Lu Bu, God of War of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 558 Invite Pang Tong

"How could there be officers and soldiers coming? What should I do?" Hearing the news of the arrival of the officers and soldiers, all the scholars panicked.
"Go quickly and see if there is a back door." Someone turned his attention to the restaurant here, wanting to leave through the back door.

"Everyone stand up for me. Someone secretly reported that you gathered a crowd here to slander the Prime Minister. I am ordered to come here. Be honest with me, so as not to suffer." At this time, I saw a The soldiers of the army rushed in, and one of the generals said arrogantly to the soldiers present.

"This military lord, I and a few friends are just discussing the exam questions for the entrance to the new school in Yecheng, and there is nothing presumptuous. Please be careful not to arrest a good person by mistake." Seeing some The officers and soldiers had already rushed in, and it was impossible to escape, so Pang Tong bit the bullet and stood up for everyone.Want to get away with it.

"Hmph, do you think you can fool this general? Let me tell you, if you are just talking about the exam questions, this general will never ask about it. However, some of you have framed the prime minister for rebellion, which is a heinous crime. How can such a human general tolerate him?" To show off in Yecheng and damage the reputation of the Prime Minister?" After speaking, the general raised his head and glanced around the crowd.The crowd that had already been in chaos gradually calmed down, because everyone finally knew that the purpose of the military master's visit was not for everyone, but only for those who Lu Bu wanted to rebel.It's just that, the people who just came out to write their opinions secretly felt remorse in their hearts, and all of them looked at Lu Bu with some unkind eyes. It must be Lu Bu who tried every means to make them express their thoughts of.

"Well, if you dare to slander the prime minister, you should think about what will happen." At this time, the general who led the troops finally spoke: "Come here, arrest me."

As soon as the general finished speaking, he saw a young man with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks, dressed like an ordinary scholar, walking in from the entrance of the tavern.

"It's him." Seeing this person, everyone finally understood the reason why the officers and soldiers came suddenly. It turned out that someone had informed them, and at this moment, someone had already recognized the person who came, although they didn't know the name of this sharp-mouthed monkey-cheeked scholar. , but obviously saw this person present not long ago.

"Hey, everyone, I'm sorry, if you want to blame, I can only blame you for not keeping your duty." As soon as this sharp-mouthed monkey-cheeked scholar appeared in front of everyone, he smiled, showing a mouthful of white teeth, which made people feel With a chill, those young people who were stared at by this person couldn't help shivering.

"Shopkeeper, Xiao Er, come and help identify people." At this moment, the general who led the troops suddenly added.The young man who reported the letter must have been away for a long time, but the shopkeeper and the waiter here were present all the time, so there would be absolutely no omissions in letting them come to identify people.

"Wait." Just when everyone thought that there was no room for turning around.A cold voice came from a corner, and then a tall and thick man stood up. Naturally, this man was very unfamiliar to scholars, but when he saw this man, the general who led the army immediately froze and hurriedly He showed a respectful expression.

"Excuse me, general, what are your orders?" I saw this general hurried forward to salute, because this man was none other than Xu Chu who was staying beside Lu Bu to lead the wolf cavalry.

"Um, the wine here is good. If you like it, sit down and taste it. If you are not interested in the wine here, you should leave earlier." I saw Xu Chu reaching out his hand to stroke his beard under the gaze of everyone, and then inexplicably Said.

It turned out that Xu Chu followed Lu Bu to this tavern that day, but Xu Chu had no interest in what Lu Bu was talking about with these scholars. For Xu Chu, everything was very simple. Lu Bu is.However, when these people said that Lu Bu was going to rebel, Xu Chu couldn't help feeling angry. This doesn't mean that Xu Chu didn't support Lu Bu's rebellion. If Lu Bu really wanted to rebel, Xu Chu would still support him without hesitation. I can't bear the sight of this group of poor scholars chewing Lu Bu's tongue behind his back and making irresponsible remarks.But since Lu Bu was here and didn't say anything, it was naturally not Xu Chu's turn to speak out for this kind of thing.But at this time, a group of officers and soldiers broke in, wanting to arrest these irresponsible people, which made Xu Chu feel very happy, but at this time, Lu Bu's personal soldiers came to convey Lu Bu's order, and asked Xu Chu to stop The general's approach.Although Xu Chu was somewhat unwilling, Lu Bu's order was irresistible, so Xu Chu stood up and said such a nondescript sentence.

"Uh, general, are you serious?" Seeing what Xu Chu said, the general seemed to realize something, but it was not obvious. If there was any disloyalty, the general would never believe it, but Xu Chu acted like this, there must be some reason for it, so the general asked with some uncertainty.

"Grandma, haven't you heard what I said clearly? Get out of here." Originally, Xu Chu wanted to pay attention to his language skills in front of this group of scholars, but unexpectedly, he was suspected by the people below, so He shouted loudly at the general.

"The young general understands, so let's leave now." Seeing Xu Chu like this, the general knew that Xu Chu was not joking, so he turned around and left quickly, while the soldier behind him walked away in a huff.

"Let's go too. You bring a few people and invite me to the mansion with that Pang Tong." Seeing that he had nothing to do, Lu Bu also stood up at this time, although he felt that the group of scholars had some doubts about his intentions. However, how can the progressive idea of ​​constitutional monarchy be explained clearly in a short while, not to mention that some things will become darker and darker.

"Prime Minister, Pang Tong has already been brought here." Not long after Lu Bu returned to the mansion, some soldiers stepped forward to report that Pang Tong had been brought here.

"Oh, so fast? You didn't make any noise, did you?" Seeing that his own soldiers were doing things so quickly, Lu Bu asked.It must have happened not long ago in the tavern, and Lu Bu didn't want his subordinates to make any noise.

"Don't worry, Prime Minister, this subordinate found Pang Tong in a street and did not alarm anyone." Seeing Lu Bu's question, the soldier showed a clear smile and replied to Lu Bu.

"Didn't Xu Chu say that it's okay for that guy to treat me like this? You gangsters are actually doing something wrong." Not long after, Lu Bu saw two soldiers walking in with a black cloth bag. The black cloth bag was obviously filled with Pang Tong, but this Pang Tong was also considered a scheming person, and he carried out Xu Chu as soon as he came up, obviously guessing that the other party must be Lu Bu's subordinate.

"Hey, how can you treat my guests like this? I asked you to invite people. The way you invite people is really different." Seeing this situation, Lu Bu was also very angry and funny. He must be from the Han Dynasty. The prime minister, his status is extremely noble, but the people under him still can't change his previous habits in doing things. Such behavior makes Lu Bu feel that he is not the leader of the Han Dynasty, but a big brother in a certain underworld.

"Well, why is it you?" When Lu Bu untied the pocket himself and released Pang Tong, Pang Tong was obviously very surprised to see Lu Bu arrive.

"Hehe, it's all because the people below are powerless, but little brother Pang has been wronged." Seeing that Pang Tong was fine, Lu Bu pointed to the seat next to him and asked Pang Tong to sit down, and then said.

"Hehe, please forgive my poor eyesight and offense in the hotel. I thought you were just a down-and-out scribe who wanted to chase after the prime minister, but I didn't expect that you are the prime minister's person, but I don't know what to call you?" When Lv Bu wrote down the words "reform the imperial power" in the hotel, Pang Tong thought that Lv Bu wanted to get a half-job and deliberately defended Lv Bu. Thinking about it this way, Pang Tong understood that the person in front of him must be Lu Bu's subordinate, if not, he wouldn't have the idea of ​​"reforming the imperial power".

"Hehe, sir is really sharp, but I do have a great relationship with Lu Bu. And the reason why I came here is to ask him for help." Lu Bu did not deny Pang Tong's guess, but said so vaguely One sentence, and then said.

"Hehe, your Excellency asked me to come here. Even if you need my help, you should at least let me know your identity. Otherwise, it will appear too insincere." In contrast, Pang Tong wanted to know more about Lu Bu. Identity. Only by knowing Lu Bu's identity can Pang Tong understand his situation so that he can react appropriately. If he doesn't even know the other party's identity, then he has no way of judging the other party's purpose for a long time, so how can he think of a countermeasure?

"Of course I will tell you my identity, but please answer my question first, and I will naturally satisfy you." Lu Bu paused for a moment, saw Pang Tong nodding, and immediately continued, "Mister is a rare man. A man of lofty ideals, Mr. I don’t know, have you ever thought that the future of the big man should go to peace? In other words, Mr. I don’t think how can we save the big man?”

"The general trend of the world, the long-term division must be united, and the long-term union must be divided. The great man has experienced hundreds of years of peace and stability. At this time, wars and chaos abound. When a wise king is born, the world will be wiped out, the dirt will be cleared, and the world will be cleared. Save the people of Li from the fire. Your Excellency, the reason why Pang Tong traveled around to study is to seek out wise rulers so as to help the country." Seeing what Lu Bu said, Pang Tong did not evade any more, and directly expressed his thoughts.
