Chapter 230 The Battle of the Palace Gate (Part [-])
But when Lu Bu returned to the small courtyard, he suddenly found many boxes of things piled up in the courtyard, so he couldn't help asking the old lady, "Where did these things come from? What's in them?"

"Returning to the master, these things were sent by a Mr. Li. He said that they are friends of the master. These things are needed by the master and his wife. However, Mrs. Xiulian said that these things will not be changed until the master comes back to look at them. deal with it, so we haven't moved."

Hearing what the old lady said, Lu Bu knew that Dong Zhuo must have sent Li Su over. As for the purpose, he knew best: "Did Mr. Li say anything else? Didn't he say what's in the box?"

"Mr. Li didn't say anything else, he just said that when the master is free, he will come to visit again."

"Go over and open the box to see what's there." Lu Bu stopped, and at this time Xiulian also came out to meet him. After hearing Lu Bu's order, she directed the servants to open the box while gently Ask Lu Bu:

"Master, is Mr. Li really your friend? It seems that Mr. Li is the one who bought the concubine and sent it here."

"Don't ask more about these things in the future. I promise you to live a good life here, and ask less about other things." Lu Bu didn't answer.

"Yes, the concubine was wrong, and I will never ask about the master again." Xiulian seemed a little frightened.

"Don't be afraid. I just won't tell you if you ask, and I won't blame you. I don't tell you these things. It's not that I can't tell you, but I'm afraid it will add to your troubles. I want to see you every day Look happy, I don't want you to worry too much about me."

Lu Bula held Xiulian, gently stretched out his hand to smooth the hair around her face, and said to her gently, seeing her relieved, with a smile on her face, she also laughed.

"My lord and madam, there are twelve boxes in total, eight of which are filled with silk fabrics of various colors, presumably for making clothes for the lord and his wife. There are also four boxes containing various rouges. Fendai, such as gouache, are also for Madam."

At this time, the old lady had opened those boxes one by one with people, and after looking at the contents in turn, she ran over to report to Lu Bu, and Xiulian had already seen the contents of the boxes, and her eyes showed a look of joy. .

"Oh, let's take a look, how are these things?" Lu Bu said softly, and then took Xiulian to check the contents of the box, and found that they were all of the highest quality.

"Xiulian, how are you doing? Do you like these things? Are these things not good?" Lu Bu saw Xiulian stretching out her hand to touch this, then picking up that to look at, but in the end she put them all down with a look of joy. Returning to him calmly, he couldn't help asking.

"Master, it's not that these things are bad, but they're great. Xiulian has sung operas for those rich families before, and knows that only the wives and ladies of those rich families can afford these things. Xiulian thought, if you collect Would it be troublesome for the master to sell these things? If that's the case, no matter how much Xiulian likes these things, she will definitely not want them, so the master should return them."

"Hehe, since I like it, of course I accept it. Why do you have to return it? Others sent it with good intentions. Wouldn't it be disrespectful to others to return it. Besides, our Xiulian likes it, so the master will keep it for you. , don’t worry about other things, let’s go into the house.”

Naturally, some servants lifted the things from the house and put them away, while Xiulian accompanied Lu Bu to take a bath and change clothes, and then enjoyed the sumptuous dinner served by the servants together, and then waited for Lu Bu to rest. Poor.

The next day, Ding Yuan was about to go to court, and Lu Bu returned to the barracks early in the morning. Although Ding Yuan didn't scold him, he didn't show him a good face, and he didn't speak cold words to him along the way, so that Lu Bu could My heart is even more on fire.

Outside the palace gate, many civil and military officials waited for the door to be opened, and chatted with each other naturally, and many people greeted Ding Yuan and Lu Bu one after another, because everyone knew about the struggle between Ding Yuan and Dong Zhuo.

Now that Dong Zhuo is very powerful, all civil and military officials are a little bit afraid, and it is naturally something that everyone is happy to see that one person can stand up to him, so many ministers praised him endlessly.

Of course, there are also some ministers who are forced by Dong Zhuo's lustful power, or because they are timid and fearful, so they dare not talk to Ding Yuan, but choose to observe secretly from the side. If you choose the wrong person, you will suffer in the future.

At this moment, Taiwei Dong Zhuo also came over accompanied by Li Ru, Hua Xiong and other civil and military officials. At that moment, some ministers greeted him with smiling faces and compliments, while Dong Zhuo's face was full of smiles, and he nodded one by one. with.

"Hey, isn't this General Lu? The last time I saw the general's invincible demeanor galloping back and forth, I admired Dong Zhuo very much. It's a pity that I don't have such a talented general in Xiliang. What a majesty, it's fascinating."

Who knew that Dong Zhuo came directly to Ding Yuan, but he didn't look at Ding Yuan at all, instead he talked to Lv Bu with a smile, and his words were full of appreciation for Lv Bu, and he didn't even hide his admiration for Lv Bu. Want to poach the corner of the mind.

"The Taiwei has won the prize, Lu is not talented, so it's hard to be a big job."

In front of all civil and military officials, Dong Zhuo valued him so much, which filled Lu Bu's heart with a strong sense of satisfaction and a kind of vanity, but with Ding Yuan at his side, he naturally couldn't say much, he could only say a few words of humility , but he did not scold Dong Zhuo as usual, which made Ding Yuan feel dissatisfied with him.

"What? Taiwei Dong has taken a fancy to your son Fengxian, but unfortunately I haven't heard that you have a third daughter. Otherwise, my son Fengxian can take her as a concubine. Also, the Taiwei will tell others about you every now and then. There are 20 Xiliang troops, do you want to threaten civil and military officials? Who doesn't know that Zhang Yan in Montenegro has millions of yellow scarves under his command, and your 20 Xiliang troops may not be enough to put people's teeth, and you still have to show off everywhere. Besides, who doesn't know that the land of Xiliang is a land of barbarians, and there are hundreds of Qiang people living there, so how can you rule them?"

Facing Dong Zhuo's shamelessness, Ding Yuan refuted without mercy, and sneered at his self-proclaimed 20 Xiliang army, but Ding Yuan's analysis also made some sense. There are only more than 20 people under his command, and nearly 10 people are under the control of various forces.

For example, Ma Teng from Xiliang is a leader of the Baiqiang people. He has [-] troops in his hands, all formed by the most fierce Baiqiang people, and his combat power is not inferior to that of Dong Zhuo.

There is also a Han Sui from Xiliang. He is Han, but his ancestors have been rooted in Xiliang for hundreds of years. Now he is also a wealthy family in Xiliang, and his subordinates also control tens of thousands of troops.

In addition, Xiliang also has some Baiqiang forces and Han forces, large and small. They now obey Dong Zhuo in name, but in fact they will stab Dong Zhuo in the back whenever they get a chance, and the young emperor Liu Bian also sent people to Xiliang to find out. Under these circumstances, Dong Zhuo was dragged in the capital, making Xiliang a land of no man. Gradually, chaos would inevitably occur, and Dong Zhuo's power would be greatly weakened.

"Ding Jianyang, it's not because you are afraid of my Xiliang army. With your army and horses in Bingzhou, it's not enough to fill the gap between the Taiwei's teeth. Besides, if it wasn't for the heroic boy of General Lu, with you The ability of a fool has already been kicked by Taiwei Ben with his head chopped off, and he is still boasting here."

Dong Zhuo was kind to Lv Bu, but he also had no good face when he was with Ding Yuan. He was sneering and threatening, and he almost rolled up his arms and went straight to fight.

"squeak--"

Just when the atmosphere was a little tense, the Suzaku door of the palace suddenly opened, and all civil and military officials entered in order. Dong Zhuo and Ding Yuan also snorted at each other at the same time, and went in separately.

However, when Ding Yuan started, he stared at Lu Bu coldly, his gaze was full of doubts and warnings towards him, which made Lu Bu quite unhappy.

"My dear family, now there are reports from Liangzhou and Bingzhou in the north, some counties and counties in Jingzhou in the south, Yangzhou in the southeast, Xuzhou in the east, Youzhou and Qingzhou in the northeast, and Yizhou in the west. , killing officials of the imperial court, robbing the people's property, doing all kinds of evil, making the people of the world unable to live in peace. You are all important officials of the Han court, what good strategy can you have?"

Young Emperor Liu Bian sat high on the dragon chair. Although his voice seemed young, his words were very heavy. The news he brought shocked all civil and military officials. Everyone knew that there were many chaos in the world. Knowing the specific situation too well, now that the young emperor said it, they realized that the remaining bandits of the Yellow Turban had such a momentum.

The civil and military officials in the court are all aware of the chaos caused by the Yellow Turban thieves, because it has only been a few years.Although the main figures of the Yellow Turbans, the Zhang brothers and some of the giants, have been put to death, there are still many remnants of the Yellow Turbans lurking in various states and counties, and some remnants of the Yellow Turbans have been active and difficult to eliminate.

However, the imperial court didn't pay attention to the remaining Yellow Turban thieves. Instead, it ordered the governors of the prefectures and counties to lead the local troops to exterminate them, but unexpectedly, more and more of them would be suppressed.

Now hearing the young emperor's question, many ministers lowered their heads one after another, because they really had no good way.However, there is always a lot of talent in the imperial court, and Situ Wangyun stood up right now:
"My Majesty, the imperial court has formed a conquest army. Now that the world is in chaos, it's time for the conquest army to contribute. I think that you can send the Taiwei and other generals to lead the conquest army to the four directions to crusade against the remaining Yellow Turban thieves. Sweep the world."
