Hearing the Lu team mention the wanted matter, Blacksmith Yang immediately lowered his head and said apologetically:

"We didn't receive this message until the day after you left. But at that time, you had already gone to the village, so I thought I would wait for you to come back......"

"Humph! And what about intelligence experts? For such an important matter, no businessman is well-informed! ”

After glaring at Blacksmith Yang, he heard Lu Pu ask again:

"So, is it true?"

"That's right! It was the decree of the little emperor that canceled the wanted notice for Huaxing. ”

"And what about my wanted?"

"You're ...... Not canceled yet. As long as you enter the royal territory, there is still a risk of being caught. ”

"It's been so long, haven't you dredged up the relationship?" Lu Pu looked reproachful.

"Dredged! But after the little emperor ascended the throne, many officials in the capital were replaced, so、So it will take some time。 ”

"Alas!"

With a long sigh, Lu Pu didn't say anything more.

Because he knew that what Blacksmith Yang said was true, as the so-called son of heaven and a courtier, many of the relationships they had cultivated before were now useless.

Seeing that Lu Pu didn't speak for a long time, Blacksmith Yang thought that the other party was blaming him for being unfavorable, so he immediately stepped forward and took the initiative to plead guilty:

"This matter is a dereliction of duty on the part of my subordinates, and I will return to Luoyang tomorrow to dredge up the relationship and strive to cancel the captain's wanted notice as soon as possible."

"No need!" Lu Pu waved his hand and replied:

"There's no rush in this matter, you can do it later. You'll have to deal with me on more urgent matters now. ”

"More urgent?"

"That's right! Hua Xing told me that when he was assassinating Dong Zhuo in Luoyang, he met a man in black. This person is also from the future, and he is also trying to prevent Huaxing from killing Dong Zhuo! ”

"The Man in Black?"

Hearing this, Blacksmith Yang was stunned for a moment, but soon remembered something, and frowned:

"Could it be...... They? ”

"Humph! Who else could it be but them? After a cold snort, he saw Lu Pu's face cold and said:

"After hiding for so many years, they have finally surfaced!"

"Oh, I always thought it was just a rumor, but I didn't expect them to actually come?" After a sigh of emotion, I heard Blacksmith Yang ask:

"Captain, what should we do next?"

"Immediately pass the book to the other five and tell them two things." Lu Pu said as he collected his thoughts:

"First, tell them that the mission has been updated, and the next target is Lu Bu. But this mission does not need their assistance, continue to hibernate and do not expose it too soon. Second......"

Speaking of this, I saw that Lu Pu's face was a little more gloomy:

"Second, let them search for the whereabouts of the man in black with all their might within their sphere of influence! Once discovered, remove it at all costs. This is their priority at the moment. ”

"Understood, I'll get the news out right away!"

After recording Lu Pu's instructions in a small book, Blacksmith Yang looked up again and asked:

"Then next, do I go to Luoyang or ......?"

"You...... I have other arrangements! Lu Pu shook his head and replied:

"In order to prevent the man in black from disrupting the plan, you will leave for Hongnong tomorrow!"

……

Three days later, Huaxing came to Hongnong City alone.

Hongnong, although not as good as Luoyang in Kyoto, but because it is located on the south bank of the Yellow River between Chang'an and Luoyang, and east of the famous Hangu Pass of Qin, it has always been a military and political important place in the past dynasties.

Coming to the vicinity of the city gate, Huaxing soon saw the recruitment notice that Mi Zheng said. Because the salary given by Lu Bu is not low, it really attracts a lot of idle men.

And his wanted portrait was not seen, so Hua Xing relieved himself and walked towards the city with his head held high.

According to Lu Pu's instructions, after walking for more than ten minutes, Huaxing came to a simple barracks located in the west of the city.

At this moment, there are many people lining up here, it seems that they are all here to join the army, and Huaxing is not in a hurry, so he follows the back of the line.

After waiting in line for five or six minutes, Huaxing finally came to the head of the line, and sitting in front of him was a veteran in his thirties.

The man had a look of extreme impatience on his face, his elbows propped up on the table, his legs trembling inexplicably, and a wooden stick in his mouth. When Huaxing approached, he didn't even bother to raise his head, bared his teeth and said:

"Name, age, where do you live?" Have you ever been a soldier before? If you don't tell the truth, there's no silver! ”

Seeing that the other party regarded himself as a recruit, Hua Xing smiled slightly, took out a few documents from his arms and handed them to the other party:

"My situation is all over this, why don't you take a look at it first?"

The veteran really didn't expect that someone would come to the army with a "resume"!

After taking the paperwork, he glanced at it with wide eyes, and then casually threw it to the recorder on the side, and opened his mouth to shout:

"I tell you to say it, and you say it! I don't have time to read the stuff you wrote! We're recruiting soldiers for war, not poets, why are you showing me? Say who the surname is, or change the next one! ”

Seeing that the other party read the paperwork, he still had such an attitude, Huaxing was a little puzzled.

The heart said, could it be that Lu Pu bought him a fake general?

Otherwise, how could any soldier dare to yell at him?

But just when Hua Xing was wondering, he saw the recorder sitting next to the veteran and stabbed the other party with his elbow. Immediately stood up from the chair, and said to Chong Huaxing with a solemn face:

"It turned out that the Chinese Protector arrived, and the last general will miss the distance, and I hope that the Protector will forgive the sins!"

Hearing what the recorder said, the veteran also felt that something was wrong, and quickly stood up, but he didn't rush to talk to Huaxing, but asked the recorder in a low voice:

"What Hua Protector, what do you say?"

"Brother Li, these are letters of appointment! This lord is the new Protector of the Dead. You're here to meet the Protectors! ”

The recorder winked as he spoke, and motioned for the veteran to apologize quickly.

As soon as these words came out, the veteran named Li Shui finally understood what was going on.

It turned out that the young man in front of him was the legendary rich kid who spent eight hundred taels of silver to buy the position of protector!

Although Li Shui looked down on this kind of "bought general" in his heart, he definitely didn't dare to offend him, so he hurriedly bowed his head and apologized:

"Oh, it turned out to be the Hua Protector! Hehe, I'm sorry, I haven't been in the study hall since I was a child, and I don't know how to read, so don't mind! ”

Hearing this, Hua Xing suddenly realized that he was wrong to blame Lu Pu.

The bought general was indeed real, but because the recruiting master couldn't read, there was a misunderstanding.

In this regard, of course, Huaxing would not mind, shook his head and replied:

"It doesn't matter! So where do I go now? ”

"This is the recruiting office, like you, you have to go directly to General Gao. He's resting in the room, so I'll take you there!" ”

After learning the identity of the other party, Li Shui was a lot more friendly and took the initiative to lead Huaxing to the door of a bungalow. Knocked on the door:

"General Qiyu, the captive guards have arrived at the barracks, how do you arrange it?"

"Let him in."

Hearing the man's reply, the veteran pushed open the door and invited Huaxing in, while he quickly exited the room.
