People camped outside the city of Ju County. Lu Bu took his female family members, Chen Gongdianwei and others and a group of guards to the outside of the city. They found that the city gate was closed, the suspension bridge hung high, and the walls were densely populated with soldiers holding bows, arrows and spears. .
"Lord, are you treating us as Yellow Turban thieves..." Chen Gong said.
Before Lu Bu could speak, a man with a helmet and armor on the city wall stuck his head out and shouted: "Who are you below the city? Why are you here in Ju County!"
Lu Brown asked in a loud voice: "Is there Langya Prime Minister Xiao Jian in the city?"
Xiao Jian replied: "Exactly what you are! Who are you?"
"I am Lu Bu! The new Xuzhou Mu!"
Lu Bu? Xuzhou Mu? Xiao Jian had a question mark on his face.
Langya is located on the coast of the Yellow Sea. It can be said to be a remote area for the Han Dynasty whose capital has been in Chang'an and Luoyang, so the information is not very well-informed.
Therefore, Xiao Jian has not yet received the news that Lu Bu has been appointed as Xuzhou Mu.
For a moment, he didn't know whether the news was true or not, so he suddenly asked, "Isn't Tao Qian the governor of Xuzhou? Why do you want Marquis Wen to be the governor of Xuzhou?"
Lu Bu said coldly: "Tao Qian's supervision is poor, the Yellow Turbans are raging in Xuzhou, and the people are suffering. I will be the state herdsman to destroy the Yellow Turbans. Is there any problem?"
What, do you suspect that I am falsely preaching the imperial edict? "
Xiao Jian hurriedly said: "Marquis Wen should calm down, that's not what I meant... It's just that Pengcheng, the seat of Xuzhou's governance, why did Marquis Wen come to my remote Langya country?"
"Can I come to inspect the work?" Lu Bu was already impatient.
Dian Wei shouted: "My lord! This guy is so rude and treats Shangfeng like this! Why don't we go into the city to question him?"
Taishi Ci had already bent his bow and aimed an arrow at Xiao Jian's head, while looking at Lu Bu.
As long as Lu Bu gives the order, he is ready to shoot Xiao Jian on the top of the city.
Chen Gong hurriedly calmed down the two angry men and shouted to the city: "Xiao Jian! The envoy first saved the siege of Beihai before heading south to Xuzhou.
I passed by you and had some official business to answer, but you dared to turn the king away. You are so arrogant and disrespectful. Aren't you afraid that the king will offend you? "
Xiao Jian also felt the murderous intent under the city, and hurriedly lowered his body a little, with only half of his face exposed and shouted on the female wall:
"Calm down your anger. Now that the Yellow Turbans are causing chaos, I, as the Prime Minister of Langya State, have to be cautious...
I'll ask someone to put down the hanging basket, and please put the seal in it for me to take a look at! "
Even Chen Gong was a little angry now, Xiao Jian was so shameless!
However, Lu Bu was no longer angry and stopped everyone. He turned back to Cai Wenji in the car and asked for Liu Xie's imperial edict to confer him the title of Xuzhou Mu. He wrapped it on an arrow and handed it to Tai Shici.
Taishi Ci understood, drew his long bow and shot an arrow.
The arrow grazed Xiao Jian's helmet and hit the wooden pillar behind him with a loud sound!
Xiao Jian almost peed with fear! Isn't this arrow technique too accurate?
The guard on the side quickly pulled out the arrow and handed it to Xiao Jian.
Xiao Jian read the edict and said hurriedly: "Quick! Put away all the bows and arrows, open the city gate, welcome the envoy into the city, and then let people prepare a banquet..."
After saying that, he hurriedly went down the tower and greeted him as soon as the city gate opened.
When he came to Lu Bu, Xiao Jian hurriedly raised his hands and saluted, saying: "Xiao Jian did not know that the envoy was here, and he did not receive the report of the envoy's appointment. Therefore, he neglected the envoy. Please atone for his sins!"
Lu Bu chuckled and said, "It doesn't matter! The world is not peaceful now. As the Prime Minister of a country, it's best for you to be cautious!
Not only do I not blame you, I also praise you for being cautious! "
Xiao Jian hurriedly said: "Jian is ashamed and unworthy, please let me enter the city!"
After saying that, he walked forward and personally took the reins of the red rabbit horse and led Lu Bu into the county seat of Ju County.
Chen Gong and others saw that Lu Bu was not angry at all for being so slighted. Instead, they praised Xiao Jian, secretly admiring Lu Bu's broadmindedness.
Little did they know that Lu Bu had already regarded Langya and even the entire Xuzhou as his own territory!
Not only did he want to stabilize the entire Xuzhou territory, but he also wanted to win over people's hearts, and he also pretended to be a saint like a virtuous corporal.
Lu Bu wants to follow Liu Bei's path, leaving Liu Bei with no way to go!
When he arrived in the city, Xiao Jian wisely gave up all the government offices to Lu Bu and moved his family members out.
Lu Bu was not polite and said: "If it was just me, I wouldn't have to go to such trouble. But this time Her Royal Highness the Princess is here too, so I have to aggrieve the Prime Minister for a few days!"
"Your Highness...Princess?" Xiao Jian opened his mouth.
"Ah, don't you know that the emperor has already married Princess Wannian to me? Also, you don't even know that I became Xuzhou Mu, so naturally you don't know about me marrying the princess."
Lu Bu couldn't help but feel a little annoyed. He had worked so hard to build momentum in Chang'an City, but still so many people had never heard of it!
It seems like we really need to put more effort into publicity!
Xiao Jianpei smiled and said: "Langya Yafang is in an extremely remote area and there is no information available. Please forgive me..."
Lu Bu waved his hand and said, "That's all. I may have to stay in Langya for a longer time this time, so I don't want to neglect the princess."
Xiao Jian hurriedly said: "I understand!"
After welcoming the family members' car directly into the inner house, Xiao Jian consciously said at the door:
"Your Majesty, I will send someone to prepare the banquet. There are bound to be many deficiencies in a remote country. If there is anything missing, just give me your instructions."
Lu Bu nodded and said, "You go ahead. The princess will come as soon as I've settled in!"
Xiao Jian agreed and went, then Lu Bu opened the curtain of the first car and said to Liu Xiao and Wei inside: "Princess, madam, please get out of the car!"
Liu Xiao stuck his head out, looked at the courtyard where he was with some curiosity, and then tried to get out of the car.
Lu Bu couldn't help but feel a little funny and a little distressed when he saw the little girl's cautious look. He had let such a little girl follow him for thousands of miles!
So he simply took a step forward, put his arms around Liu Xiao's waist, and carried her directly out of the car.
"Yeah!" Liu Xiao had never been so close to Lu Bu before, and he was in front of so many people. He didn't know what to do for a moment, and his small body was as nervous as a wooden stake.
However, Lu Bu put her on the ground, and then hugged Wei and Diaochan Cai Wenji from the car behind them one by one, making all four women blush.
After arriving at the house, Lu Bu cupped his hands towards the four of them and said, "Madam, it's been a hard journey along the way.
Although it's not very nice here, it's better than sleeping in a tent on the road. How about we just rest here for two more days? "
"Everyone listens to Marquis Wen." Each of the four girls was more well-behaved than the last.
Lu Bu then said: "Langya is near the sea. Ladies, do you want to go to the beach for a stroll?"
"Seaside?" The four of them looked at each other.
For them, and even most people, it is just a concept!
Ordinary people, if it were not for fleeing or being drafted into labor force, many of them would never leave the ten-mile radius of their homes, let alone women.
I heard that this place is not far from the sea. Who doesn’t want to go and see it?
Lu Bu then smiled and said: "Then let's rest for two days and go to the beach the day after tomorrow!"
