"yes." Cao Cao let out a sigh of relief and patted the woman's shoulder: "If it weren't for her, I wouldn't have been able to come back from the formation at that time, I really don't know how to repay her." ”

"How else would you be lucky?" The woman covered her mouth and smiled, and got up to fill Cao Cao's tea bowl again.

"Hahaha." Cao Cao laughed.

looked at the hall and said with feeling.

"It is true that I am lucky and lack virtue, but I can get so many people to help me······"

As he spoke, he looked at the woman, slowly reached out and patted hers, gently wrapping his arms around her shoulders.

"Mr. Gu's learning can be a national scholar, and he is like a Bole to me."

Leaning on the woman's body wearily, he murmured.

"In such a troubled world, I don't know how long I can protect you, if something happens to me, with Mr. Gu and Yuan letting them be there, I can rest assured of you."

"Zi Wei has just become an adult, Zihuan and Zijian are still young, you can't ignore it." The woman shook his hand and said earnestly.

"Well, it won't." Cao Cao replied in a whisper.

He looked at the woman in his arms and only dared to smile quietly, and did not dare to show anything else, it should be like every husband and father.

But in such a world, who knows? Which day will die in which place.

There was no righteousness when he raised troops to fight against thieves, nor did he have the determination to pursue Dong Zhuo.

He was like an ordinary person at this time, just hugging his wife lightly and not saying a word, containing all the things he wanted to say.

It's about to fall at night, and the curfew in the city will not let people pass anymore, but Gu Nan has Cao Cao's writings, so he can enter the city.

In front of the house, the guards in front of the door have already retreated, or the door will be closed soon, and the guards will not be on duty outside the door at night.

A maid was standing in front of the door, lighting a lantern and holding a stick with a lamp on it, trying to hang it on the eaves.

On one side of the street, a man in a white suit led a little girl towards the front of the house.

Walking to the front of the house, the man in white saw the maid hanging the lamp and stopped.

"There is no one at night, what is the girl doing with the lamp in front of the door?"

The maid paddled her feet, and the wooden stick on which the lamp hung still did not touch the eaves.

When I heard a voice behind me, I thought it was a passerby returning home, and someone had asked about such a thing before.

Without looking back, he continued to raise the stick a little higher.

"The gentleman at home has not returned from abroad, so the general asked me to light a lamp in front of the door, and if the gentleman comes back at night, it will be nice to clear the road."

The voice behind him paused, then chuckled.

"It's so late, and it's hard for you, your general is really unkind."

"What's the hard work?" The wooden stick in the maid's hand finally touched the eaves of the door, and hung the lantern on it, breathing a sigh of relief.

"The general and the gentleman have treated me very well."

This house is much better than other places, and the general is not harsh on his subordinates, and she has met the gentleman who has not returned, and when she poured tea for him, he also said thank you to her.

The maid turned her head and saw a man in white with a girl.

"Sir?"

"Huh." Gu Nan led Lingqi to the door: "I'm back too, you can rest early." ”

"Yes, yes." The maid should be shy, and nodded in a panic: "I'll go tell the general." ”

With that, he trotted back to the house.

Gu Nan stood in front of the door and raised his head, looking at the lamp.

The lamp shook a few times, illuminating the door underneath.

Lingqi also raised her head and suddenly said, "Master, my house used to have a lamp in front of the door." ”

"Oh, who are you waiting for?"

"Wait for my dad."

"Really?"

······

Li Ru walked from outside the courtyard with a book, and halfway through, he happened to meet Lu Bu.

I saw that Lu Bu's face was ugly, with a little evil in his eyes, and the guards on both sides didn't dare to make a sound.

Even when he looked at it, there was a chill in his heart, and he glanced at the direction Lu Bu was coming from, he should have just walked out of the courtyard where Xiangguo was.

Isn't there something wrong with this look?

Li Ru's eyes moved slightly, and he stepped forward to stop Lu Bu.

"General, but you just came back from Xiangguo?"

was blocked by Li Ru, Lu Bu stopped, glanced at him, and finally responded in a deep voice: "Hmm." ”

"Look at the general, but what's wrong?"

You can't blame Li Ru for being careful, at this time, the situation is preliminary, if there is a gap between Lu Bu and Dong Zhuo, it is very likely that something will go wrong.

Now that the princes of the Central Plains are fighting, they only need to stabilize Chang'an, but if they make mistakes internally, I am afraid it will be a big deal.

Lu Bu's eyes narrowed, obviously he didn't mean to answer, he just said, "I have something to do, so I'll leave first." ”

bypassed Li Ru and left.

Li Ru stood in place, looking back at the direction Lu Bu left, he had a very bad premonition in his heart.

Holding the book in his hand, Li Ru pondered it for a moment and walked towards the courtyard.

"Xiangguo, Lang Zhongling asks to see you."

The guard stood beside Dong Zhuo and said.

Dong Zhuo was eating the fruit, and when he heard the guard's words, his hand stopped: "Li Ru? ”

"Let him in."

"Yes."

Li Ru walked in from outside the courtyard with the text, crossed the stone bridge, and walked in front of Dong Zhuo.

"What's the matter with you?" Dong Zhuo leaned back in his seat and asked flatly.

Li Ru glanced at Dong Zhuo, and saw a bit of coldness on his face.

He handed over the text in his hand: "There are some things in the DPRK and China that need to be seen by the country." ”

"Hmm." Dong Zhuo stretched out his hand: "Take it." ”

Putting the text in his hand, Li Ru lowered his head and considered it.

"Xiangguo, when I entered the courtyard just now, I saw Wen Hou leaving, his face was ugly, I don't know what happened?"

Holding the book, Dong Zhuo didn't look through it, but threw it on the table.

Li Ru has always been a planner under him, and when asked about this matter, Dong Zhuo was not surprised.

told Li Ru the whole story, and Dong Zhuo looked at him.

"Do you think Lu Bu can still be trusted?"

Li Ru also frowned at this time, and thought for a long time before saying.

"Xiangguo, just because of this, it is too rash to conclude that Wen Hou has two hearts."

"At this time, the situation is unstable, and if Xiangguo is estranged from Wen Hou at this time, he will be used by people with intentions. It should have a stable relationship with Wen Hou, as for that Diao Chan, if Wen Hou wants it, what if Xiangguo gives it to him? ”

"Xiangguo should focus on the overall situation."

Dong Zhuo raised his eyebrows and waved his hand: "I know, you go down." ”

As for whether he listened to Li Ru's words or not, no one knows.

However, Dong Zhuo at least believed that he definitely didn't feel wrong about Lu Bu's killing intent towards him just now.

He couldn't let anyone murderous at his side of him.
