"Yellow hused horse, hooves facing west; Sitting on Lu Yihao, there are no apprentices behind him......"

Humming the ending song of the cartoon version of "Journey to the West" with changed words, Lu Ren rode all the way to the west. Seeing that it was already sunset and dusk, Lu Ren couldn't help but curse in a weak voice: "I'm leaning!" How did Cao Cao's soldiers and horses run so fast? He was a soldier who began to retreat yesterday morning near noon, and he only walked for a day, why didn't I catch up after him on horseback for a day today? Shouldn't everyone be Xia Houyuan's 'five hundred in three days, and one thousand in six days'? Am I lost? ”

Jumping off the horse to inspect the traces left on the road, Lu Ren immediately denied the idea of getting lost. It's only been a day, and the traces left by tens of thousands of horses are obvious. Looking at the sunset in the west, Lu Ren could only grit his teeth: "Chase!" I don't believe that a whole bunch of infantry can outrun my solo rider. I'm the only one in the wilderness, so what if I run into a beast or a robber or something? Before the crossing, when I was going to experience a travel friend, I got a travel friend manual and put it in the chip, but whether it can come in handy in this era is still a matter of two words! ”

With such thoughts, Lu Ren stretched out his hand and patted the mount that stepped down: "I said Brother Ma, Cao Cao's nest was taken by Lu Bu, Cao Cao is now marching all the way, when will we be able to catch up with you at your current speed?" Can you run a little faster? Chased to the camp, I asked them to feed you. ”

Coincidentally, when Lu Ren said these words, the horse shook his nose and shook his head a few times, as if he meant to say to Lu Ren, "I don't want to bird you." Lu Ren shook his head with a smile, and suddenly his heart was ruthless, he tightened the reins with his left hand, and raised the horsewhip high with his right hand: "I don't believe that I can't submit to you!" Drive-"

The horse neighed in pain and immediately galloped. It's just that although the speed has gone up, what about Lu Ren?

"Hey, hey, hey...... Run, run, run a little steady! Boom, boom, me! ”

In this way, sometimes fast and sometimes slow, sometimes turbulent and steady, and finally when the sky was just completely dark, Lu Ren saw the rear team of Cao Cao's soldiers and horses from a distance, and he breathed a long sigh of relief under great joy, and slightly accelerated the speed of the horse to catch up.

Lu Ren's identity when he left Cao Ying's position was Cao Jun's messenger, and after catching up with Cao Jun and reporting as usual, he was not going to see Guo Jia immediately, but to return to Cao Cao first. Cao Cao was not surprised to see that Lu Ren had come back from Tancheng so soon, and after a little inquiry in Tancheng, he asked Lu Ren to stay with Guo Jia, as for the matter of the music teacher, he had to wait until Cao Cao returned to Juancheng.

When he saw Guo Jia, Guo Jia was very surprised and asked Lu Ren why he came back, Lu Ren told him what happened in his Tancheng, Guo Jia just smiled noncommittally after hearing it, and then pointed to the military tent: "It's just right, help me cook a pot of soup?" ”

"Fuck off!" Lu Ren really didn't have to be polite in front of Guo Jia, and planted himself on the mat: "I've been on the road all day, I'm tired, and you still let me cook soup?" I just want to sleep now! ”

Guo Jia stopped talking, and asked people to sleep on another mat in the tent. At this point, Lu Ren should be regarded as officially joining Cao Cao's command.

————————————————————

After a rapid march of hunger and thirst all the way, Cao Cao had returned to Juancheng. On the way, Lu Ren was worried that Lu Bu would suddenly have a brain convulsion and intercept Cao Cao in the area of Mount Tai, but it turned out that Lu Ren's worry was purely unnecessary. Because a person's thinking may change in a short period of time, but the way of thinking caused by personality is not so easy to change.

What is the situation of Lu Bu? Since escaping from Chang'an, Lu Bu has been drifting without a fixed place, and the idea of having a place to live has always surrounded Lu Bu's heart. Now that he occupies Puyang, he regards this hard-won place of residence as more important than anything else, for fear that something will go wrong as soon as he leaves, and where will he easily lead the army to leave and go to Mount Tai to intercept Cao Cao's way back?

So there was no need for Lu Ren to talk too much, and Cao Cao returned to Juancheng. After gathering the civil ministers and military generals to discuss, Cao Cao first led the main force to Puyang, leaving a few generals to prepare the corresponding grain and grass equipment in Juancheng. placed in the resettlement of Lu Ren...... The current Cao Cao really doesn't have that mind. The old nest has been served, where will Cao Cao have the heart to place a music tutor? Therefore, at this time, Lu Ren was still following Guo Jia as a scribe. However, what made Lu Ren feel relieved was that he didn't have to follow Cao Cao to go with the army this time, because Guo Jia was sick at this time and couldn't go with Cao Cao, so he, as Guo Jia's scribe, naturally didn't have to follow.

Guo Jia's physical fitness is not very good, it is a well-known thing, and after the autumn, the weather becomes cooler, and the temperature difference between day and night is relatively large, plus Guo Jia is also the first time to go out with the army, and he encountered a round trip to the rapid march, and the body is really unbearable, so he accidentally suffered from a severe cold, and may have mild pneumonia, and has been coughing very badly.

After reading it, the doctor said a lot of nonsense, but Lu Ren basically couldn't understand it, he only knew that to deal with this kind of severe cold, it was almost enough to cook a few more bowls of ginger soup for Guo Jia. It's just a pity that there was no pepper and brown sugar in this era. But in any case, the ginger soup that Lu Ren made was much smoother than those herbal juices.

Cao Cao sent troops, Guo Jia recuperated, and the two broke up temporarily, and Lu Ren stayed in Juancheng. And in this way, Lu Ren will naturally meet Xun Yu. It's just that when Xun Yu came to visit Guo Jia twice, Lu Ren was cooking ginger soup in the kitchen and missed it. It wasn't until Xun Yu came to visit Guo Jia for the third time that Lu Ren was able to meet the famous "Wang Zuozhicai" in history, and at this time Cao Cao had been in Puyang for several days.

In Lu Ren's view, Xun Yu is no different from what is recorded in the history books, he is handsome, old-fashioned, and the first feeling is that he is a very reassuring handsome guy. If this is thrown into modern society and then made an idol drama or something, it may become the type that kills everyone up to the age of eight and up to eighty.

Guo Jia's illness had improved a lot at this time, and he was half-lying on the couch and talking about something with Xun Yu. After Lu Ren sent Jiang Tang in, he wanted to leave the room with interest when he saw such a situation, but unexpectedly Guo Jia called Lu Ren, and then smiled at Xun Yu: "It's him." ”

Xun Yu let out an "oh" and began to dry Lu Ren carefully up and down, you must know that when Xun Yu saw Lu Ren at the beginning, because Lu Ren's appearance was too ordinary, Xun Yu thought that Lu Ren was just a servant under Guo Jia...... However, at that time, Lu Ren had indeed just returned from buying fresh ginger from outside.

Being stared at like this by Xun Yu, Lu Ren couldn't help but feel a little furious, but now he could only salute Xun Yu seriously. Xun Yu smiled after returning the salute: "I heard that your art is from Cai Zhonglang, and you and Feng Xiao also got acquainted because of the music. When I have a chance, let me see your art of rhythm. ”

As soon as these words were said, Lu Ren felt a lot more relaxed, and immediately smiled at Xun Yu: "Xun Gong praised it." ”

Guo Jia coughed a few times at this time, and then beckoned to Lu Renzhao and said, "Yihao, I'm sick now, and you're idle here when you're idle, so it's better to go to Wen Ruo's place to help for a few days." Cooking ginger soup is just a matter of leaving it to the cook. ”

Lu Ren was stunned and hesitated: "Go to Xun Gong to help?" How can I help? Don't let me do anything to make a plan, I can't do that. ”

Guo Jia laughed and said, "Plotting to trap people? Can you fool me? I know that you are good at arithmetic, and it just so happens that Wen Ruo's money and food accounts have been troublesome recently, so you follow Wen Ruo to help him calculate. ”

"Oh, that's fine." Lu Ren breathed a sigh of relief. Lu Ren didn't dare to say anything else, but when it came to playing with numbers, Lu Ren dared to pat his chest very confidently and said that I was afraid that no one could count him at that time.

Xun Yu looked at Guo Jia and then looked at Lu Ren, and said to Lu Ren out of caution: "Yihao, the matter of money and food seems to be light and serious, and it should not be a child's play." Although you have to be recommended by filial piety to help me for a few days, I still have to consider you to be safe, don't you mind? ”

"It's okay, it's the way it should be." Lu Renxin said You don't know how difficult it was to find a job in my time, there are all kinds of messy interviews and assessments, can I still be afraid of you?

Xun Yu was not polite, and made a lot of arithmetic problems for Lu Ren to calculate, but it can really only be regarded as "arithmetic problems", Lu Ren feels that there is no difficulty at all even if he doesn't use a calculator, at most he has to use a pen and paper to calculate, and when the calculator is turned on, he can report the answer almost casually.

After a few strokes like this, Xun Yu's eyes lit up. The arithmetic problem he came up with had already known the answer before, and now seeing that Lu Ren could calculate so quickly and accurately, and he answered it casually, he immediately gave Lu Ren a thumbs up: "Very good, very good!" With Yihao helping me, many chores there will be much more convenient. Fengxiao, I think it's better for you to transfer Yihao to me, I really need someone like Yihao who is good at arithmetic to help me. ”

Guo Jia glanced at Lu Ren and waved his hand very casually: "Wen Ruo, you just take it, but remember to give him Yulu, and it will save him from eating and drinking here with me, and waste my family's grain and rice." ”

"You dead old Guo!" Even if Xun Yu was present, Lu Ren couldn't help but raise his middle finger to Guo Jia, it was really after this period of getting along, he and Guo Jia were used to hurting each other so much: "Do you have a conscience when you say this?" I don't want to think about who cooks delicious meals for you during this time, and who helps you cook medicine and soup after you get sick? If I really want to be a chef, don't you rush to ask for those wine shops and restaurants? ”

Guo Jia smiled disdainfully, while Xun Yu covered his forehead with his hand and sighed lightly: "How do I feel that there is another dissolute/unruly person like Guo Fengxiao?" Is this what the saying goes, 'people gather by like, and things by groups'? ”
