Hou Mansion.

"General, why don't you go and ask?" Diao Chan whispered, "A messenger came just now. What's the matter?"

Lu Bu said indifferently: "There is a unicorn guarding her, so there is no need to worry." After saying that, he picked up a strand of Diao Chan's temple hair with his fingers, moved it to her jade-like neck, and kissed her gently.

Qilin hurried over and coughed. Lu Bu said, "Do you have a letter?"

Qilin smiled and said, "I don't believe it, is it starting now?"

Lu Bu nodded and led Diao Chan to the front of the court. The sky was bright and it was an auspicious time at noon. A long table was filled with fine wine and delicacies.

Qilin said: "We eat together in prison, and we drink together."

Qilin bowed, and the golden beads given by Lu Bu slipped out of his collar, reflecting the sunlight and swaying slightly.

Diao Chan immediately changed her expression.

Qilin ignored Diao Chan, rolled up his sleeves, took the vegetable, and fed it to Lu Bu's mouth himself.

Lu Bu chewed the vegetables and lifted his skirt. The maid held Diao Chan in her arms. The couple knelt down relative to each other. Qilin came forward with the wine.

Diao Chan had a gloomy look on her face, took a sip, and put the wine glass on the plate, while Lu Bu raised his neck and drank it all.

The wine was very strong, and Lu Bu coughed a few times, and a blush appeared on his face. With the wine in his head, he took the golden bead with his fingers and rubbed it repeatedly, his expression moved slightly, as if he had something to say.

"My lord is married——" The soldiers were making a fuss outside, and they were all Lu Bu's cronies.

Lu Bu suppressed his drunken squinting eyes and said seriously: "What's next?"

Qilin said: "Tie your hair."

The maid took scissors and took a strand of hair from both of them. Qilin tied it with his own hands and tied it into a knot. Someone also brought a red lacquered wooden box and put it in the box.

There was a gurgling sound of water flowing in the courtyard, and the bamboo tube banged on the stone.

After the hair-tying ceremony was completed, Qilin took a few steps back, arched his sleeves and said with a smile: "The vicissitudes of life have made us a good match."

The soldiers each leaned on their arms, and the idlers stood outside the door. After seeing the ceremony, they laughed loudly and said, "Congratulations, general——!"

Lu Bu laughed and said: "Thank you for your good advice! Brothers are all our own people, no need to be polite, just do whatever you want!"

The court was filled with banquets, and everyone was drinking and having fun. Qilin found a table to sit at and chatted with Cai Yong. Diao Chan retreated into the inner room, while Lu Bu held the bowl alone and toasted back and forth.

There were actually no civil servants from the Han court present, and it was an agreement between Qilin and Chen Gong that all the emperor's courtiers would take one or two gifts each depending on their importance, and the generous gifts would be returned intact.

There were no wedding invitations and no guest seats. The people Lu Bu invited were only generals under his command, and all Bingzhou old military and school captains could come. The only civil servant, Cai Yong, who had a good relationship with Wang Yun, came to attend on Wang Yun's behalf.

A flowing water table was set up at the barracks in the city for the soldiers to drink. I don’t know how many people got drunk that day.

Cai Yong said with emotion: "Mr. Qilin has really understood people's hearts."

Qilin was playing with a pottery xun in his hand and said with a humble smile: "It was Brother Gongtai's idea. A gentleman is a friend but not a party. The emperor has just taken over the government. At this time, it is better to avoid suspicion. As a military general, the lord should not

He had close contacts with civil servants in the DPRK and China, and it is difficult to say how a faction or something might have arisen."

While they were talking, Lu Bu came over staggeringly carrying a wine bowl. Qilin and Cai Yong hurriedly stood up, and Lu Bu shouted: "It's full! A bowl for Master Cai!"

Cai Yong patted Lu Bu on the shoulder and said: "General, you are young and have a lot of potential. You will be very successful in the future. Your future is limitless."

Lu Bu smiled "Hi" and said, "That's that!"

Cai Yong said again: "A good man should make contributions and serve the country as his own responsibility. What did Mr. Qilin say just now..."

"Learn good martial arts and you will be able to belong to the emperor's family." Qilin said with a smile.

Cai Yong stroked his beard and just smiled without saying a word. Lu Bu stiffened his neck and said sternly: "I will never indulge... Gentle Country!"

Cai Yong smiled silently and sat down at the table with Qilin holding the bowl. Seeing Lu Bu with an arm on his shoulder, his left foot crossed with his right foot, he was teetering, fearing that he would fall at any time, so he hurriedly said: "I'll drink to you, my lord, it's up to you."

Lu Bu imitated Qilin's tone and said loudly: "No, no, I'll drink to you! It's up to you!"

Qilin saw something bad and said hurriedly: "I respect your lord..."

Lu Bu stuck out his tongue and said: "My lord, I respect you... I respect you!"

Several tables were booing loudly and laughing like thunder.

Qilin smiled and said: "After drinking, my lord, please rest. We are all our own soldiers, and those who come and greet us are cheating to drink..." As soon as he brought the wine bowl to his lips, Lu Bu had already downed the whole bowl of strong wine.

Lu Bu's eyes were red, he nodded, without saying a word, and said with a big tongue: "Little, boy... Lord Hou... come... come..."

Lu Bu reached out to hug Qilin, as if he wanted to show his affection. Qilin saw that the door to the new house was ajar and hurriedly avoided it.

Lu Bu took advantage of this and became angry: "You... are disobedient!"

Qilin: "..."

Lu Bu leaned sideways and knocked over half of the table, causing it to fall over.

The whole courtyard was filled with laughter that almost brought down the roof. The soldiers were all laughing so hard that they couldn't stand upright. Qilin said: "Someone, help the lord in. It's getting late. If you've had enough to drink, get out."

Gao Shun said: "Whoever knocks it down is the one who cleans it up."

Zhang Liao was also quite drunk, and he echoed loudly: "That's right, it's your turn after all."

Qilin's face turned red and he said: "I will punish you with military law!"

All the generals laughed again, but no one came to stop him. Qilin had no choice but to admit it, half-hugged Lu Bu, and dragged him staggeringly into the new house.

Lu Bu's long legs were dragged on the ground. Qilin was almost crushed by this guy, and finally crashed into the bridal chamber. He let out a long sigh. Lu Bu was drunk as mud, and fell on the couch, motionless.

Diao Chan was picking her hairpin in front of the mirror behind the screen and said calmly: "Falled?"

Qilin smiled and said: "It's down. He's as tall as a child."

Diao Chan paused for a moment and was about to say something, but she caught a glimpse of Qilin in the gap between the screen and reaching out to untie Lu Bu's pheasant tail crest, and then loosened the lace in front of the collar of his shirt.

Diao Chan couldn't sit still, so she threw Chai'er on the plate, stood up and said, "I'll do it."

Qilin whispered: "I'll come."

There was no trace of joy or anger on Diao Chan's pretty face, and she said, "I'm sorry to bother you, Qilin. I'll leave it to me to serve you from now on."

Qilin knelt on one knee in front of the couch, unmoved: "I will leave tomorrow. I have chosen a house and have to move out. Tonight is also the last time. From now on, I will leave everything to my wife."

Diao Chan didn't answer. Qilin took off all of Lu Bu's armor and took off his iron boots. Lu Bu suddenly said: "Why are you leaving...don't, don't leave!"

Lu Bu turned over and pressed Qilin on the couch with a squeaking sound.

Qilin: "..."

Diao Chan came up to pull and said angrily: "General!"

Qilin pushed Lu Bu away with all his strength, but he was already smelling of alcohol. He smiled and said, "My lord, I must have mistaken you. A moment of spring is worth a thousand pieces of gold, so don't waste it."

Bi Qilin then opened the door, bowed to Lu Bu on the couch and Diao Chan who was sitting quietly beside him, turned around and left.

When it was time to light the lamp, Emperor Xian sent the palace deacon to announce the decree. The palace was in a mess. Gao Shun led the generals to thank him and said that Lu Bu had rested.

The people sent by Emperor Xian saw clearly that there were no civil servants at the banquet, so they returned to the palace to report back, but Qilin guessed it correctly.

Qilin took the initiative and scattered the food that Liu Xie had given Lu Bu, and sent it to the homes of the generals at the banquet, and distributed it to their wives and children. Everyone was drunk, and those who could move were moved away, while those who couldn't were sent to sleep on stone benches in the garden.

Under the rockery, I finally cleaned up the mess, then returned to the room to tidy up my things.

Qilin didn't have much at all, so he packed up a parcel and carried it in his arms. When he left the courtyard, he saw drunken and sleeping generals of the Bingzhou Army everywhere.

Qilin leaned in front of the courtyard pillar, feeling homesick and recalling the world before him.

It was a paradise land, with flowers all over the mountains and fields, and the people living and working in peace and contentment. It was completely different from this era of drought, where all living beings were in danger and had no food to eat.

"It's only been a few months, why does it feel like so long has passed?" Qilin said softly.

He took out a pottery xun from the package and started playing it leisurely. In an instant, the moon shone thousands of miles away, everything was silent, and the sound of the xun floated in the night sky.

"I've never heard it before, what song is it?" Lu Bu's voice sounded from behind.

Qilin stopped talking and replied: "Yue Qian Shang, Grand Master taught me."

Lu Bu's upper body was bare-chested, and he was wearing a pair of white silk trousers loosely. His feet were bare. He seemed to have just woken up and was attracted by the music.

Lu Bu sighed and said, "It's so sad that you can't take a picture of Hu Jia Eighteen?"

Qilin replied: "One blow of Hu Jia Shiba will wake up all the dead people in the yard."

Lu Bu took a Qiang flute and tuned it.

Qilin understood, and played the song "War before the Moon" again.

Qilin was sitting in front of the corridor, while Lu Bu stood with his tall body, his shadow cast on the window. The flute whirred for a moment, and actually followed Qilin's tune that he had never heard before. They seemed to be in tune with each other, and the flute and xun played together, which was heart-stirring.

After the song was finished, Lu Bu ordered: "There is also a piano called Jiaowei, which is a gift from Cai Yong. Since you like to play with music, take it with you. The Marquis will reward you."

Qilin said: "No, if you carry a piano with you, it will be inconvenient to walk in the future."

Lu Bu's eyebrows moved slightly, and Qilin smiled and said, "Aren't you going to accompany your wife?"

Lu Bu said indifferently: "How can I accompany you? The marriage has been completed, but that's it."

Qilin mocked: "The bridal chamber...that, what's that?"

Lu Bu: "?"

Qilin laughed: "Go, go and accompany her."
