Even if Chen is smart, she has the limitations of the times, and she can't be as precise as Long Xiang, so her self-confidence is not worth mentioning.

A few days later, Yuan Shu's envoy arrived in Xiapi and temporarily settled in the post house to wait for an audience.

Lu Bu first summoned Qin Yilu to inquire about the details of Huainan, but Qin Yilu was in Xiapi and knew more about it.

Knowing that Yuan Shu was not suspicious, Lu Bu was still anxious at this time, like a student who had lost his winter vacation homework and didn't know how to face the teacher's inspection.

Qin Yilu left with his front foot, and Lu Bu stared straight at Chen Gong.

How to deal with the Yuan Shu envoy? Lu Bu had to rely on intelligence at this time.

"Gongtai, you haven't led the snake out of the hole yet, and Yuan Shu has sent someone to urge you..."

"It's me who underestimated that villain, he may simply want to seek revenge on Han Yin..."

Lu Bu saw that Chen Gong was 'short and skilled', and rubbed his hands to remind: "The new envoy has arrived in Xiapi, so you can't keep dragging it out, right?" What do you say about Han Yin? Hurry up and get an idea. ”

"After such a long time, Han Yin is estimated to be gone..."

Chen Gong's face was solemn, and he stroked his beard and said: "For today's plan, the general can only send his daughter to Shouchun to get married sooner." ”

Lu Bu asked: "What about Han Yin?" How to explain to Yuan Shu? ”

"Han Yin is just a matchmaker, you can use the excuse that he left Xiapi because of his homesickness, as for why he didn't return to Shouchun, we don't need to explain anymore, as long as the young lady successfully marries into the Yuan family, Yuan Shu will not be held accountable..."

Lu Bu's face was full of seriousness, and he affirmed: "It seems that it can only be like this, when is it appropriate to set off?" You choose an auspicious day for me. ”

"The sooner you have to do it, the better, as for the auspicious day and good day, let Yuan Shuding, it's too late to dream a lot..."Chen Gongzhi shook his head.

"Well, I'll have the dowry ready at once, and we'll leave in three days."

After Lu Bu finished speaking, he turned around and went to the back house, his wife Yan has been reluctant to marry his daughter far away, and he still needs to be comforted and appeased.

After agreeing to send his relatives three days later, the entourage of the Taishou Mansion asked for a dowry in the city, and Chen Gong easily prevaricated the envoy with lies.

The news of Lu Bu's marriage soon spread to the Chen Mansion in Xiapi.

When Chen Qi heard the news, he called Chen Deng and instructed: "You go to the Taishou Mansion tomorrow with the post, and you will say that it is your father's birthday, and please ask Lu Bu to come to the mansion for a while." ”

"Huh? Isn't my father's birthday on the eighth day of the sixth month? It's still in the first month..."Chen Deng didn't understand.

Chen Qi asked rhetorically: "Really?" Your grandparents are no longer alive, and who knows better than to be a father? I said that the day after tomorrow is the day after tomorrow, and we have been holding back for months, and it is time to do something. ”

"Got it." Chen Deng can understand it at one point.

On the second day, Chen Deng posted, and on the third day, Lu Bu came to the door with gifts to celebrate his birthday.

Chen Deng welcomed Lu Bu to the front hall, and Chen Qi hurriedly got up to salute: "Wen Hou can come to the banquet in his busy schedule, so that the old man's house will shine..."

"Recently, the state affairs have been cumbersome, and there has been less movement with the doctor, and Bu is deeply frightened, so today I will take the opportunity of the doctor's birthday banquet to toast a few cups to make amends." Lu Bu smiled and returned the salute with a fist.

Because of Han Yin's disappearance and the impact of the cold weather in winter, Lu Bu and the Chen family are not as close as they used to be, in fact, both sides are like mirrors, but no one took the initiative to pierce the window paper.

"Although the old man is not strong enough to drink, he is happy to see Wen Hou today, and he will definitely give up his life to get drunk later, please come in." Chen Jue waved politely.

Lu Bu also responded politely: "Doctor, please." ”

No one else was invited to the birthday banquet that day, and after the Chen family father and son took turns to toast with Lu Bu, the estrangement originally caused by Han Yin was mostly resolved by the wine.

Seeing that the time was ripe, Chen Jue took the initiative to provoke the topic: "The old man heard Yuanlong say that Wen Hou is preparing a dowry for his daughter?" When are you going to send your relatives out of town? ”

"Tomorrow." Lu Bu answered truthfully.

Chen Qi pretended to be surprised, and hurriedly asked, "Why are you in such a hurry?" Have you ever found someone to live by? Is tomorrow an auspicious day? ”

Lu Bu shook his head lightly, "It doesn't matter if it's an auspicious day or not, wait until Shouchun has Yuan Highway to choose a day." ”

"Huh? The old man heard that Yuan Shu had usurped the title of emperor, and his crown prince and concubine could be so sloppy? Chen Qi said again.

Lu Bu drank quite a lot of wine and didn't go up, and after listening to Chen Qi's words, he suddenly woke up.

The old guy is playing right and wrong again? I don't have the resourcefulness to come up with a halberd? When I'm so good at instigating Lu Bu?

"Now in troubled times, I can't be completely confined to the ancient law, and when my son arrives in Shouchun in a few days, Yuan Highway will obey the etiquette, so why worry? Today is the doctor's birthday banquet, let's drink happily and don't talk about other bad things. Lu Bu raised his glass and saluted.

Chen Deng originally planned to interject and argue, but Chen Jue took the lead.

"Wen Hou said very well, we haven't seen each other for a long time, we must drink to the fullest, and Wen Hou's marriage is a great joy, and the old man must send a congratulatory gift.

Yuanlong, you go and prepare first, and I'll take Wen Hou to get it later. ”

"Yui." Chen Deng left the table and took his leave.

"The doctor is really polite, if it weren't for the Chen family's righteous food last year, the athletes under his command would probably go hungry for the winter..."

Seeing that Chen Qi was so open-minded, Lu Bu was a little embarrassed.

Chen Jue responded with a smile: "With Wen Hou to keep Xuzhou safe, it is also appropriate to subsidize some food, even if you come to me if you have difficulties in the future, the old man will definitely do his best to help." ”

"Doctor Ender... Lu Bu... I'll toast you with another glass of wine. ”

Although Chen Qi may be a wine talker, he is not afraid to leave Lu Bu if he has something to say, he will definitely come when he encounters difficulties, so he toasts sincerely.

The two were drunk for six minutes, and Chen Deng returned to inform him that the congratulatory gift had been prepared, and Chen Qi got up and invited Lu Bu to pick it up.

Chen Deng led the way in front, and Lu Bu helped Chen Qi to follow behind.

The three of them walked slowly through the verandah, walked through the winding path, and came to the corner of the garden in the northeast of the house.

There was a hut in the corner that resembled a firewood house, and there were two Zhuang Ding guarding it with sticks outside, and Lu Bu felt that there was something strange here.

"Doctor, what kind of precious thing is it..."

Lu Bu pointed to the hut with a curious expression.

"Wen Hou will know right away."

Chen Jue first smiled slightly, and then beckoned to the guards and ordered: "Open." ”

"Yui."

Lu Bu followed in with curiosity and found that this was actually a small prison.

In front of it was a fence made of logs, in which a prisoner with a disheveled cape was imprisoned, crouching on the ground and munching on raw turnips.

Through the light from the opening of the door, Lu Bu found that the prisoner in front of him was as skinny as wood.

When he was guessing the identity of the other party, the other party's skinny body suddenly stiffened, and this person lifted the messy hair in front of his forehead, and looked at the tall and mighty Lu Bu with tears in his eyes.

Suddenly, the prisoner threw away the fragrant turnip, sat on the ground and began to cry.

"Wen Hou..."

"Doctor, what the hell is he..."

Lu Bu pointed at the prisoner with a blank expression, and said in his heart, Who is this guy?

Chen Qi stroked his beard and smiled slightly: "Wen Hou doesn't know each other?" This person is Yuan Shu's marriage envoy Han Yin, Wen Hou wants to marry his daughter to Shouchun, and it is not okay to leave the matchmaker. ”

"Doctor, what do you want to do when you detain Han Yin here?"

Lu Bu's face changed suddenly, and there was a question in his tone.

Chen Deng hurriedly bowed his hand and said: "General, please listen to my explanation, Mr. Han was robbed last year, and I rescued him unintentionally, don't blame the good guy." ”
