My son, how could you be Lü Bu?!

Chapter 35 Rushing to be Reincarnated

"It's already evening, why are there still so many riders heading towards the city?"

"Is it rushing to be reincarnated?!"

Watching Lü Ping and the others leave quickly, raising clouds of dust.

This caused several soldiers who were squatting beside their horses, eating dry rations and recovering their strength to look up at the dust, hide their rations, and look displeased.

One of the soldiers, who was a bit short-tempered, even started cursing.

The remaining soldiers all nodded.

Only Zheng Yong, who was at the head, stared thoughtfully at the departing riders.

"I think I just heard the voices of the Lü family father and son."

"Did you hear me?"

Hearing his young master suddenly ask a question.

The remaining soldiers were all stunned and exchanged glances.

The soldier who had first started cursing paused for a moment before speaking hesitantly.

"The man in the lead does look familiar; it seems to be Lü Ping, whom I met a while ago."

Seeing that his guess had been confirmed.

Zheng Yong nodded slightly, watching the departing figures of Lü Ping and the others, a hint of regret on his face.

"They were lucky this time!"

"If we had arrived any later, and only informed my younger brother, those Lü father and son would most likely have been hacked to pieces!"

Several soldiers also looked regretful.

"yes!"

"Everyone in the city says that the Lü family father and son are capable of charging into the hands of the Xianbei bastards, but what are the Xianbei bastards? They're all sallow-faced and emaciated! If it were us, we could kill several of them too!"

"That's right! If the Lü family father and son had arrived any later, their heads might have been used as lanterns and hung on the wall of their courtyard by our young master tomorrow!"

talking.

I imagined how miserable things might have been if the Lü father and son had left any later and encountered them.

The soldiers all sneered.

"alright!"

Hearing the sneers of the soldiers around him, Zheng Yong smiled and shook his head.

"We've rested enough; it's time for us to go!"

"Go check on my younger brother's situation. We need to tell them to reorganize in a different location. I expect scouts will be sent out from the city by tomorrow to thoroughly investigate the looting and burning of the grain supplies."

"After we've dealt with things outside the city, tomorrow we'll have to play the thief crying 'stop thief!' again!"

The smiles on the faces of the soldiers became increasingly sarcastic.

Yes.

Tomorrow we'll have to rely on them to catch these 'bandits,' won't we?

The soldier with narrow eyes was the first to mount his horse.

The remaining soldiers quickly put down their rations and followed.

The group joked and hurried toward the dense forest where they remembered the Zheng family's retainers were hiding.

It only took a short while.

These soldiers then rushed to the so-called hiding place in the dense forest.

Looking at the mess all around.

And his own younger brother Zheng Xin, who was surrounded in the very center, covered in wounds and bloodstains.

Zheng Yong froze instantly.

The soldiers stopped cursing and swearing in an instant.

And in the dense forest.

After finally seeing off Lü Ping and the Zheng family's retainers, the place was in an uproar.

They quickly organized a force to hunt down Lü Ping and his men to retrieve the secret letter, or to immediately notify their family, or to escape under cover of night...

There are all sorts of opinions.

At this moment, several figures suddenly appeared on the outskirts of the dense forest, seemingly Lu Ping and his men had returned. Zheng's retainers all turned their heads and fell silent, not daring to utter a word.

Zheng Xin, who had just finished writing his petition and was extremely weak, also struggled to look in that direction.

He has sharp eyes.

He could tell at a glance that it was his own brother.

Thinking about how he had just forced himself to sign and seal the document with Lü Ping in order to save his own life, thus plunging his family into an abyss of doom.

Zheng Xin didn't know how to face his elder brother.

He was terrified that his elder brother would beat him to death if he heard about the beastly things he had done. He tried to get up and run away, but he had just been slashed in the thigh by Lü Ping, and he had no strength left!

Not to mention the Zheng family's retinue surrounding him, who were still tightly surrounding him, fearing that the Lü family father and son might launch a surprise attack.

It was clear that he couldn't escape.

His own elder brother strode towards him again.

In his anxiety, Zheng Xin's blood surged, his eyes rolled back, and he fainted!

This startled the Zheng family retainers around them.

They gasped in astonishment!

......

"Is this the government office of Jiuyuan City?"

The next day, early morning.

The bright sunshine made the willows outside the government office shine even brighter.

Standing inside the courtyard of the government office.

Lu Ping gazed thoughtfully at the government office, which was much taller and older than the other houses around it.

"Is this your first time here, Zizhi?"

His side.

Seeing his expression, Shen Pei assumed that Lü Ping had never seen such a large government office before, and asked with a smile.

"Is it big?"

"Pei comes from a prominent family in Wei Commandery and has seen many grand occasions since childhood. However, when he first went to Luoyang a few years ago and saw the North and South Palaces of Luoyang, he was extremely shocked!"

"This government office in Jiuyuan City was originally built during Wang Mang's reign. Although it cannot compare to Luoyang City, it is still much larger than government offices in other places!"

Upon hearing that this government office was actually built during Wang Mang's Xin Dynasty, which is now a hundred or two hundred years old, Lü Ping couldn't help but look up and take a few more glances.

When asked about his identity, he thought about it carefully for a moment and then nodded slowly.

"It's barely considered very big."

"Is that considered pretty big?" Shen Pei, who had originally wanted to see Lu Ping's shocked expression, was instead amused by Lu Ping.

"Has Zizhi ever seen anything bigger?"

"I've seen it in my dream."

Lu Ping nodded with a smile.

Occasionally, when he sleeps, he dreams of those skyscrapers from his past life, which isn't exactly a lie.

"Zizhi is truly interesting!"

Hearing this, Shen Pei was amused even more, which attracted the curious glances of the passing clerks on duty.

It took Shen Pei quite a while to recover.

He composed himself, pulled Lü Ping towards the house, and said earnestly.

"Alright, I'm not kidding anymore."

"Zizhi, I called you here so early in the morning because I have something important to discuss."

Looking at Shen Pei, who was in a rare good mood, Lü Ping felt helpless.

He naturally knew that Shen Pei had something to discuss with him. Otherwise, why would he stay up all night, neglecting to comfort Cao Xing, Wei Yue, and others who had just risked their lives with him yesterday, and neglecting to win over Fan Ge'er, who had Zhang Liao's power? What was he doing coming over so early in the morning?

Before Lü Ping could ask a question.

Shen Pei then straightened his face and spoke first.

"I have already handed over the documents regarding yesterday's matter to Fang Bo. Fang Bo will have someone handle the rest, so Zi Zhi need not worry about it."

"And today, there are two main things."

"Firstly, due to the recent war, our Jiuyuan City has become a gathering place for weapons, provisions, and soldiers. Many brave soldiers from various counties have flocked to it and fought fiercely in the city. In addition, during the reign of that Prince, the military was corrupt, and the combat effectiveness of the Wuyuan County soldiers was low and the soldiers were not well-trained."

"As the governor of Bingzhou, Wang Fangbo has the responsibility to temporarily coordinate the troops and replenish the manpower to ensure the smooth progress of the war."

"I recommended Zizhi to the governor."

As she spoke, Shen Pei glanced at Lü Ping, her smile growing even wider.

Lu Ping remained calm; he naturally knew.

This was the reward for leading a group of people to do things for Shen Pei and Wang Yun, and to find evidence to destroy the Zheng family.

Shen Pei continued.

"The county's soldiers are short by about five hundred. As a military officer, Zizhi must work with his colleagues in the government to recruit good soldiers to make up the required number. At the same time, he must also stop the soldiers in the city from causing trouble for no reason."

Lü Ping nodded slightly.

Recruiting soldiers and restoring order in the city?!

Although it is only a temporary authority, it is nonetheless very important!

"Secondly, the renowned Cai Yong, also known as Cai Bojie, will be arriving in Jiuyuan City in the next couple of days."

"There will be many people going out to greet him. Zizhi, see if you can teach your son Fengxian to go out of the city as well to greet him, so that he can leave a good impression on Cai Bojie."

Instructing an illiterate like Lü Bu to greet Cai Yong?

Are you kidding me?

Lu Ping knew that Cai Yong had a bad temper and always looked down on people of lower status.

If I were to actually teach my eldest son to fawn over someone who wouldn't listen, who knows if the two of them would end up fighting on the spot?!

Lu Ping took a deep breath, then hesitated, as if he wanted to say something but couldn't.
