C3471 There Was an Assassin

1Many of the officials present laughed. Some of the bolder ones even introduced a certain niece to Lu Yu.    

    

Such a young and promising young man who was alone, no matter where he was, was quite attractive.    

    

Lu Yu waved his hand. "Sorry, I already have a companion."    

    

"Oh? This is my negligence, sorry." Wang Muzhi hurriedly cupped his hands in apology.    

    

After three rounds of drinking, the atmosphere gradually became harmonious.    

    

Some of the officials in Xiliang Prefecture had already begun chatting happily with Lu Yu's aides.    

    

"I heard that you are the first on the two lists, and you are also the top scholar in the new subject. Today, we are full of people. Why don't we write a poem? What do you think?" Wang Muzhi suddenly suggested.    

    

This proposal received the support of many of the officials present.    

    

"Poem -" Lu Yu tapped his finger on the table and fell into deep thought.    

    

At this moment, the drum beats on the high platform suddenly became chaotic.    

    

Everyone turned their heads to look.    

    

They saw that among the dancing dancers, a dancer suddenly rushed out and ran in front of Lu Yu in a panic.    

    

"Not good!"    

    

"There's an assassin!"    

    

In an instant, several guards appeared beside Lu Yu and surrounded the dancer.    

    

The other guards also came to the side of the surrounding officials and protected the important people.    

    

Almost all of the people present were important figures of the Left Military Court.    

    

Whether it was Lu Yu or Wang Muzhi, if an accident occurred, it would cause chaos in the entire Left Military Court.    

    

As such, the generals in charge of guarding Western Liang were extremely nervous, and they had placed extremely tight security around the area.    

    

However, he had never imagined that it would be a dancer taking action.    

    

"All of you, stop. Disperse." Lu Yu waved his hand.    

    

This dancer did not have the slightest bit of killing intent.    

    

Furthermore, Lu Yu could tell that this dancer's magic power was extremely weak. She wasn't the kind of person who could carry out assassination missions.    

    

Among the officials present, even the weakest one had the cultivation level of the second step. In comparison, this dancer couldn't even withstand a single blow.    

    

One of the guards said, "Commander, this person is very likely to be an assassin. We must not let her go now. We must capture her and interrogate her in detail."    

    

Wang Muzhi slammed the table and said in a deep voice: "Didn't you hear what the commander said? If I tell you to go down then go down, there's no need for so much nonsense "    

    

"Yes!"    

    

Only then did the guards leave.    

    

Lu Yu frowned slightly.    

    

No matter if it was the officials or the guards, they would dare to contradict what he said here.    

    

However, when Wang Muzhi spoke, those people immediately shut their mouths and listened obediently.    

    

As an old official, Wang Muzhi naturally wouldn't speak without reason.    

    

This was to show Lu Yu that the entire Zuo army was under Wang Muzhi's control. Since Lu Yu had just arrived, it was better not to be arrogant.    

    

Lu Yu saw everything, but he didn't say anything.    

    

"Everyone, this has nothing to do with us. You lowly servant, quickly come back with me!"    

    

A middle-aged man hurriedly ran in from the back of the room, his forehead covered in sweat.    

    

He was the shopkeeper of the Spring River Brothel. When he saw that the dancer had made a mistake, he could not help but feel a chill run down his spine. He wished he could tear the dancer into pieces.    

    

Everyone present was a big shot of the Left Military Court. He couldn't afford to offend them.    

    

When he thought of this, the shopkeeper's heart was filled with panic. He hurriedly grabbed the dancer and was about to take her away.
