Chapter 40: Don't put yourself in danger
On the table in front of Lu Bu was the heirloom jade seal.
Chen Gong, Zhang Liao, Gao Shun and Yan Xiang and Ji Ling, who were only able to serve, sat in the hall.
After recruiting Yan Xiang and Ji Ling, it was already after midnight.
Oil lamps are lit on the lampstands on both sides of the front hall.
The light of the oil lamp dispelled the darkness, but it only cast a thin layer of yellow light over the huge front hall.
"Wen Hou really wants to go to Xudu in person?" Chen Gong was still a little worried: "In case Cao Cao's intentions are not good for Wen Hou......"
"If I provoke him, he won't let me go." Lu Bu said: "But I went to send the jade seal of the country, and swore allegiance to the Cao family, he has no reason to do anything to me." ”
"Wen Hou is brave and the martial arts are the best in the world, and Cao Cao has long been afraid." Chen Gong reminded: "It's better to be careful." ”
"I think Wen Hou can go." Yan Xiang said: "I just surrendered, it stands to reason that I shouldn't interject, if you are offended, please forgive me." ”
"Yan Gong, please speak." Lu Bu said: "Since you voted for me, of course I believe you." ”
"Wen Hou is very different from the past, if it is said that he is a descendant of the Lu family, Cao Cao will not believe it." Yan Xiang said: "The people of the world only know that Wen Hou is invincible in bravery, but they don't know what to do before joining Ding Yuan. ”
"I see what you mean." Lu Bu asked, "Do you want me to pretend to be your son or nephew?" ”
"It can also be brothers." Yan Xiang replied.
"Then brother." Lu Bu smiled: "Pretending to be your son always feels a little weird. ”
Chen Gong was still not at ease: "In case Cao Cao sees the strange ......"
"Even if someone tells Cao Cao, he won't believe that there is a rejuvenating thing in the world." Lu Bu said: "I just need to admit that Liu Shen and Yuan Shu were killed by me." What you see is not necessarily the truth, and if lies and illusions are properly coordinated, they will become facts in people's eyes! ”
"Why don't I go with Wen Hou." Zhang Liao was also uneasy.
"Wen Yuan followed, Cao Cao will be suspicious." Lu Bu said: "Apart from me, who else can accompany Wenyuan in person?" ”
Lu Bu insisted on going to Xudu in person, but Chen Gong and others could not persuade him.
Chen Gong asked, "When does Wen Hou plan to leave?" ”
"I'll leave at dawn." Lu Bu replied: "The jade seal of the country is like a fast charcoal in my hands, if you don't throw it out early, it will become a disaster sooner or later." ”
He stood up: "Gongtai, the internal affairs and affairs are all handed over to you and Yan Gong to take care of, and General Ji, together with Wen Yuan and General Gao, will organize military affairs and recruit and train new soldiers." I'll go back and take a little more rest, and when it's dawn it's time to go. ”
Everyone stood up: "Congratulations to Wen Hou!" ”
Lu Bu left the front hall, and everyone walked out one after another after him.
"How does General Ji feel about Wen Hou?" On the way back to the barracks with Ji Ling, Zhang Liao asked.
"I don't have much contact with Wen Hou, so I can't talk about it." Ji Ling replied: "Maybe you will understand more deeply in a few days." ”
"The temperature is very different now than it was in the past." Zhang Liao smiled at him: "It's really time for General Ji to serve." ”
Ji Ling was confused.
Lu Bu did return to his youth, but Ji Ling felt that his character was still as arrogant as before, and even more arrogant than in the past.
What is different about him, Ji Ling can't say.
Looking at Zhang Liao blankly, Ji Ling was silent.
"Wen Yuan doesn't need to say too much, General Ji will slowly find out in the future." Gao Shun interjected: "Wen Hou wants us to recruit soldiers and horses, and we still have to think about how to expand the army." ”
"It's still General Gao's steady." Zhang Liao responded and said to Ji Ling: "Since General Ji is in good faith, we have to support each other more!" ”
Zhang Liao and the others dispersed, and Lu Bu also returned to his and Diao Chan's room.
When you open the door and enter the house, the familiar fragrance comes to your face.
After waiting for a long time and not seeing him come back, Diao Chan was already asleep.
Removing her armor, Lu Bu lay beside her.
The sleeping Diao Chan was lying on her side, lying behind her, and Lu Bu stretched out a hand to hold her.
The palm of his hand pressed on Diao Chan's chest, and Lu Bu gently pinched it twice.
The sleeping Diao Chan felt kneaded and hummed softly.
Diao Chan didn't wake up, holding the warm fragrant nephrite in his arms, and Lu Bu also closed his eyes.
The sky was bright, Diao Chan got up early in the morning and instructed the maid to prepare water for Lu Bu to wash up.
The maid took the tooth powder that Lu Bu had brought back.
Although it does not have a rich foam like the toothpaste of later generations, the residual fragrance of tooth powder is not much inferior.
Wiping his mouth, Lu Bu said to Diao Chan behind him: "I'm going to leave for Xudu later." ”
"Go to Xudu?" Diao Chan was taken aback: "Cao Cao wants to kill his husband, wouldn't this time send sheep into the tiger's mouth?" ”
"Sending sheep into the tiger's mouth?" Lu Bu smiled indifferently: "It's not certain who is the sheep and who is the tiger, not to mention that I went this time to send benefits to Cao Cao, and he has no reason to do anything to me." ”
"It's not that there is no one under the husband." Diao Chan said: "Let Chen Gongtai go to Xudu for a trip, why do you need your husband to go in person?" ”
"Chen Gongtai offended Cao Cao in his early years, and Cao Cao hated him more than he hated me." Lu Bu said: "What could have been done, just because he went, maybe it would have become worse." ”
"Then let someone else go." Diao Chan is still very worried: "What should I ......do if something happens to my husband?"
Hugging her waist, Lu Bu pulled her to his chest: "I promised Madame, I must let you conceive a child, how can you put yourself in danger and can't extricate yourself?" ”
Snuggled in Lu Bu's arms, Diao Chan said leisurely: "The concubine is still uneasy in her body and mind......"
"When have I ever let you down?" Holding her fragrant shoulders and staring at her eyes as clear as autumn water, Lu Bu said, "I won't delay too long in Xudu, and I'll be back soon." ”
"Husband, be careful." Knowing that he couldn't persuade Lu Bu, all Diao Chan could do was to remind him.
Holding her into his arms again, Lu Bu's hand walked under her waist: "I always feel soft and tender when I hold my wife, and I don't know how good it feels." With a beauty like Madame waiting at home, I can't afford to come back. ”
With his cheek pressed against Lu Bu's chest, Diao Chan whispered, "I'm waiting for my husband at home......"
After hugging Diao Chan for a while, Lu Bu said, "It's not early, it's time for me to go." ”
"I'll send my husband." Diao Chan lowered his head and accompanied Lu Bu out of the door.
When he arrived at the door, Lu Bu said: "It's still a little cold outside, Madame is wearing thin clothes, let's go back." ”
"Husband, be careful all the way." Diao Chan owes a salute: "The concubine is not far away." ”
After saying goodbye to her, Lu Bu turned around and left.
Gazing at his tall back, Diao Chan had an inexplicable feeling in his heart.
There is sourness and bitterness.
Once a young Fanghua, she followed Lu Bu.
Since the death of Lu Bufa's wife, she became a concubine.
Lost the heart of admiring heroes when she was young, now she just wants to spend the rest of her life in peace, but the troubled times are complicated, and I don't know when Lu Bu will be able to stop the pace of the expedition and wait quietly with her.
