Chapter 35: Lu Bu Arrives at the Door
Zhu Ling's matter is far from over, and Lu Bu is indeed here for this matter.
However, of course, when he came, he did not go straight to the point, but deliberately mentioned that Chen Nuo used a 'water attack' last time, forcing Gongsun Chan to suspend the attack. His tone was said with 'Daoxi', but his true meaning was geometric, and Chen Nuo did not know. Chen Nuo also had a sloppy look, laughed, and said: "Oh, what is the purpose of Lu Wenhou's coming, but he is here to congratulate the contemptible people for this matter?" Speaking of this matter, in fact, I am also sincerely afraid, and I dare not take the credit alone, and I want to thank you Wen Hou. ”
Lu Bu smiled reluctantly and asked with a smile, "Oh? What do you mean by that? The so-called merit is not rewarded, I Lu Bu has no merit, but I must not be humble to Chen Hou! ”
Chen Nuo hurriedly shook his head and said, "Deserve it!" Lu Wenhou thinks that you are a noble person who forgets things, and you don't remember what happened before? Thinking about it, if it weren't for Wen Hou's subordinates playing with water to trick my scouts, I couldn't remember for a while that when it was so cold, it wouldn't be difficult to force Gongsun Zan to retreat if he used 'water attack'. In this way, Wen Hou, didn't you also make a great contribution? So what you said makes sense, what do you say? Lu Bu's eyes rolled, and he secretly said in his heart: "I don't know whether Chen Nuo means praise or depreciation, but what he said is true, thinking that the reason why Chen Nuo was able to think of forcing Gongsun Chan to retreat with 'water attack' is not a temporary delusion, it turned out that it was because he was inspired by Zhu Ling's incident, so he drew a scoop with a gourd and let him shoot Gongsun Chan away, but it was cheap for him." ”
Thinking of this, Lu Bu smiled quietly, and said again and again: "Listening to Chen Hou, you are not praising me, but you are blaming me for having no way to teach Lu Bu's subordinates." Haha, Chen Hou, don't mind, speaking of which, I came to Chen Hou today just to deal with this matter. He immediately scolded outside the tent, "Don't come in yet!" Suddenly, I saw the tent door wash and walk into a martial arts future from outside the tent. As soon as the man came in, his eyes swept wildly, touching Chen Nuo's gaze, but he stared at him uncontrollably, snorted heavily in his nose, and faced Chen Nuo proudly. When Lu Bu saw it, his face changed, and he immediately shouted, "Don't make amends to Chen Hou yet!" ”
When the man heard Lu Bu's scolding, he didn't dare to make a statement, so he immediately lowered his head and walked in front of Chen Nuo. In the matter of Zhu Ling, Chen Nuo only heard that the general under Lu Bu who caused trouble was called Cao Xing, and he knew nothing else. Seeing this person today, although he is alive, he also knows that what Lu Bu brought is probably Cao Xing. It's just that, with Chen Nuo's understanding of Lu Buqi and his people, thinking that Lu Bu has always been arrogant to others, he thought that he would not mention this matter, and Lu Bu would not say it himself for no reason, and he didn't want to bring someone to make amends in person today, which made Chen Nuo a little surprised. Lu Bu would do this, Chen Nuo couldn't figure it out for a while, so he naturally didn't know what kind of medicine Lu Bu was selling in this wine gourd.
Without waiting for Cao Xing to apologize, Chen Nuo had already stretched out his hand, grabbed his arms, and said with a smile: "This must be General Cao Xing, right?" Haha, I often hear that General Cao shoots a good arrow with one hand, and it is really better to meet than to hear people, and I am fortunate to be lucky! Cao Xing was pulled over by Lu Buqiang and asked him to apologize to Chen Nuo for Zhu Ling's incident, Cao Xing was naturally unhappy in his heart. Originally, before he came, he also said how Chen Nuo showed off, and he must be unforgiving in this matter. He was afraid that his momentum would be defeated before he arrived, so he pretended to be domineering when he saw Chen Nuo, just to let Chen Nuo know that he was not easy to mess with, and he retreated. However, he didn't want Chen Nuo to see him as if he were an old friend, and as soon as he came up, he was enthusiastic to 'luck' with him, and his originally 'arrogant' arrogance was not only buried by Chen Nuo, but also surrounded by Chen Nuo's enthusiasm and was a little overwhelmed for a while.
He smiled awkwardly, his old face was red, and he almost became dumb in a moment, and he didn't know what to say. Instead, he glanced at Lu Bu in a hurry, only to see Lu Bu looking at him with puzzled eyes, as if asking when he would 'hook up' with Chen Nuo? Cao Xing didn't dare to let Lu Bu cause a misunderstanding, so he quickly pulled out his arm and said to Chen Nuo: "This, Chen Hou, you have won the award, and I don't know where Chen Hou heard that the contemptible person is cheap, and the contemptible person is sincerely afraid, and he really dare not take it." As for the micro-end archery, it is just shooting and playing with nothing at all, which is really not elegant, so Chen Hou makes you laugh. ”
Chen Nuo laughed and asked rhetorically, "Really?" Just play casually, and actually lose one eye of General Xiahou, it's really amazing, admire and admire! "Huh?" Cao Xuan raised his hand, scratched his head, and asked suspiciously: "General Xiahou, which General Xiahou?" Even Lu Bu listened to Chen Nuo's words suspiciously, and turned his eyes to look at Cao Xing. Chen Nuo deliberately said this allusion, of course, it was not a momentary slip of the tongue, but it was done on purpose. His purpose is to make Cao Xuan unpredictable, and even more to make Lu Bu wonder, this so-called fiction is real, and the reality is false. Chen Nuo saw that Cao Xuan was stunned, Lu Bu looked at Cao Xuan with suspicious eyes, and he was also amused in his heart, he was laughing here, and looked at Cao Xing with his eyebrows: "Why, it turns out that General Cao will also joke, if even you can't remember this General Xiahou, I'm afraid I'm going to be even more confused." ”
Chen Nuo said, deliberately shaking his head in front of Lu Bu. Lu Bu looked at Cao Xuan with a puzzled expression. At this time, Cao Xing scratched his head and said again and again: "No, who is this Xiahou general, why can't I remember?" Looking at Lu Bu, Lu Bu glanced at Chen Nuo, and saw that Chen Nuo looked serious, clearly not like he was lying, and he was also puzzled in his heart. Cao Xing defected to him halfway, so Lu Bu didn't fully understand Cao Xing's previous affairs. Although Lu Bu was not interested in what Cao Xuan had done before, he didn't even want to know who this 'Xiahou General' was. But what is strange is that even Chen Nuo knows such a secret, but he has not told him, which shows that Cao Xing has a close relationship with him. However, Cao Xing never said that he knew Chen Nuo, how could Chen Nuo know these things? Although Chen Nuo's words are 'famous is better than meeting' is enough to prove that they have not met before, but from Chen Nuo's words, it is clear that Cao Xuan understands very well, which makes Lu Bu feel relieved?
Lu Bu didn't want to listen to Chen Nuo continue to have a relationship with him, so he hurriedly coughed, took two steps forward, and said with a smile: "Chen Hou, I didn't come here today to talk to Chen Hou about 'General Xiahou', I think we should go back to the topic and talk about the previous incident." I have also learned about this matter, and the reason is that the general Cao Xing under my command is unable to restrain his subordinates, which led to a series of things that happened next. Although Chen Hou didn't care about this incident, I even heard that Chen Hou deliberately stood up to stop them when Zhu Ling's department made trouble, for which I am deeply grateful. But if you don't mention this matter, it doesn't mean that it's over, and I can't be blind. I was busy supervising the war, so I didn't have the leisure time to deal with this matter, since the thieves outside the city have been well-behaved recently, I think that this matter has not been dealt with is angry, so today I specially brought General Cao Xing to Chen Hou to receive the punishment, and I hope that Chen Hou you will deal with this matter impartially, and you don't need to save face, just do what you want, don't be polite. Otherwise, I don't have peace of mind. ”
When Chen Nuo heard this, he shook his head and said, "Wen Hou you can have this enlightenment, which shows Wen Hou's cultivation and admiration!" However, didn't I just say that if this incident hadn't happened, I wouldn't have been inspired, and naturally I couldn't think of a strategy to retreat the enemy with water, so in this matter, General Cao was not only innocent but also meritorious. After a pause, he added, "However, although General Cao Xing has merit, it is an unintentional merit; However, although it is not big, it is indeed a deliberate fault. With a heart to resist the heart, but two by two. Therefore, his merits are not enough to reward, and his merits are not enough to be punished, even if the merits and demerits are offset. I deal with it like this, I don't know if you have any opinions, do you agree? ”
Not only Cao Xing, but even Lu Bu didn't expect Chen Nuo to deal with this matter like this. Cao Xing is heart blossomed, although Lu Bu felt Chen Nuo's feelings in his heart, but at the same time, he couldn't help but have another layer of clarity: "I thought that Chen Nuo was very annoyed that Chen Nuo ignored me in this matter, I personally brought Cao Xing over this time, he probably wanted to take advantage of this to take a bad breath, even if it was to save some face for Cao Xing in my face, but in the end, I am afraid that Cao Xing would compensate Zhu Ling in front of everyone." If this is the case, it is what a normal person should do, so this person is not a cause for concern. But it's good, not only did he not pursue it, but instead ended the matter with 'merit and demerit', as if he didn't care at all, this ...... What was he thinking, why did he think the way he did, and made the decision he did? ”
Of course, Lu Bu couldn't figure out why Chen Nuo did this, but the parties concerned said so and were unwilling to pursue it, so of course he couldn't say 'disagree'. At that moment, he thanked Chen Nuo, and then asked Cao Xing to thank Chen Nuo and told him to go down first. However, when he let Cao Xuan go down, his pair of eyes stared at Cao Xing, as if he wanted to find the answer to his doubts about Chen Nuo from Cao Xing. Cao Xing was grateful to Yu Chennuo for not pursuing the matter at this time, and he could also breathe a sigh of relief, hearing Lu Bu's scolding, of course he hurriedly retreated, unwilling to stay for a while. He had this in mind, of course, he didn't notice Lu Bu's gaze that was staring at him first.
Seeing that Cao Xing had gone down, Lu Bu removed his eyes from him and looked at Chen Nuo. Chen Nuo looked at him awe-inspiringly, and suddenly guessed in his heart. Thinking about it, he brought Cao Xing to make amends, but it was just an appetizer before the meal, and the real main course seemed to be about to be served.
He'll see.
