I regret investing in Lu Bu

Gao Lidong had previously sent a message and had not publicly called Po Lu San by name.

Now when I heard what Lu Bu said, I immediately understood in my heart, "This boy has quick wits. In this way, he can instantly wipe out his reputation as a thief." 】

[The lord of Wuzi City does not have much background behind him, and his official position is younger than mine. Although Li Yan is the leader of the Ziyi branch, he does not have much power foundation, and his rank is not as high as mine. Moreover, the cultivation level of these two is not as good as mine. At this moment How dare you fight with me? 】

[Just take advantage of these two people, maybe you can bite back. 】

[Also, I have observed Lu San for two days, and I can say that he is not weak. Although I don’t know what happened to him after he was away for a year, but now, how can Lu San’s strength and wit not be regarded as the most important treasure of our academy? 】

[I simply followed what he said. How can the two people in front of me argue with me, a high-ranking person in the Four Realms? 】

Gao Lidong arrived at Wuzbi City yesterday, and came here after inquiring about the news. He saw Lu Bu fighting Li Xi fiercely, and he was shocked. Lu Bu actually defeated Li Xi, who was at the beginning of the fourth realm, at the middle level of the third realm. , which made him extremely happy.

So I wanted to see what was going on here, and at the same time, I thought about how to clear Lu Bu's name of being a thief. After thinking about it, I could only spend money and use my identity to silence people.

Unexpectedly, Lu Bu's words suddenly changed his mind and decided to follow the trend.

He has the highest cultivation level and the highest status among the people present. As long as he can defeat the city lord and Li Yan with his status and strength, he can succeed.

I'm the strongest on the spot, so whatever I say comes true.

[Lü San’s words not only wiped away the name of the mountain bandit, but also turned passivity into initiative, saving me countless troubles. Otherwise, someone would have to pay an unknown amount of money to silence Lu San’s reputation as a mountain bandit. , affecting his participation in the Alchemist Competition, and even causing trouble in the academy, causing him to become notorious for teaching students to become bandits. 】

After thinking about it, he immediately said: "Yes, Lu... Fengxian is a student of our college. Because of his outstanding ability, the college decided to entrust him with an important task and send him to lead the college's caravan to do business."

"You can also gain experience and gain knowledge, so that Fengxian can inherit the mantle of our academy."

"But I didn't expect you two, what do you think? What do you mean by An? I think it must be because of wealth."

"Our college has very little capital, so we decided to go into business, invested huge manpower and material resources, traveled all over the country, opened up trade routes, and went through a lot of hard work. It is at the time of harvest that we have a glimmer of hope, hoping to expand the scale of the college."

"All the property on this mountain belongs to my college!"

"You two birdies, how dare you pluck the hair off my head at Luo City Academy?"

The city lord was sulky, his face turned red, and he said: "That's nonsense. I am the city lord of Wuzbi City. Although you are in the fourth rank and have reached a high level in the fourth realm, you cannot confuse right and wrong here."

"Lü San has gathered bandits here. He wants to bring trouble to the countryside and attack my city. How can I allow him to get involved in the territory of our Daxia Kingdom? So I quickly sent troops and generals to capture Lu San and then fight with your court." Let’s discuss how to deal with this thief.”

"All the soldiers behind me can testify."

Gao Lidong sneered, "We've already colluded with each other, so what's the use of asking?"

"City Lord, your ancestors were heroes of our country, and you have just been hereditary hereditary. However, I heard that bandits are everywhere in your territory, causing harm to the countryside, but you have been unable to eliminate them for a long time."

"Now my college's caravan is passing through this place, but it is suffering. Instead of killing the bandits, you are here to wrongly accuse my college's caravan?"

"My official position is not high enough, and I don't have enough prestige to speak, right? I will write a letter immediately and ask my dean to come and talk to you!"

Feng Mudu, the dean of Luo City Academy, was at the pinnacle of the Four Realms. The empire made him a quasi-third-grade official. Although he was in name only, his reputation was higher than that of the city lord.

The city lord was speechless for a moment, as his dean was much more senior than himself.

A level one and a half at the official level would crush anyone to death.

But he didn't want to swallow the bitter fruit secretly. He couldn't help but think about what to do. After thinking about it, he had no background and no one above him could speak for him.

Next to him, Li Yan said: "Master Gao, don't make false claims. Do you think I'm a fool? Whether he is Lu San or Lu Bu, it is an ironclad fact that he is a thief here. Otherwise, how could I come here to kill him?"

"Of course, I also want to recruit him. Such a talent should be used by our Wu Qing Sect so that we can realize our grand plans."

After he finished speaking, Lu Bu said with a smile: "If you want to accuse me, why bother?"

"If you don't believe me, ask behind me and ask them if they are all members of the college caravan?"

His voice was very loud, and from just now until now, Yu Meng could hear it word for word.

Yu Meng was not stupid, and immediately understood that this was an attempt to use Gao Lidong's power to forcibly clear his name.

He immediately shouted: "The leader is right, we are members of the caravan from Luo City Alchemist Academy, and Lu Bu is the leader of the caravan."

The names have been changed, it’s very detailed.

After he said that, all the Yashan gangsters started shouting one after another, saying that they were guards, laborers, etc.

Zhu Fugui said loudly: "I am the caravan manager."

When Gao Lidong heard this, a smile appeared on his face.

Lu Bu said, "Did you hear that?"

"This bandit leader, named Bianlicha, has been killed by me. If you still don't believe it, you can follow me and dig him out and have a look!"

"His bandits dispersed long after I killed Bianli Cha and disappeared without a trace. They seemed to have fled to other places to become bandits."

Li Xi sneered: "Okay, okay, what nonsense are you talking about? The sky is blue and the sun is white. Are you trying to turn black into white? I will go to Wu Qing Sect and ask the white-clothed sect leader to testify for me. I will definitely find you, a bandit!"

The city lord looked at him in surprise, "Aren't you trying to recruit Lu Sanye?" Why is it that it's as if we have to die before we rest at this moment? 】

Gao Lidong said: "Sect Master Li, I originally thought that your cultivation level was not low, you were in your prime, and you still had room for improvement. I wanted to recommend you to the branch of Wu Qing Sect in Luocheng, but I didn't expect that you didn't believe what I and my students said. It’s so stubborn.”

Hearing this, Li Xi glanced at Gao Lidong and said, "What do you mean, are you implying that if I expose this article, you will recommend me?" 】

Luo City is much bigger than Uzbek City. Wherever you work as an errand, it can be said to be a promotion.

Lu Bu said: "I am innocent to begin with, so why do I need to prove it? Sect Leader Li, think about it carefully. Have you ever truly found out my identity from the time you saw me until now?"

"This is all a misunderstanding, Sect Leader Li." Lu Bu sighed.

When Li Xi heard this, he thought he was trying to calm things down, so he used the word "misunderstanding" to explain it away?

Give me steps?

He thought about it and realized that his family had no losses. Since he could gain benefits, then this matter... could be solved.

"Lu... Bu, since you said you are not a bandit, then I will wait for you to return to the city and go to Wu Qingzong to prove your identity!"

After that, no more words.

The implication was that he had decided not to pursue the matter further, and to find a reason to excuse himself in order to take advantage of Gao Lidong.

Benefits move people's hearts, and money changes people's ambitions.

The future of our family is more important. Are you, Lu Bu, a bandit? What are you doing to me? It's not my territory, and I have the intention to recruit you.

Since Gao Lidong is the black-clad master of the Wu Qing Sect, if you go with him, you are also going with the Wu Qing Sect.

Gao Lidong doesn't dare to take credit for recommending Lu Bu without distinguishing me, right?

At this moment, the city lord was the only one who refused to recognize Lu Bu's identity. If he did, wouldn't he have to be compensated by the Luo City College caravan?

You attacked someone else's caravan for no reason, and you won't pay compensation?

Gao Lidong sent a message: "City Lord, you don't want me to personally kill the bandits around you, right?"

The city lord's breath was stagnant. Lu San had already destroyed some of his foundations, but if Gao Lidong took action, nothing would grow!

Gao Lidong sent another message to the city lord: "Among the students graduating from our college this year, there are still some good ones."

After hearing this, the city lord's face looked better, "Well, as you said, let's recruit some people from Luo City College to supplement our skills. These students must be of better quality." 】

The city owner was also helpless. In the current situation, Li Xi was unwilling to pursue the case.

If he kept chasing him, he would be surrounded and killed by the three men. When the time came to go out and say that he had failed to suppress the bandits, he, Gao Lidong, happened to pass by to rescue him. Unfortunately, the bandits were so powerful that he was "heavily injured" and died in the battle. .

Wouldn't it be better to dissipate the power in your hands?

Who will find out the truth for him and redress his grievance?

The city lord can come up with a method of raising bandits and recruiting them in a certain future to instantly expand his power, which is not a low-level strategy.

Now that Gao Lidong is here, if he continues to argue and angers him, years of planning will be in vain.

Now I have only lost a few officers and soldiers, and am raising bandits myself, but there are not many casualties. If the other party promises and is replenished, I can get more capable subordinates.

Seeing that the time was ripe, Gao Lidong said loudly: "City Lord, you are also a powerful leader. The territory of Wuzbi City is going smoothly under your management, which is considered hard work. Now that you are attacking our caravan, it must be a misunderstanding."

"Perhaps there is someone with ulterior motives who wants to cause a dispute between our two families. Do you think that's right?"

The city lord had no choice but to face the pressing situation and said: "Perhaps it is as Dean Gao said."

Even if the truth is what he said, if the matter is brought up, will the higher-ups listen to him who is a beginner in the fourth realm, or will they be more willing to listen to Gao Lidong, who is a high-level person in the fourth realm?

Gao Lidong waved his hand, "Since there is a misunderstanding, why not resolve it now?"

He looked at the city lord and Li Cyan.

Li Xi said: "Master Gao, please take a closer look. I'm doing my best."

[As long as you take Gao Lidong's path, you may be able to take a step forward. 】

The city lord said: "Please ask Dean Gao to mediate."

[Damn it, I wanted to capture Lu San and kill his college, but I didn’t expect that he would not be captured. Now there is a possibility that he will be killed. 】

[Fortunately, it’s not without any benefit. 】

There is no benefit, and the city lord is not willing to let it go.

[Ancestor, I am incompetent! 】

It's all because he is not strong enough. If he was at the beginning of the Four Realms, could An have experienced this?

…

There are different teachings:

Many things in ancient and modern times are all paid for by profit.

Wealth and silk move people's hearts, while benefits change their aspirations.

The bottom is fighting to the death, the top is calculating profits and losses.

It’s not that I won’t give up, it’s just that the price is not enough!
