The grain transport team brought Lu Bu not only food and grass, but also news that Zhang Liao arrived in the Western Regions.

When Lu Bu was at the beginning when he heard that Zhang Liao arrived in the Western Regions, he was still happy.

After all, he is an old friend.

But soon Lu Bu became unhappy...

The reason for the unhappiness was not that Lu Bu knew Zhang Liao's actions in Xihai City, but that Lu Bu discovered that there was some meat coming with the food and grass.

Marinated bacon.

The grain transport team set out before Zhang Liao took action. They didn't know what Zhang Liao did after they left, so Lu Bu just knew that the grain transport team was organized by Zhang Liao to transport it.

So these bacon were sent by Zhang Liao?

Lu Bu looked at the piece of bacon in his hand and pondered without saying a word.

He knew what kind of meat this was, but what he didn't know was that Zhang Liao didn't have enough time to check the items in the grain transport team at that time. In order to avoid being discovered by Zhang Liao, the minor officials in Xihai City naturally made some concealment, so they were transported in normal bacon.

Lu Bu spent most of his life on the battlefield. On the battlefield, he naturally killed people, so he had more than any general teacher that any surgeon had ever seen in later generations. The people killed by Lu Bu had already exceeded the four-digit number, and may be almost close to five-digit number. And ordinary butchers, even if they don't rest every day during the year, they kill pigs on the first day of the Lunar New Year. If one or two heads a day, they will have to kill nearly fifteen years to kill ten thousand pigs.

So Lu Bu is very familiar with the smell of this meat.

The texture of this meat is like beef meat, but the smell is even more fishy than beef, like a mixture of sheep smell and uncastrated pig smell. Does it taste...

Lu Bu naturally had eaten it.

In the north, in the Sanfu, Chang'an, Heluo, and Central Plains, they have all eaten. They have eaten it in all dynasties, and only those who do not go crazy after eating it can survive.

Therefore, Lu Bu was not very disgusted with this kind of meat, but he couldn't say he liked it. He just didn't understand why Zhang Liao wanted to send this meat? This reduced Lu Bu's joy of seeing his old friend soon, but he had a little more doubts in his heart.

Zhang Liao and Zhang Wenyuan...

Lu Bu pondered, what was he going to do?

…(=_=)^#…

In Qiuci City.

Now in the palace that seems broken and messy, Baishan stands in the palace that has been robbed and devastated.

The throne on the steps was pushed down and smashed into pieces, and the gems inlaid on them were pried away, just like gems elsewhere in the palace.

The exquisite decorations were also taken away, and the rest were some wreckage and rags that no one wanted.

"This palace... I remember it was built for seven years..." Baishan showed some sarcastic smiles, "It only took one day now... Oh, strictly speaking, it was not even a day... Is it worth it?"

Baishan walked slowly forward, and a broken clay Buddha head blocked his feet.

Even though he had half of his head and half of his face missing, the Buddha's head still smiled gently, as if he was willing to accept the current ruin.

"Hmph!" Bai Shan kicked the Buddha's head away, watched the Buddha's head fly up and fall, and then cracked into more scattered mud. "Is this what you want? The magic power is boundless, ha?"

Baishan and Bai Su had completely different attitudes towards Buddhism. At first, the two people only had different acceptances of Buddhism, but soon they became unable to agree on it, and then they kept quarreling. Most of the time, Bai Su could not convince Baishan, and could only use violence or authority to put pressure on Baishan.

Bai Shan finally shut up.

Then it was changed to doing...

Lu Bu's arrival allowed Baishan to find the best opportunity.

It is obvious that in the face of violence, the clay Buddha statue is useless.

The Buddha statue made of gold and silver was stolen.

"I said it earlier!" Bai Shan stood in front of a pile of blood before the broken throne and said with a sneer, "In this place, begging for Buddha is asking for death! You have been a Buddhist for so many years. Is there any Buddha who came to save you when you die? Is there anyone who offered to those monks you usually offer to save you? The money, manpower and material resources you spent in this area can save you? I have said it long ago, and I have said it long ago...

Bai Shan sneered, but tears came from the corners of his eyes, and then he wiped it off quickly.

"I'm not wrong. Yes, I'm not wrong." Bai Shan said gritting his teeth, "These Buddhists, these monks, and you are the abscesses on Kucha! If you don't squeeze out the pus, it will never be cured! If you squeeze out the pus, it will naturally cause bleeding... Your method is not working, it's wrong, mine is right. Now, it's time to follow my method... I... I'm not wrong..."

…o(╥﹏╥)o…

『I...I'm not wrong!』

Wei Xu's understanding of special meats is different from that of Lu Bu.

Wei Xu believed that this was a threat sent by Zhang Liao...

Wei Xu even thought that Zhang Liao might have known something, so he specially used this method to remind Lu Bu that Zhang Liao's ultimate goal was to kill him!

Wei Xu swallowed.

He felt guilty.

Most people feel guilty when they are thieves.

Wei Xu is obviously one of the majority, even if he can pretend to be nothing in his daily life.

"Yes! I'm not wrong!" Wei Xu emphasized, and then cheered himself up, "Everything I did is for the Protector! It's all for the Protector! I am the most loyal to the Protector! Loyalty! Only I am the one who truly thinks about the Protector, only I!"

Wei Xu came to see Lu Bu after he was so angry that he came to pay homage to Lu Bu. Because he knew what Lu Bu liked and didn't like, he must not be like a thief.

"The Protector, Zhang Wenyuan... This is a bad person!" Wei Xu said in a deep voice, as if he had discovered some shocking secret, and said what Wei Xu thought was the most important and the easiest to impress Lu Bu. "Zhang Wenyuan came here this time, definitely not to help the Protector..."

Sure enough, Lu Bu's face became a little gloomy, "What do you say?"

Wei Xu lowered his head and concealed the possible pride in his eyes. "The Protectorate values ​​friendship, and I shouldn't have said it... But since I am a subordinate of the Protectorate, I have to say it..."

Lu Bu was silent for a while, "Say, I won't blame you."

Wei Xu thanked Lu Bu, "Daduo Protector, if I came from Longyou to help Daduo Protector, I would at least bring people, food, grass and equipment, instead of like Zhang Wenyuan now, I just brought hundreds of people, and then there was no... extra food, grass and equipment..."

『…』Lu Bu first covered his tightly pursed mouth with his hands, and then slowly stroked his beard down. He moved very slowly and his eyes were very cold.

『…Zhang Wenyuan left the Protector of the Great Destiny very early, he…』 Wei Xu glanced at Lu Bu quickly, “At least I am still loyal to the Protector of the Great Destiny… We don’t have much food and grass anymore, and those cured meats were also something I did just in case… If there is really something at that time, the blame will be on me alone, and the Protector will never be involved!』

Wei Xu confessed first.

He took the blame on himself.

Although there is no relevant food safety law for making special meat, no one will buy it back and then say that it is a three-no product and will be compensated ten times the compensation, but it will be attributed to the crime of murder, so it is still very serious if you really care about it.

But Wei Xu knew that Lu Bu liked this...

It’s not that Lu Bu likes to eat these meats, but that Wei Xu knew that Lu Bu liked this way of speaking.

Everything is for Lu Bu’s good, even if it’s going up the mountain and down the sea of ​​fire!

Don’t worry if you can really do it later, at least this moment will make Lu Bu feel very happy when he hears it.

It's enough to be happy.

"You asked them to find those people to get meat?" Lu Bu asked.

Wei Xu said: "I'm going to find those Hu people."

"Yeah." Lu Bu nodded, "Hu Ren... is nothing. If Wen Yuan asks questions at that time, you will say that I ordered it, and it's not your business."

In Lu Bu's mind, is Hu? Well, it's just like raising a dog.

If it is useful, use it; if it is useless, kill it.

Anyway, there is no "dog lover" who jumps up and finds fault with Lu Bu. Of course, even if there is really, Lu Bu doesn't care. He even said that he would be very happy to let such "dog lovers" really love dogs and experience the joy of having a dog...

"Major Protector..." Wei Xu blinked hard to make himself shine more tears. He was already very skilled in this method. "How can this be done? How can I do what I do..."

Lu Bu waved his hand impatiently, "I said it! That's it!"

Taking care of my younger brother and making himself look more powerful is also a simple happiness for Lu Bu. Just like in history, he heard that Liu Bei was bullied by Yuan Shu, so he just stood up without saying a word, and didn't even have time to discuss some real and practical exchanges of interests with Liu Bei.

Wei Xu bowed deeply and gave Lu Bu enough face.

"Okay, what are the less false rituals?" Lu Bu said, as if he didn't care about the etiquette at all.

Wei Xu knew that the more Lu Bu said this, the more he had to do the etiquette. So he did not stop because of this, but kowtowed on the ground again. He thanked Lu Bu again, and sat down again in the words Lu Bu seemed a little proud and pretended to be impatient.

"What do you think Zhang Wenyuan... is going to do?" After Wei Xu sat down again, Lu Bu frowned and asked, "Does he want me to stop? Is this what he means, or... the cavalry means?"

Wei Xu replied in a low voice: "This is mostly what the cavalry means..."

"Why?" Lu Bu lowered his head slightly, his eyelids rolled up, "What do you want to... do? If you want to change me, or..."

Wei Xu hesitated deliberately, "No way... I don't think the cavalry is like that..."

Lu Bu waved his hand, "You don't understand at all, you can't be too honest, you're like a good person... just go and do your business..."

Wei Xu secretly exhaled, "Then let's prepare for the logistics matters..."

"Yeah..." Lu Bu nodded.

Wei Xu left.

Lu Bu sat alone in his seat.

The hustle and bustle outside the big tent seems to be very far away.

Just like his youthful years back then, it seems to be very far away when I think about it now...

"No, I can't retreat."

Lu Bu said slowly, as if he was talking to himself, as if he was saying to someone, "There are many Hu people in the Western Regions, which are very chaotic. According to the previous method, there will still be problems, so... it is not wrong to lead it out in advance, I am not wrong... So, I cannot retreat. I cannot retreat. Once I retreat, it is not wrong, it is also wrong..."

『I have retreated...』 Lu Bu closed his eyes and murmured with emotion, 『Now... I can't retreat...』
