Counting from the time he left Yuzhou, to the time Yan Qing completed his mission and actually moved to return, only two full months had passed.
At the end of November, Xu County has yet to see the first snowfall of the third year of Chuping. What Yan Qing did not expect was that during the short period of time when he was busy pan-friending and befriending Cao Camp, his Lord's backyard was also about to catch fire, and there were bulls, ghosts and snakes on the prowl.
Misfortune does not begin outside the walls, but within the house.
That day Lu Bu turned his face mercilessly and personally beat his always valued wife's uncle Wei Xu miserably, and rushed out of the meeting hall with his face covered in blood, and naturally he could not hide it from the ears and eyes of the women in the backyard.
Just Yan Qing does not know, his lord's back home is not as full as he thought, especially after slipping a sable cicada, in addition to the explicitly married wife Yan, there is only Wei.
As for Cao Bao's daughter, she had to go to Xiaopei in history before she could get married.
Because both of them are only good-looking, after the initial freshness passed, Lu Bu seldom went to look for them. If not for Yan's luck in giving birth to a daughter, she could have occasionally dipped into her daughter Lu Lingqi's light and had to be visited by Lu Bu, or else it would have been difficult to keep the honor of being a wife.
Yan has a daughter of all things enough, twice the cold fell down on the calm, Wei's knees are empty, it can not seem like she was sitting on the mountain, the brother in the military power became her life preserver, see more than the eyeballs are heavy.
This time the brother was beaten, not only Wei Xu himself face lost face, she did this sister, not also humiliated, as if the face was lifted up and thrown to the ground to trample on, where in the future in front of the subordinates set up the prestige of the lady?
On the spot, he sent for his brother and had to ask the reason for his punishment.
Wei Xu at first also cover up, refused to say straight, until his sister sent a big fire, only stammered this newly appointed military priest priest of the bossy confuse the Lord to say out.
Wei's now both heartbroken brother wounds hideous, but also dissatisfied with Lu Bu hand ruthless, but the latter accumulation of prestige deep, she did not dare to harbor resentment and anger, only this fault doubled on the head of Yan Chongguang, hated him to sow discord, abetting his husband to beat a good man.
This despicable villain was so arrogant when he first gained his ambition, and put up these imposing postures, and when he gained more power in the future, wouldn't he want to take his place?
Wei then completely hated Yan Qing.
She had the intention to sue him in front of her husband, but then she remembered that she couldn't even see Lu Bu's face nowadays, so how could she blow this pillow wind?
A plan did not work, Wei's only have another plan, this time a little smarter, turn to Yan's complaints. However, Yan's has never been close to her, but also do not like her often rely on the military brothers to show off their power, listen to her crying to the scenery is flourishing military priest on the eye, only the left ear into the right ear out of the left ear, casually put off a few sentences, will send her away.
As a result, Wei saw that she has no intention to stand up for themselves, the heart secretly hate, but also under the urgency of a stupid move, buy Yan a servant girl, stole her a token, and let that servant girl to the guards to say, pretending to Yan's name, please pass a message to ask Lu Bu to come to the back of the house a trip.
Even if Yan's no longer favored, but also gave birth to the Lord's only heir of the Lord's mother, and usually peaceful and self-protecting, seldom put forward excessive requirements. Therefore, the guards heard the words of the maidservant of the master mother's side costume, although feeling surprised, but also did not suspect, but promised in a good voice, immediately go to do.
When the guards delivered the message, Lu Bu unprecedentedly did not go to the barracks, but was staying at the residence of military counselor Jia Yan, lying comfortably on the soft collapse, squinting through the daylight coming in through the window to read the handwriting on the bamboo slips.
Hearing the guards kneeling down to report that there was a letter, he instantly swept away the tired look he had before, sat up violently, gleamed his eyes as he forced himself to look at the frightened soldier, and asked eagerly, "But is it a letter from Shiguang?"
The soldier stammered that it was a message from his master's mother.
Lu Bu responded absentmindedly, waved his hand casually, and reclined lazily, "Got it, go back."
It doesn't say yes or no.
The unlucky guard was dumbfounded, and didn't dare to go back with such an ambiguous answer, so he had to ask stiffly, "May I ask my Lord, how should my humble servant answer when my Lord's mother asks?"
Lu Bu didn't even look at him and casually said, "The Military Counselor will see to it."
Jia Yan did not expect the Lord to irresponsibly dump this dilemma on him, and reacted extremely quickly, "You then go and report back to the Lady, and when the Lord has time, when he immediately goes to visit her."
The guards were like amnesties, hurriedly answered and quickly retreated.
Jia Daan where can not see, Lu Bu simply do not want to go, but do not want to go in front of his face to bite back, one is too hurt Yan's face, the second is that he will also most likely be exported to persuade to block, simply skimmed over to his head.
Jia was also good for the opportunity to sell his own host mother a favor, of course, he would respond for it.
As for when it will be free ...... Yan but whoever is a well informed and sensible, will not be unwise to come to urge.
Even though it sounded like a simple matter, Jia Daoyuan was secretly in a cold sweat. Although he could ask the military counselor if he was unsure about internal affairs, this kind of matter related to the private affairs of the women in the house should be handed over to Yan Qing, who was more comfortable with it.
However, seeing that his lordship was so cold towards his mother, and on the contrary, there was not even a decent successor at this time, Jia Yan could not help but start to manipulate this head to the same extent as Yan Qing.
He slightly persuaded a few sentences, Lu Bu, although full of promise, but can not wait to ask: "Today Chongguang can send a letter?"
Jia Yan did not change his face, "I have not received it, I am afraid it will take tomorrow."
Seeing that Lu Bu didn't hide his disappointment and kicked his beloved desk as if he was venting his anger, Jia Yan couldn't help but have his eyelids fluttering and added as if he didn't mean it, "Chong Guang's long memory is good at counting, and the affairs that Lord Gong was asked to do in his letter last time, Lord Gong hasn't yet accomplished them, so I'm afraid that dry waiting is also useless."
Lu Bu impatiently yawns, sharp eyebrows gathered fiercely, just when Jia Yan thought that he was going to angrily leave his job and quit, he actually held back this bit of fire, and pressed his temper to continue reading that official document.
Jia Yan looked at him in such a state, his face was calm and relaxed, but in his heart he couldn't help but admire Yan Qing's fancy little tactics and the accuracy of his grasp of his Lord's temperament.
Yan Qing early expected that he left, basically no one persuade Lu Bu, to really let it go, he most likely will be soaked in the barracks all day long ignore foreign affairs do not move nest. So deliberately left a pre-written letters of ten, all of them handed over to the Jia Yan custody, said that if the Lord lingered in the barracks ignore the political affairs, on the sacrifice of these to, should be some effect.
Also instructed clearly, once these really come in handy, never give the next letter without waiting for Lu Bu to complete a pile.
Jia Duan full of promise, but inwardly is not thought of, always feel that Yan Qing worry about the sky, there are superfluous suspicion, and later is to sigh thanks to these letters, only to call must have the Lord decided affairs have not been backlogged down.
Do he and Xu Shu persuade words, even if said on a hundred sentences, Lu Bu listen is willing to listen, but also willing to accept, but the specific do not do, it depends on the mood.
Lu Bu is certainly not happy with how the letters written by Yan Qing are sent to Jia Fang's residence, but in the case of Jia Fang does not come to notify, but also every day to ask. Later found himself after reading the letter also have to follow the military priest's instructions to deal with the official documents, with him alone to do, not only the efficiency is strange low, but also have a headache like crack, not as good as directly in the Jia military division, both convenient to ask, but also can be the first to see the new letter.
It was so that Lu Bu seemed to be resident in Jia Dan's mansion, thundering daily, moving all those staff and official business that had been working in the Council Chamber in the afternoon, dealing with them while waiting for Yan Qing's next letter to arrive.
So repeated for more than a month, he also vaguely accustomed to reading these bamboo slips every day, look at the dense words, it is not like the usual headache effort.
And Yan Qing's "letter", also with his speed increase from five days a letter, into three days a letter, occasionally two days a letter. In order not to make Lu Bu suspicious, Jia Dang did not tighten the time every time, and because it was the familiar Yan Qing's handwriting, Lu Bu gradually adapted to it, and every time he wanted to finish it faster so that he could receive the next one, and he worked incredibly hard.
Just have to sigh a little every now and then.
If Yan Qing, must be secretly scoffed, this exaggerated posture indifferent, either completely ignored, or four or two to turn the conversation, Jia Yan did not have the guts, then care to ask about one or two.
Lu Bu sighed deeply and said: "How can I entrust this treasure to someone else's hands? Heavy light this road is far, cloth but the whip can not reach, if there is really any accident, and then military speed is also afraid that it is difficult to save, I can not help but be distracted, but called the military division joke. Fortunately, there are often letters sent, Bu can learn from this Mr. safe and sound, only a little peace of mind."
Thinking of the truth of these unscheduled letters, and seeing that he was genuinely concerned about Shiguang's safety, Jia Yan felt slightly weak, and simply suggested: "Lord may as well repair a letter and send a fast horse to send it?"
Lu Bu froze as he listened and rejoiced, "The military division has a point!"
He was impatient, said to write immediately to move the pen, also refused to use the bulky bamboo slips, but recently gradually popularized in the army, by Yan Qing insisted on the title of Lu Bu's name "Wenhou paper".
After holding the pen according to the case, he hesitated a little, suddenly thought like a spring, a lot of dashing a wave, satisfied with the seal to the guards, ordering people to whip, as soon as possible to send to the East County governor's residence.
Jia Yan, who knew Yan Qing's real destination, had to send someone to catch up with the messenger and secretly change the destination to Shouyang without Lu Bu's knowledge - otherwise Yan Qing, who had run to the front line, would not even be able to receive a letter to Yanzhou's rear after a year.
After Lu Bu finished writing the letter, he continued to read the official documents, humming a little song with a happy look, Jia Yan pondered whether to stop here, or to continue to encourage a few words, hoping that the Lord and the Lord's mother to be more amicable, and to have more time to coexist, but there was a guard outside to pass the message, saying that there is a messenger from Gongsun Zan to see.
The master and minister looked at each other and unanimously put down the things in their hands.
Lu Bu's expression changed as he commanded in a deep voice, "Let him in."
But said ten days later, Yan Qing in the return journey happened to bump into the messenger to send a letter, open the letter is also quite curious about the extreme hatred of waving the brush of Lv Bu will specially write what, even anxious to not bother to labor fast horse delivery.
And so a few lines of left-running, right-running, and strangely airy words came to the unsuspecting eye--
"If I don't see you for a day, I'll miss you like crazy. When will I see Xu, to comfort me in my wanderings..."
Yan Qing: "......"
Fucking idly taught him Phoenix?
And was it supposed to be taken out of context and used here?
Beautiful and handsome military priest face is still with the gentle smile, but the hand is merciless, directly to this thin and fragile snow-white paper to the spot broken into pieces, but called the curious Zhang Liao looked at the side of a startled.
Yan Qing did not know when he had already restrained his smile, expressionlessly sprinkling the shredded paper ends with a flourish, secretly grinding his teeth.
Cao Cao's other virtues he did not learn, the point of writing love poems for the wise man is a spontaneous mastery of the essence ......
