Chapter 14: Righteousness Schlub

Zhao Yue raised her head and glanced at Lu Bu with shocked eyes.

Lu Bu was leisurely looking around the environment, and when he saw Zhao Yue looking at him, he hurriedly explained: "Oh, Changjiao, don't get me wrong, I'm not a rogue, and this wound is not injured by anyone." ”

Zhao Yue didn't speak, just nodded, and her hands were still busy.

Seeing this, Lu Bu was afraid of disturbing him, so he didn't say anything more and continued to look at the surrounding scenery.

Zhao Yue quickly treated the wound with her hands, threw the blood-stained cloth towel into the stream, and then took out a clean cloth towel and bandaged it for Lu Bu. After completing this series of actions, he smiled and said, "Okay, it's been dealt with." ”

Hearing this, Lu Bu looked down at his wound, then moved his leg again, found that it was much better, and hurriedly said, "Thank you, Brother Changjiao." ”

Zhao Yue waved her hand happily and said, "No need to thank you, I think the wound is a bite, not a sharp weapon." I was washing my face here just now, and I heard the sound of a man fighting with a wolf from the depths of the forest, it must be Feng Xian, right? ”

Lu Bu slapped his thigh, revealing a row of white teeth, looked up to the sky and laughed, and said with a smile: "That's right, that person is down." I was originally a general under the account of Ding Yuan, but my father-in-law Ding Yuan received an invitation from Dong Zhuo to come to Luoyang to discuss matters. I just took the first step and came to Luoyang to inquire about the news. But I was greedy, I didn't take the official road, and took a shortcut. Who knew that in the woods I met a wolf, and it took advantage of my unpreparedness, and bit off my shoe, and bit my left foot, and tried to eat my horse, so I dismounted and fought with it, and finally slaughtered it! ”

After Lu Bu finished speaking, he stretched out his palm and made a killing gesture.

Zhao Yue listened wonderfully, and after listening, she muttered to herself: "If it weren't for seeing your wound and killing me, I don't believe that anyone can slaughter the evil wolf by fighting alone." ”

Lu Bu looked like he should be, waved his hand casually, and said: "What's this, in our Hebei and Bingzhou area, there are often tigers in the mountains and wilderness. Earlier, I led the troops to Changshan, but on the way I was intercepted by two tigers, a male and a female, and the soldiers under my command did not dare to move, and in the end I only stepped forward, resulting in the lives of the two fierce beasts! ”

Zhao Yue laughed secretly in her heart when she heard this: Although this Lu Bu has some skills, most of them are also a poor and flamboyant person. He killed a lone wolf probably as a fluke, where can anyone fight and kill a tiger alone, or two.

Seeing that Zhao Yue didn't react, Lu Bu was embarrassed to stay longer, so he had to reluctantly get up and said with difficulty: "I was killed today, thanks to Engong's rescue, Lu Bu is very grateful, and I want to ask Engong again, how to enter Luoyang City?" ”

Zhao Yue also stood up, stretched out her hand to the east, and explained: "Out of this forest, it is the barracks of our Han soldiers, and not far to the east is Luoyang, but it's just ......."

Saying that, Zhao Yue looked down at Lu Bu's feet, not to mention that he was injured, he didn't have shoes yet, which was really indecent.

Suddenly, Zhao Yue had a flash of inspiration, remembered the Feiyun boots he got from Ma Lu, the owner of the big business, a few days ago, and hurriedly said to Lu Bu excitedly: "Since you don't have shoes to wear, why don't I give you a pair, those shoes are soft and can prevent swords, and they are just right for you!" ”

Lu Bu shook his head again and again after hearing this, and refused: "No, Lu Bu is not a person who loves money, just now Engong came to the rescue, I am already grateful to Dade, how can I accept such a valuable thing." ”

Zhao Yue didn't have time to take care of Lu Bu, just let Lu Bu stand where he was and wait, while he trotted all the way, ran back to the house, took the Feiyun boots and went out. When he went out, because he was in too much of a hurry, he almost knocked over Cao Ping, who was doing a handstand, Cao Ping's upside-down little head shook near the ground, watching Zhao Yue run all the way away.

When he came to the woods, Zhao Yue was already out of breath, he held the shoes in his hand in the air and shook them, and then came to Lu Bu's side, and without waiting for Lu Bu to speak, he couldn't help but put a shoe on Lu Bu's feet.

After putting on his shoes, Lu Bu finally dared to land with his left foot.

The soles of his feet were lightly forced, and then he looked at Zhao Yue with a surprised expression and said: "These boots are really treasures, they look bright on the outside, and they are comfortable to wear on the inside, if it is really as you said, you can't even wear a sword, then it is really a precious object." ”

"Here, put this one back on." Zhao Yue said, handing the other one of the Feiyun Boots to Lu Bu as well.

Looking at Lu Bu's handsome appearance after putting on Feiyun boots on both feet, Zhao Yue smiled happily, as if the person wearing the boots was himself. For a while, Zhao Yue also forgot the value of Feiyun boots, and she didn't give up at all.

Lu Bu walked back and forth, and seemed to like Feiyun boots very much, but he still said to Zhao Yuezheng: "These boots are very good, they can be used for casual boots, and they can also be used for combat boots, but they are too expensive, I really dare not accept them!" ”

Zhao Yue said magnificently: "What's this, I'm not a stingy person, I only helped when I saw you in trouble; Besides, the BMW is a hero, the boots are worn on you, and you are so powerful, if you wear it on my feet, I am afraid that others will think that it is ordinary. ”

When Lu Bu heard this, he knelt down on one knee, lowered his head, clasped his fists with his hands above his head, and said excitedly: "In the troubled times, everyone has their own selfish desires, but I didn't expect to meet a person like Chang Jiao, who is righteous and squanders money, if he has the opportunity one day, Lu Bu will definitely repay him with death!" ”

Zhao Yue helped Lu Bu up and showed a bright smile again.

Everything is as Lu Bu said, in troubled times, who is not ill-intentioned, especially in the officialdom, the degree of sinister often makes people shudder, and they need to be vigilant at all times.

Even if there are a few people who act like love and righteousness on the surface, they must have other intentions in their hearts.

There are very few simple teenagers from the countryside like Zhao Yue, in short, Lu Bu has never seen them.

After sending Lu Bu away, Zhao Yue spent a few days in boredom, and soon, it came to the day of Dong Zhuo's deliberations.

On this day, Luoyang was really in order, and all kinds of people who bought and sold goods disappeared, and were replaced by teams of patrol soldiers. Some of them were subordinate to Dong Zhuo, and some were personal guards led by foreign princes.

Even outside Luoyang City, these princes also set up barracks.

For example, Gongsun Zhan handed over the soldiers to his son Gongsun Xu to lead, and tun them to the east of Hugao Pass, Liu Daitun to the east of Luoyang City, and Ding Yuantun to Pinggang...... These old foxes are not stupid, they have already secretly set up spies in Luoyang, and they also know what is going on this time.

The princes had already made a decision in their hearts, this time, if Dong Zhuo did too much to the Han Dynasty, or touched their own interests, they would directly lead the troops to fight with him, and they would also save the province of returning to the fiefdom to transfer troops and send generals, and it would cost a lot of grain and grass to go back and forth.

Of course, there are also people who can calm down, such as Cao Cao, who was standing in the queue of hundreds of officials at this time and had just walked into the second gate of the palace, he walked calmly, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, because he knew that there would be a good show no matter what happened today, and he would never participate in it.

He wanted to see how these people with their own evil intentions competed with each other.

According to the rules of the palace, during the general deliberations, the soldiers guarding the outside of the temple need to close the door after everyone enters the palace, unless someone breaks into the temple or hears the sound of fighting in the palace, they are not allowed to take a step, and only the commander of the guard can walk around and patrol.

This time, Zhao Yue and Cao Ping, who were guarding the palace, had heard Liu Zheng talk about this rule, and they received the military uniforms that Liu Zheng brought them early, but what was disgusting was that the clothes were already in tatters.

Cao Ping was still complaining when he wore it: "This is to let us be guards, it is obviously to make us embarrassed." ”

"Cao Ping, you kid has a lot of things, today is not as usual, you have to be careful, don't go wrong!" Zhao Yue said that she put on a red military uniform on her body, and then put on a black helmet, which was really like that.

Zhao Yue is full of expectations for today, not only because he entered the palace for the first time in his life and could meet heroes from all walks of life. is also because when Zhao Yue went to Dong Jun's barnhouse to find Zhang Duan the day before yesterday, Zhang Duan told him that he would also appear as Dong Zhuojun's escort in today's meeting, but he was in the palace and could not stand with Zhao Yue.

Zhao Yue inquired with Zhang Duan about the number of Dong Jun's guards, and learned that they were ten times larger than the Han army, about twenty people, and were commanded by the military marquis Han Kui.

In the morning, when the red sun broke through a cloud and the sun shone on the palace hall, everyone finally began to enter the palace.

Zhao Yue and Cao Ping stood outside the temple gate, but their bodies were half blocked by the two open gates. The only thing that leaked out was a tattered garment, and the spear in his hand, but the tip of the spear was already rusty, and the wooden stick from which the handle of the spear was scraped off, and it looked like a beggar's walking stick.

The first to enter the main hall were those who were officials in the court, and the foreign princes were the last.

Two columns of officials slowly walked up the white stone steps, Zhao Yue turned sideways slightly, and secretly looked with one eye exposed, only to see that the civil officials in the left column were all holding a hand board, wearing official hats, stepping on square shoes, and full of bookishness; The military attache on the right is holding his hand to the saber and sword at his waist, his steps are steady, and his expression is nervous.

According to common sense, this meeting is already similar to the scale of the emperor's meeting, and no one is allowed to carry weapons. It's just that Dong Zhuo doesn't have the strength to make such a request to the participants now, and the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty and the foreign princes also have many loyal and good friends who are loyal to the Han Dynasty, and they are not willing to give this traitor the slightest face, so at this time, they are all swords and swords to the palace.

What's more, there is also the act of secretly lining soft armor inside the brocade robe of the court clothes, which they want to just in case. In their minds, they no longer believed Dong Zhuo's so-called nonsense about revitalizing the Han Dynasty.

The crowd began to approach the temple gate, and Zhao Yue and Cao Ping straightened up, trying to make themselves look as formal.

However, when the civil officials passing by saw the two of them, they all closed their eyes and shook their heads, looking unsightly sad, while the military attachΓ©s glared at them angrily, as if everyone was eager to come up with a knife and cut them down.

This made Zhao Yue and Cao Ping feel a little nervous, and Liu Zheng stood aside and seemed to understand something.

Not far away, Jia Xu, who was making suggestions for Dong Zhuo's deliberations, was standing under the pillars of the corridor, looking at everything that was happening here, showing a faint smile.

It's a pity that his current official position is meagre, and he has not won the trust of the lord, so he is not qualified to enter the palace for deliberations.

After the Manchu Dynasty entered the palace, it was followed by several princes, most of whom were from Hebei and the Central Plains.

Thinking that the Yellow Turban Rebellion had just subsided, Liu Yan, the assassin of Youzhou, asked the imperial court to set up a state pastor, named Daitian Patrol Mu, whose actual power overrode the state assassin history and Taishou in various states.

After that, Liu Yan invited himself to Yizhou Mu, and ordered Zhang Lu to guard Hanzhong and kill the Han envoys, since then Xishu and the Central Plains have no contacts, and its actual ruling power no longer belongs to the Han Dynasty.

There are also the Shixie clan in Jiaozhou in the south who are far away in the remote area, and they do not accept the education of the Central Plains, and there are many Shanyue tribes and rogues along the way. Therefore, the court documents were not allowed to be served. The Shixie clan became a warlord on one side of the separatist and formed a faction of their own.

Moreover, the two places are far away, so there are no princes from Xishu and Jiangnan to come to this meeting.

In the hall, Dong Zhuo had already ordered the director of the Qutai who was in charge of court etiquette to complete the renovation of the main hall, and connected the twelve copper lamp stands with red silk above the pillars, and ordered the officials in charge of Taile in the palace to place the musical instruments of the chimes next to the hall for pleasure.

The royal cooks in the imperial dining room have already sharpened their knives, and when the hour comes, they will kill chickens and sheep, make delicacies, and serve them in the palace with fine wine.

As for security, Han Kui and the others led the twenty bravest men under his command, wearing treasure swords and armor, standing next to the pillars of the main hall, waiting for Dong Zhuo's dispatch.

Among them was Zhang Duan, who was standing under the pillar near the high platform in the hall, only ten steps away from Dong Zhuo's seat on the high platform.

The deliberations are on!
