The courtyard where Lu Wu rested was naturally one of the best courtyards in the city lord's palace. Not to mention the size and household facilities, the bathing pool alone was more than twenty feet in diameter, and it was in the shape of a staircase, with some shallow parts and some deep parts. There are special hot water inlets and outlets. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a small swimming pool.
(The square circle refers to the circumference, not the radius)
Lu Wu stood naked in the shallow water of the bathing pool, with only his lower legs submerged in the water.
Through the steaming water vapor, you can see Jin Ju and Yu Lan walking in front of each other. They are wearing only bellybands and are using a large long-handled brown brush to clean Lu Wu's chest and back.
Although the wooden handle of the brush, which is as thick as an arm, is inlaid with gold and jade, and is extremely delicate, in fact, this brush is still used to brush horses - in fact, this thing is not only used by Lu Wu, but also by Heishen. The same thing, just without any decoration.
Originally, the three of them were basically naked, which should have been a pretty sexy scene. However, Jinju and Yulan were still wearing clothes. Once they took off their clothes, their muscles were angular and angular, and they looked much stronger and thicker than Lu Wu. , it is difficult for people to have reverie.
Although the Golden Bone and Jade Marrow Iron Cloth Shirt is made from the inside out, it is still an external approach, with the effect of strengthening the qi. Before Qiu Tong began to return to his original nature through training, his muscles were still relatively strong.
Although the wooden handle of the brush, which is as thick as an arm, is inlaid with gold and jade, and is extremely delicate, in fact, this brush is still used to brush horses - in fact, this thing is not only used by Lu Wu, but also by Heishen. The same thing, just without any decoration.
"Qiutong, why did you come back? Is there so much going on in Zhe Chongsi?" Lu Wu asked without looking back.
"Well, Zhechongji has a lot of things going on right now. Master, you are not on the road, so you have plenty of time. Just ask Jinju Yulan to massage you carefully. Why are you still using this brush?" Qiutong unbuttoned his soft armor and clothes, He said as he walked into the bath.
When I was in the army, conditions were relatively poor, so I naturally kept things simple.
In front of outsiders, Qiu Tong meticulously calls Lu Wu 'husband', which is used to flaunt his wife's status - otherwise, as a maid, how could she suppress Lu Wu's powerful warriors.
But in front of her sisters, Qiu Tong was much more casual.
"They have worked really hard these days being driven around by you. Now it's almost time for them to be ugly. Let them save some energy." Lu Wu said with a smile.
Except for Qiu Tong, who personally took action when the first wealthy family was wiped out, Qiu Tong left all other small-scale battles to Jin Ju and others to lead the team. She herself would be in charge of Zhechong Division in Nanhe City.
Nowadays, Lu Wu's men are really short of manpower. Nanhe Prefecture and Yuci Prefecture have just been conquered. In addition, the disguised military version of the withdrawal order has really harmed the interests of many direct heirs.
Although there are still some shadows of wealthy families in the upper echelons of the military, starting from the middle and lower levels of the entire military, Lu Wu has made several attempts to win people's hearts. Without the military's backing, any wealthy family who is caught is seeking death - - Even the Jiang family is honest, let alone other wealthy families?
But the family heads did not dare to jump out and rebel, but some of the direct heirs whose inheritance rights were shaken could not bear it. They did not dare to take action themselves, but used various means to instigate, causing various small-scale riots to occur one after another - this is also Qiu Tong One of the reasons why we are becoming more and more ruthless in renovating the place.
When Lu Wu's squadron returned home, Hongmei and Qingzhu were unable to welcome them because they had to take elite soldiers and horses to the Yuci Mansion to prepare to suppress possible rebellions in Yuci Mansion.
Although Lu Wu's body is not in the shape of muscles stacked into blocks, in fact, the way his body is composed is more like a method of refining the base material of magic weapons. Both explosive power and muscle quality are polished with ordinary outsiders' kung fu. The muscles that came out were very different, and their toughness was better than that of a steel helmet. Not to mention ordinary weapons, it was a so-called magic weapon. If it was not in the palm of Gao's hand, it would be difficult to cause any harm to him.
It is by no means an easy task to give Lu Wu a careful massage.
Only Jin Ju and others, with the help of Lu Wu, have mastered the mutated outsider magic skill of Golden Bone, Chalcedony and Iron Cloth Shirt to eighty or nine points. With a flick of their arms, they have the power of a thousand miles, and their body strength is even stronger. Only by training that even a little finger can withstand the force of the whole body without breaking, can he be qualified to give Lu Wu a massage - but it is by no means an easy job.
An ordinary person wouldn't even be qualified to give Lu Wu a massage.
"It's just a small commotion, it can't be called hard work." Jin Ju said quickly.
Yulan also nodded and echoed: "And most of the things are done by the soldiers below. We just give the order. There are not many times when we are really required to take action."
Nanhe Prefecture is a key area for Lu Wu and others to communicate with Wu State and obtain support. It is far more important than Yuci Prefecture, so the level of attention is also different. Even if it is a small disturbance, it is necessary to send people to solve it as soon as possible, which is really difficult.
But this is taking care of their own territory, and they have the power. It is completely different from the feeling of working as a maid in Lu Mansion and living under someone else's roof. Jin Ju and others do not find it hard.
"Now there are some good people who have taken the initiative to join us. In a month or two, there won't be such a shortage of manpower." Qiutong said.
"This is still a little slow. If I were the King of Chu, I would definitely mobilize all the best soldiers and generals. At this time, it only depends on the speed of the King of Chu's mobilization of troops. I would defeat Tonghe City with a thunderous force and shock people's hearts. At the same time, I would do my best to mobilize more carefully. To unite the great clans, we must confuse the rear when our footing is unstable and people's hearts are uncertain, so that I cannot fight with all my strength." Lu Wu said in a deep voice.
Lu Wu's capture of Tonghe Prefecture represented the corruption of the entire southern part of the Chu State. No country could tolerate this level of internal turmoil - it would lead to the country's destruction.
"So the Chu State will definitely go all out in this battle and press heavy troops on the border. It is definitely not comparable to the previous two times. Once the war starts, I will definitely not take care of the rear. You must stabilize the situation within twenty days, and at least ensure that within one month of the war." Inside, there won’t be any big trouble in the rear.”
Lu Wu threw Tonghe City to Meng Yang. First, the Meng family dedicated Tonghe City and had made great achievements, so they had to reward him heavily, otherwise it would be difficult to maintain their reputation of justice;
The second is that Tonghe City is the core of the southern region of the Chu State. If this falls, the Chu State will inevitably become furious like a man who has been kicked in the private parts, and what will follow will inevitably be a blow that gathers the power of the entire country.
The Meng family has been operating in Tonghe Prefecture for many years. It takes both black and white, and its potential power is astonishing. It is more difficult to deal with than a wealthy family like the Jiang family with its roots in the military, so Lu Wu simply handed over Tonghe City to Meng Yang. , let him face the Chu State directly and attack with all his strength, which would just consume the strength of the Meng family and completely subdue the Meng family.
Lu Wu, on the other hand, can roam around as a surprise soldier, using the mobility of the cavalry to take the initiative. If Lu Wu and his troops are surrounded and killed in the city, there will be no room for maneuver and they will have to fight head-on.
Moreover, if Lu Wu is surrounded and loses control of the newly conquered territory, I am afraid that a large number of scholar-bureaucrats will jump out to bring order to the chaos once the King of Chu gives the order - no matter how ferocious Lu Wu is, he will not be able to kill them all in a short time. The scholar-bureaucrats of Chu State in the Three Prefectures.
