Chapter 572: Using the Lucky Charm
Chapter 572: Using the Lucky Charm
September 25, 2017
Jiuzhou, at a certain estate's grand hall.
A handsome young man sat at the head of the hall, resembling Lu HaiKong in appearance.
Though his long robe seemed simple, the intricate details exuded nobility, and his every gesture and movement radiated an air of prestige, clearly indicating a person of high status.
Seated below him was a middle-aged scholar, whose most striking feature was his eyes, deep and bright, seemingly harboring great wisdom.
Since the Battle of Guangping, they had been waiting in this hall for the outcome of the battle.
"Lord, someone has delivered this letter to the mansion!"
As a guard entered, he handed over a letter to the handsome young man. The scholar and the young man's eyes lit up.
"It's finally here!"
The handsome youth smiled lightly, took the letter from the guard, dismissed the soldier with a wave, and then began to read it.
The letter was three pages long, and its content was none other than the intelligence report from the Battle of Guangping. The report focused on describing the situation of the Great Han army, as well as the strength and performance of Lu HaiKong, who had suddenly intervened. There wasn't much information about the Yellow Turban Army, though.
It seemed that the writer of this letter knew that the reader was already well-informed about the internal affairs of the Yellow Turbans.
The handsome youth carefully read the letter, paying particular attention to the part about Lu HaiKong's appearance, which he read twice, and then confirmed the outcome of the battle.
After reading, the youth's eyebrows furrowed slightly, and he handed the letter to the scholar beside him.
"The Yellow Turban Army indeed has a grand plan. If it weren't for Lu HaiKong's sudden intervention, Huangfu Song's army of over 200,000 might have faced great difficulty." The scholar sighed after reading the letter.
"That's true. In fact, the Yellow Turban Army was not unprepared for Lu HaiKong. Zhang Liang even personally attempted to behead Lu HaiKong, but he never expected Lu HaiKong's strength to be so formidable. In the end, Zhang Liang, who had unleashed his ultimate technique, was killed by Lu HaiKong."
"Such formidable strength, dominating the battlefield and sweeping away all opposition, truly inspires admiration and envy." The handsome youth sighed.
Hearing this, the scholar's eyebrows furrowed slightly, "Lord, the way of killing and warfare on the battlefield is a minor path. Your status is noble, and you are not from the lower ranks of Lu HaiKong's bandit background. Why do you need to personally take the field? You only need to master the grand strategy, and the battles on the battlefield can be handled by your subordinates."
The scholar, feeling like a teacher to the young man, unconsciously began to lecture. After speaking, he suddenly realized that his identity had changed; he was not only the teacher of this youth but also the master of his subjects. He couldn't help but feel slightly embarrassed.
"Rest assured, sir, I am well aware of this."
The handsome youth was not at all embarrassed. Smiling, he assured the scholar, whom he still respected as both a teacher and a friend.
"Each profession has its specialization, and your talent does not lie in the way of killing and warfare."
The scholar awkwardly nodded. How to put it, the young man before him was indeed too good at pretending.
He had been surprised by his exceptional talent, yet within the family, he had pretended to be mediocre. Even the teacher they had specifically invited through family connections was only recently discovering the true identity of this seemingly ordinary young master.
It was just that the time was a little too short, and he couldn't quite shake off his previous habits.
The handsome youth noticed the middle-aged man's embarrassment and smiled, changing the topic, "You've read the letter too, sir. What do you think we should do about the current situation?"
"My lord, the situation is turbulent and unpredictable. It's best we don't get involved. I suggest we wait and see how things unfold," the scholar replied.
"Wait and see?"
The handsome youth smiled calmly, "Then let's wait and see for now."
...
Lu HaiKong wasn't aware that in Jiuzhou, there were others paying close attention to the Yellow Turban Rebellion.
From the start, he knew this world wasn't as simple as he had imagined.
Or to be more precise, the world's 'Yi Ren' were not as straightforward as he had thought.
Lu HaiKong didn't know how many 'Yi Ren' there were in this world, but he was certain that there were no shortage of talented individuals among them.
It was impossible for him to be the only one at the top.
Lu HaiKong could see this from Ye Junru's influence and Zhao Yue'er's martial prowess.
Therefore, if an 'Yi Ren's power were to suddenly join the battlefield of the Yellow Turban Rebellion, Lu HaiKong wouldn't be too surprised, nor would he be overly hostile.
...
If someone were willing to step onto the stage and perform, Lu HaiKong would be even happier.
Currently, on this stage, Lu HaiKong was the most dazzling, but sometimes, being in the spotlight wasn't necessarily a good thing. You never knew what kind of audience was watching from below.
In this situation, having one more person dancing and sharing the audience's attention was not a bad thing for Lu HaiKong.
However, based on the current circumstances, that guy probably didn't have any intention of stepping out to perform with Lu HaiKong.
At this moment, after opening a Legendary Golden Chest, Lu HaiKong took out a Lucky Charm he had obtained from opening a Legendary Chest.
Lu HaiKong was increasingly convinced of the existence of luck. Especially after obtaining the Phoenix Tear, this belief was even stronger.
Currently, Lu HaiKong had one Mythical Rank chest left, and he hadn't claimed the random reward from his martial prowess breakthrough to 90.
Both these feelings were quite dependent on luck. If his luck was good, Lu HaiKong might even obtain another Phoenix Tear. If his luck was bad, he might only get Legendary Rank items from the Mythical Rank chest.
In the past, Lu HaiKong had no means to deal with such a matter of pure luck. But now, Lu HaiKong had some ideas.
When he opened the Legendary Chest earlier, didn't he obtain a Lucky Charm? This item was clearly meant for use at a time like this.
Lu HaiKong took out and used the Lucky Charm directly.
However, using the Lucky Charm left Lu HaiKong a little dazed. The talisman paper burned up immediately, and there was no light or any special sensation; it was as if nothing had happened.
"Just like that, it's done?"
Lu HaiKong touched his head but still opened the Mythical Rank chest and claimed his random reward.
