When Lu Xuan returned to the post house and saw Mi Fang and Huang Zhong, they were both excited and happy for Lu Xuan. Lu Xuan was recommended by Liu Biao to serve as the shepherd of Yangzhou, which meant that Lu Xuan's power increased greatly.
Regardless of whether he was appointed by the imperial court or recommended by Liu Biao, as long as he became a Yangzhou shepherd, his status would be different.
Lu Xuan looked at the excited two people and said with a smile: "Look at how excited you are, Yangzhou Mu is just a status, there is nothing to care about. Our territory is still just Lujiang County."
Mi Fang said excitedly: "My lord, this is different. You have become a state shepherd, and your status has reached a higher level."
Huang Zhong cupped his fists and said, "Congratulations, lord."
Lu Xuan waved his hand and said: "Okay, just be happy. Mi Fang, have you contacted Kuai Yue and Cai Mao and sent away the grain, grass and armor?"
Mi Fang said excitedly: "Reporting to my lord, I have been busy since the evening after contacting Kuai Yue and Cai Hao yesterday. After Kuai Yue and Cai Mao made arrangements, they went back. I led people to keep an eye on me and worked all night. All the supplies Already sent away."
Lu Xuan breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile, "Thank you for your hard work."
Mi Fang shook her head and said, "It's not hard!"
He followed Lu Xuan and witnessed Lu Xuan's strength, which made him full of energy.
Lu Xuan ordered: "The food has been sent away, so there is no need for us to stay any longer. Tomorrow morning, I will bid farewell to Liu Biao and leave Xiangyang. If you have things to do in Xiangyang, please make arrangements for yourself."
"I humble my duty and obey my orders."
Mi Fang and Huang Zhong answered in unison.
The two turned around and left.
Lu Xuan sat in the study, thinking about the situation in Xiangyang and even Jingzhou to avoid any omissions. While Lu Xuan was reviewing the situation carefully, a knock came from outside the door. Lu Meng opened the door and entered, reporting: "My lord, Mi Heng is here and he wants to see you."
Lu Xuan laughed when he heard it.
Mi Heng is here?
This guy was embarrassed at Liu Biao's banquet and became a laughing stock.
Now Mi Heng comes to see him, weird!
Lu Xuan thought for a while and ordered: "Leave him alone for the time being."
"Here!"
Lu Meng turned around to inform.
Lu Xuan sat in the study and read. Half an hour passed before Lu Xuan asked Lu Meng to bring someone in.
Mi Heng entered the study. He looked haggard and his hair was disheveled. When he saw Lu Xuan, he knelt on the ground with a plop, knocked his head on the ground, and said loudly: "Mi Heng, I came here to apologize to Prefect Lu."
Lu Xuan smiled softly and said, "You came to plead guilty to me. Shouldn't you bear the burden of a thorn to plead guilty? You just came naked. It's nothing to apologize for. It's not sincere."
Mi Heng was stunned for a moment.
Asking for forgiveness?
Carrying thorns is just a formality. Is it necessary to carry thorns?
Mi Heng was thin-skinned and a little embarrassed, but in order to deal with Lu Xuan, he endured it and said, "Prefect Lu needs me to bear thorns to apologize. Please allow me to go back and prepare thorns to carry on my back, and then come back to apologize."
Lu Xuan tentatively said: "Ni Heng, you and I each have our own positions. You have your own ideas, and I have mine. Why do you need to apologize?"
Mi Heng knocked his head on the ground and stuck his butt high, giving people an extremely sincere look.
"Prefect Lu, I really come to apologize. I was young, frivolous and self-righteous. I offended Prefect Lu and ended up in the current situation. This is the fate I deserve. Everything is my fault."
Mi Heng's voice was vibrating.
A sad look.
Lu Xuan said calmly: "You come to plead guilty, which means you have realized your mistake. Why are you still calling Lu Taishou now? I am now the Yangzhou Shepherd recommended by Liu Jingzhou."
Mi Heng's cheeks twitched.
Lu Xuan has too many things to do, which is too troublesome. You, a Yangzhou shepherd, are not appointed by the imperial court, you just rely on Liu Biao's recommendation. Even if Liu Biao's recommendation is within the process, what kind of state pastor are you?
Mi Heng was angry, but he didn't show it at all. He said, "Little man, please pay homage to Mr. Lu."
Lu Xuan smiled and said: "Get up."
Mi Heng suddenly became excited and felt that he had an opportunity, so he asked, "Has Mr. Lu forgive me?"
There was amusement in Lu Xuan's eyes.
Mi Heng has changed so much that he is curious about Mi Heng's intentions.
Lu Xuan tried again: "You take the initiative to ask for mercy, and I forgive you. Okay, go back."
Ni Heng was excited and said loudly: "Lu Shijun, Ni Heng is so arrogant and ignorant that everyone shouts and beats him, and he loses his face. Mi Heng has nowhere to go now. Please take him in, Lu Shijun."
Lu Xuan said in surprise: "You want to submit to me?"
Mi Heng said solemnly: "Please let me take you in."
Lu Xuan thought about it again.
Will Ni Heng suddenly wake up?
If it were him, he would be humiliated endlessly, lose face, and have all his spines broken. Such life-and-death hatred cannot be forgotten or let go. When you see your enemy, you think of the humiliation that occurred.
Does Mi Heng want revenge?
Lu Xuan made a guess and continued to think about it. If Mi Heng was the only one who wanted revenge, based on Mi Heng's ability alone, even if Mi Heng was given another ten years, there would be no chance.
"Are there any accomplices?"
Lu Xuan suddenly thought of more.
Liu Pan, Cui Jun!
These two people were also the ones who had lost face because of Lu Xuan. Perhaps these people have become entangled together and intend to deal with him.
Lu Xuan was just guessing and couldn't be sure. He looked at Mi Heng in front of him. He could reject Mi Heng and let Mi Heng leave directly. It's just that in this way, Liu Pan and Cui Jun, who are hiding in secret, cannot be found out, and they don't know each other's intentions.
To catch all the enemies in one fell swoop, the best arrangement is to use the enemy's tactics to their advantage.
While Lu Xuan was thinking, Mi Heng felt uneasy. He was worried that Lu Xuan would refuse.
Mi Heng felt anxious. Once Lu Xuan refused, he would be unable to track Lu Xuan and determine Lu Xuan's location.
In order to win Lu Xuan's trust, Mi Heng said again: "Lu Shijun, my reputation is bad. Liu Biao doesn't want me, and the scholars in Jingzhou despise me. I have no place in Jingzhou. My survival is now a problem. Please Governor Lu, give me a chance to start a new life. I will definitely change my ways and won't be as self-righteous as before."
Lu Xuan looked at Mi Heng's appearance and stood up to Mi Heng's words, becoming more and more certain that Mi Heng had other plans. He quickly made a decision and said in a deep voice: "Mi Heng, do you really want to submit to me?"
"Yes, yes."
Mi Heng didn't want to answer directly.
Lu Xuan asked: "Are you willing to do anything I ask you to do?"
"willing!"
Mi Heng answered again.
Lu Xuan said: "Forget it, for the sake of your sincerity, I will give you a chance. But the person I want must be able to endure hardship. If you can't do this, you are incompetent."
Mi Heng said: "I can endure hardship."
He is willing to endure the humiliation and bear the burden. As long as he can get revenge, no matter how hard it is, it will be worth it.
A smile appeared on Lu Xuan's lips and he ordered: "Lu Meng!"
"exist!"
Lu Meng entered the study.
Lu Xuan ordered: "Mi Heng will work for me now, and I agree. You take him to the stables and let him clean the stables. Today, the cleaning of the stables will be left to Mi Heng, and no one else can interfere."
"Here!"
Lu Meng nodded in reply, glanced at Mi Heng, waved his hand and said, "Let's go, follow me."
Mi Heng stood up, saluted Lu Xuan again, and followed Lu Meng to leave.
Mi Heng arrived at the stables and saw the horse excrement everywhere in the stables. He saw the chaotic stables and smelled the pungent smell. He felt extremely distressed and even felt extremely uncomfortable in his stomach.
Lu Meng ordered: "There are three stables here, clean them all."
"yes!"
Mi Heng agreed.
He picked up the broom and started cleaning the stables. However, he never touched the Yangchun water with his fingers. He suddenly cleaned the stables and smelled the pungent smell. He could bear it at first. But after a while, Mi Heng couldn't help it anymore and opened his mouth. With a "wow" sound, he vomited.
Lu Meng sneered. He ignored Mi Heng and returned directly to the study.
Lu Meng looked serious and cupped his hands and said: "My lord, Ni Heng went to clean the stables and has already vomited. This guy has a deep hatred against us, an undying hatred. He has no ulterior motives in submitting to the lord. My lord, there is no need for us to accept him." , just drive him away."
Lu Xuan smiled and said: "If you drive Mi Heng away, how will you deal with the people behind him? Call Zhou Tai over, and I will make some arrangements."
Lu Meng turned around to inform.
Not long after, Zhou Tai entered the study, cupped his fists and said, "Lord."
Lu Xuan handed a letter to Zhou Tai and ordered: "Assign a soldier to deliver this letter to Gan Ning as soon as possible."
"As you command!"
Zhou Tai nodded in reply.
He hurried to make arrangements.
Lu Xuan's eyes showed a look of expectation. He wants to see what people like Mi Heng can do?
