Yesterday, the file system crashed, and I struggled all afternoon. I slept until midnight, and I was hungry, so I got up and bought a barbecue. The barbecue turned out to be terrible... I caught a little rain and caught a cold. I went out to do errands in the morning, came home at noon, and opened
The document found that the thesaurus of the input method collapsed. Damn, could it be any more unlucky?
Today's update is a bit late, so I'll give you the first update first.
The second update will be sent out on time at nine o'clock, please forgive me.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
The night of late autumn is slightly chilly.
There is a faint fragrance of osmanthus left in the courtyard. If you don't feel it carefully, it is difficult to detect it. The wind is soft and cloudless... A bright moon shines in the courtyard, reflecting on the vines all over the wall.
Above. There are stars, and the wind blows, bringing with it a refreshing breath.
Under the porch, a young girl is sitting on her knees, guarding an earthen mound.
There are two holes in the soil, which can be used to warm two pots of fine wine.
Wine aroma, floral aroma...
And this moonlight, this wind...
The combination formed a beautiful picture of a beauty warming her wine. When Cao Peng came over, the girl raised her head and a naughty smile flashed across her face.
"Afu, guess who I am."
Cao Peng immediately stayed there, looking at the beauty in astonishment.
A little strange, yet a little familiar... But the most critical question is, where is Gao Shun?
Who is this woman? Why is she here? And from the tone of his words, it seems that she is quite familiar with her. Looking carefully, the beauty looks about twenty-four or five years old, and she should be about the same age as Cao Peng. Standing
Standing up, he is about 175cm tall, with a tall body and plump beauty. He has black hair, which is gathered into a knot and rolled into the shape of a large vertebra. A white silk rope is tied in the middle of the vertebra, shaped like a horse's belly, and falls behind the head.
.This is the most common hair style of women in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, the pony bun, also known as the Japanese pony bun.
Wearing a moon-white long skirt, tied at the chest.
In this way, the graceful figure of the beauty is highlighted.
She has a face with oval seeds, willow eyebrows like a crescent moon, and eyes as bright as stars. The beauty sits next to her, her delicate dimples are pink. I don’t know if it is the cause of the fire or the excitement in her heart. In her eyes,
A flash of water color flashed, but there was a bright smile on his face.
Ah Fu, guess who I am?
An idea flashed in Cao Peng's mind.
He blurted out: "Miss?"
"Stupid Afu, he finally became smart for once."
Cao Peng was stunned!
Lu Lan, the beauty in front of me is actually Lu Lan.
Cao Peng suddenly woke up, took a breath of cold air, walked forward a few steps, and said nervously: "Miss, how can you return to the Central Plains?"
OMG, Lu Lan actually came to the Central Plains.
You know, she is the head of the Lu family Han Kingdom and represents the state structure of the Lu family Han Kingdom.
Cao Peng didn't know about other things, but he knew that if Cao Cao knew about it, even if he had no idea, Guo Jiaxunyu and others would use the methods of Lu Lan to detain Lu Lan to strengthen the rule of Lu's Han Dynasty. This
Cao Cao often did this kind of thing in history. During the period of Jian'an, Shanyu Huchuquan of the Southern Huns went to Xudu to pay homage. However, Cao Cao detained him, gave him a title, and asked him to stay in Xudu.
Later, Cao Cao took advantage of Huchuquan's absence and secretly supported Qubei, causing the Southern Huns to move south.
His original intention was to naturalize the Southern Xiongnu, but unexpectedly, the Southern Xiongnu actually took the opportunity to occupy the entire Bingzhou and obtain greater benefits.
During the Five Hunan War in China, the Southern Huns were the first to launch an attack on the Central Plains, annihilating the Western Jin Dynasty and establishing the Han Kingdom.
It can be said that handing over the vast land of Bingzhou to the Southern Xiongnu for recuperation was a major mistake in Cao Cao's decision-making. However, it is undeniable that Cao Cao seized Huchuquan and supported him after Qubei, which allowed Bingzhou to gain more power in the past few decades.
Take a breather, Northern Xinjiang will be safe from now on.
Lu Lan dared to run back to the Central Plains. Isn't that a sheep entering a tiger's mouth?
Seeing Cao Peng so nervous, Lu Lan couldn't help but feel sweet in her heart.
"Don't worry, Ah Fu. When I return to the Central Plains this time, I will be accompanied by my confidants. They are returning to Seoul to start a family and start a business. Their wives and children will stay there, so there is no chance of betrayal. Moreover, I come here dressed as a man, and I am usually by Gao Sima's side.
. Only ten people in the entire envoy know about me. And these ten people are all loyal and will never betray me. When my return to Han is successful, I will follow Gao Sima and return to Luhan."
"You... still want to go back?"
Cao Peng made a mistake and said something.
But Lu Lan's cheeks turned red, and she immediately showed a sad look, "If I don't go back, where can I go? My father is gone, and my mother and daughter are over there... My home is also there, even though it's the Central Plains.
It’s my homeland, but it’s hard for me to gain a foothold, so how could I not go back?”
Yes, where can she go?
Cao Peng wanted to say: Stay, I will protect you!
But he knew he couldn't!
Lu Lan's identity is too sensitive. With Cao Peng's current energy, it is really difficult to save Lu Lan.
unless……
Cao Peng sat down next to Lu Lan, and Lu Lan remained silent. He used a holder to lift the jug from under his ear, and slowly filled a glass of wine for Cao Peng.
"Have a look, is it suitable?
This is a skill I learned from my mother after I got there. My mother said that my ability to warm wine is even better than Zhuo Wenjun. Would you like to try it?"
The charming and unruly young lady of yesteryear actually learned how to warm wine?
Cao Peng smiled slightly, held the wine glass with both hands, smelled the aroma of the wine first, then nodded slightly and took a slow sip.
"The eldest lady's craftsmanship is truly extraordinary."
Lu Lan's eyes suddenly flashed with sadness.
"Dad likes drinking the most. I promised him at that time that I would warm wine for him every day in the future. But I learned how to warm wine, dad..."
Cao Peng didn't know how to comfort Lu Lan.
After hesitating for a moment, he reached out and patted Lu Lan's arm gently.
It was late autumn, and the autumn nights were very cold.
Lu Lan was not wearing the queen mother's clothes, but was wearing a white silk skirt. Although she had long sleeves, she could feel the warmth of her jade arms, which were like gelatin.
She trembled slightly, raised her head and glared at Cao Peng.
"By the way, I heard that you are married?"
"Um!"
"Do you have any children?"
"Now, there are three boys and three girls, the one who was beaten is already four years old and the younger one is only a few months old."
"Hehe, it's such a blessing."
Lu Lan's eyes flashed with sadness, but then he smiled again.
"By the way, I heard that you caused trouble again?"
"...I can't tell you the trouble, but now that you're here, my troubles are almost over. Speaking of which, I haven't thanked you yet..."
Cao Peng turned his head and glanced at Lu Lan secretly.
"If I say thank you, I should actually thank you first!" Lu Lan carefully took out a pot of wine and poured another cup for Cao Peng, as if saying to himself: "Back then, I didn't know that you were taking a risk.
What a risk it was to send my family away. Thanks to your help, we have gained a firm foothold over there. My mother and I often mention you and say you are a good person."
A good person?
Cao Peng took a sip of wine and said with a wry smile: "If I were really a good person, I wouldn't send you to that barbaric wilderness to suffer."
Lu Lan turned her head and stared at Cao Peng with her bright eyes.
After a moment, she suddenly laughed and said softly: "If you had gone there at that time, you would not be able to say that there would be no Lü Han Kingdom now."
Cao Peng's heart moved...
"By the way, madam and little madam, how are they?"
“It’s all good.”
“That’s good…it’s worthy of Marquis Wen’s trust back then.
I heard that you will assist the lord and hold back the Goguryeo soldiers and horses? Don’t force it..."
Lu Lan said softly: "Actually, there is no need to force it. Goguryeo and I, Lu Han Kingdom, will have a battle sooner or later. Last year, we captured Weili City and returned it to Seoul, which was tantamount to stating our position. Silla and Goguryeo were quite dissatisfied with this.
, have had several conflicts with us. If Goguryeo is not destroyed, the Lu Han Kingdom may not be peaceful. The reason why we use troops against Goguryeo is actually for ourselves. After all, we are not indigenous and will always be ostracized. Instead of being beaten by them in the future,
It’s better to strike first to gain the upper hand.”
At this time, Lu Lan's words revealed a strong confidence.
Cao Peng nodded lightly...
After all, she is no longer the charming and innocent girl she was back then. Being the head of a country has her own extraordinary qualities. No matter what means she relies on, she is really extraordinary. I don’t know how much she has suffered in these years.
, to achieve today's maturity. If Lu Bu were alive, he would definitely feel happy. The charming girl in the past is now able to stand alone... Thinking of this, Cao Peng couldn't help but sigh.
"Afu, will you go to Youzhou?"
"Going to Youzhou?"
Cao Peng was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and said, "I have been ordered to go to Nanyang County after your trip is over."
"Nanyang County?"
"Yes, Liu Bei captured Wancheng, and the situation in Nanyang was unstable.
I lived in Nanyang County when I was young, and I can be considered half a Nanyang County citizen. So the lord asked me to go there and try to stabilize the situation there. As for Youzhou, I think it’s not a big problem. With the lord’s ability, Yuan Xi is definitely not capable of it.
Resistance, victory or defeat in the battle of Youzhou has been decided."
"Cao Cao is very powerful!"
"Yes, it is very powerful..."
"This time we crossed the sea and met Uncle Wen Yuan in Bohai County.
He also admires Cao Cao very much, but his words are somewhat unfamiliar to Uncle Gao... I wonder if you will be the same in ten years?"
Zhang Liao, are you unfamiliar?
Cao Peng was startled for a moment, then he quickly realized what he was doing.
He looked sideways at Lu Lan and saw a trace of melancholy on her face.
Subconsciously, he held Lu Lan's hand. Cao Peng felt Lu Lan's body tremble slightly, as if he wanted to break away instinctively, but then he calmed down.
"I won't...Actually, it's not just me, General Zhang still misses you.
But... do you know that when General Zhang surrendered, he had an agreement with me. He wanted to be the general who crossed the Liao Dynasty. Only in this way can he take care of you. However, he is now serving under the lord's account. If he treats you
If you are too close, it may be difficult to achieve your goal. It is not that he is alienated from you, but that he has to be alienated. His situation is different from mine. As a surrendered general, after all, there will be many difficulties."
"real?"
"of course it's true."
Cao Peng paused for a moment and said, "If things go wrong in life, they will always be in trouble!
At that time, General Wenyuan wanted to repay Marquis Wen with his death. Only because of my persuasion did he surrender. Over the years, he originally had the opportunity to stay in Jianghuai... Do you know that the 'broken place' you talked about back then has changed
It has become a prosperous place. But General Wenyuan has been moving closer to the north. The reason is because of the identity of the general who crossed the Liao Dynasty... Miss, don't blame him, he is thinking about you."
"how about you?"
"I?"
"Yes, do you also think about us?"
Lu Lan widened her bright eyes, bit her red lips with her white teeth, and looked at Cao Peng expectantly.
A pair of slender hands unknowingly grasped Cao Peng's hand. Cao Peng couldn't help but feel a little dazed. The beauty in front of him instantly became one with the charming and unruly little girl. He nodded solemnly.
, "Of course I also think about you."
"Hehe, I knew it."
Only then did Lu Lan notice that she was holding Cao Peng's hand tightly.
She couldn't help but blush and quickly let go.
The atmosphere suddenly seemed a little awkward, and neither of them spoke anymore. Lu Lan poured a glass of wine for Cao Peng, and Cao Peng drank a full glass.
After a while, Lu Lan suddenly said: "Afu, I want to ask you something, is it okay?"
"explain."
"When you go to Nanyang County, you will fight Liu Bei, right?"
"Um."
"Help me kill him, and Guan Yu."
Cao Peng was startled at first, but then he understood the reason.
In the mess between Lu Bu and Liu Bei, it is hard to tell who is right and who is wrong to be honest. When Lu Bu was down and out, it was Liu Bei who accepted him. But in the end, Lu Bu drove Liu Bei away and occupied Xuzhou; but then, when Liu Bei was desperate,
Lu Bu did not kill him, but gave him a place to stay. The family members of Lu Bu who were captured several times were always treated like honored guests without any offense, and were returned to Liu Bei. Liu Bei helped Lu Bu, and Lu Bu also rescued Liu Bei... However,
To put it bluntly, both of them are just using each other.
But in Lu Lan's heart, I'm afraid she still sides with Lu Bu.
What's more, Lu Bu died at the hands of Guan Yu...
In fact, needless to say Lu Lan, there is no room for relaxation between Cao Peng and Liu Bei and Guan Yu.
Privately, Cao Peng admired Liu Bei quite a lot; but in public, he was Cao Cao's nephew. From the moment he defected to Cao Cao, he and Liu Bei were destined to be life-and-death. Now, Lu Lan's plea was
This gave him another reason to kill Liu Bei.
He took a deep breath and nodded: "Don't worry, I will never let it go."
Lu Lan, laughed!
"By the way, I heard that you went to Hexi?"
"yes."
"Is Hexi fun?"
"Fun? Not really...but it's interesting."
"Then talk to me, talk to me."
Lu Lan seemed to have become the unruly, charming and naive young lady she had been when she was in Haixi. She seemed to be very curious about everything, and kept asking about Cao Peng's experiences over the years. Even the smallest details, she
I will keep asking questions over and over again.
And Cao Peng took the trouble to tell her.
From time to time, he would also ask Lu Lan about his life over the years.
He was quite curious about Sanhan. What kind of weird nation was it that evolved into a group of weird creatures in two thousand years? The more Lu Lan talked about it, the more excited he became. The two of them were still strangers at the beginning, but gradually they became more and more excited.
, there is no longer any barrier...

"Da Sima, is this okay?"
At the corner at the end of the corridor, Gao Shun and a follower were watching silently.
Gao Shun smiled and said softly: "What's wrong? I think it's pretty good...at least, have you ever seen the eldest lady so happy in these years? In any case, Mr. Cao is here to talk to us.
It will bring more convenience and benefits... To be honest, if Mr. Cao had such reputation and ability as he does now, he would have no choice but to marry the eldest lady..."
Having said this, Gao Shun suddenly sighed softly.
