Guo Kai never expected that these people would actually take action.
The leader kicked Guo Kai to the ground. Then the rest of the men began punching and kicking Guo Kai, who was already drunk and completely dazed from the beating.
"I am...!"
Before he could finish speaking, Guo Kai's mouth was kicked by the other party.
"Give me back my grandma, even if your grandpa came, it wouldn't make a difference."
Guo Kai, having gone all out, shouted at the top of his lungs, "I am the Prime Minister of Zhao!!!"
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone burst into laughter again.
"What nonsense are you spouting?"
"Prime Minister? Would a prime minister come to a place like this? If you were the prime minister, I'd be the King of Zhao!"
"Haha, bro, wake him up."
Seeing that his words had no effect, Guo Kai grew even more anxious. He immediately shouted, "I'm real, I'm real...!!"
Before he could finish speaking, he heard a loud "bang" beside him.
The man who was leading the group had rushed over at some point and, without saying a word, kicked Guo Kai in the head. Guo Kai's vision went black, and he passed out.
When Guo Kai regained consciousness, he found himself lying in an unfamiliar room. His whole body ached terribly. He struggled to sit up and realized that his arms and waist were experiencing tearing pain.
Guo Kai frowned, trying hard to recall what had happened yesterday. Suddenly, his expression changed, and he abruptly stood up from the bed. Unfortunately, the movement was too violent, causing his waist and shoulder wounds to flare up again. He couldn't help but gasp.
"Hiss~~"
Just then, Chu Liu pushed open the door and walked in carrying food.
"Prime Minister Guo, you're awake?"
Seeing the sixth day of the lunar month, Guo Kai felt even more ashamed. He had wanted to show off, but in the end, he was beaten up.
"Shopkeeper, please excuse my poor appearance."
On the sixth day, however, he said angrily, "These Mohists have gone too far! It's one thing to be arrogant towards us common people, but they even dared to beat up the Prime Minister of Zhao! They are truly lawless!"
Guo Kai was inwardly bitter. The Mohists were currently enjoying the favor of the King of Zhao, which made him feel threatened.
This time, the Mo family actually attacked him again. How could Guo Kai, who was vengeful, tolerate this?
"When I get back, I will definitely report this to the King!"
Chu Liu shook his head and said, "Prime Minister Guo, how can you prove they are members of the Mohist school if we haven't captured them?"
Guo Kai was immediately taken aback. That's right! Now that Yun Qingshu, the grandmaster of the Mo family, spends all his time with the King of Zhao, if he were to directly complain, Yun Qingshu would deny it to the death and then turn the tables on him. He would probably lose the King of Zhao's trust completely.
After all, they hadn't caught the person. If it were someone else, they wouldn't be afraid, given the King of Zhao's favor and trust in him.
The crucial point is that these are extraordinary times. King Zhao needs the help of the Mohists, so it is certainly not going to work if he rashly files a complaint.
"What should I do?" Guo Kai seemed to be asking himself.
After a moment of contemplation, Chu Liu said, "Prime Minister Guo, you cannot directly attack the Mo family now, but you can target them covertly."
"Although the Mohists are currently enjoying unparalleled influence, you are the Prime Minister of our Zhao state. Their foundation is not solid."
After Chu Liu's reminder, Guo Kai's eyes lit up instantly. This kind of thing was a piece of cake for him.
"Shopkeeper, you're right! I'll go back and prepare now; I will absolutely not let them get away with this."
After saying that, Guo Kai hurriedly left the tavern.
At this moment, Lu Li walked out of another room, watching Guo Kai's departing figure with a smile on his face.
Little Deer said from the side, "Brother Lu is too mean. If you want to mess with the Mo family, fine, but you made them get beaten up."
"Heh, this Guo Kai is no good either, he actually dared to try and lay a finger on my Black Ice Platform? Giving him a beating is too lenient!"
Upon hearing this, Chu Liu was stunned for a moment, and her pretty face blushed.
She actually had very little contact with Lu Li. After being brought to Yunmeng Mountain, Jian Chen used to teach them martial arts, but over the next three years, Lu Li taught them various strategies and tactics.
They were young then and only had blind worship for Lu Li. After all, as long as they had enough to eat, that was enough.
But Lu Li also taught them martial arts, music, chess, calligraphy, painting, and strategy, turning his eleven children into outstanding intelligence spies.
After they came out and saw the world, they were even more grateful to Lu Li from the bottom of their hearts, because Lu Li taught them the way of survival.
"Master... thank you!"
Chu Liu was already very charming, with captivating peach blossom eyes, and her shy appearance at this moment made her even more pitiful.
A normal man would feel a surge of anger upon seeing this, but Lu Li felt nothing at all.
It's not that he's not a normal man, but he watched Chu Liu and the others grow up, and his memories of them are still from when he was a child. These children are like his family, and he really doesn't have any other thoughts about them.
“But Brother Lu, Guo Kai isn’t stupid. He can find out by investigating later, right?” Lu Fusheng asked, puzzled.
Lu Li smiled confidently and said, "No way."
"Oh? Why?"
"Because human nature is the most complex thing. Guo Kai was originally very powerful in the Zhao state and enjoyed the favor of the King of Zhao. At this time, a Mo family came and threatened his position."
Do you think he wouldn't harbor any resentment?
The three women nodded thoughtfully. Once Guo Kai realized what Lu Li was doing, he wouldn't be able to miss out on the little trick Lu Li had used.
But he exploited Guo Kai's human weakness: he was jealous of talent and ability, and the Mohist school had long displeased him and even threatened his position.
He used this as a pretext to deal with the Mo family. Whether the Mo family did it or not was no longer important. As long as he believed it was, then it was.
Once the seed of hatred in Guo Kai's heart is ignited, given his vengeful nature, he will definitely take action against the Mo family.
As for the outcome, that's none of Lu Li's business. He just wanted to annoy the Mohists and the King of Zhao. If it succeeded, great; if it failed, it wouldn't be much of a loss for him.
This is a win-win situation, so why not do it?
"Brother Lu...you, you're so scary." Lu Fusheng said weakly to Lu Li.
On the sixth day of the lunar month, Chu Liu looked at Lu Fusheng with envy. They were both taken in at the same time, so why was Lu Fusheng allowed to take her master's surname, Lu, and be given the name Fusheng?
She could even call her master "Brother Lu" without restraint, while Chu Liu dared not, and could only respectfully call him "Master".
It must be said that while being born into the right family is a skill, luck is even more important.
If she had stood in front of Lu Li first that day, would things be different now?
Lu Li, unaware of Chu Liu's thoughts, continued, "Chu Liu, in the next few days, have someone closely monitor Guo Kai's movements and report to me regularly."
"Yes, Master!"
