Chapter 51: New Goals
"Is that so? Do you have a computer with you? ”
"Yes. This thing is very important, and I have been carrying it with me since I left the palace. ”
After speaking, Hua Xing took out the parchment roll from his arms and spread it on the table.
As he said before, the word "Dong Zhuo" is still written on the volume.
"Strange! Didn't it last time it was updated after two or three days? Why hasn't it been more than a week this time? Could it be...... Crashed, right? Lu Pu said with a puzzled expression.
"Crash? Does this thing still freeze? Hearing this, Hua Xing was holding a sheepskin roll and said with a confused face:
"I don't see a place to restart! Alas! This broken computer doesn't come with a manual, so it's really hard to use. If it doesn't update, then we should be like ......"
But as soon as Hua Xing finished saying the word "update", the parchment scroll in his hand suddenly flashed white, and the word "Dong Zhuo" disappeared on the spot.
Seeing that this parchment roll is not updated sooner or later, I want to update it here!
In order not to attract the attention of the restaurant owner, Hua Xing hurriedly covered the sheepskin roll under his arm, and only raised his elbow when the white light on the roll completely disappeared.
As far as the eye could see, the names on the parchment had changed.
When Hua and Lu saw the man's name, they took a cool breath almost at the same time.
Not only did they recognize this person, but they also mentioned it in the chat just now that it was Lu Bu, the god of war who had just been named a first-class general by Liu Xie!
"Actually, it's him? This guy ...... It's not easy to kill! Seeing this, Lu Pu sighed from the bottom of his heart.
"That's right! Compared to Dong Zhuo, Lu Bu is indeed more difficult......" Hua Xing also nodded approvingly.
Lu Bu, whose name is Fengxian, is the first general of the Three Kingdoms.
From the perspective of force alone, even Huaxing, who was born as a special soldier, may not be able to kill the other party in a one-on-one situation.
What's more, there are many capable people around Lu Bu to protect, like Zhang Liao, Gao Shun, Chen Gong, and Hou Cheng, each of which is not a fuel-efficient lamp, and it is not easy to take Lu Bu's life.
Of course, assassination missions are not the same as martial arts competitions, and they don't necessarily have to be above board.
As long as you can secretly take the other party's life, it can be regarded as completing the task.
But in this era, there is neither 98K nor AWM, and if you want to assassinate someone, you usually have to do it at close range.
Jing Ke's assassination of King Qin back then was a living case.
But judging from the current situation, whether it is Huaxing or Lu Pu, it is difficult for these two to get close to Lu Bu.
Huaxing became a wanted criminal for assassinating Dong Zhuo.
Now his portrait is plastered everywhere in Luoyang City, and it is completely self-deceptive to say that Lu Bu and others do not know him.
Although Lu Pu was better and was not wanted by the royal family, because he was too close to Huaxing before, he was also listed in the wanted list by Luoyang Mansion.
As a wanted criminal in the government, it is now troublesome for the two of them to even enter and leave the city, let alone want to get close to Lu Bu.
Therefore, seeing Lu Bu's name, Hua and Lu quickly fell silent.
One frowns, one cheeks, no good solution.
……
finally found Huaxing, Lu Puding would not leave easily, and stayed in the hotel that night.
As soon as it was dawn the next day, he met Huaxing at the entrance of the village.
The two of them were one man and one horse, and they were rushing towards the west.
Three hours later, they crossed Luoshui and arrived at a small village called "Yongning".
Yongning Village, located between Luoyang and Hongnong, has many caravans traveling between the two cities.
Since Hua and Lu didn't dare to appear in Hongnong or Luoyang City openly, they specially came here today to inquire about intelligence.
At the entrance of a tavern in the village, seven or eight wagons full of goods were parked, apparently with caravans resting in them.
Seeing this, Lu Pu pulled Huaxing and walked into the tavern quickly.
The tavern is not small, with about a dozen tables, and it is full of diners at the moment.
After scanning the situation in the hall, Lu Pu did not rush to take a seat, but walked to the counter, took out a silver ingot and put it on the table, and asked the boss in a low voice:
"I want to find someone to inquire about the news about Luoyang and Hongnong. Who knows best? ”
Normally, a tavern owner would not give out information about a customer.
But seeing that this person made a generous move, the boss quickly showed a smile.
As he put the silver in his arms, he pointed to a young man sitting alone in the corner and said:
"Mi Zheng, a person from Xuzhou. Running between Luoyang and Hongnong all the year round, he is the most well-informed. ”
After thanking the boss, Lu Pu asked for another pot of good wine and a few cold dishes. Together with Huaxing, he walked straight to Mi Zheng with wine and food.
"I'm sorry, but there are no empty tables in the store. This brother doesn't mind if the two of us sit down, right? ”
Mi Zheng was about twenty-five or six, wearing a green robe, with a delicate face and a square bun on his head, and he looked like a cultural person.
Seeing that someone was talking to him, he first looked up at Lu Pu, and then at Hua Xing on the side, with a slight hesitation on his face. But soon he smiled slightly, nodded and replied:
"Two of you, please, don't get in the way, don't get in the way."
Lu and Hua immediately thanked them, and sat on Mi Zheng's left and right one by one.
"This is our store's special rice wine, would you like a cup of this little brother?" After filling the wine glasses for himself and Huaxing, Lu Pu asked politely.
Hearing this, Mi Zheng immediately raised the empty cup and replied with a smile:
"Lord Lu personally poured the wine for him, how can Mi have a reason to refuse?"
After Lu Pu took his seat, he did not introduce himself, but as soon as the other party opened his mouth, he said his surname, obviously knowing himself. Lu Pu no longer concealed it, nodded and asked:
"Brother Mi knows each other?"
"Hehe, Lord Lu is a legend in Luoyang's business community, and he became the richest man in Luoyang in five years after his debut! As a frequent merchant in Luoyang, it would be strange if I didn't know you! ”
After replying with a smile, I saw Mi Zheng set his eyes on Huaxing who was sitting on the side again:
"This one looks familiar, too...... Oops! I remember! So, are the rumors true? Lord Lu really made peace with Hua and Hua...... Adults together, huh? ”
Seeing that the other party not only knew himself, but even Huaxing knew it, Lu Pu was quite surprised.
But if you think about it carefully, since this person often goes in and out of Luoyang, he must have seen Huaxing's portrait, and it is normal to know Huaxing.
"Hehe, we're just walking together, Brother Mi doesn't have to care."
Now that the other party has recognized the two of them, Lu Pu no longer goes around in circles, and directly states their purpose:
"By the way, I heard that the little brother often travels back and forth between Luoyang and Hongnong, I wonder if you can tell us about the situation in the two places?"
"Of course!"
Mi Zheng nodded without hesitation, but soon showed a smile like a wealth fan:
"But...... Lord Lu shouldn't let Xiao Bai speak, right? Hey. ”
"Of course, this is a gratuity, you take it first." As he spoke, Lu Pu took out two taels of silver and put them on the table.
"Normally, that's enough. But...... Due to the special status of the two of them...... Mi Zheng said greedily:
"Hehe, shouldn't Lord Lu add a little more?"
