The wheels rolled on the stone road covered with a layer of loess, making a constant crunching sound.
The sunshine in May has gradually become harsher, and it is a bit stuffy inside the carriage. Zhuge Liang is wearing dark black clothes, holding a feather fan, with a slight smile on his face: "Master Lu, if things go well, I don't need to come forward.
, how did you lose your aura?"
When he heard His Majesty the Emperor's plan, he couldn't help but admire it. The two discussed it again until the entire plan was finalized.
However, there are many details in the plan that need to be controlled, which is why Zhuge Liang came with him today.
"I believe that Mr. Lu alone can definitely deal with Cai You."
Zhuge Liang said with some emotion: "Your Majesty asked me to come here, but in fact he was a little too cautious and it will not have any effect at all."
As soon as these words came out, Lu Bu was really impressed. The corners of his mouth grinned almost to the base of his ears, revealing two rows of big white teeth.
"Haha... where where?"
Lu Bu laughed and patted Zhuge Liang on the shoulder: "Mr. Kong Ming, you are still too superficial!"
"Although I can make Cai You play well by myself, there is a saying that sailing a ship of ten thousand years with caution! How can you be careless and careless when doing such a big thing?"
"You are also able to be admitted to the first place among thousands of candidates. You are quite capable. My adoptive father has a far-sighted vision and specially asked you to help me raid the formation. I know my righteousness and ask you to follow behind."
Zhuge Liang's shoulder was hit hard and he grinned in pain, thinking that's not what you said at that time.
"Your Majesty has thought it over properly." He rubbed his shoulders and said, "I can't do that."
"Of course you can't."
Lu Bu snorted: "Don't talk about foster father. If you were half as stable as me, you wouldn't have said what you just said."
Zhuge Liang could only echo: "Yes, yes..."
There was nothing that could be done about it. Even though it was Lu Bu who saved him during the last palace examination and when he was praising his officials, since that time, Lu Bu had never had a good look in front of him.
As for the reason... Zhuge Liang can guess a little bit with his mind.
Now this mission is extremely important and nothing can go wrong, so Zhuge Liang said what he just said.
After Lu Bu taught Zhuge Liang a lesson, he no longer hesitated, jumped off the carriage and walked towards the Huabao Tower ahead.
The sultry afternoon passed quickly, night fell, and the lights began to turn on.
Huabao Building, elegant room on the second floor.
Cai You sat at the table and meditated, as if weighing something.
Today, there are rare delicacies here, as well as beautiful dancing girls and singers, but Cai You's friends are not here.
Crunch~
Just as Cai You was deep in thought, the door of the elegant compartment was suddenly pushed open, and Lu Bulong, dressed in black robe, walked in at a striding pace.
"Brother Lu, are you here?"
Cai You woke up immediately and greeted him with a smile.
Lu Bu didn't have the usual smile on his face. He paused for a moment and then nodded gently: "Here he comes."
Cai You was startled, a look of confusion flashed across his face, but he didn't ask immediately, and instead sat down with Lu Bu.
Then, the singing voice of the singer Yi Ya came along with the moving orchestral sound.
But this time, Lu Bu didn't seem to want to listen to this. He drank a glass of wine, and then showed a somewhat troubled look on his face.
"Everyone get out!"
The voices of the singers stopped suddenly, and they all looked at Cai You eagerly.
"Let you all go out, didn't you hear me clearly?"
Cai You scolded all these dancers and singers, and then turned to look at Lu Bu, with a flash of curiosity in his eyes.
He knew that Brother Lu was a very lustful person. These few were not enough before. Why did he change his temper this time and not want any of them?
"Brother Lu, what troubles have you encountered?"
Cai You looked at Lu Bu in confusion: "Why don't you talk to me and tell me, maybe there will be some solution?"
Lu Bu raised his head and glanced at him, hesitated to speak, and finally let out a long sigh: "Brother Cai, let's eat first."
Naturally, Cai You would not force him to say such a thing, so he agreed immediately.
The meal was very dull. Lu Bu seemed to have turned the irritability in his heart into appetite, tearing apart the delicacies on the table like a cow chewing peonies.
[By the way, the best app for reading aloud and listening to books is Yeguo Reading, install the latest version. 】
Cai You also noticed his irritability, so he no longer deliberately provoked the topic as usual, but ate silently with Lu Bu.
In just half a quarter of an hour, the table full of food and wine was swept away, 90% of which ended up in Lu Bu's stomach.
Cai You looked at the betrayed and messy table, with a flash of surprise in his eyes. Even though he had seen this kind of scene many times, Lu Bu's appetite still surprised him this time. Is this still a human being?
"Brother Lu, haven't you finished eating yet? I'll ask someone to serve the food again..."
Cai You hurriedly got up and went to greet the waiter in the restaurant.
Lu Bu hurriedly stopped him: "No need."
"Brother Lu, please don't be polite to me."
Cai You chuckled and said, "With the friendship between you and me, do we still need to be like this?"
Seeing Cai You so free and easy and sincere to him, a look of guilt flashed across Lu Bu's face.
"Brother Cai...you think...should we be honest with each other in a relationship like yours? Have nothing to hide?"
Cai You was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said: "Brother Lu is a person who works for His Majesty. He is exposed to countless secrets in daily life, so naturally he cannot be honest with you."
"Brother Lu, if you think you can speak to me straightforwardly, maybe I can help Brother Lu explain it."
Lu Bu hesitated for a moment, and then said: "This is not an official matter that needs to be kept secret, but a private matter..."
"It's still about your personal matters, Brother Cai."
"My personal affairs?"
Cai You was really shocked this time. What personal affairs did Lu Bu know about him?
Lu Bu also had a look of annoyance on his face, as if he realized that he had made a mistake, but then he broke the jar again.
"Oh~Brother Cai, I didn't want to tell you about this, I was just afraid that you wouldn't be able to accept it, or you might blame me for it..."
"Brother Lu..."
Cai You opened his mouth, feeling curious and scared at the same time.
The curiosity is about what Lu Bu knows, and the fear is about what Lu Bu really knows...
When Lu Bu saw him like this, he was even more upset: "Oh~ I wouldn't have told you if I had known."
He stood up abruptly and was about to walk out: "Anyway, it won't do you any good if you know it. It will only increase your troubles..."
"Brother Lu, wait a minute!"
Cai You hurriedly grabbed his arm: "Brother Lu, it doesn't matter, I can bear it!"
"this……"
When he said this, Lu Bu's face became even more hesitant: "Brother Cai, the reason why I don't want to tell you is because it's useless if you know about it. It will only increase your worries."
"It doesn't matter if it only adds to the worries."
Cai You has been completely trapped by Lu Bu's Riddler skills, and he can't stop at this moment: "Brother Lu must tell me!"
"You...really want to know?" Lu Bu looked hesitant.
"Brother Lu, just tell me quickly."
Cai You looked at him with a wry smile: "If you don't say anything, I'm afraid I won't be able to sleep tonight."
Lu Bu was stunned when he heard this, and then he sighed deeply: "That's right. Now that we've reached this point, I might as well let you know."
He stood up against the table and paused for a moment: "You...come with me."
After saying that, he got up and walked outside the room.
Seeing this, Cai You hurriedly followed, and the two of them left Huabao Tower, got into a carriage, and headed south leisurely.
After a while, a smaller carriage followed slowly.
As the carriage was driving on the road, Cai You couldn't help but ask Lu Bu: "Brother Lu, what did you say..."
"I can't tell you about this."
But Lu Bu waved his hand and said with a complex expression: "You have seen it with your own eyes, which is better than anything I can say."
Cai You had no choice but to put his doubts back in his stomach and sat silently in the carriage.
But the further he walked, the more doubts grew in his eyes.
Now Cai You has recognized him, and now they are taking the road back to Cai's mansion.
"Brother Lu..."
Cai You immediately turned his head to look at Lu Bu, wanting to ask something, but held it back.
Although his relationship with Lu Bu has been getting better and better these days, Cai You has always adhered to the bottom line and never brought Lu Bu to the Cai Mansion.
The reason is very simple. Lu Bu is the emperor's adopted son and his personal guard. There are many high-ranking officials coming and going in the Cai Mansion, so there is no guarantee that he will not be recognized.
But Cai You knew that his biological father Cai Jing and the entire Cai Party's overall tone were hostile to His Majesty the Emperor. Especially recently, they seemed to be brewing some big move.
If they find out that I am dealing with Lu Bu, I'm afraid it will be very troublesome.
Lu Bu on the side seemed to notice Cai Bian's confusion, and took the initiative to explain: "Brother Cai, it is Cai Mansion that I am taking you to today."
Is this really the Cai Mansion?
Cai You was shocked. How could Lu Bu, a Yulin guard, know about the Cai family? Could it be that the emperor was planning to take action against their family? Did Lu Bu go to inquire about the news first?
Lu Bu seemed to have guessed what he was thinking, and said with a strange look on his face: "Brother Cai, this is not a business matter, but a private matter that I discovered by chance."
The smile on Cai You's face was a little forced, and he nodded lightly.
It was Lu Bu who had the frown on his face just now, but now it has moved to his face.
The night was getting darker, and the carriage did not go to the main entrance of Cai Mansion. Instead, under Lu Bu's instruction, it came to a corner.
"This is it."
After sending away the coachman, Lu Bu took Cai You a few steps forward before looking at the wall.
"Brother Cai, let me take you over."
Lu Bu's face looked a little heavy under the night. He knew that from now on, this precious cave might disappear forever. When he thought of this, Lu Bu felt his heart aching.
"Turn over?"
Cai You had a bit of surprise on his face, but he still accepted it.
To be honest, after living in the house for so many years, this was the first time he entered in this way.
The two climbed over the wall and walked through the dense bamboo forest for a while before reaching the stone road. By this time, Cai You was already covered in mosquito bites.
"Come on, let's go this way."
Lu Bu was leading the way. Cai You looked at the unfamiliar scenery around him and hesitated, wondering where Lu Bu was taking him.
After passing through the winding forest path, the front suddenly opens up, and the bright moonlight shines down, making the lake surface sparkle.
There is a house located by the lake. The light and shadow above the house are dancing, as if there are bright lights and there are people moving around.
There was a hint of surprise in Cai You's eyes, as if it was the first time he knew there was such a place in his home.
"Right over there."
Lu Bu pointed to the house, but did not go there immediately. Instead, he turned around and solemnly told Cai You: "Brother Cai, no matter what you see for a while, don't say anything."
It was already the final step, so Cai You didn't care about the terms or conditions, he immediately nodded and agreed.
"Don't worry, Brother Lu, I will never let us be exposed."
"That's good."
Lu Bu nodded and led Cai You, and the two of them walked quietly to the side of the house.
The further he walked, the louder the movement in the house became. As Cai You listened, his expression became increasingly weird.
What came out of it were the coquettish sounds of women, the laughter of men, and many moans that make people imagine...
Just by listening to these sounds, you can tell what the people inside are doing, and the scale must be quite large, not just one or two pairs.
What's happening here?
Cai You couldn't help but feel startled and doubtful. Could it be that those incompetent brothers had done this? Did they bring all the beautiful maids in the house here?
only……
He glanced at Lu Bu in front of him again. This kind of situation should be very common in the homes of wealthy people in the capital. Is it worth making such a fuss about?
But just now he had promised Lu Bu not to say anything, so it was naturally not easy to ask at this time.
After a while, the two came to the base of the wall.
Once here, the sounds in the house can be heard more clearly.
It was only then that Cai You faintly realized that something was wrong.
These women's voices... why do they sound vaguely familiar? It's like they've heard them often.
But the voices of these men are very strange, not like any younger brothers at all...
Doubts gradually arose in Cai You's heart, but he still kept Lu Bu's advice in mind and remained silent.
Lu Bu turned his head and glanced at him, put his hand on his lips, then jumped up slightly, grabbed the wall with both hands, and pulled his body up.
However, Lu Bu did not stand up completely. He only used this posture to glance into the courtyard, as if to confirm the situation inside.
After reading it, he jumped down decisively without making a sound during the whole process. Cai You looked on with envy on his face.
"Brother Cai, I will lift you up and let you take a look, but you must not make a sound."
Lu Bu warned him in a low voice.
Cai You was so nervous about his solemnity that he didn't even say anything, but kept nodding.
Seeing this, Lu Bu came behind Cai You, grabbed his legs with both hands, and lifted him up.
After just one glance, Cai You's eyes shrank sharply and he was shocked by the harmonious scene inside.
Not only were multiple people slapping horse tags together, but they were also slapped on in the yard! Aren’t they afraid of mosquitoes?
But when he saw the appearance of these poker friends clearly, he was even more frightened. He immediately started struggling in Lu Bu's hands and almost fell down!
These women who are obsessed with playing cards late into the night... are actually the wives and concubines of his father Cai Jing!
