Three Kingdoms: I choose Xiao Qiao and Da Qiao, why are you crying, Diao Chan?

Chapter 459: Nothing Can Be Done (Belated update for Brother Gucheng~~ Sorry for the long wait!)
When Lu Bu came to the bedroom, he saw Xiao Qiao and Dong Bai sitting on the stone bench in the backyard, and he immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

When Xiao Qiao saw Lu Bu's nervous look, she asked quickly:
"Husband, what happened?"

Lu Bu said solemnly:
"An assassin broke into the mansion! I was worried that something might happen to you, so I came to check on you.

"Go back to your room immediately and lock the doors and windows. Unless someone you know calls you, don't open the door!"

Hearing this, Xiao Qiao and Dong Bai turned pale with fright and quickly stood up.

At this time, Lu Bu asked again:

"By the way, haven't your sister and the others come back yet?"

Xiao Qiao shook his head:

"I didn't see them."

Lu Bu panicked again, and then asked:

"What about Wu Xian and Mi Zhen?"

Dong Bai replied:

"The two ladies have gone to the kitchen to prepare dinner."

Lu Bu hurriedly asked Xiao Qiao and the other two to hide in the house.

He quickly went to the central courtyard and asked the guards at the gate to go into the backyard to protect Xiao Qiao and her two daughters.

Then he went to the kitchen and saw Mi Zhen and Wu Xian preparing dinner. He breathed a sigh of relief.

However, out of caution, he told the two girls the situation and asked them to go to the bedroom and wait immediately.

Then he came to the stable, ready to ride Red Hare, but was surprised to find a strange man lying on the floor of the stable.

The Red Hare was snorting angrily, with disdain in its eyes.

It seems that this assassin also wanted to attack Red Hare, but was killed by Red Hare instead.

Lu Bu bent down and sniffed the other person's breath and found that the man was not dead, but just fainted.

Lu Bu immediately called the guards, tied up the man, and stuffed a wooden stick in his mouth to prevent him from biting his tongue and committing suicide like the previous man.

After handing the assassin over to the guards, Lu Bu immediately mounted his old friend and headed straight out of the city.

Fortunately, his worries were unnecessary.

Before leaving the city, he saw Cheng Lian and hundreds of soldiers escorting a carriage into the city.

Cheng Lian had difficulty moving because he had a broken leg.

Therefore, Lu Bu asked him to stay in the mansion to guard the house very early.

The reason why the assassin was able to sneak into the mansion this time was because Cheng Lian was not there.

Otherwise, it would be very difficult for the assassin to enter the mansion.

Cheng Lian saw Lü Bu rushing over and thought something urgent had happened, so he asked:

"My Lord, what happened?"

Lu Bu didn't say much, but quickly came to the side of the carriage and lifted the curtain.

A fragrant breeze blew in, and Yan Qingqing, Da Qiao and others were sitting there.

Seeing their husbands suddenly arrive, the women immediately became happy.

Only Yan Qingqing noticed that her husband's brows were a little solemn, and asked quickly:
"Husband, what's wrong with you?"

Lu Bu glanced at Yan Qingqing and thought that she was worthy of being the legal wife who had lived with the original owner the longest and she really understood him best.

He immediately told the other party about the assassin who had entered the mansion.

After learning about this, the women all looked horrified.

Obviously, this was the first time they had encountered such a thing, and they were very frightened.

However, Yan Qingqing was relatively calm and asked quickly:

"Are Xiao Qiao and the others okay?"

Lu Bu shook his head slightly:

"This assassin should be coming for me and Red Hare.

"After all, if either of us is missing, our fighting power will be greatly reduced." "It seems that we must strengthen the protective measures in the mansion and even the entire Wancheng in the future."

Cheng Lian on the side said guiltily:
"It was all my negligence that allowed the assassin to sneak into the mansion. My lord, please hold me accountable..."

Before Cheng Lian could finish his words, Lu Bu raised his hand and interrupted him:

“It’s not your fault. You have fulfilled your responsibility by ensuring your sisters-in-law’s safety while traveling.

“Fortunately, the person who sent the assassin was not despicable enough and did not attack your sisters-in-law.

“It’s also possible that the other party was afraid of angering me, so they didn’t attack them.

"But no matter what, this is a warning. This kind of situation must never happen again in the future!"

Cheng Lian clasped his fists solemnly:

"Please rest assured, my lord. I am willing to guarantee with my life that I will never let assassins sneak into the mansion again!"

Before, he thought that being a gatekeeper in the Chu Mansion was extremely boring.

However, after experiencing this incident, he truly realized how important it was to protect Lord Chu's family from harm!

Lu Bu said nothing more and immediately accompanied the carriage back to the mansion.

Afterwards, he asked Cheng Lian to mobilize 500 soldiers to guard the area around the mansion, and then went to find Chen Wu who was seriously injured in Yizhou last time.

After several months of recuperation, Chen Wu lost both his hands.

But with Zhang Zhongjing's continuous treatment, he not only survived successfully, but also returned to Lujiang County for almost a month.

I'm at home at the moment.

Although he lost his hands, his legs are still intact.

As his body gradually recovered, he did not give up on himself nor did he indulge in pleasure.

He then began to hone his leg skills, hoping that one day he could help Lord Chu.

But he didn't expect that this day would come so soon.

After learning that Duke Chu had invited him, he immediately excitedly took a carriage to Duke Chu's mansion.

Lu Bu also attached great importance to this meritorious official and personally waited for him at the gate of his mansion.

Chen Wu jumped off the carriage and saw Lord Chu waiting in front of the mansion gate. His expression changed slightly and his heart was filled with emotion.

He hurried forward, and without hands he could only bow:
"I greet Lord Chu!"

Lu Bu looked at Chen Wu's empty sleeves, a trace of sadness appeared on his face:
"Zi Lie...how is your recovery?"

Chen Wu grinned, looking quite optimistic:

"Thanks to the Lord's blessing, I have recovered well and have adapted to life without arms."

Looking at the bright smile on Chen Wu's face, Lu Bu felt even more uncomfortable.

He patted Chen Wu's shoulder gently and told him about the assassination in the mansion:

"From now on, I'll ask you and Cheng Lian to jointly protect the safety of the mansion and even the entire Wancheng."

Seeing Lord Chu's expectant eyes, Chen Wu suddenly became excited and bowed again:
"I will definitely live up to my lord's trust!"

Lu Bu perked up a little and said:
"Come on, accompany me to interrogate the assassin and find out who sent him to kill me."

Chen Wu responded and entered the mansion with Lu Bu.

In a side room in the mansion.

A middle-aged assassin was tied to the chair, wearing the clothes of a manservant in the mansion.

After investigation, it was found that two male servants in the mansion were killed and their clothes were stripped off.

At this moment, the assassin was glaring at the guards surrounding him.

He wanted to bite his tongue to commit suicide, but a piece of wood tied to a rope was stuffed into his mouth, blocking his teeth.

No matter how hard he bit, he couldn't break the stick.

Just when he was at his wit's end, heavy footsteps suddenly sounded outside the door...
