After the initial laughter, Yan Qing, who had inexplicably become the sect leader, quickly regained his composure.
Years of drinking blood at the mouth of the sword, the sands of the soldiers, see clearly wounded and dying commander-in-chief in just a few days a few days after the recovery of the tiger, this is a great sense of magic. After listening to General Zhang Wenyuan once said that the Tao of immortality is saved, they have this spiritual support, hoping to seek refuge ...... this development process, but it is normal.
Yan Qing ordered Zhang Liao to keep it a secret, and the latter did manage to conceal his name, but still couldn't hold back the excitement of being saved by the long-worshipped god, so he secretly persuaded Zhao Yun, who had a similar experience but didn't know about it at the time, to wear the wooden figure that he dared to carve roughly according to the contours of Yan Qing together with him, in order to quietly remember the military priest's benevolence.
It was confirmed that these two prominent generals also believed in the "Immortal Peach Sect" and were able to escape from death.
Since it was just a harmless coincidence guided by no one, rather than a plotter secretly presiding over and waiting for an opportunity to make waves, Yan Qing did not care much.
There is no need to deliberately suppress it, as this may be counterproductive.
If we let nature take its course, it will settle down on its own in a few days.
After Yan Qing figured it out, he continued to live in peace with the good old days of making the people around him work like crazy, while he himself only had to be busy half the time giving orders and then being able to leisurely drink his tea.
When the situation in Jingzhou was settled, it was also the fall of the first ten years of peace.
At the time of the arrival of the great harvest, Guo Jia, who was called Yan Qing who missed him very much, also came slowly and leisurely.
Walking with him, not only his own son Guo Yi, but also divided into eight hundred soldiers and horses, in addition to the necessary dialog on the way, even an eye contact is not Lu Xun and Zhuge Liang two people.
Yan Qing had been looking forward to their arrival since the day he heard the news. He waited for many days, counted the days, and on that day, he dragged Lu Bu early in the morning, ordered more than a thousand soldiers and horses, and wanted to go out of the city to meet them in person.
Eighteen miles out of the city, they waited at the top of a slope, to be seen in the distance by the hooves of the horse set off by the sand and dust from far to near, Yan Qing also distantly saw the leader's appearance.
His impression of Lu Xun, still stayed in that face like a crown jade, shy and shy on the slender young man, this fierce glance, see the majestic, Ang Zang upright young generals, but also a moment of speech, a few can not recognize.
With Lu Bu and Zhuge Liang between the Wei more than pro relationship is different, since the separation, has been in the army training Lu Xun, the righteous father's admiration and longing is increasing with each passing day, this will finally see Yan Qing, this more and more emotionally astringent, spoiled youth, can not help but steer his horse to speed up, rushed straight over, raised his voice to call out: "Father Lord!"
Yan Qing was snapped back out of her daze by the familiar voice and hurriedly urged her horse to go.
After talking with his righteous son for a few sentences, Lu Bu lightly swept his eyes at the touching scene of father and son embracing each other not far away, noncommittally grunted , and drove his horse towards the carriage which was protected in the middle of the two armies.
Guo Jia slowly got out of the car and saluted him.
Lu Bu directly exempted him from saluting and rolled over to dismount again, and after exchanging a few casual pleasantries, he suddenly asked, "Got it?"
Guo Jia nodded.
Lu Bu hmmmed, the corners of his lips slightly raised, no longer asking questions.
Until the rendezvous of the party back to Xiangyang City, Yan Qing is still immersed in the trance of his son's appearance has changed greatly, without saying anything, abandoned Lu Bu, took a few good wine, and a long time not seen with his best friend to catch up with old times.
After dismissing his subordinates, Yan Qing asked incredulously, "The changes on Zhi Er's body are too great?"
Yan Qing did not find it surprising that Lu Xun's skin color was not as fair as he remembered, but a light wheat color.
After all, life in the army, often through the wind and sun, and sit at home peacefully reading and writing compared to the great difference.
Lu Xun was born handsome, his skin color was darker, only showing health, and his figure was not as thin as before, so that Yan Qing was mostly at ease after seeing him.
What called to him was the size of the man who had scampered so fast over his head.
Full count is less than two years of work, used to having a height advantage among the strategists, often rely on a high overlooking colleagues Yan Qing, actually had to look down on his son.
To say leveled is still a polite way of putting it - today's Lu Xun is clearly a bit taller than Yan Qing.
Yan Qing is not unaware of the history of Lu Xun with Zhuge Liang, were born tall and long, body length of eight feet, but Lu Xun from and crown there are still three years Xu, how high into this?
Yan Qing had no doubt that if this trend continued, this small advantage of his that he was secretly proud of would soon have to be struck down to nothing.
"At his age, doesn't he change from day to day? You have not seen him for almost two years, naturally surprised." Guo Jia gloated: "See you also have today, Jia heart very comfort ah."
Yan Qing knew that nothing good would come out of this detrimental friend's mouth, and after sharing his shock, he simply changed the subject and asked, "Declaring the edict tomorrow?"
Guo Jia laughed and said, "My Lord thinks the same way, you guys have the same heart. After tomorrow, you should call your Lord Lord Yan."
Yan Qing also smiled from the bottom of his heart and said bluntly, "He and I only have each other, living together for many years, giving birth to some tacit understanding, and what's so surprising about that?"
Guo Jia's brow jumped, deliberately showing a few hints of disgust, "Years of not seeing each other, Shiguang's thick skin is growing with each passing day."
"Overpraise." Yan Qing said nonchalantly, "If you want to have a heart-to-heart with those beautiful maidservants of yours, I'm afraid you'll have to cut your heart into eight parts first."
"Oh?" Guo Jia lazily reclined back and pulled the corner of his mouth, "I haven't gotten crazy yet, so what's the point of making friends with them for no reason?"
Yan Qing guffawed, "Are you really not prepared to renew your marriage?"
Guo Jia immodestly said, "If Chongguang's family still has an unmarried sister whose appearance is as outstanding as yours, we can consider it."
"That needs to disappoint you." Yan Qing shrugged his shoulders and asked with a smile, "Then where have you hidden the imperial edict, allow me to take a look."
Guo Jia closed his eyes and said, "It's in the drawer, get it yourself."
In fact, just to send an imperial edict to, where need Guo Jia personally run a trip?
But it is a long time not to hear the face of a good friend, the heart can not rest assured.
Yan Qing slightly smile, also do not expose his mouth is not true, according to him to say the direction to find, a moment to find, unfolded browsing several times, finally is to see that the "Yan Gong" two words, the most comfortable and easy on the eyes.
Even without opening his eyes, Guo Jia could imagine what Yan Qing was thinking at the moment, so he falsely reprimanded, "Chongguang is really bold, how dare he tell the Lord to change his husband's name."
Yan Qing laughed and kicked him, "Go ahead and be envious!"
Guo Jia did not dodge and did not flash, just relax the body to receive this light kick, but also not yet finished, "Again, again."
The two of them were playing around when suddenly someone gently knocked on the door of the room.
Guo Jia up also not rise, so casually paralyzed, let the hard-mouthed and soft-hearted Yan Qing to help him on the body to press around, soothing fatigue muscles: "Come in."
Yan Qing and Guo Jiage both thought that the visitor would be Guo Yi, so the party was so casual.
It turned out that the one who came in silently and stared condescendingly at the two by the bedside was the expressionless Lu Bu.
Lu Bu faintly greeted, "Chong Guang, Feng Xiao."
"Lord." Yan Qing wisely smiled at him first, then landed on his feet and resigned to Guo Jia, who was still lying down, "It's getting late, I should go back, Feng Xiao, and you should rest early."
Guo Jia casually waved his hand, "Go."
This was without outsiders present, he was even completely saving his manners.
Lu Bu, who only came to catch people, of course, would not care about those complicated rules and regulations, naturally clutching Yan Qing's hand, without a word, he descended the stairs and went out of the mansion, hugging him and mounting the red rabbit, running out a distance, before he sighed long and hard: "I still hope that Chong Guang will not blame Bu for being narrow-minded."
Yan Qing was still quite surprised that he would graciously admit it. Smiling, she patted his hand that was holding her waist and laughed, "No offense."
Because all the way to Yan Qing warm words, soft words, good voice understanding, to be back to the mansion, Lu Bu face is already depressed gas all released, back to clear sky.
Yan Qing walked into the study with him and retired the attendants, then said, "The altar has been completed, and His Majesty's dragon body has healed, so when winter comes, we can unite with the ministers to submit a petition to persuade His Majesty to sacrifice to the heavens."
"Everything will be arranged by Chong Guang." Lu Bu sat on the soft collapse with his legs crossed, seeing Yan Qing walking around with her long hair draped over her head, speaking in a glowing manner, her heart could not help but be tickled, but she was still thinking about the grudge she had made with Liu Yan: "After Xu Cheng is done, can we conquer Yi?"
Over the years, Yi Liang two states and restless, often sent a number of stream riding nuisance border residents, although small fights, but also quite annoying.
It was not until Lu Bu heard the briefing and immediately ordered Zhao Yun to mobilize his troops and return the attack at the state border that there was much restraint.
Yan Qing nodded.
The decree of appointing Lu Bu as the Duke of Yan, even though it was within their grasp, was not half a surprise, but it meant that the plan was going well, and Lu Bu, not surprisingly, would use this as a starting point to formally expedite his ascension to the glorious imperial throne.
Yan Qing laughed: "The world's states and counties, more than has fallen into the hands of the Lord, to claim the throne on behalf of the Han Dynasty, the time is ripe, only need to Qing a little trick, looking for a suitable name can be. When the Lord accepted the abdication, ascended the throne as the emperor, that Liu Yan boasts of clan people, will certainly not be willing to lag behind. As a result, the Yiliang alliance will change. The Ma and Han duo that dominated the western Liang will either be willing to submit and honor Yan as the orthodoxy of the Han family, or they will tear up the alliance and return to Liang to consolidate themselves. Whichever, will certainly go through some twists and turns, is the best time to send troops ......"
Lu Bu was listening attentively, but unexpectedly, Yan Qing suddenly lost track of what he was saying and said in confusion, "Shiguang?"
Yan Qing remained silent for a moment before saying, "Nothing."
The reason why he suddenly ran away just now was because from this rare overhead viewing angle, coupled with the bright candlelight, Yan Qing could clearly see that some scattered frosty white color had quietly climbed up Lu Bu's temples when he was unaware of it.
In fact, the frosty color was not big and inconspicuous. If it wasn't for the bright light and Yan Qing's proximity, I'm afraid I would have missed it.
But still, Yan Qing's heartbeat skipped a beat less.
How could he forget?
While one revels in the fact that Zhuge Liang and Lu Xun have grown into a pair, it also means the slow aging of Lu Bu.
It is true that Lu Bu has a strong body, excellent physical fitness, and has never been lazy, and insists on exercising every day, even if he is thirty-nine, he is still the first God of War that deserves to be recognized.
But the best years are still fading him away.
Because of the effect he caused, history was changed quite a lot, Liu Xie did not move the capital to the year should be Jian'an, but continued to use the first ten years of peace, that is, A.D. 1999.
The history of Lu Bu's defeat at Xiapi, when he was hanged by Cao Cao at the White Gate Tower, was in February of 1999 AD.
Although this Lu Bu is not his Lu Bu, his lover is in the heyday of power, no one can beat him, and the future that he has taken the trouble to pave for him is also a bright and flat.
But after Yan Qing realized all this clearly, panic was still uncontrollably born.
In his subconscious, Lu Bu had always been in his best mold, without a hint of imagination about heroes with gray heads and old steeds.
That, however, was only because the historical Lu Bu hadn't even been able to earn the chance to age before he was defeated and died.
The fame of the dead will be immortalized, but as living people, they have to go through the pain of birth, old age, sickness and death.
Yan Qing looked at Lu Bu steadily, and after a short while, smiled slightly.
--Nothing indeed.
When the time comes, I'll go with you.
"Shigemitsu?"
Although Lu Bu is slow, but also vaguely aware of Yan Qing's inappropriate, can not help but embrace him into the embrace, the voice will be extremely light, lest a little heavier, inadvertently disturbed him: "In the end what happened?"
Yan Qing patted on his shoulder, completely without just suddenly surging sadness, steady said: "This matter is of great importance, can not be lost, we have been comfortable for so many days, to be tomorrow by the edict of the sealing of the public, it is appropriate to immediately depart, when the return to the town of Xu went."
Although Lu Bu was dissatisfied with Yan Qing's intention to change the topic, he was unwilling to force him to speak clearly, so he answered in a deep voice, "Good."
Two people and on the matter of sacrificing to heaven, talk in detail until late at night, and then bathe and go to bed.
But for some reason, Lu Bu tossed and turned on the bed, not making any noise, not stopping for a moment, and naturally hindering Yan Qing.
Yan Qing was half-annoyed, amused in his heart, and in his words, he only said in disbelief, "Why is the Lord tossing and turning?"
Lu Bu rasped, "Nothing."
Yan Qing let out an oh-so-quiet sound and really didn't make a sound.
Lu Bu became even more angry in his heart and intensified for a while, whereupon Yan Qing asked again, "What exactly does the Lord have in mind that he refuses to say to Qing?"
Lu Bu paused at his words and said in the middle of the day, "Shiguang has seen that public edict?"
Yan Qing gave an oh-so-quiet sound and said blandly, "I've seen it."
For a moment, Lu Bu was so angry that he couldn't speak.
If that's the case, then why don't you come and ask him why he went through all the trouble of having to use 'Yan' as a title in the first place?
Yan Qing ring around the unable to take the credit, can only turn his back to him secretly angry Lu Bu, hard to hold back the laughter, lest the other side annoyed, and then sighed and said: "I only blame the Qing is too useless, can not be sealed wife and shade children, the only thing you have to do is to labor Mrs. Lv personally on the battlefield fight, their own as a husband, but shamelessly stained the light."
"Yeah!"
When Lu Bu heard this, he did not know that Yan Qing was purely teasing him, and only blamed himself for not being able to hold his breath and really falling for his plan.
Being taken advantage of verbally, while he was furious and laughing, he did not nag and physically demanded payment from this soft husband.
When Guo Jia, who had a full night's sleep, saw Yan Qing, who had always disdained riding in a car and traveled alongside Lu Bu on horseback, lying in the middle of his own carriage and smiling awkwardly at him, he only raised his eyebrows in a strange manner and sat down beside him.
Guo Jia said, "The military general has Zi Long Wen Yuan Xing Ba, and left Duke Liang together with Zhi Er, one as an assassin and the other as a special chauffeur, it is too extravagant."
Yan Qing shook his head, "The most likely to start a war, except for that Yangzhou Shan Yue, is also Yi Liang two states, need to have both of them together, so that I can rest assured."
Guo Jia gave an oh, and asked, "Why don't you leave me behind? It saves having to run around all the time."
Yan Qing laughed coldly: "You have the nerve to say that, I am not that bold! In Yuzhou, at least you have Wen He to supervise you, but here, Mr. Liang has always been longing for you, and will definitely respond to your requests, so who cares about your excessive drinking?"
Guo Jia: "......"
