Can I get to the other side?.

Chapter 140 Bu was furious! How can a tiger girl marry a dog boy? Get out of here!

While Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan were fighting fiercely in Yicheng, Lu Bu was hosting a banquet for his guests at the Ru'nan County Governor's Mansion.

Today is the auspicious day when his daughter enters the palace.

"Everyone, don't go home until you are drunk today!"

Lu Bu raised a bowl of wine and spoke to the guests present.

The joy on his face could not be concealed at all.

"Mr. Wen, congratulations!"

"Before entering the palace, she was canonized as a noble lady, and her status is second only to the queen!"

"If you ask me, Empress Fu is now in the fake imperial palace in Xu County. Why doesn't Your Majesty depose her and appoint a new one?"

"Don't say that casually, be careful with your words, be careful with your words!"

All the guests, especially the military generals, were happy for Lu Bu.

They also felt the emperor's favor towards their general and felt honored.

There was even a burly man who was muttering about deposing the queen.

Although Lu Bu was happy when he heard this, he still scolded him for the sake of the emperor's reputation.

Chen Gong, who was sitting below Lu Bu, offered Lu Bu a bowl of wine, smiled bitterly and shook his head.

"General, you have kept it a secret from me for a long time. You have never told me about such a major event as the enthronement of a noble."

Chen Gong felt that he needed to have a new understanding of Lu Bu.

He was able to keep such a big thing as his daughter's entry into the palace to himself.

This was completely different from his previous impression of Lu Bu.

Lu Bu laughed, drank the wine in the bowl, and said proudly: "What's the point of a noble? If this general says..."

"Cough cough cough!!"

When Lu Bu was halfway through his words, Liu Bei, who was sitting on the other side of him, started coughing continuously, forcibly interrupting him.

"Xuan De, why are you coughing so badly?"

Lu Bu was confused and asked Liu Bei with concern.

"Nothing. I just caught a cold because I rushed here yesterday."

As Liu Bei spoke, he secretly winked at Lu Bu.

However, after a long time, Lu Bu didn't understand what he meant. He just stared at him blankly, thinking that his eyes were uncomfortable from coughing.

However, Chen Gong noticed this scene and immediately understood what was going on.

No wonder Lu Bu was able to keep his thoughts hidden for so long.

No wonder some people were clamoring to depose the queen. Instead of agreeing, he scolded them!

Combined with the fact that he was interrupted by Liu Bei in the middle of his words.

Chen Gong already had some guesses in his mind that the nobleman might not be the end of Lu Lingqi.

I felt surprised and happy.

"General, it's time to drink on such a happy occasion!"

Chen Gong took the initiative to reveal what Lu Bu had not yet finished saying, his eyes filled with joy.

If it was as he guessed...

"Yes, it's time to drink!"

Liu Bei glanced at Chen Gong and happened to meet Chen Gong's gaze.

The two of them tacitly agreed not to say anything else and just toasted Lu Bu with wine.

"Drink! Today, I will make you all drink till you are all down!"

Lu Bu said this with great pride, completely unaware that Liu Bei and Chen Gong had already reached a tacit understanding in secret.

Halfway through the banquet, a guard hurried in.

"General, the envoy sent by Sun Ce is outside the palace asking for an audience."

"Sun Ce's messenger?" Lu Bu put down his bowl and chopsticks, frowned and looked at Chen Gong, "Gongtai, Sun Ce sent an envoy to our door at this time, what is his purpose?"

Chen Gong stroked his beard and pondered for a moment, then said, "Maybe he came here to make friends with the general."

Hearing this, Lu Bu slammed his palm on the table and said angrily, "Sun Ce is ambitious and I will capture him alive and present him to Your Majesty sooner or later. How dare he befriend me?"

In his heart, Sun Ce was a rebel, and he was a loyal minister of the Han Dynasty.

There is a natural contradiction between the two.

If this thief is not eliminated, he will become a disaster for his grandson in the future!
If it weren't for the emperor's instructions and Chen Gong's constant reminders, he would have led his troops to attack Jiangdong by now.

"Kick the messenger out!" Lu Bu gave the order coldly.

The guard who reported the incident received the order and was about to go down, but was stopped by Chen Gong.

"General, why not listen to what the messenger has to say? What exactly does Sun Ce want?"

Lu Bu didn't want to offend Chen Gong, so he waved his hand impatiently and said, "Just bring him here."

Soon, Sun Ce's envoy was brought to the banquet.

"I met Marquis Wen."

The envoy's etiquette was very good.

However, as soon as he opened his mouth, Zhang Liao became furious.

"My general captured Yuan Shu and made great contributions. The emperor personally conferred him the title of Duke of Wen County, and you actually called yourself Marquis Wen!"

General Gao Shun and others under Lu Bu all glared at the envoy.

What does it mean to call yourself Wen Hou? Are you coming here to provoke me?
Seeing this, the messenger secretly thought that it was not good, and quickly changed his words: "It was a slip of the tongue, I hope Lord Wen will forgive me."

The title of Duke Wen of Lu Bu was conferred by an emperor whose authenticity is unknown, and his authority remains to be examined.

Therefore, apart from the princes close to Yuan Shao, not many people truly recognized him.

"Humph!"

Zhang Liao snorted coldly and retreated behind Lu Bu.

Lu Bu glanced at Sun Ce's envoy, and slowly cut off a piece of mutton and put it into his mouth. After chewing a few mouthfuls and swallowing it, he slowly said:

"Sun Ce ordered you to go on a mission, what is the purpose?"

The messenger said respectfully: "My master heard that Lord Wen has a daughter who is still waiting to be married, and he wants to marry Lord Wen."

As soon as the words fell, the entire county governor's mansion fell silent.

The guests at the banquet all looked at the messenger with teasing eyes, waiting for Lu Bu's thundering rage.

Sure enough, Lu Bu slammed the table and stood up, glaring at Sun Ce's messenger.

"How can a tiger girl marry a dog boy?"

"Someone, get the fork out!"

Before the messenger could react, he was speared out by several guards.

He fought back vigorously, shouting, "Lord Wen, my master came here with good intentions, why are you doing this? Why don't you let me say a few more words?"

Lu Bu cursed loudly: "Sun Jian has secretly kept the imperial seal, which shows that he has long been a traitor. The traitor Yuan has even usurped the throne and proclaimed himself emperor! Sun Ce, the little boy, is Sun Jian's son and Yuan's adopted son. How can he live in this world with dignity? He is unwilling to die to apologize for his crime, and he is also unwilling to obey the emperor's edict. It is clear that his wolfish ambitions are exposed. This general has nothing to say to you, the traitor's envoy!"

The messenger suddenly became anxious. Sun Ce and Zhou Yu had given him many instructions before he came, and he also knew the importance of this trip.

But Lu Bu doesn't play by the rules!

As soon as he expressed his intention, he was kicked out.

They even labeled Sun Ce a traitor!

After the messenger was forked out, a burst of curses broke out at the scene.

"Sun Ce, you little brat, actually dreamed of marrying Lord Wen's daughter. You really don't know how high the heaven is or how deep the earth is!"

"The traitors who do not respect the emperor have already received their death. Sooner or later, Jiangdong will be wiped out."

"Humph! You are just a dead bone in a tomb, yet you dare to have such foolish dreams!"

"These two families... ahem, this traitor has a good plan. How could he have known that our general's daughter wanted to enter the palace and become a noble lady."

Lu Bu sat down angrily and took a few gulps of wine.

Who is his daughter?
His daughter is the future queen!
Sun Ce sending an envoy to ask for marriage was a humiliation to him. "Gongtai, when will you send troops to conquer Jiangdong?"

Chen Gong thought for a while before replying, "Sun Ce is powerful and should not be underestimated. Before we completely digest and take over the five counties of Yangzhou, we should not start a war."

"General, you only need to recuperate for two years, and during this time, you should strengthen your military preparations. After two years, you will be able to conquer Jiangdong."

Upon hearing that he would have to rest for two years, Lu Bu instantly became listless.

I no longer had the mood to eat.

Liu Bei took advantage of this opportunity to pull him to the study in the county magistrate's mansion to talk alone.

"Fengxian, I have good news for you. Why don't you take a guess?"

In the study of the county magistrate's mansion, Liu Bei had a smile on his face and rarely kept Lu Bu in suspense.

Lu Bu blinked his eyes. There was no clue at all. How could he guess?
He asked tentatively: "Liu Biao replied to your letter and is willing to give Jingzhou to you?"

When Liu Bei heard this, the smile on his face froze.

Some time ago, he wrote a letter to Liu Biao, trying to test Liu Biao's tone and attitude.

As expected, Liu Biao ignored him completely.

If he really dared to go to Jingzhou to take up the post, he would probably have his brains beaten out by Liu Biao.

"Mi Zhu came back from Yecheng the day before yesterday and brought news from His Majesty."

"According to the news, Zhen has decided to secretly serve Your Majesty."

"With the financial resources of the Zhen family, we can get the money and food, and even the weapons and armor that Fengxian needs."

Hearing this, Lu Bu suddenly stood up and grabbed Liu Bei's hands tightly.

"Really? Xuande, please don't lie to me!"

His voice trembled a little when he spoke.

Since Dong Zhuo's death, he has been short of silver and food for so many years, wishing he could split every gold into two. He has never fought any profitable battles.

A tall and strong man, known as the unrivaled warrior in the world, could only scratch his head in panic when faced with money and food, and was completely at a loss as to what to do.

Now that he knew that Zhen had pledged her allegiance to the emperor and would secretly support him with money, food, and even weapons and armor, he was so excited that he almost cried.

"This is what Guo Fengxiao said to Mi Zhu himself. How could I lie to you?" Liu Bei pulled his hand back with force, and his bones were almost broken.

"Okay, okay! It seems that there is no need to rest for two years. When next spring comes, I will capture Sun Ce's son and ask him how a defeated dog dares to come to ask for marriage!"

Lu Bu was very excited.

It seemed as if he had already seen the day when he would sweep away Sun Ce.

However, the next piece of news Liu Bei received did not make him excited.

"Fengxian, there is one more thing." Liu Bei's eyes were filled with sorrow, and he sighed and said, "The thief Yuan has been attacking Gongsun Zan for a long time but has failed. I have ordered someone to bring Your Majesty to the front line to boost the morale of the soldiers."

"Now, if we count the days, Your Majesty should have arrived at the Youzhou battlefield."

"What! How dare Yuan the thief do this!" Lu Bu was instantly furious. Like an angry lion, he smashed the table in front of him to pieces.

He was panting heavily, and a terrifying murderous aura emanated from him. His eyes were extremely fierce, as if he wanted to devour anyone he wanted.

Holding the Fang Tian Hua Ji, he walked out.

"Fengxian, what are you going to do?"

When Liu Bei saw the angry Lu Bu holding up the Fang Tian Hua Ji, his eyelids suddenly twitched.

"What? Of course, we're going to Youzhou and killing that villain Yuan Shao!"

Lu Bu's voice was cold and murderous.

"No!"

Liu Bei was shocked and quickly stopped Lu Bu.

"Why not? I won't lead the army, and I will go to Youzhou alone, which will not hinder the overall situation. When I meet the thief Yuan, I will cut him into pieces. Who can stop me?"

Lu Bu was really angry.

What would he do if something went wrong with the emperor? Who could still make him a general?
What about his daughter's throne as queen?
Where would his grandson, who was going to be the crown prince, be born?
"Fengxian, calm down! Although the battlefield is dangerous, Yuan Shao will never let Your Majesty encounter any danger, otherwise his reputation will be ruined!"

"If you rashly go to Youzhou, let alone whether Sun Ce will attack. Even if you kill Yuan Shao, what will happen? Will Your Majesty be able to escape from this predicament?"

"Your Majesty cannot escape, and you will even be buried with Yuan Shao! This is not worth it. If you die, who will help Your Majesty to fight against the rebels in the future?"

Liu Bei tried to persuade him while trying to stop Lu Bu.

But he could neither convince Lu Bu nor stop him.

All he could do was shout loudly: "Yunchang, Yide, Wenyuan, Boping, Gongtai, come here quickly!"

As Liu Bei shouted loudly, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Zhang Liao, Gao Shun and Chen Gong, who were having a meal in the front hall, all hurried over.

"Fengxian is going to Youzhou alone to kill the thief Yuan, hurry up..."

Before Liu Bei could finish his words, he saw Zhang Fei's eyes light up.

"I want to go too!"

Guan Yu stroked his long beard gently, his slightly narrowed eyes shining with brilliance.

"I am willing to go too, to help Lord Wen kill the bandits."

Zhang Liao and Gao Shun also had eager expressions on their faces.

Upon hearing this, Liu Bei quickly glared at his two sworn brothers.

Aren't you here to cause trouble?
In the end, it took Chen Gong's persuasion to finally convince Lu Bu to stop.

……

Lujiang County Governor's Office.

After listening to the messenger's report, Sun Ce's eyes instantly became bloodshot.

“Waaaaaaaa——!”

"It's too much to bully others, it's too much to bully others!"

"How dare he, a slave of three surnames, humiliate me like this!"

Zhou Yu looked at the mad Sun Ce with an ugly expression.

The reason why he looked unhappy was not because Lu Bu refused to make friends with him, but because of Sun Ce's reputation.

My biological father Sun Jian did indeed secretly keep the imperial seal.

My adoptive father Yuan Shu was indeed a traitor who plotted treason.

Although Sun Ce listened to his advice, he severed ties with Yuan Shu as soon as Yuan Shu proclaimed himself emperor.

But it is also true that they did not obey the emperor's edict.

Although they could fool everyone by saying they didn't know whether the emperor was real or not, the problem was that he didn't take the orders from either emperor seriously!
It can't be that both emperors are fake, right?

"Is Lu Bu holding a banquet to celebrate his daughter's canonization as a noble lady and her entry into the palace to serve the emperor?"

Zhou Yu ignored the frantic Sun Ce and looked at the messenger who came back to report.

"That's right." The messenger nodded.

Zhou Yu suddenly realized what was going on. He waved his hand to let the messenger leave and said to Sun Ce:
"Bofu, Lü Bu has a terrible reputation, but now he can become a loyal minister of the Han Dynasty. Why can't you?"

Sun Ce frowned, very puzzled.

Zhou Yu continued, "Lü Bu made contributions in the campaign against Yuan Shu, but don't you, Bofu, have any contributions? He was given the title of General of the Cavalry and Duke of Wen, but you received no reward at all. Do you know why?"

"Why?"

"Because you didn't show your loyalty to the emperor."

"The emperor is nothing more than a puppet of Yuan Shao. Why should I show my loyalty to him?"

Zhou Yu shook his head and said, "That's wrong! On the surface, you are showing your loyalty to the emperor, but in fact, you are trying to show goodwill to Yuan Shao, indicating that you recognize the emperor in Yecheng."

"If you show your loyalty to the emperor, the three previous stains will not bother you, just like Lu Bu today."

Sun Ce thought about it and felt that what Zhou Yu said was not unreasonable, so he asked, "But where can I find a rebel who usurps the throne and presents the imperial seal to the emperor?"

Zhou Yu waved his feather fan lightly, smiled slightly, and said, "In order to maintain his status as a loyal minister of the Han Dynasty, Yuan Shao first married the daughter of the Zhen family to the emperor, and then married the two Qiao sisters from Jiangbei to him."

"In order to show that he was a loyal subject, Lu Bu sent his daughter to the palace to serve the emperor."

"Bo Fu is not as good as..."
