Reborn in the Three Kingdoms, I stole Liu Bei's uncle

When Lü Bu saw Dong Zhuo coming, he stood up quickly, bowed and said, "I didn't know you were coming, so I didn't go out to greet you. Please forgive me, father."

Dong Zhuo was still thinking about the word "black servant" in his mind. Seeing that Lu Bu was very respectful, his expression eased a little. He remembered what Li Ru had told him and said:

"Fengxian, my son, there is no need for us to be so formal with each other. Please get up quickly."

Lu Bu stood up and asked Dong Zhuo to sit in the seat of honor. The two drank a few glasses of wine and Dong Zhuo began to get to the point.

"Fengxian, I heard someone sent you a letter. I wonder who wrote it? The war is getting intense right now. You must not be deceived by others."

Lu Bu bowed and said, "Father, that letter was written by Liu Yu. The content is simple. He wants to establish a friendship with me. Father, I have been very kind to you. How could I not know that even if Liu Yu tries to flatter me, I will never have second thoughts."

When Dong Zhuo heard this, he burst into laughter.

"My son Fengxian, you are indeed loyal. If we two join forces, the whole world will be ours."

"Bu is willing to take up arms and fight the rebels again for his adoptive father."

Dong Zhuo was very satisfied with Lu Bu's answer. He was about to drink a few glasses of wine and leave when he suddenly wanted to see the contents of the letter.

"Fengxian, where is the letter now? Let us have a look."

Lu Bu remembered that he had casually thrown the letter on the table, how come it had disappeared now.

He stood up and searched hurriedly, and found the letter under the table. He presented the letter to Dong Zhuo.

Dong Zhuo opened the letter with a smile, and just after reading it for a while, his smiling face suddenly changed color.

There was nothing much to be made out of the letter, just some simple greetings, but there were many places on the paper that were deliberately covered up.

"What does Fengxian write here?"

Dong Zhuo pointed at the ink on the envelope and asked Lu Bu.

"This is what the cloth looked like when I received it. I really don't know what it says."

Dong Zhuo was skeptical.

"Is what Fengxian said true?"

After hearing Dong Zhuo's words, Lu Bu knew that Dong Zhuo suspected him. Sweat oozed from his forehead, and his body, which was slightly drunk just now, instantly became energetic. He also understood the purpose of Liu Yu sending him this letter, which was not to reminisce about the past, but to use this letter to make Dong Zhuo suspicious of him.

"How dare Bu deceive my foster father? This is all Liu Yu's evil plan. My foster father must not believe it."

Evil plot? If Dong Zhuo had been like that before, he would have sent someone to arrest Lu Bu long ago. Thinking of what Li Ru had just reminded him, he forced himself to control his temper and didn't get angry on the spot.

"Whether this is a conspiracy or not, our family will find out."

After saying this, Dong Zhuo stood up and left, leaving Lu Bu standing there with his thoughts in a mess.

The four sentences he said last time had already reduced Dong Zhuo's trust in him a lot. Now this tampered letter has appeared. If he cannot prove his innocence this time, he will probably lose Dong Zhuo's trust completely.

Lu Bu was a little flustered. On the battlefield, he was an unparalleled brave general, but when faced with such invisible means, his own weaknesses quickly became apparent.

He thought of a possibility, which was to kill Liu Yu. As long as he could bring back Liu Yu's head, Dong Zhuo would definitely regain his trust in him.

But Lu Bu was not sure whether now was the best opportunity to attack Liu Yu. He hurriedly called Gao Shun and told him what had just happened. He also asked him to gather his troops and launch a surprise attack on Liu Yu's camp at three o'clock tonight.

Gao Shun was the first to oppose this proposal. His reason was simple: Liu Yu was very smart and might have set up secret sentries along the way. If they were discovered by the sentries, the night attack would become a forceful attack. It would be almost impossible for Lu Bu's small number of troops to win by forcefully attacking the camp of the Guandong coalition forces.

"What should we do now?"

"General, don't panic. The Prime Minister will definitely investigate this matter thoroughly, and then he will clear your name."

"What if the Prime Minister is deceived?"

"Even if the Prime Minister is deceived, General, don't forget that there is Lord Li. He is a wise man, so how can he not see through Liu Yu's evil plot?"

When Lu Bu heard this, he instantly became alert. Li Ru, how could he not have thought of this? Li Ru is so wise, he will definitely defend himself.

"Come with me to see Lord Li."

After saying that, he put his clothes in order and went out with Gao Shun.

Li Ru had just sent out several waves of his men when he heard someone come in to report that Lu Bu came to ask for a meeting.

Li Ru asked someone to invite Lu Bu in. When Lu Bu saw Li Ru, he hurriedly saluted.

"Mr. Li, please save Bu."

Li Ru was stunned and didn't understand why Lu Bu said that.

"Don't panic, Fengxian, I wonder what happened?"

Lu Bu told Li Ru the details of how he received the letter. After listening to it, Li Ru gasped.

Liu Yu's wisdom is not inferior to mine. As soon as I sent out my plan, he had already handed this letter to Lu Bu. If I hadn't repeatedly reminded the prime minister to appease Lu Bu, I'm afraid that this letter today would have put the relationship between Lu Bu and the prime minister into an irreparable situation.

"Fengxian, don't panic. This is a counter-espionage plot. Even if the Prime Minister doesn't understand it for the time being, he will understand Fengxian's loyalty after a while."

After hearing what Li Ru said, Lu Bu's anxious heart finally calmed down a little.

"Thank you Mr. Li for your trust. I am grateful."

"Fengxian, there is no need to be so polite. We all serve under the command of the Prime Minister. We should work together to assist the Prime Minister."

Lu Bu bowed and saluted.

"Please rest assured, Lord Li, I will do my best under the command of the Prime Minister."

Li Ru laughed and comforted Lu Bu with gentle words, and Lu Bu slowly left.

As soon as Lu Bu left, Li Ru hurried to find Dong Zhuo, for he was afraid that Dong Zhuo would make a wrong decision in anger.

As soon as I walked into Dong Zhuo's house, I heard Dong Zhuo getting angry.

"This guy is really a wolf cub who can never be tamed. We trusted him so much, but he turned out to be so cruel and murderous that he wanted to kill us."

After the sound, there was a crackling sound.

Li Ru walked into the house and saw that it was in a mess, with the desk fallen to the ground and teacups broken all over the floor.

"Prime Minister, please do not be angry. This letter is a sowing of dissension by Liu Yu. You must not be fooled."

"It's a counter-espionage plot, I don't think it's possible." Dong Zhuo calmed down a bit when he saw Li Ru coming. He paced in the room, "Wenyou, you don't know, when I just arrived outside Lu Bu's room, I heard him cursing that the black man bullied him and he would kill him sooner or later. Wenyou, think about it, who in the world can bully him? Isn't he cursing me for so long?"

Hei Si, where did this come from? Fragments kept flashing through Li Ru's mind, and suddenly he thought of a situation.

"Fengxian was not cursing the prime minister. If Ru Ruo's guess is correct, he was cursing Zhang Fei, Zhang Yide."

"Zhang Fei had a dark complexion and insulted Fengxian on the battlefield, which made Fengxian resentful and angry."
