Li Ru stared directly at Cao Ang.
He looked up and down, left and right, as if he wanted to take a closer look to see what kind of character Cao Ang was.
Before asking this question, Li Ru thought a lot and had already imagined several answers that Cao Ang might give.
For example, keep it for future use.
Or perhaps killing King Hongnong and the Queen Mother now would easily cause huge turmoil and produce many negative effects, which would be detrimental to Duke Dong.
Even the lowest possibility is that Cao Ang wanted to save the lives of the mother and son out of some loyalty to the Han Dynasty. Li Ru had also considered this possibility.
But the only thing he didn't expect was.
It's actually because of women!
Cao Ang was so beautiful that he had no choice but to step forward and save the Queen Mother.
But when I think about it, it seems reasonable and reasonable. The woman named He is indeed very beautiful. No wonder she can charm this boy.
However, this guy is really courageous. He specializes in choosing difficult and high-status women. He doesn't choose anything else. He chooses someone like the Queen Mother.
Good guy, thanks to Dong Gong, King Hongnong was dethroned as emperor, otherwise, wouldn’t this kid Cao Ang be half the emperor’s father?
The thought of this.
Li Ru couldn't help but sigh inwardly.
This guy is really capable.
So awesome!
No wonder he could be friends with Dong Zhuo, so that a arrogant person like Dong Zhuo would look up to him and praise him every time he was mentioned.
No wonder he was able to impress even a peerless warrior like Lu Bu, calling him brother and brother, knowing each other's life and death.
It turns out that this is where my skills lie!
He couldn't help but reached out and patted Cao Ang on the shoulder, and then Li Ru praised him sincerely from the bottom of his heart.
"Zixiu, what a young hero!"
…
Back to business.
After brainstorming for a while, Li Ru brought the topic back on track.
He also smiled and returned Cao Ang's hand, and then said meaningfully.
"The poisoning of King Hongnong, his mother and his son was not my own initiative. It was an order given by Mr. Dong himself. I was only the executor."
"Zixiu, a young hero, loves beautiful people. This is human nature. I think it's reasonable and it's not a big deal."
"But I can't make the decision in this matter. Even if you squander all the poisonous wine I brought at this moment, you can only stop it for a while, not a long-term solution."
"If I don't get the definite news from Mr. Dong that he will be killed, I will probably have to find another way to kill the mother and son next time. At that time, Zixiu may not be able to break through the heavy guards guarding the attic."
Li Ru's meaning is also obvious.
If you can persuade Dong Zhuo to change his mind, then of course I will follow suit and be a beautiful adult so that I will not hate you.
But if you can't convince Dong Zhuo, then whatever you do now will be in vain. Can you stop him for a while, or for a lifetime?
This time Dong Zhuo was unprepared, and he didn't pay too much attention. All he brought were the soldiers who were originally on duty in the palace.
But once Dong Zhuo knew about this and decided to kill Queen Mother He and King Hongnong, then there would not be just a few soldiers guarding them, and maybe he would no longer be the one to carry out the poisoning mission.
Everything depends on your ability, Cao Ang.
Facing Li Ru's explanation, Cao Ang just shook his head and responded with a slight smile on his face.
"I have long expected that Mr. Dong would definitely attack the Queen Mother and King Hongnong. After all, if we want to secure the throne today, all potential threatening factors should be eliminated."
"So if I could persuade him to withdraw the order, I would have gone to see him before Wenyou came here, instead of breaking the wine pot here."
Li Ru couldn't help but laugh.
How could he not know what Cao Ang said?
After all, it was Li Ru who proposed the idea of poisoning the Queen Mother and her son, and Dong Zhuo acted on it because it made sense.
Unless Cao Ang's weight in Dong Zhuo's heart even surpasses the stability of the emperor on the throne, and surpasses Dong Zhuo's ambition to support the puppet so that he can take a step forward in the future.
Otherwise, it is impossible to change the poisoning plan!
Now it seems that Cao Ang is special, but it is not enough to overwhelm everything.
After figuring this out.
Li Ru handed over his hands very simply and said: "If you can't change Mr. Dong's mind, then please forgive me and say sorry!"
…
Faced with Li Ru's slightly indifferent words.
Not only was Cao Ang not discouraged, but his face was still cheerful and calm and confident.
He said somewhat mysteriously: "Although I can't make Mr. Dong take his life back, I still intend to save the Queen Mother He Hongnong."
"How to save?"
Li Ru looked confused.
Could it be that under such circumstances, there are some clever tricks that can be devised?
The city of Luoyang was completely controlled by Dong Zhuo's army. The two palaces in the north and south were the top priority. Except for some eunuchs and maids, no one with any status was allowed to enter or leave at will.
Unless Cao Ang could fly over the walls, he would not be able to get around Dong Zhuo and get this done!
As Li Ru's doubts fell.
Cao Ang stretched out his right hand, patted Li Ru on the shoulder, and said with a smile.
"In this huge city of Luoyang, besides Mr. Dong himself, there is only one person who can do this for me, and that is Brother Wenyou!"
"If you can cooperate with me and help each other, you will be able to hide the truth and rescue several venerables from the palace."
"After all, you are his most important adviser, and you are even married to one of his daughters. How much does he trust you?"
"As long as Brother Wenyou reports to Duke Dong that he has poisoned the Queen Mother and her son, then he will definitely not doubt you and will only let you take the two corpses out of the city and bury them."
"Wouldn't that make it happen?"
Li Ru was shocked all over.
The boss, whose mouth was open, looked at Cao Ang in shock.
Li Ru was already in such a stunned state when he heard Cao Ang say that he was the only one in Luoyang who could do this.
The whole person was shocked and inexplicable.
Damn it!
Brother, if you are looking for death, don't take me with you!
I have been doing well under Mr. Dong. I want status and wealth. Why should I accompany you to do such a thing as decapitation?
How much dignity do you have for me to cooperate with you?
Besides, you dare to do such a daring thing. Doesn’t this immortal man hang himself because he has a long life?
After the muscles on his face twitched wildly twice.
Li Rucai twitched his lips, couldn't help but took two steps back, and put some distance between him and Cao Ang.
Then he said seriously: "You also know that I am Dong Gong's son-in-law. How could I do such a thing to deceive him just to facilitate you?"
"What's more, this matter is of great importance. Once discovered, even I will not be able to escape the danger of death. If a gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall, I will never do this!"
