When the cavalry arrived at the foot of Xiapi City, Gao Jin, who was the leader, fell off his horse tiredly and turned north from Shouchun to Xuzhou. Not only did the return journey last day and night, but there were also sporadic Yuan Shu's troops blocking the way.
Fortunately, Yuan Shu's army had not returned, and Gao Jin led three thousand cavalry without encountering strong soldiers. After half a month's journey, they finally arrived at Xiapi.
The generals who were waiting at the city gate gathered around. Gao Jin greeted everyone and said, "Where is my lord?"
Lu Gu sighed: "My uncle was injured by Yuan Shujun's poisonous arrow..."
Gao Jin said in shock: "When did this happen?"
Chen Gong took a deep look at Gao Jin and felt that during this trip to Guangling and Shouchun, Gao Jin felt a strong murderous aura all over his body. Even his temperament seemed to have changed, and he said: "Bo Luan"
There is no need to ask these questions now, you can go see the lord first, and we can talk about the rest later."
Lu Gu said: "Uncle has already rested, I'm afraid it's inconvenient."
Chen Gong smiled slightly, stroking his beard and said: "My lord's condition has worsened recently, and he is also worried about Bo Luan. If General Gao goes to pay a visit, he may be able to alleviate some of his condition, so he will be notified immediately."
Lu Gu stopped trying to stop him and just said, "How about we go with General Gao to see my uncle?"
There was no objection, Gao Jin and the others mounted their horses, turned their horses back towards Jin, Qiao Rui, Li Feng said: "You guys go to the camp to rest for now, I will come back to make arrangements for you later."
He was brought to the Zhou Mu Mansion by many servants and entered an attic in the back hall. Gao Jin ran into Lu Wanjun head-on. Lu Wanjun looked very bad. When he saw Gao Jin, he threw himself into Gao Jin's arms in front of everyone. His pear blossoms were wet with rain.
Weeping loudly.
Over the past few days, she had been worried about Lu Bu's injury and Gao Jin's safety. She had not had a good night's sleep. Her face was slightly pale, her temples were fluffy, and she looked sick. When she saw Gao Jin come back safely, she felt half stone in her heart.
After landing, I could no longer hide my emotions.
Gao Jin hugged her and comforted her in a low voice. The fragrance on the tip of his nose was so fragrant, and he felt a little more responsible in his heart. The generals around him stood far away knowingly, and all of them had strange expressions.
After wiping the tears on Lu Wanjun's face, Lu Wanjun raised her face and said, "Bo Luan go in and see father first."
Gao Jin nodded and walked into the inner room. There were silk threads hanging in the inner room, filled with the fragrance of medicine. A person on the couch was already struggling to sit up. Gao Jin quickly saluted and said: "My lord..."
"Bo Luan doesn't need to be polite. Come and talk in front of the couch." Lu Bu got up half-lying with the support of a handsome young woman in front of the couch. He looked at Gao Jin and said, "Bo Luan has become thinner, but he is no longer the same as before."
The same masculine atmosphere."
Gao Jin also looked at Lu Bu. This peerless warrior was now horribly thin. Except for the pair of eagle-like eyes still shining with arrogance, his former brilliance could not be seen.
Lu Bu forced out a smile, turned away the crowd, and said, "Does Yuan Shu's retreat have anything to do with you?"
Gao Jin nodded and said: "I led the troops into Guangling and Shouchun and attacked Shouchun City. It must be for this reason that Yuan Shu withdrew his troops in a hurry."
Lu Bu smiled and said: "Bo Luan, I still underestimated you. I originally thought you were a great talent in both civil and military affairs, but now it seems that you are an extremely talented person. If you hadn't sent troops to Shouchun, I'm afraid you and I wouldn't be able to be here today."
Goodbye."
When Gao Jin heard the word farewell, he felt it was harsh and frowned: "Why did my lord say that?"
Lu Bu smiled miserably: "A small poisonous arrow made me do this. Oh... Boluan, I have something to tell you."
Gao Jin listened and said: "My lord, it doesn't matter if you say so."
A trace of determination flashed in Lu Bu's eyes: "Tomorrow you will get married to Wanjun, don't waste any more time."
Gao Jin quickly said: "My lord is seriously ill, I'm afraid..."
Lu Bu shook his head and said, "Don't shirk it, and don't worry about me." He glanced at Gao Jin and said, "If after my death, I entrust all my generals and horses to you, will Bo Luan be willing?"
A string in Gao Jin's heart trembled, and he met Lu Bu's gaze. He didn't know whether Lu Bu was sincere or fake, and said hurriedly: "Gao Jin is just an idle cloud crane. How can he shoulder such a heavy responsibility? My lord, don't make fun of me. Young General Lu Gu is young."
And an open-minded corporal is worthy of a heavy responsibility."
Lu Bu looked at Gao Jin and said, "These are Boluan's sincere words."
Gao Jin said: "Exactly."
Lu Bu's eyes lit up and he said, "Go and ask that idiot Lu Gu to come in."
Gao Jin walked out of the outer room and nodded to Lu Gu, who was waiting in the outer room. Lu Gu followed him in.
Lu Bu glanced at Lu Gu, then set his eyes on Gao Jin, and said: "Bo Luan, Lu Gu will entrust you from now on." He closed his eyes and scolded Lu Gu: "If you are a fool, you can't reach this level.
If something happens to Boluan, I will die in peace, so why don’t you bow to Boluan quickly? When Boluan and Wan Jun get married, he will be your brother, and your brother is like your father. From now on, you must treat him with the courtesy of your brother.
Of."
Lu Gu nodded solemnly, saluted Gao Jin and said, "Brother!"
Gao Jin's heart sank. Lu Bu did this because he undoubtedly hoped that he could assist Lu Gu in the future after his death. A few months ago, maybe he would have agreed, but now, is Gao Jin still the same Gao Jin as before?
?
He immediately laughed heartily, helped Lu Gu up and said, "Youping doesn't need to be too polite. You will be a noble lord in the future. How can I deserve your great gift?"
Lu Gu was originally unwilling to give a big gift, but when Gao Jin blocked him, he accepted it and said humbly: "Brother is my brother. We don't distinguish between high and low, we only care about family ties. My uncle asked Lu Gu to treat my brother with brotherly courtesy. Lu Gu
I swear to God today that I will never break my promise."
Gao Jin smiled slightly, and seeing Lu Gu's vow, he couldn't help but secretly said, "You've overacted too much."
Lu Bu smiled happily, his face turned rosy, and said, "I feel relieved to see that you two can be so close." After saying that, he ordered Chen Gong, Xu Si, Zang Ba, Sun Guan, Wu Dun and others to come in and greet everyone.
He said: "I can no longer see things, and I need to rest assured and take care of myself. You are all my right and left arms. Now Lu Gu is temporarily taking over my position. You must assist me wholeheartedly."
Chen Gong, Xu Si and others hurriedly said: "My lord, why do you need to say more? This is our responsibility." Zang Ba said: "My lord is just suffering from a minor illness and will recover sooner or later. Why do you need to say such depressing words?"
Lu Bu sighed and said: "You don't know, I know my body myself. It may take a year at most or a few months at least. I'm afraid I will be separated from you forever. You don't have to be sad. Life and death are up to you."
At this time, this peerless warrior was full of depression, and even his eyes dimmed a bit.
Gao Jin didn't know what it felt like, he only knew that he was standing here, being manipulated like a puppet on strings.
As for Xu Si, Lu Gu was secretly happy. Lu Bu's words had officially confirmed him as the heir. From now on, Lu Gu would be in charge of this half of Xuzhou.
As for Chen Gong, he sighed inwardly with a complicated expression. On the one hand, he had a good relationship with Lu Bu, and this relationship made him have to respect Lu Bu's decision. On the other hand, he thought Lu Bu's decision was very inappropriate.
, Lu Gu is not even a defender. In this dangerous and troubled world, people will take advantage of him sooner or later. How can he take on such a big responsibility? There is only one best candidate in his mind - Gao Jin.
