Chapter 173: In Danger

"What?" Ding Yao covered her mouth in shock, her face was full of disbelief, she couldn't believe that her most trusted brother Lou Wu would be a traitor and do such a rebellious thing.

"Miss, it's true." Zhang was also very distressed when he saw Ding Yao's appearance, but he couldn't hide this kind of thing, so he simply made it clear.

immediately told Ding Yao everything she knew.

The more Ding Yao listened, the more silent she became, and finally sat on the edge of the bed without saying a word.

"Miss, miss, are you alright?" Zhang looked at Ding Yao's speechless appearance, and was a little worried in his heart.

Ding Yao forced a smile, "Auntie, I'm fine, I want to be quiet, can you let me stay by myself for a while?" ”

"That'...... Well, miss. You rest earlier. ”

After Zhang finished speaking, he withdrew from the room, and when he had dinner that night, Ding Yao refused to leave the house, but still asked Zhang to deliver the food to her house.

Early the next morning, Zhang made breakfast and sent it to Ding Yao's room.

suddenly found that Ding Yao was not in the room, and at first she thought that Ding Yao had gone to the craftsman camp, but until noon, Ding Yao never came back.

Zhang was in a hurry, and hurriedly ran to Wenhou's Mansion and told Diao Chan about the matter.

Diao Chan and Cai Wenji's two daughters are at home with Zhang Ning, who is in a bad mood, these days.

Hearing Zhang's words at this moment, he was immediately shocked.

"Sisters, where will Sister Ding Yao go at this time?" Cai Wenji was already a lady, but when she encountered this kind of thing, she panicked and asked anxiously.

Diao Chan was the most calm, and said: "It is very likely that she will go to Lou Wu, but she does not rule out the possibility of going to the craftsman camp." ”

Diao Chan lowered his head and thought for a while and said, "In this way, let's go separately to look for it, and while sending people to the craftsman camp, we will search inside and outside the city, especially on the road to Wujin Mountain." ”

"My lord, and the state is in a hurry." Dian Wei handed a secret letter to Lu Bu.

Lu Bu took the secret letter, opened it and looked at it carefully, his face was neither happy nor angry.

The letter is about Lou Wu's rebellion, which was actually expected by Lu Bu and Jia Xu for a long time, but Yuan Shao's sudden launch two days ago really gave him a headache.

Fortunately, after receiving the letter, Zhang Liao returned to Wuguan with Hongnong's people and supplies, and is now moving to Chang'an.

Tai Shici led 2,000 cavalry to harass Huang Zu's army, not only with great success, but also with a general and 3,000 foot soldiers and a lot of grain and grass.

Tai Shici's actions made Lu Bu overjoyed, Wei Yan Wei Wenchang, that is the general of Shu State, Liu Bei's rare wisdom and courage of the general.

Most of the people in the world were fooled by "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", thinking that Wei Yan had no outstanding ability except for his strong martial arts, and he also had bad intentions.

But in fact, in actual history, Wei Yan is a first-class military general who is both wise and brave, and proficient in all aspects of Wen Taowu.

Just one point, Liu Bei is famous for knowing how to use people well, and Wei Yan was appointed by him to guard Hanzhong.

What is Hanzhong? That is the throat of Xishu and the outside world, such a place can be said to be the lifeline of Shu, but Wei Yan came to protect it, and in the past ten years, there has not been a single mistake.

Later, with Zhuge Liang's Northern Expedition, he also made many military exploits.

Such a person can really be regarded as a general.

When Lu Bu heard that Tai Shici had recruited this person, the unhappiness of losing the four counties of Sizhou was immediately thrown out of the clouds.

Retracting his cranky thoughts, Lu Bu handed the secret letter to Li Ru beside him.

Li Ru looked at him a lot, and his face suddenly became solemn, before he saw that Lu Bu's face was calm, and he was willing to hand it over to him to see, originally thought that this was not important information.

But at this glance, I was surprised that there was a large-scale rebellion in Bingzhou, and now almost all the armies in Bingzhou are in the field, and the interior can be said to be extremely empty.

This is also what Lu Bu only found out after Li Ru came over and told them.

It can almost be said that when the internal emptiness was the most vulnerable, there was a large-scale rebellion, as many as more than 40,000 Tuntian soldiers rebelled, occupying the secret base of the Ugin Mountains, which is a very serious matter.

But Lu Bu's state at this time seems to be confident, is it ......

Li Ru suddenly had some clarity in his heart: "Wen Hou, I'm afraid I have already left a lot of back-ups." ”

"Hahaha, I really can't hide it from Wen Xiansheng." Lu Bu also expected that Li Ru would be able to figure it out quickly, so he didn't explain it in advance.

Li Ru listened to Lu Bu's words, and immediately understood that Lu Bu didn't want him to participate in this matter, so he was silent at the moment.

Sure enough, Lu Bu then spoke: "Wen Xiansheng, I have another matter that I need to ask you. ”

"Wen Hou just commands." Li Ru hurriedly hugged his fists.

"I need to go back to Bingzhou in person early tomorrow morning, and all the affairs of Guanzhong will be handed over to Mr.

Li Ru's face changed, Lu Bu rushed back to Bingzhou at this critical moment, he was not surprised, after all, it was Lu Bu's base camp.

Li Ru was bold and asked the doubts in his heart: "Wenhou, now that Guanzhong has been decided, it is a waste to be revi......ved."

"What's wrong? Could it be that the students feel that they are not competent? Lu Bu interrupted Li Ru's words.

"No, Li Ru thinks that he still has this ability. It's just that Wuguan has Mr. Fuzhu, Tongguan and Mr. Xun You, and both gentlemen can handle this matter......" Li Ru shook his head and quickly explained.

Lu Bu continued to interrupt Li Ru's words and said, "I understand Wen Xiansheng's concerns. Lu has a principle, employing people without suspicion and suspicion without using them. ”

Li Ru looked directly at Lu Bu's gaze, and when the two looked at each other, Li Ru finally lowered his head first.

He assured Lu Bu categorically: "Please rest assured that when Wen Hou returns, he will definitely harvest a brand new and complete Chang'an!" ”

"Hahaha, I naturally believe in Wen Xian's ability, otherwise I wouldn't dare to put this important task in your hands."

Lu Bu paused, and then said: "I will not transfer the soldiers and horses of Wuguan and Tongguan, mainly to prevent Yuan Shao from coming in again to make trouble. The four counties of Sizhou were lost and lost, and what he took away today, another day, I, Lu Bu, will ask him to return it to me twice. ”

Lu Bu said it easily, but his tone was full of confidence, as if retrieving the four counties of Sizhou was like searching for something.

A smile appeared on Li Ru's face, and he naturally believed that Lu Bu had this strength.

Compared with this, what he was even more touched by was Lu Bu's trust in him, if it weren't for the fact that he was the party concerned, he couldn't believe that there would be such a lord, who was so entrusted with such a heavy responsibility to a subordinate who had just joined him, and he had no reservations.

But the surprise is yet to come.

Lu Bu then spoke: "In the next few days, Zhang Liao will bring the people of Hongnong to Chang'an, and they will all ask Wen Xiansheng to settle properly. I have already greeted Zhang Liao and Tai Shici, and they will completely obey your command. ”

Li Ru was silent, but his heart was like turning over the river and the sea, and an impulse to die for his confidant came to his heart, which was almost impossible for him.

But Lu Bu's various performances made him an extremely rational person rise such an impulse.

Although there was no change on his face, his slightly trembling body betrayed his state of mind at the moment.

Lu Bu didn't speak again, gently patted Li Ru's shoulder, and was about to take a step.

Dian Wei's majestic body appeared in the door again.

Lu Bu raised his head and looked at Dian Wei, wondering why he had gone and returned.

Dian Wei's face was a little solemn, and he said in a deep voice: "Lord, Madame's urgency." ”

Lu Bu's face changed, he reached out and snatched the secret letter in Dian Wei's hand, and quickly opened it to take a closer look.

Under normal circumstances, Diao Chan and the others would not take the initiative to write to Lu Bu, they know Lu Bu's character very well, and they may be very ruthless to the enemy, but for the people around them, especially their ladies, Lu Bu is very caring.

The more this is the case, the less they will disturb Lu Bu's mind because of some inconsequential things.

Therefore, whenever Lu Bu is out on an expedition, they will always bury their lovesickness in their hearts.

But this time, an urgent letter was sent uncharacteristically, and it was immediately followed by the letter of the state, so there must have been a serious accident.

After reading the letter, Lu Bu's face became extremely ugly, and the content in his heart was very simple.

It was about Ding Yao's disappearance, and Lu Bu knew that this little girl must have gone to find Lou Wu in person.

Immediately spoke: "Dian Wei, I can set off, you follow the original plan unchanged, and lead the greedy wolf iron horse to set off early tomorrow morning." ”

Dian Wei hurriedly spoke: "Lord, let's ...... together"

Lu Bu waved his hand and said, "The battle has just passed, and the soldiers need to rest and recuperate, and they are not in a hurry for a night. Besides, my red rabbit horse is fast, and you can't catch up with me. In this way, you will remain unchanged according to the original plan, and Hugh will persuade you again. ”

Dian Wei had no choice but to say yes.

Lu Bu turned his head and said to Li Ru: "Wen Xiansheng, so please." ”

Li Ru hurriedly responded with his fists clenched.

"Yao'er, why are you here?" Lou Wu sat on the main seat, looking at the delicate and bright face below.

Then I saw that the little girl was now tied up with five flowers, and a white cloth towel was stuffed in her mouth.

Lou Wu hurriedly said angrily: "Which bastard did it, don't hurry up and loosen my bonds." ”

The maid next to her hurriedly stepped forward and untied Ding Yao.

Ding Yao rubbed the various places that were bound to be a little red and swollen and painful, and glared at Lou Wu angrily.

A pair of apricot eyes were full of burning anger, but he didn't say a word.

Lou Wu was a little weak by him, he naturally knew why Ding Yao was so angry, and sighed secretly in his heart.

With an annoyed wave of his hand, he made all the people around him retreat.

Lou Wu slowly walked down the steps and stood in front of Ding Yao, just about to explain.

Suddenly, there was a crisp sound of 'pop', and Ding Yao slapped Lou Wu in the face fiercely.
