Rebirth of the God of War Lu Bu

Chapter 65: Getting to know Mi Zhu

"No one is allowed to come in without my permission," the middle-aged man ordered.

After the servants left, he bowed and said, "Mi Zhu, courtesy name Zizhong, pays my respects to Mr. Lu."

Dian Wei stood up suddenly, unsheathed the long sword at his waist, and stared at Mi Zhu.

"Oh, how did you recognize me?" Lu Bu asked curiously. From the other person's tone, he saw no malice.

"In the restaurant, there are soldiers from Taozhou Mu who once attacked Dong Zhuo. I met you by chance. There was some misunderstanding in the shop a few days ago. I would like to apologize to you." Mi Zhu's attitude was neither humble nor arrogant, and he was not at all dissatisfied by Dian Wei, who was watching eagerly from the side.

move.

"But Mi Zhu of Xuzhou?" Lu Bu asked.

"Exactly." Numerous questions flashed through Mi Zhu's mind. He didn't think that the dignified Bingzhou Mu would know a businessman from Xuzhou, although his status in Xuzhou was not low.

"I have admired you for a long time." Lu Bu said with cupped hands.

"You're welcome, sir. I have just arrived in Chang'an. I didn't expect to hear from people in the restaurant that I saw you. Your Excellency must have something important to go to Chang'an. It's not convenient for me to contact you. I didn't expect you to come to our store today." Mi Zhu has been doing business for many years.

Having met all kinds of people, I naturally understand what to say and what not to say.

"Brother Zizhong, please take a seat." Lu Bu suddenly thought of the many books in Cai Yong's study. With Cai Yong's character of loving books as much as his life, he definitely didn't want to abandon them. Mi Zhu in front of him might be able to help him.

Besides, books are not something you can just have if you want them. Many people regard them as treasures and will not allow them to be lent to others. If you want to print books, you need to have the originals. If the books in Cai Yong's study were brought to Jinyang

, which saves a lot of trouble.

"Thank you, sir." Mi Zhu said respectfully.

"Brother Zizhong, you don't have to be polite. I have something to trouble Zizhong. I wonder if it's convenient?" Lu Bu said with a smile.

"My lord, please speak out, but I will do my best."

"My master wants to go to Bingzhou, but it is inconvenient to transport the books at home. I wonder if Zizhong can do it for me and transport them to Jinyang?"

Mi Zhu thought for a moment, nodded and said, "Okay."

"Okay, brother Zizhong is indeed very happy. I can rest assured about the reward, and although Bingzhou is poor, I still have this little money." Seeing that Cai Yong's problem was solved, Lu Bu felt a little happy.

"Sir, I have a heartfelt request." Mi Zhu stood up and cupped his hands.

"Brother Zizhong, just say it." Lu Bu picked up a glass of wine and drank it all in one gulp.

"There are few horses in the Central Plains, but there are many war horses in Bingzhou, don't you know?" Mi Zhu asked tentatively. After all, Lu Bu is a state shepherd, with hundreds of thousands of lives and deaths in his hands. He is the lowest level businessman. Although he has some status in Xuzhou, he is not among the princes.

In my eyes, it was worthless, so I had to be careful.

"I understand what Zizhong means." Lu Bu thought for a moment and then said: "It's a long way from Chang'an to Jinyang, so I gave Zizhong five hundred horses."

Lu Bu was also very happy to see Mi Zhu. He was a famous businessman in history and was related to Liu Bei. If he could win over him, it would definitely be a big help.

Five hundred war horses may be a large number for the princes of the Central Plains, and the Bingzhou Army eliminated more than this number of war horses.

"My lord, I misunderstood. What I meant was that I paid for it." Mi Zhu said with a smile.

"Buy it?" Lu Bu thought for a moment, then understood Mi Zhu's intention, and said with a smile, "Okay."

Mi Zhu's face was filled with joy. He came to see Lu Bu today. It was precisely because of this matter that trafficking in war horses made a lot of money. Many merchants were eyeing this piece of fat meat. It was not Gongsun Zan who had the final say in Youzhou, nor Ma Teng in Liangzhou.

The head of the family, but the Bingzhou Shepherd is Lu Bu. As long as we have a good relationship with him, why not worry about not having a war horse? The strength of the Mi family will definitely improve even more.

"Thank you, sir. I heard that the price your sir sold the war horse to Sun Taishou was forty shi of grain." Mi Zhu began to negotiate the price.

Lu Bu felt a little unhappy when he mentioned this matter. He said that Sun Jian returned to Jiangdong and stole the jade seal, but did not pay back the money for the war horses. "It's only five thousand yuan for each war horse, but I only want food and grass."

Mi Zhu naturally knew the price and details of the transaction between Lu Bu and Sun Jian. As a businessman, he had his own channels to inquire about the news. "Just what the Lord said."

But when Mi Zhu learned that Lu Bu's teacher turned out to be the great scholar Cai Yong, he was shocked and at the same time understood why Lu Bu agreed so readily. Cai Yong went to Bingzhou, which was nothing short of a big shock to Chang'an.

After learning the news, Mi Zhu did not dare to neglect. He had quite a lot of connections in Chang'an, so he could still transport things out of the city as long as he took care of things.

There is a shortage of good horses in the Central Plains, but horses from Bingzhou are still quite popular. As long as they are operated properly, the profits can be considerable.

Not long after Mi Zhu left, Guan Yu rushed over with the city gate captain. This guy looked excited and his face was red. He seemed very excited to be able to work under Lu Bu.

The Chengmen Colonel is not a high-ranking official in Chang'an City, but he does have real power in his hands. He will not bow down to the people of the Cai Mansion. His tone is rather plain, "Wang Fang, the Colonel of the Lower City Gate, may I ask who you are?"

"Wang Xiaowei, I am Qiao Bu, a distant relative of Mr. Cai Yong. Mr. Cai may have to go out of the city to visit friends in the past two days. When passing the city gate, he will inevitably encounter interrogations. Mr. Cai is old and cannot withstand the trouble.

, I have made my own decision, and I sincerely request Colonel Wang..."

Wang Fang interrupted Lu Bu's words, "Don't worry, Mr. Cai is highly virtuous and respected. We will definitely not be in trouble. It's just that there are many nightclubs in Chang'an City. The Prime Minister has ordered that those entering and leaving the city gates will be strictly investigated."

Lu Bu understood what Wang Fang meant and nodded to Dian Wei. Dian Wei stepped forward and placed some gold on the table.

"Some common things, let's express our feelings and buy some wine for the brothers." Lu Bu said with a smile.

"How can this be so?" Even so, Wang Fang put the gold away with his eyes shining.

"Your Excellency is also considering Master Cai. As the captain of the city gate, I should take good care of Master Cai." Wang Fang said with a smile.

Lu Bu breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the matter was done. As the saying goes, the king of hell is easy to mess with and the devil is difficult to deal with. If you bribe the captain of the city gate, you will have greater confidence in leaving the city.

As expected, Wang Fang was a veteran in the army. He had long known that the wine in this restaurant was expensive, and he quickly drank it up.

"Master Qiao, you see that this little man has made a great contribution, shouldn't he be reused?" Guan Yu shamelessly approached.

"Guan Yu, let me ask you, what do you know?" Lu Bu turned his attention to Guan Yu.

"I know a lot. When I mount a horse, I can become a general, and when I dismount, I can become an official."

Looking at Guan Yu's smug expression, Lu Bu sweated. How could there be such a joke in ancient times? It was so narcissistic. Even his name might have been changed by Guan Yu after he became famous. "Tell me more about it."

Knows everything."
