Join the Great Wall Guard

Chapter 139

"Lu Yu, I like you very much."

Although Wu Zetian's words aroused Lu Yu's daydream, but that charming smile made him feel a sense of danger.

In particular, Wu Zetian gently supported his chin with his index finger. This passive feeling made Lu Yu a little uncomfortable.

The most important thing is that he is not interested in an overly strong woman like Wu Zetian.

"Your Majesty, I'm still a child, so I can't do that."

Moving his chin deftly away from Wu Zetian's index finger, Lu Yu said with a serious face.

"Hmph, I just appreciate your strength, what are you thinking?"

Wu Zetian's expression did not change, as if she didn't care at all, she still stared at Lu Yu tightly with a pair of winking eyes.

"Lu Yu, take me as the Lord, and I will not treat you badly."

Those charming but dangerous eyes were like roses with thorns, as if as long as Lu Yu said "no", he would immediately make him look good.

And Lu Yu also understood that Wu Zetian meant that he wanted to be his subordinate.

For a while, there were discussions among the ministers.

There have always been very few people who can be personally appointed by the empress, except Di Renjie, the magistrate at the beginning, and Li Bai, the sword fairy, and Ming Shiyin, the peony alchemist.

Of course, as long as the strength is recognized by the empress, then it is equivalent to gaining the trust of the empress, and the future official career must be smooth sailing.

Therefore, when everyone heard that Wu Zetian intended to throw an olive branch to Lu Yu, they couldn't help being a little shocked. After all, Lu Yu was too young, even much younger than the unrestrained sword fairy Li Bai back then.

However, when they thought of Lu Yu's impressive record of gaining the approval of the gods and defeating Ming Shiyin, everyone basically didn't dare to say anything sarcastic, but they were still very jealous.

If Lu Yu can gain the respect of the empress at such a young age, in the near future, there will be someone who will be able to overwhelm ministers like them

"Thank you Your Majesty for the gift to Lu Yu!"

When Di Renjie heard that Wu Zetian intended to throw an olive branch to Lu Yu, he couldn't help being overjoyed.I have always felt that a young and powerful person like Lu Yu should use his true power in the right place to benefit the people.

Moreover, after being in contact with Lu Yu for such a period of time, they have developed a friendship-like relationship with each other. If Lu Yu can be promoted to an official career, Di Renjie will naturally help him celebrate.

For a moment, Wu Zetian, Di Renjie, and the ministers in the palace all turned their eyes to Lu Yu, waiting for his answer.

"Ding! The host is about to face two choices: [-]. Accept Wu Zetian's invitation, gain the official position of the empire, and gain Wu Zetian's trust at the same time, but it may affect the next action; [-]. Refuse Wu Zetian's invitation, and you can still act freely in the future , but it may affect Wu Zetian's trust in the host."

As if playing a text adventure, the system actually proposed two choices for itself at this time, which caught Lu Yu by surprise.

However, this choice

Isn't the answer obvious?

"Your Majesty, I, Lu Yu, are just a passing ronin. I don't like restraint."

Lu Yu said with an embarrassed smile rather than a polite one.

Stay in Chang'an as an official?Are you kidding me, I am the man who wants to save the entire Continent of Kings, how could he be abducted by such a small official position?

Then, the entire hall was deathly silent.

Surprised, surprised, and puzzled eyes all came to Lu Yu one after another, almost drowning him.

However, what was more frightening was Wu Zetian's sullen expression.

"Why, do you think I can't give you what you want?"

Her tone became obviously tougher, and her charming eyes also became sharper, Wu Zetian said coldly.

This is the second time after Li Bai that the invitation was rejected.

"Your Majesty, you may not be able to give me what I want."

Lu Yu naturally felt the gradually burning anger in Wu Zetian's pupils, but this would not change his mind.

Before, Lu Yu also heard Gongsunli talk about Wu Zetian's ambition——

Unify the world, conquer the entire Continent of Kings, and all the heroes on the Continent of Kings.

Therefore, this is why Wu Zetian fell into the illusion of Ming Shiyin and couldn't extricate herself, because her obsession with ideals was too deep, and she pursued power and rights too much.

The purpose of wanting to recruit Lu Yu is actually very clear, that is, to hope that Lu Yu can become a great help for her to unify the world.

Unfortunately, Lu Yu is not interested in conquering the world.

"Lu Yu"

Di Renjie kindly reminded, what happened to Lu Yu today, why is he not as smart as before?

The so-called one who knows the current affairs is a hero. Since the empress intends to recruit, then accepting it readily is the result of a win-win situation for both parties.If you insist on going against the pestle, you will not only annoy the empress, but it will also be against the entire empire.

In this way, Lu Yu will fall into a dangerous situation.

"The world is so big, isn't there nothing you want?"

Wu Zetian's black eyebrows were tightly frowned, and she stared at Lu Yu condescendingly. The powerful magic power fluctuated all over her body, as if she wanted to make Lu Yu admire him.

"Although the world is big, it's not what I want. It's you, Your Majesty, who are obsessed with power and yearn for unlimited rights. That's why you are trapped by Ming Shiyin's illusion."

Lu Yu was not even afraid of Ming Shiyin who became a god, let alone Wu Zetian.

Although judging from the data given by the system, except for physical attack and physical defense, Wu Zetian's various attributes are much higher than Lu Yu's, but he is a mage after all.

However, what Lu Yu said not only exposed Wu Zetian's background, but also denied her obsession by the way.

"Why, do you want to say that my ideal is wrong?!"

Coldly shouted, Wu Zetian's face became almost gloomy.

One's own ideals have never been open to comment, and no matter who they are, they are not allowed to raise objections.

However, Lu Yu, who met for the first time, raised objections so boldly, which made Wu Zetian surprised and angry.

"Your Majesty, do you want to deny that Chang'an City was almost destroyed, and that your so-called ideal is also responsible?"

Lu Yu was not afraid of Wu Zetian's power. From the very beginning, he had prepared for the time when the two would confront each other.

The two forces collided together, and the glorious palace began to tremble, and the surrounding ministers turned into birds and beasts, fleeing towards the outside of the palace.

"Lu Yu, Your Majesty!"

Seeing that the two were not speculative, they turned tit-for-tat. Di Renjie wanted to persuade him, but he couldn't pass through the powerful force field.
