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

Chapter 68 Pilgrimage
The Chongde Hall is huge, supported by eight thick black lacquered beams in the front and back four directions, enough to hold thousands of people.

Lu Bu raised his leg and stepped across the threshold, and under the gaze of hundreds of pairs of eyes, he took two steps forward, bowed his body at ninety degrees, bowed and saluted, and said, "Lü Bu, my humble minister, see Your Majesty."

It was so loud that everyone in the hall could hear it clearly.

From the moment Lu Bu entered the palace, His Majesty, who was kneeling on the throne, locked his eyes on Lu Bu. He always preferred tall people, because such people would bring him an extra sense of security.

Lü Bu was nine feet tall, more than a tiny bit taller than ordinary people. When Liu Hong saw it, he liked it a little, so he raised his hand to Lv Bu and said, "Ai Qing is flat."

Lu Bu straightened up, lowered his head and just glanced at the current man, a series of precise data flashed through his mind in an instant: 120 steps apart, zero kill rate with bare hands, 30.00% shooting rate, success in armor and holding a halberd The rate is 70.00%.

Naturally, Lu Bu would not do such a rebellious and immoral thing as assassinating the emperor. He still knew the rites of heaven and earth, relatives, teachers, and monarchs and ministers.It's just that this has become a habit and instinct of his. The first thing he sees is a conditioned reflex to measure his threat value and kill rate.

What's more, if you assassinate the emperor in front of so many ministers, no matter whether you succeed or not, Lu Bu's end will be very ugly if there is no accident.

Lowering his head and glancing left and right at the positions of the courtiers, Lu Bu was about to step towards the ranks of the military officers. The position was naturally the last place.

"Aiqing, raise your head and take ten steps forward. I have something to ask you." Liu Hong's voice was not loud, but everyone present listened very carefully, for fear of missing a word.

Lu Bu walked ten steps forward silently in his heart, then stopped, raised his head and looked directly at the imperial steps in front of him.

Liu Hong took a closer look and saw that Lu Bu was born handsome, with well-proportioned facial features, and the slanted eyebrows above his eyes were even more heroic, and he was about the same age as him, so he couldn't help but feel a little bit happier.

Liu Hong asked, "Do you know why I summoned you to Luoyang?"

"I'm stupid, I don't know." Lu Bu answered truthfully without thinking too much.

After Liu Hong pondered for a while, he finally said: "Since you don't know, then tell all about what you saw and heard when you rescued Yanmen Pass, and you must not hide anything."

"That day, I led thirteen hundred soldiers from Yunzhong County to reinforce Yanmen Pass..."

From Zhang Zhong defending Yanmen Pass, to the fierce battle with the Xianbei people in the Wolf Cavalry Camp, from guarding the isolated city at night, to setting up an empty city to scare back the roots.

Lu Bu spoke very plainly, as if he was telling a story that had nothing to do with him.

However, one can imagine how thrilling it is.

The civil and military courtiers on both sides unconsciously cast their eyes on Lu Bu. This young man with the most low-level "pink rice" stamp pattern embroidered on his court uniform has experienced so many life-and-death struggles and life hanging by a thread.

"Is it true that Zhang Yi didn't send troops to rescue and waited until the Xianbei people retreated to reach Yanmen Pass?" Liu Hong's pale face added a bit of coldness, and his tone was already a little angry. If Zhang Zhong didn't defend, let the Xianbei people enter the pass Going south, the consequences are simply unimaginable.

"I dare not deceive you." Lu Bu clasped his fists in his voice firmly. He had no affection for Zhang Yi in his heart. If Zhang Yi had been able to reinforce Yanmen Pass as soon as possible, there would not have been so many Bingzhou sons whose souls would return to Qingshan and be buried outside the pass.

"Your Majesty, this General Lu's description is a bit mysterious. The old slave is shallow, and he has lived a long life and has never seen a person who can ride a thousand horses." Standing beside Liu Xie, Zhang Rang spoke, his voice Slightly hoarse.Zhang Rang, who was familiar with Liu Hong's temperament, knew that Liu Hong would definitely throw a tantrum if this continued. It doesn't matter much, it's not good to involve yourself.

Liu Hong always listened to Zhang Rang's opinions very much, and signaled Zhang Rang to continue.

Having achieved the purpose of changing the subject, Zhang Rang said again: "Your Majesty, there are not a few generals who practice martial arts in court, why don't you invite one or two to compete with Lu Bu to prove whether they are really as powerful as he said. "

"Well, father, what you said makes sense, sure."

Liu Hong nodded approvingly, looked at the military officers on the left, and asked with a smile, "My dear friends, who among you would like to compete with Lu Bu?"

"This old dog, you came up with some bad ideas!" He Jin, who stood at the head of the generals, cursed in a low voice. He was originally a butcher, and in terms of martial arts alone, he was naturally at the bottom of the group of military officers.

Not only He Jin, but also a group of military officers behind him, none of them walked out of the ranks.

Wouldn't it make people laugh when the news spread about the competition between a dignified high-ranking general and a humble school lieutenant? They have lived in the capital for a long time, indulged in pleasure, and have long since left martial arts aside.What's more, what Lu Bu just said doesn't look like a fabrication, and he looks like a stunned young man who doesn't know much about the world. If there is a real fight, he can chase the king of Xianbei by himself. And the ability to escape, if they beat them black and blue, then they will really lose face and become the laughing stock of everyone.

After waiting for a long time, no one came out. These generals who usually show off their might at this time gave up. Liu Hong's face was a little uneasy, and his voice suddenly rose an octave, "Huh? No one dares to stand up !"

"Your Majesty, most of the generals in the court are good at commanding and deploying troops. Fighting is not their strong point. I think that the general servant Jian Shuo can fight Lu Bu." A man with a short beard stood out among the civil servants and bowed to Liu Macro made a suggestion.

When the military officer heard this, it would be best if he could divert the disaster to the east, as long as he didn't burn himself, they all echoed, "Master Chen is right, Jian Changshi is excellent in martial arts, and he will definitely be able to come with Lu Bu." A wonderful martial arts contest."

Hearing this, Zhang Rang screamed inwardly. It can be said that he lifted a rock and shot himself in the foot.

How could Zhang Rang not know what martial arts is outstanding, and the tricks in it, but before he could stop him, he heard Liu Hong clap his hands, and laughed loudly: "Chen Aiqing, your suggestion is good, I actually put it Jian Shuo forgot."

"Come on, go and pass on to my general, Jian Shuo!" Liu Hong casually called a small yellow gate, and ordered him to do so.

Apart from Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong among the ten servants, Liu Hong's favorite is Jian Shuo. All the rulers were defeated by him one by one.

Not long after, Xiao Huangmen led Jian Shuo to the Chongde Hall.

Jian Shuo, who was nearly nine feet tall, walked up to Lu Bu, subconsciously glanced at the young man who was slightly taller than himself, and then bowed to the emperor Liu Hong.

On the way, Jian Shuo asked Xiao Huangmen why His Majesty suddenly summoned him. After learning that it was a martial arts competition, Jian Shuo felt relieved. In all these years in the palace, when did he lose once?
Liu Hong raised his hand to flatten Jian Shuo, and introduced him by the way: "Jian Shuo, the name of the man next to you is Lu Bu, and he once broke through the 6000-strong Xianbei cavalry by himself. Let's see who is more skilled between you two."

Jian Shuo almost knelt down when he heard this. He gave Zhang Rang a look. He didn't understand why this happened suddenly. This Lu Bu was obviously not one of his own. What to do.

Listening to Lv Bu's brilliant achievements, Jian Shuo broke into a cold sweat, and coughed loudly in court, "Your Majesty, I'm afraid I've lost my reputation due to the cold weather recently."

"Fengchi? Why haven't I heard you mention it before? After this match, I'll let the imperial doctor show you right away. It's fine. You just need to show seven or eight percent of your strength. I believe you." Liu Hong said extremely He spoke with concern, and at the same time, he also had blind confidence in Jian Shuo.

After finishing speaking, Liu Hong vaccinated against Lu Bu in the palace again: "Jian Shuo is famous in my palace for being able to fight, and it can be said that he is almost invincible. There is no opponent in the entire Luoyang city. , you just do your best.”

With Liu Hong's words, Lu Bu felt relieved.

Jian Shuo, who was at the side, cried out sadly in his heart: Your Majesty, you are completely driving me to death! ! !

"Your Majesty, the sky outside is still unknown, why don't you wait until dawn to compare?"

However, Jian Shuo has troubles and can't say it, and he has to pretend to look down on Lu Bu, otherwise it will be a serious crime of deceiving the emperor. Now he can only find a way to delay the time as much as possible, so that Zhang Rang can come up with a solution.

Liu Hong wanted to watch this martial arts competition wholeheartedly, not to mention waiting until dawn, he didn't want to wait for a moment, waved his big hand, and said with pride: "Don't worry, Aiqing, I will immediately send two hundred people to the martial arts competition field." Lanterns, guaranteed to be as bright as day!"
