Chapter 152:-for-tat

Lu Bu stood outside the mansion gate with his body straight, waiting for Dong Zhuo's arrival. Yesterday, Li Su informed Lu Bu that Dong Zhuo was going to come to the house for a small gathering at noon today, although Li Su did not say it explicitly, but Lu Bu also clearly knew the real purpose of Dong Zhuo's visit this time - Diao Chan. can make Dong Zhuo abandon the flower-like palace maids in the palace and deign to come to his own mansion, the only explanation is Diao Chan.

A noisy sound of gongs and drums came, and thousands of Xiliang warriors gathered around a luxurious carriage from the corner of the street, and the purple canopy looked extremely eye-catching. Under the sliding cover, Dong Zhuo's fat body, leaning on the cushion in the carriage, looked very leisurely.

Lu Bu took a few steps forward, walked to Dong Zhuo's frame, and said loudly: "Lu Bu welcomes the Taishi." Dong Zhuo leaned forward a little in the carriage, looked down at Lu Bu, and had a hypocritical smirk on his face: "Feng Xianna, I heard that you recently got a singer named Diao Chan in the Golden House, known as a singer of both color and art, and later called Diao Chan out to sing a little song for our family, how about it?" ”

Lu Bu did not hesitate at all, and directly rejected Dong Zhuo: "Master Yu, Lu Bu has recognized Diao Chan as her sister, and she will no longer be a singer from now on, and I hope that Master Taishi will not embarrass Lu Bu." ”

Hearing Lu Bu say this, the smirk on Dong Zhuo's face disappeared instantly, and he said with a gloomy face: "Lu Bu! Don't be ignorant, don't forget, you can have today, you will be worshiped and crowned, but our family will promote you! ”

Lu Bu smiled and replied without giving an inch: "If the Taishi thinks that Lu Bu is ungrateful, although he deposes Lu Bu, if he wants Diao Chan to accompany him, he will be difficult to obey." ”

In the middle of a few words, the friendly atmosphere that Dong Zhuo and Lu Bu had always had always been took a sharp turn and turned into a-for-tat, and no one was willing to make concessions. The whole scene became silent and cold, as if there was never a happy cooperation between Lu Bu and Dong Zhuo, but two strangers who were irrelevant to each other and even hated each other.

Seeing that the scene was a little bad, Li Ru tried to round the scene on the side: "Fengxian, Taishi doesn't mean anything else, what if you let Diao Chan sing a song?!" Turning his head to look at Dong Zhuo, Li Ru persuaded again: "Taishi, Fengxian is the general of our army, and the princes of the Nineteenth Route who were shocked by the first battle of the Tiger Pass did not dare to act rashly, so as to ensure that Luoyang was not lost, and the contribution was indispensable." This matter, or forget it, right? ”

"Forget it? Lu Bu is obviously the woman who robbed the Taishi, if he stops, won't he make the world laugh at the Taishi, and he can't even control the little Wen Hou of his subordinates? Li Su said with a fanning of the flames.

Dong Zhuo is not a fool, the importance of Lu Bu, he knows it very well in his heart, not to mention anything else, as long as Lu Bu is there, Dong Zhuo is not afraid of Ao Lie, who is the brave champion of the three armies and known as the little overlord, if Lu Bu is not there, who will Dong Zhuo send to resist Ao Lie? Ao Lie is a thorn in Dong Zhuo's heart, not to be unhappy, in today's world, there is only Lu Bu who can be a long and short general with Ao Lie. Hearing Li Ru's persuasion, Dong Zhuo's mind was already a little relaxed, but after listening to Li Su's words, Dong Zhuo felt that what Li Su said was also reasonable, if even Lu Bu couldn't suppress it, how could Dong Zhuo suppress the entire court?

Seeing the changes in the expression on Dong Zhuo's face one after another, Lu Bu already knew that Dong Zhuo was bound to refuse to give up, took two steps back, Lu Bu pulled out his saber, then knelt on one knee, raised his saber with both hands above his head, and said loudly: "The Taishi has the grace of reinvention for Lu Bu, and Lu Bu is unforgettable." But the Taishi wanted to see Diao Chan, but Shu Lu Bu couldn't do it. If the Taishi insists on this, please cut off Lu Bu's head, and go to the mansion to find Diao Chan with Lu Bu's corpse. ”

"Fengxian, why are you suffering?" Li Ru was worried, no one knew the importance of Lu Bu better than him, once Lu Bu died, not to mention that the princes of the Nineteenth Route outside Luoyang City would inevitably take the opportunity to attack the city on a large scale, that is, the 40,000 Bingzhou troops in the city, knowing that Lu Bu was forced to die, I am afraid that they would not give up. At that time, the internal and external difficulties were difficult, and the Xiliang army had no way to retreat.

Lu Bu ignored Li Ru, still knelt on one knee, holding his sword high to block the gate of the mansion.

Li Ru had no choice but to persuade Dong Zhuo instead: "Father-in-law, master!" Li Ru begged the Taishi to stop here, if anything happened to Wen Hou, wouldn't it make the relatives and enemies happy! ”

Dong Zhuo was just about to speak, when a junior colonel rushed from the direction of the city gate, knelt down in front of Dong Zhuo's car, and said: "Yu Taishi, the princes of the Fourteenth Route led by Yuan Shao, the general of the chariot and cavalry, have arrived less than 20 miles outside the city, threatening to conquer Luoyang and kill the national thieves!" ”

When Dong Zhuo heard this, he stood up angrily, snatched the horse whip from Li Ru's hand, and slashed his head and face according to the little colonel who came to report the news, and scolded angrily: "Who is the national thief?" We ask you who is the national thief?! Still fucking the general of the car cavalry, who told you that Yuan Shao that kid is a general of the car cavalry? You damn thing, can you speak human words? ”

After whipping more than a dozen whips in succession, the little school screamed more than sadly, covered in blood, Dong Zhuo's anger subsided, threw away the whip in his hand, walked down the steps of the carriage, walked in front of Lu Bu, stretched out his right hand and grabbed the hilt of Lu Bu's saber, and inserted the saber back into the scabbard on Lu Bu's waist with a choked sound, and then reached out and pulled Lu Bu up, patted Lu Bu's shoulder affectionately, and said with a smile: "Feng Xianna, our family has no other meaning, just to see if Diao Chan is as beautiful as rumored, You don't want Diao Chan to come out, and our family is not reluctant, so that's it. Now that Yuan Shao's kid is leading the army to attack, our family still has to rely on your martial arts, our family promises you, if you repel Yuan Shao and others, our family will never mention the matter of seeing Diao Chan again in the future, how about it? ”

Lu Bu looked at Dong Zhuo's hypocritical face, and sighed in his heart, if it wasn't for Dong Zhuo who saved his life, how could Lu Bu tolerate a capricious villain like Dong Zhuo? Lu Bu's voice without the slightest emotion sounded: "Don't worry, Taishi, Lu Bu will lead the troops out of the city to repel Yuan Shao." ”

A farce of strife ended hastily in the face of the huge pressure of Yuan Shao and other princes of the Fourteenth Road. Dong Zhuo returned to the palace, and before leaving, he promised to wait for Lu Bu to return from a great victory and give Lu Bu an official knighthood.

Seeing Dong Zhuo leave, the look of disappointment on Lu Bu's face became more and more intense, and he let out a long sigh after the last sigh, taking advantage of this to expel the melancholy in his heart. "Gao Shun." Lu Bu let out a deep cry. Gao Shun walked forward not far behind Lu Bu and asked respectfully, "What do you have Wen Hou's orders?" ”

Lu Bu glanced at Gao Shun, stretched out his hand and patted Gao Shun's shoulder, and continued: "This expedition, you don't want to go, take your trapped camp, stay in the mansion to guard, and be sure to protect the safety of Miss Diao Chan." Gao Shun was stunned for a moment, but he didn't expect Lu Bu to take Diao Chan's safety so seriously, and just about to speak, Lu Bu intercepted and whispered: "Diao Chan, it's the woman of a certain second brother." ”

Lu Bu's second brother, isn't that Ao Lie? Although there are not many people who know about the three brothers Lu Bu, Ao Lie and Ma Chao, as Lu Bu's henchman, Gao Shun naturally knows about Lu Dao. No wonder, Lu Bu, who has always been iron-blooded and ruthless, will look at Diao Chan differently, it turns out that Diao Chan is Ao Lie's woman! For Ao Lie, although Gao Shun has only seen Ao Lie two or three times, but Ao Lie's bearing and martial arts made Gao Shun deeply impressed, at the moment, Gao Shun tapped his left chest, and said loudly: "Wen Hou rest assured, Gao Shun is here, no one can step into the door of the mansion!" Gao Shun is gone, Gao Shun's body will still be blocked outside the mansion gate! ”

Lu Bu nodded, turned around and walked towards the mansion. As soon as he entered the mansion gate, a beautiful shadow flashed out from behind the gate, and Lu Bu looked at it, it was Diao Chan.

At this moment, Diao Chan was already in tears, the charm in his eyes disappeared, and there was only deep affection. Lu Bu saw Diao Chan's tears, and felt a faint pain in his heart for no reason, slowly walked in front of Diao Chan, stretched out his big hand, helped Diao Chan wipe away the crystal tears on his face, and asked softly, "What are you crying for?" ”

Diao Chan shook his head gently, looked directly at Lu Bu with his eyes, and said: "The general openly contradicted the Taishi for me, and even did not hesitate to threaten each other with death, I am very moved, there has never been a person who is willing to do this for me, in my life, I can meet a person like the general who is willing to really care about me, Diao Chan has no regrets although he dies." At this moment, Wang Yun's influence on Diao Chan has long ceased to exist, no matter how good Wang Yun is to Diao Chan, he only uses Diao Chan as a prop to show his beauty tricks, and only Lu Bu in front of him really cares about himself. A woman's greatest wish in life is to meet a man who really loves her, even if this man has no power or power, as long as she always keeps her in her heart and is willing to defend her to the death, then this man is worthy of a woman's life.

In Diao Chan's eyes, Lu Bu is such a man. Lu Bu felt Diao Chan's thoughts, but the corners of his mouth were filled with a trace of bitterness. Diao Chan's words are already very straightforward, if Lu Bu can't understand it, then he won't be Lu Bu. But Lu Bu had no way to reply to Diao Chan, when Ao Lie was fighting between the two armies, he did not forget to entrust Lu Bu to take care of Diao Chan, which shows that Ao Lie has a deep affection for Diao Chan, so at this moment, even though Lu Bu wanted to embrace Diao Chan in his arms, his body was like a statue, standing stiffly, and he did not make any response.

After a long time, Lu Bu sighed and said, "I have already asked General Gao Shun to guard you, and he will not let you be hurt in any way." After speaking, Lu Bu hardened his heart, buried all his love for Diao Chan deep in his heart, and passed by Diao Chan, leaving only Diao Chan with a majestic back. Lu Bu didn't know what to do, every step he took touched Diao Chan's heart.

Diao Chan stared blankly at Lu Bu who was gradually moving away, her tears were like crystal beads with broken threads, reflecting the light reflected by the sun, one by one from her delicate face, dripping to the ground, mixed with the soil, and no longer distinguishing from each other.

PS: A book friend asked, who will Diao Chan be with after the most seldom. This point, Da Kun has to keep it secret for the time being, but Da Kun has a sentence to say, love and affection, always have to be a little twists and turns, a little more difficult, to be precious, right?
