Reincarnation in the Three Kingdoms Era with a System

Chapter 661: 661 Farewell

"What a joke! What gay men? Nobody's Nantong!"

Han Fu, of course, couldn't accept it. The thought of two men doing that kind of thing made him feel nauseous and nauseous.

After eating a few bites of food and drinking some wine to calm his nerves, he seemed to have thought of something. "Brother, I wonder what the Black Mountain bandits are up to these days?"

"You mean that General Who Pacifies the Rebellion, right?"

Lu Ming glanced at the dancers in the room and said dismissively, "I don't know. Maybe he is, maybe he's gone back. Since we're all from the court, there's no need for us to make things difficult for each other. I see Yuan Shao is still alive and well, even indulging in homosexual acts. Forgive my bluntness, but I find it disgusting, so I left."

This Lu Ming, constantly using terms like "homosexuality" and "gay," isn't he just blatantly disgusting?

Whether it's disgusting or not, Han Fu genuinely found it quite repulsive.

"Alright, since you've said so, my brother, I'm relieved. I was originally planning to send troops to support you, but now it seems unnecessary."

"I'm just telling Brother Han the facts. If you're worried, you can send someone to investigate. After all, this concerns Ji Province, and as the Governor of Ji Province, everyone here is under your jurisdiction."

Lu Ming flattered him again. Hey, anyone can say nice things, and Han Fu wasn't stupid; he could easily mix truth and falsehood.

"Haha, since you've said so, how could I not be worried? Come, come, let's drink, let's drink."

Han Fu didn't want to get involved in Yuan Shao's affairs. He was indeed a disciple of the Yuan family, but he mostly hoped not to bother him unnecessarily.

Once you reach a certain level of status, the so-called protégés and former subordinates become quite delicate; they may not necessarily obey.

After several rounds of drinks, the two chatted animatedly, and Lu Ming discovered that Han Fu was also a secretly passionate fellow.

He had all sorts of hobbies, including women.

Although the dancers here were beautiful, few of them stirred his heart.

"Brother, is there a woman you fancy? Feel free to take her."

Han Fu happily sipped his wine. For someone like Lu Ming, even if he had fallen out with the Yuan family, he wouldn't scheme against him.

Because it wasn't necessary. This wasn't an era of warring states vying for power, and even if it were, he wouldn't antagonize Lu Ming, because there was no conflict of interest.

"Thank you for your kindness, Brother Han, but I already have enough, I don't need more, hehe. Why not take advantage of this opportunity and tour Ye City together, a private visit?"

Lu Ming wasn't particularly interested in the song and dance party, as there were plenty of women waiting for his favor in the military camp.

Han Fu, seemingly drunk, smiled and said, "I've heard that the Crown Prince intends to send someone into Guanzhong to take control of the Three Auxiliary Regions. What do you think, my worthy brother?"

"I don't think much of it. The Three Auxiliary Regions are very turbulent; not just anyone can control them. Without a strong army, they'll only die! Hmph! I, Lu, am not talented, but I can still manage a bit. As for my relative Liu Yan, he's still holed up in Chang'an, refusing to step out, and his appointment to Yizhou is a distant dream."

Lu knew Han Fu was testing him, so he clearly stated his intentions.

He wasn't worried at all that Han Fu would betray him, because there had been ongoing discussions in Luoyang about the candidate for Governor of Jizhou.

Han Fu was now walking on eggshells; the slightest misstep could mean being replaced, naturally leading to his deep dissatisfaction with Crown Prince Liu Xie.

Liu Xie was good, and clever, but his plan to gradually replace provincial governors with members of the Han imperial family seemed impractical. "Heh, that's not true. The position of governor isn't something anyone can just take."

Han Fu also revealed a disdainful smile. "To be honest, there's been a long-standing debate in Luoyang about who should be the governor of Yi Province, with many believing that my foolish brother is unfit for this important task."

"Since you took charge of Ji Province, elder brother, peace and prosperity abound. No one picks up lost items on the road, no one starves, and everything is harmonious. Even bandits have vanished. With such great achievements, who could possibly replace you?"

Lu Ming feigned indignation.

He could tell that Han Fu was dissatisfied with Luoyang and with the Crown Prince.

"Haha, my wise brother flatters me."

Han Fu laughed heartily and continued drinking.

"I wonder what you think of Liu Yu, my esteemed brother?"

"I don't think much of him. I only care about my own little piece of land. Whoever threatens my interests, I'll turn against them. It's that simple. If anything good happens to you in the future, elder brother, remember to include me. Just share a sip of soup with me."

Lu Ming knew what the other meant—he was suggesting supporting Liu Yu as emperor. Of course, this couldn't be said outright.

Lu Ming's answer was also straightforward. He currently controlled Liangzhou and Sanfu. Anyone who threatened his position would be his enemy, even the crown prince.

And now, Liu Xie clearly wanted to regain control of Sanfu, so he wouldn't be polite.

After resting in Ye City for two days, Lu Ming wandered around the city with Han Fu, even going to a gambling den to try his luck a few times.

Following Lu Ming, Han Fu won quite a bit.

Gambling dens were supposed to allow deposits but not withdrawals; losing money was acceptable, but winning was absolutely forbidden.

However, because of Han Fu's status, the gambling den reluctantly accepted it.

Behind this were the interests and backgrounds of local powerful families. No matter how powerful their backgrounds, if the Governor of Ji Province came to gamble and won, and they dared to withhold his winnings,

the gambling den would have to close down.

Outside Ye City, Han Fu saw Lu Ming off, even gifting him a considerable amount of food and carrying supplies.

"The journey is long and arduous, my dear brother, please take care on your journey."

Han Fu cupped his hands in greeting. Although they had only known each other for two days, Lu Ming was indeed a friend worth making, and perhaps they could form an alliance in the future.

"The mountains and rivers remain unchanged, may our friendship endure forever. Please come to Liangzhou sometime, Brother Han. I will certainly let you experience the charm of Xiliang and the prosperity of Chang'an. If you need anything, you can simply send a letter to Hangu Pass."

Lu Ming said the last sentence softly.

During this time, he did not contact Han Fu's subordinates, nor did he need to.

Those were all worthless scoundrels.

"Alright, my dear brother, please take care."

Han Fu nodded solemnly, indicating that he understood.

Conquering Ji Province was unrealistic; Emperor Ling needed to die first, then Dong Zhuo could come and crush the last vestiges of Han Dynasty dignity until they vanished completely!

Then, a multitude of warlords would rise up.

He could then act swiftly.

While others were still embroiled in internal strife, he could seize half the country and advance from west to east.
