I, Liu Bian, Sanxing Han Dynasty

Chapter 392 Xu Chu and Dian Wei

"Your son is young and full of vigor. Seeing that I am a woman with no status and no position in your relationship, he is wary and understandable. Please don't blame me. Don't alienate the father-son relationship and destroy the harmony of the family for me."

Mrs. Lu pretended to cry: "If this is true, I really have no face to face you!"

When Liu Yan heard Lu's soft voice, in just a moment, his heart seemed to melt.

In fact, he had considered severing his relationship with Lu on the way here. After all, Liu Yan was also a descendant of Liu Yu, the Prince of Lu Gong, the son of Emperor Xiaojing. He was born in a prominent Jiangxia family and had seen all kinds of beauties. But Lu was different in Liu Yan's heart - she was compatible with him in the study of Daoist scriptures, and she was also very proficient in the ghost and god arts that he longed for, and cured his insomnia.

Looking at Lu's beautiful face and the "Taoist" temperament in her words and deeds, Liu Yan couldn't bring himself to say goodbye.

After a long while, Liu Yan leaned back on the couch, sighed, and said, "Since the news of the earthquake in Jingzhao came, there has been a turmoil inside and outside the government. What do you think of this earthquake? Is it really a warning from heaven?"

Mrs. Lu was making tea for Liu Yan. Upon hearing this, she immediately stopped what she was doing and bowed, saying, "This is something that only a real man like you would consider. I am just a little woman, how dare I speak nonsense?"

"I dare not, not that I don't..." Liu Yan picked up the words and asked, "You don't have to be so secretive in front of me. Just tell me what you think."

"I think that with a wise ruler and capable ministers ruling the country, this earthquake is just a minor one and nothing to worry about."

Liu Yan laughed and said, "You are so sensible, but my son is stubborn and unrepentant!"

He shook his head. "Since ancient times, young people have been eager to make progress, while old people like me have been conservative. But now in my family, it's the other way around. It's really ridiculous."

"In the past, Taigong Wang was in his seventies before he met a wise ruler and achieved great things. Why do you have to boast about your old age? In my opinion, you are just like Taigong Wang." Lu advised.

When it comes to this topic, Liu Yan is no longer sleepy. He also feels that the only regret he has had in his life is that he has not been able to accomplish something that would go down in history.

"I appreciate your good words!" Liu Yan said with a smile.

After Lu expressed his views on the Jingzhao earthquake, he put aside his concerns about Lu that had been aroused by Liu Fan.

His son is clearly worrying for no reason!
……

Outside the Luoyang Palace, Dian Wei and Xu Chu both held a bunch of things in their arms and had smiles on their faces.

They were so happy that in their arms were their official uniforms, seals, passes for entering and leaving the palace, and so on.

Xu Chu was born into a powerful family in Qiao County and was more knowledgeable than Dian Wei. Looking at Dian Wei who was traveling with him, he knew that this man would be his colleague in the future.

Seeing that Dian Wei was as capable as himself, although they had some unsavory disagreements due to their competitive spirit earlier, in his mind it was just a small matter and he now wanted to make friends with him.

"You and I are acquainted with each other. My name is Xu Chu, Xu Zhongkang. May I know you?"

Upon hearing this, Dian Wei said in a muffled voice: "My name is Dian Wei, and I have no given name."

“Then I will call you Wu Zi…” After saying this, Xu Chu realized that this Wu Zi actually means no word.

Considering Dian Wei's age, there is only one possibility that Dian Wei has no literacy, that is, he was born in a poor family and did not even have the opportunity to read and learn to read.

Seeing Xu Chu was speechless, Dian Wei didn't care. With his bravery, as long as he was willing to lower his head, it would not be difficult for him to find a suitable word.

But he didn't want to.

"Why? No words are not okay?" Dian Wei asked. Upon hearing this, Xu Chu immediately denied it and said, "No words are okay, why not!... You see, I am also a rough man, and I only got this calligraphy after offering a huge gift."

Dian Wei complained: "You guys always talk in a roundabout way and never tell the truth. I thought you were a straightforward person, but I didn't expect you to be so straightforward! Tell me, what did you want to say just now?"

Xu Chu immediately defended himself: "It's not that there was a little conflict before, so... we are both straightforward people, let's not talk about the past, and talk about now!"

Dian Wei stopped, looked at Xu Chu and nodded.

Xu Chu stood still holding the clothes in his arms and said, "Although we have been appreciated and become Yulin Lang, up to now, we only know that Zhang Sima, and we don't even know who is behind Zhang Sima. I know your abilities, and you should also know mine. After taking office tomorrow, the road ahead is unknown, so we should work together and share what we have."

"it is good!"

Lord Xu did not expect that although Dian Wei's words were rude and his temper seemed stubborn, he agreed so readily.

He didn't think that someone like Dian Wei would be a cunning villain, so he smiled and replied, "It's a deal!"

Once the conversation started, the two people who had been at loggerheads actually felt that they had met too late.

Upon learning that Dian Wei was staying in an abandoned house outside the city, Xu Chu immediately invited Dian Wei to live with him. Considering that he would officially start work tomorrow, Dian Wei did not pretend and accepted the offer directly.

Such a decisive performance made Xu Chu feel that Dian Wei was worthy of making friends. He was very much like those knights who had followed him to fight against the Yellow Turban bandits in the past.

The next morning, the two men dressed in official uniforms and registered to enter the palace with iron seals and documents. They were soon led to a place by eunuchs.

To their surprise, the person who assigned them to the job was a young man who didn't even have a beard.

Little did he know that the young man was also surprised. Sun Ce didn't know why the emperor suddenly stuffed two strong men into his team, and it seemed that neither of them had ever served in the army.

There is nothing military about his speech and behavior.

However, since it is the emperor's order, Sun Ce will not slack off. And to be valued by the emperor, the two people in front of him must have outstanding qualities.

In the subsequent questioning, Sun Ce vaguely understood the reason based on the two people's body shapes.

He also said: "You two must know that the Yulin Lang you are in now is different from the past. Not only do you have the responsibility of guarding His Majesty, you also need to learn military tactics and the ways of marching and fighting."

"Since you have been sent here by His Majesty, you should live up to His Majesty's trust. You must know that blood splattering five steps is just a common man's courage. You must not rely on your bravery and slack off!"

After Sun Ce finished speaking, he felt that what he said made sense, but he did not hear the response he had imagined.

He sighed in his heart. After all, they were all people who had never been in the army before. They still had to be taught step by step...

When he turned around, he saw Dian Wei and Xu Chu both looking at him in shock.

This reaction was beyond Sun Ce's expectations, and it even made him question himself, and he reviewed what he had said in his mind.

He didn't say anything wrong!
