Chapter 333 Gao Jianli, the amazing Lu Gong!

At this time, Lü Gong slowly walked into the main hall. A man in a long robe who had been waiting there for a long time came forward and asked Lü Gong impatiently, "Lü Gong, how is the situation going?" If Gao Yao was present at this moment, he would definitely recognize who this man was at the first sight. This man was the killer who suddenly appeared like a ghost when killing Yi Xiaochuan - Gao Jianli!

Gao Jianli is a famous musician on the surface, but secretly he is a hidden assassin. More importantly, he has always been loyal to the mysterious Yi Xiaochuan and can be regarded as one of the core figures among the many special talents trained by him. The entire southern border targeting Gao Yao and most of Gao Yao's affairs were basically planned by Gao Jianli.

In addition to the condition of the King of Yue, the plot of Lu Gong has been prepared for a long time. The plans of Xiao He, Cao Shen and others are just a cover. From being unknown to holding power now, it is very difficult to persuade such a person with the conditions offered by the Qin Dynasty, which is about to decline. Gao Jianli then mysteriously asked Yi Xiaochuan, and the hidden people under him found out all the news about Lu Gong's past.

This naturally included the fact that Lu Gong was rescued by Gao Yao, Lu Gong turned against Gao Yao and was even imprisoned because of Gao Yao, and finally he had to be dragged to the southern border by Gao Yao. All these things were investigated clearly.

When they arrived in the southern border, the treatment that Lü Gong received was indeed extremely generous. On the one hand, he had a high reputation and talent; on the other hand, he was blessed by his family members such as Lü Zhi and Lü Su, which made his identity and status particularly respected and prominent. Although he seemed to be in a prosperous situation on the surface, deep in Lü Gong's heart, he always felt a sense of resentment that he could not let go.

Especially when the four elders from Shangshan came to the southern border, the situation changed subtly. Gao Yao gave these four respected elders extraordinary preferential treatment, not only providing the best living conditions, but also specially opened a college for them in Nanhai City. There is no doubt that this move is undoubtedly beneficial to the education cause and even the overall development of the southern border. But from Lu Gong's point of view, this matter brought him a great shock.

Lü Gong, who had always been highly regarded, gradually felt that he was no longer as highly regarded as before. More importantly, Gao Yao did not allow him to open a school to teach students alone, but asked him to join the academy led by the Four Haos of Shangshan and share the teaching tasks with them. Although such an arrangement is also a way to participate in educational work, within the academy, the Four Haos of Shangshan are truly dignified deans with absolute authority and decision-making power; in contrast, Lü Gong can only serve as an ordinary teacher there. How could such an obvious gap not make Lü Gong dissatisfied?

The reason why the most critical factor focused on Lü Gong was actually because Gao Yao's surveillance of Lü Gong came to an abrupt end. This undoubtedly became the biggest flaw and omission in the entire situation. Based on such a crucial premise, the next issue that needs to be considered is what strategies and means should be adopted to induce Lü Gong to betray Gao Yao.

The assassination attempt initiated by the mysterious Yi Xiaochuan seemed to be all-round and without any rules at first glance, but a closer look revealed the clues - those who died were all the direct superiors of some officials who had close ties with Lu Gong. As a result, when these people passed away one after another, the people who took over their positions naturally became people who had close personal ties with Lu Gong.

This seemingly meaningless and chaotic assassination incident actually made the group that Lu Gong was in now quietly control one-fifth of the power hub in Nanhai City without knowing it! It must be said that this was already a considerable part of the power.

"I have already arranged for people to guard the area around our mansion tightly. Anyone who attempts to leave without permission will be strictly controlled and restricted. My words can fully represent Lu Zhi's voice and position, so please feel free to relax. Moreover, as long as there is any sign of Gao Yao returning to the city, I will be able to obtain relevant intelligence information at the first time. At that time, the ambush will definitely kill Gao Yao without a burial place!"

"Okay, as long as Gao Yao dies, Lu Gong will become the King of Yue, so I won't stay any longer and will leave now..." Gao Jianli listened quietly to Lu Gong's methodical planning of everything. He knew that at this point, what he could do was coming to an end, and what he had to face next was nothing more than the various results of these things developing naturally. So Gao Jianli stood up without hesitation and prepared to leave.

However, just as he was about to make a move, he heard a loud shout: "Wait!" It turned out that it was Lü Gong who suddenly stopped him. At the same time, Lü Gong gently waved his arm, and in an instant, more than 20 servants holding weapons appeared in the courtyard like ghosts. They were well-trained and acted quickly, and in the blink of an eye, they surrounded Gao Jianli.

Facing this sudden change, Gao Jianli showed no fear. He stood firmly, staring at Lu Gong calmly, with a faint smile on his face, as if everything that happened before his eyes was already within his expectations. He asked slowly, "Lu Gong, what is the purpose of this action?"

Lu Gong sneered and responded: "Haha, don't misunderstand me, this matter has not been settled yet. Before it is settled, I think it is better for you to stay for the time being."

Hearing this, Gao Jianli shook his head slightly, his tone still unhurried: "Lü Gong, what benefit can you get from doing this? I'm just a small servant who follows orders. No one cares about my life or death." After saying that, he looked around at the servants who were eyeing him covetously, without any fear in his eyes.

How could Gao Jianli not know what Lu Gong was thinking at this time? It was obvious that Lu Gong wanted to use him as a chess piece to achieve a certain goal. Lu Gong had not yet completely indulged in fame and fortune, and still retained some clarity and rationality. But what Gao Jianli never expected was that Lu Gong would actually choose him as this crucial chess piece. He was just a chess piece, and it was useless to hold him.

I only heard Lu Gong slowly say: "If I am not mistaken, you should be anxious to report to the court that Zhao Tuo was Li Yi who deliberately instigated the rebellion, right?"

When Gao Jianli heard this, his face twitched slightly, and his originally calm eyes suddenly became solemn, staring closely at Lu Gong in front of him. Before this, the mysterious Yi Xiaochuan had solemnly warned Gao Jianli not to underestimate Lu Gong. It was not until this moment that Gao Jianli suddenly realized and truly realized Lu Gong's unfathomable and deep mind.

Looking back to the past, after Liu Bang ascended the throne, he had actually already given up the idea of ​​enthroning Lü Zhi as the empress. However, because the Lü family had devoted all their efforts and made great contributions in the long journey of competing for the world, Liu Bang finally made the decision to enthronize Lü Zhi as the empress out of consideration for their relationship.

This contribution was not just about Lü Zhi being abducted and abandoned by the enemy several times. In fact, Lü Gong, relying on his powerful influence, worked tirelessly to recruit talents from all over the world for Liu Bang and actively gathered a large amount of funds. It is no exaggeration to say that his contribution was outstanding. What is even more commendable is that Lü Gong himself never competed for fame and fortune, and always silently contributed his strength to Liu Bang's conquest of the world. Such a selfless person made Liu Bang feel quite difficult. Because facing such a pure and unrewarding person, if you are not careful, you may end up being called ungrateful.

Lu Gong in this world is naturally not a dull person. He has a reason to dislike Gao Yao. When Gao Yao appeared in front of Lu Gong and saved Lu Gong, he was a county soldier of Daqin. In contrast, when the original Yi Xiaochuan first appeared, he was presented as a chivalrous man. It is precisely because of these two completely different identities and backgrounds that Lu Gong's attitude towards the two of them must be very different from the beginning.

Speaking of Yi Xiaochuan and Gao Yao, in terms of appearance, beauty, and conversation, Yi Xiaochuan is superior in all aspects. Because of this, Lu Gong naturally likes Yi Xiaochuan, but as for Gao Yao, he feels ordinary, and even thinks that he is a person who wants to repay a favor.

This was also determined by Gao Yao's identity as a Qin soldier. However, what Lu Gong had never expected was that Gao Yao's mind was so deep and unpredictable, and his schemes were so ingenious that it was hard to guard against. In the end, Lu Gong unfortunately fell into the trap carefully designed by Gao Yao and was thrown into prison. At that time, the Qin Dynasty was in power, and even if Lu Gong had the ability to know everything, he could not do anything. After that, Lu Gong wandered all the way and followed Gao Yao to the southern border. Here, Lu Gong could not exert his influence and had to accept the reality silently. This does not mean that Lu Gong is a dull and ignorant person.

"Lü Gong, we are now in a cooperative relationship. Is this behavior..."

At this time, Gao Jianli also frowned slightly. Lu Gong's words hit the nail on the head. Although he didn't quite understand what Gao Yao's purpose was, there was no doubt that there must be a trap behind this and the news must have been spread. But Lu Gong was not going to let him off easily.
