Chapter 1078

February [-], the second solar term after the beginning of spring, rain.

A few grains of rain fell in the sky one after another. There is a saying that "good rain knows the season, when spring happens", which is extremely beneficial to the crops that have just sprouted in the field.

Outside Chang'an City, people's heads were shaking.

Today is a very important day, and it has been known all over the city a few days ago: King Wu Zhao, who has put down the world, will return to Beijing today.

At the Wei Bridge ten miles outside the gate of Bacheng, all civil and military officials were present, and even the emperor moved from the palace on the imperial drive, and came here to clean up the dust for King Wu Zhao.

Two brothers, Lu Zhuan and Lu Xiao, also arrived early. Behind Lu Zhuan stood Guo Huai, Sun Yi, Wang Xiang and others, and to Lu Xiao's left and right were Cao Jun, Huang Xu, Han Long, Sui Gu, Zhang Qingniu and the Black Mountain Army. general.

Between the two brothers are Lu Lingqi and Sun Shangxiang. Although they have no official positions, standing here, no one dares to speak out.

In the Lu family's mansion, the servants were busy coming and going, decorated with lanterns and festoons, and full of joy.

After chanting sutras in the morning, Yan Wei changed into the dress she only wore during festivals, with her hair tied up in a bun, and sat in the lobby with a relaxed look on her face. She finally put down a big stone in her heart. Her husband finally returned safely after years of fighting abroad.

In another small garden in the mansion.

A graceful and luxurious woman is sitting in front of the dressing table, and what is reflected in the bronze mirror is a beautiful face that charms all living beings.

"Ma'am, you are so beautiful!" The maid who combed the woman's hair was a little stunned.

"Your Majesty is back today, I will greet you in my best condition, and I will never lose to that yellow-faced woman in the mansion!" The beautiful woman's tone was firm, with a rare hint of jealousy.

"The eldest lady is already old, and you are the most beautiful woman in the world. When the king sees you, madam, he will definitely not be able to move his eyes away!"

"Hehehehe..."

The beautiful woman showed her face, and cheerful laughter came from the small garden.

Around noon, scouts rushed to report.

"Report~ King Wu Zhao's army has passed Baling, only twenty miles away from Wei Bridge."

"Report~ King Wu Zhao's army has passed Bashui, less than ten miles away from Wei Bridge..."

"Report~ King Wu Zhao's army has arrived five miles away..."

Hearing that the army was less than five miles away, Lu Xiao couldn't hold back anymore, he went straight out of the line, walked to the side, then took a steed from the soldiers, turned on his back, and shouted to his best friends : "Let's go, let's pick up Father!"

Cao Jun, Han Long and the others followed and got on their horses as well.

"Brother, wait for me!"

Lu Lingqi saw it, she led a horse and followed.

More than ten riders rushed straight forward, raising a cloud of dust.

Seeing this, some officials who were attached to Lu Zhuan in the court, fearing that Lu Zhuan would fall behind, quickly came up with an idea: "Young Master, you should go too! Don't let the young master get there first!"

"Your Majesty Yushi is right, you'd better go there as soon as possible, so that you can show your filial piety in front of the king!"

"We are waiting here, Eldest Young Master, you should leave quickly!"

Someone even took the initiative to lead the horse over.

After all, most of the officials in Chang'an City supported Lu Zhuan. After all, this eldest son was extremely intelligent, and as the eldest son, he must be the best candidate to inherit Lu Bu's career in the future.

Therefore, they all thought about hugging Lu Zhuan's thigh tightly.

"Me? Forget it."

Faced with the ardent expectations of his supporters, Lu Zhuan couldn't help feeling a little discouraged.

The reason, only he himself knows.

After passing Bashui, Lu Bu walked ahead, chatting and laughing with Guo Jia and others beside him.

The topic of discussion has nothing to do with the military and politics, it's nothing more than some parents' gossip, such as whether the two sons have grown much taller, whether the little bell is still as naughty as a child...

Not far away, there was the sound of horseshoes coming from the front.

Looking around, it was Lu Xiao who arrived with a dozen or so riders.

"Father, I'll pick you up!" Lu Xiao slid off the horse, standing upright, and said with a smile, calling Lu Bu 'Dad' as always, there was no barrier between father and son.

"You stinky boy!"

Seeing his son grow taller, Lu Bu was very relieved, and he cursed with a smile, showing a heartfelt smile on his face.

"Daddy!"

Lu Lingqi also yelled, her eyes were flushed, she didn't know, she thought she was being bullied by someone.

"My little bell is so beautiful, I don't know which kid will be cheaper in the future!"

"Daddy..."

Lu Lingqi groaned coquettishly, her expression became a little coy.

"Hahaha……"

The daughter was embarrassed, but Lu Bu, the father, laughed heartily.

"I have seen the king!"

Behind Lu Xiao, Cao Jun and others dismounted to salute.

Lu Bu nodded, looked carefully, but he still couldn't see Lu Zhuan, he couldn't help but wondered, "Where is Zhuaner?"

It stands to reason that both Little Lingdang and Man'er are here, so there is no reason for Lu Zhuan, the eldest son of the Lu Mansion, not to come.

"He is still waiting at Weiqiao!"

Lu Xiao said nonchalantly.

Lu Bu nodded slightly, but didn't ask any more questions, and led the army to continue forward.

Lu Xiao and others naturally joined the team.

"Little man, I haven't seen you for a few years, your body is getting stronger and stronger." Ma Chao and other generals laughed and joked.

After all, they fought together, Lu Xiao and them did not get along, grinning and said: "That's natural, I don't work hard, how can I defeat you one by one in the future?"

"Hey, did you hear, this kid's tone is so crazy!"

Ma Chao laughed out loud, not paying attention at all.

The other generals also smiled, the two young masters of the Lu Mansion, they are also the most optimistic about the second young master.

"Rumors say that the second son is stupid and dull, but I look at him, he is quite smart!" Jia Xu, who was slightly behind, had a flash of light in his eyes, and whispered softly in his heart.

The army arrived at Weiqiao.

The long trumpet sounded, and the beating drum sounded like thunder.

"I'll see you, Your Majesty!" All civil and military officials bowed and saluted.

The only one who didn't bow was the Son of Heaven who was driven by the emperor.

Lu Bu urged the horse to go forward, and cupped his hands towards the emperor: "My servant Lu Bu, I pay my respects to Your Majesty!"

Looking at the slightly bowed man in front of him, Liu Xie really didn't want to talk, but now that everyone was present and Lu Bu was holding a heavy army, he didn't dare to tear his face, so he could only say something high-sounding: "Lv Qingping, these In [-], you fought for the Han Dynasty and wiped out the traitors. You really deserved it, and I will remember it in my heart."

"It is the duty of a minister to drive away bandits and rebels for the great man."

The two monarchs and ministers exchanged pleasantries for a while, and Lu Bu turned his gaze to the people who came to greet them.

Among the crowd, most of them were familiar faces, Yang Biao, Chen Gong, Yang Ting, Hua Xin, Du Ji, Wang Lang, Sima Fang...

However, only one person was missing.
