Three Kingdoms: I, Yuan Shu, Loyal Officials of the Han Dynasty

Chapter 110 Bu Pingsheng did not like fighting, but only liked to resolve conflicts.

"Ji Ling?"
You!!! How dare you do this!

The tent was completely silent. Everyone stared at Lü Bu's blood-soaked hand with increasingly strange looks.

Ji Ling's reputation as unparalleled in the world was well-deserved; even Lu Bu, caught off guard, suffered a loss in one move.

Some believed that Ji Ling's mockery of Lü Bu meant he was doomed, and Lü Bu would not tolerate such an insult. A great battle between the two, a clash between the world's top warriors, was about to unfold.

However, contrary to what everyone expected, Lü Bu only stared at Ji Ling with a gloomy expression, wanting to lash out but holding back.

Lu Bu truly hadn't expected this!

He had only heard Guan Yu say that Ji Ling's hidden weapons were extremely powerful and cunning, and should not be underestimated.

He still thought it was a minor skill and didn't take it seriously.

But little did he know, it was such a hidden weapon! And so cunning!

Hiding spiked armor under one's robes means that no matter how skilled you are in martial arts, if you reach out to grab it without prior knowledge, you will inevitably be stabbed. That's truly inhuman.

Of course, such hidden weapons can only defend against unarmed attacks. If Lü Bu takes the Fangtian Halberd, he will surely kill this man.

But if he had known in advance that there was such a hidden weapon under his robes and used his halberd, why would he have tried to catch it with his bare hands? If he hadn't known in advance, how would he have been able to defend himself?

This person's skill with hidden weapons is indeed unique, reaching a level of unparalleled mastery.

What terrified Lü Bu the most was that he suddenly felt dizzy and lightheaded.
Damn it! Just as Guan Yu said, Ji Lingguo is extremely treacherous and cunning. Could it be that this hidden weapon is also poisoned?

Seeing Lü Bu grit his teeth and his face turn sinister, Ji Ling remained calm on the surface, but was inwardly alarmed. He tried his best to maintain a composed tone.

"General Lü, there is no need to panic. This is the armor that I usually wear for self-defense."

I never expected the general to make a sudden move, so I didn't have time to warn him.

However, General, do not worry. The substance applied to it is just ordinary anesthetic. You can have a doctor examine it quickly to find out.

Mr. Ji decided not to stay any longer.

Upon hearing that it was an anesthetic, Lü Bu breathed a sigh of relief, and his expression softened slightly.

Seeing that Ji Ling was about to leave, he hurriedly mustered his strength to stop her.

Thinking back to his experience of having his hands covered in blood, Lü Bu was also shocked.

Daring not to underestimate the unpredictable hidden weapons of Ji Lingjiao and act rashly, he ordered his soldiers to block his path.

Ji Ling was furious when he saw that his way was blocked. "General Lü, what is the meaning of this?"

"Do you intend to help Liu Bei kill Ji Ling?"

While ordering a physician to be summoned to bandage the wound and examine for poisoning, Lü Bu, despite his dizziness, offered an explanation.

"No."

"Very well, then it is time to kill Liu Da'er! I, Ji, will assist you."

"No, that's not it either."

"Why neither kill him nor me?"

"General Lü can't possibly intend to massacre both our families here, can he?"

Lu Bu was furious at Ji Ling's rudeness, but he was under the influence of anesthesia and was somewhat weak. He was also wary of Ji Ling's hidden weapons and dared not make a move.

If he were to lift Ji Ling up like a child, it would be to demonstrate his strength to Ji Ling and subdue him.

If the soldiers were to come and capture him, it would be to create enmity, to completely bind Liu Bei's broken ship, and to start a war with Yuan Shu.

After all, you invited people to a banquet, and they came because they trusted you. But if you end up capturing or killing their general, wouldn't Yuan Shu lead his troops to attack?
However, given Yuan Shu's previous offer of a marriage alliance, Lü Bu is not yet ready to take sides immediately. Instead, he prefers to switch sides back and forth between the two families, creating a balance of power.

Therefore, at this moment, he was torn between killing Ji Ling and fearing his hidden weapons, as he was like a porcupine, leaving him with no way to deal with him.

Faced with Ji Ling's questioning, Lü Bu sighed helplessly.

"General Ji, please give me some face and sit down to talk."

I have invited you here not to kill you, nor to kill Xuande.

Because Xuande and Bu Nai were brothers, and Xuande was trapped by the general, Lü Te came to their rescue.

Ji Ling was also wary, fearing that he might anger Lü Bu and cause him to be killed in a fit of rage. Even with his unparalleled martial arts skills, he feared he would be outnumbered.

So, he was lucky enough to defeat Lü Bu with one move today. This earth-shattering achievement has not yet been spread, and he is already dead. Isn't that a pity?

Therefore, although he was flustered inside, he pretended to be calm on the surface, sat back in the tent, and laughed coldly.

"If that's the case, then we still have to kill Ji."

“This is illogical. Lord Yuan is Bu’s in-law, whom he is not yet in a relationship with.”

How can one kill a general under one's in-laws before the marriage is even settled?

"Then let's kill Big Ear! Let's unite our families through marriage and be friends forever!"

Hearing him repeatedly call out "kill Big Ear," Zhang Fei could no longer tolerate it. He drew his sword and shouted:

"Ji Ling, though my troops are few, I am not afraid of you! How do you compare to a million Yellow Turbans? If you dare to harm my brother, I will kill you!"

Ji Ling deliberately exposed the blood of Lü Bu that had pierced his robe with sharp spikes, and sneered at it, saying:

I regard you all as child's play!

"You black bastard, you dare to say you'll kill me?"

"What if I kill you? Do you think I'm afraid of you?"

Seeing how powerful his hidden weapons were, even Lü Bu was injured in one move and his second brother was defeated and fled in three moves, Zhang Fei was also intimidated, but he still showed no sign of being convinced.

"Stop spouting nonsense. If you're so capable, come out of the tent and fight him three hundred rounds!"

"Let's fight!"

Ji Ling knew that Zhang Fei was formidable, and since they were suddenly facing off today, she hadn't prepared any special countermeasures against his hidden weapons, and she felt somewhat guilty.

Zhang Fei, seeing the shocking sight of Lü Bu's blood on Ji Ling's robes, worried that Ji Ling might be cunning and use an unpredictable hidden weapon to injure him. He feared that if he wasn't careful, he might also lose face.

So the two of them were arguing fiercely, but they didn't move an inch.

"You black bastard, didn't you say you wanted to fight for three hundred rounds? Why aren't you leaving yet?"

"If you don't leave, how can I leave? You go first, and I will follow soon."

"What a joke! If I were to leave first, and you were to fear my reputation and dare not come to fight, wouldn't you be making a fool of me?"

"How dare you insult me? I, Zhang Fei, have never been afraid of you! How could I not come! Go away at once!"

"They neither advance nor retreat; are they afraid of me?"

"Why would I be afraid of you? I'm afraid you won't dare to come!"
Therefore, you should all go out together, without any distinction of order.

"Fine, I'll leave then. What are you afraid of?"

Guan Yu, the only one in the room who knew Ji Ling's background, stroked his beard and smiled, thus helping Zhang Fei out of the predicament.

"Why bother talking to him, Third Brother? Let me, Guan, fight him."

Ji Ling scoffed, "Your underlings are spendthrifts, worthless cowards, yet you dare to talk about war?"
"I won't kill you, you rat, with my blade. Let your third brother fight instead."

Guan Yu: "???"

"You wretch! Come and fight me now, and I will surely kill you!"

Seeing that the others were being persuaded by his words, they were about to go out and fight.

Lü Bu, having recovered after receiving treatment from a physician, saw the situation and said to him:
"Please wait, everyone!"

Having witnessed firsthand the power of Ji Ling's hidden weapons, Liu Bei realized that he had almost injured Lü Bu with a single careless move.

At this moment, he couldn't help but worry about his two brothers, so he quickly spoke up to comfort them.

"General Lü is hosting a banquet today. Let's see what his intentions are. Then we can return to our camps and fight."

“What you say is very true, my brother.”

Lü Bu chuckled and raised his cup, "People have a great misunderstanding about me. They all think that I love fighting and being fierce. This is a misunderstanding."

Bu Ping was not fond of fighting, but rather of resolving conflicts.
