Chapter 173: Jiang'er travels with her brother
At Diao Chan's suggestion, Lu Bu came to Kaifeng Mansion to bid farewell to Lord Bao in the early morning of the next day.
"I know you'll be here before you leave." Master Bao seemed to have a premonition and said with a smile.
"This is the first time that the villain has escorted the people in the palace to travel far away, but I don't know if the adults have any advice." Lu Bu asked sincerely.
"The person Tang Zhuangshi wants to protect this time is the long-lived biological mother, not the original purple gold pot and other dead things." Bao Zheng said thoughtfully, suddenly lowered his voice, and advised, "Escorted by the forbidden army, it is expected that there will be no trouble, but you need to guard against the inside." ”
"What do you mean by that, my lord?" Lu Bu was a little surprised and asked.
Bao Zheng didn't say anything anymore, just smiled.
Walking out of the mansion, Lu Bu rode back home first.
Since Cao Jiangxian had been wanting to go back to Qinglian Nunnery to visit Cihui some time ago, Lu Bu decided to take her with him this time.
Cao Jiangxian dressed up as a personal servant and followed Lu Bu's side.
When they arrived at the barracks, five hundred soldiers with swords and guns were already waiting in line, and the four samurai appointed yesterday were standing under their respective flags, which was quite a great enemy.
"This time there are strong men from Lao Tang, you need to be more careful along the way, and when you return safely, this general will definitely ask for credit for the strong men in front of Long Live ". Zhao Huan said to Lu Bu.
"General Lao Zhao remembers, and he will do his best to protect the concubine." Lu Bu said.
"The concubine is about to leave the palace, and I ask the strong man to take someone to wait in front of the palace gate." Zhao Huan waved his hand and signaled that Lu Bu could act.
Lu Bu raised the halberd in his hand.
The halberd made a "buzzing" sound in the wind.
The herald had already waved the flag in his hand and gave the order to go.
Although 500 people are not many, their momentum is amazing.
It was the first time Cao Jiangxian had seen such a mighty team.
The previous memories have long since dissipated, and Lu Bu's snow-white armor with the silver-white halberd in his hand is proudly the god who fell into the world.
Approaching the palace, the soldiers sent in advance ran back.
"General Qiqi Tang, Concubine Liu's Feng Yuan has left the Dongxuan Gate and is coming."
Lu Bu raised the halberd again.
The herald behind him waved his flag, and the soldiers instantly parted and stood on both sides of the road.
Lu Bu jumped off his horse and waited on the side of the road.
There were no pedestrians on the entire street for a long time, and the forbidden army sent by Zhao Huan in advance was lined up from the palace gate to the city gate, and even the defenders of the city gate were already lined up on both sides of the gate.
The sound of wheels sounded, and Concubine Liu's phoenix came slowly.
On both sides of the car, followed by ten palace maids who exuded a strong smell of rouge, and on the periphery of the palace maids were ten eunuchs dressed in uniform costumes. At the front of the car, ten samurai in heavy armor and long swords passed through the soldiers in two columns.
In the back of the car, there were ten samurai accompanying him.
Behind the ten samurai were a dozen wagons, each of which was followed by a samurai in addition to the driver.
Only then did Lu Bu know that although he led someone to escort the concubine along the way, he could only follow him from a distance, and there might be no chance to get closer.
Without Lu Bu's orders, the herald had already waved the flag.
The soldiers standing on both sides of the road knelt on the ground as the car approached, the spears standing on the ground were like huge steel nails, and the red helmets on their heads shone crimson in the sun.
The four warriors led by Lu Bu, when Concubine Liu's car was about to walk out of the crowd, ran to the front of the queue and lined up, forming a tight barrier in front of the ten court warriors, or acting as a pioneer.
Obviously, this was arranged by Zhao Huan in advance.
Lu Bu waved his halberd.
The crowd stood up.
In an instant, all the soldiers formed two impenetrable human walls, protecting Concubine Liu's vehicle.
Such a formation can only be possessed by royal people.
Probably worried that Concubine Liu would not be able to stand the bumps of the car, the team walked very slowly.
Moreover, after only a dozen miles away, a warrior came to Lu Bu's side.
"The concubine said, the brothers do not need to work so hard, but can rest here for a while."
Lu Bu frowned.
At such a speed, when will it be able to reach the boundary of Chuzhou.
Without waiting for Lu Bu to give the order, the herald behind him had already begun to wave the flag and order the soldiers to rest in place.
Lu Bu jumped off his horse.
Cao Jiangxian came to Lu Bu's side.
"If the concubine goes on like this, I'm afraid I won't be able to reach Chuzhou in half a month."
Lu Bu sighed.
"This concubine is not like ordinary people, she walks slower, and she is also for safety."
"With such a big momentum, dare you be afraid of bandits along the way?" Cao Jiangxian muttered in a low voice.
"The forbidden army guards, and it is expected to be fine." Lu Bu replied in Bao Zheng's words, but he still thought in his heart that Master Bao should be on guard against himself, and looking at this posture, this kind of worry is also superfluous.
In fact, the internal army that Master Bao was referring to was not just the forbidden army, but Lu Bu had not been able to understand it at this time.
At this time, in the back hall of Kaifeng Mansion, Lord Bao was sitting alone behind the table, on the table, side by side with the two Zhong's bottles.
The eight big characters, which were originally very vague, were very clearly displayed at the moment when the two wine bottles were next to each other.
According to Shopkeeper Hong's explanation, only after the two wine bottles appeared at the same time, would the secret hidden behind them be revealed, but Master Bao had studied it for a whole day, but he still couldn't see what was hidden in it.
His hands were familiar with every line of the decanter, and even the tiny pieces of sand hidden in the crevices were caressed by him.
Perhaps the secret behind this is just a rumor. Bao Zheng thought about it and stood up, intending to put it away for the time being.
At this time, Bao Cai walked in.
"Miss Yu Niang is here with Mrs. Tang."
Bao Zheng hurriedly put the wine bottle into the box and placed it under the table.
He knew that when Lu Bu left, Diao Chan would be in danger alone, and Chen Yuniang must have wanted Diao Chan to live in his mansion again.
As expected, Chen Yuniang really raised this question.
"Miss Yu Niang is extremely worried, this Dong Chun's thief is not dead, and we need to be careful to take precautions." Bao Zheng nodded.
"In that case, my father-in-law agreed." Chen Yuniang said.
Bao Zheng thought about it.
"Mrs. Tang is lonely living here alone, if she can be accompanied by a jade girl, it would be the best." Bao Zheng said.
"That being the case, the little girl is willing." Chen Yuniang also agreed very happily.
Only this time, not only Lord Bao, but even Chen Yuniang also miscalculated.
Dong Chun's coveting of Diao Chan has already changed from direct action to roundabout tactics, and now he is not only using Tang Xing'er, but also thinking about using another person-Concubine Liu.
After sending Chen Yuniang and Diao Chan away, Bao Zheng walked out of the back hall and instructed an errand officer who had been standing outside the door: "Quickly bring the shopkeeper Hong of Peide Antiques to see me." ”
The officer was stunned for a moment.
"Shopkeeper Hong has been convicted of death by you for killing Hou Ji, and is now on death row, and if you want to see him, you have to go in person."
Bao Zheng nodded as if he suddenly remembered something.
"Come with me."
