Take a few steps up the attic steps.
Under the surprised looks of Queen Mother He, Liu Bian and others, Cao Ang went straight to Li Ru's side.
In his stunned and puzzled eyes, he grabbed the wine bottle and wine glass.
"Clang!"
The clear sound of impact rang in everyone's ears.
The copper wine jug was smashed directly to the ground, and most of the wine contained in it was spilled on the ground.
Then another wine glass was thrown to the wall, and the turbid wine had long since been swayed to an unknown place.
The movements are coherent and flowing.
Just like this, the pot of poisonous wine carefully prepared by Li Ru was smashed to pieces by Cao Ang, leaving only the residual wine flowing on the ground.
Wait until after all this is done.
Cao Ang finally breathed a sigh of relief, and the stone hanging in his heart fell to the ground. He finally took the time to wipe the sweat on his forehead from running so fast.
"Mr. Wen Xian, what happened above? Do you need us to go up?"
There were inquiries from soldiers downstairs.
Cao Ang's eyes suddenly condensed.
Before Li Rugang was about to open his mouth and scream.
He came to Li Ru's side with one step, then pressed the handle of the seven-star sword on his waist against Li Ru's abdomen, and said with a fierce expression: "Let them stay down there!"
Looking at Cao Ang's fierce face.
And his muscular physique.
Li Ru had no doubt that the dagger in his hand was useless in front of Cao Ang.
Once he showed the slightest sign of calling for help, Cao Ang would kill him with one blow. At least before those soldiers rushed up, he would definitely die.
A gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall.
This is the salary you get, there is no need to risk your life for it.
So he hesitated for only a second.
Li Ru shouted loudly downstairs.
"You don't need to panic. Nothing happened here. Mr. Cao suddenly rushed up, which made me panic for a moment and accidentally knocked the cup in my hand."
"Just wait and see below, if anything happens, I will give you instructions!"
Hear this.
The soldiers guarding below immediately surrendered and obeyed the order.
And one of the leaders also explained sarcastically: "Young Master Cao is General Lu's life and death brother. General Lu has given instructions that Young Master Cao cannot be stopped from walking around in the palace as he pleases. Therefore, we failed to stop him just now. I hope you will." Mr. Wen, please forgive me!"
Li Ru said "hmm" and didn't answer again.
And see this guy is so understanding and cooperative.
Cao Ang also put away his dagger decisively.
Then he apologized to Li Ru and said: "I will obey the authority in urgent matters. I may have offended you a lot, but I hope you can forgive me!"
The dagger is only for intimidation.
It was impossible to use this thing alone to coerce Li Ru into making some substantial concessions in his interests.
…
Seeing Cao Ang put away the dagger.
Li Ru felt a little uncomfortable, so he rubbed his abdomen that had just been pressed by the handle of the knife, and then took a few steps back to get out of Cao Ang's attack range.
Then he began to examine it quietly.
Cao Ang, Cao Zixiu, he knew this man.
But not familiar with it.
And I have never had any communication before, not even a word.
But as Dong Zhuo's chief adviser, he had some knowledge of all the people Dong Zhuo welcomed and sent.
It is said that this boy and Dong Gong have a very good relationship. Although the two are different in age and seniority, they feel like they have been friends for many years.
At least when Dong Gong mentioned Cao Ang, his face would be full of smiles, and he seemed to be quite optimistic about the son.
As for Dong Zhuo's character, Li Ru has a relatively clear understanding of Dong Zhuo's character after following him for so many years.
Not a kind person!
Only remember other people's grudges and never remember other people's kindness. Even if you do ten good things to him, if you don't do one thing right to him, then you will become enemies.
For such a cold-blooded and ruthless person to have such thoughts about Cao Ang can only mean one thing, that is, in Dong Zhuo's heart, Cao Ang is a very useful person.
Only those who can be of great help to Dong Zhuo's future career will be treated with special regard.
In this case, Cao Ang and Dong Zhuo should be on the same side. They should have relatively consistent interests. How could they ruin Dong Zhuo's plan today?
Could there be some hidden secret in it?
Right.
Yesterday at the court meeting in the main hall, it was Cao Ang who stood up openly and accused Dong Zhuo of bringing the Queen Mother and the Emperor to the main hall to humiliate them.
As a result, Dong Zhuo admitted his mistake and allowed Cao Ang to take the mother and son out of the hall.
Could it be that today's situation is similar to yesterday's?
Of course, no matter what.
If this kid dares to threaten himself with a dagger today, then this matter cannot be easily reversed no matter what.
…
After a long moment of silence.
Li Ru then said calmly: "Zixiu is lucky. If these soldiers knew what I was doing here today, I'm afraid you wouldn't be able to break in so easily."
Cao Ang didn't care at all.
He just smiled indifferently, then waved his hand and said: "It's best not to know. If you know something, you can just silence them all afterwards."
Cao Ang was in a hurry to save people, so it was impossible for him to think carefully about these issues, so he had to force his way in.
It would be fine if the soldiers were frightened by shouting and scolding. If they were not frightened, then after Li Ru was dealt with, these soldiers would all die.
A slightly indifferent answer.
Li Ru couldn't help but shrink his pupils, and he tightened his grip on the dagger he had just drawn.
Then he casually pointed at the wine bottle that Cao Ang threw in the corner and said, "What does Zixiu mean by this? Do you want to be an enemy of Duke Dong?"
Cao Ang did not answer immediately.
He just waved his hand and signaled Queen Mother He to take the Emperor and Tang Ji away from here, and he was going to talk to Li Ru alone.
After several people obediently hid in the Nuan Pavilion.
Cao Ang bowed his hand to Li Ru, and then said with a smile: "I have no intention of becoming an enemy of Duke Dong. I just want to save the Queen Mother from Wen You."
Li Ru was suddenly stunned.
This...this kid is really here to save people?
This time he didn't understand.
What on earth was Cao Ang thinking, and why did he have to make the opposite move to Dong Zhuo over and over again on the issue of the Queen Mother and others?
It stands to reason that only when two people have the same position and agree on the same goal can they further become friends and even forge a deep friendship on this basis.
But what Cao Ang is doing now is clearly going against Dong Zhuo and choosing a contradictory position.
Why is this?
…
Li Ru's analysis is actually correct.
Dong Zhuo and Cao Ang are indeed the same kind of people, that's why they get along so well.
But their positions are not entirely consistent.
The same goal they agree on is that the world is not owned by the Liu family and can be replaced by him.
It does not mean that Cao Ang agrees with Dong Zhuo's coming to be the master of the world. What he has always been thinking about is the world of Cao Wei. What nonsense does he have to do with Dong Zhuo, a big black bear?
This is what Li Ru doesn't understand.
After a long while of silence.
Li Rucai hesitated and asked, "Why did Zixiu save the Queen Mother and King Hongnong? Could it be that you are just as loyal and good as the officials from the outer dynasty said?"
Talk about people when you see them, talk about ghosts when you see ghosts.
In front of people like Dong Zhuo and Li Ru, he will never be a loyal man.
Therefore, Cao Ang shook his head decisively.
"I'm not interested in being a loyal minister. As the Han Dynasty is declining, what's the benefit of being a loyal minister? I won't do it!"
As he spoke, Cao Ang approached Li Ru, lowered his voice, and spoke quietly.
"Ang Po is very fond of the Queen Mother, so he came here just to save one of her. However, King Hongnong is the Queen Mother's own son, so in order to prevent her from having trouble sleeping with her in the future, we rescued her together!"
Li Ru's eyes suddenly widened.
Damn it! ! !
