Lu's relatives

Chapter 543 The sky is turned upside down, chaotic wars attack ([-])

Cao Ang came here strangely, left in a hurry, and only stayed in Linzi for five days, but the implication behind it was that Qin Xu had to be vigilant.

The current situation is becoming more and more confusing because of the complicated events in Hebei.As for Lu Bujun and Cao Caojun, who also coveted Hebei's "ownerless" land, the reason why Cao Ang came here this time is quite worthy of scrutiny.Although Qin Xu's "cub protection operation" was a complete success this time, Cao Ang's reaction was far beyond Qin Xu's expectations. Next, Qin, who had fooled this matter, seemed to have hit the cotton with his fist.

The key is Cao Ang's attitude.Although under the arrangement of Cao Cao, Cao Ang studied under the late great counselor Xi Zhicai, and later learned government tactics from Xun Yu, his nephew Xun You, and Cheng Yu, but human nature is difficult to change. "Good young man", asking him to imitate those old foxes is not enough after all, and Qin Xu has seen some clues.

But even so, Qin Xu had to admire Cao Ang's courage.Dare to dare to come to Zizi under the name of the eldest son of the Cao family when the relationship between the two families is now on the verge of breaking down. As a last resort, it is absolutely "dare not" to do it lightly.But on the other hand, it allowed Qin Xu to confirm Cao Ang's intentions for coming here. Maybe he really wanted something big, so big that Cao Cao felt that it was worth letting Cao Ang take the risk.

However, this conclusion made Qin Xu even more slanderous. If it was true, wouldn't it mean that Cao Ang's coming to propose marriage for the eldest son was just an excuse?

"My lord, Cao Zixiu has been successfully sent away, but his intention for coming this time... Huh?!" I found that no matter how I interpreted the meaning of Cao Ang's coming here, it seemed that he, Qin, was caught in the middle, Qin Xu, who was an insignificant third person, also came to see Lu Bu with a lawsuit at his head at this moment. When he was about to report his discovery, he found that Lu Bu was in the front hall, playing with a small bronze tripod. On the floor of the hall, there were two small boxes full of gold beads.There is basically no doubt, this must be the "leftover item" that Cao Ang "forgot" to take away when he was leaving.

"Look what this is!" Qin Xu can enter and exit freely in Lu Bu's mansion without a pass.Therefore, when Lu Bu saw Qin Xu coming in, he was not surprised at all, and casually threw the small bronze tripod in his hand to Qin Xu, without raising his head.

"This...?" Thanks to Lu Lingqi, for the past four years, Qin Xu has undergone unshakable physical training for two hours in the morning and evening. Although Qin Xu still looks a little thin, he has made great progress in terms of physique and strength.Regardless of its length, this small tripod is only one foot square, but because it is made of bronze, it probably weighs five or seventy catties, plus the force of this throw, before changing to Qin Xu, I'm afraid it will be overwhelmed immediately. Not available locally.

"Yeah!" Qin Xu's inadvertent hand made Lu Bu's eyes flash with satisfaction, and he said, "This is a gift from Cao Ang, who came to Zizi this time, for Cao Cao."

"Gift?" I suspected that Cao Ang's purpose of coming this time was not just to meet Cai Yong as he said in his mouth, and to propose marriage "by the way". Seeing that Lu Bu seemed to value this small tripod very much, he picked it up and looked at it carefully for a while.This small tripod seems to have been carefully polished by a craftsman, and the whole body glows with a faint green light. There are pictures of mountains and rivers embossed on it. On the front, there are two ancient seal characters engraved, but they occupy almost two-thirds of the size of the tripod wall. Presumably it is the name of this small tripod. Is it possible that this is still an ancient relic?Qin Xu didn't know much about these things, and he hadn't done much research on ancient seal characters. This ghost-like character knew Qin Xu, but someone from Qin didn't know him, so he tried to read a sentence based on his own guess: "This Yuan...Chuan? What do you mean?"

"Pfft..." Qin Xu's words just came out, but Lu Bu, who was drinking with a straight face, couldn't hold back a mouthful, and coughed loudly while rubbing the table.Suddenly startled, more than a dozen servants came in from the servants who were serving in front of the hall. They all looked at Lu Bu who was quite out of his composure and Qin Xu with a strange face in astonishment, at a loss as to what to do.

"My lord's old injury hasn't healed, it's just that I choked on drinking. It's okay, just wait!" It's not easy to make Lu Bu lose his temper. If it makes people laugh, Qin Xu can almost predict the future. It was a dark day, so he hurriedly gave instructions to everyone who looked nervous.

"Oh!" Lu Bu also realized what was wrong with him. He responded, waved his hand and drove the servant out, looked at Qin Xu with increasingly strange eyes and said, "Boy, you said that you have read the different history of the pre-Qin period. You just uttered those words, but I don’t know where you got the insight? How did you understand it?”

"Forgot!" Although he didn't understand why Lu Bu suddenly asked this again, Qin Xu replied casually.Just kidding, it would be strange if the family precepts of the old Zhu family 1000 years later appeared in the ancient books of Laoshizi's pre-Qin period!
"Hmph! You kid, just keep your eyes open and talk nonsense! If you can pronounce the word 'Jizhou' on this tripod as 'Yuanchuan', how dare you say that you have read the ancient books of the pre-Qin period at this level?" Lu Bu's mouth twitched quite a bit, as if Suppressing a smile, he asked Qin Xu.

"Ahem...it's Jizhou! Xu didn't see it clearly just now!" It's fine if others say this kind of words. After all, the official script is popular in the big Han now. Except for some royal ceremonies, this kind of script is basically used. It's almost extinct, and Qin Xu is not ashamed if he doesn't know him, but this man in front of him is a big boss recognized by the world, and he can even laugh at his level of Qin, which makes Qin Xu's old face feel a little hot.Subconsciously, he wanted to argue for a while, but then he remembered that the person in front of him was not only his father-in-law, but disobedience was unfilial, and if he really tore it up, it might not be enough for someone to do it with one hand, so Qin Xu couldn't help it. Not shy and fooling around with some reason, he raised the small cauldron and asked Lü Bu, "Then what does Cao Cao mean by giving this to you, my lord? You can't give this thing casually in Zhou Lizhong. Jizhou! Jizhou? Could it be that Cao Cao has some hidden intentions?"

"It seems that it is not unlearned!" The number one martial artist at the end of the Han Dynasty, the top boss Lu Boss, once again despised Qin Xu, pointed to the small tripod in Qin Xu's hand and said: "In the past, the emperor of Zhou received all the gold from the world. To cast Jiuding, carved mountains and rivers on it, to divide Kyushu and control the luck of Kyushu. After Qin conquered the world, the loss of Jiuding was unknown; This is the origin of the Jizhou tripod."

"Hey! He, Cao Mengde, is really generous. He dared to give away such imperial artifacts. It's a lot to ask for!" Qin Xu had a faint understanding of Cao Cao's intentions.What was originally a simple matter in Hebei, due to various accidents, has evolved into the current situation. Cao Cao, who originally wanted to turn Bingzhou into his own, had to set up Yuan Tan to hide the mouths of the world, and his family retreated behind the scenes. control.But Yuan Tan, as the eldest son of Yuan Shao, is not a person who can settle down, and after the fight between the Lv and Cao families earlier, which benefited Yuan Xiping for nothing, it is estimated that Cao Cao also felt that Yuan Tan was not easy to control.It is estimated that he "remembered" the "covenant" between the two families to divide Hebei equally in the past, so Cao Angming followed the crowd, or he really thought about proposing marriage to the Qin family, in order to express his "sincerity" first. "At the same time, test the reaction of Lu Bu's army.However, this kind of thing is just a tentative intention. With Cao Cao's temperament, he will not do it too obviously, and Qin Xu does not have enough evidence. It is difficult to stand in front of Lu Bu with such a small tripod alone. Forced to guess what Cao Cao meant, so he continued to talk nonsense.

"Say you are ignorant! How dare you pretend to have lived in the different history of the pre-Qin!" Lu Bu continued to despise Qin Xu, saying: "The great tripod of the country is cast using the same method of bells and tripods, six parts of gold and one part of tin, so the body of the tripod The bronze color of the tripod is a little like red gold. If this kind of small tripod is not four-legged, it can only be used for cooking soup. Besides, that Jizhou tripod has seen it before in Luoyang, and it is waiting for a dozen strong men to carry it. It doesn't move, just this little thing, it's just a tool that Cao Mengde used to test someone. If you like it, take this tripod back with these, and learn a lot!"

"My lord is wise! These..." Lu Bu, the co-author, had already seen through the intention of Cao Ang's visit this time, so it was no wonder that when he was at his own mansion, he simply "verbally" returned these things to Cao Ang.But what Qin Xu didn't understand was that since Lv Bu had known Cao Ang's intention for coming, he also used Qin Xu's action of protecting the cub to turn the matter around.However, when Qin Xu met Lu Bu just now, Lu Wenhou, who had always had no "resistance" to Jinzhu, seemed not to care much. Even the small cauldron used by Cao Cao to test Lu Bu's intentions was random. Throwing it back and forth, and being so generous this time, it's not quite right!
"What? You don't know?!" Hearing Qin Xu's questioning tone, Lu Bu gave Qin Xu a strange look and said, "The property here is worth about [-] gold, but it was Cao Ang who gave it to him." The eldest son begs you for the dowry from the Qin family's daughter... but since you have rejected the Cao family, and Cao Zixiu has a bad memory, these gold beads have become ownerless. Since you don't want it, why don't you Did someone handle it for you?"

"Ahem... the lord has worked so hard to govern the three states. You don't have to worry about these little things!"Seeing what Lu Bu meant, if he didn't want it to be "confiscated", wouldn't it mean that the sheep went into the mouth of a tiger?Qin Xu said subconsciously.Then he realized that he seemed to have been tricked by Lu Bu again, and he couldn't help being a little embarrassed...
