Rebirth of Lu Bu, the tyrant of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 359, Cai Yong rescued and defeated Xia Houen with the sword

The next day, Lu Bu set off from Bingzhou with Dianwei, Luo Cheng, and three riders, heading straight for Luoyang City.

It's early spring, the sun is shining, and everything in the world is full of vitality, revealing a scene full of vitality.

From time to time, many refugees living in no fixed place can be seen on the road.

The three of them galloped all the way for several days before arriving at Luoyang City.

Luoyang City is the imperial capital, and it is now under the control of Cao Cao, and it is even more heavily guarded. Anyone who is suspicious will be called up for questioning.

Especially those who hold weapons will be strictly interrogated.

Seeing this scene, the three of them couldn't help but feel a little headache. Right now, all three of them are holding ice blades, and it seems that it is difficult to enter Luoyang City.

Unless they put their weapons outside the city.

At this time, a man came on horseback in the city, wearing armor and a sharp sword hanging from his waist, followed by several guards.

He said loudly, "The Prime Minister has ordered that all those who enter and leave Luoyang City must be strictly interrogated to prevent those with malicious intentions and take advantage of the opportunity."

Lu Bu recognized this person, he was General Xia Houen under Cao Cao's command.

After all, Luoyang City is Cao Cao's territory. If Cao Cao knows, it will inevitably be disadvantageous to him.

Lu Bu deliberately turned his horse's head to avoid being seen by Xia Houen.

Just as Lu Bu turned his horse's head, a group of soldiers suddenly rushed towards Lu Bu and the others and surrounded them.

Dian Wei pulled out his two halberds fiercely, intending to fight.

Lu Bu raised his right hand slightly, signaling Dian Wei not to be impulsive.

Xia Houen rode a tall horse, walked over slowly, and said sharply, "What are you three doing, why are you holding weapons?"

Lv Bu smiled lightly, "The three of us are all from the Jianghu, we can wield swords and guns, and we are coming to Luoyang this time, intending to find a job in Luoyang City."

Xia Houen glanced at Lu Bu, and saw that the red rabbit and horse under Lu Bu's crotch, and the Zhenyue sword in his hand were not ordinary things.

Dian Wei holds a pair of halberds, and his whole body is full of the color of killing on the battlefield.

Immediately angrily said, "The identities of these three people are suspicious, let me take them down!"

"Swish Swish Swish"

Dozens of long halberds pointed directly at Lu Bu and the others.

If he took action, the dozens of guards Lu Bu would not pay attention to, but right now this is Cao Cao's territory, if he really took action, it would be very unfavorable to him.

Lu Bu moved his right hand slightly, signaling Dian Wei and Luo Cheng not to be impulsive.

Then he took a step forward and said with a soft smile, "What is the general's meaning? We are just charlatans, so it is not worth the general's big fight."

Then he took out two ingots of 50 taels of gold from his pocket and handed them over.

Looking at the two gold pieces that Lu Bu handed over, Xia Houen moved his eyes and believed in his intuition more and more.

If it was an ordinary quack warlock, how could he randomly take out two 50 taels of gold.

A fierce light flashed in his eyes, "Take it down for me!"

Dozens of guards rushed up immediately.

Dian Wei shouted violently, "Who dares to do it!"

The sound was like thunder, and Xiahouen's war horse roared in fright.

Surrounding soldiers were even more shocked.

At this time, a carriage drove up not far away. The carriage was antique and decorated very gorgeously. There was a word "Cai" engraved on the curtain in the middle.

A head protruded from the carriage, and a pair of fine eyes appeared on the thin face.

He quickly got off the carriage.

With a smile all over his face, he said, "General Xiahou, what are you doing?"

When Xiahouen saw Cai Yong, his face was also shocked, he jumped off his horse gratefully, bowed and said, "I met Cai Zhonglang, I don't know where you are going."

Although Cai Yong's position in the court was not very high, his status was very respected. Cao Cao would often invite him to teach at his residence, which is why Xia Houen was so polite to him.

Cai Yong said, "I have a virtuous nephew who came to join me from Bingzhou. Counting the time, it should be here soon. Now the people in the city are strictly controlled in and out of the city. I am worried that he will come in and out, so I came to see him."

Xia Houen said, "Cai Zhonglang just needs to tell the guard on duty what your nephew looks like, and then we will let him go."

Cai Yong said, "That shouldn't be good. If the prime minister finds out, the general will inevitably be punished."

Xia Houen laughed and said, "Zhonglang is being polite, since he is Zhonglang's nephew, how can the prime minister blame him?"

Cai Yong laughed, "However, I haven't seen my nephew for several years. When I saw him before, he was still a child of seven or eight years old. I don't know if I can recognize him now."

Listening to Cai Yong's tone, Lu Bu's eyebrows moved slightly. Hearing Cai Yong's description, it seemed that he wanted to help him.

His eyes moved slightly, and he said excitedly, "Uncle, you are Uncle Cai Yong".

Cai Yong immediately looked at Lu Bu, pretending to be puzzled and said, "You are."

"I am the nephew you mentioned. I came here from Bingzhou to meet my uncle. It's just that Luoyang City is heavily guarded, and I was caught as a suspect before I entered the city," Lu Bu said.

Cai Yong took two steps forward and said happily, "You are my nephew Fengxian".

Lu Bu said happily, "Uncle, it's my nephew. I haven't seen you for more than ten years since I left last time."

Cai Yong immediately went up to greet him, and crossed his hands with Lu Bu.

Then he turned his head and said, "General Xiahou, I don't know what my nephew has done. This kid likes to wield knives and sticks since he was a child. His family has been in business for generations, and he has some money.

However, his parents have been idle about him, and this time I am planning to recommend him to train in General Cao Xiu’s tiger and leopard cavalry.”

Xia Houen sized Lu Bu up and nodded slightly, "No wonder he shot so generously, the BMW on his crotch and the sword on his waist are not ordinary things.

The two guards were like tigers.

However, the tiger and leopard cavalry under General Cao Xiu are elite troops under the prime minister, not everyone can enter."

Cai Yong said, "Of course I know this. Don't look at my nephew's handsome face, but he has practiced martial arts since he was a child, and he is also capable. I am afraid that the tiger and leopard cavalry under General Cao Xiu are not his opponents."

Xia Houen snorted softly, "Cai Zhonglang is exaggerating, all the tiger and leopard riders are the elite of our army, everyone can fight ten against one, your nephew looks a bit mighty.

But compared to Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, it is far behind."

Cai Yong laughed and said, "Hahaha, General Xiahouen is right, General Xiahouen is right."

Then he continued, "My nephew has come from a long way. I wonder if General Xiahou can do something to let them go into the city with me. I will definitely thank you someday."

Xia Houen immediately smiled and said, "Cai Zhonglang is being polite, the prime minister has agreed to personally propose marriage to Cai Zhonglang for me, and betroth Yan'er to me, so I have to call you father-in-law instead.

Why do you need to change your mouth on such a trivial matter, even if you don’t speak up, I will let it go, I still have this insight.”

Then with a wave of his right hand, all the surrounding guards retreated to the side immediately.

However, what Xiahouen said just now lingered in Lu Bu's mind.

"The prime minister has agreed to personally propose marriage to Cai Zhonglang for me, and betroth Yan'er to me. Immediately, I have to call you father-in-law instead."

Lu Bu's brows moved slightly, and a touch of anger couldn't help but surged in his heart.

Cai Yan is proficient in all aspects of chess, calligraphy and painting, she is a rare talented woman in this world, how can she marry a scoundrel like Xia Houen.

Turning back sharply, a fierce light burst out in his eyes.

Xiahouen's war horse trembled in fright, and took a few steps back.

Xia Houen couldn't sit still and almost fell off the horse.

Xiahouen was startled, and immediately said angrily, "Boy, what do you do to know that you have already startled my war horse just now."

Lu Bu smiled lightly, "I've heard about General Xiahou's name for a long time, and he was heavily used by Prime Minister Cao. I thought he was so powerful that he couldn't even control a war horse.

It seems nothing more than that! "

Xiahouen raised his head, with a hint of arrogance on his face, "Boy, what are you talking about? I, Xiahouen, fought with the prime minister on the battlefield and won countless battles. How could you, a prodigal son like you, be able to judge him."

Lu Bu laughed and said, "Although your surname is Xiahou, I have only heard of Xiahou Dun and Xiahou Yuan among the Xiahou surnames. As for Xiahouen, I have never heard of it."

There was a hint of anger on Xiahouen's face, "Stinky boy, don't think that you are so arrogant because you have the support of Cai Langzhong. Dare you fight with me, and let you know that there is another Xiahouen in Xiahou's surname."

"Okay, of course you can compete, but I have one more condition, as long as you agree, I will compete with you."

"What conditions?" Xiahouen said loudly.

"Miss Cai Yan and I are childhood sweethearts, childhood sweethearts, and I came here to propose marriage to my uncle.

I didn't expect you to have a foot in it.

That being the case, then we have a battle between men and men.

Whether you win or lose in the martial arts round, if you lose, you have to give up proposing marriage to Cai Zhonglang.

Similarly, if I lose, then I will also give up marrying Miss Cai Yan."

Cai Yong was still a little worried at first, but when he heard Lu Bu's words, he couldn't help but feel a tinge of joy in his heart.

Others don't know Cai Yan's affection for Lu Bu, but Cai Yong is very clear about his father.

Cai Yong once even heard Cai Yan say that he would rather be a heroic concubine than a mediocre wife, so the hero here refers to Lu Bu among the people.

Right now, Xia Houen was already burning with anger. He was at a young age, so he naturally agreed without thinking.

And in his opinion, Lu Bu is just a son of a rich family. Although he has a famous sword on his waist and a BMW on his crotch, they are all fancy and not valued.

Xia Houen said loudly, "What you said just now, I agreed, if I lose to you, then I will give up proposing marriage to Cai Zhonglang, but this is simply impossible.

The sword is merciless, watch your head."

A fierce light flashed in Xiahouen's eyes, and he pulled out his saber violently.

Immediately, he galloped towards Lu Bu with a sharp sword in his hand.

Lu Bu's sword did not come out of its sheath, he just mentioned Zhenyue to block it.

It was only this time that Xiahouen saw the famous sword in Lu Bu's hand more clearly, and it was not only a famous sword but also a famous sword from the Qin Dynasty.

This kind of sword is not only expensive, but also very rare, even if you have money, you can't buy it.

His heart became more and more excited, his face showed a fierce look, the sharp sword in his hand was deadly, and he wanted to kill Lu Bu in order to compete for the famous sword in his hand.

Although Lu Bu is not best at swordsmanship, he is good at fighting on the battlefield for a long time.

It has already melted all the weapons together.

He withstood Xiahouen's three charges in a row.

A burst of heroism shot out from Lu Bu's eyes, and he drew out his sword with a "shua".

I saw the Zhenyue sword "buzzing", and the sharp bronze sword body was shining with a dazzling bronze light under the sunlight.

It made Xiahouen's eyes even more greedy.

Xia Houen was a sword-wielding general under Cao Cao before, with a vicious eye, he could tell if it was a famous sword or not just by looking at it.

Holding the sharp sword in his hand, he slashed at Lu Bu again.

Holding the sword in one hand, Lu Bu slashed forward with all his might.

He abruptly met the saber in Xiahouen's hand.

"bang"

The strong force made Xia Houen's mouth go numb, and his right arm trembled slightly.

I was shocked in my heart, I didn't expect this seemingly insignificant kid to be so powerful.

Looking down at the blade, there was a gap on the blade.

Although the sword in his hand was not a famous sword, it was also a sword bestowed by the prime minister. He did not expect it to be so unbearable under Lu Bu's hands.

With just one sword strike, a gap appeared.

I don't know what kind of sword the famous sword in Lu Bu's hand is.

Both hands were full of fierce light, both hands clenched the hilt of the sword tightly, exhausting all the strength of the whole body, and slashed towards Lu Bu again.

Lu Bu held the hilt of the sword with one hand, and rushed forward fiercely.

"when"

"bang"

The sword in Xiahouen's hand broke with a sound, and the Zhenyue Sword in Lu Bu's hand was already on Xiahouen's neck.

Xia Houen held the broken sword tightly, his hands trembling uncontrollably, and blood oozes from the tiger's mouth.

His complexion trembled slightly, revealing an expression of incredible shock.

Lu Bu smiled lightly and said, "You lost."

Xiahouen lowered his head in shame.

"I hope you keep the promise you made to me."

Xia Houen's heart was full of resignation, he never thought that he would be defeated by an unknown boy who had made countless achievements in a military uniform.

It's not that his skills are inferior to others, or that the famous sword in his hand is too powerful.

If he can also have such a famous sword, he will definitely be more powerful than him.

The corners of his mouth trembled slightly, the more he thought about it, the more indignant he felt, he grabbed a long halberd and shot towards Lu Bu.

He roared angrily, "Die to me!"

"huhuhuhu"

The strong impact pierced through the air.

Lu Bu's face moved slightly, and Zhenyue slashed down with a sword in his hand.

Forcibly cut the long halberd in half.

Everyone's faces were full of astonishment. They didn't expect that someone could split the halberd in half, which was simply too powerful.

Xia Houen's face was also full of shock, he swallowed lightly, with an incredulous expression on his face.

Lu Bu didn't get angry, but turned around and said, "Man, I am willing to admit defeat. I hope you will abide by the agreement between men and give up proposing marriage to Cai Zhonglang."

Xia Houen was still full of unwillingness in his heart, he snorted lightly, and rode his horse towards the city.

The bet just now has long been forgotten.

I thought to myself, "If the prime minister gives the order then, it's up to you whether you agree or not."

Cai Yong saw it, his old face was full of excitement, and he said softly, "Fengxian, let's go to the city quickly."

Under the leadership of Cai Yong, Lu Bu and other talents entered Luoyang City safely.

Cai Yong said, "It was really exciting just now. Among others, Lu Bu, among others, Lu Bu, I didn't expect Feng Xian's swordsmanship to be so exquisite. It is really an eye-opener."

Lu Bu said calmly, "I made Cai Zhonglang laugh, thank you for your help, we can enter Luoyang City."
