The palace maid saw Lu Bu holding her recklessly, thinking that Lu Bu wanted to molest her, so she quickly lit up the things in her arms. Before Lu Bu could react, she felt a cold sword clamped on her neck.

Only then did Lu Bu see clearly that she was holding a treasure knife in her arms. The knife was one foot or two inches long, and it was decorated with seven-color gems, which were dazzling and dazzling. The blade was extremely sharp. A trace of Lu Bu's hair floated by the blade and immediately turned into two pieces. It was really a treasure knife that could blow a sharp blade, cut gold and cut jade, and cut iron like mud.

Lu Bu asked with unlimited eyes, "Don't be afraid, girl, I am the Queen Mother of the Emperor, who ordered the new Guangluxun Lu Bu Lu Fengxian to take charge of the palace guards. This time, the killing of traitors and officials was excessive, and even frightened the girl was Bu's fault. Bu would give her a favor to her first."

The palace maid's originally cold eyes suddenly became gentle, and the autumn waves were circling and moving, but she laughed Lu Bu as soon as she opened her mouth: "General Lu, aren't you the chief clerk under the command of Governor Ding? Why did you come to the capital to be Guangluxun?" The accent of Shanxi (Bingzhou includes most of Shanxi Province) made Lu Bu feel very friendly.

Although Lu Bu was born in Jiuyuan County, Wuyuan County (Baotou, Inner Mongolia), he went to Jinyang, Bingzhou with his father Lu Liang in his teens, so he became accustomed to speaking Shanxi dialect. However, when he arrived in Luoyang, he naturally had to speak Mandarin. The Mandarin is based on the Zhongzhou pronunciation, which refers to the reading pronunciation in Luoyang as an office term, which is not the spoken language of Luoyang, nor the Luoyang accent of later generations.

Lu Bu smiled and said, "Yes, half a month ago, Lord Ding was summoned by the general to kill the traitor. I made contributions to killing the traitor and saving the empress dowager. The empress dowager ordered me to temporarily serve Guangluxun. How could you know me?"

The beautiful eyes of the palace maid were circulating: "The little girl's surname was Ren, nicknamed Hongchang. She was born in Jiuyuan County, Wuyuan County. She was originally a neighboring village with her general. Later, she moved to Taiyuan County with her parents. Because she was a little smart, she was recruited into the palace to serve as a female official who was in charge of the headdress and crown in the palace at the age of fifteen. She was called Diao Changuan (Note 2). Before entering the palace, she often heard people about General Lu's heroic acts of killing the Yellow Turban thieves and the Hu people."

Lu Bu was stunned. It turned out that she was really Diao Chan. This love that traveled through time and space for thousands of years made him suddenly not know what to say.

He saw Diao Chan looking at him blankly, with a hint of admiration in his bright eyes, and he couldn't help laughing: "Little Diao Chan, is your knife still on my neck?"

Diao Chan hurriedly took the sword back into the sheath. She couldn't help but giggle in embarrassment, and her laughter was like a silver bell: "General Lu, the little woman is really reckless. This seven-star sword is very sharp, so it won't hurt you."

Lu Bu was moved by her bright smile: "Little Diao Chan, don't say it's not hurt, even if it's hurt, I'm willing."

Diao Chan has met such a straightforward man since she was a child, and her face turned red all of a sudden.

Wang Yun, who was standing aside, was unwilling to just make soy sauce, and interrupted, "Miss, I am Wang Yun of the Wang family of Qi County, Bingzhou, and I am currently the Yin of Henan. Since you and I are both fellow villagers, it is better for the girl to stay at my house for a few days."

When Lu Bu heard this, he was furious and raised his halberd to stab Wang Yun. Wang Yun could not avoid it. The tip of the halberd pressed against Wang Yun's throat again. Lu Bu shouted: "Old man, if you dare to abduct a good woman from another family, Lu Bu will kill you soon!"

Wang Yun was embarrassed and angry, but he was unwilling to sacrifice his life for a woman. He hurriedly ran away like a rabbit to discuss with Yuan Shao and others how to get rid of the poor newcomers like Ding Yuan and Lu Bu.

Diao Chan pouted and said coquettishly: "General Lu, why are you so fierce to Lord Wang just now? He looks like a good person. Now the war is in chaos. Some soldiers want to rape my sister just now. The sister is in charge of the seal and is forced to throw the seal into the well. I was so quick that I used the dirt to apply it to my face to avoid those beasts. If Lord Wang could settle me in his mansion, so that I would not have to face these burns, killing, looting, then how great would it be."

Perhaps because of the sisters who died after jumping into the well, Diao Chan suddenly burst into tears.

Lu Bu was hit by the words in her just now, "The sister was in charge of the seal and was forced to jump into the well with the seal". Compared with the Romance of the Three Kingdoms and the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, it is said that after killing the eunuchs, "the imperial seal was missing in the palace", and they also say, "Sun Jian found the jade seal in the well when he entered Luoyang City (Note 1). Then what he encountered this time might be the imperial seal.

Lu Bu was in a very upset mood. Of course, he would not be stupid like Sun Jian and Yuan Shu, who would keep it for himself and become the emperor in the future. He wanted to use the jade seal as a political token to exchange interests like Sun Ce. No matter what, if the imperial seal is in hand, Lu Bu could use it to disrupt the time and space of the Three Kingdoms and then win in chaos.

However, the most urgent task is to comfort Diao Chan. Lu Bu said softly: "It's better to live in my mansion temporarily. When the situation in Luoyang is settled, I will send you back to your hometown in Bingzhou."

Diao Chan cried again when she heard this: "My parents were killed by the Huns when I was fifteen years old. I am now alone and homeless."

Lu Bu was both happy and sad. What was happy was that Diao Chan was homeless and had to go back with him. What was sad was that he had the memories of Lu Bu before. Thinking of his parents who died in the hands of Xianbei, he couldn't help but grit his teeth and said, "Little Diao Chan, don't worry, I will kill all the Huns, the Hu people in Xianbei, and avenge our parents."

At this time, Lu Bu did not realize that the policy of burning all and killing all three lights was a political failure. The best way to retaliate against the Huns was to incorporate them and let them consume them when dealing with the stronger Xianbei people.

Diao Chan raised her little face and burst into tears and smiled: "General Lu's words are serious?! Can you really avenge my parents?"

Lu Bu was fascinated by her bright smile, so he pulled Diao Chan's little hand straight up, hooking his little finger on his little finger: "Little Diao Chan, hooking and hanging it, it will not change for a hundred years."

In the late Eastern Han Dynasty, I was afraid there was no such childish way of making promises, but Diao Chan was very smart. She understood Lu Bu's intimate promise and blushed and said to Lu Bu: "Why do you always call me Xiao Diao Chan? He is already sixteen years old and is not young anymore. Besides, I am the female official in charge of Diao Chan, and I am not called Diao Chan."

—————————————————————————————

Note 1: Yun first discussed the amnesty of Zhuo's troops, and Lu Bu also advised him several times. Then he was suspicious and said, "This generation is not guilty, so he will follow his master. Now if he is a name for evil and rebellious, it is enough to make him suspicious, which is not the way to be content with him." Lu Bu also wanted to give him money and property to the ministers and generals, but Yun refused to follow him. He was always light and met him with a swordsman. - - - "Book of the Later Han Dynasty: Biography of Wang Yun"

Note 2: Diao Chan's tail and cicada feathers are both ornaments for ancient officials. Diao Chan's crown originated in the Han Dynasty. It was originally a crown ornament for noble officials such as Shizhong and Changshi. Then it developed into a ritual crown for senior officials. "Song History·Yufu" 4: "Diao Chan's crown is a cage scarf, woven on a lacquer, and is square in shape, like a flat scarf. It is decorated with silver, with silver flowers in front, with tortoiseshell cicadas on top, three small cicadas on the left, with jade noses on the left, and sieve tails on the left. The three princes and princes attending the temple and attending the temple are added to Jinxian crowns and conquer them. Therefore, Diao Chan may be the palace maid in the palace, rather than the maid of Dong Zhuo or Qin Yilu's wife Du, whom some people have verified.

The historical truth may be that Diao Chan escaped from the palace during the Ten Generals Rebellion. He was rushed to kill eunuchs and discovered that the strange goods were alive, so he hid in the mansion. Later, when he was about to use a chain of timing, he offered Diao Chan out. The Seven-Star Sword may have been treasured in the palace and was carried by Diao Chan to defend himself. Later, Wang Yun received it in the palace and presented the Seven-Star Sword to Wang Yun.
