Chapter 6: The Master of the Token
Hearing the word "Li Ru", Huaxing immediately dragged a long "oh".
Li Ru, excellent characters.
From Dong Zhuo's entry into Beijing to persuading Lu Bu to surrender, to abolishing the emperor and burning Luoyang, he was inseparable from his staff.
If I remember correctly, Liu Wei, the young emperor of the Han Dynasty, was poisoned by him with his own hands, and he can be called Dong Zhuo's chief strategist.
Why did Ma Tong bring him to see Li Ru?
Could it be that the masked man has something to do with Li Ru?
Thinking of this, Hua Xing quickly followed, opened his mouth and asked, "The token...... Is it Lee-sama's? ”
Hearing this, Li Ru smiled and did not answer. Gently pushed open the hollow wooden door and invited Huaxing into the room.
The inner room is a study room, which is very large and has many bookshelves.
But most of the books on the shelves are covered with dust, and it seems that few people have read them.
At this moment, a man in his sixties sat at the table.
This man wore a red crown on his head, a blue robe, a strong physique, and a beard, which was very majestic. But his face was red, and he had obviously just drunk alcohol.
On the desk, there are also sumptuous dishes and wines, which makes it difficult not to think of the woman who ran out just now.
It's only eight or nine o'clock in the morning, and the two of them are here to drink and talk with beautiful women, this life is really rotten.
Walking to the man's side, Li Ru leaned down respectfully and whispered a few words in his ear.
While listening, the blue-robed man's eyes kept turning on Hua Xing, and he seemed to be very interested.
After about ten seconds, Li Ru straightened up, pointed to the man beside him and said:
"Fang Jinling is right that I gave it out, but this is its real master, I am the Minister of the State - Dong Taishi!"
Master Dong?
Isn't that the notorious Dong Zhuo?
How could he be the owner of the token?
Hearing this, Huaxing immediately looked confused.
"It's okay if you don't understand, I'll tell you later. But before I can do that, I need to verify your identity. BGI, how did you get this order? ”
Hearing Li Ru ask about this, Huaxing hesitated slightly.
But in order to find out the ins and outs, after thinking twice, he still truthfully informed the other party that the masked man had rescued him and asked him to come to Luoyang.
As soon as the words fell, I saw Dong Zhuo shoot the case, and laughed excitedly:
"Hahaha! You are the one who came down from heaven! Hurry, give me a seat! Haha, Song Ban has made a great contribution this time, and he really rescued you! ”
Although Dong Zhuo is not young, his voice is loud and confident, and he does not look like a sixty-year-old person at all.
At Dong Zhuo's request, Li Ru quickly brought a seat to Huaxing. Huaxing was not polite, and sat down with a butt. As soon as he sat down, he heard Dong Zhuo say again:
"Song Ban is the eyeliner that the old man planted in the coalition army, yesterday you fell from the sky, I sent a message to him, and asked him to find a way to rescue you. I thought it would be difficult to achieve this, but I didn't expect him to do it! ”
"Oh, it turned out that it was Taishi Dong who saved Zai ......" After thinking for a while, Hua Xing suddenly said with doubts in his eyes: "Then why didn't he tell me directly?" ”
Without waiting for Dong Zhuo to speak, Li Ru replied first:
"He doesn't talk about ...... It makes sense! Just imagine, if you fail to escape and are captured by the coalition forces, you will most likely inform Yuan Shao of this matter, which is extremely unfavorable to Song Ban. So for self-preservation, he can save you, but he will never reveal his identity. ”
Dong Zhuo has a bad reputation, but if he hadn't instructed Song Ban to save people, Huaxing would have died under Zhang Fei's spear last night.
So although I was slightly disappointed with this result, Huaxing couldn't help but thank him for saving his life, and after figuring out the reason, he got up and hugged his fists:
"It turned out that it was Mrs. Dong who saved me, Hua Mou...... Appreciate! ”
"Hahaha! You're welcome! Hurry up, please take a seat! ”
After a few hearty laughs, Dong Zhuo poured himself another fine wine, and asked curiously while drinking:
"By the way, can you tell the old man how you fell from the sky? And why take the life of a nobody? ”
The pawn in Dong Zhuo's mouth is, of course, Liu Bei.
He didn't mean to be big.
But in that era, Liu Bei had not yet made a career, and it was just a small county order.
For Dong Zhuo, he is indeed a nobody.
Hearing the other party ask about this, Huaxing couldn't help but think of Cao Cao and Sun Jian.
He knew that like those two, Dong Zhuo was most likely coming for his "secret technique".
It is even more confirmed that the other party does not know his true origin, and he was just happy in vain before.
"So, the Taishi doesn't know what's going on?"
"The situation? What's the situation? All I know is that you have come down from heaven, and many soldiers have called you a demon from heaven. Don't...... Are you really a demon? ”
Speaking of the word "demon", Dong Zhuo's eyes also flashed with a trace of imperceptible fear.
"Oh, Taishi misunderstood, I'm not a demon. I'm just, just ......"
Seeing Huaxing spitting and spitting, the anxious Dong Zhuo immediately urged: "Just what? ”
"I ...... Amnesia! ”
Dong and Li didn't understand what "amnesia" was, and it wasn't until they listened to Huaxing's explanation that they nodded in understanding.
"Who still can't remember who they are? Hehe, it's the first time the old man has heard of it. ”
I thought that Dong Zhuo would be disappointed when he learned that he had amnesia, but he didn't expect that this old guy laughed generously and comforted him:
"It's okay, it's okay! The old man believes that one day you will remember it. In this way, you stay in the palace for this time, and the old man will ask the imperial doctors to take a good look at you, and if you need anything, you can also come to me directly. ”
Seeing Huaxing's hesitation, Dong Zhuo said twice:
"You are being wanted by the coalition forces, and you may not be safe even in Luoyang City. I can put eyeliner in them, and they will. Therefore, it is better to live in the palace. ”
With a decision, Dong Zhuo didn't care whether Huaxing was willing or not, and directly called the palace steward Gui Gonggong and asked him to arrange accommodation.
On the one hand, Huaxing really needs a place to stay;
On the other hand, as a wanted criminal of the coalition army, staying in the Luoyang Palace at this moment is indeed the safest choice.
After thinking about it, Hua Xing didn't object anymore, thanked him and followed the father-in-law to the door.
……
After Huaxing left, Dong Zhuo was still interested, sitting on the chair and pouring himself a drink.
But Li Ru, who was standing on the side, looked a little strange, and there was a touch of jealousy in his eyes.
As Dong Zhuo's first strategist, Li Ru knows Dong Zhuo very well.
He knew that Dong Zhuo had never been a "corporal of courtesy", and he was neither patient nor good-looking for ordinary subordinates, and he was annoyed to see him more.
Unless it's a talented person he really admires, he is willing to make friends.
Just like Lu Bu at the beginning, Dong Zhuo spent a lot of effort to dig it up.
And after Lu Bu joined Dong Jun, he did not disappoint everyone, and soon made a slow battle exploit and became the first fierce general under Dong Zhuo.
Lu Bu's status in the army also inadvertently slowly surpassed Li Ru.
On the surface, Li Ru didn't mind this, and often praised General Lu for his might.
But in fact, he was so angry in his heart!
even regretted a little, he really shouldn't have let Dong Zhuo persuade Lu Bu to surrender in the first place, and lost his first priority.
Now, seeing Dong Zhuo's eyes looking at Huaxing exactly the same as when he first saw Lu Bu, Li Ru's heart instantly sounded the alarm!
He has learned from the past, and he never wants Huaxing to become the second "Lu Bu".
So, after thinking for a while, I heard Li Ru speak:
"Taishi, I think there is something wrong with this person!"
