There was nothing to say all night, and after everyone had breakfast the next day, Liu Tong called Cheng and Liu Aya aside alone. Seeing this, Long Jun could only eat hard, his head was almost lowered to the porridge bowl, and all the girls were full of suspicion, and the Long Nuo sisters and brothers even looked in the direction of Liu Tong and the others, like the big eyes of the stars, constantly looking back and forth at Long Jun and Liu Tong. When Liu Tong and the three returned, Cheng's face couldn't see anything, but Liu Aya's face was extremely different, and she kept giving Long Jun a thumbs up, if it weren't for the appearance of gritting her teeth, I'm afraid everyone would think that she was praising Long Jun.

After the meal, before Long Jun escaped from the front hall, Liu Aya called Long Jun to the martial arts arena in Fuzhong on the grounds of practice. And the women didn't think much about it, everyone knew that Liu Aya had been taking care of the child since she gave birth, and she didn't have time to practice martial arts at all, and the guards in the house were not her opponents, and it was normal for Long Jun to come back and have a fight between the two. However, only Liu Tong and Cheng know that after this discussion, Long Jun will definitely have a blue nose and swollen face for a few days, and it will last for many days!

Sure enough, when Long Jun came back, his two eyes had all turned into panda eyes, his cheeks were swollen and high, his face was blue and purple, and his voice became hoarse, and everyone who watched it was very distressed. The two children looked at Liu Aya's eyes, and instantly covered with a hint of fear, what a good skill it is to be able to beat the world's number one military general like this! Hit his husband so hard, what a ruthless person!

So, Long Jun left the Hou Mansion in everyone's thoughts and walked towards the Chen Mansion on Jinyang Street. Nowadays, the mansions before and after Jinyang Street are basically occupied by Long Jun, and this Chen Mansion is the place where the Chen Gong family is placed. Since Xu Chu and Long Huwei were both on the front line, when Long Jun appeared in the Chen Mansion, the guards at the door didn't recognize Long Jun with a purple face for a while, but fortunately, Long Jun, who could prove his identity, stayed with him, otherwise the guards at the door would definitely drive him away!

After entering the Chen Mansion, Long Jun waved his hand and sent off the attendants who followed. He immediately inquired about the location of the study, and walked towards the study under the strange eyes of the servants of the Chen Mansion. When he arrived at the study, he happened to meet Chen Gong walking out. So, he waved his hand at Chen Gong and said with a smile, "Long time no see, Gongtai, how are you doing lately?" ”

At first, Chen Gong didn't recognize who the guy in front of him was, but after he saw the ring on Long Jun's hand, Chen Gong greeted Long Jun politely, and then raised his hand and waved to the study, and said with a strange face, "Master Hou, please come to the study to talk about it!" ”

After Long Jun smiled and motioned to skip Chen Gong and walk towards the study, Chen Gong took the book in his hand into his arms, and then followed Long Jun back to the study. In fact, when Long Jun returned to Chang'an, Chen Gong got the news from Guo Jia, originally thought that Long Jun would come a few days late, but he didn't expect that the other party would come to his house to talk to him just after accompanying his wife and children, which made Chen Gong's view of Long Jun change a lot. In fact, for the solicitation of Guanzhong, Chen Gong is not raising his own value, but he doesn't ask about some words, and there will always be a thorn in his heart, which makes him feel at ease in the future!

After the two entered the study, Chen Gong didn't put anything on the shelf, and hurriedly took out the good tea that Su Rili had drunk. And Long Jun didn't show the appearance of a corporal Lixian, he looked at it very unruly, this poke, that stroll, it was almost like reading the books that Chen Gong read on weekdays. Chen Gong laughed and laughed, with a helpless look.

"Well, the study is good, you have all the books of the Spring and Autumn Qin and Han Dynasties, and you don't lack even the stories of the city, it seems that Fengxiao and they are thinking about you!" Putting the book back on the shelf, Long Jun turned his head to look at Chen Gong and smiled, "How is it, is Chang'an still comfortable?" Is there anything you want to do but can't do? If you have one, you might as well take advantage of me to come over today and tell me, I will let people do it for you, and you will be secretly sad in the bottom of your heart! ”

When Chen Gong heard this, he turned his back to Long Jun's body and was slightly stunned, then sighed lightly, put down the teapot in his hand, and laughed at himself, "What is there that you want to do but can't do?" Since Master Hou has come, how can the so-called things in the heart of the public platform be things? It's just that I want to ask Master Hou a few questions, otherwise I'll always be holding it back, and anyone will feel uncomfortable looking at me. I don't know if it is convenient for Hou Ye today? Can you have a chat with the public station over tea? ”

Hearing Chen Gong's words, Long Jun sneered, walked to the guest seat, sat there, rubbed his cheeks, and teased, "You see what you asked, you said that since I came, those things are not a matter." So what's convenient and inconvenient for me? In short, I will answer whatever you ask Chen Gongtai today. Even if you are embarrassed to ask, I will definitely know everything and answer all the doubts in your heart! ”

Seeing that Long Jun's expression did not seem to be fake, Chen Gong chuckled, then walked back to the main seat, took out a suicide note that Lu Bu had written to him from the desk, handed it to Long Jun, and asked with a straight face, "Before the battle with the Hou Ye, my lord called me to the mansion, so that I could assist you with peace of mind after his death." As you must know, I have admired the so-called loyal ministers all my life, and when I heard this news, of course I would not allow it. But before I could say anything, my lord knocked me unconscious and tied me up. After the end of the Taiyuan War, I found this letter in my arms, but this letter did not explain the reason why the lord chose you, but only instructed me to do it according to his will. What happened in this is still for Hou Ye to tell you below. ”

Picking up the letter that Chen Gong put on the coffee table, Long Jun glanced at the words 'Gongtai Qinqi', then opened the secret letter and read it carefully in front of Chen Gong. Then he put the letter back on the coffee table, looked at Chen Gong and smiled, "Actually, it's nothing, before the last battle, I invited Lu Bu to meet at Yanlingpo, you should know about this." During the meeting, I wanted to give Lu Bu a perfect ending, satisfy his desire to fight with me, and save all of you at the same time. But instead of complying with my arrangement, he chose a path that would have been exchanged for his life. ”

After a pause, Long Jun saw that Chen Gong's face showed a contemplative expression, and he continued, "At first, I didn't understand why Lu Bu chose this path, until I sent the Yan family's mother and daughter and Mrs. Liu away from the state, and through the conversation with them, I understood why Lu Bu chose this way!" When I invited Lu Bu at the beginning, in order to get him to accept my proposal, I analyzed the general situation of the world to him in the letter, and apologized for the incident of Guanzhong sending troops to merge with the state. Maybe it was these words that prompted him to choose the path that no one wanted him to take! ”

The letter that Long Jun invited Lu Bu to meet was handed over to Lu Bu by Chen Gong, so he had also read it, and there was nothing wrong with what Long Jun said in the letter, could there be anything else that Chen Gong couldn't detect? I couldn't figure out what the difference was in that letter, so Chen Gong was puzzled, "I have seen and read that letter, and there is nothing wrong with it, and even I feel that Hou Ye's analysis of the battle situation and the general trend of the world is very pertinent, how can my lord be?"

Without waiting for Chen Gong to finish speaking, Long Jun shook his head and explained, "If I hadn't thought anything before, but Lu Bu once said to the Yan family, 'Hold the Son of Heaven to order the princes, it seems that the scenery is infinite, but in fact they step into the abyss', this sentence was said after the Son of Heaven disappeared from Jinyang Palace. Now you understand what that means? ”

Hearing this, Chen Gong nodded in a daze. It is good for the Son of Heaven to order the princes, but there are also hidden evils, and anyone who intends to take over the Son of Heaven will inevitably use the head of the subordinate army of the state army to show his loyalty to the Son of Heaven. If the Son of Heaven of Jinyang Palace is not lost, it is good that after Lu Bu is defeated, in order to recover the heart of the Bingzhou army, several princes can push the responsibility to Lu Bu in front of the Son of Heaven, but once the Son of Heaven is lost, the princes have no way to explain to the world, then all the generals of the Bingzhou Army will be sitting. At that time, it will not be a relationship between one or two, but the entire Merge State Army will be completely dragged into the abyss.

"As for why he chose me, I'm afraid it has something to do with my intention to fulfill him. At that time, the Bingzhou Army was full of hostility to the Guanzhong Army and at the same time with a sense of gratitude, so the Bingzhou Army and the Guanzhong Army were integrated together, and there would be no situation of unloading the mill and killing the donkey, and I would also take care of his wife and daughter on his help to me. At this point, Long Jun got up and walked to the door of the study to look at the clear sky, with a smile on his face.

"Guanzhong will choose to send troops and annex the state, in fact, we have known for a long time. However, at that time, Cao Cao and Yuan Shao were too pressed, and we could not deploy in the west. After saying some inexplicable words, Chen Gong stood up straight, stared at Long Jun's back, and asked word by word, "And what I want to ask next, in addition to why the lord chose to die, there is another thing that Hou Ye needs to tell the truth!" At the beginning, if Guanzhong and Bingzhou joined hands, they might not be able to divide the world equally, why did Hou Ye choose to be the enemy of Bingzhou? Is it because of your relationship with my father-in-law? ”

Long Jun, who was facing away from Chen Gong, first shook his head when he heard this, then nodded, and explained inexplicably, "There is part of the reason, but most of the reason is that if Guanzhong wants to expand, there must be a direction. At that time, we had three choices, in addition to sending troops and annexing the state, it was a choice to go south to Yizhou to seize Shu, or choose to raid Jingzhou and divide the world into two to sit and watch the Kwantung princes conquer. However, when choosing the direction of sending troops, it happened to catch up with the political reform in Guanzhong, and if I want to complete this matter, I must hold the Son of Heaven, otherwise I will be no different from Wang Mang. ”

Getting such a reason from Long Jun, Chen Gong smiled with relief, he was clear about the reform of Guanzhong's political affairs and the state from beginning to end, but he didn't expect that Guanzhong would send troops to merge with the state There was such a reason in it. Immediately, Chen Gong walked to Long Jun's side and thanked him, "Thank you Lord Hou for solving my doubts, otherwise these questions have been blocked in my heart, and I am very uncomfortable!" Although the lord is arrogant, he is really good to our subordinates, if you don't know the truth about his choice to die, I'm afraid I will live in self-blame for the rest of my life! ”

"You think too much, Lu Bu never needs to be thanked by others, he is him, arrogant or humble, for him that is his way of dealing with the world. Since he finally chose to sacrifice him for the sake of you, you must live well. Go and accomplish the great thing he has always wanted to accomplish for him. ”

"Got it down!" After thinking about it, Chen Gong turned around, bowed to Long Jun, and said, "Dongjun Chen Gongtai has seen the lord!" ”
