Three Kingdoms New Emperor

Chapter 157 Lu Bu's Choice

In the early morning, the morning light, which contains endless power, slowly dispelled the darkness of the night sky. When the morning light finally merged with the rising sun in the sky, the tired-looking guards on the Chang'an city wall saw a scene that terrified them immediately. : The boundless army of Liangzhou appeared in the morning light like a colony of ants, and the cold weapons in their hands shone with dazzling light.

Liangzhou rebels are about to attack the city again!
A panicked order immediately sounded the warning gong, and at the same time rushed to the military tent in the city.The day before, he didn't need to do this, the chief general Huangfusong would have discovered this situation a moment earlier than him.

But today, he knew that he had to personally report to the general who was drunk last night.Moreover, he also knew that this report might cost his life.

After all, everyone knew that the general who had returned from the outskirts was in a very bad mood because of the more than 1 Bingzhou brothers who died in vain.And after a person is drunk and woken up by bad news, his temper may not be much better.

Being kicked by such a unparalleled fierce general, I am afraid that my life will be gone at that time, right?
The messenger wandered outside the tent door in horror, but thinking of his duty, he still risked his life and strode into the tent door.

"Report! General, the Liangzhou rebels are attacking the city again!"

When the messenger entered the tent, he didn't dare to look at any part of the tent, and kept his head down deeply.But after saying this, he felt that the time had passed a long distance before he raised his head boldly.

When he saw the first thing in the tent, he hurriedly lowered his head to the ground as if he was electrocuted.At the same time, the body is ready to be tensed and beaten.

Because what he saw was an arm as bright as white jade.That bullying Saixue's skin almost dazzled his eyes!

He knew that it was General Lu's favorite concubine, a woman named 'Diao Chan' who he snatched from Dong Zhuo's lair, Meiwu, regardless of the holy order.For such a beautiful woman, Lu Bu killed Dong Zhuo, but he accidentally saw it... Thinking of this, the messenger felt that his end was near.

But to his surprise, it seemed that another long period of time had passed, and he still hadn't suffered the blow he expected.Amidst the strong smell of alcohol and the smell of women's makeup, he looked up again hesitantly, only to find that the God of War-like figure didn't seem to have a hint of drunkenness on his face.And Diao Chan, who was still sleeping in the brocade just now, had put on a light gauze at some point, and was putting on a battle armor for Lu Bu.

"Have you seen enough?" Lu Bu turned his head slightly, and asked indifferently to the messenger.

With such a simple sentence, he immediately sent an order to fall into the ice cellar.His lips were trembling, his mind was blank, he didn't know what he was talking about: "No... no, enough of it... no, this subordinate didn't see anything..."

"Go down, I already know." Lu Bu waved his hand, looking at the messenger, he seemed to be amused.But although he said this to the herald, his eyes were lovingly looking at Diao Chan who was meticulously arranging his armor behind him.

The order was ordered to retreat in a panic.But as soon as he left the camp, he hesitated again: Has his mission been completed?The general said he knew, but why didn't any orders come down?
"Husband, will this farewell be the day of eternal decision?" Diao Chan gently stroked the corner of Lu Bu's beast python belt, the nostalgia in his eyes could almost melt the winter ice and snow.

"Of course not." Lu Bu suddenly turned around and kissed Diao Chan's cherry lips deeply.Afterwards, he took two steps back, threw Diao Chan a battle armor that was obviously a few sizes smaller, and told her, "Put this on, and you will meet the enemy with me today."

Diao Chan was taken aback for a moment, she naturally knew that she was not good at martial arts, but she looked at Lu Bu's handsome and resolute dark brown pupils, but without any hesitation, she took off the veil and put on the battle armor in front of Lu Bu: "Husband , today you and I will go to Huangquan together. Let the world know that even life and death cannot separate us!"

When Lu Bu heard these words, the coldness on his face melted immediately, and his emotion was beyond words.But at this time it was not the time for children to love each other, so he immediately turned his face down again, and said to Diao Chan seriously: "Diao Chan, I let you wear this battle armor, not to make you bloody on the battlefield, but just for your convenience. I escaped from Chang'an together."

"What? Husband, do you want to be that coward that the world despises?!" Diao Chan's face paled for a moment, as if she couldn't believe what she heard.

"Hmph, coward?" Lu Bu glanced at Diao Chan lightly, a trace of compassion inevitably flashed in his dark brown pupils: "I, Lu Bu, have lived my whole life, am I the kind of person who covets life and fears death?" After a pause, Lu Bu's eyes The color of pity is stronger, and I can't see the demeanor of a world-famous general, as if he is more like a lonely martial artist: "A woman looks like a pleasing one, and a man dies for a confidant. Chan'er, you are luckier than me. No matter what, I have found a man who dotes on you and loves you like me. But I, Lu Bu, have been in chaos for half my life, but I don’t have that blessing.”

"Earlier under Ding Yuan, he let me be the boss, but drove me like a dog. Under Dong Zhuo, I really became a dog who guards the house. However, after being under Wang Yun..." Lu Bu smiled wryly With a sound, it seems that he does not want to mention this matter:

"Under Situ, who is a self-proclaimed celebrity, I am not even as good as a dog. Although he entrusts me with important tasks and comforts me with important positions, I am completely clear about Huangfusong's incident last night. Warriors like us would simply dismiss it. If it wasn't for Chang'an's internal and external troubles, and he had to rely on my Bingzhou Army, he would have been thrown away as an outcast."

"I think that I, Lu Bu, have been a soldier in the frontier fortress until today. Although my official position is getting bigger and bigger, my situation is getting worse." Lu Bu glanced at Diao Chan for the last time, shook his head, and finally gave up the conversation: "Isn't talking about these things now? When I was here, I just want to know, you, a canary kept in a cage, would you ever be willing to live a life of ups and downs with me in the future?"

"Why did my husband say that?" Diao Chan's face turned serious when he heard the words, and said seriously: "My husband would not give up his life for Diao Chan. Although Diao Chan is a woman, she is not the kind of person who is greedy for glory and ungrateful. If you are willing to go to Huangquan with your husband, why should you be afraid of the miserable wind and rain after that day?"

Lu Bu didn't say another word after hearing the words, after hugging Diao Chan tightly, he wanted to turn around and walk out of the tent in big strides.

But Diao Chan seemed to have thought of something else at this moment, knowing that her weight in Lu Bu's heart was no longer light, so she asked again: "General, don't think that this concubine is ignorant and talkative. It's just that my husband has really arrived here. A place with no end in sight? I feel that if His Majesty returns to Chang'an today, it is still unknown who will receive the most important imperial trip."

"Your Majesty, the young emperor?" Lu Bu seemed to have never thought of this way out. Hearing Diao Chan mention it, he recalled that 12-year-old boy in his mind.After thinking carefully for a moment, he smiled lightly and said, "This seems to be a good way out. That kid is a very thoughtful and interesting person. Unfortunately, he was born ten years later. And I, earlier Mistakenly cast under Wang Yun's sect..."

"Perhaps, one day, that young emperor will truly grow into an emperor who holds the universe in his hands, and I, Lu Bu, will sincerely worship him at his feet. But now, I am not Huangfusong or Zhu Jun, and I don't need to do it because of an illusory hope. Pay me the last eight thousand soldiers."

Facing Chang'an, which was about to leave, Lu Bu finally expressed his inner thoughts on the young emperor.But it's a pity, even if these words reach Liu Xie's ears, I'm afraid they will only get a tacit understanding and smile at each other.After all, from a certain level, both of them are strong people, and neither needs the humblest pity.

Lu Bu, who came to the head of Chang'an city, saw the Xiliang cavalry under the city wall like wolves and tigers.They still looked disorganized and terrified, but Lu Bu knew that it was such a hopeless army that was the most frightening when it went crazy.

Under the city wall, the humming horn finally sounded.

On the city wall, Lu Bu raised Fang Tian's painted halberd, and the warning gongs all over the city were loud and wild.

The battle that determined the fate of Chang'an finally broke out amid the furious screams of hundreds of thousands of men!
