The Reincarnation of Lu Bu at the End of the Han Dynasty

Chapter 426 Green Liao
After bidding farewell to Lu Bu, Li Jue came to Xiangguo's mansion.

In the bright pavilion, Dong Zhuo was lying on a soft bed in thin pajamas, while four beautiful maidservants were squeezing his shoulders, beating his back, and feeding him fruits.

Li Jue came to see him, but Dong Zhuo's lazy body did not move, he just opened his mouth and asked his servant to call him in.

Li Jue wiped off the sweat from his forehead, and after climbing up the pavilion, he cupped his hands and cupped his fists: "The last general, Li Jue, greet the Grand Master."

Dong Zhuo waved his hand, telling him to speak directly.

If the soldiers under Dong Zhuo's command were divided into ranks, it is estimated that Li Jue could only be ranked in the third step, that is to say, his status could only be counted as being on the edge of Dong Zhuo's confidant.

Not to mention anything else, even Dong Zhuo's two sons-in-law who stepped in the door were more favored than them, so Li Jue and Guo Si, the brave generals who followed Dong Zhuo in the battlefield in the early years, felt dissatisfied.

But due to Dong Zhuo's power, they could only complain in private, and they dared not poke their son in front of Dong Zhuo.

"Grand Master, Lu Bu is back."

Li Jue told Dong Zhuo about the city gate during the day.

When Dong Zhuo learned that Lv Bu had returned to Luoyang, he was overjoyed and got up from the couch.He failed to win Lu Bu over in Chang'an back then, but now that he is in power, he should be foolproof.As long as Lv Bu opens his mouth and gives money and women positions, Dong Zhuo will not believe in taming this fierce tiger.

This is like some strategy games of later generations, there are many fierce generals with 90+ force, and the unification of the world is just around the corner, but they still covet those enemies who are in the highest positions.

Dong Zhuo looked around but found no figure of Lu Bu, so he couldn't help feeling anxious: "Where are the others?"

"Back to Grand Master, Lu Bu went back to the mansion first, and said that he would come to see him tomorrow." Li Jue has been with Dong Zhuo for so many years, and he has never seen him have such an impatient expression on someone.

"Good good."

Dong Zhuo said three good words in a row, and while he was in a good mood, he didn't mind that Lu Bu didn't come to see him at the first time.Now that he has entered Luoyang, Dong Zhuo is not afraid that Lu Bu will escape from his grasp.

"Notify me, tomorrow night, I will clean up the dust for General Lu in my Grand Master's Xiangguo Mansion."

Dong Zhuo waved his hand, and added after speaking: "Tell all the courtiers that they must all be present tomorrow night."

Dong Zhuo's arrangement was lively, but Lv Bu didn't know about it.

After dinner, just as he was about to go back to his room to rest, the steward came to report that a young descendant had come to pay his respects and stood at the door, saying that he had something important to tell Lu Bu face to face.

Younger?

Lu Bu was a little suspicious, and looked up at the sky. Normal people should not disturb others at this time.

But since he claims to have something important to do, it doesn't hurt to meet him.

The steward brought the seeker to the mansion, Lu Bu took a good look at him, he was wearing ordinary civilian clothes, linen and straw sandals, probably a year or two younger than him.

However, this person's face had a sinister look, and Lu Bu noticed that this person's first reaction when he came in was not to move forward with a clear conscience, but to pause for a while, and the corners of his eyes also unconsciously retracted. , This is to judge whether there is a dangerous atmosphere around.

Lu Bu didn't recognize this person, so he asked, "Your Excellency came to visit late at night, I don't know why?"

"Before my adoptive father bids farewell to me, I have something to tell the general." The young man replied.

Hearing the human voice, it seemed to be an eunuch in the palace.However, in the massacre by Yuan Shao and others, almost all the court eunuchs died, and less than a hundred people survived, and not a single one of the notorious Ten Permanent Attendants survived.

"Your foster father is..."

"The former Great Attendant, Zhang Rang." The young man answered without haste.

This answer was beyond Lu Bu's expectation. He really didn't expect that a person like Zhang Rang would have such a adopted son who could work hard for him.Zhang Rang died by throwing himself into the river at the foot of Beiman Mountain. This person could have absconded, but now he dares to come back at great risk. Regardless of what he has done before, this alone can be regarded as a person who keeps his promise .

Lu Bu had an agreement with Zhang Rang before, and if possible, he would save Zhang Rang's life when he was in trouble.It's a pity that when Yuan Shao and others entered the court, Lu Bu was still in the northern part of Liaobei searching for Zhang Ju in every possible way, and he couldn't do anything about it.

The young man told Lu Bu what Zhang Rang had said.

After hearing this, Lu Bu frowned slightly, and asked doubtfully, "You mean that the crown prince who was established by the first emperor was the Prince's Association, not the Prince's Debate. It was the Empress Dowager He and General He Jin who tampered with the will?"

The young man nodded solemnly, "The last edict of the late emperor has been destroyed. My foster father said, if you still remember the kindness of the late emperor, please keep your Majesty safe for the rest of your life."

In all fairness, when Liu Hong was alive, he was really kind to Lu Bu. He gave him the Chitu Armor, gave him the Emperor Sword, and promoted him to General Zhenbei.

Lu Bu was not a heartless person. He remembered these kindnesses, and Liu Hong had mentioned to him more than once before his death that he liked the prince Liu Xie and wanted to make him the crown prince.

Now combined with what the young man said, it seems that this matter is true in all likelihood.

His Majesty's kindness must be repaid, but at the same time, we must do what we can.

Luoyang is now in the hands of Dong Zhuo, and Lu Bu has no strength to contend with him. As long as Liu Xie's life is not endangered, there is no need to have a direct confrontation with Dong Zhuo.

Lu Bu was concerned, and asked the young man, "How much do you know about Zhang Rang?"

The young man did not hide anything, and answered truthfully: "Thirty to four out of ten."

Not a lot.

According to Lu Bu's understanding of Zhang Rang, this old eunuch is not a person who will let others know everything about him, even if he is extremely loyal.

"Are you interested in working for this general?" Lu Bu tapped his fingers on the table, bluntly.

"Willing to serve the general." The young man clasped his fists and answered decisively.

After Zhang Rang's downfall, he had no backer and was always on guard for fear of being discovered.

Now that Lu Bu is willing to take him in, there is no reason for him not to.

In fact, apart from some small tricks, he doesn't have much ability.The most important function is that when his master is inconvenient to do something, he can do it for him, and he will do it ruthlessly without leaving any clues.

Lu Bu nodded, satisfied with the young man's attitude, and asked casually, "What's your name?"

As for the eyes and ears planted in the mansion before, after Zhang Rang's death, it will be useless.

The young man replied in a low voice: "The villain has no name, but my adoptive father calls me Qing Liao."

Green lizard.

Lu Bu didn't feel much when he heard it for the first time, but after repeating it twice, he actually felt a little penetrating.

"Okay, it's getting late. You go down first and let the steward arrange a place for you."

Lu Bu waved his hand, and the young man bowed away.

If you owed Zhang Rang earlier, let him return the adopted son.
