Chapter Forty-Eight: A Step Late

Lu Rui didn't think much about it when he heard this, just quietly waited below for the city defender to come down and open the door for himself, but Lu Rui was not idle when he was waiting to open the door below, although it was getting late now, but with the help of the firelight, Lu Rui could still see the ill intentions that flashed on the face of the city defender just now, so naturally he had guessed that nothing good would happen next.

Sure enough, after the gate of the county was opened, it was not only the general who guarded the city that came out, but also dozens of patrol soldiers, and including the general who guarded the city, everyone was fully armed, and if anything good could happen in such a situation, Lu Rui would not believe it.

"What do you mean, General?" Lu Rui said in a very cold voice.

"It's nothing, I just want to personally check your token, if it's a real token, we will naturally treat you with courtesy, but if that token is imitated by you, even if the Jade Emperor descends to earth today, he won't be able to save you." The general guarding the city said to Lu Rui, and his hands kept rubbing two fingers, the meaning was obvious, he wanted Lu Rui to bribe him.

If it is usual, then Lu Rui naturally adheres to the principle that more is better than less, and gives him a little money to get by, anyway, gold and silver treasures are just a few points that can be exchanged for a few kilograms for Lu Rui, just bribe these passable little people, anyway, he is not short of that money.

But now it's different, Lu Rui came to the county in the name of Lu Zhi, not in his own name, Lu Rui can not care about his reputation, anyway, just such a few little people will not be damaged by their reputation, those who can achieve great things can endure humiliation, and Han Xin can still make humiliating actions in front of so many people; Yue Wang Goujian can also lie on the salary and taste the courage for so many years; Zhu Yuanzhang didn't know how many people he had been bullied in his early years. Compared with these historical celebrities, Lu Rui, who just bribed these little people casually, is too insignificant, let him say it if future generations want to say it!

But now Lu Rui can't do this, because once Lu Rui gives the general who guards the city, it won't be smeared on his face, it will be smeared on Lu Zhi's face, although according to the previous logic, such a little smear will not cause much damage to Lu Zhi's reputation, but Lu Zhi's kindness to himself is self-evident, he must not smear Lu Zhi here, even if it is just a little insignificant dirt, Lu Rui will never be allowed to appear on Lu Zhi's face, At the very least, this bit of dirt can't come from his own hands, otherwise, if he doesn't have to be insulted by future generations, Lu Rui himself will be the first to look down on himself.

"General, it's okay to show you the token again, but you think I don't know what you want to do? You're just trying to get some advantage from me, don't you think I don't know? Even if I check the token for you again now, I'm afraid you won't admit that this token is real, with your habits, you will definitely only bite that it's a guy, I don't know if I'm right? Lu Rui said coldly to the general guarding the city.

"I didn't mean that, I just wanted to check your token, I will act impartially, if it is true, I will never wronged a good person, if not, then don't blame the military master for my ruthlessness, I will leave your life here." The general who defended the city still said to Lu Rui.

"What if I don't say yes?" Lu Rui's voice became colder and colder.

"Boy, there is a limit to my patience, I warn you that it is already very face-saving for you to be able to stand here and talk to you and in a friendly manner, if you know each other, hurry up and follow my words, otherwise don't blame the military master for being ruthless." The general guarding the city also said coldly to Lu Rui.

"Do you really think you're sure you'll be able to keep me?" Lu Rui said to the general who defended the city.

"I can't keep you? Hahaha, I said you kid hasn't woken up yet! Do you think you are a Da Luo Jin Immortal or a god who descends to earth? Do you think you alone can beat more than 80 of us? The general who defended the city laughed at Lu Rui.

"Naturally, I don't have the ability to face more than eighty of you on my own." Lu Rui said to the general guarding the city with a smile.

"Haha, you kid know ......" This sentence has not yet been finished by the defending general, because he can no longer finish what he has not finished, because his head has left his neck and fell to the ground.

"But it's okay to kill you." Lu Rui put away the tiger's head chiseled golden gun, wiped the blood stains on it, and said with his back to the headless corpse of the general guarding the city.

"You...... You...... How dare you kill the general? Seeing that Lu Rui actually killed the general guarding the city unceremoniously, the surrounding soldiers couldn't help but change their faces, and said to Lu Rui hesitantly.

"What kind of virtue is your general, do you need me to tell you? What is the purpose of what he just said to me, I am afraid that you all know it, such corrupt officials and pests are punished by everyone, and it is because of the existence of such a person that our Han will end up in such a situation today, and he just treated his superiors like this, according to the legal system of the Han Dynasty, it can already be a capital crime, and I am just really acting as an envoy of the Han Dynasty. For your sake, I will spare you this time, if there is a next time, if I don't find out, once I find out, the end will be the same as this headless corpse. Lu Rui waved the tiger head chisel golden gun in his hand and pointed at the headless corpse that had already fallen off the horse and fell to the ground.

"The general is right, don't we know how he usually treats us? A person like him doesn't deserve to live in this world at all, and this general kills well. After Lu Rui finished saying this, someone among the many soldiers immediately jumped out and said.

"yes, this guy is damned, what else is he going to do besides deducting our wages to drink? He is an out-and-out wine bag and rice bag, and he is a waste of money. As long as someone has taken the lead, someone will follow suit, and as soon as the soldier finished speaking, someone jumped out and echoed it.

"...... right"

"That's right......"

"Well Killed......"

……

Then, all the soldiers talked nonsense, at this time, even if there are some people who still want to instigate everyone to kill, they don't dare to stand up, as the so-called gun shoots the first bird, once a person jumps out at this time and sings against others, he will definitely die an ugly death.

"General, please go in quickly! We're going to get you a good room to rest. At this time, a soldier came over and said to Lu Rui.

"There's no need to clean up the room, you just have to close the city gate and continue to patrol, and I won't bother you about it." Hearing this, Lu Rui just dropped such a sentence to that soldier, and then walked towards the city.

For Lu Rui's words, this famous soldier couldn't help but be a little disappointed, after all, the probability of being able to tie up with a big man like this can be described as low and pitiful, if you can serve these big people well, maybe you will soar in an instant, and it is not necessary to climb to a high position.

However, when this soldier was a little disappointed, in a second, the disappointment disappeared again, and after Lu Rui rode out a few steps, he suddenly turned back and asked the soldier: "Speaking of which, I have something I want to inquire about you." ”

"If the general wants to know anything, just ask, the villain will definitely tell the general as he knows." The soldier said to Lu Rui with some excitement.

"That's the case, do you know that there is a family in the county that specializes in killing pigs and sheep, and his family should belong to the kind of rich people in the county, and there is a peach orchard at home, and the owner should be very burly, and his face is a little dark." Lu Rui didn't know if Zhang Fei in this time and space really grew into the appearance recorded in the romance, so he just asked very uncertainly about Zhang Fei's appearance description, thinking that Zhang Fei should still have some fame in this county-by-county area, and it was better to ask this soldier than to look for it aimlessly.

"General, are you talking about the family in front of you called Zhang Fei?" After listening to Lu Rui's narration, the soldier immediately said to Lu Rui.
