Chapter 341: Rebuke
After chatting for a while, Lu Bu made his intentions clear.
Knowing that they had a new place to live, Cao Xing and the others were willing to go with them.
In these days in Yang's Mansion, there is nothing to say about food and daily life, and clothes come to reach out for food to open their mouths. Yang Ting also specially assigned them servants to call, and it can be said that their small life in the Yang Mansion was like some rich masters, and it was extremely comfortable.
However, although the Yang Mansion is good, it is not an acre and a third of his own land. Living here for a long time, even if others don't gossip, I'm embarrassed to stay cheeky any longer.
What's more, not long after the old lady passed away, it was strictly forbidden to speak loudly in the house, let alone play with swords, for fear that it would frighten the yin spirit. A lot of details and etiquette also suffocated them.
Yang Ting respected the opinions of Cao Xing and others, and did not force them to stay, and the people in the barracks were straightforward and did not have so many false courtesies.
Sending Lu Bu and the others out of the house, Yang Ting hugged his fists and performed a farewell salute in the army, and told Cao Xing that they could come to Yang's house to find him when they were free, and they were welcome at any time.
After nodding his head, the moment Lu Bu turned around, he actually saw a trace of nostalgia in Xi Ce's eyes.
This is a rare thing.
From the day he met Xice, Lu Bu felt that this gentleman was different from ordinary characters, not only knowledgeable about the past and the present, but also knowledgeable about yin and yang, and his temperament was also indifferent and easy-going, not happy with things and not sad for himself. It seems that in this world, no one or anything can bind him.
In the eyes of this strategist, it seems that there will always be only mountains and rivers in the world.
"What's wrong, sir?" Lu Bu asked aloud.
"Nothing."
Xi Ce shook his head slightly, withdrew his gaze from the Yang family, took a step, and took the lead.
On the way, Lu Bu and the others briefly talked about entering the palace, and the title that the Son of Heaven had awarded him as the general of Yulin.
Hearing that Lu Bu was favored by the Son of Heaven, Xi Ce and the others congratulated themselves. Being able to be on duty in the palace is something that many people can't dream of in their lives.
Lu Bu didn't have much joy on his face, shook his head and smiled bitterly: "How can the palace be as beautiful as you think, I would rather be an idle and free general in Wuyuan." ”
"People go to high places, and water flows to low places."
Hearing Lu Bu's complaints, Xi Ce smiled and was relieved, "General, seize the opportunity, maybe the marquis is close at hand." ”
chatting all the way, I have unconsciously arrived at the mansion on Bac Ninh Street.
Standing in front of the mansion, Lu Bu stepped up the stone steps and walked towards the gate.
Cao Xing and the others were still standing on the street, not moving for a long time, their eyes widened, and their expressions were full of consternation.
"Boss, is this your house?" Cao Xing swallowed his dry throat, and it was a little difficult to accept it for a while. In his mind, the new residence that Lu Bu was talking about should be an exquisite small courtyard like Wuyuan, not the Shenfu mansion in front of him, which looked particularly magnificent and majestic.
What's more, they didn't bring much belongings with them on this trip. Luoyang, a place where every inch of land is valuable, wants to buy such a big house, even if you sell them all, it is estimated that you can't afford to buy this open vermilion lacquer gate.
Then the question arises, how did Lu Bu become the owner of this mansion?
Lu Bu saw Cao Xing rolling his eyes in the thief, and knew that he must not have a good thing in mind, and he was probably wondering if it was the mansion he had robbed by killing people and stealing goods.
"Don't think about it, this is a temporary shelter given to me by His Majesty."
Lu Bu explained the reason, and several people suddenly realized after listening to it, if it was the handwriting of the Son of Heaven, then there was nothing that could not be explained.
When the servants guarding the door saw Lu Bu coming, they bowed down and shouted in unison, 'Master of the House'.
Lu Bu didn't make any response, and walked directly into the mansion. As the owner of this mansion, there is naturally no need to return the gift to these subordinates.
However, when Cao Xing heard this 'head of the house', he was called cool in his heart, as if those servants were calling him. He followed behind Lu Bu, with his hands behind his back, and learned Lu Bu's walking posture in a good way, but because he was not tall enough, he should have walked with great momentum, but when he walked, it was quite funny.
Lu Bu took a few people to the hall where the guests were gathered, and after they sat down one by one, another maid moved the lotus step lightly and walked slowly.
They carried boiling tea, filled them with utensils one by one, and placed them on the table in front of each person.
Cao Xing's eyes straightened, he sniffed his nose fiercely, and the fragrance emanating from those women's clothes made him almost fascinated.
After pouring the tea, the maidservants bent lightly towards Lu Bu and came out in turn.
Inspector Cao Xing looked at the beautiful women and left, until he couldn't see the figure at all, and then he turned his head to look at Lu Bu, and he was still unsatisfied: "Boss, these mothers-in-law are really water spirits." If you can let me sleep all night, it's worth dying. ”
"In the future, Lao Tzu will also be a big official in Luoyang, let the emperor Lao'er also give me a few big mansions, and there are many beautiful women......"
Cao Xuan turned around and looked at Xi Ce and the others, who spoke vigorously without concealment, but Lu Bu, who was sitting in the main seat, directly interrupted Cao Xing, frowned lowly, and said with a bit of warning in his tone: "Cao Xing, I will only say it once, and I will take care of your mouth in the future." This is Luoyang, at the foot of the Son of Heaven, not the five plains of Bingzhou. Maybe because you said the wrong word, not only you, but also us, even our family and friends, none of them can escape. ”
"If you dare to talk nonsense in the future, you will go back to Wuyuan for me!"
Lu Bu rarely said anything serious to his subordinates, they were all brothers who shared life and death, and even if he made some small mistakes, he would try to forgive.
But Cao Xing really doesn't know the height of the sky this time, the emperor Lao'er said this kind of thing, he used to talk nonsense in the barracks, and he dared to say this when he arrived in Luoyang, not looking for death, what is it!
Lu Bu was angry, Cao Xing was so frightened that he didn't dare to say anything more, covered his mouth with both hands, and nodded vigorously in response.
"Also, these servants and maidservants were all sent by Zhang Rang, if you are not afraid of death, you can try it." Lu Bu saw that Cao Xuan was so frightened by him that he didn't dare to squeak, and his tone eased a little.
After Lu Bu's reprimand, Cao Xing dared to move his crooked mind again, and it was estimated that he would not be able to slow down in a day or two.
"General, you have nothing to do, and you are either a traitor or a thief."
Huang Zhong, who was below Cao Xing, arched his hand sideways to Lu Bu and expressed his opinion: "Zhang Rang sent such servants and maids to the general, could the purpose be to let them secretly spy on the general?" ”
The answer is obvious.
If it is said that it is sent by another person, such as Yang Ting and Huangfu Song, naturally this problem will not exist.
But who is Zhang Rang, maybe there are only a handful of people who have seen Zhang Rang in the Han Dynasty. But when it comes to Zhang Rang's name, most of the people in the thirteen states and counties know this person, and he is notorious.
"What do you think, sir?"
Lu Bu threw this question to Xi Ce.
