Chapter 41: The Death of the Nine Plains

The game was lost, but Chen Chen also got the benefits.

The final result of the game was still won by Liu Bei and Zhao Yun.

Jian Yong and Guo Yibai picked up a small ranch, and their faces bloomed with joy.

Actually, that's not bad.

The two of them moved in relatively late, and some of the previous rewards were not distributed to them.

Don't look at Chen Chen and Mao Jie, they usually have nothing to do with money, and Mao Jie's own purchase of so many cattle and sheep from the pasture.

The two of them are actually quite rich, because during the New Year and festivals, Liu Bei will always give out a lot of benefits.

So those of them who followed Liu Bei early have already gained a lot of things.

Lao Guo and Jian Yong, who came late, can be regarded as bringing some experience to everyone, and this reward can be regarded as a subsidy for them, otherwise the two of them would not have had the opportunity to make a great contribution as commanders like Chen Chen and Xun You.

Bingzhou's side is happy, and the atmosphere of the whole world is not very different.

But in the northern border, there is a different kind of mood.

That emotion, maybe called loneliness?

Lu Bu quietly looked at the scenery outside Jiuyuan City alone.

He suddenly felt a little lonely.

Because Liu Bei wiped out the Huns, and the Xianbei people were also frightened by the previous record of killing hundreds of thousands of Xianbei people in the Bingzhou pit, as well as the record of going straight to Yunzhong County in seven days.

In recent days, Gohara County has been very stable.

The Huns and Xianbei people that Lu Bu had been fighting against before were now not even visible.

All along, he grew up killing and fighting, and now that he has no fight, no opponents, he feels endless loneliness.

He suddenly remembered the white-robed young general he met in the Hun King's tent that day, he felt his potential and strength, and he looked forward to his growth.

It's a pity not now.

Lu Bu picked up the Fang Tian painting halberd leaning on the city wall, he moved his muscles and bones, and the whole person looked a little lonely.

Perhaps, he won't stay here for long.

Lu Bu turned his head and looked at the low houses in Jiuyuan City.

After all, I can't restrain myself here, I want to have a stronger opponent, I want to have a broader vision, I can only go out.

Go outside.

"Whew."

Lu Bu slowly dismantled the iron tied around his waist, and his whole muscles loosened, and he breathed a long sigh of relief, as if he wanted to empty all the turbidity in his body at once.

The slanting sun was reflected on the side of his face.

The high bridge of his nose cast a shadow on his angular face, obscuring the flames from his eyes.

He is not a man without goals.

He wanted to go to the south to see, to the legendary Central Plains.

Look at how many masters there are in the world.

See what you still have to learn and if you have room for improvement.

In fact, Lu Bu himself didn't know that he actually subconsciously had a yearning and pursuit from the spiritual level for the mysterious Central Plains.

He had great hopes for the masters there.

I hope they can easily defeat themselves and give themselves room to go further in the martial arts.

At this time, Lu Bu was still a man who simply wanted to protect his homeland, and sought a breakthrough in martial arts to break the shackles that had limited him for a long time.

For him, he is a wild knight who was born and grew up in the grassland.

The way he spoke was the Fang Tian Painting Halberd in his hand.

Coming down from the wall, he unloaded his iron tools.

Because he didn't want to bring those things home.

"Coming back?"

He had barely stepped through the door of his house when he heard a faint inquiry.

The tall man loosened his shoulders and walked briskly into the room to the bed.

Lu Bu's face was completely devoid of the ferocity and indifference that he had when he was killing aliens.

There was warmth on his iron-blooded face, that kind of careful gentleness.

"Don't move, how are you feeling today?"

Lu Bu gently stroked his wife's long hair that fell on his forehead.

He hoped she would get better soon.

"It's a lot better today."

The woman on the bed was emaciated, but her sickly appearance did not make her beauty even more poignant.

She and Lu Bu are childhood sweethearts and have been friends since childhood.

The Wei family is a famous beauty in Jiuyuan City, and Lu Bu is also the proudest wolf head in Jiuyuan City, they love each other as a matter of course and are together as a matter of course.

She gave birth to a daughter for Lu Bu, and she also became the treasure in Lu Bu's heart.

If there was no illness, maybe Lu Bu would have been guarding the two of them in Jiuyuan City all his life.

Unfortunately, just last year, she suddenly fell ill and has been bedridden ever since.

"It's better, it's been a long time since the aliens came to disturb the border."

Lu Bu held her hand and felt her body temperature.

"I'll be with you from tomorrow onwards."

"Don't take it lightly, I handed over all the things I helped to deal with before, I handed them over to Xu'er, he was stunned, you have to help me take a good look at him."

Lu Bu nodded dumbly.

What his wife said was the official business that she had helped Lu Bu deal with before, and the stability of Jiuyuan City was also due to the Wei family.

Moreover, when Lu Bu fought the alien army outside Jiuyuan City, it was the Wei clan who encouraged the people in the city and calmed everyone's panic.

After Wei fell ill, people often came to visit and sent some things, hoping that she would recover soon.

"I'll go see Qi'er."

Lu Bu appeased Wei and wanted to go out to see his daughter.

"Okay."

Wei Shi lay on the bed, looked at Lu Bu's back, and silently shed two lines of tears, choking up and not knowing what to say.

Her days are numbered.

People can sense how much time they have left to live.

She knew that she was running out of time to be with her husband and daughter, and she hoped they would be well.

Lu Bu came out of the house and saw his daughter who was working hard to wash clothes in a corner of the courtyard.

Her little hands rubbed vigorously on her clothes, hoping to wash these plain clothes cleanly, so that her mother could wear them more comfortably.

There are not so many rules in Jiuyuan City, and the Lu Bu family does not have any maids, just a simple family of three.

Although Lu Lingqi is not very old, she is very sensible.

He is quick to do things and can take care of his mother alone.

She never complained, because she knew that she was the daughter of Jiuyuan Lu Fengxian.

His father is a hero who guards his homeland, and his mother is also a respected and good lady.

She's always been proud of it.

Even if she lives harder, she doesn't feel anything wrong.

"Lingqi, how is your mother's situation today?"

Lu Bu squatted down and took the clothes from Lu Lingqi's hand, he helped wash the clothes, and asked his daughter about Wei's situation today.

"Not so good."

Lu Lingqi lowered her head, hugged her knees with both hands, and her voice was a little glutinous, as if she was holding back her crying.

"Today, my mother coughed up blood again, coughed a lot, and Lingqi didn't know what to do."

Her fingers twisted together, as if to blame herself.

Earlier today, when she wiped the blood from the corner of her mother's mouth, she was very distressed, but she didn't know what she could do.

"It's okay, Lingqi has done a good job, your mother will be fine."

Lu Bu smiled and stroked Lu Lingqi's hair, his big hand covered Lu Lingqi's head, giving her strength.

"Hmm."

Squatting on the side and watching her heroic father squat here to wash clothes, Lu Lingqi felt that such a day was warm enough.

"Ahem, cough, vomit ......"

Suddenly, there was a rapid coughing sound from inside the room.

Lu Bu, who was washing clothes, changed his face, put down the clothes in his hand, and went straight to the house.

Rushing into the house in great strides, Lu Bu's face was extremely ugly, and he quickly stepped forward and knelt beside Wei, looking at his wife distressedly.

Wei's futon was stained with red blood.

This is what she just coughed up.

It seems that the time is almost up.

Lu Bu didn't speak, he looked at her quietly, he hadn't cried no matter how much blood he had shed, his eyes were moist, and there was a lot of reluctance in his eyes.

Lu Bu is a person, whether it is in the eyes of opponents or companions.

When he arrived at home, he was a man who doted on his wife.

I love my wife deeply.

He is also a lover.

"It seems that I can't hide it from you."

Wei raised her hand to wipe the blood from the corner of her mouth, she felt that this might affect her image in her husband's heart.

However, the hand did not have much strength, so he lifted it and put it down.

She stared at Lu Bu silently.

Lu Lingqi lay on her mother's calf and looked at her mother silently, she was used to coughing up blood like this, but even with her father's assurance, she was still panicked, for fear of any accident.

"If I go, you need to find a good family."

Wei's breath was faint and his voice was small, but it could be heard by Lu Bu.

The first thing she instructed was to let Lu Bu remarry.

Lu Bu shook his head, his tears could no longer hold back, and burst out of his eyes, and for a while, tears poured out.

"No, I won't."

"Nonsense."

Wei's voice couldn't raise his strength, but it rebuked Lu Bu's thoughts.

"Can you take good care of Qi'er?"

"Be obedient, find a good family, be kind to Qi'er, I hope you can always remember Qi'er in your heart."

"Don't be competitive, just fight with others at will."

"Don't be famous, sometimes it's more important to follow your heart."

..........................

chattering, Wei said everything he wanted to tell Lu Bu to remember.

After finishing speaking, he asked Lu Bu to pull Lu Lingqi over and gently raised his hand to put it on the head of his most beloved daughter.

"Qi'er, grow up obediently, your mother will always watch you."

Wei's eyes were full of love.

She's in this life.

has such a husband and such a daughter, in fact, there are no regrets.

It's just that God didn't give himself more time to accompany them, so that they had to cry for themselves at this time, which is sad.

So be it.

Wei took his last breath.

She slowly closed her eyes and looked nostalgically at her husband and daughter beside the bed.

"Click, click."

The room was quiet, and the sound of Wei's breathing had disappeared.

All that remained was the sound of tears falling to the ground.

A big man like Lu Bu was sobbing and choking silently.

He was so painful that he couldn't even put it into words.

He felt that everything he was attached to had lost its meaning.

He hugged his daughter tightly, and it would be the only thing he had to protect from now on.

In the fifth year of Zhongping, Lu Bu sent his wife, and Jiuyuan Wei died of illness.

Wei's advocated the establishment of a kindergarten in Jiuyuan, set up a medical center, showed off his wisdom, virtuous and virtuous, and his death was the death of Jiuyuan and Wuyuan.

Lu Bu rode a black horse in black clothes and black armor, carried the coffin around Jiuyuan, let him look at his homeland again, and then buried him.

For a time, the people of Jiuyuan City went to worship, and the incense was endless.

Lu Bu sat quietly by his wife's grave.

Look at the people who come and go.

In a daze.

He didn't know what he was thinking.

He didn't know what he was supposed to think.

He didn't know what he was going to do next.

The thought of being dazed, hopeless, life losing its meaning flooded his mind.

The Death of the Nine Plains.

It's not just Wei's departure.

There is also Lu Bu's state of decadence.

Fortunately, there are not too many alien invasions now, and there are no foreign enemies.

And the interior of Jiuyuan City is still relatively united, and nothing happened to Lu Bu's decadence and self-indulgence.

If there is a foreign enemy attacking at this time, Jiuyuan City may not be able to defend it.

Lü Lingqi was fostered in the home of her uncle Wei Xu, while Lü Bu lived next to Wei's grave and personally mourned for him.

These kinds of days seem peaceful.

But peaceful days are meant to be broken.

Lu Bu looked at the Fang Tian painting halberd that was placed in the middle of the house and was wrapped in layers of black cloth.

He felt that he was not needed for the time being.

During the mourning for his wife, he didn't want to kill more, and he didn't have much opportunity for him to kill more.

He just wanted to sit next to his wife and talk to her about the past.

In the past, she was always babbling.

She's making trouble, she's laughing.

Now that she's not making trouble, she can't laugh anymore.

As usual, he sat cross-legged by the grave, prepared a jug of wine, drank slowly, talked slowly, and talked about the past.

Suddenly, the sound of horses' hooves was heard from afar.

Lu Bu put down the wine glass in his hand, and he could feel that this person was coming in his direction.

He narrowed his eyes and looked in that direction.

Slowly, a figure appeared from a slope, the speed of the horse was not slow, and seeing that he was not carrying any weapons, Lu Bu's brows were relaxed.

If the visitor is a guest, there is no need to use a sword in front of his wife.

"Brother Fengxian, long time no see!"

The comer shouted.

Lu Bu recognized who the person was.

Li Su.

A brother who walked out from Gohara-gun.

I heard that he went to Luoyang, but I don't know why he came back.

Lu Bu got up and looked at his old acquaintance who came in a hurry and got off the horse in a hurry with some strange eyes.

"Why are you here?"

Lu Bu's voice was not cold, but it could make people hear that he was not interested in other things, and there was a feeling of serving tea to guests.

"Su is here to worship Mrs. Sister-in-law."

Li Su grimaced and bowed towards Wei's grave.

"Then sit down and have a drink."
