Chapter 157: Assassinating Dong Zhuo (2)
After having breakfast at Cao Cao's mansion, several people briefly discussed the details of the assassination of Dong Zhuo, and then Liu Yi returned to the mansion with Xi Zhicai and Guan Yu.
"Lord, do you think Cao Cao's assassination of Dong Zhuo can succeed?" On the way back, Xi Zhicai couldn't help but ask the question in his heart.
When Liu Yi in front heard this, he turned around and smiled, "Whether it can be achieved depends on the will of God, anyway, it doesn't matter to us whether it is successful or not, and when the time comes, we can just act according to the plan!" ”
After speaking, Liu Yi also deliberately asked Xiang Xi Zhicai, "Zhicai, has Mr. Cheng notified you?" ”
Hearing this, Xi Zhicai nodded and said, "I have already sent someone to inform you, with Brother Zhongde's ability, I'm afraid we will get things done before we go back!" ”
Seeing that Xi Zhicai admired Cheng Yu's ability so much, Liu Yi was very pleased.
"With you and Brother Cheng here, it's hard to think about it!" As soon as Liu Yi remembered what Xi Zhicai talked to him about future development late at night some time ago, he couldn't help but admire it in his heart.
Hearing Liu Yi praise himself like this, Xi Zhicai replied with some embarrassment, "Eating the king's luck, loyal to the king, these things are supposed to be done by subordinates and others." ”
When Liu Yi heard this, he patted Xi Zhicai's shoulder and said with a smile, "If this matter is successful, I will definitely reward you and Yun Chang when I go back!" ”
didn't wait for Xi Zhi to speak, Guan Yu on the side heard this, and said, "If this matter is successful, the credit belongs to the husband and the lord, and the subordinates just have some physical strength!" ”
"Yun Chang, when did you start to be so modest! Hahaha! ”
The three of them talked and laughed all the way, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.
After returning home, Liu Yi simply instructed Guan Yu and Xi Zhicai some things, and then walked to Dong Zhuo's mansion alone.
The reason why he dared to go alone was not because Liu Yi thought his force was strong, but because now Liu Yi has won Dong Zhuo's trust, and Lu Bu is here, Liu Yi is not worried that Dong Zhuo will poison himself.
It is no secret that Lu Bu and Liu Yi have a good relationship, and Dong Zhuo sees that his righteous son and his staff get along very well. I was also very relieved. Loving the house and Wu, Dong Zhuo is also very relieved of Liu Yi because of his trust in Lu Bu.
As soon as Liu Yi entered Dong Zhuo's mansion, he saw that the people inside were running and busy, Liu Yi pulled over a subordinate and asked curiously, "What are you doing in the mansion, so lively?" ”
Seeing that it was Liu Yi, the next person hurriedly bowed, and then replied respectfully, "Back to Lord Liu, isn't this the dormitory where Lord Xiangguo plans to repair the nap, the little ones are busy buying things!" ”
Hearing this, Liu Yi suddenly became interested.
"Then go get busy!" After Liu Yi gave an order, he strode towards the lobby.
"Hey~ A few of you go over there and bring the vase sent by Master Zhang!"
As soon as I entered the inner courtyard in front of the lobby, I saw Li Ru shouting in the courtyard and directing those people who were carrying various utensils.
Seeing Liu Yi coming, Li Ru suddenly walked up with a harmless smile.
"Lord Liu is here! Please! ”
Seeing that Li Ru was so enthusiastic on the surface, Liu [ ...& better and faster
Yi also cooperated and pretended to be happy.
"Lord Li, who are you?" Liu Yi asked knowingly.
Hearing this, Li Ru came to Liu Yi and said mysteriously, "After Lord Xiangguo slept in the harem a few days ago, he came back and wanted to repair the palace!" ”
"Oh? And such things? Liu Yi pretended to be surprised.
Li Ru saw that Liu Yi's expression was nothing but surprise, and he didn't say anything, but pointed to the inner hall and signaled that Dong Zhuo was in the inner hall.
"Lord Li is busy first, and I will go and ask Lord Xiangguo to go first!"
After saying goodbye, Liu Yi turned around and walked towards the inner hall.
Just like the inner hall, I saw Dong Zhuo sitting on the main seat eating fruit, and Lu Bu, Jia Xu, Li Yu and others were all around.
"Oops, Captain Liu is here! Come on in! Seeing Liu Yi, Dong Zhuo shouted happily.
Hearing this, Liu Yi walked into the inner hall with a smile on his face.
"Subordinate Liu Yi, I have come to greet Lord Xiangguo!" Liu Yi respectfully bowed to Dong Zhuo.
Dong Zhuo laughed out loud when he saw this, and then called Liu Yi to his side.
As soon as he arrived in front of Dong Zhuo, Liu Yi asked puzzledly, "Lord Xiangguo, why did you suddenly remember to repair the dormitory?" ”
I saw Dong Zhuo put down the fruit that had been gnawed half of the remaining fruit in his hand, and sighed yearningly, "Our family is fortunate to be summoned by our little emperor to sleep in the harem for a night, and our family who slept this night is very touched!" ”
After speaking, Dong Zhuo pointed to the already exquisite furnishings and furniture around him, and said indignantly, "Compared with the palace, these things are a bunch of damn rags!" Our family thought that now our family is also the pillar of the country, but we can't lose the face of our emperor, so our family wants to repair our own dormitory according to the appearance of the palace! ”
Saying that, Dong Zhuo also pointed at Liu Yi boldly and said, "When our house is repaired, you have to come and visit!" ”
Liu Yi on the side heard this, and scolded Dong Zhuo in his heart for being shameless, while laughing, "That's for sure, Xia Guan hasn't entered the harem in his life, if he can see the appearance of the harem in Xiangguo, it is really a blessing for three lives!" ”
Liu Yi's flattering words immediately caused Dong Zhuo to laugh again.
While everyone was chatting, Liu Yi suddenly saw a large bronze mirror two meters square on the side of the wall, and the surface of the mirror was polished very brightly.
"Xiangguo, why did you put such a big mirror there?" Liu Yi asked curiously.
When Dong Zhuo heard this, he pointed to the big mirror and exclaimed proudly, "Isn't it much better to use this mirror to tidy up your makeup than that small broken mirror the size of a basin?" ”
Liu Yi heard the words and said yes again and again.
Then Dong Zhuo said to Liu Yi mysteriously, "There is also such a mirror in the emperor's bedroom, but it is bigger than our family, and in order to avoid suspicion, our family can only deal with the whole small one first!" ”
Liu Yi looked at Dong Zhuo's hypocritical expression, and really wanted to go up and kick it a few times.
I want to think about it, but if I really want Liu Yi to go up and kick Dong Zhuo, Liu Yi will definitely not dare, so he can only compliment Dong Zhuo on the side.
"My lord, see you as a subordinate, this mirror
Placed here, I'm afraid it's not very good for the feng shui in the whole house! ”
Without waiting for Dong Zhuo to ask, Jia Xu on the side laughed first.
"What? Does Lord Liu still know Feng Shui? ”
When Liu Yi heard this, he knew that Jia Xu was ridiculing himself, but since he had said everything, he had to continue pretending.
"I understand! Slightly understood! ”
Dong Zhuo was first surprised when he heard this, "Oh? sighed, then took Liu Yi's hand and asked, "Then you tell our family, where is this mirror place?" ”
When Liu Yi heard this, he pointed to the bed under Dong Zhuo and said, "According to the opinion of his subordinates, it is better to put the mirror next to the bed, so that even if the adults are asleep, they can see the movements behind them, so that those wandering ghosts and evil gods will not dare to disturb the adults!" ”
Hearing this, Dong Zhuo thought for a while, then laughed and said to Liu Yi, "Hmm! What you say makes a lot of sense! ”
Then Dong Zhuo asked his subordinates to move the bronze mirror to the side of the bed.
After getting it done, Dong Zhuo also lay down and tested it himself. After Dong Zhuo lay down, through the bronze mirror in front of him, he saw that the movements of Liu Yi and others behind him were clearly seen, and Dong Zhuo couldn't help but be happy.
"Come on, bring our long sword!"
As he spoke, he saw a subordinate carefully present a well-made long sword.
After Dong Zhuo took the long sword, he swung it twice, and then handed it to Liu Yi with some reluctance.
"This sword has been fighting with our family in the north and south for a few years, so I'll give it to you now!"
When Liu Yi heard this, his heart blossomed, and he thought that he would come to what was really lacking! But out of politeness, Liu Yi still pretended to shirk it.
"My lord, this sword is a personal thing of the adult, and his subordinates have not made an inch of merit to receive this public reward, a little unpleasant?"
When Dong Zhuo saw Liu Yi like this, he immediately fell in love with Liu Yi.
"Now that our family has been ordered to take up the post of Xiangguo, there will be fewer opportunities to fight in the future, if there is a war in the future, you still need to wait for the service, you can keep this sword!"
Seeing that Dong Zhuo wanted to use this sword to completely buy himself to serve him, the trace of goodwill that Dong Zhuo had just raised suddenly disappeared without a trace.
"In that case, it's better for your subordinates to be respectful!"
Liu Yi took the long sword in Dong Zhuo's hand "Thanksgiving", and then after chatting a few more words with everyone, he took the sword out of Dong's mansion.
As soon as he got out of Dong's mansion, Liu Yi did not go back to the house directly, but specially ran to the city gate.
Now the important places in the city, including the palace and the city gate, are guarded by the three thousand flying bear troops under Dong Zhuo.
These people have been following Dong Zhuo since they were in Liangzhou, and they can be said to be the trump card army in Dong Zhuo's hands.
When the soldiers defending the city saw Liu Yi coming, they simply nodded their heads, but when they saw the saber on Liu Yi's waist, they gave Liu Yi a heavy blow.
Seeing this, Liu Yi knew that Dong Zhuo really didn't lie to him, so he ran back to the house.
After returning to the house, it happened that Xi Zhicai and Guan Yu were also in the house, so Liu Yi told the two of them about Dong Zhuo's saber.
The drama on the side couldn't help but sigh: "This."
Now we have full confidence that it will be done! ”
......
Two days later, at noon, in Dong Zhuo's mansion.
At this time, Dong Zhuo, as usual, was resting leisurely on the bed in the renovated inner hall.
"My lord, Lord Li asks to see you!" The subordinates outside the door cautiously reported, for fear that a loud noise would alarm Dong Zhuo and cause him to kill himself.
Dong Zhuo, who was pretending to be asleep, heard that Li Ru was coming, so he got up and beckoned his subordinates to bring Li Ru up.
After a while, Li Ru walked in.
"Wen You is here! Sit down! ”
Hearing this, Li Ru glanced at the big bronze mirror behind Dong Zhuo, and then walked aside with a smile.
"Wen You, what's going on here at noon?" Dong Zhuo asked Li Ru while drinking the hot tea handed over by his subordinates.
Hearing this, Li Ru got up and leaned over and said, "My subordinates just learned from the spies in the palace that Liu Wei, who was imprisoned in Yong'an Palace, made a very complaining poem this morning!" ”
"Oh? What poem? Let's talk to our family! ”
Hearing this, Li Ru hurriedly told Dong Zhuo the content of the poem.
"The tender grass is green and smokey, and there are two flying swallows. Luoshui is green, and strangers are envious. Looking at the blue clouds in the distance, it is my old palace. Who is loyal and righteous, and vents the grievances in my heart! ”
After listening, Dong Zhuo muttered to himself several times The last sentence "Who is loyal and righteous, vent the resentment in my heart!" After that, he threw the teacup in his hand to the ground.
"Hmph~ Our family was thinking about how to deal with him, but I didn't expect him to send it to the door by himself!"
After speaking, Dong Zhuo looked at Li Ru and ordered with murderous intent, "You immediately bring someone into the palace and kill this abolished emperor for our family!" ”
When Li Ru heard this, he responded solemnly, and then said to Dong Zhuo flatteringly, "Enxiang will rest for a while, and when Enxiang wakes up from a nap, his subordinates will definitely come to report the good news!" ”
After speaking, Li Ru walked out with a few soldiers.
As soon as Li Ru left the Dong Mansion, in a corner near the Dong Mansion, a small guy saw Li Ru leaving the mansion with people, and hurriedly ran towards Liu Yi's mansion.
didn't go far, Li Ru happened to meet Cao Cao. Seeing Cao Cao walking in the direction of Dong Zhuo's Mansion with a worried face, Li Ru was a little curious, so he greeted him.
"What's wrong with Meng De, with a sad face?"
Cao Cao, who was looking down and thinking about something, was startled by Li Ru's sudden shout, and hurriedly looked up at the source of the sound.
Seeing that it was Li Ru, Cao Cao's thoughts flickered, and then he squeezed out a wry smile and said, "Alas~ My father is sick, and I want to ask for a leave of absence from Lord Xiangguo and go home to visit my father!" ”
Li Ru saw that Cao Cao said that his father was seriously ill, so he did not suspect it, but comforted Cao Cao and said, "Uncle has always been in good health, there must be no big problem, Brother Meng De doesn't have to worry so much!" ”
Cao Cao nodded when he heard this, and glanced at Li Ru "gratefully".
I saw Li Ru with more than a dozen soldiers in armor, and one of them was holding a square plate in his hand, and a delicate wine jug was placed on the plate.
"Brother Li, this is?" Cao Cao pointed to the people behind Li Ru and asked suspiciously.
Seeing Cao Cao asking, Li Ru also
It was not good to tell Dong Zhuo about arranging for him to kill Liu Wei, so he made a big haha, and then said goodbye to Cao Cao.
Just when the two of them were interrupting, the little guy who was outside the door of Dong's mansion before had already run to Liu Yi's house.
At this time, in Liu Yi's mansion, in addition to Xi Zhicai, there were only 400 soldiers left who were ready to go. But Liu Yi and Guan Yu, as well as the hundred poisonous scorpion soldiers who were missing, did not know where to go.
"You can see clearly, Li Ru went out with the soldiers!" Xi Zhicai pulled the little guy and asked urgently.
"See clearly, sir!" The little guy nodded firmly.
When Xi Zhicai heard this, he hurriedly ran out of the mansion with two poisonous scorpions dressed in subordinate costumes.
It is said that from Dong Zhuo's Mansion to the Imperial Palace, it is necessary to pass through a prosperous urban area.
At this time, Li Ru and his party had just walked to the downtown area, and suddenly heard someone in the crowd shouting their names.
"Master Li stays! Master Li stays! ”
Hearing someone shouting his name, Li Ru stopped and watched.
At a glance, I saw that Xi Zhicai was running towards him sweating profusely.
Because of Liu Yi's relationship, Li Ru also had some impressions of Xi Zhicai, and now that he saw Xi Zhicai to stop himself, although Li Ru was a little displeased, he still greeted Liu Yi because of his face.
"Why did Mr. Xi run out alone? What about Lord Liu? As soon as the two met, Li Ru pretended to be surprised and asked.
I saw that Xi Zhicai gasped for breath and wiped the sweat beads on his forehead a few times, and then replied, "My lord is resting at home, didn't Lord Xiangguo give my lord a sword a few days ago!" My family went back and thought that it would be better to return a gift, so they sent me out to buy a gift for Xiangguo-sama! ”
After speaking, I saw Xi Zhicai make a helpless expression and said, "The key is that I don't know what Lord Xiangguo likes, and I haven't made up my mind after wandering around for a long time, didn't I just happened to meet Lord Li in the crowd, so I ran over and asked Lord Li, what do Lord Xiangguo usually like?" ”
Hearing that Xi Zhicai said that Liu Yi was going to buy something to bribe Dong Zhuo, Li Ru couldn't help but start to despise Liu Yilai. But when he saw most of the bags of gold and silver carried by the servant behind Xi Zhicai, Li Ru, who was greedy for money, suddenly had a light in his eyes.
"It is said that wealth is not exposed, it seems that this Liu Yi is really an arrogant person!" Li Ru looked at the gold and silver in the servant's hand as if he was deliberately taking it out to show off, and after secretly mocking Liu Yi, he looked at Xi Zhicai with a look of embarrassment and said, "Tell you, it's not impossible, but well!" ”
Seeing this, Xi Zhicai pretended to be stunned for a moment, then took out a handful of the bag in the servant's hand with a sneer, and then stuffed it into Li Ru's hand.
"I know that adults are embarrassed, so I can't let adults say no!" Xi Zhicai said to Li Ru with a "flattering" face.
Li Ru looked down briefly when he heard this, and saw that the thing that Xi Zhicai had stuffed over was a few gold ingots, and immediately a smile appeared on his face.
"Brother Xi, what are you doing here? It's all for Lord Xiangguo, or else! Li Ru pretended to excuse himself.
Seeing this, Xi Zhicai first scolded Li Ru in his heart, and then began to compliment Li Ru.
Just when the two were pushing and pushing. Cao Cao has come to Dong Zhuo's mansion.
"I've seen Lord Cao!" When several subordinates saw Cao Cao coming, they hurriedly whispered.
When Cao Cao heard this, he didn't call someone over and asked, "Lord Xiangguo, can you be in the inner hall?" ”
Seeing Cao Cao's loud voice, the subordinate hurriedly made a silent gesture and said, "Lord Xiangguo is taking a nap in the hall!" If you have something to do, let's wait a while! ”
When Cao Cao heard this, he was overjoyed, and after giving the next person a word, he tiptoed to the inner hall.
Dong Zhuo drank a sip of the liquor by himself after instructing Li Ru, and then lay down on the couch to rest, although the liquor was very strong, but because of the reason why Li Ru went to kill Liu Wei, Dong Zhuo couldn't sleep for a while, just half-asleep and half-awake there.
Because Cao Cao's voice was very soft, he didn't wake up Dong Zhuo, who was sleeping lightly.
After Cao Cao cautiously came to Dong Zhuo's side, seeing that Dong Zhuo was turning his back to him at this time, Cao Cao was ruthless in his heart, and gently pulled out the seven-star treasure knife that Liu Yi gave him that day.
Cao Cao was very careful when he drew the knife, and almost didn't make any sound, but what Cao Cao didn't expect was that the seven-star knife was too bright, and the knife had just been pulled out a little, and the sunlight shone on the knife, and a strong light was suddenly reflected.
The strong light reflected by the blade happened to hit Dong Zhuo's eyes after being reflected by the copper mirror, and Dong Zhuo, who was already sleeping very lightly, was suddenly awakened by this strong light.
"What man!?" Dong Zhuo, who had just opened his eyes, saw a figure in the mirror through the white light, so he screamed.
