Lu Bu stood up, bent down and looked carefully on the shelf, and finally saw gold beads and two wolf teeth in a dry inkstone, which was dusty.

Lu Bu felt indescribable disappointment. He turned around and glanced at the table.

On the case were maps of Longxi, city defenses, construction information, and name notes filled with small characters. There were also documents from Chen Gong piled up in a mess, with Gao Shun's ore on top.

Lu Bu picked up something on the table, which was a small wooden stick split in half, wrapped with a charcoal core, and tied with a rope.

"No wonder he writes and approves documents so quickly." Lu Bu muttered, "The handwriting is so ugly."

A document was written in Chen Gong's handwriting: "Taxes are insufficient and the government's expenses are very high."

Qilin Pi: "I understand, taxes cannot be increased in the coming year. This is the time for Fengxian to spend money to buy reputation."

Under the document, Qilin wrote five or six lines of words densely in the blank space with a homemade pencil: reduce expenses, do not use paper when delivering orders, use wooden charcoal strips instead, which can be erased and used again and again, implement charcoal rationing throughout the city, fold four sheets when steaming noodles

Layer pot - I also scrawled a wooden steamer shape, crookedly.

Big words: Don't touch people's property without permission. Once discovered, you will be killed without mercy. I will bear all the responsibilities.

Lu Bu nodded approvingly.

A document was written in Jia Xu's handwriting: "Soldiers fight bravely and disturb the people. There will be a lot of trouble this month."

Qilin Pi: Nothing makes trouble, everyone is given a fishing rod, digs out earthworms, goes to the river northwest of the city, digs a few holes in the ice, and holds a fishing competition.

In the army, you can play against each other, and the arena can be set up at will. The bounty is collected from the treasury. Small bets can be made, and big bets can be caught in secret.

Anyone who assaults a woman in the city will have their tools confiscated.

Lu Bu laughed.

Lu Bu turned another page and saw a piece of rice paper with only a few lines written on it. He scratched his head and read:

"Grand master...what word, I am very...is this a difficult word? What word is it, past? This is my...lifetime...I fell in love with...Lv..." Lu Bu tilted his head and thought. (

There are many simplified Chinese characters that are difficult to understand)

"Lu!" Lu Bu's eyes suddenly lit up.

"Don't peek at my letters home." Qilin said coldly.

Lu Bu was startled and said indifferently: "You are pretending to sleep again."

Qilin took a deep breath and said, "Get out."

Lu Bu said: "I am the lord! Don't be arrogant just because the Marquis favors you! The whole house is my territory!"

"Get out!" Qilin roared, "Who cares about you, Lord! Ziweixing must abide by the rules in my territory!"

An inkstone flew out of the room, and Lu Bu scurried away with his head in his arms. The pen holder and pen holder were shot out of the courtyard with a loud crash, and Lu Bu's head was covered with ink.

"What's wrong with you?" Lu Bu had a confused look on his face. Unable to hold himself back any longer, he grabbed the bowl of polyester brush and porcelain that was thrown out and yelled, "Don't be too arrogant!"

Lu Bu was furious and smashed the porcelain bowl into the room as if he could not control it. He shouted: "You are so shameless! I will kill you!"

The room fell silent for a moment.

Lu Bu took a breath for a moment, but neither of them spoke.

Lu Bu became angry and turned around and left.

In the afternoon, the light passing through the window panes was wrapped in flying dust, forming strips of dim light.

Grand Master:

I'm so sad. This is the most depressing time in my life.

I came to help him, but ended up falling in love with Lu Bu, and now, I keep hurting him.

I once regretted why I helped him marry Diao Chan back home; but after talking with Diao Chan, I thought carefully that since I can't stay in this era, I shouldn't provoke him again.

What's more, I can't be a concubine, and I don't want to be a wife. Diao Chan is the one who will accompany him throughout his life.

I can't drag on any longer, I must sort out the relationship with him.

Otherwise, after completing the mission, I will leave him forever. He doesn't know where I come from and where I am going. If we are together, he will definitely feel more uncomfortable than he does now when I leave.

When I close my eyes these days, I think of Fengxian, dressed in yellow robes, sitting alone on the dragon chair in a daze.

Uncle Master is right, don't fall in love with a mortal, otherwise just a few decades of happiness will be replaced by never-ending pain - the nine-tailed fox is the best example.

Fortunately, I understood it early. I miss you very much and want to go back as soon as possible. Please protect me and complete this work smoothly.

I'll be more restrained.

——Depressed: Xiaohei.

Nearly half a month later, Longxi's grain and grass consumption greatly exceeded Qilin's budget. In the winter of the first year, the most difficult moment came.

Zhang Liao handed over the order, Diao Chan played the Jiaowei Qin, and Lu Bu was drinking and listening to music in the hall.

The wine was brewed happily with Qilin before. When Lu Bu drank it, he felt as bitter as drinking yellow bile water.

"We've finished eating now?!" Lu Bu said frantically: "Where's the prey we brought back last time? Give them less!"

Zhang Liao said at a loss of whether to laugh or cry: "I have eaten three times, and now I have the last bit of money left, which I bought from the black market in Chang'an."

Lu Bu said: "Take out the gold from the library and buy it."

Zhang Liao replied: "All the gold has been spent. Chen Gong asked me to ask my lord what he meant."

Lu Bu couldn't believe it: "The gold...is gone too?!"

Zhang Liao: "Exactly, there are less than 10,000 taels of silver left in the treasury, and it is being prepared for big things. The military advisor once ordered that this silver should not be touched under any circumstances unless it involves cannibalism."

Lu Bu said: "This matter...this matter is not my business! Ask...ask Qilin! Let the military advisor think of a solution."

Zhang Liao was dissatisfied and looked at Lu Bu for a moment. Lu Bu said arrogantly: "What?"

Zhang Liao bowed, clasped his fists, turned around and left.

Zhang Liao stood outside the window. The hole that Lu Bu had made half a month ago had not yet been repaired, and the cold wind was blowing in.

Zhang Liao: "What's going on? Who bullied you? Why don't you make up for it?"

Qilin: "My lord smashed it, and if he didn't say to make up for it, who would dare to make up for it?"

Zhang Liao was extremely angry and turned around to leave. Qilin shouted: "Come back! What's the matter? Let's talk about it before leaving."

Zhang Liao: "There is no food and money. Forty thousand brothers are hungry. Chen Gong asked me to come find the lord, but the lord said he doesn't care."

Qilin: "Chen Gong is bluffing him. We are all ready. Let's go. I will accompany you to change some money to spend."

Zhang Liao couldn't help but said: "You should wear more clothes. It's so cold and there isn't even a brazier. It's frozen carefully."

Qilin wrapped it in fur, took off the ring hat on the rack, remained silent, put it on, and pulled it down to cover the scars on his head.

Zhang Liao felt so sad that he didn't dare to say anything more. He walked around the courtyard a few times and said, "Has the chicken coop been moved here?"

Qilin shouted: "Oops! I forgot to feed you again!"

Zhang Liao said: "He is already dead."

Qilin: "..."

Two gray chickens were huddled together, frozen stiff, and had obviously been dead for several days.

Zhang Liao: "Master, have you forgotten to feed me too?"

Qilin: "I guess so."

Zhang Liao: "I'll buy you two more."

Qilin picked up the wooden box: "Forget it... I don't want to keep it anymore. I always forget things. I have such a bad memory since I was a child... Let's go."

Zhang Liao led Qilin out. Lu Bu was still drinking in the hall, strumming the strings of his piano and saying, "What are you going to do?"

The sound of the piano made Zhang Liao stop. Qilin hugged the wooden box and answered absently: "Bury something."

Lu Bu said indifferently: "Oh, I'm sorry, I forgot to feed them too."

Qilin turned around, and Lu Bu saw an injury under Qilin's hat, and asked again: "What's wrong with your forehead? Come here and let me take a look."

Qilin did not answer and left the Hou Mansion with Zhang Liao.

Lu Bu sat for a while, then stood up, picked up the Jiaowei Qin in front of him, slapped it on the table, broke it into two pieces, and then threw it towards the threshold like crazy.

Diao Chan was so frightened that she screamed loudly and couldn't help but retreat and hide.
Chapter completed!
