Why do we say that ordinary heroic spirits are arbitrary for eternity?

Chapter 20 When you treat others with courtesy, you must ask for something!
  When he first joined Taipingdao, Lu Yu had no qualifications and no way to obtain more information.

Later, he performed meritorious service on the battlefield and was promoted by his commander Zhang Mancheng. After he became a deacon, he learned a lot of inside information.

For example, there are two factions in Taiping Dao in Nanyang.

One faction is completely loyal to the great virtuous teacher.

The other faction is led by Qu Shuai Zhang Man, and everything follows Zhang Mancheng's command.

Nowadays, the two factions are enjoying themselves without any disputes, and there are no major conflicts.

However, there are still more or less small actions in secret.

Human nature is complicated.

Zhang Jiao spread his Taipingdao shop too big and spread it all over the world, and it was simply unrealistic to want to firmly hold power.

There are still many powerful people involved in Taiping Road across the country.

Now it seems that this is the third faction!

It can be said to be intricate.

Lu Yu had no intention of getting involved, but in Taiping Road, there were many things that he couldn't control.

For example, Zhang Mancheng took him over from Han Zhong, and it can be said that he trained him vigorously, hired martial arts masters, and learned the art of war. He was also given meat and polished rice every meal. This treatment was not given in vain.

Lu Yu unconsciously sided with Zhang Mancheng.

……

At Tang Shigui's family dinner.

The dancers danced in the middle, Lu Yu was honored and seated, and Tang Shigui was toasting with a wine glass.

"If Deacon Lu can come here to show his favor, my humble abode will really be resplendent!"

"You're too polite!" Lu Yu picked up the wine glass.

Down below, Kong Yue, Ren Qingshan, and Wei Ergou were staring at the dancers intently, like local dogs who had never seen the world, looking awkward and uneasy.

They had never seen this before, and then they realized that rich people could have such a good time.

So it is very normal to have such behavior.

On the contrary, Lu Yu's calmness seemed very magical.

Tang Shigui investigated Lu Yu and found out that he was not a descendant of a down-and-out aristocratic family, but an ordinary person.

If he hadn't been absorbed by Taiping Dao before, he might have joined the rebellious refugee team.

But for such a person, his expression at this moment was so indifferent, and it didn't look like he was pretending at all, which inevitably shocked Tang Shigui.

After three rounds of wine and five tastes of food, the two of them became more familiar with each other through constant chatting.

Tang Shigui was a little tipsy and said with a smile: "Brother Lu, as an elder brother, I have a treasure to give to you!"

"Brother, you are born with supernatural powers. This thing is very suitable for you. Don't refuse it!"

"Come here! Bring the gift!!!"

Several servants brought over a large bow.

Tang Shigui stood up and introduced to Lu Yu: "This powerful bow was acquired by my father by chance. Legend has it that it is the overlord Xiang Yu's overlord bow. It uses dragon horns as the bow tip, black dragon sinews as the strings, and the bow is even more attached." He has the soul of a black dragon, so he is invulnerable to swords, invulnerable to water and fire, and has perfect hits!"

Lu Yu suddenly showed a speechless expression after hearing these nonsense words. He twitched the corners of his mouth and asked, "Is there any evidence?"

"Of course not!" Tang Shigui said matter-of-factly.

Then, he waved his hand with a smile and continued: "These are the bow seller's boasts, just to sell them for a good price. I also know that of course they can't be Xiang Yu's bows!"

"However, this bow is still extraordinary. It is a rare twelve-stone bow!"

"That's twelve stones. No one can pull such a powerful bow except Li Guang, who is said to be able to shoot stones!"

"That's what I thought until I met you, Brother Lu!"

"In the battle that day, brother, you used a spear to nail the head of the armored bandit to the ground!"

"What kind of natural power is this! At that time, brother, I was so impressed that I fell to the ground!"

"Even in my wildest dreams, I never imagined that there are such fierce people in this world!"

"It would be a great regret in this life if we could not make friends with such heroes!!"

"When I saw that scene, I thought, this bow should be suitable for a hero like you!"

"So, no matter what, I must put this bow away today!"

These flattering words made Kong Yue, Ren Qingshan, and Wei Ergou feel a little complacent!　　　That’s right! This is their big brother!
  A rare hero in the world!
  Lu Yu was also a little moved when he looked at the treasure bow.

A twelve-stone bow is a complete burden to ordinary people and is of no use at all.

Those who can draw a six-stone bow are already rare and fierce.

Most people only use a bow that costs about one stone.

Twelve stone bow, this bow is not made for normal humans at all.

But for someone with spiritual power like Lu Yu, it is the perfect killing weapon!
  However, he also understands a truth.

Courtesy to people, there must be something to ask for!
  At this moment, Tang Shigui was flattering himself so much and even gave him this twelve-stone bow. It was impossible for him to give it to him for free.

There must be a purpose!
  If you really want to make friends, this family dinner is enough, and it is impossible to give such a good thing.

Lu Yu looked at Tang Shigui and asked seriously: "Brother Tang, you are so polite to me and give me such a treasure. I wonder what you have to entrust me with?"

Tang Shigui was startled when he heard this and touched his nose in embarrassment. He originally wanted to go with the flow and state his request, but he didn't expect Lu Yu's sharp eyes to see that he must ask for something at a glance!
  At this time, it cannot be said that there is nothing going on.

He wouldn't do such a stupid thing just to save face.

"There are indeed some things I have to ask of you, brother." Tang Shigui nodded.

"Please speak." Lu Yu breathed a sigh of relief. It would be nice if he could open the skylight and speak frankly. He was really afraid of pushing him around and kept talking politely.

"Is such that……"

Tang Shigui spoke slowly.

Things still have to start from a month ago. On that day, Taipingdao defeated the rogue army.

But Taipingdao did not take advantage of the victory and pursue it, but left the mess to Chu Gong, the governor of Nanyang County.

Although Nanyang County Sheriff did not have the courage to take the initiative to attack, the rogue bandits fled in all directions and he still had the courage to beat up the drowned dogs.

The rogue bandits were completely dispersed, and the county guard's troops won a complete victory.

But they did not completely wipe out the bandits.

One of the main forces went directly into the nearby mountains, took over the mountains and became king, becoming bandits.

Because it occupies a dangerous position, it is difficult to attack. The government only tried once and withdrew immediately after finding that it was difficult to attack.

Seeing this, these bandits simply built a stockade on the mountain and went down to plunder from time to time.

The people at the foot of the mountain suddenly suffered.

But in this year of great disaster, where can the people at the bottom have food? Even if you want to plunder, you won't be able to plunder anything!
  Unexpectedly, these bandits simply kidnapped people and treated them as two-legged sheep!

The food problem was solved.

The bandits took a longer view and began to rob some caravans.

The Tang family's caravan is one of them!

The merchants complained so much that they jointly filed a lawsuit, but the county magistrate was too lazy to resolve this trivial matter.

There are not many people who go into the mountains to become bandits these days. This is nothing at all!
  There is no other way, these caravans can only come to Taiping Road to solve the problem.

The eldest son of the Tang family worked as a deacon on Taiping Road, so he was naturally found by these people.

Tang Shigui originally looked for Qu Shuai Zhang Mancheng, hoping to get Qu Shuai's help.

But Zhang Mancheng didn't bother to care about the affairs of these merchants. If he really came forward, it would be inevitable that he would be overstepping his authority, and the county magistrate would not be able to explain it.

However, Zhang Mancheng did not completely refuse. He asked Tang Shigui to find a solution on his own and ask others within for help! It’s just that he won’t show up!

The meaning of these words was obvious. Tang Shigui immediately found Lu Yu and placed his hope on him.

In order to ask Lu Yu for help, he was given warm hospitality, a twelve-stone bow, and all kinds of flattery.

At this moment, we finally got down to business.

Then Tang Shigui offered the final price: "We will come out to attack the mountain stronghold. Brother, just lead the team! If those bandits are really wiped out, the loot on the mountain will be [-]% to [-]%!!"

Lu Yu frowned: "Why am I only [-]%?"

"..." Tang Shigui, who was originally eloquent, couldn't help but fell silent. He couldn't help but think to himself, brother, you are really a big talker, you dare to say such things!
  "Seventy percent of it belongs to others, but this can be discussed."

Tang Shigui smiled awkwardly.

"Fifty percent!" Lu Yu said.

"Deal!" Tang Shigui agreed without hesitation.

If these bandits are really wiped out, that trade route can continue to be used. This price is affordable!
