Chapter 355

"There is no one more familiar with the area north of the Yinshan Mountains than you."

"I have recommended you to the Marquis of Guo; do not embarrass me, do you hear?"

"The Marquis of Guo is a tiger general of the age; you must also restrain your arrogance, lest you displease him, and if he blames you, I will not be able to protect you."

"If you perform well, perhaps you will be valued by the Marquis of Guo and soar to the skies; do you understand?"

Standing not far from the Magistrate, Lu Bu, who was the Thief-Catching Official of Jiuyuan County, kept a straight face and nodded slightly.

The Magistrate looked at the proud-looking Lu Bu and didn't say much, only shaking his head slightly.

Three men stood behind Lu Bu.

Seeing the Magistrate turn his head away, they whispered in Lu Bu's ear.

"My lord, that Duan Yu was nothing more than a small village patrol officer before; he just had better luck and was valued by Dong Zhuo."

"That's how he got the chance to soar to the skies."

"Your ability, my lord, is unparalleled in the world; it's just that your timing has been a bit off."

"This time, my lord, you have encountered such a good opportunity; if you can show your skills, you will surely become famous throughout the world."

Hou Cheng's small eyes rolled around as he looked at the approaching cavalry in the distance, lowering his voice to say: "They all say that Duan Yu's archery is divine, but I don't believe his archery could be better than yours, my lord?"

Wei Xu and Song Xian, who were beside Hou Cheng, also hurriedly nodded in agreement.

"Your archery, my lord, is what you call truly divine."

"It's mostly just people who haven't seen it spreading rumors."

"If you could compete with that Duan Yu, my lord, you would surely suppress him."

Lu Bu's face was full of arrogance.

Lu Bu could be said to have heard Duan Yu's name like thunder during this period.

Especially after Duan Yu was granted an official position and a title, he had become a leader among the younger generation of the Great Han.

He had even made a great name for himself in Luoyang.

Suppressing Yuan Shu of the Yuan clan, receiving an audience with the Son of Heaven, being granted an official position and title, and killing Wang Gai in the street.

Hearing about these one by one, Lu Bu had only one thought in his heart.

Why wasn't it him who received all this?

In terms of bravery.

Years ago, he was already called the "Galloping Tiger of Jiuyuan."

The Xiongnu and Xianbei all feared him.

Why.

Why did Duan Yu, in just a few months, go from a village hunter to a Marquis of Duting, a General of the Household, and a Commandery Governor?

Luck.

In the final analysis, Lu Bu summarized one reason.

And that was luck.

Duan Yu's luck was too good.

To be valued by the Bingzhou Inspector Dong Zhuo.

That was how he got the opportunity to soar to the skies.

If this opportunity were given to him, he could do the same.

And just a few days ago.

The Magistrate found him.

Saying that Duan Yu was going to Shoujiang City to serve as an envoy to the Xiongnu and needed a guide familiar with the Yinshan Mountains and the Mobei grasslands.

Lu Bu originally didn't want to go.

But Hou Cheng, Song Xian, and Wei Xu persuaded him.

This mission to the Xiongnu was to display the military might of the Great Han.

If he could display his martial prowess during this mission, he would surely become famous.

In this way, if his fame reached Luoyang, it would surely be heard by the Son of Heaven in Luoyang City.

At that time, he would inevitably be granted an official position and title.

Only then did Lu Bu agree.

"If you, Duan Yu, can do it, I can do it too; why should you be the one granted an official position and title?"

Lu Bu gritted his teeth secretly: "I, Lu Bu, will also be granted an official position and title!"

"A real man is born into this world; how can he live under others for long!"

Lu Bu shouted in his heart. ===== CHAPTER 357 =====
