Enjoying the fruits of others' labor! How does a sect's holy son break through the defense

"kill?"

Lu Tu frowned slightly, somewhat surprised.

"You must be joking, Prefect. Do you think I need to do the deed if you want to kill someone?"

Ming Zhenyue, as the prefect of a prefecture, commanded hundreds of thousands of troops in Zhenzhou, and had many talented people under his command.

They were also officials who served the imperial court and received government stipends.

If you want power, you have power; if you want people, you have people. If you really want to kill someone, why make things so complicated?

Ming Zhenyue sighed, a hint of helplessness on his face.

"You don't understand, it's precisely because I hold a high position that I'm restricted in every way, and my every move is being watched."

"Now that the Emperor is seriously ill and the dynasty is in chaos, I have been forced to get involved in the power struggle."

"There's a slight misstep that could lead to utter ruin, so there are some things I can't do myself."

Lu Tu clicked his tongue, looking puzzled.

"If the governor truly wants to employ someone, he can directly approach the Cloud Sect. Why does he specifically seek me out?"

Even if you don't go to the Cloud Sect, you can go to the Sky-Supporting Sect, or even other states.

Finding a hitman isn't that difficult?

"That's why I said... let's make a win-win deal."

Ming Zhenyue revealed a cunning smile.

"Although you are exceptionally talented, your background is ultimately weak. Even if the Cloud Sect values ​​you, you will not make any significant contribution to the sect."

"To put it bluntly, you have never been able to gain the trust of the Cloud Sect and integrate into its core."

"But if you can secure 30% of the mining rights for the Cloud Void Spirit Vein for the Cloud Sect, that would be a different story."

"Think about it, the two major sects racked their brains to obtain 30% of the mining rights, but you got them. That's your ability. Who wouldn't be convinced?"

"Lu Tu, no matter how outstanding you are, you can't go far by fighting alone. Without the support of a powerful family, a single blow could cripple you."

Ming Zhenyue's words made Lü Tu fall into deep thought.

Regardless of the other party's motives for making this deal with him, these few sentences are indeed correct.

He can coast along by relying on being the main character.

Even if you only bind yourself to Ye Linxiao, you can still stand at the top of the pyramid.

But even the most outstanding protagonist needs time to grow.

Most importantly, he was indeed short of money.

"Whom does the governor want to kill?"

Seeing that Lü Tu seemed very interested in the deal, Ming Zhenyue chuckled.

"You really are a smart person."

After a moment of silence, he spoke slowly and deliberately.

"Tao Ci, the second young master of the Black Obsidian Prefecture!"

"Who? Tao Ci?"

Lu Tu immediately glared and shouted.

"Does the governor not know that those are my beloved relatives, brothers, and sworn brothers?"

Ming Zhenyue was completely dumbfounded.

Do you know Tao Ci?

No way, is it really that much of a coincidence?

So why are you still playing with snakes?

Unexpectedly, Lü Tu shook his head and said sullenly.

"I don't know him!"

"?"

So tell me what your hot...

Ming Zhenyue was speechless for a moment, then his face showed a hint of resentment.

"This Tao Ci is no good. Relying on his father being the prefect of the state, he acts tyrannically and commits all sorts of evil deeds. Moreover, he is a psychopath who enjoys killing."

"For example, last year, he went to a noodle shop to eat noodles. Just because the noodle shop owner put a few slices of beef in his bowl, he killed dozens of people in the entire noodle shop, including other customers, on the grounds that he didn't eat beef."

"Many people reported this to the authorities, but the local government was also a den of scoundrels, and they even secretly killed all those who reported it."

Lu Tu chuckled.

"If you can't solve the problem, then solve the people who created it?"

Ming Zhenyue's eyes lit up, and he agreed wholeheartedly.

"Yes, yes, that makes sense."

"Therefore, you have no psychological burden for killing Tao Ci. Such a beast would not escape punishment even if he died ten thousand times. You have rid the people of a scourge."

In fact, what he told Lü Tu was true; he didn't fabricate anything.

Tao Yuanming was indeed regarded as a wicked and lewd man, and everyone had the right to kill him.

But that's not important.

Importantly, the governor of Heiyao Prefecture...

He is a man of the First Prince, Wu Yuezhen.

That's right!

Ming Zhenyue planned to push two extraordinary geniuses, Lü Tu and Ye Linxiao, one to the eldest prince Wu Yuezhen and the other to the third princess Wu Yuesha.

After careful consideration.

Choose to give Lü Tu to Wu Yue Sha.

Lü Tu killed Tao Ci, which would inevitably put him on the opposite side of the eldest prince.

The enemy of my enemy is my friend, so the Third Princess will surely try to recruit Lü Tu.

At that time, Lü Tu was under the pressure of the eldest prince and had no way out, so he had no reason to refuse the third princess.

With the Third Princess holding the trump card of Lü Tu, the First Prince will surely be anxious and will definitely set his sights on recruiting the equally outstanding Ye Linxiao.

If Ye Linxiao didn't want the Cloud Sect to be destroyed, he had no choice but to submit.

As long as Ming Zhenyue can find a way to build a good relationship with these two extraordinary geniuses, no matter how the situation in the Immortal Martial World changes in the future, he will always have a way to protect himself.

This plan can be described as a stroke of genius!

Hehehe...

Just as Ming Zhenyue was inwardly praising his own intelligence,

Unexpectedly, Lü Tu suddenly said something.

"Sorry, I can't do this deal."

"what?"

Seeing Ming Zhenyue's smile abruptly stop, Lü Tu analyzed the situation with a serious expression.

"Prefect, look at this. By killing Tao Ci, I've essentially angered the entire Black Obsidian Prefecture."

"Let's not even talk about whether I can escape from Heiyao Prefecture after killing Tao Ci. Even if I could escape back to Yehua Prefecture, what then?"

"When the Black Obsidian Prefecture government gets angry and issues a bounty, tens of millions of martial artists will flood into Night Flower Prefecture to chop off my head. Who do you think can protect me then?"

"Relying on the Cloud Sect to protect me? I'm afraid even Sect Leader Ye will be chopped into mincemeat and deep-fried until golden brown on both sides."

Ming Zhenyue's expression froze, and he smacked his lips.

"Oh, this..."

Lu Tu raised his hand to interrupt, his eyes full of worldly wisdom.

"Prefect, look again! I took such a huge risk just for the mining rights to 30% of the Yunxu Spirit Vein."

"Even if we could mine three to five hundred million spirit stones, what then? We might earn them but not live to spend them."

"I'm quite comfortable in the Cloud Sect now. If I don't like someone, I'll just punch them twice. I flirt with senior sisters, punch geniuses, and verbally abuse elders. When I get angry, I can even curse at the sect leader."

"Why would I give up a good life and take such a risk?"

"Aren't you just being silly?"

Ming Zhenyue stroked his chin, too anxious to utter a single word.

"Oh, this..."

He wanted to refute it, but upon closer inspection, what Lü Tu said was indeed correct.

If things had gone according to his plan, the result would have been perfect.

But now Lu Tu isn't taking the bait at all, what should we do?

Just as Ming Zhenyue was anxiously searching for an explanation, Lü Tu suddenly changed the subject.

"unless......"

Ming Zhenyue's eyes suddenly lit up, his face full of urgency.

"Unless what?"

Lu Tu spoke with an arrogant expression, enunciating each word clearly.

"You need to pay more!"

"?"

Ming Zhenyue took a deep breath.

Sometimes he really wanted to beat this guy to death.

"So you think the money isn't enough? Tell me, how much do you want?"

Lu Tu extended his right hand, his five fingers spread open.

Every word was powerful and resounding!

"I want 50% of the mining rights to the Cloud Void Spirit Vein! And I want them personally, to be at my disposal."

"In addition to that, I also need two types of eighth-tier metal-attribute spiritual materials."

No sooner had he finished speaking than Ming Zhenyue slammed his fist on the table and stood up, shouting angrily.

"presumptuous!"

"Lu Tu, aren't you being a bit too greedy?"
