Li Junxian took the talisman and expressed his loyalty again.

"Lord, Lord Heshen has arrived." A voice came from outside the hall.

"Let him in."

Lu Bu commanded, and said to Li Junxian: "You go back to rest for two days first, and when you have enough energy, you will go to the school to work." ”

"There's no need to rest, the last general will go now."

Li Junxian arched his hand and slowly withdrew from the main hall.

He Shen walked in, took a look at Li Junxian, and asked with a smile: "Lord, who is this general...?" ”

"Li Junxian, deputy commander of the Dragon Guard Army."

Li Junxian saluted He Shen and said, "I've seen my lord." ”

He Shen praised: "It's really dignified and heroic." If you want to compete in martial arts, you will be able to protect the lord. ”

"Thank you for the compliment."

"Are you okay?" Lu Bu waved his hand at Li Junxian and motioned for him to step back.

After Li Junxian left.

He Shen smiled and said, "There is something to do... Liu Bei, the king of Xiangyang, sent an envoy to say that he wanted to redeem the captured Pang De, Ma Dai, and Hu Che'er, what instructions did the lord have? ”

Lu Bu said: "Liu Bei first sent assassins to assassinate the captured generals, and now that the assassination fails, he has to redeem it, how can it be so easy?" ”

"What do you mean...?"

Lu Budao: "Double the price." Pang De, Ma Dai, and Hu Che'er, packed it for him, 300,000 stone grain. ”

"It's... It's too expensive, right? He Shen smiled bitterly: "I'm afraid that Liu Bei won't be able to take out so much food no matter what." Does negotiation still make sense? ”

"Let him pay it off in three years. Anyway, in three years, I am not going to attack Yizhou. Besides, he and Cao Cao are eyebrows, if I don't suppress him, his strength will become stronger and stronger, and it will be a disaster after all. ”

"The lord is wise."

He Shen responded: "The minister will do it immediately." ”

Fifteen days later.

Ma Jun developed the latest eight-horse chariot and asked Lu Bu to inspect it.

Perhaps it can't be called an eight-horse chariot now, because there are no horses, and they are driven by a steam engine.

Come to the Science and Technology Institute.

Lu Bu saw Ma Jun sitting at the front of the chariot, holding two iron rods in his hands.

Lu Bu asked curiously, "What do those two iron rods do?" ”

Ma Jun introduced: "Return... Back to the lord, this iron on the left... Iron rods, as long as they are pulled up, they are... You can open the steam engine... The gates make the chariot head... Go forward. And then it's okay... He can control the wheels underneath. ”

"Right... This iron rod on the right can... You can control the car on the right... Wheels. And then... And then just put... Press down the iron rod on the right, and the speed at which the car is moving forward... The speed will slow down. If two iron rods are the same... At the same time, the car will be... It stopped. ”

After listening to Ma Jun's introduction, Lu Bu smiled: "It's quite complicated. You come down first, and I'll go up and try it. ”

"No."

Lu Bu climbed to the front of the car. The front end is like a bull's head, and there is a stool inside, and sitting on the stool, you can control the two iron rods. It's like a tractor in modern times, but it's not as easy to drive as a tractor.

Lu Bu lifted the iron rod on the left, and the chariot rushed out with a swish, and the speed was fast. Lu Bu hurriedly threw the iron rod on his right down, only then did he slow down. Then he controls two iron rods and circles around the playground of the Academy of Science and Technology.

Since the wheels of the chariot were made of iron and the ground was made of broken stones, it was very vibrating when running. If it is used to carry soldiers, I am afraid that it will not last long, and the bones of the people who ride in the car will be broken apart.

But overall, it's pretty good. Being able to move a chariot with air currents is also an epoch-making feat.

After Lu Bu stopped the car, he praised: "Good job, I will definitely let the Ministry of Rites reward you well." ”

"Thanks... Thank you. ”

Lu Budao: "According to the model of this chariot, build 3,000 vehicles, and you are in charge of the inspector." If there is any unqualified, it can be corrected and modified. ”

The Institute of Science and Technology has been expanded many times by the Construction Department of the Ministry of Industry, and the scale is already quite large, even if it is 3,000 combat vehicles, it can be placed. There is no need to find another place to build it, so as not to leak the news like a three-bow crossbow.

"No."

Ma Jun responded excitedly.

By mid-September, He Shen signed an agreement with the envoy sent by Liu Bei.

The captured Pang De, Ma Dai, and Hu Che'er were all returned to Liu Bei. Liu Bei paid off 150,000 stone grains and 10 million yuan within five years, and then ceded a large area of water east of Yizhou.

He Shen told Lu Bu the news.

Lu Bu didn't say anything.

After all, the waters east of Yizhou are related to the safety of Jingzhou, and if Liu Bei is willing to use this in exchange, it will be cost-effective.

"Husband, my sisters and I have rehearsed a play, do you want to go and see it?" Da Qiao walked into Lu Bu's study.

"Okay."

Lu Bu happened to be free.

Da Qiao took out a small notebook, handed it to Lu Bu, and said, "This is the content of the play, do you want to see it first?" ”

"If you already know the content of the play, is it necessary to watch it?" Lu Bu chuckled lightly and said, "Let's keep it a little mysterious." ”

"Yes."

That night, Lu Bu and several ladies enjoyed the play in the backyard of the Assassin's Mansion.

Zhen Huan and Mi Yue also came.

The two courtyards in the back were turned into places for acting. The theatergoers sit in the room and can see the whole scene.

"Sit down."

"Yes."

Lu Bu waved his hand, and the ladies present all sat down in their seats.

"Let's go."

Diao Chan said to the people in the troupe.

Immediately, more than a dozen big flower faces entered the courtyard and began the so-called acting. Diao Chan, Mi Yue, and Xiao Qiao were all amused and giggled. Lu Bu was also laughing, but it was not the content of the laughing scene, but the scene in front of him was too naïve compared to the modern authentic play. It's like an adult listening to a child, not on one level.

Looking at it, Lu Bu felt a little disappointed...

Zhen Huan looked at him and asked, "Don't you like it?" ”

"I like it, hahaha..."

Lu Bu didn't want to ruin everyone's interest, so he pretended to smile happily.

Time passes slowly...

Until half a column after incense.

A big flower face with a spear in his hand turned over to Lu Bu. The speed of the flip was very fast, and it arrived in the blink of an eye, and then raised his spear and stabbed it into Lu Bu's chest.

Lu Bu's eyes were cold, and he held a section under the tip of the gun with his bare hands.

Several ladies next to him were stunned.

Mu Guiying was the first to react, glared at the pillar behind her, and rushed towards the big flower face.

The soldiers of the Dragon Guard standing guard in the distance shouted in horror: "There are assassins, protect the lord!" ”

"Spread out!"

Lu Bu burst into applause, got up and pulled the spear violently, pulled the big flower face over, and then punched him in the face: "TM, dare to stab at this level?" ! ”

Lu Bu jumped out and kicked the assassin in the chest, knocking him out of the courtyard.

A dozen Dragonguard soldiers came up and took down the assassin.

"Husband, are you alright?" Before Mu Guiying could rush to the assassin, the assassin had already been cleaned up by Lu Bu.

Lu Bu replied: "How can I be fine. ”

Li Junxian rushed to the scene, took down all the people who were acting, and reported to Lu Buyu: "The lord forgives the sin, and the last general will immediately interrogate these people." Be sure to find out who is behind it. ”

"Go ahead."

Lu Bu waved his hand, and Li Junxian took everyone away.

Just as the Dragonguard soldiers of the brigade left and everyone relaxed their vigilance, the real assassin arrived. There were more than thirty black-clothed warriors who climbed over the courtyard wall of the Thorn History Mansion and rushed in the direction of Lu Bu.

"And?"

Lu Bu turned around and said, "You all hide in and don't come out." Gui Ying is in charge of protecting them. ”

"Yes."

"Be careful yourself." Mu Guiying glanced at Lu Bu worriedly, and took Diao Chan, Zhen Huan, and Xiao Qiao into the back room.

"It's been a long time since I've been fighting, so I'm just loosening my muscles."

Lu Bu did two warm-up exercises, picked up the spear on the ground, and rushed towards the assassins.
