Chapter 161: Acquiescence to the relationship

After secretly scolding Wang Yun, Liu Yi began to feel worried in his heart.

"I kidnapped Diao Chan now, will Lu Bu still kill Dong Zhuo in the future? Ay? Why do I use the word crutches? ”

Along the way, Liu Yi kept thinking about how the relationship between Lu Bu and Dong Zhuo would develop in Diao Chan's absence, so he never spoke to Guan Yu.

Guan Yu beside him always thought that Liu Yi was angry with himself because of his own assertions, so he didn't dare to disturb Liu Yi, so he could only quietly accompany Liu Yi.

When Liu Yi and the others came to the camp, they saw that Xi Zhicai was organizing people in the camp and preparing to return to Zhuo County.

Seeing Liu Yi coming back, Xi Zhicai hurriedly ran up.

"Lord, is everything going well?" Xi Zhicai asked with a concerned face.

"Hmm," Liu Yi nodded, didn't say too much, but looked at the big tent in the middle of the camp and asked, "Young Emperor, are they in the tent?" ”

Xi Zhicai nodded when he heard this, answered, and then after thinking about it, he said with some hesitation, "Diao Chan girl is also there!" ”

As soon as Xi Zhicai said this, he obviously felt Liu Yi's body shake.

"Got it, you two go with me to say hello to the young emperor!" After speaking, Liu Yi took Guan Yu and Xi Zhicai to the big tent of the Chinese army.

Seeing Liu Yi's lack of interest, Xi Zhicai behind him scolded Guan Yu beside him, and then showed an inquiring look, Guan Yu saw this, and replied to Xi Zhicai's helpless look.

When Liu Yi and the three of them were about to arrive at the big tent, they suddenly heard the sound of two women talking inside.

"Since you are Wang Situ's daughter, Wang Situ has worked hard to rescue my mother and daughter, and now you are not by your father's side, but escaped from Luoyang with us. The outside world is difficult, and it is difficult for you to survive without a little girl's family. ”

There was a lot of majesty in the voice of the person who spoke, even if he didn't see it, Liu Yi knew that this was the Empress Dowager He talking to Diao Chan.

As soon as the words fell, the voice of the Empress Dowager He came from inside, "This palace wants to accept you as a righteous daughter, so that you can be regarded as having a support in the future, and I can be regarded as repaying some Wang Situ for saving his life, I don't know if you are willing?" ”

As soon as they heard this, the three people outside the tent looked at each other, and their faces were full of surprise.

At this moment, before Diao Chan could reply, he heard a slightly unwilling male voice from inside, "Queen Mother~ Sister is so beautiful, I want my sister to be my concubine!" Wouldn't that be better than being your daughter-in-law! ”

As soon as these words came out, Xi Zhicai and Guan Yu looked at Liu Yi with shocked expressions.

Liu Yi was stared at by the two, his expression was a little unnatural, he lowered his voice and scolded the two, "What the hell are you two looking at me? ”

The two looked at each other and smiled meaningfully.

After laughing, he gave Guan Yu a look, Guan Yu immediately understood the meaning, and raised his feet to walk towards the tent.

By the time Liu Yi reacted, it was too late, and he saw that Guan Yu had already lifted the curtain and walked in.

Guan Yu's sudden appearance suddenly jumped the Empress Dowager He and several people in the tent

, there was an exclamation from inside the tent.

"General Guan, why didn't you say anything when you came?" Empress Dowager He on the bed was obviously a little unhappy about Guan Yu's sudden intrusion, and was looking at Guan Yu with some anger at this time.

When Guan Yu heard this, he didn't care about Empress Dowager He's harsh reprimand, and after bowing respectfully to Empress Dowager He and the Young Emperor, he turned his head to look at Diao Chan who was looking down at his feet at this time.

"Second master, the lord has returned!"

"Second master?" As soon as Guan Yu's voice fell, two exclamations came from outside the tent and inside the tent at the same time.

The exclamation inside the tent came from Liu Wei, who originally wanted to accept Diao Chan as a concubine, while the exclamation outside the tent came from Liu Yi, who looked confused.

"Holy! Yun Chang is too straightforward, I mean let him enter the account to stop Liu Wei from talking further, he is good, and he will help the lord settle the matter all of a sudden! Even Xi Zhicai couldn't help but burst into foul language at this time.

"But it's not a bad thing to think about!" Thinking about it, Xi Zhi showed a playful smile.

Because Liu Yi's exclamation was very loud, it had already reached the ears of Empress Dowager He and Liu Wei.

"It's Liu Aiqing outside the tent?" Empress Dowager He was the first to react.

Hearing what Empress Dowager He said, Liu Yi reacted and hurriedly walked into the tent.

As soon as he entered the big tent, he saw Guan Yuzheng looking at him indifferently, but Diao Chan behind him was blushing to his neck at this time.

After Liu Yi glanced at Guan Yu fiercely, he turned to the Empress Dowager He and Liu Wei and said, "Weichen Liu Yi, meet Your Majesty and the Empress Dowager." ”

Seeing that Liu Yi was so polite, Empress Dowager He on the bed couldn't help but show a relieved smile. But Liu Wei on the side did not have a very good face at this time, it seemed that Guan Yu said that Diao Chan was the second lady of Liu Yi just now, which deeply hurt the little emperor's self-esteem.

Empress Dowager He looked at Liu Wei with an angry look, and after lamenting in her heart, she looked at Liu Yi with a warm smile and said, "Liu Aiqing, please sit down!" ”

Liu Yi thanked him when he heard this, and then sat down on the wooden chair beside him.

"This time, my mother and son were able to escape Dong Zhuo's hands, thanks to Liu Aiqing, please Liu Aiqing be worshiped by the palace!"

After speaking, I saw that the Empress Dowager He stood up and bent over to make a salute to Liu Yi.

Seeing this, Liu Yi hurriedly stepped forward to help Empress Dowager He up.

"The Queen Mother and Your Majesty are the foundation of the society, Dong Zhuo Cholera Dynasty, Weichen is powerless to kill the thief, so he can only make this decision, and I hope that the Queen Mother and Your Majesty will not blame!" Liu Yi said respectfully.

Hearing this, Empress Dowager He smiled "gently", and then said, "Dong Zhuo's tiger and wolf generation, although my mother and son were demoted to Yong'an Palace, but with Dong Zhuo's character, sooner or later I will find an excuse to kill my mother and daughter, and now I have left Luoyang, although I have left the palace, but at least my mother and son have saved their lives." It's all thanks to you, Aiqing! ”

"The Queen Mother has won the award!"

After a few more chats in the tent, they saw that Empress Dowager He's voice changed, and after glancing at Diao Chan in the corner of the tent, she looked at Liu Yi again, and then said to Liu Yi with a smile, "Liu Aiqing is really blessed to have such a beautiful person by her side!" ”

Hearing Empress Dowager He's words, I saw Liu Yi, who was sitting next to Empress Dowager He, pouting and snorting coldly. Liu Yi and Diao Chan glanced at each other, and then both of them were embarrassed to stagger each other's gaze.

Because Guan Yu said everything just now, if Liu Yi did not admit the relationship with Diao Chan at this time, I am afraid that Guan Yu would be accused of bullying the king, in order to prevent Guan Yu from bearing such a charge, Liu Yi had to acquiesce to the relationship between the two. (Of course, this is all Liu Yi's own excuse to comfort himself, as for what he really thinks, only he knows)

Diao Chan on the side of the nervous little hands at this time began to sweat, after meeting at Wang Yun's mansion that day, Diao Chan fell in love with Liu Yi, that day Wang Yun and Diao Chan talked about arranging for her and Liu Yi to go out of the city together, Diao Chan had already acquiesced to Liu Yi for his life.

When I heard Liu Wei and Empress Dowager He say that he wanted to be his concubine, Diao Chan was very scared, afraid that Empress Dowager He would agree to Liu Bian's request.

At this time, seeing that Liu Yi acquiesced to his relationship with him, Diao Chan bumped into the deer in his heart, and his head lowered unnaturally.

Empress Dowager He, who is also a woman, knew her mind as soon as she saw Diao Chan's appearance. After glancing at the uncompetitive son beside her, Empress Dowager He turned her head to Liu Yi and said, "This palace wants your wife to be my daughter-in-law, I don't know if Aiqing is willing?" ”

Liu Yi saw that Empress Dowager He was still insisting on making Diao Chan a righteous daughter, and after thinking about it for a while, he secretly scolded Empress Dowager He for being "old and cunning", and began to think about how to refuse.

Seeing that Liu Yi was embarrassed and didn't speak, Empress Dowager He's face suddenly sank.

Seeing this, the drama on the side hurriedly smiled and came up to play a round.

"The Queen Mother's Holy Grace, my family was excited for a while, and I was a little out of shape, and I hope the Queen Mother will not blame!"

Hearing this, Liu Yi hurriedly raised his head and glanced at Xi Zhicai, only to see that Xi Zhicai was giving Liu Yi a look.

Liu Yi frowned when he saw this, but when he thought that Xi Zhicai didn't look like that kind of unreliable person, he looked at Diao Chan.

Seeing Diao Chan looking at him with an expression of "all listen to you", Liu Yi finally stopped hesitating, turned back to the Empress Dowager He and said, "Thank you for the grace of the Empress Dowager!" ”

Seeing that Liu Yi promised Empress Dowager He, he smiled again.

After everyone chatted in the tent for a while, Liu Yi and the others walked out of the tent.

Because the army is full of men, it is not suitable to serve the Empress Dowager He, so Liu Yi ordered Diao Chan to stay by Empress Dowager He's side, and part of the reason for this is that Liu Yi does not know how to face Diao Chan now.

As soon as the big tent came out, Liu Yi hurriedly pulled Guan Yu and Xi Zhicai aside.

"Tell me about you both, ah! Can there be one that will make me worry! As soon as he got to the place where there was no one, Liu Yi began to accuse Guan Yu and the others of their behavior in the tent just now.

Seeing Liu Yi accusing himself inconsistently, Guan Yu symbolically compensated Liu Yi for not being right, and Liu Yi was also very interested in getting off the donkey downhill and not pursuing Guan Yu.

After finishing talking about Guan Yu, Liu Yi pointed the finger at Xi Zhicai again.

"Zhicai, Yun Chang was forced to be helpless in a hurry just now

In that case, it can be regarded as excusable, but no one forced you just now, why did you ask me to agree to Empress Dowager He's request! You must know that we can't have too deep a relationship with her now, otherwise it will be difficult to do things in the future! ”

When the drama on the side heard this, he laughed hehe, and then replied confidently, "Don't worry, although the Empress Dowager He has some skills, but now that she is here with us, her subordinates are confident that she will not be able to make any big waves, the reason why the lord just let the lord promise the Empress Dowager He Diao Chan is just to take this opportunity to give the Empress Dowager He a peace of mind pill!" ”

……

In Luoyang City, Dong Zhuo's mansion.

"Rubbish! All fucking bunch of shit! ”

I saw Dong Zhuo blushing and his neck thickly pointing at Lu Bu, Niu Fu and others in front of him, and scolded with his mouth open.

"If you can't catch it, forget it, and lose a third of my elite! What do you mean by not being a waste? ”

In the face of Dong Zhuo's scolding, Lu Bu and the others were powerless to refute, so they could only stand aside honestly and suffer it.

After scolding for a while, Dong Zhuo couldn't move a little scolding, so he stopped.

Seeing this, Li Ru on the side hurriedly poured a cup of tea and handed it over.

Seeing this, Dong Zhuo glanced at Li Ru, snatched the teacup, and then raised his head to drink the tea in the cup.

"Wen You, in addition to the edict to hunt down Cao Cao, you immediately draft an edict to remove Liu Yi, just say that Liu Yi made rice, held the Queen Mother and King Hongnong hostage, and ordered the officials of You, He, and Hebei Prefectures to immediately lead troops to exterminate Liu Yi!"

"Yes!" After answering, Jia Xu ran down and began to draft the edict.

Soon, the edict of chasing down Cao Cao and exterminating Liu Yi spread all over the world.

Although the officials of the various states received the edict of the imperial court to suppress thieves, except for one person, the rest of the states and counties basically gave Dong Zhuo's orders, laughed it off, and ignored it.

And the only person who said that he would abide by the orders of the imperial court was none other than Zhang Chun, the minister of Zhongshan who had an enmity with Liu Yi and others.

It is said that since Zhang Chun was recruited by Emperor Ling for rebellion and appointed as the prime minister of Zhongshan, he has acted more perversely.

In Zhang Chun's impression, as long as he has soldiers in his hands, even if he makes a mistake, the court will not dare to do anything to him. So during the time when he was in charge of Zhongshan Kingdom, the soldiers under his command burned and killed adultery, and adultery occurred frequently, and the people's lives were miserable.

Because of its extreme connivance with the soldiers under its command, it is deeply supported by those who misbehave.

Slowly, Zhang Chun's side gathered more and more chickens and dogs. The power is stronger than before.

Gradually, Zhang Chun began to be confused by the false prosperity around him, and began to be dissatisfied with the current position of Zhongshan Xiangguo.

Originally, Zhang Chun also had the intention of taking refuge in Dong Zhuo, but when he heard that Dong Zhuo was notoriously looking down on people, thinking about his identity as a traitor, Zhang Chun dispelled his mind of going to Luoyang.

But now that Dong Zhuo is coercing the Son of Heaven and pretending to pass on the edict, Zhang Chun suddenly sees an opportunity for his own development in it.

"If we can eliminate Liu Yi in one fell swoop this time, then Youzhou will be within reach! Ha ha

Ha~" Zhang Chun sat in the room and said to the soldiers in the hall with a treacherous face.

Most of the soldiers around Zhang Chun are also smugglers, and they don't have any real talents.

Hearing Zhang Chun's words, everyone nodded without even thinking about it.

"What the lord said is, what is Liu Yi, and he dares to compete with the lord?" I saw a sharp-beaked monkey-cheeked man come forward and said flatteringly to Zhang Chun.

may be because Zhang Chun is used to this kind of flattery from everyone, and after listening to this person's words, Zhang Chun really believed it. I really feel that I have the strength to compete with Liu Yi.

"Do you feel that way, too?" Zhang Chun looked at the rest of the people around him with a smug face and asked.

Seeing this, those people hurriedly nodded yes.

Seeing this, Zhang Chun laughed twice, and then began to deploy with everyone.

……

After Cao Cao escaped from Luoyang City, he did not run to his hometown, but ran in the direction of Chen Liu.

The reason why he fled to Chen Liu was because Chen Liu's Taishou Zhang Miao was a good friend of Cao Cao, and the relationship between the two was very good.

After a few days of escaping, Cao Cao had already eaten all the dry food he was carrying, and under the unbearable hunger, Cao Cao had no choice but to venture to a small nearby county town.

"Guest, what's the matter?"

I saw Cao Cao wearing a shabby straw hat in front of a food stall, and the lowered brim made it impossible to see his face clearly.

"Ten steamed buns are wrapped!" Cao Cao lowered his voice and pretended to be hoarse and said a word.

The owner of the food stall was puzzled when he heard this, but he didn't dare to ask more, and hurriedly wrapped ten steamed buns and handed them to Cao Cao.

Seeing this, Cao Cao took out a few pieces of broken silver that he had brought with him, then threw them on the table, and left without raising his head.

"Damn, it's pretty sideways!" Seeing Cao Cao walking away, the stall owner picked up one of his broken silver that Cao Cao accidentally threw on the ground and cursed.

Just when Cao Cao wanted to go out of the city and continue to abscond, he suddenly saw a group of people discussing around two notices.

Cao Cao knew that it was most likely his wanted warrant, so he swallowed the steamed bun in his mouth, and while the people around him were not paying attention, he grabbed a handful of black mud and smeared it on his face.

After feeling that no one could recognize him, Cao Cao also quietly approached the two notices.

When Cao Cao saw the first notice, he was not surprised, because it was exactly the notice he expected, wanted by himself. But when he saw the other one, a notice written that Liu Yi was coercing the young emperor to rebel, Cao Cao immediately frowned.

"Brother Yi really has a set!" After Cao Cao sighed at Liu Yi's boldness, he turned around and left.

It was such a big moment, what Cao Cao didn't expect was that he had been targeted by the county order of this county, and the way he just smeared mud on his face had been seen by the county order.

"Go get that guy here!"

"No!" Then several county soldiers ran towards Cao Cao quickly.

Cao Cao, who was running quickly outside the city, saw soldiers surrounding him on all sides, and couldn't help but lament in his heart, "My life is over!" ”

Without any struggle, Cao Cao was taken into custody

They were bundled up and sent to the yamen.

At this time, the county magistrate, who was sitting behind the official case, looked at Cao Cao who was covered with black mud in front of him, raised his head and laughed, "After all, Lord Cao was also an official to a school captain, why are you so cheap today?" ”

Cao Cao, who was tied up and knelt in front of the hall by the five flowers, sneered and replied, "Even if you know my name, don't you take my head to receive the reward!" ”

When the county magistrate heard this, he laughed again: "Lord Cao's head is worth a thousand gold, of course, you have to look at your head in front of it, so you can watch and observe!" ”

As soon as these words came out, the soldiers on both sides of the hall immediately laughed.

"Come on, press it into the dungeon immediately, wait for me to write a letter to the court, and make a decision next day!"

The soldiers on both sides said "promise" when they heard this, and then escorted Cao Cao into the dungeon.

Cao Cao, who was in prison, did not regret or fear, but began to reflect on the whole thing.

After thinking about it for a long time, Cao Cao burst into laughter.

"Brother Yi, it seems that the biggest winner of this turned out to be you! Cao admires! ”

While laughing, a person suddenly walked into the dungeon.

The man came to the dungeon where Cao Cao was being held, and after hearing Cao Cao's laughter, he couldn't help but quip, "Brother Meng De is really interested!" ”
