It had to be said that Liu Yu was one of the few honest people in the Three Kingdoms.
He kept his word and gave all his treasures to Qin Ao.
To a general, everything here was a priceless treasure.
Now, these treasures were all given to Qin Ao.
"Thank you, Provincial Governor!"
Qin Ao didn't have any intention of refusing. He stood up and cupped his fists.
This could be considered as expressing his attitude.
Seeing Qin Ao like this, Liu Yu was even more satisfied.
He ruled Youzhou, but only Gongsun Zan refused to listen to his orders. Instead, he went against him everywhere. He had never been able to do anything to Gongsun Zan.
Fortunately, Qin Ao had appeared.
In his opinion, Qin Ao was not only stronger than Gongsun Zan, but he also knew how to behave better than Gongsun Zan.
If he roped in Qin Ao, he could also suppress Gongsun Zan at the right time.
Furthermore, he would definitely keep his word and convince the others.
In this chaotic world, reputation was very important.
Qin Ao asked his subordinates to carry the gifts down and continued to eat and drink. The entire atmosphere was extremely harmonious.
However, while Qin Ao was receiving compliments from the crowd, Liu Bei and Gongsun Zan began to chat.
The two of them were originally under Lu Zhi's tutelage and could be considered fellow disciples.
In the past, Gongsun Zan felt that Liu Bei was extraordinary and had a good relationship with him.
Now that he found out that Liu Bei and his brothers were actually the three Innate Experts under Qin Ao, he had some thoughts in his mind, and his fear of Qin Ao was greatly reduced.
If he could rope in these three Inborn experts, Qin Ao's strength would definitely decrease, and his power would rise. At that time, he might have a chance to compete with Qin Ao.
How could Liu Bei not know what Gongsun Zan was thinking? However, his words only left Gongsun Zan a little hope, but he did not completely reject it.
He was not really loyal to Qin Ao. When he felt the domineering aura from Qin Ao, he was also worried that his second and third brothers would follow Qin Ao in the future.
Now that Gongsun Zan had a favor to ask of him, his status would definitely rise as well. This was why he had begun to take things into his own hands. It could also be considered as preparation for the future.
Furthermore, he knew that Gongsun Zan and Qin Ao were competitors.
He also wanted to provoke Gongsun Zan.
Liu Bei had a premonition that Qin Ao might be his opponent in the future, so he would give Qin Ao some trouble if he could.
Qin Ao had also noticed the conversation between Liu Bei and Gongsun Zan, but he did not say anything. There was only a hint of mockery in his eyes.
It was no wonder that Liu Bei had been defeated repeatedly before he met his advisor.
This situation was too small!

bingzhou
Jinyang City Lord's Mansion
He saw a burly figure wearing armor kneeling in front of the City Lord's Mansion.
"Godfather! Your son pleads with Godfather to send your son to battle. Your son only needs 5000 wolf cavalry from Bingzhou to defeat the Yellow Turban Army. I will take Zhang Jiao and Zhang Bao's heads and offer them to Godfather!”
Lu Bu's expression was firm as he shouted.
His eyes were filled with unwillingness.
He had ambitions, but he had no way to fulfill them.
Earlier, he had seen Qin Ao repeatedly in the limelight and was praised wantonly. He was already extremely jealous in his heart.
However, he had asked Ding Yuan to fight several times, but the latter refused.
Now, he heard that Qin Ao had killed Zhang Liang and defeated the Yellow Turban Army with the imperial court's army.
He could not sit still anymore.
The title of Army Destroyer might not be the number one in the world.
But what should the imperial court reward for killing Zhang Liang?
He could hear people talking about Qin Ao everywhere in Bing Province. Some even thought that Qin Ao was the number one general in the world.
One had to know that this was Bingzhou!
Lu Bu's reputation in Bing Province was actually suppressed by others?
He finally couldn't accept it!
"How dare you! In Bingzhou, there are not only foreign tribes but also Yellow Turban bandits. If you leave with your army, what will happen to the safety of Bingzhou? It's not that I don't want you to crusade against the Yellow Turban Army. You only need to obey orders and protect the peace of Bingzhou!”
In the City Lord's Mansion, a dignified voice sounded.
"Godfather, Bing Province has a strong army, Zhang Liao, Gao Shun, and other first-class generals. As long as we have two generals, Bing Province will be like an iron wall!”
This time, Lu Bu didn't give in easily. Instead, he gritted his teeth and shouted.
"Presumptuous! Are you teaching me how to do things?"
"I don't dare! Since Godfather is worried about the safety of Bing Province, then I only need 3000 Bing Province Wolf Cavalry. Godfather, please fulfill my wish!”
"Don't mention this matter again. Leave quickly!”
"If Godfather doesn't agree, Lu Bu will kneel here until Godfather agrees!”
Lu Bu's eyes were filled with determination. Even though he was kneeling, his posture still stood tall.
This time, he had to fight for himself.
"How dare you! Are you threatening me?”
"I don't dare! Please grant my wish, foster father!"
Lu Bu bowed, his voice shaking the clouds.
The sky seemed to have sensed his determination. In an instant, dark clouds gathered and a storm swept across.
The city was silent for a moment.
Immediately after, a dignified voice sounded again."Retreat!"
"Father, please grant my wish!"
The rain became even more intense, and the icy cold rain hit Lu Bu's armor. The latter remained in his kneeling position, and his voice became even more resolute.
"How dare you!"
The voice inside was clearly angry, and it became cold."Men, throw Lu Bu into the prison to reflect on himself! Without my orders, he is not allowed to leave the den of sin!”
In front of the City Lord's Mansion, the armored guards walked up to Lu Bu indifferently.
"Lord registrar, sorry for offending you!"
The two of them supported Lu Bu on his left and right, trying to pull him up.
They were Ding Yuan's generals and only listened to Ding Yuan's orders.
"Hahahahaha!"
Lu Bu's entire body was covered in black energy, and a wave of power pushed the two of them away.
He slowly stood up and let out a long howl towards the sky. His heroic and desolate voice resounded between heaven and earth.
His face gradually became a little crazy.
The laughter lasted for a long time before it faded away. Lu Bu did not say a word, but continued to walk towards the Sin Cave.
In the sky, thunder flashed. The tearing lightning shone on Lu Bu's figure, and it was as if he could see a ferocious beast howling in grief.
The beast was trapped in the cage. It had strength, but it was helpless.
Laughing at Lu Bu, who had made countless contributions.
Now, he actually wanted to go to the place where the sinners were imprisoned. This was simply a huge joke.
In the City Lord's Mansion.
"Sir, don't you think I'm going too far?”
When Ding Yuan heard this laughter, he had a complicated expression on his face.
"My Lord, don't be soft-hearted at this time! Even though Lu Bu was the registrar, he was already in control of the Bingzhou Legion. He had roped in his own people to become generals, and he was unrestrained and did whatever he wanted. Bingzhou was said to belong to the lord, but in reality, it belonged to Lu Bu.”
"This person also has great ambitions. If we let him crusade against the Yellow Turban bandits, when the imperial court rewards him, he will be like a hidden dragon coming out of the abyss. No one will be able to suppress this bastard anymore. At that time, he will definitely turn against the lord!”
"For the lord's safety, for the safety of Bingzhou, we must suppress Lu Bu at all times. We must not let him have a chance to turn the tables!”
The strategist said sincerely.
Hearing this, Ding Yuan's expression became resolute.
In truth, no matter what Lu Bu did, he could not make Ding Yuan feel at ease, nor could he gain his trust.
Because Lu Bu's existence was a threat to Ding Yuan!
