My son, how could you be Lü Bu?!

Chapter 124 Lü Bu's Suppression

Goushi Mountain.

Lu Bu sat in the main hall, his face blank.

On the left and right sat Gongsun Zan, his eyes slightly dark and his face expressionless, and Lu Zheng and Lu Zihe, their faces bruised and swollen with complex expressions.

As for those few collateral descendants of the Heluo aristocratic families...

Early in the battle, he wisely withdrew, thus avoiding an unnecessary beating. He simply stood at the doorway, peering inside.

at this time.

Noticing the gazes of the senior brothers standing at the door, Lü Bu also turned his head and glanced at the two sitting beside him.

When he met Lu Zheng and Lu Zihe's gaze, he saw the confusion in Lu Zheng's eyes, as if his trust had been betrayed.

Lu Bu's expression immediately turned bitter.

to be frank.

He originally didn't want to take action.

After all, the other side was Gongsun Zan, a fellow warrior from the border region, while the other side was Lu Zheng, who had been quite kind to him.

If you take action yourself, it's wrong to attack anyone else.

However, due to the escalating conflict between the two, Lu Zheng and Lu Zihe kept using themselves to provoke Gongsun Zan.

Although Gongsun Zan suffered a major defeat, he continued to keep a close eye on the war in the north.

Upon hearing Lü Bu's name and deeds, he immediately scoffed and exposed Lü Bu's identity on the spot, causing Lu Zheng to be astonished and retreat repeatedly.

Without Lü Bu's protection, Lu Zheng was quickly beaten up by Gongsun Zan.

Seeing that his identity had been exposed and Lu Zheng had been beaten, the two became entangled and feared that things would escalate further. Lu Bu tried to persuade him, but no one listened to him.

Even because of his background, the moment he opened his mouth, he was mocked in unison by Gongsun Zan and Lu Zheng, who were fighting together.

Lu Bu, his face contorted with anger, sneered several times before striking, treating both men equally and giving them a thorough beating.

Gongsun Zan was alright; relying on his skill, he hadn't suffered much loss. After being punched a few times by Lü Bu, he was shaken and voluntarily let go.

It's just a pity for Lu Zheng and Lu Zihe; first they were beaten down by Gongsun Zan, and then they were suddenly attacked by the red-hot Lü Bu.

Two punches.

Having been beaten twice in a row, he now looked like a resentful woman, his eyes darting around as he stared at Lü Bu.

"Fengxian, you've really mastered the art of deception!"

"Zheng never expected that this disciple of Master Cai would be a warrior from the border region."

Lu Bu gave a wry smile, shook his head repeatedly, and didn't know what to say.

As for the rather vengeful Gongsun Zan, he was originally eyeing Lü Bu, who was shooting and killing Tan Shihuai, with a glint in his eyes.

Upon hearing Lu Zheng speak, a shadow crossed his eyes. He glanced past Lü Bu and looked at Lu Zheng.

Despite being hit, Lu Zheng straightened his back and glared at Gongsun Zan without flinching, feeling Gongsun Zan's gaze.

If it weren't for Lü Bu sitting in the center, suppressing these two...

Lu Bu had no doubt that the two would start fighting one-sidedly again, with the two screaming in agony.

Lu Bu was somewhat annoyed that his studies had been ruined like this.

But... at least I don't have to start studying with them right after I arrive.

Lu Bu's eyes lit up slightly again!

After all, sitting is better than reading, and he hoped that the servant who went to find Lu Zhi would arrive later.

He planned to get through these two days of rest and return directly to the palace to serve as a court official.

But... things didn't go as planned.

Just as Lü Bu's eyes lit up, a series of hurried footsteps sounded outside the courtyard.

Footsteps could be heard.

The three people in the hall kept looking up.

The young men from the prominent families of Heluo who were standing outside immediately composed themselves, quickly stepped aside, and bowed respectfully toward the source of the voice, addressing him as Master Lu.

Followed by.

A middle-aged man with a dignified face and dressed simply appeared at the entrance of the lobby.

Then I saw this person appear.

Gongsun Zan and Lu Zheng, who had been at odds, changed their expressions slightly, lowered their heads, and stood up one after another.

Lu Bu lowered his brows slightly and stood up as well.

The middle-aged scholar slowly walked in and stood before the three men. His face was cold, and he didn't say a word, but simply sized up Lü Bu.

Lu Bu looked up and met his gaze.

In Luoyang City.

Lu Ping was afraid that on his first day of school, his eldest son, who had beaten up the eldest son and disciples of other families, would bring trouble upon himself.

Upon seeing Lu Zhi leave, he didn't dare say a word and fled as if his life depended on it.

After all, he was in the Ministry of Personnel, where there were many officials, and he had not yet left the Ministry of Personnel.

Then you see three or five minor officials surrounding a young scholar, showering him with compliments.

"Brother Wenju, your reputation is soaring these days."

"Even Minister Yang specially invited you to serve as his clerk."

"That's right. Brother Wenju has been giving away pears since he was a child. His reputation for giving away pears has been built up over more than ten years."

'

Faced with the compliments from the crowd, the young scholar, who was addressed as Brother Wenju, simply waved his hand.

On his face, however, an undisguised arrogance appeared.

Wenju? Who shared pears from a young age?

Could this young scholar be Kong Rong, the protagonist of the famous story of Kong Rong sharing pears, who was born in the State of Lu?

Lu Ping was just passing by when he overheard the conversation among the minor officials, and his heart stirred slightly.

He saw the clerk who had led him into the Ministry of Personnel standing there, and he went up to him, grabbed the clerk, and asked him questions.

The minor official, preoccupied with currying favor with the young scholar, suddenly flung his sleeve away, shaking off Lü Ping's hand and ignoring him completely.

The young scholar noticed the commotion and looked at Lü Ping with curiosity, asking the clerk a question.

"Who is this?"

The minor official waved his hand.

"He's just a general from the border region who came to see the Minister of the Imperial Secretariat to ask him some questions."

I heard the words "border region".

The young scholar's interest vanished instantly. He looked away and resumed chatting with the minor officials in front of him.

This gesture left Lü Ping utterly astonished. He frowned slightly, too lazy to make a fool of himself, and turned to leave.

He had only heard Han Hao say that the scions of noble families in Luoyang were all very arrogant.

Even among scholars from aristocratic families, there was a hierarchy of contempt. Scholars from the Heluo region always looked down on scholars from aristocratic families in the border counties.

If even aristocratic scholars are like this, one can only imagine how a border warrior like Lü Ping would fare.

When Lü Ping encountered a setback with Kong Rong, it was the first time he personally experienced this hierarchy of contempt.

Thinking this way.

Lu Ping shook his head slightly and strode towards the outside of the Ministry of Personnel, preparing to return to his temporary lodging.

The Ministry of Personnel was quite large, and it took him a long time to finally reach the edge of the government office.

Just as he was about to step out of the government office...

In front.

A flurry of footsteps sounded, and suddenly several eunuchs with bowed backs emerged.

Immediately afterwards, the middle-aged eunuch, with his back straight and hands behind his back, and a haughty expression on his face, slowly walked towards Lü Ping.

Beside this middle-aged eunuch was Tian Yan, the general who had defeated the Xianbei.
