[Three Kingdoms] Burning incense and sacrificial wine

Lu Bu was upset, looking at Li Ru again, thinking that not only did he harm him, but now he wanted to use himself as a shield, Lu Bu's mood became even worse.

He couldn't help but come up with a thought: Didn't Li Ru deliberately make up these things to deceive him?

Li Ru noticed that Lu Bu's expression was wrong, but he only thought that Lu Bu was angry at Diao Chan's affairs, and he didn't expect that Lu Bu had already guessed the truth by mistake.

He played for a while, hypocritically saying that he would take Diao Chan back for Lu Bu, and reassure him.It wasn't until Lu Bu's face gradually turned black as charcoal that he left the Lu Mansion with satisfaction.

What Li Ru didn't know was that because of his performance, Lu Bu had already become murderous toward him.

On the other side, Dong Zhuo went to the farmhouse where Xi Zhicai stayed to give condolences.He seemed to have forgotten what happened not long ago, he asked Xi Zhicai how he was, and ordered many medical officers next to him to do his best to take care of Xi Zhicai's body.

Xi Zhicai thanked weakly, as if he was too tired and didn't have any more words.

In order to show his importance, Dong Zhuo criticized the simplicity of the place and asked Xi Zhicai to go back to the mansion with him to rest, but Xi Zhicai tactfully refused.

Dong Zhuo looked at Xi Zhicai's shapeless figure, and thought of his hard work in the past, and finally felt ashamed as big as his fingers.

"Then you will be well raised here. But I don't worry about leaving you here alone. I have a maid named Diao Chan, who is the most considerate. I will send someone to send her over when I go back, and take good care of her here. you."

Hearing Diao Chan's name, Xi Zhicai subconsciously wanted to frown, but he restrained himself.

Before he could confirm whether Dong Zhuo's words were intentional or not, he listened to Dong Zhuo again.

"I heard from Na Jiang Zun that you and Cui Song have known each other for a long time—that being the case, when Liu Yao introduced Cui Song to me, why did you say that you didn't know him? These days you are in a serious condition, and Cui Song often Come to visit you, it can be seen that you have really known each other for a long time."

Xi Zhicai said calmly: "Huan is to avoid suspicion. Although I have some friendship with Zi Cong, I know that he is good at writing and ink, but neglects common affairs, which is of no benefit to the grand master's great cause. But if I told him frankly at that time, wouldn't I fight him?" Da Hongluqing (Liu Yao)'s face?"

Dong Zhuo believed Xi Zhicai's rhetoric, and was even more dissatisfied with Jiang Zun who took this opportunity to provoke him.However, Jiang Zun is dead, breaking things up at this time will only reduce his authority as the lord.What's more, it is more important to appease Xi Zhicai than anything else.

"It's okay, now is the time to employ people. Since Cui Song has literary talent, he can serve as Bo Jie's assistant. Wouldn't it be a pity to let him be in the wild?"

Dong Zhuo thought that because he praised Cui Song for Xi Zhicai's sake, Xi Zhicai would think him a little better.But how did he know that he was on the cusp of the storm at the moment, the so-called "promotion" was just a poisonous needle, the person who was "promoted" would not only get no benefit, but might even be killed.

After his words fell, Xi Zhi, who was originally indifferent to everything—neither excited nor hated, suddenly clenched his fists, and a ruthless look flashed in his eyes.

Due to the angle of view, Dong Zhuo didn't notice Xi Zhicai's abnormality.

After half a breath, Xi Zhi gave a low cough and lifted the quilt: "How can Huan lie on the bed when he is employing people? But if the grand master doesn't despise this broken body, Huan should do his best to help The Grand Master is dead."

Hearing Xi Zhicai's words of loyalty, Dong Zhuo was overjoyed.

What he didn't know was that just a moment before, the last counselor who was unwilling to confront him was determined to put him to death because of his whim.

Dong Zhuo said a few more symbolic words of concern, asked someone to pull the carriage, and returned home with Xi Zhi.

Two days later, the war in the east retreated, and some soldiers who had made friends with You Yi took the opportunity to rebel.Dong Zhuo hesitated, wondering if he should send reinforcements.

He asked Li Ru and Xi Zhicai respectively, and all he got were "reinforcement should be done quickly, and Lei Shu suppressed it".

Dong Zhuo was at a time when he was short of manpower and stretched, but he was reluctant to abandon the Eastern Front. In addition, two advisers who relied heavily on him suggested reinforcements, so he gritted his teeth and let his cousin Dong Min, son-in-law Niu Fu, and general Li Jue each took a force and rushed to the Kanto to attack the remnants of the rebel army and the foreign forces invading south.

On the second day after half of the army in the city came out, a folk song suddenly began to spread among the people: "Thousand li grass, He Qingqing. Ten days of divination, no birth." It is a metaphor for Dong Zhuo's demise.

Dong Zhuo heard the ballad, and...had no reaction.

He failed to comprehend the deep meaning of the ballad, and the counselors who saw through the meaning of the ballad all kept silent, and no one came to remind him.

Except for Li Ru and Xi Zhicai who were born eccentric, the same is true for other counselors.These people took the treatment of Li Ru and Xi Zhicai in their hearts, and even witnessed the tragic death of the unknown counselor and Jiang Zun. Who would dare to offer their loyalty to Dong Zhuo?

A few days later, the emperor called Dong Zhuo into the palace.Dong Zhuo brought his confidants, and entered the imperial city in a grand manner in a five-horse carriage.

Walking outside the Yemen, suddenly a group of elite soldiers rushed out from the two roads with a long halberd, coming towards the carriage.

"Presumptuous!" Seeing some of them surrounding his frame with halberds, Dong Zhuo snorted forcefully, "Bold thief, when Er Gong (your grandfather) was begging for a living on horseback, you were not even born yet!"

After all, the hand on the sword at the waist exerted a little force, and the sword was about to be drawn out.

! !

Dong Zhuo's eyes widened, but he couldn't pull out his sword, but was stabbed by the attacker with a halberd and fell off the carriage.

In desperation, he shouted: "Fengxian! Fengxian, save me!"

Lv Bu raised his halberd, but not at the assassin, but at Dong Zhuo's head:

"Old thief Dong Zhuo, I am ordered by the Holy Majesty to take your dog's life, take your life!"

"You traitorous and mediocre dog, how dare you!"

Dong Zhuo shouted angrily.But he only had time to shout these words before Lu Bu took off his head and died on the spot.

Facing the falling head, Lu Bu wiped away the bloodstains on his face with his fingertips, and smiled heartily:

"Old thief, you also have today? Do you know why you can't pull out your protective sword? Do you still remember that little soldier who was protecting your weapon but was killed by you in vain when you threw a halberd at me on the spot? Now he has replaced him. The person who takes care of your weapon is the soldier’s righteous brother, if you kill his brother, we want him to tamper with your weapon, why should he not agree?”

The dead Dong Zhuo still stared at his eyes as big as copper bells, as if he was dying.

Li Ru, who was following behind the frame, felt bad when he heard the words "throwing halberds" and "little soldiers maintaining weapons".He carefully slid off the frame, trying to sneak away, but was blocked by a halberd falling from the sky.

Li Ru's complexion changed suddenly, he smiled very quickly, and turned around: "General Fengxian..."

Lu Bu stepped forward with a serious face: "Li Wenyou, when you bullied me and humiliated me, did you ever think about today?"

Li Ru's cheeks twitched: "Fengxian, just listen to me..."

Lu Bu said coldly, "I don't listen. You are so eloquent and confuse people, how dare I listen to you again?"

After all, he raised his halberd and dropped his hand.

A generation of poisonous warriors with outstanding ingenuity ended their lives so easily.

Holding Li Ru's head, Lu Bu strolled to the front of the frame.

The seemingly inconspicuous but frail counselor who helped Dong Zhuo quickly gain a foothold was sitting in the car, closing his eyes and resting his mind, without any intention of escaping, nor the slightest worry or fear.

Even if Dong Zhuo and Li Ru died tragically, he was not moved in the slightest.

It seemed that he had expected all of this, but also seemed indifferent to it.

Before Lu Bu got close to Xi Zhicai, a slender figure stood firmly in front of him with outstretched arms.

He looked at the beautiful girl in front of him with a complicated expression, and called out her name in a deep voice:

"Diao Chan."
