Lu Bu couldn't help laughing: "Brother, I am twenty-eight years old this year (Note 1), eleven years older than you. I think Diao Chan's name is very nice. I will start the Queen Mother and change Diao Chan's name to Guanying Guan. From now on, you are the only one in the world, and you are the only one in the world. Do you think this is good?"

Diao Chan was shocked by Lu Bu's heroic spirit. She never expected that a humble female official could allow the court to change his official title for her. Perhaps because she had heard of Lu Bu's many heroic deeds for a long time, she had an inexplicable heroic worship for him.

However, this hero is not far from reaching. He stands in front of him, kind and cute, with a nice smile.

Diao Chan is in the jealous Empress Dowager He who is extremely jealous. It can be said that "three hundred and sixty days a year, the wind, sword, frost and sword are stern." She knows that many palace maids were favored by Emperor Ling to be pregnant and were poisoned by Empress Dowager He. At a young age, she quickly learned to keep a low profile. She always dressed up her ugly clothes and tried her best to avoid Emperor Ling of Han until he died. Diao Chan thought she had to be safe, but who knew that Yuan Shao and others killed the ten eunuchs to cause chaos in the Luoyang Palace City. Diao Chan was in the Luoyang City for more than a year and almost never laughed, but in front of Lu Bu, she could not control the warmth and happiness in her heart.

When Diao Chan heard Lu Bu say that he was twenty-eight years old and was a young man, she boldly raised her head and looked at him carefully.

I saw that Lu Bu was extremely tall, more than nine feet tall, with ape-armed and bee-bee waist, straight and symmetrical, with a golden crown on his head, a flower-like battle robe, a Tang Dynasty armor, a lion-man treasure belt, and a square sky painting halberd in his hand, majestic. Looking at Lu Bu's face, he had lived in the grassland for a long time, his skin was a bit bronze, but his skin was delicate and smooth, and he was not like a military general who had been on the battlefield for a long time. His facial features were clear, his straight nose bridge, and his thin lips seemed a little unruly, his eyes were as bright as stars, bright and spiritual, as if there was a flash of lightning in his eyes.

Diao Chan and Lu Bu looked at each other with their eyes. Lu Bu couldn't help but feel excited. When the lightning was released, Diao Chan received the lightning, her pink face turned red, she lowered her head shyly, and said coquettishly: "You are lying, I think you are only in your early twenties."

Lu Bu thought to himself, that's not true. He had just graduated from college since the 21st century and was only twenty-one years old. Could it be that a young soul can make his appearance younger and look born from the heart?

Lu Bu thought about the many things he had to do in this day, and had no time to develop feelings for Diao Chan, nor did he ask Diao Chan for advice, so he made the decision to let her live in his home first.

Lu Bu remembered that his father-in-law Yan Mu was a great merchant in Bingzhou. He had a house in Luoyang City, so he called his personal guard Li Hei to approach: "Taibai, you can lead ten brothers to protect this girl to my father-in-law's house. If there are evil people who are unhappy on the road, you will definitely be killed."

Li Hei was born in a humble family and did not have the word Guan. Lu Bu thought his personality was very interesting, so he gave him a very funny word, Taibai. Every time he called Li Hei, Lu Bu felt a spoof pleasure.

Li Hei is indeed very dark, but he used to be so tanned by the sun in the grassland. He is fat and looks cute, but in fact he is very smart and capable in dealing with people and things.

Li Hei frowned and walked forward: "Report to General, the lady is waiting in that house to see the general. It is not appropriate for me to send this girl over."

Lu Bu suddenly raised his eyebrows and asked, "Wei Xu didn't tell his cousin, who told him back to Bingzhou too much? I wonder if my wife is in poor health?"

Li Hei hesitated for a moment, and plucked up the courage and said, "I heard that Hao Meng sent someone back to notify me."

Lu Bu remembers that when he followed his father to join Ding Yuan, Lu Bu was under Hao Meng. When Lu Bu repelled the Xianbei invasion, he saved Yan Mu's family. Yan Mu saw that Lu Bu was very talented and martial arts, he decided to marry his daughter to Lu Bu. At that time, Hao Meng also sent someone to the Yan family to propose marriage, but Yan Mu refused. From then on, Lu Bu and Hao Meng were incompatible, but Hao Meng saw that Lu Bu was extremely skilled in martial arts and did not dare to offend him, so he turned to flatter him. Fortunately, Lu Bu accidentally realized his true face.

Lu Bu thought for a moment and said to Li Hei: "Just tell the truth to your wife, she naturally knows how to settle this girl. In addition, you told your wife that everything is fine now, please don't worry about it. When the situation in Luoyang stabilizes, I will naturally go over and see her."

Li Hei nodded and said his promise, ready to take the order and leave.

Seeing that Lu Bu was about to leave, Diao Chan quickly raised the seven-star sword and handed it to Lu Bu: "Diao Chan saw that the general had only long weapons but no short weapons. This seven-star sword was treasured in the palace. I was originally holding it for self-defense. Now I have the protection of the general and I can't use it anymore, so I gave it to the general and kill a few more evil Xiongnu thieves in the future."

Seeing Diao Chan's words sincerely, Lu Bu stopped politely and took the Seven-Star Sword and hung it around his waist, saying to Diao Chan: "The sword is given to the hero, and the red pink is given to the beauty. Stay at home obediently and wait for me to get some rouge for you."

After watching Diao Chan and others walk away, Lu Bu ordered Gao Shun to lead the soldiers to clear out all the illegitimate people in the palace. Wang Yun's several soldiers were killed on the spot if they wanted to resist.

Lu Bu, with Gao Shun, Qin Yi and other people who were completely trustworthy, looked all the wells in the palace, and finally saw a slight light appearing in a well. He looked down and found a corpse of a palace maid floating in the water.

Lu Bu hurriedly ordered someone to salvage the palace maid's body. There was a secret bag hanging under the neck of the palace maid. When he opened the secret bag, he saw a small vermilion box inside.

Lu Bu was not sure yet, so he asked Gao Shun to find a small palace and asked him to hold the door. After entering the palace, Lu Bu found a corner before opening the box. It was really a jade seal in the country, four inches in a circle, with five dragons engraved on it; a corner was missing, and it was inlaid with gold; there was a seal script eight characters saying: "Accepting the command of heaven, one will live forever."

Lu Bu let out a long sigh. This thing that could change the history of the Three Kingdoms was finally in his hands (Note 2). He stroked the jade seal back and forth carefully several times before he gently put the seal into the box, locked the box, and then put it in the treasure bag washed with clean water.

Lu Bu carefully stuffed the brocade into his armor and tied it tightly. Only then did he feel at ease to walk out of the hall and call Gao Shun to all his troops and head toward He Jin's left and right Yulin Army camp.

—————————————————————————————

Note 1: Lu Bu once called Liu Bei a younger brother, and in both official history and legend, all the details show that Lu Bu is older than Liu Bei and younger than Cao Cao. When he was defeated in December in the third year of Jian'an (198), he should be between 37 and 41 years old, with his minimum value of 37 years old. Then he should be born in 161 AD. When he appeared in the sixth year of Zhongping (189), he was about 28 years old.

Note 2: History of the experience of jade seals at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty: In the sixth year of Emperor Ling's Xiping, Yuan Shao entered the palace to kill eunuchs, Duan Gui fled with the emperor, and the jade seal disappeared. By the time of Emperor Xian, Dong Zhuo in rebellion. Sun Jian led his army to attack Luoyang. One day, the soldiers saw colorful clouds in a well in Zhen Palace in the south of the city, so they sent people into the well. They saw a small box on the neck of the palace maid who committed suicide by throwing himself into the well, and the box contained a jade seal in the box. Sun Jian was as if he had obtained a treasure and hid it secretly at his wife Wu. Later, Yuan Shu arrested Wu and seized the seal (probably not as written in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Sun Ce used the jade seal to borrow troops). Yuan Shu died, and the governor of Jingzhou Xu Yu brought the seal to Xuchang and presented it to Cao Cao.
