Chapter 148: Wen Mingyuan
Liu Yi, under the leadership of Cao Cao, wandered among the major officials present.
There were many officials present, including Huangfu Song, Lu Zhi, Wang Yun, Zhu and others.
Because of the large number of officials, they couldn't sit down in the hall at all, so Dong Zhuo ordered his subordinates to set up rows of dining tables in the courtyard.
In the middle of the courtyard, a four-legged square tripod stands impressively in the middle, and the tripod is boiling hot wine at this time.
At this time, the atmosphere in the venue was very lively, and many ministers stood together in groups and chatted about this.
Driven by Cao Cao, Liu Yi also exchanged false greetings with those ministers.
Because Liu Yi and Lu Zhi resisted Zhang Jiao together when they were in Zhongqiu, the two are also familiar with each other, and the two who have been reunited after a long absence are indispensable for a cold and warm meal.
After some greetings, Liu Yi felt that it was not interesting to chat with these people, so he found an excuse to leave.
After leaving everyone, Liu Yi took Guan Yu and Xi Zhicai to sit in the corner on the side.
As soon as he sat down, Liu Yi turned around and asked Guan Yu.
"Yun Chang, what do you think of that person over there?" Liu Yi gestured to Lu Bu in the distance with his eyes.
Guan Yu, who was standing behind Liu Yi, heard Liu Yi's words, and glanced at Lu Bu expressionlessly, Lu Bu didn't know if he was induced or what, but he was also looking at Guan Yu at this time.
The two were far apart, but they could strongly feel the battle intent in their eyes.
After staring at Lu Bu for a while, Guan Yu lowered his head and said respectfully to Liu Yi, "Lord, if you go head-to-head with this person, Guan Yu is not completely sure of winning!" ”
The drama beside Guan Yu showed a surprised expression when he heard this.
You must know that among these people around Liu Yi, Guan Yu said that in terms of fighting alone, Guan Yu said second, and no one dared to call him first.
is such a powerful master, looking at Lu Bu at this time but saying that he is not sure of winning, how can this not surprise Xi Zhicai.
"Yun Chang, you haven't fought against him, how do you know that you are not sure to win?" Xi Zhicai looked at Guan Yu in disbelief, after all, Xi Zhicai still recognized Guan Yu's ability very much.
Guan Yu, who was beside him, stroked his long hair, and said a little arrogantly, "A real master, you don't need to do it, you just need to see it from the momentum." ”
"Momentum?" Xi Zhicai glanced at Lu Bu in the distance in disbelief, and saw that he didn't see any momentum except for the fact that he looked powerful.
"Zhicai, don't doubt Yun Chang's judgment, this person is indeed strong in force, and it is not ordinarily strong, as far as I know, this person's force can be said to be invincible in the world in the world!" Liu Yi said with some excitement.
"Invincible in the world?" The drama on the side exclaimed, and Guan Yu on the side couldn't help frowning when he heard this.
"That's right! Invincible! After speaking, Liu Yi turned his head and said to the two of them with a smile, "At least as far as I know, almost no one can beat him in a one-on-one situation!." ”
"My lord, do you know this person?" Xi Zhicai saw Liu Yi praising Lu Bu so much, so he asked curiously.
When Liu Yi heard Xi Zhicai's words, he shook his head and smiled, "I know him, but he doesn't know me." ”
One sentence made Xi Zhicai and Guan Yu even more confused.
"This person's name is Lu Bu, and his name is Fengxian. He is Ding Yuan's guard general. Liu Yi briefly introduced the information he knew to the two.
Xi Zhicai thought for a while when he heard this, and then suddenly had an idea.
"Lord, since this person is so powerful, why don't we find a way to pry that person from Ding Yuan?" Xi Zhicai whispered in Liu Yi's ear, looking afraid of others hearing.
Hearing this, Liu Yi shook his head regretfully and said, "It's great to be able to receive it from us, but the time has not yet come at this time, even if you receive it, there may be problems in the future." If we want to subdue this person, we have to think of a way! ”
"Hmph~ Accept it, can he still dare to rebel?" Seeing Liu Yi boasting about Lu Bu like this just now, Guan Yu's arrogant energy came up again.
Hearing Guan Yu's words, Liu Yi suddenly remembered Lu Bu's name in history as "three family slaves", so he said to Guan Yu with a wry smile, "Yun Chang, don't say it, if a person like him doesn't have the quality of loyalty like you, if he doesn't do it well, it will be really easy to rebel." ”
Hearing Liu Yi praise himself intentionally or unintentionally, Guan Yutou suddenly raised his head arrogantly, stroked his beard with his hand, and his movements became elegant.
Seeing Guan Yu's appearance, Liu Yi couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
"I don't know when Yun Chang's arrogant temperament will be changed?"
Liu Yi and the three of them were chatting, only to see that the crowd on Lu Bu and Ding Yuan's side in the distance was in an uproar.
The three of them thought that Dong Zhuo had arrived, so they hurriedly stood up and walked over.
When the three of them arrived, they found that it was not Dong Zhuo who had arrived, but something else had happened.
"Rubbish! You can't do this little thing! Are you blind? ”
Liu Yi and the others looked forward to the beating and scolding in the middle of the crowd, and saw Ding Yuan, who was sitting in the distance, shaking off his clothes and pointing at Lu Bu's nose and scolding.
And the ministers on the side not only did not mean to dissuade, but showed a gloating expression.
Seeing this, Liu Yi hurriedly pulled Cao Cao, who was watching the excitement, aside.
"Brother Mengde, what's going on?" Liu Yi raised his head at Ding Yuan, and then asked in a low voice.
Hearing Liu Yi's words, Cao Cao sneered.
"The guard beside Ding Yuan accidentally knocked over Ding Yuan's tea just now and made Ding Yuan alone, isn't this Ding Yuan angry?"
After listening to Cao Cao's words, Liu Yi lifted his toes and looked inside, only to see Ding Yuan's big placket sure enough
There was a wet mark.
"Not really, right!? Even if you get your clothes wet, you can't afford to insult your guards in front of so many people, right? Liu Yi frowned and said.
"Hmph~ There are all kinds of people these days!" Cao Cao replied coldly.
I saw that Ding Yuan in the crowd was still scolding Lu Bu at this time.
"Lao Tzu's clothes are so wet, how can you let me see Dong Zhuo for a while?" Ding Yuan's angry and corrupt appearance looked very disgusting.
I saw that Lu Bu at this time was under the watchful eyes of everyone, his face was already purple, and in the face of Ding Yuan's scolding, he could only bow his head and endure it silently.
"You two are waiting here, I'll come when I go!"
Liu Yi said a word to Guan Yu and Xi Zhicai behind him, and then squeezed into the crowd.
"Huh? Lord ......"
Without waiting for Xi Zhicai and Guan Yu to step forward to stop them, Liu Yi had already come and squeezed in front of everyone. Seeing this, Xi Zhicai and the others hurriedly squeezed inside.
Liu Yi came to the middle of the crowd and came to Ding Yuan's side.
"Liu Yi, the commander of the lower official cavalry, pays a visit to Lord Ding!" Liu Yi clasped his hands into fists and bowed to Ding Yuan.
At this time, Ding Yuan was scolding, and when he saw Liu Yi coming to his side, he stopped insulting Lu Bu and looked at Liu Yi with a displeased face.
"Do I know you well?" Ding Yuan straightened his clothes, and said to Liu Yi arrogantly without even standing up.
Hearing Ding Yuan's provocative words, Liu Yi not only did not get angry, but laughed.
"Lord Ding's daughter, how can you know me as a nobody in a frontier land."
Although the words were said very humbly, Liu Yi's tone revealed full domineering.
"Hmph~ I even know that I am a nobody, so I don't want to get away quickly! Don't get in the way of Lao Tzu teaching his subordinates. ”
At this time, Guan Yu and Xi Zhicai had already squeezed out of the crowd and came right behind Liu Yi.
Seeing that Ding Yuan actually humiliated Liu Yi in public, Guan Yu slammed the Blue Dragon Glaive Knife in his hand to the ground.
"When~" sounded, I saw a tiger-shaped steel ingot at the handle of the big knife in Guan Yu's hand, and suddenly smashed the smashed bluestone slab into a fist-sized round pit.
"You're looking for death!"
Guan Yu's tone was very flat, but there was a murderous aura in his flat tone.
Cao Cao had seen Guan Yu a long time ago, but he had always thought that Guan Yu was just an ordinary general under Liu Yi, and he didn't see anything special about him.
At this time, Cao Cao saw that Guan Yu's murderous aura was like a rainbow, and he was also startled all of a sudden.
"This man is truly a man of God!" Cao Cao looked at Guan Yu's back from behind, and couldn't help muttering to himself.
The other ministers beside Liu Yi were also taken aback by Guan Yu's momentum at this time, and hurriedly took a few steps back.
I saw Ding Yuan, who was sitting at the dining table, after being threatened by Guan Yu, his face had turned purple eggplant.
"Why are you still standing stupidly? Didn't you see anyone threatening Lao Tzu? Looking at the murderous Guan Yu in front of him, Ding Yuan was also scared in his heart. After glaring at Guan Yu for a long time, Ding Yuan turned his head and vented his anger on Lu Bu again.
After hearing Ding Yuan's scolding, Lu Bu squinted his eyes and stared at Ding Yuan for a moment, then pulled out the saber on his waist, and then flashed in front of Ding Yuan.
The atmosphere on the field suddenly became tense.
"Cloud Chief! Don't be rude! ”
Liu Yi turned around and scolded Guan Yu fakely, then turned around and showed a sincere smile to Lu Bu.
"Don't be surprised, General! neglected discipline under his subordinates and collided with the general, and I hope the general will not blame! Liu Yi ignored Ding Yuan, but bowed to Lu Bu.
As soon as these words came out, the people on the field suddenly showed a strange expression, and they all looked at Ding Yuan with a smile.
"Brother Yi is such a wonderful person! dared to humiliate Ding Yuan like this, wasn't he afraid that Ding Yuan would do him badly? Cao Cao muttered puzzled.
"Your Excellency is too modest!" I saw Lu Bu swing the tip of the knife behind him, and then bowed to Liu Yi with his fists. His eyes were full of gratitude.
"Smack~"
"Liu Yi, you insulted me too much!" Seeing that his guards and Liu Yi were complimenting each other back and forth, but he was left aside like a fool, Ding Yuan was furious, stood up suddenly, and then smashed the teacup in front of him.
I saw Ding Yuan snatch the big knife from Lu Bu's hand, and then pointed at Liu Yi with the tip of the knife and scolded, "Shaft! You're looking for death! ”
didn't wait for Guan Yu beside Liu Yi to exert his power, only to hear a cold voice from behind everyone.
"Liu Duwei is the old man's brother, I see who dares to touch him!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone was in an uproar.
The ministers in the courtyard turned their heads one by one to look in the direction where the voice came from, and saw Dong Zhuo surrounded by Li Yu, Guo Yan and others, dressed in armor, and came to the courtyard.
"I've seen Sikong-sama!" Among the crowd, Liu Yi was the first to react, and bent down to bow respectfully to Dong Zhuo.
"I've seen Sikong-sama!" When the ministers saw Liu Yi bowing to Dong Zhuo, they also hurriedly bent down and bowed to Dong Zhuo.
I saw that Dong Zhuo ignored everyone, but came straight to Liu Yi's side and helped Liu Yi up.
"Our family has heard someone threatening the old man's brother from afar, who is that person?" Dong Zhuo glanced at Ding Yuan with slanted eyes, and said in a cold tone.
As soon as the words fell, I saw Ding Yuan on the side staring at Liu Yi with a red face and a white face.
"Dangchang~"
Ding Yuan angrily threw the long knife in his hand to the ground, and then sat down with a cold snort.
Seeing Ding Yuan like this, Dong Zhuo glanced at Ding Yuan, then ignored him, and pulled Liu Yi straight to the main seat in the garden.
"Now that everyone is here, let's hurry up and serve the food to all of you
! After taking the main seat, Dong Zhuo gave an order to the subordinates on the side.
After a while, there was an extra one-foot-square snack plate on the table in front of everyone.
I saw that there were a few slices of boiled meat with skin on everyone's plate, and the meat was delicately cut into small slices of uniform size, and a little coarse salt was put on the side as a dipping sauce.
After the meat was cooked, Dong Zhuo picked up the wine glass in his hand and stood up.
"You can take time out of your busy schedule to come to the meeting today, the old man is very grateful, this cup, the old man respects all the adults!"
After speaking, Dong Zhuo raised his wine glass, and then drank it all.
"Thank you, sir!" Everyone exhaled in unison, and then raised their glasses and drank them all.
After drinking the first glass of wine, Dong Zhuo began to beckon everyone to eat.
"Come on, come on, you taste the prey that the old man just brought recently, this meat is cooked by the old man himself, how about you taste it?" Dong Zhuo said with a laugh.
Hearing this, many officials who wanted to take this opportunity to flatter Dong Zhuo hurriedly picked up the boiled meat on the plate and stuffed it into their mouths.
As I chewed, I thought about how to praise the deliciousness of the meat for a while.
But before these people could come up with words of praise, they suddenly felt that the meat in their mouths tasted wrong, a little sour and a little chewy.
Everyone frowned and looked at each other while chewing, and it could be seen from each other's expressions that everyone's meat tasted bad.
"My lord, the taste of this meat is really strange, Xia Guan has never eaten such meat, and today can be regarded as a long experience. I don't know where the adults got their prey? After one of the ministers forcibly swallowed a piece of meat, he stood up and asked Dong Zhuo flatteringly.
Dong Zhuo didn't answer when he heard this, but laughed out loud.
Since the meat came up, Liu Yi and Cao Cao and others around him have not moved their chopsticks.
Liu Yi didn't move the chopsticks because he knew what the meat on this plate was, and Cao Cao didn't move the chopsticks because he was cautious by nature.
"Ladies and gentlemen, how does the meat cooked by the old man taste?" After Dong Zhuo picked up the meat on the plate and feasted on it, he looked at everyone with a smile and asked.
Several ministers who were eager to show themselves saw Dong Zhuo asking, and hurriedly stood up and returned, "The villain has never eaten such delicious boiled meat, thank you for your gift today!" ”
Dong Zhuo, who was on the main seat, smiled when he heard this, leaning forward and closing back.
"Good, good! If you like it, eat more! Not enough old man there is still there! ”
"Thank you, sir!" Everyone replied respectfully.
Then the crowd began to push the cups and change them.
During this period, Liu Yi, Cao Cao and others never ate the boiled meat on the plate, or the wine in the cup, and Liu Yi also drank very little.
During this period, Dong Zhuo found that a piece of boiled meat on Liu Yi's plate had not moved, but he did not blame, just nodded and showed an expression of appreciation.
The wine has passed three rounds, and the dishes have passed five flavors.
Seeing that the rest of the ministers forcibly ate the boiled meat in front of them, Dong Zhuo showed a cruel smile.
"Don't worry, gentlemen, the big dish is about to be served."
After Dong Zhuo finished speaking, he saw a person walk in outside Wen Mingyuan.
Liu Yi took a closer look and saw that this person was Dong Zhuo's son-in-law Niu Fu.
I saw that at this time, Niu Fu was carrying a human head that was still dripping blood in his hand, and under the frightened gaze of the ministers, Niu Fu walked straight forward.
At this time, everyone finally saw the appearance of the human head in Niu Fu's hand.
"Cui Situ?" Huangfu Song in the crowd pointed to the head in Niu Fu's hand and exclaimed.
When everyone heard Huangfu Song's exclamation, they looked at it fixedly, and suddenly took a breath of cool air.
This person is Cui Lie Cui Situ, who has a gap with Dong Zhuo!
Seeing that the ministers in the courtyard began to discuss, Dong Zhuo on the side stood up with a smile.
"Cui Lie's family is secretly plotting to kill our family, and our family has no choice but to correct it on the spot! Fear not! As long as you support our family a lot and don't do those unsightly things behind your back, our family will definitely not treat you like this! Dong Zhuo said to everyone seriously.
After speaking, Dong Zhuo gestured to Niu Fu. I saw that Niu Fu then threw the head in his hand into the wine ding, and then stirred it with a wine spoon.
After a while, Dong Zhuo ordered his subordinates to distribute the wine in Dingzhong to the ministers present, and poured himself a glass.
"Gentlemen, let's have another drink with us!" As he spoke, Dong Zhuo smiled and raised the wine glass in his hand.
The ministers in the courtyard looked at the reddened wine glasses in front of them, and some of them had a few traces of Cui Lie's green hair floating in them, and suddenly felt their stomachs tumbling. Even Liu Yi frowned and didn't reach for the wine glass.
"What do you mean, gentlemen? You have all eaten the meat of the old thief Cui Lie, why don't you want to drink a glass of wine boiled with his head now? ”
Hearing Dong Zhuo's words, everyone was stunned for a moment, and then began to vomit.
Seeing that many people were spitting out the meat they had just eaten with their hands clasped in their throats, Liu Yi felt nauseous, and his stomach became uncomfortable.
Dong Zhuo looked at the ministers in the courtyard who were bowing their heads and vomiting, and drank a large sip of blood wine in the cup with an indifferent expression, and then said coldly to Niu Fu, "This wine is not good, the taste of blood is too light!" ”
Niu Fu nodded when he heard this, and then raised his knife and walked to a minister who was vomiting.
I saw Niu Fu's hand rise and fall, and a human head rolled to the ground.
Ushisuke picked up the human head on the ground, then walked quickly to the wine pod and threw it in.
Wang Yun, Lu Zhi and others were stunned by this scene, and they hurriedly covered their mouths and didn't dare to vomit again.
"Gentlemen, you're welcome, come on!"
After speaking, Dong Zhuo raised the wine glass in his hand again.
