"Wouldn't it be ...... if she had been by your side and taught by you, and then she grew up to Wan'er's age?"

Lu Ren glanced at Guo Jia obliquely, and said with a wicked smile: "You can also see it?" But seriously, I plan to help Zixiu cultivate this little girl first, and Zixiu also likes this little girl. Did you see the jade ring around her neck? That was given to her by Zixiu when he was leaving. ”

"I'll rely on ......," Guo Jia pointed at Lu Ren speechlessly, and then shook his head.

Lu Ren smiled and pointed to the carriageway: "Okay, don't talk nonsense with you here, it's not good for the children inside to read." When I met you, I sent someone back to tell Wan'er that Wan'er could prepare some good wine and food to entertain you. This time, I made the wine when I was busy, and now I take it out and cook it to be mellow! In a word, are you going or not? ”

"Don't go...... That's weird! ”

A few moments later, in the pavilion in the backyard of the Lu Mansion, Lu Ren and Guo Jia sat opposite each other and talked about some inconsequential things. As they talked, the topic of the two turned to Cao Cao's attack on Wancheng this time. When Lu Ren mentioned that he had warned Cao Cao, Cao Ang, and Dian Wei, Guo Jia frowned and asked, "How do you think that Zhang Xiu is unlikely to surrender sincerely?" ”

Lu Ren raised his head and thought hard for a long time, but he could only shake his head, after all, there were some things that Lu Ren couldn't say, like the Zou family, Lu Ren had never said to Cao Cao before: "Actually, I can't say it clearly, maybe it's just a feeling of mine...... I think there is still a Jingxiang Liu Biao behind the current Zhang Xiu, after all, Liu Biao accepts Zhang Xiu and wants Zhang Xiu to be a watchdog in Jingbei. If Liu Biao aided embroidery in time, Zhang Xiu would not be without the strength to fight...... Anyway, I am reminding Cao Gong to be as careful as possible and not to get carried away because of victory. Isn't it true that there is no big mistake in being careful? ”

Guo Jia played with the wine glass in his hand and groaned, "How did you admonish the lord?" ”

"Bitter mouth! After persuading Cao Gong, I also persuaded Dian Wei and Cao Zixiu. Especially Zixiu, you also know that I have a good relationship with Zixiu, and he can listen to what I say. ”

Guo Jia's brows furrowed a little, and he pondered for a long time before he said: "If it is really untrue as you said, and you are admonishing the lord like this, I am afraid that it will ...... The lord should have a big mistake! ”

Lu Ren exclaimed: "Won't it? Even if Cao Gong can't listen to me, there are still Dian Wei and Zi Xiu! ”

Guo Jia shook his head lightly and said, "Although you have been out of office for several years, you have not had much contact with the lord, and you don't know much about the lord's personality. Although you know that the lord can think about defeat and forget when he wins, you still don't know what the lord's heart is.

"Dian Wei is a brave man, and he has a bold heart, but he is a little less hearty, and he will not take your words to heart. As for the eldest son's cultivation, although Zixiu is quite paternal and can listen to what you say, after all, when he is young, there will always be something that causes him to be inconsiderate...... Jia Xu is ruthless and vicious, which is unguardable, and I am not sure that he will be his opponent! If he really set up a poisonous plot to plot the lord, I think even if you exhort him more, he will still be found by Jia Xu...... That's it, now I just hope that Zhang Xiu is sincere in surrendering, otherwise the consequences will be unpredictable! ”

Just like Guo Jia's analysis now, Jia Xu's ability to exploit loopholes is not ordinarily strong, and Lu Ren and Guo Jia don't know at this time that Jia Xu only used one Zou to make Cao Cao completely relax his vigilance. Lu Ren, what if you persuade more? Cao Cao, who was fascinated by his voice and did not see his staff for several days, was already in a plot but still didn't know it!

Lu Ren's description of Cao Cao as "victorious and forgetful" is not unfounded nonsense. It's also funny to say, Cao Cao said that he and Liu Bei are contemporaneous heroes, and these two heroes have made big mistakes here in Beauty Pass. Cao Cao was lost in the Zou family, and Liu Bei was lost in the boudoir of Sun Shangxiang in Eastern Wu, the problem is that Liu Bei woke up with the reminders of Zhuge Liang and Zhao Yun, but Cao Cao in the Battle of Wancheng did not have anyone by his side who could not remind him - isn't this Guo Jia still drinking and chatting with Lu Ren here in Xuchang?

After listening to Guo Jia's words, Lu Ren suddenly felt a chill in his heart, and vaguely felt that he seemed to have done something wrong, but where was the mistake and where did Lu Ren have a clue? The wine glass in his hand was gently put back on the table, Lu Ren raised his head to the sky, and secretly prayed in his heart: "God, don't play with me anymore!" Cao Cao and Cao Ang must not have any accidents! What if something happens to these two...... Why don't you just send a thunderbolt and kill me! Played by you like this, I will be played by you sooner or later! ”

Things do not turn out the way you want! Two days later, when Lu Ren went to Shangshu Mansion to discuss politics with Xun Yu, Wancheng Meteor Ma suddenly reported that he had arrived.

"What!? Wancheng was defeated, and Cao Gong escaped on horseback? The eldest prince and Dian Wei both died in battle for the savior!? ”

This news was like a thunderbolt that almost knocked Lu Ren unconscious on the spot. After standing for a long time, Lu Ren came back to his senses and said to himself in his heart: "This, this...... How is this different from the original history? Could it be that I reminded so carefully that the result was only ...... Is there a section missing Cao Ang Feng Ma!? ”

The next day, Cao Cao gathered the defeated army and returned to Xuchang. And after coming back, Cao Cao immediately rewarded two people, first Yu Ban, who stabilized Cao Cao's position in the chaos, and then Lu Ren.

In the conference hall, Lu Ren was stunned when he looked at the reward sent by the waiter, and Cao Cao also explained to everyone in a timely manner:

"When Lone was leaving, Yihao made a special trip to advise Lonely, saying that although Lone had gained power after welcoming the Son of Heaven, he had been arrogant under the situation, and he should be cautious and cautious. It's a pity that the lonely Yihao's words, Wancheng was arrogant after Zhang Xiu's surrender, and was finally defeated by Zhang Xiu. Defeat should be thought about and reward the Magi, so there are some rewards now, and it is not difficult to say that you hope that the queen will be the queen. ”

Lu Ren was not a fool, and he knew that Cao Cao was rewarding himself now, which was actually the same in nature as Cao Cao rewarded those who advised Cao Cao not to fight that battle after he succeeded in conquering Karasuma. It's just that the current Lu Ren would rather not want these rewards, because Cao Ang is dead.

Lu Ren admits that he has always had the idea of "hugging his thighs" for Cao Ang, but aside from these utilitarian hearts, Cao Ang is indeed a friend worth making deeply. Yes, Cao Ang once thought about Wan'er, but Cao Ang knew how to advance and retreat, and consciously quit to become Wan'er's "spare tire". Not to mention in ancient times, even in modern society, it is rare for two men to fall in love with a woman at the same time? And the one who knows how to do it and can back down is not worth making friends?

Throughout the meeting, Lu Ren was speechless for a long time, and Lu Ren didn't want to take a second look at the money sent by Cao Cao. Finally announced the adjournment of the meeting, Lu Ren raised his eyes to look at Cao Cao, and Cao Cao's eyes also looked at Lu Ren. The two of them looked at each other a few times, and each only let out a long sigh......

————————————————————

In the western suburbs of Xuchang, there are no corpses and empty graves.

In such a night scuffle, Cao Cao didn't have time to bring back Cao Ang's body after Cao Ang was killed in battle, so Cao Ang's body had long been missing, and perhaps it had already been thrown into the water by Sergeant Zhang Xiu, and Mrs. Ding could only erect a well-dressed and empty grave for Cao Ang here to pay tribute. At this moment, Mrs. Ding was kneeling beside Cao Ang's tombstone in a trance, caressing the inscription on the tombstone and weeping silently.

"Madam, Lu Lingjun and Miss Wan are here."

Hearing the report of the maid behind her, Mrs. Ding raised her sleeves and wiped the tears on her cheeks, slowly turned around to look at Lu Ren and Wan'er, and showed a very sad smile on her face: "You are here...... Since Ang'er left home to join the army, the only real friend she has made is Lu Lingjun. Now that Ang'er has passed away, Lu Lingjun can come to pay respects in your busy schedule, and you should smile happily if you know under Ang'er Spring. ”

"Madam......" Lu Ren's mood at the moment was extremely confused, and even though there were a thousand words in his chest, he couldn't say a word. After a long time, Lu Ren could only sigh heavily, and said a sentence that was almost a routine formula on such an occasion: "People can't be resurrected after death, Madame, please mourn by the way." ”

Mrs. Ding bowed a little and returned the salute, and her eyes fell on Wan'er, who was dressed in plain clothes beside Lu Ren: "Wan'er, no matter what happened before, Ang'er's most beloved thing in her heart is you, the righteous sister...... Now you can also put some sticks of incense on my brother. ”

Where would Wan'er not know how Cao Ang treated her? For Cao Ang to recognize her as a righteous sister and fulfill her desire to stay by Lu Ren's side, Wan'er is respectful and grateful in her heart. Hearing Mrs. Ding's words at this moment, Wan'er bit her lip tightly, silently lit the incense with Lu Ren, and bowed down beside Mrs. Ding after respectfully paying tribute to Cao Ang, and said softly: "Madame, please mourn and cherish your body." I want my brother to be under the spring, and I don't want my wife to be so sad and hurt ......"

Mrs. Ding stretched out her hand to caress Wan'er's face: "Child, since you are Ang'er's sister and my daughter, why do you still call me 'Madame'?" ”

Wan'er hesitated, when Cao Ang recognized Wan'er as her sister-in-law in Puyang, Mrs. Ding originally rejected Wan'er's mother-worship, but now...... After hesitating, Wan'er looked at Lu Ren, but saw that Lu Ren was nodding lightly to her, so she carefully whispered: "Mother......"

"Mother......" Mrs. Ding's tears quietly fell with Wan'er's soft call, and her choked voice was also a little hoarse: "I wish it was Ang'er who called me like this again!" Ang'er Fang passed the year of the weak crown, but he left me without even marrying his wife, which made me feel like a mother...... Wan'er, how I wanted to ...... you at the beginning" Speaking of this, Mrs. Ding stopped her mouth and just shook her head gently.

Mrs. Ding wanted to say something just now, but in fact, Lu Ren and Wan'er knew it. If it were in normal times, Lu Ren's face would have been stretched for a long time, but how could Lu Ren's face be pulled down now? After looking down and thinking for a while, Lu Ren turned around and beckoned to Xiao Lu Lan from the carriage a little farther away, and after calling Xiao Lu Lan to his side, he whispered, "Xiao Lan, come here......"
