"Sir, this is your favorite sauce beef. I also warmed up a pot of rice wine. It's cold in winter, so drinking it can warm you up..."
In the room, Lu Lingqi took out a plate of soy sauce beef from the food box while talking, with a smile.
"And this..."
As if she had thought of something, Lu Lingqi took out another package of things wrapped in butter paper from her arms.
As the layers were opened, a roasted rabbit leg came into view.
"Um?!"
How could such a thing exist?!
Lin Zhe was really shocked this time.
Now that the war is in chaos, as the lord of Xiapi City, it is extremely easy to get a few pieces of beef.
But this rabbit meat is not something you can get just by trying!
Seeing that Lin Zhe was a little distracted, Lu Lingqi couldn't help but feel a little proud.
"Some time ago, my father went out hunting and happened to catch a hare, but... I only got a small half, and the rest was with my mother..."
When mentioning this matter, Lu Lingqi seemed a little dissatisfied, and then she pouted and complained: "Father is so partial, all the good things have been given to my wife!"
Looking at the rabbit meat that still vaguely retained the body temperature of a woman, Lin Zhe couldn't help but feel a little moved.
This little girl is really attentive!
It seemed that she hadn't seen Lin Zhe for a long time. Lu Lingqi was a little excited. She still said to herself: "It's all my father's fault. Our Lu family is now considered a semi-famous family. We can't do anything that insults the family tradition. If it weren't for this,
, Lingqi can come to see the young master early..."
"Father, it's true. The young master is so upright, how could he do such a thing?"
"Uh..." Seeing that the topic was getting further and further away, Lin Zhe couldn't help but cough slightly, interrupting her soliloquy.
"Did Marquis Wen allow you to come out today?"
Lu Lingqi's words stopped for a moment, and her expression began to look unnatural. She shook her head and said:
"I ran away secretly, and my father didn't allow me to go out..."
"That's it..."
No wonder this girl climbed over the wall and sneaked out!
Thinking of this, although Lin Zhe's expression remained unchanged, he was thinking about another thing in his mind.
Previously, he promised this little girl to help him break off the engagement, and in return, she would find a way to get him out of the city, but now it seems that it is difficult for her to go out on her own, and it seems that she can't help him!
Do you really have to rely on your own means?
To be honest, Lin Zhe was a little confused. He didn't really want to use the power in Xiapi City.
If possible, he wanted to use this power in a more suitable place. It would be too wasteful to just use it to get out of the city!
"I'm going to leave..."
After thinking for a long time, Lin Zhe made a decision in his heart. Although it was still a pity, that was all he could do for now.
Hearing that Lin Zhe finally mentioned the fact that she was leaving, Lu Lingqi's face darkened and her voice began to grow low.
"I...I...I'll help you!"
"Hmm? You can help me?"
Lin Zhe's implication is, it's difficult for you to come out on your own, how can you help me?
Lu Lingqi gritted her teeth and looked a little lonely, but she seemed to have thought of something, and said firmly and shyly: "After some time, you and I will get married..."
"This is why my father mobilized troops and horses these days. When the city's defenses are empty, and on the big day, no one can imagine that the groom will leave. I will help you open a good way in advance. In the evening, you can take advantage of the night.
Get out of town!"
"Mobilize troops and horses?"
Lin Zhe frowned and keenly discovered some abnormalities in Lu Lingqi's narrative.
"You said that Marquis Wen has mobilized the soldiers and horses in Xiapi City these days?"
"Is it just for the wedding between you and me?"
Lu Lingqi did not understand the point of Lin Zhe's expression. Seeing that he mentioned the marriage between the two without hesitation, she thought that Lin Zhe had not received the news before and only found out about it now, so she couldn't help but nodded shyly.
.
Lin Zhe couldn't help but frown after hearing this. He picked up the wine glass on the table and sipped it slowly, as if he wanted the spiciness of the wine to stimulate his brain and make him more awake.
He just instinctively felt something was wrong, but if there was any problem here, he couldn't figure it out for a while.
Just when he was lost in thought, he heard Lu Lingqi say: "Young master, you'd better eat quickly, the food is almost cold..."
After hearing this, Lin Zhe came to his senses. He looked at the food in front of him, then looked up at Lu Lingqi. He seemed to have thought of something, and muttered from the corner of his mouth:
"Girl, Zhe Zhi is really unworthy of such kindness!"
"But the marriage was forced by Marquis Wen. Zhe actually..."
"Master, don't say any more, Lingqi... understands everything!"
"All to get out of the city!"
...
...
Xiapi City, the Government Hall of the City Lord's Mansion.
The political hall is quite simple and there is not much clutter.
There is a desk in the middle. In addition to the Four Treasures of the Study, the desk is filled with various memorials and bamboo slips.
On the west wall is a picture of a tiger descending from a mountain. Although it is not written by a famous artist, it still has some charm; on the east side is a bookshelf filled with books.
Apart from this, there are no other furnishings in the house.
In front of the desk, a handsome scribe was holding a pen and frowning, thinking. He seemed to have encountered some difficult decision. His hand holding the brush hung in the air, unable to write for a long time, and even the ink stains dripped on the desk.
Sleep.
Ta da da...
There was a sound of footsteps.
The man was attracted by the sound and immediately raised his head. When he saw the appearance of the visitor, he quickly put down the brush in his hand and stood up to greet him.
"Gong, meet my lord!"
Seeing this, Lu Bu quickly took two steps, stretched out his hand to help Chen Gong up, and said quickly: "Bu is slow-witted by nature. I leave everything in Xiapi City to my husband. I feel very sorry..."
"Thank you for your hard work, sir!"
With this strength, Chen Gong stood up and then looked at Lu Bu intently, waiting for him to continue speaking.
It's no wonder that Chen Gong was confused. In the past, when he handled government affairs, Lu Bu almost ignored him, and his lord would only come in person unless there was a war.
However, even if I suddenly came to the Political Affairs Office today, it is really abnormal to say these things as soon as I open my mouth!
Lu Bu had a straightforward temperament and did not exchange too many greetings. He said straightforwardly: "Sir, I invited Duke Xuande to come to Xiapi on the pretext of Xian Yun's marriage, and then sent troops to surprise Xiaopei. Isn't this move... a bit inappropriate?!"
Good guy!
If Lin Zhe had been present, he would have been shocked by Lu Bu's words.
This is Chen Gong’s plan!
As Liu Bei's chief adviser, Lin Zhe's marriage to Lu Bu's daughter was a political marriage in itself.
The invitations have been sent out. If Liu Bei doesn't come, the seeds of suspicion must have been planted between Liu Bei and Lin Zhe!
It's the military advisor's wedding, and if the lord doesn't come, then why should Lin Zhe work for you?
Without Lin Zhe, Chen Gong asked himself that it was impossible for Liu Bei to defeat him!
It would be better if Liu Bei came to Xiapi regardless of the danger. This move played into his heart!
At that time, we can take advantage of Liu Bei's departure from the city and attack Xiaopei directly!
No matter what, Lu Bu's words revealed an extremely important news——
