"Did you mean it yourself, or Dong Zhonglang?" Before Li Jue could finish speaking, Lu Bu interrupted, his voice slightly cold.

"This..." Li Jue didn't know how to answer the words for a while, and was eager to think of a countermeasure in his mind.

Seeing Li Jue's anxious look, Lu Bu already knew the answer. He patted Li Jue on the shoulder, indicating that he should not be nervous. Retired, took his wife and daughter to live in the countryside, and lived a leisurely and ordinary life."

Li Jue then proposed a series of generous conditions, but Lu Bu declined them all with a smile.

In the end, there was nothing to do, Li Jue sighed, got up and said goodbye.

"Did he really say that?"

In the middle of the night in Chang'an City, the common people fell asleep soundly, only a few houses were still lit with dim candlelight.

In Dong's mansion, Li Ru hadn't gone to bed yet, and was still working on important matters before the case.

It's not easy to be the chief counselor. Dong Zhuo's subordinates, big and small, are almost all in charge of planning by himself.

Thanks to his great ability, he planned everything in an orderly manner. He was a little tired, but he liked this kind of attitude and attitude that Dong Zhuo asked him for everything.

The person standing in front of him was none other than Li Jue who had returned from Lu Bu.

The matter wasn't finished well, he didn't dare to touch Dong Zhuo's beard, so he came to report to Li Ru, hoping that he could say something nice in front of Dong Zhuo.

Li Ru didn't look up, and concentrated on dealing with the affairs in hand. It seemed that he didn't pay much attention to General Li, and even his answer seemed extremely perfunctory: "Don't worry, you are also the lord's favorite general, so you will not be punished easily. If I can help you speak up, I will definitely help you.”

Li Jue hurriedly thanked him, saying that he would be rewarded generously in the future.

Li Ru didn't reply to this, so the embarrassed Li Jue had no choice but to say goodbye and exit the house.

When the work in hand was finished, Li Ru put down the pen and said to himself: "Could it be that I was overthinking, maybe he didn't have the idea of ​​becoming the leader of Qianghu at all?"

Touching his mustache, Li Ru got up and stretched himself, blew out the candle on the table, a gleam of light flashed in the dark night, and the strange smile on the corner of his mouth was extremely sinister.

Wife and daughter?

Ha ha.

…………

In the morning of the next day, Lu Bu took Chen Wei and Wei Musheng along the wide Chang'an Avenue in the city.

Early in the morning, Huangfusong sent someone to invite Lu Bu to the mansion to discuss matters. It was strange to say that the rebels who were arrogant yesterday had disappeared early this morning, and they did not know where they were going.

The generals in the city were all confused, thinking that this was a trick of the rebels to lure the enemy, so they decided to hold back for the time being and send more scouts out of the city to check for information.

Anyway, being idle is idle, Lu Bu, who has no military affairs to deal with, decided to go for a stroll in the city.

At any rate, Chang'an was once the former capital of the Han Dynasty, and its prosperity and prosperity can be imagined.

Wandering around the streets, wearing a general's armor must be eye-catching, and it will cause a lot of inconvenience.Lu Bu went back and changed into his casual clothes. Looking at those wolf-riding men who were eager for Baba, he finally softened his heart and asked them to change into regular clothes.

It's rare to have free time, so let's relax together.

The men in the Wolf Riding Camp were overjoyed when they heard this, and their movements were as agile as the apes in the mountains. They took off their armor and put on their daily attire.

After entering the city, it was like a fish leaping into the sea. In the blink of an eye, Lu Bu was only left with Chen Wei and Wei Musheng.

He shook his head helplessly: These guys.

Needless to say, the wolf cavalry battalion's fighting strength is strong, but few of these reckless men have done legitimate business, and they are not good people at all.From the top to stealing sheep, stealing chickens and dogs, down to eating, drinking, whoring, gambling, beheading and setting fire.In terms of doing bad things, it can be said that they are very talented, basically there is nothing they can't do.

Now that I have some spare money hidden in my hand, my hands are naturally itchy, and I want to squander it chicly.

Lu Bu treated these life and death brothers very well. He once said that as long as he didn't do anything that angered the sky and people complained, he would take care of them if they got into trouble.And they will be paid a lot of money on time every month, which is something that is not available in other military camps.

As for the soldiers in the other battalion, they didn't have much idea.

In this world, it is good to be able to eat enough, how can one expect the imperial court to pay money.Even if the imperial court is willing to issue it, it will not be their turn to exploit layers upon layers.

Chang'an City is very large, majestic and majestic. Compared with the prosperity of Luoyang, the eastern capital, it is a little more solemn and solemn.

The streets in Zongheng City are more than ten feet wide, and there are official residences and private houses on both sides. The widest main road is more than forty feet wide.Standing in the center of the main road facing the city, with open arms, it is as if embracing the entire Chang'an City.

Ban Gu, a historian of the Eastern Han Dynasty, once wrote "Ode to Two Capitals" to praise the beauty and prosperity of Chang'an. However, although Chang'an City is large, the royal garden occupies a full two-thirds of the entire city's area.The imperial power is granted by heaven, sacred and inviolable, even if the emperor is not here, it is not a place where ordinary people can set foot at will.

Therefore, in the huge city of Chang'an, the only place Lu Bu could visit was the market in the northwest corner.

"Nine markets open, goods are separated, people are not cared about, cars are not allowed to turn around, the city is overflowing, and hundreds of shops are flowing by, the red dust is mixed, and the smoke and clouds are connected..."

This is Ban Gu's description of the bustling scene in Chang'an Market in "Fu of Two Capitals".

The Northwest Market is divided into East Market and West Market, separated by a branch road leading directly to Hengmen in the middle. The East Market is to the east, and the West Market is to the west. It is simple and easy to remember.

Lu Bu stood on the road, looked to the left and right, and saw that it was dark, and people's heads were shaking.Although it was not as exaggerated as Ban Gu said, the flow of people was indeed large enough. In addition, today's big fair only happened once every half a month, so the number of people was at least ten times higher than usual.

Lu Bu stepped into the East Market first, because the number of people here was obviously much smaller than that in the West Market.It wasn't until Lu Bu, who was still empty-handed after wandering around the East Market for a while, that he understood the reason.

The East City is close to the mansions of noble officials, and most of the merchants sell high-end goods. Apart from some luxury items with local characteristics, there are also fruits, fine wines, and horses imported from the Western Regions.

After spending another two sticks of incense, in addition to gaining a lot of knowledge, Lu Bu's hands are still empty.

He felt a little thirsty, so he stopped in front of a melon and fruit stand run by Han people. There were many fruits on the boards laid horizontally by long logs, such as courgettes, melons, fragrant fruits, pomegranates...

Seeing these fruits made Lu Bu and his three mouth water. Although they had never eaten any of them in the poor area of ​​Bingzhou, they had seen quite a few of them.Only one thing, Lu Bu stared at it for a long time but didn't recognize what it was.

It was a bunch of emerald green elliptical fruits. According to the stall owner, the name was 'Putao'.As early as when Bo Wanghou was sent to the Western Regions for the second time, he brought back the big Han.However, this kind of fruit is rare, not to mention ordinary people, it is difficult for even middle and lower level officials to get it.

Lu Bu asked the price, and the stall owner's reply really surprised him. A bunch of small putao is worth thousands of dollars.

Behind him, Wei Musheng was greedy, and he couldn't help asking tentatively, "Can I try one first?"

"No, no, you have to pay if you eat." Seeing that Lu Bu and the other three didn't look rich, the stall owner shook his head quickly.He has seen a lot of country bumpkins like this, and they just come to watch the excitement, and want to try something new, so they don't want to buy it.

How can there be such a good thing in the world!

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

"Give me three courgettes."

Lu Bu swallowed his parched throat, handed the stall owner a hundred and twenty coins, picked up three courgettes, and handed them to Chen Wei and Wei Musheng behind him respectively.

Before leaving, he still did not forget to glance at Putao on the board stand.

Even though Lv Bu is a general now, the annual salary is indeed much higher than that of ordinary people, but if you want to buy Pu Tao to try something new, then it is really a winner or loser.

What's more, he really didn't have any spare cash on hand.
