After living in the mountains of Bingzhou for a few days, Liu Zhan took Li Yan and Yan Yun to Yingchuan. In terms of the resettlement of the house, Liu Zhan placed the courtyards of Li Yan, Lu Zhi, and Cai Yong on the edge of the palace, and the houses of the three were close to each other. In this way, it is not only convenient for the three of them to move around each other, but it is also convenient for Cai Yan and Guo Xin to go back to their parents' house one day. Liu Zhan originally intended to let Li Yan and Cai Yan live in the palace, but the two elders didn't agree, and Liu Zhan had no choice but to give up.

Back to the thirty swordsmen in Yingchuan, Liu Zhan directly placed them in the swordsman academy. First, these swordsmen can be instructors, and second, as a concentration point for swordsmen, this is also the home of swordsmen, and the academy has all kinds of objects and equipment.

After the three elders came to Yingchuan, the first person to visit turned out to be Liu Bei.

After the first visit, Liu Bei ran to the third elder's house when he had nothing to do, especially Li Yan's house, Liu Bei basically went every day.

The sudden flattery made Li Yan inexplicable. Li Yan had no choice but to find Liu Zhan and tell him about Liu Bei's visit.

After Liu Zhan heard this, he shook his head and said in his heart: Such a blatant digging into people's corners? It seems that Liu Bei doesn't want to stay in Yingchuan for a long time.

After thinking about it for a while, Liu Zhan told Li Yan, 'It's just perfunctory, if you don't want to see it, you can't see it.' ’

……

Luoyang.

On this day, Dong Zhuo completely took He Jin and the cavalry general He Miao as his own, and he was in a good mood, so he took people to the palace, and he wanted to see the beauty of the emperor - Empress Dowager He.

Dong Zhuo and his party were about to walk in the direction of the palace gate, when a nine-foot-long armorer stopped in front: "Stop!" ”

Well?

Dong Zhuo looked at the halberd in the hand of the armorer, and his face was displeased: "Who are you?" Do you know who the old man is? ”

"I don't know. Without the warrant of Lord Ding, no one is allowed to approach the palace gate for a hundred steps. ”

The armor shook the halberd in his hand and said coldly.

"How can this be true? Call you, Lord Ding, to see the old man. Dong Zhuo scolded, and he was about to have a seizure. After entering Luoyang City, Dong Zhuo followed Li Ru's strategy, and took all the subordinates of the He Jin brothers under his command without much effort, and his power rose sharply, and all the officials in the court bowed their heads when they saw Dong Zhuo. Today's meeting, how can Dong Zhuo not get angry?

The armor's eyes narrowed slightly, and he stood motionless and did not speak.

"Come on! Kill the old man! ”

Dong Zhuo raised his hand and waved, and the soldiers behind him swarmed up......

"Be on guard! Those who are close to the palace gate for a hundred steps will be killed! ”

The armor soldier did not show weakness, and with an order, the halberd in his hand shook a few times defiantly, and the killing machine was released.

"Wait!" A voice sounded from Dong Zhuo's side.

Dong Zhuo turned to look at the scribe beside him: "Li Ru, what do you have to say?" ”

Li Ru arched his hand, approached Dong Zhuo, and said in his ear: "Rashly storming the palace is not good for the general's reputation, please think twice about it." ”

"So what do you say?"

Dong Zhuo said angrily.

"General, let Confucianism come forward to inquire a few words, and then make a plan."

Li Ru arched his hand and walked towards the armor soldier, and not far from the armor soldier, Li Ru bowed his hand: "Dare to ask this general's surname?" ”

"Lu Bu."

The armor said nonchalantly.

"Oh, Lord Ding in General Lu's mouth, but Ding Yuan, the ruling Jinwu?"

Li Ru asked with a smile on his face.

"Exactly."

The sound of "general" made Lu Bu's heart feel very happy, and his complexion eased a lot.

"When I heard about the general's prestige, I saw it today and it was really extraordinary." Li Ru arched his hand towards Lu Bu and turned to Dong Zhuo. "Bothering the general."

"Hmm."

Lu Bu responded arrogantly.

Returning to Dong Zhuo, he said in a low voice: "General, what Confucianism expected, this person is Ding Yuan's subordinate. ”

Dong Zhuo's eyes lit up, and he said, "How many soldiers and horses are there under Ding Yuan?" ”

"Twenty thousand." Li Ru arched his hand and said, "General, this matter must be considered in the long run, and you can't break through it." ”

"Wenyou, let's go, come back another day."

Dong Zhuo didn't twist, raised his hand and waved, and led the people away.

"Hmph, something!" Lu Bu took back Fang Tian's painting halberd and spat at the back of Dong Zhuo and the others.

Back at the house, Dong Zhuo sat on the mat with a golden knife and said, "Wen You, think about it, how to get rid of Na Ding Yuan." ”

"......" Li Ru pondered for a long time and said, "General, Confucianism and Ding Yuan have a righteous son, named Lu Bu, who has the courage to be unstoppable. ”

"How is Bihuaxiong?"

"Huaxiong is to Lu Bu, like the light of rice grains is to the light of the bright moon."

A smile flashed on Li Ru's face and he arched his hand.

"Oh? Where is this person now? We must attract such talents. ”

Dong Zhuo's eyes lit up.

"It's the armorer patrolling in front of the palace gate."

Dong Zhuo laughed: "Such a warrior is really wasted to be used by Ding Yuan like this." ”

"General, Confucianism heard that Lu Bu loves good horses, beautiful women, and good money."

"Whatever he likes, the old man will give him anything, haha, the old man doesn't believe that he can come!"

Dong Zhuo smiled confidently.

"Good!" Li Ru arched his hand and said, "General, for the sake of insurance, can you ...... that red rabbit horse?"

"Uh-huh!" Dong Zhuo groaned and gritted his teeth and said.

"Confucianism does not disgrace its mission! Please wait for the good news. Li Ru arched his hand and turned to leave.

……

Just when Dong Zhuo returned home, Cao Cao sat up from the phoenix couch of the Empress Dowager He, with a satisfied face.

"General, I don't know when I will be able to find Bian'er, for so many days, there is no trace of Bian'er, how can the mourning family live......"

Empress Dowager He pulled up a light yarn and a corner to cover the critical parts of her body, and lay on Cao Cao's back and cried softly.

"Hehe, don't worry, the queen mother, if something happens to the emperor, he will definitely see the corpse. A certain person has already searched Luoyang City, and he has not seen the emperor's corpse, so he expected that the emperor was fine, but he didn't know where he was for a while. ”

Cao Cao smiled, turned around and hugged Empress Dowager He in his arms, and comforted.

"But ......"

"Okay, if there is so-and-so, the emperor will definitely not be found, and the queen mother just needs to wait in the palace with peace of mind."

Cao Cao got up and began to get dressed.

"General, it's better to ...... Don't leave today, mourn the family alone, afraid ......"

Empress Dowager He wiped her tears, and she was touching.

"Hehe, this can't be helped, I still have to look for the emperor, and I can't stay in the palace for too long. Doesn't the Queen Mother also want to find the emperor soon? ”

Cao Cao walked out as he spoke, leaving and winking at Empress Dowager He.

"General, token...... Forgot to take the token. ”

Empress Dowager He picked up the token from the corner of the phoenix couch. The token was specially given to Cao Cao by the Empress Dowager He when Cao Cao first came to Empress Dowager He. At that time, Ding Yuan's men had not yet arrived. Now, with Lu Bu guarding the palace gate, it is not possible to do without a token.
