Luoyang City, Luoyang Imperial Palace.
Yongle Palace.
Outside the hall, a seven-foot-tall man wearing a three-pronged purple-gold crown and a red cotton robe hung on his body.
He was wearing a beast-faced, head-swallowing chain armor, and a lion belt around his waist. A young general wielding a halberd!
This person was the well-dressed Lu Bu, Lu Fengxian, known as the number one general of the three kingdoms!
Lu Bu pushed open the closed doors without any hesitation and stepped into the Yongle Palace.
Inside the Yongle Palace, Dong Zhuo was sitting on the dragon bed. He was wearing a dragon robe and was chatting with Li Ru.
Suddenly, the sound of steady footsteps was heard. Then, the closed door of the Yongle Palace was pushed open.
A ray of sunlight shone through the slowly opened door and entered the hall.
Under the illumination of the sun, Lu Bu, who was wearing a pale golden armor, stepped through the door!
At that moment, under the sunlight, Lu Bu looked like a god of war, mighty and extraordinary.
At the same time, Dong Zhuo's gaze landed on Lu Bu, and a hint of fear appeared on his face.
However, when he saw Li Ru's gaze, he retracted his gaze.
Lu Bu, who had just stepped through the palace door, arrived in front of Dong Zhuo without any hesitation and bowed slightly to Dong Zhuo and Li Ru.
"Greetings, foster father."
"Greetings, Lord Li Ru."
Although he was bowing, Lu Bu didn't show any respect. Instead, he casually bowed.
Lu Bu sat down on a chair and looked at Dong Zhuo and Li Ru without any respect.
Anger flashed across Dong Zhuo's eyes when he saw this. Just as he was about to get angry, Li Ru spoke first.
"I've long heard that Lord Wen Hou's martial arts are peerless in the world and that he is also the godson of the Prime Minister.”
"Right now, the Prime Minister has some important matters that he needs Lord Wen Hou to handle.”
"I wonder if Lord Wen Hou is willing to go?”
As Li Ru's respectful words fell, Lu Bu revealed an expression of enjoyment.
Then, he looked at Li Ru and said,"Lord Li Ru, what do you need me to do first?"”
"Just say it."
As Lu Bu spoke, he didn't notice the cold glint in Dong Zhuo's eyes.
"Recently, Yuan Shao, Cao Cao, and other rebels have gathered together to fight against Wild Jujube.”
"We want to crusade against the Prime Minister. Originally, the Prime Minister did not want to lower himself to the level of these rebels.”
"However, this group of rebels actually plotted to kill the general that the Prime Minister sent to Tiger Cage Pass, Hua Xiong.”
As Li Ru said this, he felt a shocking battle intent erupt from Lu Bu's body.
"Hwa Xiong is dead?"
As the number one valiant general of Western Liang, Hua Xiong had naturally fought against Lu Bu before.
However, he was also a top-notch fierce general, yet he had heard Li Ru say that he had actually died at the hands of Cao Cao and the other dukes.
How could Lu Bu not be shocked? One had to know that Lu Bu's current martial arts could be said to be at the peak.
If he wanted to advance further, he would need to fight with stronger experts to break through his limits.
Now that he had heard that there was a very high possibility that there was an expert in the alliance, how could Lu Bu not be excited?
"Lord Li Ru, I understand.”
"Fengxian will gather the troops and destroy those rebels for Godfather.”
Lu Bu couldn't suppress the fighting spirit in his heart and immediately spoke.
"Lord Wen Hou is in a hurry. That traitor has hundreds of thousands of soldiers.”
After Li Ru finished speaking, he looked at Dong Zhuo and gave him a look.
"My son, I am very pleased that you are so filial to me.”
Although Dong Zhuo was afraid of Lu Bu, he didn't show it on his face.
"Godfather, it is my honor to be able to work for you.”
Lu Bu's eyes flashed with a fierce light, but he still spoke respectfully on the surface.
Naturally, Lu Bu knew about Dong Zhuo's suppression of him.
After all, ever since he had joined Dong Zhuo, the 50,000 Bing Province cavalry had been taken away by Dong Zhuo.
After that, he was left idle at home for a long time.
Now that he finally had a chance to gain military power again, Lu Bu naturally wouldn't give up.
However, he understood that he couldn't fight Dong Zhuo head-on. He still needed to turn things around with him, at least before he obtained military power.
He had to obediently be Dong Zhuo's foster son.
Dong Zhuo didn't notice the fierce look in Lu Bu's eyes. Seeing Lu Bu's respectful attitude, he smiled.
"My son, there are rebels outside Tiger Cage Pass now, so it's not convenient for father to keep you.”
"This is the military power of the fifty thousand Bing Province cavalry.”
"In addition, I've arranged for Li Jue to be your deputy general. He's also to lead my three thousand Flying Bear Army to Tiger Cage Pass.”
As Dong Zhuo spoke, he took out an incomplete Tiger Tally and handed it to Lu Bu.
Seeing this, Lu Bu's eyes flashed with excitement.
Immediately after, the excitement disappeared in an instant. He respectfully took the Tiger Tally from Dong Zhuo's hand and bowed to him.
"Godfather, your son will go and gather the troops to destroy those rebels for Godfather.”
After Lu Bu finished speaking, he put the Tiger Tally into his sleeve and strode out of the Yongle Palace.
He left behind a burly figure for Dong Zhuo and Li Ru.
After Lu Bu left, Li Ru suddenly had a bad feeling.
However, he could not tell why.
……
Luoyang City, Marquis Wen's residence.
Lu Bu toyed with the tiger talismans of the 50,000 Bing Province cavalry, his eyes gleaming.
In front of Lu Bu, a white-robed general in his early twenties said respectfully.
"My lord, the 50,000 Bingzhou cavalry have gathered.”
"Furthermore, Li Jue has already brought three thousand Flying Bear Soldiers into the army.”
"Yes."
"Looks like that old thing Dong Zhuo is still worried about me."
"He even sent Li Jue and his 3,000-strong Flying Bear Army to spy on me.”
"However, does he think that Li Jue can control me?”
Lu Bu's eyes flashed with a cold light.
Lu Bu wasn't a fool. How could he not see through such a straightforward surveillance?
However, now wasn't the time to fall out with Dong Zhuo.
As long as the 50,000 Bing Province Cavalry had military power, as long as Lu Bu didn't seek death, even Dong Zhuo wouldn't dare to do anything to him.
Lu Bu, who had already lost his military power once, would never give up on it.
With a weapon in hand, the world was mine.
