On the night when Lu Bu saw off Chen Gui and bought wine, Chen Gui's motorcade stopped in the front yard of Lu Mansion.
At that time, people were coming and going, and leaders from all over the world came to the banquet. Lu Bu, who had neglected to manage the family, was an official and a slave, and in the end no one could tell the difference.
Qu Yi drank a few glasses of wine and went out to use the restroom. He stumbled and knocked down several rickshaw drivers. He immediately started to make a fuss under the influence of alcohol. The situation became chaotic for a while, and everyone came to watch.
Taking advantage of this moment, Mrs. Du, who was disguised and wearing slave clothes, took advantage of the chaos and sneaked into a carriage that had been prepared for Chen Gui's motorcade.
After the banquet, Chen Gui took the motorcade and set off overnight, and Mrs. Du fled the Lu Mansion.
It wasn't until the next day that Mrs. Yan heard that Mrs. Du was missing. She rushed to Mrs. Du's bedroom and found that all the clothes and jewelry were there, but she was missing. She couldn't help but be confused.
Where could she run to?
She suddenly thought of what happened to Chen Gui's motorcade last night and lost her voice: "He must have run away with the Youzhou motorcade!"
"I didn't expect that Mrs. Yuan would pay attention to our family!"
After hearing this, Lu Bu waved his hand and said, "A woman's opinion!"
"It's still possible to say that they are plotting against our daughter. Why does he spend so much time doing these things for an abandoned wife?"
"Ma'am, don't worry about this matter. I will find someone to check if there are spies in the house. Don't make it public before now."
Lu Bu drove the grumbling Yan away, stared at Lu Lingqi and said, "Tell my father, was it you who did Mrs. Du's disappearance?"
Lu Lingqi felt a sudden thought and hesitated, "My daughter doesn't know."
Lu Bu's eyes became sharper and sharper, "Really?"
Lu Lingqi lowered her head: "Mrs. Du is quite pitiful... everyone has bad intentions..."
After hearing this, Lu Bu's eyes softened, "Forget it, she's not important."
"It's just that my father is afraid that you will be deceived."
"Fortunately it's not you who disappeared this time."
Lu Lingqi raised her head in surprise, only to find that Lu Bu had turned around and left.
When Lu Bu found Qu Yi, he found him packing his bags and said, "Dezhou is quite knowledgeable."
Qu Yi smiled bitterly and said, "Yi has done something wrong to Marquis Wen, so naturally he has no face to stay."
Lu Bu was quite surprised, "Do you admit that you did what happened last night?"
"If you want to take a liking to Mrs. Du, you can talk to me. Why take her away secretly?"
Qu Yi laughed and said, "What Marquis Wen said is right. If I really fell in love with her, I would naturally ask for her. How could I act like this?"
"So I can't tell Marquis Wen the reason."
After hearing this, Lu Bu said in a deep voice, "Did Ling'er ask you to do this?"
Qu Yi remained silent.
Lu Bu understood a little bit and said coldly: "Fortunately you didn't hit Ling'er's attention, otherwise you would have died long ago!"
Qu Yi said calmly: "Since I am her master, I will naturally not harm him."
Lu Bu sneered and said, "I don't understand. Dezhou, you deliberately tried to get close to me, but you offended me for an insignificant woman, thus exposing your purpose."
"Texas is not a womanizer!"
"Since you can send Mrs. Du away through Chen Gui's motorcade, it only means one thing."
"Then Hidden Tiger is actually working for Fierce Tiger!"
After hearing this, Qu Yi sighed: "Marquis Wen has understood a lot of things in the past few years."
Lu Bu snorted coldly, "Anyone who suffers such a big loss should think carefully about it."
"What I don't understand is that no matter whether the hidden tiger or the fierce tiger, they are all scheming."
"I can also guess what you want to do, which is to use me to help that vicious tiger achieve his goal."
"But because of this, I don't understand how you could expose your identity just because of something trivial!"
Qu Yi thought: It was because I did it on purpose.
His current behavior is somewhat different from Yuan Xi's original intention.
Before Qu Yi left, he had a conversation with Zhao Yun, who knew about it.
Zhao Yun expressed concern about Qu Yi going to Lu Bu to work as an undercover agent, and asked Qu Yi to meet with Yuan Xi before making a decision.
Zhao Yun said to Qu Yi at that time: "Dezhou wants to be a death soldier."
"There is a difference between a dead soldier and a general. Your life is in danger at any time. Life and death are in the hands of others. Once you fail, you will die quietly."
“It’s a waste of talent like Texas to do this.”
After hearing this, Qu Yi thought for a long time, then raised his head and said, "Thank you Zilong for reminding me."
"But when Zilong said this, I became even more interested."
"My health is no longer good. If I go to the battlefield and encounter a first-rate warrior, I will bring humiliation upon myself."
"Since it's all about risking one's life, it's not a bad idea to try this."
"I have decided to leave immediately."
Zhao Yun sighed slightly, by doing this, Qu Yi freed Yuan Xi. Even if Qu Yi failed and died in the future, the responsibility would not fall on Yuan Xi.
He said: "Why?"
"Because the young master saved Dezhou's life?"
Qu Yi laughed and said, "I have repaid the favor of saving my life long ago."
He stood up and walked out, "I, Qu Yi, have never bowed my head to anyone!"
"In the end, it's just what I want to do!"
Zhao Yun stared at Qu Yi's back and saw a hint of determination in it.
Maybe Qu Yi knows that he can't be cured for long, right?
When Lu Bu saw Qu Yi confessing frankly, he held the short halberd at his waist and said, "Does Dezhou want to harm me?"
Seeing Lu Bu's murderous intention, Qu Yi laughed loudly, "Has Marquis Wen ever heard that who have I harmed in these years?"
"I served as Han Fu's vanguard, but he was afraid of me. I took refuge with Yuan Shao and made great contributions, but he ambushed and killed me!"
"Has Marquis Wen ever experienced this feeling?"
"no?"
Lu Bu's face flushed, "Who said no!"
"That guy Dong Zhuo threw his halberd at me back then. It was obvious that he had murderous intentions!"
"He thought that I had betrayed Ding Yuan, so he would not dare to rebel again. Little did he know that some people wanted him dead!"
"The whole dynasty is full of civil and military officials!"
"How can I be so bold on my own? It's not like..."
He realized that he had made a mistake and immediately shut up.
Qu Yi heard what Lu Bu meant and sarcastically said, "Being with a king is like being with a tiger?"
"Who does Marquis Wen think is the real fierce tiger in the Han Dynasty?"
"Is that why Marquis Wen doesn't want to greet you?"
After hearing this, Lu Bu said dejectedly: "It's not necessarily..."
"The emperor's edict does not mean that he is the only one..."
Only then did Qu Yi guess that this was the crux of Lu Bu's resistance to flattering the emperor.
He was afraid that he would become the next Dong Zhuo.
Lu Bu lacks courage and courage. To put it bluntly, he cannot be the lord, but is suitable to be his deputy.
It was like this when Dong Zhuo was here, and it was like this when Wang Yun was here.
But Lu Bu couldn't bear to be angry and was always dissatisfied with his superiors, which was why he caused so many things.
Qu Yi secretly shook his head, thinking that Master Dao was also seeking the skin of a tiger. Lu Bu was obviously a ferocious tiger too, and I was afraid that no one would be able to succumb to it.
He said slowly: "I don't have long to live, but does Marquis Wen still want to have a good death?"
"Do you think Marquis Wen can survive on his own if he is involved in the general trend of the world?"
"Marquis Wen saw with his own eyes what happened to Dong Zhuo's family after his death."
Lu Bu looked gloomy after hearing this, "That's why I want to find a place for them to take shelter!"
"Yuan Shao can't do it. What other choice do I have besides Yuan Shu? You have Yuan Xi who only has a few counties behind you?"
"He can't even defeat the Montenegrin Army, so what qualifications do he have to recruit me?"
After hearing this, Qu Yi sneered and said, "Marquis Wen is too bad. The master doesn't want Marquis Wen to become his subordinate. He said he is not that capable."
"He just wants to join forces with Marquis Wen to defeat Yuan Shu."
After hearing this, Lu Bu understood and said with a smile: "I still said the same thing, he can't even defeat the Montenegrin Army, how can he be qualified to join forces with me?"
Qu Yi shook his head and said: "The Black Mountain Army is just a cover-up."
"What!" Lu Bu was shocked, "What exactly does he want to do?"
Qu Yi said word by word: "Young master is holding back the Black Mountain Army just to create an opportunity."
"The troops and horses that were apparently going to enter the South Pass at the junction of Wei County and Shangdang and penetrate into the hinterland of Montenegro, their real purpose was to enter Hanoi and join forces with Marquis Wen."
"When the time comes, this army will attack directly from the east of the river!"
Lu Bu stood up suddenly, that's it!
Only a few people knew the true purpose of sending troops in Beixin City, including Qu Yi.
Before the emperor drives back to Luoyang, welcome the emperor in advance!
Now is the time to show off to Lu Bu, because according to the plan, the most elite soldiers and horses in Beixin City, led by Zhao Yun and Jushu, should have bypassed the southern pass of Heishan Mountain and entered Hanoi with a false shot!
Lu Bu said in disbelief: "I once guessed that the purpose of this fierce tiger was to defeat the Black Mountain Army or to destroy my marriage with Yuan Shu, but I never thought that he actually wanted to please the emperor!"
"Isn't he afraid that I will kill all his troops, including Texas?"
Qu Yi smiled and said: "This is the sincerity of the young master. He believes that Marquis Wen will make a decision."
"It doesn't matter if Marquis Wen doesn't agree. He will do what he wants to do. As long as Marquis Wen doesn't stand in his way, he will be rewarded generously afterwards."
"But he also asked me to bring a message to Marquis Wen."
"If Marquis Wen wants to harm this army, he will definitely encourage the Yuan family to fight with Marquis Wen to the death for the rest of his life."
After hearing this, Lu Bu slammed the table and sneered: "How dare he threaten me?"
"What a courage!"
“Isn’t Texas afraid of death?”
Qu Yi stared into Lu Bu's eyes, getting ready to attack, "Marquis Wen, I am the prince's dead soldier, and I don't want to come back alive."
"Even if I die, I won't make Marquis Wen feel better."
Lu Bu was slightly shocked, "What benefits did Fierce Tiger promise you? Is it worth dying for?"
After hearing this, Qu Yi was slightly in a trance, "I don't know exactly, but he is indeed completely different from other nobles."
"Maybe it's because he doesn't just regard me as a subordinate?"
"No matter what he wants to do, he will tell me the cause and effect without hiding anything. He will not treat me as a tool that can be thrown away after use."
"As the lord, I admire his magnanimity very much."
"Perhaps it is because of this that I came to face Marquis Wen directly. To be honest, I am actually very afraid of death."
"But at least there is no shame in dying in the hands of Marquis Wen."
Lu Bu burst out laughing: "Dezhou, you are really a dead soldier, not a lobbyist."
"Are you so persuasive?"
"But if you grovel and beg me, I will look down on you!"
"Now that you are not afraid of death, I will listen carefully to why the fierce tiger wants to serve the emperor with me!"
Qu Yi thought for a while and only said one sentence.
