Chapter 169 The Gate of the Mansion in Luoyang City ([-])
Luoyang, this ancient city, has been the capital of several dynasties?
Dong Bi's history is not good, and he is not very clear.However, he heard from Wang Ji that this city was once a royal capital during the Zhou Dynasty.Since Guangwu rejuvenated the Han Dynasty, Luoyang has become the political and commercial center of the whole world.

Since it is the center, it is very prosperous!
Although the weather is very cold, Luoyang city is very lively.

Coming out of the General's Mansion, Dong Bi and Lu Zhi walked side by side on the street.It can be seen that there has been heavy snow here, because there are still traces of snow on the eaves.But on the street, there is no water stain from the melting snow.

Walking on the street outside Yingchun Gate, Lu Zhi didn't speak.

Dong Tie led the horse and followed behind, and Lu Zhi's personal companion also followed silently.

The atmosphere was very delicate, and Dong Bi couldn't figure out what exactly Lu Zhi wanted to say to him.

"My nephew!"

Seeing that he was about to arrive at the Yingchun Gate, Lu Zhi finally couldn't help but said, "Actually, I'm looking for you because I have one thing to ask you for."

Note that Lu Zhi used the word 'begging'.

Dong Bi looked at Lu Zhi in astonishment, and said puzzledly: "Mr. Lu, you can say this... You are highly respected, and my nephew can't stand it. If you have any orders, just say it. As long as it is a little Nephew does what he can, and he will definitely not refuse."

Lu Zhi stopped in his tracks, as if hesitating.

After a while, he gritted his teeth as if he had made up his mind, and said softly, "Nephew, I actually know that Liu Bei is not a rebel!"

Dong Bi was startled, and suddenly remembered that Liu Bei was Lu Zhi's student.

Watching Lu Zhi warily, Dong Bi didn't speak.

Lu Zhi smiled wryly, "Nephew must have heard that Liu Bei once worshiped under my sect. I know this person very well. He likes pomp, has great ambitions, and attaches great importance to friendship. It's just that this person... well, I said it clearly. Right. Then Liu Bei was originally under my account. When I left Jizhou, he said something that shouldn’t be said. I knew he was thinking about me, so I couldn’t bear to kill him, so I drove him to Anxi County I just don't know, how did he offend my nephew?"

Dong Bi felt that the last sentence was a bit of a slap in the face.

But this old man is also quite pitiful. He is a good man, but he has no ambitions in his life.According to the Romance, he was framed by eunuchs during the Yellow Turban Rebellion, and later stayed in Luoyang, and guarded Nangong during the eunuch rebellion.

After Dong Zhuo came to Beijing, the old man retired angrily because of Dong Zhuo's abolition and establishment.

There are two students left behind, one is Gongsun Zan, who was killed by Yuan Shao when the Kanto princes were competing for the throne; and the other Liu Bei, although he succeeded later, is now carrying the name of a rebel.Now, Lu Zhi pacified the Yellow Turban Rebellion. Although he was not framed by the eunuch temple, it aroused the suspicion of the court.I'm afraid that the future will not be too good.

Dong Bi thought for a while, and felt that he should speak clearly.

After all, this is Luoyang, and Lu Zhi and Cai Yong are quite related, so it's not easy to make it too rigid.

Besides, at his age, he had to come here and speak in a low voice because of that incompetent student, which was really embarrassing for him.

At the moment, let me tell you what happened before and after.

However, Dong Bi did not take the responsibility for wronging Liu Bei, and explained: "Mr. Lu, the matter is like this. If Liu Xuande hadn't deceived me, I would not have troubled him. And I really don't know the name of this traitor. Or After arriving in Luoyang, I heard from Meng Degong that Liu Xuande was branded a traitor by Wang Fen, if you don’t believe me, you can ask.”

How did Lu Zhi ask?

With a student like this, there would be endless embarrassment. How could he have the face to ask Wang Fen?

"I see!"

But Lu Zhi came up with another thought: Wang Fen is a member of the party, and he has always been very close to Yuan Kai and others.Yuan Kai tried to woo me several times earlier, but I rejected them all.It seems that the party members must be taking revenge on me, so Xuande was implicated.

"Nephew, once you say that, I understand." Lu Zhi was a little ashamed, after all, it was his own student who ran to do that kind of looting, and it would be embarrassing to say it.But he couldn't bear to let it go, and said immediately: "It is true that Xuande did something wrong... Now that he has been punished, it can be regarded as retribution. However, I heard that his family..."

Dong Bi said readily, "I caught you!"

"Nephew, the crime is not as good as your family... I want to plead for Xuande's old mother. If you can not hand it over to the court, then don't hand it over to the court."

"Not to the court?"

Dong Bi groaned in embarrassment.In fact, he didn't intend to hand over Liu Bei's family to the court, but he hasn't made a decision yet on how to deal with it.He faintly felt that Liu Bei's family might be of use in his hands.

"Well, I can try to solve this matter, but I won't let it go. If Liu Xuande finds me in trouble, I will always have some backup. Lu Gong, I think you are also a sensible person, you should be able to Understand my difficulties. How about this, I promise not to embarrass his family, his mother, if my mother, will definitely take good care of them."

After hearing this, Lu Zhi finally felt relieved.

Xuande, I have already done everything I can do. From now on, you should take care of yourself.

After thanking Dong Bi, Lu Zhi rode on his horse and left with his relatives.

At this time, it was already sunset.

A touch of residual red reflected on Lu Zhi's body, stretching his back very long.In that back, there is a kind of sadness of a hero's belatedness, and his waist, which was originally straight, also looks a little stooped at this moment.A strand of white hair fluttered in the wind.

Dong Bi silently watched Lu Zhi go away, tried to call him several times, but didn't speak.

People, after all, have their own home!
Lu Zhi has Lu Zhi's dream, he is a good man with his own principles, I just hope he will have a good result in the future.

"Master, we now..."

"go home!"

Dong Bi calmed down, took a deep breath, and said with a smile, "Let's go home now!"

******
The house that Tang Zhou bought for Dong Pi in Luoyang was very large.

It was originally the residence of a famous family with a history of 80 to [-] years in Luoyang, but because of the Yellow Turban Rebellion, they were implicated and the whole family was executed, leaving only a large mansion empty.Due to the disaster of the original owner, no one wanted to live here, so it was abandoned.After Tang Zhou came, he felt that Dong Bi's murderous spirit was enough to deter the souls of the dead in the house, so he bought it.

It's no wonder that Luoyang has every inch of land and gold, and all the good houses have been bought, and it's too late to build new houses.

At the beginning, Tang Zhou didn't want to buy such a big house.

But who would have thought that meeting Ma Song...

Thinking of the fact that in the capital city, there are many aristocratic families, and under the wealthy families, there are even more slaves.Dong Bi was in the capital, and he had to have conflicts with others, so it's better to keep this troll as a guard.Firstly, these people have all experienced battles, and secondly, they are also loyal to Dong Bi.With these people around, even if something happens in the future, it will be enough to cover Dong Pi's retreat from Luoyang.

Therefore, when Dong Bi stood at the gate of the house, he was a little dazed.

What is Yimen?

It is what we usually call the main entrance.Because it is located on the street, it is also called Yimen.

In the Three Kingdoms era, ordinary small households were not qualified to own Yimen.That is to say, the original owner of this house has some status, so he can have such a qualification.If it is built, it will be built. It is impossible to block this door.

Moreover, Dong Bi, as a soldier of the General's Mansion, Cao Cao, enjoys a salary of three hundred shi.

His father is also the governor of Liangzhou, Marquis of Dongxiang, a former general, and he can be regarded as a member of the imperial court, his status is enough to be worthy of the Yimen.

It's just that Dong Bi feels that even the Dong Mansion in Lintao probably doesn't have such a luxurious gate.

After entering the house, one can see that there are roads connecting roads, towers, pavilions, rockery and flowing water, all of which have the air of a wealthy family.

There were three entrances to the courtyard, but the first one entered was full of twists and turns, which made Dong Bi a little confused about the path.

Dong Lu was instructing the girls from the Tiger Girl Camp to remove the furniture in the living room and replace it with the furniture that Dong Pi brought from Lintao.

One Eight Immortals table and two Taishi chairs.

On both sides of the hall, there are two rows of tables, chairs and coffee tables.

Seeing Dong Bi approaching, Dong Lu said cheerfully, "Master, look at how it's arranged, okay?"

Dong Bi didn't answer, and walked to the Eight Immortals table and sat down.

Turning around, he suddenly laughed.

"Sir, what are you laughing at?"

Dong Yu said: "It's very good, let's put it like this...By the way, how is the residence of this person allocated?"

Dong Lu said with a smile: "The houses here are so big and there are many. First, you enter the courtyard, where the trolls and the third brother's Wuxi barbarians can live."

"There are so many rooms?"

"Ma Song calculated that there are [-] rooms in the first wing room. There are three people in each room, which is enough to accommodate them... In addition, there is a large martial arts arena in the front yard, which is just right for them to practice. Tang Zhou said, it turns out that the owner of this house is a senior official in the court, and the style is really different. I think it is bigger than the house on our ranch."

Sure enough, as the saying goes, the bigger the official, the more dangers there will be!
Dong Bi sighed inwardly, and then asked, "What about the Tiger Girl Camp? How do you arrange it?"

"Tiger Girl Camp lives in the backyard. There are also many wing rooms there, and almost two people can use one room, which is more spacious than the ranch. We live in the middle, and the eldest brother and the third younger brother also live here... Well, the eldest brother said just now , planning to take over his family as well. If things go like this, there will still be a lot of empty houses, and Tang Zhou said he would buy some servants to come over."

"Don't be a slave!"

Dong Bi stood up and said, "Tell Tang Zhou, I'm going to repair this house, level up those unsightly rockery and the like. Build more martial arts arenas... From today, I want the inside of this mansion to be like a military barracks." , understand?"

"Barracks?"

Dong Lu didn't understand, but he remembered what Dong Bi said.

I thought to myself: Is it the gate of the big house?What this said is really apt.

Dong Bi walked out of the hall and stood on the steps, looking at the already half-black sky, the corners of his mouth suddenly turned up, revealing a smile.

Perhaps, this Luoyang city is not as scary as imagined.
