Three Kingdoms: I don’t want to fall in love in troubled times

Chapter 67 The power of Marquis Lu
While everyone was feasting and singing, and the atmosphere was in full swing, the voice of an uninvited guest sounded at the door:

"Our soldiers are still wearing their armor, but you can bear to enjoy yourself here?"

A man walked in with long strides as if no one else was around. He was wearing an armor lining and a long sword decorated with pearls and jade hung on his waist. It was obvious that he had just taken off his armor and had not had time to change into casual clothes.

This man has a strong and resolute face, broad and straight features, and is tall and burly, but his body is not very broad. Instead, he has a back and a waist, and his strong chest muscles are suddenly gathered around his waist. He looks like a middleweight bodybuilding champion. Wrong set.

Every move, no matter what he is doing, is as if he has doubled the speed, and his movement speed is several beats faster than others.

There are many people who know him. Shi Heyong, the acquaintance of the Prime Minister's Office, said: "Isn't this Fengxian? What orders does Dong Xiangguo have here?"

It stands to reason that Lu Bu, who had been granted the title of Marquis of Tingting, was much higher than him. After all, he was a serious Han Marquis wearing a gold seal and purple ribbon.

Liu Bang, the founder of the Han Dynasty, made the oath of the white horse true: no one can be crowned a king without Liu, and one cannot be crowned a marquis without merit. Therefore, the marquis in the Han Dynasty is full of gold, and is much nobler than the ordinary two thousand stones.

However, Lu Bu was in a special situation. Most of his marquisship was Dong Zhuo's reward for his betrayal of Ding Yuan. This betrayal was very crucial and directly allowed Dong Zhuo at that time to annex the only border army besides himself around Luoyang, completely removing the obstacles to his dictatorship.

To put it bluntly, Lu Bu's "merit" was also the traitor's merit, so He Yong, as the chief minister of the Prime Minister's Office, did not speak with much respect for him.

Lu Bu looked around with a relaxed expression, but the words he said were terrifying to death:
"I am here to investigate the spies in the DPRK on the orders of the Prime Minister."

Hearing this, Zheng Tai and others were shocked as they held the wine glasses.

Lu Bu has been in a bad mood recently. Ever since he killed Ding Yuan and raised his entire army to surrender, Dong Zhuo has not given him any more benefits except the general Zhong Lang and the Marquis Du Ting.

This is very unethical.

Especially after the novelty of becoming a marquis and becoming a general wore off, whenever he thought of his current reputation, he felt that he was really tired of seeing the golden seal of Marquis Duting.

have to add money.

But when Lu Bu was eagerly waiting for his chance to be promoted and make a fortune again, Dong Xiangguo actually ignored his Bingzhou Army throughout the whole process, and all subsequent missions were Xu Rong's.

It can be said that in the previous battle, Lu Bu didn't even drink the soup.

When the war in the east was relatively calm, Dong Zhuo stayed in Bigui Garden in Luoyang and ordered Lu Bu to excavate the imperial mausoleum and the tombs below the public ministers, seize the treasures and transport them to Chang'an.

The dignified Lu Fengxian, not only couldn't go to the battlefield, but also had to be forced to do this kind of thing like touching the golden mounds, he was naturally very upset.

So as soon as he arrived in Chang'an, he came here to have fun.

As for catching spies, of course I just talked about it casually.

Anyway, the sky is high and Dong Zhuoyuan is far away, why don't you act wild?
Lu Bu walked carelessly into the center of the table, next to the main seat where Zheng Tai was sitting. He picked up Zheng Tai's cup and drank from it, instead of sitting on his knees like everyone else.

He was half lying on the mat, supporting his head with one hand, and his eyes were scanning the whole place vaguely.

According to the etiquette of the Han Dynasty, during a banquet, if the person toasting a toast is of low status, he or she should avoid the table and bow to the person of high status, that is, leave the seat where you are sitting and kneel on the ground.

Originally, when everyone toasted to Zheng Tai, there was not much difference in status between the two parties, so there was no need for such a grand ceremony. However, Lu Bu took the host position. No matter how much people looked down on him, he was a genuine person. The Marquis of the Han Dynasty, compared with these white bodies, there is a difference in status.

Lu Bu's change of attitude was because he wanted to see everyone make a fool of himself.

The atmosphere at the table was stagnant.

As usual, there are still a few hours left in the banquet, but some people can't stand the atmosphere and want to leave early. This person had just toasted Zheng Tai, but Xu Jiashu was looking at Xun You intently and didn't pay attention to his name.

He walked towards the main seat and was about to say goodbye to Zheng Tai, but he was stopped by Lu Bu who was lying on the side. "I just said that I was ordered to come here to investigate the spies. If I don't nod, no one is allowed to leave. You go back and treat me well." Stay!"

The man had no choice but to admit that he was unlucky and turned around to return to his seat.Xu Jiashu secretly thought: He turned 180 degrees in an instant, he is a good candidate for playing FPS.
"Wait a minute," Lu Bu thought it was not enough and asked again: "You are so naked, why don't you propose a toast to me?"

The man had no choice but to endure the humiliation and lay down on the ground and toasted Lu Bu, saying, "I wish you long life."

With such a fuss, the atmosphere of the banquet was more like visiting a grave.

Huan Jie whispered in a low voice: "It is said that Lu Bu came back to settle the family's children. I don't know where Zheng Yilang offended him. He actually dared to come alone and provoke everyone present."

Xu Jiashu pondered for a moment and said, "Is it possible that he is just here to humiliate people for fun?"

"No way," Huan Jie said, "This person has also made little military exploits, so where does he have the confidence?"

How fresh, isn't it the greatest confidence that someone's name is Lu Bu?
Seeing that their master was so humiliated, the rangers under Zheng Tai couldn't help it. Someone immediately stepped forward and wanted to do a blood-splattered five-step move to make this arrogant and half-lying guy look good.

The knight-errant had just taken a step when Lu Bu, who was lying on the table, had a cold look in his eyes. He raised his hand flat on the ground and raised his leg to kick him over.

Everyone could clearly see this kick. It was obviously coming from behind, but it came strangely first, as if he was waiting for his opponent's head to hit him. The ranger didn't even draw his sword, but he was kicked hard in the head and face, and there was a sound in the neck. There was a crisp sound of bone cracking, and he fell straight down, seeing that he could not survive.

When Zheng Tai was a young wanderer in Heluo, he had seen a lot of life and death, but he had never seen such a monster. It could kill people with just one kick. Lying next to Lu Bu felt like a monster that chooses and devours people. Like a tiger, it makes people shudder.

He endured his fear and gave Lu Bu another glass of wine and said, "Why do you need to be angry, Your Majesty? The country is in chaos recently and there is famine in Guanzhong. I am just trying my best to help."

Except for Zheng Tai himself, everyone present noticed that his voice was shaking and almost out of tune.

Seeing Lu Bu finish the drink, he continued to explain: "The season is not peaceful. We are asking heroes like Dong Xiangguo to clarify the world. How can anyone oppose him without knowing the general situation?"

I almost shouted on the spot, "There is no sun in the sky, there is only one sun in my heart, Prime Minister"
Hearing this, Lu Bu seemed to be smiling but not smiling, as if he had nothing to do with me.

Zheng Tai immediately understood. This person came to extort money on a temporary basis. He could not delay it any longer and had to be sent away quickly.

He gritted his teeth and whispered the number in Lu Bu's ear. Lu Bu then knelt down and sat up according to the rules, filling the wine glasses for himself and Zheng Tai.

"Bu En is a guest, and I am honored to receive such hospitality from Gongye. I would like to toast Gongye!"

After exchanging a drink with Zheng Tai, Lu Bu stood up with satisfaction and said to everyone present: "Since the official business guarantees you, it's getting late, and I have important matters, so I'll leave first. I owe you Forget it today, since everyone is in Chang'an, remember to make up for it next time!"

The man got on his horse and left just like when he came in, as if no one else was around.

It wasn't until the sound of Lu Bu's horse's hooves completely disappeared that everyone present began to make a little noise.

Xu Jiashu was even more shocked and speechless - is the tiger in the world so powerful?
The feast ended hastily as the body of the unfortunate ranger was dragged away.

"Lü Bu! I will kill him!" Zheng Tai was furious with incompetence, and Zhong Ji on the side also shared the same hatred, "This man can act so arrogantly and without restraint, he really doesn't know the heights of heaven and earth!"

He Yong then asked Xun You softly: "Gongda, you said before that this person is available, is it true?"

Xun You became more confident: "Compared with Dong Zhuo, who acts more unscrupulously?"

He Yong thought for a moment and replied: "What's the difference between this man and Thief Dong? It's just different power and position. If he were in Thief Dong's position, who knows what he could do?"

"That's what it means." Xun You was very patient with his loyal fans. "The two tigers are inseparable every day. Even if one of them is stronger, won't the other one be ambitious? Lu Bu is accompanying Dong Thief. , how can the name of a righteous father and son control this power that is right in front of us?"

"Then what makes him unable to resist taking action?" He Yong asked.

"Wait," Xun You said, "or let him understand that only one of Dong Zhuo and him can live!"
