Volume 2: Sili Lieutenant's Department Chapter 88: The Fog Covers the Sky
Starting from Wugong County all the way, the soldiers obeyed, the flags were monstrous, the front was covered and the back was embraced, and the road was blocked.
After traveling for a long time, when Dong Zhuo and his party were about to support the wind on the right, the wind suddenly rose, the fog covered the sky, the people were dim, and they could hardly look at each other. Dong Zhuo was riding on horseback, and the Yuanyou crown on his head was almost blown by the wind, and even the sleeves of his robe were filled by the strong wind, and the hunting exploded, as if he wanted to be torn by the wind. I don't know how long the wind blew, and finally stopped, Dong Zhuo and his party were embarrassed, there were several broken flags, dozens of horses were scared away, and dozens of people were blown away by the wind. Everyone was shocked, all the horses were dark, and no one was spared.
Dong Zhuo hurriedly held the crown hat in both hands, and suddenly saw that the wind stopped, and the sky was a little dark, and he was also relieved. He raised his head, looked at the panicked sky, couldn't help but be shocked in his heart, and turned back to ask Li Su: "Captain Li, why do you say that there is such a strong wind and fog blocking the path of this Taishi, I don't know what the good luck and evil are?" ”
Li Su was behind him, and when the wind rose just now, if he hadn't rolled off the horse's back in time and hid behind the horse, he was afraid that his thin body would not be able to withstand the wind. He was also surprised by this breath, and the sky was suddenly dark and foggy, and the people and horses were gone, and he was even more frightened. He had just come out of his fright, and when he heard Dong Zhuo's question, he thought about it left and right, and couldn't help but scold in his heart: "Phew! Needless to say, I think Dong thief you usually do a lot of evil, and God knows that your death is coming, so I will give you a 'strong power' to see you off! Of course, it was inconvenient for him to point it out, but he just deceived Dong Zhuo and said: "When the lord ascends to the dragon throne, there will be red light and purple mist to strengthen the heavens and ears." ”
When Dong Zhuo heard this, he was overjoyed and didn't think about it. Haha, he smiled, dressed up, and ordered the team to continue to set off.
The next step on the road was quite smooth, and when it came to Chang'an City, there were hundreds of officials to greet him. When Dong Zhuo got off his horse, an official came forward and asked him to board the car and enter the city. Dong Zhuo snorted, and an entourage of soldiers stepped forward to cover the back, guarding Dong Zhuo to board the car. Dong Zhuo just sat down, glanced at everyone, couldn't help but be surprised, and asked left and right: "Where is Li Ru?" ”
Li Ru is his son-in-law, this time he went back to Chang'an, and he didn't see him out of the city to greet him, Dong Zhuo naturally felt that something was missing.
"Back to the Taishi, Master Li Ru is sick on the couch and can't go out of the city to greet him, I hope the Taishi will forgive me!"
Dong Zhuo swept it and saw that it was the Venerable Master of Li Rufu, so he didn't think much about it and ordered the car to start. He went all the way to the Prime Minister's Mansion, and as soon as he sat down, his righteous son Lu Bu came in and congratulated him. When Dong Zhuo heard this, he laughed and said: "I am on the ninth fiveth, and you will be the governor of the world." Lu Bu was shocked and hugged his arms in thanks. Dong Zhuo said a few words of encouragement to him, Lu Bu thanked him, and when he saw that it was dark, he came out of the Prime Minister's Mansion.
"Humph! Old horseman, if you dare to rob my woman, don't blame me for not tolerating you! ”
Lu Bu looked back, took one last look at the Prime Minister's Mansion, and then walked out. A soldier brought a maroon red horse, and Lu Bu stepped on the horse, looking at the front camp and hurrying away. Along the way, Lu Bu was agitated in his heart, thinking that after killing Dong Zhuo, no one would snatch Diao Chan from him anymore, and his smile couldn't help but spread on the corner of his mouth. Diao. Situ Wang Yun's righteous daughter, after Wang Yun decided to kill Dong Zhuo, used a series of tactics to first sacrifice her to Lu Bu, and then concealed it from him and dedicated it to Dong Zhuo. And Dong Zhuo, after occupying Diao Chan, had a son who was jealous of him, but he was reluctant to take this woman, so he took her to Hewu and wanted to keep it for himself. And after Lu Bu lost Diao Chan, he looked like crazy and hated Dong Zhuo very much, but he happened to be used by Wang Yun, so he came together. Lu Bu promised Wang Yun to kill Dong Zhuo, and Wang Yun promised to marry the little girl to him afterwards, and the two families hit it off. It's just ridiculous, he Dong Zhuo thought that after snatching Diao Chan, he would be able to make him forget the hatred of 'taking his wife' by casually sealing an official to him, which is of course impossible.
Shame and anger burned strongly in Lu Bu's heart.
Lu Bu gritted his steel teeth and passed all the way, unconsciously. And when he raised his head, Huo Ran found that he had walked to Li Ru's mansion. When Lu Bu saw the word 'Li Mansion', the corners of his mouth were hesitant, he got off the horse, and walked straight at Li Mansion. But it was also strange that Lu Bu passed all the way, and no one stopped him, allowing him to enter and leave as if he were in his own home. When he walked to the back room, a person greeted him and bowed to Lu Bu from a distance. Looking at this person's face, it suddenly turned out to be the Venerable Master of Li Ru's Mansion who had gone out of the city to greet Dong Zhuo and told Dong Zhuo Chen that Li Ru was sick on the bed.
When Lu Bu saw it, he bowed his head slightly, and asked him, "Is he still honest?" ”
When the man heard this, he nodded and said, "Don't worry, the general, he has always been 'sick' on the couch, and he hasn't stepped out of the door for two or three days." Lu Bu smiled with satisfaction, and glanced at the man, who immediately understood, and quickly opened the door left and right, and Lu Bu entered.
"Master Li, don't come unharmed!"
Lu Bu walked straight to the inner room, but saw that Li Ru was already sitting on the couch, holding a book in his hand and reading. When he saw Lu Bu coming in, he just raised his head slightly, glanced at him, and didn't feel anything strange, and then he still buried his head in the book in his hand, and there were no two words. Lu Bu moved slightly, snorted his nose, and pressed his hand on the saber, and he was about to get angry. But looking at his rickety body, he smiled with relief and continued: "Just now, my father-in-law, oh no, Dong Zhuo has just come from Yiwu, and he has already moved into the Prime Minister's Mansion. ”
"Oh?"
Hearing the news, Li Ru frowned and looked away from the book. He raised his head and finally spoke: "It has been more than ten days since the Taishi went to Yiwu, and there has been no news of him for a long time. ”
Lu Bu stared at him and said with a smile: "No wonder Dong Zhuo has always been obedient to Lord Li, and he is really a smart person." Haha, I don't want to talk nonsense, probably you can guess what's going to happen. I'm here to prepare your heart. ”
Li Ru's body moved, his eyes were fixed on Lu Bu, and seeing his resolute and resolute appearance, he couldn't help but sigh: "It seems that the general is determined to oppose the Taishi." However, general, if you are betrayed by the Taishi for the sake of a woman and kill your father with your son, aren't you afraid that you will spit on others and laugh at others in the future? ”
"Shut up!"
The two sword eyebrows on Lu Bu's face suddenly met, and a thunderous roar burst out of his throat, he pressed the sword with his wide hand, Ling Ran glared at Li Ru, and scolded: "Dong Zhuo, his surname is Dong, and my surname is Lu Bu, which son and father!" What's more, if it weren't for him Dong Zhuo who did nothing and robbed my woman, how could I, Lu Bu and him, get to this point? Now, either he dies or I die! ”
With a snap, Lu Bu picked up his saber and slashed at the wooden case, which was broken.
When Li Ru saw this, his eyes lit up, and then he darkened, and said with a smile: "I said this to advise the general, if the general continues to be such a child, it is difficult to seek great things!" General, remember what I said today, if you wake up today and immediately dispel the idea of murdering the Grand Master, this may still allow you to embark on the road of hegemony. But if you have been obsessed with the general, if you feel that women are more important than others, and insist on betraying the Taishi for a woman, I am afraid that even if the general you come down, it will not last long, and it will inevitably have the hatred of the overlord Wujiang in the end. ”
"Enough!"
Lu Bu's eyes burst out, he carried a knife, turned around, and glared at him angrily.
Li Ru threw away the book, laughed, and said unrelentingly: "It's a pity! A good man, he can obviously join forces with the Taishi to achieve immortal hegemony, but for the sake of a little woman and a pink skeleton, he is willing to fall into self-destruction, collude with others and want to murder his father-in-law! It's ...... Uh, you're going to ...... Will regret it! ”
"Die!"
Lu Bu stabbed a sword and looked at Li Rudang in the chest. Li Ru actually smiled, finished speaking, shook his head pitifully at him, stretched out his hand, and pushed the sword straight into the flesh and bones. It wasn't until the blood flowed all over the bedding and his last breath was broken that he stopped.
Lu Bu was slightly stunned, suddenly pulled out his sword, and walked out. Recalling Li Ru's words, he snorted: "I'm Lu Bu...... For the sake of my own woman, even if I betray the world, I will never regret it! "Squeak, a sword flower sharpened by a long sword rang all the way, and Lu Bu walked out of the Li Mansion all the way.
……
Prime minister's house, into the night.
Dong Zhuo had just given birth to the third daughter, and his body was a little tired, so he lay on the couch. Originally, if it was in normal times, he would have closed his eyes, but for some reason, he just couldn't sleep tonight. Perhaps, it is because tomorrow will accept Han Chan and will soon achieve the Ninth Five-Year Plan, right? He thought about it over and over again, his heart was excited, and he couldn't sleep with his eyes closed. However, he suddenly thought of coming all the way from Hewu, first the driver broke a wheel for no reason, then the bridle of the horse broke, and then there was a scene that was swept up by a strong wind on the road today, and the fog covered the sky, and he couldn't help but tremble. Although these things have been explained to him by Li Su in a few words and very unreasonable, he still feels that these are really some good signs?
"Hmm!"
At some point, he looked at the side with a fat hand and drooped down, which happened to be on the mouth of a maid next to him. And the maid, maybe she was dreaming of eating braised pork, she didn't want Dong Zhuo to put one arm on her mouth, but she actually took it as a fat hoof in her dream, and she bit it with her teeth. Although this bite may not be painful, it will leave a row of lovely tooth marks at most. However, she bit Dong Zhuo in her sleep, and at this time Dong Zhuo was grinding his teeth and falling asleep, still thinking about some annoyance, when he was suddenly bitten by her like this, he was horrified, raised his hand, and didn't care about thirty-seven twenty-one, he swept over with a slap, and swept the pile of white meat in his arms off the bed.
The poor maid was woken up in a dream, and rolled down to the ground in embarrassment, naked, and was stunned for a long time not knowing what was happening. There was a sudden movement inside, and there was also a soldier standing guard who immediately walked in, and was thrown by Dong Zhuo's big hand, and asked the woman to be carried down and killed. There was a miserable scream outside, and the other two women who accompanied Dong Zhuo inside were trembling with fear, for fear that Dong Zhuo would be angry and would do something to them again.
Fortunately, Dong Zhuo sat up at this time, kicked her off the bed one by one, and scolded: "Get out." When the two girls heard this, if they were pardoned, they didn't even have time to put on their clothes, so they wrapped their hands and ran out with their clothes in their arms. At this time, there was a miserable cry outside the house, and then there was no sound, thinking that the woman who angered Dong Zhuo had been killed. Sure enough, after a while, the armor soldier reported to Dong Zhuo, and Dong Zhuo snorted and didn't say anything else.
After such a toss, Dong Zhuo also felt tired, and he was about to lie down and sleep again. No, he just turned sideways, and his ears couldn't help but move, as if he heard something. He opened his ears and listened carefully, as if it was a child's voice. However, the voice did not seem to be spoken, but sung. was sent into his ears by the wind, but he really couldn't hear clearly, and there seemed to be something like 'not to live' in the sentence, which was entangled.
"Not to give birth?"
When Dong Zhuo heard this, he was shocked, and hurriedly called the armor soldiers and asked them to go outside to catch the wind and catch shadows and listen to what these children were singing. After a while, the armor finally came back and told Dong Zhuo everything they had heard: "The children outside sang, 'Qianli Cao, He Qingqing!'" Ten days, no life! ’”
When Dong Zhuo heard this, he frowned, thought for a long time, and didn't understand half a word, and immediately asked people to invite Li Ru overnight. After all, Li Ru is his son-in-law, he is resourceful, and he has always trusted him. As soon as the armor soldier agreed, there was a hehe outside the door, and Li Su came in and said to Dong Zhuo: "Have you forgotten that Master Li Ru is already sick on the couch, I'm afraid that I will invite him in the middle of the night, okay?" If the Taishi has any doubts, he might as well say that Su may be able to share a worry or two for the Taishi. ”
As soon as Dong Zhuo heard what he said, he immediately remembered, during the day, the Venerable Master of Li Ru's Mansion still said that Li Ru was sick, how could he forget this stubble? He smiled, and immediately said: "Li Duwei came from outside, he must have listened to the nursery rhymes outside, right?" But I don't know what that means? What is the good and the bad? What's the solution? ”
Li Su smiled, this sentence is not difficult to explain, after all, he has heard this nursery rhyme in Chang'an for a long time. The so-called Qianli grass, in which 'Qianli' is 'heavy', and the grass head is 'Dong'; and the ten days of Bu, 'ten', 'day' and 'Bu' add up to 'Zhuo'; 'still not born', which means death. It all adds up: Dong Zhuo is dead!
'Dong Zhuo is dead', of course he Li Su couldn't tell him like this, but just said: "What is said in this nursery rhyme is just that the Liu family is extinguished and the Dong family is prosperous, and the Taishi does not need to worry." ”
He explained this, but in his heart he was surprised. Thinking about it, if he hadn't come in time just now, if Dong Zhuo had sent someone to Li Ru's mansion, he would have exposed his feet and ruined the big thing. He also heard from Lu Bu a moment ago that Li Ru was now dead under his sword, and at this time, the Li Mansion was sealed, and not even a fly could be released. I think that if Dong Zhuo's people go and see something abnormal, then they will have lost all their efforts.
"Really? That's what it means? ”
When Dong Zhuo heard Li Su say this, he nodded and didn't think about it.
The next day, Dong Zhuo had already received news from before entering the court, saying that Chen Nuo's parents were taken to Yiwu by his people. Dong Zhuo listened, nodded, thought of something again, and asked, "Is there any news from that little girl of the Ma family?" Did you meet her? The woman she said about Chen Nuo was invited? The sergeant next to him replied, "We have searched for the address provided by the man, but there is no trace of it." ”
"Huh? This little girl, she shouldn't be trying to deceive the old man, right? ”
Dong Zhuo's fat palm fell, and after thinking about it carefully, he snorted: "I don't dare to take the old man for casual pastime!" Keep looking for me! ”
"No!"
The armor priest bowed his hand to him, and turned to go down. After a while, the car rattled and thought about it, and it was about to start. However, at this moment, a man in a ge-robed Taoist came to him, holding a long pole, wrapped in cloth on the pole, and writing the word "mouth" at each end. When the Taoist arrived in front of Dong Zhuo, he didn't stay for a moment, but suddenly turned his head, glanced at Dong Zhuo, and smiled. He laughed silently, just his eyes up, but he did laugh. When he laughed, he immediately reached out and stroked his beard, and without saying a word, walked away.
Dong Zhuo looked at it, his brows were furrowed, and he was about to stop that person left and right, but fortunately, Li Su stepped forward and reminded him that it was not too early, and it was time to leave. Dong Zhuo glanced back at the Daoist, but the Daoist turned around at the right time and faced him, but walked away by himself.
This glance was too weird, which made Dong Zhuo very unhappy, so he waved his hand, beckoned Li Su, and asked, "What does this Taoist mean?" ”
Li Su didn't say anything, but he laughed and scolded in his heart: "As long as you think about it carefully, it is not difficult for a fool to understand that these two 'mouths' are Lu, which means that Lu Bu harms him, but he doesn't know!" However, he thought about it, this person is also hateful, even if he knows the heavenly opportunity, but he can't hint at Dong Zhuo so blatantly, if Dong Zhuo reacts, wouldn't it be bad?
Therefore, before Dong Zhuo understood, he hurriedly scolded him and said, "This person is crazy, probably because he has a bad heart, what should he do?" Master, I think we should leave as soon as possible, but don't miss the auspicious time. ”
When Dong Zhuo heard this, he nodded and said, "What Li Duwei said is extremely true, then let's go!" ”
……
"Do you see the man? It's the fat man in the car, do you know who he is? ”
In the distance, Liu Ying suddenly pointed ahead and said to Zhao Xue.
As soon as Zhao Xue heard her, that is, when she looked carefully, she was indeed a fat man in the car. She was slightly stunned and asked, "Who is this person?" ”
"Dong Zhuo." Liu Ying said lightly, and then looked at Zhao Xue.
"Dong Zhuo?"
Zhao Xue frowned, suddenly came to her senses, and said in surprise: "Ah, he is Dong Zhuo?" Is that him, the one who held my big brother and his parents away? I, you...... Sister Liu, did you want me to assassinate him when you brought me to see him? ”
Liu Ying smiled, shook her head and said, "Hurry up and keep your voice quiet, you are talking like this, you are not afraid of being heard?" Don't worry, if you want to kill him, I'm afraid you may not be able to do it......"
"Sister Liu, what do you mean by this?"
Zhao Xue looked at her, but Liu Ying smiled lightly and said, "Wait, there may be a result today." ”
