My balcony connects the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 426 Banquet ([-])

East of the city, Lu Mansion.

Two vigorous figures flashed and moved in the courtyard, and the fast speed even caused the wind to grin.

Lu Bu held a broad-edged Han sword in his hand, and was wearing a thin training suit, even his hair was loose.

Even so, it can still be seen that this man, who is nearly forty years old, is handsome and free and easy in his gestures and gestures.

It is really not easy to be among the top ten in the Three Kingdoms.

However, the woman who was training with him didn't hold back at all, instead, she rushed to Lu Bu's body and stabbed at every point.

Lu Ling has grown up watching this face since she was a child, and she has long been immune to it. When it comes to appearance, she prefers the handsome and gentle type, such as: someone Wei.

Seeing his daughter stabbing him in the face again, Lu Bu was not annoyed, but smiled and said, "Yes, that's fine, that's it, but it's better to aim for the eyes, and it's a fatal mistake to keep your hands on the battlefield." .”

Cleanly sweeping away the stabbing blade, Lu Bu turned around and kicked his daughter in the stomach.

If it were someone else, Lu Bu's kick would have been kicked with heart, but the person in front of him was his precious daughter after all, and he couldn't bear it, so he only used [-] to [-] percent of his strength and speed.

Seeing this, Lu Ling hurriedly took a side step to dodge, and then swung down with the long knife in his hand, as if to cut off Lu Bu's long leg.

The servant girl and housekeeper who were watching the battle by the side cried out in shock.

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

"Hahaha, if you want to hurt Weifu, you girl is still far behind."

Lu Ling didn't expect that the flaw he had found with great difficulty would be resolved in this way. Angrily, he dropped the long knife in his hand, and punched Lu Bu's face indiscriminately.

Lu Bu was afraid of hurting his daughter, so he dropped the long sword casually, and let his daughter beat and kick him to vent her displeasure.

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

With a mournful face, Lu Ling snapped back his dislocated fingers, and let out a cold 'hum', full of arrogance.

Seeing this, Lu Bu shook his head with a wry smile, feeling overwhelmed, and didn't know what he did wrong, which made his daughter angry.

Clap your hands.

Two maids outside the courtyard came in carrying a doll, and the exquisite dress on the doll attracted Lu Ling's attention.

Lv Bu smiled and said, "This is a dress made for my father at a great price. I asked Steward Du of Xiuhefang to order it. You can see if you like it."

Hearing this, Lu Ling looked a lot better, looked around the dress, and smiled with satisfaction.

When Lu Bu saw his daughter smiling, he was also happy. The old father couldn't be more happy than this.

Not wanting, Lu Ling suddenly said: "Lian'er, Luluo, you guys move your clothes into my room quickly, I'll wear them for the banquet tonight, I'll go to the palace in a while, let Jun Wei see if they look good."

Lu Bu: "..."

Looking at his daughter going away, Lu Bu felt a bitterness in his heart.

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

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

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

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

Come to the vestibule.

Zhang Liao, Gao Shun, Hao Meng and others were bored enough to play poker.

The big and small kings are the soaring green dragon and the descending tiger respectively, and the pattern of KQJ 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, Doudizhu has also become [Dragon and Tiger Fight], and the gameplay is still the same.

This is also a small game "invented" by Wei Cheng, and it has become popular in the whole Han Dynasty.

The folks have even developed many more novel ways to play, of course, Wei Cheng deliberately let people spread them.

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

"Niu Jiu, haha, this is a pass kill." Hao Meng is in charge, and Niu Jiu wants to kill with one hand.

It's a pity that Gao Shun didn't like what he wanted, so he came directly to a [-] calf and won ten pastry tickets.

And these ten pastry tickets can be exchanged for at least two sheep in the black market outside, Hao Meng complained that he was bloody.

At this time, Lu Bu just walked in. Seeing this scene, instead of being angry, he joined in cheerfully.

It's just that the gambling money has changed from various tickets to alcohol.

"Whoever is drunk, don't go to the banquet tonight."

Lu Bu was a little clever, it happened that he could only bring three people to the banquet tonight, his daughter counted as one, and he could only bring two more here.

Who to lead and not to lead, as a leader, this is all learning.

···
Heluo College.

Several teenagers are tirelessly studying military strategy.

In fact, as early as the [-]th, Heluo College had already given the students winter vacation.

But the college is not closed. For those who want to continue their studies, not only three meals are provided for free, but there are also special people to serve the coal fire.

"Young master Lu, is the young master there? Is my lady welcome?"

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

Zhuge Liang frowned and said: "Brother, let's go out and deal with it, if this continues, we don't even need to read books."

Pang Tong ran to the window with a gossipy face, opened a small gap, peeked at it secretly, and said, "Tsk tsk, brother is so lucky, this Miss Yan is really beautiful."

Lu Su was startled when he heard this.

Fazheng poured cold water on him behind him, and said, "Don't listen to his nonsense, the Yan family is also a big family in Jizhou, how could Miss Yan's show her face outside at will."

When Lu Su heard it, his fiery heart instantly cooled down.

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

When Zhuge Liang heard this, he hurriedly grabbed Lu Xun and booed him.

Seeing this, Lu Xun laughed and said, "Brother Ah Liang, why don't I find a way to bring you into the palace. I heard that tonight's banquet needs a few boys to serve you. You are not even ten years old, so you just agree." condition."

Zhuge Liang was stunned for a moment, his heart was even moved, and he tried in a low voice: "Isn't it good, the palace banquet is still short of children?"

Lu Xun also responded in a low voice: "There are also requirements for the servant boy. First, he must be good-looking, second, he must be smart and sensible, and third, he must have a bit of literary talent. Other things are easy to say. The aristocratic family chooses a lot. But it looks good..."

Lu Xun stopped here for a while, and looked at Zhuge Liang with narrowed eyes.

Zhuge Liang unconsciously touched his rosy face, and nodded conceitedly.

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

Lu Xun giggled, glanced at Lu Su and the other three, and saw that they were still lying on the window, he said hastily: "Tonight there will be a small assessment for the children of us aristocratic families. My aunt told me to squeeze into the top five no matter what. It is said to be of great benefit.”

Zhuge Liang couldn't help feeling envious when he heard the words, the Zhuge family is considered a famous family in Langya, but compared to the real big family, it is still a little bit worse, especially the Lu family, because of the marriage relationship with the Wei family, it can be said to be the top family of the Han Dynasty ilk.

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

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

Seeing that he agreed readily, Lu Xun grinned and said, "No hurry, I'll take you to see Sister Niu first, and find out the content of the assessment by the way."

Zhuge Liang nodded slightly, and the corners of his mouth raised involuntarily as the cute face appeared in his mind.

···
huh~
Bong~!

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

It is said that tonight Weijun will hold a New Year banquet, and invited the top 36 families of the Han Dynasty, as well as the top 28 masters of the Han Dynasty Dragon and Tiger Ranking.

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.

For this reason, the people of the Inner Court specially built hundreds of sheds in front of the palace, and provided coal pellet stoves for heating in the sheds.

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

Whenever a person from a family comes, they will sing loudly, which makes the people have fun and at the same time makes the family famous.

People on both sides are happy, the aristocratic family has gained prestige, and the common people have gained talk.

"The Yuan family in Runan, four generations and three princes, the current head of the family, great talent and great strategy..."

At this time, Yuan's motorcade just passed by, and I don't know whether it was childcare or the will of the people, a large crowd shouted loudly, which aroused the excitement of several members of the Yuan family on the carriage.

Yuan Shu laughed and said: "This night banquet is well organized, it is much more interesting than previous palace banquets, take a look, listen, hahaha, wonderful, wonderful."

Yuan Shao and the others looked at each other, and they all smiled resentfully and echoed twice.

Especially Yuan Shao, although he is unwilling, but now it is a foregone conclusion. He has to find a way to tie up with the family in order to seek more benefits. If he fights alone, he will only be left further and further behind by Yuan Shu.

At this time, someone outside the carriage shouted: "Please, Patriarch Yuan, get off the shelf and pray for my big man."

Yuan Shu was stunned, what link is this?
Lifting the curtain of the car, Yuan Shu saw a boy holding a tray with both hands, and another boy holding a strangely shaped 'lantern'.

The young man was Zhuge Liang, who had assumed the identity of serving the boy due to Lu's relationship.

Seeing Yuan Shu, Zhuge Liang said neither humble nor overbearing: "Patriarch Yuan, please get off the shelves, write prayers and blessings for my great man, and let them fly into the sky above the bright lantern, illuminating our great man's thousands of miles of territory."

Although Yuan Shu didn't know why, he thought it was a good thing, so with the support of the coachman, Shi Shiran walked down the shaft of the carriage.

The people in the square burst into shouts at the right time, and Yuan Shu cheerfully cupped his hands in all directions.

Zhuge Liang brought Yuan Shu to a table, handed him a wolf hair, pointed to the red paper on the table, and said, "Patriarch Yuan please."

Yuan Shu took the wolf hair, knowing that he was going to write a blessing, after much deliberation, his eyes lit up, and he splashed ink, and wrote a sentence of my man: "Anyone who commits a strong man will be punished even if he is far away. The Yuan family in Runan, Yuan Shu picked up a pen.

Although suspected of plagiarism, Yuan Shu wrote very seriously, and his calligraphy is also good. The golden ink spreads on the red paper, which suddenly looks majestic and inviolable.

Zhuge Liang couldn't help but praised: "Good calligraphy, written vigorously and powerfully, like a general who slaps Fang Qiu on the battlefield, has the courage and heart to move forward."

Yuan Shu heard Zhuge Liang's eyes, handed him the wolf hair, and said, "Mr. Xiao is a student of Heluo College, right?"

Zhuge Liang smiled without saying a word, just nodded slightly, took the wolf hair and placed it on the pen stand.

Yuan Shu looked more and more pleasing to his eyes, he took off one of the ornaments around his waist, and said: "If you are interested, Mr. Xiao, you can use this token to come to my Yuan family to talk about it later."

Zhuge Liang was taken aback when he saw this, glanced at Yuan Shu, and took the token respectfully with both hands. As for whether to go back or not, let's talk about it.

It's not easy to lose face at the moment.

Seeing this, Yuan Shu smiled with satisfaction, and at the same time saw a young man pasting his pen and ink on the lamp.

After posting it, the young man sang loudly: "The Yuan family in Runan prayed to the heavens, and those who commit crimes against strong men will be punished even if they are far away."

As he spoke, he let go of the bright lamp, and the bright lamp slowly rose into the sky in full view of everyone.

Not to mention Yuan Shu, even the people who watched this scene were stunned. Immediately afterwards, waves of eager sounds like a tsunami exploded.

"Whoever commits crimes against a strong man will be punished no matter how far away, and whoever commits a crime against a strong man will be punished no matter how far away..."

"Yuan Shi, mighty, Yuan Shi, mighty..."

Yuan Shu's heart trembled, and he suddenly had a bad premonition.

Hey, who came up with this horrible idea? If I, Mrs. Yuan, don't abide by this prayer, won't I be nailed to the wall and scolded to death?

How high-spirited you are at the moment, how embarrassing you will be if you really want to fight later.

Looking at the passionate crowd, Yuan Shu couldn't laugh or cry in his heart, and had to maintain the demeanor that a patriarch should have on his face.

Looking at the smiling Zhuge Liang, Yuan Shu suddenly lost his affection, and always felt that he was being tricked, and this young man was an accomplice.

Thinking of Zhuge Liang's admiration just now, Yuan Shu blushed and felt ashamed.

After that, the patriarchs of each family were invited to get off the car, leaving all kinds of words of blessing.

Some people have seen through the connotation of Wei Cheng's little trick, while others enjoy the support of the common people. It can only be said that the benevolent see benevolence and the wise see wisdom.

And Zhuge Liang, who was serving the boy, was naturally noticed by people from several aristocratic families.

Except for the token Yuan Shu left him, Zhuge Liang's arms were already full at this time, and there were even a few embroidered handkerchiefs in it.

This scene continued until 36 families entered the palace.

And after that, is the main event.

When the boy started to sing the names on the "Big Han Dragon and Tiger List", the square seemed to explode.

Huge waves of sound and cheers echoed and circled throughout Luoyang City.

Compared with those aristocratic families, the common people prefer these heroes who shine on the battlefield.

And the 28 top big men headed by Lu Bu also appeared in a unique way.

It was four 'houses' equipped with four large black wheels, the lower floor was glazed with sealed windows, and the upper floor was a large terrace.

And Lu Bu and others stood on the terrace, wearing custom-made gold armor, smiling and waving to the people.
