My son, how could you be Lü Bu?!

Chapter 52 Proper Discipline

"Cheng Lian!"

"You stand outside and keep watch!"

"If anyone comes looking for you, ask them what happened, and then tell them to leave!"

"Today, I will definitely teach these two a lesson! Even if Uncle Fang tries to persuade them, it won't work!"

Just as Qian Zhao and Qian Zijing were being summoned by Shen Pei, discussing with Wang Yun and Wang Zishi how to report to the court on their merit in suppressing more than a hundred bandits.

The protagonist in the memorial was now standing in his newly acquired courtyard, his face full of anger, holding a thorn cane and swinging it forcefully.

With his swing.

Muffled groans echoed throughout the small courtyard.

Startled, several sparrows that were standing in a corner of the yard, pecking at larvae, flew up one after another, not daring to linger.

And in the small courtyard.

The group of wandering knights had long been dismissed, some going home to rest, others going to the homes of their fallen comrades to deliver the news.

Only Lu Bu and Wei Xu remained, kneeling on the ground, shirtless, not daring to raise their heads.

And Lü Ping, holding a thorn branch.

As for Cheng Lian, he stood far away outside the courtyard, helping his master Lü Bo stand guard, afraid that if he saw the two men's disheveled appearance, he would be targeted by them in the future.

"Where does this murderous intent come from?!"

"You, Wei Xu, are as audacious as stone, yet I have to smile obsequiously at Cai Yong, who is renowned throughout the land. How dare you boast of killing him to vent my anger?!"

"And you!"

"Fengxian, tell me the truth. If Cheng Lian hadn't stopped Wei Xu, were you really planning to follow him to kill Cai Bojie?!"

"What's wrong with your brain?!"

"It's all over his body?!"

"His strength is equal to a hundred men, yet his intelligence is inferior to that of a dog?!"

"Next time you do something, can't you at least use your brain a little?!"

That's all.

Wei Xu knew he was wrong, so he lowered his head even further. Lu Bu, who had been dejected, suddenly grinned as if he had thought of something when he heard his father's words.

Seeing this, Lü Ping became even more furious. He stepped forward and lashed out with his whip, striking each of them once, causing them to grunt heavily in pain.

If a child is not taught, it is the father's fault.

Lu Ping finally understood the educational method Zhang Fan had mentioned back at Shimen Ferry: it's more satisfying to give a naughty child a good beating when they do something wrong.

of course.

There are techniques to fighting.

When Lü Ping was fighting Lü Bu and Wei Xu, he specifically dismissed the group of wandering knights and instructed Cheng Lian to squat outside, for fear that if anyone found out, it would embarrass the two men.

Also.

You have to do it yourself.

After all... one was his brother-in-law, and the other was his eldest son. If it weren't for their status, Lü Ping felt that there were very few people in the world who could make these two killers obediently take a beating.

After a severe beating.

Seeing that there was some redness and blood seeping from the backs of the two men, and that they were still kneeling obediently, waiting to be beaten, Lu Ping's anger finally dissipated by most.

He stared at the bloodstains behind the two men for a long time before letting out a long sigh and casually throwing away the thorny branches.

Get up.

"Your back is bleeding. Don't put on any clothes yet, or you'll get bloodstains on them."

After saying that.

Lü Ping then turned around and walked straight into the house.

Having finally endured Lü Bo's beating and seeing that Lü Bo's anger had subsided, Wei Xu finally revealed a smile and pulled Lü Bu to his feet.

As he stood by, Wei Xu muttered a complaint under his breath.

"Fengxian, tell me, I was just joking around."

"Is Lu Bo really that serious?"

"It was so serious, they even started fighting!"

Hearing Wei Xu's complaints, Lü Bu frowned slightly. He glanced at Wei Xu with a questioning look, but didn't say anything.

The two had just stood up.

Lu Ping, who had entered the house earlier, came towards the two of them with a few hemostatic herbs he had brought back from outside the village and a few clean strips of cloth.

Wei Xu was stunned for a moment. He subconsciously looked down at the herbs in Lü Ping's hand.

Lu Ping continued his work, using a ceramic mortar and pestle to crush the herbs in his hand into a paste, while speaking softly.

"Sit still."

Seeing Lü Ping's behavior, Lü Bu, who had anticipated it, chuckled and lowered his head. He quickly found a clean place to kneel and sit upright, waiting for his father to apply the medicine.

Wei Xu, who had never witnessed such a scene before, hesitated for a moment. He remained silent for a while, but then followed Lü Bu's example and knelt down to one side.

Standing behind the two.

Seeing that the two were unusually obedient, Lü Ping sighed softly, then took action again to wipe the blood off their bodies, and then carefully applied medicine paste to their wounds.

Feeling the coldness of the medicinal paste on my back.

Wei Xu, who was originally complaining that Lü Bo was too strict, opened his mouth as if to speak, but then stopped himself.

He lowered his head, glancing at Lü Bu to the side out of the corner of his eye. He saw that Lü Bu, whom he hadn't seen for a long time and who was even more arrogant than himself in his memory, seemed to have long been used to it. At this moment, he was just kneeling quietly, waiting for his father to apply the medicine.

Wei Xu remained silent, feeling a sudden surge of inexplicable emotion.

And outside.

It had been so long since any sound came from the courtyard that it seemed to have ended.

Cheng Lian, who was on guard duty, hesitated for a moment, then carefully approached the gate of the courtyard. He gently raised his hand, knocked on the door, and called out softly.

"Lu Bo?"

"Lu Bo?"

Lu Bo, who had just finished applying medicine to Wei Xu and was now applying medicine to his own eldest son, was somewhat puzzled.

"What's wrong?"

"Cai Yong, the man we rescued yesterday, has arrived," Cheng Lian said in a low voice.

"I told him earlier that you were busy and it was inconvenient for you to see people, but he insisted on staying and stood at a distance, saying that he would wait for you to finish so that he could come and thank you in person."

"No... Cai Bojie actually came?" Lu Ping raised an eyebrow, somewhat surprised.

Is he still away?

"Yes!" Cheng Lian turned his head and glanced at it, then nodded slightly.

"I've been standing here for almost 15 minutes!"

Hearing that Cai Yong, who was always so pretentious, would actually come looking for him and stand waiting for him for so long, Lü Ping was a little taken aback. He quickly sped up his work.

"Please come in quickly!"

"No! That's rather impolite!"

"Speak kindly to him, find a reason to reassure him, and wait a little longer until I've finished tidying up, then I'll personally go out and invite him!"

Outside the courtyard.

Cheng Lian nodded repeatedly after hearing this.

then.

He then strode towards Cai Yong, the little old man who was a little further away, leading Cai Yan and pretending to be indifferent as he looked around.

......

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

"You son of a bitch!"

"That Lü Zizhi is a son of a bitch! Why didn't he just die when he was seriously ill?!"

Jiuyuan City.

In a mansion that, though located in the heart of the city, occupies an enormous area.

Several sounds of porcelain shattering rang out!

Look in the direction of the sound.

There, a slightly overweight middle-aged official was seen, his face full of anger, smashing everything within reach onto the ground.

Beside him.

Standing there were Zhao Yan, a middle-aged minor official with a bronze seal and yellow ribbon at his waist, and his eldest son Wang Ren, who had a more respectable appearance. Both of them had dark faces and remained silent.

The atmosphere became rather silent for a moment.
