Its daybreak!

Although the sun is shining brightly, there are a few hazes floating in the sky, giving people the impression that their appearance may change at any time.

Due to the constant thoughts all night, and the noise of Dian Man and Xu Yi's snoring, Cao Peng didn't fall asleep until after three o'clock, which is when he entered the Yin hour. This sleep was not stable either, and he was in his dream.

, Cao Peng encountered all kinds of weird things, which disturbed him and made him even more tired than if he had not slept. It was not until dawn that he slept peacefully, but not long after, he was woken up by someone.

"what happened?"

Cao Peng sat up in a daze, feeling very tired.

I had a lot of weird dreams last night...but when I woke up, I couldn't remember anything. My head was empty and I felt confused all the time.

Outside, it's quite lively.

Cao Peng got up and walked out of the room.

It’s past chen hour!

The sun is shining high and warm.

Cao Peng yawned and stretched.

"What are you doing?"

He saw Dianman and Xu Yi staring at him under the porch, and couldn't help but ask doubtfully.

"Afu, hurry up!"

"Hurry up what?"

"Lü Bu just sent someone over, saying that a celebration banquet will be held at the government office. All officials will attend, including you."

Cao Peng was stunned for a moment and asked quickly: "What time is it?"

"It's past Chen hour!"

"Why didn't you call me earlier?"

When Cao Peng heard this, he became anxious and quickly went into the house to prepare.

A servant had prepared green salt and warm water. After Cao Peng hurriedly washed up, he took out clean clothes from his luggage and put them on. He stood in front of the bronze mirror and asked his servant to help him comb his hair.

Wearing a blue silk scarf, he stepped on his shoes and hurriedly walked out of the room.

"Aren't you going?"

Dianman and Xu Yi shook their heads, "We are not his subordinates, so why are we joining in the fun?"

Thinking about it, Dianman and Xu Yi are not official officials of the imperial court, so they naturally do not need to participate in such activities. To put it bluntly, the so-called banquet is actually a means for Lu Bu to show his power. No matter what, he has an unfair reputation in Xuzhou after all.

If his words don't go his way, he must seize the opportunity to show that he is the real lord of Xuzhou and Xiapi, so as to win more support.

Cao Peng was dressed neatly, thought for a while, changed into a five-foot-long silk reel, and walked out of the courtyard.

That nine-foot broadsword is really eye-catching. It's not like we're going to fight, so having a bamboo slip is enough for self-defense.

The slaves had prepared their horses outside, and Cao Peng got on Zhao Yebai and headed out to the inn. On the way out, Cao Peng met Sun Qian again. He was also wearing brand-new clothes, but he did not ride a horse.

Getting ready to take the car. Seeing Cao Peng, Sun Qian was slightly startled, then smiled at Cao Peng and got into the car.

On the surface, Sun Qian seems gentle and amiable.

But Cao Peng could read a cold murderous intention in his eyes.

This old guy is trying to kill me!

It is not difficult for Sun Qian to know Cao Peng's identity. He only needs to ask the postman. Moreover, this kind of thing is common, and the postman cannot hide anything for Cao Peng. After all, he settled in a post station.

, it’s very normal to ask around.

After Cao Peng took Sun Qian into the car, he turned his horse and left.

His face suddenly darkened the moment he turned around.

I hope Sun Qian understands the importance, otherwise I won’t mind taking his life!

Walk along the long street towards the inner city.

After passing through Xiapi Middle Gate, you can see the small town.

To be precise, the small town in Xiapi is similar in nature to the imperial city in Xudu. During the reign of King Xiapi, this was actually the royal city.

"Who is coming!"

When entering the small town, Cao Peng was stopped.

A young general, wearing a helmet and armor, was sitting astride a black horse.

He stared at Cao Peng and asked coldly.

Cao Peng raised his hand on his horse and said, "I am a Haixi soldier. Cao Cao Peng came to have a banquet at the invitation of the king."

When the young man heard this, he raised the corner of his mouth and said in a cold voice: "How dare you come to the door even if you are a small soldier? Don't you know that today, all the people invited by the monarch are of the highest class. If they are not gentry, they are brave men. No matter how bad they are, they are still in the same county."

Ling. You, a soldier, dare to come here, so shameless."

The young man jumped off the horse and must have been eight feet tall.

His body shape is not that burly, he is a little thin, but he is more beautiful.

His appearance is also very handsome, and he can be regarded as a talented person. Judging from his appearance, he is not a pure Han Chinese, but a mixed race of Hu and Han, so he has an alien temperament. His accent does not sound like local Xuzhou, but more like the dialect of the North. It’s just that

His words seemed very rude, as if he was deliberately looking for trouble. You must know that Cao Peng did not want to come over, but Lu Bu sent someone to deliver the message. He should know. But now, he is blocking the door, clearly looking for Cao Peng

Troublesome, because Cao Peng saw earlier that this young man did not stop others.

Cao Peng raised his eyebrows slightly, and his face suddenly turned cold.

His tenet has always been: people respect me one foot, and I respect others one foot. If you want to cause trouble, I won't be polite.

"It seems it's not your turn to ask whether I'm qualified to visit."

"Be bold!"

The soldier behind the young man shouted sharply.

"This is my young prince. You are a soldier, and you still don't get off your horse to see me."

Young Master?

Cao Peng was startled.

But I haven’t heard anyone say that Lu Bu has a son!

He looked towards the young man and saw that the young man was even more arrogant.

This guy looks nothing like Lu Bu.

Lu Bu is so handsome!

In later generations, he will definitely be a handsome uncle.

This "handsomeness" is not just about appearance, but also includes various factors such as temperament.

The young man is very handsome in appearance, but it has nothing to do with Lu Bu's handsomeness. To put it bluntly, in later generations, this young man will belong to a niche class. Cao Peng feels that in the new version of the Three Kingdoms in later generations, He XX, the actor who plays Lu Bu, is

He is somewhat similar to this young man.

Is he really Lu Bu's son?

When Cao Peng was confused, he saw two people walking out of the small town.

One of them was Zhang Liao and Zhang Wenyuan, and beside him was a very strong man.

He is about thirty years old, and his every move exudes an aura of uprightness and sternness. His demeanor is more like that of a soldier than Zhang Liao.

Although he is not as tall as Zhang Liao, he is only around 175.

He has an ordinary appearance, and he is the kind of person who can be thrown into a crowd and not be found immediately.

However, there is a murderous spirit in his steps, and the distance is almost exactly the same with every step he takes.

After Zhang Liao came out, he saw Cao Peng and greeted him.

"Why don't you go in? The banquet is about to start. The Lord just asked you if you were there."

"Ah, General Zhang, I wouldn't go in if it wasn't me. It's really... this young prince stopped me and refused to let me in, saying that I was not qualified."

Zhang Liao frowned and looked at the young man.

The young man seemed a little afraid of Zhang Liao, so he quickly dismounted and held his hands in greeting.

"Lu Ji, what are you talking about?"

"I……"

"Young Master Cao is a guest specially invited by the Lord. Don't stir up trouble, otherwise even your mother will not be able to protect you."

The young man's name is Lu Ji.

Is he really the son of Lu Bu?
