Fan Li arrived at the Taishi Mansion and found that it was already full of guests.
Grand Master Dong Zhuo held a banquet, and all the important officials of the Han Dynasty were invited.
"Great Chu Jin Gong has arrived!"
As the attendants sang, Fan Li immediately felt dozens of eyes directed at him.
Some were envious, some were surprised, and some were puzzled, but what he could feel most clearly was disgust and rejection.
Fan Li was puzzled.
It seems like I haven't offended anyone yet when I first arrived in Han Dynasty, right?
"Mr. Jin, it's really easy for me to wait!"
Suddenly, an unpleasant sound like thunder came from the main seat of the banquet.
Fan Li also recognized the other party's identity.
Wearing nine crowns on his head, wearing a black uniform, with a fat body and fierce eyes, he is Dong Zhuo, the great master of the Han Dynasty!
Dong Zhuo stood up, strode up to Fan Li, and held Fan Li's right hand.
"Mr. Jin, you and I are brothers!"
Damn it.
Fan Li thought he was hallucinating.
Talking about brothers with Dong Zhuo?
Is this an unfortunate thing that only happens when someone digs up the ancestral grave?
All the Han ministers present were in a commotion when they heard this.
Fan Li understood instantly, and his eyes immediately turned cold.
Is Dong Zhuo pulling himself into trouble and making the Han officials mistakenly believe that the two powerful officials of Chu and Han have a secret personal relationship?
He quietly withdrew his hand and said in a calm tone: "I met Grand Master Dong for the first time, but I even forgot to prepare a meeting ceremony. I'm really sorry."
As soon as these words were spoken, the restlessness of the ministers seemed to be calmed.
really.
Those who are qualified to attend this banquet are all human beings.
What Fan Li just said actually had two meanings.
First, when we first met, we were not familiar with each other at all.
Second, if you don’t bring gifts, you lack goodwill.
The looks that the Han ministers cast towards Fan Li were indeed less hostile.
"Oh? Hahaha, it doesn't matter."
When Dong Zhuo saw that he could not force Fan Li to do anything, he was not angry. He just laughed a few times and forced the page to turn over.
"I have something important to discuss with Duke Jin."
Fan Li knew that if he didn't give Dong Zhuo some face, he might fall out on the spot due to his suspected Mahayana status and his notoriously violent temper.
He nodded: "I am all ears."
"Don't be in a hurry." Dong Zhuo was very satisfied with Fan Li's attitude. "The Duke of Jin has a distinguished status and should sit on the throne with me. Let me deal with a trivial matter first, and then I will discuss it in detail with the Duke of Jin."
He then said to Cao Cao who was behind Fan Li: "Mengde, you can find a seat wherever you like."
"Yes, Master."
The original intention of Cao Cao's trip was to protect Fan Li.
But seeing that Dong Zhuo had no intention of harming Fan Li, he felt relieved.
"Trivial matters? Not like that"
Fan Li murmured in his heart.
For this banquet, dozens of important officials from the Han Dynasty were invited. Fan Li did not believe that Dong Zhuo was just handling trivial matters.
Snapped!
Bang bang!
Dong Zhuo clapped his hands and shouted outside the palace: "Bring him in."
I saw a silver-armored general striding over. He looked majestic, but he also had a violent aura.
The silver-armored general held a Fangtian painted halberd in his right hand, and Fan Li immediately recognized his identity:
Lu Bu!
But what made Fan Li even more curious was the fact that Lu Bu was holding a sika deer in his left hand.
Wait a moment!
Sika deer?
"Everyone."
"I recently got a thousand-mile horse, please appreciate it."
After the old god Dong Zhuo finished speaking, he did not forget to glance at Fan Li.
"What the hell?!" Fan Li cursed in his mind: "Calling a deer for a horse? Is it okay for an old boy to steal my content?"
The officials of the Han Dynasty were also shocked when they saw Dong Zhuo referring to a deer as a horse.
Fan Li called a deer a horse, and this incident had already spread throughout the Chu, Han, and Ming kingdoms.
Dong Zhuo reenacted his famous scene in public, which was a great shame and humiliation for all the Han officials!
"I was still dragged into the water." Fan Li said helplessly in his heart.
Now he was sitting next to Dong Zhuo, and he couldn't wash himself away from any river he jumped into.
"Master Dong, this is clearly a sika deer, why do you insist on saying it's a horse?" A Han minister was so angry that he couldn't help but tell the truth.
As soon as he finished speaking, a silver cold light suddenly flashed!
It was Lu Bu who wielded the Fang Tian Painted Halberd with his terrifying cultivation and chopped off the man's head on the spot!
"Yang Situ!" someone cried sadly.
Lu Bu was holding a blood-stained halberd and stared at the man again with a fierce look in his eyes.
"Evil thief! Beast! I will fight with you!"
This man roared angrily, and his whole body was wrapped in green Qi. He was obviously a civil servant who practiced Haoran Qi.
But before he could take action, Fang Tian's painted halberd easily penetrated the green aura that enveloped his body like a bubble.
Even he himself was stabbed to the core.
After killing two people in a row, Lu Bu seemed to have no feeling at all. Instead, he looked around with a smile.
"Yang Biao and Huang Wan took action during the banquet, clearly intending to assassinate me." Dong Zhuo finally said: "The two thieves have been eliminated, gentlemen, there is no need to panic."
He added: "Fengxian, you have done a good job in escorting the chariot. I will confer you with the title of [Marquis of Wen]. You can lead the thousand-mile horse down first."
"Thank you stepfather!"
Lu Bu knelt on one knee, looking happy.
A farce-like killing made Fan Li see Dong Zhuo's methods clearly.
brutal!
It is different from Fan who has been running Dachu for many years, forming a monopoly in many fields such as military, government and business, and then winning hearts and minds through his kindness.
Under Dong Zhuo, he only relied on force.
Seeing this clearly, Fan Li felt calm.
gap.
After all, there is a fundamental difference between the nouveau riche and the thousand-year-old family.
Fan Lizhen somewhat looked down on Dong Zhuo, who would only use such crude means to consolidate power.
"Ding!"
"Publish the mission: [The most treacherous minister in the world], also known as [Deceiving the King and Disobeying the Superior] Enhanced Version!"
"Mission introduction: On the top of the pyramid where the traitor stands, there is no second figure other than the host."
"Task requirement: What is more treacherous than a treacherous minister is bullying the emperor of other countries. Ask the host to bully Liu Xie, the Han Emperor, so that Dong Zhuo will have no one to bully."
"Mission reward: [Emperor's Underwear]."
"Reward description: The dragon robe does not have to be worn outside, [the emperor's underwear], a heavenly protective spiritual treasure. Wearing requirements: Emperor's fate."
Fan Li was speechless for a while.
He just despised Dong Zhuo a little in his heart. Why did the system insist on competing with Dong Zhuo?
This system is somewhat competitive.
"What the hell are [Emperor's Underwear]? Dragon underwear?"
"Forget it, luckily it's not [The Emperor's New Clothes]."
Fan Li was thinking wildly when he saw Dong Zhuo looking at him with a smile.
"Jin Gong, the trivial matters are over. Please talk to me in the back hall?"
"……good."
Fan Li followed Dong Zhuo into the back hall. Before he could sit down again, he heard Dong Zhuo showing off proudly.
"The Duke of Jin's [referring to a deer as a horse] is indeed a brilliant move. Nowadays, there are very few civil and military officials in the Han and Manchu dynasties who dare to disagree with me."
Fan Li couldn't help but roll his eyes.
Damn it!
Is this how [referring to a deer as a horse] is used?
What a fool!
Dong Zhuo continued to make shocking remarks: "Jin Gong, you and I are both people who want to change the dynasty. When we come to the Nine Five-Year Plan in the future, we hope to be a country of brothers forever. We must not let Zhu Houcong take advantage of it?"
In this world, there is no love without reason, and there is no hatred without reason.
Dong Zhuo repeatedly conveyed his goodwill to Fan Li, and this was his original purpose.
Without waiting for Fan Li to reply, Dong Zhuo raised his hand to signal.
"A small gift, it can be regarded as a meeting gift from me to Duke Jin."
Gift?
Fan Li was just looking forward to it, but he smelled the fragrance of flowers, and then there was a graceful red figure kneeling in front of him.
"I am Diao Chan... I am honored to serve Duke Jin."
