My game can make money starting from the Three Kingdoms period.

Guan Yu raised his phoenix eyes.

When the Xiang River was demarcated, Zhuge Liang secretly instructed Guan Yu to bring Anu and her two children to be cared for.

Guan Yu was unaware that Lu Congtian had divorced Anu, nor did he know that Lu Congtian was still pretending to be Lu Ji's spy.

He then kindly arranged for Lu Congtian to meet his wife.

Most people don't even get this kind of treatment!

"You lowly slave?!" Guan Yu snorted angrily, feeling as if his good intentions had been wasted.

Although this was Lu Congtian's family matter, there was still a sense of shared anger.

What's wrong with slaves? Don't slaves deserve respect?

Besides, she even bore your children without any complaints!

The moment you met them, you called them lowly slaves and claimed they were there to harass you. How absurd!

Lu Congtian clasped his hands in a fist and said, "General, you may not know, but I divorced this lowly servant several years ago. I appreciate your kindness, but it is inconvenient for me to stay any longer. Please..."

No one could see that Lu Congtian was suppressing all his emotions.

He was afraid that if he stayed too long, he would be unable to resist recognizing his children and explaining everything, saying that it was a misunderstanding.

No, not now!

A rift has already formed between Sun Quan and Liu Bei, and Lu Congtian, a discarded piece from Jiangdong, is gradually gaining more importance.

Now that he has gained more influence in the military, he only needs to pass on some useful information to Jiangdong to gain Jiangdong's trust.

In case of trouble, he could become a key piece for Zhuge Liang to counter Eastern Wu!

Therefore, even after seeing the person he had dreamed of countless times, Lu Congtian had to control his emotions and not recognize her!

When Anu heard Lu Congtian's heartless words, she felt as if the world had turned gray.

Over the years, Anu, a frail woman, has raised her two children alone.

She was subjected to gossip and ridicule for raising someone else's daughter.

Anu persevered, believing in her heart that her husband, Lu Congtian, must have had his reasons for being so heartless.

She didn't believe in her heart that Lu Congtian was a fickle, opportunistic person who would be blinded by beauty and power.

Now that they have suddenly met, before she could even question him, Lu Congtian shattered all of Anu's beliefs with his cold words.

"You beast! I'm going to kill you!"

Anu stepped forward with an awl.

But Lu Congtian remained unmoved.

A needle pierced through Lu Congtian's left shoulder.

He remained silent, glancing down with his head down.

That look in his eyes... conveyed acceptance, encouragement, and relief.

Blood gushed from the wound, splattering on Anu's cheeks. Her anger dissipated considerably, replaced by a panicked sense of doubt.

Guan Yu glanced at Lu Congtian's injuries and, thankfully, they hadn't hit any vital points, so he stood in front of Anu.

"This is your family matter, and I shouldn't interfere. However, with battle imminent, I need him to lead my troops."

Guan Yu could easily stop Anu, and so could Lu Congtian.

But they didn't make a move.

Lu Congtian wanted to use this to vent Anu's resentment and hoped that she could understand his gaze.

Guan Yu simply wanted Lu Congtian to get hit by a cone, to feel the pain, and to teach him a lesson.

Guan Yu now has a different opinion of Lu Congtian.

He stopped Anu at that moment to protect her.

After all, on the surface, Lu Congtian is a dignified Commandant of Nanjun, with a rank equivalent to two thousand shi, while Anu has not yet been registered as a citizen. This attack alone is enough to convict her.

Moreover, in terms of legal etiquette, Lu Congtian had already divorced Anu, so the two had no connection whatsoever.

Lu Congtian pulled out the iron awl, his expression unchanged, and casually tossed it aside. "Don't cause any more trouble, and I won't pursue this stab. Do you understand?! If you ruin my future, you will all..."

The threat was palpable, and he then pointed at Anu, Lu Qian, and Lu Ansheng.

The two children were terrified. They realized that the burly man in front of them was their father, whom they had been longing to see and who had secretly made the frescoes.

I never expected to suddenly see my father, and to find that he was such a demon!

Disown them, ignore them, treat them as a burden, and threaten them!

The child's world has collapsed.

"Mother~" Lu Ansheng hid in Anu's arms in fear.

The look in Lu Qian's eyes as he looked at Lu Congtian was already burning with hatred.

Anu shielded the two children, remaining silent, seemingly processing the look in her eyes from just now.

Guan Yu snorted, "Lu Congtian, are you testing my limits?"

"Your subordinate dares not," Lu Congtian said, bowing with his hands clasped.

"Guards, protect Anu and her child day and night."

"promise!"

Guan Yu gave Lu Congtian a warning look, "You, don't you dare set foot in this courtyard again!"

"Yes, Your Majesty. I shall take my leave."

After comforting Anu and her son, Guan Yu left.

Originally, Guan Yu wanted to let Lu Congtian lead more troops in the battle to take Nanyang, to see his command ability, and to focus on cultivating this young man who had climbed up from a commoner to his current position.

It truly proves the saying, "You can know a person's face but not their heart." The seemingly honest and kind Lu Congtian turned out to be such a beast to his wife and children behind their backs.

How can such a person be entrusted with important responsibilities?

Therefore, Guan Yu canceled the plan to send Lu Congtian to lead the troops into battle and sent him back to Jiangling to defend the city.

Back in Jiangling.

After hearing about this, Mi Fang praised Lu Congtian highly.

"Indeed, a true man should strive to achieve great things without being distracted."

"The general is right."

Mi Fang patted Lu Congtian on the shoulder again, "You are now a commander of a prefecture. If your wife were a slave, wouldn't people laugh at you? I think you've done the right thing. Besides, your future achievements will certainly not be limited to this. There will be plenty of wealthy young ladies who want to marry you! Marrying anyone is better than marrying a slave!"

"The general truly understands me." Lu Congtian's compliment pleased Mi Fang greatly.

"Alright, let's just stay back and happily defend the city. I'll find you a virtuous wife another day."

"Thank you, General!"

A few days later, Lu Su's desk was piled high with letters from Jingzhou.

One of the letters caught Lu Su's attention.

The letter detailed all of Guan Yu's arrangements for sending troops to Nanyang, and concluded with the sentence, "Jingzhou is vulnerable and can be attacked. If war breaks out, Lu Congtian will be summoned by the master."

"Lu Congtian?"

Lu Su had almost forgotten about Lu Congtian.

Upon suddenly receiving Lu Congtian's letter, Lu Su immediately suspected something was amiss.

Lu Su received news that Guan Yu had already sent troops to attack Nanyang County.

Suddenly, news arrived of Guan Yu's arrangements, which also revealed the vulnerability of Jingzhou. Who would believe it wasn't a hoax?

"Men, immediately activate the hidden agents in Jingzhou to investigate Lu Congtian and the battle in Nanyang."

Lu Su certainly knew that now was the perfect opportunity to retake Jingzhou.

However, reality doesn't allow it.

First, Sun Quan suffered a defeat at Hefei, where he was routed by Zhang Liao. The morale of Jiangdong was low, and the rear was in turmoil. At this time, he was unable to reorganize his troops and turn to attack Jingzhou.

Secondly, Lu Su had been working hard to maintain friendship between Sun Quan and Liu Bei, and he absolutely did not want to fire the first shot.

A few more days

Lu Su compared Lu Congtian's letters and confirmed Guan Yu's military deployment arrangements one by one.

Lu Su was overjoyed.

"This pawn, though discarded, is truly loyal to Eastern Wu!"

"He will surely be of great use in the future! For now, we must appease him and let him continue to lie low..."
