Tooth keeper.
And it is the kind of person who leads the personal soldiers and protects the lord's right and left. Only people who are close to him cannot take the position!
Frankly speaking, Zhang Liao, who was sitting aside, felt that this kind of favor was a bit excessive.
You know, this is the first time the two of them have met!
It's a pity that if it were another person who was treated like this by Ding Yuan, he would definitely burst into tears and wish he could die in service, but Lu Li was just a little excited and grateful.
However, using his bravery to protect Ding Yuan?
Absolutely not.
Let's not talk about whether there is any chance to make achievements as a Yamen general. The military power alone is enough to make Lu Li hesitate. You must know that although the status of the Guards is high, the loyalty is to Ding Yuan himself.
To put it bluntly, if the trend of history is irreversible and Ding Yuan still dies under the halberd drawn by Lu Fengxian in Luoyang, who should be in charge of this personal guard?
When the time comes, they will either disperse, or they will be forcibly taken over by other troops, and it will be Lu Li's turn.
In addition, in this era, there is a saying that Lu Li deeply believes in, that is, a real man cannot be without power for a day.
So when his thoughts suddenly changed, Lu Li clasped his hands again and changed the subject: "It is an honor for me to protect my lord. I don't dare to be picky. Only with the position of Yamen General, I will have something to say."
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Liao's hand holding the cup froze. If he hadn't taken the occasion into account, he would have crushed it in his excitement.
For a time, various conjectures flashed through Zhang Liao's mind one after another:
Lost your head?
Do you think the official is too small?
But after spending two days together, Zhang Liao felt that Lu Li was not a person who didn't know how to advance or retreat.
"Haha, if Meng Ming has anything to say, just say it."
Ding Yuan stroked his beard, the smile still on his face.
"Meng Ming has just joined Duke Ding and has not made any achievements. I'm afraid it would be inappropriate to directly serve as a general."
"Then what do you mean?"
Ding Yuan's movements of stroking his beard paused.
At first, he thought Lu Li was young and energetic, and felt that the official position of General Yamen did not match his own strength, so he wanted to change his name to a more prestigious one.
After all, it is completely understandable for young people with ability to act like this, but at this moment it seems...
"The last general is willing to serve as a dubo and use the heads of foreign tribes in exchange for military exploits. Only in this way can he convince the public."
Click.
The cup broke into several pieces, and Zhang Liao stood up with a roar: "Meng Ming is confused. Uncle Dub is just a centurion. What's more, there is a rule in the army. Anyone who understands the spirit of war will be promoted to general!"
"Brother, I have made up my mind to leave. I will only wait two days to kill the enemy and perform meritorious service. I will be appointed an official based on my military merits."
Lu Li spoke firmly.
At this time, Ding Yuan stood up and nodded slightly, seeming to feel something in his heart, and sighed:
"I think back then, I came from a poor and humble background. Because I could write articles, I was appointed as an official. Later, when foreign tribes came to my side, I volunteered to go outside the Great Wall. At that time, I had the same idea as Meng Ming, and I also started from Dubo."
Hearing this, Lu Li felt happy in his heart, he was afraid that this matter would be done.
As the saying goes, it is better to be a chicken head than a phoenix tail. In troubled times, leading an army alone is not better than being a bodyguard?
Ding Yuan's hearty voice came: "Since it's like
Now, your wish will come true. When you go north to help, you can be Captain Yang Wu in the front army. "
Captain Yang Wu, with a rank of six hundred stones.
His status was higher than that of Du Bo and lower than that of a general, but the most important thing was that a captain could lead a thousand troops.
Therefore, Lu Li no longer hesitated and buried his head deeply: "The last general will take your orders!"
The conversation ended like this. Zhang Liao only regarded Lu Li as a young man, and Ding Yuan also regarded him as his former self. He called two maids and took him to the back house to change clothes, saying that he would hold a banquet to welcome him.
at the same time.
Somewhere in the back house, clear and melodious voices sounded.
Ding Qinyu was sixteen years old at the time, a girl in the prime of her youth. Her hair was tied in a bun. Like the maid, she also wore a tight, long and floor-length dark dress with a curved train, but the color was brighter. , there are also some waterfowl and flowers embroidered on it.
"Is there really a handsome young general in the mansion?"
"This can still be false. We saw it with our own eyes. He was very conspicuous when walking among a group of rough guys."
"Yes, I feel that those children from aristocratic families who are well-read in poetry and books are not as good as him... How do you say that word? Oh, by the way, the jade is bright!"
Seeing the maids rushing to be the first, eager to recommend themselves to the pillow mat, Ding Qinyu stepped forward and held on to the railing of the covered bridge, looked at the honeysuckle blooming by the pool, and pretended to be reserved, "How does it compare to Mr. Cai?"
Mr. Cai is a well-known handsome man in Jiuyuan. Since his father is the county magistrate, he often comes to visit him recently. Therefore, Ding Qinyu has met him several times. In her opinion, he is already a handsome man.
Hearing this, a maid couldn't help but replied: "Although Young Master Cai is handsome, he always has an air of slickness and despicableness. In comparison, that general is the best person in the world." .”
In fact, although these maids came from bad backgrounds, because they worked in the Ding Mansion and had been around Ding Yuan's only daughter for a long time, they were used to meeting elites from various aristocratic families, and they could be said to have first-class tastes.
Because of this, Ding Qinyu became more and more curious. He recalled the beautiful men he had seen in his memory and compared them one by one. However, there were very few handsome and heroic ones.
As soon as she thought about this, she couldn't help but become irritable. She couldn't care less about being reserved and asked, "Where is he?"
"I should meet my lord in the study."
After hearing the answer, Ding Qinyu's eyes filled with joy and he thought:
Such a young general, given his father's character, would definitely treat him with special courtesy. He might arrange for him to live in his house after his arrival, or even worse, he would call him over during the banquet...
Frankly speaking, if the young general matched the description of the maid, she would have pestered her father and married him directly——
Instead of being Lu Bu's second wife, it would be better to find someone else.
When the maids saw their lady staring blankly into the distance, they knew what she was thinking, so they subconsciously calmed down their expressions and became quiet.
There are rumors that the lord seems to want to marry his only daughter to his adopted son Lu Bu, but he has been married for a long time and his first wife is Yan. Therefore, Ding Qinyu can only be a second wife. Although her status is not low, she is indeed aggrieved. How can there be a daughter from another family who can be a slave to the master?
Lu Li is not the only one who knows this principle.
At this moment, he was changing clothes in a wing of the back house. The master said that in the afternoon he would cleanse the generals, so he had to change into formal clothes, which is also Hanfu: three layers, the small clothes are worn next to the body, and then the middle clothes. Finally, put a coat on top.
It is said that this suit of clothes belonged to Ding Yuan and had not been worn yet. Since the two men were of similar stature, they were simply given to him as a show of favor.
It's a pity that the fabric is indeed good, but... it's not as light and slim as the Hufu. The most important thing is that it doesn't have pants. When walking, the crotch is very cool, which makes people resist instinctively.
