My younger brother Lü Fengxian
Chapter 61: Pure and Strong Man
Chapter 61: Pure and Strong Man
In addition to generals such as Gao Shun, Cheng Lian, and Hou Cheng, the average bounty for each of the more than fifty men was around 6000 coins.
The total amount of money given to the 50 people was less than coins. Even if the bounty for generals such as Gao Shun was included, it was less than coins.
For Lu Yi, this money is just 20 war horses, which is totally worthless to him now.
But for these guys who usually only earn two or three hundred yuan a month, it is undoubtedly their only hope in life.
With this money, they can significantly improve their living conditions, fill their home food jars, and sustain their families' lives.
And the power of these role models is infinite.
This can be well illustrated by the envious expressions of the villagers who gathered near Lu Yi's house and watched the excitement from afar.
With these role models, it will be of great help to Lu Yi in quickly recruiting new men and building up his own armed forces.
"Well, you have been out on the frontier for so long and have worked hard, so I will give you half a month's vacation. It just so happens that you all have some spare money, so you can relax and have a good time."
After distributing the bounty to the men, Lu Yi looked at Hou Cheng, Song Xian, Wei Xu and others who looked eager to try, so he smiled and gave them a day off.
Compared with ordinary guys who could recommend two people, in order to avoid the consequence of numerous factions in his army in the future, Lu Yi did not give generals such as Hou Cheng the authority to recommend people.
The best way to avoid a bad thing is to not give it the chance to happen!
"Thank you, big brother! This amount of money is enough for me to buy a lot of raw materials, enough to brew several jars of fine wine!" Hou Cheng smiled. He liked drinking since he was a child, and he was also very interested in the art of brewing wine. Whenever he got a windfall, he would try new brewing techniques and was determined to brew the best wine in the world.
However, by chance, when Lü Bu was besieged in Xia Pi by Cao Cao, he called together his friends such as Song Xian and Wei Xu to drink in order to take back his horses. However, he inadvertently violated Lü Bu's prohibition on alcohol, which had just been issued but had not been notified to him in time. He was publicly whipped by Lü Bu, and was therefore jealous and resentful, and eventually conspired with Song Xian and Wei Xu to betray him.
He first stole the Red Hare and entered Cao's camp. Song Xian and Wei Xu also took advantage of the fact that Lu Bu was in trouble after defending the White Gate Tower for several days and tied up Lu Bu and his strategist Chen Gong and asked for surrender to Cao Cao.
Lu Yi, who was familiar with all of this, subconsciously glanced at the smiling faces of Hou Cheng, Wei Xu and Song Xian who were standing together, then turned to look at the smile on Lu Bu's face behind him, and suddenly felt a sense of unreality in his heart.
"No matter what the original history was, with me as a superfluous person in this life, I'm sure the story of White Gate Tower will have to change the protagonist in the future."
"Hou Cheng, you are such a fool, all you do is drink all day long. What's the point of drinking? In my opinion, the greatest pleasure in the world is gambling. Last winter, I lost a lot of money in the gambling house in the county. Now that I have the capital in my hand, I will definitely kill these con men without leaving a single piece of armor!" Wei Xu teased Hou Cheng with a smile, and suddenly an uncontrollable excitement appeared on his face.
"Haha, just you?" Hou Cheng ignored him. Instead, he glanced at him with disbelief and went home first.
"Want to gamble again? Have you forgotten that you lost all the money in your family last year? It was only because of your sister's work that you didn't starve to death!" Upon hearing this, Lu Bu couldn't help but frowned. He walked forward with an angry face, grabbed Wei Xu's collar and lifted him up in the air.
"Hehe, Fengxian, don't be angry. The money today is given by Brother Lu Yi and it is of great significance. It will definitely help me kill all the enemies!" Wei Xu did not dare to go against Lu Bu and begged for mercy repeatedly.
"No, I can't just sit there and watch you lose everything again. I can only leave you half of this money..." After thinking about it, Lu Bu pretended to be angry and snatched half of the copper coins from Wei Xu's hand and stuffed them into his arms. "I will personally deliver the remaining half to your home, otherwise your sister will have to clean up your mess and do hard labor for you after you lose everything!"
"Fengxian, you...Brother Lu Yi, look at Fengxian, please say something!" Wei Xu couldn't compete with Lu Bu, so he could only ask Lu Yi for help with an anxious look on his face.
"I think Fengxian did the right thing!" Hearing this, Lu Yi chuckled and snatched more than half of the copper coins from Wei Xu, leaving him less than a thousand copper coins. "As the saying goes, nine out of ten people lose in gambling. Wei Xu, you have bad luck. You should gamble less. You earned all this money through hard work. If you give it all to the dog village, wouldn't it be too stupid?"
"Well, even you, my big brother, bully me. None of you with the surname Lu are good people. You even cheated me of my hard-earned money!" Wei Xu almost cried out when he saw this, and kept accusing Lu Yi and Lu Bu of their crimes.
"If you make trouble again, I won't leave you even a thousand coins!" Lu Yi threatened with a stern face.
"I dare not, I dare not! One thousand coins is one thousand coins, it is better than nothing at all!"
Wei Xu was shocked when he heard this, and immediately grabbed the last remaining string of copper coins and ran away like a fly, chasing after Hou Cheng who had already gone far away, shouting non-stop as he chased.
"Brother Hou Cheng, please stay for a while and lend me two thousand coins..."
"This brat!" Upon seeing this, the disguised anger on Lu Bu's face gradually disappeared, and he couldn't help but cursed Wei Xu with a smile from behind.
Then, he looked down at the thousands of copper coins in his hand, and couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and smile with joy.
"I think you are thinking about someone else's sister!" Lu Yi smiled and hit his chest, then threw all the copper coins he had snatched from Wei Xu to him.
"Brother, what's wrong with you..." Lu Bu was shocked when he heard this. This flying general of the late Han Dynasty, who was famous for his martial arts, almost failed to catch the strings of copper coins that Lu Yi threw lightly.
"No! I didn't! I just care about my brothers." Realizing that he had let the cat out of the bag, Lu Bu wanted to slap himself twice and quickly denied it.
"Isn't it too late for you to deny it now?" Gao Shun sighed, walked up to Lu Bu and patted his shoulder with a smile: "Except for Wei Xu, that gambler, even I can see it, so don't try to cover it up."
"You..." Lu Bu looked at Gao Shun in shock, feeling despair in his heart.
"Gao Shun is the slowest person to notice this kind of thing. If even he can figure it out, then what about the others..."
Lu Bu thought about it and turned stiffly to look at everyone.
But when he saw Cheng Lian, Song Xian, Hao Meng and others looking at him with smirks on their faces, his heart couldn't help but skip a beat.
"It's over!" Lu Bu had no idea that his disguise, which he thought was perfect, had already been seen through by everyone. He was so ashamed and angry that he wished he could find a hole to crawl into.
