Chapter 272: Entering the palace to congratulate
With his back against the weeping willows, Diao Chan raised his face, and his eyes were as clear as a pool of water, staring at Lu Bu in front of him with tenderness.
Lu Bu was also like her, staring down at her pretty face as smooth as the full moon, with a bit of amazement and admiration in his eyes.
"You are so beautiful...... Holding Diao Chan's tender white hands, Lu Bu slowly raised his arm, lifted the hands of the two to his chest, his chest was almost attached to Diao Chan's body, and said softly: "Miss Bu Neng has been his wife, it is really a blessing for three lives!" ”
"General!" Looking up at Lu Bu, Diao Chan gently snuggled his head to his chest, his cheek was against Lu Bu's hand held in front of his chest, and said softly: "If the slave family can marry a general, they will have support in this life." I hope that the general will have pity on the slave family in the future......"
Letting go of Diao Chan's slippery hands, Lu Bu wrapped his arms around him, hugged Diao Chan's fragrant shoulders, held her in his arms, and said to her: "Miss is the attachment of Bu in this life, and she will protect Miss for life, and she will protect Miss ...... for life."
Snuggled in Lu Bu's arms, his pretty face was close to his broad chest, although the cheeks of the hard scaly armor Diao Chan were slightly painful, but Lu Bu's words full of tenderness and sweetness still made Diao Chan feel soft and numb for a while, and the whole person almost collapsed.
Feeling that Diao Chan's body in his arms was trembling slightly, Lu Bu reached out to pick her chin, raised her face, and stared at Diao Chan with a pair of eyes that had never shown tenderness when looking at others.
The soft chin was picked up by Lu Bu, Diao Chan raised his head, blushed shyly, and slowly closed his eyes.
The eyes are as clear as a pool of water, obscured by the white eyelids, and the long eyelashes hang low. Maybe Diao Chan was too nervous, although she closed her eyes, her eyelashes couldn't help but flutter slightly.
Staring at Diao Chan's flawless face, Lu Bu's heart felt as if it was about to pop out of his chest.
He lowered his head slowly, and slowly moved his lips towards Diao's red lips. Just when the fiery lips of the two were about to touch each other, Diao Chan, who felt that Lu Bu was about to touch her lips, suddenly opened her eyes, lowered her head, gently pushed Lu Bu's chest, and said to him softly: "General, don't be like this, you and me...... Not yet married......"
Diao Chan's actions made Lu Bu quite disappointed, and looking at Diao Chan, a trace of helplessness appeared on his face.
"The body of the slave family, sooner or later, is the general's ......" may have hurt Lu Bu, Diao Chan blushed, took the initiative to take Lu Bu's hands, and said to him softly: "When the general marries the slave family, the slave family will hand everything over to the general......"
Born as a daughter's family, Diao Chan said such explicit words, I don't know how much courage she mustered. She said these words with the shyness of a girl in a sweet voice, listening to Lu Bu's ears, Lu Bu only felt that the bones in his body seemed to be crispy, and the depression in his heart was swept away in an instant, and he hurriedly hugged Diao Chan tightly into his arms, as if he was worried that as soon as he let go, Diao Chan would give birth to wings and fly away in front of his eyes.
The wind swept softly through the trees, and the willows swayed gently. Lu Bu and Diao Chan hugged each other, feeling the softness of the breeze blowing by their side, and the two hearts seemed to be closer at this moment.
Since Wang Yun held a banquet to invite important ministers of the court in the name of celebrating his birthday, Chang'an City has fallen into a tranquility that has never been seen since the relocation of the capital. Not only were the people in the city afraid of the Xiliang army's search, and their homes were closed, but even the officials seemed to be afraid of this sudden search, and almost all of them closed their doors.
In the street market that has lost the hustle and bustle of the past, Xiliangjun is still searching for Liu Wei and others door to door. At the same time, Jia Xu was also anxiously looking for Lu Bu. He was confident that as long as he could find Lu Bu, he would definitely be able to persuade Lu Bu to change his mind and return to Dong Zhuo's account.
But Lu Bu seemed to have evaporated from the world, and Jia Xu searched for three days day and night, but there was no trace of Lu Bu. Jia Xu even had some doubts about whether Lu Bu had already left Chang'an.
was leading several Xiliang soldiers to walk on the street, trying to find out Lu Bu's whereabouts, a Xiliang soldier quickly ran towards Jia Xu from the end of the street, and when he approached, the soldier knelt on the ground with his fists and said to Jia Xu: "Qi Jia Zhonglang, Xiangguo invites Zhonglang to go to the house to talk!" ”
Hearing that Dong Zhuo invited him to go to the mansion to speak, Jia Xu was stunned for a moment, and then waved his hand to the soldiers who reported the news, and said to him: "I'm tired of returning to Xiangguo, and this general will go to Xiangguo's mansion!" ”
"No!" The soldier who reported the news answered, got up and ran quickly towards Xiangguo's mansion.
Seeing that the soldier had run away, Jia Xu waved to the several Xiliang soldiers who were following him and shouted to them: "Go to Xiangguo Mansion!" ”
The group rushed to Xiangguo's mansion in a hurry, and as soon as they arrived outside the Xiangguo's mansion, he saw a black-covered carriage parked outside the gate of Xiangguofu.
Next to the carriage stood two teams of heavily armed guards, each standing upright, tilting their heads slightly, staring ahead like sculptures.
Seeing the carriage, Jia Xu knew that something was wrong, and hurriedly ran towards the mansion.
As soon as he entered the Xiangguo Mansion, before he ran into the inner courtyard, he saw Dong Zhuo walking out of the inner courtyard accompanied by several officials.
"Xiangguo is ......" Seeing Dong Zhuo, Jia Xu hugged his fists and bowed, first saluted Dong Zhuo, and then asked him: "The car is ready, Xiangguo is not going to enter the palace?" ”
"Your Majesty has just recovered from a serious illness, and the ministers of the DPRK and China must all go to congratulate!" Seeing Jia Xu, Dong Zhuo waved his hand at him and said to him: "The prime minister asked Zhonglang to come, it was not an important matter, but to ask Zhonglang to accompany the prime minister to the palace for a walk." ”
Glancing at the several officials who accompanied Dong Zhuo, Jia Xu furrowed his brows slightly, and said to Dong Zhuo: "Wen Hou has not been found yet, King Hongnong is still in the city now, Xiangguo is gone, and he should bring more guards......"
"I know what it is." At the mention of Lu Bu, Dong Zhuo nodded and said to Jia Xu: "Zhonglang rode with him, and waited until he congratulated His Majesty on the recovery of the Holy Body, and then it was not too late to find Feng!" ”
Out of Xiangguo's mansion, Dong Zhuo got into the carriage, and Jia Xu got on a healthy horse behind the carriage and followed the team slowly towards the palace.
The Chang'an Imperial Palace was destroyed in Wang Mang's rebellion. Before Dong Zhuo moved the capital, he ordered someone to rebuild it. Although craftsmen have been working day and night to build the palace, the palace is still only partially built, and most of it is still waiting to be built.
Although most of them were not built, the palace was not comparable to ordinary official residences. Before the team arrived at the palace, Jia Xu, who followed behind the carriage, saw a majestic palace from a distance.
Looking at the past, the eaves in the palace are connected, the corner towers are lined up, and the black ink-like tiles shine with crystal light under the sunlight. The walls of the outer courtyard of the palace are evenly plastered with snow-white lime, and the white walls are particularly eye-catching in the contrast of a private house with blue bricks and green tiles.
As we approached the palace, a small river outside the palace flowed slowly, making a gurgling sound. Even though he was an official in Chang'an, Jia Xu didn't know where this small river came from and where it flowed. He only knew that since he came to Chang'an, this small river has been flowing outside the palace and has never dried up.
On the river, there are three stone bridges made of white jade. On the guardrails on both sides of the stone bridge, every two steps, a lifelike white jade flying dragon is carved, like a flying dragon that is about to fly into the air.
The royal hand set up the carriage, got on the white jade bridge, the team came to the main gate of the palace, three tiger ben guarding the palace greeted him, the leading officer raised his hand to stop the procession, bowed to the carriage and said: "Your Majesty is newly healed, the holy body is not in harmony, you can't stand the fright, please get off the car and enter the palace!" ”
Sitting in the carriage, Dong Zhuo frowned slightly. He has been in and out of the palace countless times, and he has never been stopped from the palace gates.
But after thinking about it, what Hu Ben said is also that Liu Xie is now seriously ill and newly recovered, and he really can't stand the fright. Although the government is in the hands of Dong Zhuo, at the moment he and Liu Xie are still in the relationship between the monarch and the minister, and it is not a rational move to forcibly break into the palace if the heroes of the world want to be subdued.
Thinking of this, Dong Zhuo turned over and jumped off the horse, and the officials accompanying Jia Xuyu also hurriedly dismounted and followed him.
When they arrived at the gate of the palace, Dong Zhuo, Jia Xu and other accompanying officials entered the palace gate first, and the guards who followed behind were about to enter, when the officer raised his hand to stop the guards and said to them: "Today is the courtiers congratulating His Majesty on his great recovery, in order to prevent His Majesty from being frightened, the soldiers in armor are waiting outside the palace!" ”
Having already entered the palace, he heard the voice of the tiger officer behind him, Dong Zhuo turned his head, glared at the tiger officer, and said angrily: "What are your intentions?" Why do you stop the Guardians of the Phase? ”
was asked by Dong Zhuo, and the tiger officer hurriedly turned to face him, clasped his hands into fists, and bowed deeply, but did not answer Dong Zhuo's question.
Dong Zhuo was about to get angry, and several courtiers such as Wang Yun and Yang Zhan, who were already waiting in the palace, quickly ran towards him.
When Dong Zhuo approached, Wang Yun and the others hugged their fists and bowed deeply to Dong Zhuo, Wang Yun said to Dong Zhuo: "The lower officials have been waiting for Xiangguo for a long time, and Your Majesty misses Xiangguo, but I miss it tightly!" ”
"When did Your Majesty miss your true appearance?" As soon as Wang Yun's words fell, Dong Zhuo grinned, raised his hand and waved at Wang Yun and the others, and said to them: "That's it, this prime minister is to congratulate His Majesty on his great recovery today, so I won't worry about these miscellaneous soldiers!" I don't want to bring no guards, in this palace, no one dares to touch the slightest! ”
"Xiangguo is broad-minded, I'm waiting for salty!" As soon as Dong Zhuo said this, Wang Yun bowed and saluted, and lost no time in patting him on the back.
Dong Zhuo, who was a sycophant, was very useful, he nodded, grinned, with a smile like Maitreya Buddha on his face, and strode very calmly towards the palace hall.
Following behind Dong Zhuo, Jia Xu always felt that the atmosphere in the palace seemed to be a little wrong, but he couldn't tell what was wrong, so he had to follow Dong Zhuo and walk towards the main hall with apprehension in his heart.
On both sides of the main hall, there are tiger ben with strong and stubborn clothes. Although the number of tigers is small, the soldiers are carefully selected warriors from each army.
The neatly arranged tiger ben stood on both sides, and Dong Zhuo, accompanied by Wang Yun and others, walked to the main hall unguarded. And Jia Xu, who was following him, would take a few more glances at the tiger soldiers on both sides from time to time along the way.
All the tiger soldiers raised their heads slightly, their chests held high, and the black feathers on their heads kept swaying in the wind, which added a bit of heroism to them.
"Xiangguo go slowly!" Dong Zhuo was walking briskly, and a person ran down the stairs to the main hall, and the person was still far away, so he raised his hand towards Dong Zhuo and shouted.
