Chapter 406: Fight Back!
Lu Bu did not delay, and after saying goodbye to Wang Lei, he returned to his residence and changed his clothes before rushing to the dock. It can be expected that Lu Bu will not be good when he goes back to the dock this time. After all, Lu Bu was chased and beaten by Dong Zhuo, and after seeing Dong Zhuo, he must have been very embarrassed.
Wang Lei couldn't interfere with all this, left his residence, and went to Cai's house.
Cai Yong was overjoyed when he saw Wang Lei.
Brushing the gray beard under his chin, Cai Yong smiled and said, "Zigu, I haven't seen you for a few months, you are becoming more and more energetic, and the whole person is more mature." I've heard that when you're heading south, you've encountered all sorts of things, and while they're thrilling, they're also wonderful. ”
Wang Lei chuckled and said: "Mr. Cai has won the award, and he will almost not be able to come back this time." I hoped that the journey would be safe and smooth to arrive in Qu'a, but unfortunately the heavens did not fulfill people's wishes, and various things happened on the way. ”
Cai Yong said: "Young people, it is better to experience more things. ”
After a pause, Cai Yong looked excited and said, "Zhao Ji heard that you, a chef, are here, and I went to prepare the meal myself." At noon, you stay at the house to eat. Zhao Ji has been learning cooking for months, and you have to review it. ”
A hint of surprise appeared in Wang Lei's eyes, and he said, "Zhao Ji cooks herself, then I have to taste it." As soon as the conversation changed, Wang Lei asked: "I came this time and had something to talk to Mr. about." ”
Cai Yong said: "Just say it! ”
Wang Lei asked straight to the point: "What do you think of the situation in the DPRK and China?" ”
Cai Yong frowned at this question.
Cai Yong is generally rarely involved in the affairs of the DPRK and China, and can be regarded as maintaining neutrality.
Cai Yong was silent for a moment, his eyes became serious, and he replied slowly: "The virtuous nephew asked such a question, I think there must be an important reason. To you, the old man doesn't say polite words. Xiangguo is in charge of the dynasty, and he still has benefits, and the situation in the court is relatively stable. Everyone says that Xiangguo is arrogant and domineering, killing innocents in vain, but in fact, if you think about it on the other hand, the situation in the past two years is at least better than when the ten permanent servants were there before. Xiangguo is indeed tyrannical, but it can't hide the positive side because of this. ”
Wang Lei was surprised, he didn't expect Cai Yong to say this.
Perhaps, this is the reason why Cai Yong was killed by Wang Yun.
In history, Wang Yun designed to kill Dong Zhuo, Cai Yong was not affected at first, and later chatted with Wang Yun, and once lamented Dong Zhuo's death, and then was arrested by Wang Yun and then put to prison.
Cai Yong's words just now have already explained Cai Yong's attitude towards Dong Zhuo.
Dong Zhuo was indeed tyrannical and arrogant, killing innocents indiscriminately, causing panic among the ministers of the court. However, under the auspices of Dong Zhuo, the imperial court regained calm, which was the reason why Cai Yong hated Dong Zhuo's tyranny but supported Dong Zhuo.
Wang Lei agreed with Cai Yong's opinion and said: "What Mr. said is very reasonable, Dong Zhuo is here, and the imperial court does maintain a delicate balance. However, Dong Zhuo could not tolerate people loyal to the Son of Heaven, and the ministers of the court and the central government could not tolerate Dong Zhuo, so it was impossible to maintain it for a long time, and this balance would soon be broken. I hope that my husband and his family will take shelter from the impending storm, and it will not be too late to return. ”
"What storm?" Cai Yong asked.
Wang Lei said: "Chang'an seems to be calm, but in fact, there is an undercurrent. Mr. Cai, Jizhou will invite calligraphers from all over the world to gather in Ye County to exchange their experience in writing and research. Mr. Cai is a first-class calligrapher in the world, and it would be a pity not to participate. At this moment, it can be used as a reason for Mr. to leave Chang'an. ”
The real reason, Wang Lei did not say.
Cai Yong shook his head and said, "Thank you for the kindness of the virtuous nephew, the old man will not leave Chang'an." ”
Wang Lei wanted to persuade again, but was stopped by Cai Yong with his eyes.
Helplessly, Wang Lei changed the topic and returned to the issue of calligraphy. This time, Cai Yong had countless questions and discussed with Wang Lei. At noon, the chamberlain came to inform the two to go to dinner. Wang Lei and Cai Yong stopped, walked out of the study without hurry, and came to the living room. The family sat down to eat, Wang Lei tasted the taste of stir-fried vegetables one by one, and couldn't help nodding.
"Mr. Cai, Zhao Ji's level is very good!"
Wang Lei's words of praise gave Cai Yan a smile on his beautiful face.
Cai Yan said: "Lord Wang thinks it's good, eat more." ”
Wang Lei hurriedly thanked him, and Cai Yong was also quite happy in his eyes.
A good lunch.
In the afternoon, after Wang Lei left Cai's house, he returned directly to his residence. Cai Yong did not leave Chang'an, and Wang Lei could only try his best to protect Cai Yong in the next storm. Not long after, Huang Zhongyu reported: "Lord, Lu Bu is here again!" ”
"Please!"
Wang Lei waved his hand, and Huang Zhong went down to convey the news.
Lu Bu came to Wang Lei's study, and the door was closed. Lu Bu looked at Wang Lei and knelt down. At this moment, Wang Lei was startled, and hurriedly walked in front of Lu Bu, dragging Lu Bu with both hands, wanting to drag Lu Bu up: "Brother, hurry up, what are you doing, how to kneel for no reason!" ”
"Brother Xian, brother, please, help me! Be sure to help me. In my life, Lu Bu, I have knelt to the sky, the ground, and my parents, even in the face of Dong Zhuo, I have never knelt. Today, please, you must help me, I really have no choice. ”
Lu Bu looked depressed, and there was a deep sadness in his eyes.
Wang Lei said: "Brother, get up and talk about it." ”
Lu Bu grabbed Wang Lei's arm, shook his head and said, "If you don't agree, I won't get up." I know you're resourceful, and if you're willing to help me, you'll be able to succeed. Brother Xian, I beg you. ”
Lu Bu knocked on the ground with his head and saluted respectfully.
Wang Lei said: "Brother, I'll help you, no matter what, I'll help you." ”
There was a firmness in his tone.
Only then did Lu Bu stand up, and after sitting down, he said slowly: "Dong Zhuo convened a gathering of people from the Dong clan such as Niu Fu, Dong, and Dong Huang today, and I am Dong Zhuo's righteous son, and I am also among them. At the table, I met Diao Chan, although she had a smile on her face all the time. But I saw the sadness in the depths of her eyes, she was not doing well with Dong Zhuo, and I wanted to help her get out of the sea of suffering. ”
Wang Lei stared at Lu Bu and asked in a solemn tone: "Brother, if you want to help Diao Chan get out of the sea of suffering, it means that you will tear your face with Dong Zhuo, is it worth it?" ”
"It's worth it!"
Lu Bu's eyes were calm and he replied without hesitation.
"Dong Zhuo is just using me, in addition to using it, the rest is guarding." Lu Bu said: "Diao Chan is different, I really love her, and she really loves me." Although I am the one who has a daughter, when I meet her, I seem to have met someone who is really willing to give up his life for it. It's not that I don't want to give my life for my wife and daughter, but I can also give up my life for my wife and daughter. However, Diao Chan is different, this feeling is really different. ”
Wang Lei said: "Brother, don't say more. I understand your thoughts, and now that you've made a decision, let's get ready and start fighting back. ”
Lu Bu's eyes showed joy, and he said, "Brother Xian, are you sure?" ”
Wang Lei said: "Yes! ”
In an instant, a long-lost smile appeared on Lu Bu's face. His eyes sharpened again, and he said loudly: "Brother Xian, I'm just a martial artist, what you say you want to do, I will fully cooperate." Even if it is death, I am willing. ”
