Chapter 300: Thinking in the Long Term
Seeing that Liu Bei and the others had run away, Dong Zhuo angrily asked the guards to hurry after him. He walked up to the Vajra robot and looked it up and down.
"Looks like it's a bot spying on me, no wonder I can't detect it!"
Dong Zhuo said to himself, and suddenly began to search the carpet around his lounge, and sure enough, he found a strangely shaped spider in an inconspicuous corner.
Due to the lack of control from others, this strange-looking spider looked like a machine-made spider, and was finally easily held in the palm of Dong Zhuo's hand.
"Hmph, it looks like you're the one who spies on me! It's actually an inconspicuous spider, no wonder it can escape my perception! ”
With a force on his hand, Dong Zhuo angrily pinched it and smashed it directly. Then he called a guard and told him to strictly check the area around his room in the future, and even an ant could be put into his room, otherwise his life would be lost!
Then the guards slowly left in a trembling manner, and went straight to the direction of the cabinet gate, preparing to intercept Liu Bei and them.
He believed that such a big movement on his side must have been heard clearly by Lu Bu's ears. As long as Lu Bu had doubts in his heart and informed Li Ru of the matter, he would definitely know that things had changed with Li Ru's wisdom.
Therefore, they will definitely not let Liu Bei and the others go easily, even if Liu Bei and they work together to break through, but with Lu Bu's strong skills, coupled with Li Ru's assistance, they will definitely not let them escape.
It's just that Dong Zhuo thought very well, but when he came to the door of the cabinet, he saw Li Ru looking at him with a surprised face and said, "Father-in-law, why did you come from there?" Didn't you say that you had something to take Liu Bei and them out of the cabinet? ”
Hearing Li Ru's words, Dong Zhuo suddenly slapped Li Ru in the face, and exhaled angrily: "Waste! Even I can admit my mistake, what's the use of my son-in-law asking for you? ”
"Come on, drag Li Ru down and beat a thousand boards for me. Kill and bury it on the spot, and if he doesn't die, let him continue to come and see the door! ”
"Yes!"
The guards immediately dragged Li Ru out.
"Father-in-law, spare your life, I really don't blame me for this, that person just now is too much like my father-in-law, it's exactly the same. If you don't believe me, you can ask Lu Bu! ”
"Wait!"
Dong Zhuo waved his hand to make the guards stand for a while, turned his head and asked Lu Budao, "Wu'er Fengxian, what Li Ru just said is true?" Is the person who pretended to be me exactly the same as me? ”
Seeing Lu Bu immediately knelt down in fear and said, "That's right, that person just now is indeed exactly the same as his father-in-law." And not only the appearance, but also the temperament is very similar, so even the child was fooled by the other party! ”
Hearing Lu Bu's words, Dong Zhuo groped the beard on his face with a gloomy face. Then he waved his hand to the guard behind him and said, "Okay, you only need to beat him with 500 military sticks, and pull him down." ”
Hearing that he was going to be beaten, Li Ru wanted to cry without tears.
"Father-in-law, spare my life, I am your own son-in-law, if you beat me like this, I will make your daughter stay alive."
It's just that Dong Zhuo said nonchalantly: "It's okay, if you really can't be punished, I will find a better and smarter person for my daughter to be my son-in-law!" ”
"Boom"
Li Ru suddenly felt five thunderbolts hit the top, and Dong Zhuo's ruthless words suddenly shattered his heart.
He was dragged away by the guards around him like a marionette, until the stick was added and the intense pain made him feel the existence of the world.
"Dong Zhuo, how many things have I done for your great cause? But you are still so affectionate to me, and now you are even saying the words to let your daughter remarry. In that case, what am I going to do with you?
I was originally for Xin'er's happiness to help you achieve great things. But you don't think about family affection, and you have inflicted heavy punishments on me indiscriminately many times, so don't blame me for not recognizing your father-in-law! ”
Because of Dong Zhuo's words, it completely detonated the resentment in Li Ru's heart. made his loyalty to Dong Zhuo directly cleared, until he gritted his teeth and survived the five hundred military sticks, and then was dragged back to the detention center at the door of the cabinet to recuperate.
During this period, Dong Zhuo did not punish Lu Bu because he was not the gatekeeper, but only asked him to lead five hundred guards to pursue Liu Bei and others.
And Dong Zhuo immediately took a few guards and went straight to the empress dowager's bedroom. However, he did not intercede for Wang Yue as agreed, but had other plans.
Now that his plot seems to have been known to others, this makes him hide in the shadows and silently develop his power and cultivate demonic skills. So he plans to directly pick out the matter, and use this matter to directly turn behind the scenes to the front of the stage.
However, if he wants to do this, he still needs the cooperation of the Empress Dowager, so he came to ask to see the Empress Dowager.
After the palace maid's ceremony, Dong Zhuo successfully met the Empress Dowager.
"Nephew Dong Zhuo, I have something important to tell my aunt."
"What the hell is it that actually made you come to see the mourning family at night?"
"Auntie, just now a group of assassins came to assassinate my nephew, but fortunately, my nephew's martial arts are not weak, and he is guarded by the Royal Self-Defense Force, so he was able to escape."
"What! There is such a thing! What do the gatekeepers do for food? How dare you let the assassins in! ”
The Assassin deceived him under the pretext of visiting his nephew, which allowed the Assassin to infiltrate the Cabinet. Now that his nephew has punished him, his aunt doesn't have to worry about it.
It's just that the purpose of the assassins is that the nephew has to tell his aunt. ”
"What, what's the inside story here?"
"Auntie, actually, those assassins originally came to my nephew to make a deal for him. And the object of this deal is Wang Yue on death row!
Some people hope that the nephew will make it clear and beg the aunt to let Wang Yue go. It's just that the nephew refuses, so they turn to assassinate the nephew! ”
"How unreasonable! Zhong Ying, tell your aunt quickly, who assassinated you, I will order him to be killed, and I will be angry for you! ”
Hearing this, Dong Zhuo pretended to be moved and said, "Thank you, auntie." It's just that the assassins who came to find my nephew today are actually students, and they shouldn't have the courage to assassinate my nephew.
The nephew felt that there must be a minister of the DPRK and the Central People's Republic of China, so he implored his aunt to make a decree to change tomorrow's morning meeting to a lunch meeting. Let those ministers watch Wang Yue's execution together.
I believe that the real murderer behind this scene must not bear Wang Yue to be beheaded, and whoever comes out to intercede at that time will be the real murderer who sent someone to assassinate his nephew today! ”
After Dong Zhuo finished speaking, he knelt directly in front of the Empress Dowager Dong, kowtowed and begged her to make decisions for herself.
Stretching out her hand to help Dong Zhuo up, the Empress Dowager nodded directly and agreed to Dong Zhuo's request, and immediately came to write down the edict and sent it to the mansions of various ministers overnight.
Seeing that his goal was achieved, Dong Zhuo immediately got up and said goodbye. Then he immediately called Li Dao Guo Yan, whispered a few words in their ears, and then asked them to go to the vegetable market overnight to decorate.
On the other side, after Liu Bei and his people escaped from the cabinet, Cao Cao immediately gathered Cao's army to guard the outside of the garbage dump. Just wait for the pursuers of the cabinet to come out and immediately deal a serious blow.
Sure enough, there was not much time, so Lu Bu led people to appear in the garbage dump. Before they could react, Cao Cao immediately gave the order to open fire.
Two thousand electronic pulse guns immediately shot at Lu Bu and the others, only to see a flash of red light, flying straight towards Lu Bu and the others.
At this moment, Lu Bu only felt a tingling of his scalp, and looked at the dense red light in the distance and flew back.
It's also a loss that his reaction is enough to block, and he has a gluttonous soul devouring armor on his body. Although he was shot several times, he still escaped back.
It's just that the guards who came out with him didn't have such agile reflexes and armor, and they kept falling under the fire of the electronic pulse gun one by one.
With the help of the bunker, Lu Bu observed the firing direction of the electronic pulse gun, preliminarily judged the opponent's firepower and personnel distribution, and finally reluctantly came to a conclusion.
That is, it is impossible for the 500 Self-Defense Forces to defeat the other side with their own.
In desperation, they could only return to the cabinet again and report the matter to Dong Zhuo.
Dong Zhuo, who heard this, unexpectedly did not show a very angry look, but just waved his hand casually, indicating that he knew.
Lu Bu, who couldn't figure out Dong Zhuo's thoughts, could only retire like this.
And after Lu Bu left, Dong Zhuo said to himself angrily: "Cao Cao, Liu Bei, Xun Yu, it seems that you have planned it a long time ago!" In order to prevent me from pursuing, even the troops were gathered at the door of the cabinet.
Very good! Wait until my big event is over tomorrow, and see how I clean you up! ”
On the other side, Liu Bei and the others waited for a long time after seeing Lu Bu return to the cabinet. Seeing that the other party seemed to give up on continuing to pursue them, he gathered the team and went home.
On the way, Cao Cao and Xun Yu couldn't help but praise Huang Zhong. The disguise technique that praised him was simply impeccable, if they hadn't seen Huang Zhong disguise himself in front of them, I'm afraid even they would have thought that Dong Zhuo had killed them in front of them!
And Huang Zhong scratched his head embarrassedly and explained, saying that Liu Bei instructed him to do all this.
It turned out that just before they set off, Liu Bei warned Huang Zhong and asked him to observe Dong Zhuo's demeanor and demeanor more when he saw him.
Because they are likely to fight Dong Zhuo on this trip, it is very likely that Huang Zhong will be needed to pretend to be Dong Zhuo to get out for them at that time.
As Liu Bei expected, their group finally met Dong Zhuo.
Thanks to Xun You, who suddenly took out his robot to block a round of bullets for them, and threw smoke bombs at the end to buy time for them to escape, otherwise they would really not die and peel off their skin!
So after Cao Cao praised Huang Zhong, he praised Xun You again.
It's just that unlike Huang Zhong's introvertedness, Xun You is boasting in the face of everyone's appreciation. He even bragged that he didn't bring all the things this time, otherwise they wouldn't have to flee at all, as long as all his army of King Kong robots were killed, and all those outside his cabinet would be razed to the ground!
But this was originally a joke, after all, a King Kong robot is enough for him to work for a long time, and it also requires a lot of materials. With his Xun family's assets, it is impossible to fund him to build an army of robots, and he Xun You does not have that patience.
It's just that this passage fell on Cao Cao's ears, it was different, as a military genius, he understood the strategic significance of the King Kong robot too well.
If we can really create such an army, I am afraid that it will not be a problem to conquer the entire school alliance.
So Cao Cao pulled Xun You aside and discussed the robot army he had just mentioned.
Seeing that what he said nonsense was really taken seriously, Xun You suddenly scratched his head with a little blushing and said, "President Cao, I was actually bragging before. How could I possibly build a swarm of Vajra robots!
Not to mention the rarity of crafting materials, which are not easy to obtain. Even that complicated process doesn't allow me to have the patience to make a bunch of that stuff! ”
"Uh~!"
Cao Cao suddenly sweated when he heard this, and I thought too much about everything!
So Cao Cao smiled awkwardly, and Xun You returned to the team all the way back to the Cao family compound.
The army was sent back to the training camp, and Cao Cao and the others had just come to the living room when a servant came to report.
He said that there was news from the cabinet that tomorrow's morning meeting would be changed to a noon meeting. In addition, the location has also been changed to the entrance of the vegetable market in the city.
Hearing this, Xun Yu was stunned for a moment, and then directly grabbed the domestic servant, and said in an unkind tone: "What are you talking about, go to the vegetable market for a luncheon?" Why go there? Who told you this news, and what else did he say? ”
Seeing Xun Yu lose so much, Xun Yu couldn't help but gently tug his sleeve behind him, and reminded in a low voice: "Uncle, this is the Cao family, not our Xun family." ”
Hearing Xun Yu's words, Xun Yu came back to his senses, looked at the panicked servant in front of him, and said apologetically: "I'm sorry, I lost my temper just now!" But please tell me how you got this news, there is no other news. ”
The servant glanced at Cao Cao with some panic, and saw that the latter nodded slightly, so the servant immediately bowed down and said: "These are all news that has just been passed from the cabinet flying pigeon, and the empress dowager has dictated it, and all officials in Luoyang City should receive it."
As for other news~, it was not mentioned in the letter! ”
"Smack"
Xun Yu suddenly took a few steps back and sat down on the sofa behind him, and said in disbelief: "Impossible, this is impossible!" Dong Zhuo obviously swore with his demons, it was impossible to speak, how could he dare to speak? Isn't he afraid that the entire whole school alliance will unite against him? ”
Xun Yu said to himself in a somewhat dejected way, and the other people present were also gloomy. Obviously, Dong Zhuo was treacherous so quickly, which was also unexpected by them.
At this time, Liu Bei suddenly stood up and said, "Okay guys, now is not the time to be lost. Since he, Dong Zhuo, dared to ignore the oath, he was obviously ready to enter the demon. We must make plans as soon as possible, otherwise we are afraid that the entire Luoyang City will set off a bloody storm! ”
Hearing this, Cao Cao nodded and said, "That's right, we must prepare as soon as possible." Dong Zhuo's combat power is not very high, according to the classics, people will fall into a period of weakness when they enter the demon.
As long as we get rid of him during this time, then we can solve the worries. I'll gather the Cao family's army, attack the cabinet, and get rid of Dong Zhuo, the devil! ”。
After Cao Cao finished speaking, he took out his mobile phone and was about to summon the Cao family army again. But at this time, another pair of hands blocked in front of him.
"President Cao, don't be impulsive, all this is just our analysis, and there is no real evidence. If we rashly lead troops to storm the cabinet like this, I am afraid that we will be framed as a rebel thief. Everything needs to be considered in the long run! ”
