"Really...really?" Mrs. Gan's beautiful eyes flashed with hope.
"It's necessary! My biggest advantage is that I can't lie or deceive people! Who am I, Lu Bu? Flying General!
Have you never heard of the red rabbit among horses and Lu Bu among men? I, Lu Fengxian, am a real man. How can I live here for a long time? How can I break my word? "
"But I heard..."
Mrs. Gan shut up in mid-sentence, glanced at Lu Bu secretly and asked:
"Since the general is a man of his word, he doesn't know when he will allow me to meet Duke Xuande?"
Lu Bu felt happy: This little girl obviously has no experience! Wouldn't this be easy to handle?
But there was a very embarrassed look on his face, and he said: "This... I'm afraid we have to wait a while."
"Why...are you still waiting?" Mrs. Gan's disappointment was palpable.
Lu Bu said, "It's a long story. How about we sit down and talk slowly?"
So the two sat across from each other, and Lu Bu asked, "Do you know why Straw Shoes Liu left you this time?"
Mrs. Gan bit her lips and said, "Didn't you...your generals attack Xiapi, drive away General Zhang, and then capture...bring me here?"
Lu Bu smiled bitterly and said: "Madam, you are too naive. How can it be so simple? What is my position? Xuzhou Mu!"
Xiapi is my territory! I asked Liu Bei to be the magistrate of Xiapi County!
Think about it, why would I send troops to attack my own county when I'm so good? "
Mrs. Gan frowned slightly, as if she really couldn't explain it, because she asked: "Then why..."
Lu Bu sighed: "Since Madam asked, Feng Xian doesn't dare to hide it. Please listen to me in detail.
The first time I met Straw Sandals Liu was at Hulao Pass.
At that time, in order to gain the trust of Dong Zhuo, the old thief, so that I could wait for an opportunity to kill him and eliminate harm to the people of the world, I had no choice but to join his army.
Yuan Shao led the eighteen princes to attack Dong Zhuo. I had no choice but to fight for Dong Zhuo.
At Hulao Pass, Liu Xian, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were unable to defeat me, so they held a grudge against me and made trouble for me many times.
I originally wanted to retaliate with kindness, and simply turn the hostility into friendship and ask him to order the Pi County Magistrate. From now on, we will all work together for the great goal of reviving the Han Dynasty...
What, why are you looking at me like that? Do you think I'm lying to you? "
Mrs. Gan shook her head hurriedly and said: "No, it's just that I heard Mr. Xuande said... Master Tao Qiantao asked him to be the county magistrate..."
Lu Bu sneered and said, "I am the Mu of Xuzhou and Tao Qian is the Governor of Xuzhou. Who has the bigger official position and who has the final say? Do you still need to ask?"
Alas, Straw Sandals Liu will naturally not say good things about me in front of you!
I can't believe that it was just a defeat that caused so much trouble!
If I had known I should have stabbed him to death in front of Hulao Pass to be clean!
Forget it, Liu Bei must have already described me as a heinous person. You still refuse to believe what I say now, so why should I use up my tongue? "
With that said, he stood up to leave.
Mrs. Gan quickly stopped and said: "General, please calm down, I have no intention of distrusting the general!
I don’t think you are a bad person, it’s just that... the general just wants to say, I will stop interrupting randomly..."
The beauty tried to persuade him to stay, but Lu Bu naturally wouldn't leave. He frowned and asked, "Don't you know what's going to happen next, Madam? Don't you know what Liu Xia Liu is leading his troops out of Xiapi this time?"
Mrs. Gan shook her head slightly and said, "I really don't know. I usually don't interfere with these military and political matters, and Mr. Xuande didn't tell me either."
Lu Bu sighed and said, "Then let me tell you! Do you know Yuan Shu?
Yuan Shu heard that I developed an iron mine and wanted to take it from me. This time, Straw Sandals Liu wanted to attack me from behind with Yuan Shu! "
"Ah?" Mrs. Gan's eyes widened: "How... how is it possible? Mr. Xuande is a gentleman..."
After saying this, I remembered that I had just said something without interrupting. I smiled apologetically and said, "General, please go on. What happened next?"
Lu Bu said: "God is wise and let me know the conspiracy of Straw Shoes Liu and others. They just defeated him two days ago.
Now I don't know where Liu Xian has escaped, so I'm in a dilemma when my wife asks me when I can send you to reunite with him.
If I want to send you away, I must first know where Straw Sandals Liu is now, right? "
"That's it..." Mrs. Gan nodded.
Lu Bu pondered for a while and said: "To be honest, I think it is really wronged for such a beautiful lady to marry Straw Sandals Liu."
Mrs. Gan's expression froze, and she said with a stern face: "The general is joking, I come from a humble background, but Duke Xuande is a clan member of the Han Dynasty, and has a distinguished status. It is my destiny to be able to be my concubine with Duke Xuande!"
Lu Bu smiled and said: "A clan member of the Han clan? A clan clan member of the Han clan who weaves mats and sells shoes?"
Apart from himself and his two brothers, I'm afraid you are the only one who is willing to believe it...
Forget it, I'm a gentleman, not a villain who talks about people behind their backs.
But... Madam, if you return to Straw Sandals Liu one day, you'd better be careful..."
Mrs. Gan frowned and said, "Why did the general say this?"
Lu Bu scratched his head and said, "Let's forget it, I'm afraid I'll scare you..."
Mrs. Gan became more and more curious: "General, please tell me if you have anything to say. Although I am a female, I am still a bit timid."
Lu Bu said: "Okay, this is what you asked me to say! Anyway, if I don't explain it clearly to you, I'm afraid my conscience will be uneasy!
Did you know that Straw Sandals Liu had a wife before? "
Mrs. Gan looked confused: "What did I think? It turns out that the general said this, so I knew it. But my wife was short-lived and has been dead for many years..."
Lu Bu asked again: "Then do you know how she died?"
"How did he die? Is there any allusion to this?" Mrs. Gan asked.
At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, there was chaos and plague, and people's life span was generally very short. Becoming a widower or a widow at a young age was nothing new.
But when Lu Bu asked this, it was obvious that the death of Liu Bei's wife was a bit strange.
Lu Bu said: "You must know that Liu Bei, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei are brothers of the opposite sex, right?
Although Liu Bei lived in embarrassment and could hardly survive, he was an ambitious man.
Because of the rebellion caused by the Yellow Turban bandits, Emperor Ling issued an edict asking each state and county to recruit soldiers to bravely resist the bandits. Straw Sandals Liu then thought that his opportunity had come.
By chance, he met Guan Yu and Zhang Fei. The three of them became like-minded and became brothers. "
Mrs. Gan looked at Lu Bu with some confusion and asked, "I know everything you said, but what does this have to do with... and Duke Xuande's official wife?"
"Hey, it's a big deal!" A sneer appeared on Lu Bu's lips.
