Cao Cao frowned as he watched Guo Sheng being kidnapped. He couldn't help but secretly cheer for Xiao Yi and asked, "What's your name?"
Lu Junyi said hurriedly: "He is my adopted child Xiao Yi. His surname is Yan and his given name is Qing. People in Beijing call him 'Prodigal Son' Yan Qing. He is called Master and Servant, but he is actually like my younger brother."
Cao Cao nodded and praised: "He is a man of hundreds of talents and a loyal man! Such loyal servants are rare even in the Spring and Autumn Period."
Then he glared and shouted: "Yan Qing, for your sake, I won't kill Yuan Lu and you guys. Please let my brother go."
Lu Fang and the others looked at each other and thought, brother, how can that guy be willing to let me go if you are so empty-mouthed?
Unexpectedly, Yan Qing raised his hand and lost the small arrow. He stood up and clasped his fists and said, "Thank you Wu Dutou for your forgiveness."
Guo Sheng jumped up with a blushing face, kicked Yan Qing over, and started beating Yan Qing. Yan Qing held her head and shrank back, letting him beat her.
Lu Fang said angrily: "You just hit him before, but now that he lets you go and you hit him again, doesn't it mean that you have lost the dignity of a hero?" He stepped forward and hugged Guo Sheng and said, "When you are not angry with him, I will accompany you after the injury is healed." Come and give him a fair fight."
Wu Song also said: "If you are afraid that you cannot win him, I will teach you a few sets of fists and kicks."
Guo Sheng gave up after a few blows. Hearing this, he said with a smile: "If the second brother passes on my punches and kicks, it will be bullying him again. That's all, it's just this guy's ability, and it's just me who is useless. Next time I go into battle, I will definitely do it." Be extra careful.”
Cao Cao smiled and said: "If you think like this, it's not worth the pain you have to endure today."
He looked at Lu Junyi and said: "I think this righteous servant is willing to let you wait for a chance to survive. It's just that your family, Mr. Lu, has a great career and great abilities. If we become enemies in the future, although my brother is not afraid of death, if it's because of me, If I let you die, how can I face them?"
Lu Junyi was tortured by him several times. He was in a dilemma of life and death, and his ambition was much lowered. Hearing this, he clasped his fists and said: "If Lu says he doesn't dare to be an enemy anymore, it's empty talk, but Wu Dutou may not believe it. In this case, please bow your head." When you come down the road, Lu will follow you everywhere."
Cao Cao nodded and said: "It's easy. Then I won't make it difficult for you. I have two ways here. It's up to you to choose one."
"First way, Yuanwai Lu's martial arts skills are earth-shattering and the threat is great. Although my brothers are brave, most of them are no match for Yuanwai. If you want me to rest assured, you can cut off one of your palms and the sole of one of your feet. You will not be able to ride on a horse in the future. I can rest assured that I can't use the gun or stick."
Lu Junyi's face turned blue after hearing this. It wasn't that he was afraid of pain, but that he had to endure countless hardships to get this skill. It was more important than life, so how could he be willing to be a useless person? At that moment, he said bitterly: "It's like this, it's better to die. Lord Wu, please tell me the second way. If you can, do it. If you still can't do it, please take my life."
Cao Cao smiled slightly: "Although my honorable master and I are at odds, after all, we are not at the point of a life-and-death feud. Today, we had a big fight. You broke many people's hands, and my brother also shed blood. This chapter will be revealed. I have also heard about Yuan Lu's name for a long time, and today I have seen his skills and admire him endlessly. Therefore, this second way is for us to turn enemies into friends and become brothers."
Hearing this, Lu Junyi looked at Cao Cao blankly: "Aren't you afraid that I will pretend to be a coward and worship you as my brother in the open, but be your enemy in secret?"
Cao Cao smiled, solemnly said: "Although I fear your martial arts, I respect your loyalty even more! If you were not a righteous man, you would not have done so much for your master; if you were not a righteous man, you would not be able to raise such righteous servants. "If you weren't a righteous man, you wouldn't have come back to save this Yan Qing even though you were able to leave. If we become brothers in the future, if you really plot against me, it's Wu who doesn't know people well, and he deserves what he deserves."
After Lu Junyi heard this, he was immediately moved and thought for a moment. He solemnly bowed down and said: "My little brother Lu Junyi, pay my respects to my respected brother! Since we are brothers, I will respect my elder brother in the future and never dare to have any other thoughts. As long as I am not dealing with my mentor, I will do my best to do anything else."
Cao Cao laughed heartily and said: "With the help of my virtuous brother, the world will be free for me and others to do whatever they want. As for Mr. Zhou, even though he has different ideas from mine, why should I deal with him? Everyone can do his own thing."
After saying that, he dismounted, knelt down, and bowed four times to Lu Junyi.
When they got up, they were very affectionate to each other, but looking at the corpses on the ground, Lu Junyi was about to cry again. Cao Cao also sighed and said: "This matter should also be my warning. Now that there are so many brothers following me, we must not act like this." Meng Lang, otherwise brothers will only have one life, and if something happens, they will inevitably regret it."
Immediately, he asked everyone to work together and buried the servants who died in the battle on the roadside. Cao Cao turned the soil into incense and worshiped with Lu Junyi.
Standing up, Lu Junyi said: "Since we are brothers, how can I go there without stopping for a few days when my brother comes to Daming Mansion? If you have nothing else to do, you might as well go to my little brother's house. I have a lot of intimate matters that I want to talk to my brother about. .”
Hearing this, everyone, including Wu Song, felt tense in their hearts.
Cao Cao smiled and said: "To be honest, my dear brother, my foolish brother wanted to go out and stay for a few more days. Unexpectedly, he and his commander were a little unhappy, so he came back disappointed. Now that my dear brother has invited me, why not go? It's just a good time to appreciate the famous city. Prosperity, please.”
Lu Junyi's heart was slightly shaken, and he suddenly showed admiration and said: "Please!"
Everyone got on their horses one after another, each leading a few horses that had lost their owners, and headed back towards Daming Mansion.
Yan Qing and the few remaining servants saw that Cao Cao agreed to go to Lu Junyi's lair without hesitation, and they couldn't help but admire his courage. Thinking back to how ruthless he was in killing people without batting an eyelid, he felt both awe and respect.
Cao Cao and Lu Junyi took the lead. Lu Junyi was still reserved, but Cao Cao didn't care about the fight just now. He was smiling, talking about East and West, talking about the present and the past, just like brothers, talking about each other. During this time, Lu Junyi couldn't help but talk too much.
Wu Song rode behind, watching the smile on Lu Junyi's face growing, and secretly admired his elder brother: "No wonder my brother did such a great job in his previous life. He is really a hero with a majestic heart and majestic methods. Yuanwai Lu has such a family background and martial arts skills." , is already an outstanding person, but in just a few hours, my brother has worn him down to the point of losing his temper."
He also thought: "Now in the court, the high-ranking officials like Cai Jing and Tong Guan all say that they have clever calculations. If they really talk about calculations, how can they be as good as my brother's leg hair? Besides, these people only know how to calculate, but my brother is not. It’s omnipotent.”
Fan Rui also secretly convinced: "That jade unicorn has a face, he is a honest and kind-hearted person. He will not surrender until he surrenders. Once he surrenders, he will not be able to commit any betrayal. But even though I can see this, I really want to change him." I may not dare to be a guest, my brother’s courage is really rare.”
At dusk, the group returned to Daming Mansion, walked through the city gate and arrived at Lu Junyi's mansion.
As soon as he arrived in front of the door, a thin man inside got the news and crawled out to greet him. He was sweating and shouted: "My master, I am so rich and wealthy, but my life is so poor, how can I fight with others properly?" After saying this, he suddenly I felt something was wrong. There were not many familiar faces left with Lu Junyi, but there were more murderous strangers. Lu Junyi was also in a mess.
Lu Junyi's face turned red, he kicked him down and said: "Don't you see that I have a distinguished guest? You opened your eyes wide and told me to remember it clearly. This is the "Wu Mengde" Wu Daguan in Shandong, and he is also my sworn brother of Lu Junyi. If we meet in the future, he will Treat me the way you would treat me.”
After saying that, he smiled at Cao Cao and said, "This is the housekeeper Li Gu. He is as timid as a mouse and loves to make a fuss, but he is diligent in business. Now he is taking care of most of my family business."
Cao Cao glanced at Li Gu and said with a smile: "It turns out to be Butler Li. At first glance, he seems to be an extremely shrewd and sophisticated person."
Li Gu saw Cao Cao's sharp eyes and did not dare to look at him. He smiled and said: "I have seen high officials, but I don't dare to be praised by high officials. I am a villain..."
Before he finished speaking, Lu Junyi urged him: "Why are you so indifferent? Go and ask someone to serve you tea. I want to entertain guests in the flower hall. Then you go and watch in person, take a seat at the waterside pavilion, and treat the guests in my backyard." Get some jars of wine."
Li Gu agreed repeatedly and hurriedly went.
Cao Cao frowned and said, "Brother Xian, do you think General Manager Li is very timid?"
Lu Junyi laughed and said: "He is as courageous as a mouse! Several times I met him in the backyard, his face turned pale and he was sweating. He was afraid that I would blame him for being lazy."
Cao Cao sighed after hearing this: "Xiandi is indeed a kind-hearted person."
There is a branch of religion: Outside the Daming Mansion, he wants to slay the dragon, but his wings have withered and he has broken his righteousness. He extinguished his murderous intention and took pity on the prodigal son, and became a hero with heroic spirit.
