After nightfall, the city of Xiapi began to be closed at night.

On the streets of the outer city, the patrol marched, and the sound of messy footsteps was even more annoying.

The Great War was approaching, and the city of Xiapi was enveloped in a tense atmosphere. Shops were closed early, and there were no people on the streets.

Qin Yi sat at home alone and drank alcohol, indignant in his heart.

It's all the damn Liu Chuang, the battle of Pengcheng ruined Qin Yi's reputation and made him a very unpopular person.

Lu Bu originally valued Qin Yi a lot, but now he almost ignored him. Zhang Liao and others also disdained him, as if overnight, he offended everyone and offended everyone, and his position in Xiapi was also very embarrassing, and no one would pay attention to him.

After Liu Chuang arrived in Xiapi, Qin Yi felt more and more that everyone's gaze at him was a little strange.

Of course, he abandoned his wife and fled and fell into the hands of Liu Chuang.

No matter how you look at it now, it seems like a joke...... The most hateful thing is that no one stood up and begged for a wife for him.

This also made Qin Yi's resentment towards Liu Chuang much deeper.

Lu Bu led his troops and left Xiapi.

Zhang Liao and others also set off one after another, except for Cao He and Gao Shun, who stayed in Xiapi, it seems that everyone under Lu Bu has been appointed. Only Qin Yi was the only one, as if he didn't exist, no one thought of him at all, and he didn't even delegate any tasks to him.

This also made Qin Yi feel very lost.

"Betray the master's slave, and I will kill you."

Thinking of the hatred, Qin Yi slammed the wine glass on the table and scolded.

Fortunately, he lives alone, and there are no slaves at home, so no matter how he vents, no one will know.

At that moment, I heard a knock on the door.

Qin Yi glanced at it and pretended not to hear. Drink on your own.

In his mind, if he doesn't respond, the person who comes will surely leave...... To be honest, he really didn't want to meet anyone at this time.

However, the person who knocked on the door seemed to be very patient and kept tapping on the knocker.

"Uncle, I know you're at home, why don't you open the door?"

The sound sounds familiar!

Qin Yi was stunned, stood up and staggered away. Open the door...... Outside the house, there was a man in fancy clothes, watching Qin Yi open the door, he couldn't help but blame: "Uncle, why do you open the door late?" ”

“…… Mr. Juji. Why did you come late at night? ”

The person who came was Zhou Kui.

Although there is a night ban on Xiapi, no pedestrians are allowed to walk on the street after nightfall. If you don't have a token, you will be punished if you are caught. But in fact, whether it is in Xiapi or many, and even in Luoyang before. Any era, anywhere. There will be a bunch of privileged people who will not be bound by the law at all. And Zhou Kui is just one of these people.

Zhou Kui is a native of Xiapi and has quite a lot of assets in his family. It is a local Baume & Mercier.

Qin Yi looked at Zhou Kui and had some doubts in his heart.

You must know that he and Zhou Kui have nothing to do with each other. Although he had met Zhou Kui before, Zhou Kui would never look at him squarely. Always with a little disdain. First, Qin Yi is just an ordinary small character. Even under Lu Bu's account, he is not a big man. Under Lu Bu's account, Wu has Zhang Liao, Gao Shun Cao, even if it is Wei Xuhou Cheng, he is a hundred times better than him; There is Chen Gong in the text, and Qin Yi can be compared. Maybe when facing these people, Zhou Kui will have a good face, but he has no scruples about Qin Yi.

He's here today......

Qin Yi's heart moved, and he faintly guessed the answer.

"Why are you drinking?"

Zhou Kui looked familiar, his slightly bloated body squeezed forward, Qin Yi hurriedly dodged and made a way. Zhou Kui was carrying a bottle of wine in his hand and a small bag. I came in and took a look at the food and drinks on the dining table, smiled slightly, and sat down next to the dining table.

"Little pork meat, good!"

He turned his head and beckoned, "Uncle, why don't you sit down and eat?" ”

Is this your house, or is this mine?

Qin Yi suppressed his anger and stepped forward to sit on the edge of the dining table.

Zhou Kui smiled and put the wine jar to the side, opened the small bag, and it was indeed the barbecue made by Xiapi Hongfu Building.

"Hongfulou slaughtered a calf today, and I let the old horse personally handle the fire, and the roast was just right."

The thick smell of meat spread in the room, and Qin Yi couldn't help but swallow his saliva. Although the law prohibits the slaughter of cattle, it depends on whom. If you are a common man slaughtering cattle, you will naturally be unlucky. But if you have status, what is the matter of slaughtering a calf?

"Authentic Wujun Huiquanchun, hehe, I finally got it."

Zhou Kui smiled, opened the mud seal, and then tore open the layer of oil paper on it, and the aroma of wine immediately overflowed.

Nothing to do, be diligent, either treacherous or thief!

Qin Yi was expressionless, watching Zhou Kui eat and drink, and finally couldn't bear it anymore, "Julu, if there is anything, you can just say it." ”

"I heard that Wen Hou sent troops this time, but he refused to use you?"

"Wen Hou has been on the battlefield for a long time, and he has his own arrangements, and I will be the one who is the one who is the one who obeys the order."

"Uncle, I'm not worth it for you." Zhou Kui sighed, filled Qin Yi with a glass of water and wine, and said in a deep voice: "I know you, you are also well-known in Bingzhou, and you are a handsome man." If you are in Xu Du or under someone else, how can you be a thousand-stone master. But what do you look like now? His wife was snatched away, but he didn't even have anyone to stand up and speak for you, and he was even more despised. ”

As soon as he mentioned this matter, Qin Yi's heart was on fire.

He snorted, picked up his glass, and drank it down.

Although he knew that Zhou Kui was not good, there was an unbearable anger in his heart, "Mr. Julu, are you here to laugh at Qin Yi?" ”

"Eh, how could I laugh at you." Zhou Kui laughed, stood up, bypassed the food table and sat down beside Qin Yi, "You and I are both scholars, I just feel sorry for you." I think that Wenhou was also a generation of heroes back then, and the Tiger Prison Pass and the princes of the 22nd Road competed, and he was not afraid. But now? A little Liu Mengyan made him fearful, he was arrogant back then, and he had long since ceased to exist. ”

"Humph!"

Qin Yi sneered, "Mr. Julu, aren't you afraid of what you said, I'll repay Wen Hou?" ”

"If you want to report, just go, I'm choking, don't vomit or be unhappy...... Boyou. Tell me, who is better than you under Wen Hou's account? Zhang Liao? Cao sex? Or which one? As for Chen Gong, he is just a betrayer. He assisted Cao Gong back then, and later went behind Cao Gong's back. Hehe, mixed with Lu Bu, where is the bearing and demeanor of Chen Gongtai in Yanzhou?

Look at him, he is respectful to that Liu Chuang child, full of good words...... But what about you? Your wife was snatched away by Liu Mengyan. Has he Chen Gong ever stood up and said a word of righteousness for you? Uncle, I know that you are loyal, but I am from the bottom of my heart, and I am not worthy of you. ”

"Say no more!"

Zhou Kui three times twice. talked about Qin Yi's wife, and stirred up the anger in Qin Yi's heart.

"Tell me, what do you mean by coming today?"

"Hehe, smart!"

Zhou Kui showed a strange smile, "Yuan Shu is here today." Wen Hou did his best to resist the enemy, and Xia Pi guarded the emptiness.

I won't lie to you, I came to you today, and it was really sent by Han Yugong. Lü Bu occupied Xuzhou after that. The people are struggling to make a living, and the people are miserable. However, Lu Bu's reputation is so strong that everyone dares to be angry but dare not speak. So, Han Yugong intended. Welcome back Liu Yuanjun. ”

When Qin Yi heard this, he immediately gasped. looked at Zhou Kui in shock.

Zhou Kui took out a short knife from his waist and put it on the food table, "Han Yu knows that you are only learning, and I can't bear to see you tired of Lu Bu."

Therefore, he asked me to persuade you, as long as you are willing to join us, we will be a family in the future, and Han Yu will plan your future. You also know that it is the imperial court, and it also has great appreciation for Han Yugong. This time, Yuanlong's envoy was even more worthy of Guangling's duties...... If you are willing to come, the Han Yu Guild will be very happy, and from now on, you will be able to ask for glory and wealth; If not...... Hey. ”

"What if not?"

"Then you are our enemy, and you also know that Han Yugong will never be merciful to enemies."

"This ......"

"Uncle, you have to think about it."

Qin Yi showed a tangled look and was silent.

I have to say that Zhou Kui's words made him quite moved.

Lu Bu treats me like a mustard, so why should I be loyal to him? Look at him, in order to form an alliance with Liu Chuang, he completely ignored my humiliation and followed Lu Bu, what future does he have? But the question is......

Qin Yi's eyes narrowed, and he said softly: "I have a question, and I hope that Mr. Julu will solve my doubts." ”

"Please."

"I know that Mr. Han Yu has a deep foundation in Xuzhou and has countless servants at home.

But with this strength alone, I'm afraid I won't be able to defeat Lu Bu...... You must know that Lu Bu is not an idle person. The courage of the tiger, I know very well in my heart, few people can be opposed. If you want to welcome Liu Envoy, how will Lu Budang deal with it? His subordinates, Zhang Liao and Chen Gong, are not incompetent. ”

"Well, you can rest assured."

Hearing Qin Yi say this, Zhou Kui knew that this matter had already been done.

"Lu Bu and Yuan Shu are in a confrontation, and I am afraid that they will not be able to stop fighting in one day.

When the time comes, we only need to take Xiapi, and then fight with Yuanlong, and we will definitely defeat Lu Bu. At that time, are you afraid of Lu Bu? ”

"Hmmm......"

Qin Yi pondered for a long time and nodded slightly.

"Since Han Yugong is not foolish with Qin Yi, Yi should serve his life."

"Well, after three days, you manage to get the South Gate Talisman of the Outer City, and I will contact you at that time, let's open the South Gate, and then take Xiapi. When Liu Zhijun returns to Xuzhou, you will be the first to do it. With the kindness of Liu Zhijun, he will not treat you badly. ”

"Well, that's it."

"Also, the military horses in the city, do you know the situation?"

Qin Yi thought for a while, and said in a deep voice: "Lu Buliu, Cao Shulong, and Gao Xiaogong are in Xiapi, and they have to be more careful.

Especially that Gao Xiaogong, who has always been calm, I am afraid it will be difficult to deal with. In addition, Lu Bu also let Liu Chuang stay in Xiapi, which is also a trouble.

If Gao Xiaogong can't be solved, I'm afraid it will not be easy to seize Xiapi. ”

Gao Shun?

Zhou Kui didn't particularly care.

In his eyes, Cao Xing is the enemy in his heart.

"You don't have to worry about this matter, Han Yu has his own arrangements."

Zhou Kui asked about some things about the defense of the city, and Qin Yi also answered them one by one.

Zhou Kui was very happy, and he had another wine with Qin Yi, and then he left satisfied. Seeing Zhou Kui leave, Qin Yi let out a sigh of relief. He sat at the dining table, one moment crying, the other laughing...... At the end, he picked up the short knife left by Zhou Kui and stabbed it on the dining table.

"Lu Bu, since you are unkind to me, don't blame me for being unjust to you!"

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

After Lü Bu led his troops to leave Xiapi, Liu Chuang was left behind.

In fact. In his heart, Liu Chuang really wanted to go with Lu Bu, he wanted to see how Lu Bu commanded the cavalry battle!

In his impression, Lu Bu seemed to have won a big victory in this battle.

But Chen Gong persuaded him, "Gongzi should stay in Xiapi." ”

"Why is that?"

"Actually, this battle is a battle for the prince to show his bravery, and if the prince also participates, it will inevitably make the prince unhappy.

Staying in Xiapi is actually an extremely important thing. I thought that Chen Hanyu was humiliated by his son. But there is no movement for a long time, there must be a plan. The son stayed because he shared the worries of the prince and the marquis...... Don't forget jì, Xiapi is the foundation of the prince, and the prince wants to entrust it to the prince. But it's hard to open your mouth after all. So he entrusted me and asked Gongzi to take care of him, and if necessary, Gao Shun and Cao Xing would obey Gongzi's dispatch. The prince left a big seal on the side of the bell, and if necessary, the prince could ask the bell for it. ”

Liu Chuang was stunned when he heard Chen Gong's words.

But soon. He understood what Lu Bu meant......

Lu Bu, this is to show him sincerity. Gao Shun said that Cao Xing was one of the eight strong generals who followed Lu Bu to fight in the south and the north, and he had prestige in the army. Second only to Zhang Liao. If you want Cao Xing to obey orders, it is not an easy task. If there is no seal from Lu Bu, I am afraid it will be difficult to send it.

Liu Chuang thought for a moment, and then agreed to the matter.

Stay, stay. Anyway, the main purpose of his trip was to form an alliance with Lu Bu. And Lu Bu's attitude integrates Liu Chuang's mind.

Next. Chen Gong left.

Liu Chuang stayed in Xiapi, looking a little idle.

Fortunately, there is a bell Lu Lan who often accompanies him to relieve his boredom, which makes the boring life a little more interesting.

"Fat Liu, tomorrow my little lady will invite you to dinner and wine in Hongfu Building, don't be late."

"Huh?"

Liu Chuang was stunned and looked at Lu Lan suspiciously, "Your little lady?" ”

He immediately came to his senses, and the 'little lady' that Lu Lan said should be Diao Chan.

Diao Chan wants to invite me to drink? Liu Chuang's heart couldn't help but suddenly become nervous and pounded.

He felt some indescribable excitement, just because the person who invited him to eat and drink was Diao Chan...... Of course, Liu Chuang wouldn't think that Diao Chan invited him to have some super friendship relationship, and Liu Chuang thought that he didn't have that much charm. Presumably for Lu Lan, Liu Chuang was not worried. Since he decided to form an alliance, Liu Chuang didn't mind and married Lu Lan. After all, he also likes Lu Lan a lot.

But, that's Diao Chan!

One of the four beauties of China...... As long as it is a future generation, who does not have some illusions about Diao Chan.

He also wanted to see what this Diao Chan looked like, which could make Lu Bu and Dong Zhuo jealous, and even the last two turned against each other.

Therefore, Liu Chuang was a little excited.

Early the next morning, he got up, changed his clothes, and took Zhou Cang to Hongfu Building for a banquet.

This Hongfu Building is located on the north street of Baimenlou in Xiapi, and is quite famous in Xiapi.

The restaurant is divided into three floors, with a panoramic view of the royal city and Baimenlou Street.

Liu Chuang came to the outside of Hongfu Building according to the appointed time, and saw that Lu Lan was already waiting outside the door, and when he saw him coming, he hurriedly ran forward.

"Fat Liu, why are you coming late?"

"It's not like noon...... It's probably not yet noon. ”

"Then you should have come early, too!" Lu Lan immediately said arrogantly, and then her pretty face turned red, and she said softly: "Originally, my mother should have come to see you, but the day before yesterday, my father went on the expedition, and my mother was a little worried, so she was a little unwell, so she asked the little lady to serve you with wine on her behalf." ”

"Catch the wind, don't worry about it."

Liu Chuang was confused, "When I went to Xiapi that day, Wen Hou took the wind for me." ”

"Stupid, daddy catches the wind for you, it's daddy who catches the wind for you; Now it's my mother who wants to catch the wind for you...... You, you, you...... How stupid! ”

Lu Lan's voice became smaller and smaller, and Liu Chuang seemed to understand a little.

Diao Chan invited him to eat and drink, probably because he was sent by Mrs. Yan.

I'm afraid this wine is not very tasty!

"By the way, is your father's seal in your hand?"

"yes."

"Send someone for me in the evening."

"Hmm!"

If Lu Bu knew that his daughter would send the seal letter out so easily, I am afraid that he would cry bitterly.

He handed the seal letter to Lu Lan just in case.

But he didn't expect that Lu Lan would actually hand over the seal letter to Liu Chuang like this.

Of course, it is fortunate that Liu Chuang has no interest in Xuzhou, otherwise......

Liu Chuang followed Lu Lan to Hongfu Tower, but found that the entire third floor had been taken down.

A beautiful woman dressed up sits against the railing.

There were more than a dozen retainers standing around, all of them with shy chests and bellies, quite imposing.

"Little lady, Liu Gongzi is here."

Lu Lan was like a happy lark, so she ran to the beautiful woman and sat down.

This is the Diao Chan?

After Liu Chuang went upstairs, he secretly looked at it twice, and couldn't help but praise himself secretly in his heart: It's really a beauty, it's really a beauty!

Of course, how beautiful do you say Diao Chan is?

Well...... She is indeed very beautiful, graceful, dignified and groomed.

After all, she is a female official of the palace, and if she is not beautiful, it is unlikely that she will be able to. If you compare them to them, the appearance is slightly better...... But Liu Chuang felt that if it was really glamorous and foxy, it was Du Shi who was more foxy. The main thing is that this Diao Chan has a temperament that makes Liu Chuang dare not give birth to blasphemy.

Hollow Valley Orchid?

Well, that's pretty appropriate.

"Liu Chuang, I've seen Madame."

Liu Chuang stepped forward and bowed to Diao Chan.

But seeing Diao Chan smiling slightly, Liu Chuang's eyes couldn't help but light up.

"Liu Gongzi, today was supposed to be a banquet for his wife, but unfortunately she was unwell, so she asked the concubine to come and do it for her.

If the prince is there, he can hold a banquet in the royal city. Now that the prince is not here, there are mostly women in the royal city, so it is a little inconvenient, and I hope that Gongzi Haihan. ”

When Lu Bu first came to Xuzhou, he set up a banquet to entertain Lu Bu.

At the banquet, he asked Mrs. Yan to toast, but it annoyed Liu Bei.

Therefore, Mrs. Yan also had a lot of worries, so she asked Diao Chan to hold a banquet to entertain Liu Chuang in private.

Liu Chuang hurriedly thanked him, he knelt down by the railing, and felt a little uncomfortable under Diao Chan's eyes like autumn water.

Unable to help but lower his head, he coughed lightly.

But at this moment, his gaze suddenly fell on the street outside, and his eyes couldn't help but narrow, revealing a thoughtful expression.
