Walking around the bottom of the mine, Guo Tu and Cui Yan felt a lot of emotion.

When they came out of the well and looked at each other again, they couldn't help laughing.

The mine is lit only by torches, and they can distinguish each other when they look at each other.

When I went up the mine, the sun shone on my face, and the black soot covered my whole face, except for my eyes and teeth, I could see a little white, and my whole head was black.

Lu Bu, who was also covered in soot, asked the two, "What?" When you go to the mine, don't you dare to recognize each other? ”

"General Lu is really right," Guo Tu said, "How can we still recognize each other with such appearances?" ”

"The face covered in soot is not like talking." Lu Bu smiled and said to the two of them, "It's better to go to the pool and talk while bathing." ”

Guo Tu and Cui Yan agreed, and followed Lu Bu to the bath where the miners bathed.

When the baths were first built, there was a proposal to build a special place for stewards.

Lu Bu also agreed at that time.

But a few stewards in the mine felt that it was too much to do, so they didn't do that, but when they were bathing, ordinary craftsmen were not allowed to enter, and when they finished bathing, the craftsmen could go in and clean the coal ash on their bodies.

Lu Bu, Guo Tu, and Cui Yan walked into the bathhouse, except for Sun Ce who accompanied them, the steward and a group of people who accompanied them to the well could only wait outside, and only dared to go in to clean them when they finished bathing.

Stripping naked, Lu Bu came to the pool.

He first drew a basin of water from the pool and stood on the edge of the pool to wash it.

Guo Tu and Cui Yan are not rude, seeing him cleaning like this, the two of them also did the same, but Sun Ce was the only one who took care of it and did not clean it immediately.

After almost rinsing off the floating ash on his body, Lu Bu went down to the pool.

After Guo Tu and Cui Yan followed down the pool, Sun Ce scooped up the water in the basin and rinsed it.

Sitting on the edge of the pool in the same way as Lu Bu, Guo asked him, "Why didn't General Lu go directly into the pool just now, soaking here is much more refreshing than standing outside to rinse down." ”

"The water in the pool is really clear." Holding a handful of water, Lu Bu said: "When we went to the well, the workers here must have changed the water again. You know, they bring up buckets of water from each pool. We wash more carefully, so they don't have to change the water quickly, and they rinse it outside and then come down, which also saves a lot of things for the craftsmen. ”

Unexpectedly, Lu Bu could even take these into account, Cui Yan said: "General Lu is completely different from what I have heard in the past. ”

"All mouths are golden." Lu Bu said: "At the beginning, Liu Xuande said bad things about me everywhere in order to destroy me, so I fell into the notoriety of a three-surnamed domestic slave. To this day, when the world hears my name, they still can't think of the good, and this is because I have not defended it before. ”

"In the future, if someone says that the general is bad, we can defend the general." Guo Tu said on the side.

"I don't expect either of you to defend me." Lu Bu smiled: "If the two of you don't speak ill of me in front of others in the future, it will already be a great creation for me." ”

"General Lu is a remarkable person, even if we want to say bad things, I'm afraid we can't find a reason." Guo Tu said to Lu Bu: "The general can rest assured, if someone really says something about the general in front of us in the future, we will definitely correct the general's name." ”

"Actually, Guo Gong and Cui Gong have also met Liu Xuande." Lu Bu leaned against the edge of the pool, looked up at the beams of the house, and said to the two of them: "You might as well think about it, for so many years, where Liu Xuande has been, have any good things happened?" ”

Guo Tu and Cui Yan glanced at each other, and after Lu Bu's reminder, they really found out that this was the case.

But wherever Liu Bei has been, there will never be anything good.

"Liu Xuande is deceitful, and he has never known how to write the words love and righteousness." Lu Bu said: "Just because he will pretend to be kind in front of people, but he is considered by the world to be a kind elder, according to me, he is the most deceitful hypocrite in the world." ”

"The festival between General Lu and Cao Mengde seems to have been provoked by Liu Xuande." Cui Yan asked: "When the general seized Xuzhou, he annoyed Liu Xuande, I don't know why the general did that?" After all, he was the one who took you in the first place. ”

"Take in?" Lu Bu smiled coldly: "I just arrived in Xuzhou, and he pretended to give up Xuzhou." At that time, I really didn't want to ask for it, but he repeatedly gave in, so I had to accept it. I can't shirk other people's hospitality? It's a pity, I didn't expect him to be just acting like that at that time, and when I really got Xuzhou, he fought with me, and later lost his wife. The first time I protected my wife for him, I didn't expect him to say countless bad things about me in front of Cao Cao during the Battle of Xiapi, intending to put me to death. ”

What Lu Bu said were all fragments of memory that appeared in his mind, although this body had experienced it, not the soul in the body had also experienced it.

He said these things just to let Guo Tu and Cui Yan roughly understand what happened at the beginning.

Liu Bei has been able to get the impression of a generous elder for so many years, to put it bluntly, that is, he will put on a show in front of people, making people think that he is really generous, but in fact it is not like that at all.

After talking about what Lu Bu had experienced in the past, he continued: "After the Battle of Xiapi, he tried to kill Cao Cao because of the edict of his clothes, and Cao Cao saw through it, and he also wanted to take the opportunity to recapture Xuzhou from me. It's a pity that he overestimated himself and underestimated me. This time I got his two ladies again......"

"The general doesn't seem to have seen Liu Xuande later." Guo Tu asked, "Dare to ask the general, how to deal with his two wives this time?" ”

"It was indeed his wife back then, but now the two ladies are surnamed Lu." Lu Bu smiled and said to Guo Tu and Cui Yan: "Liu Xuande doesn't care about his wife, once he encounters something, he always runs first and leaves his wife to others." I thought, since he doesn't want it, then I'll take it. The two ladies are weak women, I can't just watch them wander and be indifferent? After all, I am not Liu Xuande, compared with him, I still attach great importance to affection. ”

"General Lu is really happy to do this." Guo Tu said: "When I first met Liu Xuande, I also felt that this person should not be deeply acquainted. His face really makes people feel very generous when they look at it. Often people like him who seem to be honest are very deceitful on the inside. ”

"It's still Guo Gong who understands things." Lu Bu asked Guo Tu: "Dare to ask Guo Gong, what happened when Liu Xuande abandoned the Yuan family and fled to Jingzhou?" ”

"It's completely incredible that he turned his back on the Yuan family." Mentioning Liu Bei's betrayal of the Yuan family, Guo Tu's brows furrowed slightly: "Originally, it was all good, and I don't know why, he actually ran to Qingzhou, first kidnapped some soldiers and horses from the eldest son, and then entered Mount Tai and fought a few battles with the general, and when the lord remembered to ask him where he went, he had already gone to Jingzhou." ”

"It's okay if Liu Xuande isn't in Hebei." The corners of Lu Bu's mouth provoked a smile, and said to Guo Tu and Cui Yan: "If he stays with Yuan Gong, Hebei will be very lively now." ”

"It is said that Liu Xuande went to Jingzhou, and so far it has stopped." Cui Yan said: "Maybe he hasn't found a way to pit Liu Jingsheng yet." ”

"There are many heroes in the world, and the only ones who didn't let Liu Xuande get too many benefits were Yuan Gong and Cao Cao." Lu Bu said: "Cao Cao is suspicious and has never really trusted him, and Liu Xuande did not get benefits from the Cao family, which is in my expectation." As for Yuan Gong, he is a hero in the world, with a mere Liu Xuande, how can it be easy to get too many benefits from the Yuan family? ”

"That's exactly what the general said." Guo Tu replied: "The lord is scheming, although he is open-minded, he can't give the villain a chance. ”

He changed his words and said to Lu Bu again: "Cui Gong and I came to the coal mine for coal, why did we talk about Liu Xuande?" If someone is as disgusting as him, the general should not mention him. ”

"It's okay, don't mention Liu Xuande." Lu Bu replied with a smile: "I don't know why, as soon as I mention him, he is embarrassed, so I talk a little more, and please don't blame the two of you." ”

"Liu Xuande cheated the general, and everyone in the world knows it." Cui Yan said: "It is reasonable for the general to mention his anger. ”

He then asked Lü Bu: "Dare to ask General Lü, how should the coal be transported to Hebei?" Will the general send the carriage, or will it be ......"

"The carriage that Guo Gong used to transport armor in the past can be loaded with a lot." Lu Bu said: "There is a shortage of horses in our army now, and we really can't transfer carriages......

Lü Bu obviously meant that he was unwilling to send someone to escort the coal to Hebei.

Being able to get coal, Guo Tu and Cui Yan were already satisfied, but they didn't care too much about whether he would send a carriage to send it.

Guo Tu said: "I don't see that there is much coal outside, and it is not the carriage I brought that can be loaded. Didn't General Lu say earlier that if we stay here for a few days, the general will send us how much coal will be produced? ”

Hearing what Guo Tu meant, Lu Bu laughed and asked him, "What does Guo Gong mean is to let these carriages send the coal back first, and then let them come to Pengcheng and pull the rest away?" ”

"That's exactly what it means." Guo Tu said: "Back and forth, no half a month ......"

"Guo Gong shouldn't be so troublesome." Lu Bu smiled and waved his hand: "Go back and see how much coal is hoarded outside, and then I will allocate half more to send it to Yuan Gong." ”

"What does General Lu mean that we don't have to stay here?" In fact, Guo Tu and Cui Yan didn't really want to stay in Pengcheng, after all, Yecheng was their home, and being able to return to Yecheng as soon as possible was also what they looked forward to the most.

Lu Bu also didn't want them to stay in Pengcheng.

Either of the two stayed in Pengcheng, and it would not be particularly convenient for him to lead the army to the battle.

Rather than leave one of them behind, it would be better to send them all away and send them some more coal.

"If you two want to stay, I'm absolutely welcome." Lu Bu said: "It's just that according to the status of the two of them in Hebei, staying in Pengcheng for too long, I'm afraid it will delay a lot of things." I had a very happy conversation with Guo Gong and Cui Gong, how could I be willing to watch you delay important matters? Sending more coal to Hebei is nothing, do you think that our affection is not worth the coal? ”

"It's still General Lu who understands things." Guo Tu and Cui Yan looked at each other and smiled, Guo Tu said: "When we return to Yecheng, we will definitely tell the general about the general's feelings for the lord and Hebei in front of the lord." ”

"I can have two people who speak well for me in front of Yuan Gong, and I will earn more coal for sending them." Lu Bu laughed, picked up the soap by the pool, and handed it to Guo Tu: "Guo Gong will use it first, and then I will ask someone to fetch a piece for Cui Gong." ”

Since Lu Bu came to the coal mine and taught him the process of making soap, Zhang Shiping has mass-produced this artifact that can clean dirt.

Nowadays, not only coal mines have soap to use, but also the whole Xuzhou and Yangzhou, and even the people's homes have this kind of good items for cleaning dirt.

Holding the soap, Guo Tu said: "This thing should be soap, I heard that it was spread from Xuzhou." ”

"Don't hide it, I made the soap." Lu Bu said: "I also got the soap making process by chance, and then taught it to the craftsmen, but I didn't expect it to be really easy to use after making it." ”

"It turned out to be figured out by General Lu." Guo Tu said: "No wonder it is thrown on the edge of the pond here, if it is placed in Hebei, soap is very hard to find." ”

"Since it's so expensive in Hebei, I'll have someone send a box to each of you later." Lu Bu said: "After bringing it back to Hebei, the two of you can also take it and give it away." ”

"Except for the two ......of us," Lu Bu wanted to give them soap, and Cui Yan hesitated to remind them of something.

Lu Bu patted his head: "Look at my memory, I actually forgot the third son of the Yuan family." Later I'll give two four boxes. Two of the boxes were used by the two of them, and the other two boxes, one for the third prince to carry, and the other for the wife of the Yuan family. ”

He didn't say that he wanted to give the soap to Yuan Shao, but said that he wanted to give it to Mrs. Liu, Guo Tu and Cui Yan were stunned for a moment, and then they both smiled heartily.

The previous perception of Lu Bu was really wrong.

He not only knows how to be a person, but even does it to the extreme.

The soap was given to Yuan Shao, and he also used it to distribute to his wife and concubines in the back house.

Instead of giving Yuan Shao a favor, it is better to give the soap directly to Mrs. Liu.

As the head of Yuan Shao's mansion, Mrs. Liu is still somewhat useful in talking a lot of times, and if she pleases Mrs. Liu, Lu Bu will be much smoother in Hebei in the future.

"What Chu Hou gave to his wife, I will personally send it when I return to Hebei." Guo Tu said: "In front of my wife, I will also say a few good words for Chu Hou. ”

"That's the best." Lu Bu said with a smile: "When you leave the coal mine, the two of you should also prepare and take all the coal here with you." ”
