Postscript: I have recorded events in the Three Kingdoms, and the meaning behind them cannot be discerned by anyone but a wise person.
"Lu Fengxian, are you willing to recognize me as your master?"
This question came too directly, and Lu Bu's body visibly stiffened. It was so quiet inside and outside the pavilion that one could hear the sound of fish jumping into the water.
Guo Jia was still staring at the chessboard, as if he had no interest in this conversation. However, Xu Chu had quietly moved his steps and blocked the courtyard door.
Beads of sweat broke out on Lu Bu's forehead. Recognize the master? How had he, Lu Bu, ever truly surrendered to others? Which one of Ding Yuan and Dong Zhuo did not die in his hands? But the young man drinking tea lazily in front of him made him feel an unprecedented sense of oppression.
"I..." Lu Bu's Adam's apple rolled, and his right hand unconsciously touched the sword.
Tang Feng blew the tea foam without raising his head: "Then, kill him."
"Qiang!"
Zhang Liao, Gao Shun and others immediately drew their swords and protected Lu Bu in the middle. Xu Chu roared angrily, pressing forward like a mountain, but suddenly stopped three steps away - because Lu Bu raised his hand to stop him.
"Wait a minute!" Lu Bu knelt down on one knee and raised his fists above his head, "Lu Bu... Pay homage to the lord!"
This kneeling seemed to have taken away all his strength. Zhang Liao and others were stunned, and the weapons in their hands fell to the ground with a clang.
Tang Feng then raised his eyes and took a sip of tea slowly: "Okay, now that I have recognized my master, I will make you the commander of the right guard, at the same level as Xu Chu."
He seemed to be talking to himself, but his voice was just enough for everyone to hear: "Lu Bu is indeed not suitable for the position of prefect. He is more suitable for the position of guard commander."
"Xu Chu looks stupid, but he is indeed stupid; you look smart, but you are really stupid."
