Lü Bu Quyi also talked about what Yuan Xi had done in the past few years. At that time, Yuan Xi went south to Guangling and the news of repelling Sun Ce had reached Hanoi. Lü Bu said: "When I was under Yuan Shao, I only heard about the eldest son Wu Yong and the third son. He is very scheming, but only his second son Yuan Xi is mediocre."
"I didn't expect that Yuan Xi would do great things in the past two years. It's really unexpected."
After drinking a few drinks, he put down the glass again and sighed: "Although Yuan Shao is not a good person, the son he gave birth to is quite capable!"
Qu Yi heard this and knew that Lu Bu was worried about not having a male to inherit the throne, so he smiled and said: "Marquis Wen is in his prime and has many concubines. In the future, his descendants may not be as good as Yuan Shao's son."
After hearing this, Lu Bu's brows became more worried and said, "I accept Dezhou's good words, but I'm afraid that by then, the world's general trend will have been decided."
He turned to Yan: "Listen, madam, this is what Dezhou said."
After hearing this, Mrs. Yan chuckled and said, "The husband will take in as many houses as he likes, and the concubines will help with the arrangement. It is best to be from a young and good family, who is worthy of the husband."
Yan sneered in his heart, thinking that Lu Bu had not yet given up his feelings for Du, and wanted to use this excuse to gain favor from him.
Yan was extremely wary of Du because Lu Bu showed unusual interest, not only because of Du's beauty, but also because of the favor that her beauty brought. This was something Yan was very wary of.
In the Han Dynasty, the status difference between wives and concubines was not as obvious as after the Tang Dynasty. It was common for concubines to be spoiled and their wives to be destroyed.
Even if the husband guarantees the status of the head wife, who can guarantee that the concubine will rectify the name of the biological mother after giving birth to a son?
You know, there are precedents for this kind of thing from the common people to the emperor!
If Du was favored by Lü Bu and gave birth to a boy, it would most likely threaten Yan's status, so Yan would rather Lü Bu marry a plain-looking concubine than Lü Bu and marry Du.
What's more, if it is spread that this Du is the ex-wife of Lu Bu's general, will the Lu family lose its reputation?
Lu Lingqi observed her mother's words and immediately understood her mother's thoughts. She helped by saying, "My father wants to take a concubine, but my daughter needs help."
Lu Bu's face froze, and he could only laugh dryly and said: "Don't mention these things for now, Dezhou, drink!"
The two of them had another drink together, and Lu Bu said dullly: "You said that Yuan Shao and I have a deadly feud, but Yuan Xi has been communicating with me in private. Isn't he afraid of Yuan Shao's blame?"
"What kind of medicine is this guy selling in his gourd?"
After hearing this, Qu Yi said: "Only Yuan Xi can know the inside story. If Marquis Wen is interested, why not send an envoy to talk to him?"
After hearing this, Lu Bu snorted coldly: "The Yuan family are all cunning people. He Jin was deceived by Yuan Shao back then. I'm afraid I will be deceived."
"Although Yuan Xi took the initiative to show his kindness to me, he is from Yuan Shao's side after all. How do I know if this is a scam?"
"You came to Dezhou to fight for Yuan Shao, but in the end he was killed. Don't you hate him?"
Hearing this, Qu Yi said, "It's impossible to say that I don't hate you."
"But has Marquis Wen ever thought about where to go in the future?"
"Now that there are two Yuans competing in the world, has Marquis Wen decided which side to support?"
"Marquis Wen has a grudge against Yuan Benchu, so he can only choose Yuan Gongli?"
"If Marquis Wen doesn't want to depend on any party, he can only stand on his own, right?"
Lu Bu heard this and sighed: "Yuan Shao wants to kill me, how can I join forces with him!"
“Isn’t that the same thing in Texas?”
Qu Yi thought that this was the most troublesome part.
Yuan Xi wanted Lu Bu to backstab the Black Mountain bandit, but the Black Mountain bandit was Yuan Shao's enemy. If Lu Bu wanted to turn against the Black Mountain bandit, wouldn't he be helping his enemy Yuan Shao?
Qu Yi sighed in his heart, Yuan Xi really gave him a problem.
He said aloud: "I heard that Marquis Wen is going to marry Yuan Gongdao?"
After hearing this, Lu Bu nodded and said, "That's indeed what I meant."
"Like Texas said, if I don't want to be independent, I have to choose a side."
"If you don't choose Yuan Shao, you can only choose Yuan Shu."
Lu Lingqi was listening, and for some reason, she felt a little confused in her heart. She couldn't help but lower her head and rub the corners of her clothes.
Yan's face was filled with a smile. For her, Lu Lingqi marrying Yuan Shu's son was a very ideal marriage.
Although Lu Bu had the title of nobility, he did not have the support of the aristocratic family. Lu Lingqi married him because everyone wanted to get what they wanted. No matter how you look at it, this is a match made in heaven.
Qu Yi listened, but didn't say anything, and started to drink by himself.
Lu Bu was surprised when he saw it. He suddenly thought of something and said, "Did Mr. Yinhu say anything about this matter?"
Qu Yi sighed and said, "It's a matter of heaven and earth. I can only say a few words of greetings."
"The gentleman said that Yuan Gongli may not have long life."
Lu Bu laughed after hearing this and said, "Are you saying that Yuan Gongli lived a short life?"
"Is it seven or eight years, or ten years? Or twenty years?"
Qu Yi said: "He will die unexpectedly within three years."
As soon as these words came out, Lu Bu's family was stunned.
Lu Bu said in a deep voice: "Sir, do you really mean what you say?"
Qu Yi nodded and said, "It's absolutely true."
Lu Bu said flatly: "I want to see you, sir."
Lu Lingqi felt happy after hearing this, she could finally take revenge on Hidden Tiger!
After she went back last time, she carefully thought about the Hidden Tiger's movements and found that its martial arts must be very superficial. If she hadn't injured her fist and used despicable methods after being restrained, there would have been no chance of losing!
If Yinhu comes to see his father again, he should come prepared and not beat the shit out of him!
Qu Yi shook his head and said: "Yinhu couldn't get away for the time being, so he asked me to come over."
"If Marquis Wen is really in a hurry, he can send someone to deliver the message."
After hearing this, Lu Bu waved his hand and said, "Forget it."
"But what Yin Hu said is really unbelievable. How could Yuan Jiujiu die suddenly when the sun was at its peak?"
He doubted: "Dezhou, tell me the truth, is this Hidden Tiger a member of the Yuan family?"
"Hidden Tiger and Fierce Tiger. The names are so similar. Is there no connection between them?"
Qu Yi's expression remained unchanged and he slowly raised his head, "Marquis Wen wants to hear the truth?"
Lu Bu looked solemn and said, "Dezhou, please speak."
Qu Yi slowly said: "Yinhu and Fierce Tiger have met."
Lu Bu was startled and sat up straight, "What did they say?"
Qu Yi shook his head and said, "I don't know, there were only two of them at that time."
Lu Bu listened and thought deeply. Even Qu Yi, who was a guard, was not involved. Could it be a very important matter?
However, his doubts about Qu Yi have been eliminated at this time. If the two tigers colluded and plotted against him, Qu Yi should have concealed the matter from him!
He said aloud: "What was the reaction after the fierce tiger came out?"
Qu Yi said in a deep voice: "I feel that there should be some joy on his face."
Lu Bu began to think about it, and the uproar about Yuan Xi's prophecy also reached his ears.
Lu Bu is not a nobleman, so he doesn't really believe in this, but he has to admit that many people among the noblemen believe in prophecies. This will be a force that is difficult to ignore!
If this prophecy is true, and if he becomes an enemy of Yuan Xi, wouldn't he be working against his destiny?
But Yinhu also came to find him. Does this mean that he is also a destined person?
The question that Lu Bu couldn't figure out the most was, what on earth is Hidden Tiger going to do?
He travels among the princes and acts secretly, just to do good deeds?
How can it be!
It must have a real purpose!
He suddenly raised his head: "Dezhou, did Hidden Tiger ever talk about who has the destiny to seize the destiny?"
"Yuan Shao? Yuan Shu?"
"I?"
"Or that fierce tiger?"
After Lu Lingqi heard this, she also pricked up her ears and listened attentively.
At this time, Mrs. Yan also noticed that something was wrong with her daughter's expression. She thought to herself that her daughter was interested in secrets?
Seeing Lu Bu's expectant look, Qu Yi just shook his head and said, "Yinhu didn't mention it."
"He said that although the stars can explain some things, the general trend of the world changes all the time, and human power can also change the situation of the world."
"He asked me to convey a message to Marquis Wen."
Lu Bu was shocked, "Please speak!"
Qu Yi said slowly: "It depends on human effort."
Yan said loudly: "Doesn't that mean that Yuan Gongli actually has a chance?"
"Even if he doesn't live long, maybe his son can achieve great things?"
Qu Yi thought that this woman's thoughts were obvious, so he could only answer honestly: "I really don't know Yi."
Mrs. Yan looked slightly disappointed. Qu Yi's words actually shook her mind to some extent.
She is not stupid. If Yuan Shu really dies early, it is doubtful whether his son can support the family business. After all, which of the current princes is more fuel-efficient?
Lu Bu saw that Qu Yi didn't want to talk anymore, so he had to persuade Qu Yi to drink. Both of them had something on their mind, and they drank more and more, until they were both 70 to 80% drunk.
The two talked about how they met when they were working under Yuan Shao, laughing and scolding Yuan Shao for being worse than a pig or a dog.
Lu Bu stood up unsteadily and laughed: "Dezhou, will you fight with me?"
After hearing this, Qu Yi laughed drunkenly and cursed: "I was injured, and I don't have half my strength left. I'm afraid I won't even be able to block Wen Hou's ten moves."
Lu Bu also knew that after Qu Yi escaped from death, his body was severely injured. The martial artist relied solely on the breath in his body. If his vitality was damaged, he would never be able to reach the top again.
He sighed: "Dezhou, what a pity, your halberd skills back then were outstanding."
"How about I tie myself up?"
After hearing this, Qu Yi snorted coldly, "Use a halberd with one arm?"
"Marquis Wen looks down on me too much!"
Lu Bu heard this and shouted: "Okay!"
"Bring me the halberd!"
The two staggered to the center of the yard, only to see several soldiers coming up with two wooden guns.
When Lu Bu saw this, he snatched the wooden gun and broke it into two pieces, and said angrily: "What I want is a real guy, what are you doing with a wooden stick!"
After hearing this, Mrs. Yan hurriedly tried to dissuade her: "Husband, this is a competition, using real weapons, I'm afraid there will be some mistakes."
Lu Bu didn't take it seriously and waved his hand: "Don't worry, Dezhou and I are both aware of it!"
Lu Lingqi still wanted to dissuade her, but seeing Lu Bu's enthusiastic look, she swallowed it again, thinking that even if she was accidentally injured, it would be Qu Yi's unlucky one, and her father would be fine, right?
The soldier had no choice but to go to the long side and get two halberds.
Lu Bu took it and weighed it, with a look of dissatisfaction on his face. This was not the most convenient stainless steel halberd he used, but a wooden iron-headed halberd. It was about a foot long and half the weight. Twenty pounds.
But thinking that Qu Yi's strength should plummet, this long halberd is just right.
Lu Bu grabbed the end of the halberd with one hand and shook it gently. The halberd trembled like a long snake. As his arm was raised, it vibrated and lifted like a dragon swimming in the air, and the tip of the halberd made a buzzing sound.
When the soldiers saw it, they quickly retreated far away.
Lu Bu shouted loudly, raised his arms high, and raised the halberd high. The tip of the halberd pointed at the sky, as if it was going to pierce the sky. Everyone present felt the air of oppression coming towards their faces.
He looked at Qu Yi and shouted: "Come!"
