Cai Mansion.
Confucius said, “By nature, men are similar; by practice, they become far apart.”
Inside the study, Xiao Lüzhen was intently holding a copy of the Analects, reading aloud with Cai Yan.
Cai Yong looked at Lü Zhen with a loving expression and asked with a smile, "Zhen'er, do you know what this sentence means?"
"Mmm~!"
Lü Zhen blinked her big eyes at Cai Yan beside her, then exclaimed loudly, "I don't know!"
"Ahem~!"
Lu Zhen's shout caught Cai Yong off guard, causing him to cough lightly.
Then Cai Yong said with a serious expression, "Didn't I teach you that you should think carefully when you encounter problems? How can you say you don't know?"
"Yan'er, you tell us."
"yes."
Cai Yan then stood up and said, “This means that people’s temperaments are similar at the beginning, without distinction between good and evil. Only after different experiences and learning will they become different.”
"good."
Hearing his beloved daughter's answer, Cai Yong smiled with satisfaction.
Lu Zhen, standing to the side, also lit up: "Isn't it just like when my brother taught me martial arts? Both were for fighting, but some turned into showing off, while others turned into helping the weak?"
Cai Yong nodded: "That's roughly the way to put it. However, the main reason for being strong and helping the weak lies in one's temperament. As the saying goes, 'If you want to do something, first be a good person.' You must remember this."
Cai Yong didn't pay much attention to Lü Zhen's constant talk about fighting, after all, Lü Zhen had grown up in the military and needed time to gradually change his ways.
"Yes, Master." Lü Zhen nodded obediently.
Although Lü Zhen admired her brother and longed to roam the battlefield like Lü Bu, she was also well aware of the kindness others showed her. Therefore, she kept in mind the words of Lü Bu, Dong Zhuo, and Cai Yong.
"Knock knock knock".
Just then, there was a knock on the door.
Cai Yong glanced at the door: "Come in!"
The door opened, and the Cai family's steward walked in slowly.
"Sir, General Lü has arrived and says he wishes to see the little princess."
Cai Yong frowned: "Zhen'er is studying. Tell him to come back this afternoon."
The steward did not move, but continued, "Sir, General Lü said he has been ordered to go on an expedition and will be leaving soon."
When Lü Zhen heard that her brother was leaving again, her eyes immediately reddened. Although she was very anxious, she still sat there obediently and looked pitifully at Cai Yong.
Cai Yong nodded: "In that case, let's take Zhen'er with us!"
"Thank you, Master."
Lu Zhen also bowed to Cai Yong in a proper manner, and then left the study with the steward.
At the entrance of the Cai residence, Lü Bu was bidding farewell to Yan Jin.
Looking at Yan Jin, whose eyes were already red-rimmed, Lü Bu's cold face softened slightly.
"Jin'er, this matter is too sudden. You and Zhen'er must stay here."
Yan Jin looked at Lü Bu with deep affection: "Fengxian, go in peace. I will take good care of Zhen'er."
Lu Bu smiled and then took Yan Jin's small hand: "Take good care of yourself too, and wait for me to come back."
"Um!"
Yan Jin blushed and lowered her head, giving a soft "hmm".
"elder brother!"
Just then, Lü Zhen's clear voice rang out, and Yan Jin quickly pulled his hand back.
"Hey~, haha~ Zhen'er, come here to Brother Dong."
Seeing Lü Zhen running towards him, Lü Bu was about to agree when a chubby figure suddenly darted past him from behind and scooped Lü Zhen up in his arms.
"Hey? Fatty, you've lost weight..."
Lu Zhen looked at Dong Zhuo, whose face had lost some of its fat, and couldn't help but let out a soft exclamation.
"Haha~, really? There's nothing in this world that I can't do if I want to."
Upon hearing Lü Zhen say that he had lost weight, Dong Zhuo couldn't help but laugh out loud, quite proud of his weight loss.
"His Majesty stipulated that you should lose fifty pounds, and you've only lost a fraction of that. Are you already so smug?" Lu Bu couldn't help but tease from the side.
Dong Zhuo, however, said nonchalantly, "Hey~, you have to eat one bite at a time, and lose weight one pound at a time, what's the rush? Don't you agree, Zhen'er?"
"right!!"
Lu Zhen, who was very particular about food, immediately agreed with Dong Zhuo's words.
Seeing this, Lü Bu shook his head helplessly, then stepped forward and rubbed Lü Zhen's head.
"Zhen'er, your brother is going to war. You must be a good boy and listen to your master. Don't cause any trouble, understand?"
"Okay, brother, come back soon."
Lu Zhen responded sweetly, still smiling as she looked at Lu Bu.
Seeing Lü Zhen's obedient and sensible appearance, Lü Bu not only felt no affection, but a trace of tenderness appeared deep in his eyes.
Happy times are fleeting. After saying goodbye, Lü Bu and Dong Zhuo quickly departed.
Imperial soldiers are trapped in the Western Regions, their fate unknown.
The news quickly spread throughout the streets and alleys of Luoyang.
When they learned that those small kingdoms in the Western Regions dared to imprison and kill Han soldiers, public opinion in Luoyang was overwhelmingly in favor of the Han Dynasty. Countless passionate young people took to the streets to cheer for the Han Dynasty and the Emperor.
Under the watchful eyes of the youths and the common people, Huang Zhong led two thousand fully equipped Imperial Guards cavalrymen, escorting Mu Lang and the others away from Luoyang, heading west.
The clerks of the Great Han Daily also worked through the night to typeset the content of the court meeting, and the workers of the royal printing press were busy all night again.
The next morning, those who had bought the newspapers were discussing the contents of the papers.
