Lu Bu’s Life Simulator

Chapter 22 The Hero's Twilight

The hustle and bustle of the day gradually fell into silence as night fell. Lu Bu left the table early and returned to his home. The box that had been dusty for many years was opened. , in this dream, he was not a person born with supernatural power. Even though he had never given up on tempering his body in the past twenty years after leaving the army, he still could not withstand the erosion of time. , At this time, I can barely raise one arm.

Carefully wipe off the dust on Fang Tian's painting halberd with a cloth dampened with water.

"Husband is leaving?" The wife came in with the support of her daughter-in-law at some point, and watched Lu Bu open the box with a smile on her face.

"No, I'm getting old." Lu Bu shook his head, and put Fang Tian's painted halberd back into the box: "It's just that the old general is old, and I want to see him again. I haven't cleared up some misunderstandings back then, and I'll be back soon. .”

"These things, the husband can decide for himself." His wife came to Lu Bu's side with a hunched body and held Lu Bu's hand.

"It's getting late, go and rest." Lu Bu helped his wife smooth her gray hair, and said with a smile.

The wife nodded. Because of their health, the husband and wife hadn't slept together for a long time. With the support of the two daughters-in-law, they left slowly.

Looking at his wife's back, Lu Bu sighed, and didn't go to find the two concubines. What happened today had a huge impact on him, and he wanted to be alone.

In the early morning of the next day, Lu Bu asked someone to bring his war horse, and was about to leave for Dazhai in Beiguan, but he saw that the third son had moved a carriage and was waiting in front of the door. On the carriage, there was a box. The one who painted the halberd was beside him, and Yan Xueyun was also there.

"Father, mother let the child accompany father to Beiguan." The third son bowed to Lu Bu.

"Go back and go, it's my father's means, so I'm afraid that people will rob me?" Lu Bu frowned.

"My son doesn't know, but mother said... Yesterday was the happiest day my father laughed in the past twenty years." The third son bowed.

Lu Bu was silent, yesterday...did he laugh? It seems that it has been a long time since I smiled.

"Brother, when people really laugh, I often don't notice it." Yan Xueyun smiled at Lu Bu.

"Let's go." Lu Bu turned his head and glanced at Lu Zhuang, but in the end he didn't go back, turned his horse's head and took his son and Yan Xueyun's team to Beiguan.

Luzhuang is not far from Beiguan. When Lu Bu chose to establish Luzhuang here, he realized that it was a defensive loophole in Beiguan, so he went here. After more than 20 years of going around like this, he returned to Beiguan again. At that time, things changed and people changed, most of the robes of the past were gone, and those who were still alive were somewhat surprised to see Lu Bu come back.

"Feng Xian, why are you back?" The person who spoke was his lieutenant general back then, the one who persuaded Lu Bu to throw his wife away, and now he has a full head of hair and looks older than Lu Bu.

"I heard that the general is ill. Let me come and see." Lu Bu pulled his third son over and introduced him, "My third son."

"Are you going to let him join the army?" The other party's eyes lit up when he heard the words. Now Beiguan is incomparable with Lu Bu. The court is decaying day by day, and the support for Beiguan is not as good as before. People are not willing to serve in the army anymore. In recent years, I have not been able to find any good soldiers, let alone generals like Lu Bu.

When Lu Bu was there, people were quite dissatisfied, but after Lu Bu left, the war was not as smooth as when Lu Bu was there. The son of Lu Bu, not to mention being able to compare with Lu Bu back then, even if he has half of Lu Bu's ability at that time. A great general.

"Look at him." Lu Bu asked Fang Tian to remove the halberd, hesitating for a moment: "How is the situation now?"

"It's very bad. It's been a long time since no recruits have been sent to Beiguan. We veterans are guarding it. If you want, you can stay." After patting Lu Bu on the shoulder, he saluted Yan Xueyun, Turn around and leave.

"Brother, let's go." Yan Xueyun said to Lu Bu.

"En." Lu Bu nodded, and followed Yan Xueyun to the Beiguan government office. Before entering the door, he could smell the strong fragrance of medicine permeating the air.

Yan Xueyun stepped forward and knocked on the door first, a scribe who was about the same age as Lu Bu came out, saw Lu Bu slightly startled: "This is Brother Lu?"

"Brother, this is an idiot." Yan Xueyun said with a smile.

"I've seen the imperial envoy." Lu Bu nodded and saluted him.

"No way, the general is the hero of Beiguan, how can I receive this gift? It's too frustrating for me."

"Who is that outside the door?" Yan Changkong's old voice came from the room, and Lu Bu's body trembled slightly.

"Father, it's brother Lu who is here, the elder brother Lu Bu you often mention." Yan Xueyun hurriedly said: "Brother, come in quickly."

"He." Yan Changkong said coldly: "What's the use of coming back? See if I'm still alive?"

Lu Bu's foot that was about to enter the door froze, he froze on the spot, turned around and wanted to leave, but was grabbed by the imperial envoy.

"Brother Lu!" Shaking his head slowly, he said in a low voice: "Father-in-law has such a temper, the elder is the most respected, how about elder brother letting him go?"

Lu Bu nodded after being silent for a moment, followed the imperial envoy into the room, and saw that Yan Xueyun had already lifted Yan Changkong up on the sick bed. The fierce tiger, although the might of the tiger is there, but the body has been unable to support it.

Seeing Yan Changkong like this, the remaining resentment in Lu Bu's heart suddenly disappeared completely.

"Did you see? Without you, I, Yan Changkong, will still guard the North Gate for 20 years, and I will stay longer in the future. As long as I don't die, Hu Kou won't even think about going south...cough cough cough~" Before finishing speaking, He coughed violently.

"The last general... wants to come back to fight." Lu Bu said after a moment of silence, looking at Yan Changkong.

"War? If I remember correctly, you're already fifty, right?" Yan Changkong snorted after a moment of silence.

"Yesterday just passed my birthday, and I'm exactly fifty years old." Lu Bu nodded.

"At this age, what's the use of coming back? Go back." Yan Changkong sighed and said, "It's impossible for me to give you another promotion."

"There is no need to be promoted, but Bu is willing to be a pawn and then fight for the general!" Lu Bu said in a deep voice.

"Father, my son handed over the memorandum you wrote to the court a few years ago to elder brother. Elder brother was supposed to come yesterday, but he only came today because he was planning a birthday banquet at home." Yan Xueyun said in a low voice.

"Bastard, who taught you to do this!?" Yan Changkong scolded angrily.

Yan Xueyun, who was nearly fifty years old, did not dare to refute his father's scolding at this moment.

"I want to come by myself." Lu Bu knelt down on one knee facing Yan Changkong, "General, when Bu was young and ignorant, he didn't understand the world, which made the general look bad. I beg the general to let Bu come back and make up for the mistakes of these years."

"You're right." Yan Changkong sighed and said, "The imperial court doesn't care about frontier generals. Those who make meritorious deeds are not rewarded, and those who have faults are not punished. They only know how to enjoy themselves in the capital all day long, so that good men don't want to join the army at the frontier. You It’s not wrong, it’s the imperial court that’s wrong~”

Just because of one background, all the achievements of Lu Bu were wiped out. Yan Changkong wanted to change Lu Bu's background through in-laws, but unfortunately Lu Bu was already married, so it was difficult for him to succeed. Yan Changkong could only make up for it in other ways. It's a pity... The talented and humble children like Lu Bu in the army have all left, and some of the remaining people are not said to be incompetent, but they are not as amazing and brilliant as Lu Bu and others. In the end, the talents in the border areas withered, and now they are even recruited. Difficult.

"Get up, let me take a good look~"

Twenty years of knots, Lu Bu unraveled, twenty years of regrets, the moment he saw Lu Bu, Yan Changkong disappeared, but the general situation is so, Yan Changkong is helpless...
