General Yan is taking over the troops in Xuzhou, and I heard that they have been well integrated now, and they will be able to bring them to the battlefield in a few days. ”

Liu Bei nodded with satisfaction,

Turning to look at Sima Fu,

Said with relief:

"I finally have a general who can reassure me. Hey, I want to be quiet for a while, you can get busy first. ”

"Yes, my lord!"

Sima Fu left the city.

When Sima Fu gradually went away,

Liu Bei seemed to wander to the side casually,

After a while, a soldier stationed at the head of the city walked quickly.

"Lord!"

Liu Bei glanced around,

And no one is paying attention to this.

The soldier also sensed Liu Bei's caution,

Spoken:

"Lord, Sima Fu has left, and there are all our people around."

Liu Bei let out a long breath,

"Huh-uncle, now the only one I can fully trust is you."

Chen Zhi's young face flushed slightly,

That's because of Liu Bei's trust,

I can't help but be excited,

And the expression revealed.

"The second brother was captured, the third brother was reckless, and Yuan Zhi was taken captive by Lu Bu again...... I, Liu Xuande, are now almost lonely. ”

Chen Zhi pursed his lips,

Hurriedly spoke:

"Lord, although you are not talented, you are willing to fall into the stirrups for the horse."

Liu Bei retracted his gaze,

Looking at this faithful young man,

The little sorrow in my heart suddenly dissipated a lot,

patted Chen Zhi's shoulder again and said:

"Uncle Zhi, how is the relationship between Chen Qi and his son?"

"I have already been in contact, and the other party is quite in favor of the lord's entry into Xuzhou, and Chen Qi is actively wooing the scholars for the lord in Xiapi City to create momentum. As for his son Chen Deng, he is now almost here. ”

Chen Zhi had a slight smile on his face,

It's rare to see a smile on the face of this unsmiling young general,

Now the situation is very good,

He also rejoiced in his lordship.

"Uncle Zhi, although the situation seems to be very good now, you must not take it lightly. The contribution of Chen Jue's father and son, I always feel that it is too easy. ”

After a pause, Liu Bei sighed slightly and said:

"Iron still needs to be hard, we still have too thin foundation......"

At the end of May 192 A.D.,

The season of fire,

Everywhere there are scenes of flowers,

It adds a lot of color to the lively land.

This is the busiest season for farm work.

Almost all the peasants in the world,

are all busy in full swing,

Although there are beads of sweat on his face,

But it was full of joy.

Even in locust plague-infested areas,

And the people were glad to go about their own business,

or catch locusts,

Or wash and cook.

Since Lu Bu popularized several ways of cooking flying locusts,

The entire Guanzhong, and even the nearby area,

It has become popular to eat this pest.

Although the farmland in Chang'an and other places was eaten by these locusts,

However, due to the timely and sufficient arrival of aid,

The people have no worries,

Coupled with the way Lu Bu hunted locusts in exchange for food and daily necessities,

Promote the spontaneous and active capture of locusts,

In addition, Liu Jun's animal army has once again made great contributions,

Found several locust spawning spots,

And destroy a large number of locust eggs,

Without a steady stream of follow-ups,

The huge locust plague is finally weakening.

The locust plague has finally been contained,

Lu Bu was finally idle,

These two days of idleness,

Especially in the afternoon,

Political affairs are usually dealt with in the morning.

And then the whole day began to wander around,

On this day, Lu Bu came to the courtyard of the mansion in a leisurely manner.

Although there are still many locusts in existence,

However, compared to a while ago, it has been much less.

And large-scale swarms of flying locusts have become rare.

Lu Bu sat in the garden,

Enjoy a rare moment of tranquility,

Zhang Ning was boiling tea beside him,

Tea is good tea, water is also good water,

The tea set is the best tea set found from the palace,

It's just that Zhang Ning, who makes tea, is not a master.

On the contrary, she can't even talk about getting started,

It's just beginning to learn to make tea,

The technique is still very immature,

And often in a hurry,

There is no such leisurely and leisurely posture of others at all,

Lu Bu looked at Zhang Ning's slightly frowning eyebrows,

A faint smile hung on the corner of his mouth.

At this time, the beauty was staring nervously at the teapot,

Observe the state of the water,

That attentive and cautious look,

Even others couldn't help but get nervous.

"Ning'er, you are like a great enemy, which inevitably destroys the elegance of boiling tea."

Lu Bu said,

While personally reaching out his hand,

Pick up the teapot on the small stove,

poured myself a cup of tea,

took a shallow taste,

Comfortably, he said:

"Carved jade curtain forehead, light cage empty door. The well draws lead and water, and the fan weaves the mandarin duck pattern. Back to the snow dance cool hall, the nectar washes the empty green. Luo sleeves from wandering, fragrant sweat stained with Baosu. This is Mayday, Ning'er, you have such a mentality, you can't taste the fun of making tea. ”

When Zhang Ning heard this, his upturned nose wrinkled,

rolled his eyes at Lu Bu,

simply threw the teaspoon in his hand aside,

Jiaosheng says:

"Hmph, it's not that you said how good it is to make tea, people only came to learn, and now you are the one who dislikes others, and you don't learn it. Dislike! ”

Lu Bu looked at his wife and seemed to be angry,

I can't care about maintaining any elegant demeanor anymore,

hurriedly came to Zhang Ning's side,

The big hand gently put on Zhang Ning's fragrant shoulder,

Knead it gently with both hands,

The mouth kept saying:

"Hey, hey, wife, I was wrong. It's all my fault, it's all my fault, my lady is the most considerate, how can her husband not understand, naturally she is distressed and grateful. Look at it, isn't that poem just written specifically for you, isn't it very heartfelt for your husband? ”

While enjoying Lu Bu's familiar massage techniques,

Some of the soreness of the shoulders is much more comfortable,

While listening to Lu Butian's shameless words,

Zhang Ning couldn't help but laugh,

Two red clouds appeared on her pretty face,

It's just the way of the daughter's family,

was ridiculed by Lu Bu for such a gag,

Naturally, I can't hold back,

Cover your mouth and chuckle:

"Hmph, don't try to lie to Ning'er. My sister told us that you can't write so many good poems with a few taels of ink in your stomach, most of them are plagiarized, so you can fool our sisters. ”

Lu Bu was shocked when he heard this,

immediately sat down in front of Zhang Ning,

His face changed drastically, and his hands tightly covered his heart.

exaggeratedly said:

"My God, Ning'er, you don't believe in being a husband so much, my heart is broken, it hurts, I need a fragrant kiss from my wife to be able to soothe it a little......"

Zhang Ning glanced at the scoundrel in front of him helplessly,

There are always strange reasons to tease a few of them,

But everyone can't stop it,

At this time, there happened to be other people around,

Then he closed his eyes and blushed,

By that handsome face getting closer and closer.

Just when Lu Bu was about to kiss Fang Ze,

Suddenly, a faint voice came:

"Tsk, Lu Wenhou is immediately the first in the world of martial arts, and I can't imagine that this kung fu of coaxing women is also unparalleled in the world."

The voice appeared unusually abruptly,

Both of them were taken aback by the arrival,

Hurriedly separated,

Zhang Ning can't be shy,

Look around for the source of the sound.

But after Lu Bu's initial surprise,

I heard the man's voice,

Guessed the identity of the coming.

"Pretending to be a ghost!"

Lu Bu spit out these four words angrily,

Obviously, he was very upset that this person interrupted his good deeds.

A figure slowly emerged from the shadows between the trees,

This way is different from the general way of hiding,

is even more different from the kind of invisibility cloak worn by Zhang Ning,

But this way of hiding made Lu Bu's eyes light up,

When the other party hides,

Even with his current cultivation,

It's hard to detect the slightest clue,

Otherwise, it is impossible to be in the square,

The other party is so close,

Still couldn't find any trace of the other party.

The figure of the other party is finally fully revealed,

The body is very tall,

It should be almost the same as Lu Bu's height,

But the whole body is shrouded in a wide cloak,

I can't see the actual figure at all.

The man who came took off the hood of the cloak,

showed a handsome face,

The long hair on the head was tied haphazardly with a headband,

A few strands of hair hang down,

obscuring the little half of his face,

The narrow eyes narrowed slightly,

The occasional glare exudes a dangerous aura.

The armor under the cloak is blood-red,

Deep and intense.

The most impressive thing is that

The wicked smile on the corner of his mouth,

Once you see it, you can't forget it again.

This man turned out to be a blood phoenix,

Since the last time I fought hard,

Yu Ji defected, and the Blood Phoenix and the Purple Void Master fled,

Lu Bu lost their news,

I didn't expect it to suddenly appear at this moment.

Lu Bu shook his head at Zhang Ning, who was like a great enemy,

Show that the person has no malice,

And let Zhang Ning leave here first.

Although the last time they separated,

The two sides have reached a consensus,

But Lu Bu didn't dare to take it lightly,

Now that Zuo Ci and Nanhua Lao Immortal are not there by his side,

Even the old monsters aren't here,

In the face of the blood phoenix, he was a little unsure,

If there is no one around,

Even if there is any accident,

Lu Bu is confident that he can barely fall behind with a go,

The reason why it is so pessimistic,

In fact, it is because Lu Bu understands his situation too well,

Last time I was able to gain a slight upper hand,

In fact, there are too many accidental factors,

And at that time, the blood phoenix did not return to its heyday.

Now that there are no external factors,

I can't guarantee that I will be able to achieve the state I was in at that time,

And the other party's gas engine,

It's also a lot stronger than the last time,

That's why Lu Bu is so careful.

The Blood Phoenix has obviously realized this for a long time,

For the little Jiujiu in Lu Bu's heart, it didn't break,

Naturally and calmly walked to Lu Bu's side,

After slowly sitting down,

Pick up an empty teacup on the table,

Pour yourself a cup of tea,

Said lightly:

"When the guests came, the host didn't even pour a cup of tea, so he had to be cheeky and come by himself."

Lu Bu saw the blood phoenix pouring himself a drink,

The hanging heart let go of most of it,

The other party is obviously not looking for trouble,

After the heart is relaxed,

He also sat down with a big grin,

Pouted:

"My daughter-in-law specially prepared tea for you, a villain, and sold it when it was cheap."

The blood phoenix's eyes rolled upward,

showed the whites of his big eyes and said to Lu Budao:

"Will the people of the Hereafter be as brazen as you?"

"Hey, hey, hey, it's easy to say. The main thing is the exemplary role of the predecessors who lead by example. ”

Lu Bu's sarcasm of the blood phoenix,

Unceremoniously fought back.

The evil smile at the corner of the blood phoenix's mouth deepened,

Lowered his head and drank tea and stopped talking,

After slowly drinking the tea,

He looked up again,

This time, the evil smile at the corner of his mouth converged,

"They're finally making a move."

There is a shadow between the eyebrows,

Lu Bu couldn't help but be shocked.

"Them?"

Lu Bu didn't react for a while,

Then he continued:

"Evil God Stream?"

The blood phoenix nodded solemnly,

Without waiting for Lu Bu to ask,

Directly explained:

"Some time ago, we have been tracking down Yu Ji's whereabouts. Originally, there were other hopes in his heart, but now it seems that Yu Ji has indeed cooperated with the Evil God Stream. ”

Lu Bujian's eyebrows gradually frowned,

Spoken:

"So what are you going to do? Just waiting for them to recharge? Why don't we gather masters and kill Dongying directly? By the way, destroy that bullshit village, don't you know how harmful this cancer will be in the future? ”

The blood phoenix glanced at Lu Bu deeply,

The smile on the corner of his mouth turned out to be a little bitter,

"Are you a soft persimmon that is easy to pinch over there? Let's not talk about the serious consequences caused by this, but now the other party is playing the same hand as the previous 'Pure World Action', and is not directly involved in the worldly disputes, so we can only use the same way. ”

Lu Bu was slightly stunned when he heard this,

Looking at the blood phoenix suspiciously:

"No, Dongying at this time should be far behind the Han, and the two sides don't have too many frequent exchanges......"

Suddenly Lu Bu thought of the reason,

There was anger in his eyes.

The blood phoenix smiled slightly bitterly and said:

"You guessed it right. It's Yu Ji. Yan Xing, whom you defeated in Xiliang, was one of his disciples, and you already knew that. In addition, he has several disciples, among whom are brothers from the Hanoi Sima clan......"

Blood Phoenix's words did not continue,

But Lu Bu's face has changed,

The anger in his eyes spurted out even more,

"I rely on your uncle!"

In the face of Lu Bu's rude words,

The blood phoenix didn't respond,

Lowered his head and poured himself another cup of tea,

The teapot paused in the air,

And the cup for Lu Bu was also filled with tea,

Raised the teacup and gestured to Lu Bu.

Lu Bu looked at the blood phoenix with burning eyes,

Although the other party did not have any expression on his face,

But Lu Bu knows very well,

A person of the same status as the other party,

Able to pour tea for yourself and serve tea,

This is already a sign of bowing your head,

Moreover, at that time before,

The two sides are already hostile positions,

It is also a matter of course that the other party has such a backhand.

Replaced by Lu Bu himself,

I'm afraid it's only going to do more,

He groaned for a long time,

Still picked up the teacup,

Drink it all together with the Blood Phoenix.
