Chapter 6: Chaos is coming
Dong Zhuo initially controlled the government and had a lot of things to deal with, so he stayed up late with Lu Bu. By the time Lu Bu returned to his temporary residence, the night had completely darkened.
"What, that's it!" When Lu Bu heard Gao Shun's report, his face was immediately full of remorse, and he said urgently: "How is my brother now?" β
Gao Shun comforted: "General, everything is fine with the little military marquis, and I have an extra bowl of rice in the evening." β
"That's fine." When Lu Bu heard this, he was relieved.
He smiled: "Zhijie has always had a bad appetite when he came in, but it is indeed quite rare to eat an extra bowl of rice today." Stand down, and I'll go see him. β
Mansion, backyard.
Lu Bu walked into the bedroom and saw Li Hao who was flipping through the historical records, and frowned: "Zhijie, you are too reckless, you should be cautious in your cultivation." Taiping is a supreme classic of Taoism, how can you be so reckless. Hey, this time it's my brother's carelessness. β
Li Hao was moved in his heart and said, "Let the eldest brother worry." β
"Brother, what did you say?" Lu Buxi smiled and pretended to be dissatisfied and reprimanded.
As he spoke, as if he had thought of something, he frowned and asked, "What's the matter with the Taiping Technique?" β
Li Hao pondered for a while, stared at Lu Bu, and said, "I see the future from the Taiping technique. β
Future!
Lu Bu frowned, and he didn't say anything.
It is not without mysterious thaumaturgy that can peek into the past and future, whether it is the ancient astrology of the Yin and Yang family, or the innate gossip of Taoism, they all have the unfathomable power to deduce the future.
But Li Hao said that he saw the future from the Taiping technique, which really surprised Lu Bu.
He pondered, but after all, he couldn't hold back the curiosity in his heart, and asked, "What did Zhijie see?" β
Li Hao's words were slow and his voice was heavy: "The princes are rising, and the world is in chaos. The people are not happy, and the corpses are thousands of miles away! β
Lu Bu's expression changed slightly, and his pupils constricted to a little. He clenched his hands into fists, and the green tendons on them throbbed violently, like a dragon coiling.
Lu Bu's voice was dry, and he smiled reluctantly: "Zhijie, don't talk nonsense, now that my father-in-law is in charge of the government, although there are different voices in the court, where did the princes come from." With the strength of his father-in-law, who in the world dares to rebel. β
"Do you believe it, big brother?" Li Hao's expression was calm and said lightly.
Lu Bu was silent and did not answer for a long time.
He wanted to say the letter, but he couldn't.
Lu Bu is not a brainless person, how can he not see the recent changes in the imperial court, as well as the hustle and bustle and boiling in various parts of the world.
Li Hao said: "The eldest brother still needs to tell Dong Zhuo that chaos is coming, and the smoke will cover Kyushu." Within three months, there will be a clue. β
Lu Bu frowned slightly, and looked at Li Hao with some surprise.
He knew that his younger brother had never liked Dong Zhuo. Now he actually took the initiative to remind Dong Zhuo to be careful of the changes, which is really a bit incredible.
"Zhijie, you?" Lu Bu wanted to speak and stopped, some didn't know what to say.
Li Hao's eyes closed slightly, and he sighed: "Everyone in the world knows that the eldest brother is now Dong Zhuo's son, Dong Zhuo can die, but it must not be now." The eldest brother is now like a vine clinging to a big tree, and he still needs this decaying tree to protect himself. β
Of course, Li Hao will not directly tell Lu Bu that Dong Zhuo is now the best back-erabbed man.
Not to mention that Li Hao does not have the strength to kill Dong Zhuo and replace him, even in the current environment, he will not allow Dong Zhuo to die.
Because whether it is Lu Bu or what he has done in a big way, the first thought of others is definitely not what the two of them did, but what Dong Zhuo did!
Even if Dong Zhuo really doesn't know, anyway, the black pot will always be detained on Dong Zhuo's head, who will make him the core figure of this group.
Such a good backstabber, Li Hao felt that if he didn't make good use of it, he would be a little sorry for Dong Zhuo.
Lu Bu didn't know what Li Hao was thinking, his face twitched slightly, both ashamed and happy.
He still didn't understand why Li Hao suddenly asked him to remind Dong Zhuo to be careful. Li Hao is not worried about Dong Zhuo, but for himself.
Lu Bu was excited and stammered: "Ah Hao, I, I." β
Li Hao felt ashamed of his hypocrisy in his heart, but when he thought of his future plans, he could only continue to be hypocritical, and smiled: "We are brothers, aren't we?" β
"Yes, yes, our brother, say a kind word." Lu Bu laughed out loud, extremely happy.
After this conversation, Lu Bu's heart was completely knotted, and he was extremely happy. He pulled Li Hao to talk a lot, including the so-called childhood anecdotes of the two.
It wasn't until late at night that Lu Bu was reluctant to leave.
Li Hao stared at the stars outside the window, exhaled lightly in a blur, and laughed at himself in his heart: "It turns out that I am also so hypocritical. β
He sighed, stopped thinking about the mess, and only began his daily practice again after he had completely calmed down.
In the later stage of Yangyuan, it is mainly to condense 365 acupoints with true yuan, and when the true qi fills every part of the body, it is the peak of Yangyuan.
At this level, you can already prepare to break through the condensation method.
After one night of cultivation, the true qi in Li Hao's body was more than several times stronger, completely filling the dantian qi sea and three hundred and sixty-five acupoints.
Although he had not yet broken through the advanced condensation method of Yangyuan, Li Hao could sense that he was not far from the realm of condensation.
As for his unbelievable cultivation speed, Li Hao was completely accustomed to it.
Palace.
Dong Zhuo is short and fat and strong, with a fierce appearance, triangular eyes and angry eyes like a wild wolf that chooses people to devour, and his steel wool-like beard makes him a little more fierce.
At this time, he was lying on the low couch with a smile on his face, and there were several beautiful palace maids serving by him. One kneaded his shoulders for him, and the other kneaded his legs.
Lu Buli stood in front of Dong Zhuo, his eyes slightly lowered and he didn't dare to look directly, and he behaved extremely respectfully.
Beside him, there was also a Confucian with an elegant and thin face, who was Dong Zhuo's chief strategist Li Ru.
Li Ru said: "Report to the lord, Your Majesty has agreed to rehabilitate Chen Fan, Dou Wu and others, who were judged to be traitors during the coup d'Γ©tat in September last year, and promote their children and grandchildren to officials. And Cai Yong and others have also been ordered to enter the court as officials. β
Dong Zhuo was overjoyed when he heard this.
After entering Luoyang, he also knew that he was weak and his foundation in the court was too shallow.
Therefore, on the one hand, Dong Zhuo suppressed dissidents by unscrupulous means, wanting to kill all those who opposed him to show his means, and on the other hand, he actively won over celebrities and people to enhance his own strength.
In a palace coup last September, many people were implicated.
After Dong Zhuo learned of the situation, he attracted the attention of these people, and pulled these people into his camp by rehabilitating and promoting them.
Facts have proved that although Dong Zhuo's trick is simple, it is very effective.
After these people were rehabilitated, they expressed their closeness to him, and many of them were famous all over the world. For example, Cai Yong and others.
Dong Zhuo laughed and said, "Okay, Wen You has done a good job, you should be rewarded." β
Li Ru, excellent characters.
For thousands of years since the Han Dynasty, people have often referred to other people by their own words. It is quite rude to call them by their first name.
Li Ru smiled and said, "If it weren't for the majesty of the lord, this matter would never have gone so smoothly." β
Dong Zhuo smiled more and more happily, looked at Lu Bu beside him, and said with concern: "Fengxian Wu'er, Zhijie is okay recently." β
When Lu Bu heard this, he instantly thought of Li Hao's explanation last night.
He is familiar with Dong Zhuo's character and understands that this matter must not be said explicitly, otherwise it will definitely anger the other party.
Therefore, Lu Bu deliberately looked embarrassed, and stopped talking: "Thank you for your concern, and there is no obstacle to knowing the festival." It is. β
Dong Zhuo frowned, and pretended to be angry and reprimanded: "My son is still talking to his father-in-law, so he can't treat his father-in-law as an outsider." β
Lu Bu pretended to be helpless, and said with a wry smile: "How dare Feng Xian, but this matter is really a bit mysterious, and Erchen doesn't know how to talk about it." β
Dong Zhuo was also interested when he heard this, and asked, "Tell me, what happened?" β
"If you know the festival, there may be some big rebellion, if there is any offense, I hope the righteous father will not be held accountable." Lu Bu said in a low voice with a cautious face.
A faint cold glint flashed in Dong Zhuo's eyes, and he snorted coldly in his heart.
However, although he was angry in his heart, his expression did not change, and he smiled: "Feng Xianwu'er, what are these words, since Zhijie is your younger brother, he is naturally also my righteous son." As a father, how can he be punished for his child's momentary gaffe. β
Lu Bu was disdainful in his heart, but he still showed gratitude on his face, and then he said: "Zhijie claimed to have seen the future from the Taiping Technique, and asked his son to remind his father-in-law that the world is in turmoil, and the smoke will cover Kyushu. It is said that within three months, there will be a clue. Erchen didn't believe it, and immediately reprimanded him fiercely. β
Lu Bu's voice fell, and the atmosphere in the hall suddenly became solemn.
