Lu Bu can't remember clearly! But since the first murder, Lu Bu has experienced so many stormy waves, from surviving the flash of swords to becoming the tiger he is today. He has experienced more vicious things, how can he be afraid of a small child?
A small short spear?
But, he was really scared!
The first short spear appeared, telling him that Wei Xuhou was going to rebel.
It turned out that Hou Cheng and Wei Xu really rebelled. Lu Bu was a little scared. What news would this second short spear bring to him?
The death of Wei Xuhou Cheng was a huge blow to Lu Bu.
On the surface, he seemed indifferent. But in fact, Lu Bu's spirit was a little broken...
"Take me there quickly."
Lu Bu grabbed Qi'er's arm and almost dragged Qi'er into the inner house.
Madam Yan has ordered people to be on guard in the inner house, and there are countless guards patrolling around the study. No one can approach the study.
Lu Bu almost rushed into the study and saw Mrs. Yan, Mrs. Cao and Diao Chan, waiting for him. Seeing Lu Bu come in, the three ladies stood up at the same time and saluted Lu Bu. Lu Bu quickly waved his hands, looked around the study, and blurted out: "Where is Lingqi?
?Why don’t you see her here?”
"What time is it? Lingqi is already asleep."
Madam Yan glanced at Lu Bu and said somewhat angrily.
Diao Chan said softly: "Madam thought it was best not to let Lingqi know about these things, so she kept it secret from her... Junhou, Hou Cheng and the others..."
Lu Bu's face suddenly fell.
He sat down on the couch and whispered after a moment: "Dead!"
A suppressed, low hissing sound sounded in the room.
"Still haven't found out who did it?"
"No!"
Mrs. Yan smiled bitterly and said, "It was almost the same as last time. I was about to take a rest when I heard the sound of a tent outside the house. I hurriedly put on my clothes and came out, and saw this short spear stuck in the door frame of the bedroom.
I didn't see who did it. Qi'er also asked the guards on duty, and no one found anything unusual. Your Majesty, your heart has been scattered. You are in the house, but your heart is no longer there."
Lu Bu was silent.
Mrs. Cao handed the short spear to Lu Bu. The style was almost the same as the short spear that appeared last time.
The black lacquered eucalyptus pole and the thirty centimeter-long spear blade were extremely sharp. It was quite heavy to hold. Lu Bu gave a wry smile and placed it beside him.
He has tried that with his arm strength, he can use this kind of throwing spear to achieve the effect from forty steps away.
If the owner of this spear thrower had the same arm strength as him, he would not be able to see it at all. Even if it is not comparable to Lu Bu, as long as it is thrown from a distance of twenty steps, it is generally difficult to find traces. Therefore, it is really hard to blame for this kind of thing
, I can only say that this person is too mysterious.
Madam Yan handed the white silk to Lu Bu.
This time, the content on the white silk was more than last time.
Chaos has begun, and you should know that your life is at risk... In the past, you were kind to me, so I want to repay you today. But there are some things that I must make clear to you, you, you, I cannot save you.
But I will do my best to take care of your family...
The content of the letter is roughly the same.
The letter also said: I know, Junhou, that you are not willing to be subordinated to others. Your character is destined to make it impossible for anyone to believe you. You have a criminal record. The incident of Ding Yuan and Dong Zhuo is still vivid in my mind, but Junhou, you are extremely brave.
, there are few rivals in the world... If it were me, I wouldn't dare to take him in. I think back to the time when you, your lord, galloped across the desert and crossed the Great Wall. Lu Bu was so famous among the people. But now, who really believes in you? You, lord,
It is a soaring eagle that should have soared into the sky. But now...
I know that your current concern is nothing more than your wife, children, and family.
Junhou, you are a family man. It is not surprising that your children are in love and your hero is short of breath. But your wife, children and family are young, and now they have become your concern.
What I can do is to relieve you of your worries. Whether you can break out of the siege in the future depends only on you, and I can't take care of you. In short, life and death depend on your own ability, and there is nothing I can do.
That's all. If you believe in me and are willing to give it a try, then please light a bonfire at the north gate of the inner city on the eighth day of the lunar month. At that time, someone will contact you and tell you your plan of action...
After Lu Bu read the content on the white silk, he was stunned for a moment!
The deaths of Wei Xu and Hou Cheng made him restless and in a trance. To put it bluntly, Lu Bu was desperate at this time... He didn't know how long he could hold on, and he didn't know what his future would be.
The ending, what it will be like in the end.
The arrival of this letter gave Lu Bu a clear understanding.
He began to reflect on his past actions, but found that they were exactly the same as what was written in the letter.
If I surrender, who can tolerate me?
Liu Xuande? He took me in earlier, but I took away his family property. This man is very thoughtful and patient, how can he let me go?
Cao***?
Yuan Shao?
Yuan Shu?
When Lu Bu thought about it carefully, he found that none of these people could truly convince him.
As written in his heart, he was supposed to be an eagle soaring beyond the sky. Neither Cao Cao nor Liu Bei, including Yuan Shao and Liu Biao, could convince him. The pride of the eagle cannot be suppressed by others.
?Then in the end, his result can only be...
Lu Bu threw the white silk and the previous pair of white silk into the brazier.
Watching the blazing charcoal fire burning the white silk, he felt an inexplicable sense of relief.
I remember those days when I rode across the world with my horse on my back and a halberd in my palm. If I could really conquer again, who in the world could stop me?
He raised his head and looked at Mrs. Yan.
Mrs. Yan's eyes flashed with tears, and she looked at Lu Bu infatuatedly.
"Your Majesty, I only found out today that I was the one who caused the Jun and the Marquis to suffer."
Lu Bu smiled and said, "If it weren't for Madam, how could we have the Lu Fengxian we have today?"
As he spoke, he stood up, pointed at the burning white silk, and suddenly burst into laughter, "I have always regretted that I had no friends in this world, but today I know that I have had a friend for a long time, but I didn't know it.
This person can make me trust my wife and sacrifice my son."
"Junhou..."
Mrs. Yan, Mrs. Cao and Diao Chan stood up at the same time and looked at Lu Bu, feeling very surprised.
For some reason, a thin figure appeared in Diao Chan's mind. She had a vague intuition that the white silk was made by him.
I didn't expect that he was so capable.
"But this person...maybe it's a trap?" Mrs. Cao said.
"oh?"
"This man doesn't even dare to reveal his name. Who knows if he doesn't have ulterior motives? My husband entrusted us to this man. What if he turns around and blackmails me?"
"If this is true, I am willing to kill Xiapi City."
Diao Chan suddenly spoke, making Mrs. Cao startled and turned to look at her.
Mrs. Yan smiled, nodded and said, "Xiu'er's words are exactly what I want."
"But……"
Mrs. Cao was still a little hesitant. After all, the white silk only said that she was willing to take care of Lu Bu's child, but it did not explain how or how to take care of him. She didn't even leave her name, which made Mrs. Cao feel a little panicked. She was very scared, Lu Bu
In the end, I trusted no one.
This kind of thing has never happened before!
There was Mi Zhu Mi Fang before, and then there was Chen Gui and Chen Deng.
Including Chen Gong, they had also conspired to rebel, not to mention what happened tonight. Even Lu Ji wanted to rebel. Who else in the world can be trusted? It is said that once a snake bites you, you will be afraid of well ropes for three years. Mrs. Cao is right
Lu Bu's vision is really hard to believe.
Lu Bu said: "There is no need to rush about this matter. We will find out on the eighth day of the lunar month."
"There is one more thing!" Diao Chan said: "This matter needs to be kept secret. Except for Qi'er, only the four of us know about it. We must not tell others."
"That's right."
Diao Chan's words were tantamount to excluding Chen Gong.
To be honest, no one can say for sure what Chen Gong is thinking. He will not surrender to Cao Cao, that is for sure. But if it is not guaranteed, he will drag Lu Bu into the water and die together with Cao Cao. If he finds out about this
God knows if Chen Gong will do something wrong and ruin this matter.
Lu Bu lowered his face and nodded slightly.
Chen Gong shot Hou Cheng Wei Xu today, which made Lu Bu feel somewhat unhappy.
Coupled with all the previous events, he was always wary of Chen Gong. This matter involved the lives of his wife, children, and young children, so how could he take it easy?
At this moment, there was a sudden commotion outside the house.
You can vaguely hear the sound of Qi'er talking to others.
Lu Bu hurriedly walked out of the study and saw Gao Shun panting and looking anxious.
"Deyi, why are you so panicked?"
"Junhou, something bad happened...Young Junhou was kidnapped!"
"ah?"
Lu Bu felt a buzzing sound in his head and was a little dizzy. Young Lord, isn't he Lu Ji? He was detained before, how could he be kidnapped? Could it be that there is still some work in this inner city? Or maybe it is?
, are there still people plotting and preparing to rebel?
Mrs. Yan came out and asked sternly: "Deyi, who robbed that Tartar Hui Ji?"
"Yes Yes Yes……"
"Say it!"
"It was Mrs. Yang who did it."
Mrs. Yang is Lu Ji's biological mother, the woman who was Lu Bu's childhood sweetheart and was later kidnapped by barbarians and gave birth to Lu Ji. After being rescued by Lu Bu, Mrs. Yang became Lu Bu's concubine. Although Lu Bu
He didn't care about her, but he had never treated her badly. This Mrs. Yang was also cruel! For the sake of her son, she even fell out with Lu Bu and kidnapped Lu Ji.
"Then her mother and son are now..."
"Madam kidnapped the young prince..."
"Shut up, you are just a young prince." Madam Yan shouted sternly: "His name is Ta Huiji, and he has nothing to do with the Lu family from now on."
"Yes, it's Tatar."
Mrs. Yan is usually not very impressive, but that doesn't mean she has no talent.
There are not many records about Mrs. Yan in the history books. But no matter what, Mrs. Yan made the Lu family's house peaceful.
Perhaps it is because she is older and has passed the age of jealousy, so Mrs. Yan rarely shows up on weekdays.
But Gao Shun knew that even if Madam Yan got angry, Lu Bu would not dare to touch her. This is definitely an extraordinary woman... Madam Yan's words would be equivalent to driving out Yang and Lu Ji, the Tartars.
He left the Lu family. From then on, there was no such person as Ta Hui Ji in the Lu family.
Gao Shun said: "The Yang family took the arrows ordered by the emperor and took out the Tartars first, and then falsely opened the west gate and escaped from Xiapi. At that time, the general and the military advisor were cleaning up the mess. After learning the news, the military advisor immediately led people to pursue him.
, but it was still too late. When we arrived at the west gate, Yang and Tartar Ji had already escaped without a trace. The military advisor did not dare to go out of the city to search without authorization, so he sent the last general to report the news and strengthen patrols in the city."
Lu Bu, while Mrs. Yan wasn't paying attention, seemed to let out a sigh of relief.
He didn't want to see Lu Ji, but he wanted to see the woman with whom he had been his childhood sweetheart.
Moreover, I have been in contact with Lu Ji for more than ten years. People are not ruthless, and they have some emotions. Just leave... If you are caught, you will probably die in an ugly way. Madam Yan's posture,
If Yang's mother and son are captured, they will be skinned alive.
He felt a little disappointed, but also a little relaxed.
"Deyi, go down and tell the military advisor that the whole city will be on alert from today on."
"Here!"
Gao Shun stepped in and saluted, turned around and left in a hurry.
Looking at Gao Shun's back, Lu Bu's eyes suddenly flashed with a strange light.
He turned around and looked at Mrs. Yan, as if asking, but also as if talking to himself: "Madam, what do you think of this person's virtue?"
Guo Jia's visit to Cao Peng was actually nothing serious.
First, Guo Jia wanted to comfort Cao Peng. After all, Cao Peng had favored Liu Bei before, which would inevitably make Cao Peng feel bad.
As for whether Guo Jia himself wanted to be comforted or whether Cao Cao asked Guo Jia to comfort him, Cao Peng didn't know.
However, in Guo Jia's camp, he heard another thing.
"Liu Xuande is a hero." Guo Jia said to Cao Peng: "This man has great ambitions and is a clan member of the Han Dynasty. Although he has not been included in the genealogy, he has been recognized by many people. This man is good at winning people's hearts, and
He has a stoic personality and is quite like the great ancestor of the past.
Duke Cao also had concerns about this person.
This man is talented and it would be a pity to kill him; but if he is not killed... he will be in trouble sooner or later.
This time, Duke Cao has terminated Liu Bei's military power and intends to take him back to Xudu. However, I am worried that this person will not stop here and may cause trouble. I know that you are dissatisfied with Liu Bei, so I have to tell you something.
, that means keeping an eye on Liu Xuande, are you willing?"
"Am I targeting Liu Bei?"
Cao Peng asked doubtfully: "How to keep an eye on him?"
Guo Jia smiled and said: "This is your business..."
Cao Peng didn't quite understand why Guo Jia chose him to monitor Liu Bei.
Say he hates Liu Bei?
It's really hard to say... After all, Liu Xuande was a character that Cao Peng liked very much when he was young in his previous life. At most, he was a little disgusted, but that was something he grew up with later. So when it comes to hate, I really can't say. The reason why he was with Liu Bei before
Tit-for-tat, more importantly, he wanted to find an excuse to stay in Xiapi. Now that his goal has been achieved, he has no feelings for Liu Bei.
But now that Guo Jia has spoken, Cao Peng will naturally not refuse.
After returning to the barracks, Cao Peng immediately wrote to the minister and transferred Xiahoulan from the minister to Xiapi.
They are all his subordinates anyway, so Cao Hong doesn't care who Cao Peng transfers here. We are all on our own and don't have so many rules.
After the siege of Xiapi inner city, life was quite easy.
Chen Qun was recommended by Cao Hong and was promoted to Cao Cao's account.
Cao Cao naturally knew Chen Shi and had heard of Chen Qun for a long time. When Cao Hong brought Chen Qun to him, Cao Cao was naturally very happy.
On the same day, he appointed Chen Qun as Sikong Xicao's subordinate and asked Chen Qun to stay with him.
Guo Jia, Chen Qun, Xun You, and Dong Zhao all recognized Chen Qun. Especially Guo Jia and Chen Qun were both from Yingchuan Academy and had known each other for a long time. This also allowed Chen Qun to quickly gain a firm foothold under Cao Cao.
He gained a foothold, and for Cao Hong, he also gained a recommendation.
Chen Qun naturally knew who was responsible for his ability to get rid of his bad luck so quickly.
After taking office, he naturally drew a clear line with Liu Bei. Initially, Chen Qun had served Liu Bei, but later he stopped following him because Liu Bei refused to listen to his dissuasion. Now, he has joined Cao Cao and listened to his advice.
After talking about the conflict between Cao Peng and Liu Bei, he naturally refused to get close to Liu Bei anymore. Liu Bei once paid a special visit to him, but Chen Qun made an excuse to avoid it...
At this time, it is important to stand in line.
The tense relationship between Cao Peng and Liu Bei certainly played some role. More importantly, Chen Qun defected to Cao Cao and started flirting with his old master. What would Cao Cao think about it? Therefore, at this time, he must behave very carefully.
Be resolute. If there is any disconnection, it will lead to fatal disaster. Although it is a bit callous to do so, Chen Qun knows clearly in his heart what is more serious and which is less serious.
That night, Cao Peng was reading in the military tent when he suddenly heard Xiahoulan's report and caught a messenger coming from Liu Bei's camp.
Liu Bei's messenger?
Cao Peng couldn't help but laugh when he heard this.
"Xingba, if you see it, I will say that Liu Xuande is not a peaceful master.
Just a few days after being honest, he started to do this trick. But Ziyou, have you ever found out where this messenger is going?"
"Sir, I found a letter from that guy."
"letter?"
When Cao Peng heard this, he immediately became interested and said, "Send it over quickly."
Xia Houlan handed a letter to Cao Peng's case, then casually found a couch in the military tent and sat down comfortably.
Even though he was an old man, Cao Peng didn't have many rules around him, so Xia Houlan was very casual.
"By the way, have you sent your letter?"
"The letter?"
"It's just a letter to your brother."
Xia Houlan suddenly realized, "Young master is talking about Zilong... I have asked someone to send you the letter. It has only been half a year and there is still no reply."
"Who is Zilong?"
Gan Ning asked doubtfully.
Cao Peng heard this and smiled: "A person who can fight with Xingba against San Baihe... I estimate that Xingba may not be able to get an advantage if he fights with this person."
When Gan Ning heard this, he showed disdain and said, "If the young master said that, I will have to learn a lesson from him when I meet him someday."
Cao Peng laughed and shook the letter away.
The reason why he said this was just to put some pressure on Gan Ning.
Just click as far as it will go. If you talk too much, it won't be interesting. With the candlelight on the desk, Cao Peng scanned the ten lines at a glance and frowned slightly.
"Sir, what's wrong?"
Cao Peng sneered, "I knew Liu Bei wouldn't be so honest.
Wei Xu, Hou Cheng is dead... However, Lu Bu sealed the news very tightly and did not leak it at all. His fake Lu Ji defected to Liu Bei. Liu Bei wanted to get in touch with Zhang Wenyuan in Xu County through Lu Ji
, and asked Zhang Liao to lead the Pei Kingdom..."
"ah?"
Gan Ning was startled, rolled his eyes twice, and immediately realized the mystery.
