Chapter 219: Beat the drum and scold Lu! (Thanks to Zhang Fei, the brother who eats pudding, for his many monthly ticket support~)

Hearing the words "blood flowing like a river", Lu Bu suddenly became serious:
"Are you going to use force directly against those disobedient noble families?"

Lu Su nodded decisively:
"The lord's previous conciliatory policy can certainly maintain harmony on the surface, but it cannot truly intimidate these aristocratic families.

“When the three-point plan I proposed is promoted, there will definitely be aristocratic families who will jump out to oppose it.

"Then the lord can find a troublemaker and kill him as an example to scare the monkeys!
"From now on, no noble family will dare to easily jump out and oppose the Lord's decision."

Lu Bu's face was expressionless, and he subconsciously clenched his fists:

"Then let's see which family will become the 'lucky one'..."

Lu Su looked at the murderous intent that flashed across Lu Bu's eyes, and his heart trembled slightly:
"As for other plans, once the previous plan takes effect, I will inform you based on the specific circumstances."

Hearing what Lu Su said, Lu Bu smiled again:
"With Zijing's help, I feel like the clouds have been cleared and I know exactly what I should do next!"

Lu Su shook his head modestly:

“If the Lord did not share the same philosophy as me and valued me so much, I would not have the opportunity to express my opinions in public.

"Only a grassroots person like you would think about things from the perspective of ordinary people like me."

Lu Bu smiled and then looked at Zhou Yu beside him:

"Speaking of which, just now at the meeting, I saw Gongjin seemed to have something to say.

"There are no outsiders around now. Do you want to talk to me?"

Lu Bu seemed to be asking Zhou Yu, but actually he was looking at Lu Su.

Because Zhou Yu didn't say much because he saw Lu Su shaking his head.

Zhou Yu also looked at his close friend at this moment.

Seeing that the other party lowered her head and did not speak, he took it as tacit consent, so he told Lu Bu about the encounter with the little girl in the city before.

After hearing the whole story, Lu Bu nodded suddenly:

“So that’s how it is… The girl’s mother has always remembered Zijing’s life-saving grace. She is a good woman who knows how to repay a favor.

“Such people deserve our special care. Gongjin can go in person to help this little girl and her family.

"Also, observe the moral character of her grandparents. If that doesn't work, take the little girl in and take care of her alone."

Hearing what Lu Bu said, Lu Su was surprised, but he also subconsciously dissuaded him:
"My Lord...Is it inappropriate to rashly interfere in other people's lives?"

Lu Bu understood Lu Su's concerns and smiled and shook his head:

"There's nothing wrong with that. There are certainly many such poor people in the world, but if we don't encounter them, we naturally don't need to care about it.

“But since we’ve met, it must be fate!
"If we can grasp this chance, maybe it will give birth to more beautiful things in the future!"

Hearing Lu Bu's shocking words, Lu Su opened his mouth.

After a moment, he bowed deeply to Lu Bu with gratitude.

Just when Lu Bu was about to say something, Hao Meng suddenly came to report:
"My lord, there is a man outside the city beating a drum and scolding you!"

"what?"

Lu Bu raised his eyebrows, wondering who dared to beat the drum and scold him in public?
But soon, Lu Bu calmed down.

Beating drums and cursing...why does it give me such a strong sense of déjà vu?

Could it be him?
Thinking of the other party's name, Lu Bu immediately went to the top of the city wall under the leadership of Hao Meng.

All I could hear was the rumbling sound of drums coming from outside the city, accompanied by sonorous and clear curses:

"Three families' surnamed slaves! You are a rude person from the north who herds cattle and sheep. What qualifications do you have to interfere in the water town of Jiangnan?

"You have no sense of shame, calling yourself the Demon Lord of Martial Slaughter, but in reality you are just a 19-foot-tall stupid ape!

"You still have the nerve to call yourself a banished immortal of literary talent. How can a pig like you understand the beauty of words?" Listening to such sharp curses and powerful drum beats.

The generals beside Lu Bu all had murderous intent on their faces, and they couldn't wait to kill the other party.

Cheng Lian, whose left calf was broken by a poisonous snake bite, held on to the city wall and said angrily to Lu Bu:

"My lord, such a lunatic humiliated you in public. You must tear him into pieces!"

Lu Bu asked Cheng Lian to be patient.

In my previous life, I was a person who surfed forums like Longkong, Xiaohongshu, Tieba, etc. 24 hours a day.

I have long been immune to other people's abuse.

He looked directly at the man outside the moat who was insulting him.

I saw that the other person was wearing purple Confucian clothing, with his chest and muscles exposed, and a single ponytail standing high.

Although he has a handsome face, he looks very arrogant!
Lu Bu couldn't help but become interested in this guy, so he asked loudly on the tower:
"Who are you? Why are you insulting me for no reason?"

Hearing this, the hammer in the young man's hand suddenly stopped.

He looked up at Lu Bu, stood with his hands behind his back, and smiled coldly:
"You are a man from the northern frontier, and you don't even recognize your grandfather Ni Heng?"

Hao Meng, who was beside Lu Bu, couldn't bear it any longer and was about to go downstairs to kill the other party, but Lu Bu stared at him and stopped him in his tracks:

"You don't even have this kind of temper. When you defend the city in the future, will you just go out of the city and fight to the death if someone insults you?"

When facing Lu Bu, Hao Meng had no temper at all and could only lower his head in grievance.

Lu Bu clasped his fists towards Ni Heng:

"So you are Ni Heng and Ni Zheng Ping!

"I have long admired your talent, and have heard that your words are as sharp as a spear and as sharp as a sword. After meeting you today, I find that your reputation is indeed well-deserved!"

Seeing that Lu Bu actually knew him and was not angry as he had imagined, a hint of surprise flashed in Ni Heng's eyes.

However, he had seen many people pretending not to be angry, so he immediately responded sarcastically:
"I am not happy at all to be admired by a fool like you!"

This is another sentence that can make other people angry to death.

Even Lu Su, who had just joined, couldn't help but frown.

But to everyone's surprise, Lu Bu laughed calmly:
"I like your sharp words, sir!
"I wonder if you, sir, would be so kind as to allow me to welcome you?"

Ni Heng was silent for a moment, but accepted it calmly:
"You should have done this long ago!"

The generals beside Lu Bu clenched their fists so hard that they made a crackling sound.

However, Lu Bu shook his head slightly at everyone, and instead asked Deng Zhi, the assistant historian, to prepare the banquet.

He knew very well that although Ni Heng was crazy, he did have considerable talent.

His representative work, "Ode to the Parrot", has profound meaning, vivid description and deep emotion.

It combines description of objects, expression of emotions and criticism of the world into one, and is an outstanding work of lyrical short fu from the late Han Dynasty.

He, together with the rhetorician Zhao Yi and others, pioneered the Han and Wei literature's emphasis on character!
If he had not been killed by Huang Zu at the age of 26, he would have left a significant mark in the history of literature in the late Han Dynasty!
In Lu Bu's view, Ni Heng was like a wild horse that had broken free from its reins.

If he can be subdued, it will surely be of great use to him in the next action against the aristocratic families!

Lu Bu immediately opened the city gate, came before Ni Heng in person, and looked down at this crazy talent.

Although Ni Heng was not as tall as Lu Bu, he exuded an aura that was no weaker than Lu Bu.

He looked straight into Lu Bu's eagle eyes, without giving in at all!
Lu Bu was secretly shocked.

This kind of arrogance is no longer due to his personality, it is clearly as if he is seeking death!
