[Three Kingdoms] Heroine Cultivation Manual

Qin Chu leaned against the screen, counting the time with his eyes downcast.

Sleepy in spring and tired in summer, oil lamps were hung in the emperor's Deyang Hall, and the warm yellow light cast down heavily, which was just not well covered by the screen, and she fell asleep waiting.

"Not return--"

Suddenly a long cry came from the cuckoo outside, and the sound was approaching and then far away.Liu Bian was already restless, but he was startled again when he heard the birdsong, and the bamboo slip in his hand hit the peach branch mat on the floor with a "slap", and the wind brought by it shook the candlelight beside the desk.

Immediately afterwards, the resplendent palace gate seemed to move, and when Liu Bian bent down to pick up the book, there was a muffled "click", and the young emperor was suddenly covered in cold sweat.

He raised his head with a stiff neck, only to see Grand Master Dong coming in with his hands behind his back, accompanied by a thin and harsh middle-aged scholar, and twelve Xiliang soldiers were guarding in front of the hall gate.

"Your Majesty." Dong Zhuo stepped forward slowly, stepped on the steps and walked up to Liu Bian. The long knife at his waist swayed with his movements. The topaz inlaid on the hilt just reflected a bright light. He said slowly, " Long time no see."

Grand Master Dong did not salute him, and Liu Bian did not dare to ask for it.He arched his back and stood up awkwardly: "I have seen the Grand Master."

Dong Zhuo's arrival seemed to arouse some emotions in him, and Shaodi's numb shell dropped a few petals, vaguely revealing the fear inside.That bit of emotion came back to him like a flash of light, and then he belatedly thought of Qin Chu, and his eyes drifted to the corner unconsciously for a while.

"Fu Chu, what exactly is she here for?" Liu Bian wondered, "Does she know that Dong Zhuo is coming today?"

However, he soon lost his mind to think about these.Dong Zhuo had just managed to kill his biological mother, Empress Dowager He, and put pressure on all sides, which made him mature quickly—making him change from a ignorant emperor to a calm , The emperor who asked three questions.

Liu Bian followed the movements around him in silence, and soon noticed Li Ru's icy gaze beside Dong Zhuo, and his back froze.

Li Ru met his eyes, seemed to be nodding, and actually stopped looking at him, but went up to whisper to Dong Zhuo, occasionally leaking a few fragmented words, and he keenly captured "King Chen Liu" And "Fuli".

Liu Bian: "..."

His heart sank, and he already had a faint premonition.

Liu Bian didn't know about Dong Zhuo's request to abolish the emperor before.

Dong Zhuo strictly separated him from King Chenliu, and guarded the temple with heavy soldiers. Except for necessary appearances in court, he was restrained from seeing others.

But that day, somehow, a servant came in, rushed over in three steps at a time, knelt down on the spot and hugged his leg and cried out, crying: "Your Majesty! The world will be in chaos!"

He didn't know why at the time, but he saw Xiliang soldiers detain him until Dong Zhuo came and ordered the soldiers to stick him to death in front of the little emperor.

Liu Bian then watched helplessly as the servant who was kneeling and weeping was tortured to death with a cane. When he died, he still stared at him with tearful eyes, without closing his eyes.

Only then did the young emperor realize what kind of ambition Dong Zhuo had.

He suffered for three days in the numbness of "waiting for death" and the fluke of "maybe it's rumors", and his attitude finally slipped inevitably to the first one—forget it, just die, it's better than bowing your head every day humiliated.

As for Qin Chu, the edict he sent an angel at that time probably wasn't taken seriously.

Liu Bian himself did not expect that the original struggle between the He clan and the eunuchs would actually endanger his throne...and his life in the end.

Liu Bian just felt numb in his heart, and was ready to die, while Dong Zhuo had already finished talking with Li Ru at this time, and was ready to attack.

This person is still far away from politicians in terms of scheming, but he has a lot of knowledge in changing faces, his face darkened in the blink of an eye, and he shouted like a play:

"Liu Bian, are you convicted?!"

This is really a thief crying catch a thief.Liu Bian could already guess his own ending, and felt sad and ridiculous in his heart, but his body trembled unconsciously.

After all, he is a half-grown boy who has been overwhelmed by the current situation. In just a few months, no matter how many changes he has suffered, he will not be able to "not show his emotions and anger", so he can only ask with a trembling voice:

"What is the meaning of this, Grand Master?"

Dong Zhuo didn't intend to explain.He was just going through a dispensable cutscene with Liu Bian, and he ignored the matter as soon as he threw it away, so he waved his hand neatly, walked up to the previous soldier behind him, took the bamboo slip in Li Ru's hand, and read it calmly road:

"Emperor Xiaoling passed away early, leaving only the eldest prince Bian to succeed to the throne, but Bian's talent is frivolous, his prestige is inconsistent, his mourning is slow and lazy, and his morals are obvious—"*

With this indifferent and rigid background sound, Liu Bian saw Li Ru take out a small jug of wine from his sleeve, then took the small bowl presented by another soldier, and poured the slightly murky wine into it without leaving a drop.

His face instantly turned white into a wall.

Giving wine... the meaning couldn't be more obvious.

"Please, Your Majesty."

Liu Bian was pushed by Xiliang soldiers, and the chill came up through the cracks between his bones, making his teeth chatter.

He staggered and was stepped forward, and took the bowl of poisoned wine stiffly.Seeing that his movements were too slow, Li Ru frowned, stretched out his hand, and two more soldiers stepped forward.

One of them tied Shaodi's thin hands behind his back, stuck his neck, and held him down like a chicken cub, and the other pinched his face neatly, forcing him to open his mouth. It flowed steadily down his throat.

"Uh, cough cough—cough!"

The hot liquor almost scalded his throat, and Shaodi's tears finally flowed down uncontrollably. The physical pain and psychological humiliation made him fall into a near-desperate fear. Liu Bian's legs were weak, if not for the soldiers behind him supporting him , almost knelt down.

"King Hongnong, let's go."

He saw Dong Zhuo bent down to look at him with a smile, as if he was looking down at a sparrow whose wings had been broken. He didn't realize it for a while, but he realized, "King Hongnong "It was his title after he was abolished.

"..."

Liu Bian burst into tears, and the illusory imperial dignity was completely lost at this moment.

His heartbeat started to speed up for some reason, his five fingers were numb, and Qin Chu's youthful face, which was neither sad nor happy, suddenly flashed in his mind, and he turned his head like a broken pot, staring straight at the screen, his eyes were red.

Fu Chu, did you see that!Fu Chu, help me! !

...Save me, I will give you whatever.

"Not return--"

The cuckoo outside the window suddenly opened his voice, and the teacup in his hand fell to the ground with a "snap", and it immediately fell apart.The tea flowed across the mat and slowly seeped into it.

The heart of the person sitting in front of the desk jumped wildly, and he raised his head as if waking up from a nightmare, with fine sweat dripping from his forehead.

The servant hurriedly bent down to collect the debris, and apologized in a hurry: "I'm sorry, master."

Lu Zhi breathed a sigh of relief, frowned, and waved his hands impatiently: "Go down first."

"…promise."

The servant bowed his head and retreated with the fragments in his arms, and just happened to rub shoulders with the hurrying nurse. He couldn't help turning his head and glanced, only to find that Lu Zhi's face was very pale.

Luoyang has been raining for the past few days, and the atmosphere in Lu Shangshu's house is also extremely depressing. These nursing homes were originally just guarding the house, but recently there seems to be some more tasks. The servants often see them go out, and there is no need to report them when they come back. Then you can meet the master, perhaps conveying some news.

"Master. The one over there said that the emperor has been rescued and is recuperating at the mansion... The replacement corpse is also fully prepared. If there is no accident, no one will be able to investigate."

In a place where the servants of the Lu Mansion cannot see, Lu Zhi's confidant, who is in charge of the nursing home, is reporting the emperor's movements that he has detected:

"Besides, Cao Cao has already gone to Daying in the south of the city with her men, and joined her cronies, and is on standby in front of Guangyang Gate."

In his early years, Lu Zhi served as a general of Zhonglang and fought against the Yellow Turban. After he abdicated, he brought back a few slightly disabled sergeants and served as the nursing home of Shangshufu.As soon as he stretched out his hand, the nurse stepped forward knowingly, took out Qin Chu's handwriting from his arms, and handed it over respectfully.

"The next court meeting, General Chu will send His Majesty back to his throne as promised. At that time, I will ask Shang Shulang to help me."

It's a high-sounding statement.Lu Zhi raised his sleeve and wiped the fine sweat from his forehead, and whispered to himself: "...Chen Xingshi may not be right to choose her."

"what did you say?"

"It's nothing."

On the day of the six people's secret meeting, he and Qin Chu had a conflict in the Chen Mansion, and the discussion was "whether the emperor should be allowed to feign death to avoid disaster".

Qin Chu believed that Dong Zhuo was too powerful and should not confront him if he was not fully prepared, so he chose to provide internal troops to make Shaodi feign death and Dong Zhuo to relax before besieging the Xiliang army and confronting him face to face in the court.

Lu Zhi is indeed a typical scholar's way of thinking, thinking that "feigning death will lose the dignity of imperial power", and it is better to gather brave warriors to assassinate Dong Zhuo.

He is a pure minister, known for his uprightness in the imperial court, and he has many disciples, so he became the head of the scholars, and he is quite prestigious in Luoyang, if he really wants to seek a righteous man to assassinate Dong Zhuo, it is not impossible at all.

... After all, strictly speaking, whether it is Cao Cao offering the seven-star sword to assassinate Dong Zhuo, or Wang Yunding's serial plan to lure Lv Bu to eliminate the thief, it is actually an "act of a righteous man".

If we follow the established history, Lu Zhi's idea is absolutely reasonable, because Dong Zhuo will indeed die because of this.

But Qin Chu was too well prepared, she had no shortage of soldiers and horses, no lack of internal information channels, and even with her force, she could do better than others in assassinating Dong Zhuo—some things, she could do alone.

Lu Zhi finally chose to compromise.

He was not persuaded, but he inevitably realized the cruel fact in the dispute: Qin Chu has overwhelming strength.

Whether she has ambitions similar to Dong Zhuo, Lu Zhi can't tell now.But he accepted Qin Chu's opinion, not only for the sake of the precarious throne, but also to keep abreast of Qin Chu's movements and prevent her from making troubles by saving him.

The same thing must never happen twice.

However, judging from the current situation, what Qin Chu did was still on the planned route. Neither Cao Cao nor Cai Yong and Chen Xingshi seemed to feel any problems.

Lu Zhi rubbed his temples: "Forget it. The goal is the same right now, so don't be suspicious of each other."

"Lu San." He called the nurse and ordered, "Go to the Lord Wuyang Pavilion's mansion first, and take a look at the emperor's condition for me."

"promise."

The nurse turned around and was about to leave. After taking two steps, he suddenly heard a low sigh from behind, accompanied by four cuckoo cries of "It's better to go back" at the end of spring, as sad as if a tall building collapsed.
