Far away, a group of more than a dozen rode towards Luoyang Dongcheng Buguangli, their goal was directly to the Wenhou Mansion in Buguangli, the leader was Lu Bu's military marquis Wang Cheng, he was ordered by Lu Bu to transfer the people in the mansion, after all, since it had been decided to leave Luoyang, and tonight Luoyang City is indeed not suitable for staying for a long time, and the chaos is even more suitable for leaving while chaos.
They hurried away, did not stop after setting off from the barracks, passed through the Beicheng Valley Gate into Gumen Street, crossed the Yong'an Palace and then crossed the Shangdong Street, turned into this Buguangli, and reached the corner near Buguangli and Yongheli, which was the residence of Wenhou Lubu.
Since Lu Bu was promoted to Wenhou, although this mansion has not changed much except for the expansion of scale, it has finally become a Hou Mansion, and since it has become a Hou, it is also a county marquis of high quality, so you can enjoy certain regulations, such as some etiquette specifications in front of the door.
However, in Luoyang City, the princes and ministers are everywhere, and a Hou Mansion does not seem to be so unusual, but the Lu character is even more offensive, so it has not changed the door plaque, and still uses the golden signboard of Lu Mansion, but it is also an extremely conspicuous place in Buguangli.
The night was already deep, but it was dawn at the extreme, Wang Cheng could already see some light slightly, he didn't dare to slack off when the time was pressing, and he didn't care if he would be noticed, so he drove the war horse under his crotch to sprint there, but when he approached the Lu Mansion, he slowed down the horse's speed again. After all, this is where the Mother of Mistress is. Although he didn't know how many ladies lived in it, or if there was a young master, he definitely couldn't disturb it too much, and the people inside should still be asleep at this time.
When he arrived at the gate of the mansion, Wang Cheng breathed a sigh of relief when he saw a peaceful situation, and he was still worried about what happened when the lord remembered that he had come here. Now, of course, I was relieved to see such a scene, and immediately thought of the order I had received, and my spirit was shocked, and I dismounted with everyone, and then led the horse and continued to walk forward.
All the ministers' courts have their own middle doors and side doors, although Wang Cheng saw that he was very calm in the Wenhou Mansion, he didn't know if anyone was staring at it in secret. He was careful to go off the beaten track, but he could not go straight through, for first a servant who was always ready to lead their horses down, and then an old man came towards them.
This is also a familiar face, Wang Cheng knew that the oncoming old man was now the housekeeper of the outer courtyard of the Lu Mansion, and when he got closer, he said softly: "Please report, the prince Ang, who was ordered by Marquis Wen and the state army, came to visit the mistress and asked to see him." ”
Maybe it's because of old age, maybe it's because of temperament. The old housekeeper of the Lu Mansion seemed very peaceful. Moreover, Wang Cheng is not the first time to come to Lu Mansion, and this housekeeper knows him. He smiled and said, "It turned out to be General Wang Xiao, then please wait a moment." ”
Wang Cheng nodded, watched the door enter the mansion, waited patiently for a moment, and finally the other party came out again, greeted Wang Cheng and said, "Madame, please, go in." However......" Wang Cheng and the others raised their feet and were just about to step in, but they were stopped by the housekeeper, he smiled and said softly: "Master Hou is not here, there are only female dependents in the mansion now, so General Wang Xiao can only be allowed to enter alone." ”
Wang Cheng nodded, he could understand, after all, this was the mansion of the lord, and it was obviously inappropriate for so many of them to go with weapons to meet him, so Wang Cheng ordered his subordinates to wait outside now, and he followed the old housekeeper into the mansion alone.
Entering from the side door, it is just a small road, it seems quite gloomy at night, the people in front and behind do not speak to each other, it seems that the surroundings are very quiet, especially because of the climate, the wind is blowing outside, and the whistling wind seems to fill the whole world, Wang Cheng doesn't care about these, just concentrates on walking.
The corridor turned suddenly, and suddenly lit up in front of him, and a bright light came into view, Wang Cheng saw that this should be the outer courtyard of the Lu Mansion, and the lights were hung in all corners of the courtyard, illuminating the entire courtyard as if it was day, and it was just a dark scene in front of him, which made Wang Cheng's eyes flicker, and he blinked a few times before he got used to it.
The butler stopped here and said, "Madame is waiting in the lobby in front of you, and it is inconvenient for the old man to enter again, General Wang Xiao will go in by himself." ”
Wang Cheng nodded, watched the butler's figure fade away, took a deep breath, and then walked to the front lobby.
This is the meeting hall of the Lu Mansion, and now the owner of the mansion, Lu Bu, is not here, and someone comes to see him, even if he is a direct subordinate of Lu Bu, it is impossible to be in the place of the female dependents, so the Yan family did the duty of the hostess and summoned this Wang Cheng sent by Lu Bu here.
As soon as Wang Cheng entered, he saw Yan sitting there waiting for him, surrounded by two serving maidservants.
Looking at Yan, Wang Cheng took a few steps forward and said respectfully: "Ziang has seen Mrs. ......"
Yan didn't look sleepy, it seemed that she had been awake just now, no wonder she was a woman after all, from some clues of her husband tonight, she could guess that something big might happen tonight, and her husband's subordinates had always been respectful and polite, if it weren't for his orders, this Wang Cheng would never have come to the mansion to disturb, but what was the matter with him?
Although he was puzzled, Yan was not in a hurry, and instructed the maidservant: "Serve tea." ”
Wang Cheng hurriedly refused: "Madame, don't worry, Cheng came here on the orders of the lord, but there is an urgent matter to discuss, and there is no need to trouble." ”
Yan was not reluctant, stopped the servant girl, and asked them to retreat first, there are not many people in this house who are worthy of her trust, at least these two handmaidens are not counted, and the handmaid she trusts is now taking care of Xiao Qiling, naturally she will not appear here, although I don't know what Wang Cheng is going to say, but I have to pay attention to how much, I can only let them go down, as for what to avoid suspicion, I can't think about it for the time being.
When only the two of them were left in the lobby, Yan motioned for Wang Cheng to continue.
Wang Cheng opened his mouth and said straight to the point: "Madam, the lord ordered me to come in order to send my wife and other important people in the palace to the outside of the city, and the lord is waiting in the military camp in the northern suburbs." ”
Yan couldn't have imagined that this would be the case, and couldn't help but be surprised: "Leave the Lu Mansion and go outside the city...... Why? ”
In front of this master's mother, Wang Cheng didn't dare to be rude and offended, so he could only bow his head and reply: "This is the lord's order, saying that as long as a few ladies go outside, he will inform him, and the other Cheng is not very clear." ”
Yan nodded, she believed that the other party was telling the truth, but she couldn't understand what Lu Bu was going to do.
How could they be asked to leave the Lu Mansion and go outside the city? There must be something hidden in this that she doesn't know yet, but Yan is a smart woman, since the appearance of Diao Chan tonight, she has noticed that something seems to have happened, and it is a great event, and now it seems that Lu Bu's arrangement is a bit of a way back
"Then Ziang, you go to gather the guards in the mansion first, and I'll go to the inner courtyard to have a look......"
"Whoa." (To be continued.) )
