Chapter 1116: Old Pawn

When he learned the news, Lu Bu rarely didn't make a big fuss.

Because before that, his son had already taken the initiative to admit his mistake, saying that he had disobeyed his father's order and was willing to be punished.

Perhaps because he felt that he owed his son too much, Lu Bu did not blame him harshly.

One morning after that, Lu Bu called his two sons and made it clear that he would make Lu Zhen the son of the world, and at the same time he would hand over the entire Lu family to him.

Upon learning of this, the two sons were stunned.

The matter of establishing the son, Lu Xiao expected that this would be the result, but what does it mean to hand over the Lu family to the eldest brother, isn't his father okay?

Lu Zhen also didn't understand.

Lu Bu folded the hands of the two brothers together, and said seriously: "In the future, don't fight, you two are forever brothers of flesh and blood." ”

Looking at the two brothers who were still a little dazed, Lu Bu stretched out his hand to stroke the top of their heads, and gently instructed them as if they were children.

"Xiao'er, you will act less recklessly in the future, listen to your brother's opinion more in everything, and believe that as a father, he will not harm you."

"Zhu'er, if there is something wrong with Xiao'er, you can bear with me."

"In short, this family will depend on your two brothers in the future."

"And what about you, father?"

The two brothers spoke in unison.

Me!

Speaking of this, Lu Bu laughed, and he wasn't going to hide it from his two sons, anyway, he wanted to know sooner or later.

"I have already discussed with your mother, and I will go back to Bingzhou next month to find a place with beautiful mountains and rivers to retire. Over the years, I have always been running around, fighting in the north and south, getting together with your mother less and leaving more, and I have never fulfilled my husband's due duties. As for your mother, you have never complained, and for so many years, you have been gentle and graceful. ”

"Back then, your mother dared to love and hate, and she was brave enough to abandon everything for me as a bastard. Now, as a father, I can't lose to her, and I can also let go of my position of power. For the rest of my life, I will accompany your mother, in the mountains and wilderness, and grow old together. ”

seemed to be looking forward to the future, and Lu Bu's eyes softened a little.

Lu Xiao rubbed his goosebumpy arm and said like a ghost: "Dad, now you don't look like the hero in my mind at all." These words are simply insensitive! ”

When Lu Bu heard this, he turned his face and raised his hand to fight.

Seeing this, Lu Xiao grinned and ran away directly.

"Father, if you are not here, the child is afraid that he will not be able to suppress the formation."

Lu Zhen was a little apprehensive, afraid of disappointing his father.

In the past, he made drastic moves in all directions, because no matter what, the sky couldn't fall, and even if it fell, his father would support him.

Now that his father has the idea of retiring, Lu Zhen is only afraid that he will not be able to support the Lu family.

"Didn't you do the same well when your father wasn't there?"

Lu Bu said with a smile, and solemnly patted his son on the shoulder, and officially encouraged him as a father for the first time: "Zhang'er, don't be afraid, whatever you want to do in the future, you just let it go." If the naivety really collapses, come back for the Father to make up for you. ”

"Yes, Father!"

Lu Zhen said loudly, his eyes bursting with dazzling light.

One day after that, Lu Bu wandered to the suburbs.

The grass is green, and everything is growing vigorously under the moisture of the sun and spring rain, and everywhere you look, there is a lot of abundance.

In the field, a group of peasant children rode bamboo horses on their hips, holding wooden sticks and swords in their hands, chasing and fighting on the fields, shouting 'I am a general' and other bold words. Children, after listening to some heroic stories from their fathers, they naively regard themselves as heroes in the stories.

Not far away, an elderly man leaned against the field, clasped his hands, squinted his eyes, and comfortably enjoyed the warmth of the sun.

Lu Bu walked forward, as if he wanted to talk to the old man.

"This man, my father is deaf and can't hear."

A sturdy farmer put down his farm work, walked over first, bowed slightly, and said to Lu Bu with a somewhat restrained expression.

Subconsciously, he regarded Lu Bu as an official who visited the county.

His father is a veteran who retired from the battlefield, and it is said that he also fought Yanzhou with the king back then, and after he was discharged from the army, officials would come to pay his respects every year.

This also shows that the current king is a person who misses the old love very much.

The old man was napping, and Lu Bu was inconvenient to disturb, so he chatted with the old man's son.

When it comes to the scene of life, the smile on the man's face has never stopped. He told Lu Bu that his father had made a lot of meritorious deeds on the battlefield over the years, and his family had been able to get a lot of land, and in recent years, the king had reduced taxes, and his family could not only have enough to eat, but also sometimes save some surplus money.

People who have experienced the turmoil of war and turmoil all feel that there is no better way to live in the world.

"Later, it will be better."

Lu Bu has a long rhyme.

The son carries all the expectations of him and his husband.

Near noon, the man washed his hands on the edge of the ditch and gently woke up his father, who was still napping.

That's how you get old, you can fall asleep anywhere.

The old man, supported by his son, slowly got up.

When his son talked to him about what had just happened, the old man couldn't hear it clearly, but he could see it from his son's expression.

He opened his drooping eyelids slightly, and looked up to see that the figure in front of him had gone far away.

It's vague, but it's familiar.

I should have seen it, but I can't remember anything.

The old man thought about it for a while, and finally sighed helplessly, people are old, and their memory is always very poor.

After that, I walked a long way, and I was almost at the door of my home.

Suddenly, the old man seemed to remember something, his feet paused, his whole body trembled slightly, and a pair of cloudy eyes suddenly burst out of dazzling brilliance, full of disbelief.

"Father, what's wrong with you?"

The filial and honest farmer asked worriedly.

The old man said nothing, or did not want to waste the slightest time explaining, he broke free of his son's support, and ran back with all his might, as if he wanted to use up all his strength.

"Father, run slowly, don't fall!"

The son followed closely behind, but the elderly father, at this moment, seemed to have regained his life, and his running speed actually made him, a young and strong man, a little out of reach.

Even when he met the county officials before, he had never seen his father so excited.

The man couldn't figure it out.

Running back to the field in one breath, the old man raised his eyes and looked around, but there was no figure he was looking for in the crowd as far as his eyes could see.

So, he ran forward for a while, and when his eyes fell on the distant back in front of him, the old man stopped, his face flushed with excitement, although this figure was a little more stiff than back then, but the old man could still be sure that this was the general he had followed side by side.

Looking at the figure in front of him, the old man's eyes were red, he straightened up, and stood in the most standard military posture.

At this moment, he seemed to hear the whistling of the wind.

I heard thousands of troops and horses, heard the robe shouts of the mountains, and heard crawling out of the sea of corpses and blood again and again......

But the blood-stained Lu character banner just doesn't fall.

He saw himself as a young man, and he also stood in the crowd and yelled loudly.

Under the banner of Lu Zi, it is invincible.

…………

In the east of Chang'an City, three horses drank water on the grassy riverside with their heads down.

Their owners were walking along the riverbank, and all three of them were dressed in heroic and capable attire, although they were women, they also wore swords at their waists, and wore crowns in their hair.

Speaking of fame, the three of them can be said to be absolutely famous.

The one on the left is the only sister of Ma Chao, the general of Zhengxi; The one in red on the right is the little sister of Sun Ce, the tiger of the rivers and lakes; As for the pretty girl in the middle, she is the eldest daughter of King Wu Zhao today.

When the ruffians in the Chang'an area saw them, it was like a mouse seeing a cat, provoking them, and the old birthday star ate arsenic.

"Sister Lingqi, are you really leaving Chang'an City?" Sun Shangxiang turned his head, losing the urgency of the wind and fire on weekdays, on the contrary, there was a little sadness between his eyebrows.

Lu Lingqi didn't hide this and nodded slightly. My father has gray hair, and my two younger brothers have to guard the family business, and she, who is an older sister, should always be by their parents' side for them and do more filial piety.

"But I can't bear you, after you leave, this place will definitely be very boring." Sun Xiaomei frowned and frowned, smash it, smash it, it seemed that she could shed tears.

Lu Lingqi tapped her head and said funny: "I'm leaving, isn't there still Yunlu with you?" ”

"Don't mention me, after you leave, Shangxiang Xiaomei will at least have Lu Man'er with her, what about me? I'm the real lonely person......" Ma Yunlu pursed his lips, not feeling good in his heart.

"Cut, don't make you so pitiful, you are the only sister of General Zhengbei, and anyone who wants to climb your family can break the threshold, but your own vision is too high, and no one can look at it."

"Hmph, if you want me to marry an ordinary man, I'd rather not marry for the rest of my life."

Ma Yunlu raised his head high, and his heroic face was resolute, and he said very backbonely, the person I want to marry must be both civil and military, and a world-class talent!

"Well, one day, you can meet it."

Lu Lingqi said with a smile, then took the hands of the two sisters and walked on the riverside, recalling the past when they saw injustices on the road together, punished the evil and eliminated the evil, and couldn't help but sigh, that was their happiest time.

However, he didn't go far, Ma Yunlu seemed to have found something surprising, broke free from Lu Lingqi's palm, said to the two sisters to go and go back, and then turned over and got on the horse and galloped forward.

In the distance, a scrawny old horse slowly walked on the avenue, judging from the several visible scars on its body, it was obviously an old horse that had been fighting on the battlefield for a long time, and a long cloth was hung on the oblique side of the left abdomen, which was wrapped in a pole that had not seen the light of day for a long time.

The man leading the horse was a middle-aged man, with a white shirt with tight sleeves and a pair of lacquered linen shoes under his feet, with a handsome and gentle appearance, with a bit of Confucianism, but there was a weathered vicissitudes in his eyes.

He had thought about it for a long time before coming here.

In the end, I decided to come here to take a trip and see if the people in Guanzhong were as dire as Xuande Gong said.

Along the way, what I saw and heard was very different from my impression.

There is no brutal governance, let alone reckless disregard for human life.

He was even a little happy in his heart, wasn't this the world he wanted to pursue?

As for who is in power, it seems that it has become less important to him.

He thought that after going to Chang'an for a walk, he led the old horse back to Changshan, and then guarded the grave of his deceased parents, and from then on he died in the mountains and forests, never to go out of the world again.

Thinking like this, there was a hurried horse's hoof in front of him, and the dust flew all the way to the front.

The man raised his head slightly, and after seeing the appearance of the person who came, his expression showed a slight hint of surprise.

In contrast, the girl on horseback was unrestrained, lifted one leg, easily slipped off the horse, behaved very generously, smiled like a spring flower, and shouted at him.

Zhao Zilong, long time no see.
