Chapter 207 Triggering the Intelligence Reduction BUFF

Seeing that he looked pitiful and young, Yun Zheng felt pity for him and took him with him.

From then on, Lu Wu followed Yun Zheng.

Having experienced the hardships of fleeing and witnessed the bloody and ugly side of the world, he did not want to be slaughtered again, so he made up his mind to learn some real skills.

The military camp is a magical place, where hidden talents and extraordinary people with special skills are lurking. He sought out masters everywhere and asked for advice humbly.

God helps those who work hard. After several years of hard study, he finally acquired a set of skills, and with these skills, he gradually stood out and became one of the most capable generals and strategists under Yun Zheng.

His status also changed from an ordinary soldier to a lieutenant general leading 3,000 troops.

Such professional achievements are absolutely very impressive.

Although his status is not as good as that of the son of the aristocratic Wang family, Lu Wu has a good appearance and outstanding abilities.

It would be fine if she was the legal wife, but she is just a concubine. Is it really worth it for that girl to abandon Lu Wu?

This made Yun Zheng and Madam Yun completely confused.

The two were silent for a moment, and turned to look at Lu Wu.

Noticing their gazes, Lu Wu did not think much about it. He just thought that they were worried about him holding the baby and were afraid that he would drop the baby, so he became extremely alert.

"My Lord, Madam, I solemnly promise once again that I will never let the young lady fall."

The couple: "..."

Yun Zheng sighed silently in his heart, turned his head and looked out the window with a frown.

After the Hundred Days Banquet, Yun Wanchen told him about Lu Wu.

He had no idea why the woman betrayed Lu Wu, and just thought she had some compelling reasons.

So he thought, she was just a girl from a brothel. As long as nothing happened to the Yun family, that girl wouldn't cause any trouble, so Lu Wu could just keep her.

Everyone around him knew how good Lu Wu was to that woman. He didn't want to hurt their relationship of many years because of a woman, so he ignored it.

Unexpectedly, the reason why the woman betrayed Lu Wu was because the young master of the Wang family promised her a position as a concubine.

Ha, it's really ridiculous! If that's the case, then we must never let this woman stay with Lu Wu again. Of course, we can't let her affect their relationship.

"Since you like children so much, why don't you get married and have one yourself? You are two years older than Yun Zhan."

After coming up with an idea, Yun Zheng's brows relaxed and he turned to look at Lu Wu, with a dark gleam in his eyes.

Hearing this, Lu Wu was extremely embarrassed.

He wanted to, but Yicuilou held Cuining's indenture contract and no amount of silver would help him. He had no other choice.

If it was an ordinary place, it would be fine, he could just use his power to suppress people, or operate in secret, but this Yicui Tower, backed by Duke Rong and Prince An, is the place least likely to be affected by such tricks.

In order not to cause trouble for his lord, he could not offend either the Duke of Rong or the Prince of An.

"Well, I only like the lord's children."

In order to hide the embarrassment, Lu Wu made up an excuse, which made Yun Wanning roll her eyes in her heart.

[You are lying. It is obvious that you cannot get the indenture of that girl, but you are deeply in love with her and just want to wait for her.]

[In fact, the indenture of that girl is not that difficult to obtain. It only costs a few thousand taels of silver. You have invested more than a few thousand taels of silver in her over the years.]

[The main reason is that you are not from a high family, and that girl, although she has fallen into prostitution, has a high opinion of herself and wants to marry into a noble family.]

[She despised you for being a refugee, so she arranged with the madam to put on a show.]

[She plays the pitiful, helpless woman who is forced by evil forces, while the madam plays the villain who holds the indenture and takes advantage of her power to do evil. The two of them sing the same tune and keep you, the big wronged creature, hanging and paying money.]

[No matter how capable and smart you are, what does it matter? ]

[Love creates a filter. In your heart, that girl is beautiful, innocent, and pitiful. You trust her immensely and think she would never lie or cheat. You have never doubted her.]

[So, of course, you were deceived, and not only were you cheated out of your money and your true love, but you also had to make mistakes in getting married.]

[As expected, no matter how smart a person is, once they encounter love, their intelligence will be reduced. They will be manipulated by others without knowing it, and they will be hopelessly stupid...]

After listening quietly to Yun Wanning's thoughts, Yun Zheng spoke up to continue Lu Wu's words.

"Really? Since we're talking about getting married, I'll just say a few words. Do you have any favorite girls?"

"If you have one, don't worry about anything. Tell me and I will personally act as a matchmaker for you. In the capital, whether they are officials or wealthy businessmen, they will all give me some face."

Lu Wu: “…”

Hearing Yun Zheng's words, he couldn't help feeling embarrassed.

The lord clearly knew about his relationship with Cui Ning and had always turned a blind eye to it in the past. Why would he suddenly interfere today?

When asked which family's daughter he liked, he specifically mentioned officials and wealthy businessmen. Although this was said in a rather subtle way, it actually clearly excluded Cui Ning.

After all, Cui Ning's identity is not among these two.

Why would the lord oppose his relationship with Cui Ning for no reason?

"Well, I am of humble origin, how can I be worthy of a daughter of a noble family? I dare not marry someone of high status."

"Why not? You think too little of yourself."

Yun Zheng didn't like his answer very much, and said in a deep voice, "You have made countless military achievements. If it weren't for the fact that our Dawu Kingdom has so many talented generals and aristocratic families, with your ability, you could have led the army and become a general long ago."

"Now, all we need is an opportunity. Believe me, that day will come soon."

"You can marry any young lady in the capital, including the daughters of princes and nobles."

It was both a blessing and a misfortune for Lu Wu to meet Yun Zheng.

Fortunately, after being rescued, he was taken to a holy place that is most conducive to training people. He acquired a lot of skills and achieved what he has today.

Unfortunately, Yun Zheng's light was too bright, just like the sun, covering up all his shining points.

Only when he is separated from Yun Zheng can his brilliance be revealed.

Yun Zheng had already made plans. After a while, he would step down and then recommend them all to the emperor.

If the emperor wants to accomplish something big, he needs the help of many capable people. Their abilities should be fully utilized and seen by the world.

"Thank you for your kindness, my lord, but I have no plans to marry at the moment..."

Lu Wu declined awkwardly. As for Yun Zheng's praise of his abilities, he did not take it too seriously. He had always known that Yun Zheng appreciated him very much.

There are many good horses, but there are few good horse trainers.

If it weren't for Yun Zheng's appreciation, he might not have been able to reach this point today relying solely on his own abilities.

The military camp is a complicated place, with aristocratic families interfering everywhere. All the better positions are occupied, and soldiers without background will encounter all kinds of suppression, and it will be impossible for them to get ahead.

"Oh, all right!"

Seeing how persistent he was, Yun Zheng sighed and said nothing more.

Yun Wanning looked at Yun Zheng's melancholy expression and felt very curious.

[Hey, since when did Dad become so keen on matchmaking? ]

[After being rejected, are you still so disappointed? 】

[Is there any joy in matchmaking that I can’t experience? ]

The Yun family couple: "..."

Little Milk Bag is starting to make up his mind again...

[Oh, right, I remember now, Dad has always disliked prostitutes, and he admires Lu Wu very much. Maybe he doesn't want him to really marry a prostitute in the future, so he wants to be a matchmaker, right? ]
