Although there was a vague, not so obvious guess, Lu Ren didn't say it right away, but looked at Cao Chong suspiciously for a few times and then asked: "Cangshu, if you want to come to my Yizhou to study, this is one thing, but what about the other thing?" ”

Cao Chong took a deep breath, and when he spoke again, there was a bit of tentative decision in his tone: "Another thing...... Lu Fujun, my father wanted to invite Miss Lan to go on a tour in Hebei. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo”

“……”

No matter how stupid Lu Ren was, he immediately understood why Cao Chong said that these two things could actually be regarded as one thing. Let Lu Lan go on tour with Lao Cao? Where would Lao Cao not know what the relationship between Lu Ren and Lu Lan was? So if you want Lu Lan to tour Lao Cao, you Lao Cao must first put a weighty hostage here in Lu Ren, but don't talk about everything!

As for how Lao Cao thought of inviting Lu Lan to go on tour...... How many years has Lu Ren been mixed up, how can he not understand the political factors here? Just a few eye rolls and you'll understand! To put it mildly, Lao Cao is trying to get back the face that was slapped by Sun Quan on the cultural level before; To put it mildly, Lu Ren's previous movements were too big, and Lao Cao was also afraid that the relationship between Lu Ren and Sun Quan and Liu Bei was too "iron", so he had to find something to prove that the relationship between his Lao Cao and Lu Ren was not bad.

In short, Lu Ren quickly figured out these things, and then looked at Cao Chong's gaze and became playful. After a long time, Lu Ren suddenly reached out and patted Cao Chong's shoulder, and said with a smile: "Let me think about this matter." But Cangshu, there's another thing I want to ask you. ”

Cao Chong replied respectfully: "Lu Fujun said that it doesn't matter. ”

Lu Ren looked at Cao Chong carefully a few more times, and then asked after narrowing his eyes: "As far as I know, you were training the football team in Yecheng before you were ordered to go to Hanzhong, isn't that so?" ”

Cao Chong was slightly stunned, but immediately responded: "Exactly." Saying it made Fu Jun laugh, he likes football very much, and he usually bows with a few friends. Later, when I heard that the Son of Heaven had issued an edict, I was a little moved, so I ......"

Lu Ren waved his hand to interrupt Cao Chong's words, and then sat down on the guardrail of the deck, his eyes also drifted to the sea, but Cao Chong didn't make a sound to disturb Lu Ren when he saw this. After a long while, Lu Ren suddenly smiled at Cao Chong and said, "Cangshu, are you interested in going to my Yizhou to play for a few months first?" As for whether to enter the school or not, let's go back and talk about it, I just want to invite you to my Yizhou to have a fun. Of course, you can refuse, and I won't stop you. ”

Cao Chong's heart was filled with a hint of joy, but he didn't show it on his face, but still maintained a very respectful posture and bowed to Lu Ren and said: "The prince of the mansion invites you, and you don't dare to resign, and this is also sincerely wished." It's just that I don't know how Fujun plans to let me go to Yizhou? ”

Lu Ren looked at Cao Chong again, and then responded: "I still have some things to deal with here in Liaodong, and it will probably take about a month." In this way, your business with me is also done, and this month is enough time for you to go to Yecheng for a round trip, so you can simply go back to Yecheng and talk to your old man about it. After getting the approval of your old man, you come back to Liaodong. In any case, it is necessary for you to go back and say hello to your old man, otherwise others may say that I have kidnapped you, and I don't know where to put this face of mine. ”

Cao Chong hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said, "The prince of the palace is reasonable, but I don't know when the time will be?" ”

Lu Ren said: "It's almost autumn in July, and then July is just the time to arrange the autumn harvest, and I have to be busy with these things in Liaodong, so I will wait here for you until the first day of August." If you don't arrive here on the first day of August, then this agreement between us will be null and void. Speaking of which, I don't want to get into some unnecessary trouble, Cangshu, can you understand what I mean by this? ”

No matter how calm Cao Chong is, he is only a twenty-year-old young man after all, so after listening to Lu Ren's words, there is a trace of disappointment in his eyes that is difficult to detect, but he immediately adjusts and salutes Lu Ren respectfully, saying that he will do what Lu Ren wants. And Lu Ren didn't say anything more about this matter, just pulled Cao Chong to lie down on the sun lounger, and talked to Cao Chong seemingly casually. It's just that on the topic, Lu Ren, who has already found out something, deliberately leans towards certain aspects.

Too much gossip won't be too much to say. only said that at dusk, Lu Ren left Cao Chong to have a light meal on the boat, and then sent Cao Chong back to the post house. When Lu Ren waved goodbye to Cao Chong on the boat on the deck, Himihu leaned over to Lu Ren's side and asked in a low voice, "Lu Dian, ...... that son of the Cao family?"

Lu Ren smiled indifferently: "What? Are you interested in him? ”

Himiko quickly shook his head. She is a smart woman, how can she not know in which ways not to mess with her gold lord Lu Ren? And then again, Himiko was just a little curious about Cao Chong, so much so that she really didn't think about anything else, or it could be said that she knew that it was useless to think about it. Cao Chong's soul was only hooked by her for a short time before, and he immediately returned to normal, but Himiko noticed it with a woman's sensitivity. On top of that, Himiko won't think much about other things.

Here, Lu Ren raised his hand and took Himiko into his arms, and pinched Himihu's fullness and firmness, and then smiled: "I believe that you are a smart woman, and you will not do what those stupid women do, and I think I have not treated you badly, right?" ”

Himiko nodded quickly this time, and immediately snuggled into Lu Ren's arms with a very well-behaved attitude, which felt like a well-behaved and sensible cat.

Of course, Lu Ren would not be polite to Himiko, but when he was teasing the "cat" in his arms, Lu Ren's eyes were always looking at the direction of Cao Chong's boat leaving, and he also whispered thoughtfully: "Safe haven?" ”

Himiko looked up in amazement: "What safe haven?" ”

Lu Ren also came back to his senses, and then smiled: "Oh, I mean that the dock of this Lelang is still a little rudimentary, and after some infrastructure is in place, it will be repaired for ships to avoid the wind." Isn't there one on the dock over there? ”

Himiko also looked at the dock of the happy waves...... Lelang's wharf was destroyed when Lu Ren's troops landed more than half a year ago, and although the progress of reconstruction was good in half a year, the shelter facilities were indeed not very good. And Himiko's Wajima Yamadai itself is a place near the sea, and the first thing that Lu Ren's tentacles will do after reaching over is the shipping facilities, and the shipping facilities of Yamadai are still relatively complete for many years, and even Himiko knows more about this aspect. So now, after reading it, Himiko couldn't help but nod and said, "The shelter here is not very good, and it needs to be strengthened." ”

Lu Ren said: "It's the autumn harvest soon, and after the autumn harvest is over, there will be idlers, and it's very convenient to spend some money to hire someone to do it, so let's do it at that time...... Well? The smell of sweat on your body is a little heavy, go back to the cabin and take a shower, I'll be over in a moment. ”

A bewitching smile suddenly appeared on Himiko's face: "Lu Dian, I want more than three times tonight!" ”

“……”

Speechless, Lu Ren reached out and patted Himihu's buttocks hard, and scolded with a smile: "Take your bath!" Wash it white and wait for me to pass! ”

Himi snorted, twisted his waist and hips back to the cabin to wash his white. Lu Ren glanced at Himihu's writhing lines a few times, and couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly: "Not only is it deliberately flattering, but is it really a little dissatisfied?" Alas, it's really not a good thing that there are too many women! In the last communication, the family members were complaining to me. Especially Zhen Mi, You'er has been born for half a year, but I, who became a father, have not been back...... I can't help it! Who made me play chess more and more now? Sometimes when I think about it, I don't know what I'm doing. Occasionally, I'm really a little envious of that guy Gongsun Gong, who is much more relaxed in Saipan now than I am. ”

After shaking his head and smiling and sighing slightly, Lu Ren looked in the direction where Cao Chong had left, and said secretly in his heart: "This kid is using me here as a safe haven, right?" Speaking of which, if it weren't for the fact that I knew some things in history, I wouldn't have thought of that aspect, and I would even think that he would be Lao Cao's successor...... Successor? Where would the person who is most likely to be the successor take the risk of coming to me as a hostage at this juncture? The only thing that makes sense is probably the three holes that want to dig the rabbit first.

"Well, that's right! Cao Chong is actually very similar to Cao Zhi in many places, but compared to Cao Zhi, Cao Chong has too many disadvantages, the most important of which is that Cao Chong is just a concubine. Waste the heirs, waste the long and young? No matter how capable Lao Cao is, it is unlikely that he will go against this traditional principle, right? It is unlikely that a guardian like Cui Yan in his territory will not be indifferent to this kind of thing. And then with Cao Pi's cruel strength, ......"

When he thought of this, Lu Ren suddenly remembered that when Cao Chong came to Yizhou for treatment a few years ago, Cao Pi had made a fuss about molesting Zhen Mi. At that time, Lu Ren thought that the original historical events had turned back from a certain angle after turning in a circle, but now that he thinks about it carefully, Lu Ren feels as if it is not like that, because:

"Although Cao Pi is lustful, he is not a hungry ghost in lust, right? At that time, I was a little too angry and didn't make any further observations about Cao Pi's kid. Now that I think about it carefully, I feel that this kid Cao Pi should be in a good position, and while it just angered me, he didn't go any further......

“X！ I don't know if I'm being calculated by this kid! Cao Pi's thoughts at that time may have been to provoke me, but not to the point where I had to kill him. And his ideal result should be that I don't treat Cao Chong in a fit of anger, and then ...... Nima! At that time, Cao Pi was only in his twenties, and he already had such a heavy scheming? It doesn't seem unjust that Cao Zhi will lose at the hands of Cao Pi, but Cao Chong will be afraid of Cao Pi, so it makes sense that he will think about finding a way out for himself in advance. ”

As soon as he thought of this, Lu Ren couldn't help but glance in the direction of Hebei a few times, but he was also secretly shaking his head in his heart: "Lao Cao, do you know about this matter?" But I think if you know, you should have made arrangements for Cao Chong, so Cao Chong doesn't have to take the risk of coming to me, right? Or did you actually know about it for a long time, so you deliberately let Cao Chong come over and leave Cao Chong with this escape route? What could be the case? ”

The sea breeze that was about to fall into the night, with a little salty breath unique to the sea breeze, blew on Lu Ren's body, bringing Lu Ren a bit of comfort. Untie the mane on the top of his head casually, any long hair is dancing lightly with the sea breeze, and the person closes his eyes and thinks carefully for a while, but Lu Ren suddenly laughs: "Come on, come on, can I still be afraid of you?" I'll be able to play some tricks again with this incident, but I don't know what kind of effect it will have then. Well...... By the way, if I think so, I'll have to look up some information, and I'll be able to make it more beautiful when I go back. But what do you need to do now......"

Turning around and looking at the hatch, a wicked and unusually evil smile appeared on Lu Ren's face: "Now the thing to do is to ravage our little wild cat." Oh yes, play with her today, uniform/uniform/seduction/seduction......"

――――――――――――――――――――

The next day, Lu Ren invited the young trio of Cao Chong, Yang Xiu, and Zhou Budo to come to the boat for a drink. After all the politeness and politeness that should have passed, Lu Ren chatted with the three young people as an elder, and at the same time said that he had already thought that when Cao Chong arrived here on the first day of August, Lu Lan's tour troupe would set off from Yizhou and go to Lao Cao's territory for a tour...... Don't think that Lu Ren is doing too much, in fact, Lu Ren's private meeting with Cao Chong is not in accordance with the diplomatic process, and the formal diplomatic agreement must be attended by others.

On the other hand, Lu Ren also had to spread the news through the two mouths of Yang Xiu and Zhou Budo, you must know that those "business representatives" in Lao Cao's territory are still in Liaodong, and they can save a lot of things for Lu Ren to spread the news. According to Lu Ren's idea, since he has decided to do something, he will simply make the movement bigger, and the bigger the better.

But Lu Ren also emphasized that the first stop of Lu Lan's tour can only be Xuchang, so Lu Ren has another grand reason, that is, the "Football League" held by Emperor Liu Xie's edict last year has been prepared for more than a year now, and I believe that all preparations have been in place, and the teams of all forces can start the game if they go. And since Lu Lan is going to tour, she simply wants to do the "opening ceremony" of this "football league......

"If this is the case, it can be described as a grand event within a grand event, and I believe that Cao Gong will be happy to do so."

After saying this, Cao Chong and the three of them hid in a corner and discussed in a whisper. In the final analysis, this kind of thing is really not something that these three young people can decide, and they don't dare to give Lu Ren any answer if they don't discuss it seriously.

Lu Ren is not in a hurry about this, just hold the wine glass and watch it happily. In fact, Lu Ren has been mixed up for so many years, how could he not know that this kind of thing is not something that these three young people can do? The reason why I still have to say it, to put it bluntly, is still the same sentence, Lu Ren wants to spread some things through this young man. When the trouble in Hebei is well known, Lao Cao may not be able to do it even if he wants to refuse.

Let's put it this way, at that time, the "football league" that Emperor Liu Xie wanted to do was not the World Cup or the European Cup in the future, if you really want to do it, it is enough to have three or four months to prepare, and then count the arrival of players from several forces, it will be OK in half a year. But why has it been delayed for more than a year but it hasn't been put together?

Is Liu Bei, Sun Quan, and Lu Ren not daring to send a team to Xuchang? ! These players are not capable generals, and to put it mildly, how much does it matter if this person dies at the hands of Lao Cao? Can it hurt Lu Liu Sun's tendons, or can it hurt Lu Liu Sun's bones? And on the contrary, these people were sent over, and it can be said that they have the identity of an envoy to meet the Son of Heaven, if Lao Cao really moves these people, then Lao Cao's face will be lost, so if you really want to talk about it, Lu Ren certainly doesn't have that mind, Liu Bei and Sun Quan can't do it well, and they still want Lao Cao to do the kind of thing that tears off his own face, and Lao Cao will be so stupid?

Therefore, the reason why this "Dahan First Football League" has not yet started is because it involves the contradiction between Emperor Liu Xie and Lao Cao. What was the original cause of this "football league"? It was Lu Ren and Sun Quan who discussed a "friendly football match", and then Emperor Liu Xie issued an edict when he heard the news, saying that he would simply do it together, so that all the candidates in the world would send teams to Xuchang to run the league.

So this is Emperor Liu Xie, who is full of food and has nothing to play? No!

Emperor Liu Xie is not the puppet emperor in the image of ordinary people. On the contrary, Emperor Liu Xie is a very smart emperor, if it weren't for the fact that he was really powerless in the big situation, Emperor Liu Xie might be able to make a situation again. And how could such a smart emperor not understand what kind of situation his Han imperial family was actually in?

In some things are already in an irreparable situation, what Emperor Liu Xie wants to do is to do his best to let this royal family, which is already on the verge of doom, shine a little bit more at the last moment. In terms of medical theory, Emperor Liu Xie just wanted to "return to the light" before "death", so that even if the royal family was "dead", he would still die a little glorious.

Therefore, there are some political factors in this "football league" for Emperor Liu Xie, and with Lao Cao's shrewdness, where can he not see the thoughts of Emperor Liu Xie? As far as Lao Cao is concerned, Lao Cao has never been the emperor in his life even in the original history, but doesn't Lao Cao have such a mind? The sentence "If the destiny of heaven is in me, then I am the king of Zhou Wen" may be able to explain something. Therefore, Lao Cao must try to block or even suppress Emperor Liu Xie's move to compete for face and authority......
