Walking closer, Lu Bu noticed that Zhang Ning's facial features were very gentle.
Her beauty was slightly better than Zhen Jiang's, making people feel very comfortable looking at her.
She was a beautiful woman who became more and more pleasing to the eye.
Seeing that this little girl still wanted to recruit him, Lu Bu couldn't help but laugh,"
"Does Young Lady know who I am?
My name is Lu Bu, also known as Fengxian.
With the information network of the Road of Peace, you should know my identity, right?”
After Lu Bu said his name, Zhang Ning's face was filled with shock."
"You…you're the Great Han's Marquis Champion?"
She had never imagined that she would meet the Marquis Champion in this small village.
"That's right, it's me."
Hearing Lu Bu's name, the two higher-ups beside Zhang Ning became wary.
Zhang Ning quickly came back to his senses and waved at the two of them.
"You don't need to be nervous.
With the strength of the Marquis Champion, if he wanted to harm us, how could we still be alive?”
She took out a golden token and smiled gently at Lu Bu,"
"Just now, I was rude to recruit Lord Marquis.
This is a peace token that only the core disciples of the Path of Peace have. Please be my subordinate.
This little girl wants to form a good relationship with Lord Marquis on behalf of my father.
With this token, Lord Marquis is a distinguished guest of the Road of Peace.
If you need the help of the Path of Peace, we will not be stingy.”
Lu Bu took the token. It was warm to the touch and emitted a faint fragrance of a woman.
Lu Bu couldn't help but sigh. This Zhang Jiao's daughter really knew how to be a good person. He really couldn't hate her.
Lu Bu put the peace token into his sleeve and said to Zhang Ning,"
"I will accept this Peace Token.
However, if the Road of Peace causes chaos in the world one day, I will still take action.”
Lu Bu turned around and left.
A high-ranking official of the Path of Peace beside Zhang Ning said in a deep voice,"
"Saintess, this Marquis Champion is a famous general of the Great Han Dynasty. He is a great threat to the Path of Peace.
Should we take this opportunity to get rid of him?”
Zhang Ning said softly,
"I heard that General Lu Bu only led a thousand cavalry deep into the desert and killed the Xiongnu Qiang Qu Chanyu.
Later on, he charged into the formation alone and killed the Left Virtuous King in the middle of the 200,000 Xiongnu army.
If Senior Martial Brother Tang felt that he had the ability to take the head of an army, he could give it a try.”
Senior Martial Brother Tang's face turned red and he stopped talking.
Zhang Ning continued,"
"Since this Marquis Champion of the Great Han Dynasty has obtained the peace token, it proves that he is not our enemy.
At least not yet.
Senior Martial Brother Ma, Senior Martial Brother Tang, the most important task of our trip is to contact the constant attendants of the court and prepare for next year's event.
Don't lose the big for the small.
It is inconvenient for me to enter Luoyang City, so I'll have to leave it to you two senior martial brothers.”
The Senior Martial Brother Ma and Senior Martial Brother Tang that Zhang Ning mentioned were Ma Yuanyi and Tang Zhou, the direct disciples of the great teacher, Zhang Jiao.
Zhang Jiao thought highly of the two of them and made Ma Yuanyi the Divine Envoy.
Let them go to Luoyang to buy the constant attendants and work together at the same time.
Ma Yuanyi nodded solemnly and said,"
"Holy Maiden, don't worry. Ma Yuanyi will do everything he can to get this done!”
Tang Zhou's eyes were wandering, and no one knew what he was thinking.
After Lu Bu returned, Zhang Liao smiled wretchedly and said,"
"Senior Brother, why is the Saintess looking for you?
Do you like you?
Why don't you just give in to her? Although Sister Ying cooks well, she's not as beautiful as this saintess.”
Lu Bu stretched out his finger and flicked Zhang Liao's forehead.
"Kid, you only think about these things between men and women every day. Can't you still have some innocence of a teenager?”
Zhang Liao said righteously,
"This Second Young Master of the Li Residence will be sixteen years old after the new year.
Yang Ergou next door already had a son when he was sixteen.
If it wasn't for the fact that I have a single senior brother, I, Zhang Liao, would have gotten married long ago!”
Lu Bu thought about it and felt that what Zhang Liao said made sense.
He was 20 years old this year. In this era, he was considered an older leftover man. It was time for him to find a wife and get married.
However, Zhang Ning was definitely not an option. This girl's father was a traitor, and Lu Bu still wanted to rely on the Han Dynasty.
The next day, Lu Bu's group set off early and arrived at Luoyang at noon.
Luoyang City was adjacent to the Luo River. The city walls were towering and tall, and the city gates were open to both sides.
The group followed the suspension bridge across the moat and arrived at the city gate.
The city gates of Luoyang were very spacious, and could accommodate eight carriages in both directions.
Mighty and majestic soldiers stood guard on both sides of the city gate. There was an endless stream of merchants coming and going, slowly entering and leaving the city gate.
Lu Bu and his brothers rode their horses and slowly followed the crowd.
Zhang Liao looked up at the city wall and said to Lu Bu,"
"Eldest Shixiong, Luoyang City is so spacious, much more spacious than our Jiuyuan.
The city was so lively. It was indeed the capital of the Great Han Dynasty!”
Seeing that Lu Bu and the others were riding on warhorses and holding weapons in their hands, the city guards hurriedly stepped forward to block their path.
"Who are you?
Come down and verify your identity!"
Lu Bu dismounted from his warhorse and took out a seal to pass to the city guard.
"General, I am Lu Bu from Jiuyuan. I have come to Luoyang to meet the Emperor on His Majesty's orders.”
The officer checked Lu Bu's seal and immediately became respectful.
"So it's the Marquis Champion!
Lord Marquis, please enter the city!”
Lu Bu's group was respectfully invited into the city by the city guards. Zhen Yu, who had been waiting at the city gate, welcomed them.
"Zhen Yu greets my lord!
My father has already bought a house in the south of the city. My lord, please follow me.”
"Then I'll have to trouble Zirong (Zhen Yu).”
Lu Bu nodded his head in satisfaction. The Zhen father and son were really efficient.
Lu Bu followed Zhen Yi to a spacious mansion.
The walls of this mansion were two zhang tall, and the copper gate had a cornice, showing the owner's taste and the dignity of a noble family.
The stone slabs at the entrance were paved with high-quality bluestone, and a pair of stone lions stood lifelike on both sides of the door.
On the wooden plaque in the middle of the door were the words 'Marquis of Champions' Estate.'
Lu Bu and the others entered through the main entrance and saw fifty to sixty servants and maids standing in the front hall. They bowed at the same time and said,"
"Greetings, Lord Marquis!"
Even Lu Bu felt that this display was somewhat exaggerated.
"Zirong, is there a need to be so exaggerated?
Zhen Yu smiled and said,
"Father said that the lord is now the marquis of the Great Han Dynasty and is no longer the same as before.
He had to keep up the facade.
The Marquis of Champion's Estate should be livelier.
The Chamber of Commerce will pay for all the expenses of raising servants. My lord, you don't have to care.
As for the candidate for the steward of the marquis's manor, Yu will be the one to take up the post. I wonder if the lord is satisfied?”
Lu Bu could see through Zhen Yi's thoughts. He wanted his eldest son to become the closest person to Lu Bu.
"I'll naturally be at ease leaving the marquis 'manor to Zirong.”
Zhen Yu had a timid personality, but he was very meticulous. Lu Bu found it easy to use such a housekeeper.
"My lord, father has already prepared a banquet in the manor to welcome you.”
