Qilin's hair was wet. He sat in front of the court, his face clear and motionless.

"Say." Qilin said, "I want a cup of tea by the way. I'm thirsty just after washing up."

The maid carried the pot and cup, and poured a line of hot water.

Qilin's hair had been cut since Jiangdong and had grown quite a bit, close to the long hair of men in this era. However, after bathing, his hair was not pulled back, and his black hair was loose, and he was wrapped in a blue silk dress. From a distance, it looked like this

Women are average.

Diao Chan said: "You took me out of Xiaopei. I appreciate your kindness. I never had the chance to talk to you properly."

Qilin mumbled, "Should I? I share my worries with the Lord."

Diao Chan flicked her sleeves, clasped her hands in front of her lower abdomen, and said softly: "Fengxian started his family in Jiuyuan, traveled to Luoyang, Chang'an, and ended up in Longxi today. Tracing back to its roots, you are indispensable.

"

Qilin said: "I don't dare."

Diao Chan: "The strategist is extremely intelligent and can anticipate the enemy's opportunities. An ordinary person can think of one move, but the strategist can think of ten moves, a hundred moves, or even how to decide the outcome in one plate. He is confident. Can the strategist predict what I am thinking today?"

"

Qilin smiled and shook his head.

Diao Chan sighed leisurely: "Fengxian favors you, General Gao protects you, General Zhang admires you, Yi Ying's old subordinates bow to you, Chen Gongtai was recommended by you, Gan Xingba, Jia Wenhe was asked to surrender."

"Everyone in the Marquis's command admires you so much. Even the soldiers in the palace say that as long as you are here, as long as Feng Xian wants to capture these thousands of miles of land, you will one day be able to capture him."

Come over here."

Qilin nodded and said, "Yes, I am still a heartthrob. Even Red Rabbit likes me."

Diao Chan said: "That's right, so as a mistress, if you can't bear to give in, you may be a coward waiting to be discredited. If I protect you for one day, I will be the target of thousands of people. You just have to

He knows that there is a big event in the country, and he is fighting in the north and south, but he doesn't care about us women at all."

Zhang Liao heard that Lu Bu had returned to the city, so he put down what he was doing in the afternoon and returned to the mansion to report. When he walked to the front yard, he suddenly saw a woman in front of the hall, Diao Chan, with a bad look on her face, sitting in the middle, and frowned.

Zhang Liao cupped his hands and said, "The last general wants to see my lord."

Diao Chan said: "My lord has just gone to sleep. I will call you when you wake up. General Zhang, please come back first."

Zhang Liao was extremely puzzled and asked: "Whose girl is this?"

Diao Chan frowned and said, "Are you brave, are all your generals rebelling? Do you also want to take care of the Marquis's family affairs?"

Qilin smiled and said, "Wenyuan, please go back first. I have something to say to my mistress."

Only then did Zhang Liao realize that it was Qilin. The more he thought about it, the more wrong he became. Then, regardless of Diao Chan's expression, he walked into the hall and sat cross-legged on his desk, with his fists resting on his knees.

"My lord has ordered that General Mo and General Gao will take care of the military advisor. The military advisor is young and cannot be bullied in the slightest." Zhang Liao did not look at Diao Chan, only staring at Qilin.

Qilin couldn't laugh or cry: "It's okay, just chat casually, go about your business, and leave me alone."

Zhang Liao remained motionless.

Diao Chan said: "That's alright, since that's the case, let's talk about it and let you learn how to speak."

Zhang Liao said angrily: "What are you talking about? Do you look like a mistress?"

Diao Chan's pretty face held a powerful look, her almond-shaped eyes widened: "You also know how to call your mistress?!"

"I am not a lady from a famous family. When Wang Situ adopted me as his adopted daughter, I was just a maidservant! I came from a humble background! I relied on my beauty to charm the Marquis. In your eyes, I am just an outsider anyway, right?

?!"

Diao Chan stood up suddenly and scolded: "I don't understand what Dong Wan and Cai Yan are doing. I'll tell you straight now..."

Qilin scolded coldly: "You should have said it straight away, you are bluffing."

The hall was quiet except for Diao Chan's breathing. After a long time, she regained her composure.

"Since Fengxian loves you and loves you, even though he is a man, you still fall in love with him... It's just a sin, so he takes the title of my concubine. How should I serve you? You know how to serve me. But you must be clear, I

She is the mistress!”

Qilin laughed instantly.

Diao Chan: "You..."

"After listening for a long time, it turned out that I was talking about this ridiculous thing." Qilin lazily stood up and waved his hands: "Don't worry, I won't touch a finger of yours again."

Diao Chan's face was gloomy, as if she couldn't decide how to answer, and she didn't know if Qilin had another trick up his sleeve, waiting to trick her.

Diao Chan finally said: "I can't fight you. I'm not as scheming as you, and I'm not as popular as you. If you push me to a dead end, I will die. When I married Prime Minister Dong, if you hadn't stopped me, I would have waited.

Be successful first, and then die."

"Now it's just a few years too late to die, it doesn't make much difference. If you fight to the death, even if you fight to the death, I will never let you go!"

"What does my lord's execution of Dong's thief have to do with you!" Zhang Liao finally couldn't hold himself back and shouted: "Who do you think you are?!"

Qilin said: "Wenyuan."

Qilin was quiet for a moment and smiled: "I don't have much time to waste on you; I don't want to spend it with you, not because I am afraid of you."

Diao Chan said coldly: "I'm not afraid of you either."

Qilin nodded and said: "I know you are not afraid, just say it casually, not to mention..."

Qilin turned around and left the hall, and Zhang Liao chased after him.

"I won't be a concubine either." Qilin said seriously.

Since Diao Chan is not afraid of being exposed, the servants in the house must work harder to fulfill her wish.

Moreover, Zhang Liao was so angry that he just wanted to vent his anger for Qilin, so he went to find Gao Shun. Gao Shun went to find Chen Gong. Chen Gong went to Jia Xu for discussion. When Jia Xu was picking up girls, he casually told Cai Wenji, who had just arrived... in less than three days.

, everyone in the Hou Mansion, from the stewards to the soldiers, the servants who guard the door and beat the dogs, and the maids who pour tea and water, all know...

...Everyone knows it, except Lu Bu himself.

From "The lord and the military advisor had an affair with each other", to "The lord and the military advisor slept together" to "The military advisor is pregnant with the lord's son" to "The military advisor was kicked by the mistress and had a miscarriage" to "The lord is pregnant with the military advisor's son"

"And then to "The lord was kicked by the mistress and gave birth to a miscarriage"...

The truth that finally came back to Qilin's ears was: "The military advisor is the lord's son, and the lord was pregnant with the military advisor's son, so the lord was kicked by the mistress and gave birth to a miscarriage. He stayed at home and was recuperating."

Fortunately, Qilin stopped this gossip that was getting more and more outrageous in time.

Qilin ordered: "Shut up, everyone. Whoever made such a fuss about today's affairs is waiting to pack up and get out. I won't stay in the house anymore."

No one dared to tell Lu Bu, Diao Chan even ordered the maid's mother to shut her mouth, and slapped anyone who heard the matter discussed.

Lu Bu didn't feel anything at first, but after a few days, he finally vaguely noticed something.

"Qilin!" Lu Bu, who had just given birth, ran out happily like a wild dog and walked towards the west wing under the concerned eyes of his servants.

Lu Bu said excitedly: "Come out and divide things. All the wild beasts we hunted last time have been brought back!"

Qilin was silent in the room.

Lu Bu still didn't notice, so he went back to the backyard after shouting. The New Year's Day was less than a month away. All the advisers and generals under his command stopped their work and sat around a courtyard, waiting for Lu Bu to issue the New Year's reward.

Lu Bu was good at hunting, and the skins he brought back were of the best quality. Soldiers from the Bingzhou Army took all the damaged furs away. The piles of furs in the courtyard were all of good quality and were tanned. I would like to think that the Qiang King paid tribute to him back then.

, the Xiongnu sued for peace, and the noble fur presented to the Han emperor was nothing more than this.

Diao Chan sat in front of the porch with a spring breeze on her face.

Lu Bu said: "Come on, the banquet table has been moved. All my dear generals, please take a seat."

Several people took their seats one after another, and the maids served wine. Chen Gong knew that Lu Bu had always been greedy for merit and respect, and would choose to give out rewards in broad daylight with great fanfare. After that, he had to say a few words again and again, "Look how good I am to you." He could only shake his head and smile bitterly.

Lu Bu frowned and said, "Qilin hasn't come yet? What did you do again?"

Jia Xu stood up, cupped his hands and said, "I'll go take a look."

Zhang Liao touched Chen Gong with his elbow and motioned for him to go.

Chen Gong said leisurely: "Leave that old fox alone."

Jia Xu turned to the west chamber and knocked on the door.

"Brother Gao?" Qilin was in the room, turning over a page of the name book without raising his head.

Jia Xu put his hands behind his hands and said, "Wen He."

Qilin knew that Jia Xu had something to say, and as expected Jia Xu said: "Mr. Qilin caused me a lot of pain back then."

Qilin laughed, remembering the counterintuitive plot he conspired with Chen Gong when he was still in Chang'an City, and teased: "Later, you had no place in the Liangzhou army, so you were recruited by Cao Cao?"

Jia Xu stroked his beard and smiled: "Exactly, Yuan Benchu ​​looked down on me, and Cao Mengde was suspicious and unpredictable. It would be better to live comfortably under Marquis Wen. I was still thinking about when Marquis Wen would send someone to summon him. Until the battle of Xuzhou City, the military advisor came in person.

, Only when you are convinced of your defeat can you know your true face."

Qilin still looked at the book in his hand and said leisurely: "What is your true face?"

Jia Xu smiled and said: "He's just a child."

Qilin laughed.

Jia Xu said: "Now Xiliang seems to be calm and far away from the war, but the water is still unstable, and I am afraid that it may change at any time. I am not an alarmist. If the military strategist does not think carefully and take a preemptive strike, the whole city of Longxi will be reduced to ashes in an instant.
