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

Chapter 558 An old friend

In the following period of time, the situation in Chang'an City was calm.

Except for the occasional clown who is jumping on the beam and acting as a monster to instigate the emperor, it is not a big deal.If I had to mention one or two incidents, it would probably be Sikong Huang Wan's fall from the horse and beheading in the market three days later.

Following the Li Ao incident last time, Li Ao was sent to Tingwei Mansion for trial.

During this period, Li Ao couldn't stand the punishment, so he had to follow Qiu Lian's prepared confession and confess that the mastermind behind the scenes was Sikong Huang Wan of the current dynasty.

Once this matter was reported, the ruling and opposition parties were shocked.

Huang Wan, who claimed to be sick at home, could not escape the catastrophe after all, and was finally dismissed from office and demoted to a commoner.The only good news is that the lives of the whole family were saved.

As for the vacated position of Sikong, under Lu Bu's suggestion, Ding Gong took it.

Since returning to Lu Bu, Ding Gong can be said to have put in all his strength.Whether it's helping Lu Bu ascend to the position of Da Sima, or planning a marriage, Ding Gong's contribution is indispensable in all aspects.

Rewards for meritorious deeds and punishments for demerits.

Generally speaking, methods of winning people's hearts are useless to an old fox like Ding Gong, so it is better to give him sweets directly.

Knowing this, Lu Bu did not expect Ding Gong to be loyal. After all, as long as there are interests in such a utilitarian person, he will not change his banner easily.

As for the position of chief minister, it naturally fell to Yan Li.

As the saying goes, fat and water don't flow into outsiders' fields.

After all, Yan Li is also Lu Bu's eldest brother-in-law, so it's impossible for him to have a decent official position, not to mention that Yan Li has been struggling in the court for many years, so he must still have some business methods.

After returning from the early morning, just as Lu Bu's carriage stopped at the gate of the mansion, it started to rain lightly.

When Lu Bu entered the mansion, he wanted to discuss something with Xi Ce, but found that Xi Ce had gone out and had not yet returned.

"Have you brought an umbrella, sir?" Lu Bu asked the steward as he looked up at the sky, which was like a bead curtain being cut.

The steward shook his head clearly, because he happened to meet Xi Ce when he went out.

Lu Bu held up an umbrella and went out of the house.

Xi Ce went to meet with Cui Xu today, and there is no need to reveal this dark chess, so when the two sides meet, naturally they should be more cautious.

On the way back, it started to rain without warning, and it was getting bigger and bigger.

I didn't want to be a drowned prank, so I found a roof to hide from the rain, and brushed off the mud and dust splashed on my body.

"Young Master, it's you!"

Under the eaves, a girlish voice filled with surprise sounded.

Xi Ce was startled when he heard the sound, and froze where he was, waves rose up in the depths of his eyes, and even his body trembled slightly.This voice had haunted him countless times, and it had pierced his heart with blood dripping countless times.

Forcing himself to settle down, he seemed to turn his head in disbelief. The girl standing behind her was wearing a plain white skirt, as slim, quiet and elegant as when she first met her.The only difference from before was that the color in his eyes was changed to an unconcealable joy.

Even though she was only fifteen or sixteen years old, she wore her hair in a bun unique to women.

is her.

is her!

I have fantasized about the goodbye scene countless times, but I never thought it would come so suddenly.

There are a lot of emotions in my heart, and I seem to have thousands of words to say, but I can't seem to say a word, everything is stuck in my throat.

At that moment, it seemed that a particularly long century had passed.

"Mrs. Wei, hello."

Finally, Xi Ce opened his mouth, trying to show a smile on his slightly thin face.Although this smile is so blunt in the eyes of outsiders.

Cai Yan was stunned, and abruptly stopped the steps she wanted to move forward. The joy in her heart was lost in an instant.

The joke's words were like a basin of cold water, pouring cold on her heart, from the top of her head to the bottom of her feet.

She blessed her body and returned the salute to the drama planner.

Speechless.

After a long silence, Joke interrupted the silence in the air and asked calmly, "How long have you been in Chang'an?"

"It's almost two or three months."

Cai Yan replied softly, knowing that her father was in prison, as a daughter, she would come to rescue him.However, during the past few months, her husband Wei Ning (Zhong Dao) managed everywhere and accommodated everywhere, but it was of no avail.

When the bribed officials learned that they were going to save Cai Yong, they all shook their heads.Cai Yong wept bitterly for the national thief Dong Zhuo, even though the old man had a high reputation, they were helpless.

They told Wei Ning that perhaps only one person could save Cai Yong.

That is today's great Sima, Lu Bu.

As long as Lu Buken nodded, this matter would not be difficult.

It's not that Cai Yan didn't want to go to ask Lu Bu, but there are countless people who visit Lu's house every day, even if they wait every day, they may not be able to see each other.

Moreover, the father's matter is imminent.

There are only three days left in her time.

"Where's your elder brother?" Xie Ce asked, if it wasn't for this mean and bitter elder brother who got in the way, perhaps he and Cai Yan would have already gotten married.

Hearing this, Cai Yan sighed and shook his head slightly.

After his father's death, his elder brother feared that it would be affected, and took his family to flee Jianghuai, but there has been no news of it till now.

Poor Cai Yong's famous name, unexpectedly raised such a thing that is not as good as a pig or a dog.

Xie Ce couldn't help feeling a little emotional.

"Okay, let's not talk about the concubine."

The family ugliness should not be publicized, Cai Yan calmed down his mood, and asked the actor in a relaxed tone as much as possible: "How about you, have you already entered the official position?"

"Let's force it, let's mix it up with a military officer's sacrificial wine." Joke said a little indifferently.

When Cai Yan heard the playful tone, he thought he was trying to give up on himself, so he comforted him intimately: "Don't be discouraged, my lord, the military division's sacrificial wine is not good enough, but with the knowledge of the king, there will always be a bright future."

Cai Yan was raised in a deep boudoir since she was a child, and after marrying to Hedong, she never left her home, so she naturally didn't know what kind of huge power was behind the thin young man standing in front of her.

Xie Ce just smiled, then turned his head and looked at the dark and foggy sky.

The rain in the sky seemed to have no intention of stopping. It fell on the bluestone slabs under the eaves, splashing countless tiny drops of water, patter, patter.

"By the way, are you... married?" Cai Yan asked aloud after hesitating for a while.For some reason, when she asked this sentence, there was an extremely strong uneasiness in her heart.

"Soon, the eighteenth next month." The joke didn't look back.

There was a trace of sadness in Cai Yan's eyes, and he forced a smile and said: "Bride, must be very beautiful!"

Turning his back on Cai Yan's drama and laughing at himself, if you can't marry someone you like, what difference does it make if you are beautiful or ugly?

The rain is gradually getting smaller.

"Sir, so you are here!"

Lu Bu, who came here with an umbrella, saw the tricks hiding from the rain under the eaves, and walked over quickly.

Before Xi Ce could reply, Cai Yan asked curiously first: "This is..."

Lu Bu glanced sideways at Cai Yan, but there was no impression in his memory, so he felt mischievous in his heart, and said with a smile: "I am the guard of the master!"

Xi Ce was about to explain, but Lu Bu grabbed his hand, said goodbye to Cai Yan briefly, and then whispered to Xi Ce: "Sir, I have encountered a difficult matter, and I just want to discuss it with you."

Hearing this, Xi Ce only looked back at Cai Yan, then stopped staying and followed Lu Bu.

At this time, an elegant young man in a brocade suit came with an umbrella.

Whether it's appearance, behavior or dress, he has the temperament of a handsome young man, which has attracted the admiration of many girls along the way.

However, in his eyes, there is only the woman in front of him.

"Zhaoji, just now, Ding Sikong has already promised me that he is willing to help. With his help, I think Yuezhang will be released from prison soon..."

Wei Ning kept on talking, in the past, his wife would definitely say hard-working words such as the husband's hard work, but today, his wife's eyes seem to be a little dazed.

He looked in the direction Cai Yan was looking at, and in the drizzle, two figures with distinct heights came into view.

Wei Ning couldn't help being startled, how could that tall guy be so similar to the Marquis Wen that the common people said about him!

Could it be that this person is Lu Bu?

impossible.

How can it be possible to hold an umbrella for others when he is the chief minister of the court?

Despite denying the thoughts in his mind, Wei Ning was still a little curious, and asked his wife next to him: "Who is he?"

Cai Yan's eyes are lingering, if we say goodbye today, we fear that we will never see each other again.

She thought that Wei Ning was asking about a joke, and there was a bit of sadness in her tone, so she just said: An old friend.
