Chapter 32: Rainy
The next day, Taizhong Doctor's Mansion.
I don't know why, there has been a light rain in the sky today, ticking, and the air is full of damp and rotten smells.
But Duan Cheng in the room was obviously in a good mood, he carefully looked at the three princes in front of him, the corners of his mouth were always full of smiles, as a delicate old man, he was ready to return to that position early.
Captain's position! This is a position below one person and above tens of millions.
Six years ago, I finally reached that position, but I had a serious illness! Also because of this serious illness, he was deposed and became a lieutenant instead!
How ridiculous! How ridiculous! The dignified third duke became an official with a rank of 2,000 stones!
Now, though, it's all back, and everything that's been lost is back.
He looked at a letter on the table, sent by Captain Karasuma Natsuyu.
This kid who has followed him for many years has witnessed himself step by step to the point of this extremely human minister.
Nine years ago, he took this Xia Yu, led more than 10,000 soldiers, carried 15 days of grain and grass, went straight from Pengyang to Gaoping, and fought with the first zero species in Fengyi Mountain, beheaded more than 8,000 levels, and obtained 280,000 cattle, horses and sheep.
Eight years ago, he asked Xia Yu to lead 5,000 people to guard Fanting Mountain, and he led people to cover the Qiang people, and killed 19,000 people under his commander in a war.
Seven years ago, he returned to Luoyang with more than 50,000 Qin and Hu infantry cavalry, sweat and blood, and more than 10,000 prisoners, and used these to exchange for the position of Henan Yin.
During those years, he tasted the hardships of marching and fighting, with calluses under his feet, and often ate raw meat, sometimes even tree bark!
In those years, he hadn't slept well, and he was always afraid that if he fell asleep, he wouldn't wake up.
Now, he sits in a mansion, has countless beautiful women in his family, eats all the delicacies of the mountains and seas, and can easily face the saint to decide the life and death of the frontier soldiers.
He never wanted to go back to that bloody battlefield again!
Today, Xia Yu, this kid, is now asking himself to go to the book to attack Xianbei?
Brush up on the merits!? Can the brush battle function help him do the three publics! He doesn't need Duan Cheng anymore! Looking at the current imperial court, there are several people who are better than him!
What he needs is silver! It's gold! As long as the money is enough, the old eunuchs in the palace will help them find a way to be promoted.
"Your Excellency, Your Excellency!" A shout from a guard interrupted his thoughts.
"Come in and say." Duan Cheng's voice was very calm.
A man covered in water, dressed in simple iron armor, cautiously opened the door, and then walked a step further, and then stood still.
The rain flowed down his iron armor, and after a while, there was a small water stain in front of the door.
The armor soldier in front of him had followed Duan Cheng since ten years ago, when he was just a small warrior, and he was loyal both in the frontier and in Luoyang.
But Duan Cheng felt that this little soldier was a bit stupid, he didn't know how to enjoy his fortune, and he still regarded this place as a battlefield, patrolling his mansion every day, did anyone in Luoyang City dare to openly attack his mansion?
"Ma Feng, you see it's raining, what are you doing when you're not resting at home? For patrol matters, just find a few and let the little guys do it! ”
Duan Cheng took a towel in his hand, approached the armor soldier, and personally wiped the rain that was still hanging on his face.
"You are from Youzhou, and your parents are not here, if you get sick, won't your parents worry?"
Pu, Ma Feng suddenly knelt down: "The slave has something important to report." ”
Ignoring the rain on Ma Feng's body, Duan Cheng personally pulled Ma Feng up again, and asked kindly, "What's the matter?" ”
Ma Feng paused and continued: "Shang Shutai has just issued an order to confirm the candidate for Tai Lieutenant!" ”
Duan Cheng's old face slowly smiled into a chrysanthemum, I didn't expect the old eunuchs in the palace to be so fast!
It seems that he also needs to prepare the money as soon as possible.
"The new lieutenant, it's Qiao Xuan!"
Duan Cheng staggered two steps, accidentally sat on the ground, and looked at Ma Feng with wide eyes.
"Lord!" Ma Feng was shocked and wanted to step forward to pull up Duan Cheng, but he was afraid that the rain would wet Duan Cheng's clothes.
How so! Duan Cheng was puzzled.
Suddenly, as if he had thought of something, he trembled and pointed to the letter on the table that he had just thought was useless.
"Quick, help me get it, and then prepare for the drive, I want to enter the palace, I want to enter the palace!"
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The new Taiweifu.
It's Qiao Xuan's house.
Different from the hazy weather outside, at this moment, it is full of joy: several people are gathering together, so lively!
Whether it is Liu Kuan, Guangluxun of the clan, Liu Tao of Shangshuling, or Cai Yong, Lu Zhi, or Wang Yun, who is upright and straightforward, after receiving Qiao Xuan's invitation, although he was surprised, he did not refuse.
Qiao Xuan's old face is still very valuable!
Lu Ying sat down and ate silently in a very low-key manner.
That's right, even if Lu Ying was seriously injured and did not recover, she endured the injury and participated.
He traveled nearly thousands of miles day and night, and came to Luoyang to participate in the removal of eunuchs, just for this moment.
As long as he takes advantage of this to get rid of the eunuchs, let these people in front of him appreciate him, and let the world know about himself, then he Lu Ying can be regarded as transcending the shackles of the gate valve.
On that day, he put forward his opinion just to have this opportunity to show his face, Qiao Xuan understood it in his heart, but because Lu Ying was injured to save his son after all, he also acquiesced to this matter.
And Cao Cao and most of the people present know each other, if he also appears in this banquet this time, it will undoubtedly attract some of the attention of the past.
Therefore, Cao Cao is the beauty of an adult: take the initiative to take over the task of sending letters to the Yuan family, the Yuan family is the head of the party in the world, and it is naturally good to be able to show his face in front of Yuan Shame and participate in this major event of removing eunuchs.
Qiao Xuan brought Cao Cao here that day, with the intention of promoting Cao Cao.
Lu Ying could understand what Qiao Xuan meant, and he could also understand what Cao Cao meant, so he didn't hesitate to take the letter to Cao Cao at that time.
The banquet was very lively, everyone pushed the glass and changed the lamp, and Lu Ying also began to secretly look at everyone on the field.
Liu Kuan is an elderly man over 50 years old, kind and kind-eyed, although he is the most senior present, but he is kind and temperamental, and no one will say anything against him;
Liu Tao is tall and big, with a little stubble on his face, unkempt, and sits in the banquet most casually;
Cai Yong and Lu Zhi seemed to be very familiar, and kept whispering to each other, and in just a while, the two had exchanged more than a dozen cups, and Lu Zhi's face was even flushed;
Wang Yun sat there meticulously, even his clothes were unwrinkled, neat, and every time he drank, he was very serious, and he never spilled a drop of wine.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I invite you here today for a reason!" Qiao Xuan watched the wine go through three rounds and opened his mouth to speak.
When everyone heard this, they all looked up at Qiao Xuan.
Lu Ying also smiled slightly, knowing in her heart that the main drama was finally about to start.
