Chapter 1 The Wind and Rain Are Approaching Fourth, the Night Front Meets for the First Time
Luoyang, Xiangfu.
This is the study of the Prime Minister's Mansion, which is supposed to be a quiet place, but you can hear the sound inside from afar.
"Lord, your pitcher is getting more and more powerful, and your subordinates think that you don't need to open your eyes to see, you can enter with just a throw!"
"Oh hahahaha! You're getting better at talking. ”
"My lord, you are exalting me too much, in front of you, how dare I say half a lie, you see! This is in again and no. ”
"Hahaha, you have this mouth~"
It is conceivable that this is Dong Zhuo's daily life: he doesn't care about political affairs and just cares about having fun.
"My lord, General Li Su is back." A guard suddenly ran in to give a message.
"Oh? Let him in. ”
The guards came out to signal Li Su, Li Su quickly pulled Lu Bu down, gave him a look, and then straightened his clothes and trotted in.
"The subordinates see the lord, the lord alas~~ Look at who I brought."
Dong Zhuo looked in the direction pointed by Li Su, and there was a handsome and sturdy man standing at the door, dressed in very simple clothes, with his hair scattered on both sides. Judging from his appearance alone, he is just a very heroic but also ordinary person.
But Dong Zhuo was too familiar with those eyes, after all, he had already seen them a few days ago when he was discussing the abolition of the legislature.
As hot as fire, and as sharp as a knife, his eyes were mixed with the self-esteem of a martial artist, there was a sense of arrogance, and there seemed to be a trace of hatred.
"Fengxian, you can come and submit to me, it's really better than a million male soldiers, hahahaha!" Dong Zhuo naturally recognized Lu Bu, after all, when he clashed with Ding Yuan before, it was because Lu Bu was next to him that he didn't make a move.
"I've seen the lord, I have offended a few days ago, and I hope the lord will forgive me." Lu Bu just clasped his fists and saluted.
"How can a goshawk be trapped in a cage, but the sword should be a hero. Lord, if you can come to obedience, this is the godsend of God! Why worry about the big thing! The subordinates expected that the lord would naturally not care about that little thing, right? The middle-aged man who had been patting himself just now spoke again.
"Mengde, since we hope that Feng Xian can come to his command, naturally we won't care."
When Lu Bu heard the word "Mengde", he unconsciously looked at the man.
It turned out that he was Cao Cao, one of the eight captains of the West Garden. I heard that when this person was appointed as the lieutenant of northern Luoyang, he was not afraid of the powerful, how did he now become Dong Zhuo's cronies.
"I have long heard that Lord Cao was a stick to kill the map, and he was famous in the capital. Seeing it today is really a blessing for three lives. Lu Bu threw his hand at Cao Cao, although he said polite words, but he couldn't hide his disgust in his eyes.
"Where, in the future, you and I will be officials with the court, get along day and night, and have the opportunity to talk. Lord, then you talk to Feng Xian slowly, and your subordinates will retire first. With that, Cao Cao said goodbye to Dong Zhuo.
"It's okay, remember to come back tomorrow. Come on, send Meng De out. ”
Seeing his subordinates send Cao Cao out of the door, Dong Zhuocai turned to Lu Bu and said, "Fengxian, come on, let's sit down and talk." ”
……
Cao Cao left the Prime Minister's Mansion and went directly back to his official residence.
As soon as he entered the door, a young man in his twenties greeted him: "Big brother, how is it today, the old thief is not suspicious, right?" ”
He is Cao Cao's younger brother Cao Ren, whose character is filial piety.
"There is no danger." Cao Cao let out a sigh.
"Oh? How so? ”
"Today, Lu Bu has returned to Dong Zhuo, and he doesn't seem to have a good impression of me."
"He has never seen his eldest brother, you are too careful. But it's always a good idea to be careful. Alas! Now that the old thief has added minions, it will be even more difficult to deal with! ”
"Okay, let's not talk about him. Zixiao, you will pack up today, immediately leave to go back to Chenliu, and start to prepare. Cao Cao said with a solemn expression.
"Got it, then big brother, you must be careful yourself." With that, Cao Ren walked out.
——————————————
The mountains are covered with dense forests. A mysterious building is hidden in the mountains, the Northern Hall of the Night Front.
At this moment, Duan Xuan was following Mo Yue in the corridor inside the iron gate of the cave.
This is where Duan Xuan has been living before, and since he followed Mo Yue, he has not left here for ten years.
Torches are lit on the walls on both sides of the corridor, and there are vents at intervals where the walls meet the roof, which facilitate complete isolation from the outside world.
At the end of the corridor was a smaller iron door, flanked by inscriptions cast on the wall:
Talking about heroic deeds at night, cutting off the old mountains and rivers of the turbid Han.
In the ten years since Duan Xuan stepped into this iron gate, he has only lived a boring life of reading during the day and practicing martial arts at night.
In his memory, what supported him in those years was only a belief - to kill all the evil officials in the world and punish all the traitors in the world.
This is the Yefeng Northern Hall, Duan Xuan still remembers that when he first arrived here, the first lesson Mo Yue taught himself was:
From today on, he, like everyone here, can no longer have personal feelings, and no longer have a past, he can only live for the common people in the world, and take it as his responsibility to save all the people from fire and water. And all he can have is the unified name "Night Edge".
Mo Yue explained to himself that the night blade is hidden in the long night, and the righteous deeds are in the blade. From market vendors to officials of the Han Dynasty, the people of Yefeng used a variety of things.
At its peak, the number of Yefeng was nearly hundreds of thousands, except for the more than 10,000 people left behind in each main hall, the rest were distributed throughout the territory of the Great Han Dynasty.
There is also a dedicated business system in the Night Striker to maintain a huge overhead.
But the classification of the night front structure is not complicated:
At the top are thirteen elders, each with their own division of labor, who are the founders of the organization. Today, there are three each in the northern and southeastern branches, and two each in the southern and Hanzhong branches. The other three have passed away, and some of their subordinates have merged into other halls, some have gone into exile, and some have lived an ordinary life incognito.
Each of the virtuous elders has three cronies, called "Night Shuai". Mo Yue is one of the night commanders of the four sages, and the talents of those who can occupy this position are already very good.
Each night commander has four subordinate "sub-leaders" who are responsible for leading the local branches, and one of them is in charge of business operations.
Each Yeshuai has two pro-apprentices, Duan Xuan is Mo Yue's pro-apprentice, unless Yeshuai personally authorizes it, he is not subject to the control of the division, and only obeys Yeshuai's orders.
The current Yefeng is not as good as before, a few years ago, a big accident caused Yefeng to lose the Thirteen Sages and all his cronies and tens of thousands of ordinary organization members. As for the incident, no one wanted to mention it again......
After entering the inner door is a large hall with dark blankets on the floor and several torches on each side.
The main hall is not very wide, but it is very high. There are no frills and it gives a very quaint feel.
There is a door on each side, and a carved door on the left leads to the inner room, which houses the residence and study of all people.
The flat door on the right leads to the dossier room and the martial arts arena.
And all of this is built in this mountain that has been hollowed out. I don't know how long it took someone to complete such a huge project.
In the deepest part of the hall is a three-and-a-half-foot-high staircase, and there are three stone chairs on the steps, all of which have Chinese characters spelled out with dragons, which are "Shi", "Wu", and "Jiu", which are the positions of the three virtuous elders of the main hall.
Duan Xuan saw two teenagers from afar, a man and a woman, who were two beloved apprentices of another handsome man under the old man of the four sages, the male was called Zhang Feng, the word Tianyi, and the female was called Ren Ying.
And in front of them is the old man who "calls" himself - the four sages.
"Xuan'er is back. Hehe, what, hurt? The sound of bells and drums came, and although the old man looked over seven fathoms, his voice was still very powerful.
Duan Xuan pursed his lips and stepped forward, "I've seen the four sages." ”
Although he usually doesn't have a proper behavior, he doesn't dare to be presumptuous in front of this old man.
"A little injury, the virtuous old don't need to care."
"Hehe, is everything going well?"
"There is no difference, now that Ding Yuan is dead, there will be no war in Luoyang for the time being." As he spoke, Duan Xuan seemed to sigh a little lost.
"What's the matter, Xuan'er has something on your mind?" The four sages asked with a squinting smile.
"Ding Yuan is a loyal man after all, but this time we want to get rid of him."
"Xuan'er, don't forget our teachings, don't do things with personal feelings. Ding Yuan stationed troops in Luoyang, and the war was about to break out, if he really waited for him to fight with Dong Zhuo, it was the people who suffered. Okay, if there is something else to ask you to come back, let Feng'er and Ying'er do it in Luoyang, after all, there are many people who know you, and it is inconvenient. You recuperate in the hall first, and then go to Jizhou in a few days. ”
"Jizhou? What do you mean......" Duan Xuan was a little puzzled.
Yuan Shao fled to Hebei after falling out with Dong Zhuo, but this person couldn't be left alone. Han Fu's subordinates will help you when the time comes, you go to him to spy on Yuan Shao, but you don't have to do anything, just report Yuan Shao's movements on time. If he does do make any moves, I'll send someone to tell you what to do. Person...... Maybe it's going to cause trouble for the world. ”
"Xuan'er understood."
"Okay, I'll go to the ninth brother to see the injury later, and rest well, the matter in Hebei is not in a hurry."
Duan Xuan answered and went down.
"Feng'er, Ying'er" The old man looked at the two people standing below, and said kindly, "When you go to Luoyang, you must be careful everywhere." Be improvised, and don't act recklessly. After the two of you arrive in Luoyang, you will go to join Lu Fentong. ”
"Feng'er remember."
"Ying'er remember."
"Alright, let's go, be careful on the road."
……
Watching the two children leave, the four sages put away their smiles and said to Mo Yue, "Did you figure it out this time?" Dong Zhuo......"
"Xuan'er is obsessed with him, and always thinks that Dong Zhuo will not suddenly change his temperament."
"What do you think?"
"I can't say for sure, but Xuan'er has already used a trick to let Lu Bu test it."
"At the beginning, Xuan'er really put a lot of effort into letting Dong Zhuo enter Beijing, but now the result is unacceptable, and it is natural."
In fact, the virtuous old man also understands that even if Dong Zhuo does not enter Beijing, the dispute between relatives and eunuchs will also make Luoyang restless. It's just that now Dong Zhuo dominates the dynasty, and everyone has a public target that can be blamed. ”
"Okay, let's not talk about that. Let me tell you something, there are rumors in the Southeast General Hall, and they seem to be ...... It's true. ”
"How could it be! That virtuous old man, why don't I go over? ”
"That's not necessary, Wen Hao." Wen Hao is Mo Yue's character, and few people know it.
The four sages looked meaningfully in the direction of the southeast, "Weiyun has already gone." ”
