Chapter 61: Luoyang City
"Lu Fengxian. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info"
Lu Bu reported his name, short and clear, this is the most basic courtesy between people, not to mention that this young man who calls himself 'Huangfu Jue' has just helped him.
Hu Che'er, who was following behind Lu Bu, leaned his head forward, and said a lot of things complacently: "Hu Che'er of the Sprinkle family, with the ability to bear 500 catties, travel 800 miles a day, you can capture the enemy's head alone when you enter, and you can retreat with one person and thousands ......of enemies."
Lu Bu has long been accustomed to Hu Che'er's words, if Hu Che'er is really as powerful as he said, can he still be caught by him at the Turbid River Ferry?
Hu Che'er was born with a fierce appearance, and many people avoided him.
Seeing that the young man beside him listened quite seriously, Lu Bu chuckled and said, "If you only talk about bragging, he will definitely be ranked first in the world." ”
Huangfu Jue was stunned for a moment, and then laughed out loud, but Ah Yue was stunned when she heard it, and listened to Hu Che'er's various 'heroic deeds' with relish.
"Your son-in-law has red lips and white teeth, fine skin and tender meat, why does he look like a girl." Hu Che'er muttered quietly.
Ah Yuexing glared at Hu Che'er, and said angrily: "You are not allowed to talk about my son-in-law like this." ”
Hu Che'er had a thick face, and said to the little scholar again: "Otherwise, let me tell you the story of the eight hundred thieves in Mangyang Mountain alone?" ”
Ah Yue, who has never been out of Luoyang, and even rarely goes out of the house, gave a sweet 'um'.
The two servants chattered all the way in the back, Lu Bu wanted to laugh in his heart, Hu Che'er's stories, as soon as he heard them, he knew that he made them up, and this scholar named 'Ah Yue' actually believed it naively.
"Brother Lu is here to buy an official in Luoyang?" Huang Fu Jue, who had walked a short distance, couldn't help but ask.
Lu Bu was shocked when he heard this, looked at Huangfu Juehu and asked, "Buy an official?" ”
"Can you buy it from your mother's office?" Hu Che'er stepped forward, with an expression on his face like a curious baby.
"You don't know?"
Looking at the stunned expressions of the master and servant, Huang Fujue knew that she had guessed wrong, she saw that Hu Che'er was dressed luxuriously, and she had the appearance of a nouveau riche, and thought that the two of them came to Luoyang to buy officials, so she explained for the two of them, "When today's son has a special residence in Xiyuan, he sells officials publicly, tens of millions of dollars for the public, five million dollars for the secretary, and other official positions have their own clearly marked prices for a period of one year." ”
After hearing this, Hu Che'er slapped his thigh suddenly, his eyes were full of brilliance, and he laughed: "Okay, I like this emperor, I will get some money when I go back and buy a big official to be a big official." ”
Lu Bu's face is not very good-looking, he has never heard of such a ridiculous thing as selling officials in Bingzhou, they are located at the border, they only know how to kill the enemy on the battlefield, if they can become generals one day, it will be enough for them to wake up from their sleep with a smile.
Millions of dollars is a huge amount.
As a school captain, Lu Bu's official salary barely reached 100 stones, and it was only more than 9,000 yuan a year in exchange for money, and if he wanted to buy Sangong, he had to go at least a thousand years without eating or drinking to save it.
Recalling the arrogance of those officials and eunuchs just now, their conduct was inferior and domineering, but with the background behind them, which one would not have a worry-free career in the future, and Lu Bu, who had never considered these things, sighed unprecedentedly, "If you fight to the death and fight on the bloody battlefield, it is to protect such a country, and the soldiers of the border will be chilled when they know it." ”
For some reason, hearing the frustrated tone of the man in front of her, Huang Fujue was a little distressed, she didn't know how to answer Lu Bu, she could see that Lu Bu wanted to serve the court and the country in his heart, but now he was obviously very disappointed.
Luoyang City is more than 20 miles from east to west, and the city gate wall is engraved with two big characters of 'Luoyang', which is magnificent, simple and solemn.
After a simple check by the gatekeeper, Lu Bu easily entered Luoyang City.
Hu Che'er has carried so many murders, and all the counties in the north are wanted, and he can still pretend to be okay and swagger into Luoyang City, and his courage is really not small. If someone finds out, you'll be caught in the net.
The streets in Luoyang City are very wide, all of them are made of high-quality stone bricks, at least three times wider than those counties in the state, and the buildings on both sides are covered with green glazed tiles, and the red lacquered bricks are piled up, numerous and solemn. However, there are only a few hundred pedestrians on such a wide street, which is particularly deserted and quiet.
Hu Che'er led Lu Bu's red-maned horse, smashed his mouth twice, and his tone was a little lost, "This imperial capital Luoyang City is nothing more than that, I thought it could be so prosperous." ”
Lu Bu's face was also full of doubts, the Shangdang Taiyuan and other counties that he passed through on the way were much more popular than Luoyang City.
Huang Fu Jue saw the puzzled expressions of the master and servant, and knew that it was the first time they came to Luoyang, and explained with a light smile: "We came in from the valley gate, and the northeast corner of the North Palace is in front of us. ”
Huang Fu Jue's explanation made the master and servant suddenly open, but think about it, how can the capital of the dignified Han Dynasty be compared to the counties and counties of the state.
As Huang Fujue walked, he acted as a guide for Lu Bu, talking about the layout of Luoyang City, the various city gates, and the differences between the north and south palaces.
She was born in a family of generals, and her bones reveal the unique competitiveness and jealousy of a man. When Lu Bu stood up for an old farmer he didn't know, and did not hesitate to fight with Yang Ting and others, Huang Fujue had already recognized Lu Bu in her heart, so she would come to the rescue when Lu Bu was besieged.
Otherwise, with her vision, even if she is a first-class child of a family in Luoyang City, she doesn't even bother to say hello.
"By the way, Brother Lu, you haven't said where you want to go?" Huang Fujue asked.
Lu Bu remembered the contents of the edict clearly, and replied: "Carry the Xuanguan." But in fact, he didn't know where the Xuanguan was in Luoyang, if Huang Fujue knew, it would be great, and it would save him the trouble of asking people for directions.
"Carry the Propaganda Hall?" Huang Fu Jue was puzzled and stared at Lu Bu in surprise.
Feeling the strange gaze, Lu Bu asked inexplicably: "What's wrong?" ”
"Brother Lu, do you remember the wrong place, the Xuanguan is the place where the Son of Heaven summoned foreign ministers, and trespassers will be punished with serious crimes." Huang Fujue kindly reminded that she saw that Lu Bubu was dressed in rough pants, and he was definitely not a child with a family background, and if he was punished for going to the wrong place, it would be too aggrieved.
Listening to Huang Fu Jue's kind reminder, Lu Bu couldn't help but have a good impression of this young man again, and he didn't hide the reason, and told the truth: "Thank you for the reminder of Huang Fu Gongzi, it's true that a certain family rushed to Luoyang from Bingzhou in response to His Majesty's edict from the emperor." ”
The word 'Lu Bu' may be famous in the Yanmen area, but in Luoyang City, who knows?
Knowing that Lu Bu was personally summoned by the emperor, Huang Fu Jue gave a thumbs up and praised: "Brother Lu is extraordinary in martial arts, and he is upright, and it is really common sense to be favored by the Son of Heaven." ”
Lu Bu smiled at this, he didn't know why the Son of Heaven suddenly wanted to summon him.
"Childe ......"
The scholar Ah Yue shouted in a slightly anxious voice, pinching the corner of Huang Fu Jue's back coat.
Huang Fujue turned his head and wondered, "What's the matter, Ah Yue?" ”
The little scholar hid his head behind Huang Fujue and pointed his hand forward.
Looking in the direction pointed by Ah Yue, seeing that Yang Ting and other princes of the family were not afraid of the slightest Huangfu Jue, his face suddenly changed, and his steps stopped.
"What's wrong?" Noticing the strange appearance of the young man beside him, Lu Bu asked with a little concern.
"Go forward along this road, then turn right and cross an alley into Xiangfu Road, and walk a few dozen steps to the south to carry the Xuanguan, Brother Lu, let's see you next time!"
Huang Fu Jue said this in one breath, and said goodbye to Lu Bu, his steps had already begun to retreat, and then he directly changed to trot, and withdrew in a hurry with the scholar, as if he had done something wrong, and his face was exactly the same as the expression of the mouse when he saw the cat.
Before the confused master and servant could react, Huang Fujue and the scholar Ah Yue had already disappeared from their field of vision.
