”Don't worry about whose courtyard Fan Chou is occupying. After all, he is at home, you can't be saying right now that Fan Chou brought the Minister of the Court back to your own home, right?” Yuan Shu did not care whose property Fan Chou took, he only wanted to cheat Cao Cao of his money right now. ”Let's go, quickly go back and lend me some money.”

”I haven't seen it with my own eyes yet. Who knows who's inside? Even if he isn't a minister, there are still palace maids in North Palace. If he were to bring a palace maid home, I won't lend him any money. ” There were a lot of palace maids in North Palace, and all the ministers had wanted to cut down on them for a long time. Even if Fan Chou took a few with him, no one would care.

”You're a cunning one, yet you still refuse to admit your wrongs.” Yuan Shu was furious and anxious, but he couldn't do anything. He looked at the wall and immediately came up with an idea. ”Didn't you want to find out? What do you think? ”

”That's exactly what I was thinking!” Cao Cao had already made this decision long ago, he no longer cared about borrowing money, he wanted to find out if Fan Chou brought first emperor's concubine back home. You step down, and I'll step on your shoulder. ”

The academy wall was a bit high, so Cao Cao was unable to climb it no matter what. But when Yuan Shu heard this, he was so angry that smoke was coming out of his head. However, for the sake of that one million, Yuan Shu could only endure the rage in his heart. He glared viciously at Cao Cao, and scolded him angrily, ”It's really the misfortune of eight lifetimes for me to make a friend like you!”

Yuan Shu stepped forward, allowing Cao Cao to step on it. Cao Cao looked at the wall, it was large family's backyard, the caravan was still parked there, but the people inside the caravan had already dismounted and were walking towards the garden. As it was getting late, Cao Cao could only see a hazy silhouette of a back, but he could not clearly see whether it was a concubine or a palace maid.

The rules and regulations of the palace were very strict. The empress and imperial concubines' attire was very formal and ornate, allowing one to distinguish between the empress and imperial concubines' identities just by looking at their attire. And the palace maids were just servants, dressed very simply. Unfortunately, the light wasn't good and Cao Cao couldn't see clearly.

However, Cao Cao's curiosity was huge, he would not let this matter rest until the problem was clear. He gritted his teeth and climbed up the wall, then turned and said to Yuan Shu: ”It's already late, and I can't see very clearly. ”You should come up too. We'll talk after we get in and take a look.”

Yuan Shu knew that Cao Cao was extremely interested in this kind of thing. If he didn't see that was not going to lend him any money, he could only extend his hand to Cao Cao and climb up the walls of the courtyard with all his might. Sigh … If I wanted to borrow some money from you, it really wouldn't be so damn easy … However, if you want to go in alone, I will watch for you here. ”

”Fine, wait for me here. I'll come back after I get a clear look. Help me up later.” Cao Cao did not expect Yuan Shu to follow him in. The reason he asked Yuan Shu to come up was so that when Yuan Shu came back, he could drag him up the wall. He pulled Yuan Shu's hand and slowly slipped down the courtyard wall.

The backyard was very quiet. The guards that Fan Chou brought back had all left without a single servant. As Fan Chou was a general of about the same rank, Cao Cao wanted to scare him a little. Maybe he could get something out of Fan Chou's body and swagger forward from the garden.

But just as he walked to the side of a pavilion, Cao Cao suddenly saw a tall figure. Although the sky was dark, Cao Cao could still recognize that the tall and sturdy commander was Lv Bu. He could not help but be shocked, why was Lv Bu here?

”Riding the Commander?” Lv Bu was also equally shocked when he saw Cao Cao. He quickly walked over and cupped his hands towards Cao Cao, sized him up, and asked suspiciously: ”Riding the Commander, it's so late, what business do you have at Prime Minister's Palace?”

Cao Cao was shocked, as though he was struck by lightning, and broke out in cold sweat. Suddenly, he understood everything. Fan Chou didn't have the guts to taint first emperor's concubine. He had brought his out of the palace for Dong Zhuo to enjoy.

And this Lv Bu, was now one of Dong Zhuo's trusted aides. Ever since Dong Zhuo had attacked Ding Yuan at night, causing him to be shot to death, Lv Bu had pledged his allegiance to Dong Zhuo, and Li Ru had spread throughout the place.

Lv Bu liked Lv Bu a lot, especially the fact that he was dressed in a martial arts that no one else could compare to, made Dong Zhuo have a whole new level of respect for him. In order to win over Lv Bu and make Lv Bu work hard for him, not only did Dong Zhuo give his beloved Red Rabbit Horse to Lv Bu, he even promoted Lv Bu to become a lieutenant and recognized him as his godson. Lv Bu practically became Dong Zhuo's bodyguard.

At that moment, Lv Bu appeared in the backyard, indicating that he was in the Prime Minister's Palace's backyard. Otherwise, no one would be worth Lv Bu's protection. Although Cao Cao had been to the Prime Minister's Palace a few times, that was only through the main entrance. He had never had the chance to visit Dong Zhuo in his backyard.

”Oh …” So it's the Lord Lieutenant. ” Cao Cao was worthy of being a formidable character of his generation. His small eyes turned and he immediately thought of an idea. ”I have something to report to Prime Minister, I'm waiting for him to summon me. I'm bored to death, so I decided to take a walk in the garden.”

The reason why Cao Cao had sealed Cao Cao as his Riding the Commander was because after Dong Zhuo had entered the capital, he had purposely fawned over Dong Zhuo, making Dong Zhuo believe him deeply. Of course, Lv Bu recognized him, he also knew that Cao Cao was someone that Dong Zhuo had trusted more recently, so after hearing what Cao Cao said, he didn't mind it too much. But he did not have much of a relationship with Cao Cao, and he was not willing to talk to him, so he nodded and said indifferently: ”Wait here for a while, I will not disturb you.”
