Hua Xiong finally left the East Palace helplessly.
Although Liu Mastiff was the prince, he did not have such huge power to change the appointment of Sili Xiaowei. Of course, he still helped Hua Xiong to go to Houde Hall to ask, but as soon as he opened his mouth, the emperor kicked him out.
, this kind of national important matter, is it possible for a brat like you to speak? Liu Mastiff had no choice but to return to the East Palace and told Hua Xiong the result. Hua Xiong left in despair. From today on, he will have to live a kind of life.
A very strange life.
Liu Mastiff sent him away. Liu Mastiff didn't know whether Hua Xiong could be a good Sili captain. He could only wait for the officials from the East Palace to come back and find a way to help Hua Xiong. Of course, it was not to help him resign, but to
Help him pay attention to Sili's situation. If anything goes wrong, notify the commander of Sili immediately and let Hua Xiong deal with it quickly.
After seeing Hua Xiong off, Liu Mastiff got up and headed to Zhijinwu's camp and left the East Palace. Shi Huan and Han Hao were cautious in their eyes. Last time, they were knocked down by Lu Bu in one fell swoop.
Out of shame and humiliation, this time they followed Liu Mastiff to Zhijinwu's camp again. They all held the swords around their waists tightly and were extremely cautious. Unlike Liu Mastiff, Liu Mastiff was not afraid and went to apologize to others.
He didn't think anything was wrong.
What he was thinking about was the relationship with General Lu. Liu Mastiff knew very well that there were not many people who were able to pursue the post of Taiwei. The only ones who were worthy of this post were Yuan Shu, Sun Jian, Lu Bu, and Tai Shi Ci.
A veteran general is capable enough to hold this important position. It is completely unnecessary to provoke a general with the qualifications of a lieutenant. He just wants to repair the relationship with General Lu, but he cannot become a good friend.
Don't let him feel dissatisfied.
With this in mind, Liu Mastiff came to the gate of Zhijinwu's camp with the heavy gifts he had prepared.
The soldiers stationed at the camp quickly saluted, but this time, they could not let him in.
They sent people in to report, with faces full of humility, and they said: "Your Highness, don't be surprised. This is the military law designated by General Lu. Except for the emperor and the general, everyone else is staying outside the camp, waiting for the general's order."
,," He said this, and Liu Mastiff smiled and said: "General Lu is very strict in running the army, and he has the appearance of a thin willow. How can I blame him? This is what he should do. How can he let others do this in an important military place?
Trespassing?"
While the two were chatting, soldiers arrived, paid homage to the prince, and took him to see Lu Bu. Liu Mastiff followed him all the way in. In just a period of time, there were earth-shaking changes in the military camp. The training of the soldiers
The sound seemed to be in my ears, and I could see soldiers performing various drills from a distance. Some were practicing archery, some were practicing equestrian skills, and there were even two people practicing fighting.
Unlike Dong Zhuo's death, which left the entire military camp in a state of decadence, today's Zhijinwu Camp is full of energy. Lu Bu's role during this period is extremely huge. The soldiers led Liu Mastiff all the way to
Arriving at the main school grounds, Lu Bu was holding a spear and fighting with the surrounding soldiers. After Liu Mastiff arrived, he pretended not to notice and just went about his own business.
Liu Mastiff was not impatient and stood aside, watching with interest and making comments from time to time. Although he did not understand military affairs, he had also seen Guan Yu, Hua Xiong, and even Dong Zhuo and others training soldiers on this school field.
They all paid more attention to military formations. When training their soldiers, they mostly let them advance and retreat together, or respond in various ways according to orders. However, Lu Bu was different from them in that he paid more attention to the individual combat abilities of his soldiers.
His training was a bit more cruel than before.
After a while, Lu Bu came over, walked to Liu Mastiff's side, cupped his hands, and said: "I don't know that the prince is here, I'm sorry, I'm sorry!" Liu Mastiff said quickly: "I don't dare, I offended the general before.
Mastiff felt guilty, so he came here to express his apology and hope that the general would forgive him!" He said, and bowed to Lu Bu again. Lu Bu saw that Liu Mastiff was sincere, so he did not embarrass him any more.
He took him back to the camp.
The two sat facing each other, and Liu Mastiff also fully expressed his respect. Although he was much younger than Lu Bu, in terms of dealing with things, Liu Mastiff was many times more mature than Lu Bu. With just a few words, he could coax him.
Lu Bu laughed repeatedly and was extremely proud.
"Before Dong Gong passed away, he often told everyone that he had never seen a brave warrior who could surpass Lu Fengxian in his life! At that time, the generals in the entire camp were unconvinced and held their breath, wanting to fight General Lu.
Hi, later, Dong Gong told us about General Lu's amazing achievements in the Northeast War. He said that General Lu held the King of Han in one hand and a spear in the other, while fighting and retreating, and tens of thousands of soldiers could not be retained.
!!”
Lu Bu listened with a smile, waving his hands from time to time and saying, "Dong Gong is overly praised!"
He is not someone who likes to be praised by others, but if the person being praised is the current prince or the future emperor, then that would be a different matter!
The two of them were chatting happily in the tent, when suddenly a crisp cry came into the tent.
"Where is the thief? Is he in the camp?"
I saw a gust of fragrant wind blowing towards my face, and Liu Mastiff trembled all over. The girl appeared in front of Liu Mastiff again. This time, she was still wearing a smart outfit, with a heroic appearance and a frown. She was different from ordinary women.
She was even more heroic, and Liu Mastiff was stunned. She rushed into the tent, and her phoenix eyes searched the tent, and finally landed on Liu Mastiff.
"What a thief!!" she cursed, and struck Liu Mastiff with the spear in her hand.
Shi Huan stood up quickly, deflected the spear in her hand with his sword, stared at her angrily, then turned back to look at Lu Bu, and asked: "General Lu?"
Lu Bu had a gloomy look on his face and said angrily: "This is the Crown Prince, don't be rude!" When the girl saw that Lu Bu was angry, she was not afraid, and shouted: "So what, the Crown Prince, the Crown Prince can bully others at will."
What?"
"What are you talking about?! His Highness has already apologized..."
"He never apologized to me!"
Lu Bu couldn't move his daughter and became even more angry. He immediately stood up and wanted to scold him. Liu Mastiff stood up quickly, stopped Lu Bu and said, "It was indeed my fault earlier. I should apologize to the general's beloved daughter..."
." Before Lu Bu could speak, Liu Mastiff bowed to her gently and said: "The previous misunderstanding is the Mastiff's fault, so don't blame it!"
Seeing Liu Mastiff's appearance, the girl's expression softened. She looked up and down at the young man in front of her, nodded, and said, "If you had said this earlier, I wouldn't blame you. Why would you run away? I
It’s not unreasonable…”
"I was afraid of General Lu's reputation before, so I left in a hurry..." Liu Mastiff said with some embarrassment.
Then she laughed, looked at Lu Bu and said, "Father, he is also afraid of you!"
Lu Bu pushed her out helplessly and continued chatting with Liu Mastiff. For some reason, Liu Mastiff was inexplicably absent-minded and his words were not fluent. Lu Bu just thought he was tired and did not leave him alone.
I sent him out of the camp and said goodbye to him.
With two guards in tow, Liu Mastiff lowered his head and walked to the camp door without knowing what he was thinking.
"Ouch!" Liu Mastiff suddenly shouted.
"Your Highness, what's wrong?" Han Hao and Shi Huan asked.
"I forgot to give the great gift to the general that I prepared earlier... Otherwise, please excuse me..." Liu Mastiff said, Shi Huan nodded, looked at Han Hao, and said: "You can stay here.
Look at your highness, I will give it to the general..." Han Hao was stunned, looked at Liu Mastiff beside him, and said: "How about I go with you... It would be better for us to go together...
"
"How can this be done? You still have to stay and take care of His Highness. Have you forgotten what happened before? How can you let His Highness stay here alone!" Shi Huan said with some displeasure, then took the gift and headed towards the school grounds.
.
Liu Mastiff sighed and looked at Han Hao beside him, feeling a little unhappy.
"Your Highness?"
"Um?"
"How about we go to the racecourse?"
"This...is not good..."
"That?"
"Let's go!"
Liu Mastiff appeared at the racecourse again, looking at the group of red horses in the distance and the girl on the horse. He leaned on the fence and watched in fascination. Han Hao on the side shook his head with some emotion, His Highness,
I have grown up after all.
"Your Highness!" Shi Huan's voice made Liu Mastiff react quickly, turned his head, coughed, and said, "Shi Jun, have the things been delivered?"
"It's been delivered. Why is Your Highness here?"
"Haha, look at the horse."
Liu Mastiff didn't say much and led the two of them away, but the silvery bell-like laughter echoed in his ears.
Even after returning to the East Palace, Liu Mastiff looked a little lost and out of shape. Seeing his appearance, Shi Huan was very anxious and almost asked the imperial doctor to check His Highness's body again, but he almost got into a fight with Han Hao.
Come on, sometimes, Han Hao really couldn't understand how such a fool could be attracted by Master Wang and teach him swordsmanship.
Near the end of the month, many officials from the East Palace returned one by one, and everyone returned one after another. Liu Mastiff naturally hurried to greet Yuan Shu. Yuan Shu didn't look sick at all, but was extremely excited, almost crazy, and even thinner.
, Yuan Shu was very happy to see Liu Mastiff, and took him back to the East Palace. Everyone gathered in the East Palace one by one, and Liu Bei did not bother him.
They talked to each other, telling many interesting things they had encountered in the local area. In these days, they had become familiar with each other and talked happily. Liu Mastiff looked at Yuan Shu beside him with some worry and asked in a low voice: "Master
Jun, are you in good health?"
"Hahaha, you don't have to worry, I'm fine!"
Yuan Shu slapped his chest and said with some pride: "Also, Hua Xiong came to me and asked me to help him. He became the Sili Colonel. He is too upright, and he is afraid that he will be played by the officials.
, my health is gradually getting better. I am going to report to the emperor and serve as a lieutenant. Anyway, I have to stay in Luoyang to teach you and help Hua Xiong without any delay!"
"Even if it's a little lower than that guy Hua Xiong, if you can do something practical, that's fine!"
"Hahaha, with me in Sili, there will be no Xiao Xiaoxiao!!!"
