Chapter 533 Fengxian save me, you...
"Adoptive father!"
"Qi Dan reported that he had conquered Lu, the King of Lu died in battle, and more than 10,000 were captured!"
"Good!"
After the banquet, the generals left one after another. Lu Bu supported King Zhao to his temporary residence while speaking.
"Fengxian!"
"My sons are useless, but you are invincible!"
"After a hundred years, I want you to take over my foundation. What do you think?"
"I dare not!" Lu Bu immediately knelt on one knee with a look of panic. "Adoptive father treats me like his own son. I dare not ask for too much. My brothers are all outstanding people!"
"The title and foundation of my adoptive father should be inherited by them!"
"Hahaha!"
When King Zhao heard this, he was immediately filled with joy and laughed out loud: "Good, Fengxian, I didn't make a mistake, good, good!"
Lu Bu looked at the staggering back of King Zhao, his eyes full of complex colors, until he saw King Zhao walking into the hall, he let out a long sigh of relief.
"There are assassins!"
A sharp cry sounded, and several figures rushed to the attic: "General Fengxian, quickly protect the prince!"
Lv Bu took a step forward and rushed into the hall. He saw King Zhao holding a short sword and dealing with two assassins. For a moment, he was able to do it with ease, and he was stunned.
"Fengxian, save me!"
"Adoptive father, don't panic, the child is here."
Lv Bu jumped into the air and kicked an assassin away. The short blade in his hand also slipped out of his hand. He kicked again, and the short blade circled in the air and shot straight at King Zhao.
"Puff!"
Blood splashed, the short blade pierced through his chest, and King Zhao looked at Lu Bu in disbelief: "Fengxian...you...you!"
"Adoptive father!"
"Bold assassin, dare to kill my father, die!"
Lv Bu saw King Zhao die, and the stone hanging in his heart finally fell. He picked up the short blade on the ground and rushed towards the assassin.
"Die!"
The two assassins were beheaded. The guards of King Zhao rushed in and saw Lu Bu slaying the assassins. King Zhao's pupils were dilated and he died on the ground.
"Adoptive father!"
Lv Bu cried bitterly and knelt down in front of King Zhao, hugging his body.
"Adoptive father... wake up!"
"I am incompetent and ashamed. Adoptive father, open your eyes and look at me!"
"Adoptive father!"
Not long after, all the civil and military officials under King Zhao gathered in the attic, their faces full of grief.
"What happened?"
"With Lu Bu here, how could the prince be assassinated?"
A general grabbed a guard's collar and asked angrily.
"General... at that time... the prince went into the attic alone, and General Lu was standing in the courtyard, just about to go back."
"After hearing the prince's call, we rushed to the hall with General Lu, but the prince..."
"Asshole!"
The general's face was extremely sad and angry. The great cause had not been accomplished, and the prince was assassinated on the way. He had just conquered Da Nian and Lu!
What should he do?
"Everyone!"
Lv Bu hugged the body of King Zhao, his face dead silent: "This time it's my fault that I didn't protect my adoptive father. From now on, I am willing to retire and mourn for my adoptive father. My adoptive father's unfinished great cause depends on you!"
"General!"
When these words came out, everyone's face changed drastically. Looking at Lu Bu's sad face, they were all silent.
"General!"
In the end, it was the number one staff member under King Zhao who came out.
"General, the prince's sons are either talented but not virtuous, or virtuous but not talented."
"Now, with the enemy at hand, please take up the banner, take over the king's business, and complete the great cause for the prince!"
"Please obey my orders, general!"
As he spoke, he knelt directly in front of Lu Bu. Upon hearing this, a group of generals also stepped forward and followed Xu Liang's example.
"Please obey my orders, general!"
"Don't persuade me anymore, Bu, I have no face to face my adoptive father!"
"Bu can't even protect his adoptive father..."
"General!" Xu Liang's face became serious, and he looked straight at Lu Bu: "Don't you care about the lord's ten years of hard work?"
"Are you going to watch the prince's ten years of glory go to waste?"
"Watch hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians of my Zhao State die at the hands of the Central Plains people?"
"This..."
"Please obey my orders, general!"
Lu Bu slowly lifted the body of the King of Zhao. After slowly putting it down and standing up, he looked around: "I never expected that King Nian would have a trick up his sleeve!"
"Since you have persuaded me so much, I, Lu Bu, will temporarily take over my adoptive father's legacy. When I have fulfilled my adoptive father's long-cherished wish and unified Guanshan, I will pass on my adoptive father's legacy to my brothers!"
"General, you are so righteous, we admire you!"
So, Lu Bu naturally became the heir of King Zhao, and his prestige in the army was at its peak. After sweeping across Da Nian and Lu, his troops also reached more than 100,000.
"Fengxian, the lord has an order, the next step is to sweep across Guanshan from you!"
"Sir, does the lord want to withdraw his troops?"
"No!"
In the secret room, Xu Liang and Lu Bu sat opposite each other, both of them looked solemn, but Lu Bu's eyes were a little sad.
"General Chen and General Huo's cavalry are already at the gates of the city."
"We need to open a path to negotiate peace with them!"
"My lord, what you mean is to give us half a month to completely control the legacy left by King Zhao!"
"Yes!"
Lü Bu nodded heavily and said softly: "I have prepared for this!"
"This is the best. In ten days at most, the pass can be settled."
...
Inside the Nine Passes.
There were frequent reports of victory on the front line. King Han and King Chu were defeated by the troops of Ran Min and others. In just seven days, they surrendered.
After King Xu was assassinated, his sons fought and fell apart. King Nian and King Lu were buried by King Zhao, and King Zhao also died in the hands of the "assassin". King Cheng and King Bei successively negotiated peace with Dayu and finally surrendered.
Only King Qi seemed unwilling to give up. He prepared his army for war and defended it strictly.
"My lord, the situation in Guanshan has been decided."
"The King of Qi alone can't cause any trouble."
"Tomorrow, the armies will meet and we can go straight to Qi."
Ning Fan nodded slightly, holding a battle report in his hand, and said calmly: "Behind the King of Qi stands the Tiandao League of Guanshan!"
"Tiandao League?"
Guo Jia frowned slightly, with a bit of doubt on his face. Li Ru explained: "Tiandao League is also a first-class sect in Guanshan. Compared with the five major sects, it has a deeper foundation, but it has not appeared in the world for decades."
"My lord, will the Tiandao League interfere?"
"Yes!"
Ning Fan nodded slightly, smiled and said: "It doesn't matter, after all, it's just a sect."
"Pass the order down, march into Qi tomorrow!"
"Yes!"
