[Three Kingdoms] Burning incense and sacrificial wine

Liu Yao would never have imagined that his "wooing" would bring him such a disaster.

He didn't realize that the gray-clothed aide who was valued by Dong Zhuo was Xi Zhicai whom he had just met during the day, and he never even took a look at this unknown scholar with his eyes high above his head, let alone put him under Dong Zhuo's tent. The chief staff member thinks of one place.

He found Cui Song early the next morning and told him about his recommendation for Dong Zhuo.

Cui Song couldn't figure out what Liu Yao was doing, and was thinking about his words, when Liu Yao sighed with emotion, patted him on the shoulder and said: "I know that serving Dong Zhuo has really wronged you, but think about the good." After all, you are still an official, you have to get some resumes after you have reached the crown, so just pinch your nose and give Dong Zhuo a job for a while, balabala...

Cui Song: ...you despise Dong Zhuo so much and still recruit talent for him?

If it was Cui Song a few days ago, he might have been annoyed by Liu Yao's self-assessed recommendation, but he happened to change his mind today, worrying that he couldn't find a chance to break into the inside, and in the end, Liu Yao made a mistake. He sent one over, saving him the trouble of finding Wang Yun.

Seeing Cui Song's slow silence, Liu Yao mistakenly thought that this move really annoyed him.Thinking of the ghostly death of Emperor Han Ling, Liu Yao trembled imperceptibly.

"But today the world is full of turmoil and wars are everywhere. Dong Zhuo risked the world's disobedience, acted against the law, and did all kinds of unconscionable things. Don't you want to eliminate harm for the sky, pretend to serve Dong Zhuo, and wait for an opportunity to take his life?"

Cui Song's heart skipped a beat.

I didn't see Liu Yao when I planned with Wang Yun a few times before. Now it seems that Liu Yao doesn't know that he has joined Wang Yun's camp?

Before Cui Song could speak, Liu Yao said again,

"I have no intention of harming you this time. We had many misunderstandings in the past, and I hope to clear up the past."

Then, he said something that left Cui Song speechless.

"Xu Ziyuan (Xu You) has learned enough lessons from his insults to you, and I hope you will forgive him."

Cui Song: People sit at home, and the pot comes from the sky.

He didn't know why Liu Yao thought that Xu You's arrest was his fault, so he could only say slowly, "Where did you come from to say this? Regarding what happened to Xu Ziyuan, I feel extremely regretful, and I only hope that one day he can be rehabilitated."

However, looking at Liu Yao's expression, it is obvious that he does not believe that this is his truth.I don't know if it was Cui Song's illusion, but he felt that Liu Yao's attitude towards him was more polite.

Seeing this, Cui Song no longer made useless excuses.He and Liu Yao went to Dong Zhuo's mansion to meet Dong Zhuo.

Perhaps because of Qinghe Cui Song's reputation, Dong Zhuo's attitude towards him was quite polite when we first met him, only the eyes that belonged to the general were sharp and sharp, with a sense of estimating the value of the goods, which made people feel uncomfortable from the bottom of their hearts .

"Qinghe Cui Lang? I've heard of you for a long time."

Cui Song took a step forward and bowed in a regular manner.

Dong Zhuo sat down and let him finish the salute, seeing that he had finished the salute, he actually bowed with his sleeves together, he maintained this movement without raising his head, he couldn't help wondering: "What is Xiao Lang doing?"

"Song, I came here for Xun Gongda (Xun You), the former servant of the Yellow Gate."

Liu Yao's expression froze, and he looked at Cui Song as if he was looking at a lunatic.

Dong Zhuo's voice darkened by an octave: "Oh?"

"Xun Gongda and I are close friends of gold and stone, and I can't understand his disposition very well. Xun Gongda is definitely not a rebellious person. Song, I would like to guarantee my life. I hope the grand master will see clearly and give me a chance."

Beside him, Liu Yao's expression became dull.

Dong Zhuo stared closely at Cui Song, although he was smiling, but that smile was not much more kind than that of evil ghosts.

"Aren't you afraid that I will take your life if you excuse the felon in front of me?"

"Death, who is not afraid? But since ancient times, 'Wen dies to remonstrate, and Wu dies to fight'. In the past, the Taishi Company (Sima Qian) had a saying: "People are inherently mortal, and it is more important than Mount Tai, or lighter than a feather." "If I dare not speak out today because I am greedy for life and fear of death, it would be against morality, knowing that innocent people are about to die but not step forward; Advocate justice for him; three violations of loyalty, so that the grand master was criticized by the people of the world for killing a righteous man by mistake. "

Cui Song's tone was powerful but powerful, his back straightened, his phoenix eyes did not move or hide, and he looked at Dong Zhuo without fear,

"Scholar, you should abide by the six virtues and be upright. For my own life, if I lose the virtues that scholars uphold, what face do I have to live in the world?"

The jade fell to the ground, and there was no sound.

After an unknown amount of time, Dong Zhuo clapped his hands and laughed.

"His heart can be shown, and his courage is commendable. In this case, as you wish-re-investigate Xun Gongda's 'conspiracy'."

"Thank you, grand master." Cui Song bowed again solemnly, with a little anxiety in his voice, "I heard that Gongda is suffering from a serious illness, I wonder if I can go to visit him?"

Dong Zhuo waved his hand and said nonchalantly, "Go. There is a luncheon at noon, you might as well stay here. After the meal is over, I will lead someone to take you there."

Cui Song thanked him again and again, and he and Liu Yao came out.

Liu Yao approached him: "The Grand Master would actually agree to your request, I thought..."

Cui Song didn't want to pay attention to it, and said in a low voice, "Stay true to your duty (the wall has ears), don't talk too much", then quickened his pace and put a distance away from Liu Yao.

Liu Yao immediately shut up, and quietly let the waiter lead the way.

The two entered the banquet hall, which was full of guests.As soon as he entered the door, dozens of eyes shot over.

Cui Song's eyes met Wang Yun's unexpectedly, both of them looked away casually, pretending not to know each other.

Cui Song didn't expect that after the "poisoning incident", Dong Zhuo only stopped for two days, and then began to hold a large-scale banquet, not only calling his own cronies, but also inviting many court officials.

Cui Song stared at each other, and sat down calmly at the end of the banquet.

Seeing him like this, Liu Yao frowned, stood there for a while, then walked to Cui Song's side, and took a seat next to him.

Cui Song couldn't figure out why this person was so attached to him, so he didn't make much sense, and secretly looked at everyone in the hall.

He caught sight of a certain counselor sitting with him at the end.The counselor had a look of displeasure on his face, and he was drinking alone, ignoring everyone, and no one talked to him.

This counselor was the unnamed counselor who proposed to check everyone's sleeves in the "poisoning incident". Cui Song could recognize this man not because of Diao Chan's report, but because he had met this man unilaterally.

Two days before the "poisoning incident", Cui Song learned through Diao Chan and Wang Yun's intelligence and secret investigations that there was such a person: not very capable, but very high-minded.Cui Song went to the tavern that this man frequented and waited on the sidelines, just in time to hear him complaining about his disappointment.

Cui Song bribed another alcoholic, sat down in a wine shop not far from him, and talked about the secrets of the rich family.

Judging from the results, the story of "the wealthy wife who was full of resentment towards her flirtatious husband hid hairpins in her sleeves, and was finally discovered because her sleeves were punctured" did play a guiding role.

While Cui Song was looking at him secretly, several other people were also looking at him.

One of them was Lu Bu who was sitting in the front row, he recognized Cui Song, drained his glass of wine in one gulp, and asked in a deep voice, "Who is this?"

Diao Chan froze when she stepped forward to pour the wine, and almost missed the wine vessel.

She was already a little panicked by Cui Song's unexpected appearance, but she was even more panicked when she heard Lu Bu's question.

"The servant girl doesn't know... maybe, she is the Grand Master's guest?"

Lu Bu responded and stopped looking at Xi Mo.

On that day, this person came to his house and ran away after blowing Dong Zhuo's words. At that time, he only felt that he was baffled, but afterward, he gradually came back to it.

He is not a fool, this person must have another purpose in coming to his house, but he just gave up for some reason.Although I don't know what this person wants to do, let's wait for it to change and find a chance to find out.

Lu Bu made up his mind and involuntarily paid more attention to Cui Song.

At this time, the waiter at the door welcomed a new guest.

When everyone saw it, it was Shang Shulang Zhongyou.

Cui Song happened to be a little thirsty, so he poured himself a glass of wine.Seeing Zhong Yao coming in, he wanted to put down the wine bottle to say hello, but unexpectedly saw the appearance of a person who came in behind Zhong Yao, and the wine in his mouth almost spewed out.
