Some speculation, once it gets off the ground, has the momentum to get out of hand.

Yan Qing inwardly set off waves of shock, but on his face, he only calmly put the hot book into his arms and retraced his steps towards the council chamber.

After walking all the way, he thought about it all the way, and by the time he reached his destination, Yan Qing's eyes were already clear, and his thoughts were getting closer and closer to certainty.

While Zhang Liao, who waited faithfully until Lu Bu's death before surrendering to Cao Cao, knew that Lu Bu was a poor judge of character and was not a wise lord, Gao Shun most likely had an unspoken affair with Lu Bu.

No wonder he has not been able to understand the history of the strange and ambiguous relationship between Lu Bu and Gao Shun: Lu Bu is suspicious by nature, and uses only his own family, but when betrayed by Hao Meng, he only thought of Gao Shun, whom he has always been jealous of, and even had no time to put on his coat before he jumped into Gao Shun's camp to ask for help with his wife and his family; Gao Shun, too, no matter how detached and coldly treated he is by Lu Bu, even if he is avenging his enemies by taking away the power of the army and spilling his mistrust into the open, he always has no remorse until the end of the day, he quietly refused to surrender, preferring to die with his master. No complaints, until the last Lu Bu life to the Yellow Springs, he also refused to surrender, preferring to die with the Lord.

It is reasonable to say that Zhang Liao has already done his best to fulfill his duty, so why should he even risk his life?

But by this logical deduction, it seems that Frustrated Professor also has a leg up with Yuan Shao ......

Yan Qing had already tried his best to inhibit the dispersion of his thoughts, but this if was simply as if it had taken root, lingering for a long time.

Although he didn't understand why Lu Bu had to blatantly, not even bothering to cover up a little bit to read that little male-male yellow book in front of him, Yan Qing also knew that he had seriously crossed the line as a strategist, unintentionally probing and prying into a heavenly secret.

So when he saw Xu Shu, whose face looked worried and who had obviously fought a vicious battle with Guo Jia but failed to gain the upper hand, Yan Qing immediately explained that he should not say anything to his Lord about his question about the book.

Xu Shu frowned and sat down, "As long as the Lord doesn't specifically ask about it, how would Shu be as talkative as a gossiping woman?"

Yan Qing laughed, "Yuan Zhi is a modest gentleman, upright and square, how can an ordinary woman compare?"

Xu Shu's face slightly cleared up, and confused: "How is this matter related to the Lord again?"

Yan Qing froze at his words, only then remembering with chagrin that he could really be drawing a blank and being redundant.

Obviously, when I asked Xu Shu about this homosexual little yellow book full of sins, I didn't mention half a sentence that I saw it at the Lord's place, but pushed it onto Guo Jia, the prodigal son, how could I have messed up at this time, and told Xu Shu to know that it was in fact related to Lu Bu?

Though he was worried about what to do, he could not pull Xu Shu into the water without knowing how big this disaster could be, just for the sake of one more person to share the discussion: Moreover, from his perspective as a modern man, having sex with a man is not an unforgivable big thing, it's purely a matter of personal choice, but if Lu Bu were to develop some unspeakable adulterous relationships with his subordinates because of his indulgence in male sexuality, he could not lightly pass it off as a crime, or even break the inheritance of the child as a result of it. However, if Lu Bu had indulged in male sex and developed some unspeakable adulterous relationships with his subordinates, or even cut off his heir because of this, he could not just lightly pass it off.

Yan Qing passed through a circle of lightning and flames in his mind, but his face was always calm, only smiled, pulled out the book from his pocket, put it on an empty low table next to him, saw Xu Shu's attention was attracted in an instant, and then implicitly said: "Blame Qing for being curious for a moment, and went to buy this book for a read ... ..."

Always love books as life Xu Shu a clear look at the name of the book, lightning-like outstretched a foot, even with the book with a table kicked over, hidden thin anger glared at Yan Qing: "Chongguang now but recognize the harm of the dawn dating careless!"

Seeing Xu Shu's grumpy face with a tendency to draw his sword at the drop of a hat again, Yan Qing nodded wisely, and saw the other party's face soften slightly, "In that case, choose a day rather than bumping into a day, and tell him to move out of your mansion this very day, and return to the Farewell House to live by himself."

Yan Qing was flabbergasted, "How could it be so hasty?"

Xu Shu's face sank again, "The Beijiao House had been repaired according to his mind, how come it was rushed?"

Yan Qing still feel sudden, although he also has Lu Bu a Guo Jia is best to avoid as soon as possible lest the two meet sparks splash awareness, but a piece of so long, but also the interest of the friends to move on the move, even a buffer period is also no, unavoidably uncomfortable.

So he changed his words and said, "The mansion is too cold, and I am afraid that there is no suitable one to take care of his living ......."

Xu Shu said coldly: "A seven-foot husband, even if he can't stand up to the heavens and settle down, how come he is so delicate and picky? Moreover, the Lord has already spoken personally, giving him four gentle and beautiful maidservants, and also sent people to fetch his family members who stayed in Yingchuan, with this kind of honor, Chongguang doesn't have to worry that his house is too cold and lonely."

Yan Qing was surprised, "A beautiful servant girl? The Lord has even asked about him?!"

Xu Shu was exasperated, "Chong Guang's residence has an additional friend who has been relying on him since Yu Zhou, and at this time he has even been promoted to the position of a state's special driver, how could the Lord know nothing about it?"

Yan Qing, however, felt that this matter was not simple at all, but rather, there was an air of danger everywhere: "I know, but how could I give a beautiful servant girl for no reason at all?"

Especially after just figuring out Gao Shun's little flirtation with Lu Bu, he was extremely sensitive to these kinds of dissimilarities between men and men, and his intuition just wasn't good.

Don't let it be that Lu Bu got tired of Gao Shun's type and wanted to change his taste, and happened to look at the fresh and handsome Guo Jia ah!

Guo Jia's decision was just yesterday, and he has not yet told Lu Bu, at this time in the eyes of those who do not know, Guo Jia is still considered to have no merit or fault, Lu Bu how to throw in his favor, rewarded him four beautiful maids for no reason?

Without ceremony, to reward should also reward him first right: Guo Jia has long been married to a child, although his wife died early, also left Guo Yi this only son, than the room even a bed warmer are not, really called the tsetse all Yan Qing to be much stronger.

Can give him the reward although generous, but are gold and jade, high-ranking officials, in contrast, seems to be less than Guo Jia this heart.

If it is really Lu Bu enlightenment, he found Guo Jia's amazing talent, with the heart to send gifts to pull together is just ......

I don't know now has been the grass and trees of Yan Qing those wild thoughts, Xu Shu only thought he was too reluctant to live separately with Guo Jia, only to find ways to find some words to delay the time, the heart is even more dissatisfied, the tone of voice to persuade a pass, only to let Yan Qing laugh and cry should be.

The whole day, not only accustomed to work at home, skip work does not come to the Hall of Guo Jia did not appear, even Lu Bu also did not come, is really abnormal very much.

When Yan Qing heavy heartedly back to his own house, only to know that after the determination of the two Lu Bu Xu Shu, exactly how thunder and lightning: Guo Jia even people with belongings, were packed out of the door, a brain into the Buwei House.

However, the assassin's residence is not far away from the Buwei's, so Yan Qing did not care that he had not yet had his dinner, and with the bright moonlight, he went to Guo Jia's newly relocated residence.

Guo Jia is expected in advance that he will come, stood at the door early and waited, smiling but not smiling to bring him into the hall, the outsiders will be dismissed, slowly and methodically said: "heavy light this time can be really harmful to jia not shallow ah."

Knowing that he would be in big trouble once he was dragged into the rhythm of clearing his big score, Yan Qing simply said, "Qing's pro-brewed wine, five jars."

Guo Jia smiled coldly without blinking, "Twenty altars!"

Seeing his lion's mouth, Yan Qing also immediately returned the offer, "Too much, ten altars at most."

Guo Jia bit out, "Fifteen altars! It must not be less."

See Yan Qing again to open a counter-offer, Wanruo palpitation said: "heavy light do not know, today Yuan Zhi but the sword are pulled out, pointing straight to the tip of the nose of the Jia, a sharp tongue a scolding, and told me to body without skin, no place to hide, turn back is not by the point of view, directly dispatched to the Jia swept out of the door ...... "

He said to the emotional place, eyes seem to have water light glittering, but also raised his right arm to the sleeve of his robe to wipe the dry corners of his eyes.

Yan Qing coldly watched his vocal performance and unflinchingly broke it down, "If this is not to your liking, why don't you return those four beautiful maidservants as well?"

Guo Jia brazenly said, "The superior gives, do not dare to resign ah!"

Yan Qing coldly said, "Eleven altars, the two maids you are used to on weekdays will also be given to you." Without waiting for Guo Jia to open his mouth again, he blandly blocked the words, "If it is not enough, Qing only has to ask the Lord to take back his order, and if it comes down to a crime or offense, Qing alone can bear the burden."

Guo Jia saw that his mind was already made up, and his tone of voice turned openly, moving: "Chong Guang is so deep in love and righteousness, how can Jia bear to add to the trouble? So be it."

Yan Qing: Huh.

Determine that Guo Jia is safe and sound, to be given a beautiful servant girl on the forced to move the matter is also well adapted, no complaints, Yan Qing will temporarily put down a big stone in his heart, although still alert to Lu Bu whether it is a crooked mind, ready to be prepared to guard against one or two in the future, but always better than imagined that the two ends of the fire to be much better.

Next, once he had coaxed Lu Bu, who was still in a tantrum and not showing his face, he could get down to the business of recruiting and surrendering the captives, especially Sun Ce, who had been locked up for some time.

When Yan Qing rode back to his official residence again, wearing stars and moonlight, he suddenly saw a number of rather ostentatious and unfamiliar carriages parked at the entrance, and was talking to the housekeeper who had a difficult look on his face.

Although the city's military strength is empty, but since Lu Bu led the hundreds of pioneers arrived yesterday, Yan Qing timely ordered people to withdraw the curfew order of the Shouchun city around the martial law.

However, after nightfall, want to knock on the closed Shouchun city gate is by no means easy, and then look at this line of outsiders dressed in talk are extraordinary, either there is not a small official position in the body, or is quite prestigious, and then again, is the son of a great family.

Because of the fierce battle with the Yellow Turbans, Yangzhou changed hands, the assassin also got His Majesty's personal authorization of the runes, sure to be looked at without saying a word, a shot is a thunderous offensive Lu Yuzhou into the bag, but also take down the rising waves of Yuan Shu and other people can be imagined that can not be hidden, in the lords of the cause of the uproar among the lords, but also lead to stand in the wind and waves of Yan Qing received a dramatic increase in the number of invitations.

I had thought to wait until I was a little more free, but I didn't want someone who couldn't wait until then.

Yan Qing stood still for a moment, unobtrusively brushing past them and entering the inner hall, first drinking a few mouthfuls of hot tea before sending someone to summon the housekeeper over.

He slowly shook the clear tea, looking at the turquoise tea stalks also followed a shake, the movement can not be said to be elegant and good-looking: "Who is that?"

The butler's reply, however, caused Yan Qing's hand to shake violently, and the tea inside naturally spilled quite a bit out-

"Back to Your Excellency, it's a person from Shucheng in Lujiang, Zhou Yu Zhou Gongjin, who seeks an audience."
