulous son.
"The general himself will take action, which will definitely scare that ignorant boy." Fang Liao stroked his long beard and burst into laughter.
The new General Wei Bei is the former top master of the Jinwu Guard, and the deputy commander of the Jinwu Guard, Tong Zhi, has an innate martial arts skills and is the leader of the new generation of generals in the Wu Kingdom.

Professionals take action, which is really different from Qiutong and others.
Li Shiban and Liao were both traveling businessmen, and their itineraries were arranged in an orderly manner. Before Lu Wu and others arrived at the county town, someone had booked restaurants and inns in advance and prepared all the food and fodder.
Once the group entered the county town, they could eat and bathe directly, and even had some free time to wander around.
Horses such as Heishen are also better cared for. Although Heishen does not eat ordinary fodder, he is brushed and cleaned every day by a dedicated person. Heishen is very satisfied - his living standard has improved significantly.
After two days of this, just when Li Shi and others thought they were safe, a group of people blocked the official road and blocked their way.
Li Shi's expression changed drastically - there were almost 500 soldiers in this group, but they were completely different from the county soldiers he had seen a few days ago. Among them, there were a full 100 soldiers.
Moreover, the flags were fluttering, the queues were neat, and the shields, crossbows and spears were criss-crossed to cover each other. It was obvious that they were well-trained.
A sturdy knight frightened his horse from the banner and ran out of the military formation. He pointed at Lu Wu and shouted: "General Tong Zhi of Weibei is here. Young man of the Lu family, why don't you hurry up and pay homage to my general?"
Lu Wu was startled. He really didn't expect that someone would dare to point at his nose and tell him to go over and meet someone.
Before Lu Wu could get angry, he heard someone shouting under the banner opposite: "Misunderstanding, misunderstanding, this is really a misunderstanding. The last general, Tong Zhi, has met General Lu!"
Then a horse galloped over. He first pulled his own soldier behind him and said with a smile on his face: "The general is invincible. The soldiers below recognized the wrong person. This person dared to be rude to the general. Really." Damn it, I'll be beaten when I get back, I hope the general won't behave like this villain."
(In this era, a villain does not refer to a person with despicable moral character, but to a person of low status, which is exactly the opposite of the meaning of an adult.)
Tong Zhi complained endlessly in his heart.
He was in the wrong team that day. Although he jumped back in time, he could no longer serve as the commander of the Jinwu Guards guarding the royal city, so he had to be released.
Through some operations and relying on his reputation, Tong Zhi got the position of General of Weibei, which was promoted two levels in a row - but the deputy commander of Jinwu Guard was a key military position to defend the King of Wu, and the promotion had different meanings. Two levels is equivalent to a level adjustment.
However, it was precisely because he was preoccupied with running external affairs and did not care much about the subsequent changes in Songjing. The King of Wu and the officials in the court also tried hard to downplay the assassination of the king, and the rewards were vague.
Tong Zhi really didn't know that the knight with the golden crown that day was named Lu Wu. He only knew that he rode a black horse and wore a halberd and a golden crown to tie his hair.
So when Fang Liao told him about this matter, he didn't think about Lu Wu at all - in his mind, the golden crown knight who had made such a great contribution must be waiting for rewards in Songjing, so he wouldn't be running around.
This is a misunderstanding.
Fang talked about that old bastard, but he had made himself miserable - if he died here today, I would never let that indescribable old bastard go.
What's worse is that he showed up as General Weibei just to teach his nephews and nephews a lesson, who don't know where to go and get into trouble everywhere.
But who would have thought that for the sake of showmanship, just one step late, his own soldiers would point at the murderer's nose and tell him to get over - Tong Zhi's sweat broke out at that moment.
