Volume 1 Chapter 386 A Gentleman's Revenge
"You..." Li Nezha was so angry that he almost bled after hearing this. He felt extremely aggrieved. He was the admiral of Weihaiwei, but no one took him seriously. His title was bestowed by His Majesty himself. How dare they ignore him like this!
This, this, this is a great insult to him!
Li Nezha's face was extremely ugly, but Lu Feng didn't care at all. He grabbed Li Nezha's shoulders and threw him onto his own warhorse with force, and said with a smile: "Hurry up, Admiral."
Li Nezha was always in a bad mood along the way. Although he had many bad ideas, the other side had more people and he was alone. He thought he had ten great masters at his disposal, but he didn't expect that they would not listen to him at all.
Li Nezha couldn't help but feel numb. Suddenly, his stomach started to growl as he was thinking about it. He hadn't eaten anything since he set out yesterday. He only drank a few sips of water. Now he was really starving.
Looking around, he realized that he was now in a desolate mountain and wilderness, and even if he had money, he had nowhere to spend it. After thinking about it, he rode his horse towards Lu Feng.
"Admiral, what advice do you have?" Lu Feng asked directly.
Li Nezha coughed twice, trying to make his tone more friendly, and then said with a smile: "What's the use of calling someone a sir or not? It's too formal. We are all your Majesty's subjects, helping you share your worries. We are one family!"
"Your Majesty has given me the name Li Nezha. If Brother Lu doesn't mind, you can respectfully call me Brother Li. How about we call each other brothers from now on?"
Lu Feng said: "You are too polite, sir. I am thirty-two this year."
Li Nezha stood there stiffly with his mouth wide open. Three seconds later, he let out a dry laugh to cover up his embarrassment. Lu Feng also laughed along with him. Li Nezha looked around while laughing, at a loss. In fact, he was thinking of a countermeasure in his mind.
The next moment he said shamelessly: "In this case, I will call you Brother Lu. I will be the younger brother and you can call me Nezha."
Lu Feng quickly shook his head and said, "I don't deserve it. What do you want me to do today, brother Li?"
Li Nezha's dry laughter became louder and louder, and he even looked like he was about to cry.
Li Nezha suppressed his frustration, pulled Lu Feng over, and said softly: "Good brother, since His Majesty has sent you to protect me, it means that we are together. We should work together to deal with outsiders. You can't always go against me. That's not right!"
"Besides, if the tasks His Majesty has assigned to us are completed properly, especially my tasks, His Majesty will naturally be happy. At that time, I will say a few good words for you in front of His Majesty. Then, wouldn't you..."
The more Lu Feng listened, the more he felt something was wrong, so he quickly stopped him and said, "Wait a minute, the Anbu never pursues fame or fortune, so don't mention flattery again, or else don't blame me for being rude."
Li Nezha said quickly: "That's easy to say. The most important thing is that we work together. Don't go against me."
Lu Feng said: "This is nonsense. We in the Anbu have always only done things within our responsibilities. When have we ever been hostile to you?"
Li Nezha said he didn't want to talk to him, and the baby felt aggrieved.
Holding back his anger, Li Nezha said, "Anyway, you guys have to help me deal with them!"
Lu Feng smiled and said, "That's easy. As long as the money is in place, the brothers can do nothing at all."
Li Nezha asked quickly: "Give me a clear price, so I can prepare."
Lu Feng smiled, pointed a finger at him and said, "Apart from protecting your safety, anything else will cost 100 taels each time."
"Wow, big brother, you are robbing me!" Li Nezha screamed. He was rich, but he was not a sucker. He knew very well the purchasing power of one hundred taels of silver. One hundred taels for one thing really came faster than robbing money.
Lu Feng snorted coldly, "We brothers are top-notch experts. This is because the task His Majesty has assigned you is difficult. Otherwise, even if you offer one thousand or ten thousand taels of silver, you can't use us."
Li Nezha weighed the pros and cons in his mind and found that he had no choice at all, so he acted decisively, grabbed Lu Feng's hand, and said in a deep voice: "Okay, one hundred taels is one hundred taels, it's a deal!"
Then Li Nezha spread his hands and said, "Do you have anything to eat? I've been hungry for a long time."
Lu Feng calmly took out a pancake as big as a washbasin from his arms and said slowly, "One hundred!"
The next night, Li Nezha repeated his old trick and robbed a few soldiers' tents to sleep in. This time, he politely invited Lu Feng and ten other people to come in and sleep with him.
But Lu Feng and others actually refused, using the reason that they needed to be alert at night and sleeping outside in the tree would allow them to respond to sudden dangers in the first place.
Li Nezha felt better after hearing this. Although these people from the Anbu had strange personalities and were unreasonable, they were indeed protecting his safety with all their heart.
He paid special attention to the sleeping positions of these ten people, and completely surrounded his military tent in the middle position to ensure comprehensive protection.
When it was late at night and everyone was asleep except a few soldiers on guard duty, Li Nezha on the bed suddenly opened his eyes and a sneer flashed across his face.
It's time for a gentleman's revenge!
Gan Ce is so bold that he doesn't take the imperial court seriously at all. His position as the Admiral of Weihaiwei was appointed by His Majesty. Gan Ce's direct superior only has two thousand soldiers under his command, but he dares to disobey him and treat him as a decoration. Does he think he is so great? If he is not taught a lesson, does he really think that he, the Admiral of Weihaiwei, is a vegetarian?
Li Nezha quickly got up and left the military tent. Seeing that there was no one around, he quietly came to the tree where Lu Feng was sleeping and called softly, "Brother Li~".
The leaves trembled slightly, and a black shadow fell from the sky. It was Lu Feng.
"What is it?"
Li Nezha took out one hundred taels of silver and placed it in his hand, then spoke softly.
Soon, all the Anbu members on the surrounding trees landed. After connecting with Lu Feng, they all blended into the darkness and turned into a black shadow and headed towards the military tent where Gan Ce was.
With two thousand elite soldiers as his protection, Gan Ce naturally didn't take any precautions when he slept. He was snoring and playing chess with Zhou Gong in his dream. Suddenly, the gentle Zhou Gong in front of him turned ferocious and then slapped him in the face, making his cheek burn with pain.
It was because of this slap that Gan Ce woke up from his dream immediately, but when he opened his eyes, he found that he was tied to the trunk of a big tree, with his hands and feet tied tightly and unable to move.
Looking ahead again, Li Nezha was staring at him with a wicked smile on his face. His eyes were as weird as they could be. Lu Feng and ten other members of the Anbu were staring at him from the side.
Gan Ce was shocked and shouted: "It's you! You are so brave, let me go..."
Before he could finish his words, Li Nezha took out a tiny dagger from somewhere and put it on his neck. Gan Ce was so frightened that he dared not make a sound and raised his head high for fear of being hurt by the dagger.
