The Reincarnation of Lu Bu at the End of the Han Dynasty

Chapter 1098 The Truth
After the Waking of Insects, Lu Bu fell ill.

After lying in bed for seven full days, I just got out of bed.

Pushing open the door, the torrential rain that frightened Zhe did not know when it had stopped, and the sky cleared up after the rain.

Above ten thousand zhang high in the sky, the golden sun shone down and fell on the earth, adding some vitality to all things.

Chen Wei, who was guarding outside the house, saw Lu Bu push the door out, and the worries in his heart these days were finally put to rest.But when he saw Lu Bu's face clearly, his heart tightened again. This man, who was once invincible in the world, looked a little tired, and his body also lacked the domineering spirit he used to. It is very conspicuous.

"My lord, are you... all right?"

Chen Wei asked anxiously, it seems that Mr.'s death has indeed dealt a heavy blow to the lord.

Lu Bu was a little sad, the smile on his face, I don't know if it was a self-deprecating or wry smile, he shook his head, his voice was a little hoarse: I'm fine.

Walking out of the room, Lu Bu pushed away Chen Wei who wanted to come to help him, and found a seat by the flower bed in front of the door alone, and sat on the edge.

The sun fell on his hair and shoulders. Lu Bu took a long breath, and then let it out slowly. Unknowingly, there was a little warmth in his body.

"Father!"

Two voices sounded at the same time, and the tone was full of surprise.

Looking over, it was his daughter Ling Qi and his son Lu Xiao.

Lu Bu smiled and waved, and a pair of sons and daughters rushed to him immediately.

Sitting next to Lu Bu, Lu Xiao was quite bold, dared to ask and say anything, "Father, why do you have gray hair?"

Lu Bu was stunned for a moment, a little lost.

When he woke up, he hadn't seen himself in the mirror yet.

It was Lu Lingqi who poked her younger brother and gave him a look to tell him not to talk nonsense.Seeing that the father was only wearing underwear, but his daughter was sensible after all, he asked thoughtfully, "Daddy, are you feeling better? Do you want to add two more clothes?"

Lu Bu shook his head, his whole body ability has long been invulnerable to wind and cold.

"How did I get back?"

Lu Bu asked aloud.

Lu Xiao gestured with his hands and feet, and said: "Father, you suddenly fell in the rain that day, which frightened mother, if we weren't nearby, mother would not be able to carry you by herself. "

Recalling how his father was in a coma that day, even Lu Xiao, who has no heart and lungs, was afraid for a while.

He was afraid that his father would collapse like this.

So at that time, he ran all the way down the mountain with his father on his back, overcoming all obstacles.

Fortunately, God opened his eyes and finally woke up his father.

"Where's Qingtong? Why aren't you with you?"

Lu Bu was a little curious about this, he was very aware of his elder son's disposition, not only calm and sensible, but also the most filial.

Not seeing him at this time, Lu Bu inevitably became suspicious.

Lu Xiao took the words and said it a little casually: "He is very busy every day. Sometimes he doesn't go out to sleep, and all kinds of memorial information pile up. I see a headache, and I don't bother to intervene."

"I told him about it, but Qingtong said that these are all peace bought by his father and uncles with their lives. He wants to pass on this peace." Lu Lingqi seemed to be afraid that her father might misunderstand, and added from the side. .

"It's hard work for him."

Lu Bu murmured.

Chatting with his children until noon, Lu Bu ordered Chen Wei to call Wang Zheng.

Upon learning that Lu Bu had summoned him, the head of the school affairs office immediately put aside all his affairs and rushed to Lu's mansion to pay homage as quickly as possible.

"Subordinate Wang Zheng, pay homage to your majesty, long live your majesty!" The man who made all the officials fearful "Plop" knelt down in front of Lu Bu, bowed with all his body, and bowed with a great gift.

Looking at the humble man in front of him, Lu Bu's eyes were a little dazed.

The young top swordsman of the year.

By now, the beard is quite long.

"How many years have you been with me?"

"Back to the king, it has been 20 years."

The minister asked and answered.

20 years, like a white cloud and a dog, with a flick of a finger.

After a brief exchange of greetings, Lu Bu asked him if there was any clue to what he had explained at the beginning.

Naturally, Wang Zheng knew what this matter was about, and this was also Lu Bu's heart disease.

He lowered his voice, but he did have some eyebrows, but...

"Just what?"

Lu Bu's tone sank.

Wang Zheng's back was shivering from his awe-free aura, he bowed his body and walked up to Lu Bu carefully, whispering something.

"It's him?"

After learning the answer, Lu Bu frowned, as if a little unexpected.

…………

To the north of Weiyang Palace City, close to Xuanwu Street, there are row upon row of mansions. The mansions of this generation are not for ordinary court officials to live in. Only the emperor's cronies or prominent ministers are eligible to live here, so this place is also called 'Northern Mansion'. Que Jia No.'.

Ding Mansion is among them.

The old lady Fu Dinggong passed away a few years ago, and now the person in charge of the Ding family is Ding Gong's eldest son, Ding Hong.

Ding Hong is thoughtful and thoughtful, just like his father, he is well versed in the way of dealing with people and gets along well with everyone. Apart from being despised by others, he has not made too many enemies.Coupled with Ding Gong's help to Lu Bu in the early years and his service in these years, the Ding family's position has always been stable.

Not surprisingly, as long as he survives for a few more years, he will be able to take the position of Sangong sooner or later.

But recently, Ding Hong always felt terrified.

I can't talk about what went wrong specifically, but I just feel uneasy.

He also thought about whether that incident was exposed, but after thinking about it, it has been several years since the incident, and all the parties involved have died without evidence.Even if the School Affairs Office has all-powerful capabilities, it is impossible to find out about myself.

He still clearly remembers that it was the second year after he took over the Ding family. On a certain night, he was resting in the study, and then someone came in through the window, saying that he was ordered to send a letter, and the letter contained the second young master's return route map. , and clearly marked where the interception can be carried out.

In order to dispel Ding Hong's doubts, the messenger committed suicide by swallowing poison on the spot in the study after completing the task.

Obviously, it is also a dead man raised by another family.

In this way, the right to choose is completely in the hands of Ding Hong.

Regarding this, Ding Hong also hesitated for a while.

He is a staunch supporter of the Eldest Young Master. Although his father had repeatedly warned him not to get involved in this matter when he was still alive, Ding Hong was smart enough to think that the Eldest Young Master had obvious advantages over a fool.If he doesn't accept the nomination certificate as soon as possible, and let others get ahead, his Ding family's status may not be guaranteed.

Therefore, in private, Ding Hong often got very close to other civil servants under Lu Zhuan.

At present, there are absolutely very few people who can know this map. According to Ding Hong's estimation, only Lu Bu, Xi Ce and Lu Zhuan may know. Even Wang Zheng of the School Affairs Office may not know it.

Lu Bu is Lu Xiao's father, the so-called tiger's poison does not eat its children, this matter should not be his meaning; the drama has been closed, and all matters big and small are in the hands of the eldest son Lu Zhuan.

So Ding Hong boldly guessed that this was most likely what the eldest son meant.

why?
Because the second son quelled the rebellion between Xianbei and the Huns, he cut off Shan Yu's head with his own hands and hung it on his waist. He made great achievements in battle and won the support of the generals in the army. In addition, he held the military power in the north, which greatly threatened the eldest son. status.

Therefore, in order not to reveal his identity, the eldest son sent someone here to test his loyalty.

The more Ding Hong thought about it, the more he felt that this was the case, so he simply decided to take a gamble.

He arranged for the dead soldiers who had been raised in other places for these years, and ordered to assassinate Lu Xiao on the way.

Unfortunately, several shots failed to kill Lu Xiao.

As a result, of course it failed.

Fortunately, the dead man respected righteousness and did not reveal any words.

Ding Hong still acts like a normal person, attending work on time every day, and the school affairs office can't find out about him.

After a few years like this, Ding Hong selectively forgot about it.

After noon, an announcement sounded outside the mansion: "King Wu Zhao, come to Ding Mansion~"

Ding Hong was startled, why would Lu Bu come to his house at this time?

A few days ago, I heard that Lu Bu passed out after worshiping, and has not woken up to this day.

Why did he suddenly come to his house?

Ding Hong didn't have time to think about it, he took his family and servants and maidservants outside the mansion to welcome them.

"Ding Hong, the official Guanglu doctor, pays homage to the king."

Ding Hong bowed to salute, and the whole family behind him followed suit.

Lu Bu got out of the chariot and walked up the stone ladder in front of the mansion.

The accompanying five hundred tiger guards did not enter the mansion, but stood erect and guarded outside the mansion.

Walking in front of Ding Hong, Lu Bu stretched out his hand and patted him on the shoulder with a smile on his face: "Doctor Ding, you have done a great job at home."

Hearing this, Ding Hong's heart skipped a beat, he bowed even lower, and hurriedly replied: "Your Majesty has only read a few ancient essays in the past few days, and there is no violation of authority. Please learn from me, Your Majesty!"

"Is reading a big deal?"

Lu Bu asked meaningfully back, and his smile became more and more kind.

He helped Ding Hong, who had bent over ninety degrees, and walked into the mansion together.

Afterwards, Ding Hongben was going to receive him in the lobby, but Lu Bu said he wanted to go to the study to see if the ancient prose he was studying was worth reading.

Naturally, Ding Hong did not dare to refuse, and led the way himself, taking Lu Bu to the study where he usually writes.

Chen Wei stood guard outside, and there were only Lu Bu and Ding Hong in the house.

"Your Majesty, this is the ancient prose that I have been reading for the past few days."

Ding Hong carried the scroll from the bookshelf, put it on the desk in front of Lu Bu, and stood there obediently, trembling as if walking on thin ice.

He always felt that Lu Bu meant something.

Lu Bu casually flipped through a few volumes, then put the volumes down, and smiled: "Gu Nai was born as a martial artist, and these literati's things can't be understood, and it also gives me a headache."

"Your Majesty is unrivaled in martial arts and might shake the world. These things are actually nothing to look at."

Ding Hong took the opportunity to slap a sentence, which not only gave the steps, but also gave Lu Bu a lot of face.

"You have learned a lot from your father's skills."

Lu Bu laughed and said that Ding Gong was also like this back then.

"There's something I want to ask you."

Lu Bu paused, and looked at Ding Hong solemnly.

"Your Majesty, please tell me that as long as the subordinate officials know, they will know everything and say everything."

Ding Hong's tone was firm.

uh~
Lv Bu raised his chin and pondered for a while, as if he was thinking about how to speak, but when the words came to his lips, he asked directly, very calmly: "Is it your intention to send someone to assassinate Xiao'er?"

Ding Hong was about to speak, but when he heard the question clearly, the pupils in his eyes dilated suddenly, and then his whole body trembled suddenly. He was so frightened that he lost all souls, knelt down on the ground, shouted his innocence, kowtowed, kowtowed Shouted: "Your Majesty, even if you give the subordinate a hundred ruthlessness, the subordinate will never dare to take action against the Second Young Master!"

Looking at Ding Hong whose forehead was dark red and blood was gradually showing, Lu Bu told him to get up.

Ding Hong thought that Lu Bu was moved, but what he heard next gave him a chill.

"Gu is because of the old lady's affection, so Wang Zheng didn't come to pick him up. If you don't tell the truth, Gu will have to let people from the school affairs office entertain you." Lu Bu said calmly, with a twinkle in his eyes. There were no disturbances, and at the same time reminded Ding Hong: You know, Gu never targets without purpose.

Ding Hong opened his mouth, as if he wanted to explain something, but when he saw Lu Bu's calm eyes, the words in his mind suddenly lost confidence.

In the end, he nodded resignedly.

"This matter is all due to the momentary confusion of the subordinates, which almost caused a catastrophe. Your Majesty wants to kill or cut me to pieces. I have no complaints. It's just that no one in the family knows about this matter. Please forgive me!"

Ding Hong's face was gloomy, in addition to accepting his fate, there were more pleas in his words.

He knelt down slowly, folded his hands, kowtowed his head on the back of his hands, prostrated his whole body, and did not lift up again.

Lu Bu asked him, how did you find out about his whereabouts?

Ding Hong then told Lu Bu everything about that night.

When Lu Bu asked about the map, Ding Hong said that it had been burned after the assassination failed.

From this point of view, the clue seems to be broken here.

But Lu Bu obviously came prepared, he took out a piece of cloth from his sleeve robe, with many words written on it, he called Ding Hong over, and asked if it matched the words on it.

Ding Hong examined it carefully, and thought about it again in his mind. In contrast, he finally nodded with certainty.

"It seems that you are just a pawn in the hands of others."

Lu Bu put away the cloth, hiding the anger in his eyes very well.

Afterwards, he glanced at Ding Hong and asked, "Tell me, what are your plans?"

Ding Hong was still kneeling, even if Lu Bu called him, he didn't dare to get up.

Hearing Lu Bu's question about his plan, Ding Hong knew he was going to die, and sighed: "After the king leaves, there is a high probability that the next official will fall into the water tonight, and he will never cause any trouble to the king. I only hope that the king will be kind and let him go." The youngest of the Ding family."

Seeing that Ding Hong really had a will to die, Lu Bu smiled at this, stood up and came to Ding Hong, patted Ding Hong's hand lightly, and spoke a lot more gently: "When the old master was alive, he helped the orphan both openly and secretly. Many, Gu still reads the old lady's love. Don't worry about dying, so that when you meet tomorrow, you will write a memorial, and you will return to your hometown. Gu will guarantee you to return to your hometown and live a safe life."

Ding Hong raised his head, he couldn't believe it, but his expression was more grateful.

After comforting Ding Hong, Lu Bu stepped out from the threshold of the study, leaving only a tall figure behind.

Ding Hong bowed his head again, kowtowed heavily, and shouted loudly as if saying goodbye.

Your Majesty take care!

…………

After leaving Ding's mansion, Lu Bu sat on Wang Huan and explained to Chen Wei.

Go, call Yang Xiu.

Not long after, Yang Xiu followed Chen Wei to Lu Mansion.

Lu Bu asked him, Dezu, do you know why Gu called you?

After learning that Lu Bu had been to the Ding Mansion, Yang Xiu was relieved and nodded to show that he knew.

Lu Bu asked again, why didn't he escape?
Yang Xiu said: "You can escape, but it's not necessary. If I escape, the king will definitely suspect that the eldest son has tipped off the news, and there will be a gap between father and son."

That's the beauty of talking to smart people, plain and simple.

One dares to ask, one dares to ask.

"Aside from you, who else knows about this matter? Zhuan'er...does he know?"

"This assassination was all planned and driven by me. Outsiders have no way of knowing. The map was copied by me while you were away. It's a pity that I missed a move and still failed."

When talking about this matter, instead of feeling ashamed, Yang Xiu felt a little pity.

If the assassination can be done, what's the matter with death!
Lu Bu knew that Yang Xiu was not afraid of death, so he asked him: "Dezu, among the younger generation, you, Zhong Da, and Bo Ji are the most intelligent people. You should know the consequences of doing so."

"Of course I know, it's just that the eldest son is a hundred times stronger than that barbarian, but the king has not established a son for a long time! Now, behind the second son, a group of ghosts and snakes with evil intentions have gathered. If I don't take action, the eldest son will help them sooner or later." I just want to help the eldest son remove the obstacles on the road ahead of time."

Once power is contaminated, brothers will not kiss each other.

Yang Xiu has seen this kind of thing a lot.

"I know that you and Zhuan'er have a heart-to-heart relationship, but I can't forgive you for this matter."

Lu Bu breathed out a bit or two in his position, and after calming down, he said again: "But because of your grandfather's kindness to Gu You in the past, Gu will not kill you today. However, Gu will banish you to the Western Regions, and you will not be allowed to set foot in the eternal life." One step into the territory of the Han family!"

Yang Xiu didn't say a word about it, and bowed his hands to Lu Bu.

After that, they laughed all the way out of the mansion.

The next day, Ding Hong resigned as expected, and Yang Xiu also broke with the Yang family because of his rude words, and was exiled to the Western Regions.

Not long afterward, news spread to Chang'an that it was said that Ding Hong's family died at the hands of a group of thieves on their way home.

However, the killer sent by the School Affairs Office to pursue Yang Xiu returned without success.

It was done by an old man.

To be precise, it was the sword sage Wang Yue.
