Hearing this, several people had different expressions.
Lu Bu took a step forward, clasped his fists and said, "Master Wei, when dealing with such people, we must suppress them with force. Lu is willing to share your worries with you."
Wei Cheng laughed and said: "No rush, no rush, Mr. Lu will just wait and see. I have a better way to keep them obedient and not dare to make mistakes again."
Wei Cheng was worried that the big guy he purchased this time was of no use.
It just so happens that we can organize a military parade to open the eyes of those fleas and save them from jumping around blindly every day.

The scene returns to Donglai, Qingzhou where the waves are crashing on the shore.
Liu Fan and his party have established a temporary stronghold on the seaside, and a huge earth-and-wood fortress has risen from the ground.
This place is dozens of miles away from the nearest county seat, and so far no official has noticed their movements.
This also facilitated the actions of Liu Fan and his party. In just a few days, they found several suspicious caves.
The highest peak of Laoshan Mountain is more than 1,000 meters high. Standing on the top of the mountain, you can overlook the endless sea and have a panoramic view of the magnificent scenery.
Liu Fan grew up inland, and this was the first time he felt the vastness of the sea.
"When I take the elixir of immortality, I will definitely transfer everything from Yizhou to Wei Zhongdao, and the world will be mine."
This is what Liu Fan has thought about the most these days. He is even ready to dance on Wei Cheng's grave.
The premise of all this is that he can successfully obtain the elixir of life.
Seeing that the water stains left by the sea water on the reef were getting lower and lower day by day, Liu Fan couldn't wait anymore.
"Lord, we found some suspicious patterns in the cave, which may be related to the secret treasure."
Liu Fan heard this and walked into the cave excitedly.
Seeing Yu Niang observing the patterns on the stone wall, Liu Fan's eyes flashed with a hint of vigilance.
"What's going on? Do you have any other findings?" Liu Fan walked up behind Xianniang and asked.
The Nightmare Mother held a roll of silk in her hand and was comparing the pictures and texts on it. After hearing this, she nodded and said: "It is undoubtedly the seal script of the Qin Dynasty, but these pictures and texts were written with animal blood. They have been corroded and worn away over the years.
It’s almost there, you still need to patiently compare it to see what is written.”
Liu Fan nodded slightly and looked at the sergeant behind him, who shook his head.
Seeing this, Liu Fan and Yanniang asked in a deep voice: "Including the words found here, we have discovered more than ten caves in this mountain forest. Isn't there one that can lead there?"
Nightmare Niang paused for a moment, then looked back at Liu Fan and said in a deep tone: "Why, did the eldest master think that the slave family had found the entrance, but deliberately didn't tell you?"
Liu Fan's face was gloomy and uncertain. He looked at Nightmare who was looking at him. He suppressed the impatience in his heart and said in a gentle tone: "Don't get me wrong, Nightmare. I'm impatient. If it can't be done, let's just wait for the sea water to recede.
You can also enter through the underwater entrance.”
Nightmare Niang took a deep look at Liu Fan, nodded and said: "That's all we can do for now. In two days, when the stone door is blown open with a thunderbolt, the eldest son will be able to get what he wants. I only hope that the eldest son can
It’s better to keep your promise.”
Liu Fan laughed and said, "Don't worry, Nightmare, I will definitely not let you down."
Liu Fan walked out of the cave with a smile.
Watching his figure disappear at the entrance of the cave, Nightmare Mother suddenly sneered and looked at the sergeant standing by.
The sergeant's serious expression suddenly changed, he stepped forward and hugged the nightmare mother's waist, and said: "Why don't you let me kill him directly?"
Nightmare Niang snuggled into the sergeant's arms, caressed the sergeant's broad chest, and said coquettishly: "Don't worry, we still have to rely on him to command the soldiers at the moment. It's not appropriate to attack him. When the secret treasure is found, the slave family will all rely on you."
.”
The sergeant nodded slightly and greedily breathed in the special fragrance of Nightmare Mother. His dark cheeks gradually became hot, and his body moved incessantly.
Nightmare Niang giggled, took off her cloak, exposed her fragrant shoulders, and exhaled softly in the sergeant's ear, "Donglang, I'll give it to you right now..."
The sergeant felt numb all over his body, and his whole body was in a state of ecstasy.
···
Just as the cave was filled with fragrance, a black spot in the sky suddenly flew towards the west.
Not long after, the black spot landed in a valley, surrounded by tall trees, and no one could find that there was a team stationed here.
Sima Yi withdrew his ‘eye of heaven’ and looked at Xu Shu who was standing aside.
Xu Shu touched his goatee, shook his head and said: "It seems that this cave is not the same, otherwise Liu Fan would not have left directly."
Sima Yi sighed with some disappointment and said: "It's been a while, I don't know when it will end."
Xu Shu looked at him funny and joked: "Can't wait anymore? You promised to follow me back then."
Sima Yi glanced at him resentfully and muttered: "If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have come with you. It's so boring..."
The two carefully placed the ‘Sky Eye’ into the protective box.
Suddenly, a secret guard hurried over and said, cupping his fists: "Investor Xu, you are right, the sea level is really falling."
Xu Shu was overjoyed when he heard this, and Sima Yi looked at Xu Shu in disbelief, "Isn't it right? You really got it right?"
Xu Shu signaled the secret guard to stand up and speak, and asked in detail about the extent of the drop in sea level.
"According to observations in the past few days, the water has dropped by at least one foot every day, and many of the reefs that were originally submerged in the sea have emerged."
Sima Yi said excitedly: "Great, it seems they are waiting for the sea water to drop, and the so-called entrance must be under the cliff."
Xu Shu nodded slightly and said: "Tomorrow is the fifteenth, so pay attention to their movements then, especially in the early morning and evening."
The secret guard responded with clasped fists, bowed and retreated.
Sima Yi asked curiously: "Why must it be early morning and evening?"
Xu Shu chuckled and said: "I don't know the details, but I have seen a book in Wei Jun's study. There are relevant records in it. It says that the sea water rises and disappears every day, and the high tide occurs at the middle of the day and the middle of the month.
, low tide is at sunrise and sunset.”
When Sima Yi heard this, his admiration for Wei Cheng arose spontaneously, and he sighed secretly: "As expected of the master, he can even grasp the laws of the sea so accurately."
Xu Shu could not help but admire and said: "Yes, Lord Wei is a scholar of heaven and man. Xu Shu may not be able to finish his studies in his lifetime."
···
Luoyang.
On the day before the Lantern Festival, various aristocratic families and officials at all levels suddenly received an invitation letter.
The invitation letter was sent by the Ministry of Rites, stamped with the emperor's seal, and contained only one sentence, ordering them to go to the school grounds in the north of the city tomorrow.
"Military parade?"
"What's the name of this?"
In a luxurious mansion somewhere, several former officials of the former dynasty gathered together, holding invitations in their hands, with heavy and serious expressions.
The leader was none other than Wei Cheng's third uncle, Wei Yi.
"Don't be impatient, please listen to what I have to say."
After hearing this, everyone looked at Wei Yi one after another, wanting to hear what he had to say.
