Puzzled, Lady Yan asked, "Is this matter very difficult to decide?"
Lv Bu chuckled, and said: "Why would it be difficult to decide on this matter! It was just that Niu Fu, Guo Si and a few others were jealous of Chen Lang and kept on saying bad things about him, which was why their foster father was hesitating. Hmph, that Li Ru who claims to be a schemer, can actually only mix with mud, it's useless! " Lady Yan and Lv Lingqi could not help but worry for Chen Lang.
After Dong Yuan left Lv Bu's home, she rode her horse and walked on the streets, thinking about who else she could seek for help.
At this moment, a shout came from behind her, "Take care, Miss Dong!"
Dong Yuan reined in her horse, and turned to see Jia Xu's chariot approaching him. She immediately had a thought. The carriage arrived in front of Dong Yuan, and the cloth-clothed Jia Xu got down from the carriage and bowed: "Good morning, Miss." Dong Yuan laughed: "I was just looking for Mister." Jia Xu laughed: "I believe it's General Ying Yang who is looking for me." Dong Yuan said with a look of admiration on her face, "No wonder Big Brother kept praising Mister, Mister's foresight is really as good as the gods'!"
Jia Xu laughed, seeing a tavern not far away, he said: "If it's convenient for young miss, why don't we go to that tavern to drink and chat." Dong Yuan took a glance at the restaurant and said, "That's exactly what I want."
The two of them arrived at the restaurant and found a seat near the window. The waiter walked up and bowed. "Sir, Miss, what do you want?"
Jia Xu said: "Give me a pot of good wine, a few dishes will do." The waiter responded and left.
Seeing that there were very few customers in the restaurant, Dong Yuan could not help but exclaim, "In the end, Changan is not as bustling as Luoyang, and there are actually no customers in the restaurant at this time!"
Jia Xu laughed: "Although Chang An is not as prosperous as Luoyang, but there are still tens of thousands of households. It's just that the Grand Preceptor has chased the commoners out of the city to cultivate his Aconitum mongolicum Thunb, which is why the city is so lonely. " Dong Yuan nodded. The waiter brought the dishes up, said "Take your time," and left.
Jia Xu poured a cup of wine for both of them. Dong Yuan laughed: "Since mister has godly foresight, why did big brother ask me to come here for?"
Jia Xu picked up his wine cup and drank, then laughed: "This one is in trouble, Miss, how can I guess if you call me that randomly!" Dong Yuan laughed: "Mister, please try to guess." Jia Xu thought for a moment, looked at Dong Yuan, and said, "Miss's goal in coming here was to convince the Grand Preceptor to increase the Luoyang's military expenditure. Everyone knows about this, if Miss had done this, you probably wouldn't have asked." He paused for a moment, "Generals like and Gan Ning are invincible beside General Ying Yang. However, there was no one who could advise him on this matter. I've heard that General Ying Yang has met with a lot of trouble recently. " He smiled, "I dare deduce that General Ying Yang invited Miss to see me. Could it be that he wants me to help him out by going to the Luoyang?"
Dong Yuan's face was filled with amazement, she gave a thumbs up and said, "Sir's foresight is truly divine, it's precisely so!" Then she asked, "What do you think, sir?"
Jia Xu thought for a while, then shook his head: "I still don't want to go to Luoyang."
Dong Yuan asked in puzzlement: "Why is that?"
Jia Xu laughed: "There's no special reason, it's just that there's a lot of things to do here, for the time being, I can't do anything about it." Seeing that Dong Yuan had revealed a look of displeasure, she said: "Actually, my aptitude is mediocre, General Ying Yang does not need me to help him!" Dong Yuan snorted, "As long as you understand it yourself! Actually, with Big Brother's talent, there's no need for you to support him! " Jia Xu laughed. Dong Yuan was no longer willing to drink with this ungrateful person, and stood up: "I still have things to do, farewell." As he spoke, he prepared to leave.
Jia Xu immediately stood up and called out: "Miss, please wait!"
Dong Yuan turned around and asked snappily: What else do you want?
Jia Xu walked in front of Dong Yuan and said in a low voice: "May Miss inform General Ying Yang, that although General Ying Yang is a hero who came from the heavens, he cannot create too many enemies, especially now, where he must not have any presumptuous thoughts! Dragon's Roar required a torrential rain from the nine heavens. If the timing was not right, the dragon would trap the beach! For the time being, it is still necessary to hide! "
Dong Yuan was completely clueless as to what Jia Xu was saying. She furrowed her brows and asked: "What do you mean?"
Jia Xu laughed, "When Miss tells General Ying Yang these words, he will naturally understand." Dong Yuan frowned, snorted, and left. Jia Xu laughed, returned to his seat and continued drinking, looking relaxed and at ease.
The next morning, Dong Yuan went to the main hall of the Grand Preceptor's estate early, but did not see any other civil or military officials. Just as she was wondering, a eunuch came in through the side door. Seeing that, Dong Yuan hurried over and asked: "Eunuch, why is father not here?"
The eunuch smiled. "The Grand Preceptor is tired, so he's not coming to handle official matters today."
Dong Yuan frowned, she anxiously asked: "Then what I want, has father made a decision yet?"
The eunuch said, "This lowly one is here on behalf of the Grand Preceptor to inform the young mistress." "The Grand Preceptor has already discussed this matter with his lordship last night. For the time being, he doesn't think it's necessary to increase General Ying Yang's military expenditures."
Dong Yuan panicked, "How can Father be like this?!"
The eunuch replied, "That's how the Grand Preceptor is sure." "In addition, the Grand Preceptor still needs Miss to tell General Ying Yang that he should guard the Luoyang well and not go north to the prefecture of Wanzhou without permission. The Grand Preceptor is worried that this will give the Duke of the East an opportunity to launch a surprise attack on him, which would cause him to lose a lot of weight." Dong Yuan anxiously said: "I want to see father!" The eunuch replied, "It's best for Miss not to see him. "The Grand Preceptor has already made up his mind. If the young miss continues to pester him, she'll probably be unhappy. That way, things won't look good." Dong Yuan hesitated for a moment, snorted, and turned to leave.
His gaze returned to the Luoyang.
Chen Lang sat in the great hall. Xue Tong was currently reporting to Chen Lang: "General, this subordinate has followed the general's instructions to see the few Scholars s from the Wealthy Class in Luoyang. I have told them what the general wants to do, but those people refused to take out any money."
Guan Yu who was standing at the side could not help but frown and said angrily: "Don't tell me they are not worried that our troops will be attacked by the chaotic army again?"
Xue Tong said: "Please forgive me for my bluntness, but I'm afraid those Wealthy s would be eager to see the Duke of the East come in! This official is even suspecting that those Wealthy Scholars s are secretly connected to the Duke of the East. "
Gan Ning said angrily: "We might as well learn from Dong Zhuo and plunder the homes of those Wealthy Scholars s!" Before escaping from Luoyang, Dong Zhuo had planned to loot all the Luoyang's Wealthy Class Scholars's families and take them to Chang An. However, because the alliance troops were moving too quickly, Dong Zhuo only had enough time to take a few households and had no choice but to flee Luoyang. Although a large majority of the Wealthy Class Luoyang had escaped this crisis, there was still lingering fear in their hearts. With regards to Chen Lang, Dong Zhuo's subordinate, and the matter of the Imperial examinations, the Wealthy Luoyang had almost treated Chen Lang as their enemy.
Hearing Gan Ning's words, Xue Tong was startled, and immediately waved his hand: "No way! It's precisely because Dong Zhuo is acting so unruly that those Wealthy Scholars are sharing a strange bed with us! If this continues, we will lose the heart of all the Scholars in the world! " Gan Ning said snappily: "If we don't do that, does that mean Scholars likes us! They still treat us as enemies! " Xue Tong exclaimed, and then said: "In short, we are not allowed to act like bandits!"
Chen Lang couldn't help but to have an impulse to do what Gan Ning had said, and rob all of Luoyang's Wealthy Class Scholars s! However, Chen Lang restrained his impulse, he was not worried about the people in the Scholars, but was worried that if this happened, it would cause the entire society to become restless, and at that time, he was afraid that it would not be worth it.
Chen Lang thought for a while, then asked: "If the Scholars's Wealthy Class does not share the same heart as us, then what about those big merchants?"
Xue Tong was startled, and said: "This, this official has yet to come into contact with any of them."
Chen Lang said: "Go and interact with those big merchants, maybe we'll reap some rewards." Xue Tong cupped his fists and replied.
An officer ran in and cupped his fists: "General, General Chunyu Qiong has caught Master Dong Min, she will arrive at Luoyang in the afternoon."
Chen Lang laughed: "Master Dong is here, let's go welcome him."
Chen Lang brought his important generals and officials to the west gate of Luoyang to wait. Not long after, they saw the long line of people walking in from the west. Chen Lang and the others looked at each other, and Chen Lang mocked: This Master Dong Min really knows how to enjoy! Guan Yu coldly snorted, and said: "Just by looking at this scene, you can see just what kind of rubbish this Dong Min is!"
Chunyu Qiong spurred her horse to the side of the carriage and lowered her head to look at the window that had the curtains down: "Master, we have arrived, the great general is bringing her men to welcome you."
When the curtains opened, Dong Min stuck his head out, with a jade arm hanging around his neck. Dong Min looked ahead with drowsy eyes, and when he saw Chen Lang and the rest, he frowned and said unhappily: "Why are there only those few who came to welcome me? Why is there no singing or dancing? " Chunyu Qiong did not know how to answer this unfathomable question.
When the group reached the city gates, they stopped. The curtains opened and Dong Min staggered down from the support of two rumours dancers.
Chen Lang cupped his fists and said: "Master Dong, thank you for your hard work!"
Dong Min snorted, pointed at Chen Lang and bellowed: "Chen Lang, how dare you! Why didn't you kneel down when you saw This Lord! " All of the singing and dancing ladies beside Dong Min started laughing.
Guan Yu and the rest could not help but be angered; Chen Lang laughed: "Master Dong must be drunk. Master Dong, you are only the general in charge of the affairs of Luoyang, and I am the general in charge of the military affairs of Luoyang.
Dong Min glared and shouted: "How dare you! "I am the Grand Preceptor's younger brother, and I represent him. If you don't respect me, then I won't!" Then, he pointed at Chen Lang and shouted, "Come on, capture this man who dared to go against us!" The guards of Dong Min looked at each other, not daring to attack!
