"You, you, you -" Looking at Lu Wu, whose complexion suddenly changed as if by magic, Ke Tu's eyes widened and he pointed at Lu Wu with Kuyun Guo still in his mouth, pronouncing it like a lake Unclear.
Qiu Tong peeled off another bitter cloud fruit and handed it to Lu Wu. While Lu Wu was eating it, he said in a homely tone: "Oh, Brother Ke Tu, I really didn't expect that you have become the King of Wu. Do you still remember the life-saving grace, and you are willing to give up such a good opportunity, offend everyone in the court, and come to let me go? Isn't it natural for a king to be ungrateful? "
Ketu: "You, you—cough cough cough."
But Ke Tu was so shocked that he forgot to chew, and the bitter cloud fruit slipped down and got stuck in his throat.
Lu Wu stretched out his hand and slapped it in the air. Ketu's chest shook slightly, and Kuyun Guo bounced up three points from his throat and returned to his mouth. It would be ugly to spit it out, but it was just right to return it to his mouth.
Ketu: "You, you - are you pretending?"
I almost choked just now, but Tu's hand pointing at Lu Wu was still trembling - this was not shock, but fear.
He had been the king of Wu for several months, and he was in intrigues and intrigues with his ministers. His scheming was no longer what it was a few months ago.
As soon as he recovered from the shock of Lu Wu changing his face and regaining his healthy complexion, he thought about why Lu Wu pretended to be seriously injured and unable to recover.
This was not difficult to think of in the first place - but the implications made Ketu shudder.
You know, the guy in front of you who is only sixteen years old and has a somewhat raw complexion has done this kind of thing more than once. He pretended to be seriously injured and aroused the greed of the whole country of Wu. What is his goal? It simply speaks for itself.
Lu Wu nodded and admitted: "Yes, I pretended."
Ke Tu: "You want to?"
Lu Wu: "Yes, it's what you think."
Can Tu: "————"
Lu Wu stretched out his hand and spread his fingers. Although there was still some distance between the two, he still landed firmly on Ke Tu's shoulder - but Ke Tu was unknowingly attracted to him and sat on Lu Wu's shoulder. In front of Wu.
Lu Wu pressed Ketu's shoulder with one hand and laughed loudly: "People have the intention of hurting tigers, and tigers are harmful to people's hearts - Brother Ketu, I originally thought that you would be an ungrateful person after you ascended the throne of King Wu. Unexpectedly, he still has such an innocent heart.
That's all, since you didn't let me down, how can I, who is as strong as the deer in the sky, still fail you? Don't worry, just based on your words today, I will give you all the five palaces in the south. "
Lu Wu actually only had the land of three southern mansions of the Chu Kingdom in his hands. However, since the Chu Kingdom was defeated and retreated to Yinping City before reorganizing the defense line based on the dangerous ground, it would be equivalent to giving up one of the Tuotu Prefectures, half of the Tonghe Prefecture, and most of the Yanting Prefecture. It is not an exaggeration to say that he controls the five southern mansions.
Can Tu: "————"
Just now he was frightened, so he couldn't speak; now the cake Lu Wu drew for him was too big, so he couldn't speak either.
Lu Wu let go of Ke Tu's shoulders and lay down relaxedly, crossing his fingers on his chest: "Brother Ke Tu, I didn't go to Chu State to conquer the five southern provinces. I don't know if you believe this or not. ?”
Logically speaking, Lu Wu should honor Ketu as the king, but neither of them cares about this now.
"Of course I believe that." But Tu calmed down, chewed the bitter cloud fruit in his mouth and swallowed it. He also gathered a few soft cushions and leaned on them relaxedly.
With Lu Wu's cultivation level, the serious injury was faked, and he could really be crushed to death with two fingers, so it was useless to be nervous.
Moreover, he had a clear conscience and was not very guilty in the first place.
"Ever since I became sensible, I have felt that the world is impermanent. No matter how rich you are, or how powerful you are, your enjoyment is still limited, and you will only live in a three-foot coffin after death. This prospect is really uninspiring.
You also know that although my family is not a noble, it is quite wealthy. I am a commoner and it is not my turn to inherit the family property. Fortunately, my eldest mother treats me very well. I can even lie down comfortably, so why should I? Are you asking for trouble like the eldest and second brothers? "Lu Wu said lazily, half lying and half leaning.
Ke Tu nodded.
He knew better than Lu Wu what was going on in Lu Wu's family.
After all, Lu Wu has no interest in running the business at home. He only needs to live a comfortable life if he has money to spend.
But Tu was the King of Wu. For Lu Wu, a fighting general like Lu Wu who was rarely produced in the Wu Kingdom for a century, if he didn't investigate his family background, there would be something wrong with his brain.
"Hey, I originally wanted to live my whole life like this, waiting to die. Unexpectedly, when I was five years old, I didn't know which deity came to me in my dream. At that time, the deity gave me three choices. One was to be wise and profound. , the great power is in hand; the second is that the martial arts is supreme and invincible in the world; the third is that it can last for a long time and extend the life for a century!"
"You chose martial arts to reach the sky and become invincible?" Ke Tu suddenly stood up straight, his eyes as wide as copper bells, and asked hurriedly.
Where did Lu Wu's martial arts that are all-powerful come from? It has long been an unsolved mystery for nobles from all walks of life. Although the world is huge and there are more than one martial arts master, who can teach Lu Wu silently? This kind of kid?
Especially since Lu Wu was only fifteen years old, he became so tyrannical. There is no such record except in myths and legends throughout the ages.
Therefore, if this kind of ridiculous plot of encountering gods teaching skills in a dream was applied to other people, Ke Tu would just laugh at it, but when it was said from Lu Wu's mouth, Ke Tu believed it eight or nine times at once - otherwise, there is no way Explain the origin of Lu Wu’s martial arts.
Lu Wu glanced at Ke Tu: "Of course I want them all."
People's thinking these days is backward, and the advanced concept of "children only make choices, adults want everything" has not yet appeared. But Tu couldn't turn his head around for a while, and was stunned again.
Lu Wu turned to Qiu Tong and said, "Don't look at me sleeping and fishing every day. In fact, I am not idle at all. I work hard in my heart all day long. I am working hard!"
Qiutong felt a little ashamed.
Lu Wu has treated the five girls like him half-teacher and half-friend since they were young, and he doesn't put on much airs about the young master. Therefore, Qiu Tong and the other five are not very afraid of Lu Wu, and they often complain that the young master is too lazy.
Unexpectedly, the young master is not really lazy, he is just working hard in his heart.
Lu Wu turned to Ketu again and said: "I learned some skills just in case, and I have no ambitions. I still live a comfortable life in my own village. I didn't expect that the Songjing Rebellion would spread to I had to take action when I arrived at Lu's house.
After fighting all night, I originally thought that I had done a good thing and could go back to eat and wait for death. Unexpectedly, the good and stable days were gone forever. "
Having said this, Lu Wu glared at Ke Tu angrily.
This man is one of the culprits who repays kindness with vengeance and ruins his good life.
Ke Tu is a little helpless. People all judge themselves by power, wealth and status. Who knew your definition of a good life would be like this?
"The Five Prefectures in the south of Chu State can give it to you. It was not my original intention to go there. I just rushed things step by step and finally ended up like this. I didn't want to care so much.
However, now that many people want to eat with me, I can't completely ignore them. There must always be a place to accommodate them.
How about you trade the five counties in the south of the Yangtze River with me in exchange for the five provinces in the south. In this way, I don’t have to work hard on my saddle and horse to fight life and death, and can continue to eat and wait for death. You can also recover the homeland of the Wu Kingdom. We all get the best of both worlds, how about it? "
Lu Wu's words were not spoken loudly by a lion, but he was extremely sincere.
Wu State has sixteen counties.
The counties of Wu State are smaller in area than the prefectures of Chu State. The five counties in Jiangnan are only equivalent to three of the five southern prefectures.
This is because after the Wu Kingdom escaped Lanshui, the territory itself was small, and a large number of fleeing nobles had to be accommodated. The administrative units had to be subdivided in order to have more space to accommodate these nobles.
To the south of Lanshui, the water network is denser than to the north of Lanshui, and the administrative areas divided according to rivers and streams are smaller.
The river in the south of the Yangtze River refers to the Xiaolongjiang River, which was originally a barbaric land. It was a territory that Wu Guoxin established less than thirty years ago. In terms of prosperity, it is far less prosperous than the five southern mansions conquered by Lu Wu.
The Lu family's fiefdom is also over there.
