Chapter 8: The Love of the Two Ribs
In the past few days, Su and Zhang have lived in Lu Mansion, and Lu Ying intends to marry the two, and after Su and Shuang have seen Lu Bu a few days ago, they decided to personally accompany Lu Bu when they trade the title deed today.
And Lu Ying finally waited for the person he was waiting for: a middle-aged man wearing a black robe, his hair was meticulous, and his eyes were shining, as if he had seen through everything, stood in front of the door of Lu Mansion.
"Please help me give this greeting sticker to your master," the middle-aged man pulled out a greeting sticker from his sleeve.
Dai County is only a remote and small place in the state, and it is the worship post is generally something that only large families use, Lu Mansion has not been able to present the worship post for a long time, and the gatekeeper did not dare to be careless, and quickly sent the worship post to Lu Ying.
However, when Lu Ying saw the signature on the post: Jia Xu, she couldn't hold it back, her heart was shaken, and she asked people to sort out her clothes and go out to greet her in person.
"I don't know if it's Jia Wenhe who came here in person" Lu Ying smiled and clenched his fists in front of Jia Xu.
Jia Xu on the other side was also very surprised, he came here alone, that is, he did not identify himself, and he did not write his own words on the name post, he wanted to take a cloth to see who this Lu Ying was, but he never thought that he would be broken by the man in front of him, and he thought in his heart that this Lu Ying is not a simple person.
Immediately, he did not continue to hide, and returned the salute with both hands: "In Xia Jia Xu, I was ordered by Uncle Fang to come to solve the king's difficulty." ”
"I didn't expect it to be Wen He coming in person, please move into the house to talk in detail"
Jia Xu smiled: "With what Lu Jun presented, it is not an exaggeration for Uncle Fang to come here in person. Then they went together into the house.
The two entered the hall and sat down as the guest of honor. "Why don't you see the friend who asked to see Uncle Fang for me this time?" Lu Ying asked Jia Xu.
A few days ago, Lu Ying gave Li Zhong the task of bringing something to Dong Zhuo, the assassin of Bingzhou at that time, and after explaining the situation to him, he asked Dong Zhuo to send someone to help.
But why is a department-level cadre willing to take care of such a trivial matter in such a remote place? The answer is very simple, Lu Ying gave Dong Zhuo something that he couldn't refuse---- horseshoes.
Although Dong Zhuo's later actions are strange, unlike those with normal IQ, Dong Zhuo can really be regarded as a person with great ambitions at this time, he relied on the landlord's strong background and rich assets when he was young, and interacted with the chiefs of the Qiang tribes, whenever the Qiang people came to the house as a guest, he would kill cattle and slaughter sheep to entertain the Qiang people, so as to obtain the support and support of the Qiang people.
Moreover, Dong Zhuo himself is not only physically strong and powerful, but also proficient in martial arts, riding on a horse, and can carry two bows and arrows to gallop left and right. In this way, with his extraordinary talents, Dong Zhuo continued to win over and merge other forces to consolidate and expand his power.
Also because most of the Qiang people were afraid of Dong Zhuo, the imperial court specially recruited Dong Zhuo from Zhonglang to recruit Zhang Huan to conquer the Qiang people who rebelled in the state, and through this battle, Dong Zhuo knew the importance of cavalry.
Of course, Dong Zhuo also discovered the problems often caused by cavalry: the hooves of war horses are often corroded by stagnant water because of ground contact, and they will fall off quickly, and the horseshoe that Lu Ying asked Li Zhong to bring not only delays the wear and tear of the horse's hooves, but also makes the horse's hooves grasp the ground more firmly, which is very beneficial to riding and driving, which is a cross-century product! This is something that Dong Zhuo can't refuse.
What's more, Dong Zhuo once served as the county magistrate of Dai County, and Lu Ying visited his father once when he was a child.
Could it be that Dong Zhuo blackened in advance? Or is IQ degraded early?
Jia Xu sighed: "On that day, after Fang Bo heard the effect of the horseshoe, he was skeptical, and quickly arranged for someone to nail the horse's hooves to the horse's hooves with the words of Li Zhong, a gentleman, and observed it for another day. Who knows what Li Zhong said that Lu Jun is in danger, and he can't wait for a long time, and he is tattooed to Mingzhi, I read that Li Zhongzhong is a loyal and brave man, and I personally ask Uncle Fang to go first."
When Lu Ying heard Jia Xu's words, she couldn't speak for a long time.
He told Lu Bu many allusions before, all of which were from the memories of later generations, although he sometimes spoke passionately, but he really never thought that one day he would really be able to sacrifice his life to die.
And Li Zhong, facing a reward of 100 gold, was unwavering, and for his safety, he even used a sword to clear his will.
Lu Ying is the first time in the world to feel the kind of loyalty of people in this era.
After a long time, Lu Ying asked in a choked voice: "I have known Li Zhong for only a few days, and today Li Zhong sacrificed his life to save me, and his feelings for me can be described as two ribs and knives!" Wenhe, I don't know what Li Zhong's current situation is? ”
"A good 'two-ribbed knife', used for Li Zixiao, but it is also timely and appropriate, I think this matter will be able to become a model for my generation of loyal and righteous people to learn" Jia Xu sighed, then shook his head first, nodded and replied: "At that time, it was above the banquet of Uncle Fang, there were no weapons around, Li Zixiao just stabbed himself with a knife that cut meat on the table, but he lost too much blood, and at present, Uncle Fang has sent someone to treat it, whether he is alive or not, it is still two words"
Hearing that Li Zhong was still alive, Lu Ying breathed a sigh of relief, and secretly swore in his heart that at this moment, everything was ready, and he would definitely make Chen Kang pay the price and avenge Li Zixiao's father's murder!
While the two were discussing, there was a commotion outside the door, and it turned out that Lu Bu, Su Shuang, and Zhang Shiping had sold their land and returned.
"Big brother, big brother, the land is sold! 1200 gold, 1200 gold! Lu Bu didn't arrive, but the sound arrived first, which also diluted a little of the sad atmosphere in the living room.
Seeing Lu Bu being so reckless in front of Jia Xu, Lu Ying couldn't help but reprimand: "Didn't you see any distinguished guests here?" I still want to be served by the family law" and then turned back to Jia Xu and said: "Brother Lu Bu is young and abrupt, and he has offended a lot, which makes Brother Wen and Brother laugh." ”
When Jia Xu came, he had already inquired about Lu Ying's daughter's land sale, and when he heard Lu Bu's words, he was really sold, and couldn't help but be shocked, and asked curiously: "But the Lu family's real estate is rumored in the city?" Sold for 1,200 gold? ”
At this time, Su Shuangxiao also followed: "You don't know, the second brother of the Lu family, he is really a business wizard, the two of us met in person, this Lu Bu has never been forced by force, the second has not been forced to lip by lip, and the third has not met the buyer's Zhou family, only a few words, really let this real estate really sell for as much as 1200 gold, business wizards, business wizards!" ”
Jia Xu is not as pedantic as ordinary literati, but extremely smart, hearing Su Shuang say this, he guessed that it must be Lu Ying's plan, and he even looked up to Lu Ying a few points.
Seeing that everyone had arrived, Lu Ying took the initiative to invite Jia Xu: "Wenhe has a long journey, how about having dinner with us?" Today's food hot pot, although Wenhe lives in the Thorn History Mansion, there is no shortage of delicacies from the mountains and seas, but it will also make Wenhe have an endless aftertaste."
Jia Xu was secretly surprised, so he responded to Lu Ying's invitation and responded: "It's better to be respectful than to obey your fate." ”
