Outside the palace gate.
After taking a bath and changing clothes, Li Ru changed into a blue robe, left the house with only two followers, and went straight to Cai Mansion.
He didn't bother to care whether it was late or not, or even whether the banquet was about to start. He, Li Wenyou, is not as fond of food as Jia Xu is, so it doesn't matter whether he eats this meal or not.
It's just that he represents Shangshutai and Dong Zhuo, and he can send a political signal by going there.
Prime Minister Dong is very optimistic about Cai Yong, so I came to support him.
As for gifts... no matter how uninhibited Li Ru is, this is not exempt from vulgarity.
But it's getting late now, the market has been closed for a long time, and it's too late to buy anymore. Even if he could buy it, Li Ru couldn't afford it. He was alone, eating and drinking in the palace, and had no money left on him.
After thinking about it, Li Ru simply wrote a congratulatory message as a gift to Cai Yong.
Although it's a little shabby, it's better than nothing.
As a result, Li Ru was naturally delayed some more time. By the time we left Simamen, the moon was already in the sky.
Two followers held lanterns to guide the way. Li Ru strode down Luoyang Street and arrived at the official residence area soon. Just as he was about to continue walking towards Cai Mansion, Li Ru suddenly heard a noise. His face suddenly changed.
Because he could hear clearly that these sounds came from Cai Mansion.
It stands to reason that it is understandable that there would be some noise at the dinner party where Cai Yong married his daughter.
But Li Ru has been in the military for a long time, how can he not be able to distinguish the difference between noise and fighting.
not good!
Li Ru's heart suddenly suddenly stopped and he stopped in a hurry.
The servant holding a lantern behind him was unprepared and almost bumped into Li Ru.
"The head of the family..."
The servant couldn't help but ask, and at the same time he raised his head, and when he met Li Ru's eyes, he swallowed back the remaining half of the sentence.
Li Ru's eyes were extremely cold at this moment, full of murderous intent, and the aura he exuded was as terrifying as Shura from hell.
who?
Who is it!
He actually plotted evil while Cai Yong was marrying his daughter!
Nothing can happen without warning. Thinking of the fire in Sikong Prison more than ten days ago, Li Ru had an idea in an instant.
Someone must have deliberately set the fire, released the prisoners in Sikong Prison, and then planned what happened today.
The Han Dynasty has been raising scholars for four hundred years, and there are always some left behind, the old and the young.
There were countless people in Luoyang City who disliked Dong Zhuo, and there were also many people who wanted to kill Dong Zhuo, so Li Ru was not surprised at all when someone took advantage of the chaos to attack.
What made him uncomfortable was that the timing of the selection of the plan was so good. He actually took advantage of Cai Yong's marriage to prepare to kill all the backbones of the Dong Zhuo Group.
If it wasn't for the fact that I didn't like socializing, I would have fallen into it too if I came a little late.
The only thing worth debating is how many people are involved.
Especially Cai Yong...does he know or not.
In just a moment, Li Ru's mind went through thousands of times, and countless thoughts flashed through him at the same time. Finally, he waved his sleeves slightly and said softly:
"Put out the lantern, let's go back and be gentle..."
Things have happened, and Li Ru's wisest choice now is to go back and mobilize the army.
In order to prevent the thieves in Cai's mansion from finding out, he even put out the lantern.
The servant had never seen Li Ru speak in such a tone, and he was extremely frightened and hurriedly followed suit.
Li Ru turned around and left quickly. After waiting two blocks, he happened to encounter a group of night patrol soldiers, whom he had sent out on an impromptu basis today.
"stop!"
Li Ru looked happy and hurriedly greeted him.
When the soldiers saw that the person coming was Li Ru, they quickly saluted, but were interrupted by Li Ru waving his hand.
"Quick, pass my order and immediately mobilize all the soldiers and horses in the city to follow me to quell the chaos!" Li Ru ordered.
"As you command!"
The leader of the camp hurriedly answered with cupped fists, turned around and led his men to search for soldiers and horses patrolling other roads.
Li Ru slowly breathed a sigh of relief and turned to look in the direction of Cai Mansion in the distance.
Shuying, you have to stop!
Dong Zhuo handed Luoyang to himself before leaving. If Dong Min died in the hands of thieves, how would he explain to Dong Zhuo?
…
Cai Mansion.
Dong Min lowered his head and looked at the countless arrows on his body, which had turned him into a hedgehog. He couldn't help but laugh miserably, and blood flowed down the corner of his mouth.
"I, Dong Shuying, have fought all my life, so it's not unusual to die by a sword. But the way I die is... extremely cowardly..."
After saying this, a large amount of blood spurted out from his mouth, Dong Min's body fell to the ground, and he died.
Taishi Ci single-handedly killed all the generals around Dong Min before, but he only ordered Dong Min to be shot with a machine crossbow, leaving him no chance for a duel.
At this point, Dong Min, the general of the left side of the dynasty, who was known as Dong Zhuo's poison by the world, was beheaded at the wedding banquet of Cai Yong's daughter.
Such a way of death is a curiosity.
Taishi Ci glanced at Dong Min's body, turned to Xun You and shouted: "Sir, the leader of the thief has been killed, do you want to cut off the head?"
"No need." Xun You shook his head and said, "The general's great achievements and hard work have been noticed by me and the other generals. In the future, the captain will have his own opinion in front of the captain. There is no need to cut off the head to prove it."
He's about to run away, why do he still have a brain?
Hearing this, Taishi Ci immediately smiled and nodded.
Well, as long as I get a lot of credit.
On the other side, Xu Rong led his army out of the backyard, with Cai Yong and his party behind him.
When they were fighting just now, several Xiliang generals took the opportunity to escape into the backyard. Xu Rong led his men to catch up and kill them, and happened to come back with Cai Yong and others.
"Sir, all the thieves in the backyard have been killed!" Xu Rong said, cupping his fists.
Xun You nodded, and a smile appeared on his dull face.
What happened tonight has been completed.
The bad breath in my heart that I had been holding back for more than half a year was finally cleared.
Thinking about it, he walked up to Cai Yong, raised his hands and said with a smile: "Mr. Cai, you are well and well!"
"Gongda, what are you..."
Cai Yong looked at the messy courtyard with rivers of blood, his old face full of sadness.
Xun You said with a smile: "Dong's thieves are unethical and bring disaster to the country and the people. I am here to eliminate thieves for the country. What do you think, Mr. Cai?"
"Okay, that being the case, I have nothing to say." Cai Yong sighed and said, "If Gongda wants to kill me, please do it. Just because of the many years of friendship between me and your uncle, please Let my two daughters go."
Xun You's words were righteous, and Cai Yong thought that he could not escape death. After all, he was considered Dong Zhuo's lineage.
"Why did Cai Gong say this?" Xun You said with a surprised look on his face, "Cai Gong is a great scholar in the world, a prominent figure in the imperial court, and a role model for us scholars, why does he talk so lightly about life and death?"
Cai Yong asked in confusion: "Why, Gongda won't kill me?"
"Those who died today are all Dong Thief's minions, so why do they have anything to do with Duke Cai?" Xun You said with a smile, "It's just that these people died in Duke Cai's house. Once Thief Dong returns to the capital, he will definitely anger Duke Cai. Please ask Duke Cai to leave with me." "
Hearing this, Cai Yong hesitated slightly and nodded.
"Okay, I'll go with you."
First, what Xun You said is indeed true. Dong Min died in his own home, and Luoyang had no place for himself.
Regardless of whether Xun You was begging, Cai Yong was not a three-year-old child and knew that he had no choice at all.
Speaking of running away, Cai Yong then remembered that he had a son-in-law, and immediately looked around, trying to find Wei Zhongdao.
Finally, an unrecognizable Wei Zhongdao was found under the body of a Xiliang general.
"well!"
Seeing this, Cai Yong couldn't help but lament.
As for Cai Yan on the side, her eyes were complicated, and she took a deep look at the man who could not become her husband after all, even though she still didn't know what Wei Zhongdaozhang looked like.
"Sir, it's almost time, it's time to go." Tai Shici reminded him with his fists clasped.
"Okay, let's set off now."
Xun You nodded, and just as he was about to set off, Xu Rong suddenly let out a cry of surprise.
Everyone followed his gaze and discovered a girl hiding behind Cai Yan, who was Dong Bai.
Taishi Ci was also surprised when he saw Dong Bai.
The woman that even the chief clerk couldn't help but stare at for a long time that day was actually here, but she didn't know what her relationship was with Cai Yong.
"General Xu, what's wrong?" Xun You asked confused.
"Sir, this is Dong Bai, the granddaughter of Thief Dong, Lord Weiyang."
"oh?"
Hearing this, Xun You's eyes were filled with surprise.
Why, there was an unexpected gain.
After Xu Rong finished speaking, he rushed forward and pulled Cai Yan away. He slashed at Dong Bai with the sharp knife in his hand, preparing to eliminate the roots.
"ah!"
Dong Bai closed his eyes and let out a terrified scream.
Keng!
There was a sound of gold and stone intersecting, but it was Taishi Ci's hand halberd that blocked Xu Rong's sharp blade.
"General Ziyi?"
Xu Rong looked at Tai Shici who was blocking him and said with confusion on his face.
Taishi Ci shook his head and said, "This woman cannot be killed."
Hearing this, Xu Rong was stunned for a moment, then slowly took back the knife without asking why.
Xu Rong was always cautious, so he naturally did not want to have any conflicts with Tai Shi Ci, a close minister of Zhang Heng.
It's just a woman. If you don't want to kill her, then don't kill her. Anyway, you are following orders.
Compared with sex, Xun You doesn't have so many scruples.
"Ziyi, why can't you kill him?" Xun You asked confused.
"This girl is the one that Master Zhang has taken a liking to, so she naturally has to be left to the Master's disposal." Tai Shici explained.
As soon as this was said, everyone fell silent.
Xu Rong's forehead was covered with fearful cold sweat, and the knife in his hand was so frightened that he almost dropped it to the ground.
If I really kill the woman that Mr. Ziyi loves, I'm afraid that my career will also be cut off.
Even Xun You couldn't help but widen his eyes and looked Dong Bai up and down.
Although this woman is charming and beautiful, her speech and behavior are a bit rough, and it is obvious at first glance that she has not read many books.
Zhang Ziyi is a sincere gentleman who has read poetry and books, but it is puzzling that he would like a woman of this type.
"Then take her away and hand her over to Lieutenant Zhang. But after all, this girl is a relative of the Dong thief, so tie her up first."
Xun You waved his sleeves and said, "Let's evacuate Luoyang!"
