"Brother Xunzhen!"
Cao Cao bowed respectfully, feeling as if he and Lu Li were kindred spirits who had known each other for a long time.
Lu Li looked at Cao Cao again. He noticed the heroic spirit of a young man and couldn't help but admire him.
However, this quirk is truly disgusting.
It is well known that Cao Cao had a fondness for young women and married women, especially other men's wives, whom he loved to the core.
"Brother Xunzhen, do you have any interest in this Hongchang?" Cao Cao suddenly asked with a smile.
Lu Li quickly waved his hand, and Cao Cao noticed that Lu Li seemed a little embarrassed.
Suddenly turning around, he instructed the woman behind him, "Go and bring Hongchang here so he can spend the night with Young Master Lu Xunzhen!"
"Alright, Young Master Cao."
The woman didn't recognize Cao Cao at first, but she realized who he was after he gave his name.
This young master Cao is a regular customer of their Red Sleeve Pavilion!
"Brother Mengde, you absolutely mustn't!" Lu Li quickly stopped him.
He didn't come to the brothel to pick up girls; he came to gather information.
Cao Cao laughed and said, "Since you're here, you should at least have some fun. Brother Lu Xunzhen, don't be shy. I, Cao Mengde, love making friends with heroes."
"Tonight, all of Brother Xunzhen's expenses here will be on my tab, Cao's!"
Just as Lu Li was about to refuse, a servant suddenly ran to the woman's side, whispered a few words, and the woman's expression changed drastically.
"Young Master Cao, I'm so sorry, someone has taken a fancy to Hongchang and offered a high price," the woman said apologetically.
Upon hearing this, Cao Cao's face immediately darkened, and he said unhappily, "Who? How dare they try to steal my woman?"
The woman shook her head and whispered, "He's also a young master, quite wealthy!"
Cao Cao's face turned ashen, and he roared, "Hmph! I'd like to see which bastard has the guts to do this!"
Then, Cao Cao led his men in a grand procession to the private room on the second floor.
Lu Li was puzzled. Was Cao Cao planning to cause trouble? But he didn't think too much about it. As long as he didn't cause any trouble, that was fine.
Soon, a group of people arrived at the door of the private room on the second floor.
"Bang!"
Cao Cao kicked the door open.
Upon entering, Cao Cao saw a young man sitting in a chair drinking, with a beautiful young woman standing beside him, massaging his shoulders and legs.
"Let's see who dares to..."
Before Cao Cao could finish speaking, he stared wide-eyed at the young man before him and exclaimed, "Benchu???"
The young man was about to get angry, but then he looked closely and quickly stood up and said, "Mengde!"
Lu Li frowned. Benchu? At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, there was only one person whose courtesy name was Benchu, and that was Yuan Shao.
Is this young man before me Yuan Shao?
This young man was over eight feet tall, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, exuding a masculine aura. Such a person would definitely charm countless girls in modern society.
“It really is you! Yuan Shao, long time no see! Haha…” Cao Cao strode up to Yuan Shao and patted him on the shoulder.
Yuan Shao also laughed heartily and hugged Cao Cao tightly.
After exchanging pleasantries for a while, Yuan Shao looked at Lu Li behind Cao Cao and asked, "And who is this?"
Cao Cao was taken aback for a moment before reacting and quickly introduced, "Benchu, this is my newly made friend, Lu Li, Lu Xunzhen!"
"Brother Xunzhen, this is Yuan Shao, Yuan Benchu! The Yuan family has produced four generations of high-ranking officials."
"So it's Young Master Yuan, what a pleasure to meet you!"
Yuan Shao smiled and nodded, then his gaze fell on Lu Xunzhen, and he said, "Brother Xunzhen, you are a handsome man. I wonder if you are willing to take a wife?"
Lu Xunzhen smiled bitterly and shook his head, saying, "To be honest, Young Master Yuan, I am not yet married!"
Yuan Shao and Cao Cao were indeed close friends in their early years, and the two were well-known playboys in Luoyang.
Originally, the Yuan family was more powerful than the Cao family, after all, the Yuan family had held high office for four generations, and their disciples and former officials were all over the country.
However, since Emperor Ling of Han ascended the throne, he has favored eunuchs, and Cao Cao's grandfather was a eunuch, so Cao Cao's power should not be underestimated.
Although Yuan Shao was a noble young master, he understood the principle of leaving room for future encounters, so he maintained a very good relationship with Cao Cao, and they often gathered together to drink and make merry.
"Originally, I bought Hongchang as a gift for Brother Xunzhen to enjoy, but I didn't expect you to beat me to it!" Cao Cao sighed, looking regretful.
Who was Yuan Shao? Just a prostitute; he didn't even consider her a threat.
"Brother Mengde, you're slapping me in the face. If Brother Xunzhen likes it, feel free to take it."
Yuan Shao said with a smile, not feeling ashamed at all, but rather proud.
Lu Li secretly thought, "This is bad."
"No need," Lu Li refused. "I am not interested in matters between men and women."
"oh?"
Yuan Shao and Cao Cao were both somewhat surprised. What were they doing at the Red Sleeve Pavilion if they didn't like matters between men and women?
Could it be that Lu Xun is really a eunuch?
A thought popped into Yuan Shao's mind, and his expression turned strange. He couldn't help but steal a glance at Lu Li's crotch.
Lu Li noticed the strange looks from the two of them and was immediately speechless. What the hell is going on?!
"Ahem, since you're so kind as to accept, then I'll take your leave." Lu Li coughed twice and said.
He then beckoned to the beautiful woman, signaling her to take Hongchang to the next room. The woman nodded in agreement and led Hongchang into the next room.
"Haha, Brother Xunzhen, the spring night is too short, we won't disturb you any longer."
Cao Cao and Yuan Shao exchanged a glance, then laughed heartily and left.
Lu Li shook his head helplessly; he clearly didn't want things to be this way.
But he simply couldn't explain it.
He could only go to another room, where Hong Chang was waiting for him, wearing a red veil.
Helpless, Lu Li entered the room and lifted her veil.
Suddenly, a beautiful face appeared, with skin as white as snow, willow-leaf eyebrows, phoenix eyes, a delicate nose, cherry lips, and jade-like cheeks. Combined with her charming and alluring appearance, she looked exceptionally tempting.
Especially since she was wearing a pink halter top, which made her ample bosom bulge, adding to her charming and alluring appearance.
Lu Li stared wide-eyed at her face, almost thinking he was seeing things.
Because this person named Hongchang looks remarkably similar to Xiaoluer, about 60% alike.
Seeing Lu Li staring at her like that, Hong Chang asked somewhat timidly, "Young Master... is there something wrong with me?"
Lu Li snapped out of his daze, waved his hand, and said indifferently, "What's your surname?"
Hong Chang bit her lip lightly and whispered, "My surname is Ren, and my humble name is Hong Chang!"
"Ren Hongchang...Ren Hongchang..."
Lu Li felt the name sounded very familiar, but he just couldn't remember who it was, so he asked again, "How old are you this year?"
Ren Hongchang obediently replied, "Sixteen!"
At the tender age of sixteen, when he first met Xiao Lu'er, she was also sixteen.
"Judging from your words and actions, you don't seem to be from an ordinary family. Why would you be in a brothel?"
