Lu Bu, God of War of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 366 Jiang Wei
"Hehe, the honored guest was joking. These two people are worthless. If the honored guest wants to give it to the honored guest, it is a small gift, not a respect." He said with a hearty smile.

"In this way, there will be more shopkeepers. Shopkeepers are so good at life, and their future prospects are limitless." Seeing the shopkeeper deliberately flattering himself.Lu Bu also reciprocated and said.Although Cai Yan was solely responsible for the affairs of the Heqi Chamber of Commerce, the shopkeeper of Wangcai left a good impression on Lu Bu.However, Lu Bu also wanted to promote this person, but what Lu Bu saw at present was only the talent of the shopkeeper Wangcai in doing business. As for the loyalty of the shopkeeper Wangcai, it still needs to be considered.

"Thank you for your kind words. I will see if there is anything else you need. I can give you a good discount." Seeing that I just gave the two captives to Lu Bu, I won Lu Bu's favor, Wangcai The shopkeeper hurriedly said while the iron was hot.

"It's unnecessary, our family doesn't need so many slaves." Lu Bu could only kindly refuse the kindness of the shopkeeper Wangcai. Lu Bu didn't want to waste his own things here.

"What's your name, kid?" When Lu Bu was talking to the shopkeeper Wangcai, Cai Yan had already come to the little boy and asked softly.

"Bad guy, I won't tell you." Hearing Cai Yan's question, the little boy turned around, came to the middle-aged woman, and said bitterly to Cai Yan.

"Eh?" Cai Yan didn't think that this kid would say that he was a bad person, but he was just taken aback for a while, and Ma Shou came back to his senses and said, "I'm not a bad person, so I'll take you to find your sister right away." ?”

"Can you really take me to find my sister?" The little boy asked with interest when he heard Cai Yan's words.

"Of course, but you have to tell me your name first." Seeing the change in the little boy's attitude towards her, Cai Yan asked again with a sly smile.

"My name is Jiang Wei. I promised my father that I would take good care of my sister and mother, but now my sister has been taken away by bad guys." The little boy stood up, patted his chest, and said confidently. His own name, but only for a moment, but he lowered his head, obviously feeling that he did not protect his sister well.

"Jiang Wei? Is your real name Jiang Wei?" The conversation between Cai Yan and the little boy was very ordinary, but when Lu Bu heard Jiang Wei's name, Ying Yingyue felt a little familiar, but he couldn't remember it when he thought about it.But this has already made Lu Bu understand that Jiang Wei is not an ordinary person. He really didn't expect that he would meet a talent just by walking around here.

"My lord, have you ever heard of the name Jiang Wei?" Seeing Lu Bu's surprised expression, Xun Yu looked at Lu Bu strangely and asked. Xun Yu didn't understand that Jiang Wei was just an ordinary child. With this feeling of surprise, you must know that Lu Bu is now the lord of a state, and the big man is also a big warlord, so it is too incredible to be surprised by a little kid.

"Hehe, Mr. Xun was joking. How could I have heard of a kid's name." Although Lu Bu did not hide his surprise, he still denied Xun Yu's statement. Others listen.

"My husband must like this child. I think it's better for us to adopt him as a foster son. I don't know what your husband wants?" Seeing that Lu Bu was very interested in the child in front of him, Cai Yan suddenly said.

"A foster son? Forget it, just keep them by your side." Although Lu Bu knew that he wanted to cultivate the Jiang Wei in front of him, the best way was to adopt Jiang Wei as a foster son, and he had saved Jiang Wei before. Deng Ai, Lu Bu had these two adopted sons, which laid the foundation for decades of development.It's just that Lu Bu was resistant to the matter of "accepting adopted sons". It must be that Lu Bu and his two adoptive fathers did not have any good results in the end, and naturally he was unwilling to have such a relationship with others.

"Um, that's what my husband said, so be it." Seeing that Lu Bu's face suddenly became serious, Cai Yan naturally thought of Lu Bu's sadness, so he consciously kept silent.

"You are Jiang Wei's mother, so you can live with us in the future." At this time, Lu Bu had already come to Wei's mother and said.

"Thank you, sir." Mother Jiang didn't say much, she was obviously prepared for her fate of being at the mercy of others, but after being released from the cage, she held Jiang Wei in her arms and shed tears.

When Lu Bu and the others walked around and came to the Heqi Inn, Cheng Lian had already been waiting there, with a little girl beside him, and the dead girl's face was a little pale at this time, obviously frightened .

"Sister, sister." At this moment, the little Jiang Wei next to Lu Bu rushed over as soon as he saw the little girl, yelling non-stop.

"Brother, brother, you are here too." Unlike Jiang Wei's expression of wanting to cry, he was a little surprised to see Jiang Wei's little girl, but his whole expression was a little timid, especially when he looked at Cheng Lian.

"Uh, why is Cheng Lian the only one of you? Could it be that you bought this little girl with [-] yuan?" Seeing only Cheng Lian and the little girl appearing, Tai Shici couldn't help but said.

"Hey, there's no need to be so troublesome. At that time, I followed the man and left. Who knew that the man was afraid that he would not be able to take away ten thousand yuan, but he took the little girl out of the city to find someone, so I naturally solved it. " Cheng Lian said with a chuckle.The reason why Lu Bu and others were threatened by that man was because doing something in Heqi City would not have a good influence on the Heqi Chamber of Commerce.The business of the Heqi Chamber of Commerce must be on track.But when he went out of the city to solve this matter, Lu Bu didn't care. Lu Bu was not a pedantic person.Knowing this, Cheng Lian followed out and looked for opportunities to fight.

"You are already a famous general, why do you still do this kind of thing like robbing houses." Hearing Cheng Lian's words, Tai Shici said noncommittally.Surely Cheng Lian is the general who leads the troops, and he is considered number one in Xiliang, so what is the difference between doing such a thing and a gangster?

"Hehe, Brother Taishi, you may not be too overwhelmed. What we are doing in Xianbei now is much more than this amount, and I don't see any opinions from you. Why are you upset about such a trivial matter?" Cheng Lian said indifferently.From Cheng Lian's point of view, if that guy wanted to blackmail Lu Bu, he deserved to die, and he wouldn't think there was anything wrong with what he did.

"How could it be the same as the fact that the two countries fought each other and killed each other." Tai Shici obviously couldn't agree with Cheng Lian's words.

"Okay, you don't need to argue. Although your views are different, whether it's the war against the Xianbei or the killing of the scum among the Han people, as long as you have a clear conscience." Lu Bu saw that the two were not speculative.So he mediated from it, and now there is no legal basis for killing people in troubled times, so Lu Bu can only prevaricate with a clear conscience.

"The general is not well. A large number of Xianbei cavalry appeared outside the city." At this moment, a soldier hurried over and came to Cheng Lian to report to Cheng Lian.This soldier was brought by Cheng Lian, so of course he didn't know Lu Bu, so he just reported to Cheng Lian.

"There is an army of Xianbei people outside the general's city. Please show me how to deal with it." Cheng Lian was taken aback when he heard this, but immediately turned around and saluted Lu Bu beside him.Originally, these matters were handled by Cheng Lian himself, but now that Lu Bu is here, Cheng Lian naturally retreats to the second line.

"Hehe, although I know that the Xianbei people will know about this place sooner or later, but the time is faster than I thought." Hearing Cheng Lian's report, Lu Bu said thoughtfully.However, facing the current situation, Lu Bu was not worried. He just told Cheng Lian, "Retreat your people into the city to help defend. Zhang Liao is in charge here, and the Xianbei people will not be so easy to get."

"Yes." After taking the order, Cheng Lian turned and left.

"Dangdang, Dangdang." At this moment, the rapid bell rang suddenly in Heqi City, and then the pedestrians on the street quickly dispersed to the surroundings, and quickly disappeared in the streets and alleys.Apparently the bell was used as an early warning.

"Um, it's on fire. Could it be that spies from the Xianbei have entered the city?" At this moment, black smoke suddenly rose from the center of Heqi City, and seeing this scene, Tai Shici raised his brows and said solemnly.

"Um, because it shouldn't be. That's where the Heqi Chamber of Commerce is located. The Heqi Chamber of Commerce was built on the territory of the Xianbei people. Would the Heqi Chamber of Commerce be so careless?" Contrary to Tai Shici's worries, seeing the rising smoke, Xun Yu said thoughtfully.Although Tai Shici's worry was also very possible, Xun Yu knew that Zhang Liao was in charge of fighting against Xianbei. Zhang Liao was not an ordinary character, so how could he be so careless.

"Hehe, Mr. Xun Yu is really insightful. If I guess well, it should be the smoke from the Heqi Chamber of Commerce." Seeing Xun Yu talking, Lu Bu also nodded and said.

"Husband, if you want to know, you can just ask me, why bother to guess here." Seeing a few men guessing where, Cai Yan said directly.As the only city of the Heqi Chamber of Commerce, although Cai Yan had never been there before, he knew the layout of Heqi City well.

"Hehe, Mr. Xun Yu and I are not just guessing, we just have confidence in Zhang Liao." Lu Bu said with a chuckle.

"That's right, Zhang Liao is alert and well versed in the art of war, so naturally he wouldn't make such a mistake." Xun Yu also said with a smile.

"Hey, you men must want to go to the battlefield to see this situation. Then I will take the three of them back to the inn first." Seeing Lu Bu and the others talking about the war, Cai Yan shook his head. Shaking his head, he said.Cai Yan naturally understood that the current enemy was at hand. Although they said they had great confidence in Zhang Liao, Lu Bu would naturally have to see this kind of thing for himself, so Cai Yan took the lead to say goodbye.

"Well, you go to rest, I'll be back soon." Regarding Cai Yan's knowledge, Lu Bu smiled and nodded, but when he turned his head and saw Xiao Jiang Wei, he said: "Little Jiang Wei, don't you Do you want to protect your sister and mother? Do you want to go and see how to protect everyone with your uncle?"

"Uncle, take me. I want to know how to protect everyone." Hearing Lu Bu's words, Jiang Wei did not answer immediately, but looked at his mother and sister beside him, bit his lips, and said firmly.

When Lu Bu came to the city wall with Xun Yu, Tai Shici and Xiao Jiang Wei, Cheng Lian was already waiting there, and there were several people dressed as scribes beside him, and one of them turned out to be the shopkeeper Wangcai he had seen before. Except for Cheng Lian's men and horses, most of them were the guards of the Heqi Chamber of Commerce. These people looked at the Xianbei cavalry outside the city without any timidity, and they looked as imposing as Cheng Lian's soldiers.

"General, you are here, this way please." Seeing Lu Budao approaching, Cheng hurriedly stepped forward and said.

Cheng Lian's move surprised some people standing beside him. The shopkeeper Wangcai, who wanted to go up to say hello, was also startled, so he gave up the idea of ​​going up to say hello. Know that the other party is noble.It may not be that he can climb high.

"Help me find a stool, I'm here to see a show today." Seeing Cheng Lian approaching, Lu Bu said with a relaxed smile.

"This, isn't it good?" Cheng Lian has always obeyed Lu Bu's orders, but today he really couldn't react. In Cheng Lian's memory, Lu Bu was brave and invincible, and he always rushed to the front, but today he looked relaxed. Cheng Lian didn't understand whether he heard it wrong or Lu Bu suddenly changed.

"Hehe, General Cheng Lian is in trouble and go find a stool. General Lu Bu is tired after walking all the way." Seeing Cheng Lian hesitating and Xun Yu walking over, he let go of his voice and said. The identity was announced.

"General Lu Bu? That's General Lu Bu."

"The God of War, General Lu Bu, is here?"

Hearing the news of Lu Budao's arrival, the originally quiet city wall suddenly became active, and everyone showed excited expressions. The Xianbei people in front of the team members and the guards of Heqi City were still a little worried, but when they heard There is no need to worry about Lu Bu's name. In their hearts, Lu Bu is an undefeated god of war, and the Xianbei people in front of them are nothing.

"Hehe, don't worry, General Lu Bu will give you another chance at this time, don't you want to perform well in front of General Lu Bu?" Seeing that his words really had the purpose of boosting the morale of the army, Xun Yu pulled Cheng Lian again walked aside and said.

"Thank you sir for your reminder." Originally, Cheng Lian thought that Lu Bu's appearance was a bit strange, but Cheng Lian was a little surprised when he heard Xun Yu's words. You must know that Lu Bu always rushed to the front in battle, so the generals behaved in front of Lu Bu. Opportunities are rare, and now Lu Bu has made it clear that he will not participate in the battle, but just watch the battle, and then look at the entire Heqi City, only himself, the general who leads the troops, is there, so the whole Heqi City guarding battle is not an opportunity for him to perform.Thinking of this, Cheng Lian suddenly became excited, wanting to perform well in front of Lu Bu.

Not long after, an elegant long table and a bench appeared on the city wall of Heqi City. Lu Bu sat on the bench and took a cup of tea to taste. Not far away, as Heqi City Cheng Lian, the supreme commander, is nervously preparing defensive equipment. Heqi City has not been built soon, and there are not many equipment available for defense. However, Heqi City is a commercial distribution center, and there is no shortage of various groceries, such as oil pans and the like. However, many unconventional weapons were prepared in a short period of time.

"Um, General Cheng Lian is probably too busy alone, why don't I help you?" Tai Shici said a little uneasily when he saw that Cheng was busy working non-stop, but he could only stand behind Lu Bu.Tai Shici had no position in Lu Bu's army, no matter how talented he was, he couldn't mobilize a single soldier without Lu Bu's approval, so he could only ask Lu Bu to stand up.

"Hehe, Cheng Lian alone can arrange the matter of defending the city. You can cultivate your spirit now. There will be plenty of enemies for you to kill in a while, so there is no need to rush." ​​Lu Bu smiled kindly and refused. This is not Lu Bu. I don't believe in Tai Shici's ability, but the offensive of the Xianbei people is just around the corner. It is not a good idea for Lu Bu to send generals before the battle. I am afraid that when the soldiers realize that they have another boss, the Xianbei people have already attacked the city.

"Haha, General Taishi really isn't used to being idle. I dare you to ask General Lu Bu to take a certain position in the army for General Taishi. I wonder if General Lu Bu can agree?" Lu Bu just rejected Taishi Ci, but he didn't expect that Xun Yu said in a lukewarm manner.

"Haha, Mr. Xun Yu was joking. It would be an honor for Lu Bu if General Taishi could join our army. There is no reason why he would not, but I don't know if General Taishi is willing to give in." Hearing Xun Yu's words, Lu Bu suddenly Then, he said with some excitement.

Lu Bu brought Tai Shici by his side in the hope that one day he would be able to subdue Tai Shici. He was using him for his own use, so naturally there was no reason not to keep quiet. As long as Tai Shici was willing, Lu Bu would be fine with a hundred of them.

"Little general Tai Shici, I have met my lord." Hearing what Lu Bu said, Tai Shici turned his eyes to Xun Yu, then bowed down and said.In the past, Tai Shici was unwilling to follow Lu Bu because of his bad reputation. He was afraid that following Lu Bu would not only honor his ancestors, but also be criticized by others. However, what he saw and heard around Lu Bu these days changed Tai Shici's opinion. Lu Bu was fierce and cruel to foreigners, but he cared for his own people and subordinates, and had a unique strategic vision. Even Xun Yu sometimes looked at Lu Bu with admiration and began to get closer and closer to Lu Bu. Ci naturally has nothing to say.

"With the help of General Tai Shici, Lu Bu is like a tiger with wings." Seeing Tai Shici recognize the Lord, Lu Bu stretched out his hand to help Tai Shici up, and said with a smile.

"It is Tai Shici's blessing to be coveted by General Lu Bu. Although Tai Shici has offended a lot these days, General Lu Bu doesn't mind. This is a model of a benevolent monarch. Tai Shici can meet the Lord of Ming, so what can I ask for?" " Tai Shici looked at Lu Bu and remembered what happened between him and Lu Bu, and felt that if these things were exchanged for others, they might not be able to tolerate them. In troubled times, it is very common to kill them if they cannot be used by me, but Lu Bu did. Just tolerating myself to stay by his side for so many troubled days, and sometimes even changing the assignment of important responsibilities, this kind of trust and understanding is not something ordinary people can do.
