But there was an inexplicable feeling in his heart that he and this general would see each other again sooner or later.

Chen Gong left, and Lu Bu looked away.

Today, he failed to use it for his own use. Although Lu Bu felt regretful in his heart, he still chose to respect Chen Gong's decision.

Maybe one day in the future, they will meet again.

Who can say for sure about fate?

Behind Chen Wei and Huang Zhong, seeing Lu Bu being such a stern corporal, they were unavoidably curious about his identity.But they can't interfere with the matter of the Lord, so they have to suppress their thoughts forcibly.

Seeing that the two were curious, Lu Bu didn't hide it from them, and said with a smile, "An old friend."

After sending Chen Gong away, Lu Bu started walking on the street.

Following the position marked on the invitation, after some groping, Lu Bu soon came to the gate of Zhang Rang's mansion.

Upon learning of Lu Bu's arrival, Zhang Rang went out to greet him in person, which was enough to give Lu Bu face.

Entering the mansion, Lu Bu was really shocked.

Zhang Rang's mansion was actually built in imitation of the imperial palace, and its level of luxury is unbelievable.He originally thought that his mansion was big enough, but now compared with Zhang Rang's, it is nothing but nothing, not worth mentioning.

The emperor used to like to climb the Yong'an Houtai and look at Luoyang with a pole.

After Zhang Rang found out, he was at a loss. He didn't know what the emperor would think when he saw his mansion, so he arranged for Shang Dan, a senior member of his party, to persuade the emperor, saying: "Your Majesty should not climb high. If you climb high, the people will be hypocritical." scattered."

The emperor felt that there was some truth, and he never went to pavilions and pavilions.

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

Entering the mansion and hall, Zhang asked Lu Bu to sit down, and the servants in the mansion quickly brought melons and fruits to the table.

These fruits all came from the Western Regions as tribute, including the 'Putao' worth thousands of dollars that was seen in the Chang'an market that day.

"Zhang Changshi, I don't know why I invited a certain person to come to the house this time?"

Lu Bu asked aloud, picked a grape by the way, put it in his mouth to taste and chew, it was sweet and sour, with endless aftertaste.Then he took two more pills and handed them to Chen and Huang standing behind them.

The two took it respectfully, and Lu Bu was able to think about them in everything, which moved them deeply.

"Our family has admired the general's reputation for a long time, and we have long wanted to know each other. However, the villain instigated it, causing our family to misunderstand the general time and time again. I invite the general to come to the house today, just to apologize to the general in person." Wearing a purple silk robe Zhang Rang's tone was kind. After taking off his court eunuch uniform, he looked just like an ordinary rich old man in the city.

"Zhang Changshi, if you have something to say, just say it. Lu is a rough man, and he doesn't have so many twists and turns."

Lu Bu's tone was calm, Zhang Rang wanted to kill himself several times, how could he just let the past go by with one or two hypocritical words.

Zhang Rang was not angry, he clapped his hands lightly, and the servant outside the door carried a square red lacquered wooden box into the hall and placed it on the desk in front of Lu Bu.

Lu Bu looked at Zhang Rang, Zhang Rang smiled at him and made a gesture asking him to open.

Fearing that there might be fraud, Chen and Huang stepped forward, one on the left and one on the right, holding one side each, and carefully opened the wooden box.

At first, Lu Bu thought that Zhang Rang wanted to erase the grievances between them by giving gifts, so it should contain priceless antique treasures, or strange treasures from the Western Regions.

But after opening it, Lu Bu was slightly surprised, it was not gold, silver and jade, but a bloody human head.

Lv Bu has been on the battlefield for a long time, and he has killed countless people. A mere head, naturally, can't scare him.

What surprised him was that the human head contained in the box was actually Zhang Li.

Zhang Li wasn't originally surnamed Zhang, but after he took refuge in Zhang Rang, he deliberately changed his surname in order to please his master.As for the original surname, there is no way of knowing.

This guy who wanted to kill himself in Wancheng, probably never dreamed that he would die in the hands of the master he wanted to please the most.

Lu Bu glanced at his head, then looked away, and asked Zhang Rang, "Zhang Changshi, what do you mean?"

"The general doesn't know something. This person has plotted against the general many times before, almost killing the general."

Zhang Rang pretended to be sad, and counted Zhang Li's bad deeds in detail: "That's not counting. After our family sent someone to check it out, he actually lied about his meritorious deeds and deceived his superiors and subordinates, taking all the credit for the general on himself. Wait for the villain, our family absolutely cannot keep him!"

Regardless of 21, Zhang Rang put all the blame on Zhang Li and let him take the blame for himself. Anyway, Zhang Li is dead, so he can't speak now.

Zhang Rang was able to rise from an ordinary court servant to his present position because of his thick schemes and methods. He could kill and abandon the followers and disciples under his subordinates as long as necessary.

Now, in order to show the sincerity of reconciliation with Lu Bu, two days ago, he specially sent someone to assassinate Zhang Li, and quickly transported his head to Luoyang.

From Lu Bu's point of view, the enmity between him and Shi Changshi is not enough for just one head.

Lu Bu didn't go around in circles, and cut straight to the point: "There is something about Lu, if Zhang Changshi can help me complete it, we will cancel all the past grievances."

Hearing these words, Zhang Rang became serious: "General, please tell me."

Zhang Rang knew better than anyone else that the emperor's physical condition was getting worse day by day.

He hoped that Lubula could be put on his own boat for his own use.In this way, even if He Jin launches a forceful attack in the future, with Lu Bu's strength, it will not be difficult to keep them.

"I want Yan Xin, governor of Wuyuan County, to serve as governor of Bingzhou." Lu Bu made a condition. He originally wanted to wait for his position to be completely stabilized before asking the emperor.But now that Zhang Rang wants to win him over, why not take this opportunity and ask Zhang Rang to check his words first.This old eunuch has always been able to understand the emperor's mind.

"This……"

Zhang Rang's tone dragged on for a long time, obviously feeling embarrassed, and he didn't respond for a long time.The imperial court has a clear document that none of the governors of the thirteen prefectures of the Han Dynasty should be served by local officials or scholars, in order to prevent collusion with each other and form a huge separatist force.

If he had facilitated this, it is estimated that someone in the court would make a fuss about it and criticize him.

Seeing Zhang Rang hesitating there, Lu Bu guessed that Zhang Rang would be able to facilitate this matter, but he was undecided in his mind, so he put a high hat on him: "This matter, others will definitely not be able to do it. According to some estimates, it can be done , only Zhang Changshi has one ear."

Hearing Lu Bu's flattery, Zhang Rang felt a little happy. After thinking it over and over again, he gave a reply: "This matter is not easy, but if it can be done, our family also has something to ask the general."

"Zhang Changshi, please tell me."

Zhang Rang let go, and Lu Bu was undoubtedly happy. As long as Zhang Rang's conditions were not too excessive, he could agree.

Because Lu Bu knew very well that the current governor is the future governor of the state.

The so-called state pastor is the ruler of a state, who is above the county guard and holds all the military and political power in the state.

In other words, it is the local emperor officially certified by the imperial court.

What Zhang Rang wanted was power in Luoyang City, while what Lu Bu wanted was the rule of a state.In terms of interests, they have no direct conflict.

"The grievances between our family and the general must have been heard by the general. The general believes in the gang of nobles and partisans under his command, and it has not been a while since he wanted to get rid of us. Only because of His Majesty's check and balance, the general That's why I didn't dare to act rashly." Zhang Rang first explained the situation to Lu Bu, and then he said his request: "What our family wants to ask the general is that if one day in the future, we are in trouble and the general wants to take my life, General, please save my life."

After hearing these words, Lu Bu was quite surprised.The world said that Zhang Rang relied on flattery and flattery to get to the top, but today, it may not be true.

Simply speaking, the old eunuch's vision is one of the most vicious, and he has such a keen sense of crisis.

"Okay, I promise you. If Zhang Changshi is in trouble in the future, Lu will do his best to save him." Lu Bu responded to Zhang Rang's request. If Yan Xin could be allowed to take the position of governor of Bingzhou, even if he saved Zhang Rang's life, For him, it doesn't matter too much.
