The next day, Lu Bu rushed to Wang Yun's mansion in a hurry, and the monkey was anxious to find Miss Diao Chan for a short time.

Wang Yun welcomed Lu Bu into the mansion with a slightly embarrassed expression. Lu Bu didn't notice it, and asked, "Where is Miss Diao Chan?" ”

"This ........"

"Why is Wang Situ so divided?" Lu Bu finally realized that something was wrong and asked, "Isn't something wrong?" ”

Wang Yun hesitated for a while, and finally couldn't resist Lu Bu's questioning, and sighed: "The general summoned Diao Chan over, and I don't know if I can come back today, but I can't meet with the general." ”

Lu Bu was stunned at first, and then furious, "Chen Cheng is really a bully!" ”

Wang Yun was overjoyed in his heart, but there was a worried look on his face, and he said, "I heard that the general is lustful and ........"

Seeing that Lu Bu's face darkened, Wang Yun said again: "But it's really just a little bit of a Diao Chan to dance, General Lu don't think too much." ”

Lu Bu said stupidly: "Is there really a man who only watches singing and dancing?" I see ........."

He stood up angrily, arched his hand at Wang Yun indiscriminately, and said perfunctorily: "Wang Situ, I'll go back first!" ”

Looking at Lu Bu's angry figure, a smile appeared on Wang Yun's face.

Lu Bu rode a red rabbit horse, stepped on the thick snow, walked around the street, and before he knew it, he turned to the vicinity of the general's mansion, that is, in front of the Weiyang Palace. He looked hatefully at the area cut off by the wall, and his heart was full of anger. He has always been the only one who robbed other people's wives, but he didn't expect that now his fiancée was robbed by others.

There was the sound of silk and bamboo in the general's mansion, and there seemed to be a faint sound of graceful singing. Lu Bu's anger was even greater, he imagined the scene of Chen Cheng watching the song and dance, while holding Diao Chan in his arms and showing wanton pity, he couldn't help but want to rush in and chop off Chen Cheng's dog head with a knife.

But he didn't do that, because he didn't dare.

Seeing that someone seemed to be looking over, Lu Bu pulled the reins hatefully and shouted, "Drive!" ”

He still has a few concubines at home, and he can't do Diao Chan, so it's good to go back and do something else.

Although there is the sound of silk and bamboo orchestras in the General's Mansion, and there are also light songs and dances, there are no scenes imagined by Lu Bu. After Chen Cheng married all the maids in the house, there was no band and dance troupe. But Zhongshu Ling Yan Zhong had already bought a batch of girls from the Western Regions, who had been training for several years, and were waiting to be sent to Chen Cheng.

I don't know what he did it for.

Chen Cheng naturally doesn't need a maid, but Liu Qian, the princess of Wannian, prefers gorgeous costumes, big pomp, and prefers to watch singing and dancing at home when she has nothing to do. Those orchids Chen Cheng didn't want it, but Princess Wannian smiled happily. Of course, the money that should be given still has to be given, and she is not bad for money anyway.

Now the people dancing in the lobby are all girls with exotic styles. Some of them are pure-blooded Westerners, and some are products of mixed Chinese and foreign blood. These girls are not very old, only thirteen or fourteen years old, and most of them are graceful and beautiful.

Diao Chan and Zi Jia'er are surrounded by many orchids, singing softly and dancing in a dizzying way.

"Send the acacia to the bright moon, hoping that you will notice;

I will write you poems and send you thousands of miles to innocence!

You are dreaming of the crescent moon, and then there will be joys and sorrows;

You are the wind that dyes the maple leaves red, so that my thoughts will be all over the mountains;

You are soaked in tears and the first snow, and you will be like leaving people to come and go, fluttering and swaying;

You are the one you dyed red by the years. Change my world in black and white without words! ”

This song "Sending the Bright Moon" is what Chen Cheng used to like very much, not only the song is good, but the dance is also very good-looking. Now Zi Jia'er and Diao Chan are leading the dance, which fully expresses the charm of singing and dancing, so that Chen Cheng, who is sitting in the top position, has a feeling of time and space change, and he doesn't know what time and night it is.

Such an amazing song and dance made Liu Qian dizzy, but for Chen Cheng, it was still a little worse. What caught his eye was a young and beautiful girl, but he seemed to see a scene in another time and space. For the rest of the world, he's just a passerby.

Liu Qian turned her head to look at Chen Cheng, and when she saw that his expression was a little strange, she asked, "Master, do you remember what happened before?" ”

"Yes."

Liu Qian took his hand, covered it on her palm, and said, "Don't think about anything else, just think about me." ”

Chen Cheng smiled on his face, pinched her soft, and said, "Okay! ”

After singing a song "Sending the Bright Moon", the orchids bowed and saluted, ready to retire for a while. Liu Qian stopped them and said, "Dance well, each person will be rewarded with ten yuan!" ”

The orchids bowed again and said, "Thank you, Your Royal Highness Princess for your reward." ”

It has always been a thousand dollars, and ten times is ten thousand dollars. There were no less than fifteen girls dancing just now, that is, 150,000 yuan, which is almost enough to arm a soldier who is trapped in the camp. Chen Cheng earns more, but he also spends more. One hundred and fifty times is not much, but he rarely spends it in these places, and when he saw that Liu Qian casually rewarded so much money to go out, he shook his head and said, "This is too expensive." ”

Liu Qian pursed her lips, revealing the attitude of a child, and said, "This is my money!" ”

Chen Cheng has always been reasonable, "That's what he said." ”

Money is money only when it is circulated, and it is just a pile of metal in the warehouse. Until an era comes, no matter how much productivity progresses, it will never be enough. It is a question whether hard work and economy should be encouraged, or whether everyone should be encouraged to consume ahead of time.

For the state, of course, it is better to consume ahead of time, but not necessarily for the individual.

Chen Cheng was thinking about it, and the orchids had already rested for a quarter of an hour, and then walked up again. The sound of the silk bamboo orchestra and the chorus of the girls sounded again, going up the beam for a long time. Hearing these cheerful, relaxed, familiar and unfamiliar songs, he felt that his mood was much better.

Of course, this world is hard and cold, but it can't stop us from looking for warmth.

After staying with Diao Chan for dinner, Liu Qian and Zi Jia'er reluctantly sent Diao Chan to the door. They all like this Wang Situ's daughter very much, not only is she good-looking, but she is also good at singing and dancing. When Diao Chan sings and dances, her face shines with radiance, as if she is the center of the world.

Zi Jia'er won't talk about it, although Liu Qian is a girl, she can't help but want to be close to Diao Chan.

In the evening, after Diao Chan returned to Wang Situ's mansion, he was soon called over by Wang Yun for questioning.

"You went to the General's Mansion today, did you see Thief Chen?"

Diao Chan bowed to the ground and said, "Although I have seen it, the general is awe-inspiring, and the slave family does not dare to look at it more." ”

Wang Yun asked, "Then what kind of person do you think you think Chen Thief is when you see Chen Thief today?" ”

Diao Chan replied, "General..... The soldiers are like Sun Wu, but they are strong in martial arts, and they like to take the lead when they fight. ”

"Hmph, I'm asking you what you think of him as a person, not how he is fighting!"

Diao Chan lowered his head and replied, "I don't know. ”

"Don't know?"

"After watching the song and dance, the general went to the stable, and the slave family didn't have a chance to talk to him, so I don't know what kind of person he is."

Wang Yun looked at Diao Chan and sneered: "You are so beautiful, Chen Thief has never been moved?" But I don't believe it! ”

Diao Chan lowered his head and remained silent.

Wang Yun said: "Don't worry, the coming day is long, let's wait and see!" ”

As the days passed, the snow gradually thickened and then thinned again. It seems that it is just a blink of an eye, and it has already reached the second year of Xingping. On this day, Liu Qian woke up from Chen Cheng's arms, she looked at the spring rain outside the hall, and was in a good mood, so she reached out and scratched Chen Cheng's chin, and said, "Master, when you see such a good scenery, don't you have anything to say?" Poetry or something, say a few words. ”

Chen Cheng was still thinking about the news reported by Wang Yue, Wang Yun and the others were getting bigger and bigger, not only secretly storing the dead, but also preparing militaristic weapons such as rhubarb crossbows and steel armor. At this point, it's almost time to close the net.

He said to Liu Qian casually: "Didn't you say don't call me master?" Why is it still called that? ”

Liu Qian said unconvinced: "When I call you that in bed, I don't see you objecting!" ”

Chen Cheng was stunned for a moment, then shook his head. Liu Qian shook his arm and said, "Say, say, if I am satisfied, I will call Zijia'er at night, and the three of us will sleep together!" ”

"Nonsense, what's that going on? By the way, Zi Jia'er is also thirteen years old, does she have anyone she likes? If there is, I will marry her off next year. ”

"Zi Jia'er and I are best friends, and I have promised to live together forever!"

Chen Cheng was overwhelmed by Liu Qian's whimsy, so he casually recited two lines of poetry, "The rivers and mountains are full of empty thoughts, and the falling flowers and wind and rain hurt the spring even more, it is better to pity the people in front of you." ”

When Liu Qian heard this, her eyes lit up, and she read it twice, then jumped up from Chen Cheng's arms and said, "I like it very much, so I'll go tell Zi Jia'er!" ”

"Hey ........"

Chen Cheng was about to say something, but Liu Qian had already stepped on the floor and ran away. He shook his head, thinking about the court and the local affairs. Zhao Yun led more than 10,000 tooth soldiers to be stationed in Hedong for a whole winter, and he and Xu Rong would soon attack the Huns. These two people are famous generals, and they are carrying the most elite troops, Chen Cheng is not worried.

But beyond that, there's so much to worry about.

On the battlefield of the Central Plains, after Cao Cao and Yuan Shao reconciled as before, they were relieved of their worries and stared at Liu Bei to chase and fight. Last winter, the Yanzhou soldiers withdrew. After the beginning of spring, he made a comeback and once again killed under the city of Xiapi. This time, even Liu Bei was trapped in the city.

The imperial court had already issued an order for Huangfu Song's troops to go out of the Tiger Prison Pass, make a gesture of attacking Yanzhou, and gave orders to Liu Biao and Liu Miao to send troops to rescue Liu Bei. However, Huangfu Song had already died at the end of last year, and after the beginning of spring, it is said that his condition not only did not improve, but worsened a lot.

Therefore, Huangfu Song doesn't have to expect too much along the way. Moreover, even if Huangfu Song is in good health, there is nowhere to supply the hundreds of miles from Hongnong to Hujiaoguan, and there is no people to help transport grain and grass, and it is not realistic or cost-effective to threaten Cao Cao's hometown from here. Instead of joining the battlefield in the Central Plains, it is better to take advantage of the time when Zhang Lu and Liu Zhang are pinching up, and occupy Hanzhong and Shuzhong first.
