Lu Bu admitted to his face that he was not as good as Chen Cheng, and after he finished speaking, he actually felt a strange pleasure in his heart.

Chen Cheng stared at Lu Bu for a long time, as if he was making some difficult decision. Lu Bu was inexplicably looked at by him, and he felt a little uncomfortable all over his body, especially the back of his neck, which always felt like a cold snort.

After a long time, Chen Cheng spoke: "Lu Bu, in fact, I was going to kill you before. ”

Lu Bu blurted out: "I knew it was like this!" ”

"But later, you persuaded Gao Shun to surrender and let me get Chang'an smoothly, which can be regarded as a great contribution after surrendering. That's why I didn't kill you. ”

“............”

Chen Cheng continued: "Later, I imprisoned you in Chang'an, but secretly gave an order to Wang Yue, as long as you showed signs of escaping, I would immediately kill you. ”

As soon as Lu Bu thought of the things he had discussed with Han Sui at the beginning, a cold sweat broke out from his back.

"But it's a pity that you have tried many times on the road of death, but you have never taken that last step." When Chen Cheng said this, he smashed his mouth, looking very sorry, "I am the most reasonable, although there are a hundred reasons to kill you, but you committed those things before surrendering." Later, Gao Shun wrote to protect you several times, so I will give you three more chances. ”

Lu Bu muttered something, because it was too vague and low, Chen Cheng didn't hear it clearly, but he didn't care, but said with a serious expression: "For Gao Shun's sake, I'll give you three chances to challenge." Whenever you feel that your martial arts can be better than mistakes, you can come to me to fight alone. If you can kill me, it's your ability. But before defeating me, if you hear that you have behaved out of line, even if I can spare you, military law will not spare you! ”

After listening to this for a while, all of a sudden, Lu Bufu came to his heart and asked, "Do you want me to help you go to war?" ”

Chen Cheng said lightly: "If you are raging today, since you have such martial arts, wouldn't it be a pity to die like this?" ”

Lu Bu glared at the bull's eye, and his voice became louder, "Speaking of which, you still want me to help you fight!" ”

"Why, you don't want to?" Chen Cheng supported his head with his right fist, "It's good to ....... this."

"Yes, I do!" Lu Bu immediately replied: "Only a fool will be unwilling!" ”

"Very good, then you will follow me first, and after the autumn harvest, we will go out to fight together!"

As Chen Cheng spoke, he noticed the subtitle quietly lit up in the lower left corner of his field of vision, "Lu Bu has joined your team." ”

This made him a little surprised, and he had some other ideas. Now there are four people who can have exclusive names in his team, Zhao Yun, Liu Qian, Fa Zheng, Lu Bu, Zhao Zilong and Princess Wannian are still in the good camp, Fa Zheng can only say whether he is a bad person or not, and now there is Lu Bu.......... Could it really be that there are heroes from all factions? Does that mean that there can be up to twenty heroes, as in the case of "Pander's prophecy"?

When Chen Cheng was thinking, Lu Bu was already a little excited, he was eager to fight on the battlefield, eager to shed blood and sacrifice, as long as he didn't bleed himself. He likes power, he likes fine clothes and fine wine, and he likes beautiful beauties, but he only now realizes that fighting in battle is also his preference.

Lu Bu couldn't help but ask, "Who are we going to fight after the autumn harvest?" ”

Chen Cheng came back to his senses and said, "I'll know when the time comes." ”

The aftermath of Shisun Duan's plot to assassinate the general caused a lot of concussions in Guanzhong, and all kinds of gossip flew around secretly. Many people were terrified in their hearts, they only knew that the general was unhappy, so he wiped his sword and slaughtered many important ministers of the court. For this reason, "Chang'an Daily" had to open a new "Romance of the Gods" to divert everyone's attention.

Regarding the incident of the earthquake in the court, "Chang'an Daily" and "Yinchuan Daily" only mentioned it slightly, and then used a large section to introduce what business opportunities were in the territory under the rule of the imperial court, or to introduce the customs of the Western Regions, or to myths and monsters, and so on.

In a word, as if nothing had happened, divert their attention with all kinds of things that the masses of the people like to see. In this kind of public opinion propaganda that whitewashes the peace, the people gradually feel at ease. Anyway, the people who died were all the big people above, and many people were happy when they died. After so many deaths, everyone was overjoyed.

The broad masses of the people are not in the same camp as those scholars, and their interests are different, and they are not at all as angry and corrupt as the big families, so they should do what they should do or continue to do. Now is the time for spring ploughing, and everyone is not interested in being distracted by things in the court from afar.

In Shangshu Province on the left side of Weiyang Palace, Yan Zhong put down today's "Chang'an Daily" and picked up the "Yinchuan Daily" three days ago to look at it, and there was no news about the killing of the imperial court minister. After reading the serials of "Journey to the West" and "Romance of the Gods", Yan Zhong thought about what Chen Cheng said that day, and still felt a little unsafe in his heart, so he decided to find someone to sum it up.

The first person he looked for was Jia Xu, the servant commander in charge of the province under his door, and this is also the only person who can be his equal in official positions now. Although Jia Xu's qualifications are not as good as Yan Zhong's, Menxia Province adheres to the will of the general, and can overwhelm other departments in many cases.

is Yang Qiu, who has always been arrogant, or Xu Chao, who dares to contradict anyone, when facing Jia Xu, many times he only bows his head to the ear. Yan Zhong didn't wait for the soldiers to report, and then broke into the Weiyang Palace. A second lieutenant of the tooth soldier was about to inform Jia Xu when he saw Shang Shuling swaggering in, and he couldn't help but show a look of astonishment.

The province is a place that is in charge of countless secrets, and trespassing is not to be killed. When the second lieutenant was slandering, he couldn't help but think: The lord is too arrogant to the Zhongshu order!

Just when the second lieutenant showed a surprised look on his face, Jia Xu waved his hand and said, "You go down first." ”

"No!"

Yan Zhong sat on the chair next to Jia Xu, looked at the documents, newspapers and other things placed on the table, and said with a smile: "Wen He has been very busy recently. ”

Jia Xu said humbly: "It's not too busy, Zhongshu Ling is here, but is there anything important?" ”

Yan Zhong said: "Wenhe is one of the few smart people in Liangzhou, don't you know what I'm here for?" ”

Jia Xu smiled: "Even if you can guess, then you don't dare to guess, or ask Zhongshu Ling to make it clear." ”

Yan Zhong frowned and thought for a while, and said, "I have always wondered before, the prince has never indulged in women, how could he suddenly think of marrying the princess of Wannian?" Wen and do you know why? ”

Jia Xu said quietly: "Isn't it because the Son of Heaven issued an edict to give marriage?" ”

Yan Zhong said: "This is another thing that is strange to me. The prince has never taken the world's etiquette to heart, and he doesn't have much reverence for the Son of Heaven, but a few days ago, he suddenly said in public that he wanted to teach the Son of Heaven the ability to lead troops to fight and govern the country, don't you say strange? ”

Jia Xu shook his head and said, "I am just a courtier, how dare I figure out the mind of the lord?" What the lord says and does, naturally has his own considerations. ”

Yan Zhong said dissatisfiedly: "Why should Wen He bother me? Haven't you ever thought about the truth in this? We are all generals, if the Son of Heaven returns to power, will you and I have the fate of raiding the family and exterminating the clan? Since Emperor Gaozu's White Horse Oath, which time has the great general been killed and many people have not died? That is, the prince is kind-hearted, and only He Jin was killed. A few days ago, I didn't take the opportunity to clean the court, so that there were still so many noises every day. ”

Jia Xu was slightly moved, what Yan Zhong said, why hadn't he considered it? Now that Chen Cheng is in power, they can be in a high position and have unlimited scenery, but if the power is transferred back to the hands of the Son of Heaven, can they have any good end?

With the style of the Son of Heaven surnamed Liu in the past dynasties, of course, these people are sure to die, and their families will not be spared, and they will not even have the opportunity to go to the Western Regions to grow cotton. Thinking of this, Jia Xu couldn't help but smile bitterly and said, "Zhongshu Ling, why do you have to say these things? Besides, I can't sway the lord's mind! ”

"Otherwise, there are very few people that the prince trusts, except for Zhao Zilong and that Liu Bei, only Wen and you have the greatest influence on the prince. As long as you and I tell the prince and the marquis, he will naturally not have those childish thoughts anymore. ”

Yan Zhong sneered: "Returning to the Son of Heaven? That would be the equivalent of handing over the knife and letting someone else kill us! In this matter, we must all be consistent, and we must let the prince not make mistakes again and again! ”

Jia Xu said with a smile: "Actually, you don't have to care too much about the Zhongshu Order, although the lord said that he would teach the Son of Heaven the ability to lead troops to fight and govern the country, but he did not say that he would return to power." Now the lord is in the prime of spring and autumn, and he has married the princess of Wannian, and when they have children, they will .........."

Speaking of this, Jia Xu smiled and did not continue. Yan Zhong knew the meaning of elegance, and a smile appeared on his face, "It turns out that when you came up with the idea of letting the prince marry the princess, you had already thought so far?" Wenhe, Wenhe, I think you are the smartest person in our Liangzhou! ”

"Don't dare, in front of Zhongshu Ling, how dare you call the word smart?"

Yan Zhong laughed and said, "Hey, now you admit that you are the one who gave the princess the idea, right?" I'll just say, with the princess's temperament, how can she be so close to you! ”

He laughed and said, "After listening to Wen He's words, like drinking wine, the gloom in my heart is gone." I sent so many beauties to the prince before, just to want him to give birth to an heir as soon as possible. But he didn't expect that it would be better if the eldest son of the prince was born to a princess. Yes, yes, the afterlife is terrifying! ”

Yan Zhong is about ten years older than Jia Xu, but the two are now of the same grade, and now he says to his face, "The future is terrifying", it is a bit of a reliance on the old and selling the old. However, Jia Xu's expression was still the same, and there was no sense of resentment.
