Chapter 39: Diao Chan's Different Life (7)
In fact, Lu Bu is indifferent to everything. He acquiesced in what others had done him, but he was not enthusiastic. In short, there is nothing in this world that can arouse his affection, except for the red rabbit horse, which can also make him a little interested.
Dong Zhuo asked him to lead the troops, he led, let him fight, he fought. Anyway, he didn't know how to spend this life. Let's go down like this!
When he has nothing to do, his only interest is to lead the red rabbit horse around. In this world, the only thing that means to him is this horse.
Ding Yuan's death was finally detained on his head, and the heroes of the world despised him because of it. It's not that he doesn't know, but he doesn't bother to explain, and he doesn't have the interest to care about what the hell is going on. They can say whatever they like, what does it matter?
It wasn't until he met Diao Chan that he was freed from this muddy state.
That day, he went to Wang Situ's mansion for a banquet, and when he was drunk, he caught a glimpse of Diao Chan walking out of the side compartment to dance, which was really fairy and jade, and Yan was jealous of the warbler.
For a moment, the idea of marrying her came to mind. When Wang Situ said that he could promise Diao Chan to him, he was overjoyed, and when he went home, he immediately took care of his property, took out a good dowry, and went to marry Diao Chan with great antigence. But when he arrived at Situ's mansion, Wang Situ told him that Diao Chan was forcibly taken away by Dong Zhuo and became a concubine.
It was a bolt from the blue!
This was the first time Lu Bu felt a deep sense of frustration. If Diao Chan was willing, it would be fine, but Wang Situ said that Diao Chan was forced and cried and was taken away.
Today in Dong's mansion, he saw with his own eyes that Diao Chan was not doing well, and Dong Zhuo was sick, and Dong Zhuo didn't invite her to ask for a Langzhong, if it weren't for himself, maybe she would have become sick! What is even more infuriating is that Dong Zhuo is still unrepentant, and he actually did it to himself because he invited Langzhong to Diao Chan.
The warrior's keenness told him that if he hadn't dodged quickly today, it wouldn't have been as simple as just scratching his arm.
Thinking of this, Lu Bu was remorseful. The rouge mole under Diao's earlobe dangled in front of him again, upsetting him.
At this moment, a regular knocking sound sounded outside the window.
Tuk, tuk, tuk, tuk......
Isn't he commanding the guards to see no one to go?
Lu Bu shouted impatiently, "Come in!"
Only then did Li Su push open the window, enter the house, and close the window with his backhand.
"Li Su, what are you doing dressed like this, how did you come in through the window," Lu Bu asked in surprise.
"See the general!" Li Su knelt on one leg and first saluted Lu Bu.
"Okay, get up! You and I are not usually so polite, what are you doing today?" Lu Bu stretched out his intact left hand to help Li Su up.
"Back to the general, I have something to say to the general, but I am afraid and dare not say it. โ
"Tell me anything, I've sent everyone out, it's safe here, no one will hear you. โ
Li Su put a snack at this time. If Dong Zhuo knew about his secret meeting with Lu Bu, he would definitely not survive tomorrow.
"I have always wanted to say something to the general, but it only involves the general's father-in-law, so I have never dared to speak. But after hearing about the general's injury today, the humble official felt that he had to stop talking about it, so the humble official secretly came to see the general tonight, so as not to keep the general in the dark. After Li Su finished speaking, he paused deliberately, and squinted at Lu Bu's reaction.
"Oh, don't sell it in front of me. Lu Bu's personality has always been rough and bold, and he does not accompany Li Su in circles.
"It's really hard to talk about this, lowly duty, lowly duty can't be said!" Li Su made a look of embarrassment, shaking his head and sighing and standing there.
"What kind of things can make you so embarrassed that you can't say it?" Lu Bu knew that Li Su had always been cunning and wise, what kind of things would make him feel that he couldn't say anything?
Li Su gritted his teeth, looked determined, and said to Lu Bu: "This matter also has a certain relationship with the lowly position, but the lowly position is also forced to obey it. If the general can forgive the lowly position, leave the lowly post with one life, and allow the lowly post to wear the crime and make meritorious service in the future, the lowly post will be grateful, and he is willing to be a cow and a horse for the general to drive!"
"Say it, I'm not going to kill you. Lu Bu really didn't bother to play with him, so he happily agreed.
Li Su breathed a sigh of relief. He was afraid that Lu Bu would clean him up on the spur of the moment. Lu Bu seems to be rude, but in fact, he has a generous personality, as long as he is not forced to be anxious, he will generally not be murderous, but he is easy to be impulsive. Now that he has Lu Bu's assurance, whether it is now or afterwards, when Lu Bu remembers this matter, he will keep his promise and will not kill himself.
"Humble General Xie's grace of not killing!" Li Su knelt down on one knee and solemnly kowtowed to Lu Bu, and then spoke eloquently.
"What I want to say about the humble position is the matter of Taiwei Dong, and it is also the matter of the history of Ding Ding in the beginning.
At the beginning, Dong Taiwei was not a Taiwei, he had just controlled the capital, but his foundation was not stable, and he urgently needed Kuang Zuo, a good minister, in order to gain a firm foothold. But he was notorious, and no one of the known would come to his aid.
At a young age, the general bravely won the three armies and won the title of 'the world's first brave general', but he was not reused in the state army. So Mrs. Dong has his eyes on you, and he wants to take you under his command and use you for his own use.
At that time, I was very excited to be sent to contact you. Although this was a task assigned by the superiors, he always admired the general in his heart and regarded the general as his example. Being able to fight with the general and break out of the world in this troubled era is also the wish of the humble duty. Regardless of whether the general will be able to negotiate with the general as I wish, I feel honored to be humble!
It's just that I didn't expect that a lobbying would become what it was later!"
Li Su sighed deeply, as if he was extremely regretful. He lowered his head and put his hand on his forehead, as if to calm his mind. After a moment, he continued.
"Humble knows that you are a famous general, and you must love BMW the most. So I asked Mrs. Dong for a thousand miles of BMW Chitu, plus some other treasures for you to bring over. I thought that even if you didn't agree, you would be able to make some friends with the general. Unexpectedly, Dong Taiwei had other arrangements, which directly led to the death of your father-in-law at that time, Ding Tingshi. โ
When Li Su said this, his voice was low, as if he was very sad.
He described himself as a fan of Lu Bu, taking all the good aspects on himself, and pushing the bad things on Dong Zhuo. Dong Zhuo, Dong Zhuo, don't blame me, you forced me!
Li Su secretly squinted at Lu Bu with his eyes, and saw that he was staring at him with round eyes, so he hurriedly withdrew his gaze, rubbed his eyes with his hands, rubbed his eyes red, and complained in a sad and indignant tone: "What is even more unacceptable to me is that Taiwei Dong also secretly detained the death of Ding Tingshi on the head of the general, and maliciously spread it everywhere, so that you will be insulted and laughed at by the world!"
"You mean, he did this too?" Lu Bu asked in shock.
No wonder he was surprised, although he knew that someone had maliciously spread the rumor that he had killed his father-in-law Ding Yuan for the sake of Chitu Ma, he never thought that Dong Zhuo had done it.
"Yes!" Li Su nodded solemnly. This matter was indeed done by Dong Zhuo, but the idea was his. But he will never let Lu Bu know his real role in this matter, so let Dong Zhuo carry the black pot!
"I didn't know it at the time, and I went to talk to you with joy. But I didn't expect that Mrs. Dong arranged a backhand, and he asked people to notify Ding Tingshi when you were negotiating with your humble position, saying that you were going to defect. Ding Tingshi rushed to the scene in a rage, and was going to kill you and his humble position if he didn't say a word. You are unwilling to fight with Ding Tingshi, and you can't do it, so you can only be forced to draw your sword to resist.
At that time, he had been poured a lot of wine, and it was when his temper was violent, and there were soft tendons under the wine, and the โกโก of blood sealing his throat was secretly wiped on his lowly knife. These are all things that the lowly position learned later.
Ding Thorn Shi is a strong martial artist, how could he be killed by a lowly mistake in three or two strokes? Besides, the lowly stabbing of him was not a vital place, but only a flesh wound. But Ding Tingshi actually died like this. Later, he secretly investigated, only to find out the clue and know the whole thing.
The humble position learned in advance that although Ding Tingshi was commensurate with you as father and son, he was not good to you. It's just that he is your nominal father-in-law after all, and he is afraid that you will blame me, so he has always wanted to tell you the truth, but he doesn't dare to say it. โ
Li Su peeked at Lu Bu, and when he saw that he looked like he had listened to him, he was secretly happy in his heart, and continued to say with a sad and indignant look.
"Later, Taiwei Dong said that a hero like you, which prince from all sides does not want to recruit? You have to find a way for you to stay with him, and you can't go anywhere else. After that, he pinned the death of Ding Tingshi on you and ruined your reputation.
After the news spread, the princes of all walks of life felt that it was impossible for them to subdue a man who could kill even their own father-in-law for the sake of a famous horse, and they did not dare to solicit you again, but instead criticized you. You have nowhere to go, and there is only one way out to stay and serve by the side of Captain Dong. โ
When Lu Bu heard this, he finally came to his senses. Li Su's words may not be fully believed, but it should not be far from ten. Dong Zhuo did this, and he really cut off all his back roads, so that he could only follow him.
It's vile and cunning!
With the way Ding Yuan treated him, the two of them were only in name, and there was no need to talk about any affection, and there was no need for him to avenge Ding Yuan. But no one would like a person like Dong Zhuo who is scheming to calculate himself to this role.
The relationship between this righteous father and son is their unilateral statement, and he just hasn't refuted it. Originally, there was no friendship to talk about, but now that Lu Bu knew about Dong Zhuo, he hated him even more.
Li Su quietly observed Lu Bu's expression and was greatly relieved to see that he didn't mean to be angry with himself for Ding Yuan.
