From head to toe, Lu Bu had traces of being baptized by fireworks, and the group of soldiers who followed him, even more so, many of their clothes were burned to shreds by the fire.

When such a group of people swaggered in front of a group of courtiers, needless to say, it was the best proof that they had fought hard to extinguish the fire in Yong'an Palace.

When Lu Bu led the crowd to turn over and get on their horses, gather together, ride their horses slowly, and approached the Upper East Gate, no one noticed that on the side of the dim avenue, there were already several carriages waiting, gathering together with the large group of people and horses, passing through the Upper East Gate, and galloping towards the camp of the Bingzhou Army.

At this time, a group of courtiers were still gathered at the gate of Yong'an Palace, and even if someone looked here out of curiosity, they would not be able to see the situation around the Upper East Gate at all because of the distance and the darkness of the night.

It wasn't until the brigade galloped into the camp that Lu Bu breathed a sigh of relief from the bottom of his heart. After tossing for so long, it was already the middle of the day, even in the big camp, Lu Bu still seemed very careful, in addition to ordering Song Xian to lead people to guard everywhere, he personally led three hundred personal soldiers to guard closely, and then drove the four carriages to a camp behind the big tent of the Chinese army.

Lu Bu turned over and dismounted, handed over Fang Tian's halberd to his own soldiers, strode to the carriage, and said softly: "This is the camp in the east of the city, you can get off!" ”

The curtain of the car was lifted, and the first to come out was the palace maid who stroked the qin that day, in order to avoid being recognized, she was wrapped in a big curtain from head to toe, even if there were lanterns lit around, even if Lu Bu was close, it was difficult to see her face, let alone other distant soldiers.

The two palace maids got out of the car and stood left and right, and after a while, the Empress Dowager He got out of the car, she was also wrapped in a big coat, but she just glanced deeply at Lu Bu, who was standing and bowing. That is, with the support of the palace maid, he entered the camp tent.

Lu Bu followed in and said to the two palace maids: "Tang Ji is still unconscious, take her to the tent of King Hongnong to rest." ”

The two palace maids looked at the Empress Dowager He, saw her put down the big hood on her head, nodded in agreement, and turned around to leave.

There were only two people left in the tent, Lu Bu and Empress Dowager He, Lu Bu unequivocally landed on one knee and said loudly: "Minister, Marquis Li Ting." General Zhengbei, led and annexed the state Mu Lu Bu, and saw the Queen Mother! ”

"Lu Qing is flat!" Empress Dowager He held her hands weakly and said softly, "The mourning family and the emperor can get out of danger this time." Lu Qing has made great contributions, and there is no need to be polite. Sometime. The safety of the mourning family and the emperor requires Lu Qing to worry a lot. ”

Lu Bu thanked him and got up, and replied with a smile: "The Queen Mother can rest assured, in the minister's camp, even if the hussar general comes in person, he will not dare to act recklessly." It's just that Luoyang is not a place to stay for a long time, once the matter is over, the minister will lead the army north to return to Jinyang, and respectfully invite the queen mother and the king of Hongnong. Go together. ”

"Well, Lu Qing has a heart, the mourning family has long heard that the desert grassland is magnificent, and I can see it with my own eyes in this life, this wish is enough."

Lu Bu bowed, his face was solemn, and said: "The minister respectfully receives the decree of the Queen Mother, and he must reorganize the soldiers and horses, expel the Xianbei alien race as soon as possible, and subdue the Hetao. ”

"Huh?!"

Empress Dowager He exclaimed in a low voice, stretched out her hand to cover her small mouth, her eyes were smart, like a little woman who suddenly lost her words, she obviously didn't expect that there would be such a troublesome thing if she wanted to see the landscape of the desert grassland.

Lu Bu grinned and replied: "Although the Queen Mother can rest assured, Hetao is the hometown of the Han Dynasty, but because of the rebellion of the moths and thieves, it was only occupied by the Xianbei aliens who went south. ”

"I see!" Empress Dowager He smiled, under the lamp and candle, her smile at the moment seemed relaxed and very sweet, and Lu Bu was stunned, and she hurriedly lowered her head and covered it up a little.

Unexpectedly, Empress Dowager He burst out laughing at this time, which made Lu Bu's heart itch, but if he looked up at this time, he always felt a little too dissolute.

At this moment, Lu Bu heard the crisp and gentle voice of the Empress Dowager He: "In the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty, Lu Qing is not surprised, and he is brave, he has mentioned the mourning family before, and now, he does not hesitate to defile himself to save the mourning family and the emperor in dire straits, Lu Qing is here, and he is worshiped by the mourning family!" ”

Lu Bu was shocked, raised his head, and saw that the Empress Dowager He was about to salute Yingying, and in a panic, he hurriedly stepped forward, held the arms of the Empress Dowager He, and said continuously: "I can't do it, I can't do it......"

The tentacles are warm, silky and very smooth, Lu Bu only woke up at this time, this move seems to be a little inappropriate, but the Empress Dowager He still insists on worshipping, he has to use a little force in his hand, the Empress Dowager He is up, and then let go of his hand, took a step back, and said: "Saving the Empress Dowager and King Hongnong is the duty of the minister's loyalty, and Lord Situ has also contributed a lot to this matter, oops, the minister forgot about it, and the staff Min Gong sent by Lord Situ has been waiting in the camp to confirm the safety of the Queen Mother and King Hongnong." ”

Empress Dowager He's face was slightly flushed at this time, and she nodded and replied: "Okay, mourning the family and seeing him, with the heart of An Situ." ”

Lu Bu turned around and walked out, but after a while, he turned around, followed by Situ Wang Yun's staff Min Gong.

King Hongnong and Tang Ji have not yet appeared, but the Queen Mother is here, of course Min Gong does not doubt him, respectfully worship the Queen Mother, and sigh with emotion: "The Queen Mother and the King of Hongnong Jiren have their own natural appearance, and they have to get out of danger at this moment, which is really the blessing of thousands of Li people in the world. ”

Although the Empress Dowager He nodded yes, her face was a little confused, and Lu Bu explained with a smile: "Bohai guards Yuan Shao, as a Han minister, but he did this vicious thing, spread it to the world, and borrowed the hand of the hussar general Li Dao, intending to poison the Empress Dowager and King Hongnong. With the help of Lord Situ, he made a plan, concealed the world, and rescued the Queen Mother and King Hongnong. It's just that now Li Dao and the rest of the party control the court, and Lord Situ and other loyal ministers are still under the authority of Li Dao and the rest of the party, so although the Queen Mother and King Hongnong are out of danger, they cannot disclose their identities for the time being, so as not to make Li Dao and the rest of the party elders ashamed and angry, which is not conducive to Lord Situ and other loyal ministers. ”

"Oh, I see!" Empress Dowager He suddenly realized, immediately thought of something, looked at Lu Bu, and asked: "In this case, Li Dao and the rest of the party should put the responsibility for the fire in Yong'an Palace and the death of the mourning family and the emperor on Lu Qing, so that Lu Qing can ......."

Speaking of this, Empress Dowager He was already choked up, because she had already thought that she and the emperor Hongnong would not be able to disclose their identities for a day, and Lu Bu would not be able to get rid of the charge of killing the monarch for a day.

Min Gong's face was also gloomy, with gratitude, and said to the Empress Dowager He: "So that Jun is willing to take great risks, seek skin with the tiger, rescue the Queen Mother and King Hongnong, and now in order to maintain Lord Situ and other loyal people, he does not hesitate to risk being scolded by the people of the world to defile himself, this move is enough to show that Jun is full of loyalty and righteousness, and he is dedicated to my Han." ”

Lu Bu hahadaxiao, very pleased: "Those who do great things, regardless of informality, compared with the safety of the Queen Mother and King Hongnong, as well as the safety of loyal and righteous people such as Lord Situ, it is very worthwhile for the minister to bear the charge of being scolded by the people of the world." Just wait for Lord Situ and other loyal people to return to the court to clear the court, at that time, the Queen Mother and King Hongnong appeared, and the charges on the ministers can be washed away. Sir, please go back and tell Lord Situ, and the state side, there is no need to worry, but on the Luoyang side, I hope that Lord Situ should be careful of Li Dao and the rest of the party. ”

Min Gonglian claimed that it was, and heard the sound of a rooster crowing outside the tent, knowing that the sky was about to shine, he immediately bid farewell to the Empress Dowager He, and turned around to leave the account accompanied by Lu Bu.

Outside the tent, the night was at its darkest before dawn, and the lanterns hanging on the main roads of the camp were also much dimmer after being lit all night. However, when the two of them lifted the tent and looked up at the sky, there was a glimmer of light in the east, which was a harbinger of the dawn.

Before boarding the carriage, Min Gong stopped, stepped on the pedal with one foot, landed on the ground with the other, half-turned, and asked Lu Bu in a low voice: "When does the envoy intend to lead the army north to return to Jinyang?" ”

Lu Bu did not hide it, and replied frankly: "In the past few days, as soon as the things promised by the hussar general Li Dao are in place, he will lead the army back to the north. ”

If there were outsiders present, they would definitely have feelings for Lu Bu's desperate way of asking for money, but Min Gong was different, he was a talented man himself, and he had been training by Wang Yun's side for many years, and handled some secret affairs for him, as soon as Lu Bu spoke, he grasped the intention of this move, nodded and praised: "Well, this is very good, so as not to arouse the vigilance and speculation of Li Dao and the rest of the party." ”

Lu Bu just smiled, and then said earnestly: "Mr. will return to the state on another day, don't forget to inform the next one." In addition, Mr. is in Bingzhou, can there be a suitable talent to recommend? Don't hide it, sir, in the next ruling state, the brave generals who lead the troops are just returned, but this scribe is an official, but there is a shortage of them. ”

"Haha......" Min Gong was happy, but he was afraid that this was already outside, and his voice was not so open, "So that the king has Cai Weng in charge, how can the scribes be in short supply." Well, there are indeed a few people in the tribute, and there are some children and nephews, who can be used by the envoy, and wait for the tribute to repair a few letters, so that before the monarch returns to the north, the tribute will come to see again. ”

Lu Bu was overjoyed, and thanked him repeatedly, what he said about the shortage of talents, it was really not a humble word, but it was true, although the talents recommended by Min Gong were not necessarily as talented as him, but even if they were only slightly higher than ordinary scribes, it was also an unexpected joy for Lu Bu.

After saying this, Min Gong got into the car, the carriage started slowly, and went away, Lu Bu watched the carriage disappear along the avenue and into the overlapping tents, only then did he breathe a sigh of satisfaction with a smile.

Although he hadn't slept all night, he was in good spirits and in a particularly comfortable mood, watching the dawn of the east gradually appear, from a line to a piece, and then to a small half of the sky, dispelling the darkness shrouded in the earth, and reappearing a faint light of day.

This is a sign that the dawn is approaching, Lu Bu believes that he will work hard, do not hesitate to defile himself, rescue Empress Dowager He and King Hongnong, even if for a relatively long period of time, the reputation will be greatly damaged, but this move is still worth it, and it is even more worthwhile. (To be continued......)
