Because she only stayed there for a moment, she felt that the whole person was going to be driven crazy by this absurd and cruel scene.

It is not without benefit to queuing up for execution, at least she immediately understood after walking around, Zhang Mian wants to cut off his head, and he has to wait until at least half a month later.

The executioner's physical strength is on the one hand, on the other hand, the Taishi's order is a little late, the weather is cold, everything is frosty, the land has become much harder than before, hundreds of corpses a day is already the limit of the throughput of this broken place in Chang'an, more can not be digested, sooner or later this mountain of corpses and blood will have to pile up at the gate of the palace.

Since she didn't have to worry about being beheaded in the past few days, she thought that she could hurry to the Duting Hou Mansion.

Although Lu Bu in the afternoon period will transform into a grumbling middle-aged social animal man from time to time, he never wastes his morning time. After using the morning food, you will either participate in the court meeting, or go to see your father-in-law Dong Taishi, or go to the barracks to run a lap, if you are fine, run back in the afternoon, and then get off the horse and unload the armor to become a social animal.

She went to the Duting Hou Mansion, and when she waited patiently, she suddenly remembered a question.

[I still have one last skill point, do I?] 】

[A sane person will not pin his hopes on negative negotiation skills. 】

What should I hope for? 】

[Say something valuable, let Lu Buming ......] Black Blade rarely interrupted his voice, and only reopened his voice after a while, [Do you want to put the last bit of skill into negotiations? 】

[Uh-huh. She looked at the door and confidently straightened her chest, "You wait and see! I not only want to convince Lu Bu, but I also want to transform Lu Bu so that he can also be smart and empathetic! 】

There are usually three residences of the Taishi, and he sometimes stays in the palace, sometimes goes to Yiwu, and occasionally stays in the Taishi's mansion.

But after he began to execute the courtiers on a large scale, he began to choose to stay in the Taishi Mansion as much as possible, but Dong Bai liked to play with several little princesses left by the Spirit Emperor in the palace, and went there more often than him.

This is very good, the emperor is still very young, he doesn't understand the affairs of men and women, and after a few years older, he can marry Dong Bai into the palace and become the new queen of the Han Dynasty.

Dong Zhuo, who had just dispersed from the Chang Dynasty, did not immediately indulge in the mellow beauty, he changed into more comfortable regular clothes, and was reading the letterhead sent by Yi Wu in the back room, which was densely written about how his young son was doing recently.

As we all know, Dong Taishi only has one son under his knees, and after dying early a few years ago, he didn't have this second son until last year, like a treasure like jade, and he loves him so much that he is at the tip of his heart. If it weren't for the fact that Chang'an was not peaceful, he categorically refused to send this child to Yiwu.

When he was reading the letter back and forth, the guard suddenly reported that Duting Marquis Lu Bu had come to pay a visit.

"Wu'er Fengxian," Dong Zhuo looked at Lu Bu who ran back after going home and changing into a brocade robe, "What's the matter?" ”

Lu Bu seemed to be a little troubled, and this kind of trouble suddenly made Dong Zhuo have some bad premonitions in his heart.

Ding Jianyang, the assassin of Bingzhou, had the reputation of "jealousy and hatred", Ding Yuan had a rigid personality, never said a word of flattery, and rarely even said a polite scene, and it was difficult to get along with anyone, so he used a little means to bring Lu Bu over.

I don't know if Lu Bu has been with him for too long, this righteous son sometimes speaks without his brain. At best, Lu Bu is honest and honest, he doesn't have a city government, he knows the depth of his people at a glance, and he doesn't have to worry about deceitful things; But in other words, if Lu Bu wants to say something nasty and sincere, no one can stop him!

Dong Zhuo knew that he needed Lu Bu and his merger army, so he was interested in making friends, and he had the kindness of father and son, but this does not mean that at his age, this status, he can listen to anything, and he can endure any anger!

Fortunately, Lu Bu opened his mouth, first for a trivial matter.

"Father-in-law has been reduced these days." He said, "My son has been bothering my father-in-law for the affairs of the three cities, and I am really uneasy. ”

The military dependents of the state army are all placed in the three cities, Dong Zhuo has heard of it, and when he heard him say this, his heart was relieved, and he patted the blanket, "Why be polite, sit down, and talk slowly to your father." He smiled, "Is it because the people of Bingzhou have suffered any grievances?" ”

Lu Bu nodded, "Yes." ”

The words "......" were a bit difficult to answer, but Dong Zhuo was used to Lu Bu's way of speaking, and asked with a pleasant face, "What is the matter?" ”

"The city captain went to the three cities to arrest a small official, and it is said that because he refused to report the neighbors, he confiscated his family property on the charge of being an unclear official, and was imprisoned in Shanglin." Lu Bu said, "Most of the neighbors of the little official are military dependents of the state, and the city lieutenant is usually not embarrassed, but he is afraid that someone in the court has a misunderstanding, so he came to ask his father-in-law for guidance." ”

Dong Taishi's heart that was hanging in the air slowly fell in Lu Bu's rare and reasonable words, and it was put back in his stomach. Of course, if the ministers came to talk about this matter, they would say it more tactfully, more touchingly, more confusingly, and more pleasantly, and they would not even hint that he was "someone" who had a "misunderstanding", but would first ask for the guilt of the little official and the people of the three cities, and then respectfully ask him for grace.

But considering that it was Lu Bu who came to complain, this was about to move Dong Zhuo.

"This matter will be thoroughly investigated by my father." He cleared his throat, "I will never let the state army be wronged." ”

So Lu Bu stood up respectfully and saluted, "Son, thank your father." ”

…… Why didn't he go?

Dong Zhuo's heart rose again, but he was still pleasant, "What else do you have to do?" ”

"The stepfather's initiative, the child thinks about it, and can't help but dissect the heart......"

"For my father to know your loyalty," Mrs. Dong immediately interrupted him, "but state affairs are planned by the minister, so my son doesn't have to bother." ”

"The father-in-law is kind-hearted, but there are many cool officials below who distort the laws of the court and discredit the reputation of the father-in-law......"

Dong Zhuo began to wave his hand, signaling that Lu Bu could go.

"Father-in-law......"

"Duting Hou has made meritorious contributions," Dong Taishi opened his mouth to the attendants standing on the side, "Reward Shu brocade, gold and silver, and ......"

Lu Bu finally stopped talking, bowed respectfully, and then got up and left.

Taishi's Mansion is also newly renovated, the snow falls in winter, and there are two plum blossoms in the yard that will not bloom, so quiet that people can forget their worries, and their hearts will also be quiet.

But Lu Bu walked to the yard and was indifferent when he saw the plum blossom, but thought about it and turned back.

"If the father-in-law is free, he might as well go to the army and walk around more often to deter that group of villains." Lu Bu said, "After all, the father-in-law is a brave general with two belts and two beards, and he can't be ...... left and right."

"Okay, good," Dong Zhuo was already exhausted, "I will work hard to ...... tomorrow as a father"

He stopped suddenly, feeling that he had said something very wrong.

Lu Bu stood under the porch and seemed to be stunned for a moment when he heard this, "My father-in-law can't even ride a horse now?" ”

“…… Shut up! Dong Zhuo got up from the blanket with his own strength this time, his chest rising and falling violently, "Er Yi go quickly!" ”

Lu Bu was still there, thinking about what his attendants had told him.

Lu Hangyu seemed to remind him emphatically not to provoke Dong Zhuo, to be cautious, to speak warmly and cordially, like a real son to his old father, to think about him wholeheartedly, and at the same time to show no traces......

For his father's sake, he suddenly understood.

"If you are struggling to ride a horse, you can also find a few geldings with a docile temperament......" Lu Bu said as he spoke, "My father-in-law uses that to practice ......"

When Dong Zhuo heard the words gelding, he felt the blood rush to his brain all of a sudden, and he struggled, snatched the halberd from the hand of the attendant beside him, aimed at the head of the righteous son, who was long and jade, majestic, and in a brocade robe, under the corridor, and threw it out with all his might——!

The cold light of the halberd flashed in Lu Bu's eyes, causing him to widen his eyes in disbelief, which were not usually very serious about work.

Chapter 56

It was getting dark, and the snow was getting heavier and heavier, and the muddy, wet, and bloody things were covered by this heavy snowfall.

She stood at the door, looking out from time to time, a little nervous in her heart, [Do you think there is a problem with my tutorial?] 】

[You've taught everything, what's the use of asking me now?] 】

[I don't ask you if you don't have nothing to do, you usually talk a lot, why don't you say it now. 】

Blackblade seemed reluctant to answer, but after a while he responded to her question, and with a hint of reassurance.

[Although Lu Bu is not very clever as a student, I think your thinking is good. 】

She thought about it for a moment, and felt that Blackblade's words didn't look like good words.

Sure enough, in the hazy wind and snow, Lu Bu came back on his beloved red rabbit horse.

"General!" She rushed forward with an expectant expression, "How is the Grand Master?" ”

Lu Bu glanced at her silently, didn't say a word, and walked straight in. Just when she felt that something was wrong, Lu Bu, who was walking up the steps, finally had a little reaction, turned his head to look at her, and gestured for her to follow in.

The handymen had already laid out the blankets in the room, heated the charcoal basin, lowered the curtains, and finally sprinkled a handful of spices in the incense burner.

The attendants on either side stepped forward to replace the general's coat, which was slightly damp with snow, so he sat down, ordered a warm wine to be served, and then held his back and chewed his ears with her with a serious face.

"I'm afraid this won't work out," he said, "and I usually feel that the Taishi's temperament is a little uncertain, and I should say it today." ”

"Could it be that the Taishi has a general?" She was also a little skeptical, "But the general provoked him in a quarrel?" ”

Lu Bu pondered for a while, "It shouldn't be. ”

“…… What exactly did the general say? She asked cautiously, "Can you relay it to the villain?" ”

Lu Bu touched his chin, "After I met the Grand Master, I said......"

……………………

There was a brief silence in the room, Lu Bu didn't speak, she didn't speak, and Black Blade didn't speak, they all pondered there.

[What he said is no problem,] she thought for a while, [Very polite, why did Dong Zhuo throw a halberd? 】

The Black Blade was silent.

"Now that the prices in Chang'an City are soaring, it must be a steer and a golden price, and the Taishi is a little reluctant to hear it?" She asked tentatively.

"I didn't think about this...... Lu Bu frowned and thought about it again, and suddenly slapped his thigh, "I should persuade him to ride a mule!" ”

The Black Blade remained silent.

"It's come to this, it's useless to just think about it," she persuaded, "Since the Taishi is already angry, let's think about what to do next." ”

If you want to please a person, it is nothing more than to do what he likes, he will say what he likes to hear, what he likes to eat, what he likes to play, what he wants, he will do what he wants. Regarding this point, Lu Bu was actually very confused, he probably knew that Dong Zhuo liked alcohol, but he didn't know what kind of wine he liked to drink, whether it was sweet wine or wine; He also knew that Dong Zhuo liked beauties, but he didn't know whether he liked big breasts and round butts or fine willow Fufeng, whether it was a girl from a Kanto family or a orchid from the Western Regions Wine Workshop.

As for what Dong Zhuo thinks in his heart and what he wants to hear...... That's, if he knew, would he have almost been hit by that halberd!

"Is there anyone around Dong Zhuo?" She pondered for a moment and asked.

“…… That group of Liangzhou people? Lu Bu squeezed out a strange look on his face, "You want me to ask them?" ”

"No, no, no," she hurriedly said, "The general should go to the Taishi's mansion to pay attention to inquire, don't want those Liangzhou generals, but those who want to serve the Taishi, the closer and closer the better, the better, and make inquiries, not only to pay attention to the Taishi's preferences, but also to say one or two for you when the Taishi is angry." ”

Lu Bu clenched his fist with his right hand and knocked it in the palm of his left hand, "Sure enough, you are a smart and reliable!" ”

Although she received such a compliment, the black blade still remained silent, she felt a little weak, and specially asked, [Why don't you speak? 】

[My eyes hurt. Black Blade said coldly.

…… Could it be that there is something wrong with her plan? Just as he was suspicious, an attendant hurried up.

"There is a messenger from the Taishi Mansion!"

Lu Bu, who was still muttering to her while drinking just now, jumped up from a cross-legged state in an instant, scaring her into a thrill!

The envoy brought Shu brocade, gold cakes, jade ear cups and other belongings, which were arranged in a row. Originally, it was already dark, and there was not much light in the room, which was immediately reflected by these golden and jade vessels.

"What does this mean by Father-in-law?" Lu Bu glanced at the envoy carefully, "Today I have displeased my father-in-law, how dare I accept another reward?" ”

"The master said that there is no overnight grudge between father and son," said the messenger with a smile, "Please be relieved, and there is no need to worry about what Du Tinghou said today." ”

Father and son are filial, they are all happy, Dong Zhuo not only rewarded these things after he was angry, but also announced that Lu Bu went to the house and said good words to consol him. And after two days, he issued an order, claiming that the New Year is approaching, in order to continue the well-being of the Han Dynasty and save a blessing, he asked the captains of Chang'an City to thoroughly investigate whether there are any unjust, false and wrongful cases, and those who have been killed can not take their heads back, of course, it is probably useless to take them back, but those who have not been killed have suspended the death penalty, and they will be checked clearly, and those who are not guilty will be put back, and those who are guilty will be punished according to the Han law.

It is estimated that the grain cannot be returned, but after the Taishi suspended the killing, there were really a few Taishou in Yongliang and Yongliang who finally dared to transport the grain with fear, so although the market still bartered, as long as you are willing to go bankrupt or even sell yourself as a slave in exchange for food, you finally don't have to starve to death for the time being.

But she still remembered that evening very clearly, it was already dark, and Lu Bu was sitting indoors, so only a little dim light on the desk could reflect his face.
