Lu Bu’s Life Simulator

Chapter 172: Concealing the truth

"General, Shi Sunrui left Zheng Tai's residence. Do you want to arrest Zheng Tai immediately?" A soldier came in from Chang'an City Guard General's Mansion and bowed to Xu Rong who was reading the military book.

"No need." Xu Rong put down the bamboo slips, shook his head and said, "Send people to monitor these people day and night. Don't make any omissions!"

"Here!" The soldier bowed and accepted the order, then turned and left.

"General, why don't you arrest all these people?" Where Xu Rong started, Hua Xiong looked at Xu Rong with a puzzled look on his face.

"They are all celebrities in the court. How can they be arrested at will without conclusive evidence?" Xu Rong glanced at him. This matter was not as simple as arresting people.

"Evidence!?" Hua Xiong looked at Xu Rong in shock.

"Anyway, don't try to alert the enemy!" Xu Rong said with a headache: "If these people want to cause trouble, they need enough troops. If you don't lure these people out, what's the use of arresting more people?"

"Just say it!" Hua Xiong was a little dissatisfied. Just say no to him for this kind of thing. It's not that he doesn't understand.

Xu Rong glanced at him and said nothing.

"The young man just now looked quite aura, and his accent sounded like he was from Bingzhou?" Hua Xiong asked, looking in the direction where the soldier left just now.

The terrain in Bingzhou is complex. Generally speaking, the more complex the terrain, the harder it is to unify the local accent. This is the case in Bingzhou. It sounds similar, but I can't be sure.

"Hao Zhao is from Taiyuan. He joined the army not long ago. He is indeed quite smart." Xu Rong nodded and smiled.

This Hao Zhao was selected by him from the Imperial Guard. Although he had joined the army not long ago, he was calm in situations and had some potential as a general. He was sent by Xu Rong to lead the scout team.

Not just anyone can be a scout. Not only must they be skilled in martial arts, but they must also be proficient in various military flags and be able to judge the number of enemies through various methods!

In short, those who can become scouts are basically elites in the army, and those who can command scouts are trained as generals!

This time, in order to grasp the trends in Chang'an in time, Xu Rongcai selected elite scouts like Hao Zhao to investigate the whereabouts of those important figures!

Zheng Tai and Shi Sun Rui, who were active around Wang Yun at the beginning, were robbed by Wang Yun and escaped disaster because of their merits. However, if they say that they have nothing to do with Dong Zhuo's incident, I am afraid no one will believe it.

But Xu Rong also believed that the two of them could not accomplish anything, so Xu Rong wanted to use these two to put a long-term plan and catch big fish!

"I think this boy is quite intelligent. It's a pity to be a scout. Why don't you come under my command? I happen to be short of a military prince. What do you think?" Hua Xiong asked casually.

He sees people based on his eyesight. Although Hao Zhao is young and is not the kind of person who can see people at a glance among the crowd, he just begs for them if he finds them pleasing to the eye.

"It's rare that you can take a fancy to him. When this happens, just let him go to your command." Xu Rong thought for a while and agreed. All the general positions under him were full. Although Hao Zhao is a good young man, but For the time being, he could only serve as a scout leader if he stayed here. Since Hua Xiong was willing to give him a military position, he was happy for Hao Zhao.

"Then it's settled." Hua Xiong said with a satisfied smile.

"By the way, when do you think these people will take action?" After a moment of silence, Hua Xiong asked again.

"Soldiers are valuable and quick. If I were them, I should quickly gather troops and seize Chang'an after my lord leaves Chang'an. Only in this way can I have a chance of winning!" Xu Rong said with a smile.

"This kind of thing doesn't require careful preparation?" Hua Xiong said in astonishment.

In general, shouldn’t rebellion be something that should be considered carefully before taking action?

"The entire Guanzhong is ruled by the Lord. The longer the matter is discussed, the more likely it is to be exposed." Xu Rong said calmly.

The same principle does not apply everywhere. At least at this moment, these people are short of time. The best way is to gather together people and seize Chang'an immediately!

And this is also the reason why Xu Rong is more concerned about it. If this thing doesn't happen, it will be earth-shattering. He doesn't dare to be careless!

At first Hua Xiong didn't realize what was happening, but when he heard this, he suddenly felt bad and looked at Xu Rong with a frown and said, "Is this what we're going to do? Don't do anything!?"

Xu Rong shook his head: "There is something that needs to be arranged in advance!"

Hua Xiong was relieved when he heard this: "What's the matter? I'll do it!"

At this critical juncture, when you don't even know who the enemy is, it's better to do something than wait.

"Go find some women, preferably maids from the mansion, to avoid leaking the news!" Xu Rong thought.

Hua Xiong: "..."

Xu Rong frowned and looked at Hua Xiong: "Why don't you go quickly!?"

"How long has it been and you are still thinking about women?" Hua Xiong looked at Xu Rong angrily.

"I'm too lazy to explain to you, are you going or not?" Xu Rong said impatiently.

Lu Bu had already issued an order when he left. In his absence, Xu Rong would be in charge of all military affairs in Guanzhong. Although Hua Xiong was not angry with Xu Rong for finding a woman at this time, he still had to listen to him.

He stood up with a look of reluctance, hesitated for a moment and frowned, "How about a substitute in Chunmanlou? How good is a maid?"

"Clean!" Veins popped up on Xu Rong's forehead. He suddenly regretted it. What skills could Hao Zhao really learn from Hua Xiong?

"I know, you've already gone to find a woman, do you still care about this?" Hua Xiong glanced at Xu Rong disdainfully, and seeing that Xu Rong was about to run away, he quickly stood up and left.

Looking at Hua Xiong's leaving figure, Xu Rong rubbed his temples with a headache. How did this reckless man lead the day?

Although Hua Xiong was a bit unreliable, he was extremely efficient and quickly brought several maids over.

These maids were obviously chosen carefully, and all of them are beautiful.

After giving Hua Xiong a deep look, Xu Rong didn't say anything. He ordered the two tallest maids and said, "You two go and change your clothes."

Although the maid didn't know why, she obviously talked less than Hua Xiong. After agreeing, she turned around and went to change clothes.

Hua Xiong didn’t understand.

"After dark, you and I will change and go to the lord's house to meet the mistress." Xu Rong pointed to the women's clothes that were changed and looked at Hua Xiong.

"Me...?!!!" Hua Xiong pointed to the women's clothing, then pointed to his nose, looking at Xu Rong in disbelief.

Seeing Xu Rong nod calmly, Hua Xiong's voice suddenly rose: "Why!?"

"Chang'an City seems to be peaceful now, but in fact there is an undercurrent. Once they take action, the thieves may first go to the lord's house to take the lord's family members as hostages. Therefore, the mistress needs to be taken out first." Xu Rong said calmly.

"You can just send someone to pick her up, or even lead my troops to pick her up. Why... do this!?" Hua Xiong resisted and looked at the woman's clothes on the case.

"In Chang'an City, there are spies from aristocratic families everywhere. If you pick him up directly, but in a different place, and still in front of them, this is the best way!" Xu Rong said calmly.

"That's it. You can go alone, why do you and I need to go together?" Hua Xiong was still very resistant.

"Originally, I was planning to go alone, but you want to make trouble, so you and I can do it together!" Xu Rong looked at Hua Xiong and said.

Hua Xiong suddenly wanted to slap himself twice.

Xu Rong threw him a woman's clothes: "It's getting dark, hurry up and get ready."

"No!" Hua Xiong frowned, only a ghost would be willing to dress up like this.

"Do you think you have a way out when you see me like this?" Xu Rong took two steps closer to Hua Xiong and threatened him: "You'd better hurry up, otherwise if Mistress and the others fall asleep, you and I will be waiting in these clothes. One night!”

Although Lu Bu didn't say it explicitly, looking at the past, Lu Bu cared about the safety of his family the most. Even if Lu Bu didn't mention it, Xu Rong would naturally not neglect the safety of the Lu family!

In Chang'an City at the beginning of the lanterns, high walls separated the entire Chang'an City into a cold and forbidding city.

After Lu Bu left, Chang'an City implemented a curfew. No one was allowed to walk on the streets without a warrant issued by Xu Rong. There was almost no one in the entire Chang'an City at night except for patrolling city guards. Walking in the streets and alleys was like falling into a ghost land. !

A team of maids walking on the street in this night seemed a bit out of place, especially when two tall maids, who were much taller than ordinary men, were hidden among them.

Naturally, some people wanted to come forward to question him, but the token in his hand made all the patrols retreat obediently, without any dissatisfaction.

When they arrived at the Lu Mansion, the group of maids visited Yan. When they recognized Xu Rong and Hua Xiong, Yan was stunned.

"General, this is..."

"I have disturbed Madam, please forgive me!" Hua Xiong wanted to crawl into the cracks of the ground. Xu Rong was indeed calm and calm, and bowed to Mrs. Yan: "But the situation is urgent."

At the moment, Xu Rong told the story that a war might break out in Chang'an City at any time and that Lu Bu's family was likely to become the primary target of those people's attacks.

"The general wants to lure out the thief and eliminate future troubles for the lord, but he doesn't dare to let the mistress suffer any harm, so he can only resort to this trick. I hope the mistress will forgive me for being frightened!" Xu Rong finished speaking and said to her. Yan gave a courtesy.

"General, he is thinking about my family, the Lu family. How can you blame me?" Yan quickly stretched out her hand to help the two of them get up, and then summoned Wang Yi, Diao Chan and Lu Lingqi.

After briefly explaining the matter to the three girls, Yan took her daughter, Diao Chan, and Wang Yi to bow to Xu Rong and Hua Xiong.

"Mother, how could this happen!?" Xu Rong and Hua Xiong were shocked and quickly stepped aside to avoid it.

"The two generals are willing to accept this great humiliation in order to protect my family, the Lu family. A mere courtesy is not worth the grievances the two generals have suffered. As women, they can't make any promises to the two generals. They can only express their gratitude with a courtesy. Thank you!" Mrs. Yan bowed down again with her daughter and two concubines.

"Madam, you are serious." Xu Rong did not evade this time, but returned the gesture.

At that moment, Mrs. Yan took Wang Yi and Diao Chan to change their maid's clothes, but what if they could become the maid Lu Lingqi?

The heaviest thing, Xu Rong had people prepare a box filled with silk and satin, and used it as a gift box to take Lu Lingqi out. Xu Rong and Hua Xiong happened to be carrying it. Lu Lingqi was also well-behaved and kept silent along the way. In this way, Lu Bu's family was surrounded by mysterious things. He was transferred out of Lu Mansion unconsciously.

From then on, Xu Rong had no weakness, except that Hua Xiong did not appear in front of everyone for the next few days...
