Chapter Twenty-Nine: Conspiracy
On the bustling street, a horse-drawn carriage drove slowly.
Li Ru was sitting in the carriage, holding his head with one hand, closing his eyes to recuperate, and the voice of "Trapped in the Battle, Death and No Life" faintly came from his ears, and he was suddenly frightened, and hurriedly called the servants outside the car to find out the source of the sound.
Lu Bu's Houfu in Chang'an is the largest and most luxurious in the city, located in the downtown area, and it is also personally selected by Dong Zhuo to reward the righteous son, in addition to commending Lu Bu's merits, the deeper meaning is to facilitate monitoring, imagine that Lu Bu stays in the densely populated downtown area, as long as there is a little wind and grass, it will blow into Dong Zhuo's ears.
"My lord, it is said that Lu Houfu is training troops." The servant inquired about the news and immediately said to Li Ru.
Li Ru listened to the report and fell into deep thought, it stands to reason that Lu Bu is a dignified general, and now he has been sealed Wen Hou, he can have his own troops and can train troops, but for some reason, Li Ru listened to the sound of training from Lu Mansion, and there was always a feeling of uneasiness in his heart.
"Go to the palace at once." Li Ru said to the groom.
When the imperial guards of the palace saw Li Ru's carriage, they just inquired as usual, and when they saw that it was Li Ru, they didn't dare to stop it, so they let it in.
"Where is the Master now?" Li Ru entered the palace and immediately came to the Internal Affairs Mansion to ask the eunuch in charge.
Now the entire palace is equivalent to Dong Zhuo's private bedroom, and the guards are all Xiliang soldiers, and these eunuchs are all inserted by Dong Zhuo, so it can be said that today is an ornament, and he Dong Zhuo is the real emperor.
The steward eunuch knew that Li Ru was Dong Zhuo's son-in-law, so he didn't dare to slack off, so he hurriedly replied: "The princess is now in Lin Yuan, Concubine Li." โ
Li Ru nodded and said, "You take me there." โ
The eunuch in charge resisted a little, and said, "The eunuch is looking for fun, I'm afraid it will be inconvenient!" โ
"Let you lead the way, you will lead the way, what so much nonsense!" Li Ru said unhappily.
When the eunuch in charge saw Li Ru angry, he was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat and hurriedly led Li Ru the way.
Since Dong Zhuo was defeated in the Tiger Prison Pass, abandoned Luoyang, and retreated into Guanzhong with the Son of Heaven and the people, according to the barrier in Guanzhong and the hundreds of thousands of Xiliang soldiers in his hands, he became even more rampant, staying in the palace all night, and couldn't wait to play the three thousand beauties all night.
A night of tossing made Dong Zhuo, a big fat man, very tired, Dong Zhuo in his sleep, returned to the past, galloping Xiliang, Dong Zhuo at that time was far less obese than now, outstanding martial arts, hospitable, love to fight unevenly, known as chivalrous, countless Xiliang knights rushed to follow Dong Zhuo.
Li Ru followed the steward and eunuch into Shanglin Yuan, only to see that between the pavilions of the Jasper Building, there were scattered clothes, both women and men.
"Father-in-law, are you awake? Wen Youte came to see you! Li Ru stopped, not daring to take another step forward, if he really saw Dong Zhuo's appearance, it would not be good.
At this time, it was already three poles of the sun, Dong Zhuo was sleeping soundly, Li Ru shouted outside, but did not wake up Dong Zhuo, Concubine Li heard Li Ru's voice and hurriedly woke up Dong Zhuo.
"What?" Dong Zhuo said dissatisfiedly, when a person sleeps soundly, he hates the disturbance of others the most, Dong Zhuo has been in the top position for a long time, and he is a little unhappy in his heart, even if he kills the person who woke him up, it is not impossible.
After simple dressing, Dong Zhuo recruited Li Ru, who was waiting outside, in.
"Wenyou, what is important to you this early in the morning?" Dong Zhuo asked.
Li Ru said respectfully: "Passing by Lu Bu's mansion today, I heard that he was training troops. โ
"What's there to report on this? He is also a middle-class general, why should he practice his own parts? It's all those families, which family doesn't have three or five thousand people in it? Dong Zhuo said.
Seeing Dong Zhuoman's indifferent appearance, Li Ru said anxiously: "Lu Bu is a fierce tiger, and his subordinates are all battle-hardened elites!" When I passed by today, listening to the momentum, even my Xiliang soldiers are not enough! Father-in-law, I'm worried that it won't be good for us in the long run! โ
"Unfavorable? No matter how strong he trained his soldiers, there were only 3,000 people, and I had more than 100,000 soldiers in Xiliang, and I was still afraid of him? Besides, Lu Bu is profitable, just give him more property. Dong Zhuo waved his hand and said calmly.
Li Ru wanted to persuade again, Dong Zhuo said again: "Recently, I have been staying in this palace, I have a headache, and I often have nightmares, you tell me to go down, build Yi Wu as soon as possible, and hoard all the stolen food and property, I can't stay in this palace for a day!" โ
"Oh, by the way, you have to pay close attention to the movements of those old Han ministers, especially which Wang Yun! When Cao Cao used a knife to stab our family, it is said that he borrowed the knife! If this old thing, if it weren't for some prestige, I'd really like to chop him up and feed it to the dogs! Dong Zhuo said angrily.
A trace of disappointment flashed in Li Ru's eyes, and he arched his hand towards Dong Zhuo, and then took his leave.
ยทยทยทยทยทยท
But he said that when Wang Yun returned home that day, he seemed to be crazy, picking up tables, chairs, benches, antique porcelain, etc., everything that could be moved, and throwing it out vigorously, the house was smashed into a mess, but Wang Yun's heart swelled with a trace of pleasure.
"Dong Zhuo old thief! I'm going to tear you to pieces! Wang Yun muttered to himself, as if the debris in the place was none other than the hateful Dong Zhuo.
Wang Yun, who was venting, felt a little good in his heart, but after calming down, there was a trace of helplessness and sadness in his heart.
"Ah~~~The first emperor~~~ I'm sorry for you~~~~ My king Yunshi received Han's grace and ate Hanlu, but I couldn't get rid of the thief and serve the country~~~~ I'm useless~~~ I'm going to go in the future~~~ I don't have the face to see you~~~~"
Wang Yun collapsed to the ground, crying like a child, crying extremely miserably, and his white hair also fell out, living like a miserable old man.
The subordinates in the house saw that their lord would go crazy for a while, and he would fall to the ground and cry for a while, so frightened that they didn't dare to come forward.
At this time, a little guy patted his head and said with a smile: "Yes, the master likes Miss Ren the most, why don't we invite Miss Ren to come and see the master!" โ
"Then you don't want to go quickly!" The butler kicked the little guy in the ass and cursed angrily.
The little guy hurriedly ran to invite Miss Ren.
"God~~~ For the sake of me, a sincere heart, send a hero who eliminates thieves and helps the Han~~~ Although I have no regrets in death~~~" Wang Yun cried a handful of snot and tears.
"Hahaha, Situ is really good Yaxing! A man sheds tears over the moon! The elegance is extreme, the elegance is extreme! โ
A taunt came.
Wang Yun almost turned his back in anger, I cried here to death, you don't say a word of comfort, but you still laugh at me!
Everyone followed the sound and looked, only to see a young man who was not good-looking, holding a wine jug in one hand and a chicken leg in the other.
Wang Yun saw the person coming clearly, suddenly stopped crying, wiped away his tears with his cuffs, and hurriedly stepped forward, not disgusted with the young man's greasy hands, and grabbed them fiercely. "That's right!" he asked. That's right! You are a master disciple of virtue, with a peerless talent, and you will have a way to help me! โ
"Wrong! Wrong! I only have the name of master and apprentice with Na Decao, but I have no actual teaching, and I have no talent to help you! The boy laughed.
"No, no, no! There must be a way for you to help me! You are the one sent by Heaven to help my Wang Yun! Wang Yun said with tears of joy.
Wang Yun also walked towards the backyard regardless of whether the boy was willing to pull the boy, and instructed his subordinates: "Prepare some wine and food and send them to the pavilion in the back!" โ
The people were stunned for a moment, what is this old man smoking? This young man is just a guest who has come to the house recently, just a yellow-mouthed child? What great talent can there be?
in the gazebo.
Wang Yun simply tidied up his appearance, sat down opposite the unattractive young man, and the people prepared the wine and food and retreated.
The young man also ignored Wang Yun, only cared about biting the chicken leg and drinking, regardless of his appearance at all, Wang Yun wanted to ask questions several times, but when he saw that the young man was eating energetically, he couldn't bear to disturb him, and held the words back into his stomach.
"Tsk, tsk." The boy was very happy to eat, and after gnawing the chicken leg to a bone, he also licked the greasy on his fingers.
The young man took another sip of wine and patted his round belly, then looked at Wang Yun, only to see Wang Yun's eyes staring straight at him, "Uh! The boy burped, stretched out a slender finger, and picked his teeth.
Seeing the raging anger rising in Wang Yun's eyes, the young man ignored it completely, until Wang Yun was about to explode.
"If you want to get rid of the thief, you are neither hitting the stone with an egg, nor complaining, let alone crying like a girl, if you can cry Dong Zhuo to death, then Dong Zhuo would have been drowned in tears!"
The young man's fluttering words calmed down the rampant Wang Yun.
Wang Yun swallowed his saliva, looked at the young man with blank eyes, and motioned for him to continue.
"We're going to dig through the enemy's bottom and look for his weaknesses! As long as you find his weakness, you can prescribe the right medicine and get rid of him easily! The boy laughed.
Wang Yun showed a look of bitterness and said, "Is this Dong Zhuo's weakness?" It's so hard to find! His subordinates are all tigers and wolves, and they are loyal to him, and it is impossible to persuade them to oppose Dong! โ
"Isn't there a dissenting one of his men?" The boy asked.
Wang Yun smiled bitterly: "Dong Thief's subordinates are all brought from Xiliang, and those who hold military power are Xiliang officers. Well, if you want to say that there is not a general from Xiliang, there is one, but he is as close to Dong Thief as father and son, and he will not be able to oppose Dong Thief! โ
"Situ! You're wrong! The boy clapped his hands and laughed.
Wang Yun asked puzzledly, "What's wrong?" I'm going to the dinner tonight, and the relationship between the two of them is so close! โ
The young man sneered a few times and said, "You're talking about that Lu Bu!" This person has always been forgetful of profit, as long as Situ's method is appropriate, this person will not help you! โ
Wang Yun was thoughtful, and grabbed the goatee with one hand.
"Isn't there any problem with Dong Thief's life?" The boy said again.
Referring to Dong Zhuo's life style, Wang Yun suddenly became angry and said angrily: "Dong Zhuo's life! That means that you can't finish it for three days and three nights! Staying in the palace all day long, bullying concubines and palace maids, you are almost the emperor! โ
"Oh, so Dong Thief is a womanizer!" The boy said.
"Extremely lustful, no different from the Ancient King!" Wang Yun nodded.
"Good! We'll give him a Daji! The boy slammed the table and said.
