Gao Jin immediately stood up and went to see Lu Bu. This time Lu Bu did not meet him at the Prefectural Mufu Mansion. Gao Jin followed the servant through a stone road lined with small garden buildings on both sides, and a majestic mansion stood in front of him.
Looking at this mansion, you can tell that the owner of this mansion must be a wealthy prince. The vast gardens on both sides of the road are lit with lights in a symmetrical pattern, making people feel that the more than twenty feet long road under their feet is
The stone road is the central axis of the mansion, and the mansion in front of you is in the middle of the garden.
There are two more pavilions in the garden, both of which are erected on a rectangular pool. They have double eaves and red tiles. There is a gorgeous crown on the top of the pavilion. Below is a white stone platform with beautifully carved railings. Let’s not worry about it for now.
Strange flowers and trees, small bridges and flowing water, and winding paths lead to tranquility. Just these two pavilions show the taste and ingenuity of the builders.
The arrangement of plants in the garden is also very thoughtful. Cold-resistant evergreens such as pines and cypresses are used as the main tone, coupled with deciduous trees and seasonal flowers, forming a rich green environment. Although the garden is full of frost, snow, and rain and snow,
But it still reminds people of the beautiful scenery in spring and summer. Strange stones moved from other places can be seen in the woods from time to time, adding to the quiet and elegant atmosphere of the garden. The main house is even more colorful against the backdrop of the garden, compared to the Marquis Mansion.
There is no need to give in too much. It is in a north-south layout, with nine bays in width and four bays in depth. It is rectangular, with double eaves and flying ridges on top, and a palace-style gate with a white stone platform below. There is a small spring in front of the house that runs from east to west, and two shelves.
This stone bridge with white jade railings is so majestic that it is unbelievable.
There were soldiers holding spears everywhere on both sides of the road, motionless. Gao Jin didn't know that there was such a place in Xiapi City, so he asked the person leading the way: "Is this also the lord's mansion?"
The guide replied: "This was originally the residence of Liu Yi, the vassal king of Xiapi State. After the country was eliminated due to the Yellow Turban Rebellion, this residence remained. Because it was the residence of the clan, the lord did not include it in his name.
, I just asked people to come and stay here occasionally after some repairs."
Gao Jin nodded. Although the feudal lords were now fighting for hegemony and the Han Dynasty was gradually declining, the clan's residence was still one of the symbols of imperial power. If you stayed there, you would inevitably face accusations. It was appropriate for Lu Bu to do so.
He followed the leader into an attic. The leader went in to report, and then Gao Jin stepped in. He only saw the wall lamp slowly turning, Lu Bu was pacing back and forth with his hands behind his hands, and a man on the other side was Yu Jin, who was wearing prison uniform.
, kneeling on a table, with several plates of food and a jug of wine placed in front of the table, Yu Jin ate happily, and stopped eating when he saw Gao Jin come in.
Lu Bu's patience seemed to have reached its limit. When he saw Gao Jin coming in, he cast his eyes over with dazzling eyes and said, "Bo Luan."
Gao Jin glanced at Yu Jin and said to Lu Bu: "My lord."
Lu Bu tilted his head slightly, looked towards Yu Jin with a pair of tiger eyes, and said, "Yu Jin has something to say to Boluan."
Gao Jin was slightly startled and said, "I don't know what those words are."
It turned out that Lu Bu wanted to surrender to Jin, but Yu Jin was dissatisfied and said that he was accidentally captured by Gao Jin on the battlefield. If he surrendered, he would have to fight again.
The last time Gao Jin captured Yu Jin was indeed a fluke. At that time, Yu Jin knew that he had fallen into the trap and was quite at a loss for a moment. Gao Jin suddenly rushed over and captured Yu Jin repeatedly. Yu Jin was still angry to this day, so he deliberately provoked Lu Bu and said,
I am willing to fight Gao Jin again. If Gao Jin wins, I am willing to surrender. If I am forbidden to win, I need to release him.
Lu Bu was looking forward to this fight, and he had great confidence in Gao Jin, so he nodded in agreement.
After hearing the cause and effect, Gao Jin couldn't help but glance at Yu Jin who was full and full of energy, and thought highly of him. Yu Jin's move was considered a wise move. On the one hand, he provoked Gao Jin to fight, and if he won, he could escape.
If you leave, even if you lose, you won't lose anything.
This person was quite scheming. Gao Jin smiled slightly, turned to Yu Jin and said, "General Yu Jin is competing, Gao Jin will naturally accompany him to the end?"
Yu Jin was a little embarrassed. He stood up and said, "I want to ask General Gao for advice."
Lu Bu put his hands behind his back and said, "General Yu Jin is full now. Shouldn't he take another sleep to regain his strength before dueling with Boluan?"
Yu Jin said: "That's very good."
Gao Jin originally thought that the competition was going to happen now, but he didn't expect that today was just a prior notice. He knew that Lu Bu had other plans, so he didn't raise any questions. It wasn't until a sergeant led Yu Jin away that Lu Bu said in a deep voice: "Young man, how dare you provoke the general?"
Yu!"
Gao Jin said: "My lord, have you guessed his intentions?"
Lu Bu said proudly: "How could I not know this kind of little trick? I just knew it was to provoke the general, but I still agreed to him." After saying that, he patted Gao Jin hard on the shoulder: "I have confidence in Bo Luan.
It’s time to see if he is convinced.”
After that, he added: "The time for the fight is chosen at the banquet for Yuan Yao. It can not only subdue Yuan Yao, but also let Yuan Shujun see how powerful Xuzhou men are."
Gao Jin nodded.
Lu Bu suddenly asked: "Have you arrived to welcome Mr. Yuan today?"
Gao Jin told what happened today one by one. He knew in his heart that Lu Bu might have known about today's situation, so he didn't hide anything. He finally said: "Yuan Yao is extremely arrogant, and the young general was also angered by him for a moment.
So rude."
Lu Bu slightly chinned his head and said, "Yuan Shu has gone too far to deceive others. This time I occupy Guangling, I haven't argued with him yet. This Yuan Yao is actually so arrogant. There is no need to accommodate him too much."
Speaking of Yuan Yao, Lu Bu was both angry and confused. He had four generations and three nobles, and a distinguished family. A son from such a noble family really made Lu Bu envious. Lu Bu was born in poverty and knew the hardships of a poor family. Therefore, his character had both
Proud of himself, but also deeply ashamed of himself, he said coldly: "Bo Luan, what do you think of my marrying Jun Wan to Yuan Yao?"
Gao Jin didn't expect Yuan Shu to ask such a question. He didn't know how to answer for a moment. He was silent for a moment and said, "This is absolutely impossible."
Lu Bu closed his eyes and seemed not surprised by Gao Jin's answer. He said in a deep voice, "What is Boluan's reason?"
Gao Jin said: "Based on Yuan Yao's family background."
A trace of surprise flashed in Lu Bu's eyes. He had never thought that this was the reason for Gao Jin's objection.
Gao Jin said: "Most of the young masters from such a prominent family are full of arrogance and are looked down upon by everyone in the world. Miss Lu has been favored by her lord since she was a child. How can she know how to serve and accommodate others? If she marries Yuan Yao
, how should the two of them get along? If the master really loves the young lady, he should not let her marry into the Yuan family."
Lu Bu said: "You said that Jun Wan cannot get along with Yuan Yao. How can you see that?"
Gao Jin said: "Isn't what happened today a clear proof? The generals and young generals in the city have been waiting for us in the wind and snow for a long time, but he went straight into the city without even touching the ground, ignoring us."
Lu Bu smiled and pursed his lips without saying anything.
Gao Jin saw that Lü Bu couldn't listen, or that Lü Bu was still hesitant, so he stopped trying to persuade him. Sometimes too much advice would have the opposite effect, so he said, "My lord, rest a little. Gao Jin takes his leave."
Lu Bu nodded and said, "Grow up enough energy and you can win this battle."
