Mo Tienan's face gradually turned ashen: "Lu Tu, are you trying to oppose me?"
Lu Tu sneered: "Oppose me? I brought men here to your aid, and this is how you treat your guests?"
As he spoke, his gaze swept across the surroundings, passing over the faces of all the guards. Everyone within his sight could not withstand the immense pressure emanating from Lü Tu and subconsciously looked away.
Lu Tu, with only a few men, intimidated the hundreds of people present.
At this moment, the sounds of killing outside reached Mo Tienan's ears, making his face even darker. He hadn't expected that Lu Tu's troops would be able to unleash such killing intent at this time.
Mo Tienan had been in the position of captain for more than ten years. What kind of people hadn't he seen? Naturally, he could tell from this that the guys waiting outside were definitely not comparable to the guards around him.
Moreover, the shouts outside were incessant, as if they might rush in at any moment, which made Mo Tienan's heart pound.
After all, Lu Tu had brought an army of 100,000, and he had also married Zhao Qingyao. No one dared to talk nonsense about such things, as it would be a capital offense.
In this situation, Mo Tienan's mind raced, and he was thinking about how to end things.
But Lü Tu didn't give him a chance to turn back at all, and walked straight towards Mo Tienan: "I have a bad habit. If someone treats me with respect, I will treat them with respect. But if anyone doesn't treat me, Lü Tu, like a human being, then they won't have a good life!"
These words immediately killed the game.
Everyone present gasped in shock, their pupils dilating as they stared at Lü Tu. They had initially thought Nie Yun's arrogant and unrestrained speech was the reason for this.
Unexpectedly, it all stemmed from the root cause. Lü Tu, the captain, was arrogant enough to say that Mo Tienan had no good life to live in front of the Dragon City guards. This was simply outrageous!
Mo Tienan panicked. He took a sword from the guard and held it to his chest, threateningly saying, "Lu Tu, if you take another step forward, don't blame me for being impolite!"
Lu Tu walked forward empty-handed, his steps even quite casual. This alone was enough to draw Xing Hua and others to stand in front of Mo Tienan and guard him.
"Lu Tu, did you hear me? This is Dragon City, not some backwater like Wuchuan!"
Seeing the contempt in Lü Tu's eyes, Xing Hua flew into a rage and slashed at him with his sword. At the same time, Nie Yun, Xiang Ze, and the others also began to move.
Nie Yun first let out a few more urgent whistles towards the outside, then drew his sword and attacked the surrounding guards.
As Lu Tu faced Xing Hua's attack, he simply shifted his body to the side to dodge it, and immediately struck Xing Hua's wrist with a hand chop, causing his sword to fall to the ground.
With a flick of his toe on the hilt of his sword, Lu Tu's sword appeared in his hand. Using the momentum of his turn, he immediately brought the sword down, severing Xing Hua's head.
With a thud, Xing Hua's body, which was spurting blood, collapsed to the ground, while Lü Tu casually reached out and grabbed Xing Hua's head in his hand.
This scene unfolded in the blink of an eye, stunning all the guards of the Commandant's Office!
Enraged, Mo Tienan also swung his sword, but Lu Tu easily blocked it, and the two began to spar.
"Lu Tu, do you really intend to rebel?"
"Who do you think you are? Do you even deserve to falsely accuse me? What harm would it do to kill you?"
A young man has the advantage in fighting. How could Mo Tienan, who is nearly 40 years old, be a match for Lü Tu?
It was just that Lü Tu did it on purpose; he didn't intend to kill him immediately.
Lu Tu kicked Mo Tienan in the stomach, sending him rolling on the ground several times. Just as he came to his senses, he felt a cold sensation in his throat. The blade's sharpness sent shivers down Mo Tienan's spine. He shouted in terror, "Stop it, all of you!"
Upon hearing his command, all the guards present stopped their attack. Only then did he realize that not only was Lü Tu Meng fierce, but even the captains under Lü Tu's command were incredibly fierce!
Over a hundred men fought against five, yet they failed to kill a single one, and more than 20 guards lay dead on the ground.
Mo Tienan suddenly realized something, and then looked at Lü Tu with shock and anger: "I understand now. Your purpose in coming to Longcheng this time is not to reinforce Longcheng, but to seize Longcheng! Your indulgence of your subordinates, seizing on the flaws in my words, and taking direct action is just an excuse!"
Lu Tu smiled wickedly: "Since that's the case, then hand over the Tiger Tally."
"Lu Tu, do you truly not know the rules, or do you have no respect for the law? Just because the Tiger Tally is handed to you, do you think you can rightfully take over the entire Dragon City? Do you still care about Lord Jiang? Do you still care about the Emperor?"
At this moment, the shouts of battle outside were mixed with cries of agony, and the scene was in complete chaos. Lu Tu didn't even bother to turn his head back to look; the outcome was already quite obvious.
Mo Tienan sighed helplessly, "It seems you're truly determined to seize Dragon City? What exactly is your purpose in doing this? If this gets back to the court, do you think the Second Princess can protect you?"
Lu Tu curled his lip in disdain: "Didn't I just say? My brothers are living in the north, enduring wind and rain, and only have a pound of millet to eat each day. Not to mention the other people, you are just a good-for-nothing. You have hundreds of thousands of troops in the city and so much food, yet you stay indoors and let the Red Turban Army go south to rob the people!"
As he spoke, Lü Tu glanced at the broken wine cup at his feet and roared, "Even the wine cups you use are made of Ru ware! Just how much have you embezzled? Longcheng is the central hub of the six border towns, and it's controlled by a coward like you. No wonder the Northern Border is constantly being suppressed by the Wuhuan people!"
At first, Lu Tu wasn't very angry, but now he's getting angrier and angrier as he talks, and everyone can see the facts.
When Lu Tu thought about the suffering he and the people of Wuchuan had endured, he felt it was all for nothing!
"These were all gifts from others, and I'm just giving them to you to use as a courtesy, you hungry wolf!"
Lu Tu laughed loudly, "That's right! I am a hungry wolf! If we don't fight and grab, we will only be killed by the Wuhuan dogs. How many days and nights have my brothers and I endured the wind and rain at the pass of Luanshigang? How many brothers have we lost before we stopped the Red Turban Army!"
And yet you, you coward, dared not send troops to attack, and even allowed Zhang Chengyan to lead his men south! Do you know the enormity of your crime? You dare to use the emperor and the court to pressure me? I could kill you right now, and everyone from the court to the common people would applaud!"
