Arriving at Luoyang's most famous blacksmith shop, Chu Huan prepared to forge a handy weapon. Ever since he had obtained shen power, no matter what he used, it was as light as a feather.
"What's the heaviest polearm you have here?”
A naked and muscular man walked out. When he saw Chu Huan's armor, he knew that his background was not small.
"I wonder what kind of weapon General wants to forge?”
After Chu Huan explained the idea, the blacksmith frowned." I've made horse lances before, but they're so heavy. I'm afraid ordinary iron will break in a short time. If I use my ancestral skills, the cost will be quite high."
"It's fine. What's the price?"
"Three hundred gold taels."
To Chu Huan, he had obtained a lot of spoils of war from the Battle of Guangzong and was now a true tycoon.
"Since you can forge it, then use the best materials. Also, forge a saber like this.”Chu Huan said that he would use the knife in the future.
Seeing the blacksmith nod his head, Chu Huan's thoughts became active. It seemed that this blacksmith was a talent. He must take him with him when he left Luoyang.
....
When he returned to the General's manor, He Jin called him to the study for a meeting.
During this period, he walked through countless pavilions and corridors, allowing Chu Huan to see what true luxury was.
When he arrived at a pavilion, he was told that this was the study.
This made Chu Huan feel even more helpless.
Speaking of which, why would a butcher like you need to use such a big study? How many words could he recognize? What a waste.
"Greetings, Great General." Chu Huan bowed.
"Qing Yan, don't be so formal. I've always had a good relationship with General Lu Zhi.”
Chu Huan was on guard after hearing this. It seemed that He Jin really wanted to rope him in.
"Greetings, Uncle."
Since the other party was giving him face, it would not be good to brush him off.
"Nephew, what do you think of the current government?”
"The eunuchs monopolize power, and the Ten Generals disrupt politics. In the long run, the Great Han Dynasty will not be able to protect itself.”
Of course, Chu Huan wouldn't say that his relatives were interfering in politics.
After receiving an accurate answer, He Jin smiled." It seems that nephew also hates the eunuchs. Since that's the case, come to the palace with me tomorrow."”
....
The next day, in Chongde Hall.
"Xuan! General Chu Huan and Chu Qingyan, please come to the palace!”
Stepping into the luxurious hall, the civil and military officials stood on both sides with their heads slightly lowered. On the nine-dragon throne at the front sat a pale and dispirited old man.
Spirit Monarch!
"General Chu Huan pays his respects to Your Majesty. I hope that Your Majesty will achieve martial virtue, be benevolent and mighty, bless the common people, and enjoy eternal happiness.”
The Spirit Monarch's murky eyes lit up upon hearing this. He did not expect this young general to be so brave and his words to be so pleasant to the ears. Not bad.
Zhang Rang, Zhao Zhong, and the others beside him were somewhat worried. Fortunately, this kid had volunteered to go to that place. Otherwise, if he had stayed in the court, he would definitely have gained power.
"My dear minister, please rise."
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
"In this battle against the Yellow Turban rebels, you have made a great contribution in killing Zhang Jiao. After discussing with my father, I have conferred upon you the title of Pingnan General and Jingzhou Governor.”
As expected!
The money he had given out earlier was not in vain.
Although Jingzhou was a place of war, it was the granary of the world and the gathering place of scholars. It was a natural base camp.
After apologizing to Liu Biao in his heart, he immediately received the reward.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness. This subject's insignificant contribution has earned Your Majesty's favor. I will be loyal to the country and sacrifice my life for the Great Han Dynasty.”
"Minister, you are indeed a talented young man. I hope that after you take office, you can calm the unrest in Shanyue and ensure the peace of Jiangnan.”
"This subject will die! However, I have a request for Your Majesty.”
"My beloved minister is a subordinate of the Great Han Dynasty. If you have any requests, just say it. I will do my best to satisfy them.”
"I heard that there is a talented woman in Luoyang who can compose at the age of seven and play the zither at the age of nine. I have long admired her. If I can be her husband, it can be said that my greatest wish will be fulfilled!”
"Is she the daughter of the Cai Family?" asked the Spirit Monarch after a moment of silence.”
"That's right. I hope that Your Majesty can issue an edict to bestow marriage.”
.....
Three days later, outside Luoyang City.
He Jin personally sent him off. It was unknown if he was showing his true feelings, but his eyes were filled with tears.
"Nephew, I don't know when we'll meet again. If you're free in the future, you should come back to Luoyang to take a look.”
"Don't worry, uncle. I will.”As he spoke insincerely, Chu Huan only hoped that He Jin would not be like in history, foolishly killed by the Ten Attendants.
After interacting with him these days, he had a good impression of He Jin. Putting aside those tricks, he was actually just a victim of power schemes.
Apart from his 2,000 troops, there were also 1,000 warriors sent by His Majesty.
As for the twelve-year-old Cai Yan, she was in a carriage.
There was also that blacksmith who was bribed by Chu Huan with a whole 500 gold taels to bring his entire family to Jingzhou.
At this moment, He Jin let go of Chu Huan's hand and said reluctantly,""The weather is about to change.”
"Yeah, the weather is going to change."
