Shouchun City.

This most important city in Huainan is now silent.

Due to insufficient preparations in advance, the city did not reserve enough firewood to make fires to keep warm. Both civilians and soldiers could only snuggle up with each other and squeeze around the precious fire to keep warm.

In Shouchun City, there is only the imperial palace located in the center of the city. At this moment, it is brightly lit and shining like daytime.

It was Yuan Shu's palace, and it had now become the location of Lu Bu's military palace.

That bright palace seemed a little out of place with the desolation and darkness around it.

In the Golden Palace, the lights are blazing and the fragrance is everywhere.

Lu Bu and his generals were enjoying fine wine and good meat.

The food route leading to the outside world of Shouchun City has been cut off because Yuan Shu levies and levies. Most of the people in Shouchun are poor and have not saved much food and grass for the winter. Now the city is surrounded and soon falls into a grain famine.

The palace is an exception, which is full of food, grass, wine and meat that Yuan Shu had plundered from the people, and it was piled up like a mountain. These good things have now become owned by Lu Bu.

During this siege, Lu Bu would invite a banquet for the generals from time to time, hoping to consolidate the loyalty of the generals to him through these wine and meat.

Among the powerful generals of Lu Bu, Zhang Liao was missing. Cao Xing and Song Xian were captured alive by Tao Shang, and Hao Meng died in Xuzhou again. Now only four generals under his command are Gao Shun, Hou Cheng, Wei Xu and Cheng Lian.

Wei Xu was guarding the camp at the south corner of the city. At present, there were only three generals Gao Shun and Chen Gong, the injured adviser, accompanying him.

The two generals Hou Cheng and Cheng Lian just kept their heads and ate and looked heartless.

Chen Gong sipped the wine one by one, his brows were deep and thoughtful.

Only Gao Shun looked worried, neither willing to eat meat nor drink, and just sat there withered, sighing from time to time.

Lu Bu, who was sitting high on the dragon couch, had a mountain of fine wine and food in front of the table, but it was also difficult to swallow and had no appetite.

The atmosphere in the hall was quite dull.

Suddenly, there were vague noises and cries, as if coming from outside the palace.

"What's going on? Who dares to disturb me? "Lu Bu slapped the dragon case and ordered the soldiers to check it out.

A moment later, the soldiers came back and reported that they claimed that they were outside the palace, nearly a thousand men, women, and young men were gathered, claiming that they were hungry and asked Lu Bu to provide relief for food and grass.

The food and grass in the palace were piled up like mountains, which was enough to provide relief to the people. However, Lu Bu was worried that the grain would be cut off over time, so he ordered that the people should never be given food.

The people of Shouchun have been oppressed by Yuan Shu's harsh government for a long time. They could have to endure even if they only had a mouthful of porridge. But now the city is surrounded, and the firewood is cut off, and even the grain and rice of porridge are almost cut off. The people who were forced to go to the dead have to risk coming to the palace and ask Lu Bu for his orders.

"The grain and grass in the official warehouse are for the use of officials and soldiers. These troublemakers do not fight or shed blood. What if they are hungry? They have the face to ask for food from this marquis!" Lu Bu cursed with a deep face.

Chen Gong's brows slightly condensed, and he wanted to speak, but he stopped talking, and only sighed inwardly.

The two generals Cheng Lian and Wei Xu were both unrelated to themselves, just drinking their own wine and eating their own meat.

Gao Shun frowned secretly, and a little compassion appeared in his deep eyes. He hesitated for a moment and bowed: "Lord, the grain road in Shouchun City has been cut off. The people in the city cannot buy food and grass from the outside world. All households have been cut off for many days. I heard that people have begun to starve to death. The food and grass in the palace have accumulated like mountains, which is enough for our military and civilians to support for several months. Shun thought, he might as well take out some and save the lives of the people."

"Take a little?" Lu Bu glared at Gao Shun and asked back, "Then Hou Ben wants to ask you, can you be sure how long will Shouchun City be surrounded? If you are surrounded to the end, rely on the little food and grass you mentioned to make a living for the soldiers. Can you afford this responsibility?"

Gao Shun was speechless and had to close his mouth in depression.

After suppressing Gao Shun, Lu Bu snorted coldly and waved his hand and shouted: "Boar all the shameless unruly people away by this marquis. If they don't know the truth, they will kill a few people and warn them with blood."

When the soldiers got the order, they hurriedly left to pass the order. Soon, screams and crying sounded outside the palace. It was obvious that there were "uninteresting" people who were killed by Lu Jun's butcher knife.

Under the threat of iron-blooded suppression, the noise outside the palace gradually faded away, and it was obvious that all the people gathered outside had been scared away.

In the palace, peace finally returned to its original state.

Lu Bu had a bad appetite, and he made trouble for these hungry people, and he was even more unhappy. In his irritability, he brushed his hands and overturned all the wine and meat on the table to the ground.

The fragrant wine and large pieces of meat all fell to the ground.

The generals were startled and did not dare to say anything.

The personal soldiers on both sides rushed forward and quickly cleaned up the things that fell to the ground.

"Tao Shang, if you want to conquer Shouchun, don't think so! This time, this marquis will definitely survive and die with Shouchun..." Lu Bu gritted his teeth and started scolding Tao Shang again.

At this time, the soldiers who had just left came in again and bowed to him, "Report to the east gate, there were several cavalry approaching the city from the enemy camp outside the city, saying that they wanted to see the lord."

"What are the good things about the Tao thief? I ordered the defenders at the top of the city to shoot them with arrows." Lu Bu shouted without thinking.

"Lord, the brothers on the city wall report that one of the women seemed to be the eldest lady."

Miss?

Daughter Lu Lingji?

Lu Bu's expression changed immediately, Chen Gong also changed color slightly, and Gao Shun's body was even more shocked.

Their eldest lady heard that it was in the hands of the pottery merchant. How could she appear outside the city at this time and still meet Lu Bu?

"Tao Thief, what trick are you playing?" Lu Bu hit the table with a fist, and his sword eyebrows were deep.

Gao Shun was surprised and hurriedly said, "Lord, the eldest lady is still alive. This is a good thing. Go and meet her again no matter what."

Lu Bu had no choice but to have a blue face and suspicious heart, he immediately stood up and left the palace and headed straight for the east gate.

Gao Shun and others followed him.

Upon climbing to the east gate, Lu Bu looked up at the distance and saw more than ten horses on the top of the city, one of which was guarded by the surroundings looked like his daughter Lu Lingji.

Lu Bu immediately frowned deeply. When he saw that his daughter was still alive, he not only did not have a trace of gratitude, but also a hint of hatred flashed through his eyes.

It seems that Lu Lingji's life is a shame for him.

"It's really a young lady, the young lady is still alive." Gao Shun was very excited.

Lu Lingji, who was guarding the horse, was very happy when she saw her father appearing on the top of the city. She almost wanted to rush over to reunite with Lu Bu and his daughter.

This idea was dispelled by Fan Kuai's gaze and disappeared in a flash.

Of course, Tao Shang was wary of her, so she sent Fan Kuai to lead a team of iron cavalry soldiers to "protect" Lu Lingji to the city and persuade his father.

Lu Lingji had no weapons and was only half a horse away from Fan Kuai. Fan Kuai's hands were always pressed on the hilt of the knife, as if she was ready to take action at any time. As long as she dared to make any moves, Fan Kuai could immediately deal with him with one knife.

Tao Shang has a compassionate heart, but that is also a matter of people. Lu Lingji is ungrateful, so he will never be soft-hearted.

After calming down his agitation, Lu Lingji remembered the responsibility she had, took a deep breath, bowed to the top of the city: "Lingji has seen her father, and when she sees her father's safety, Lingji feels relieved."

Her appearance may be similar, but her voice cannot be copied. As soon as Lu Lingji spoke, not only Lu Bu, but everyone who knew her was sure that it was the same.

"It's the eldest lady's voice. She is really alive. It's great..." Gao Shun was very excited. He watched Lu Lingji grow up since childhood. Now that he sees her alive, how can he not be relieved?

Lu Bu's face was gloomy and there was no happiness on his face.

On the contrary, his face was still twitching with a faint look of anger.

Bang!

Suddenly, he hit the female wall with his fist and shouted angrily: "Are you worthy of being my marquis' daughter?"

This shout scared everyone present, and Gao Shun was shocked and looked at Lu Bu in surprise.

In front of the city, Lu Lingji's appearance changed color, and a trace of pain flashed through her bright eyes. Obviously, Lu Bu's heart was deeply hurt by the heartless scolding.

She knew why Lu Bu blamed her.

Even if the daughter of the world's number one warrior was captured, she should be a reputation for saving her life. However, she has survived to this day and still appears in front of the two armies. Lu Bu blamed her for losing his face.

She felt pain in her heart, but she could only swallow the bitterness and sighed: "Whatever my father wants to scold me, even if he scolded me, Ling Ji came today, just to tell her father to the Tao merchant that as long as his father was willing to let the city not go, he promised to let his father go safely. Ling Ji asked her father to agree to the Tao merchant's conditions."

Lu Lingji's voice was loud, and everyone in the city heard the Lu soldiers and all of them changed color.

They did not expect that the eldest lady of the Lu family came and was ordered by the Tao Shang to persuade their lord, her father, to abandon the city and flee.

If this statement was spoken by other lobbyists, it would naturally have no influence, but it caused a sensation from Lu Bu's daughter.

Lu Bu's figure was shocked violently, and he changed his color and angrily scolded: "Bitch, you are shameless, you live a life of silence and humiliate my Lu family's reputation, but you dare to threaten this lord for the traitor. You are so brave!"

The words "shame" ruthlessly hurt Lu Lingji's heart, humiliated her dignity, and were as strong as her, and were even more angry by her father's ruthless insults.

Her little face also sank, resentment flashed in her eyes, and she said sternly: "Father, you always scold me for being alone. If you hadn't wanted to give me to the Yuan family for help outside Xia Pi City, and abandon me and flee back to Xia Pi alone, would I have fallen to where I am today!"

Finally, Lu Lingji revealed the truth about that day in front of the soldiers of the two armies.

On the top of the city, all the soldiers of the Lu army changed color.

Gao Shun looked at Lu Bu in surprise, as if he couldn't believe that Lu Bu could do such a thing.

Thinking back to the beginning, after Lu Bu was devastated and fled back to Xia Pi alone, he told them that Lu Lingji was separated from him in the chaos.

Who would have expected that the world's number one warrior actually said that he had left his daughter alone.

In an instant, the soldiers' eyes showed disappointment, and their admiration for Lu Bu was greatly reduced.

Even Gao Shun, who had always been loyal, sighed secretly, with a helpless expression.

After being exposed by his daughter, Lu Bu's face was distorted and deformed, and his face turned red with anger. His eyes made him feel as if he was lit up on his back, and he felt a sense of embarrassment without any shame.

In anger, I was angry and angry, and I rushed to my head. Lu Bu snatched the sergeant's bow and arrow and cursed: "Bitch, how dare you talk nonsense and slander me. I, Lu Bu, don't have a daughter like you. Today I will clean up the portal for my Lu family!" Mobile users please visit http://m.piaotian.net
