Chapter 52

~7 min read 1,309 words

He was already standing at the peak of martial arts; one step further would be to transcend the peak and achieve the legendary Heaven-Man Realm.

"Naturally!"

Su Xuan smiled and nodded: "That day will come, and I believe it won't be too far off! By then, I will definitely fight you with all my might, Brother Lu."

"Good! Haha! I'll wait for that day to come!"

Lu Bu slapped the table and shouted in approval.

"Come! Cheers!"

"Cheers!"

"Eh? I just realized, why is today's wine exceptionally strong and exceptionally good?"

Suddenly, Lu Bu felt the taste of the fine wine in his mouth was wrong, and he stared blankly at the wine in his cup, then suddenly remembered that Su Xuan had come to trade.

He suddenly looked up at Su Xuan and asked, "Brother Boyuan! This wine wouldn't happen to be that Drunken Immortal Brew, would it?"

"Haha! That's right!"

Su Xuan smiled and nodded, asking, "What does Brother Lu think of it?"

"Just call me by my courtesy name, Fengxian! Calling me Brother Lu sounds distant!"

Lu Bu waved his hand, then took another large gulp with bright eyes, gave Su Xuan a thumbs up, and praised, "It goes without saying! The best of the best! This is the strongest and best-tasting fine wine I have ever drunk!"

"How much of this stuff did you bring this time? I want it all!"

"Just as you said in your letter before, I will use top-quality warhorses to trade for it all!"

"If that's not enough, I can use precious horses to trade!"

"Anyway, if I run out of warhorses, I can just go and snatch them from the Xiongnu and Xianbei people."

This could almost be called a business with no capital.

With Lu Bu's current strength, combined with the military formation formed by his 1,200 Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry, he could completely be invincible and unstoppable on the grasslands.

Su Xuan immediately replied happily, "This time I brought over 400 jars in total; 200 jars were left with the Zhang family in Ma Yi, and after drinking some, there are 200 jars left, which I naturally brought over to sell to you, Brother Fengxian!"

"In addition, there are some white sugar, refined salt, refined iron weapons, soap, and scented soap, which are all good things; Brother Fengxian, feel free to take a look later, they won't disappoint you."

"Good!"

Lu Bu waved his hand: "I trust you, brother; I want all of it! Let's calculate it all in warhorses, furs, cattle, and sheep;"

"By the way! You specifically mentioned wanting wool in your letter; are you sure?"

"This stuff is useless, right?"

"If you're making clothes, the mutton smell is very strong; don't get swindled by others."

Now, Lu Bu's favor for Su Xuan had surged, and he had already classified Su Xuan as a like-minded confidant and a fellow traveler on the path of martial arts, so naturally, he didn't want Su Xuan to suffer a loss.

"I'm aware of that!"

Su Xuan nodded happily, feeling a bit moved in his heart.

Who said Lu Bu was ungrateful?

He actually has a side that values loyalty too!

At least, that's how it is for him right now.

Also, if Lu Bu were useless apart from his high martial arts skills, he wouldn't have so many people following him now and in the future.

It can only be said that environment and experience can change a person, and can also drive a person crazy.

Perhaps the current Lu Bu hasn't been driven crazy by the thresholds of officialdom and those great aristocratic families who look down on people.

"I have a way to remove that mutton smell, so this stuff might be waste in other people's hands, but in my hands, it can turn into treasure!"

"Therefore, I would like Brother Fengxian to send people to help me purchase more from the Hu merchants;"

"I can give you a five-percent profit on the purchase price; what do you think?"

Su Xuan held up five fingers to test the waters.

"Fine! Let's do that!"

Lu Bu did not refuse.

He wasn't a fool; why wouldn't he make money if he could?

He also didn't feel embarrassed about taking a five-percent profit from Su Xuan.

It was obvious that Su Xuan, who had mastered the method to remove the mutton smell, would definitely be able to obtain huge profits from this wool.

That he didn't ask for more was already very kind.

The expenses at home were also very high; practicing martial arts, drinking, and supplementing weapons all cost money;

Especially after his daughter Lu spiritual energy was born last year, there were even more places to spend money at home.

Making more money and letting his family live a little better was also good.

He didn't want his family to live a hard life with him.

Lu Bu worked hard to practice martial arts and achieve today's success not to let himself and his family live a hard life.

But to become a person above others.

He wanted money, he wanted fame, and he also wanted power.

A real man living between heaven and earth should display the ambitions of a swan.

As the saying goes, the great wind rises with the wind, and one soars ninety thousand miles straight up.

Lu Bu was destined to stand at the peak of the world in this life.

Afterward, Su Xuan continued to stay in Wuyuan for three days.

During this time, he, Huang Zhong, Dian Wei, and Lu Bu often sparred with each other.

He even followed Lu Bu on horseback to the grasslands for a trip, enjoying the scenery of the grasslands.

"Kill!!!"

As Lu Bu charged toward a small squad of Xiongnu, Su Xuan suddenly discovered that Lu Bu had actually gathered his Qi-blood together with his 1,200 Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry, forming a single entity.

"Military formation technique? Sure enough, Lu Bu has already mastered it without a teacher!"

Su Xuan widened his eyes in shock, feeling horrified in his heart.

At the same time, he hurriedly diverted a portion of his focus to observe and comprehend this military formation with all his might.

By the time he returned, he had already gained a lot and had a clue about creating a military formation technique.

"Brother Fengxian! I am very interested in your military formation technique; could you tell me about the key points and insights within it?"

After returning, Su Xuan took the initiative to find Lu Bu and asked.

"Oh?"

Lu Bu was a bit surprised: "Boyuan, you are actually interested in this too?"

"It seems you are also planning to take the path of a military general in the future?"

He knew the situation of Su Xuan's family.

Su Xuan had already been recommended as a filial and incorrupt official, so logically, he shouldn't be taking the path of a military general.

This path is not easy to walk.

If there was no other way, the path of a civil official would be better.

He didn't ask much and immediately nodded: "Since you are interested, there is nothing that cannot be said!"

"However, I must remind you that my military formation technique was something I accidentally comprehended and achieved, and I myself only have a half-baked understanding of it!"

"It is not a military formation technique in the traditional sense of the military strategists;"

"That kind of military formation technique, even my master doesn't have; I heard that only some top aristocratic families and world-renowned military families have it..."

Then, Lu Bu began to tell Su Xuan in detail about the military formation technique he had accidentally comprehended and mastered.

He explained all his insights to Su Xuan in detail without holding anything back.
