However, facing the eyes of Lu Bu's father and daughter, Chen Gong felt more and more uncomfortable.
"Fengxian, can Lingqi avoid it for a while?"
Chen Gong stomped his feet and said shyly.
"Ham, Lingqi is my daughter, she's my own, there's nothing to shy away from."
Lu Bu's nerve reflex arc was obviously slowed down by half a beat, and he was used to it.
After the voice fell, a few more seconds passed.
When he saw Chen Gong's solemn eyes, he finally realized the seriousness of the matter.
There was no other way, Lu Bu quickly waved his hand, motioning for Lu Lingqi to step back first.
Seeing Lu Lingqi walking out, Chen Gong just said:
"Fengxian, then Cao Mengde agreed to form an alliance, but put forward two conditions."
"The first condition, he needs Lingqi as a hostage..."
"What! How dare Thief Cao!?"
Before he finished speaking, Lu Bu roared angrily with his veins popping up in an instant.
"Fengxian, we need to be patient with Cao Jun now..."
Seeing this, Chen Gong sighed, and quickly persuaded him.
"Hu~~"
He let out a long breath.
Lu Bu held back his violent temper, and nodded to Chen Gong to continue talking.
"The second condition is that they need to be trapped in the camp to escort Lingqi to Cao Ying, and then release them back after the war."
"What! The thief Cao not only wants Lingqi, but also goes with her in the camp?"
Lu Bu no longer knew how to express his feelings.
Growing up so big, I have never suffered such grievances!
He obviously offered to form an alliance with Cao Jun, but now he is begging Cao Jun to form an alliance. This alliance needs to be broken by Lu Bu to send hostages over!
If it's left before, Lu Bu will definitely give up the pick and quit. Our uncle Lu can't bear this anger!
But now, although Lu Bu is still very angry, after all, he has no father to protect him, and he has to rely on himself for everything.
Therefore, after venting his anger, Lu Bu calmed down and asked in a deep voice:
"Gongtai, what do you think of these two conditions proposed by Thief Cao?"
"Fengxian, forming an alliance with Cao Jun is the only way for our army to become independent from Yuan Shu."
"If you can take the opportunity to kill Yuan Shu, you can replace Fengxian's rule in Huainan and become the next overlord of the Central Plains!"
"At that time, our army's strength will increase. No matter how arrogant and domineering Cao Cao is, our army will be able to defeat him with great strength."
"With the bravery of Fengxian and the prestige of the state army, who can be the enemy?"
Chen Gong's words can be regarded as reaching Lu Bu's heart.
In any case, the matter of hegemony should be put first.
Lu Lingqi and falling into the camp are not a must-have for Lu Fengxian on his road to dominance.
Besides, if the hostages are sent to the Cao army, even if Cao Cao wants to play tricks and refuse to return them, when Lu Bu has strength, he can still let Cao Cao "spit out everything he took away!"
After some persuasion from Chen Gong, Lu Bu thought about it again, and finally agreed to this matter.
"Gongtai, Lingqi has a strong temper. If I say this directly, she may find it hard to accept."
"Look, how can we do this?"
Lu Bu expressed his worries.
The fact is exactly the same, Lu Lingqi has a strong temperament, if she finds out that Lu Bu sent her as a hostage, she might make a fuss.
Hearing this, Chen Gong looked at Lu Bu angrily.
"My lord, how can a man be tied up for the sake of women and children?"
"Lingqi is your daughter, for your hegemony, you should have this awareness!"
Seeing what Chen Gong said, Lu Bu couldn't help but smile bitterly.
He was only a girl like Lu Lingqi, and Lu Lingqi was born to his wife, Mrs. Yan, and she was loved very much since she was a child.
After all, she was his own daughter, so Lu Bu was reluctant to let her go to Cao Ying to suffer.
Seeing this, Chen Gong sighed leisurely:
"My lord, since you are reluctant, why don't you let General Gao Shun accompany her, so that you can have a good life, and in addition, General Gao Shun is the commander of the camp."
"Gao Shun? I'm relieved to leave it to him."
Lu Bu nodded, agreeing to Chen Gong's proposal.
Gao Shun was the earliest general who followed Lu Bu. Although he was not the most important one, there is no doubt that Gao Shun was loyal to Lu Bu.
Because the camp is infantry, it is not taken seriously under Lu Bu's account.
The cavalry generals Zhang Liao, Wei Xu, Song Xian, Hou Cheng and others were relatively more trusted by Lu Bu.
However, with Gao Shun's loyalty and taking care of Lu Lingqi, there will definitely not be any major problems.
Therefore, Lu Bu soon called Gao Shun over and told him the whole story.
Gao Shun readily accepted the order and agreed to help Lu Bu with Lu Lingqi's ideological work.
I don't know what method Gao Shun used, Lu Lingqi didn't cry or make trouble, and at noon three days later, she happily got into the carriage and followed the trapped camp to Runan City.
Seeing that Lu Bu really sent the hostages over, Boss Cao standing on the tower showed a gratified expression.
Immediately, Gao Shun, Lu Lingqi and the trapped camp were handed over to Tong Fei to be in charge.
The purpose of this move is self-evident.
.........
After all, the trapped camp is an extremely powerful soldier.
After entering the city, Tong Fei immediately sent Chen Dao and Danyang elite soldiers to collect their weapons and put them under unified jurisdiction.
As for Gao Shun and Lu Lingqi, Tong Fei arranged a house for them.
Lu Lingqi, who was originally irritable, staunch and active, completely turned on the mute mode after entering Runan City.
This is because Gao Shun had taught her before coming here to keep enough silence in the enemy's territory.
Especially in places like Cao Ying, where dragon pools and tiger dens are located, it is easy to be tricked if you are not careful.
Even a smart person like Chen Gong was tricked, the two warriors must be extremely careful.
For Gao Shun, Lu Lingqi has a heart of admiration.
Many of his art of war and martial arts were taught by Gao Shun, so it is not an exaggeration to count him as her master.
It was also because of Gao Shun that the strong-tempered Lu Lingqi did not quarrel with Lu Bu over this matter.
It's just that if they talk less and keep silent, is it really useful?
In front of Master Tong, these are just floating clouds.
On the second day that Lu Lingqi and Gao Shun lived in Runan City, Tong Fei brought Tai Shici and Chen to visit.
Said they were visiting, but in fact Gao Shun knew in his heart that there were many spies closely watching around their residence.
However, what surprised Gao Shun was that after Tong Fei's arrival, these spies went into a dormant state by coincidence, and they didn't even bother to watch Gao Shun and the others.
This couldn't help but shocked Gao Shun.
Judging from the spies' reaction, what does this indicate?
It shows that Tong Fei's status in Cao Ying is so high that he is Cao Cao's most powerful person besides himself!
Moreover, although Tong Fei has tried his best to hide his edge these years, so as not to let his reputation be revealed in the world.
Even for this, a lot of credit will be given to others.
But many deeds were still passed on.
As a general under Lv Bu, Gao Shun also knew something about Tong Fei's deeds.
It's just that he didn't expect that Cao Cao trusted Tong Fei so much.
So, here comes a new problem.
What did Tong Fei want to do when he came to see him and Lu Lingqi early in the morning?
Gao Shun was a little nervous, but he still pretended to be calm, waiting for Tong Fei to speak.
"Hahahaha, General Gao and Lingqi, did you sleep soundly last night?"
Tong Fei asked with a smile while nibbling on the big pear that Kong Rong gave him.
That look, extremely casual and bohemian.
Lu Lingqi didn't answer the words, she kept in mind Gao Shun's previous entrustment.
However, Tong Fei has already asked, so he can't just keep talking, right?
Seeing this, Gao Shun smiled wryly and said:
"Thank you Lord Sikong and Mr. Changping for your hospitality. Both Lingqi and I slept well."
"Yeah, that's fine."
"General Gao, don't be polite, treat this place like a home."
"After all, you are going to live here for a long time in the future."
"It doesn't matter how long you will live."
Tong Fei casually threw out the finished pear, clapped his hands, and turned around to take Chen Dao and Tai Shici away.
"Wait, what do you mean by that?"
"What do you mean we want to live here forever?"
After all, she is Lu Bu's own daughter, and she has the same temper as her father, and she will explode when she gets agitated.
Hearing Tong Fei say that they will "live here forever", Lu Lingqi became anxious.
Gao Shun quickly shook his head to signal Lu Lingqi to stop talking, but it was too late.
Hearing Lu Lingqi's question, Tong Fei turned around and said casually:
"Lingqi, after all these years, don't you know your father, Lu Bu?"
"He only cares about the immediate interests, but has no long-term vision."
"Since I have sent you here as a hostage, I have the intention of abandoning you at any time."
"what!"
"My father..."
Like a bolt from the blue, Lu Lingqi opened her eyes wide in disbelief.
Tong Fei's last words completely broke her defenses.
Immediately, Lu Lingqi looked at Gao Shun angrily, as if asking him, is this the case?
Why did Gao Shun let the strong-tempered Lu Lingqi go to Runan City as a hostage willingly and without crying or making trouble?
In addition to Gao Shun's prestige in Lu Lingqi's heart, there is another very important point, that is, Gao Shun lied to Lu Lingqi.
What Gao Shun said to Lu Lingqi was that Lu Bu asked them to go to Runan City temporarily as "¨exchange envoys", and they returned after a while.
In other words, from Lu Lingqi's point of view, she and Gao Shun were nothing more than envoys to Cao Ying.
Will go back naturally after staying for a while.
And Gao Shun told Lu Lingqi not to talk too much because he was afraid that she would accidentally offend everyone in Cao Ying.
Now after Tong Fei's "casual" provocation, Lu Lingqi's mentality burst instantly!
