Lu Bu didn't think it was annoyed, he still stood up and said with a smile: "Second Prince Yuan, please go, don't send it." ”

After seeing Yuan Shu leave and Lu Bu sat down again, Yuan Shao hurriedly stood up and hugged his fists and said, "General Lu, I'm really embarrassed." My brother is used to being arrogant, and I hope the general will not be surprised. ”

Lu Bu hurriedly got up and said, "The eldest prince should not be polite, he did not go to his heart. ”

"That's the best. General Lu, there is a reluctant request below. ”

"Oh? But it doesn't hurt to say that. Lu Bu's heart moved.

"I hit it off with General Lu at first sight, and I want to be commensurate with the general's brothers, but I don't know ......," Yuan Shao said hesitantly.

Lu Bu secretly thought in his heart: Sure enough. got up and laughed and said: "Haha, the fourth and third princes of the Yuan family, if I can call the eldest prince a brother and brother, this should be my glory, it's too late for me to rejoice!" The younger brother, Jiuyuan, Lu Bu, and Lu Feng saw his brother first. ”

Yuan Shao said modestly: "It's just the remnant of the ancestors." Foolish brother Yuan Shao is at the beginning, and virtuous brother should not be polite. ”

"Haha, brother, please don't be surprised, we and other people in the army don't talk about these common rituals, if there is something wrong, brother, please speak up." Lu Bu paused and said, "Today is a day of great joy, why don't you have a wine conversation with your brother at noon?" ”

Yuan Shao hurriedly replied: "I want to do it!" ”

Then Lu Bu instructed his subordinates: "Come on, quickly go to the best restaurant in the city and book a table of banquets, today I will not get drunk with my brother and not return, haha." ”

On this morning, Lu Bu did not receive other guests, and has been talking about the past and the present with Yuan Shao, Yuan Shao was born in a famous family, family history, and Lu Bu was a man in two generations, plus he had rich experience after coming to the Eastern Han Dynasty, the two talked for a whole day, and Yuan Shao and others did not leave until the night.

The fourth generation and three dukes of the Yuan family can be said to be the leading figures of the scholar clan in the Eastern Han Dynasty, and the protégés are all over the world. Whether in the central court or in the local area, the Yuan clan's power is very large.

In a quaint study, an old man gently blew away the floating tea leaves in the cup and said, "Shao'er, I heard that you have recently gotten quite close to the newly sealed flying general Lu Bu?" ”

There was a young man kneeling in front of the old man, it was Yuan Shao, at this time Yuan Shao did not have a half-flying look, only respectful, he replied respectfully: "Back to my uncle's words, although Lu Bu is a martial artist, he also knows poetry and books, and he studied under Cai's family, so he ......."

Looking at this excellent young man in front of him, he thought that he was actually his own flesh and blood, but because he was passed on to his second brother, he could only be called an uncle and nephew. This old man, that is, Yuan Feng, secretly said in his heart: "Hey, if it weren't for you being a concubine, how could I bear to pass you on to others, but it's a pity that your uncompetitive brother, hey......" I couldn't help but think of God.

Yuan Feng didn't respond, Yuan Shao lay on the ground and thought that his behavior had angered the old man, and said silently: "If my uncle doesn't like it, I won't associate with him in the future." ”

Yuan Feng replied to his senses at this time: "The old man didn't mean that. Let's get up and talk first. ”

"Uncle Xie." Yuan Shao got up and sat in his seat respectfully.

Yuan Feng then spoke: "You like to dance knives and guns when you are young, and you like rangers with a group of young people, this is your nature." I've grown up so much, and I don't need to say much about who I'm associating with. I'm asking just to give you a few words. It is obviously not easy for this person to make a name for himself in the frontier land, and it is not idle for Nading to be the lord of a state now, and he can be entrusted with important tasks ....... It's just that now above the court, the sky can't hear clearly, Cai's family is so virtuous but was framed by traitors, thinking that Lu Bu studied under Cai's family, I'm afraid it will inevitably conflict with the eunuchs, so it's a good thing to have a deep relationship with this person, but grasp the measure. ”

Yuan Shao replied solemnly: "What my uncle taught me is that the child should keep it in mind. ”

Yuan Feng nodded with satisfaction and said: "Well, my Han Dynasty has been in the Han Dynasty for hundreds of years, and there have been many such figures, but most of them are short-lived. And our big families can mix like fish in water in the turbulent court, standing for hundreds of years and becoming more and more prosperous. Why is that? ”

After thinking for a while, Yuan Shao replied: "There are clouds in boxing: 'Seven points are scored in the box, and three points are left in case of contingencies'. Uncle, the child understands, associating with Na Lu Bu is my personal behavior, not Yuan's doing. ”

Yuan Feng said happily: "Shao'er is really thorough, you can go." ”

"Yes, uncle, please rest in peace soon." With that, Yuan Shao respectfully withdrew from the study.

Early one morning, Emperor Han Ling soaked in the gentle countryside as usual, and an old man with a white face and beard came to the bedroom of Emperor Han Ling, walked to the door, cleared his throat and said softly: "Long live my emperor, my subordinate Wang Fu has something important to see." ”

After the tea effort, I heard the hoarse voice of Emperor Han Ling from the palace: "Wang Changshi, what's the matter, come to me so early in the morning." There was a hint of impatience in his tone.

Wang Fu replied: "The emperor asks for forgiveness, but it is really Weichen who has received some news and has to come to report it." ”

"Oh? Come in and talk. Emperor Han Ling said nonchalantly.

"No." After Wang Fu got the consent, he gently pushed open the door of the dormitory, kept his head down, and walked outside the curtain of the inner hall to kneel and salute, but was stopped by Emperor Han Ling, and then stood sideways outside and said: "Weichen got the news that the emperor canonized the flying general Lu Bu a few days ago is Cai Yong's party, and after coming to Luoyang, he visited the party members everywhere in the name of official business. ”

Emperor Han Ling was puzzled: "Cai Yong? How did they know each other? ”

"Your Majesty, you are really a noble person who forgets things, a few years ago, Cai Yong was sent to Shuofang, and it belongs to Bingzhou. It is reported that the two not only knew each other, but Lu Bu also apprenticed to Cai Yong. ”

"Oh, I see." Emperor Han Ling pondered slightly: "This is not a big deal, Cai Yong is a scholar after all, not to mention that this party has been lifted, and it is normal to walk around with each other, I know." Wang Changshi, you are also old at this age, so you don't have to come in person for such a trivial matter in the future. Okay, I'm tired, let's go down and rest. ”

Wang Fu hurriedly retreated, but a fine light flashed in his eyes innorantly.

Early 185 A.D.

This New Year, Lu Bu spent it in Luoyang.

During this time, Lu Bu was not idle, a lot of the time Yuan Shao came to him to spend time together, and Lu Bu was also happy to be close to the eldest son of the Yuan family, after all, the status of the Yuan family was there, and Yuan Shao's heroic righteousness at this time was also very much interested in Lu Bu, and the relationship between the two became deeper and deeper.

Today is the Lantern Festival, a major traditional Chinese festival.

On this day, Yuan Shao chartered the largest restaurant in Luoyang City, and invited a group of relatives and friends to come to the banquet, and Lu Bu was also among the invited.

Lu Bu came to the restaurant in advance accompanied by Tian Feng and Zhang He, but he didn't expect that it was already full of people at this time, and the reputation of the Yuan family was also evident.

As soon as Lu Bu walked into the door, he heard a hearty voice shouting, "Feng Xian, Feng Xian, come here quickly!" It was Yuan Shao who spoke, I saw that he was dressed in a brocade robe, and the jade belt around his waist was shining, and he was already magnificent, and he looked even more extraordinary at this time.

The tables and chairs in the hall on the first floor of the restaurant have all been emptied, and there are low seats for one person and one table, Yuan Shao is standing in the master's position at the moment, and there are already many people sitting on the left and right, most of them are some of Yuan Shao's playmates that Lu Bu knows, but there are still a few empty near Yuan Shao's position.

Lu Bu entered the hall and finally sat down at Yuan Shao's signal, and then greeted those acquaintances. At this time, I suddenly heard a report from the porter: "Lord Cao Cao has arrived!" ”

Hearing this, Lu Bu looked at the door, only to see a person with a short figure and an unattractive appearance appearing there, only to see that the person who came was only seven feet tall, his eyebrows were messy, and his triangular eyes flashed from time to time, but standing there, there was a heroic aura emanating from him, which made people notice him in the crowd at once. Behind him stood two imposing generals with eight points of similarity, one was more than eight feet tall, and the other was also more than half seven feet tall, with a majestic bearing.

I saw Yuan Shao get up directly to greet him, walked quickly to the comer, and affectionately took the other party's hand and said, "Ah Hide, Ah Hide, you can make it hard for your brother to wait!" I have been hiding at home when I returned to Beijing, if it weren't for this Lantern Festival, I'm afraid I wouldn't have seen you! ”

Cao Cao laughed heartily and replied: "Why did the first brother say this, the younger brother is really ashamed, he should have gone to visit his brother earlier, but he has been lingering on the sickbed, and he is not even qualified for the official position appointed by the imperial court, and he has just seen well in the past few days!" Only Lu Bu, who had been paying attention to Cao Cao, saw that the corners of his mouth twitched slightly when Yuan Shao called out to Ah Pu.

Yuan Shao kept pulling Cao Cao to walk in front of Lu Bu, Lu Bu hurriedly got up, and Yuan Shao introduced: "Ah Pu, at this time, my newly met good friend Lu Bu, Lu Fengxian, Jiuyuan people's clan, has been stationed at the border all the year round, and was just canonized by the emperor as 'General Fei' a few years ago. Feng Xian, this is the Cao Cao I often mention, Cao Mengde, is my young friend, you have to be careful when you interact with him, this guy is very cunning. ”

Lu Bu hurriedly said earnestly: "Brother Cao, in Xia Lu Bu, Brother Cao has always been famous for a long time, especially Brother Cao's five-color stick to kill eunuchs, risk death in the court, and bravely kill the enemy to extinguish the chaotic party, which is really a model for people of my generation to follow. ”

Cao Cao laughed and said, "Haha, the general is falsely praised." A little thing, not enough to worry about. How can you get a young talent of a general, and you can be chic and happy from the prairie. To tell the truth, Cao has always longed for a military career, and admires those heroes who defended the country. I want my people in Shenzhou to live and work in peace and contentment, and I will thank the generals and other border soldiers for their merits, General Lu, please accept Cao's worship! After that, he really bowed deeply to Lu Bu.

Lu Bu wanted to stop him at this time, so he had to turn sideways to avoid it, and at the same time salute: "Lord Cao, it's time to break the general." Guarding the border is a matter of my generation. What's more, Feng Xian took Wei and Huo as an example, but now he only has a little merit, and he really can't be like an adult. ”

Cao Cao Zhengse said: "The general has such a plot at a young age, it is really my great luck!" ”

Lu Bu was still polite, but Yuan Shao interrupted: "Oh, you two, how can you learn to be like a literati and be verbose." If you want it, I have prepared a lantern riddle for everyone upstairs, and you can play it to your heart's content later! Feng Xian, sit down quickly, Ah Hide, also hurry up to the table, and the table will start in a while! ”
