Chapter Ninety-Three: Dong Zhuo
It seems that there is no neat environment in all busy work places, and the original richly decorated Golden Horse Hall is now cluttered, and all kinds of processed copywriting are stacked in the corner and left unattended, scattered in the breeze, and I don't know who accidentally spilled ink to infect the knitted red carpet, and the broken brushes were thrown into the corners one by one, which was originally a place for literati and inkmen to chant elegance, but it turned out to be like this.

"It's really a day!" Zhang Liao took Lu Bu and Gao Shun into the Golden Horse Hall and said with emotion, "It's also a shame that this palace is wide enough, otherwise these things alone will make everyone unable to work." ”
Gao Shun looked at it and was happy: "There is a feeling of returning to the dormitory." ”
Lu Bu smiled, and his thoughts were pulled back to a long time ago by Gao Shun's words, when a few people had not crossed the time, and unconsciously so long had passed.
Lu Bu looked at the two people beside him, Zhang Liao was wearing a half-style armor at this time, mainly wearing a robe inside, and at the same time putting on the armor from the right arm to the shoulder, which was a kind of clothing that many people who were both civil and military and academic, and Gao Shun was wearing a capable short coat at this time.
"Count the time, it's been more than twenty years," Lu Bu thought to himself as he looked at Zhang Liao and Gao Shun who were walking towards the Golden Horse Palace, "We are all in our forties. ”
Looking back and thinking about it for so long, it seems that it is only increasing the age, but it is also normal, the growth of mental age is always related to people's experience, although the consciousness of Lu Bu and the three of them has spent more than forty years over time, but the more than twenty years after crossing is just repeating the previous age again, just like if a person is allowed to live his own time again, he cannot let him have a mind twice his current age, and some things will only be understood after they have been experienced, and there is nothing to be anxious about.
Shaking his head to dispel these blind thoughts, Lu Bu came back to his senses and followed Zhang Liao towards the hall.
At this time, in the Golden Horse Palace, there are many officials transferred from Liangzhou who are busy with political affairs, and a careful observation can see that all the busy centers of these officials who come and go are on the bodies of two people, these two people did not sit behind the desk originally set in the first place, but moved a big case in the center of the main hall, and sat side by side to deal with one matter after another.
Walking to a place that was only ten steps away from the two of them, Lu Bu looked at the two people in front of him with some surprise, to be precise, one of them, because the other person had a Confucian look on his face, it was easy to judge that he was Li Ru, and after the result was obtained, it was a little unacceptable that the other person was Dong Zhuo.
What kind of state was Dong Zhuo like after entering Luoyang in history? Although Zhang Liao has always written to Lu Bu and Gao Shun to instill that Dong Zhuo is not as brutal and unreasonable as in history, but no matter what, Dong Zhuo should at least be in power after entering Luoyang, right? At the very least, it should be sitting upright in the high hall, accepting the admiration or jealousy of the civil and military officials, and then waving his arms and saying something like "The Son of Heaven is dull, I want to abolish the establishment", right? How did it become the way it is now?
Dong Zhuo in history is a person who is so fat that it takes two horses to drag him, and the person in front of him is also strong, with a tiger's back and a bear's waist, Lu Bu, who has extremely high eyesight in martial arts, can see at a glance that this person is a skilled archer and horse, but this does not deviate too much from Lu Bu's previous assumptions, mainly at this time, this man who is very likely to be Dong Zhuo is holding a messy brush that is about to fork, with extremely obvious dark circles under his eyes, and he looks haggard with a look of reviewing the final exam until dawn.
Dong Zhuo saw Zhang Liao, stretched out his hand and grabbed his hair, it was obvious that he had been doing this action for a whole day, because his whole hair was like a chicken nest now, and he hurriedly said to Zhang Liao: "Wenyuan, you are here!" ”
After finishing speaking, Dong Zhuo dropped the brush in his hand and scolded: "him. Mother. 's annoying characters, Lao Tzu is going crazy by these things! ”
"Hurry, hurry, these things are handed over to you." Dong Zhuo stood up with a great sense of strength, waved his hand in disgust at the pile of copywriters in front of him, and called Zhang Liao to take over his work.
At this time, Li Ru, who was sitting on the side, smiled at Zhang Liao gently, although he was also tired for a day, Li Ru was far from feeling as uncomfortable as Dong Zhuo, and said: "The general shelf is about to be completed, in fact, there are not many left." ”
"Whew! It's finally going to be done, don't want me to do these things in the future, it seems that I have to find some talents to take care of political affairs......" Dong Zhuo put his hands on his waist and let out a vicious breath, his eyes suddenly noticed Lu Bu and the two who came in with Zhang Liao, "Huh? Who are these two? ”
Dong Zhuo cast an inquiring look at Zhang Liao, and then moved his eyes back to Lu Bu and the two of them again.
"Yuzhou Mu, these two people are the main book Lu Bu and the general Gao Shun under the original account of the state pastor, is Liao's best friend when he was in the state, today Dong Zhou Mu and Ding Zhou are friendly, the two of them remembered the love of the year into the city and Liao to get together, and the special introduction to the state pastor acquaintance." Zhang Liao respectfully explained to Dong Zhuo that he was still much more rigorous and calm in front of outsiders.
Lu Bu and Gao Shun also bowed to Dong Zhuo with Zhang Liao's introduction, it is said that Zhang Liao's introduction is relatively normal, and there is no logical problem with the meeting of the three of them as an ordinary gathering of friends.
"Oh?" Dong Zhuo was interested when he heard this, and laughed and said, "But Lord Ding assigned two people to come?" ”
Lu Bu stepped forward and replied truthfully: "It was not arranged by the state pastor, it was a private visit. ”
"Oh, hahaha......" Dong Zhuo laughed even more happily when he heard this, not at all haggard and tired as he is now, "If you have no official business, then you are a guest from afar, and you are shy to greet here, please go to the side hall to rest and wait." ”
Lu Bu and Gao thanked Dong Zhuo and went to the side hall to sit temporarily, and the attendant brought tea and pastries to entertain them, and after a while, Zhang Liao walked in with an embarrassed face.
"It's a pit, as soon as you leave, Dong Zhuo asked me if I could trust you." Zhang Liao said helplessly to Lu Bu and Gao Shun.
Lu Bu was surprised: "Why? ”
Zhang Liao smiled bitterly: "Dong Zhuo and Ding Yuan only had a good relationship before, but they didn't talk to Ding Yuan about Yuan Kui, and Ding Yuan still doesn't know that Yuan Kui is the mastermind of the Luoyang fire and the murder of the royal family. So the two of you can only be regarded as outsiders now, and they won't let you get in touch with things related to Yuan Kui. ”
Gao Shun asked, "Why is this?" Wouldn't it be better to talk to Ding Yuanming about it, and we can deal with Yuan Kui together? ”
Zhang Liao shook his head: "It's not that simple, just how to make Ding Yuan believe Dong Zhuo is a problem, there is no evidence, how can Ding Yuan believe it?" If Dong Zhuo insisted on mentioning it to Ding Yuan, it would be for nothing. ”
Lu Bu also frowned at this time: "Then what should we do in the future?" ”
"No way." Zhang Liao shrugged his shoulders and said, "At least it is difficult to deal with Yuan Kui in Luoyang together as originally planned, so we can only go back to our respective positions." I'm okay here, after all, the enemy is already clear, but I'm worried about Ding Yuan's place, only the two of you know about Yuan Kui's conspiracy, but you don't have much right to speak......"
"It's a problem......" Lu Bu and Gao Shun touched their foreheads together.
Outside the city of Luoyang, go to the land of twenty miles, and the state army camp.
Ding Yuan looked at the letter in his hand, which was presented to him by the person standing in front of him at this time, and it read: "Lu Bu and Gao Shun, the generals of the state department, visited Dong Zhuo privately. ”
"Ding Zhou Mu."
Hearing the man's call, Ding Yuan raised his head.
"What the head of my family said is true, if Ding Zhou Mu still has doubts, then it will be visible in a few days, and the content of the letter also hopes to attract the attention of the State Pastor. The little slave retired......" The voice faded away, and finally disappeared outside the tent.
In the middle of the night, the wind was tight, and the lights in the military tent were swaying, and Ding Yuan bowed his head in deep concern in the dim background of the candle flame.
