In Nanpi City, Chen Nuo had just sent Lu Bu out, when he saw Zhao Xue walking in with an unconvinced face.

"Oh, Cher!" When Chen Nuo saw Zhao Xue's face, he immediately understood, and hurriedly made a move, called Zhao Xue to come forward, took her hand, and asked with a smile: "What's the matter, who made Xue'er angry?" Tell the big brother, and the big brother will teach him to go. Zhao Xue snorted lightly, glanced at Chen Nuo, and said, "Big brother is knowingly asking!" Then he said, "Big brother, you didn't have to compete with Lu Bu to capture the flag, but now it's okay, nine days have passed, and only Ming'er is the last day." Look at how many flags people have in their hands, how many flags do we have? As soon as Ming'er passes, we will lose. At that time, it is a trivial matter to lose a thousand pairs of armor to them, and the key is to lose face, how to get it back, won't it make others laugh? Thanks to big brother, you can still laugh now? ”

When Chen Nuo heard this, he laughed and said: "When gambling with people, there must always be winners and losers, and if you lose, it is a big deal to return them a thousand pairs of clothes and armor, which can be regarded as selling them a face, otherwise Lu Wenhou will not be able to explain to his subordinates, right?" When Zhao Xue heard this, she was slightly stunned, stared at Chen Nuo carefully in a blink of an eye, and saw that there was cunning in Chen Nuo's eyes, so she immediately came to her senses: "Oh, big brother, you obviously knew that you would lose to them in the competition with Lu Bu, but you didn't care about it from beginning to end, right?" Chen Nuo didn't mean to hide it from Zhao Xue, nodded and said: "Speaking of which, this batch of armor from the plains was originally intended to be allocated to Lu Wenhou, and it was not right for us to take it for ourselves halfway, and now that he Lu Bu has personally visited the door and begged for the armor to be returned, it is not good for me not to give them this face." But I know that if Lu Bu comes to the door, I will send him out in armor, which will inevitably make people who don't know laugh at me for being afraid of him, and my subordinates will not be able to agree, right? It's because I came to a competition on the grounds that I pulled out the thief's flag, so I didn't plan to defeat them in this battle, and even if I lost, it didn't matter, Xue'er, you don't have to take it too seriously. ”

Zhao Xue nodded and said: "It turns out that you think so, big brother, no wonder you have been indifferent to Lu Bu and he pulled out dozens of flags of thieves for a few days, big brother, but it turned out that this idea was hit." Chen Nuo smiled, took Zhao Xue's hand, pulled her to his side and sat down, and said with a smile: "It's far from these!" I asked Lu Bu to attack and harass the thieves for several days in a row, in addition to comparing with him, the most important thing is to use his soldiers and horses to find out the details of the thieves, so as to prepare for the next battle. Zhao Xue heard Chen Nuo's words, tilted her head over, and asked with her eyebrows: "It's not easy to find out the details of the thief, isn't there still a few soldiers under the command of the big brother, why do you need to fake the hands of others?" ”

Chen Nuo shook his head and said: "How do Xue'er know, although some of my subordinate generals are like Xue'er, your alertness, Gao Shun, Pan Zhang, and Zhu Ling's good fighting, but there are very few who can charge into battle alone." One Dian Wei is still lying on the couch, and he can't really count on it, let alone others. And Lu Wenhou is different, thinking that he is a tiger general himself, he has defeated the heroes of the world several times before the tiger prison, and let him rush to the camp, which is to give full play to his strengths. What's more, letting him rush to kill also happens to let outsiders see that Lu Wenhou is also under my control, which also gives other generals an illusion, they will think that even Lu Bu is used by me, what reason do they have not to listen to my dispatch? ”

When Zhao Xue heard this, her eyes lit up, and she smiled: "I understand the purpose of your doing this, big brother." I think that although you have nominally taken over the defense of Nanpi City, because your reputation is not enough to suppress everyone, there are many generals who are ostensibly obedient to your orders, but secretly they are angry with you, big brother. Big brother and Lu Bu are now making such a fuss, and if he is asked to attack the camp in the middle of the night, he will attack the camp in the middle of the night, so, those who don't know that it is the big brother and your prestige If this is the case, so that Lu Bu has to obey, then they will not dare to disobey you Yang Yang and Yin to the big brother. ”

Chen Nuo smiled, stroked Zhao Xue's head with his hand, and said, "The son can be taught!" Zhao Xue blushed, hurriedly dodged, and said: "But big brother, why didn't you tell Xue'er earlier if you have such a clever arrangement, so that Xue'er took care of you for the big brother in vain, when she met Lu Bu just now, Xue'er saw his smug face, and Xue'er almost rushed up and beat him." "Zhao Xue is not a reckless person, before the matter is understood, Zhao Xue will not be rash. She was indeed a little wrong when she came in before, but she didn't start beating people, Chen Nuo knew this very well, so when Zhao Xue said this, he didn't say anything, but deliberately pretended to be anxious, and hurriedly persuaded Zhao Xue to calm his anger.

No matter how smart Zhao Xue is, she can't see that Chen Nuo is laughing with her, and she is pretending to be fierce and vicious at the moment, and she ruthlessly counts Chen Nuo, and Chen Nuo just laughs and apologizes. The two of them had a quarrel, their skin touched, their breath smelled each other, and the atmosphere gradually became beautiful. At this moment, a frizzy person broke into the tent. Chen Nuo looked up and suddenly saw that it was Zhu Rong Qingyi.

Zhu Rong Qingyi broke in directly, so the guards didn't stop her, they saw that she had entered the account, and Chen Nuo had no intention of reproaching, so he had to retreat one after another. However, as soon as Zhu Rong Qingyi came in, he saw Zhao Xue sitting in Chen Nuo's arms, because of the trouble, both cheeks were full of redness, and even his breath was slightly disordered, which was very cute, and he couldn't help but be stunned. In her heart, at this moment, it seemed that she had been pricked by a needle, although it hurt, she didn't scream, and she was stunned for a moment.

When Zhao Xue saw Zhu Rong Qingyi coming in, her heart jumped suddenly, and she suddenly found that she was still in Chen Nuo's arms, so she quickly stood up and walked straight down, smiling at Zhu Rong Qingyi embarrassedly, and shouted: "Sister Qingyi, why are you here?" Chen Nuo was also a little embarrassed when he saw Zhu Rong Qingyi's expression, so he pretended to cough twice, straightened the sleeves of his robe, straightened his body, and looked at her levelly. When Zhu Rong Qingyi heard Zhao Xue come to ask, he came back to his senses from his daze, looked at Zhao Xue, called Sister Xue, and then said to Chen Nuo again: "Brother...... Brother ......"

Zhu Rong Tsing Yi had officially recognized Chen Nuo as his brother a few days ago, but after recognizing, the two rarely met. Either deliberately avoided it, or it was as rare as possible, so her 'brother' was also quite jerky. Chen Nuo knew that if Zhu Rong Qingyi was fine, he would not have come to see him in such a hurry in the middle of the night, so he didn't care about the jerkiness of this 'brother', and hurriedly called 'sister' and asked: "My sister came here in a hurry in the middle of the night, didn't something happen?" ”

Zhao Xue had actually guessed that it was wrong, because after hearing Chen Nuo's question, he was about to look at her. When Zhu Rong Qingyi heard Chen Nuo's question, he suddenly woke up from the distress just now, and immediately nodded to Chen Nuo, and then said, "Brother, save Brother Wei." ”

"Dianjun?" Chen Nuo frowned, his body had already stood up from the mat, and hurriedly asked, "Hasn't Dian Jun been raising him on the couch, what's wrong, what's wrong with him?" "Yes!" Zhao Xue saw that Zhu Rong Qingyi's face was full of anxiety, and hurriedly took her hand and hurriedly asked, "General Dian, what's wrong with him?" Zhu Rong Qingyi glanced at Zhao Xue, then at Chen Nuo, and said, "Brother Wei...... He's out of town! ”

Hearing the news that Dian Wei suddenly went out of the city, Zhao Xue and Chen Nuo were both stunned for a moment, and said in their hearts What is going on? At that moment, Chen Nuo comforted Zhu Rong Qingyi with a few words, telling Zhu Rong Qingyi not to be in a hurry, and to talk about this matter slowly. I didn't know if I didn't ask, but when I asked, I realized that this incident was caused by Lu Bu. Speaking of which, Dian Wei was seriously injured in a big battle a while ago, so he has been kept on the couch for some time. Fortunately, he was carefully cared for by Zhu Rong Qingyi, and his body recovered quickly. These days, although Dian Wei has been lying on the couch most of the time, he has also stayed from time to time. Originally, with Dian Wei's temper, he had long wanted to get up from the couch completely and return to the barracks, but because Zhu Rong Qingyi was worried that the injuries on his body had not been completely healed, he did not dare to let him move around at will, coupled with Chen Nuo's admonition, so he had been lying on the couch. Dian Wei also had a headache, but he was also quite helpless, even if he wanted to sneak down, he couldn't succeed when he was supervising Zhu Rong Qingyi.

Just at the beginning, Dian Wei finally took advantage of Zhu Rong Qingyi to walk away, secretly got up from the couch, and then walked around inside and outside the courtyard. And it was this movement that made Dian Wei overhear the bet between Chen Nuo and Lu Bu, and heard that Lu Bu had taken many thief flags, and Chen Nuo was only afraid that he would lose to Lu Bu this time. Dian Wei listened, of course, he was unconvinced. It's just that he wanted to go to Chen Nuo to explain the matter, so that Chen Nuo could let him fight, but when he thought that he would go at this moment, Chen Nuo might not agree, so he couldn't help but be discouraged. He thought left and right, and his heart was down, it was better to grab a few flags from him first, and then report to Chen Nuo after making a great contribution. Therefore, he immediately said that more than a dozen soldiers of the Wuwei Battalion were mobilized, and they all followed him out of the city to make meritorious contributions. These people were originally dissatisfied with Lu Bu, and it was rare for Dian Wei to take them out of the city in person, so naturally there was no reason not to agree, and as soon as Dian Wei said it, he followed Dian Wei to open the city.

Dian Wei left, Zhu Rong Qingyi shouldn't have known, but it happened that after she returned to the room, she was uneasy, and then went back to find Dian Wei, not wanting Dian Wei to be no longer in the room, and when she asked her subordinates clearly, she knew what was going on. Zhu Rong Qingyi said what happened before and after, Chen Nuo heard it, frowned slightly, and smiled bitterly: "At this time, if you want to stop Dianjun, I'm afraid it's too late." Xue'er, sister, don't worry, with Dianjun's ability, he will be fine. While comforting her, he hurriedly sent someone out of the city to pick up Ying Dian Wei and the others.
