Volume 1 Jiangdong Fengyun Chapter 23: Iron-Boned White Hard Drive
In the meeting hall of the prefect's office, Lu Bu, Chen Gong, Bai Tu... as well as major generals including Zhang Liao and Gao Shun were all present. At this time, Lu Bu sat in the first seat, and the others sat on both sides. The atmosphere was quite solemn.
At this time, Bai Tu had also learned that Lu Bu was awarded the title of "General of the Central Army for Pingyue". Even though he was not sensitive to this aspect, he now understood Cao Cao's sinister intentions... This could be said to be an open conspiracy.
Originally, Bai Tu thought that being appointed as the governor of Yangzhou was the worst thing that could happen to him, but he didn't expect that there would be something even worse - it seemed that Lu Bu didn't want to go with him!
Even if Bai Tu had no intention of turning the tables, with the titles of "Governor of the Province" and "General of the Central Army", could Lu Bu trust him?
We went to Yangzhou together temporarily, but I'm afraid there will be conflicts in the future.
"Mr. Bai, congratulations! I wish you great success in the future! Since we have known each other for a while, I will give you five hundred Bingzhou Wolf Riders, hoping that I can help you." Lu Bu broke the awkward silence first.
"What? Dad, you're not going with Da Pian... ahem, Bai Tu? Wouldn't he be eaten alive by Yuan Shu and the Jiangdong nobles if he's alone?" Lu Lingqi said in surprise.
At this point, her way of addressing Bai Tu had evolved from "fake smart" to "big liar".
This liar is indeed a big one...even the treacherous Cao Cao, the civil and military officials in the court, and even the famous scholar of the time like Kong Rong, were "deceived" by him!
"What do you know? Mr. Bai can solve it himself." Lu Bu said unhappily.
"Dad, you won't be appointed because of your position..."
"Shut up!" Lu Bu scolded directly.
Seeing that her father was really angry, Lu Lingqi lowered her head in grievance.
"Ahem, Lingqi... the lord is also doing this for Mr. Bai's own good." Zhang Liao said at this time.
In formal occasions when other generals were present, Zhang Liao still called him "Lord", and only in private called him "Fengxian".
Gao Shun mumbled something, and Hao Meng, who was sitting next to him, suddenly said loudly: "If you are really that scared, why not go to Xudu! Cao Cao will not attack you!"
Bai Tu had never thought that he would have a headache because of such a thing. The current situation was obviously beyond the ability of a paper ghostwriter.
So he looked to the brain monster for help. Chen Gong had been silent since before, as if he was thinking about something...
As for the rest of the generals , they had no right to speak at this time. They all looked at their noses with their eyes, their mouths with their noses, and their hearts with their mouths in embarrassment.
Seeing Bai Tu looking over, Chen Gong seemed to have made up his mind. He suddenly stood up and stood in front of Lu Bu, bowed formally and said, "My lord, Gong has thought of something important."
Not to mention Lu Bu, even Bai Tu was shocked - so formal? Could it be that he really wanted to persuade Lu Bu to worship Bai Tu as his lord?
Bai Tu felt that if Chen Gong really dared to say that, Lu Bu would hang up and beat both Chen Gong and himself!
"Speak." Lu Bu said in a deep voice.
"Di Wan and Miss Lingqi are in love with each other, and neither of them is married. Isn't this a great match?" Chen Gong said, meeting Lu Bu's gaze.
Lü Bu, Bai Tu, Lü Lingqi: ???
Not to mention the people involved, the other generals also showed expressions of surprise, as they did not expect that Chen Gong had been holding back for such a long time and finally came up with such a "big move"!
"Chen Gong! You, you and the big liar are in love...you two are a match made in heaven!" After being stunned for a moment, Lu Lingqi decisively fought back.
Bai Tu was also stunned for a moment, then he looked at Lu Lingqi, then at Chen Gong and said, "Isn't it too small?"
Hearing this, Lu Lingqi's anger was immediately attracted to Bai Tu again: "You are so small! You are just a drop in the ocean !"
Lv Lingqi is quite cultured recently?
However, Chen Gong remained unmoved and even completely ignored the parties involved, continuing to stare at Lu Bu. If you didn't know, you would think that he was discussing their marriage!
Lu Bu looked at Chen Gong for a long while. The other generals were shocked at first, and then they gradually understood some of Chen Gong's intentions.
After being tricked by Cao Cao, if Bai Tu and Lu Bu continued to go to Yangzhou together, rifts would be inevitable in the future. However, let's change our thinking - what if Bai Tu is defined as Lu Bu's "successor"?
Lu Bu had no sons, and his only daughter was Lu Lingqi.
After Chen Gong realized that the Han Dynasty was about to fall, not having a son could be said to be one of the important reasons why he believed that Lu Bu could not become a powerful leader.
But now Chen Gong saw a new path - Baitu!
Given Bai Tu's abilities, perhaps he is a person worth betting on in this chaotic situation where the Han Dynasty is about to fall?
Of course, it was impossible to directly ask Lu Bu to worship Bai Tu as his lord. Lu Bu’s self-esteem would not allow him to do so!
At this time, Lu Lingqi also became the best assist player. If she could really be with Bai Tu, then Lu Bu's mentality of "helping" his son-in-law and directly worshipping his lord would be completely different.
And based on Chen Gong's understanding of Bai Tu over the past few months, he is definitely not a domineering person, and he will not hold a grudge against Bai Tu just because of their father-in-law and son-in-law relationship...
Not to mention Zhang Liao and Gao Shun, even Song Xian, Hou Cheng and others understood Chen Gong's meaning at this time. After looking between Bai Tu and Lu Lingqi, most of them felt that - there is a way!
If Bai Tu was just talented but lacked moral integrity, Zhang Liao might have to stand up for his "niece" at this time, but... after a few months of getting to know him, Zhang Liao also liked Bai Tu and did not think that Lu Lingqi would put her trust in the wrong person .
Lu Bu stared at Chen Gong for a long time, and his heart was already wavering...
But at this moment, Lu Lingqi said angrily: "If you want to marry, marry Chen Gongtai!" After that, she walked out quickly.
White picture: ???
Bai Tu was also innocent, it was not him who was instigating this, okay? To be precise, he just found out what Chen Gong was thinking!
"Well, Miss Lingqi might feel a little embarrassed." Chen Gong obviously had no intention of giving up just because the main person was dissatisfied.
"I also think this is not a good idea." Bai Tu said proactively.
Lu Bu immediately glared and asked, "What? Lingqi is not worthy of you?"
Zhang Liao and Gao Shun also looked over quickly - they grew up with Lu Bu, unlike Song Xian and others.
"Even if Lingqi doesn't agree, you can't force her! What's more, Lingqi is still young..." Bai Tu also became stubborn when he saw this.
Seeing that Bai Tu was sincere in what he said, Lü Bu looked at him with a much more relaxed expression, while Chen Gong looked at him in confusion - Disagree? Is it important?
But he didn't know that in Bai Tu's heart, the concept of "free love" had already been deeply rooted.
Besides, Lu Lingqi was indeed young. Although she looked older than she was, she was only sixteen years old. In Bai Tu's mind, this was definitely not the age for her to get married.
Even after traveling through time, these ideas are incompatible with the world, he does not think that he is wrong!
"Gongtai, I know you mean well, but... we can't be so selfish." Bai Tu said with backbone.
"So you want to..." Chen Gong said anxiously, thinking to himself: Do you really want to go to Yangzhou by yourself?
Bai Tu, however, had already been inspired, and said with great pride: "General Lu, I felt that I had a good relationship with you the moment I saw you, so I recognize you as my godfather... Well, how about I recognize you as my foster father?"
That’s right! This is what Bai Tu got inspired by - in his mind, forcing a sixteen-year-old to marry him was a beast, but... for the convenience of work, it was no big deal to recognize a godfather, just give gifts and visit during festivals.
However, as soon as these words were spoken, Bai Tu suddenly felt... the atmosphere seemed to have become cold?
In the mysterious silence, Bai Tu took a look at Lu Bu's expression and suddenly remembered something about Lu Bu... "Godfather" or something like that seemed to have some special meaning to him?
At this moment, Bai Tu really wanted to add: I am not talking about the foster father who is to be slaughtered...
