The warm wind blew in through the curtains. Compared with the outside, it was still too hot inside the carriage.
Lu Ling pushed aside some of the packages beside him. Inside was some leather, which was originally intended to be given to his father to make a leather armor.
However, it seems that it is not necessary now, because she has just received the news that her father has also taken refuge with that person.
Lu Ling looked at the shade of trees outside the window, and her thoughts couldn't help but go back to that day a few months ago.
If I hadn't kicked that kick, would everything have been different?
There just aren’t that many ifs.
Throughout the spring, she stayed at the Hot Spring Villa in the east of the city, and her food, clothing, housing and transportation were all arranged by Wei's people.
It was not that Lu Ling had never thought about leaving Hedong County, but facing the Wei family's female guards, she couldn't beat them, and she couldn't leave even if she wanted to.
Lu Ling once felt that Wei Cheng was retaliating against him in disguise.
Until today, she didn't know that in Wei Cheng's eyes, she might be a bargaining chip of some value.
It felt uncomfortable to be used as a bargaining chip, but Lu Ling found that she couldn't hate it anymore.
The better I get to know that person, the less I can hate him. Instead, I feel sincere admiration and... a little bit moved.
By the way, I have reached the age when it is time to talk about marriage.
Lu Ling leaned against the window worriedly, and the beautiful scenery along the way seemed like passing clouds in her eyes.
Historically, Lu Bu would marry Yuan Shu in almost two years, but it did not succeed. This shows that Lu Ling has reached his age.
Knock knock~
"Miss, we are here."
Lu Ling came back to his senses and raised his eyes to look at the city gate tower in front of him.
Because all animals are prohibited from traveling in Anyi City, they need to transfer to a rickshaw here.
Mammy had already summoned several rickshaws to wait, but seeing that Lu Ling seemed to be thinking about something very important, she didn't bother them.
But there was an endless stream of merchants and pedestrians queuing up behind, and in the end there was no choice but to let the maid come forward to inform him.
Lu Ling used to have a bad temper and would often beat and scold these servants. The older nuns were very jealous of her.
I thought Lu Ling would scold the little maid, but Lu Ling just nodded slightly and transferred to a rickshaw with the little maid waiting.
Several nuns looked at each other, wondering what happened to the eldest lady today?
Is it because the master is back?
However, when the master came back in the past, the young lady's temper would only get hotter.
The few people who couldn't figure it out could only quickly pack their bags and follow them into the city.
"Is that Lu Fengxian's daughter?"
At the gate of the city, several young men couldn't help but stop and watch.
The rickshaw has only one roof, so you can see the cool-looking woman on the seat at a glance.
Needless to say, Lu Ling's figure inherited Lu Bu's genes, and his appearance is similar. Lu Bu was a handsome man in history.
The Red Rabbit is among men, and Lu Bu is among horses. This is not only because Lu Bu possesses strong martial arts, but the ancients also paid great attention to appearance.
In ancient times, officials were selected based on appearance, let alone evaluating a man.
Women in their twenties and eighties are the most intoxicating, especially because this flower is exceptionally clear and beautiful, and with a father as strong as Lu Bu as the background, it immediately arouses the desire to conquer among several young masters.
"Hello, I'm Hongnong Yang, Yang..."
"roll!"
"Okay, excuse me, miss."
What a conquest, this woman's aura is too strong.
Several young men looked at each other, and finally left angrily.
Just one look from Lu Ling made them extinguish the desires in their hearts. They don't know if there is any other man in the world who can conquer such a woman who is so rejected from thousands of miles away...
At this moment, a casual and somewhat lazy greeting sounded.
"Miss Lu, long time no see, would you like a bowl of cold and delicious sweet soup to soothe your throat?"
Everyone followed the sound and saw a young man in white smiling at Lu Ling at a stall selling tofu bread. Behind the young man in white stood a strong man like an iron tower, with a pair of golden phoenix wings behind him. The halberd still shone coldly in the sunlight.
Anyone who knew him immediately came forward to greet him respectfully, either as 'Shijun' or 'Second Master', and some called him 'Sir'.
The person who called him "sir" was obviously a student of Heluo College. After all, Wei Cheng also often went to teach. He was half a teacher at Heluo College, teaching some herbal medicine and general physics knowledge.
Seeing Wei Cheng again, Lu Ling's cold eyebrows showed a trace of sadness, but because of Wei Cheng's invitation, there was a hint of joy in his heart, and he agreed without hesitation.
"Okay, but I'm a salty party member."
Wei Qing smiled and asked the landlady to serve a portion of salted tofu puffs. Should I say, why does salted tofu puffs exist in the world?
"Miss Lu, are you still getting used to living in the Hot Spring Villa?"
Wei Cheng took a sip of the tofu with honey and raised his eyes to look at Lu Ling in front of him.
Lu Ling mixed the chili oil in the bowl with a spoon, nodded slightly and said, "It's not bad. It would be better if there weren't so many people watching."
There was a bit of resentment in his words, and Wei Cheng laughed, but didn't explain anything.
The reason why he sent someone to watch Lu Ling was entirely because of Lu Bu's entrustment. Otherwise, Lu Ling would leave if he wanted to, and he would never stop him.
After the two simply finished their breakfast, they did not separate immediately, but headed to the Lu Mansion in the south of the city together.
In fact, Wei Cheng came here specially to 'encounter' Lu Ling by chance, in order to take her with him to meet Lu Bu.
Lu Bu asked him to take care of his daughter at the beginning, and now she has returned to Zhao intact.
Approach your own time.
Lu Bu and his eight generals finally arrived at Anyi County.
There was not much movement. Under the leadership of the city guard, the group arrived at the house located in the south of the city.
Lu Bu originally wanted to go to the Wei Mansion to ask for an audience with Wei Cheng as soon as possible, but he didn't expect to find that Wei Cheng had been waiting at home for a long time.
Seeing his daughter standing behind Wei Cheng, Lu Bu's eyes flashed with tenderness.
He was just such a precious daughter, and he would be lying if he said he didn't love her. Seeing his daughter becoming more and more shining and moving, Lu Bu looked at Wei Cheng again, with an inexplicable closeness in his eyes.
Lu Bu left his daughter in Anyi just because he wanted her to get together with Wei Cheng. Looking at the situation now, is there any chance? !
Lu Bu laughed, stepped forward and saluted with his fists in his hands, "I've met Mr. Wei Shijun."
It was the first time for Gao Shun, Zhang Liao and others to see Wei Cheng. At this time, they all clasped their fists in bows and shouted greetings.
When Wei Cheng heard the names of the two, he couldn't help but feel happy. It was only one Lu Bu, but he unexpectedly gained two generals.
At this time, Zhang Liao didn't have any impressive results, but Gao Shun's "trapped camp" was a truly powerful army.
Moreover, Gao Shun was one of the few people who was not recruited by Cao Cao. This has a lot to do with Gao Shun's character. History books praise him as an innocent and dignified man. Moreover, Gao Shun seemed to be loyal to Lu Bu only from beginning to end, which shows that he was loyal to Lu Bu. Loyalty.
It's a pity that Lu Bu doesn't trust him very much. Someone who is too innocent will seem out of place mixed in the quagmire.
As for Hou Cheng, Hao Meng and others, it’s okay not to mention them.
Wei Cheng doesn't like people who have no strength and also like people who act like monsters.
This is very similar to readers.
A group of people entered the meeting hall.
Wei Cheng sat at the top, with Lu Bu on one side at the bottom, and behind him were Lu Bu's eight generals.
Facing Wei Cheng's strength, Lu Bu said nothing, but Hao Meng frowned, always feeling that Wei Cheng was being too trusting. After all, this is the Lu Mansion, not your envoy's residence.
Wei Cheng naturally felt the unkindness of Hao Meng and others, but he just smiled slightly and said: "I came here specially today. Firstly, I wanted to meet Brother Lu's right-hand man, and secondly, I have a gift to give to Lu." Brother."
Lu Bu was stunned and looked up at Wei Cheng.
Wei Cheng signaled to Dian Wei who was standing beside him, and the latter left with fists in his hands.
Soon, he walked in carrying a big box.
Wei Teng said at the right time: "What's inside is a suit of armor called Tiger Soul."
When Lu Bu heard this, the smile on his face gradually faded, while Gao Shun and others looked meaningfully at Wei Cheng who was looking up.
Lu Bu cupped his fists and said, "What do you mean, your Majesty?"
Wei Cheng did not hesitate and said bluntly: "Hedong has always followed the route of elite soldiers and strong generals. Although the number of troops brought by Brother Lu is 60,000, in my opinion, they are no more than a combined enemy of the Longshan Army. It is said that they are not strong enough." It’s not too much to hit.”
"You~"
Hao Meng was so angry that he jumped up and slapped him. Fortunately, Zhang Liao on the side pushed him back.
Beside Wei Cheng, Dian Wei had already pulled out the phoenix-winged halberds from his back, staring at Hao Meng and others with unkind eyes.
When Lu Bu met Dian Wei for the first time, he felt an indescribable sense of cruelty and crisis from this man.
Wei Cheng looked at Dian Wei with a smile on his face.
Dian Wei snorted coldly at Hao Meng and then withdrew his halberds.
Wei Cheng smiled and said to Lu Bu, "There are five thousand sets of tiger soul armor. Brother Lu should understand what I mean."
Lu Bu felt very sad and angry, and at the same time very conflicted. The army was suddenly reduced from 60,000 to 5,000, which was difficult for him to accept. However, the armor developed by Wei Cheng was indeed what he had dreamed of, which put him in a dilemma. realm.
Seeing this, Wei Cheng added: "Elite soldiers are the way to go. Once you see the defensive power of the tiger soul armor, you will find that the five thousand tiger soul army is not weakened, but strengthened. Don't worry, as long as you sincerely join me, I will not What will harm you will only help you become stronger.”
"Tiger soul... army?"
There was a glimmer in the eyes of Lu Bu and others, and Zhang Liao asked excitedly: "May I ask the envoy, does this tiger soul army correspond to the Longshan army?"
Wei Cheng still had a good impression of Zhang Liao, nodded slightly, and said with a smile: "Wen Yuan can understand this. My original intention of establishing the Tiger Soul Army is to let you compete with each other. Longshan is too invincible. This is not a good thing. I You need to stimulate them, why, don’t you think you have no chance of winning against the Longshan Army?”
Gao Shun and Zhang Liao looked at each other with fighting spirit in their eyes, but Hou Cheng, Hao Meng and others were also blushing. How can a man say that he is not good enough, especially a warrior who is not to be outdone.
Even Lu Bu had a bright face, cupped his fists and said, "Rest assured, Lu is confident that he can build a strong army that is not weaker than the Longshan Army."
Lu Bu also figured out that instead of bringing 60,000 miscellaneous soldiers, it would be better to have a strong army like the Longshan Army.
In addition, Wei Cheng's attitude seems casual, but in fact he is very forceful. He will cut off his own troops as soon as possible, without giving him a chance to refute. He has even prepared the Tiger Soul Armor, which is comparable to the Dragon Mountain Armor. It is obvious that he wants to give himself A show of force.
Although he still felt resentful in his heart, Lu Bu also knew that since he felt attached to the Wei family, he should not cause more troubles. If he did not agree to come down, life would be difficult in the future, and Wei Qing would be the first to take action on him. .
When Hou Cheng and others saw that Lu Bu had agreed, they had no choice. They could only hope that their men would be more effective and not be kicked out of the queue, otherwise their status in the Hupo military force would plummet in the future.
As for Gao Shun and Zhang Liao, they are not worried about whether their men can be selected into the Tiger Army.
With the two men's strict military management, even if they are not as good as the Longshan Army, at least their people will not be worse than those of Hou Cheng, Hao Meng and others.
"Oh, I have some bad news for you."
Wei Cheng seemed to suddenly remember something, looked at Lu Bu and said, "I heard that Mr. Lu's hometown is Jiuyuan County, Wuyuan County?"
Lu Bu was stunned for a moment, curious as to why Wei Cheng suddenly mentioned his place of origin. He cupped his fists and said, "Indeed, why did you mention it?"
Wei Teng looked at him apologetically, frowned and said: "That's terrible. You may not know that the reason why Dong Zhuo was so aggressive this time was all because of the support of the Huns. Now Shuo Fang is already fighting, and There are also Huns in Wuyuan County who are ruthless, I'm afraid..."
When Lu Bu heard this, his expression changed drastically. Some of his family members were still in Wuyuan County.
Wei Cheng saw this and said loudly: "General Lu, if you want to do something, just do it and leave it to me to help you arrange the logistics. It just so happens that the Longshan Army is also fending off the enemy in Shuofang, so you can go and see it." Let’s see how the Longshan Army’s fighting methods are different.”
"I wonder how many barbarians there are in Wuyuan?" Lu Bu asked.
Wei Cheng recalled it and said, "About fifty or sixty thousand."
Lu Bu nodded slightly when he heard this, then clasped his fists and said, "In that case, Lu is indeed going to make a trip. As for the formation of the Tiger Soul Army, can it be postponed..."
Wei Teng suddenly said: "By the way, there are 200,000 Xiongnu troops in Shuofang, but only 2,000 of the Longshan army left."
"Uh, this..."
Lu Bu originally wanted to use this as an excuse to shirk the disarmament issue, but he didn't want Wei Qing to directly silence him with one sentence.
The 2,000 Longshan Army dared to hold on to the 200,000 Xiongnu army. Why couldn't I face the 5,000 or 60,000 Huns army with my 5,000 Tiger Soul Army?
Even Gao Shun and Zhang Liao looked at each other.
Two thousand versus two hundred thousand, is it really possible?
But why imagine it, suddenly feel very passionate.
Although Hou Cheng, Hao Meng and others didn't like Wei Cheng's weakening of their military power as soon as he came, they were still men after all. When they thought of that scene, they led a mere 5,000 men to defeat tens of thousands of barbarians and were defeated one after another, inexplicably. Still a little excited.
Needless to say, they are all loyal readers of the "Dragon and Tiger List of the Great Han Dynasty". Every time they see how powerful the Longshan Army is in it, they are actually not very convinced.
Hao Meng, in particular, was often arrogant, saying that the Longshan Army was so powerful because of its invulnerable equipment and hair-breaking weapons, but his personal strength was probably not as good as theirs.
Nowadays, they seem to be able to possess such magic weapons and sharp blades. Only fools don't want them.
