My son, how could you be Lü Bu?!

Chapter 125 Rebuking Wang Fu

Almost the instant he caught sight of Tian Yan standing beside the eunuch, Lü Ping immediately realized the middle-aged eunuch's identity.

This man is none other than Wang Fu, the head of the Ten Attendants, who is currently at the height of his power!

He was also the elder brother of Wang Zhi, the governor of Wuyuan County, with whom he had a blood feud.

Wang Fu was surrounded by a dozen or so eunuchs, and led by Tian Yan, they swaggered toward Lü Ping.

"Attendant, this is Lü Zizhi," Tian Yan said in a low voice to Wang Fu beside him, pointing at Lü Ping.

"When I went to war with him before, he was the one who led the vanguard and shot down that sandalwood tree."

Tian Yan had previously become the commander-in-chief of the campaign against the Xianbei by following Wang Fu's path. Knowing that his reputation was already mostly ruined, he had no psychological burden about currying favor with eunuchs.

Upon hearing Tian Yan's introduction, Wang Fu looked arrogant and sized up Lü Ping.

He didn't say a word, just stood there, looking at Lü Ping coldly as if he were looking at a defeated dog.

Lu Ping, unable to figure out what the two were up to, simply stood there without saying a word.

Seeing the two of them standing facing each other, Tian Yan knew better than to stand by Lü Ping's side and tugged at Lü Ping's sleeve, whispering words of advice.

"Zizhi, this gentleman before you is Attendant Wang Fu. He heard of your great achievements and was delighted, so he specially summoned me here to meet you together."

"Go forward quickly and pay your respects to the Attendant."

Joy in my heart?

Upon hearing this, Lü Ping couldn't help but glance at Tian Yan, and then sized up Wang Fu opposite him.

He couldn't detect the slightest bit of joy in Wang Fu's eyes.

Lu Ping guessed that if he were in Wang Fu's shoes...

When faced with an enemy who killed their own nephew and then performed a great service, they would only grit their teeth in hatred and want to get rid of him as soon as possible.

Where is there any joy?

Even if what Tian Yan said is true, that Wang Fu doesn't care about his nephew's life or death and is happy with him.

Lü Ping couldn't possibly become Wang Fu's dog. He wasn't Tian Yan; he couldn't possibly give up a promising future to serve a eunuch!

In his previous life, he had read so many novels, but he had never met many time travelers who associated with eunuchs.

Thinking this, Lü Ping composed himself and shook his head slightly.

Before Tian Yan could react.

Looking back in the direction they had come from, Kong Rong and Kong Wenju's entourage expanded again, now consisting of more than a dozen officials who accompanied them.

The noise was loud.

The dozen or so officials drew ever closer.

Lu Ping's eyes flickered, and he immediately sneered and shouted curses.

"When Ping first came to Luoyang, he only knew that there was an emperor in the palace who ruled over all the people, and ministers who served the people. He had no idea that there were any messy eunuchs!"

talking.

He suddenly flicked his sleeve, shaking off Tian Yan's hand that was holding him, and looked at Tian Yan again, coldly shouting.

"The General of the Central Army previously fought alongside Taira in the north, and there is some friendship between them."

"Ping kindly advises the General: We are military men from the border regions, the emperor's blade, and should serve him!"

"How could I possibly attach myself to these eunuchs for the sake of fleeting wealth and fame?!"

"Aren't you afraid of being tainted with filth and having no descendants?!"

Lu Ping launched into a tirade of curses, his words practically aimed at Tian Yan's nose.

Enraged, Tian Yan, who had been feeling uneasy ever since he sided with the eunuch, trembled with rage and wished he could draw his sword on the spot and point it at Lü Ping.

Wang Fu, on the other hand, seemed to have been scolded a lot, and his expression was relatively stable at this moment. He just looked at Lü Ping and smiled lightly.

"You're going to have some fun here."

"Despite being from a border region, when he speaks of profound principles, he's just like those scholars, spouting off one sentence after another."

talking.

Wang Fu noticed a large number of officials who had heard the commotion and were walking in this direction.

He was slightly taken aback, but couldn't help but raise his eyes and take another look at Lü Ping, who was so passionate and fearless.

Wang Fu led a dozen or so eunuchs, walking slowly in front of Lü Ping.

"Lu Zizhi, you know what you did in Wuyuan."

"So much so that my younger brother repeatedly wrote to me, wishing he could skin me alive and eat my flesh."

Wang Fu spoke softly, in a voice only the two of them could hear.

"However, I am different from my younger brother. I cherish your talent and would like to give you a chance."

"If you want to live, just kneel before me, and I will forgive your previous words."

"Even the feud with my nephew can be ignored by Fu."

That's all.

Wang Fu stared intently at Lü Ping, awaiting his reply.

Lu Ping remained expressionless, only shaking his head slightly.

to be frank.

In Lü Ping's view, Wang Fu had already shown enough sincerity.

As the head of the Ten Attendants, he held most of the power in the country by virtue of the emperor's remaining authority. He also had a blood feud with the emperor's younger brother, so he could have easily had someone kill him.

But he didn't. In fact, after I entered the government office, he came to find me personally, wanting to subdue me.

If he were Tian Yan, he might actually be won over by Wang Fu's attitude.

Unfortunately, Lü Ping is not Tian Yan.

I could feel the footsteps getting closer and closer behind me.

Lu Ping suddenly flew into a rage, took a step back, pointed at Wang Fu's nose, and shouted angrily.

"What are you?"

"A mere eunuch without any testicles! A dog kept by the emperor! How dare he promise me life and death?"

"You have fought in more than ten battles, surviving piles of corpses; why would you fear my threats?"

His spittle flew everywhere, almost splattering on Wang Fu's face, who was standing inches away from him.

"That's what Lü Ping is saying."

The footsteps behind him grew heavier and closer.

Even Lü Ping could hear the rapid breathing of the officials behind him.

"What's going on? How dare Wang Fu leave the palace and come to our government office?!"

"Who is this man? He looks like a border general who entered the city with Tian Yan!"

"That's quite a scolding! This man really has some nerve!"

"Indeed! He is far better than Tian Yan, who devoted himself to eunuchs for fame and fortune."

A dozen or so officials escorted Kong Rong, who had just been recruited as an aide in the household of Minister Yang.

Hearing Lü Ping's outburst of curses, their eyes lit up, and they began to discuss it amongst themselves.

Even Kong Rong dared to step forward, just like Lü Ping, and pointed at Wang Fu and Tian Yan, coldly cursing them.

Seeing the group of officials arrive, they knew that it wouldn't be long before a large number of soldiers and officers would flock to watch the spectacle.

Wang Fu merely sneered, knowing Lü Ping's choice, and too lazy to argue with Lü Ping and Kong Rong.

He turned around and was about to leave with a dozen or so eunuchs.

Only Tian Yan, who was originally overjoyed but was scolded, had an uncertain expression on his face.

He glared coldly at Lü Ping before following Wang Fu away.

Seeing that Wang Fu and Tian Yan had both left, the group of officials behind them stepped forward and surrounded Lü Ping, asking him all sorts of questions out of curiosity.

This was quite different from his previous indifferent attitude when Lü Ping had asked him.

Lu Ping's eyes flickered, as if he had never sought out this group of people before, and he answered with a smile.
