Ever since I went to the palace.

After Lu Bu finished his duty every time, in addition to the casino, he also had one more palace in the place he fixed.

Such a day is the envy of all men.

The red flag at home does not fall, the colorful flags flutter outside the house, Miss Dong San is as gentle and considerate as ever, diligent and thrifty, and governs the Lu Mansion properly, while Ren Hongchang in the palace gives Lu Bu a pleasure and stimulation that he has never experienced.

For Lu Bu, an exotic, Ren Hongchang should also be regarded as exotic.

Just like that, there are two gentle townships, one on the left and one on the right, so that Lu Bu can't help but indulge in it, and before he knows it, he didn't have the time to inspect the work on duty at night.

And the negligence of the guards also made the guards focus only on protection, protecting Dong Zhuo and the core figures of the Xiliang Army, and as for other surveillance, they naturally relaxed their guards.

However, it is not known whether they naturally relaxed, or whether someone instructed them to relax.

From the moment Lu Bu entered the casino for the first time, this game brewing in Chang'an had already begun, and at present, from the bright side, Dong Zhuofang seemed to be at a disadvantage.

However, the game itself is a matter of victory and defeat, and it seems that they are at a disadvantage at this time, which does not mean that they have no means of countermeasures.

"How's things going?"

A person sits alone in front of his desk, holding up his pen and ink, as if he is planning something, but it is not difficult to see the relationship diagrams and layouts written on his desk.

"The first floor."

"Second floor."

"The fifth floor."

It's all interlocking, it's really amazing.

I have to say that this guy knows at a glance that he is also a mille-feuille, and he has his own views and insights on the control and analysis of the situation, and has a unique analysis method.

"Master, everything is going well, the abolished emperor is operating, and he is expected to flee Chang'an tonight."

"Very well, it is best to arrange it properly."

The man replied to his subordinates without raising his head, but what he said later was not for his subordinates, and his subordinates were also old men who had followed him for many years, and did not talk much, but silently withdrew himself.

"This plan can only be successful, not defeated."

"Let the deposed emperor escape to Yuan Shao's hands unharmed, so that Yuan Shao has the qualifications and confidence to be among the top princes."

The top princes must have enough strength and henchmen, and at least control the land of a state.

And above this threshold, only the princes who have the orthodoxy and righteousness can be truly called the top princes.

For example, today's top princes are none other than Dong Zhuo, Liu Bei, Liu Biao, and Liu Yan, and the rest, such as Cao Cao, although he holds the Empress Dowager He and has a trace of orthodoxy, he does not have enough strength to support his princes.

And although Liu Yu is highly respected in Youzhou, he met the ruthless brother Gongsun Zhan, so he is still a top prince on the line.

Now that Yuan Shao is about to take Jizhou, and give him an orthodox name, Yuan Shao will be able to instantly rank among the top princes and become a vital part of this world.

"Then we have a chance."

The man put down the pen in his hand and returned to the couch to rest, this time the opponent he faced was a little complicated, so he couldn't help staying up all night, but this feeling was still very comfortable.

He enjoyed the feeling of challenge, the brain-burning inference.

Some people may think that this person planned to let the Han Emperor escape to Yuan Shao.

Then he is a royalist person, or Yan Ren's person.

But it's neither.

He is Li Ru.

A so-called mastermind of the injured party in the matter.

But in fact, Liu Bei is promoting, and Dong Zhuo is also promoting.

Li Ru is a mille-feuille.

If Chen Chen's purpose of planning to let Yuan Shao also coerce the Son of Heaven to order the princes, in the long run, the three orthodoxy will be scattered, and the Empress Dowager He, Liu Xie, and Liu Biantian will each other, and then tilt against each other, causing the orthodoxy to fall, so that Liu Bei can get the opportunity.

Li Ru's plan is to make Yuan Shao rise quickly and become a big nail in the north.

Although it is said that Dong Zhuo killed the Yuan family, if Yuan Shao started in Jizhou, he would not have been able to touch Dong Zhuo at all.

And there is a Liu Bei in the middle, Yuan Shao wants to go west for revenge, and he has to pass Liu Bei's pass first, and Liu Bei himself is one of the biggest threats that Li Ru attaches great importance to, if Yuan Shao can rise, then if there is a strong enough neighbor, Liu Bei must not dare to start a full-scale war with Dong Zhuo.

Because once the war starts, the rear camp is empty, and it will be finished if Yuan Shao steals his house.

And the forces in the north are relatively strong, the relationship is complicated, only in Jizhou to tie a strong nail, so that Gongsun Chan has no way to meet Liu Bei, then the north will not be able to be unified in a short period of time, with Liu Yu, Gongsun Zhan, Yuan Shao and Liu Bei in the north, strong and strong duel, can ensure the stability of the situation to a certain extent.

Dong Zhuo no longer has the idea of fighting the princes with the strength of an army at this time, he wants to enjoy the old age well, govern Chang'an and Xiliang well, and then take over by Lu Bu, so if the entire Han can maintain a certain degree of division and stability, it is the best situation for Dong Zhuo.

That's why Li Ru chose to deliberately let go of the deposed emperor Liu Wei after seeing through and learning about the royalist plan.

even specially arranged for someone to quietly and secretly assist Liu Wei in escaping.

If you are a person who does not know the truth, you will wonder if Li Ru is a spy in a spy, but in fact, he is a royalist?

But in fact, Li Ru also understood that Liu Xie would definitely use this opportunity to attack Dong Zhuo, and the point of this impact would be on Lu Bu.

Because now in the Xiliang Army, Lu Bu's prestige is increasing day by day, he has the strength of the god of war that is unparalleled in the world, and he has a respected prestige in the army, if he replaces Dong Zhuo, then there should be no riot in the Xiliang Army.

And in Liu Xie's opinion, Lu Bu has no way to advance at this time, and he has always been pressed by Dong Zhuo as a bodyguard in the Xiliang Army, right?

Therefore, they felt that a high-minded and arrogant person like Lu Bu would not be willing to send someone under the fence, so they wanted to cooperate with Lu Bu.

For these ideas, Li Ru has long had a good way to deal with them.

After all, how could Liu Xie understand that Dong Zhuo had already planned to cultivate Lu Bu as his next heir, and had already begun to implement it.

And he more or less revealed it to Lu Bu.

Although Lu Bu is fierce and aggressive, he feels that he only has the courage of a horseman.

But in fact, this wolf from the grassland is not so simple, he is more often just not used to the cultural habits of the Central Plains.

Li Ru was deeply touched by this when he personally guided Lu Bu.

Lu Bu's head is quite bright, and he can understand it at one point.

However, the differences in cultural understanding are indeed quite different because of the problem of the growing environment.

At this point, Li Ru also tried his best to help Lu Bu correct it, and Lu Bu's progress was also very fast.

The force is unparalleled in the world, and the head is occasionally bright.

This is the reason why Li Ru really thinks that Lu Bu can assist, and he is alone, just surnamed Lu, but there is no shackles of the family, and now that he has joined the Dong family, he has become Dong Zhuo's son.

Li Ru felt that Lu Bu and Dong Zhuo fit his needs as well.

The old mille-feuille Li Ru gave a plan and arrangement, so that no one could see it clearly.

And Dong Zhuo trusted him enough, so he naturally let him operate boldly, and Dong Zhuo even said that even if Li Ru killed the two little emperors, he would help him carry it.

Dong Zhuo gave trust like this, and the more Li Ru held back his strength to do things well.

So his judgment on the table, Liu Wei was on the first level, he only knew that he was going to run away and leave, but he didn't know all the effects that he would bring after he left, or he also saw it, but he was weak and afraid.

Liu Xie is on the second layer, he knows how to use Liu Wei, and hides himself behind the scenes, hoping to be able to use others as guns in front of him to solve problems, but Liu Xie is too self-righteous and has no way to distinguish the difference between his own cleverness and the wisdom of strategic thinking.

And Li Ru felt that the family was on the third layer, because they wanted to bet on both ends, and while helping Liu Xie, they also secretly let some less outstanding children follow Liu Wei to leave, while he was loyal to Dong Zhuo on the surface, and these families have always been like this.

Do not put eggs in a basket.

In fact, when he thought of this, Li Ru felt uncomfortable.

In order to plan the game, in order to calculate the world, he gambled everything, as long as he lost, then he was really nothing, and it was difficult to save his life.

But the people of these families regard this kind of thing as an investment, and they have that kind of profiteer face.

It is with this shameless and selfish means that they monopolize and break the steps of promotion inch by inch.

They felt that Liu Wei would lose, Liu Association would lose, Dong Zhuo would also lose, and only they could win.

Li Ru sneered, he looked at the ceiling above his bed, and seemed to see endless darkness.

In this incident, he wanted to let the family know that the result of pleasing both ends could only be that neither end was pleasing either.

I have to say that when Li Ru treats the family, he will always go in an extreme direction, which may be related to his experience, no one knows how much he hates the family.

And the fourth layer, in Li Ru's view, is the black hand hidden under Chang'an and constantly promoting the development of events.

He didn't know who this black hand was, but he had already discovered his existence, and he was also waiting for this black hand to strike again, so that he could have a chance to chop off this black hand with a knife.

The reason why this black hand is on the fourth layer and himself is on the fifth layer.

It is because Li Ru feels that he has successfully discovered the person hidden in the dark, and the situation that was originally dark and clear has been reversed, and he has done this, and he has not let the other party find out that he has discovered the other party, then he is successful, and it is naturally the fifth layer.

It's a mille-feuille.

Really, Li Ru's gambling skills have reached a height to a certain extent.

He disdains to use bells and whistles for concatenation and reasoning, he prefers to use simple and crude layering analysis.

"By the way, go and call Wen He and see what he thinks."

Li Ru suddenly turned over and got up, he felt that there seemed to be a little mistake in his analysis of this mille-feuille, but he couldn't think of it for a while.

In line with the principle that the authorities are fascinated and the bystanders are clear, Li Ru felt that he should let Jia Xu help take a look.

Although the old turtle was paddling and pretending to be dead every day, he did everything but work.

But the strength is still real, if it weren't for Jia Xu telling Li Ru that if he forced himself, he would hang himself, Li Ru really wanted to tie up Jia Xu and squeeze him.

Although Li Ru also knew that Jia Xu was so life-sparing, it was impossible for him to hang himself.

"Yes, sir."

The servant received Li Ru's order, did not pause, and hurried to Jia Xu's house to invite Jia Xu to come to Li Ru's house to talk in detail, Li Ru also went out of the house, and put wine in the tea pavilion in the courtyard, waiting for Jia Xu to come over to quench his thirst.

Except for Lao Jia, who doesn't work and grinds foreign workers, everything else is still very good.

Li Ru waited for a long time, and the sky changed a little, but he still didn't wait for Jia Xu's arrival.

Didn't even wait for the arrival of his own servants.

He had some doubts in his heart, according to the normal progress of the journey, at this time, let alone Jia Xu could go to his house.

It's enough for Jia Xu to go back and forth between his own house and his house several times.

But it hasn't arrived yet, and the servant who has always been sensible and punctual has not returned.

Thinking about it, Li Ru felt that it was not good, so he asked Lu Bu to take someone to Jia Xu's house to check the situation, and he also prepared a carriage to go to Jia's mansion.

Li Ru's people got Lu Bu in the palace.

Today he thought about Ren Hongchang very tightly, so he went straight to the palace not long after gambling in the casino, because he had to go home early today to help his eldest wife, Miss Dong San, deal with some housework.

Sure enough, he is a good man who loves his wife?

Uh-huh?

Unexpectedly, when he was still with Ren Hongchang, Lu Bu was called out of Gentle Township, originally impatient, but when he heard that it was Li Ru who was summoned, and that someone in the Xiliang army was missing, Lu Bu reacted and became nervous.

In Ren Hongchang's reluctant eyes, Lu Bu hurriedly left to run errands.

"It seems that the plan has already started and is going well."

After Lu Bu left, Wang Yun suddenly appeared behind Ren Hongchang, who was standing at the door of the house and looking at the direction of Lu Bu's departure, and he said coldly.

"Huh?"

Hongchang's face turned crimson, his eyes were a little flustered, and then he pretended to be calm.

Wang Yun felt that his daughter's state was not quite right, but he was an old single dog, and he didn't understand this aspect, so he could only ask tentatively.

"You don't really like him, do you?"

"How is that possible!"

Seeing her daughter flee back to the house, Wang Yun's face was strange.

..............................

"So ...... put it that way"

"Jia Wen and his family were kidnapped, and my family was killed?"

Li Ru glared in disbelief and grabbed the collar of the officer who had inspected the scene in front of him, and roared.

"Brother-in-law is angry, brother-in-law is angry."

Lu Bu reluctantly stepped forward to dissuade him.

Who would have thought that?

The servant sent by Li Ru to invite Jia Xu was killed, but Jia Xu's family was gone, and judging by the situation in his family, he should have been kidnapped and left.

This kind of thing happened in the territory of Chang'an, and it was indeed Lu Bu's dereliction of duty.

Because it's not part of their anti-chain scheme.
