That night, after Lu Bu took Diao Chan back. He ordered the servants in his house to take good care of Diao Chan. His wife, Mrs. Yan, could tell at a glance that something was wrong.
Thinking that there are no such coincidences in the world, he persuaded Lu Bu: "Husband, I have no objection to your taking a concubine."
"But if something like this happens now, there must be a plan in it that your husband doesn't know about."
"Then Situ Wang Yun and Grand Master Dong Zhuo are both important figures in the court, and my husband can think carefully about why this matter happened to be known to you by such a coincidence?"
It turned out that Mrs. Yan felt that something was wrong when Lu Bu left.
After all, with Lu Bu's status, no matter how powerful he is, how can he catch Wang Yun's eyes?
She herself comes from a noble family, and she knows the rules and details best.
Not everyone in the world can be like Yuan Shu and not pay attention to being well-matched. Because his own strength is greater than anything else, and one person is the king, grandson, and nobleman.
Lu Bu said: "Madam, there is no need to say more. That old thief Dong Zhuo has bullied me too much."
"If I don't kill this man, I, Lu Bu, swear that I will not be a human being!"
Then, he rejected Mrs. Yan and left. Mrs. Yan went to meet Diao Chan in person. After comforting Diao Chan for a while, she said, "Sister Diao Chan, let me ask you, are you really willing to marry my husband?"
"Is this all of your own free will?"
When Diao Chan heard Mrs. Yan's words, her heart was already numb and she couldn't say a word.
Just sitting on the bedside, saying nothing.
But at this moment, Diao Chan felt extremely calm. She knew that she had nothing to do with Wang Yun anymore. And this could be regarded as repaying Wang Yun's kindness in raising him for more than ten years. She didn't know how to describe her heart.
Because at this moment, Diao Chan's heart was full of hope but numb. The glimmer of hope was that she would never have to be someone else's pawn again.
You can live the life you want, at least in peace. If you don't get involved in these court disputes, you don't have to live in such fear.
Numbness is because her body is no longer clean, even worse than the singer in Qin Lou.
Therefore, when faced with Mrs. Yan's questions, he was unwilling to answer a word.
Dong Zhuo on the other side knocked on the door of his son-in-law's house late at night. Li Ru opened the door and asked in surprise: "Master, it's so late, but what's important?"
Dong Zhuo also walked in unceremoniously and said: "It seems that our family has recruited someone to steal Lu Bu's unmarried wives and concubines."
"And I just happened to be bumped into by Lu Bu, so I'm here to help you."
Dong Zhuo walked to the living room and sat down, picked up the teacup and drank the tea in one gulp.
Li Ru couldn't come to his senses for a long time after hearing Dong Zhuo's words. He knew Lu Bu's character very well.
Moreover, Lu Bu is so powerful that Dong Zhuo's actions now are equivalent to hanging himself on a fire pit to roast.
Li Ru: "Master, why is this?"
"Didn't the Grand Master go to Wang Yun's house for a banquet tonight?"
"Why is it related to Lu Bu again? Could it be that the grand master didn't go to Wang Yun's house for the banquet?"
Li Ru still knew Dong Zhuo very well. Lecherous, cruel, and moody. People can't figure out his character, but Li Ru has been with him for more than ten or twenty years, and he knows Dong Zhuo's character very well.
That's why he subconsciously asked such a question. After all, if it was Dong Zhuo, Li Ru wouldn't be surprised at all.
Dong Zhuo heard Li Ru's questions and speculations, and quickly explained: "I was indeed a guest at Wang Yun's house tonight, and the two of us had a very pleasant conversation."
"And Wang Yun was also willing to join us, so he drank a few more glasses of good wine when he was happy."
"Wang Yun had a daughter named Diao Chan. I was already drinking too much at that time, so when I saw that Wang Yun was so beautiful and she had not left the palace, I took her by force."
"Unexpectedly, when the intercourse was only halfway through, I saw Lu Bu barging in."
"This Grand Master now knows that Diao Chan is Lu Bu's unmarried wife and concubine."
After Dong Zhuo finished speaking, Li Ru felt that something was very wrong. After a short period of thinking, I finally discovered the flaw.
And asked: "Master, did Wang Yun stop you at the beginning?"
"It also means that Diao Chan has been married to someone else and is someone else's unmarried wife and concubine."
In Li Ru's view, if Wang Yun had not said this. Then the whole thing is probably a conspiracy of Situ Wang Yun to kill someone with a borrowed knife.
But if Wang Yun said this, it would be a different story. All the reasons for the incident were Dong Zhuo's fault. After all, he himself knew about Dong Zhuo's lewdness.
Dong Zhuo: "Wang Yun did stop me at the beginning, but I was already drunk at that time."
"They were kicked out directly, and Wang Yun just said that Diao Chan was betrothed to someone else."
"But I never said it was Lu Bu, so I took Diao Chan by force."
When Li Ru heard Dong Zhuo's words, he had already made a decision in his heart.
After all, the fault of the whole thing lies only with Dong Zhuo. As for Wang Yun, Lu Bu and Diao Chan, they are just victims.
Moreover, such a commotion has caused them to completely lose Wang Yun's support.
After all, if this incident spreads out, if Wang Yun still surrenders to Dong Zhuo, then Wang Yun will not have to be a human being.
As for Lu Bu, maybe he was just angry for the moment. But there's no telling, after all, Dong Zhuo's cruelty might fall on him at some point.
Now it can be said that this whole thing is almost unsolvable.
After thinking for a moment, Li Ru said, "Early tomorrow morning, the Grand Master will bring a lot of money and ten beautiful women to personally go to Lu Bu to apologize."
"We can only get through this by asking for forgiveness from Lu Bu's fellow."
As soon as Li Ru finished speaking, Dong Zhuo slapped the table and said, "What?"
"You asked me to personally apologize to him. Are you kidding me?"
"Is it possible that Lu Bu still dares to kill me?"
Li Ru could only patiently persuade him: "That Lu Bu is a dragon and a phoenix among men, and a rare and fierce general in the world."
"The Grand Master's Lu Bu is like a tiger with wings, but losing Lu Bu is also equivalent to breaking an arm."
"I would like to ask, are there any generals under the Grand Master who can compare with Lu Bu?"
Li Ru would have no choice, if Dong Zhuo wasn't his father-in-law. He probably packed up his luggage and ran away overnight, since Lu Bu's name as the God of Death was not given by himself.
Rather, it was given by foreigners and the princes of the world, and it was also known as Lu Bu among men and Red Rabbit among horses.
From this point, it can be seen that Lu Bu is not an ordinary person.
Dong Zhuo thought for a long time and then said: "No one can compare with Lu Bu, but no matter what I say, the grand master is still the most powerful person today."
"Hold the emperor to make the princes say nothing, but I am still a prince after all."
"It's too cheap for me to apologize to Lu Bu."
In Dong Zhuo's eyes, asking himself to apologize to Lu Bu was an act of devaluation. Therefore, he was extremely reluctant in his heart. After all, the gap in status was too obvious.
At this time, Li Ru said: "Now Grand Master, you have offended Wang Yun to death, if you still offend Lu Bu to death."
"Then in this Gongyang world, you are the Grand Master and have the final say. We can still accept it without Wang Yun."
"But without Lu Bu, it's like losing an arm. I think the importance of it has been decided by the Grand Master himself in his heart."
Finally, after thinking for a long time, Dong Zhuo said: "I understand, and I will personally apologize to Lu Bu after I go to court tomorrow."
Dong Zhuo has no choice now. It can be said that he has no choice in all this. Because Wang Yun has already offended him to death, if he offends Lu Bu again, he will die.
Then he might be close to death, Dong Zhuo could still see this clearly.
But at this moment, many people have gathered in Wang Yun's mansion.
Although Lu Bu was not among them, all of this was within Wang Yun's plan.
Looking at these colleagues standing behind him, these civil and military officials are all loyal to the Han Dynasty.
Wang Yun said: "Everyone, we are gathering here just to beg thieves."
"Tomorrow, when the city lord goes to court, it will be the best time for us to take action."
"As long as I kill Dong Zhuo, I can return the empire of the Han Dynasty to me. I can also restore a peaceful world to the people of the world. Please help me!"
Wang Yun never said a word about Diao Chan and Dong Zhuo, but these people will still support Wang Yun unconditionally.
Because they are the faction that relies on Wang Yun. In other words, Wang Yun is their actual leader.
Therefore, they did not have the slightest doubt about Wang Yun's decision, so they all raised their glasses and said: "If everything comes true tomorrow, we will be famous for the ages."
"If things don't work out, all I can do is die!"
"Cheers, gentlemen!"
Then, after a few polite words from Wang Yun, they dispersed.
I just wait until tomorrow morning when I go to court to kill Dong Zhuo.
But they have no idea that all of this is just Wang Yun's plan for his own sake.
After their banquet was over, Wang Yun immediately wrote a letter to his confidant and handed it over to Lu Bu.
The letter read: "I personally express my gratitude to you, Dong Zhuo, the old thief, has gone too far to bully us."
"Tomorrow morning, I want to raise my troops to capture the thief. I want to take revenge, so please help me first!"
Although there were only a few short sentences in the letter, each sentence directly touched Lu Bu's heart.
After Lu Bu saw the letter, he also decided to kill Dong Zhuo himself tomorrow.
It's just that some people are happy and some are sad, and the sad person is naturally Li Ru.
Because he was not sure whether this was Wang Yun's plan, but it would be difficult to convince others if he killed Wang Yun for no reason.
That's why he came up with such a compromise method and asked Dong Zhuo to apologize to Lu Bu.
In this way, as long as the most powerful force is still in your hands, you won't be so afraid.
Moreover, it also adds an extra layer of protection to your own safety.
Li Ru looked at Dong Zhuo and held back the countless words he wanted to say. Because being able to let Dong Zhuo bow his head and apologize to Lu Bu in person is already Dong Zhuo's biggest concession.
If the requirements were any more excessive, it would be simply impossible.
Then, he could only sigh helplessly.
It's just that Dong Zhuo still misses Diao Chan in his heart. He was thinking about how to get Diao Chan, but he didn't dare to offend Lu Bu now.
He could only think about this in his own heart.
The next day, when the sky lit up slightly, Li Ru and Dong Zhuo stood up to prepare gold, silver and jewelry for Lu Bu to apologize to. As for those beautiful women, they found palace maids again before.
Although Dou is not as beautiful as Diao Chan, she can still be considered a beauty.
Dong Zhuo watched his jewelry being moved out box after box, and said distressedly: "My dear son-in-law, this should be enough, right?"
In response, Li Ru could only shake his head and said, "It's barely enough. It would be better if these treasures can be used to calm Lu Bu's anger."
"If Lu Bu is not satisfied, the Grand Master may have to sacrifice something."
It can only be said that even at this moment, Dong Zhuo hates Lu Bu so much that his teeth itch. But he could only bow his head temporarily. After all, he had lost Wang Yun's support and then Lu Bu.
In this way, my control over the Young Emperor will become weaker and weaker. In the past, when I was the only one with troops, there was no need to be afraid.
But now Lu Bu also has troops and horses, so he has to weigh it up.
After all, although his army is very powerful, the soldiers and horses in Lu Bu's hands are not vegetarian.
It was not that he didn't know the information about Lu Bu's defeat at that time. Being abandoned by his men and still coming back alive was enough to prove that Lu Bu's terrifying force was worth it.
Dong Zhuo: "Our family knows, but only this time!"
After Dong Zhuo said this, Li Ru breathed a sigh of relief.
At this moment, it was close to six o'clock in the morning. Dong Zhuo also prepared all the gold, silver and jewelry he wanted to apologize to Lu Bu. Even though he was very distressed, there was nothing he could do.
At this moment, Dong Zhuo just hoped that Lu Bu would open his eyes to money, so that he could save a lot of money.
On Wang Yun's side, he had already ambushed Dong Zhuo's only way to go to court, and many of the ministers who were instigated by Wang Yun came to the scene in person.
At Lu Bu's house, Mrs. Yan persuaded Diao Chan in Diao Chan's room all night but did not persuade Diao Chan to speak.
Seeing that it was almost breakfast time, Mrs. Yan was about to give up. Diao Chan spoke: "Give me enough silver and escort me out of the city."
"I'll tell you everything."
At this moment, Diao Chan had already thought clearly that she wanted to live in Nanyang. Because she heard that the people in Nanyang lived very well under Yuan Shu's management, and she could spend the rest of her life there.
As for getting married, she is no longer extravagant.
Madam Yan heard Diao Chan finally speak, but there was nothing she could do when she heard Diao Chan wanted to leave Gongyang. Mainly because he was afraid that he would be blamed by Lu Bu, because Lu Bu personally carried Diao Chan back.
Madam Yan still knew this, which also meant that Lu Bu really liked Diao Chan very much.
So she didn't dare to make any decisions, even though Lu Bu liked her very much.
Seeing Madam Yan's hesitation, Diao Chan said, "Don't worry, I've already been soiled."
"Your husband will never like me anymore. You can handle this matter with confidence."
"As long as you leave Gongyang smoothly, I will tell you everything I want to know."
After hearing Diao Chan's words, Mrs. Yan said with confidence: "Yes, I will send you out of Gongyang, and I can also arrange a fast horse for you."
"I won't reveal where you are going, but you must tell me the truth of everything after you leave Gongyang City ten miles away."
Later, Diao Chan and Madam Yan reached an agreement. So Diao Chan began to change into the clothes worn by a slave and smeared her face dirty.
He covered his face with a piece of linen cloth, took a dagger and dozens of taels of silver and some broken silver given by Mrs. Yan and set off.
At the beginning, he hid in Madam Yan's carriage. When he left the city gate, it went very smoothly and no one dared to stop him.
After driving for a while, we were already far away from Gongyang. After Diao Chan got off the carriage and mounted the horse, Mrs. Yan said, "I have fulfilled my promise, and now it is your turn to fulfill yours."
