Chapter 22: Five Years Together
Four or five eunuchs surrounded Lu Bu and the others in the middle, preparing to start using force.
"Humph! It was just in time, I was in a hurry for the past two months, and I was worried about scratching my bones. Lu Bu pressed his fingers, making a "click" sound, looking like he was about to fight.
"Bul stand down!" Lu Chen stepped forward to block in front of Lu Bu, staring at the Yellow Gate Herald, "I'm sorry! My family Hongying is not interested in entering the palace, this time we are here to choose the queen and not to present beautiful women to the emperor, so we should have the right to withdraw, right? ”
"Hahaha!" The Herald of the Yellow Gate burst out laughing, "Exit? How many women are haunted by the dream of becoming the favorite concubine of the emperor's side, Lao Tzu gives you a chance, you actually tease me like this, if you want to enter, you can enter, if you don't want to enter, you won't enter? ”
Lu Hongying looked at Jia Xu in front of her and took a step forward, "I'm sorry I didn't think about it before." Rest assured, we'll find a way to compensate you. ”
"Compensation!" After hearing this, the Yellow Gate herald glanced at Na Jia Xu, "Okay! It's very simple, I just want the life of this little white face. ”
Lu Bu stepped forward and scolded: "Sister, don't bother to talk more with such a snobbish eunuch, he just wants to use you to gain favor in front of the emperor, and then he will take Feihuang Tengda with him." ”
"Stinky boy, I've seen you unhappy for a long time. Come on, on! "The Yellow Gate Herald is in the Imperial City behind him, of course he is not afraid of Lu Bu and these people.
"Ahh The five entourages around rushed up, Lu Chen's eyebrows moved at this moment, and at the two people who rushed to the front, the "bell bell" was two punches, and they were directly knocked to the ground.
Not to be outdone, Lu Bu took the initiative to rush forward, jumped and swept his legs, "Bang!" Kicked the two people behind him to the ground, and the remaining one didn't dare to step forward again.
The five entourages of the Yellow Gate Herald were originally weak and little eunuchs, and it was reasonable for Lu Bu, a person who practiced martial arts, to divide five by two.
"Good! You ......" the Yellow Gate herald was furious, turning to the soldiers defending the city and shouting, "There is a thorn ......"
"I am the commander of Liangzhou Thorn Dong Zhuo Wuwei, and I also work for the imperial court, please don't be embarrassed!" Jia Xu, who didn't say a word before, spoke now.
"Captain Wuwei of Liangzhou!" The Yellow Gate herald was shocked, and the assassin he had planned to call was swallowed alive.
What is the position of Lieutenant Wuwei? In fact, in terms of nature, he is at the same level as Lu Liang, but Lu Liang is nominally a general, but before that, he was only a captain of the Yue Cavalry, and he did the same thing as a county captain.
In the Eastern Han Dynasty, a three-level system of prefectures, counties and counties was implemented, with the state setting up an executive officer, that is, the history of the assassination, the county setting up the Taishou, and the county setting up the county order. Taking Liangzhou as an example, Dong Zhuo has seven counties under the banner of Jincheng, Xiping, Wuwei, Zhangye, Jiuquan, Dunhuang and Xihai, with a total of 44 county seats. Each county has a taishou, who is mainly responsible for the administrative affairs of a county, and another post is set up to manage the military and public security of the entire county.
Jia Xu reported himself to be the governor of Wuwei County before, and he was a local official with a rank of 2,000 stones, and he took a lot of money from the county Taishou and the history of the assassins, and this Huangmen herald made Yu Lu only rank 300 stones, although he worked in Kyoto, he didn't dare to compare at all.
Lu Chen stared at Jia Xu after hearing this, he didn't see it at all before, this guy and his eldest brother Lu Liang, except for the general's false name, actually belonged to the same level, it was simply hidden, and the most important thing was that he was so young.
Although the Yellow Gate Herald was afraid, he always felt that something was wrong, "You said that your Wuwei Captain, what evidence do you have?" ”
"Humph!" Jia Xu sneered, pulled Lu Hongying and turned around and left, "Dare to rob people at the feet of the Son of Heaven, this is the evidence!" ”
Seeing Jia Xu pull Lu Hongying away, the Yellow Gate herald was also shocked, but he was just in a hurry at the moment, but he didn't dare to call anyone anymore, in case this person was really a lieutenant of Wuwei, wouldn't he be tired of it? With the relationship and means of a rank and two thousand stone lieutenants, it would be too easy to clean up his little yellow envoy in Luoyang.
"Hey!" The herald of the Yellow Gate compromised, sighed and led his subordinates back to the palace in a gray manner.
Lu Bu looked at the departing Jia Xu, and praised with a smile, "It doesn't matter if this Wuwei Captain is true or not!" Jia Xu really deserves to be the third strategist in intelligence today! ”
Then Lu Chen and Lu Bu also followed, and the four of them gathered in a tavern and ordered a table of side dishes.
"Hey! Jia Gongzi, are you really the captain of Wuwei? Lu Chen poured wine for Jia Xu, and this attitude changed not for the better.
Jia Xu laughed and drank a glass of wine, "I'll tell you a story!" ”
Lu Hongying stared at Jia Xu, feeling that this man's charm was domineering!
Lu Bu looked at Lu Hongying, who was stupid with white eyes, and replied: "Okay! What is your great achievement? ”
"Huh!" Lu Chen sneered, and glanced at Lu Bu's kid, when Lu Chen wanted to tell stories to Lu Bu and brag about his heroic deeds on the battlefield, Lu Bu was asleep every minute.
"I'm not only the Captain of Wuwei, but also the grandson of Duan Cheng!" Jia Xu said with a smile.
Who is Duan Cheng? Liangzhou Wuwei people! This is a famous general of the Eastern Han Dynasty, who fought on the border for more than ten years, and finally pacified the West Qiang and destroyed the East Qiang. With merit to seal the Marquis of Xinfeng County, fief 10,000 households.
Lu Chen was overjoyed when he heard this, and stepped forward to pour wine again, "Are you really Duangong's grandson?" ”
"Hehe, it sounds fake! Uncle, you will be confused when you drink" Lu Bu glanced at Lu Chen with contempt, since he was a child, he already knew that his uncle was usually fine, but as soon as he drank wine, his brain felt bad.
"Hahaha!" Jia Xu laughed out loud and continued to tell his story, "Back then, I was promoted to filial piety in Wuwei, resigned due to illness and returned to my hometown, met a rebellious thief on the road, and was captured along with dozens of other people. I will say that I am the grandson of Duan Gong, don't hurt me, my family will definitely be ransomed with a lot of money. The thieves of the rebellion were all frightened, everyone else was killed, and I was the only one who was treated well, and finally swore brother to me! ”
When Jia Xu's story comes to this, I think it's funny, but I just think why are people in the world so stupid? The same is true of the Yellow Gate Herald before, and the same is true of Lu Chen, who casually pretended to be an identity, and everyone believed it for at least seven points!
That's right! This is Jia Xu, a low-key and ruthless poisoner. His temperament and appearance, his wisdom and words and deeds, all show a calm and cold appearance, and his words are full of magic, and his purpose is disguised by his own temperament, and it is impossible for people to distinguish between truth and falsehood. is a very simple example, if Lu Bu said that his grandson Duan Gong would definitely be killed by the thieves immediately; You can't deny that there are always some people in the world who are always so convincing because of their overall high quality.
"Haha, I kind of get it! You're a liar! Lu Chen patted his head, although it was half a beat slower, but he finally figured it out.
"Then will you lie to me?" Lu Hongying stared at Jia Xu, the man in front of her who had already decided to make a private decision for life.
Jia Xu drank the wine in front of him and said with a smile: "Yes!" I'll lie for the rest of my life! Would you like to? ”
Lu Hongying's face turned red after hearing this, she didn't feel drunk without drinking, and replied shyly: "Yes!" ”
"Haha, brother-in-law! I'll toast you," Lu Bu toasted Jia Xu.
"Okay" Jia Xu also said cheerfully, and then clinked glasses with Lu Bu to drink.
Lu Hongying's face turned even redder when she heard Lu Bu call Jia Xu brother-in-law.
"But I'm afraid I won't be able to go to my parents right now! Although I am not reused in Liangzhou, there are a lot of housework chores that I have to go back to deal with. Jia Xu replied at this moment.
Lu Chen laughed after hearing this, "It's okay! Our Lu family is a happy person, and there are not so many secular etiquette! You guy is clever, as long as I like it, my brother Lu Liang will like it too! Since Hongying is willing to follow you, then you just treat her well. ”
"Uncle Xie!" Lu Hongying was overjoyed, she was still worried that she didn't enter the palace, and her father and grandfather would be unhappy because of this, but now with Lu Chen's words, after all, it can be regarded as the approval of the elders, and her heart is also a lot more steady.
Jia Xu stood up and bowed to Lu Chen, "Uncle is also an elder, Jia Xu should be a parent's gift!" In the future, if I have the opportunity, I will come to worship again. ”
"Good, good!" Lu Chen is also happy, Hongying and Lu Bu, these children, he also watched them grow up, and Lu Chen has no heirs for some reason, so he has long treated and taken care of Lu Bu, Lu Hongying and the other three nieces as his own children.
"I'm sorry uncle, Jia Xu was invited by a friend, so he asked for leave to come to Luoyang, and now it's time to go back to Liangzhou." Jia Xu said goodbye.
"Big brother-in-law! In such a hurry? "Lu Bu actually has a lot of questions to ask.
"Hmm!" Jia Xu nodded.
"You took my sister away, I don't know when we will be able to meet, you are a big liar, you kidnapped my sister away, what if we can't find it!" Lu Bu also said, "No! We'll see you next time! ”
Lu Hongying thought for a while and replied, "What do you think of five years?" ”
"Okay! Five years! Jia Xu nodded.
"Good! See you in five years. Lu Chen also smiled.
However, Lu Bu didn't reply, frowning and thinking about the question on the side, thinking about whether he would have already gone to the battlefield to fight in five years?
