Chapter 437: Alternative Beauty Scheme
Hearing that Wang Yun finally promised to have a relationship with Diao Chan in person, Lu Bu was naturally very happy, but then he said a little gloomily: "Diao Chan is your beloved daughter, Lord Yue, but I can only give her the title of a concubine, and I can't even use eight sedan chairs, I really wronged her!"
"What is this saying, Diao Chan can find someone who is really good to her, it is her blessing!" Wang Yun said, joking Lu Budao, "You too, you came to me just after the next dynasty, people who know think that you came to me to discuss affairs, I don't know what kind intentions you think you are not worried about!"
"Hahaha!" Lu Bu couldn't help laughing, looked around Wang Yun's courtyard, and muttered, "The last time I came to my father-in-law's mansion was the day Cao Cao assassinated......!
"Eh, Fengxian, this is in Chang'an, not Luoyang!" Wang Yunzheng was about to laugh at Lu Bu for making an obvious mistake, but he paused only halfway through his words, and looked at Lu Bu meaningfully, "Fengxian, are you tricking me?"
"How dare you?" Lu Bu said humbly, "It's just that my father-in-law is about to become my fourth father, I just want to see if I have seen the wrong person!"
"I knew you weren't a simple person!" Wang Yun pretended to say this sentence casually, and then walked towards the hall and ordered the people next to him, "Close the door of the mansion, just say that I am sick and it is inconvenient to meet guests!"
Lu Bu followed Wang Yun's back and walked towards the hall, his expression becoming more and more solemn.
In the inner room, Wang Yun and Lu Bu each sat down, and then spoke first: "Take it out!"
Lu Bu was stunned for a moment, then smiled and took out a thing from his arms, and handed it to Wang Yun with a smile: "The thing is returned to the original owner!"
"Hahaha, the Seven-Star Treasure Knife, you've been wandering outside for so long, and you're finally back!" Wang Yun took it, took it out in his hand and took it out, and sure enough, it was the seven-star treasure knife inherited by his family, it was still so simple and unpretentious, or so sharp, it seemed that he had completed a mission and returned to Wang Yun's hands.
Lu Bu asked, "How does Uncle Yue know that the junior son-in-law is coming with your family's heirloom Seven Star Treasure Sword?"
Wang Yunchang laughed and said: "There is something in your words just now, I guessed the ** points, plus this treasure knife has been passed down for hundreds of years, and it has long been stained with the breath of my Wang family, so it has reached the "¢dǐng" ¢diǎn "¢ small" ¢ said, .2 ◎ 3.≯os_ (); I sensed it at the door!"
Lu Bu clenched his fists and smiled: "Lord Yue-in-law is really powerful, which makes my son-in-law admire!"
Wang Yun picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea, stared at Lu Bu in front of him, and said: "If you have something to say, just say it, Fengxian, you are not the kind of person who can hide your words, your face says that you have something to say from the moment you enter the door, I brought you to this inner room, but I didn't listen to your compliments to let you know how prescient I was!"
"Okay, then the little son-in-law will be offended, Lord Yue, in fact, Cao Cao's assassination of Dong Zhuo that day was instructed by you, right?" Lu Bu asked directly.
Wang Yun put the seven-star treasure knife on the table and said in a low voice: "I admit that this is the real seven-star treasure sword, haven't you already told you the answer?"
Lu Bu lowered his head and thought for a moment, and then said to Wang Yun: "Okay, Lord Yuezhang said that I am the one who can't hide my words, then I am wrong!"
"Wrong?" Wang Yun was taken aback when he heard Lu Bu's words, "What do you want to say?"
"What I said to Guanglu Doctor Huang Wan in the main hall today is true!" Lu Bu said quietly.
"Is it all true? That means ......" Wang Yun thought about the connotation of Lu Bu's words, echoing the conversation between Lu Bu and Huang Wan today, and gasped, "Are you ......?"
"Yes, I took refuge in Dong Zhuo's side precisely to get rid of him! I was sent to do this qiē is my father-in-law!" Lu Bu said heavily.
Wang Yun was even more surprised, he never thought that Lu Bu would say such a thing, it seems that there are still many things he doesn't know, he stared at Lu Bu's eyes and asked, "You mean, Ding Yuan asked you to kill Dong Zhuo!"
"That's right!" Lu Bu said this, still with a faint pain in his heart, "And in order to convince Dong Zhuo that I am truly surrendering, my father-in-law does not hesitate to bet on his own head!"
Wang Yun still didn't understand, he continued to ask: "This is really unbelievable, you didn't really surrender to Dong Zhuo from the beginning? But why is Ding Yuan so stupid? What if he loses the bet?"
Lu Bu sighed and said: "I didn't understand it at the time, but now I slowly understand that he was assassinated by the people sent by Dong Zhuo, and he was highly poisoned, and he also wanted to kill Dong Zhuo with his own hands, but he hated that he couldn't return to the sky, so he made this difficult and only decision in the last one of his life!"
Wang Yun was moved, and left the table to bow deeply to Lu Bu: "Everyone in the world is wrong to blame Lu Fengxian, Fengxian, you are the real hero!"
When Lu Bu saw Wang Yun giving such a big gift, he immediately got up and supported him: "Lord Yue, what do you mean by this?
Wang Yunchang said with a smile: "The thieves are just gone, there are still many places in the court to use Fengxian, you don't have to work hard, Huangfu Song died, General Zhu Jun has become disheartened after this, and he is old, it is not suitable to fight on the battlefield again, Fengxian You are in the prime of life, and you are my fast son-in-law, as long as you have a meritorious career, you naturally don't have to be afraid of the gossip of those who look down on you in the court!"
Lu Bu was stunned in his heart: Wang Yun's words, can he be regarded as wooing himself and becoming his henchman?
But looking at Wang Yun's kind and amiable smile, Lu Bu immediately bowed down and said, "I am willing to serve the dogs and horses!"
If it weren't for the experience of being by Dong Zhuo's side in the past few years, if he was still a simple soldier under Ding Yuan's account, maybe Lu Bu wouldn't think so, but now it's different, he now seems to have the temptation to understand the power center of politics, why so many people want to leave, but more people flock to it.
"Feng Xian, what do you want?" Wang Yun's words suddenly broke Lu Bu's contemplation.
Lu Bu was slightly startled in his heart, and immediately said: " It's nothing, I'm thinking about what we have to do next, although Dong Zhuo is dead, but there are many henchmen, Niu Fu, Dong Yue, Dong Huang, Dong Min, the four major forces have formed a flanking attack on Chang'an, we must do our best to co-opt them, Niu Fu has betrayed Dong Zhuo before, which undoubtedly opens the door for us to contact the Kwantung princes, but at this moment he is in Hongnong He is being besieged by his former generals Li Dao, Guo Yan, Fan Chou, Zhang Ji more than 100,000 people, these people have recently fought many times, and the battlefield experience is extremely sophisticated, and the soldiers and horses available in Chang'an City are less than 20,000, so the current shape is not good for us!”
Wang Yun looked at Lu Budao in admiration: "Feng Xian has now become so general-like, remember that when you were under Ding Yuan's account, you were just one of his master books, it is really terrifying!"
Lu Bu smiled: "Thank you for your compliment, many of my things were learned when I was the master book!"
Wang Yun turned around and looked at the map hanging on the screen and said in a deep voice: "As Feng Xian said, there are many enemies now, and they are very powerful, we can only concentrate our limited forces and annihilate them one by one!"
Lu Bu was about to say something, when a voice suddenly came from outside the door: "It's really a good plan, but Chang'an has just moved the capital, although the national thief is dead, the people's hearts are not stable, and the elite soldiers and strong generals who are tired and weak and outnumbered and the enemy are several times their own, which is tantamount to hitting a stone with an egg, right?"
"Chen Gongtai, as soon as I heard this voice, I knew that you were coming!" Wang Yun stepped forward to open the door with a smile, and sure enough, he saw Chen Gong standing outside the door in a cloth suit, as if he had been here for a long time.
Chen Gong naturally saw Lu Bu as well, and said, "This general is General Lu Bu, who is known as the God of War, and he is really a talent!"
Lu Bu hadn't heard of Chen Gong's name, but after looking at the other party, he always felt an inexplicable good impression, so he also saluted: "Mr. Chen Gong has a good reputation, and he is just a martial artist!"
"Can a martial artist endure humiliation and lurk by Dong Zhuo's side for so long? A martial artist can be thoughtful and do all kinds of deeds without leaking?Can a martial artist be relied on by Lord Situ like this?" Chen Gong looked at Lu Bu and Wang Yun with a smile, "I'm sorry, I am so contemptible that I have a natural ear, I have heard everything just now, Wang Situ, don't you plan to invite me in?"
Wang Yun was stunned for a moment, and then said with a long smile: "Haha, please come in, the public platform is just right today, come here, prepare a banquet, we won't get drunk and won't return!"
Chen Gong immediately stopped: "Don't don't, don't be, isn't General Lu Bu going out of the city tomorrow to suppress bandits?
Wang Yun said bluntly: "I have already guessed that Feng Xian is not an outsider, and the public station just has to say it!"
Chen Gong sighed and said: "Since I was turned away from meeting all the officials of the court and the central government in Luoyang last year, I met Cao Cao, who failed to assassinate Dong Zhuo, and I resolutely followed him just because of his words, and then I started in Chenliu, until now!"
Wang Yun said suddenly: "It turns out that you are the one who is walking with Meng De? I will say, how can Meng De alone escape Dong Zhuo's pursuit, and there are your people secretly helping you at all times!"
Chen Gong smiled bitterly: "Yes, in order to protect this Cao Mengde who failed to assassinate Dong Zhuo, I took all the dead soldiers who assassinated Dong Zhuo in my own organization, and I don't know if what I did was right or wrong, but I don't regret it!"
Wang Yun Zhengse said: "Meng De's defeat is all providence, but he has also made great contributions to organizing the alliance of the Kwantung princes!"
Chen Gong smiled bitterly again: "Meng De's departure is good, but the result is something none of us want to see!"
Lu Bu said at this time: "I have also heard that the princes of the Eighteen Roads are all holding troops and only know how to eat, drink and have fun, only Sun Jian and Cao Cao have contributed the most, Yuan Shao and others are just watching from afar, and Sun Jian is powerless to continue to attack, and he has not been able to kill Dong Zhuo, otherwise I don't have to do it myself!"
Chen Gong smiled and said to Lu Bu: "That's true, Cao Cao said that their army is not evenly united, and even the alliance leader Yuan Shao privately burned the jade seal to set up Liu Yu as the son of heaven, which shows what kind of people the princes of Kwantung are!"
Wang Yun sighed and said: "I just heard about Yuan Benchu's matter, I really didn't expect him to be such a person, I really misjudged him, how did he make the hundreds of thousands of people who died in the Luoyang fire blind?"
Lu Bu said quietly: "The crusade against Dong Zhuo is just an excuse, in fact, he just wants to strengthen his own power! Mr. Chen Gong, I don't know if what I said is right?"
Chen Gong glanced at Lu Bu and said: "I just said that the general is not a martial artist, it can be seen that he has quite insight to say such a thing, in fact, this is also what I want to say the most, the world is as black as a crow, just to see who is less black than whom, these days, I can see that those princes want to be Dong Zhuo once, even if they die, they are willing!"
Lu Budao: "Mr. hasn't said the purpose of coming to Chang'an this time!"
Wang Yun also looked at Chen Gong: "Could it be that something big has happened?"
Chen Gong thought for a while and said: "There is no big event, it's just that the contradictions between the princes are becoming more and more intense, Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zhan, Yuan Shu and Kong Ling, Liu Dai and Qiao Mao, the alliance has already existed in name only, I don't know what will happen next year, so I want to say that Meng De's departure is good, but the result is something none of us want to see!"
Wang Yun said: "Isn't this that nothing has happened yet? Dong Zhuo is dead, there are still things that can't be solved, since you are here, don't leave, now the country is in ruins, you stay to assist me in selecting talents, stabilize the government, I didn't hire you before because traitors are in charge, I'm afraid that you will be poisoned like Chen Fan and Douwu, now it's different, I believe that it will be okay!"
Chen Gong arched his hand and smiled: "It's still Wang Situ who understands my thoughts, it's rare for you to be so painstaking, yes, this is the purpose of my coming to Chang'an, at present, Chang'an's defense is tight, and foreign races such as thieves from all over the country, Dong Zhuoyu's party, and Xiongnu Xianbei will come to attack at any time, I hope my strategy will come in handy."
Wang Yun smiled and said, "What a big breath, is there no one available in Chang'an?"
Chen Gong took the opportunity to say: "There are a lot of people available, but they can be used so much that they are only afraid of being like the morning star, right?"
"Hahahaha!"
And at this moment, on the top of the house in Situ Mansion, Ling Jian, Diao Chan, and Ye Di were sitting there idly, looking at the three people who were talking in Situ Mansion, and they were silent for a long time.
"Senior sister, your task is complete, Mr. Su Mu said let me take you away!" After a moment of silence, Ling Jian finally said.
"This day has finally come!" Diao Chan looked at Lu Bu's back in the room below in a complicated tone, and said with some reluctance.
Ye Di said on the side: "Senior sister, you don't really like that Lu Bu, do you?"
Diao Chan glared at her: "When you also have a crush, you will know what it is like to like someone!"
"I don't want to like anyone!" Ye Di pouted, "How free a person is, if you like someone, you have to be bound by that person all day long, how aggrieved!"
"Ahem!" Ling Jian coughed a few times and said, "You two little girls also know love, laughing to death!"
Ye Yan was not convinced, and pointed at Ling Jian and said: "What are you doing, but a few years older than us, you are just commanding like this, and you don't have the demeanor of a senior brother!"
"Let's go!" Diao Chan held back his reluctance and turned around suddenly, saying seriously.
"Let's go!" Ling Jian sighed as well, and then leaped forward, drowning in the night.
"Senior sister, let's go!" Nightshade knew that Diao Chan was reluctant in his heart, and wanted to say the sentence that Hua Tuo said that Diao Chan couldn't have children, but after thinking about it, he held back.
In fact, Diao Chan herself knows better than anyone else, she shook her head helplessly, and drowned in the night with the night.
Wang Yun said to his subordinates at this time: "Why hasn't Diao Chan come out yet?
"No!" the man replied.
Lu Budao: "No need for father-in-law, Diao Chan has been working hard enough these days, let her rest well, and when the rebels are eliminated, the son-in-law will definitely come to propose marriage!"
"That's fine!" Wang Yun said with a smile, "It's not early at night, General Lu will go back and quickly raise troops and horses, and prepare to go to Hongnong tomorrow to rescue Niu Fu from being trapped!"
Chen Gong looked at Lu Bu meaningfully: "It turns out that Miss Diao Chan has already promised to be married to General Lu, what a beauty and a hero!"
"It's easy to say, when you wait for the wedding day, you must invite Mr. to come and drink without getting drunk and not returning!" Lu Bu said that he had already gone out and turned over his horse, and said goodbye and left.
Looking at Lu Bu's disappearing back, Wang Yun said without changing his face: "Now that Lu Bu has left, you might as well speak up if you have anything to say on the public platform!"
Chen Gong hesitated for a moment before saying, "What do I want to say, I'm afraid that Lord Situ has already guessed it!"
"Is it about my abuse of power?" Wang Yun's face gradually became solemn, "What have you heard?"
Chen Gong said: "I heard that everyone in the city was praising Lu Bu as the first hero to eradicate Dong Zhuo, and Wang Situ claimed to be the first to be famous, it was a villain's act!"
"Oh?" Listening to Chen Gong's words, Wang Yun was not angry, as if he expected it, "I have long guessed that as the first important minister of the imperial court, I will inevitably suffer from these rumors, and this is not without precedent!"
Chen Gong said: "But now the world is not the same as in the past, now the world is decided, and the princes everywhere are ready to move, even if Wang Situ is a loyal minister, it is inevitable that he will be slandered by the villain as a minister, and the group will rise up to beg, and now Chang'an is weak, but it can't withstand the toss!"
"Don't worry!" Wang Yun said with a smile, "Just do extraordinary things when it's extraordinary!"
In fact, Wang Yun himself also understood that Chen Gong almost said that he might become another Dong Zhuo.
Chen Gong was about to say something, and the next person hurriedly came to report: "The master is not good, the young lady is gone, and only a letter is left!"
"What?" Wang Yun was taken aback, glanced at Chen Gong, took the letter, and saw that it was Diao Chan's handwriting:
"Father-in-law, forgive your daughter for saying goodbye, Dong Zhuo is dead, our father-daughter relationship is over, there will be no more Diao Chan in this world in the future! As for General Lu Bu, I can only say I'm sorry!"
"Diao Chan!" Wang Yun muttered, the words in the letter were like needles and cones, piercing his heart, and he recalled in his mind all kinds of incidents when he met Diao Chan, from her childhood living on the streets and almost starving to death, to becoming his maid, dancing girl, and righteous daughter, one scene after another came to his heart.
Chen Gong watched the changes on Wang Yun's face, knowing that something big must have happened, but he didn't dare to ask, so he had to watch Wang Yun be silent.
"She's gone, she's still gone, it seems that her appearance is to complete this beautiful woman's serial dissension strategy!" Wang Yun was silent for a moment before muttering.
