"Mother, why is this?" Ke Tu stopped and asked in surprise.

"The position of Dafu Zhanghua was given to the Lu family as compensation because Lu Wu could not confer the title of minister. Now that Lu Wu is unwilling to serve the country, the position of Dafu Jinwu is enough, so why bother to confer it with him?

Give two doctors to the Lu family?"

Mrs. Mingji was still angry and continued: "What's more, the so-called 'Zhanghua' originally means well-educated. If Lu Wu abandoned his post as deputy commander of the Jinwu Guard and left without leaving a word, how could he talk about being well-educated?

Then how can Lu Jinhe be worthy of the word 'Zhanghua'?"

"Mother, please calm down." Wu Wang Ketu thought for a while and said, "I think this is inappropriate."

"Um?"

"How can a king go back on his word and change his orders at night?" Ketu said: "General Qilu will eventually return. What will he think of me if he knows that I have left the position of his father Zhanghua? The Chu is strong and the Wu is weak.

Rely on General Deer’s bravery.

Mother, do you think that with General Lu’s temperament and temperament, I can use my glory and wealth to drive him to serve me?”

Ketu asked rhetorically.

Mrs. Mingji was speechless at first when her son said it, and then her face gradually became happy.

She took a step back, carefully looked at the son who had hurriedly ascended the throne, and finally nodded with satisfaction and said with a smile: "My son really looks like a king now. Since my son is so ambitious, let's do it according to my son's ideas - what are my son's plans?"

Deal with this?"

"Mother, I will grant the reward to the Lu family as usual, and order the secret guards to trace the whereabouts of General Lu.

Since brother-in-law said that Lu Wu went in a hurry and only took five maids with him, he must have been inconvenienced on the way. I sent some people to take care of chores for him. General Lu must be somewhat grateful, right?

Even if General Lu doesn't appreciate it, if you can arrange a few confidants around General Lu, it will definitely be useful in the future - at least you can know General Lu's movements."

Ke Tu said with confidence.

He doesn't even need to send any capable experts, he just needs to send some veterans who are experienced in the world and can handle chores.

This kind of person is considered a treasure to others, but here in the King of Wu's court, one more, no more, no less. If you can use a few of these things to win the favor of a military general, Ke Tu feels that he has already made a lot of money.

.

As for gaining Lu Wu's loyalty, Ketu had no hope - Lu Wu killed Young Master Jiu without hesitation like killing a chicken, and obviously had no respect for the royal power.

This kind of person is the most dangerous. If Lu Wu had no interest in power and really agreed to be the deputy commander of the Jinwu Guard, Ke Tu would have to prepare something else to prevent this person from developing disobedience.

As long as you have ability, you should use it even if you doubt it; if there is a threat, you should also use it with doubt - this is the only secret for a king to maintain his rule.

Three-way intersection, wine shop.

Lu Wu and others were eating when a small convoy of more than ten carriages drove into the three-way intersection.

The convoy unloaded the carriages and horses, leaving half of the people to guard them while the others went into the wine shop.

As soon as he entered the door, Ban Liao's nose twitched slightly.

His expression changed and he whispered: "It smells of blood!"

"Shall we go then?" Everyone in the convoy who had just entered the wine shop suddenly stopped.

"They may not necessarily be here for us, but we'd better be careful, buy some dry food and then leave." The second uncle, Li Shi, said.

Along the way, they had also heard news about some escapees being intercepted and killed, and they had also seen dead bodies on the roadside with their own eyes, so they were careful.

"Okay, let's hit the road early, arrive at Yunmen Town in the afternoon, and settle down early to rest." Ban Liao nodded.

He is very familiar with this road and is even better at calculating distance and speed. He leads his team to the town before evening every day and never sleeps in the wild.

In fact, no matter who is traveling outside, there must be a guide or a caravan. There are almost no people like Lu Wu who dares to travel a long distance with five maids who have never traveled far - not to mention the sinister people on the road.

Just the problem of getting lost is enough to make a person drink a cup of wine.

Lu Wu and the others have not lost their way so far because it is not easy to build and maintain official roads in this era. There is usually only one official road between two cities. As long as they do not leave this official road, it is difficult to get lost.

"Everyone, sit down and have a rest first. We will leave when the waiter brings the dry food." Ban Liao said while carefully observing the expressions of everyone in the wine shop.

The smell of blood was quite fresh, and it was probably what happened just now.

The guests at that table were clearly some of the generals who passed their convoy in the morning, and the waiters were very careful when serving the food, obviously very fearful - anyone who can open a shop in a place like this has some ability to protect themselves, and these waiters are also in good health.

Although they are strong, they are still so cautious. Maybe the bloody smell is related to them.

Just when Ban Liao wanted to remind everyone to be careful not to provoke others, a voice rang out from beside him: "Hey, the elder sisters over there look familiar. Is the one in green the one who shot down the big bird just now?

"

When he heard someone talking about himself, Qingzhu raised his head and glanced this way.

"Sister in Qingyi, your archery skills are so good; and the sister in yellow clothes, my second uncle said your riding skills and swordsmanship are also very good! I really envy you for being able to ride a horse. I don't think my second uncle will let you ride a horse.

, I can only sit in the carriage, and the journey is extremely uncomfortable - sister, where are you from?"

The girl in blue clothes, Li He, must have been held in the car for a long time. When she saw other girls riding horses and shooting arrows freely, she was extremely envious. She spoke a lot with her small mouth.

Ban Liao's face turned green and he made up his mind to keep the girl in the carriage next time.

Qingzhu didn't say anything, but Jinju was praised a few times, and she immediately became happy: "Your second uncle is quite discerning. We are all from Songjing. Don't worry about eating. We are going to visit Chu State, not to rush into the country."

You are here."

"What a coincidence, we are also -" Li He, the girl in blue, wanted to say more, but Li Shi quickly interrupted her.

"We are also going to the Chu Kingdom. I wonder where some of you are going to the Chu Kingdom?" Li Shi said eagerly, fearing that his niece would say, "We are also from Songjing."

"We haven't thought about this. My young master wants to travel to the Central Plains, but he has no fixed goal yet." Jin Ju said casually, not thinking about the city.

"If you want to travel to the Central Plains, Chu State is a must-go. I suggest you go to Mengshui Daze first. Mengshui Daze is known as the largest swamp in the world. It has a radius of thousands of miles and is as vast as the sea. It is said that there are dragons haunting it.

In addition, the Chu State has three famous mountains: Yunze Mountain, Taiming Mountain, and Qiheng Mountain, and it is said that immortals live in seclusion among them."

Li Shi introduced that he had lived in Chu State for ten years and was quite familiar with the scenery of Chu State. He was very captivating in just a few sentences.

"Master, shall we go and see these places?" Jin Ju turned to Lu Wu and asked.
