Originally, this kind of trivial matter of leading the way and seeing him off could be done properly with just one or two small eunuchs from the Huangmen.

However, Zhang Rang insisted on coming.

First, he wanted to show his attitude to the emperor, and second, he did have something he wanted to say to Lu Bu in private.

"General Lu can become a general in the court at a young age, and his future prospects can be described as limitless. I am here, so I congratulate the general first."

On the wider palace white stone road, Zhang Rang cupped his hands towards Lv Bu, with deep meaning on his face: "If the old man is in trouble in the future, I hope General Lu will help him out."

"Of course, if there is anything you don't understand, the general, you can come to the old man's mansion for advice. The ability to kill the enemy in battle is not as good as the general, but when it comes to being an official in Luoyang, the old man can still teach you a thing or two."

Zhang Rang said it seemingly sincerely. These words not only meant to win over Lu Bu, but also concealed a slight self-deception.

After serving the emperor for so many years, Zhang Rang couldn't see the official situation very clearly.

Your Majesty favors you, even if you are a dog, no one in the entire Han Dynasty would dare to step on it; if the emperor doesn't want to see you someday, even if you are a three-legged prince, you will still fall to pieces.

As a newcomer, Lu Bu didn't understand these things, but he was not so simple as to regard this as Zhang Rang's initiative to show his favor.

The old eunuch in front of him looked benevolent and harmless to humans and animals.Don't forget his identity because of this, the head of the ten permanent attendants!

In recent years, Zhang Rang has killed more gentry party members than Lu Bu.

Lu Bu was born in a military camp, so he knew little about the world and the way of being an official.This also made it difficult for Lu Bu to smile at a character like Zhang Rang, who was always teasing him over and over again.

And if you want to be an official in the ruling and opposition parties, this is still a basic operation.

Frontier fortresses pay attention to force, and when they arrive in Luoyang, especially in the palace, they must pay more attention to brains.

Walking out of the palace, Zhang Rang sent Lv Bu to Yuhe Road before stopping.

"General, please go back to the Carrying Propaganda Hall to rest for two days, wait for the old man to vacate the mansion, and then send someone to invite the general." Zhang Rang said.

Lu Bu turned his head sideways, and when the latter saw him looking at him, he smiled kindly and narrowed his eyes.It was only then that Lu Bu realized that not only could he not see clearly the emperor's mind, he could not even fathom this seemingly twilight old eunuch.

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

Back at the Xuan Xuan Hall, Feng Chang Zhang Yuan greeted him with a smiling face, said some flattering words like "the general has worked hard", and ordered the servants in the hall to put hot water on Lu Bu to bathe and change clothes.

During this period, Zhang Yuan vaguely inquired about Lu Bu's entry into the palace.

Lu Bu didn't seem to want to hide it from him, and told Zhang Yuan that the emperor named him a general of Yulin Zhonglang, asked him to be in charge of the Yulin army, and gave him a mansion.

This encounter made Zhang Yuan jealous.

He has been working in Luoyang for so many years, not to mention making pilgrimages to the palace, he has never even seen the face of the emperor a few times.

As for promotion, it is even more distant.

A few days later, a middle-aged steward in gray clothes came to the Propaganda Center and said that he wanted to see Lu Bu.

This person was sent by Zhang Rang to take Lu Bu to see the steward of the new residence.

Before leaving, Lu Bu walked up to Zhang Yuan and whispered in his ear: "Zhang Fengchang, I have been taken care of by you these days, and Bu will keep it in mind. When someone gets a firm foothold in Luoyang in the future, I will definitely introduce him to His Majesty." to you."

As soon as these words came out, Zhang Yuan's heart beat violently, and he even wanted to cry. After all these years, there was finally someone who could remember him, Zhang Yuan.

He wanted to thank him on the spot, but Lu Bu stopped him with his eyes.

Lu Bu followed the steward and walked for a long time in Luoyang City, walking from south to north, and after entering a street named 'Beining', after walking a short distance, he stopped in front of a mansion.

"Patriarch, we are here." The steward bowed aside, making way for Lu Bu.

The mansion that came into view was more than two feet high, perhaps because of Luoyang's architectural preference, most of the mansions used the gate as the gate.

Lu Bu's mansion is no exception. There are single gates on the left and right, and the doors are connected by solid wood bricks and tiles. The place where the plaque is placed is empty. It is definitely not something ordinary civilians can afford to live in.

In Luoyang, a place where every inch of land is expensive, even if you have money, you may not be able to buy such a nice house.

The mansion of the upper class is a symbol of status.

There were more than [-] maids and servants standing in front of the door. When they saw the steward bringing Lu Bu, they all never imagined that the new Patriarch would be so young and handsome.

After the steward coughed lightly, they all saluted and greeted each other: "Slave waits to pay homage to the Patriarch, and the Patriarch will live a long and healthy life."

"This is the servant girl specially prepared by Zhang Gong for the Patriarch. I hope the Patriarch will not reject Zhang Gong's intentions." The steward introduced humbly from the side.

Lu Bu nodded slightly, went up the stone stairs, and walked into the mansion.

The mansion is very big, at least several times bigger than the small courtyard in Wuyuan.Not to mention the gardens and halls in various parts of the mansion, there are more than twenty rooms just for accommodation.

This surprised Lu Bu greatly. He really never thought that Zhang Rang would have such a big hand, and he couldn't help but feel a little admiration for the courage of this great servant.

But in fact, Zhang Rang is also very heartbroken. Whoever made this is what the emperor meant.

What is the emperor most concerned about?face!

If one day the emperor is bored and wants to come to Lu Bu's mansion, if he looks so poor, where will you put the emperor's face.

Zhang Rang knew the emperor's temper well, so even though he was reluctant, he gave Lu Bu such a large mansion.

Accompanied by the steward, Lv Bu walked around for a long while before he finished his tour of the mansion.

It was only later that Lu Bu found out that the former owner of this mansion was Da Si Nong, one of the nine ministers in the past, who was imprisoned and exterminated for impeaching the ten permanent servants for forming a party for personal gain.

This mansion, which should be confiscated according to the law, was also assigned to Zhang Rang by the inventory officials who followed suit.

Of course, Zhang Rang had a deeper meaning in sending this mansion to Lu Bu, which was to hint at what would happen to Lu Bu if he opposed him.

After visiting the mansion, Lu Bu decided to go to the Yang family and take Xi Ce and others back to live in the mansion.

Otherwise, in such a big house, he doesn't even have anyone to talk to, it would be so boring.

When he arrived at the Yang family's mansion, Lu Bu said to the servant at the gate: "Please tell me, Habayashi Zhonglang will ask Lu Bu to see you."

In the mansion, Yang Ting was chatting with Xi Ce, Cao Xing and others about the past, and heard that the steward came to report, saying that Habayashi Zhonglang would come to pay his respects.

Yang Ting was very puzzled by this, Yubayashi Zhonglang Hu Guanglin should be on duty in the palace at this time, and Hu Guanglin took the position of Zhonglang after being recommended by Zhang Rang, and he has never been with their Yang family. Come and go, come here to visit now, could it be that Zhang Rang instructed behind his back?

As for why Yang Ting knew that Habayashi Zhonglang's name was Hu Guanglin, it was because before the old Taiwei passed away, he was the right supervisor of Habayashi in the palace, and his status in the Habayashi Army was second only to Habayashi Zhonglang. .

The old Taiwei passed away, and as his descendants' children and grandchildren, he must go back to observe his filial piety, even if he was an official in the court.

Before finding out why Hu Guanglin came, Yang Ting naturally had no reason to block him from the door.He asked Xi Ce and the others to sit down for a while, while he and the steward went to the gate of the house to greet him.

When he came to the gate of the mansion, there was a tall figure standing at the gate.

This figure was very familiar to Yang Ting, and he immediately shouted, with uncontrollable joy in his words: "Lu Fengxian, you are finally here!"
