"Yes. Vertex novels are updated the fastest." Cao Cao let out a sigh of relief, and patted the woman on the shoulder: "If it wasn't for her, I wouldn't be able to come back from the battle at that time. I really don't know how to repay her." .”
"How else can I say, how lucky are you?" The woman covered her mouth and smiled, getting up to refill Cao Cao's tea bowl.
"Hahaha." Cao Cao laughed out loud.
Looking at the hall, he said with emotion.
"It's true that I'm lucky, but I don't have enough virtue, but I can get so many people to help me."
As he spoke, he looked at the woman, slowly reached out and patted her hand, and gently wrapped his arms around her shoulders.
"Mr. Gu's education can be regarded as a national scholar, and he is like a bole to me."
As he spoke, he leaned wearily on the woman's body and murmured.
"In such troubled times, I don't know how long I can keep you guys safe. If something happens to me, with Mr. Gu and Yuan keeping them here, I can rest assured of you."
"Zi has just grown up, Zi Huan and Zi Jian are still young, you can't ignore it." The woman shook his hand instead and said seriously.
"Well, no." Cao Cao replied in a low voice.
He looked at the woman in his arms and only dared to smile quietly, not daring to show any other appearance, he should be the same as every husband and father.
But in this world, who knows? Where will one day die.
There is no righteousness when raising troops to fight against thieves, nor is there the decisiveness when chasing Dong Zhuo.
At this time, he was like an ordinary person, just hugging his wife lightly and saying nothing, including everything he wanted to say.
It was going to be night, and the curfew in the city would not allow people to pass, but Gu Nan had Cao Cao's letter, so he could enter the city.
In front of the mansion, the guards in front of the gate have retreated, and the gate will be closed soon, and the guards will not be on duty outside the gate at night.
A maid was standing in front of the door, lighting a lantern, holding up the wooden stick with the lamp on her feet, trying to hang the lantern on the eaves of the door.
On one side of the street, a man in a white hat led a little girl towards the front of the house.
Walking to the front of the mansion, the man in white stopped when he saw the maid hanging the lamp.
"There is no one at night, what is the girl doing lighting a lamp in front of the door?"
The maid stepped on her feet, and the wooden sticks for hanging the lamps still couldn't reach the eaves of the door.
Hearing a voice behind him, he thought it was a passerby returning home. Someone had asked about this before.
Without looking back, he continued to raise the wooden stick a little higher.
"The husband at home has not returned, so the general asked me to light a lamp in front of the door. If the husband comes back at night, it will be nice to clear the way."
The voice behind him paused, then chuckled a few times.
"It's so late, and you are still being asked to work hard. Your general is really unreasonable."
"It's hard work." The wooden stick in the maid's hand finally touched the eaves of the door, hung the lantern on it, and let out a light breath.
"The general and sir have treated me very well."
This mansion is much better than other places, and the general is not harsh on his servants. She has met the gentleman who has not returned. When she poured tea for him, he even said thank you to her.
The maid turned her head and saw a man in white with a girl.
"gentlemen?"
"Hehe." Gu Nan led Lingqi to the door: "I'm back too, you should go to rest earlier."
"Yes, yes." The maid probably nodded shyly, "I'll tell the general."
With that said, he trotted back to the mansion.
Gu Nan stood in front of the door and looked up at the lamp.
The lamp flickered a few times, illuminating under the door.
Lingqi also raised her head, and suddenly said: "Master, I used to light lights in front of my house."
"Oh, who are you waiting for?"
"Wait for my dad."
"yes?"
Li Ru came from outside the courtyard with a letter, and on the way, he happened to meet Lu Bu.
I saw Lu Bu's face was ugly, and there was a little evil in his eyes, which made the guards on both sides dare not make a sound.
Even when he looked at it, he felt a chill in his heart. He glanced at the direction Lu Bu was coming from. He should have just walked out of the courtyard where Xiangguo was.
Could it be that something happened to this appearance
Li Ru's eyes moved slightly, and he stepped forward to stop Lu Bu.
"General, did you just come back from Xiangguo?"
Blocked by Li Ru, Lu Bu stopped, glanced at him, and finally replied in a deep voice, "Yes."
"Look at the general's appearance, but what happened?"
Li Ru couldn't be blamed for his overthinking. At this time, the situation was initially settled. If there was a gap between Lu Bu and Dong Zhuo, there was a high possibility that something would go wrong.
Now that the vassals of the Central Plains are fighting, they only need to stabilize Chang'an, but if they make mistakes internally, it may ruin the event.
Lu Bu narrowed his eyes, apparently not intending to answer, he just said, "I have something to do, so I'll take my leave first."
He bypassed Li Ru and left.
Li Ru stood where he was, looking back at the direction Lu Bu left, with a very bad premonition in his heart.
Holding the book in his hand, Li Ru thought for a while and walked towards the courtyard.
"Xiangguo, the doctor ordered me to see you."
The guard stood beside Dong Zhuo and said.
Dong Zhuo was eating the fruit, and when he heard the guard's words, he paused: "Li Ru?"
"Let him in."
"yes."
Li Ru came in from outside the courtyard with the book, walked across the stone bridge, and walked in front of Dong Zhuo.
"What's your business?" Dong Zhuo asked calmly, leaning on his seat. .
Li Ru glanced at Dong Zhuo, and saw a bit of coldness on his face.
Handed over the paper in his hand: "There are some matters in the court that need to be reviewed by the Prime Minister."
"Yeah." Dong Zhuo stretched out his hand: "Bring it here."
Putting the book in his hand, Li Ru lowered his head and thought about it.
"Xiangguo, when I entered the courtyard just now, I saw Wen Hou leave, with an ugly expression on his face, what happened?"
Holding the book, Dong Zhuo didn't flip through it, but threw it on the table.
Li Ru has always been under his command as a planner, Dong Zhuo was not surprised when asked about this matter.
After telling Li Ru the whole story, Dong Zhuo looked at him.
"Do you think Lu Bu can still be trusted?"
Li Ru also frowned at this time, and said after thinking for a long time.
"Xiangguo, it's too rash to conclude that Wen Hou has two minds just because of this."
"The situation is unstable at this time. If Xiangguo creates a estrangement with Wenhou at this time, it will be used by those who are interested. It is better to have a stable relationship with Wenhou. As for Diao Chan, if Wenhou wants it, so what if Xiangguo just gives it to him? "
"Xiangguo should focus on the overall situation."
Dong Zhuo raised his eyebrows and waved his hands: "I see, you can go down."
As for whether he listened to Li Ru's words, no one knew.
But Dong Zhuo at least believed in one thing, he definitely didn't feel wrong about Lu Bu's killing intent towards him just now.
It is impossible for him to let a person who wants to kill him be by his side.
