Crowned the New Han Dynasty

Chapter 1129: In the past, there were weeds by the river, but today the stars are shining over the moon.

The weather in Jixian County has been a bit gloomy these days.

There were dark clouds, but there was no rain, so the air was muggy, which also made the people in the city feel irritable.

When this natural irritability encounters troubles caused by assassinations, people become even more unable to calm down.

When these people were gathered together and stood outside the city, waiting for Chen Zhi's carriage and horse to arrive, the crowded and crowded environment immediately made them more and more manic.

Just, you have to be patient.

Lu Gang is one of them. As a junior of the Lu family, he was brought here by his elders this time. It was said that he would take the opportunity to make friends with some people. It would be ideal if he could establish a relationship with the core members of the Chen family. Yes.

"My grandfather can speak well in front of the general, and he is also an important minister in Youzhou. Why are we still standing here? I really feel uneasy."

Standing still, Lu Gang looked at the figures in front and behind him and couldn't help but mutter.

His words were heard by his clan brother Lu Fen who was close at hand. He saw his clan brother turned his head and reminded in a low voice: "There are many people here talking, so you need to think carefully before speaking."

Lu Gang nodded in agreement, and then couldn't help but ask: "When can the general come?"

Lu Fen said, "Why do you ask? This matter has nothing to do with you and me."

When Lu Gang heard this, he couldn't help showing doubts.

But before the clan brother could ask, Lu Fen took the initiative to explain: "Don't say it's us, even the heads of many aristocratic families don't expect to be able to speak in front of the general when they come here today. Do you know that the general has already given orders? Are the officials not allowed to come out to greet you?"

"So there are so many people gathered here?" Lu Gang looked surprised. He really didn't know the news.

"The government doesn't organize it, but the people can organize it." Lu Fen smiled, and then changed the topic, "If you don't talk about this, if someone from the Chen family comes later, you and I will go over and greet them. If we can take the opportunity to get to know each other, As a member of the Chen family, your status in the family will be improved a lot in the future."

Listening to these words, Lu Gang couldn't help but nodded.

At this time, there was a commotion behind the crowd.

"Here we come!" Lu Fen's eyes lit up, and he turned around and looked behind him.

Xun Sheng looked over, and Lu Gang saw a group of people coming. When people along the way saw them, they retreated and greeted them at the same time.

Among this group of people, there was a man Lu Gang was familiar with - that man was very lively and seemed very friendly. The other Chen clan members only responded slightly to the greetings from others, or simply ignored them. Only this one People will return the favor and greet them with a smile.

This person is none other than Chen Luo, the current chief steward of Chen Village, the younger brother of General Zhengbei and known as the Fat God of Wealth.

"I didn't expect Shopkeeper Chen to come in person!" Lu Gang was a little surprised. "I heard that even if the senior officials in the general's mansion want to visit him, it is difficult to see him."

He is not very old, and he often wanders in Ji County with a few friends. He has been exposed to three religions and nine streams. He naturally knows the energy of this shopkeeper Chen Luochen. He tried to make friends with him several times but failed. I can't help but feel warm.

"Shopkeeper Chen is a younger brother of the General. The two are very close. The General is much closer to him than to his two brothers. Now that the General has made a triumphant return from the Western Expedition, why won't he come? Okay, stop talking nonsense. Come with me and say hello to the Chen family, I am very lucky today, my acquaintance is also here."

When Lu Gang heard this, he was a little surprised: "Brother, are you still friends with the direct descendants of the Chen family?"

Lu Fen said with a slight embarrassment: "I'm not very familiar with him. I just chatted with him for a few words at a dinner party. Now I just use this as an opportunity to chat with him."

Lu Gang finally understood, nodded, and followed.

To be fair, the Fan Yang Lu family is also a powerful family in Youzhou, and its background is even higher than that of the Chen family. However, it is still the Chen family that has gained power now, and with its great achievements in destroying the Xiongnu, no one can compare with it.However, even so, the Lu family can be counted in this Youzhou. It is at least among the top five families. It is natural for people to know the Chen family. However, Lu Fan and Lu Gang are only juniors in the Lu family. I can barely get a direct lineage, so I was brought here by the elders today.

In contrast, the people of the Chen family who can come here now are the most direct relatives of the Chen family in Youzhou. They are indeed not accessible to marginal juniors like Lu Gang and Lu Fan, so they surprise.

Talking and walking, under the leadership of Chen Luo and others, they came outside the city to wait for Chen Zhi. There were people coming around to chat. Lu Fan and Lu Gang were just two inconspicuous people among them. There were many similar people coming over. .

Except for Chen Luo, the other Chen family members are not very enthusiastic.

Maybe it was a bit of a novelty to be sought after by others at first, but as they went to more banquets and gatherings, and they were still the center of attention, these Chen clan members gradually learned to deal with it indifferently.

So in the end, some people couldn't help but come to Chen Luo, taking advantage of a gap, and said with a little emotion: "Uncle is really caring, treating so many people so patiently."

"But you don't know, I'm just feeling the situation." Chen Luo is still fat now, but after growing his beard, he looked much more stable. He listened at this moment, and he revealed a look of nostalgia, "Back then, Seventh Brother and I also had Outside the city of Pengcheng, I greeted a noble person. At that time, Brother Seven and I were just juniors in the crowd. How could we have imagined the current situation? There may not be such a genius as Brother Seven among the crowd today, but maybe There are also one or two outstanding talents, so we should treat them with caution."

When the others heard that the clan uncle mentioned "Seventh Brother", they immediately became solemn and treated him solemnly.

The crowd gathered and dispersed like this, and soon, in anticipation outside, the ground trembled slightly, and a soldier in pitch-black armor came slowly from a distance.

Chen Zhi rode a horse at the front of the queue, approaching slowly.

Suddenly, the crowd became excited. Under the command of some people, they passed by in an orderly manner. Elders from aristocratic families who were familiar with Chen went over to greet him one after another.

"Congratulations to the general on his triumphant return!"

"Today's general has made unparalleled achievements, and he is just waiting to leave his name in history."

"I have long been looking forward to the general's return, and I finally got my wish!"

……

A series of words of congratulations came one after another, mixed with some condescending words from several elders——

"How can a general lead the army in person? This is dangerous!"

"Yes, I heard that there were assassins in Nadai County not long ago. The general should be careful!"

"I hope the general will take care of himself. You are responsible for the safety of the three states!"

……

Listening to the noise, Chen Zhi raised his hand, and the soldiers behind him suddenly closed their weapons and stamped on the ground hard!
Boom!

The sound of your uniform movements shook all directions, completely drowning out the noisy noises, and your murderous aura made many aristocratic families and people tremble in fear, causing them to stop talking.

Suddenly, the surrounding quiet down.

"Didn't I say that we are not allowed to mobilize people to welcome you?"

Chen Zhi took back his hand and asked lightly.

In an instant, everyone present felt a heavy pressure on them.
