Zhang Ji saw that Lu Bu's strength was so shocking that if he was thrown out by Lu Bu, he would definitely die. However, he did not expect Lu Bu to not use too much strength. Zhang Ji felt as if he had been sent down by someone. After all, Zhang Ji was not an easy person. As long as Lu Bu did not intend to kill him, Zhang Ji could still protect himself. Therefore, when Zhang Ji was thrown out by Lu Bu, he seemed to be borrowing strength from the air. He flipped beautifully and landed steadily on the ground. The people in the hall did not see anything fishy between the two of them. They only felt that their fight was very exciting. If they were asked if they felt anything else, then they did not.
Zhang Ji had mixed feelings in his heart. This was the first time he had fought against an expert, but he had actually lost so miserably. His opponent was actually so powerful that he was afraid of him. He was so powerful that Zhang Ji did not dare to compare himself with him.
At the same time, Zhang Ji was also a little grateful to him. One had to know that if he was defeated in front of the Emperor and lost his image, it meant that his future official career would be completely blocked. Wasn't the ancient people betting on their wives and children? Thus, Zhang Ji was extremely grateful to Lu Bu. It was the feeling of meeting a confidant.
Lu Bu definitely didn't know that he had only wanted to sell a favor, but he had sold a confidant. He even smiled at Zhang Ji. Lu Bu's unintentional action made Zhang Ji feel that Lu Bu was his confidant.
Zhang Ji looked at him in a daze and said,"General Zhang Ji, if you're alright, let's continue the competition.”Zhang Ji nodded and stood up to confront Lu Bu. He looked at Zhang Ji and said,""General Zhang, attack as you wish."
Zhang Ji nodded, but he still did not attack. Lu Bu saw that Han Lingdi and the others could not hold it in any longer, so he said helplessly,""General Zhang Ji, hurry up and attack. If His Majesty blames us, neither Lu Bu nor the other can bear the consequences.”Zhang Ji nodded lightly and shouted,"Sorry for offending you." Lu Bu immediately threw a straight punch at Zhang Ji. He was prepared to finish him off, but he still reached out his left hand to grab Zhang Ji's wrist. Zhang Ji suddenly changed his stance. He retracted his hand, and his other hand went straight for Lu Bu's waist. With a cold smile, he grabbed Zhang Ji's hand without turning back. His speed was so fast that Zhang Ji was shocked and quickly retreated. Lu Bu was not willing to let him go. He suddenly took a step forward and attacked with both hands, leaving Zhang Ji with only the strength to retaliate. The two sides were in a stalemate for 30 rounds, and from time to time, the civil and military officials would cheer. Lu Bu did not want to hurt Zhang Ji, so he planned to exhaust Zhang Ji's stamina. Gradually, Zhang Ji was unable to do anything. After all, even a valiant general like Zhang Fei would have long collapsed if he fought with an opponent like Lu Bu.
Finally, when Zhang Ji had just used up all of his strength, Lu Bu reached out and grabbed Zhang Ji's wrist. Zhang Ji was shocked and quickly used his other hand to attack Hungry's chest. Hungry then used his remaining hand to grab Zhang Ji's wrist, and with a slight force, he crossed Zhang Ji's hands and tied them behind Zhang Ji's back. Then, he kicked Zhang Ji's leg lightly and pressed Zhang Ji to the ground. At this moment, cheers erupted in the hall. Lu Bu said to Zhang Ji, who was being suppressed by him,""General Zhang Ji, thank you for letting me win." After saying that, he gently let go of Zhang Ji's hand that was tied up by him. Zhang Ji's face did not have the humiliation of failure. Instead, he revealed an expression that should have been the case.
He Qi's face turned pale as he thought to himself,"I didn't expect that even my most powerful general couldn't last more than 40 rounds against that kid. If we continue fighting, we'll only be inviting humiliation.”He opened his mouth and scolded Zhang Ji,"Useless."”
Emperor Han Ling clapped his hands and laughed. After a long time, he said,""It is a blessing for the country that Lu Bu has such a talent. Lu Bu, come forward and listen to the seal."
Lu Bu was delighted and stepped forward,""Your subject is here."
"I now confer upon you the title of Governor of Zhuo County, General of the Border, and Lord of the Pass."”
"Thank you for your grace, Your Majesty."”
Emperor Han Ling nodded and said,"If there's nothing else, then withdraw from the court."”The Ten Attendants immediately shouted,"Retreat!" Lu Bu and the other ministers knelt down and said,"Long live my emperor." After the Han Ling Emperor had left for a while, the officials walked out of the palace. As soon as they left, many of them congratulated Lu Bu and flattered him. Lu Bu had no choice. He couldn't say that he had offended everyone as soon as he became an official. He could only flatter them one by one. Dong Cheng was worried that Lu Bu had lost an arm or a leg when he married his daughter, so he said without hesitation,""Fellow colleagues, please listen to me first. Lord Lu will be marrying my daughter in two days. I hope that all of you will be able to attend.”
When everyone heard the news, they immediately expressed their willingness to attend the event and congratulated Dong Cheng on finding a son-in-law. Lu Bu had now become a new noble in the court, and everyone wanted to curry favor with him. However, Lu Bu knew that it was useless. After all, this was not a peaceful time. If it was a peaceful time, Lu Bu would enjoy the life of being surrounded by stars. However, Lu Bu kept reminding himself not to repeat the same mistakes for the sake of temporary enjoyment.
Lu Bu quietly distanced himself from the crowd and quickly left the palace. As for Dong Cheng's safety, it was not within Lu Bu's consideration. Arriving at a restaurant, just as he was about to ask the waiter to bring him to a private room, he saw Zhang Ji sitting alone in a corner of the first floor in casual clothes, drinking alone."This is a heaven-sent opportunity."
He chuckled and walked to Zhang Ji's table.""General Zhang Ji, are you willing to let Bu take the seat?”Zhang Ji was stunned. He looked up and saw Lu Bu. He stood up and said in surprise,""Lord Lu?"
"You're not welcome?" Lu Bu chuckled.”"Welcome, Lord Lu, please take a seat."”
Lu Bu nodded and smiled." There's no need to be so formal. That would not be nice. Besides, I'm a guest. How can I steal the host's attention?"”"Then Lord Lu, please forgive me for overdoing it." Zhang Ji laughed.”
Lu Bu chuckled." That should be the case. Why don't we go to the private room?" How about I invite General Zhang Ji to apologize for what I have done today?”Zhang Ji hesitated for a moment before saying,"Lord Lu's martial arts are much better than mine. I'm already very grateful that you didn't embarrass me on the spot." How can we make Lord Lu apologize?"
Lu Bu said happily,"Then let's just treat it as us getting to know each other through a fight. How about we get drunk today?"”Zhang Ji did not decline this time. Instead, he smiled and said,"That's exactly what I want." After saying that, the two of them looked at each other and smiled as they walked towards the private room together.
