Chapter 589 - Strategy
Returning to the pavilion in Guangcheng Garden, the Son of Heaven had no intention of continuing to hunt and drove back to the palace.
After Lu Bu sent the Son of Heaven back to the palace safe and sound, he returned to the Yulin camp to take off his armor and return to his own house.
When Xi Ce and Guo Jia came back, it was getting late. Xi Ce's face didn't seem to be very good, and the whole person looked like a lot of vicissitudes and loneliness.
Lu Bu thought that something had gone wrong, so he stepped forward and took the initiative to ask: "Sir, what's wrong with you?" ”
Hearing Lu Bu's active care, there was a trace of warmth on Xi Ce's face. He shook his head slightly, just saying that he was tired and wanted to rest.
Xi Ce refused to say it explicitly, and Lu Bu didn't want to ask again.
When Xi Ce returned to the room, Lu Bu found Guo Jia and asked him what happened today.
Guo Jia also shrugged his shoulders helplessly, and he told Lu Bu that Xi Ce parted ways with him halfway, and he hadn't been with him at all during the day today.
After hearing this, Lu Bu became more and more puzzled: What did Mr. do today, and his recent whereabouts are also mysterious, and he doesn't want people to accompany him.
couldn't figure it out, so Lu Bu didn't think about it anymore, Xice had been following him for three years, and everything was for his sake, and it wouldn't hurt him after all.
…………
Little Bell's second birthday is approaching, and Lu Bu began to prepare for his daughter's birthday gift.
I gave two bells last year, and the little guy likes it very much, so what should I give this year?
Lu Bu, who couldn't make up his mind, decided to go to the market in Luoyang City.
There is a saying in "Han Law": The officials have to take a bath on the fifth day, and they will rest to wash and bath.
That is to say, the officials of the Han Dynasty, for every five days of work, will have one day off. According to the responsibilities of each official, the rest time will also be staggered in turns, so as to avoid all holidays and no one to handle government affairs.
When it was Lu Bu's turn to rest, he took Chen Wei with him, left the mansion, and went to Luoyang Market for a stroll.
The pedestrians and business travelers in the city are as always, and the lectures of the great Confucian Zheng Xuan two days ago have increased the number of people.
Before he reached the market, Lu Bu bumped into an acquaintance first.
"General Lu, don't come unharmed." Sun Jian, who was walking towards him, arched his hand and smiled.
Today's Sun Jian is a speaker in Luoyang.
Lu Bu had a good impression of him, the two had quelled the moth thieves together, and fought against the Liangzhou rebels together, so it can be said that they have a relationship.
Sun Jian was followed by two children on the left and right, the older one was about ten years old, handsome and bright-eyed. With Lu Bu's eyes, it can be seen at a glance that this kid is a good material for martial arts.
The younger boy, only four or five years old, hugged Sun Jian's trouser leg and was a little timid. However, the little one's appearance was much worse than that of his brother, and he looked a little ugly, but when he opened his eyes, there was a light green light flashing.
It's a miracle.
Lu Bu looked at the Sun family brothers, looked up at Sun Jian and said with a smile: "Presumably, these two are the two little sons of Brother Wentai." ”
"The general is smiling, and the dog Sun Ce and Sun Quan are grand."
Sun Jian introduced his two sons in turn, and since they had not returned home for several years, the two brothers, accompanied by domestic servants, specially rushed to Luoyang from Wu County to visit their father.
"The youngest Sun Ce (Sun Quan) has seen the general." The two brothers spoke in unison.
Lu Bu nodded and smiled, and touched the heads of the Sun brothers one by one, he had an inexplicable premonition that these two boys would be extraordinary in the future.
"I heard that the general has a little girl, who is over two years old, and Sun is also cheeky today, so it is better to ......"
Before Sun Jian's words were finished, Lu Bu laughed and started haha, staggering the topic: "Brother Wentai, the appearance and conduct of the two sons are good, and they will definitely be determined in the future!" ”
Sun Jian's thoughts in what he said, will Lu Bu understand?
This kind of political marriage can only be done once in the previous life.
In this life, he doesn't want to exchange his daughter's life for political bargaining chips.
Lu Bu did not give a clear answer, and Sun Jian did not insist on it. Hearing Lu Bu praise his son, he talked about two unsuccessful cubs, but he was extremely happy in his heart.
Knowing that Sun Jian was also going to the market this time, the two walked all the way.
Walking to the entrance of the market, Lu Bu paused. Not far ahead, he saw a beggar with unkempt hair and tattered clothes, lame, prostrate and shaking a broken bowl, begging for food.
"Chen Wei, go buy two cooking cakes for him." Lu Bu said lightly.
Chen Wei didn't understand the reason for this, and didn't ask too much, went to buy two cooking cakes, trotted up to the beggar, and put the cakes into his broken bowl.
The beggar buried his head and thanked him gratefully.
The task was completed, and Chen Wei was just about to leave, when a group of soldiers from the patrol immediately rushed over. Without saying a word, he directly snatched the cooking cake from the beggar's hand, tore it into pieces, and stomped heavily on the ground.
They laughed merrily: "Eat, stinky beggar!" ”
Seeing this, Chen Wei clenched his iron fist, and his anger rose from his chest, these officers and soldiers are simply too deceitful!
But he thought of what Lu Bu said before, don't make trouble in Luoyang, and the pair of clenched fists gradually loosened again.
The beggar did not protest at all, perhaps he was used to such days, and picked up the dirty crumbs with his hands and slowly passed them to his mouth.
Chew, swallow, and reach out again.
When the leading officer saw that the beggar was still coming to pick it up, he raised his foot and crushed it twice more on the bottom of the cake, then spat and kicked it in front of the beggar, "Oh, eat this." ”
The beggar did not stretch out his hand.
This made Wu Xiang quite dissatisfied, and his eyes staring at the beggar became particularly unkind, and his tone became a lot more gloomy: "Why, deaf, I told you to eat it!" Is your skin itchy again and you want to be beaten? ”
When the beggar heard this, he unconsciously shrank back, which was an instinctive fear.
Obviously, he has been beaten more than once.
The people around him seemed to be accustomed to seeing this kind of situation, and no one wanted to tread this troubled water for this unrelated beggar. I can only curse Wu Xiang in my heart for these officers and soldiers, Wang Bacao, who lost his conscience.
At this point, a full cookcake is handed from above.
"Here, eat this."
Dare to feed this stinky beggar in front of himself, Wu Xiang saw this cooking cake, and suddenly became angry. He turned his head to look at the young man who was much taller than him, and asked in a second-rate tone, "Hey, who are you ......?"
Syllable!
Before he finished speaking, Lu Bu slapped Wu Xiang in the face with his backhand.
Wu Xiang was almost slapped and fell to the ground, he lightly covered his swollen and aching face, it was called a pain.
However, he did not immediately order the arrest of Lu Bu, but took two steps forward and cautiously asked: "Forgive the villain, dare to ask which family's son is it?" ”
Daring to act so arrogantly in Luoyang City is definitely not a good stubble.
Lu Bu didn't bother to talk to Wu Xiang, he asked a question that sounded extremely strange to outsiders: "Do you blame me?" ”
The beggar shook his head vigorously, and an ugly face was revealed under his unkempt hair.
