Xiao Pei.
Lu Bu was a little confused.
Because…
He had just received an imperial edict appointing Lu Bu as the governor of Xu Prefecture!
"Gongtai, am I seeing things?"
"His Majesty has appointed me as the governor of Xu Prefecture!"
"Your Majesty still cares about my kindness for killing Dong Zhuo and saving Your Majesty!”
Lu Bu was ecstatic!
Chen Gong sighed." My lord, you are now the father-in-law of Envoy Xu. Are you sure you want to accept the edict?"”
Lu Bu suddenly came to a realization.
He had been ecstatic because he had been appointed as the governor of Xu Prefecture. For a moment, he had actually forgotten that Xu Xiao was the governor of Xu Prefecture.
However…
Lu Bu was unwilling to accept this!
Lu Bu was famous for forsaking righteousness for profit and would not stay below others for long.
It was not because Xu Xiao was now his son-in-law that he would be loyal to Xu Xiao!
Previously.
It was because there was no imperial edict.
Lu Bu accepted Chen Gong's suggestion and married his daughter to Xu Xiao. This way, he would not have to worry about trust issues.
But now.
With the imperial edict, Lu Bu's thoughts were revived!
"Gongtai, His Majesty appointed me as the governor of Xu Prefecture. Xu Xiao is my son-in-law, so I naturally won't mistreat him!”
"After all, I don't have a son. I only have one daughter, Lingqi. Isn't Xu Xiao the one who owns Xuzhou?”
"Moreover, His Majesty's imperial edict also said that Xu Xiao will be promoted to Grand Commandant. At that time, I will be in Xu Prefecture, and Xu Xiao will be in court.”
Lu Bu missed the governor of Xuzhou.
It was too boring in Xiao Pei.
Wei Xu had already complained to Lu Bu that the laws of Xu were too strict!
He had taken a fancy to a woman, yet he still needed the other party's consent to take a concubine. Otherwise, it would be daylight robbery!
What made Wei Xu even more unhappy was that…
Other than the ignorant children, almost everyone in Xiao Pei understood the situation of robbing someone and injuring their life.
The other party even warned Wei Xu.
Back then, Liu Bei had been chased out of Xiao Pei because he had robbed someone and injured his life. That Zhang Fei had even been publicly interrogated and beheaded!
Lu Bu was often complained by Wei Xu, and the dissatisfaction in his heart gradually grew.
It was just that he was living under someone else's roof and did not have the support of the officials and people of Xuzhou, so it was not good to show it.
But now it was different!
Lu Bu had an imperial edict!
Liu Xie had personally issued an imperial edict!
Lu Bu was granted the title of governor of Xuzhou.
This imperial edict made Lu Bu's heart skip a beat!
Fortunately, Lu Bu only wanted to be the governor of Xu Prefecture and did not want to kill Xu Xiao.
After all, he was her son-in-law.
If Lu Bu could not give birth to a son, he would still have to let his son-in-law inherit the family business.
This was what Lu Bu thought.
What a naive idea!
"My lord, do you really think that this is His Majesty's decree?" Chen Gong sighed.”
Lu Bu asked curiously,"This is an imperial edict. Why isn't it His Majesty's edict?"”
Chen Gong felt a little helpless.
Chen Gong felt like he was playing the lute to a cow when he saw his lord acting like an idiot!
"My lord! His Majesty is still young, and Cao Cao's ambition is no less than Dong Zhuo's. Do you think this is really His Majesty's intention?”
"This is Cao Cao's plan to enfeoffe the world.”
"Today, I can let you be the governor of Xu Prefecture. Tomorrow, I, Chen Gong, can be the governor of Xu Prefecture. Even Gao Shun and Wei Xu can be the governor of Xu Prefecture!。”
"If my lord obeys this order, he will definitely be suppressed by Cao Cao in the future!”
"At that time, Cao Cao will order you to be the Great Sima and hand over all your troops to the new governor of Xu Prefecture.”
"If you go to Xudu, my lord will have no soldiers or generals by his side, and Xudu is Cao Cao's people.”
"At that time, we only need a cup of poisonous wine to capture and kill the lord!”
Chen Gong's words were sinister and ruthless.
Lu Bu couldn't help but shiver.
Lu Bu had been too happy to think about the dangers involved!
"That Cao thief has such evil intentions.”
Lu Bu couldn't help but curse at Cao Cao, but his gaze towards the imperial edict was still hesitant.
"Gongtai, but if I don't obey your orders, won't Your Majesty think that I, Lu Bu, am a traitor?”
"Why not put it aside for now and wait for Xu Xiao to return before discussing?”
"After all, Xu Xiao is the governor of Xu Prefecture. I can't make the decision alone!”
"That's all for now. I still have something to do.”
Lu Bu found an excuse to stall Chen Gong and then secretly asked Wei Xu to come over.
As opposed to Chen Gong.
Lu Bu trusted Wei Xu more.
Moreover, Wei Xu understood Lu Bu's thoughts better!
Chen Gong sighed helplessly.
Lu Bu's actions clearly showed that he had not forgotten the Xu Prefecture Governor!
"Cao Cao has predicted my lord's character and will definitely have disloyalty.”
"If my lord is really greedy for the governor of Xu Prefecture and has a conflict with Envoy Xu, Xu Prefecture will definitely fall into Cao Cao's trap!”
"Xu Xiao is not Tao Qian. If the lord has any disloyalty, he will definitely be mercilessly killed by Xu Shijun!”
"At that time, Cao Cao will not waste a single soldier and will cause chaos in Xu Prefecture. He will use Envoy Xu to kill the lord.”
"Xu Shijun might bear the infamy of killing his father-in-law and concubine.”
"No! I will never allow this to happen!”
Chen Gong immediately gave a letter of divorce to his trusted aide.
"Go to Peng City immediately and pass the letter to Madam Ling Qi. If she wants to save her father's life, she must do as I say in the letter!”
