"Chief Banner Officer Lü, what is it?" Lu Zhenghai asked indifferently, his attitude not particularly good, but very cold.
Chief Banner Officer Lü's expression paused slightly, somewhat surprised by Lu Zhenghai's arrogance in not even bothering with basic Face-saving work.
After a moment of stunned, Chief Banner Officer Lü himself was all smiles. He walked in, approached Lu Zhenghai, and lowered his voice slightly: "Centurion Wang is hosting a banquet for Brother Lu tonight at Tongle Building."
"Oh?" Lu Zhenghai raised an eyebrow, a little surprised. Centurion Wang wants to win him over? Heh... "Brother Lu, in the Garrison, Centurion Wang's influence is much greater than Centurion Song's. Just look at the Banner Commanders; even with you, Centurion Song only has three Banner Commanders under him, while Centurion Wang has five." Chief Banner Officer Lü continued, "Centurion Wang said that as long as you abandon the darkness for the light, he will fully support you in becoming a Centurion!"
Lu Zhenghai: "Not interested."
Even a fool knows that once you pick a side, you can't change it, or you become a traitor, and traitors never come to a good end.
Moreover, Centurion Song had been very good to him. For example, regarding points, Centurion Song privately added thirty thousand points to him during two internal Embroidered Uniform Guard rewards.
More importantly, Centurion Song was definitely not simple; he most likely had a significant background.
There was no reason to betray Centurion Song and go curry favor with Centurion Wang.
To take a step back, Lu Zhenghai was very petty.
Heh heh, Centurion Wang had been causing trouble all this time; don't think he had forgotten.
"Chief Lu, you can't possibly keep achieving merits forever. If Centurion Wang targets you, you won't escape," Chief Banner Officer Lü's smile receded slightly.
"Are you threatening me?" Lu Zhenghai asked casually.
Chief Banner Officer Lü's smile completely vanished: "Chief Lu can certainly think so. Your two merits have been a great help to Centurion Song. Centurion Wang and Centurion Song are mortal enemies. Do you think you deserve to die? Not just you, but also your two lackeys, Zhou Hu and Zhao Black Pillar, deserve to die!"
At this point, Chief Banner Officer Lü's voice was already somewhat chilling, with murderous intent flashing.
He had already heard from Centurion Wang that if Lu Zhenghai was ungrateful... then, even if it meant using poisoning, ambushes, or other methods, Lu Zhenghai had to be killed.
They absolutely could not let Lu Zhenghai continue to help Centurion Song achieve merits.
Chief Banner Officer Lü expressed his strong agreement.
Setting aside everything else, he, Lü Tianyang, had worked like an ox and a horse in the Embroidered Uniform Guard for twenty-seven years.
He was fifty-one years old this year, while Lu Zhenghai was just a young man of twenty.
Why should the two of them be on equal footing, both as Banner Commanders?!
Lu Zhenghai deserved to die. He had even thought of several ways to ensure Lu Zhenghai died without a burial place, just waiting to discuss them with Centurion Wang.
Just as Chief Banner Officer Lü's murderous intent became increasingly unconcealed, increasingly dense, and increasingly wanton... then.
"Bang!!!"
Suddenly, Lu Zhenghai directly made his move.
Yes, in the Garrison, in his own office, he just fucking, unhesitatingly made his move.
Such behavior was no longer arrogant, but insane.
Lü Tianyang never expected it, so how could he have even the slightest bit of defense?
Furthermore, they were so close, almost Face to Face, and Lü Tianyang was only at the first layer of the Innate Realm, while Lu Zhenghai was at the fourth layer of the Innate Realm.
This punch landed squarely on Lü Tianyang's neck.
Lü Tianyang didn't even have a chance to scream before he was sent flying backward, his neck exploding in the process.
Blood gushed out.
The smell was pungent.
Broken bones were exposed.
Lu Zhenghai snorted, thinking, you're already openly revealing murderous intent, how can I let you live?
In the Garrison?
No matter, kill first and ask questions later!
With no third person present, in an ancient setting, one could argue their way out of it.
Moreover, he still had extremely, extremely important intelligence regarding Commander Current Commander, which was like a super trump card, so he had no fear.
The next moment.
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh..."
Because the commotion was considerable, many lieutenants quickly rushed over.
Including Zhou Hu, Liu Quan, and other Squad Leaders and even Banner Commanders.
In the blink of an eye, Lu Zhenghai's office was packed with people.
Everyone present was stunned, thinking their eyes had gone blind. What... what did they see???
Holy shit, Chief Banner Officer Lü's neck was shattered; he was as dead as could be!
"Bo... bo... boss, what... what happened?" Zhou Hu was scared pale.
He knew that his boss seemed to have changed recently, becoming frighteningly bold, but he had still greatly underestimated him!
A few days ago, his boss had only dared to kill Zheng Qu and Luo Wang, a lieutenant and a Squad Leader, in the street.
Now he dared to kill a Banner Commander?
And in the Garrison, which was an extremely serious offense.
"Chief Banner Officer Lü tried to kill me. I instinctively resisted and accidentally killed Chief Banner Officer Lü. It's my fault," Lu Zhenghai said.
Just then, Centurion Wang had arrived, he didn't know when, his Face ashen. His eyes, filled with raging anger and roaring murderous intent, stared at Lu Zhenghai, and he cursed, "You're full of shit!!!"
Lu Zhenghai, however, smiled at Centurion Wang:
"Centurion Wang, Chief Banner Officer Lü not only tried to kill me, but he also said he was following your orders."
"I was just thinking, how could such a good superior as Centurion Wang, who cares so much for us Banner Commanders, Squad Leaders, and lieutenants, possibly want to kill me?"
"I've been performing so well recently, achieving two merits. Centurion Wang must be too busy appreciating me."
"Here, I must state unequivocally that I am absolutely certain it was Chief Banner Officer Lü who wanted to kill me, and it has nothing to do with Centurion Wang!"
..."You!"
Centurion Wang was so angry he almost spat out a mouthful of old blood.
The Qi of his eighth-layer Innate Realm cultivation began to uncontrollably release.
He glared intensely at Lu Zhenghai.
This damned little bastard was not only extremely arrogant, killing Lü Tianyang within the Garrison.
He even dared to frame him right in front of him.
See? Many of the other lieutenants and Squad Leaders present were subtly looking at him... Clearly, many believed Lu Zhenghai's words.
Damn it.
Now, not only was Lü Tianyang dead, but he himself was covered in shit?
Taking a deep breath, Centurion Wang, relying on his last shred of reason, forcibly suppressed the urge to kill Lu Zhenghai on the spot, and said in a hoarse voice: "No matter what, attacking and killing a colleague within the Garrison is a serious crime!"
Lu Zhenghai's smile grew even brighter. He was just about to argue, no, just about to refute... when suddenly.
"Wang Shanhe, I'll fuck your mother!!! What are you doing to Chief Lu?"
Centurion Song's voice came from afar, filled with urgency, irritability, and anger.
Wang Shanhe was, of course, Centurion Wang's name.
Lu Zhenghai was a little confused.
Centurion Song probably hadn't figured out the situation. Seeing so many people gathered around his office and Centurion Wang from afar.
He thought Centurion Wang was going to do something to him, so he started to be protective.
Hahaha... hilarious.
Sure enough, he clearly saw Centurion Wang's Face twitching with anger.
