[Three Kingdoms] Heroine Cultivation Manual

In the fluffy hemp, it will straighten itself if it is not supported; the white sand is in nirvana, and it will be black with it.Since one was born in Luoyang, one is in the political center, so who can be alone?

Qin Chu finally rejected Ding Yuan's explicit statement under the pretext of "too much to drink", walked out of the banquet hall under the disappointed gaze of the other party, found a path with a decent view in the courtyard, and began to wander aimlessly.

The sky is still dark and heavy above the head, Mangshan Mountain is submerged in gloom, and the rain is about to fall, like a stick in the throat.

She walked a few steps along the path, and saw that the peonies along the way had just passed the flowering period, and the pink petals were drooping downwards, which made people feel uninterested.

"Weak and weak," she thought to herself, "like the Eastern Han Dynasty."

She flicked it with her index finger, and the slightly curled petals at the edges moved limply, and then they just floated down like this.

Qin Chu: "..."

It was so auspicious.

She withdrew her hand expressionlessly, turned around without interest, and wanted to find a pavilion to rest. When she looked up, she found a person standing in front of her.

Her heart suddenly skipped a beat, and she looked a little frightened.

It's no wonder she was taken aback.This person is nine feet long, tall and big, and casts a shadow that can envelop her whole body, but she walks silently like a cat, and it is exaggerated by the gloomy weather, it looks like a ghost.

Qin Chu collected himself, only to realize that it was Lu Bu who was beside Ding Yuan at the banquet.

"Master Lu," she breathed a sigh of relief, called out casually, and said a few nonsense politely, "What a coincidence, you also come to relax?"

Lu Bu let out a "hmm", not knowing whether to admit it or deny it, he looked down at her absent-mindedly, without speaking, his gaze was fixed on her face, making her bewildered.

"...Is there something on my face?"

"No." He replied honestly, his eyes still glued to her face.

Lu Bu was silent for a moment, then suddenly asked a question without beginning or end, with a solemn expression as if discussing important military affairs:

"Did you go out during curfew in April?"

What is the problem?

Qin Chu was taken aback, almost taken aback by his serious face, and thought about it, only to feel that the curfew is outside the door every day, and there is no way out at all.

"No." She replied confidently, "I've never gone out."

Lu Bu frowned, showing an expression of "You're lying." Just as he was about to speak, he seemed to be scrupulous about something. After holding back for a long time, he squeezed out a sentence: "Think about it again."

Qin Chu: "..."

"No," Qin Chu said, "our military affairs are complicated, and Fu Chu is busy with military affairs, so he has no habit of sleeping at night."

"On April [-]th, you didn't—"

"No. What exactly is Master Lu talking about?"

Qin Chu actually remembered the April [-]th he mentioned.

At the end of April, not long after she arrived in Luoyang, and the army was stationed for a few days, she was busy listening to news from all parties, so she went to get the secret letter from Song Dian, and on the way back, she met a Zhijinwu who was amazing in martial arts...it must be Lu Bu .

However, neither she nor Song Dian had a private exchange of information, or the reason for the stone falling from the sky, it was not easy to explain, Qin Chu had no choice but to play dumb.

It's just that this general is really a bit weak. I don't know if he was really brain-damaged by the big rock last time. He changed the question several times upside down. It seems that he is determined to get a positive answer from her mouth. Answer.

Fortunately, she wasn't in trouble for too long.When Lu Bu questioned for the third time, someone finally came and interrupted him.

The person who came to deliver the message seemed to be a general, and his position at the banquet was not high. Qin Chu didn't pay much attention to it at the time.

This young soldier looked not much older than her. He was quite tall, but his expression was respectful and serious. He lowered his head and cupped his fists, and first called: "Ting Master, Master Lu."

Lu Bu asked half of what he said, but he blocked him back, and asked a little angrily, "What's the matter?"

The young general looked up at Qin Chu, hesitated for a moment, then looked at Lu Bu, who was not aware of it, and finally said slowly: "Ding Bingzhou has received the news that Dong Zhuo's troops are approaching the city, and he has brought his troops to Xiamen."

"..." Lu Bu forgot to hang the big stone now.His eyebrows frowned, and his attention was quickly brought to Xiamen: "Zhang Wenyuan, please explain clearly, how many people did my adoptive father bring?"

"Almost all of them. Only my subordinates and 300 people followed..." Zhang Liao glanced at Qin Chu as he spoke. Seeing her calm expression, he said, "Follow the pavilion master."

"Okay, I'll go right away." Lu Bu didn't pay attention to the second half of Zhang Liao's sentence, and his focus was on "almost everything" - which is a good thing.Ding Yuan brought everyone there, so he didn't need to recruit another army, it was a waste of time.

After all, the flying general is a flying general, so he left as soon as he said, but there were indeed some mistakes in this person's head. Glaring at Qin Chu, even Zhang Liao noticed it, and pretended to turn his head casually, and glanced at her quietly.

Qin Chu: "..." Don't be so coquettish.

She glanced at Lu Bu's burly back, she had nothing to say, so she smiled at Zhang Liao, and said to him from left to right:

"The general is Zhang, the 'superior in martial arts' mentioned by Dong Bingzhou, right?"

Just like Yuan Shao deliberately ignored her combat power, Qin Chu didn't make any extra reactions when he heard "Dong Zhuo's soldiers are approaching the city", but just chatted casually.

"Master Ting, forgive me. I was just anxious to find Master Lu's biography of Bingzhou Order, and I will tell you the details in the future." Zhang Liao seemed to be deliberating where to start, and after thinking for a while, he said: "Bingzhou originally wanted to find you, but Cao Xiaowei said that the owner of the pavilion was in poor health, so he didn't bother you to go with him.

Therefore, Bingzhou left 300 people, and sent subordinates to follow you to protect one or two. "

Qin Chu let out a groan, and walked side by side with him on the winding path of the mansion, his eyes sinking slightly.

Ding Yuan and Cao Cao...

Let's not talk about Qin Chu's own martial arts, let's talk about the two thousand elite soldiers in her hands, even though they are not many in number, they are all the real elite honed by the wind and sand in Xiliang, and they don't need the protection of others at all.

Although Ding Yuan praised Zhang Liao's martial arts at the banquet, the official position he can hold is there, but he is just an assistant to the governor, and his status is really not high.

He left Zhang Liao with 300 troops to follow, which definitely had nothing to do with the "guards", but more like the "sincerity of the alliance" left in haste - told Qin Chu that even if he had done it beforehand, what he said at the banquet would still count.

Qin Chu laughed silently.

Everyone in Luoyang is very smart.

Even a "reckless man" in the eyes of others like Ding Yuan may not be less thoughtful than ordinary people.

And Zhang Liao said "Ding originally wanted to invite her to go with her, but was stopped by Cao Cao", which is another matter.

She knew Cao Cao, he had always made clear decisions on major matters, and it was impossible not to see clearly the current situation.

Dong Zhuo is strong and powerful, so the more people who oppose him, the better. What's more, he opposed Dong Zhuo's entry into Beijing from the very beginning.At this time, Dong Zhuo's Xiliang army was under pressure and the situation was critical. Cao Cao had no reason to avoid her.

Suspicious and conceited, this is more like Yuan Shao's style.

After all, Cao Cao and Yuan Shao have been friends for many years, so it is not surprising that he is standing behind Yuan Shao at this time.While Yuan Shao was afraid of Dong Zhuo, he was wary of her at the same time, which was also expected by the counselors.

"Let's go," Qin Chu said, "Since the banquet can't continue due to some accident, please ask Zhang Zong to send me back home."

Zhang Liao hugged his fist and said, "No."

The two walked towards the banquet hall along the original road. When they turned a corner, a stream of electricity flashed across the sky, which shattered the silence before the rain unexpectedly. Then the thunder roared, and heavy rain fell on the ground and clothes in an instant. .

"It's raining."

"Well," Qin Chu touched the tip of his nose, wiping away the raindrops that fell just now.She straightened the back of her hand across her forehead, and sighed, "Mistake, I forgot to bring my umbrella."

……

When they returned to the mansion despite the wind and rain, the soldiers of Xiamen in the north just passed the letter back.

Qin Chu nodded, and in a low voice ordered the soldiers to put the letter back on the desk, before nodding politely to Zhang Liao:

"It's time to work. I have asked the servants in the mansion to tidy up the wing room. Zhang Zong can take a rest first."

"Thank you, Pavilion Master."

Seeing Zhang Liao bowing her hands and retreating, she breathed a sigh of relief, tore off the drenched outer robe, picked up the new clothes from the clothes rail behind the screen, put them on indiscriminately, tied two half-dead knots, and called out: " Wen Ruo!"

She spread out the letter while calling for people, and scanned the information on it ten lines at a glance. Seeing him coming in from the corner of her eye, she pointed to the wooden couch next to the desk with one heart: "Wen Ruo sits."

At this time, Shen Shi was not over yet, it was about three or four o'clock in the afternoon, but it was already dark as night.It was pouring rain outside the window, occasionally mixed with a few thunderclaps, which made people feel dull.

Xun Yu had just changed into his foreign clothes. Seeing that Qin Chu was still bowing his head in thought, he stretched out his sleeves and reached out to turn on the candle for her. The red shadow flickered lightly, and the light in the study room was brighter.

After a while, Qin Chu raised his head from the letter and described the situation to him:

"Ding Yuan Nalu's righteous son fought in front of the Xia Gate, and single-handedly picked Dong Zhuo's three generals. Dong Zhuo was afraid of his martial prowess, and the stalemate has persisted since he was awarded gold."

Xun Yu pondered: "Dong Zhongying has many soldiers and horses, and Yuan Benchu ​​may not be able to defeat him."

"That's right. Dong Zhuo's Xiliang troops plus He Jin's remaining troops are more than Yuan Shao Dingyuan's combined. Even if Lu Bu retreats temporarily, he can defeat them later.

Although Yuan Benchu ​​took pains to exclude me, he was not so stupid as to confront him head-on. "

"My lord is right. The current situation is not good for Yuan Shao. He should choose to negotiate while Lu Bu Yuwei is still there."

"Well, Wen Ruo thinks the result?"

Xun Yu smiled slightly: "There is not much difference."

He has a gentle and calm demeanor, and speaks slowly, but the content hits the nail on the head:

"Dong Zhuo has come to this point, and he will not back down. Even if he promised Yuan Shao not to enter the city, he would ask for more political chips."

Xun Yu's words were too tactful.

For Dong Zhuo, there is not much difference between soldiers inside and outside the city. Yuan Shao's enthusiasm for leading troops to confront him may be in his favor.

Aristocratic families put their reputation first, and Yuan Shao is even more face-saving, so he will never allow "rushing out of the city gate and returning in defeat" to happen, and his tolerance for negotiations is naturally higher.

Dong Zhuo had a good plan.

Qin Chu nodded and did not comment further.

She was silent for a moment, staring down at the flickering candle, her eyelashes trembling slowly, then suddenly raised her head, and met the always calm dark eyes of Young Master Xun:

"Wen Ruo, Dong Zhuo messed up the capital, I might make a risky move."

"Will you trust me?"
