Chapter 199: Lu Zigan goes to Hexi

The circular formation dispersed, and Lu Zhi urged the horse to come out slowly.

After only a few months of sight, Dong Qi discovered that Lu Zhi looked much older. When he left Luoyang, most of Lu Zhi's hair was still black in memory. But now, the hair has almost turned white.

It was nearly November and the wind was biting.

Lu Zhi wore a blue long gown and a jacket on the outside.

There was no trace of energy and energy in my eyes. The heroic posture I had when I was commanding before disappeared as I fought.

Dong Qi quickly dismounted and stepped forward to pay his respects.

Lu Zhi also jumped off the war horse and supported Dong Qi. His turbid gaze looked Dong Qi up and down, as if he wanted to see through Dong Qi's inner world. However, Dong Qi believed that there was no ghost in his heart, and faced Lu Zhi's gaze without saying a word.

"I am just a vain and can't bear the great gift of An Ningting Hou."

The title of Anningting Marquis has been on Dong Qi for almost a year. But in Dong Qi's impression, whether it is Cai Yong or Lu Zhi, they will only call him Anningting Marquis when they are joking. Teacher, what's wrong?

Dong Qi said: "Teacher, what's wrong with you? Students are your students for one day and your students for the rest of their lives."

Lu Zhi closed his eyes and his cheeks twitched violently.

After a while, he whispered: "Xiping, why are you here?"

Dong Qi quickly replied: "The student heard that the emperor had passed away, so he led the recruitment of new troops and rushed to Luoyang overnight. He didn't want to meet a teacher here... Teacher, why are you not in Luoyang? Where are you going in this journey?"

At this time, a young man jumped out of the convoy, about ten years old.

"Dad, my second mother seemed to be frightened and had been vomiting just now."

When Dong Qi heard this, he quickly turned around and said, "Dong Tie, go to the central army immediately, ask Pang De to speed up, and bring a military doctor here."

"Xiao Tie is going now!"

As Dong Tie spoke, he jumped into the air and galloped along the original path.

Dong Qi recognized that the boy was Lu Zhi's only son, named Lu Yu, who was only eleven years old. He turned around and ordered Wu Anguo and others to set up camp on the spot. After Ling Cao arrived, he helped collect the wounded.

Lu Zhi was watching from the side without saying a word.

However, Lu Yu followed Dong Qi and looked at the military horses pointing their fingers and inquiries.

After a while, two marching doctors arrived, and the camp had been built. A family led the military doctor to take care of Lu Zhi's wife. Dong Qi picked up Lu Yu and walked into the camp with Lu Zhi, sat down, but was speechless.

"Teacher, what happened?"

Lu Zhi suddenly said, "Xiping, why don't you tell me?"

"What do you tell me?"

Lu Zhi bit his lip and said with difficulty for a long time: "During the Yongqiu Rebellion, Liu Xuande had appeared among the rebels."

"ah……"

Dong Qi has been hiding this matter because he is worried that Lu Zhi will not be able to bear it after hearing the news.

But I didn't expect...

Although Dong Qi did not answer, Lu Zhi already understood.

Two lines of turbid tears slid down their cheeks silently, their fists clenched, and their bodies kept trembling.

Suddenly, when he beat the table, Lu Zhi said sternly: "Liu Xuande, Lu Zhi will not forgive you!"

A mouthful of blood spurted out, and Lu Zhi fell to the ground with his back on the sky. This scared Dong Qi. Lu Yu was crying, and Dong Tie, Ling Cao and Wu Anguo outside the tent entered the tent. Seeing this scene, Dong Tie turned his head and left.

"Xiao Tie, where are you going?" Wu Anguo asked loudly.

"Look for a military doctor!"

Dong Tie's voice was still echoing in the tent, and people were gone.

This is also the main reason why Dong Qi admires Dong Tie. This kid has a wink and knows the severity of the matter. Dong Qi held Lu Zhi in his arms and asked Wu Anguo and Ling Cao to protect him outside the tent. After a while, Dong Tie led a military doctor in.

Dong Qi walked out of the tent with Lu Yu in his arms and sighed.

"Xiao Yu, do you know what happened to the teacher in Luoyang?"

Lu Yu was still shocked, so he could say it clearly. He sobbed and said, "I don't know either, but one day after my father came back, his face looked very ugly. After staying in the study for a day, I vaguely listened to his words cursing about someone who is not a son of humanity. The next day, my father resigned from his post and many people came to keep him, but my father was determined to leave Luoyang."

"When was that happening?"

Lu Yu tilted his head, thought for a while and said, "It was probably twenty days ago."

Twenty days ago, that is, the few days after Dong Qi received the death of Emperor Han. Who told Lu Zhi that the news?

At that time, Dong Qi was the only one who could call out Liu Bei's name.

And Dong Qi didn't tell anyone, so naturally it was impossible for everyone to know.

As for the rebels, although some prisoners were captured, most people did not know the origin of Liu Bei. They only said that they were heroes found by Wang Fen, but no one knew the name.

If this happened at other times, Dong Qi would not care.

But when this sensitive time happened, Dong Qi had to be careful.

Did Lu Zhi know it by accident, or did someone deliberately pass the news to Lu Zhi? If it was intentional, who would it be? What was the purpose? Dong Qi stood in the open space and fell into deep thought. If the general surnamed Yan who was killed by him was Yan Liang, and Xu You appeared, then the Yongqiu Rebellion must be related to Yuan Benchu.

This incident itself has very heavy traces of party members...

Liu Bei and Guan Yu later left with Xu You. Xu You was Yuan Shao's person and inevitably had news with Yuan Shao.

The most important thing is... Could it be that Liu Bei and Guan Yu defected to Yuan Shao?

Dong Qi couldn't help but take a breath. If this were the case, Yuan Shao would naturally know the details of Liu Bei and Guan Yu. If Yuan Shao told Lu Zhi... Could it be that he was trying to force Lu Zhi out of Luoyang? But what was his purpose?

The more Dong Chu thought about it, the more scared he felt.

It was faintly vaguely that he felt that there seemed to be a thousand threads in this place, one end of the clue was held in the hands of the party and the other end...

The party members are now dependent on He Jin, so on, can they deal with their father on the other side?

Dong Qi is very strong and is wearing a thick jacket. Although the weather is cold, he will not feel the chill.

But now, he felt a chill that he had never felt before...

At this time, the military doctor finished checking Lu Zhi's body, walked out of the tent, and came to Dong Qi.

"Mr. Lu is fine, he was just angry for a moment. The villain has already passed the needle and probably will wake up in a while."

Dong Qi patted the military doctor on the shoulder and smiled and said, "Thank you for your hard work!"

After saying that, he walked into the tent with Lu Yu in his arms. Dong Tie raised a brazier in the tent, and the temperature was much higher than before.

As soon as he sat down, someone came to report that Pang De brought the central army to arrive.

"Let him camp on the spot, we'll fix it here tonight."

"Here!"

Ling Cao turned around and withdrew, and Dong Qi waved his hand to signal Wu Anguo and Dong Tie to retreat. Lu Zhi woke up slowly, and Lu Yu jumped out of Dong Qi's arms and ran to Lu Zhi's side and cried, "Dad, you scared Xiao Yu just now!"

"Yu'er, don't cry, go out to play first. Daddy wants to talk to your brother Xiping."

Lu Zhi said with a smile, and Lu Yu agreed obediently.

After Lu Yu went out, Lu Zhi and Dong Qi sat face to face. After a long time, Lu Zhi said, "Xi Ping, why didn't you tell me earlier?"

"I'm worried that the teacher will be sad."

"But I will feel even more uncomfortable if you hide it from me like this."

Lu Zhi closed his eyes and said painfully: "Lu has been loyal to the Han Dynasty and the Emperor in his life. You are the best among the disciples he has received in his life. But you should not hide this from me. Liu Xuande plotted against the ruling and killed the king, and he was unforgivable and his crimes were not allowed to be punished. If you had told me earlier, I would definitely report to Emperor Ming to send a document to arrest Liu Xuande. I, Lu Zhi, have been loyal and upright all my life, and even if I die, I would not allow such a person to ruin the reputation of the loyal and kindness of my Lu family for generations."

Dong Qi was speechless.

"Teacher, how did you know about this?"

Lu Zhi said: "A few days ago, Yuan Wei suddenly invited me to drink. When talking about this matter at the banquet, he mentioned that there was a white-faced thief and a red-faced thief. I was very surprised at the time, so I asked casually, but that characteristic was Liu Xuande."

"ah?"

"The three brothers Liu Xuande worked under my tent during the Taiping Dao Rebellion. His second brother Guan Yu used a Qinglong Yanyue Sword with a red face and a beautiful beard; his third brother Zhang Yide used a snake spear and a leopard head and swallow jaw. Except for these three people, there were no other three people in the world. I didn't believe it at the time, so I went to your Beim Villa to ask Beigong Wei who participated in the war at that time. The answer I came up with... Such a traitor, what face did I have to stay in Luoyang?"

Dong Qi felt a little sad, it was indeed related to the Yuan family.

He couldn't understand some things too clearly, so he had to indirectly say: "Sir Lu, what's the current situation in Luoyang?"

Lu Zhi was stunned for a moment, then sighed, "It's a mess."

"How do you say this?"

"After the new emperor ascended the throne, He Suigao took over the new army in Xiyuan. The emperor tried hard to cut off He Jin's military power and found the new army in Xiyuan, but he did not expect that He Jin would finally fulfill his life. I see that the Tu family will definitely be another wing in the future."

Liang Yi was a general during the reign of Emperor Huan and was arrogant and domineering.

Dong Qi didn't think so, just because He Jin didn't have Liang Yi's ability.

Lu Zhi said: "As soon as the emperor left, somehow, the two palaces began to fight. I really couldn't understand what Empress Dong was thinking... Even though she knew that He Jin was in a big position, she still had to compete with him. When I left Luoyang, He Jin took down General Dong Chong, the cavalry general, and sent him to Hejian on the grounds that Empress Dowager Dong was originally a vassal concubine and was not suitable for staying in the palace for a long time."

The vassal concubine refers to the princes and princes.

Empress Dong was originally the Marquis of Jieduting, which was the concubine of Emperor Liu Hong of Han.
