Chapter 25: Cao Zhen Visits
When Lu Ye and Minister Lu returned to Yulong Tower with exhaustion, the old shopkeeper greeted him directly, with an eager look on his face: "Little Brother Lu, you can be regarded as back." Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info"
"What's wrong? Mo didn't what happened? Lu Ye looked at the anxiety on the old shopkeeper's face, and subconsciously thought that something terrible had happened.
The old shopkeeper said: "Around midnight this afternoon, that Cao Gongzi came to look for you." ”
"Gongzi Cao?"
"That's the day that Cao Gongzi sent someone to come forward for you."
"Oh...... It's him. How did he come. Lu Ye reacted at this time, this old shopkeeper should be talking about Cao Zhen. But why did Cao Zhen look for himself? Could it be that something is going on?
"Little Brother Lu, hurry up and take a look, that young man has been waiting for you in the private room on the second floor for almost two hours. I guess there's something important coming to you. ”
"Okay, I'll go back and change my clothes and go up." At this time, Lu Ye's body was not clean, and stains could be seen everywhere. A lot of the slurry from the paper was stained on his own clothes.
"What are you doing here?" The old shopkeeper naturally saw the spots on Lu Ye's body, and he was confused. Lu Ye said with a smile: "The two of them went out of the city with the minister to play, and they were stained with some mud during the fight. ”
Regarding the matter of papermaking, Lu Ye didn't plan to let the old shopkeeper know about it now. God knows if they will be tempted? He is weak, and once he is targeted by them at that time, there is no way to do it.
The old shopkeeper naturally heard Lu Ye's perfunctory, so he didn't ask too many questions, but just told Lu Ye: "That son is a nobleman, you have to pay more attention." ”
Lu Ye smiled and nodded: "I understand." ”
……
……
Yulong Building, a private room on the second floor.
Cao Zhen sat in front of the case, but he was not as boring as the old shopkeeper thought, originally came here today to ask Lu Ye how to gamble money, how to proceed.
But Lu Ye was not there, Cao Zhen decided to wait here, but he heard that in the evening, Yulonglou was talking about the third and fourth chapters of the Romance of the Gods.
It is the fragment of Jizhou Hou Su protecting the anti-business and Ji Chang breaking the siege and entering Daji, Cao Zhen listened to it with relish, and now he is thinking about what Jizhou Hou should do.
At this time, I only heard a chatter at the door, and then a crisp voice came: "Brother Zidan, don't come to harm." ”
Cao Zhen originally felt angry when this person interrupted his thoughts, but the voice that came from him sounded familiar, and he quickly turned his head with a smile on his face: "Zihang, you are finally back." ”
Lu Ye also said with a gentle smile on his face: "Yes, I just came back." What's the matter, why are you interested in coming here to me today? ”
Cao Zhen smiled: "Can't I come to you if I don't have something?" ”
Lu Ye smiled secretly in his heart, thinking that the Cao family actually had such a strange thing. Cao Cao, Cao Ren, and Cao Hong are all old and sophisticated, with thick faces and black hearts. Why didn't this Cao Zhen inherit this advantage of theirs.
In fact, of course, Lu Ye knew that Cao Zhen must have something to find him when he came this time, but looking at Cao Zhen's twisted appearance, Lu Ye thought to himself, I don't know what kind of encounter made this Cao Zhen become the later general of Cao Wei.
It's just that the current Cao Zhen, even he himself would never have imagined that he would be so powerful in the future.
So Lu Ye smiled and said, "Zidan, what are you talking about, come and come." Then he looked behind Cao Zhen and said, "Well, didn't you bring anything here?" ”
"Huh? Bring something? ”
Lu Ye teased: "Then this is Zidan, you are wrong, come to visit, how can you not bring gifts?" ”
"This, this, this ......." Cao Zhen was dumbfounded for a while, and thought to himself, it seemed that this was indeed the case, he came here to find Lu Ye to learn the skills on the gambling stall, even if it was an ordinary student studying, he would bring some restraints to the teacher, how could he be so ignorant.
Thinking of this, Cao Zhen secretly regretted it in his heart.
Lu Ye looked at Cao Zhen's embarrassed appearance, and thought that this guy really couldn't stand the teasing, so he said, "Okay, okay, it's just a joke with you." Don't take it seriously. Say, what the hell is going on. ”
However, Cao Zhen had already made up his mind in his heart, and he would definitely not be able to say the true thoughts in his heart today, otherwise wouldn't he be misunderstood by Lu Ye that he was a person who didn't understand the world?
So he said: "There is nothing to do, it's just that when I said goodbye, my heart was like a close friend to Zihang, so I came here today to comfort my heart." ”
Lu Ye got goosebumps all over his body when he heard this, and pretended to whisper: "Zidan...... You don't have any weird fetishes, do you? ”
Cao Zhen was a little dazed: "Huh? ”
For example...... Longyang, broken sleeves ......and the like. ”
"What nonsense!" Cao Zhen's delicate face was flushed, as if he had been greatly insulted.
Lu Ye laughed: "Okay, okay, just kidding." Brother Zidan has a righteous face, of course he is a straight man, right? I'm just looking at the awkward atmosphere here, and telling a joke to ease it. ”
Cao Zhen's face turned slightly.
"But seriously, you didn't come to me today just to talk to me about these things that don't seem to be nutritious, right?" Lu Ye said to Cao Zhen.
Cao Zhen had already made up his mind at this time, anyway, it was absolutely impossible to apprentice to Lu Ye today, otherwise wouldn't it be true that he wanted to steal the technique without bringing a gift?
Even Lu Ye himself couldn't imagine that his unintentional words actually made Cao Zhen hide in front of him.
"Of course, after we parted that day, I sent for you to bring you bone-setting wine, have you received it? Now, a few days have passed, has the injury improved? Cao Zhen asked with concern.
Lu Ye's eyes narrowed, thinking in his heart, why did this guy care so much about himself? The two have only met twice, if they care so much about Cao Zhen, they may be able to say that they are reasonable, after all, Cao Zhen is his life-saving benefactor, but Cao Zhen is so eager, but Lu Ye is a little unaccustomed to it.
Cao Zhen looked at Lu Ye's eyes, and his heart was slightly empty. The purpose of coming here today was originally to seriously discuss with Lu Ye how to win money in the gambling house.
But when Lu Ye said that before, he felt that he couldn't help it, so he made up his mind to wait until next time he brought all the gifts and came to discuss with Lu Ye, anyway, he must not say his purpose today.
Those words of concern were naturally thought out of under embarrassment, speechless, so Cao Zhen didn't dare to look directly into Lu Ye's eyes.
Lu Ye said: "Thanks to your bruising wine, originally the minister and I were both bruised, but at this time, it has already subsided a lot. It's just that when my chest is moving vigorously, I still have a dull pain occasionally. ”
Cao Zhen said: "By the way, I have already found out what the identity of the person who hurt you that day is." ”
After the separation that day, although Lu Ye said that he didn't need Cao Zhen's help, when those people knew that they had done something with Cao Zhen, they actually sent someone to Cao Zhen's mansion to apologize, which was an unexpected joy.
"Found out?"
"Yes. You guessed it right, it was the trouble that caused you at the gambling booth before. Cao Zhen had indignation on his face: "I really didn't expect them to be such people, I heard that it is a subordinate of the Donghe Gang, that hooked nose seems to be the protector of the Donghe Gang or something, they said vaguely, but they just brought something to apologize to me." And it also guarantees that it won't harass you again. I didn't go too far into it. Cao Zhen said.
Lu Ye nodded, and then arched his hand towards Cao Zhenyi: "In this way, I want to inherit Brother Zidan's love." ”
Although Lu Ye said that he didn't need Cao Zhen's help that day, but now that Cao Zhen has told Lu Ye about the original situation, then Lu Ye is naturally not a pedantic person.
"Actually, it's because you're a foreigner, and they think they don't have any foundation, so they do this." Cao Zhen may have received gifts from others, so it is inconvenient to help Lu Ye with anything.
A playful smile crossed Lu Ye's face: "Outlander? Can a foreigner be humiliated casually? ”
"It's ......."
Lu Ye said: "Don't worry, I don't have time to find trouble with them yet." After a while, when I'm free, I'll go back to their trouble. ”
Cao Zhen seemed to want to stop it: "You came to Xudu alone, and you don't have any relatives and friends around you. The matter ...... The matter ....... Cao Zhen originally wanted to say that it was better to stop this matter, but thinking that Lu Ye was beaten for no reason, he couldn't say anything.
"Who says I'm alone?"
"Huh?"
"I still have our minister." Lu Ye is very free and easy.
Cao Zhen looked at Lu Ye, whose face was slightly immature, and his heart was slightly shocked, thinking that this Donghe Gang, this time, I am afraid that I am going to cause trouble. A foreigner, when he arrived in the city of Xudu, was still so confident. Either he's a stupid guy, or he's a million soldiers in his chest. In Cao Zhen's eyes, he didn't think that Lu Ye would be the former.
There seems to be some great power in this not very strong body.
This time, the East River Gang, you guys really kicked the iron plate.
"Zidan, you don't have to say more, let me handle these things myself." Lu Ye said.
"Okay." Cao Zhen nodded.
"By the way, what have you been up to lately? Why didn't you come back until so late at night? Cao Zhen asked again.
Lu Ye pretended to be mysterious and said: "The secret of heaven cannot be revealed, you can only wait and see, not speak." If you have time, I can show you there. ”
Cao Zhen then showed a very interested expression: "Okay, okay, then tomorrow." ”
"Huh?"
"That's it, don't lie to me!" After Cao Zhen said this, he stood up and walked away directly.
Lu Ye looked at Cao Zhen's figure withdrawing, as if there were tens of thousands of wild horses galloping by, thinking to himself, how can this guy ...... How so...... So straightforward?
Shaking his head, he finally returned to his room and fell into a deep sleep.
Outside the window, the moonlight shone on the earth.
