Chapter 42: Farewell
Because of the delay in Yingchuan for several days, by the time Lu An and his people arrived in Beihai, Kong Rong and the others had been resting in Beihai for a long time, and Lu An did not plan to stay in Beihai for a long time, and after settling Diao Chan and Guo Jia, he found Lu Sanding and his wife, and told them about their going to Wuling to take office, so that they could get ready, and naturally won their sighs again, saying that the ancestral tomb was full of smoke and so on.
In this way, after two or three days, Lu An finally completed the handover of the affairs on this side of Beihai, and Lu Sanding and his wife found him again.
"Son! We thought about it for a while, before we left, it was better to go back to the countryside to worship our ancestors, and it was better to invite the villagers to drink, after all, we have been dealing with each other for more than ten years, and we don't know how long it will take to come back in the future! Lu Sanding rubbed his hands and said with some expectation.
"Since my father said so, then I'll make arrangements, and I'll go back to Xiaoshi Village with you tomorrow!" Hearing this, Lu An replied with a chuckle. What does Lu Sanding think, he knows very well in his heart, of course it is true to worship his ancestors, as for inviting the villagers to drink, I am afraid it is just to fill his face and show his vanity, the so-called brocade does not return to his hometown is equal to brocade nocturnal, since he became the lord of the Beihai, he has hardly returned to the village, although his parents are now worry-free, but the former villagers can't see it, it is inevitable that there are some fly in the ointment, and now I want to go home to show off, he is a son, of course this must be satisfied.
"Hehe, okay, then I'll go and call someone to inform the villagers in Xiaoshi Village now!" When Lu Sanding heard this, he was immediately happy, this son was not born in vain, he didn't say anything, he also knew what his father wanted, and he was afraid that he would enjoy all the blessings in the future.
The next day, Lu An returned to Xiaoshi Village with Lu Sanding and his wife to worship the so-called ancestors, and held a banquet in Xiaoshi Village, and after getting a bunch of praise and envious eyes from the villagers, he drove back to the city with the drunk Lu Sanding.
Before leaving, the patriarch of Xiaoshi Village grabbed him again, saying that Lu An's name was taken by him, and now he has become Wuling Taishou, so he should remember his kindness, and said that he has no other requests when he is old, but there is a nephew who is studying abroad and is talented, but no one appreciates that he can't be an official, let Lu An pull it, and go to him to be a petty official, in this regard, Lu An smiled bitterly, only said that he would go to Wuling in a few days, and let his nephew go to him in two days, so in response, the clan elder let go of his hand, He said that he would let his nephew come over in a few days.
After Lu An returned to the city and prepared all the matters for the trip, sure enough, a young man in his twenties came to the door, saying that he was introduced by Sun Fugui, Lu An thought for a long time, and then remembered that Sun Fugui was the name of the elder of the Xiaoshi Village clan, and he really introduced his nephew, since this is the case, it can't help but sell face.
"Sun Shao, see your lord!" As soon as the young man entered the door, he completely ignored Lu An's age, which was much younger than him, and respectfully saluted Lu An.
"Hmmm! Since you are the nephew of the clan elder, then I will recruit you as an official, but I can't guarantee what position you will take, it depends on your talent and learning, I ask you again, are you willing to go to Wuling with me to take up a post? Lu An nodded and asked.
"I'm willing, and I'll definitely help the adults!" The young man nodded confidently.
"Oh?" Lu An was a little surprised by this young man's confident attitude, looked up, and found that this young man actually had a military general template.
Sun Shao, the word is long
Basic Brawn: 40, Basic Intelligence: 82
Military general's plan: Turbulent stone sword, Diao soul lead
Strategist Skill: Reduces enemy morale
Characteristic: Capable official (should be good at government affairs, very good at governance)
"Found a treasure!" Seeing Sun Shao's attributes, the corners of Lu An's mouth showed a hint of curvature, originally thought that the clan elder wanted to seek a future for his juniors, and he didn't care too much, but he didn't expect that this Sun Shao was really talented, and he was also the most lacking talent in governance now, so he really came to the pillow when he was sleepy.
"What did you say?" Sun Shao heard Lu An's Nan Nan muttering to himself, and asked with some curiosity.
"It's fine!" Lu An's face remained silent, and he said: "Since you have such confidence, then when you come to Wuling, I will make you my county!" ”
"Thank you, sir!" When Sun Shao heard this, he was overjoyed, Juncheng was a subordinate official of Taishou alongside Changshi, with a rank of 600 stones, and it can be said that he was above 10,000 people under one person in Taishou Mansion, but he didn't expect that his uncle's face was so good, so that he would take on such a heavy responsibility as soon as he came to defect.
"Hmmm! You go down and get ready! We're going to leave soon! Lu An waved his hand and let him retreat. At this time, it was time for him to officially resign to Kong Rong.
When he came to the Taishou Mansion, Kong Rong seemed to have known that he was coming, and was sitting in the lobby waiting for him, while Wu Anguo stood aside, since he sacrificed his life to save Kong Rong last time, Kong Rong gradually trusted him more.
"Are you ready to go to work today?" Seeing Lu An walk in, Kong Rong asked softly.
"Yes, the lower officials have already packed up, and the things that the master has handed over have also been handed over, so he specially came to bid farewell to Lord Taishou!" Lu An arched.
"Hmm!" Kong Rong bowed slightly, suddenly took out a tiger talisman from his waist and threw it to Lu An.
"Before parting, I don't have anything to give you, Wuling's place is remote, far away from the imperial court, I'm afraid there are many people who don't obey discipline, at the beginning of your tenure, there was no credible person around you, take this tiger talisman and take away the three thousand elite sword and shield soldiers who pursued Dong Zhuo with you last time!" I've asked them to wait for you outside the city gates! ”
"Lord Taishou, this can't be helped, those are all elite armor soldiers, how dare the lower officials be so heavy by the adults!" Lu An hurriedly excused himself. Kong Rong's gift is really a bit big, he doesn't dare to accept it, just afraid that it will not go well when he takes office, and three thousand old soldiers who have seen blood actually throw it directly to him, which is impossible for any prince in the world!
"Haha, don't be such a daughter, I said let you take it away, I'm a literati, it's useless to ask for these elites, and since these sword and shield soldiers went to chase Dong Zhuo with you once, they have all their tails raised to the sky, and they don't accept the discipline of other generals in the army, you take them away, and return them to the official to save trouble!" Kong Rong waved his hand, deliberately revealing an expression that he had thrown the burden to Lu An.
"My lord loves me, and the lower officials will never forget!" Lu Anxin was moved, knelt down on one knee for the first time, and kowtowed to Kong Rong, with Kong Rong's kindness to him, he completely deserved to do this salute, although the two of them did not have the name of master and apprentice, but Kong Rong had the love of master and apprentice for him, and he would never forget this kindness in his life.
"It doesn't have to be like this, just remember to study hard in the future!" Kong Rong instructed.
"Remember the teachings of your lords! Then, Lord Taishou, Brother Wu, I'm leaving! Lu An bowed and said goodbye to them.
"Brother Lu, you're leaving, my brother doesn't have anything to give you, here is a thing left by my ancestor, saying that I want to keep it as a family heirloom, but I can't understand it, so I'll just give it to you." Before parting, Wu Anguo also threw something over.
Lu Anxin took it and looked at it, and his eyes suddenly straightened.
