Chapter 32 Chapter 4 Dong Zhuo's Solo Court Cao Cao Recruits Soldiers (7)

The dog in the yard was still barking at him, but it was on a leash and there was no danger. After a while, the servant came out again and led Cao Cao in.Cao Cao temporarily tied the horse to a tree, and then followed the people into the living room. The living room was already lit, Cao Cao went in, only to see that there were people sitting on several chairs, counting them, there were actually five, the oldest was only in his thirties, and the youngest was in his twenties.When Cao Cao entered, the five men stood up and greeted him with courtesy. Cao Cao also bowed his hand and returned the salute, and then he was accused of sitting down in an empty seat.

After sitting down, the man in his thirties said: "My father is not at home. He went to Nanzhen three days ago." Only then did Cao Cao know that all the people present were the sons of Lu Boshe.He has never interacted with them, so they are not familiar with each other, and of course they can't talk about understanding.Even Lu Boshe, he only met twice because of his father.He called him Lu Bo, and because he was a friend with his father, he called him uncle.Those two times were Lu Bo's business trips to Luoyang, and each time he stayed at Cao Song's residence for a while.Because Cao Cao was busy with official duties, he didn't have much contact with Lu Bo, and he was not interested at the time.He felt that all his father's friends were people without deep thinking, because people were divided into groups.Therefore, he didn't know much about Lu Boshe, but in his impression, Lu Boshe was quite a kind person.It is precisely because of this that he came to look for Lu Bo when he passed by Chenggao because of difficulties this time.

Unfortunately, Uncle Lu is not here, and he has never had any contact with the five brothers of the Lu family.But since he came, he had no choice but to bite the bullet, and said: "My lord has a very close friendship with my father. I have often heard my father talk about Lu Bo, and he praised Lu Bo for having five smart and capable sons. Today The first time I saw it, it really lived up to my reputation. Lu Bo has come to Beijing twice, and I have met each other. I don’t want to visit him this time, but I have no luck to meet him. But meeting your brother is another blessing.” Boss Lu immediately said, "I don't know what you can do with Brother Cao's visit this time? Even if my father is not around, I will do my best..."

The other four brothers also agreed.For some reason, Cao Cao always felt that they had a sense of vanity and entertainment, and he was a little displeased.But he didn't know them well after all, not to mention that to them, he could be said to be an uninvited guest, coming so suddenly, how could he have a noncommittal tone? Cao Cao then said, "I'm just passing by on an urgent matter. If I bother you, I only ask for two things..." Boss Lu said, "Please tell me." Cao Cao said: "First, my father left for Jingdong a few days ago, so he must pass by. I think my father has friends with Lu Bo, so he may come here to stay. I wonder if I have seen him?"

Boss Lu shook his head and said: "I'm very sorry, I really haven't seen your lord, and I haven't even heard my father mention it. I wonder if your lord was in a hurry and didn't have time to visit the house?" Cao Cao nodded and said, "It's fine if you haven't been here, maybe they took another road and didn't pass here." Boss Lu asked again, "Then what's the second thing?" Cao Cao smiled apologetically and said, "Because I was in a hurry and missed the inn, so I came here to ask for a meal to quench my hunger and thirst...Thank you in advance."

Boss Lu said: "What's the point of thanking me for such a trivial matter? Brother Cao, why didn't you say it earlier?" Because of his escape, Cao Cao was very vigilant and refused to drink, so he only ate a few large bowls of rice. However, Brother Lu's overzealous act of persuading him to drink made Cao Cao feel a little puzzled.Reminiscent of the reluctance and indifference of the initial hypocrisy and entertainment, Cao Cao couldn't help feeling a little abnormal.However, no matter what, he would never think that they had any disagreements, after all Lu Bo and his father were good friends for many years.Moreover, he had a good impression of Lu Bo in the past. Lu Bo's sons will definitely not do anything to offend their father and friends!

Cao Cao still decided to stay at Lu's house for a night to relieve the fatigue of the journey.Brother Lu himself kindly asked him to stay, and said that the roads in this area are not easy to walk, and he might go the wrong way if he drives in the dark. It was night, and Cao Cao rested very early. He wanted to leave early tomorrow to avoid more people discovering him and arousing suspicion.However, when Cao Cao was lying on the bed, had just closed his eyes, and was about to fall asleep in a haze, he was suddenly startled for no reason, turned over and sat up.His heart was beating wildly, and a layer of cold sweat soaked his forehead.

What happened? Firstly, he didn't have a dream, and secondly, he didn't hear any movement. How could he be startled for no reason? Moreover, he no longer felt sleepy after this startle.So, he just sat on the bed, hugged the quilt, and his thoughts ran wild like a wild horse.His heart was still beating violently, and he could hear the beating himself.Although the cold sweat soaked from his forehead had dried, his forehead was still ice-cold.He stroked his forehead with his hand, and after thinking about it, he gradually felt something was wrong. So Cao Cao was startled again, got out of bed, put on his clothes, put on his weapon, hid under the window, and listened to the left and right.

The strange thing is that there is no sound in the whole yard. Could it be that everyone has fallen asleep? I remember that when he was going to rest after dinner, Brother Yuan asked him to chat for a while, and said that they had never gone to bed so early Pass.Calculating that it took Cao Cao only half an hour to enter the house, did they just turn off the lights and fall asleep? Cao Cao wanted to find out, so he gently opened the door and walked out.He pressed against the wall, groping forward, stepping lightly, trying not to make a sound.As soon as he turned the corner, he saw two shadows walking.Cao Cao immediately clung to the wall, not daring to move.Those two people approached, and Cao Cao heard them talking in a low voice.One said: "It's the second young master." The other said: "I'm afraid I have been to the county seat for a while." One said: "Keep your voice down, lest he hear you." The other said: "He went to bed so early , must be exhausted, exhausted, I'm afraid I'm dreaming right now..."

Cao Cao immediately understood what was going on. It seemed that his sudden awakening from the trance earlier was entirely a premonition.He was thankful for his instinctive vigilance, otherwise, he would have fallen into the Lu Brothers' trap tonight. There was no doubt that he had to get out of this place without a moment's hesitation.He suddenly gritted his teeth with hatred for the Lu Brothers, these beasts who are ungrateful for profit! He really wanted to kill them all.However, now he can't, he can only escape quietly, and leave it to avenge this revenge in the future.
