However, even with Hua Xiong's words, Liu Mastiff still did not dare to go there, so forget it. If he still went secretly and was discovered by others, wouldn't it be a disaster? Therefore, Liu Mastiff made the wisest decision. I wrote to my father and asked him if I could go.
Zhuge Liang and Hua Xiong were both shocked. They asked so openly and honestly, can the emperor let you go?
Obviously, the emperor didn't care about the so-called prince's friendship with the military. After all, Liu Mastiff was young and still his eldest son. Or perhaps Empress Cai played a role. The emperor sent a message with only one sentence: "Go quickly and stop making any noise!"
Liu Mastiff then happily followed Hua Xiong to Zhijinwu Camp. Zhuge Liang accompanied him. Hua Xiong rode a horse, but Liu Mastiff and Zhuge Liang could only ride in a car. Liu Mastiff looked at Hua Xiong galloping on his horse, He felt indescribable envy in his heart. He also wanted to ride a horse. After Hua Xiong noticed his gaze, he began to perform equestrian skills, turning over, getting up, or sideways.
Liu Mastiff and Zhuge Liang both clapped and applauded. Man Chong, the new official of the Northern Command of Luoyang who came later, was also impressed by Hua Xiong's superb equestrian skills. If his horse is taken away, he will be fined three hundred
Although Hua Xiong pointed at the prince in the carriage behind and defended himself a lot, the newly appointed official was not moved at all, and did not even go to salute His Highness. He frowned coldly and said: "Captain Hua has such a I was impressed by his superb equestrian skills, so I asked the school captain to raise three hundred coins within three days, otherwise I would kill this horse and hang its head on the city wall."
"Haha, please don't do this. I didn't notice at the moment, but the person in the carriage behind was His Royal Highness, the eldest son of the Emperor."
Liu Mastiff and Zhuge Liang saw them looking at them and saluted quickly. The official also bowed his hands and bowed in return. Hua Xiong breathed a sigh of relief. Zhuge Liang said loudly: "Your Highness, you have seen it. You can do this in the future." Riding the horse, since His Highness is the eldest son of the Emperor, there is no need to be afraid, just do as the Chinese school captain taught you, and just enjoy it!"
When Man Chong heard this, his face became even more ugly.
"You blatantly violate the laws and disciplines of the Pope's eldest son? That's not okay, he will be fined six hundred."
"Hey, Your Highness, I heard that this Lieutenant from the north of Luoyang is upright and upright. It turns out he is nothing more than that. What a light punishment he received."
"A fine of eight hundred."
Hua Xiong was stunned. He turned his head and glared at Zhuge Liang. Zhuge Liang shrugged and looked away. He gritted his teeth, looked at Man Chong, and cursed angrily: "You little guy, you just can't get along with me?!"
"If you openly insult your colleagues, you will be fined one thousand yuan."
"Hey, why are you doing this and hurting Captain Hua?" Liu Mastiff shook his head and said helplessly.
"Didn't he also hurt us a few days ago? His Highness, the enemy of the ninth generation, the Hua Lieutenant is so generous, and he will definitely not be as knowledgeable as me."
After saying that, the two of them quietly turned their heads and looked at Hua Xiong.
He saw Hua Xiong walking on foot beside the carriage, frowning and livid. Zhuge Liang was so frightened that he quickly lowered his head and did not dare to provoke him. In this way, he walked all the way to Zhi Jinwu's camp. The guard guard saw Hua Xiong in front of him. When he arrived, he immediately opened the gate. Liu Mastiff got out of the car and followed Hua Xiong in. As soon as he entered the camp, he saw some familiar things.
For example, most of the objects in Yuan Shu's mansion, such as grass targets and wooden figures, were originally designed according to the layout of the camp. In the distance, the roar of the soldiers was heard again. The soldiers were practicing. Zhuge Liang was surprised. They looked at various things in the camp with great curiosity. After talking with Liu Mastiff on the side, Hua Xiong led them to the front school field.
The soldiers held spears and formed a formation. There were not many in number, only a few hundred. Guan Yu stood above him, surrounded by drummers and flag bearers. As the drums changed and the flags flipped, the soldiers also Listing different formations, some moving forward, some retreating, some spreading out, and then gathering together, Zhuge Liang was so fascinated that he was speechless, his eyes were shining, he found another place, and sat down directly.
Due to his status as the emperor's eldest son, Liu Mastiff did not dare to sit so rudely and could only stand aside.
Guan Yu, who was training his soldiers, seemed to have noticed what was going on here. However, he did not stop training and did not salute. Liu Mastiff and Zhuge Liang did not take it seriously. They looked at the people training and were filled with excitement. Listening to the bursts of drums. The sound was even more exciting, and the soldiers’ shouts of killing, accompanied by the sound of drums, resounded throughout the world!
They watched for a long time, and then the drill ended. After the soldiers gathered and went to eat, Guan Yu came to them. After greeting each other, he looked at Hua Xiong beside him, frowned, and asked: "My horse What?" Hua Xiong coughed and said: "When I came here, I forgot that I left it at the Yuan Mansion. By the way, can you lend me some money? I have some urgent needs recently."
Liu Mastiff and Zhuge Liang looked strange. Zhuge Liang wanted to expose him but was afraid of being beaten by him, so he didn't say anything more.
From Hua Xiong's extremely unnatural expression, Guan Yu naturally noticed something unusual. However, in front of the prince and many soldiers, he did not ask too much. Hua Xiong said with a smile: "The meal has been served, so go and eat something." Come on, lest you run out of food later."
Everyone went to the canteen again. When the soldiers saw Guan Yu and Hua Xiong come in, they all stood up to pay homage and gave up their seats. When they saw two guys, one big and one small, who came in next, the soldiers also started to cheer and said: "Could this be the child of Captain Guan and Captain Hua?"
"Hey, these two boys are quite good-looking and have delicate features. They are definitely not the children of the school captain!"
"Although Hua Xiaowei is a bit uglier, Guan Xiaowei is good-looking. It is impossible to say that he is Guan Xiaowei's child!"
When Hua Xiong heard this, he became furious and began to curse again. The soldiers were scolded, but they just smiled. It can be seen that they usually have a good relationship with the soldiers. After all, they are all soldiers. , of low birth, Guan Yu pointed at Liu Mastiff and said: "You must not be rude, this is His Royal Highness the eldest son of the emperor."
The originally noisy canteen suddenly fell silent. The soldiers widened their eyes and looked at Liu Mastiff blankly, then looked at Guan Yu to confirm that he was not joking. This child of the Emperor's family actually came to this shabby canteen to interact with him. Are we going to eat together?? The soldiers were stunned for a long time, and then they realized what they were doing and stood up one after another. No one was kneeling anymore.
"Hold the Jinwu Tiger Camp and pay homage to His Highness!!!"
Everyone paid their respects in unison, but Liu Mastiff did not panic. He bowed his hands in a friendly manner and said, "You don't have to be like this, just sit down. You have worked hard and achieved great results, and I don't dare to take it for you!"
The soldiers still didn't dare to sit down, but after Guan Yu ordered them, they sat back down. Liu Mastiff sat between Hua Xiong and Guan Yu. When he heard that the eldest son of the emperor was coming, the food officer also spent a lot of thought and personally When it was brought up, Liu Mastiff looked at it, shook his head and said: "Since we are guests, we should take charge of the affairs. I am willing to work with others."
The food officer was also helpless. When he served it again, it was no different from the food of many soldiers. At least, it looked like this. Hua Xiong and Guan Yu also ate the same food as the soldiers. Only then did Liu Mastiff take a big bite. As he ate, he didn't forget to praise the food officer. The food officer was very happy and brought out another bowl.
The soldiers gradually became less restrained, and the canteen returned to its previous appearance. While they were eating, a man suddenly opened the door and walked in swaggering. Seeing this man, Guan Yu and Hua Xiong stood up quickly, and the soldiers He stood up again, but the man ignored him, waved his hand and said, "Just sit down. How many times have I told you that you don't have to do this? Do you still have food for me?"
"Dong Gong, yes!"
"What did you cook today?" Dong Zhuo said, stretched out his head again, looked at Hua Xiong's rice bowl, and said, "Meat porridge? Okay, give me three bowls!"
He simply sat in front of Hua Xiong, and the soldiers sat down one after another. Dong Zhuo looked at the two children in front of him, and the two children also looked at him blankly. Dong Zhuo looked at them, and then at Hua Xiong and Guan Yu. After studying them carefully for a moment, he looked at Guan Yu and asked, "Changsheng, are these two your children?"
Hua Xiong's expression became even more sinister.
Liu Mastiff stood up quickly and said, "Liu Mastiff pays homage to Mr. Dong!"
Zhuge Liang then paid a visit together.
When Dong Zhuo heard this, he was stunned for a moment, and then he realized what he was doing. However, he did not get up to return the greetings. He stretched out his big hand and directly pushed the two of them back to their positions. Then he said with a smile: "It turns out that the eldest son of the emperor is here. , Okay." He looked in front of the eldest son of the emperor, raised his head and shouted: "Your Majesty, what are you serving to the prince? Why is it all porridge and meat?!"
Under Dong Zhuo's roar, the rice bowl in front of Liu Mastiff was once again filled with meat. Liu Mastiff didn't know how to refuse. Looking at the big bowl in front of him, he was in a daze. Dong Zhuo said kindly: "Your Highness, please don't be polite to me. , feel free to eat, I have enough meat here, look how thin the prince has become. Is the food in this palace so bad? That’s not right, I think your majesty seems to be eating quite well."
Under Dong Zhuo's coercion, Liu Mastiff forcibly ate three large bowls of meat porridge, which made him unable to walk. He was really afraid of this enthusiastic general. He was too enthusiastic. After eating, Guan Yu led the soldiers to practice again. Hua Xiong stayed with Dong Zhuo and watched Guan Yu leave. Then he hurriedly asked: "Dong Gong, I have something to do. Do you want to help me?"
"What's the matter?"
"Ahem, when I was traveling today," Hua Xiong told Man Chong in detail about the matter of taking his horse away. He didn't conceal it or exaggerate it. As Dong Zhuohuo listened, his expression became more complicated. After Hua Xiong finished speaking, , said: "Dong Gong, this is the horse I borrowed from Changsheng. If it is chopped up by that guy, I'm afraid Changsheng will come and chop me!"
"You have to help me"
Upon hearing Hua Xiong's request, Dong Zhuo sighed helplessly, opened the door, pointed outside, and said, "Look, how did I get here?"
"on foot???"
“Where is your horse??”
""
"Mr. Dong, how much do you have?"
"Three thousand fellows said that as the king of the throne, I knew the law and broke the law, so I should be severely punished."
"hey-hey"
Hua Xiong couldn't help laughing. He raised his head and saw Dong Zhuo staring at him. The two were silent for a long time.
