Chapter 524: Saving People

The first envoy was Li Ru, a strategist under Dong Zhuo. Bai Lang would not kill him because he was holding the imperial decree. "Appoint me as the General of the Xiongnu? A fourth-rank miscellaneous general, and recognized my Xihe Administrator. Dong Zhuo is willing." Bai Lang took the decree and said. Li Ru stepped forward, "This position is just to reward the general for breaking the Xiongnu. If the general is willing to join the Prime Minister, the four conquest generals can be chosen, the Yulin General, and the Marquis of Guannei."

Bai Lang looked at this strategist of Dong Zhuo, "The price is so high. If it were Lu Bu, he would be a Marquis of the County. My foot combat is still above Wenhou, but it is a Marquis of Guannei. Hahahaha, I'm afraid it is far more valuable to call Dong Zhuo a foster father than the so-called martial bravery. Go, the imperial court appointed me as Xihe Administrator, I accepted the General of the Xiongnu, as for what Dong Zhuo gave? He can keep it himself!" Bai Lang took the decree and was considered to have sent Li Ru away peacefully—it was not good to kill the representative of the imperial court.

After Li Ru left, CaoCao's envoy Chen Gong came. He came here to send CaoCao's letter, so he sat down and said a few words. Bai Lang wrote back and left. "Cao Gong is here to build a relationship... Now Cao Gong is busy with Yanzhou. After Governor Liu died, he just took the name of pacifying the Yellow Turbans to occupy Yanzhou." Bai Lang's reply was also quite simple, reviewing the scene of everyone's first meeting, pulling a common ambition to crusade against Dong, and then nothing.

Bai Lang's martial arts were divine, so the words written under his control were naturally good. The third envoy was Jian Yong, whom Bai Lang knew, and of course, he was LiuBei's iron brother. This one bowed, "Congratulations to the General for breaking the Xiongnu." Bai Lang asked with a smile, "I don't know why Xuande sent Wenhe here? Is it to send a gift?" Jian Yong also laughed, "Where does Xuande have money to send you? It's just that I was sent to congratulate Yuzhu on his merit."

The two also talked and laughed for half a day. Bai Lang kept Jian Yong for dinner. At this time, a junior officer ran over. "There is an angel sending a decree saying that the chaotic thief Dong Zhuo has been beheaded." Bai Lang looked at Jian Yong, "Is this Dong Taishi pacified?" He took the decree and saw that it was the work of Wang Taishi. Lu Bu killed a foster father again... "Killing two fathers by one person, this..." Bai Lang also laughed, "It seems that Wenhou's bad name has spread since then."

Killing a foster father was not a thing in Bai Lang's view. Anyway, he couldn't worship a foster father. "There is no decent person who worships a foster father." He thought, "If Dong Zhuo dies, the world might be peaceful." Bai Lang said what he didn't believe at all, and Jian Yong immediately proposed to leave. He had to return to LiuBei. Bai Lang sent Jian Yong away, but didn't see Li Ru run back to ask for help. "I thought Li Ru would hear that Dong Zhuo was killed and run back to join me. Now I think this is impossible."

Li Ru knew that Dong Zhuo was dead, so it was the best policy to hide his name and run back to his hometown in Xiliang. Join Bai Lang? How dare he join a loyal and righteous person like Bai Lang? Aren't you afraid that Bai Lang will tie him up to Chang'an and bring him to justice? Bai Lang heard that Dong Zhuo was dead, and also shouted to gather the guards. He was ready to go to Chang'an to see the Son of Heaven. He hadn't seen the Son of Heaven or entered Luoyang that hadn't been burned yet. Now he was ready to go to Chang'an to see.

After pacifying the Southern Xiongnu, Bai Lang had quite a few horses here. Unfortunately, there were no so-called famous horses. The best was Snowflake Green. It was true that there were no good horses like Red Rabbit. Bai Lang led twelve guard cavalry and dozens of horses and left. With multiple horses taking turns riding, it was a thousand miles from Xihe to Chang'an. Bai Lang walked the Taiyuan Road and arrived in Chang'an in five days. Dong Zhuo was dead, and no one in Tongguan dared to stop Bai Lang, so he saw Chang'an on this day.

Bai Lang entered the court. The first thing he heard was that Cai Yong was imprisoned. He hadn't had time to notify the court that Xihe Administrator and General of the Xiongnu Bai Lang had arrived. He heard this news first, so he didn't get off the saddle and didn't stop the horse, and rushed directly into the prison. How could the jailer stop Bai Lang? He was pushed aside by the guards under his hand, "Which one is Cai Yong?" Bai Lang's voice could be said to be extremely rude, but someone in the prison pointed, "This is Cai Shizhong."

Bai Lang pulled out his iron mace, directly smashed the prison door, reached out and pulled Cai Yong out. "Cai Shizhong, I am Bai Lang Bai Yuzhu. I have long heard of Shizhong's great name. Why were you sent to prison after Dong thief died?" While speaking, Bai Lang took Cai Yong out of the prison. At this time, a pile of troops surrounded him from the outside. Bai Lang was a general, and his height was too tall, "I am Xihe Administrator and General of the Xiongnu Bai Lang, what do you want?"

At this time, a big man came from outside, his height was far beyond ordinary people, and he rode a Sifeng Red Rabbit horse. It turned out to be Lu Bu. "Wenhou." Bai Lang didn't mount his horse. He just looked up slightly at Lu Bu in front of him, and the iron spear in his hand spun around. "Why did Wang Situ imprison Cai Shizhong?" Bai Lang also asked, "Shizhong is a talented scholar known to the world. I don't know what crime Wang Situ judged him?"

Lu Bu was also a master of ceremonies, not a rude and uneducated person. He was also quite difficult. The rank of this person was below him, but his martial bravery was not inferior to Lu Bu's own. Moreover, he also felt that Wang Situ was a little bit like that... "For crying for Dong Zhuo." Lu Bu squeezed out this sentence after a long time. "Just crying for a dead Dong Zhuo, Wang Situ wants to imprison Cai Shizhong? I see this, I'm afraid he will be killed in prison?"

At this time, court ministers had also arrived, among them the Grand Tutor Ma Ridi. This man was an old friend of Cai Yong, and he immediately took over from Cai Yong, explaining the arguments in the hall one by one. "In the past, Emperor Wu did not kill Sima Qian, later allowing him to write history, which led to slanderous books being passed down to later generations. Now the national fortune is waning and the court administration is in chaos; we must not let sycophants hold the brush beside the young master, causing us to suffer their ridicule." Bai Lang repeated this statement by Minister Wang Yun, "This Minister Wang is truly unable to tolerate others. Attendant Cai, I see that you probably cannot stay in this court any longer. This Minister Wang is stubborn and self-willed, and I do not know what the future holds. You should follow me; it will not be too late to serve as an official after the court administration is peaceful again."

Bai Lang had already made up his mind. Even if he raised the whole army, he wouldn't be the opponent of the entire Xiliang army. After that, Wang Yun would refuse to pardon those Xiliang generals, and then Jia Xu Jia Wenhe would come to a Wenhe chaos... That is, the two great fierce generals of the world charged together, I'm afraid they couldn't stop the desperate counterattack of the Xiliang army.

Bai Lang had made up his mind. He didn't go to see the Son of Heaven, and directly took Cai Yong home. Cai Yong's family had quite a lot of books, and there was a widowed daughter Cai Yan Cai Wenji. Bai Lang asked Cai Yong to talk to his daughter, and he ordered the guards to throw all the books on the car, and then take them away. So many books could only go by water to Taiyuan. And Bai Lang directly collected a few carriages.

"Cai Shizhong, you and your daughter sit in this carriage and carry the fine soft goods, I will arrange for my subordinates to take the books by water to Taiyuan." Bai Lang himself guarded Cai Yong's family of dozens of people out of Tongguan, Chang'an, and then went north. "I will take a trip and send Cai Shizhong's family back to their hometown in Yu County, Chenliu, how about it?" Bai Lang said. ===== CHAPTER 525 =====
