My older brother is Gao Huan.

Chapter 487 The Li Family of Zhao County
Lu Cao then spoke up, "I have a treasure to present to the Prime Minister."

"Oh? He Bao?"

"Please wait a moment, Prime Minister."

Lu Cao then kept everyone in suspense, piquing everyone's curiosity.

Gao Yu was also very curious.

Lu Hui seemed to know something, and sighed, "It must be something he obtained on the island before."

"Oh?"

Gao Yu looked at him and asked in return, "Something from an island?"

Lu Hui nodded and said, "Two years ago, Liu Lingzhu, the governor of Youzhou, heard that Lu Cao was known for his bravery and wanted to recruit him to his service. However, Lu Cao was unwilling to serve him. At that time, he was in Jizhou. In order to avoid Liu Lingzhu, he took his clan's troops and sailed out to sea. Unexpectedly, he found a giant skeleton on an island. It was huge."

"He took the skull to make a trough for the horse and the shinbone to make two long spears. After Liu Lingzhu was defeated, Lu Cao returned from the island and regarded the long spears made from the giant Bin's shinbone as treasures."

giant?

Lu Cao was nine feet tall, which was already comparable to a 'giant' in the eyes of ordinary people.

Productivity was low in ancient times.

People at the bottom of society should be grateful to God for having enough to eat and not starving to death, and be thankful that they are blessed by God.

Naturally, it's impossible to consider nutritional balance, let alone have sufficient protein intake.

In historical records, the record of killing a hundred people is not necessarily a deliberate attempt to praise someone.

The fierce generals recorded in history were all tall and strong, either exceptionally talented or from wealthy families, and had a good diet with plenty of protein from a young age.

A well-developed person, clad in heavy armor, facing a hundred unarmored individuals who are also stunted due to negative influences, would indeed be able to move through an empty field. Not to mention killing a hundred people, as long as he has the strength to wield his weapon, killing a thousand people would be no problem.

"Then I really need to take a good look and see what kind of treasure it is."

It doesn't take a while.

Then you can hear noises coming from outside.

That's why novels are often said to be artistic interpretations of reality.

Gao Yu felt like he was watching a scene from "Journey to the West," specifically the scene where the Monkey King goes to the Dragon Palace of the East Sea to borrow weapons.

Lu Cao walked ahead, followed by six servants lined up in a row, each with a flushed face, because of the 'items' they carried on their shoulders.

It was a completely white object, shaped like a lance.
"Prime Minister, this was made from the remains of a giant that I obtained by chance on an island. I usually use this to train my strength."

The servants struggled to place the item on the ground, and soon they were all panting heavily from exhaustion.

Gao Yu stepped forward and looked down at the 'long spear'. At a glance, it was at least seven feet long. What kind of monster's shinbone could be so long?
Gao Yang followed, "Uncle, let me give it a try?"

Gao Yu nodded.

Gao Yang was overjoyed and wanted to show off his skills, but when he bent down to pick up the long spear made of shinbone, he found that... he couldn't pick it up at all.

He was both ashamed and angry, his face turned bright red, and he let out a low growl like a wild beast. He managed to lift the spear off the ground, but it didn't go past his knees before he fell heavily back to the ground.

Lu Cao glanced at him and said, "You have some ability, but you lack strength."

Gao Yang was filled with shame and indignation, yet he was unable to refute her.

"Let me give it a try!"

Gao Jishi also came over, but he wasn't much better off than Gao Yang. He also reached about knee height before his strength gave out, and he fell to the ground again.

Gao Yang's complexion improved considerably. It wasn't that he lacked ability; it was just that the thing was too heavy.

Peng Le rolled up his sleeves and stepped forward as well.

"what!!"

He shouted, "Get up!!"

He finally managed to lift the long spear, but Peng Le's situation was not optimistic; he had already pushed himself to his limit with the effort of lifting.

"The Prime Minister has capable men under his command."

Lu Cao unexpectedly praised Peng Le, which can be considered as acknowledgment of Peng Le.

Gao Yu also became interested and, before Gao Yang could, said, "I'll give it a try."

Gao Yu rolled up his sleeves and stepped forward, attracting everyone's attention.

"You all get out of the way."

Gao Yu waved his hand, signaling everyone to make way for him. He took a deep breath, bent down, and grabbed the long spear with one hand. To everyone's astonishment, he lifted the spear with one hand.

"This item does have some weight."

Subsequently.

Everyone gasped in astonishment, speechless.

Even Lu Cao was stunned. Gao Yu wielded the long spear with incredible skill, swinging it with one arm, the sound of it cutting through the air constantly ringing out.

After playing around for a while, Gao Yu finally stopped.

Lu Hui and others immediately praised it.

"The Prime Minister is truly powerful!"

"Even if the ancient overlords were to be resurrected, they would be no more than this."

"No wonder the late emperor gave the prime minister such high praise."

"........."

Hearing about something and seeing it with your own eyes are completely different concepts.

seeing is believing.

They had only heard about how impressive Gao Yu's achievements were, such as breaking through 300,000 with only 3,000...

Seeing this, he finally understood why Gao Yu was able to break through an army of 300,000 men with only 3,000 men, and why so many people were devoted to Gao Yu, so many powerful families placed their hopes on him, believing that he would be the one to mend the world again, replace the Great Wei, and become the ruler of the world.

They had never seen how majestic the living Overlord was, but now they had seen Gao Yu.

After a long pause, Lu Cao said with genuine admiration, "The Prime Minister is indeed incredibly brave. Fortunately, I didn't bring shame upon myself before."

"Hahaha."

Gao Yu laughed loudly, "Today I have gained a fierce general and this treasure, it is worth celebrating! Come! Everyone, drink with me!"

Lu Cao did not refuse, and even took the initiative to stand up, pick up his wine glass, and respectfully toast Gao Yu.

Lu Hui even summoned the singing girls from his mansion to dance and entertain everyone.

Until the banquet was about to end.

Lu Hui made up an excuse, got up, and hurriedly went outside.

Soon after, several more people arrived.

“I have a beautiful concubine in my household. You may summon her to serve the Prime Minister in bed tonight.”

"Hmph, then let my lady do it. She has been beautiful since childhood and is skilled in singing and dancing..."

Since ancient times, heroes have been sad for beauty.

What man isn't lustful?

Gao Yu is currently in the position of Prime Minister, and even if someone were willing to send him a woman of marriageable age from their clan, they might not be able to arrange a marriage as desired.

But he sent concubines to serve him in bed.

Although it hurts to spend the money, most beautiful women are meant for personal enjoyment.

But if we can connect with Gao Yu in such a low-cost way, this deal is a sure win.

A beautiful concubine can always be found again if one is willing.

This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to connect with Gao Yu; who knows when Gao Yu will come to Youzhou again.

Lu Hui shook his head. "That's not appropriate."

He hadn't even finished speaking.

But then one of them spoke up, “I have a daughter who has been beautiful since she was a child. Why don’t we let her serve me tonight?”

Everyone was stunned.

This was because the person who spoke was of high status.

He came on behalf of Li Yuanzhong, the Prefect of Anzhou, and like Li Yuanzhong, he came from the Li clan of Zhao County.

Whether it's the Li family of Longxi or the Li family of Zhaojun.

They all began to emerge during the Sixteen Kingdoms period and flourished during the Northern Wei Dynasty.

Li Chong, Li Chong, Li Hui...

These were all ministers whose names are recorded in history. Being able to hold high positions in the central government, they could naturally protect their clans and help them grow stronger.

Although Emperor Xiaowen designated Zheng, Wang, Lu, and Cui as the four major surnames when he established clan names, the Li clan was actually no less powerful than these four.

Daughter of the Li family of Zhao County.

This identity...

That's something no concubine could compare to.

They really went all out.
