News of the withdrawal of the Dong Dong Alliance soon reached Hedong County via merchants traveling north. Fortunately, seven of the sixteen caravans of the Wei family that had not returned came back one after another.
The remaining nine caravans are likely to be in trouble, and sooner or later this account will have to be settled. On this day, Wei Cheng accompanied Cai Yan to the bathhouse to take a bath as usual.
It is a rule set by Wei Cheng to take a break of bathing every five days in winter and every three days in summer. Wei's industry basically follows this standard.
Of course, except for the city guards and city guards, sergeants do not have holidays, but their welfare benefits are also the best. There is a separate bathhouse in Dingjunfang for them to take a bath every day, and there is an unlimited supply of soap.
Nowadays, many aristocratic families in the city have begun to follow the trend. It is becoming a tradition to take a break every five days, and Wei Cheng is happy to see it happen.
However, everyone squeezed in to have a day off, but they were a little helpless and couldn't even take a shower. As soon as Wei Cheng and Cai Yan came out of the box, they met several graceful girls.
The leader is tall, about 1.7 meters tall by visual inspection, with no makeup on his cheeks, his eyes twinkling with divine light, his long eyelashes still hanging with water drops, and his eyes flickering like bright stars.
Judging from the facial features alone, she is actually not as refined as Hao Niang, nor as charming as Zhong Chan, nor as scholarly as Cai Yan, but she is somewhat comparable to Xie Yu in heroic spirit, but does not seem to belong to the category of heroic spirit. More like a domineering masculinity.
Wei Cheng was very surprised as to why he felt that such a beautiful woman was born to be domineering, but just one look at her gave him the same feeling.
The woman seemed to be sizing up the couple as well. When she saw Wei Cheng holding Cai Yan's hand, an inexplicable glint flashed in her eyes.
The two parties passed by each other. Surprisingly, the girls did not seem to recognize Cai Yan and Wei Cheng and did not say hello.
This actually made Wei Cheng secretly relieved. He was really tired of encountering a group of chatty ladies every time he took a shower.
However, when he passed by the woman, Wei Cheng couldn't help but secretly glance at her long legs.
Because she had just come out of the bath, the woman's clothes were very thin. There was only a translucent tulle, and the lining was a cotton dress. It was also the most popular style in the clothing store... In fact, it was the women's sleepwear in later generations. Skirt, knee length.
Wei Cheng was secretly stunned. Not to mention his height, his calves were really long. Not to mention slender and tight, they were also very white and translucent...
"Does it look good, husband?"
"Well, not bad." Cai Yan: ???Wei Cheng: →_→
"Sister Lu, the young master just now is so handsome, and his wife is so beautiful. They are a match made in heaven."
"Yes, yes, and in public, he even supported his wife, so considerate!"
"That sister has such a good life. She is married to such a good man. She is so enviable." The leading woman's eyebrows slowly furrowed, and a hint of sinister anger suddenly appeared on her face. She said in a deep voice, "Are you envious? That's so. How about you being his concubine?"
"Uh..." Several girls looked at each other in silence, not daring to look directly at her... Why were they so angry when they were fine?
The woman's eyes were filled with anger. She turned back to look at Wei Cheng and Cai Yan who were walking away. She snorted coldly and said, "No man is good." A girl hurriedly catered to her and said, "That's right, that's right, just now he was peeking. Where are Sister Lu's legs?" A trace of embarrassment flashed across the woman's face, she glared at the talkative girl, turned around and walked towards the dressing room.
The girl cried with a sad face,
"Woo, did I say the wrong thing again?" Several companions spread their hands helplessly.
"What do you think?"...Xu Ding and Xu Chu's family. The two brothers welcomed an unexpected guest today. Xu Chu was afraid that his brother would suffer a loss, so he had to ask Wei Cheng for half a day to receive the guest.
"Brother Fengxian is not guarding Hulao Pass, why did you come to Anyi?" That's right, the person sitting in front of Xu Ding was Lu Bu, and there were several of Lu Bu's capable men following him.
Lu Bu cupped his fists and saluted, and said in a deep voice: "Brother Xu, Bu has something to ask of me." Xu Ding looked at him curiously, then turned around and looked at his brother Xu Chu, both of whom looked confused.
Now that Dong Zhuo's power is at its peak, the Alliance to Defeat Dong has been fighting for two months without gaining any advantage. The only defeat was when Zhang Fei beheaded Hua Xiong, which has nothing to do with the Alliance to Defeat Dong.
It stands to reason that Lu Bu should be celebrating at Hulao Pass at this time. After all, the alliance against Dong has retreated, right?
Seemingly seeing the doubts of the two Xu Ding brothers, Lu Bu cupped his fists and saluted, and said with a wry smile: "The matter of Lu going north has nothing to do with Yuan Shao and his ilk. It's a long story. Bu didn't expect that there would be such a serious person in this world." That person." It turned out that after Hua Xiong's death, Lu Bu went to war one after another and defeated more than a dozen generals in the alliance against Dong.
Among them were Fang Yue, Mu Shun, and Wu Anguo. The problem lies with Wu Anguo, who is as tall as Hua Xiong and uses a sledgehammer. If he were to fight Hua Xiong, he might be able to beat him back and forth, but what he is facing is a hexagonal war god. Lu Fengxian is at the top of the Han Dynasty dragon and tiger list, and the ending can be imagined.
This Wu Anguo was a subordinate of Kong Rong, the governor of Beihai. Kong Rong was a famous person with four layers of aura, who was admired and praised by people all over the world.
His profound knowledge that has been passed down for a long time, his benevolence and righteousness in helping Taishi's loving mother, his excellent moral character at the age of three, and his status as a descendant of Confucius made him a world-famous scholar and celebrity.
Although he was just a celebrity and did not have much political acumen or military ability, officials of this era valued family background and moral character. Even if Kong Rong went against Dong Zhuo, Dong Zhuo could not do anything about him, and in the end he had no choice but to demote him. Governor of Beihai.
Historically, Liu Bei was very excited when he heard that Kong Rong knew him. Guan Yu, who was arrogant among the heroes, was also eager to show his bravery in front of Kong Rong. If there were no Taoyuan Three Brothers, maybe Guan Yu would follow Kong Rong.
The brave Wu Anguo also surrendered to Kong Rong with reverence. He also hoped that like his name, he could follow Kong Rong to quell the chaos in Anguo. In this way, Wu Anguo, Taishi Ci, Zong Bao and others all became Kong Rong's right-hand man.
"After Lu killed Wu Anguo, he also provoked the Kong family and attracted that annoying guy... This man was skilled in bow and horse and had unparalleled archery skills. In order to avenge Wu Anguo, he shot me continuously. More than seventy scouts are simply abominable." Lu Bu clenched his fists, looking furious and helpless.
"Brother Xu, I would like to ask Brother Huang Xu to follow me to Hulao Pass. With Brother Huang Xu's archery skills, and supplemented by the Earthshaker's heavy weapon Zhusun Bow, I will surely make that thief never come back!" Lu Bu said, He stood up and bowed to Xu Ding with a sincere look on his face.
Lu Bu had seen Huang Xu's ability. He thought he was so good at archery that he was willing to be inferior. As for specializing in the art, he thought he could not lose to anyone when it came to using heavy weapons. However, bows and arrows were indeed better than others.
Xu Ding is the governor of the city guard, and Huang Xu is the archery instructor of the city guard. It makes sense that Lu Bu came to Xu Ding to borrow someone.
However, not to mention Huang Xu, any soldier of the city guard would have to ask Wei Cheng about this matter.
Xu Ding bowed his hands and said seriously: "If you really want to borrow someone, Feng Xian, I can take you to see the young master. Although Xu is the governor of the army, he has no ability to mobilize troops and generals. I really can't help him." Lu Bu frowned with thick eyebrows. , he just didn't want to owe Wei Cheng any favors, so he just came to see Xu Ding, and now he has to go back, wouldn't it be a waste of time?
"Brother Xu, I'm just borrowing someone. Wouldn't this be too much trouble for the young master?" Lu Bu still wanted to fight for it.
Xu Ding responded without changing his expression: "Fengxian should know that there are no rules and regulations, and without the Young Master's order, I have no right to send anyone out to perform tasks."... South of the city, Lu Mansion.
This is the house Lu Bu bought when he came to Anyi last time. He went north to Anyi again. He was very happy for his wise move.
Nowadays, Anyi is very rich in land. The south of the city, which was originally barren, is now filled with various houses.
.. Walking into the courtyard, a familiar scolding sound came to my ears. Lu Bu's face suddenly darkened, he walked quickly to the side courtyard and shouted angrily: "How many times have I told you, don't touch my weapon!"
"Old, the master is back..." Several maids bowed to the side tremblingly. In the courtyard, the girl held a Fangtian painted halberd, with fine beads of sweat falling from her forehead. Her eyes looked like stars, and she looked at Lu Bu stubbornly, without any fear or anxiety.
Seeing this, Lu Bu took a deep breath and softened his tone a lot.
"Ling'er, how many times have I told you, don't touch these iron tools all the time? You can't be like other people's girls. You can read books and learn to draw. Even if you are not good at it, it's good to practice female beauty." The girl looked on coldly and casually Fang Tian threw the halberd towards the weapon rack aside and said in a low voice: "You don't have to worry about me, just go and worry about your little goblin."
"Hey, why are you so ignorant, you little goblin? She is your mother." Lu Bu said angrily.
The girl paused, turned back and looked directly at Lu Bu, who was several heads taller than her, and said coldly: "I'll say it again, she is not my mother. If you mention it again, I will kill her." Lu Bu's expression changed. Eyes wide open with anger,
"You dare!?" The girl frowned slightly, raised her head and looked directly at him,
"See if I dare." There seemed to be a wave of air steaming between the father and daughter, and there seemed to be an arc of lightning flashing. They looked at each other for a long time, and in the end it was Lu Bu who was defeated.
"Okay, okay, okay, I will depend on you as a father, I will depend on you." The girl snorted coldly, turned around and left.
Seeing this, Lu Bu stretched out his hand to hold her shoulders and persuaded her nicely: "Don't be angry now. Tomorrow I will go with my father to visit the Wei family. You dress up a little and don't wear these men's clothes." The girl frowned slightly. frown,
"I'm not going." Lu Bu's face was slightly unhappy, but he soon put on a smile and said, "Are you serious that you're not going? Haven't you always been curious about who helped me build my Fangtian Painted Halberd?" The girl said. Her lips were pursed, her expression slightly tangled, and paired with her sharp eyebrows and starry eyes, she looked more or less like a little daughter.
Lu Bu said seductively: "Don't you want a heavy weapon? Go and ask tomorrow. There may be a special surprise."
