There are flowers and plants planted on both sides of the courtyard, which should be blooming just right at this time, but no one wants to appreciate them. Vertex novels update the fastest atrium is a pond, in which the fish play under the stone bridge, and the stone bridge is connected to a small pavilion in the middle of the water.
Sitting under the pavilion was a fat man, wearing a Chinese robe, sitting obliquely in the pavilion, his face full of flesh made him out of place with the scenery in the courtyard.
If Dong Zhuo's figure can be said to be strong when he first entered Luoyang, it is completely out of shape at this time. When he was in Luoyang, he was licentious. Since he entered Chang'an, he thought he was in control, and he became even more aggressive. It can be said that the shadow of the Xiliang General of that year is no longer visible in him, maybe a person can be easily changed.
Standing beside Dong Zhuo was a maid, holding her wine glass with her head bowed, not daring to say a word, if she looked more carefully, she could still see a slight trembling in her hands.
There was also a long halberd on his other side, it was not surprising that Dong Zhuo often carried a weapon when he went out.
There were not many people in the courtyard, except for the two people under the pavilion, there were only two guards standing at the door.
Dong Zhuo sat there without speaking, as if he was waiting for someone.
Probably after waiting for a stick of incense, a man came from outside the courtyard, wearing a black armor and holding a square halberd as tall as a man in his hand. The heavy footsteps of the man in the armor were silent It was evident in the courtyard.
"General." The guard outside the door saluted and stepped aside.
Lu Bu stood at the gate of the courtyard, looking into the courtyard.
Many people in Chang'an City dared not speak out when Dong Zhuo was brutal. Dong Zhuo himself knew this, because he was worried that someone would assassinate him, so he often let Lv Bu guard him.
It was the same when Dong Zhuo called him today, but Lü Bu looked into the courtyard with a slight frown.
It didn't seem like Dong Zhuo wanted him to guard him, but Dong Zhuo was deliberately waiting for him.
Although he noticed the same thing, Lu Bu still walked into the courtyard.
Dong Zhuo waved his hand flatly, and the maid beside him hurriedly bowed and stepped back.
"Xiangguo." Lu Bu stood in front of the stone bridge of the pavilion and saluted. He was Dong Zhuo's adopted son, but under normal circumstances he didn't often call him father and son.
"Lu Bu." Dong Zhuo's muffled voice came from the pavilion.
"Yes." Lu Bu raised his head, and the two stood on both sides of the short stone bridge and looked at each other.
Dong Zhuo grabbed a fruit on the table and put it into his mouth.
"When do I ask you to come?"
Lu Bu's eyes closed slightly, and he said calmly, "Xiangguo asked me to come when I eat."
"Then what time is it?" Dong Zhuo asked calmly as he put down his hand while chewing the fruit in his mouth.
"It's a little bit past the eclipse time."
Eating time is the time for facing food, usually from 7:00 to 9:00 in the morning, but after most people have eaten breakfast, it is considered that eating time has passed.
Judging by Dong Zhuo's appearance, he should have finished his breakfast.
"I asked you to come to guard, but you haven't come for a long time." The voice under the pavilion was cold, Dong Zhuo raised his hand and held it on the halberd beside him.
"Are you going to wait until I'm stabbed before you get ready?"
"Xiangguo, Bu dare not." Lu Bu lowered his head, and Dong Zhuo was probably trying to embarrass him on purpose this time.
"What else are you afraid of!?"
The hand holding the halberd was tense, Dong Zhuo's face showed a bit of ferocity, he directly raised the halberd and threw it at Lu Bu.
He is indeed not as good as before, but the strength in his hands is still there.
The wind under the pavilion tightened, and the curtains hanging on both sides were blown up, and the long halberd flew out. In an instant, it was on top of Lu Bu's head. Lu Bu didn't raise his head, and moved away dangerously and dangerously all the time.
The sound of howling wind almost fell close to his face.
"boom!"
With a loud bang, the halberd fell into the ground beside Lu Bu, and the long pole made of fine iron reflected Lu Bu's face.
It was ugly, almost somber that it was about to drip.
Gritting his teeth and clenching Fang Tian's painting halberd tightly, Lu Bu slightly turned his eyes to look at Dong Zhuo, with a flash of killing intent in his eyes.
Who is Dong Zhuo? He has led the army in Xiliang for many years, so he is naturally sensitive to the killing intent. What's more, at this time, Lu Bu's killing intent is hardly concealed.
Facing the pavilion, Lu Bu took a step forward.
"What are you going to do?" Dong Zhuo shouted coldly.
told him to stop.
Fang Tian's painted halberd shook in his hand, Lu Bu took a light breath, and clasped his fists to salute without attacking.
"Bu is terrified, go to the guard yard now, and leave."
Turning around and backing away, the two couldn't see each other's faces.
Lu Bu's face was gloomy. If he hadn't been the last one to dodge just now, Dong Zhuo's halberd would have really wanted to kill him.
And Dong Zhuo sat in front of the table, looked at the halberd standing upside down in front of the court, put the fruit into his mouth, and looked across his eyes at Lu Bu leaving.
Killing me? Lu Bu, it seems that you really have a different heart.
It was getting dark in the city, and it would be the time of curfew. Cao Cao dragged his tired body and rode from outside the mansion. During this period of time to rectify the newly recruited soldiers and horses, he was really tired.
"General." The guard in front of the mansion stepped forward.
"En." Cao Cao responded, wearily got off his horse, and handed the reins to the guard.
"Today, sir, are you back?"
"Go back to the general, not yet." The guard seemed to be used to it, and Cao Cao often asked this question these days.
"Really." Cao Cao may have gotten used to such answers.
After looking at the sky, he turned his head to look at the guard.
"It's getting late, the door can be closed in a while, you should go to rest earlier."
"Thank you General."
The guard nodded, with a look of gratitude in his eyes. In today's age, it is very good to have something to eat, and he dare not ask for anything more.
When Cao Cao entered the mansion, he took off his cloak in the hall, hung it aside casually, and sat at the table.
The maid in charge of tea stepped forward to pour tea for him, and the tea was still warm when poured into the cup.
"It's getting dark, let's light the lamp in front of the gate." Cao Cao took a sip of the tea bowl and said.
"Yes." The maid nodded and stepped back.
Cao Cao was left alone in the hall to drink tea by himself, when suddenly a voice came.
"My husband cares more about that Mr. Gu than his own family. It makes me feel a little bit like it."
The voice came, it was a woman who came out from the back of the hall, she should be only over thirty years old, she should be getting old soon, but this woman is still graceful.
Cao Cao glanced at the woman and said with a smile, "If you liked it, you wouldn't say it."
As she spoke, she spread out her hand, and the woman smiled, and sat beside him, leaning lightly in his arms.
The two sat together, Cao Cao drank tea quietly, the woman closed her eyes peacefully, and the hall was very quiet for a while.
The woman said softly.
"During this time, Zi has improved a lot in his studies, and Zi Huan has become more sensible. He has started to look like an older brother, and he will come to play with Zi Jian. Speaking of which, I really should thank Mr. Gu."
