Two vigorous figures flashed around in the courtyard, their speed so fast that they even made the sound of wind.
Lu Bu held a wide-edged Han sword in his hand and was wearing thin training clothes, even his hair was spread casually.
Despite this, it can still be seen that this man who is nearly forty years old looks handsome and free in every gesture.
The top ten looks of the Three Kingdoms are indeed not simple.
However, the woman he was sparring with didn't hold back at all. Instead, she attacked Lu Bu's vital points with her sword.
Lu Ling has grown up looking at this face since she was a child, and has long been immune to it. When it comes to looks, she prefers handsome and soft types, such as: Wei Mou.
Lu Bu saw his daughter stabbing him in the face again. Not only was he not annoyed, but he smiled and said: "Yes, very good, that's it, but it's better to aim at the eyes. Any carelessness on the battlefield is a fatal mistake."
.”
Lu Bu neatly swept away the oncoming blade, and kicked his daughter in the stomach.
If it were anyone else, Lu Bu's kick would have been aimed at the heart, but after all, the person in front of him was his precious daughter, and he couldn't bear to let her go, so he only used 30% to 40% of his strength and speed.
Seeing this, Lu Ling hurriedly stepped aside and then slashed the long knife in his hand, as if he was going to cut off Lu Bu's long legs.
The maid and housekeeper who were watching the battle were so frightened that they screamed.
On the other hand, Lu Bu laughed out loud, and just by raising his sword, he easily blocked Lu Ling's sword.
"Hahaha, if you want to hurt my father, you girl is still far away."
Lu Ling didn't expect that the flaw he had finally found would be solved like this. He threw away the long knife in his hand angrily and slapped Lu Bu on the face.
Lu Bu was afraid of hurting his daughter, so he threw away his sword and let his daughter punch and kick him to vent her displeasure.
After a while, Lu Bu, with a bruised nose and face, walked to the side and wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth with a hot towel. He looked at his daughter and asked worriedly: "Ling'er, are your hands okay?"
With a sad face, Lu Ling pulled back the dislocated finger and let out a trembling 'hum', full of arrogance.
Seeing this, Lu Bu smiled bitterly and shook his head. He was heartbroken and didn't know what he did wrong to make his daughter angry.
He clapped his hands.
Outside the courtyard gate, two maids came in carrying a doll. The exquisite dress on the doll attracted Lu Ling's attention.
Lu Bu said with a smile: "This is a custom-made dress for my father at a huge price from Steward Du of Xiuhefang. Come and see if you like it."
When Lu Ling heard this, her face looked much better. She looked around the dress and smiled with satisfaction.
When Lu Bu saw his daughter smiling, he was also happy in his heart. The old father could not be happier than this.
Not wanting to, Lu Ling suddenly said: "Lian'er, Luluo, please bring your clothes to my room quickly. This is what you will wear for tonight's banquet. I will go to the palace later and let Wei Jun see if it looks good."
Lu Bu: "..."
Looking at his daughter walking away, Lu Bu felt bitter in his heart.
The steward seemed to have been used to it for a long time. He put a windproof cloak on Lu Bu and said: "My lord, all the soldiers of the Tiger Army have been waiting in the front hall for a long time."
Lu Bu heard this and asked, "What time is it?"
The butler took out his pocket watch from his pocket and said, "It's midnight. The generals have been waiting for more than half an hour."
Lu Bu said 'hmm' and said, "Go and let the kitchen prepare the food and wine. The wine should be warm. It's getting colder and colder today."
Come to the front hall.
Zhang Liao, Gao Shun, Hao Meng and others were so bored that they started playing poker.
The big and small kings are respectively the soaring green dragon and the descending tiger, while kqj's picture has been changed to the twelve strong men on the dragon and tiger list.
Spades k Lu Bu, hearts k Dian Wei, and so on.
Of course, Landlord Battle has also become [Dragon and Tiger Battle], and the gameplay is still the same.
This is also a little game "invented" by Wei Cheng, and now it has become popular throughout the Han Dynasty.
Folks have even developed many more novel ways to play, and of course, Wei Cheng specifically made them popular.
At this time, Zhang Liao and others were playing the improved version of Niu Niu. The gambling money on the table was piled high, and they were all gamblers who were not short of money.
"Niu Jiu, haha, this is a total kill." Hao Meng was the banker, and he wanted to kill all with Niu Jiu.
Unfortunately, Gao Shun didn't get what he wanted, so he showed up directly and won ten pastry tickets.
And these ten pastry tickets could be exchanged for at least two sheep on the black market outside, and Hao Meng felt he was losing money.
At this time, Lu Bu happened to walk in. Seeing this scene, instead of being angry, he joined in happily.
However, the gambling capital changed from various tickets to wine.
"Whoever is drunk should not go to the banquet tonight."
Lu Bu got a little clever and realized that he could only bring three people to the banquet tonight, including his daughter, so he could only bring two more people.
Who should be led and whom should not be led? As a leader, this is all knowledge.

Heluo College.
Several teenagers are diligently studying military strategies.
In fact, as early as the 20th, Heluo College had already given students a winter vacation.
But the college has not closed. For those who want to continue studying, not only three meals are provided free of charge, but there are also dedicated people to serve the coal fire.
"Mr. Lu, are you here? My young lady has invited you?"
Lu Su frowned slightly and looked apologetically at Zhuge Liang and others beside him.
Zhuge Liang frowned and said: "Brother, let's go out and deal with it. If this trouble continues, we won't have to read any more."
Pang Tong ran to the window with a gossipy face, opened a small gap, took a sneak peek, and said: "Tsk, tsk, senior brother is so lucky, this young lady from the Yan family is really beautiful."
Lu Su was startled when he heard this.
Fazheng behind him directly poured a basin of cold water on her and said, "Don't listen to his nonsense. After all, the Yan family is also a wealthy family in Jizhou. How can a young lady from the Yan family show her face outside at will?"
When Lu Su heard this, his heart suddenly cooled down.
The young Lu Xun suddenly remembered something, glanced at Zhuge Liang who was immersed in studying, and asked in a low voice: "Brother A Liang, do you want me to deliver a message for you today?"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Upon hearing this, Zhuge Liang hurriedly grabbed Lu Xun and made a hissing gesture towards him.
Lu Xun was a brat. When he saw this, he chuckled and said, "Brother A Liang, how about I find a way to bring you into the palace? I heard that we need a few boys to serve at tonight's banquet. You are not even ten years old, so you just agree."
condition."
Zhuge Liang was stunned for a moment, his heart even moved, and he tried in a low voice: "Isn't it good? Is there still a shortage of boys for the palace night banquet?"
Lu Xun also responded in a low voice: "The boys who serve here also have requirements. Firstly, they must be good-looking, secondly, they must be smart and sensible, and thirdly, they must have some literary talent. Other things are easy to say. There are many from aristocratic families.
But it looks good..."
Lu Xun paused for a moment when he said this, and his eyes at Zhuge Liang became a little narrow.
Zhuge Liang unconsciously touched his rosy face and nodded proudly.
"Tell me what you want, I don't believe you are so kind." Zhuge Liang looked at Lu Xun.
Lu Xun chuckled, glanced at Lu Su and the others, and saw that they were still leaning against the window. He quickly said: "Tonight there will be a small assessment for us children from aristocratic families. My aunt asked me to get into the top five no matter what.
It is said to have great benefits.”
When Zhuge Liang heard this, he couldn't help but feel envious. The Zhuge family was considered a famous family in Langya, but compared to the real big families, it was still a little behind. Especially the Lu family, because of its marriage relationship with the Wei family, it can now be said to be the top family in the Han Dynasty.
and so on.
Of course, envy is envy, Zhuge Liang is still very self-aware.
"Okay, how do you want me to help you?"
Lu Xun saw that he agreed readily and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I will take you to see Sister Niu first and find out about the content of the assessment."
Zhuge Liang nodded slightly, that charming and charming face appeared in his mind, and he couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth.

Hugh~
bong~!
As night falls, a colorful firework blooms in the sky.
It is said that Lord Wei is holding a New Year's Eve banquet tonight and has invited the thirty-six top families in the Han Dynasty, as well as the top twenty-eight masters on the Dragon and Tiger Ranking of the Han Dynasty.
Before it got dark, the large square in front of the south gate of the palace was filled with people who came to watch the excitement.
To this end, the people of the Imperial Palace specially built hundreds of sheds in front of the palace, and provided briquette stoves for heating.
In the long passage from the square to the south gate, a viewing corridor was paved with red cloth.
Whenever a member of an aristocratic family arrives, they will sing loudly, which not only makes the people have fun, but also makes the aristocratic family famous.
People on both sides were happy, the aristocratic family had gained prestige, and the common people had gained something to talk about.
"The Yuan family of Runan, the fourth generation and the third prince, the contemporary head of the family, a man of great talent and strategy..."
At this time, the Yuan family's motorcade happened to pass by. Whether it was due to shilling or the support of the people, a large number of people shouted loudly, which made several Yuan family members on the carriage very excited.
Yuan Shu laughed and said: "This night banquet was well done. It is much more interesting than the previous palace banquets. Look at it and listen to it. Hahaha, wonderful, wonderful."
Yuan Shao and others looked at each other, smiled bitterly and echoed twice.
Especially Yuan Shao, although he is unwilling to do so, it has now become a foregone conclusion. He must find a way to tie himself with the family in order to seek more benefits. If he fights alone, he will only fall further and further behind Yuan Shu.
At this time, someone outside the carriage shouted: "Master Yuan please step down and pray for me, a big man."
Yuan Shu was stunned, what part is this?
Opening the curtain, Yuan Shu saw a young man holding a tray with both hands, and another young man holding a strange-shaped 'lantern'.
The young man was none other than Zhuge Liang, and because of his connections with the Lu family, he assumed the identity of serving a boy.
Seeing Yuan Shu, Zhuge Liang said in a neither humble nor arrogant tone: "Master Yuan, please step down and write words of prayer and blessing for me, a great man, on a lamp and let it fly into the sky, illuminating my great man's thousands of miles of territory."
Although Yuan Shu didn't know the reason, he thought it was a good thing, so with the support of the coachman, Shi Shiran stepped out of the carriage.
The people in the square burst into shouts at the right time, and Yuan Shu happily raised his hands to all around.
Zhuge Liang led Yuan Shu to a table, handed him a wolf hair, pointed to the red paper on the table, and said, "Master Yuan, please."
Yuan Shu took the wolf hair and knew that he wanted him to write a blessing. After thinking about it, his eyes suddenly lit up. He splashed the hair with ink and wrote a sentence that is so strong for me as a big man: Anyone who openly offends a strong man will be punished no matter how far away he is. Yuan family in Runan,
Yuan Shu picked up his pen.
Although there are suspicions of plagiarism, Yuan Shu wrote very seriously, and his calligraphy was also good. The golden ink spread out on the red paper, making it look majestic and inviolable.
Zhuge Liang couldn't help but praise: "Good calligraphy, vigorous and powerful writing, just like a general scolding Fang Qiu on the battlefield, with the courage and ambition to move forward."
When Yuan Shu heard this, he glanced at Zhuge Liang twice, handed him the wolf hair, and said, "Young gentleman should be a student of Heluo College, right?"
Zhuge Liang smiled and said nothing, just nodded slightly, took the wolf hair and placed it on the pen holder.
The more Yuan Shu looked at it, the more he liked it. He took off a piece of jewelry from his waist and said, "If you are interested, young gentleman, you can use this token to come to my Yuan family later."
Install the latest version.]
Zhuge Liang was startled when he saw this, glanced at Yuan Shu, and took the token respectfully with both hands. As for whether to turn back or not, let's wait.
It's not easy to lose someone's face now.
When Yuan Shu saw this, he smiled with satisfaction. At the same time, he also saw a young man pasting his pen and ink on the lamp.
After pasting it, the young man sang loudly: "The Yuan family of Runan prays to the sky, and those who openly offend the powerful will be punished no matter how far away they are."
After saying that, he released the light, and the light slowly rose into the sky in full view of everyone.
This scene, not to mention Yuan Shu, even the people who were watching were dumbfounded. Then, eager waves like a mountain roaring and a tsunami detonated.
"Anyone who openly attacks a strong Han will be punished no matter how far away he is; whoever openly attacks a strong Han will be punished no matter how far away..."
"Yuan family, mighty, Yuan family, mighty..."
Yuan Shu's heart trembled, and he suddenly had a bad premonition.
Darling, who came up with this crazy idea? If I, Mr. Yuan, don’t abide by this blessing from now on, won’t I be nailed to the wall and scolded to death?
How high-spirited I am at the moment, how embarrassing it will be when we really start fighting later.
Yuan Shu looked at the excited people and couldn't laugh or cry in his heart. He still had to maintain the magnanimity that a family head should have on his face.
Looking at the smiling Zhuge Liang, Yuan Shu suddenly lost his favor and always felt that he was being plotted and this young man was an accomplice.
Thinking back to Zhuge Liang's praise just now, Yuan Shu blushed and felt ashamed.
After that, the heads of the aristocratic families were invited to get off the bus one by one, leaving various words of blessing.
Some people have seen through the connotation of Wei Cheng's little trick, while others are enjoying the support of the people. It can only be said that the benevolent see benevolence and the wise see wisdom.
As a servant boy, Zhuge Liang was naturally noticed by people from several aristocratic families.
In addition to the tokens left by Yuan Shu, Zhuge Liang's arms were already full at this time, and there were even several embroidered handkerchiefs in them.
This scene continued until thirty-six aristocratic families entered the palace.
And after that, comes the main event.
When the boy started singing the names on the "Big Han Dragon and Tiger List", the square suddenly seemed to explode.
Huge sounds and cheers echoed throughout Luoyang City.
Compared with those aristocratic families, the common people prefer these heroes who shine on the battlefield.
And the twenty-eight top masters of the Han Dynasty, headed by Lu Bu, also appeared in a unique way.
It was a four-seat house with four big black wheels. The lower floor had glass-sealed windows and the upper floor had a large terrace.
Lu Bu and others were standing on the terrace, wearing customized gold armor and waving to the people with smiles on their faces.
