Chapter 929: Envious Harvest
Chapter 929: Envious Harvest
The world is a game-like world, but it is also a real world.
The workshops in Luoyang are not just for show; they are aligned with the world.
The items produced in these workshops, aside from some special royal tribute items, are all circulated as goods in the market.
In such a situation, even the royal workshops in Luoyang would be unveiled by the extraordinary Prince Consort.
Many people are well aware of the technical personnel in these workshops, especially their 'neighbor' Wei Jun.
He clearly knows that at this moment, the technical personnel under Lu Haikong are being controlled.
"As far as I know, this workshop has at least three master-level technical personnel and over ten elite technical personnel in various fields. You want to take them all away; this behavior is a bit too much, isn't it?"
Wei Jun's words caused the gathered extraordinary Prince Consorts to pause, their faces turning somber.
Although they were all aware that this workshop had numerous technical talents and high-level ones at that, they hadn't expected it to reach this extent.
It's common knowledge that master-level existences are still rare across the entire realm, and yet here, there are three of them.
In fact, these extraordinary Prince Consorts were hesitant when they stopped Lu Haikong's people, and they wouldn't have hesitated. But now that they know, they find it hard to let go.
Wei Jun looked around at the gathered Prince Consorts, a cold smile on his lips.
In truth, these extraordinary Prince Consorts were largely brought here by him. As the Chancellor of Silizhou, Wei Jun also has a strong foundation in Luoyang. He had long sent people to keep an eye on this workshop, and when Lu Haikong made his move, he received the news.
Upon receiving the news, Wei Jun was naturally unwilling, but he had no choice. In desperation, he could only bring these extraordinary Prince Consorts along.
Now that the people had arrived, there was only one thing left for him to do—create a scene, so he could seize the opportunity. Lu Haikong might be powerful, but with two or three dozen extraordinary Prince Consorts here, Lu Haikong wouldn't dare to offend them, would he?
"Oh, I just realized that Lu Haikong's two cavalry units are truly exceptional. Look at them; not only is their equipment excellent, but after a major battle, their armor remains unscathed, unlike that group of 'rabble' at the Luoyang City Gate, who suffered heavy casualties."
Wei Jun's gaze flickered, pointing at Lu Haikong's two cavalry units facing off against the gathered Prince Consorts. His smile was filled with ridicule, biting down on the words 'rabble' with a mix of sarcasm and disdain. The gathered extraordinary Prince Consorts' faces turned sour upon hearing those words.
No one was a fool; everyone could see at a glance that Lu Haikong's [Iron Blood] and [Golden] cavalry units hadn't experienced battle. It was clear that Lu Haikong had protected his troops during the fight and only let them out to collect spoils of war after the battle ended.
This itself was already a distasteful matter, but what resonated with these extraordinary Prince Consorts was the heavy casualties suffered by the 'rabble' at the Luoyang City Gate. In this situation, Wei Jun's words carried great incitement.
It was evident that as these extraordinary Prince Consorts watched Lu Haikong's legions, their gazes turned cold.
Wei Jun, upon seeing this, smiled even more intensely. "Although we know that Lu Haikong is powerful, that he can fight, but his actions are hard to convince us of."
"When there's danger in battle, it's understandable if his own troops retreat first. Although it's unethical, we can understand. But after we've all contributed, and with heavy casualties suffered by our elite troops, we've finally taken over this Luoyang City.
Now that our efforts are finally bearing fruit, he Lu Haikong takes a big bite out of the cake, devouring the best and most delicious parts. Yet, he leaves us, who have contributed so much, with the leftovers and scraps. This is a bit too much, isn't it?"
This group of extraordinary Prince Consorts weren't fools either. At a glance, they realized Wei Jun wanted to stir up trouble for Lu Haikong. They were all too happy to play along, after all, someone was willing to take the lead, and they didn't mind watching from the sidelines for any good opportunities.
(End of Chapter 1)
"Come on, let's hear from Lu HaiKong. He should give us an explanation."
"Regardless, these talented individuals Lu HaiKong definitely can't keep to himself. We must distribute them fairly."
"As for Luoyang, we worked hard to conquer it. These talented individuals should also be divided fairly."
The strange lords stared at the talented individuals, their scouting skills all activated, as they witnessed the levels and attributes of the talented individuals. Their eyes lit up with intense desire.
The benefits were indeed enticing, and regardless of the opponent, their minds were now focused on Lu HaiKong.
"Don't forget, here we don't have Lu HaiKong's figure, and he's definitely in the Luoyang Imperial Palace. What do you think he could harvest there? An artifact or a national treasure? No matter what, it's a huge harvest, but do you think it's something Lu HaiKong should get? Is there something inside that he shouldn't get?" One of the strange lords spoke with a sinister tone.
The atmosphere completely changed, as each strange lord transformed into a hungry wolf, eager to take a bite out of Lu HaiKong.
Wei Jun watched this scene with a slight smirk, knowing it was almost time. He had incited enough, and now it was time to get down to business.
"Let's hear from Lu HaiKong!"
In the first book, there's no mistake, he wouldn't dare to challenge me."
Facing Wei Jun's provocation, [Iron Blood] and [Golden Saber] remained unmoved, not even glancing at him.
Wei Jun didn't mind, instead, he turned to the strange lords with a smile, "Lu HaiKong, he must be scared and doesn't dare to come out, right?"
Almost as soon as he finished speaking, a domineering aura rose, causing everyone's faces to change, and they turned to look behind them.
After a while, they saw Lu HaiKong pulling a girl holding a long red sword.
Seeing Lu HaiKong approach, Wei Jun was surprised by his aura, but his lips still curled into a cold smile. He directly faced Lu HaiKong's aura.
In his opinion, Lu HaiKong was just a paper tiger, only capable of scaring people. He didn't believe Lu HaiKong could do anything to him.
After all, Lu HaiKong, although he hadn't killed anyone in the Alliance, was known for his domineering aura.
"What's the matter?" asked Wei Jun, standing before Lu HaiKong with a domineering aura.
"Alliance Leader, without our forces, you couldn't conquer Luoyang. Now that we've finally entered Luoyang, we should share the benefits together. You see your behavior, the biggest cake in Luoyang, you're eating it all by yourself. It's too big for you to eat alone, you might choke. I suggest you divide it, otherwise, we won't agree." Lu HaiKong's face showed a mocking smile, as he spoke.
Hearing this, Lu HaiKong didn't say anything, but he withdrew his aura, and his left hand slowly rose, as he said, "I'll give you a chance to reorganize your words."
Wei Jun's eyes narrowed at Lu HaiKong's attitude, which was indeed extraordinary.
"Reorganize words? What's there to reorganize..."
"Slap!"
Before Wei Jun could finish his sentence, a loud slap echoed...
