The Conqueror Isn’t Alone

Chapter 22 Chapter 22 Lu Bu was summoned by Xiang Yu and entered alone...

When Lu Bu was summoned by Xiang Yu and entered the palace alone, he couldn't help but muttered that he didn't know what kind of problem this overlord had. It was so late at night that he couldn't even light a lamp.

The interior of the large hall was pitch dark. Thanks to Lu Bu's martial arts practice all year round, his hearing and eyesight were far better than ordinary people. It was only because of the inaudible sound of breathing coming from the distance and the faint smell of wine that he could walk all the way. He successfully found Xiang Yu.

Xiang Yu, who had been silent all this time, suddenly made a "pop" sound when Lu Bu was only two steps away and lit the long candle in front of him with a fire stick.

——Damn this stupid overlord, he doesn’t order it sooner or later, but he only orders it when he’s in front of him!

Just now he was groping in the darkness with concentration, but the next moment his eyes were stung by the sudden light. Lu Bu suppressed the annoyance of being startled and narrowed his eyes slightly while adapting to the sudden light. Under the candlelight, Xiang Yu looked at the inexplicable expression generously.

Xiang Yu lowered his eyebrows and remained taciturn, but it was not difficult for Lu Bu to tell from his slightly messy robes and the lingering smell of alcohol that he seemed to be missing his usual aura. Angry and powerful, it adds a bit of decadence.

This was the first time in his entire life that he had seen such a proud and conceited person as Xiang Yu, who even had to bear the aristocratic manners when he was in trouble.

He couldn't help but click his tongue in his heart.

A fool is a fool. If it were him, who would have done it for him except those damn traitors like Wei Xuhoucheng, how could he behave like this?

He would be so happy that he might even light a sky lantern for those little beasts to celebrate.

"sit down."

Xiang Yu said hoarsely, without raising his eyes to look at Lu Bu, but pushed the half jar of wine in front of him toward him, and said concisely: "Use."

Lu Bu thought to himself, what kind of good luck did he have tonight? Why did Fan Zeng in front of him and Xiang Yu behind him invite him to drink?

Lu Bu didn't bother to think about it. Although the half of the jar that Xiang Yu pushed over was the leftovers from the other party's drink, he was a connoisseur of wine and could easily smell the long and mellow aroma of the wine, which was definitely not comparable to the jar that Fan Zeng had given him.

They were all big men, and he didn't have the complicated etiquette like Xiang Yu, a noble boy, so he immediately took it and started drinking.

Unexpectedly, he had just finished half the bottle of wine, and as he casually wiped his mouth, he felt that the candlelight in front of him was flickering, and it was burning from his mouth and tongue to his throat and all the way to his belly, like a rolling fire.

He was known to drink a lot, but he was already tipsy after drinking half a jar.

He was really shocked now, his eyes widened, he picked up the empty jar again, and couldn't help but look at it carefully: "Good wine!"

Xiang Yu glanced at him wordlessly, and then glanced at the four or five empty altars behind him from the corner of his eye. Not wanting to expose Lu Bu's intoxicating attitude, he just said in a dull voice, "Can you drink again?"

Lu Bu had no idea that his proud drinking capacity had been reduced along with the inexplicable "rejuvenation", and now he was just a smelly wine basket.

His eyes lit up when he heard this, and he responded crisply: "Drink!"

For the sake of this long-lost wine, even the erratic Xiang Yu seemed a bit likeable.

Xiang Yu looked at Lu Bu without blinking.

The surging restlessness in his chest surprisingly calmed down.

Ever since Ya's father collected all the evidence of his uncle's crime and presented it to him, he had been staring at the heavy gold and jewelry stupidly. He didn't want to see anyone, and he didn't want to listen to anyone. He didn't eat a grain of rice all day long. The dripping water is not used.

It wasn't until nightfall that he called for wine. After drinking alone for a while, he was filled with misery and had no way to vent his misery, and he unexpectedly sent a message to Lu Bu.

——He may also be drunk.

Xiang Yu thought, otherwise why would he call Lu Fengxian, who behaves just like he did when he was young, to have a drink with him?

What was even more puzzling to him was that just by looking at Lu Bu's simple appearance of being easily pleased, he could calm down a bit, and even poured the wine for him himself.

At this moment, Lu Bu, who was already half drunk, had unknowingly shown his original aura as a marquis, and he didn't realize there was anything wrong in serving King Xiang so condescendingly.

He squinted his eyes intoxicated, enjoying the waves of alcohol, and rubbed his hands excitedly, waiting for Xiang Yu to push the full wine bottle over.

After a few sips of the cow, he finally felt a burning sensation in his stomach, and he asked more and more: "Drinking alone is boring. Can your Majesty call for some food to go with the wine?"

Xiang Yu glanced at Lu Bu and said calmly: "Yes."

King Xiang had not eaten for a whole day and had already worried the guards outside. However, King Xiang had a violent temper and was in an extremely bad mood due to Zuo Yin's betrayal. Even though he had always been kind and compassionate to his subordinates, no one dared to persuade him. .

Who would have thought that Lu Fengxian had just been called in and had not stayed there for more than a cup of tea before he had successfully persuaded the king to eat some food after he had been bored all day?

When they were happy, they hurriedly called on the cook to make more dishes to go with the wine, and at the same time they expressed even more admiration for Lu Fengxian, who was extremely capable.

The delicacies presented to Bawang are extraordinary in terms of their sophistication and portion size.

Lu Bu confidently took advantage of Xiang Yu's favor, picked up his chopsticks, and began to eat happily.

But Xiang Yuyuan just watched him use it. Seeing him wolfing down the food with a look of enjoyment on his face, he was aroused inadvertently and started to eat involuntarily.

After all, Lu Bu had eaten dinner. Although the taste was not satisfactory, he was full after all. I only cleared a few dishes, then burped and continued drinking.

However, Xiang Yu had many worries and decided to

I had been hungry all day, and now that I had whetted my appetite, I ate up all the food on the table without even realizing it.

While Xiang Yu was eating the food, Lu Bu downed a whole jar of wine.

This wine is already powerful, and what's more, he overestimates his own drinking capacity and drinks without restraint?

He half-opened his eyes and stared straight at Xiang Yu's profile, which was as deep and cold as a stone sculpture. When Xiang Yu noticed his gaze and looked over in confusion, he still refused to avoid it and even said "poof" He burst out laughing, pointed at Xiang Yu and said with a smile: "Hahahaha! How can a good student with double pupils become a heavy student!"

In the eyes of Lu Bu, who was already eighty percent drunk, Xiang Yu's eyes, which were supposed to have one eye and two eyes, turned out to be four eyes. Isn't it extremely interesting?

Xiang Yu's mouth twitched slightly.

It was rare for him to be good-natured and let Lu Bu point at him rudely, instead of arguing with the drunkard's arrogance.

Moreover, since his appetite had whetted his appetite and he was seven-tenths full after eating, his mood had improved a lot. Looking at Lu Bu, the hero, he liked him as much as he liked.

However, the evidence of Xiang Bo's crime is conclusive. How should the rebels be punished? How should Xiang Bo be executed?

That is, certain death.

After all, Xiang Bo had been collaborating with the rebels for a long time and had done a lot of damage. Even if he had a layer of blood connection, he couldn't tolerate it.

"well!"

Xiang Yu was about to send his personal guards to take Lu Bu back to his residence and take a bath himself. When he went to his father's place, he suddenly heard Lu Bu, who had collapsed limply to the ground at some point, let out a long sigh.

Xiang Yu stared at him expressionlessly for a while, unable to suppress his interest in inquiring, he couldn't help but move closer, looked down at the drunk Lu Bu, and asked in a low voice: "What is Feng Xian worried about?"

"This prince, this prince..."

Lu Bu's throat rolled, and he let out a few "wuwu" sounds with a thick nasal sound. His consciousness was clearly hazy, but he was still muttering something stubbornly.

Because he was lying down and Xiang Yu was standing, and Xiang Yu was very tall, he was too far away and could not hear clearly at this time.

Stupid monkey?

Where did the monkey come from?

Driven by this whim, Xiang Yu simply leaned forward, trying to catch his ear.

Unexpectedly, Lu Bu, who had just been muttering in a low voice, suddenly frowned and shouted unexpectedly, like a thunderstorm exploding: "——I will kill you Liu Bie grandson!!!"

This roar was full of energy and resounded throughout the palace, echoing several times before it stopped.

Xiang Yu: "..."

Xiang Yu, whose ears were stunned by the explosion and covered in embarrassment, completely returned to his usual cold expression.

He raised his right foot slightly, stepped on a corner of the drunken Lu Bu's clothes indifferently, and crushed it hard as revenge.

But what Xiang Yu never dreamed of was that even his clothes were actually far better than those of Lu Bu, who liked to crawl around on the eaves and sit around, roll around for convenience, and was not particular at all. clean.

Xiang Yu, who still didn't know that his shoes were dirty, walked out of the palace with satisfaction after taking this small revenge, and ordered the guards to get water for him to bathe and change clothes, and then ordered people to send Lu Bu back properly.

At the end, Xiang Yu couldn't help but add: "...send some new clothes and new armor of the general style to Fengxian. The specific weapons to be made will be decided by Fengxian after he sobers up." "

The guard was slightly startled and subconsciously looked at the drunken Lu Bu.

Although King Xiang has not yet made it clear which group of soldiers and horses he will lead, the presence of this sentence clearly shows that Lu Bu, as a general, is determined not to escape.

And how could it be possible that the honor was given by King Xiang himself and arranged later?

"May I ask your Majesty, where is General Lu's residence..."

Now that Lu Bu has become the general of the Jin Dynasty, the doctor's bunk is no longer suitable.

Xiang Yu pondered for a moment and made a decision: "Qinchuan Palace."

The guards responded, and the four of them lifted Lu Bu, who was sleeping sprawled out, and were about to leave.

"Wait a minute." Xiang Yu stopped them again: "I will give you all the gold pearls in the palace."

Those rare treasures that were enough to lure Xiang Bo to betray the Chu army only made him look at it extremely annoying.

Since he was the traitor designed and brought out by Lu Bu, it is only natural that he should be rewarded to Lu Bu.

——When Lu Bu woke up, he felt a splitting headache and aches all over his body.

He stared blankly at the fancy curtains for a while, his eyes rolled to the side, seeing the gorgeous and exquisite furnishings, he almost suspected that he was still dreaming.

He only remembered that he went drinking with that stupid overlord last night. When he woke up, how did he come here?

After he woke up a little, he sat up and touched himself.

As a result, I didn't "touch" the dirty doctor's clothes that had not been washed for two days, but I found a new set of clothes with fine workmanship and a very different style.

Looking up again, there were dazzling piles of gold and pours of pearls neatly placed beside it.

Lu Bu stared blankly at the pile of rewards for a while, filled with doubts in his heart.

For no reason, Xiang Yu treated him so generously...

An idea flashed in his mind, and Lu Bu's heart suddenly thumped.

——Could it be that he was drunk and muddle-headedly recognized Xiang Yu as his new adoptive father?

As soon as this idea came up, Lu Bu was so frightened that he completely woke up from alcohol.

Although the more he thought about it, the more he realized this, but he still only had doubts.

It was not easy to ask the guards about this matter. He thought about it and went to his wise man, Han Xin, to discuss it.

However, when he was led by the guards and looked for Han Xin everywhere, for some reason he could not find him anywhere.

Lu Bu didn't think much about it at first. After all, the halberd-wielding doctor had always been a leisure worker who could wander around. It must be that Han Xin wandered off somewhere to hide his laziness.

Until he stopped by the barracks where his original bunk was located, he was surprised to see that the bunk next to Han Xin's was almost empty and extremely clean.

When he flipped through it again, he saw that Sun Wu's Book of War, which he usually regarded as a treasure, was also missing.

Lu Bu thought indifferently for a while, and as if he was struck by thunder, he roared: "Take me to the stable quickly!"

——He couldn't see at the moment that his cheap brother packed up his belongings and ran away overnight!
