"Recently, for some reason, there are always officials coming to the Chamber of Commerce to investigate.
Yi spent a lot of money to know that the people who came were all old officials of the Yuan family.
If the manor outside the city was involved, the damage would be severe.”
"Yuan Clan…"
Ever since Lu Bu had slapped Yuan Shu in the face, there had been many officials in the Imperial Court who had been impeaching him.
Lu Bu relied on Liu Hong's fondness for him and was safe for a while.
He didn't expect the Yuan family to be so capable as to find out the connection between the Zhen family's Chamber of Commerce and him.
Lu Bu thought for a moment and said to Zhen Yi,"
"Godfather, don't worry. I'll handle this matter.”
That afternoon, Lu Bu brought a chest of gold and a carriage of the best Heaven Grade Immortal Brew to Zhang Rang's residence.
It was the first bonus for Zhang Rang.
The Zhen Family Chamber of Commerce produced three grades of white spirits: Heaven, Earth, and Human.
Heaven grade wine is also known as immortal wine. This wine can only be obtained by the will of the heavens. It costs ten gold per bottle.
Even though it was so expensive, it still attracted the attention of the high-ranking officials and nobles in Luoyang.
Zhang Rang accepted the money and found Lu Bu more pleasing to the eye.
He said to Lu Bu in a shrill voice,"
"Guan Junhou is really thoughtful. He actually came personally to give us money.
In the future, he would let his subordinates do this kind of work.”
Lu Bu replied,"
"Other than giving Mr. Zhang dividends, Bu also has some small problems that she wants to ask Mr. Zhang for help.”
Zhang Rang was in a good mood and smiled at Lu Bu,"
"If you have something to say, just say it. I've helped you solve it.”
"Duke Zhang knows about the Yuan family's impeachment of Bu in court.
Now that they were investigating the Chamber of Commerce, Bu was really annoyed.”
Zhang Rang played with a jade scepter and said softly,
"I've also heard about the grudge between you and the Yuan family.
I heard that you were the one who made the first move and slapped the face of Yuan Shu, the son of the Yuan family.
We're just allies. Why should I bear this kind of personal grudge for you?”
Lu Bu looked at Zhang Rang's pretentious appearance and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
This Young Master originally wanted to get along with you as an equal, but in exchange, you, this old fellow, did not do your best.
Since that's the case, don't blame me for scamming you!
Without hesitation, Lu Bu bowed to Zhang Rang and said,
"In this world, the only person who can contend with the Yuan Clan and Great General is Duke Zhang.
Bu had admired Zhang Gong for a long time, and his admiration for Zhang Gong was like a torrential river!
If you don't abandon me, I'm willing to worship you as my foster father!”
Zhang Rang was shocked.
He couldn't believe that this famous Marquis Champion was willing to take a eunuch like him as his foster father.
"Marquis Champion, are you really willing to acknowledge me as your foster father?”
Zhang Rang's greatest advantage was the Emperor's favor and trust. He could control the Emperor's will and rule the court with one hand.
His biggest weakness was that he did not have the support of a powerful general.
The emperor's support was like a castle in the air. Once the new emperor ascended the throne, Zhang Rang would very likely lose his power in an instant.
It would be different if he had an adopted son like Lu Bu.
He could support Lu Bu to become the leader of the generals and take charge of the army.
At that time, no matter which emperor ascended the throne, the world would still be in Zhang Rang's hands!
Lu Bu looked at Zhang Rang sincerely and said,"
"Even the emperor regards Zhang Gong as his father. It is Bu's honor to be able to acknowledge Zhang Gong as my foster father!”
Seeing that Lu Bu was not lying, Zhang Rang was overjoyed. He helped Lu Bu up and said,
"Since the Marquis Champion is so sincere, I will accept you!
From today onwards, you are our godson!”
"Thank you, Father!"
This call of 'foster father' made Zhang Rang's heart blossom with joy, and the wrinkles on his face even opened up from laughing.
With Lu Bu as his adopted son, Zhang Rang would be in charge of the court, and Lu Bu would be in charge of the army. The entire world would be surnamed Zhang!
Lu Bu acknowledged Zhang Rang as his foster father, and the system notification sounded:
"Ding! Congratulations to the host for successfully worshipping foster father Zhang Rang!
[The host has paid homage to his Epic godfather, Zhang Rang. You have received 5 political points.]
You have obtained the Jinyiwei expert X1000 and the Jinyiwei commander Shen Lian!
(Note: The loyalty of the troops and characters rewarded by the system to the host is always locked at 100.)）
Host's foster father Zhang Rang's luck value has decreased by 10 points. Host's luck value has increased by 10 points.”
"After the attribute value increases, the host's attribute skills are as follows:
[Strength: 94][Commander: 67][Intelligence: 23. Luck: 82
Appearance: 99
[Skills: Blackwind Halberd Technique (Superb), Unparalleled Ghost and Demon Halberd Technique (Superb)]
Horsemanship Specialization, Golden Spear Unfalling, Wealth Luck God.
The training method of the strongest cavalry, the Wind Chasing Dragon Cavalry.
Master level calligraphy, master level zither skills, master level literature.”
After receiving the system's reward, Lu Bu was ecstatic!
He hadn't expected that the reward for taking Zhang Rang as his godfather would be 1000 Embroidered Uniform Guards.
In fact, Lu Bu had refused to acknowledge Zhang Rang as his foster father.
After all, a man should have a backbone. How could he acknowledge an old eunuch as his father?
But now that he had received the reward, Lu Bu only wanted to say two words: How fragrant!
With one thousand more Jinyiwei, Lu Bu did not have to spend time and effort to establish an intelligence system.
After being acknowledged by Lu Bu as his godfather, Zhang Rang's luck value had decreased by another 10 points, leaving him with a pitiful 4 points.
He was not even half as powerful as an ordinary person.
However, Lu Bu did not mind. He and Zhang Rang were just using each other.
Suppressing his excitement, Lu Bu continued to ask Zhang Rang,"
"Godfather, about the Yuan family…"
Zhang Rang snorted coldly and said,
"Who does the Yuan family think they are?
Since you're my adopted son, you can do whatever you want in the capital!
If the Yuan Family still dares to attack you…
I'll let them open their eyes and take a good look at who has the final say in this world!”
"Thank you for your protection, foster father!"
Zhang Rang's face was filled with pride.
The Emperor called him father, and the Marquis Champion called him godfather. He, Zhang Rang, was the brawny man's most awesome father!
Zhang Rang was shocked when he thought of the Emperor calling him father.
The Emperor treated him as his father, so how could he accept someone else as his foster son?
If outsiders knew about this, he, Zhang Rang, would be finished!
Zhang Rang quickly reminded Lu Bu,"
"Fengxian, in the future, when there are outsiders around, you must not call me godfather!
We can't tell anyone that we've adopted you as our godson.
Otherwise, we will lose our heads, understand?”
"Father, don't worry. I will keep this a secret.”
Lu Bu thought to himself that it was good not to tell anyone about this matter.
Otherwise, I really can't explain to my other foster fathers that I've taken an old eunuch like you as my foster father.
Sometimes, having too many fathers was also a kind of trouble.
After obtaining what he wanted, Lu Bu left Zhang Rang's mansion in satisfaction.
As soon as he returned to the Marquis of Champions 'Residence, a young man in gray clothes with an embroidered spring saber hanging from his waist came forward.
"Shen Lian greets the lord!"
Lu Bu checked Shen Lian's attributes and found that his martial strength was as high as 80 points and his command value was over 70 points.
He could be considered a pretty good talent.
Lu Bu couldn't help but ask,"
"Why aren't you wearing the Flying Fish Outfit?"
"The Flying Fish Garment is too eye-catching. This subordinate has already asked our brothers to change into grey clothes.”
"That's right, follow me into the mansion."
