Chapter 17 Lu Bu broke his promise
Liu Bei was still terrified at Xiaopei, while Lu Bu just woke up from a hangover.

Yan Shi fetched water for her to wash her face, and Lu Bu asked after regaining consciousness, "Where did Lingqi go?"

"Where else can I go? I went to the school to practice martial arts." Yan replied.

Lu Bu dried his hands and continued, "Lingqi has never liked female celebrities since she was a child. From tomorrow onwards, you will keep her at home and teach her how to take care of her husband and children. This is not a big deal."

"You don't know how young you are? Lingqi is almost seventeen this year, and the general usually indulges her in martial arts, but now that she is about to get married, you are only worried." Yan complained.

"What's wrong with my Lu Bu's daughter practicing martial arts? No, how do you know that Lingqi is going to marry?" Lu Bu asked in bewilderment.

Mrs. Yan shook her head and smiled, "It's spread all over Xiapi now, we're going to marry Yuan Shu in Huainan, and Yuan Yao is the eldest son, so it's not bad to marry Lingqi."

Lu Bu also said to keep the news under wraps for a while, and wait for Yuan Shu to deliver the dowry (food and grass) before announcing it. I didn't expect those guys to be so loose with their mouths.

At noon, Chen Deng and his sons in Xiapi invited Lv Bu to the mansion for a banquet.

When sleepiness came, someone sent a pillow, and Lu Bu happily accepted it. After taking Xuzhou, he was worried that he would not be able to stand on his feet.

First of all, there have been wars between Qing and Xu for many years, and the Yellow Turban bandits have rebelled. Tao Qian, Cao Cao, and Liu Bei have exploited the grain and rice of the people, and now the supply of their own army is unsustainable; Taking refuge in Liu Bei, if you want to get the support of the local wealthy family, you can only count on the Chen family in Xiapi.

Lu Bu is now worrying that there is no reason to approach the Chen family. He now claims that Xuzhou Mu doesn't know the other party's reaction, so he doesn't take the initiative to make friends.

The Chen family's father and son warmly entertained them, and they kept praising Lu Bu's bravery at the banquet, and they didn't make any excessive demands. The so-called bridal sedan chairs are carried by everyone, as long as they are willing to say good things, no one will like them. This made Lu Bu feel good about them.

Lü Bu was so drunk that he was sent back to the mansion by the accompanying guards.

"Father, from your point of view, are you sure?" Chen Deng asked Chen Gui after sending Lu Bu away.

Chen Gui stroked his beard, his eyes were sharp and deep, "Lu Bu Pif, but this matter has to be figured out slowly, in short, make good friends with him first."

Xuzhou frequently changes masters, and the Chen family, which manages the Xu and Yang families, will not easily stand in line like Mi Zhu for the future and destiny of the entire family.

The rumors in the city in the morning made the father and son unable to sit still. If Yuan Shu and Lu Bu got married, the Chen family would become a fish on the case in an instant when he went to Pi.

In the next few days, Chen Deng and Chen Gui took turns to invite Lu Bu to drink, and also gave some food and rice to relieve the urgent need. The behavior of the father and son made Lu Bu very proud.

At the beginning of August, Yuan Shu ordered Han Yin to send the prepared food and supplies to Xiapi.

When Han Yin came back, Lu Lingqi was so angry that she bid farewell to the Yan family and came to Gaoshun camp to sulk.

Gao Shun persuaded: "Although Mr. Ziyu has never seen Mr. Ziyu use schemes, it is related to the happiness of Miss and himself. I think there will always be a result. Why don't we wait a little longer?"

"What are you waiting for? I have been waiting for more than 20 days. How can anyone come to help? Now that Han Yin has brought a lot of betrothal gifts, my father is so happy that he almost jumped up today. The guy in Lantian is afraid that I will look like a willow. I married someone else early," Lu Lingqi complained, stomping her feet.

"Miss, you go back first, so as not to be suspicious, I'll go and inquire about the situation."

Gao Shun felt that Lu Bu hadn't made a statement yet, so he could get a word from Han Yin.

After arriving at the Xiapi post office, the post officer told him that the master Chen Gong had come to see Han Yin before him. Gao Shun wondered: Why did Mr. Gongtai come here?

Gao Shun asked the post officer to keep quiet, so he walked in quietly by himself, and came to Han Yin's door to listen closely, but Chen Gong actually stated to the other party that he wanted to facilitate the marriage as soon as possible.

Gao Shun was shocked and left quietly, and asked the postman not to tell anyone that he had been here.

Although the post house is a reception place, it is under the control of the army. Gao Shun is a general under Lu Bu, and his words are more effective here than Chen Gong.

Chen Gong hated Cao thief deeply, and Yuan Shu was at odds with Cao thief. Thinking of this, Gao Shun understood why Chen Gong would promote Lu Yuan's marriage.

Now that Yuan Shu's envoy came back, it was too late for Gao Shun to ask Lan Tian for advice. In desperation, he could only spread the new news in the city, hoping that the helper Lan Tian said would appear.

After leaving the post house, Chen Gong went straight back to the government office to speak to Lu Bu, explaining in detail the benefits of marrying Yuan Shu, and suggested that Lu Lingqi be sent to Shouchun immediately.

Lv Bu had never seen Chen Gong so anxious, but since he had accepted Yuan Shu's betrothal gift, early marriage and late marriage are still married, so he called Gao Shun and said: "You and Lingqi are both teachers and friends, and I want to send her off tomorrow. Go to Shouchun to get married, and order you to escort the general who will be married, go and prepare."

Gao Shun was stunned for a moment, then cupped his fists and said, "Wei."

Walking on the road, Gao Shun's feet are always floating. Could it be that this matter is really irreversible?Just after leaving the house, I ran into the old guy Chen Gui again.

It is often said that the Chen family father and son love to flatter horses, Gao Shun despises this kind of behavior, he snorts coldly and brushes past them.

Gao Shun was upset, but he still carried out Lü Bu's orders.

In the early morning of the next day, Gao Shun led the soldiers and horses of his troops, prepared the red guard of honor and the carriage, and waited neatly outside the government office. At this time, Chen Gong also came to see Han Yin off.

When the time was auspicious, when Lu Bu sent his daughter out, Chen Gong said awkwardly to Han Yin, "My lord was very drunk last night, maybe it was a late hour. You are here later, and I will come as soon as I go."

After Chen Gong finished speaking, he lifted the hem of his clothes and trotted all the way into the mansion.

Lu Bu was indeed hungover at this time, Chen Gong came to the back hall anxiously, met Yan and asked, "Ma'am, where is the lord?"

"The general was very drunk last night, and he is still resting on the couch." Yan replied.

"Oh, it's a mistake. I've been waiting for a long time outside the door to see off the relatives, please go and wake up the lord." Chen Gong said anxiously.

After Yan Shi answered, he pushed the door open and entered the room, waking up Lu Bu who was sleeping soundly, "The general is going to send Lingqi to get married today? I'm afraid it's too late now."

"Get married today? No, no," Lu Bu said with drunken eyes and lay back down.

Chen Gong heard the conversation outside the room, so he knocked on the door anxiously, Lv Bu shouted angrily, "Who is outside the room disturbing my sleep?"

At this time, Chen Gong pushed the door in, bowed and said, "My lord, Han Yin and General Gao have been waiting outside the gate for a long time."

"Where are they waiting for?" Lu Bu looked puzzled.

"Didn't my lord say yesterday that at today's time, I will send Miss Lingqi to Shouchun to get married?" Chen Gong said in amazement.

"Is this really the case? Could it be that I was talking nonsense after drinking?" Lu Bu asked with a confused face.

"Yesterday you sent General Gao Shun to marry you. How much did my lord drink last night? How did you forget about such a big event?" Chen Gong was heartbroken, thinking that you are so greedy for drinking, why do you plan for big things?
Lu Bu scratched his head and said, "Gongtai said so, I seem to think of something, but my daughter of Lu Bu is married as a wife, how can there be such a rush? Three books and six appointments are indispensable. Let Han Yin prepare first. "

Chen Gong stayed where he was for an instant, why did my lord, a martial artist, suddenly behave so politely?
