To the east of the city, Lu Mansion.

Two vigorous figures flashed around in the courtyard, their speed so fast that they even made the sound of wind.

Lu Bu held a wide-edged Han sword in his hand and was wearing thin training clothes, even his hair was spread casually.

Despite this, it can still be seen that this man who is nearly forty years old looks handsome and free in every gesture.

The top ten looks of the Three Kingdoms are indeed not simple.

However, the woman he was sparring with didn't hold back at all. Instead, she attacked Lu Bu's vital points with her sword.

Lu Ling has grown up looking at this face since she was a child, and has long been immune to it. When it comes to looks, she prefers handsome and soft types, such as: Wei Mou.

Lu Bu saw his daughter stabbing him in the face again. Not only was he not annoyed, but he smiled and said: "Yes, very good, that's it, but it's better to aim at the eyes. Any carelessness on the battlefield is a fatal mistake."

.”

Lu Bu neatly swept away the oncoming blade, and kicked his daughter in the stomach.

If it were anyone else, Lu Bu's kick would have been aimed at the heart, but after all, the person in front of him was his precious daughter, and he couldn't bear to let her go, so he only used 30% to 40% of his strength and speed.

Seeing this, Lu Ling hurriedly stepped aside and then slashed the long knife in his hand, as if he was going to cut off Lu Bu's long legs.

The maid and housekeeper who were watching the battle were so frightened that they screamed.

On the other hand, Lu Bu laughed out loud, and just by raising his sword, he easily blocked Lu Ling's sword.

"Hahaha, if you want to hurt my father, you girl is still far away."

Lu Ling didn't expect that the flaw he had finally found would be solved like this. He threw away the long knife in his hand angrily and slapped Lu Bu on the face.

Lu Bu was afraid of hurting his daughter, so he threw away his sword and let his daughter punch and kick him to vent her displeasure.

After a while, Lu Bu, with a bruised nose and face, walked to the side and wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth with a hot towel. He looked at his daughter and asked worriedly: "Ling'er, are your hands okay?"

With a sad face, Lu Ling pulled back the dislocated finger and let out a trembling 'hum', full of arrogance.

Seeing this, Lu Bu smiled bitterly and shook his head. He was heartbroken and didn't know what he did wrong to make his daughter angry.

He clapped his hands.

Outside the courtyard gate, two maids came in carrying a doll. The exquisite dress on the doll attracted Lu Ling's attention.

Lu Bu said with a smile: "This is a custom-made dress for my father at a huge price from Steward Du of Xiuhefang. Come and see if you like it."

When Lu Ling heard this, her face looked much better. She looked around the dress and smiled with satisfaction.

When Lu Bu saw his daughter smiling, he was also happy in his heart. The old father could not be happier than this.

Not wanting to, Lu Ling suddenly said: "Lian'er, Luluo, please bring your clothes to my room quickly. This is what you will wear for tonight's banquet. I will go to the palace later and let Wei Jun see if it looks good."

Lu Bu: "..."

Looking at his daughter walking away, Lu Bu felt bitter in his heart.

The steward seemed to have been used to it for a long time. He put a windproof cloak on Lu Bu and said: "My lord, all the soldiers of the Tiger Army have been waiting in the front hall for a long time."

Lu Bu heard this and asked, "What time is it?"

The butler took out his pocket watch from his pocket and said, "It's midnight. The generals have been waiting for more than half an hour."

Lu Bu said 'hmm' and said, "Go and let the kitchen prepare the food and wine. The wine should be warm. It's getting colder and colder today."

Come to the front hall.

Zhang Liao, Gao Shun, Hao Meng and others were so bored that they started playing poker.

The big and small kings are respectively the soaring green dragon and the descending tiger, while kqj's picture has been changed to the twelve strong men on the dragon and tiger list.

Spades k Lu Bu, hearts k Dian Wei, and so on.

Of course, Landlord Battle has also become [Dragon and Tiger Battle], and the gameplay is still the same.

This is also a little game "invented" by Wei Cheng, and now it has become popular throughout the Han Dynasty.

Folks have even developed many more novel ways to play, and of course, Wei Cheng specifically made them popular.

At this time, Zhang Liao and others were playing the improved version of Niu Niu. The gambling money on the table was piled high, and they were all gamblers who were not short of money.

"Niu Jiu, haha, this is a total kill." Hao Meng was the banker, and he wanted to kill all with Niu Jiu.

Unfortunately, Gao Shun didn't get what he wanted, so he showed up directly and won ten pastry tickets.

And these ten pastry tickets could be exchanged for at least two sheep on the black market outside, and Hao Meng felt he was losing money.

At this time, Lu Bu happened to walk in. Seeing this scene, instead of being angry, he joined in happily.

However, the gambling capital changed from various tickets to wine.

"Whoever is drunk should not go to the banquet tonight."

Lu Bu got a little clever and realized that he could only bring three people to the banquet tonight, including his daughter, so he could only bring two more people.

Who should be led and whom should not be led? As a leader, this is all knowledge.

Heluo College.

Several teenagers are diligently studying military strategies.

In fact, as early as the 20th, Heluo College had already given students a winter vacation.

But the college has not closed. For those who want to continue studying, not only three meals are provided free of charge, but there are also dedicated people to serve the coal fire.

"Mr. Lu, are you here? My young lady has invited you?"

Lu Su frowned slightly and looked apologetically at Zhuge Liang and others beside him.

Zhuge Liang frowned and said: "Brother, let's go out and deal with it. If this trouble continues, we won't have to read any more."

Pang Tong ran to the window with a gossipy face, opened a small gap, took a sneak peek, and said: "Tsk, tsk, senior brother is so lucky, this young lady from the Yan family is really beautiful."

Lu Su was startled when he heard this.

Fazheng behind him directly poured a basin of cold water on her and said, "Don't listen to his nonsense. After all, the Yan family is also a wealthy family in Jizhou. How can a young lady from the Yan family show her face outside at will?"

When Lu Su heard this, his heart suddenly cooled down.

The young Lu Xun suddenly remembered something, glanced at Zhuge Liang who was immersed in studying, and asked in a low voice: "Brother A Liang, do you want me to deliver a message for you today?"

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Upon hearing this, Zhuge Liang hurriedly grabbed Lu Xun and made a hissing gesture towards him.

Lu Xun was a brat. When he saw this, he chuckled and said, "Brother A Liang, how about I find a way to bring you into the palace? I heard that we need a few boys to serve at tonight's banquet. You are not even ten years old, so you just agree."

condition."

Zhuge Liang was stunned for a moment, his heart even moved, and he tried in a low voice: "Isn't it good? Is there still a shortage of boys for the palace night banquet?"

Lu Xun also responded in a low voice: "The boys who serve here also have requirements. Firstly, they must be good-looking, secondly, they must be smart and sensible, and thirdly, they must have some literary talent. Other things are easy to say. There are many from aristocratic families.

But it looks good..."

Lu Xun paused for a moment when he said this, and his eyes at Zhuge Liang became a little narrow.

Zhuge Liang unconsciously touched his rosy face and nodded proudly.

"Tell me what you want, I don't believe you are so kind." Zhuge Liang looked at Lu Xun.

Lu Xun chuckled, glanced at Lu Su and the others, and saw that they were still leaning against the window. He quickly said: "Tonight there will be a small assessment for us children from aristocratic families. My aunt asked me to get into the top five no matter what.

It is said to have great benefits.”

When Zhuge Liang heard this, he couldn't help but feel envious. The Zhuge family was considered a famous family in Langya, but compared to the real big families, it was still a little behind. Especially the Lu family, because of its marriage relationship with the Wei family, it can now be said to be the top family in the Han Dynasty.

and so on.

Of course, envy is envy, Zhuge Liang is still very self-aware.

"Okay, how do you want me to help you?"

Lu Xun saw that he agreed readily and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I will take you to see Sister Niu first and find out about the content of the assessment."

Zhuge Liang nodded slightly, that charming and charming face appeared in his mind, and he couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth.

Hugh~

bong~!

As night falls, a colorful firework blooms in the sky.

It is said that Lord Wei is holding a New Year's Eve banquet tonight and has invited the thirty-six top families in the Han Dynasty, as well as the top twenty-eight masters on the Dragon and Tiger Ranking of the Han Dynasty.

Before it got dark, the large square in front of the south gate of the palace was filled with people who came to watch the excitement.

To this end, the people of the Imperial Palace specially built hundreds of sheds in front of the palace, and provided briquette stoves for heating.

In the long passage from the square to the south gate, a viewing corridor was paved with red cloth.

Whenever a member of an aristocratic family arrives, they will sing loudly, which not only makes the people have fun, but also makes the aristocratic family famous.

People on both sides were happy, the aristocratic family had gained prestige, and the common people had gained something to talk about.
