As soon as Guo Jia left in style, the distracted, catch-anyone-spray-anyone hostility hanging around Lu Bu faded a lot, and he answered Yan Qing's questions much more positively.
The city wall was those instruments blasted off nearly half, inside Xun Yu Cheng Yu a did not escape, because Yan Qing and Guo Jia have emphasized how rare the talent of these two people, Lu Bu did not look at these two very thin and weak quality of the literati with the other ordinary prisoners into the Janjawarthan dungeon, lest the hard bone did not wear off, directly on the life of the dead.
Rather, in the city deliberately found a residence, said incarcerated, in fact, is to send a few beloved servants to day and night custody to limit their personal freedom, not allow them to communicate with the outside world as the main, clothing, food and housing on the half did not treat, and did not go to the folding of the criminal request. Even Xun Yu used to incense, and two shoulders can not pick hand can not lift the maidservant, also gave a special trip to his residence, took over.
Cao Cao has managed Yanzhou in an orderly manner, and it's quite rich, even though he's drained all the soldiers and foodstuffs this time around, it's still much thicker than Yangzhou was at the beginning. As for Lu Bu, he hasn't finished spending the wealth he got from killing Dong Zhuo yet, and now that he has Yanzhou, he has a lot of money and is generous with it.
It was only during that time of upheaval in history that Lu Bu, who was tight-fisted, would be particularly petty, coveting some petty gains not to mention running around taking advantage of people.
Now he is wide-eyed, his pockets are also very full, since it is generous beyond words. Cao Cao's people refused to surrender, his head is full of unconscious Yan Qing, neither mind, also do not have the heart to care about, simply first will be prisoners of all locked up, Cao Cao's family members of the treatment is a little better, ready to turn back to discuss with the military divisions on how to go next.
Certainly will not be stingy to good food and drink for the two masters of the army are extremely valued by the literati.
And Xiahou Dun traveled hundreds of miles, rushed straight to Jizhou to find Yuan Shao to move help, however, after listening to his words earnest request of Yuan Shao, but finally did not let him as he wished.
Although Yuan Shao is a noble man of four generations and three dukes, his nature of profit and little righteousness has been exposed since the time of the alliance against Dong. As the leader of the alliance, he did not even think of going through the fire for the young emperor, but instead, he put his heart and soul into how to count on his allies.
In the difficult time of Dong Zhuo's poisoning of the people, he can do for his own selfish desire to victimize his allies, let alone Cao Cao has been gradually centrifugal with him, but he can sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight at this moment.
When Yuan Shao was not satisfied with the district of a Bohai County, Yuan Shao took the Feng Ji method, from the hands of Han Fu to take away the world's heavy capital known as the fertile Jizhou, tactics is undoubtedly called flawless, but the strategy is a great failure, and where he cared about it?
This sheep's skin and tiger's skin of the Lord, the key moment can always be close to the interests of the dizzy head, and do not see the danger buried not far away. Both in vain under the banner of the strategist Tian Feng Frustration of the bitter persuasion, but also do not recognize the set of words, but wishful thinking to listen to Guo Tu Feng Ji slander, not only refused to go out to the army, but also to the false words of the commission, to consider some days as the reason, the attitude of half-soft and half-hard will be Xiahou Dun to hold back.
After a second thought, he felt that Tian Feng's heart can be put to death: if he really sends troops to save Cao Cao, it would be suicidal to send fewer troops, but it would be painful to send more, and when his rear is empty, it would not let Gongsun Zan take advantage of the situation.
Even if Gongsun Zan stays dormant and helps Cao Cao drive away the surging Lu Bu, in the end, he will not be able to gain any benefits, but instead, he will be greatly injured, and the strength that he has built up with great difficulty will be thrown away, and he will not be able to cope with Gongsun Zan's comeback under this circumstance.
The more Yuan Shao thought about it, the more angry he became, so the confused lord made a smart one, and put Tian Feng, who had just but committed a crime, directly into prison.
Tian Feng stormed, frustrated professor sighs again and again, Guo Tu Feng Ji did not bother to get rid of a strong enemy, since it is a celebration of the crown.
The other side may not know Tian Feng frustrated author's powerful ability, Yan Qing is clear, see Yuan Shao so cut off his arm, although he pity Tian Feng frustrated author's bad luck, but also almost happy to sound.
Because of the suddenness of the incident, Cao Cao himself, who was still fighting in Xuzhou and being pestered by Sun Ce and Xu Huang, could not get out of the fight, and it was not until after the fall of Yanzhou that the messenger sent by Xiahou Dun learned of this bad news, and he vomited a mouthful of blood on the spot, almost fainting.
He didn't know that Xiahou Dun had gone to Jizhou to ask for help, and only thought that all his men who stayed in Yanzhou had been wiped out.
It would be unknown where he is now, except that he recklessly got rid of Sun Ce's Xu Huang's pursuit and withdrew to the north.
Either theater Zhicai persuaded him, or was obstructed by the two armies of Sun Ce and Xu Huang, letting Cao Cao know that he could not take Xuzhou for a while, before wisely looking for another way, right?
But without Xun Yu Cheng Yu, and without these last three counties, Cao Cao's situation at this time is much worse than in history, in addition to attaching to Yuan Shao, he can have another place to go?
Rationally, Yan Qing understood that there could be no such thing, but then vaguely felt as if he had missed some detail ......
He was well versed in the little tricks of speech, and it didn't take him long to get the information he so desperately needed to know out of Lu Bu's mouth, which, of course, was a credit to the other's unparalleled cooperation.
After asking formally, Yan Qing was satisfied and only then did he have the heart to ask a question about his own situation, and only then did he realize why his own lord was so shocked when he just saw him wake up.
He was lying in a coma for nearly a month!
It can be imagined that, if not for his special physique, this time and Zhang Zhongjing this god doctor with the army, but also have Lu Bu's meticulous care, in the sleep period was forced into the countless soups and rice paste, timely scrubbing the body, in the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty without nutritional drops can be played, on the other hand, it is a hot day, he did not starve to death, but also have a bedsore, skinny and jagged bones.
Because of his heart's celebration, Yan Qing's resistance was not so strong when he looked at the three big bowls of dark medicinal juice that were brought to him, and with the mentality that it is better to have a long pain than a short one, he numbly closed his eyes and tilted his head back to dry the three bowls in a row, before bitterly snatching the pre-prepared white water and drinking it.
Lu Bu weighed the already empty medicine bowl, and a pair of thick eyebrows unknowingly wrinkled up.
Yan Qing waited for the bitter taste that caused him so much pain to fade away from his mouth before he had the heart to focus on his lord's expression, and seeing what appeared to be a look of disquiet, he couldn't help but ask, "My lord, is there something wrong?"
"Nothing."
He did not wish to elucidate, but only put the bowl down, pressed him back into the bed, and commanded, without further ado, "Well, sleep."
Yan Qing was caught off guard when he held him down and laid down, unable to get up at all, only feeling that those bitter medicines he had only just finished drinking were churning in his stomach, and the horrible bitter taste began to spread upwards again, and then he cried and laughed: "Qing has only just woken up, and how sleepy can he be?"
His brow furrowed even tighter, and rightly so, he took hold of his shoulders again and wrenched him back into a sitting up position, "So what are you going to do?"
Than slowly drink medicine to recuperate, Yan Qing would like to find an opportunity to eat the peaches, but Lu Bu has been guarding his posture, so that he was touched, but also clear that pretending to be asleep is not a good idea, the brain quickly turn, could not help but say: "I wonder if Qing can first take a bath?"
Surely Lu Bu wouldn't be watching from the sidelines inappropriately while bathing.
To Yan Qing's surprise, Lu Bu first glanced at him slowly, as if he had easily seen through his little mindset of trying to sidetrack him, and with a light hum, he spared the words, "May."
However, he still sat on the edge of the bed, and only ordered out in his usual tone, "Prepare water."
The relatives waiting at the door immediately answered, and before long, there were two people humming and puffing, carrying a barrel half a man high, full of steaming water, big enough for two people to hold.
Why is this tub so big?
As soon as it showed its face, Yan Qing became suspicious, and Lu Bu had already stepped forward, probing the temperature of the water with one hand before casually hmmm'ing and ordering the two men to stand down.
"Just right." After dropping these words, he turned and retraced his steps towards Yan Qing.
Yan Qing instantly returned to his senses, tilting his head and smiling apologetically, "It's really a pain in the ass, Lord--"
"It's not much of a labor of love."
Lu Bu condescendingly looked at Yan Qing, interrupting his unfinished words without a second thought, and at the same time, he stretched out his hand in a dignified manner, lifting the thin quilt, pulling the belt, and sliding the hand that was resting on his arms downward, the loose bedclothes completely detached from Yan Qing.
But in the blink of an eye, Yan Qing was told to turn into a naked state.
Yan Qing was smiling and gentle-eyed one moment, but the next moment her entire body was wooden.
He subconsciously cringed, blinking slowly, the hairs on his tail wan to explode with one by one, seemingly not reacting to his situation at all, "...... Lord?!"
Lu Bu didn't move to slip his eyes around the stripped him, not waiting at all for Yan Qing to react, his sturdy and powerful palms lumped towards his armpits, easily lifting Yan Qing up in a position that wouldn't call for him to be uncomfortable.
Just like a cat cub that had been gripped by a big tiger with a rare kindness in the back of its neck, Yan Qing was forced to feel what it meant to have a disparity of physique as he was put into hot water by his lord before his eyes.
The temperature of the water for Yan Qing, is really worthy of just the right evaluation, is hotter than "warm" on some, but from the "hot" is still far from the degree.
Yan Qing hadn't had half a bit of extra meat on her body, and suddenly after lying down for nearly a month, she now looked even thinner and thinner by a few points.
Lu Bu gazed expressionlessly at the fidgety, bewildered and confused Yan Qing, who was indescribably fragile and pitiful, and did not listen to the words that came out from between his lips, which were churning in his chest, full of pungent fury.
Even if you put it under your nose, you still can't call it safe - the man is exhausting, tireless, and then nearly folds himself.
To Lu Bu's flames that run amok, Yan Qing has no way of knowing, comfortably soaking in the hot water, he hasn't had the time to take a breather and really enjoy himself, he just watched Lu Bu sullenly undressing and undressing himself without saying a word, and then with an aura of taking things for granted, he stepped into the bath tub without hesitation.
The barrel was specially made large, carrying the weight of two adult males, and was as calm as could be, while the water in it overflowed a lot by the sudden addition of the large man.
Lu Bu calmly fished out a long towel and with movements that could be described as skillful, he descended to rub Yan Qing's body.
"How does this make it possible!"
A bath in one piece is already an honor bestowed by the Lord on his subjects, and this is overkill.
Yan Qing hurriedly averted, but although this barrel is large, in addition to him, can also fit a Lu Bu is already good, the inside is ultimately cramped, the rest of the gap, simply not enough for him to move around.
He only slightly sidestepped to show his avoidance, his elbow hit Lu Bu's chest, and his leg also touched Lu Bu's sturdy muscles, considering that if he went on rubbing against each other again, he might not be able to accidentally toss himself hard, Yan Qing did not dare to act rashly for a while.
Yan Qing could not avoid it, so Lu Bu thoughtlessly continued to rub it, not forgetting to fool around a bit, "What is there to be ashamed of? Chongguang doesn't know, all these days, Bu has been bathing you like this, and he has never missed peeing."
Yan Qing's eyelids jumped, should this be so vindictive?
But having said a joke once, he was knotted up in his thoughts, and he was unlucky enough to get it back.
But just by looking at how smooth and natural Lu Bu's movements were at this point, one would know that this was not a false statement.
Another view of Lu Bu attitude stubborn, regardless of their own body again and again to greet, if you open the mouth back to refuse, the short-tempered Lu Bu may have to be sunny, angry he does not know good and bad.
Can only cover the face to thank you, while the heart is scared, enjoy this world is afraid of the only one of the blessings are enjoying the taste, lest be seen some unspeakable evil thoughts.
Blissfully unaware that the jade-white slender neckline had reddened all the way to the root of the ear and was given a clear view by Lu Bu.
I don't know if it's quite difficult to trigger the illusion, even though Yan Qing had his head down and endured from beginning to end, and his eyes were closed, forcing himself to clear his mind and shield his senses, he could still vaguely feel that Lu Bu's movements seemed to be getting slower and lighter, and he also ...... repeatedly rubbed a few of his most sensitive spots.
As if it was amusing just to observe his instinctive cowering reaction.
Incredibly enough, places that never felt sensitive when he was rubbing himself became dead ends that didn't feel right when lightly touched when rubbed by someone else.
He endured and endured, and finally, unable to bear it any longer, he said in a gentle voice, "May I ask the Lord, is he well?"
Lu Bu gave a perfunctory hmmm and didn't speed up the movements in his hands, "Soon."
Good thing that this long ordeal eventually has an end, when Lu Bu felt satisfied and mercifully wrapped Yan Qing in a dry towel and put him back on the bed, letting him rest on his own legs so that he could then dry his hair for him, Yan Qing, who had gone through such a shock and had remained mentally tense afterward, had already become deflated in the truest sense of the word.
He only felt that he had been forced to age ten years by this ice and fire, and he couldn't care less about this obviously over-the-top attentiveness, so he lay down on the bed and fell asleep in a short while.
By the time Yan Qing reawoke, her hair was already dry, and the back of her head had been moved back to the pillow it was supposed to be dipped in.
Thinking that he should hurry to eat the peaches, he casually rolled over, and then the remaining bit of sleepiness was instantly scared away cleanly - the owner of the head that sleeps intimately on the same pillow with himself, snoring softly, is not the owner of the Wuhuan Lu Fengxian?
Lu Bu had always been a shallow sleeper, the slightest breeze could call him alertly awake, but this time, even such a big commotion as Yan Qing turning over failed to wake him up, so it could be seen that he was indeed exhausted.
Yan Qing has had a similar experience can empathize with this, although his feelings towards Lu Bu is more complex and heavy, in addition to the worship of the idol, the lover's love, but also includes the ideal of support, not between the master and minister of this unparalleled importance can be compared, but still know that the fear of the other side does not wake up the worry of the restlessness.
He treated Lu Bu with sincerity that day, and Lu Bu doubled back this time.
Yan Qing's brain is still not quite sober, coupled with the satiation of the silver desire, at first glance on this defenseless, beautiful body of the sweetheart, suddenly captured by the sentimental for a moment, a thousand turns in the mind, the heart of the moment a soft mess, was touched completely forget the embarrassment of the just.
However, moved as he was, he didn't forget to gulp down the peaches while he still could.
The effect of the peaches was really immediate, and just as soon as I finished them, my strength came back.
Yan Qing tiptoed out of bed and saw that Lu Bu also just smacked his lips, still sleeping soundly, so his heart settled down.
It was just that he had thought to go out and look around, and with a twitch of his fingertips in his sleeve, he remembered the two cards of unknown use.
Yan Qing did not dare to use "Red Hare", a card that is difficult to understand literally, in the tent, but he did not have such worries about the other card, "Take Sheep by Hand" - there was no one else in the tent except Lu Bu who was sleeping. There is no one else in the tent except for the sleeping Lu Bu, so isn't this a good time to try out the card's effect?
This check, he ate a shock: Fang just "peach" to eat, actually swiped another "goat" out!
Although there is a great deal of randomness, but from the previous life to play that game to judge, but also quite in line with the rules, a set of cards, "kill" the frequency of occurrence is indeed the highest, "flash" followed by the next, and then only the "Peach The "Peach" is the most frequent in a set of cards.
"Unbridled joy" is so rare that it basically requires Yan Qing to use up ten or so other cards before one is refreshed.
This time, the rare degree of the "take the sheep" is comparable to the "joy" is given twice in a row, I do not know whether it is a coincidence, or the previous inexplicable fainting credit?
Yan Qing so thought, fingertip a flick, used this shiny gold "take the sheep", as for the target ...... on the table well.
The moment the card disappeared, Yan Qing was dazzled for a moment by the brilliant golden meters that scattered in all directions, followed by a sinking in her hand.
It was the teapot that was originally on the table that was led over!
The effect was exactly as he had previously imagined, Yan Qing could not help but feel extremely energized, and began to calculate on what occasions it would be used for the greatest gains.
Since there was still one in his hand, Yan Qing decided to do both tests at the same time this time once he had calmed down.
One is to test the distance at which it can be launched, and the other is to see if it can be assigned to a specific item.
As a matter of fact, the Shunyata card could only be used on characters around them, and when Yan Qing used the first one, he did so while sitting on a small chair by the side of the bed, and using it on a table that was an arm's length away.
And what if he gets a little further away?
Yan Qing got up gently, not even daring to walk, for fear of making too much noise and disturbing the good sleep of Lu Bu, who had been over-tired lately, and walked step by step, taking a long while before walking to a position close to the door.
He re-aimed at the table and attempted to activate the Shundei, however the cards didn't move at all, and it seemed that they were really too far apart.
Yan Qing shortened the distance by one-third and one-half respectively before doing it again, and it still didn't work.
The more restrictions that were activated, the fewer places it could be put to use. Yan Qing tried as he walked back, but unfortunately it never worked.
I can't help but think no, is that arm's length at the very beginning the limit?
When the distance was shortened to only eight feet from the table, Yan Qing had already lost his initial excitement because he had tried too much, and had been mechanically repeating the same action, not noticing that he had slightly skewed his aim at the table and accidentally hit the sleeping Lu Bu ......
On the table, in addition to the teapot, there were empty medicine bowls, tealights, towels for wiping and a water basin.
In addition to the motionless Lu Bu lying on the bed, there were bamboo cushions, bedding, pillows, and hanging tents.
But the skin is thick and afraid of heat, sleeping in this summer, even the quilt is not willing to cover Lu Bu body, in addition to a thin clothing, there is nothing else.
The "hand in hand" has faithfully proved its power: although it is not capable of "stealing" the sleeping tiger with flower skin, it can unknowingly and unknowingly move the clothes to a Qiankun Daquan and transfer them to Yan Qing's hands.
Yan Qing: "......"
With a look of despair, he glanced at the familiar clothes that still had residual warmth in his hands, and then at Lu Bu who had suddenly become inchless, and only felt that he was close to having those four words pasted on his head - proof of guilt.
Put down a big stone of Lu Bu this moment although rare sleep extremely heavy, and has always been unconventional, far from being like Yan Qing Guo Jiajia Jiajia and other people to speak, with martial arts people have the roughness of the disease, it is impossible to heart wide to suddenly become naked, but also can not detect half a bit of difference.
Lying on a bamboo mat through a layer of cloth, and the touch of lying directly on it, can be a great difference.
As Yan Qing had feared the most, just as he was still anxious and unsure of what to do, Lu Bu quickly frowned in discomfort and muttered something vaguely in his throat.
Is he going to wake up soon!
Lu Bu's small action, nearly made Yan Qing's soul fly away, a heart was hanging in his throat, but holding the incriminating evidence that could make him unable to defend himself and still hot, even if he felt like crying again, he couldn't just leave it and run away.
Wear back is impossible, as things stand, the only way to spread out this robe Lu Bu side, pretending that he sleeps too poorly, all the clothes on the body to sleep off.
Combined with his calm demeanor, he'll be able to muddle through without a hitch.
After Yan Qing made up his mind, he leaned over warily, and since Lu Bu was sleeping too far to the outer edge, he could no longer spread his clothes out on this side, so he had to carefully lean over the bed and try to cross over to him so he could spread out to the inner side where he had slept before ......
Yan Qing was so nervous that he didn't even dare to breathe out easily, not to mention the atmosphere, so he kept holding it in, and after camouflaging the scene of the crime, he was finally quite relieved, and was about to withdraw back in a hurry.
Before the hand propped on the mat could be removed, however, it was tackled by a vise-like hand.
He didn't know how long he had been awake, and his voice was especially dark and hoarse with the characteristic darkness of someone who had just woken up; he lowered his eyes and slowly lifted them up a tiny bit, squinting as he asked, "What is Shiguang doing?"
Yan Qing clearly was almost scared to stop his heart, but his face was still calm and very calm, even realistically mixed with a few points of helplessness and favor: "Forgive Qing for his presumptuousness, just to see the Lord will be sleeping in this robe to the mess, is really afraid that you suffer from the cold of this mat, and only then thought of draping it back on you."
Listening to Yan Qing's explanation, Lu Bu but mercilessly snorted out a laugh, both did not pay attention to this broken rhetoric, but also half not be fooled by that watertight look, clutched Yan Qing's hand slightly force, so that he suffered pain stifled a grunt.
"Ha." Lu Bu's tone was indifferent and calm, while the bottom of his undisguised eyes dangerously revealed the implication that he would eat him alive, "You're quite capable of lying."
"Please, Lord, be clear--"
Yan Qing missed his aggressively meaningful gaze, but also intuited that something bad was going to happen, and hurriedly threw in a million dollar reprieve, and was about to break away and back away, or at least have a safer distance for conversation-
"What are you running for?"
In the next instant of noticing Yan Qing's intention, Lu Bu followed the momentum like thunder with a reverse pounce, calling the two of them up and down, and pressed Yan Qing underneath him with ease.
"Aren't you usually quite capable of making eyes at Boo and sending him secret flirting?"
