Gan Ning's crazy laughter could be heard in the distance, which was particularly harsh.

"Quiet!" Qilin said. Lu Bu rushed over fiercely, holding a halberd to kill Chen Gong, but Qilin stretched out his kick and stumbled.

Qilin said: "Diao Chan was not in Xiaopei at that time?"

Gao Shun had a sly smile in his eyes, looked at Qilin, and replied: "On the day of the withdrawal, Mrs. Gan invited the mistress to visit Xuzhou City."

Qilin said: "How could this be possible? Ah."

Qilin pointed and said: "My lord gave you military salary, but also lost my lord's woman? Now you tell me, what should I do?"

Lu Bu: "..."

Chen Gong patted the dust on his clothes, stood up as if nothing had happened, and said: "My lord personally ordered me. If you can't find anyone, just let her be."

Lu Bu: "..."

Lu Bu was stunned for a long time before he finally remembered and said angrily: "When did I say that if I couldn't find Diao Chan, let her go? I meant..." He was instantly stuck.

Chen Gong winked at Qilin. Qilin immediately understood and smiled for a moment. Lu Bu said: "No, Qilin ordered troops. Two thousand people will follow me to Xuzhou to bring her back. How can the family abandon her?!"

"Ah hahahaha——" Gan Ning laughed almost collapsed.

Chen Gong: "..."

Lu Bu said impatiently: "Come here, get a cloth and gag that guy's mouth!"

Qilin said: "It's not that exaggerated. He wants to attract our attention, so just ignore him for now."

"Yuan Shu proclaimed himself emperor in Shouchun, and the imperial seal was handed over by Sun Ce himself." Qilin casually opened the skirt of his robe, sat down on Lu Bu's desk, and said thoughtfully: "If what I expected is true, I'll pass.

Cao Cao will issue an imperial edict in a few days."

Chen Gong nodded and said, "It coincides with what I saw."

Lu Bu said: "You tell me, the Marquis went to pick up Diao Chan." As he was about to leave the tent, Qilin said angrily: "Stop!"

"Isn't this for you to discuss?" Qilin said: "Listen clearly, if Yuan Shu's army attacks Xuzhou, the rear will inevitably be empty. My lord, you can't wait in vain and miss the opportunity. Now is a crisis. Why are you picking up Diao Chan? Just send someone there.

"

"Cao Cao has stationed troops in Xuzhou, and Xun, who is staying in Xuchang, will definitely issue an imperial edict at this time and summon the princes of the world to attack Yuan Shu. Liu Bei and Cao Cao join forces, and Sun Ce has been waiting for the opportunity for a long time, and will also seize the opportunity to attack Yuan Shu."

Chen Gongdao: "Shou Chun Tun has the grain and grass accumulated by Yuan Shu in the past ten years, and Yangzhou is a fertile land. It has always been rich in fish and rice. Are we going to occupy Yangzhou?"

Qilin shook his head and said: "We don't occupy the city, we only rob it."

Lu Bu frowned, and Qilin said: "Tomorrow the troops will be divided into two groups. My lord, brother Gao Shun, brother Wenyuan, and brother Gongtai will lead a group of people to Shouchun."

"Yuan Shu's army is wrestling with Cao Cao outside Xuzhou, and the base camp in the rear is empty. You attack Shouchun, grab what you can, and try to seize his grain, grass, baggage, and property as much as possible."

"What about you?" Lu Bu asked distrustfully, as if he suspected that Qilin would run away at any time.

Qilin said: "I will lead another team. A thousand people are enough. Send them back to Xuzhou. I will be responsible for picking up Diao Chan. By the way, I will see if there are any generals under Liu Bei and Cao Cao who can speak out and help you recruit some people. You guys grab it.

After finishing Yuan Shu's belongings, we headed west to Jingzhou and picked up Gan Ning's family. We will meet in front of Hangu Pass."

Lu Bu said with emotion: "Go back to Chang'an?"

Chen Gong said: "This is a wonderful idea! Once we go back and forth, we will march to Shouchun, and it happens that Yuan Shu has to come back for reinforcements. Cao Cao will definitely come out in full force to pursue Yuan Shu. In this way, Xuzhou's troops will be empty... to seize Xuzhou?"

Qilin shook his head and said: "After we meet up, we grab Hangu Pass along the way and take away the money and food from Xianyang, Tianshui and other places..."

Lu Bu: "..."

Qilin continued: "Leave the customs and go to Liangzhou, find a suitable small town to garrison, develop trade, establish a territory of your own, gradually invade the entire Xiliang area, and then look at the situation, march into Xiliang or Yizhou, what do you think, lord?"

Everyone in the tent was silent, looking at Lu Bu. Lu Bu narrowed his eyes, smiled dangerously, like a greedy jackal in the dark, and said slowly: "I like robbery."

Lu Bu said: "Give me the order to conduct an inventory of the entire army. We will immediately pull out the army early tomorrow morning. Gao Shun will go with Qilin, and the rest of the people will come with me."

Qilin waved his hand and said: "I have a candidate, don't worry. Chen Gong must be careful when Liu Biao sends troops and is attacked from both sides. You mainly use mobile plunder. Remember! Only rob the government treasury and do not touch the people's property."

Chen Gong nodded, and after Qilin finished taking care of it, he said, "Master, follow me."

Qilin returned to his tent, rummaged through a small box and took out a carving knife.

Lu Bu looked at it indifferently for a long time, then found a place to squat and wagged his tail.

"I will go to Xuzhou in person tomorrow, you don't have to go." Lu Bu suddenly stood up and shouted: "Gao Shun!"

Qilin said: "You can't trust me?"

Gao Shun hurriedly answered outside the tent, and Qilin said again: "Brother Gao, please go back, it's okay."

Lu Bu said impatiently: "If I don't trust you, forget it, I can't tell."

Qilin held the carving knife between his fingers, and took out the wooden box given by Zhou Yu. He placed it in front of the case and opened it. In an instant, the light inside the tent was flowing, filled with precious aura, and it illuminated the night like day.

Even though Lu Bu had been an official in the court for a long time, he had never seen such precious luminous pearls. Each pearl was as big as a circle around the index finger, and they were made of deep-sea oysters.

Lu Bu murmured: "This thing is quite expensive... Let me see, there are ten of them?"

Qilin took a luminous pearl and teased: "Are you afraid that I will be jealous if you don't let me pick up Diao Chan?"

Lu Bu: "Eating...jealous?!"

Qilin looked at Lu Bu with evil intentions. Lu Bu's mouth twitched, and he stretched out his finger to poke Qilin's head: "You... Lord Marquis... Diao Chan... ugh."

Qilin buried his head and gently scratched the luminous pearl with his carving knife, and said jokingly: "Gong Jin said, the king and his ministers are just like husband and wife. Why are you so awkward there?"

Lu Bu: "..."

Lu Bu couldn't say more than three words to Qilin every time. He only felt a breath in his chest that couldn't come out.

Lu Bu said bitterly: "It's rude to talk back. Now it seems that it's better not to come back..."

Qilin's eyebrows twitched, and Lu Bu quickly changed the subject and said, "What on earth are you doing? This pearl is priceless. You must not destroy it."

"Your calligraphy is beautiful, let's engrave some." Qilin took Lu Bu's hand. Lu Bu was tall and uncomfortable, so he had to sit behind Qilin and put his arm around his shoulders.

Lu Bu's cheeks were slightly red and he whispered: "Engraving?"

Qilin's breathing was rapid, and he felt Lu Bu's warm nose and side face caressing his ears, feeling indescribably ambiguous.

"Well, do you know Xiaozhuan?" Qilin said, "Carve a straight character."

Lu Bu frowned and said, "This knife is too blunt, the bead surface is too slippery, and it is too hard to bear the force, so it cannot be carved."

Qilin smiled and said, "Just do it. Don't use too much force, or you may cut off your fingers."

Lu Bu held a luminous pearl in the fingers of his left hand, and held a carving knife in his other hand. The knife beads were small in size, and Lu Bu's palm was wide, as if he was playing with a child's things. Qilin whispered a mantra.

At this time, I saw the golden light on the back of Qilin's hand swirling around the carving knife, like a living thing, and there were bursts of dragon roaring sounds coming from the blade. When the hand was raised, the knife fell.

The carving knife scratched in lightly on the smooth surface of the rock-solid luminous pearl without any resistance.

A faint golden light flowed in Lu Bu's eyes, and he asked in a low voice: "This is..."

"This is the king's way." Qilin also replied in a low voice: "The king's way is the sharpest thing in the world. There is no shield to stop it. It attracts the hearts of the world and breaks through thousands of copper walls. It is an unparalleled sword."

Lu Bu listened silently, Qilin turned his face sideways and looked at him, the corners of his lips touching the side of his face.

Qilin said: "Okay, the next step is to engrave the word "Gong"."

Lu Buy followed his instructions and carved characters on ten night-light pearls, which were divided into: Shun, Gong, Yuan, Ba, Qi, Wen, Yi, Xiao, Bo, and Long.

"Go and give these three pieces to them personally." Qilin put away the carving knife, and the golden tattoo returned to the back of his hand. Qilin's right hand caressed it, and the tattoo returned to its original state.

Only then did Lu Bu understand. Qilin picked up the beads with the characters "Ba" and "Dragon" and put them away, saying, "I'll use these two."

Lu Bu said: "Whose names are on the other beads? Are they all those who will defect to the Marquis in the future? Is this a secret?"

Qilin smiled and said: "Not necessarily, it's just my plan. Even if I lie in the box for the rest of my life, I won't lose anything."

Lu Bu suddenly said: "What about you?"

Qilin turned his head to the side, looking lazy, and casually pulled open the brocade robe on his shoulders, revealing his delicate white collarbones, and kept a thin rope around his neck connected to the golden beads Lu Bu gave him.

Lu Bu's face turned red and he nodded. He stared at Qilin for a long time, as if he wanted to say something. After waiting for a long time, he held back four words: "It makes sense."

Qilin: "?"

Lu Bu held the bead box in his left hand and played with three luminous pearls in his right hand. He ordered uncomfortably: "Get some rest early. We will bring my concubine back tomorrow. Don't make any trouble."

Qilin mocked: "I don't know who is making trouble." After thinking for a long time, he suddenly understood that Lu Bu's "quite reasonable" sentence was referring to Zhou Yu's words, and he was immediately defeated.

"Uh huh..." Gan Ning was tied upside down to a pillar, tears streaming down his face, and was tickled all night long.

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu" Gan Ning kept begging for mercy with his eyes, his voice was hoarse and low, as if he was having sex.

The lower body was only covered with a pair of thin shorts, and the body was almost completely naked. The skin was flushed with lust, the soles of the feet were stimulated repeatedly, and the thing under the crotch was raised unconsciously.

Qilin felt that Taiya was too miserable and said: "Okay, okay, let him down... It's my fault that I forgot Brother Xingba."

Qilin gave the order, and the guards on the left and right untied the ropes from Gan Ning's body and lowered him to the ground. Gan Ning was exhausted and lay paralyzed on the ground like a dead dog, panting.

Qilin stepped forward with a smile, handed the Night Pearl into Gan Ning's hand, patted the side of his angry face, and said, "I'm sorry, Brother Xingba, just treat it as a visit to a brothel."

Gan Ning jumped up from the ground, covering his crotch and about to jump and scold his mother. Qilin was so happy that he took off the pair of bells from his waist and threw them to him.

Gan Ning raised his hand to catch it.

"Have a good rest tonight. I'll go do something with my little brother tomorrow. My lord has sent someone to pick up your little one in Jingzhou. That night-light pearl is for you." After saying that, Qilin turned around.
