Chapter 64: Confidant
Cao Cao!
A name immediately flashed in Ding Chen's mind.
Cai Yan is right, he is unwilling to take responsibility, but in this world, there are many people who are willing to take responsibility.
For example, Brother is one of them......
I heard that he is doing very well now, gaining a firm foothold in Dongjun, and recruiting a lot of people, which can be described as a strong soldier.
Moreover, he is willing to meddle!
This is very important.
Cao Cao is the kind of person who is very willing to take care of things, and often takes the common people in the world as his own responsibility, opens his mouth and closes his mouth.
Perhaps, he will enjoy accepting this task very much!
Thinking of this, Ding Chen suddenly brightened, and his spirit was also lifted a lot.
"Sister Cai, thank you!"
He held Cai Yan's pair of soft wattles and said happily.
It's just that Cai Yan blushed...... She wanted to pull her hand out, but for some reason, she was a little reluctant. So, she lowered her head and let Ding Chen hold her hands, and there was a trace of sweet shyness in her heart.
"What are you doing?"
Mrs. Ding was also a little concerned when she learned that Ding Chen was unwell.
When she was done with things, she came over to visit, but she didn't want to see Ding Chen holding Cai Yan's hand, and Cai Yan blushed even more and lowered her head.
"Uh......"
Ding Chen was stunned.
And Cai Yan blushed with shame, sighed, pulled out his hand, and rushed out of the door.
"Sister, here's the thing, I didn't understand some things just now, but fortunately, Sister Cai solved my confusion for me, and I was excited for a while, so I lost my temper."
Ding Chen hurriedly explained, but after the words came out, he felt that his explanation seemed to be a little lacking.
However, Mrs. Ding didn't care, but looked at Ding Chen with a smile and nodded again and again.
"I understand, I understand!"
"Sister, you don't understand ......"
Looking at Mrs. Ding's smile, Ding Chen knew that there was trouble.
He hurriedly spoke, but was stopped by Mrs. Ding waving her hand, "My Xiaochen has grown up, how can I not understand?"
Okay, if you don't have anything to do, I won't disturb your rest. ”
After saying that, Mrs. Ding turned her head and left.
Ding Chen chased to the door, his mouth open, but he couldn't speak.
When you think about it, it seems a little unclear.
Besides, Sister Cai's little hands are so soft and comfortable to hold...... Well, and Sister Cai laughs, it's also beautiful!
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
The rainy season in late spring passed quietly.
With the arrival of the scorching summer, there have been some changes in Chang'an City.
Especially after the formation of Hu Benlang was completed, Dong Zhuo's side also changed.
Previously, when Dong Zhuo went in and out, he must be accompanied by Lu Bu.
Not only that, but even in the Prime Minister's Mansion, Lu Bu never needed to report when he entered and exited, and he could enter and exit at will. But now, when Dong Zhuo travels, the people around him have become Ding Chen. Not only that, Lu Bu wanted to enter the Prime Minister's Mansion, and he was not so casual.
The guards of the entire Prime Minister's Mansion have gradually changed from the previous Flying Bear Army to Tiger Benlang.
Ding Chen seems to have been regained by Dong Zhuo, and most of the time, he will accompany Dong Zhuo by his side, even without leaving an inch.
This made Lu Bu even more dissatisfied!
The weather is getting hotter and hotter, but Lu Bu seems to be getting more and more idle.
On this day, he took Wei Xu and Hou Cheng out to eat and drink.
Maybe it was because of the upset, so I ate too much wine, so I smoked and walked out of the wine shop with Wei Xu, ready to go home.
"Wen Hou stays."
Just as Lu Bu was about to get on the horse, someone suddenly called him from behind him.
Lu Bu squinted his drunken eyes, and saw that next to the wine shop, an old man in white walked over quickly and grabbed the reins of the red rabbit horse.
"Who are you, dare to block my way, don't you want to die?"
"Wen Hou is angry!"
The old man hurriedly said: "It's my master who wants to invite Wen Hou to eat and drink, and also invite Wen Hou to appreciate the light." ”
"Hahaha, you old horseman, there are more people in Chang'an City who want to invite me to dinner...... If I say yes, won't I be able to finish drinking all year round? Okay, go back and tell your master, I got my heart, and I'll talk about it another day. ”
After speaking, Lu Bu wanted to pull away the old man's hand.
But when his hand touched the old man's palm, he couldn't help but change his face.
The old man's hands, as if cast from pig iron, were covered with calluses, and he was by no means idle.
In this case, there are only two possibilities!
The calluses on his hands are either caused by long-term farming or martial arts.
Obviously, the old man in white in front of him is definitely not a farmer.
The old man smiled slightly, and said softly: "My master is an old Marquis of Wen, not an outsider...... It's just that on this street, it's really hard to mention the name, and I ask Wen Hou to forgive me. ”
"Old?"
Lu Bu's eyes flashed, and he looked at the old man thoughtfully.
And behind him, Wei Xu and Hou Cheng had already come on horseback and said loudly, "Wen Hou, what happened?" ”
Lu Bu glanced at the old man, and then said, "It's nothing, I met an old friend."
Go back first, and I'll meet my old friend...... By the way, after you go back, don't forget to go to Weiyang Palace to be on duty. ”
That's right, the current Lu Bu, as well as his Flying Bear Army, are placed in Weiyang Palace.
In the past, it would have been a good errand.
Guarding Weiyang Palace is Yu Linlang's task. However, due to the ruins waiting to be rebuilt, Yu Lin Lang has long ceased to exist, so it has become an errand for the Flying Bear Army. This is the best opportunity to get in touch with the emperor, and it is easy to get promoted.
But now......
I'm afraid of ten Han emperors, and I can't compare to one Dong Xiangguo.
Lu Bu followed the old man in white and walked along the street, and after turning into an alley, he came to the door of a house.
The old man pushed open the door, bowed down and said, "Wen Hou, please come inside." ”
Lu Bu frowned slightly, and walked into the courtyard.
He also wanted to see who the person who claimed to be his old man was.
"Wang Situ?"
In the courtyard, there are two wine tables, each with a dish.
On one table, the delicacies of the mountains and the sea are full of delicacies, while on the other table, it is very light and mostly vegetarian.
An old man, sitting behind the vegetarian table, saw Lu Bu, and beckoned: "Feng Xian, it's just right to come, this wine has just been taken out of the ice cellar, and it is the most delicious to drink at this time." ”
That old man is none other than Situ Wang Yun.
After Lu Bu walked into the house, the old man in white closed the door and waited outside.
And Lu Bu frowned thickly, feeling a little strange in his heart.
He and Wang Yun do know each other, but if you want to talk about the old days, they can't be counted!
"Situ, why are you so excited to invite me to have a drink?"
"Haha, I heard that Feng Xian loves Western Regions wine the most, and I just got a few jars of high-quality Western Regions wine here, so I want to ask Feng Xian to taste it first.
Come on, come on, take a seat first.
He is old and old, and he can't eat big meat, but Feng Xian is a good age, so he must be able to satisfy his appetite. ”
Wang Yun's gentle tone also made Lu Bu relax his vigilance.
When he sat down, he saw a jar of wine beside the table.
There was still a layer of frost hanging on the jar, which turned into water marks and slipped down the jar.
Lu Bu was also polite, so he opened the mud seal.
The pungent aroma of wine hit his face, and he couldn't help but say loudly: "Good wine!" ”
He hurriedly poured the wine into the glass, and saw that the wine was red in color, and it looked particularly attractive.
Lu Bu didn't say a word, he drank it all when he picked it up, then put down the wine glass and said to Wang Yun: "Situ, it's really good wine." ”
"Hahaha, I knew that this wine would be Feng Xian's satisfaction.
If you like it, I still have a few altars here. When you leave, take it with you...... Anyway, I'm not used to eating this wine, so I'd better give it to someone who knows the goods. ”
Lu Bu was busy: "In this way, Bu is welcome." ”
As he spoke, he ate three glasses in a row, and the cold wine also dispelled the original wine.
Lu Bu was much more sober, holding the wine glass in one hand, squinting at Wang Yun, and sneering: "Situ suddenly invited me to drink, could it be something?" ”
"Hehe, it's not like there's anything to say, it's just that every time the prime minister's house has a meeting in the past two days, I don't see Fengxian, so I miss it a little."
Lu Bu's face sank, and his tiger eyes closed slightly.
"Situ, do you want to laugh at a certain family?"
"Feng Xian, where are you talking about this?"
Wang Yun hurriedly waved his hand again and again, showing an innocent expression and said: "I really don't know what happened, I always see Ding Ziyang accompanying the prime minister, so it's a little strange." I remember, before that, wasn't it always Bongxian who accompanied the prime minister?
A few days ago, the old man was unwell, so he didn't go to the prime minister's house to discuss matters.
As a result, he recovered in the past two days, and when he went to the Prime Minister's Mansion again, he found that the people on duty at the Prime Minister's Mansion were all unfamiliar faces, and he didn't see Feng Xian...... Feng Xian, didn't you evil the prime minister? If that's the case, I will show this old face and say a few kind words in front of the prime minister. ”
Lu Bu's heart couldn't help but feel warm.
Although Wang Yun was not familiar with it, he was quite moved by this enthusiasm.
Originally, Lu Bu didn't want to say anything, but when Wang Yun hooked him like this, he couldn't hold back the grumbling in his stomach anymore.
"Situ, now that the prime minister likes Ding Chen more, Bu has long lost his favor."
"Huh?"
Wang Yun was taken aback and showed a surprised expression.
"How so?
I admit that Ding Chen does have some ability, and the battle of Xingyang is indeed a meritorious achievement.
But when it comes to bravery, how can he be compared with Feng Xian? Not to mention, if there was no Fengxian Tiger Prison to dominate the group that day, he Ding Ziyang was in Xingyang, I am afraid that it would not be so easy to make meritorious contributions? Besides, what a hero Fengxian is, as early as the time of Wuyuan, there is the name of the tiger, those Hu people, hearing the name of Fengxian, do not hug their heads and run away, they are the real heroes of the world.
Thinking that at the beginning, when the prime minister entered Luoyang, if it wasn't for Fengxian, how could he quickly stabilize the situation?
Ding Ziyang is young, in my opinion, he is just lucky, and he is just famous, how can he compare to Fengxian true hero? ”
After saying something, Lu Bu's heart was full of joy.
He suddenly had a feeling of confidant to Wang Yun, and couldn't help crying: "What Situ said is extremely true.
The cloth may have a loss, but he is loyal to the prime minister.
And now, the prime minister only favors Ding Ziyang, but he transferred me and the Flying Bear Army to guard Weiyang Palace, and Bu has suffering in his heart but has nowhere to tell.
However, Situ is a man who understands!
With Situ's understanding, the boredom in Bu's heart must also be relieved...... Come on, come on, and salute Situ with a cup, and drink the cloth first! ”
As he spoke, he raised his glass and drank.
On the side, Wang Yun, with a flash of joy in his eyes, picked up the wine glass, took a sip of wine, and the corners of his mouth immediately skimmed.
"Feng Xian doesn't have to hold grudges, the old man thinks that Cheng still values Feng Xian.
Maybe it's just a momentary misunderstanding, or maybe it's taken advantage of by Xiaoxiao. In this way, tomorrow I will go to the Prime Minister's Mansion and ask the Prime Minister for mercy.
I believe that the prime minister will give the old man some face. ”
"Ah, that's so, thank you Situ!"
Lu Bu filled another glass of wine and drank it all.
In his opinion, with Wang Yun coming forward to say something, the misunderstanding between him and Dong Zhuozhi is not difficult to solve.
However, this old man is really considerate! Lu Bu looked at Wang Yun, and it became more and more pleasing to the eye, so he completely relaxed and exchanged cups with Wang Yun.
