The Conqueror Isn’t Alone

Fan Zeng, who was also looking forward to Lü Bu, finally managed to catch a glimpse of Lü Bu's return home to take a bath, and briefly explained the recent events.

Lu Bu's long hair was still wet, sticking to his slender neck. Water kept dripping down along the smooth muscles, soaking a large piece of the hastily draped white undershirt.

Why did he have an errand come to his door before he finished taking a shower and before he could get to the latrine?

Lu Bu suppressed his impatience and listened with a deep expression. He glanced at Old Man Fan who was eagerly waiting for him to express his position. He nodded solemnly, indicating that he already understood.

Although Fengxian didn't say anything, Fan Zeng felt relieved when he nodded.

After Lu Bu took a bath and changed his clothes, he mounted the jade lion and went back to the palace.

Xiang Yu sat alone in the main hall, looking majestic but actually absent-minded.

After hearing the familiar footsteps of General Ai getting closer, light lit up under his eyes, and he suddenly raised his eyes.

Lu Bu sat down at the usual table magnanimously and asked straight to the point: I heard that your Majesty personally killed a lobbyist?

Xiang Yu's eyes were quietly focused on his face, and he said after a while: Yes.

Lu Bu raised his eyebrows: Just throw out the Confucian scholars who rely on gossiping and playing with words. Why would Your Majesty use that slaying knife?

Xiang Yu frowned slightly.

He thought about the wording for a moment, and then explained it in a rare and careful manner: This person has sinister intentions, and he is offering a marriage plan with the intention of benefiting the enemy...

Lu Bu was interrupted by Old Man Fan when he was halfway through taking a shower. He was only thinking about how to get rid of the person as soon as possible and only listened to half of what he said.

Quan thought it was because the fool had lost his temper that he easily killed an irritating Confucian scholar who was a good talker.

He tentatively remembered where the phrase monkey wears a crown came from, and thought about how this strange and reckless man looked at him silently, but he was a man who often cooked people when his temper got angry. He was really angry because of the speaker's offensive words. Not surprising either.

Unexpectedly, after Xiang Yu relayed Lou Jing's words in detail, Lu Bu, who was still looking relaxed as if it had nothing to do with him, suddenly turned dark, and he even smashed the table in anger on the spot!

Marriage? I'm marrying his mother!

How could Lu Bu think that he had worked so hard to catch mice and conquer the country in Bashu, but it was rare that this fool would not be fooled again, and a new mouse would come out of the nest, sneaking up to destroy the wealth he had saved with all his hard work!

He cursed angrily: A shameless corrupt scholar who is greedy for life and afraid of death dares to come up with such a bad idea!

He was born in Wuyuan County, Bingzhou. Due to the decline of the Han Dynasty and the weakness of the border army, the Huns who usually pretended to submit to the Han Dynasty rebelled repeatedly and were in trouble in the Central Plains.

Even the talented daughter of the unfortunate old man named Cai was robbed and kidnapped by the Huns, let alone the children of ordinary people?

It was just that he was robbed and died tragically in a foreign land without anyone questioning him.

For those wolves, tigers and leopards who don't know what etiquette, justice and integrity are, they will definitely be violently controlled before their power is over, and they will serve as a warning to others. How can we be in harmony with them?

The more Lu Bu thought about it, the more his teeth itched with hatred. If Lou Jing, who was talking nonsense, was right in front of him, he would have to be one step ahead of Xiang Hanzi and chop him into pieces first: Thank you for your wisdom, Your Majesty, you didn't listen to the villain's slander. Otherwise, there will be endless troubles. The next time someone dares to do something that is harmful to the country in the name of admonishment, simply ask him if he is willing to set an example and go to Jamsil!

Xiang Yu looked at the angry general, although he said nothing, there was a glimmer in his eyes.

Before he could say anything in agreement, Lu Bu suddenly changed the topic and advised: It's just that Yafu's worries are indeed justified - Your Majesty is now the lord of the world. Don't talk about buying horse bones for a thousand gold, at least you should be tolerant and accept advice. , tolerated Baichuan, and rashly killed the lobbyist, it will be detrimental to His Majesty's reputation.

Xiang Yu stared at Lu Bu intently, and saw his energetic general suddenly smiled slyly, and said confidently: On the other hand, I am just a rough man with a violent temper, and I have no official position. If I encounter these bastards again, why not help me? Will I kill him on behalf of His Majesty?

Lu Bu was making a lot of calculations in his mind.

He thought to himself that he was very thick-skinned anyway, so he was not afraid of spitting from those idle and panicked scribes.

Moreover, since he came here in a daze hundreds of years ago, he no longer has a family to support, and he can be said to be relaxed, not to mention having to pay attention to his posthumous name - no matter how bad he is, he can't be as bad as he was under the orders of Fat Thief Dong. , the time when he led troops to dig a tomb.

Who knows if some desperate lobbyist will appear in the future and try to sway the fool's mind about the Northern Expedition to the Huns?

The fool was not confused this time and secured his position, but he could not guarantee the next time.

Lu Bu secretly gritted his teeth.

——If there are still people who dare to ruin his important affairs, he will take the first step and kill them one by one, taking away his anger along the way!

Xiang Yu looked slightly stunned.

How could he not understand that Ai Jiang's understatement actually meant that he didn't want him to endure the humiliation and wanted to protect his reputation, so he would rather bear the infamy himself?

Xiang Yu was silent for a long time. Under Lu Bu's confused gaze, he said solemnly: I will not take this matter any further. There is no need to say anything further.

Lu Bu: ...

While he was puzzled, Xiang Yu took the initiative to change the topic and became more concerned about another matter: Has Fengxian read the letter?

Lu Bu almost jumped up when he was exposed to the weird thoughts that he had been deliberately ignoring for the past few days. He glared at him slightly angrily, and even threw away the verbally symbolic honorific 'Your Majesty': You How dare you ask!”

It was tucked into the military newspaper and sent out by Kuai Ma, which made him almost read it out in front of the cheap guy.

The sound came and ruined a lifetime of wisdom!

Xiang Yu said in confusion: Why can't I ask?

Before Lu Bu, who was getting angry for no reason, could speak, he thought thoughtfully and replied to himself: I must have read it.

Seeing this fool actually talking to himself, and looking calm and composed, as if he has completely mastered the rhythm...

Lu Bu suddenly felt restless.

His pair of moves were turning left and right, and just when he was thinking about what excuse to leave, Xiang Yu stood up first and walked towards him quietly.

One step, two steps, three steps.

The seats were not far away, and Xiang Yu was tall and had long legs. After only three steps, the tips of his shoes were already lightly touching Lu Bu's lazily bent right knee.

There were clearly several layers of fabric between them, but under the gaze of those captivating eyes, Lu Bu, who had always been fearless, seemed to be burned by the small area of ​​contact, and he moved his right leg to the side inexplicably. Crooked.

Xiang Yu lowered his eyes and sat down next to him the next moment.

Lu Bu didn't know what medicine he was selling in his gourd, but his body became a little stiff without knowing it.

Just when he couldn't bear the weird and awkward feeling and couldn't help but rub to the side, he was not even half an inch away when he was shocked to see that a corner of his robe was caught by the heavy fool, making him unable to move any further.

Xiang Yu's expression was calm, his eyes were softly gazing at his shy and unaware sweetheart, and he murmured: *To express my love for me, I pretend to be a beautiful woman who has left my husband behind.

I am a man who is upright and upright. Lu Bu never thought that this fool could be so shameless. Not only could he write those sticky sentences in the letter, but he could also read them out himself as if nothing had happened! He was forced to listen, and his ears felt both numb and fried: If you want that beautiful woman, go and find Yu Concubine!

Xiang Yu said blankly: Yu Ji?

What Yu Ji?

Lu Bu was also in a moment of impatience, so he accidentally let the matter slip.

Little did he know where the poppy that fool was talking about even before he died had gone to now!

Just when Lu Bu was hesitating and preparing to explain, Xiang Yu had already put aside the irrelevant details.

He was silent, but he got a little closer, and said in a deep voice: * I would like to bear the burden and examine myself, my heart is shocked but I don't dare... I am still sad but hope to advance, my heart is hurt and melancholy.

Although in his previous life Lu Bu had many beauties making secret glances and soft jade hugs, he only knew how to get what he wanted in a straightforward manner, and the man loved the woman.

Where did he go through the battles where he was constantly reciting poems and pursuing him fiercely?

Unexpectedly, this stupid emperor usually kept silent, but he was a man with a face as thick as a city wall. He actually used poems that made his scalp numb and completely unable to resist, and used them all towards him!

Lu Bu's heart was so confused that he didn't know that when he fell into Xiang Yu's eyes, he looked wandering, breathing rapidly, and the white jade turned red.

Just when the fool seemed to be coming to him again, Lu Bu woke up from a dream and refused to listen anymore!

Taking advantage of Xiang Yu's unpreparedness, he immediately violently lifted off the robe that was holding him down, and fearing that Xiang Yu would come after him, he even kicked him backwards, and then rushed out of the palace with a straight face and menacingly.

As a result, as soon as he rushed to the palace gate, he ran into Old Man Fan who was worried about him.

Fan Zengben was worried and decided to come to inquire in person. Unexpectedly, he met Fengxian directly, and he couldn't help but express surprise: Feng——

As soon as he started talking, he was startled.

Lu Bu's handsome and fair face was slightly red, but his expression was tense, as if he didn't notice him at all, just like a hurricane, passing him by.

Could it be that Fengxian's military remonstrance failed this time and His Majesty reprimanded him instead?

Fan Zeng stood dumbly for a while, secretly thinking that it was not good.

He knew that this incident was caused by him, so he couldn't help but feel guilty. He hurriedly asked to see His Majesty and tried to deal with it.

However, Emperor Chu, who had always pitied him for his old age and rarely asked him to wait for a long time, this time forced him to wait for nearly half an hour before summoning him.

Fan Zeng kept thinking wildly while waiting, and felt that the situation was not good.

He entered the hall uneasily, leaned down to salute, and then slowly sat down.

When he really raised his head and looked at Xiang Yu carefully, he couldn't help but be stunned.

The cold, proud, and handsome face that he was so familiar with on weekdays, at this moment, because of the unprecedented soft color between the eyebrows and eyes, it looked... appeared...

The shock in Fan Zeng's heart at this time was far greater than that day when he saw someone dared to punch the unparalleled overlord and beat him until his nose was bruised and his face was swollen.

After all, although the Overlord is extremely brave, he will always be injured more or less due to charging into battle.

But he never even dreamed that Xiang Yu, a man of few words and few smiles, who was indifferent and proud, would one day be able to use the word warm spring breeze!

Although Lu Bu was told to flee, Xiang Yu's original intention was not to test, but he got a result that was several times better than imagined - he was in a very happy mood at this time.

He had no idea that Ya's father had been frightened by his appearance, so he spoke first and thanked Fan Zeng for his previous advice.

When he heard Xiang Yu, who had always been stubborn, keep saying that he would exercise restraint in the future and would not punish or kill the speaker for his words, Fan Zeng nodded in a daze, feeling as if he was in a dream.

this……

He walked out of the palace door distractedly, looked up at the scorching sun, and still found it incredible.

...How come Feng first went to Bashu and then admonished His Majesty, but he didn’t even need to use force?
