Chapter 21 Half-Life Mistakes
Outside Lu Zhuang, a team of fully armed soldiers were waiting for Lu Bu, fifty of them all exuded murderous aura. However, most of the men in Lu Zhuang were trained by Lu Bu, and Zhuang Yong, who guarded Zhuangzi, was even more elite. Although his equipment was not as good as these people, his momentum was not bad at all. He was worried that these people would come to cause trouble, so he did not dare to let them in, so he just sent someone to notify Lu Bu.
This is not the border guard!
When Lu Bu saw these people, he immediately realized that these people were not border guards, and even the generals of the border were not so exquisite.
"Who are you?" Lu Bu looked at the soldiers and frowned.
"But Brother Fengxian?" A sound of hearing the news came from the carriage protected by thirty soldiers. Lu Bu looked up and saw a middle-aged woman lifting the curtain and getting off the carriage with the help of the soldiers. The woman had a hint of heroism that ordinary women did not have in her graceful demeanor, and she looked familiar.
"You are..." Lu Bu couldn't recognize him for a moment, and there seemed to be not many women with identity that he knew.
"Little sister Yan Xueyun." The woman Wei Wei bowed and chuckled, "Brother hasn't seen each other for many years, but his heroic appearance has not diminished."
"It turned out to be the wife of the imperial envoy. Lu Bu dared not climb up, so the wife would still call me my name." Lu Bu snorted coldly. Yan Changkong's son-in-law later became the imperial envoy. This was what a retired general in the army told Lu Bu when he passed by Lu Zhuang a few years ago.
"So many years have passed, and my brother is still hating my father?" Yan Xueyun looked at Lu Bu, a little disappointed.
"I dare not, what a hero of General Yan? How can Lu Bu be a reckless man be qualified to resent him?" Lu Bu shook his head and said, "If Madam is just watching a joke, now I have seen it, please go back. Although Lu Bu is a villain, he doesn't want to be high."
"My little sister just wants to show her something to her brother. If she still wants to drive her away after seeing her, she will turn around and leave, and she will never leave for a moment." Yan Xueyun smiled at Lu Bu.
Lu Bu didn't say anything anymore. Yan Xueyun asked someone to lift a box in front of Lu Bu and opened it. There were memorial books inside, which were already very old.
"What does this mean?" Lu Bu looked at Yan Xueyun in confusion.
"These are all memorials from my father who recommended his brother to the court." Yan Xueyun sighed and looked at Lu Bu and said, "Brother, take a look."
Lu Bu didn't understand the meaning, so he took out a roll of bamboo slips from the box and opened it to read it. However, Yan Changkong recommended his memorial to the court. It was written by him in the years when he was a county magistrate.
Looking at the familiar handwriting, Lu Bu felt a little uncomfortable, and took out a few more volumes to read, and recommended him, a total of twenty-one volumes, which started from the year he returned to his hometown.
Lu Bu held the memorial in his hand in a daze, not knowing what he felt for a moment, but felt that the resentment he had been suppressing in his heart for more than 20 years turned into confusion.
"The imperial court did look at military merits at first, but after reaching the level of general, it was about to see his origin. My father wanted to... let you and me get married. In this way, my brother would be considered a background and it would be easier to promote it. But..." Yan Xueyun sighed. Some rumors in the army also spread to the general's mansion. Yan Xueyun admired Lu Bu's ability to abandon his wife without being moved by wealth, but it also made it more difficult for Lu Bu to be promoted.
"Old... why didn't he say it?" Lu Bu felt his voice trembling when he said this.
"Would you say it if it were a brother?" Yan Xueyun asked back: "My father said that his brother looked very similar to him when he was young."
Of course, it won’t happen. If things are not done, what’s the use of saying it?
"In order not to make my brother feel neglected, the rewards issued by the court later were all added by my father, and the money used by the Yan family was also used. Unfortunately..."
Unfortunately, Lu Bu was too arrogant and couldn't stand it. He felt that the army was unfair to him, so he was directly passive and lazy.
Lu Bu's eyes were a little sore, he raised his head, took a deep breath and said, "Madam, how is the old general in good health now?"
When he left the military camp, Lu Bu was only 30 years old, Yan Changkong was already fifty. Now Lu Bu is already at this age. After all, Yan Changkong is already seventy years old.
"It's not good. According to my father's wishes, these things would not be used for generals. But now the national strength of the big karma is declining, and the court's support for the border areas is decreasing. Now the food and salary in Beiguan are less than half of the previous years. In order to consolidate the defense line, my father's hair is already gray. Every time the Hu people attack, I always hear my father say that if Feng Xian is here, what round of these Hu children are rampant... I have recently suffered a serious illness. I either sneer on the situation in Beiguan or call my brother's name in my sleep..."
Lu Bu felt as if something was blocking his heart. He listened silently that Beiguan's defense ability has been getting worse and worse in recent years, Lu Bu could detect it. He also had the idea of helping to share some pressure here.
"Father may not be successful..." Yan Xueyun looked at Lu Bu: "Brother, can you go back and see him?"
Lu Bu nodded and said, "Wait for me... I'll go now!"
I wanted to show that Ri left, but when I thought that Yan Changkong might have reached his dying moment, Lu Bu couldn't sit still and immediately asked someone to lead his horse over.
"Father, today is your birthday. What's so important?" Lu Bu's sons grabbed Lu Bu and looked surprised.
"Brother, don't worry, it's okay for my father to be sick. My younger sister didn't know that today is my brother's birthday, so she came here without preparation. I hope my brother will forgive me!" Yan Xueyun quickly stopped Lu Bu and said.
"These are the best gifts." Lu Bu's knot in his heart for more than 20 years had been untied for most of his heart, but he wanted to fly back to Beiguan at this moment.
"There's no rush. My younger sister came here like this and was hungry. Can you let me eat some wine too?" Yan Xueyun asked with a smile.
"Of course, Bu is entertaining Weizhou." Lu Bu smiled and brought Yan Xueyun back to the village and introduced her to his wife.
"The civilian woman has seen her wife." The wife stood up with the help of her daughter-in-law and wanted to salute Yan Xueyun trembledly. Yan Xueyun dared not bear it, so she hurried forward to support her.
"I have heard that my brother has a good wife at home and I have never visited her. It is my sister who should pay my respects to my sister-in-law."
Although it is a politeness, Lu Bu naturally did not want his wife to give gifts to others. He immediately supported his wife and said, "At a young age, don't care about these empty tributes. The banquet is here, let's wait for the banquet."
"The brother and his wife are really envious." Yan Xueyun said sincerely. Lu Bu's wife is obviously not a beauty. She is from the same origin as Lu Bu, but Lu Bu can abandon her wealth and persist in this day. With this alone, Lu Bu has surpassed 90% of the men in the world.
