Wandering the Heavens

Chapter 363 3 countries 3

Not to mention that Cao Cao started to act tough as usual after he met Chen Gong while fleeing in a panic, Yu Xian had already arrived at Lü Bushe's house in advance and gained their trust by relying on his identity as a wandering Taoist priest to stay at their house.

To be honest, Yu Xian always felt that the surname Lu had a strange fate, as if it was born to be the background board for the protagonist.

At the beginning, Lu Buwei invested in Qin Shihuang's biological father, achieved a class leap and became the prime minister of a country. People also said that he was Qin Shihuang's adulterous father. Then he played too much and was ordered to commit suicide.

Next was Lu Zhi’s family. They successfully invested in Liu Bang, but had no successor and broke the rules, so their entire family was wiped out after Lu Zhi’s death.

During the turmoil at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, two characters emerged, Lu Bu and Lu Bushe. Lu Bu's talent and ambition did not match, making him a laughing stock.

As for Lü Bushe, he helped establish Cao Cao's character of "I would rather let others down than be let down by others".

The last time should be to provide equipment to Xue Rengui. On his way to Liaodong to join the army, Xue Rengui stayed at a wealthy family named Lu. It happened that bandits surrounded the village. Xue Rengui wanted to take action but found that there were no suitable weapons.

The owner said that there were weapons used by the ancestors at home, but since their descendants were incompetent, they could not be used and could only be used as pillars. Xue Rengui went to try it and found that it was a Fang Tian Hua Ji.

I almost forgot that there was a bastard who told the emperor that the imperial power should share the world with the literati, not with the people.

I've gone off topic. Yu Xian took this opportunity to forge weapons at the Lu family, a spear and a Tang sword. Yu Xian had no interest in conquering the world, he just wanted to do something for the sake of doing something.

Because there isn't a single normal person here, fuck the world!!!

The Lu family had a good impression of this Taoist priest. During the time he was staying with them, he not only treated the sick people in their family, but also helped improve farm tools and weapons for guarding the farm. Now he was just making weapons for them out of convenience.

Since he had no plan to conquer the world, the spear made by Yu Xian adopted a detachable design. When not in use, it could be disassembled into three parts and carried on the back. When in use, it could be opened and connected. For details, please refer to the one used by Lu Lingfeng in "Strange Stories of the Tang Dynasty".

Time passed quickly. Yu Xian had just finished making his sword and spear and was practicing in the yard when he saw Lü Bushe coming in with two bearded men. He could only put away his spear and stand still to salute.

"Master, come here, this is the son of my good friend, Cao Mengde, and this is Chen Gongtai."

Lü Bushe really didn't treat Yu Xian as an outsider, and he didn't have any sense of boundaries. He even dared to introduce two fugitives of the imperial court to him casually. Sure enough, when Cao Cao and Chen Gong saw Lü Bushe shaking the two people out, their eyes turned cold.

"I have met two knights."

No matter how much Yu Xian disliked these two guys, he had to consider the face of his master, Lu Bushe.

Cao Cao and Chen Gong had been fleeing for many days, and they looked disheveled and in poor condition with swords in their hands. Yu Xian had no problem thinking that they were wandering knights, and the two men temporarily put their minds at ease.

However, they began to doubt Yu Xian's background. After all, the person who instigated the people to rebel a few years ago was also a Taoist priest.

"Are you a Taoist priest? Who is your master?"

Cao Cao really didn't treat himself as an outsider and began to interrogate him in front of Lü Bushe.

Yu Xian wanted to say it’s none of your business.

"I learned from Taoist Qingwei."

"My dear nephew, please go inside and rest. I will prepare food right away."

Lü Bushe failed to see the subtlety of the situation, and instead enthusiastically brought Cao Cao and Chen Gong into the house.

Yu Xian bowed to show his respect to the others, and then started to dance with his spear. After a while, Lü Bushe came out with a wine bag on his back, saying that he was happy that his friend's son had come and he was going out to get some wine.

It was a dark and windy night, a time for murder and arson. Cao Cao and Chen Gong were not just stupid, they killed people in broad daylight, but they were stopped by Yu Xian at the beginning. He directly cut off the sword that Cao Cao was stabbing at the servant of the Lu family, and pulled the person aside. Fortunately, the injury was not serious.

When Yu Xian tore open the servant's clothes and poured medicine powder on his wound to stop the bleeding, Cao Cao and Chen Gong opened the door and rushed out, looking at Yu Xian who was treating the wound, their faces turned pale and blue.

"Who are you? Why are you stopping me?" Cao Cao asked, pointing at Yu Xian with a dagger in his hand.

"Old Man Lu was kind enough to take you in, so why did you commit a crime in his house? If I hadn't happened to see it just now, this person would have died in your hands. You came here to rob Old Man Lu's property, right?"

Yu Xian helped the injured servant aside and asked coldly while holding a Tang sword in his hand.

Cao Cao almost drooled when he looked at the knife in Yu Xian's hand. There was no doubt that it was this simple-shaped knife that cut off the sword in his hand. Everyone would be tempted by such a magical weapon.

"To be honest, Gongtai and I are wanted criminals of the imperial court. I just heard Lü Bushe say that he was going out to get some wine, and now there's the sound of knife sharpening in the backyard. So, he used the excuse of getting some wine to report to the authorities and collect the reward. We killed people to protect ourselves!"

Cao Cao thought that this Taoist priest was so luxuriously equipped that he was someone he could make friends with. He immediately gained confidence and began to introduce himself and explain the reason for killing someone.

"Dong Zhuo is the dictator of the court and the people are living in misery. I see that you are very capable, so why don't you join me in killing the Lu family and go to Qiao County to raise an army and accomplish great things!"

"First, Mr. Lu never thought of suing the officials. He really went to get some wine, and the sound of sharpening the knife was because he wanted to kill a pig to entertain you. Second, how could you, a pretentious criminal, recruit me? The so-called Dong Zhuo's monopoly of power is just that he refused to cooperate with the upper class and powerful families after entering the capital. You powerful people and warlords are fighting each other, and it has nothing to do with me!"

Yu Xian looks down on everyone in this world, regardless of gender.

"Stupid! Dong Zhuo covets the divine weapon, and you should use your martial arts to support the Han Dynasty. How can it be said to be a struggle for power!" Cao Cao scolded righteously.

While the two sides were pulling, others heard the noise and rushed over. Yu Xian told them clearly what happened. The servants and farmhands heard that Cao Cao and Chen Gong were going to attack the Lu family and even hurt people.

Everyone was about to step forward and take action, but Yu Xian stopped them and said that they should capture the man first and deal with him later when Lü Bushe returned.

The servants and farmhands were quite convinced by Yu Xian's words and agreed to do so first. So the two who were originally guests were arrested and tied up on the training ground of the farmhands. Cao Cao's mouth was busy, either cursing or laughing.

"Gongtai, do you believe that the Taoist priest will apologize to us and join us soon?" Cao Cao said, looking up at the sky.

"Meng De, take a break!" Chen Gong advised.

"No, I just want to curse! I curse the officials in the court for being incompetent, curse Dong Zhuo for being cruel, and curse that no one listened to me, Cao Cao, which led to the court being in trouble today! They deserve it! They..." Cao Cao said angrily.

The more Chen Gong listened, the more tired he became. He must have been crazy enough to abandon his family and official position to follow him into exile.

"Gongtai, are you right about what I said? Gongtai, what are you thinking about?" Cao Cao needed a supporting actor at this time.

"I wonder whether the cricket I left behind is dead or alive?" Chen Gong said to Tian Youyou.

……

Lü Bushe was quite happy when he came back from getting wine, but then he heard the farmhand report that Cao Cao was going to kill someone. He didn't believe it at first, but when he saw the servants who were stabbed and the sword that was cut off by Yu Xian, he couldn't help but believe it.

He was an old man in his sixties. He came to the parade ground crying and dragging his wine bag.

"Lü Bushe, tell me how much reward the government has given you? Where are the officers who arrested us?" Cao Cao saw Lü Bushe calling him by his name from afar and mocking him.
