Mrs. Cao is pregnant!

Such a news quietly circulated in Linzi City.

The source of this news has no beginning or tail, and it is not known where and when it began to spread, so it is difficult to distinguish whether it is true or false, and it is impossible to find out.

When Yan and Diao Chan got the news in Lu Bu's mansion, everyone in the city knew about it.

Originally, this should be excellent news for the entire Lu Bujun force. Lu Bu has no children, in this year, especially when the army's military situation has gotten rid of the former Luotuo, crossed Qingxu, pointed to the southeast, and has become a big force that the Han can count, it has become the most difficult injury and hidden danger that can lead to people's instability. In the hearts of many people, if this matter is true, then the morale of Lu Bu's forces will be greatly settled, and the political turmoil caused by Lu Bu's serious injury is likely to calm down in an instant.

But whether it was Lu Bu's family or the Qingzhou civil and military forces who were relied on by Lu Bu as their hearts, they couldn't laugh at all when they got the news.

Now Qingzhou, or the form of the entire Lu Bu army, perhaps except for Qin Xu, who can't avoid suspicion and doesn't care about the world after adjusting the defensive array of the three states in the name of Lu Bu, no one can see that with Lu Bu seriously injured and unable to see things, the "lethality" of the hidden dangers that have erupted in Qingzhou. If you are not careful, it is very likely to hurt the root of Lu Bujun.

The safest way now is to guard the defense, stop the armies and truce, get rid of the thoughts of the people around us, use all means to delay time as much as possible, and wait for Lu Bu to recover from his injuries and come out to take charge of the overall situation. This is almost the entire Lu Bu army after several days of secret discussions. Consensus reached. Therefore, a peaceful Linzi is indispensable.

However, the release of this news. Regardless of whether it is true or not, it is as if a huge stone was cast on the surface of Qingzhou Lake, which has gradually calmed down, and suddenly caused a burst of endless ripples.

If the news is false, that's it, just arrest people. After more than three years of operation, Lu Bujun is for the ordinary people in Linzi City. Already "their own people". Besides, this is a "family matter" of Lu Bu after all, so there is no need to worry about what impact these will have on the prestige of Lu Bu, who has been packaged as the lord of benevolence and righteousness.

But if it's true. That's not easy to say. Lu Bujun has sprung up in recent years, and as we all know, he can't avoid the existence of a person. Without this person's sniping in the Nameless Valley, there would be no Lu Bu running thousands of miles to Qingzhou. Entering the matter of Linzi. I am afraid that it will be eaten and wiped out by Cao Cao's army as early as Yanzhou; Without this person's repeated tricks and forced landing of millions of yellow turban men and women, there would not have been Lu Bujun's feat of pacifying the six counties and three places in just half a year, which shocked the whole world. In addition, whether it was forcing Cao Cao to set an alliance under the city, or planning Xuzhou and Chang'an to rescue him, he had already established a prestige no less than that of Lu Bu in Lu Bu's army.

This person's name is Qin Xu! The identity is the husband of Lu Bu's only daughter. Not only is it kind to 700,000 people in Linzi City, but it is also kind to more than 1.2 million yellow turban men and women in Qingzhou who have surrendered, and Tao Qian and Lu Bu are also on the list. The Son of Heaven personally named the "designated" lord of Xuzhou, the general of Zhengdong. Wu Tinghou also recently laid a big Yangzhou.

Before this news was known, whether it was Lu Bu's series of tolerant attitudes, or the intimacy of Yan and Diao Chan towards Qin Xu, it made people believe that this young man, who was not too young and weak, had a bad background but had not been defeated since he "came out of the mountain", was very likely to be the "successor" deliberately cultivated by Lu Bu. If not, not to mention the authenticity of those amazing achievements, just the legendary incident of this person confronting Lu Bu is enough to be torn to pieces by this not very good-tempered Wen. How can he tolerate the strength under his control, and if you calculate it carefully, it is not under Lu Bu's army?

But now the news is out. The status of this Qin envoy ...... It's so embarrassing!

Even if it is a daughter in Cao's womb. At the beginning, it proves that Lu Bu "can", so unless Qin Xu is reversed now, otherwise, no matter how much he gets now, he is still making wedding dresses for others after all. After all, the son-in-law is not as good as the parent-in-law, and the entire Han will not believe that Lu Bu will choose the latter in terms of successor between his son and son-in-law.

And the most worrying thing is that if Lu Bu was there, no one would doubt the control of the overall situation. Originally, Lu Bu was an "expert" who "went down to the top", if Qin Xu really had two hearts, he would not be favored at all. But on the contrary, Lu Bu is seriously injured at the moment, although he is being healed by the divine doctor Hua Tuo, and is developing in the direction of healing, but in a short period of time, let alone a director, it is said that even opening his mouth is a problem.

The situation in Qingzhou is becoming more and more invisible. At this moment, what Qin Xu wants has become the key.

And Qin Xu, who was stared at by thousands of pairs of eyes, made people fall back in their eyes greatly.

Qin returned to Qingzhou from the fight, first vigorously and resolutely made a great adjustment to the military situation of the garrison of all parties, and then shrank the troops, took the initiative to give way to Yulin, several military orders, and laid heavy troops in the key places of Qing, Xu, and Yangzhou, not as ordinary people think, after transferring nearly half of the city defense battalion generals, the Qingzhou soldiers were transferred to Linzi, not to mention, but the full Xiandeng battalion was transferred out of Linzi and stationed in Jinan. After leaving the three battalions of Xiao Cai, Trapping, and Personal Guards, as well as the first part of the city defense battalion, he simply left the government affairs and military affairs to Sima Zanghong and a group of Lu Bu army veterans, and closed the door. This is simply confusing, I don't know what medicine is sold in the gourd of this young Xuzhou thorn history.

Qin Xu's behavior surprised everyone, and it also made those who wanted to deliberately slander Qin Xu temporarily shut up. Because the attitude in Lu Bu's mansion is even more strange.

As the hostess of the Great General's Mansion, Yan and Diao Chan, for some reason, did not come out to refute the rumors at the first time, and of course did not make any affirmations, as if it was irrelevant. It's a pity that the Yan family doesn't have Qin Xu's good luck, this ambiguous attitude makes this boiling rumor that was already spreading in the dark even more nose and eye.

Lü Bu was a general officially appointed by the imperial court and held military power. Controlling the three states is also the highest level of the hereditary title of the Han Dynasty, according to the practice at this time. The rituals of such feudal generals are comparable to those of princes and kings. If the news of Cao's pregnancy is true this time, there is a high possibility of becoming Lu Bu's eldest son, and he should immediately make a book and put it on the court to wait for the mandate of heaven. But Yan's attitude inevitably makes people unconsciously start to think in a bad direction. So much so that a few days after the news broke, some county officials in Qingzhou who got the news used the Confucian etiquette system as an excuse. Submitted a letter to Lu Bu's house.

The wording in these submissions, though polite, is generally the same thing. It is nothing more than a request to the Yan clan to clarify that this is known almost all over the city, and there is already news circulating in other states and counties. Don't hide it. Of course, with more and more submissions, it is inevitable that there will gradually be radical words that allude to Yan's poison and jealousy. But it made Yan's good life sulk.

It's getting louder. The situation is also moving in an uncontrollable direction. More and more people began to write to Lu Bu's mansion one after another, either for public or selfish reasons to persuade Yan, who is Lu Bu's wife, to clarify the news. Many county officials even abandoned their posts, came with a letter of advice, and knelt down in front of the mansion of General Lu Bu to ask for what they wanted. It seems that he has begun to give news of his heirs from Lu Bu's mansion, and he is gradually inclined to ask Lu Bu to face up to Qin Xu's position in Lu Bu's army.

"Now that you've tried to see the dagger! It's time to get to the bottom of it! "When the crowd was surging outside Lu Bu's mansion. In the main hall of the Great General's Mansion across the wall, accompanied by Lu Lingqi who covered her mouth with a smile, Qin Xu, who was shyly playing against his mother-in-law, noticed the gesture of a figure in the shade outside the hall, nodded, and straightened up.

Linzi City is still very lively, but in the discussion of this matter after tea and dinner, the words are divided into two factions, one is mainly the "aborigines" of Linzi, these people who live a stable life after the catastrophe are mainly in response to the previous rumors that Qin Xu wants to usurp the class and seize power, and Qin Xu, who has made great contributions to stabilizing Qingzhou, is by no means an ungrateful person, and will not do this retrograde when Lu Bu is seriously ill; The other faction is mainly based on the people who gathered the displaced people and the Yellow Turbans of the Zichuan Kingdom who surrendered to Linzi, and by the grace of the displaced people, most of these people have Qin Xu's ancestral tablets in their homes, but these people's "arguments" are somewhat interesting, perhaps because they don't know any big truths, but they are now "of the same clan" and are already famous in the world.

Popular hearts are available! It's time! With a simple letter, it was transmitted from the general's mansion to the Linzi Mansion, and the three battalions of Xiao Cavalry, Trapping, and City Defense of Lu Bujun, who had not moved, stayed in Linzi, except for the personal guard battalion that was guarding the general's mansion, but there was a sudden move. Groups of cavalry galloped out of the barracks, and in the eyes of the people of Linzi who were a little stunned, they galloped towards all corners of Linzi City with a great purpose. It was only a meal, and I saw that many people were tied up in front of Lu Bu's mansion. The people of Linzi, who had the "experience" of Lu Bu and the people before, knew in their hearts that something big must have happened at this time. Seeing these officials of the counties and counties who were tied up and thrown in front of the door of the general's mansion to ask for their lives, or what can be described as "forcing the palace", it has already made the faces of many people who were still making generous statements just now changed.

"This ...... It's them arresting people! Wen Jugong! We did it! ......" In Cao Bao's mansion, the servants kept transmitting the news from the outside to Cao Bao and Kong Rong, who were sitting and drinking and even having a good time. This made the two of them, who were still happy and persuaded Qin Xu to be in trouble a moment ago, but they each had their own plans in private, and they were stunned. From their respective eyes, they all saw a little surprise.

"It's a big deal! Qin Xu's thief couldn't help it after all! Kong Rong's nervous face showed a strong look of pride, and he didn't pay attention to Cao Bao's words, and asked in a deep voice: "Is it really arresting people outside?" Ha! Those people almost accounted for thirty percent of the fifty-two counties under the jurisdiction of Qingzhou, so did the Qin thieves really have so much courage to arrest people so much? Aren't you afraid of the rebellion in Qingzhou? It seems that the plan we waited for before really made this Qin thief mess up! ”

"I knew it! I knew it! Wenju is scheming in a variety of ways, dealing with a little Qin Xu, isn't it still hand-to-hand? Before the servant dressed person could reply, Cao Bao stood up suddenly, staring at Kong Rong with stunned eyes, as if he had not yet broken free from the joy of the news, and his mouth was full of words.

"If it weren't for General Cao's help, this would not have been possible! In the future, there will be General Cao in Qingzhou, and Kong will be able to get more touched! Kong Rong's eyes were full of contempt that was well hidden, he glanced at Cao Bao, took a deep breath, waved his hand to stop the words that the person wanted to report, and said in a deep voice: "But although we have forced this thief to a dead end, as long as the traitor Lu Bu wakes up, he will be able to plunge the thief into a catastrophe!" But after all, this matter has just begun, the good show is still to come, and now the chaos in Linzi City has become a place, and it is definitely not a place for me to stay for a long time, but now people are being taken everywhere, and it is not easy to get out of the city, I wonder if General Cao can send us out of the city first? ”

"Out of town?" Cao Bao didn't seem to expect Kong Rong to ask to go out of the city at this time, he paused for a moment, frowned, and said with a wry smile: "Wen Jugong, now that there is a sergeant in the city, the four gates will inevitably be closed, and he will go out of the city at this time...... This ......"

"If you two really can't get out, then don't go!" At the same time as Cao Bao and Kong Rong were talking, suddenly a voice came from the door that made Cao Bao and Kong Rong very familiar.

"Subordinates, see General Qin!" Cao Bao's servant, who was still looking like a loyal servant just now, reported the news to Kong Rong, but at this time, he straightened his waist in front of the two of them, and gave a military salute to the comer. And looking at the place where the words came from, the person who was leaning against the door with a smile on his face, the General Qin in this person's mouth, not the hateful Qin Xu, who is it?
