MTL - Three Kingdoms-Chapter 2717 everything is fine

  Chapter 2717 Everything is fine

  In the evening, the setting sun dyed Xihai City red.

  Lv Bu stood at the head of Xihai City, overlooking the Gobi Desert.

The yellow sand and Gobi in the Western Regions, and then the setting sun shines, and suddenly the sky and the earth are like a bright red. From time to time, the wind whizzes past, rolling up large swathes of dust, like the shadows of thousands of troops hidden in the wind and sand Same.

  The wind of the Western Regions is very interesting. It is not a burst, but a stream, as if it has a specific entity. Once a person is trapped in the strong wind, it is like being attacked by thousands of gravels, and the defense will be broken in an instant if the skin is thinner.

Of course, the sandstorms on the Gobi Desert in this uninhabited area in later generations are even more terrifying. There are even jeeps stuck in the middle of the road and then encountered a sandstorm. Although the car and people were not blown away, the paint on the car body was polished by the sandstorm. …

  It is the kind that directly exposes the steel plate and can be painted directly.

  Perhaps because of this, the people honed in the Western Regions have a somewhat sturdy aura.

  『There are a large number of horse thieves in the forward camp? ’ Lu Bu asked.

  Wei Xu nodded.

  Information from the military cannot be concealed. Lu Bu soon learned of the news reported by Chen Ada, but Lu Bu didn't pay much attention to it. Because he is no longer young. When he sees a beautiful woman, he is hard-headed, and when he sees military exploits, his eyes turn green. Regarding the word "horse thief", Lu Bu is somewhat uninterested, so he asked very calmly. .

  『What did Chen Ada do? ”Lu Bu frowned a little, “I heard about horse thieves some time ago, why are you so careless? 』

  Wei Xu nodded, "Indeed, as my lord said, Chen Ada was a little careless... But there are not many people in the forward camp, and horse thieves are hard to guard against. Sometimes negligence is inevitable." On the surface, it sounds like Wei Xu is pleading for Chen Ada's acquittal, but in fact he has put all the responsibility on Chen Ada.

   Lu Bu pondered for a while, "Well, what are you going to do? Do you want me to take a trip? 』

  Wei Xu straightened his waist, "My lord, don't underestimate me, I don't take this mere horse thief seriously!" Hehe, even if my personal martial arts skills are not as good as the lord's, how can I be afraid of these horse thieves with my lord's soldiers and horses by my side? Don't worry, my lord, I will definitely be able to catch it this time! Lord, don't worry! 』

  Lu Bu nodded, "Okay, they are horse thieves, you can go." But if there is something wrong, you must report it in time, and don't be greedy for merit... By the way, is there any movement from Guishuang? 』

  Wei Xu hurriedly said: "I haven't received any news yet. What the lord means is that this time it might be Guishuang's trap? But no matter whether it was the secret whistle or the eyeliner, there was no report that Guishuang troops were dispatched...』

  『Well, it’s fine if it’s not Guishuang...』 Lu Bu nodded, then smiled, "I hope Guishuang can send an army to fight a good battle!" It only takes one blow, and the Western Regions will be stable for ten years! It's a pity that these Guishuang people seem to be huddled in a mouse hole, refusing to come... Tsk! 』

  Wei Xu hurriedly cupped his hands and said, "My lord is wise! We have a master...'

  『Okay, okay, there is no need to say these words! Go get ready, be more or less careful! Lu Bu waved his hand, "On the battlefield, you must be bold, but you must also be careful!" go! 』

  Wei Xu took orders and left.

  Lv Bu looked at it, seemed to think about it for a while, and then patrolled around again, chatting and joking with some soldiers and the military academy, and then went down the city wall and walked home.

   Not only did Lu Bu not care too much, but in fact, many people in Xihai City also didn't care when they heard about the horse thief.

  These horse thieves are like the wind and sand in the Western Regions. Who knows when it blows up and then disappears. It is too common to hear...

   When Lu Bu returned to the inner courtyard, he met Xiaocao, and then he knew that his little girl had caught some cold, so he asked Xiaocao what the doctor said, and walked towards Xiaocao's courtyard.

Children are naughty, sometimes playful, and after sweating, they encounter a large temperature difference between morning and evening in the Western Regions, especially in autumn and winter. Naturally, they have some colds, but it is not a big problem. After taking some prescriptions, drinking a little **** soup, and sweating a little, I feel much better.

The little girl is very skinny, she doesn't look like her mother at all, and when she got a little more energetic, she made a fuss, and when she saw Lu Bu coming, she ran over with a patter, and hugged Lu Bu with a sound of milk. He called Daddy angrily, and then made Lu Bu show his eight big teeth.

  『What are you doing these two days? Have you encountered anything interesting? ’ Lu Bu asked while hugging the little girl.

"Yes, I have! storytelling! snare drum! Boom! Clap! 』The little girl waved her arms, if it wasn't for Xiaocao saying that she had a cold, she wouldn't be able to tell just by looking at it.

Lu Bu sat down and asked the little girl to sit beside him, then listened to the little girl's narration, carefully looked at the little girl's complexion, and felt that there was nothing wrong with it, so he laughed and said to Xiaocao : "Look, it's my girl, why are you afraid of the wind and cold?" no big deal! But you can't go out these two days, you have to wait until the wind and cold are completely gone. 』

  『Ah...don’t, don’t! ’ The little girl plunged into Lu Bu’s arms, and hugged Lu Bu with her head, ‘I want to go out! go out! 』

  『Ahaha, okay, okay, wait for two days, wait for two days, I will take you out, ride a big horse, okay? ’ Lu Bu laughed, ‘Didn’t you talk about wanting a Fang Tian painted halberd last time? It's heavy, and it's not suitable for you to hold it. I'll find you a short spear another day. It's almost the same as Fang Tian's painted halberd for my father. How about it? Do you like it or not? 』

"want! Want to want! 』The girl jumped up, waving her hands like she was holding a spear.

   Xiaocao smiled helplessly at the side, "Husband, if you give this to her, the family will not be in trouble..."

  Lu Bu waved his hand, let the little girl play by herself, and then said: "If you like it, try it first, try it, maybe she will feel at ease to study if she feels too tired from practicing martial arts." 』

"I hope so. ’ Xiaocao sighed.

  Xiaocao is now Lu Bu's wife, but Ru's wife.

  The little girl was distracted, and then went to play.

  Xiaocao watched, with some gentle smiles on his face.

  Lu Bu turned his head to look at Xiaocao, and then said with a smile: "You should also go out for a walk when you have time, ride a horse or something, this place is very similar to Jiuyuan, there is a very wide land, you can run anywhere!" 』

  Xiaocao nodded, but after a while, she sighed softly.

"What's wrong? ’ Lu Bu asked, ‘What’s the matter? 』

   Xiaocao shook her head.

  Lu Bu didn't believe it, and asked again, Xiaocao said in a low voice: "Actually...it's nothing, I just think...although it looks like...but it's not..."

   Lu Bu's smile slowly disappeared, and then fell silent.

  『Husband, ah, this...』 Xiaocao felt a little embarrassed, 『Husband, I didn’t mean that...』

  Lu Bu also sighed, waved his hands and stood up, "I know this is not my hometown, I know, I know..."

  Although Lu Bu's tone was not serious, it felt like a severe reprimand to Xiaocao, and she suddenly burst into tears, feeling at a loss.

  When Lu Bu saw it, he hurried forward and gave Xiaocao a hug, "It's okay, it's okay, I don't blame you, I miss my hometown too... It's just that I can't go back now, I can't go back, do you understand?" Wait for a while, we can go back in a few years...』

  Xiaocao leaned against Lu Bu's arms and nodded.

  Lu Bu touched Xiaocao's hair, then smiled, "Look, the girl is still young, isn't she, the road is not easy to walk, and when she grows up, isn't it just right?" Don't think too much about it. 』

   After sitting for a while, Lu Bu came out of the small grass yard, turned around the corridor, and walked to the inner courtyard further back.

   Mrs. Yan had been waiting at the gate of the compound early, and when she saw Lu Bu, she smiled a little: "My husband is well. 』

   Lu Bu nodded.

  Several servants and maids filed forward, took off their robes for Lu Bu, brought the washing utensils, one item at a time, step by step, and then went down in line again.

  『Oh, there are so many people every time...』 Lu Bu twisted his neck, 『Don’t you think it’s a little noisy? 』

"these people? How can there be so many of these? Madam Yan stepped forward and kneaded Lu Bu's shoulders and neck, "I heard that those aristocratic families in the Central Plains need a hundred people to serve them just for meals!" How many of us are there! I still think it's a little too small, it can't meet the status of your husband, you, the guardian! 』

  『The Great Protector! Hi! Lu Bu shook his head and laughed, "What is the identity of the Chief Protector?" I'm just a warrior. 』

  『How can my husband say that? ! Madam Yan put more force in her hand, but it didn't hurt Lu Bu, on the contrary, it made Lu Bu feel more comfortable, "In this Western Region, your husband is the heaven of this Western Region!" 』

"Ah ha ha. ’ Lu Bu smiled, and then said, ‘That’s not what you said... This is a big guard, it’s just like a local prefect, but it’s just a bit bigger here in the Western Regions. 』

  『Prefect? Madam Yan asked, with a look of surprise on her face, "So small? 』

  『The prefect is still young? ’ Lu Bu was taken aback.

   Madam Yan was also taken aback, "Ah, no, I mean, I mean... this, um, the prefect is just one place, the Western Region is so big, so many countries..."

  『So many countries are just one Western Region. ’ Lu Bu said with a smile.

  『Then…』 Mrs. Yan blinked, 『So which one is bigger, Marquis Wen or the Chief Protector? 』

  Lu Bu laughed loudly, "It's different, let's put it this way, one of these two is fiction and the other is real, they are not the same thing at all. 』

  In fact, it is not very appropriate to say that "Marquis Wen" is false, but those who have a title but no real power are prone to various problems, and sometimes even "the county magistrate is not as good as the current one". Lu Bu didn't know much about this before, let alone Mrs. Yan, who was born in the Northland with him at the time. Neither of them was very knowledgeable, and they only gradually learned about official positions.

   Lu Bu's current situation is a bit complicated, and his official position is rather chaotic. Dong Zhuo's, the court's, and later Yuan Shao's, as well as Yuan Shu's private promise, and now Fei Qian's enfeoffment, are all different from each other.

  Of course, for Lu Bu now, the one with the greatest authority is still Fei Qianfeng, the Great Protector of the Western Regions.

  At the same time, Lu Bu's current workplace in the Western Regions is also a bit complicated. There are Han Chinese who were in the Western Regions before, and some who migrated later. There are even those who belong to Feiqian, Li Ru, Lu Bu, Longyou Gang, Guanzhong faction, etc...

Before Lu Bu led the people to attack everywhere, the army was very powerful, so it seemed that the situation was more or less harmonious with each other, but after Lu Bu stopped, the people behind seemed to be unable to find any targets. Plus Wei Xu...

  Of course Wei Xu has been saying to the outside world that he is solving troubles for Lu Bu, but in fact Wei Xu caused troubles himself, but the problem is that Wei Xu himself does not understand at all.

Obviously, Wei Xu does not have Lu Bu's force at all, so in the Western Regions, which is relatively more advocating force, Wei Xu's name is not as loud as Lu Bu, and Wei Xu wants more people to listen to his orders. , He does not have Lu Bu's force, of course he will adopt a completely different method from Lu Bu's.

If at this time, there is a shrewd and powerful internal affairs figure like Li Ru in the Western Regions to govern, then that's fine. Even if Wei Xu bounces around again, there will be no troubles, but Li Ru's body can't hold on ,died.

Lu Bu was always going forward on the battlefield, with the air of a general, but after he stepped off the battlefield, he exposed his lack of aspects, just like his conversation with Mrs. Yan. Questions are not very clear. The so-called family background is like this, but whether it is Lu Bu or Mrs. Yan, or the current "family" composed of two people, they are all relatively simple and not very powerful.

  If Lu Bu can calm down and follow the strategy left by Li Ru, step by step, it is impossible to say that relying on his prestige in the Western Regions in the early stage, he can indeed achieve some feats that can be handed down.

  Current conflicts in the Western Regions seem to be unplanned, but Lu Bu has not yet shown his weak side. Many people in the Western Regions still think that Lu Bu is a terrible beast and dare not fight against him...

   As for these imminent problems, Lu Bu was not only not aware of them, he was even thinking of some other things. For example, he felt that it seemed that Xiaocao said that it would be good to go back to his hometown. Returning home after all is a good thing.

"I heard..." Lu Bu closed his eyes, enjoying Mrs. Yan's massage, "Jiuyuan is recovering well now... There are some descendants of Wang and Li who were said to be the descendants of the two people in the North Desert... they are building a city again , and it is repairing the plowing field again, it is very lively...』

  Madam Yan listened, then stopped her hands, and turned to Lu Bu, "Did you hear what that lowly maid said again?" 』

"what? Lu Bu opened his eyes, and then avoided Madam Yan's eyes, "How is it possible, I... have been away from home for too long, and I just miss it to some extent. This feeling of homesickness is common sense in human ethics. Why, don't you miss your hometown? 』

"In no mood. Madam Yan said firmly, "What is there to think about in that broken place, no matter how you think about it, it's the same." I said, husband, if you go back to your hometown, what will you do? 』

"do what? Lu Bu pondered for a while, "I remember...um, being a rich man? Buy some land, buy some cattle and sheep...』

  『Then herd sheep and cattle every day? Ok? You are a dignified general guard, the world-famous Marquis Wen, just to go home and graze cattle and sheep? Madam Yan suddenly became angry, "Husband, what are you... Even if you don't think about yourself, you should think about the child. You let the child follow you to herd cattle and sheep?" ! So these years you have lived and died several times, and for what? It's better to be in the Northland from the beginning, isn't it still grazing cattle and sheep, what's the difference? 』

   Lu Bu was startled for a moment. When he first left the Northland and defected to Dingyuan, apart from his hatred for Xianbei going south, he really only thought about doing some meritorious service and getting rewards, and then went home to buy some cattle and sheep.

  『Mmm…』 Lu Bu mused, not knowing what to say for a moment, his face somewhat gloomy.

Mrs. Yan is just an ordinary woman, she is jealous that Xiaocao is favored by Lu Bu, and she will scold Xiaocao, but if she really wants to harm Xiaocao, Mrs. Yan can't do it, she just wants to make a fool of herself It's just a matter of time. On the other side, she loves Lu Bu, takes care of Lu Bu, arranges all kinds of food, clothing, etc. for Lu Bu, and is busy with various things in the inner house. Proud, and of course more importantly, she is the wife of the chief guardian.

  Madam Yan hoped that Lu Bu would be a dignified figure, not a shepherd in the northern desert. Even if Lu Bu has a second Xiaocao and a third Xiaocao because of this, she can accept it, as long as she is still Mrs. Yan, so when she sees that Lu Bu seems to be a little displeased with her words, she will accept it. He quickly changed the subject, "Husband, don't talk about these unhappy things... By the way, didn't you say you wanted some "merit" before?" I heard that the 15th day of the seventh month is a festival of some kind, and then offering sacrifices to the ancestors and performing rituals for wandering ghosts is the most important way to accumulate "merits"! Husband, we are also going to do such a festival, what do you think?

"Oh? And this kind of rhetoric? Lu Bu also became interested. He has been thinking about the issue of merit recently. Now that he heard that holding such a ceremony can accumulate merit, he naturally felt very good. He nodded and said, "Yes, of course!" It's just that it's only a few days away from July 15th, is it too late? 』

  『I’ve been preparing for it for a long time! In time! Madam Yan said with a smile, "Besides, isn't Sister Xiaocao helping here?" Madam Yan only talked about Xiaocao because of Lu Bu's face. Of course, this kind of external affairs happened to be the best time for Madam Yan to declare her sovereignty. After all, although Madam Ru also enjoys the same treatment as Madam, But just like the vice president, it is always a deputy.

  Lu Bu didn't quite understand the relationship, or even if he knew it, he didn't think much about it. He just thought that he could use such a ceremony to feel what the so-called "merit" is?

  Since it is to sacrifice ancestors and comfort lonely souls and wild ghosts, then of course the bigger the puja, the more violent the "merit" will be? Didn't he just feel the changes more?

  『Then do it! Big deal! ”Lu Bu made a decision, “July 15th, Dafa will celebrate! 』

   But what Lu Bu didn't expect was that before the ceremony was held, the bad news came first...
