Chapter 28 [000] Interlude: Night Rain
Half a month after Dong Zhuo entered Beijing, Luoyang City.
The sky was overcast, and from time to time there was the roar of a string of rolling thunder. Diao Chan closed the open wooden window and picked up a piece of chicken tongue incense and put it into the incense burner to replace the burnt crumbs.
After doing this qiฤ, Diao Chan slowly walked to the curtain and knelt down in front of the hanging curtain, she bowed respectfully to the person behind the curtain, and a sweet fragrance wafted out of the breeze from the water cuff.
The person opposite was drinking tea, and when he saw Diao Chan coming to worship, he gently put the tea cup on the small table at hand: "Miss Hongchang, I haven't seen you for a long time." โ
"Don't dare to disturb adults at will."
Diao Chan's voice is very gentle, like a pulsating autumn water in the moonlight. The man thought that he would not indulge in women at his age, especially the girl opposite was almost the age of his daughter, but his heart inevitably rippled when Diao Chan spoke.
Soon the man came back to his senses, and he said, "The prince has already accepted you into the mansion, and the next thing is up to you to control." โ
"I understand." Diao Chan nodded lightly: "Lord Wang is very worried about what Taishi Dong has done in Luoyang, I will find an opportunity to recommend myself to him." โ
The two fell silent, and the atmosphere in the room was a little frozen for a while. The man watched through the overlapping gauze tent as a light smoke slowly lit from the incense burner scattered enchantingly in the room, with a vague aroma, which touched people's hearts.
Diao Chan sat upright behind the gauze tent, she didn't have the slightest irregular movements, but even if she sat so upright, it still made people look at a ...... A faint pity for the weak.
The man suddenly said, "If you don't want to...... It's too late to leave. โ
Diao Chan was slightly stunned, and then she smiled slowly: "Lord Yang, the grace of saving your life and the love of nurturing you can't repay it, you can only do your best, and I hope that your adult will not refuse." โ
Since Diao Chan was so determined, the man didn't say anything more, he just told Diao Chan to be careful, and then got up and said goodbye and left.
It was a long, long time after the man left, Diao Chan slowly got up according to the table, her slender and beautiful fingers slowly stretched out under the wide sleeved robe, and she held a sharp and beautiful dagger in her palm.
"I hope it won't be used for your day."
Diao Chan looked at his palm, which was as smooth as new, and muttered softly.
The torrential rain finally poured down, crackling and slamming on the eaves, staining the world in a fog.
Three months after Dong Zhuo entered Beijing, Luoyang City.
"Uh...... I'm sorry Miss Diao, this is my daughter, she has to pester me to come along......"
Lu Bu touched his head with one hand, and gently pushed the little girl shrunk in front of him in the direction of Diao Chan with the other. Diao Chan looked at the child who was looking at him timidly, and then looked at Lu Bu who was worried about his face, and a strange feeling suddenly rose in his heart.
This man is usually so majestic and invincible in front of others, everyone is afraid of him, and he doesn't bother to say anything to anyone except Zhang Liao and Gao Shun. But this is such a person, when facing Diao Chan, he looks like a hairy boy who has just fallen in love, clumsily and clumsily doesn't know what to do, and today he actually brought his daughter over.
But looking at Lu Bu like this, Diao Chan was not angry at all, she smiled slightly, picked a beautiful bead flower from between her buns, and then squatted down in front of the little girl and put the bead flower on her head.
"Alright." Diao Chan touched the little girl's long hair: "It's so beautiful." โ
The little girl cautiously raised her hand to touch the ornament on the hairpin that Diao Chan had helped her, and there was an obvious look of surprise on her face.
"What's your name?" Diao Chan gently twisted the tip of the little girl's nose.
"My name is Lingqi!"
The little girl smiled sweetly at Diao Chan, and that smile was the same as Lu Bu.
"Yo, Diao Chan girl is really a national beauty!"
Dong Zhuo leaned lazily on the screen, and a pair of eyes moved slowly along Diao Chan's placket as if they had hooks, eager to tear off her clothes on the spot. Diao Chan hung her head and stood beside Wang Yun, as if she couldn't see Dong Zhuo's desire โกโก at all, she was thinking wildly in her mind......
I think of Lu Lingqi's sweet smile, and I think of Lu Bu's stupid caution when he put the rabbit in the palm of her hand.
โโฆโฆ Then since this is the case, there will be more kings! โ
Dong Zhuo's sharp laughter pulled Diao Chan's thoughts back, Wang Yun handed her a worried look, and Diao Chan shook her head gently.
Oops. Diao Chan sent Dong Zhuo out of the palace, and thought silently, I seem to be ...... this time It's planted.
Six months after Dong Zhuo entered Beijing, the night before he abandoned the city and fled, Luoyang City.
Wang Yue handed the sealed secret letter to Shi A: "You take this letter and escort Liu Junlang's son Liu Jiyu to find an opportunity to escape from the guard of Dong Thief and go to his fifth brother Liu Shangyu, who came to Luoyang to participate in the alliance. โ
Shi Ah nodded, and carefully put the secret letter into his arms.
โโฆโฆ His Majesty doesn't trust Liu Junlang, you take a good look at Liu Shangyu. Wang Yue was silent for a moment and then said seriously: "Take a good look at Liu Shangyu." โ
Shi A was a little surprised why his master would say a sentence twice, maybe it was very important, right? He thought, so Shi Ah decided to meet the legendary Liu Shangyu to see what his ability was and whether it was worth the royal family's trust.
Seeing Shi A's back disappear into the night, Wang Yue sighed lightly and tightened his clothes.
Dong Zhuo's Xiliang Iron Cavalry quietly surrounded Wang Yun's mansion in the middle of the night, looking at the fierce soldiers who broke into the house, Diao Chan's first reaction was that the matter was revealed.
She quietly clenched the dagger hidden in her sleeve, obediently let the soldiers push her into the open space in front of the courtyard, and saw Dong Zhuo's face smiling fiercely at her through the blazing torches.
Wang Yun was arguing, he defended that he had no two hearts, he had no intention of marrying one daughter and two people, and he didn't know that Lu Bu had fallen in love with Diao Chan and asked Dong Zhuo for forgiveness. However, Dong Zhuo, who usually looks very good and foolish, stood there so coldly today to watch Wang Yun act.
After a while, Wang Yun finally ran out of words, he looked at Dong Zhuo, and showed a sneer: "If you want to kill or chop, whatever you want." โ
"I won't kill you for the time being-" The long knife in Dong Zhuo's hand was attached to Wang Yun's neck, he turned his head to look at Wang Yun, and showed a strange smile: "On the contrary, I want to take you to Chang'an, I want to see what kind of person you are looking for." โ
Wang Yun's face turned as white as paper in an instant.
Wang Yun was pushed away with his mouth covered, and Dong Zhuo came to Diao Chan's face, and Diao Chan looked at him without saying a word.
"Were you forced?" Dong Zhuo may be in a good mood, but he even asked more.
Thinking of Lu Lingqi's smile and Lu Bu's stupid ...... Diao Chan shook his head.
"Give you a chance." Dong Zhuo's face sank: "Diao Chan girl, don't be stupid. โ
Diao Chan still shook her head.
"I won't kill you either." Dong Zhuo took a deep breath, as if he wanted to control his anger that would be vented immediately, he suddenly raised his hand and slapped Diao Chan hard, beating Diao Chan to his knees and feeling dizzy and tinnitus: "You just give me a good introspection in prison...... I, Dong Zhongying, have no shortage of women, and I don't have to be you. โ
The soldier carried Diao Chan away, Diao Chan looked in a trance, and just wanted to scold his mother: Who said that Dong Zhongying was pitying Xiang Xiang and cherishing jade? , it's so dark.
Diao Chan hung her head and was dragged forward by the soldiers, and when she passed the arch of the hanging flowers, she caught a glimpse of a man who was out of step with Dong Zhuo's soldiers leaning against the wall with his arms and looking up at the moon.
"Wenhe, it's really yours." Li Ru walked past Diao Chan's side, stood still in front of Jia Xu, and looked at him and smiled like a flower: "Endure until you are about to leave, presumably the news of the old puppet of the prince division has already been sent, right?" โ
Jia Xu retracted his gaze staring at the moon in a daze, and bowed respectfully to Li Ru: "Where, the adults are laughing, I just put forward my own opinions, or the adults are aware of everything and discovered Wang Yun's serial scheme." โ
"You're a humble person." Li Ru patted Jia Xu on the shoulder: "But it's a good thing for young people to be modest." โ
Jia Xu still looked respectful: "Thank you for your advice." โ
"We just have to wait to find out who is so bold and dares to make trouble." Li Ru touched his chin: "Do you want to gamble?" I guess it's Yuan Benchu. โ
Jia Xu's eyes flashed slightly: "I think it's ...... Maybe it's Liu Yu, after all, this is a serious royal family. โ
"Haha! Then see how it turns out! โ
Seven months after Dong Zhuo entered Beijing, Chang'an City.
"It turned out to be him...... Liu Junlang? What a daring! Dong Zhuo slammed the wine bottle on the ground, and the people on both sides lowered their heads, not daring to look at him.
"Good...... Good! I don't want him to trouble Yizhou, he comes to find my bad luck! Dong Zhuo sneered: "I remember that Liu Junlang seems to have two sons in Chang'an City, right?" โ
Dong Zhuo looked at Li Dao who was standing on the side: "Do you know what to do?" โ
Li Dao curled the corners of his lips: "Don't worry, don't let them find any traces." โ
Dong Zhuo, who calmed down, asked Li Ru: "What idea do you say Liu Junlang played?" โ
Li Ru involuntarily glanced at Jia Xu, and found that he was standing at the end in a daze, so he leaned into Dong Zhuo's ear and whispered: "The Hanzhong rebellion is a pretense, Liu Junlang wants to fight Chang'an, there are only two ways from Hanzhong to Guanzhong, I guess they want to take the oblique valley road." โ
"Oh? Why? Dong Zhuo was puzzled: "Isn't the Meridian Road closer?" โ
"What's the use of being close?" Li Ru smiled: "They are no more than 30,000 horses, even if they are all put into the pass, what waves can they afford?" I'm afraid that we will close the door and beat the dog. The valley is different, where it is ...... away from Sanguan."
Li Ru was halfway through his words, Dong Zhuo had already understood what he meant, and his face became more and more gloomy: "Ma Shoucheng and Han Wenyue also came to join in the fun?" โ
"Come on! Don't leave when you come! โ
Everyone else left, leaving only Li Ru and Dong Zhuo.
Dong Zhuo looked at Li Ru and sighed: "Since I arrived in Chang'an, I feel that the way Feng Xian looked at me was wrong. โ
Li Ru sighed in his heart, and hurriedly asked, "Then do you want Diao Chan girl?" Or do you want to be bong-first? โ
Dong Zhuo glanced at Li Ru obliquely: "What do I mean, you don't understand?" โ
"That's easy to do." Li Ru said confidently: "Just send him to guard Xieyu Pass." โ
"Give him military power?" Dong Zhuo frowned.
"What about giving it to him." Li Ru smiled slightly: "Anyway, the state army doesn't listen to your command, does it?" Then let's follow Lu Feng to die first, and save you from dirty hands. โ
Dong Zhuo suddenly realized: "Oh...... What do you mean......"
"The relationship between Wencai and Fengxian has never been very good." Li Ru thought for a while and added, "In order to prevent the two of them from mistaking business because of the fight, I think you should send Yiming over together." โ
"Done! Just listen to you! โ
What Dong Zhuo praised next, Li Ru didn't hear it, all he thought in his heart was:
Javin and this man...... Shall I get rid of him?
Let's keep it for now, it's still useful to keep it.
Li Ru, who was laughing with Dong Zhuo, made up his mind.
"I'm a little flustered, I think I'm going to die."
Jia Xu poured himself a glass of wine, and he held the wine glass and turned it around, watching a flower fall from the glass.
The young man sitting opposite Jia Xu rolled his eyes: "Come on, uncle, will you die?" โ
"I don't want to die, so I have to do something." Jia Xu drank the wine, wiped his lips with his sleeve, and said to the young man, "Help me pass a message to your father." โ
The young man showed a vigilant look, like an alert little beast: "Tsk, who knows if what you said is true or false, what if you take the bait?" โ
Jia Xuxin said, do I still need to calculate you?
"Then you can help me send a letter to the head office in Yizhou, right? I wrote it myself, is that evidence? Glancing at the young man, Jia Xu suddenly smiled and said, "Hmm...... You've been such a ghost since you were a child, and you must be an amazing character when you grow up. โ
"Hmph, of course, and I'm already grown!" The young man pouted dissatisfiedly: "Liu Shangyu can be the commander of Guanghan County when he is sixteen years old, and I can too." โ
Jia Xuwaner: "Okay, okay, Yang Gongzi, you can too." โ
Yang Xiu put the letter in his sleeve and made sure that no one would find out before leaving the tavern.
A moment later, Yang Biao pushed the door and entered.
"Jia Wenhe." Yang Biao squinted at him: "Okay, very good." โ
"Thank you Lord Yang for your compliment, I deserve it." Jia Xu took a new cup and filled it with wine, and respectfully pushed it in front of Yang Biao: "I hope that the adults will carry me a lot." โ
"What exactly do you want to do?" Yang Biao didn't touch it, he frowned: "What the hell are you-"
"Lord Yang." Jia Xu showed a helpless look: "I just want to live." โ
"Whether it's under Dong Zhongying, or under His Majesty, or someone else......"
"I just want to live well."
"But now you've messed it up." Yang Biao suddenly sighed, the sharp look on his face disappeared, and the person seemed to be much older in an instant: "There is no way to ...... anymore"
"No, there's still a chance." Jia Xu said lightly: "Only one person is needed." โ
"Who?" Yang Biao stared at Jia Xu's face.
"Diao Chan."
"Just find an opportunity to send her to see Lu Fengxian, let her sue Lu Fengxian, the Taishi killed her father-in-law, and he will kill Lu Fengxian."
"That's enough."
