Xiaoqi

"Eh?" Dong Zhuo was startled when he heard the words, turned his head to look at Dong Wan in surprise, and asked, "Wan'er, you also know about this?"

"The imperial decree has been issued, how can my daughter not know?" Dong Wan looked at Dong Zhuo worriedly and said.

Dong Zhuo's eyes wandered, he turned his head to avoid Dong Wan's watery and concerned eyes, and said insincerely perfunctory: "It is true. Just now, in order to thank my father for his recommendation, Wang Yun specially hosted a banquet for my father. But for my father I heard that you and Wenchang came to see me and were waiting in the mansion, so my father hurried back immediately."

As the saying goes, knowing a daughter is like a father, and vice versa.

Seeing her father Dong Zhuo's eyes dodge, Dong Wan knew that what Li Li told her earlier was most likely true.Father Dong Zhuo recruited Wang Yun's daughter Diao Chan into the palace under the guise of the emperor's concubine, and then he was very likely to bring Diao Chan into the inner palace as a concubine.

Thinking of this, Dong Wan felt very anxious, and asked urgently: "Father, do you know that Diao Chan is Lu Bu's unmarried wife, and it is said that they are scheduled to get married on the [-]th of March?"

"Uh, my father knows about this matter. But this time, the emperor is setting up a concubine, so there is nothing a father can do! Besides, Fengxian has already married a wife, and his daughter is seven or eight years old. This time, I can only wrong him. I think he won't mind." Yes." Dong Zhuo said matter-of-factly.

"Father, Lu Bu's daughter is only seven or eight years old this year, but your daughter is already married. But why do you still hide and accept Diao Chan as a concubine by force?" Dong Wan saw that her father was evasive, not telling the truth, She simply pointed out the essence of the matter directly.

"Presumptuous!" Dong Zhuo suddenly felt ashamed, scolded Dong Wan angrily, and then said angrily: "Wan'er, get married and follow your husband. From now on, you can just stay with Wenchang well, and you don't need to worry about other things!"

"Father-in-law, please calm down. Wan'er is also thinking about your health. I am afraid that Diao Chan will ruin the father-son relationship between you and Fengxian's righteous brother. That's all, there is nothing else to think about. I also ask father-in-law to learn from you." Li Li saw Dong Zhuo Getting angry, she quickly pulled Dong Wan behind her and persuaded Dong Zhuo with a smile.

Listening to Li Li's persuasion, Dong Zhuo was annoyed, but his expression was slightly startled, and then he frowned and fell silent.

If this sentence came from Dong Wan, Dong Zhuo would be even more angry, because Dong Wan is his biological daughter.How could he not be angry when his own daughter said that he was a bad father?But the words from Li Li's mouth, the weight is different.

Although Li Li is Dong Zhuo's son-in-law, Li Li himself is a major general with a large army in his hands. It is not an exaggeration to say that he is a prince of Liangzhou independent of the Xiliang Army.The most important thing is that Li Li pointed out the stakes as soon as he spoke, indicating that Diao Chan might cause discord between Dong Zhuo and Lu Bu, and even turn against each other.

It was exactly what Li Li said that touched Dong Zhuo a lot.In fact, Dong Zhuo also had this concern before.

In order to make Diao Chan smile, Lu Bu did not hesitate to lead the army to fight head-on with Li Li's Wuwei army.It can be seen that Lu Bu loves Diao Chan very much.Love to the bone.

But, coincidentally, ever since seeing Diao Chan, Dong Zhuo has never thought about tea or food, and his mind is full of the dancing image of Diao Chan.It was like a dream haunting him, and he was so fascinated that he couldn't see each other for a day, and he wanted to run to Situ's mansion every day, only wishing to see Diao Chan one more time.

Since then, the father and son have taken a fancy to the same woman.How to choose?

Regarding this, Dong Zhuo already had some concerns in his mind.He was going to add officials to Lv Bu, make Lv Bu a general of the imperial court, and reward him with more gold, silver, jewels and beauties, so that the matter could be settled.Because Lu Bu prefers these things.He is a typical snob. At the beginning, Dong Zhuo used a hundred taels of gold and a red rabbit horse to subdue Lu Bu.Even Lu Bu personally beheaded Ding Yuan's head as a gift of audience.I think that Ding Yuan has been kind to Lu Bu for rebuilding.He promoted Lu Bu from the grass to the position of the head of the Bingzhou Army, and accepted him as his adopted son.Even so, Lu Bu did not give up Ding Yuan easily, and for the sake of fame and fortune, he did not hesitate to kill his father in order to gain promotion.

In view of this, in Dong Zhuo's eyes.Lu Bu is a ruthless and ungrateful snob.As long as he is rewarded with a sufficiently prominent official position and gold and silver treasures, he will not hesitate to give up Ding Yuan, his adoptive father, let alone a mere Diao Chan?

After repeated consideration, Dong Zhuo gradually felt relieved.He believed in his own vision and ability to recognize people.I also firmly believe that my judgment of Lu Bu's personality and preferences is very accurate, and I will never make a mistake.

After a long silence, Dong Zhuo looked at Li Li seriously, and said in a deep voice, "Wenchang, you and Wan'er are here tonight to persuade our family to give up Diaochan, right?"

Hearing this, Li Li looked at Dong Wan in surprise, and then the couple shook their heads helplessly.

However, Li Li is not a person who gives up easily.He respectfully said to Dong Zhuo: "Father-in-law is clear, it is true. Fengxian and Diaochan had a long-standing engagement, and they are about to get married soon. At this time, father-in-law suddenly recruited Diaochan into the palace as his concubine, and the son-in-law was worried that Fengxian would only I'm afraid he will become angry from embarrassment! Besides, Feng Xian has indeed made great contributions before, and he has also played a role that cannot be ignored in helping his father-in-law take power in the world. This time, if it is only because of Diao Chan that he has a grudge against his father-in-law, forgive my son-in-law for being bold To put it bluntly, father-in-law did not act wisely this time, and may even bring about his death!"

"Oh? Wenchang means that Fengxian may harm our family because of this?" Dong Zhuo frowned and muttered.

Li Li said without hesitation: "Yes. Lu Bu is a man who prides himself on his bravery, is arrogant and domineering, forgets righteousness when he sees profit, and is capricious. In addition, his father-in-law favored him too much before, so that he is now in Jiuqing. He has the title of Marquis of the county. From this point of view, if my father-in-law wants to be bribed by a high-ranking official, it may not be easy. Unless "

"Unless what? Wenchang tell me quickly." Dong Zhuo asked eagerly.

"Unless my father-in-law handed over all the power of soldiers and horses in the world to Lv Bu, making him a high-ranking official and an extremely human minister. Perhaps only in this way can he be temporarily appeased and let him give up his covetous desire for Diaochan. However, this is a stopgap measure. But An Lubu's momentary righteous indignation was hard to get rid of the resentment in his heart after all, and there will be endless disasters!" Li Li said firmly.

Dong Zhuo immediately asked in a deep voice, "Wenchang has a solution once and for all?"

Li Li looked at Dong Zhuo in astonishment, but found that Dong Zhuo's expression was as calm as water, making it impossible to see his true thoughts.

Then Li Li whispered: "My son-in-law has a solution once and for all. That is to ask my father-in-law to order my son-in-law to send troops to destroy Lu Bu. Others are afraid of Lu Fengxian, but I, Li Li, am not afraid of him. Only the father-in-law can make up his mind. Within a month, my son-in-law will definitely behead Lu Bu and eradicate the remnants of the Bingzhou army. From then on, my father-in-law can naturally enjoy his old age with peace of mind."

"If Lu Bu is dead, I'm afraid that the person in charge of the world will be you, Li Wenchang! Are we right?" Dong Zhuo suddenly widened his eyes, stared at Li Li, and said in a deep voice.

After Li Li heard the words, his expression changed drastically, his sword eyebrows moved slightly in astonishment, his tiger eyes looked at Dong Zhuo without fear, and he didn't speak.

After looking at each other for a while, Li Li whispered quietly: "Xiangguo is Li's father-in-law, no matter what, the son-in-law will not harm his life."

After Dong Zhuo heard the words, he looked at Li Li with a complicated expression, and then at Dong Wan standing behind Li Li.Immediately, he nodded slightly, and said to Dong Wan: "Wan'er, you married a good man, no matter what happens in the future, you will follow your man wholeheartedly. You are his man in life, and his ghost in death! It is what my father expects from you. In addition, my father has prepared a dowry for you. The gift list has been delivered, but the things have not been delivered to your man. Tomorrow I will send someone directly to Dongyang Valley camp. It's [-] sets, and now I will add another [-] sets for you as a father, a total of [-] sets of heavy cavalry armor and weapons. Li Li, take good care of Wan'er in the future, as long as you treat her well, you will give me heavy armor Other than that, I didn’t reward you or help you with anything before you made your fortune. So? You don’t owe me anything. Life is too short, how can you look forward and backward? Go back, I’m tired too .”

After speaking, Dong Zhuo got up abruptly and walked towards the side door of the main hall.His figure was still bloated, his back was slightly bent, and his steps were staggering, leaving Li Li and Dong Wan's sight step by step.

Chapter 248

The moon is half curved, and the galaxy is bright.

Situ Mansion, the backyard.

"Bi'er, is the banquet in the lobby over?" Wang Ying, oh no, it should be Diao Chan standing in front of the window, looking up at the starry river, and asked softly.

Hearing the question at the first glance, a maidservant with the same exquisite and graceful figure walked up behind Diao Chan, and said softly: "Miss, do you want to ask if Dong Zhuo has left? The old thief Dong has already left, and the banquet has also been withdrawn." It's been an hour."

"Oh, why did Dong Zhuo leave so early today? Two days ago, he had to wait until late at night every day before leaving. Today is a bit strange." Diao Chan said slightly surprised.

Maid Bi'er smiled lightly and said: "Miss, when I went to check just now, I heard from the servants that General Xiaoqi Li Li accompanied the newlywed wife Dong Wan back to her mother's house tonight, and was waiting for Dong Zhuo in the lobby of Grand Master's Mansion. So, Dong Only old thieves will rush to end the banquet, get in the car and drive back to see their daughter and son-in-law."

"Really? So Dong Zhuo thinks highly of Li Li, even more than his adoptive son Lu Bu?" Diao Chan whispered uncertainly.

Bi'er nodded heavily and said: "Isn't that right? The servant heard from the master that Dong Zhuo spent a lot of effort to marry Dong Wan to General Li Li. At that time, Dong Zhuo directly ordered his daughter Dong Wan to be married to General Li Li. Wan married General Xiaoqi, but Li Li didn't agree, and rejected Dong Zhuo's kindness. Dong Zhuo was so angry that he threatened General Xiaoqi directly, claiming that if General Li refused to agree to the marriage, he would pay 40 yuan. The Liang army attacked General Li's Wuwei army. Unexpectedly, General Li retorted on the spot: I, Li Li, was born with a strong bone. I have fought hundreds of times on the battlefield. Why should I be afraid of death? The Wuwei army is willing to teach the soldiers of the Xiliang army! Are you brave enough?"

"Hehehe! You girl knows how to be tricky, so hurry up and tell me. Then why did Li Li agree to marry Dong Wan?" Diao Chan turned to look at Bi'er with a smile on her face, and asked expectantly.

Bi'er smiled and said, "Later, Dong Zhuo felt helpless when he saw that General Li would rather give up than surrender, so he started with General Li Li's uncle, General Li Jue, and General Li Jue agreed to the marriage. For one thing, both of General Li Li's parents died, and General Li Jue brought him up in his early years. Naturally, he couldn't deny General Li Li face in front of all the court officials. It's just that General Li Li didn't compromise on this. He raised three conditions to Dong Zhuo. The servant did not know what the three conditions were, but he knew what they meant.

It means that Dong Zhuo insists on marrying a daughter, but Dong Wan is a member of the Li family after marrying into Longxiang Li's mansion, and has nothing to do with the Dong family; Li Li will not climb up the Dong family because of this.Don't need any help from Dong Zhuo, and don't accept Dong Zhuo's reward.He will not be transferred to Chang'an as an official.I would rather stay in the bitter cold of Liangzhou and guard the border.Also, General Li Li said that if one day Dong Zhuo and the Dong family suffered a catastrophe, he would keep a trace of the Dong family's blood and would not let the Dong family lose their incense, so as to repay Dong Zhuo's kindness in marrying a daughter to him.In the end, Dong Zhuo agreed to General Li Li's three conditions.So this marriage is done. "

It was the first time Diao Chan heard about this matter, and no one had ever mentioned the outside affairs to her before, and she was also considered a lady of the family who completely kept her ears to the outside world.

Diao Chan was silent for a long time after hearing the whole thing.Her beautiful and holy face can compete with the bright moon.His eyes, which are as clear as water, are more radiant than the stars in the sky, and his tranquil expression reveals the light of wisdom.

After a long while, Diao Chan's brows showed a look of yearning, and she sighed softly: "In this way, Li Li is also a kind and righteous person. He is not afraid of power and dares to confront Dong Zhuo. Husband, what a hero!"

"Hush! Miss, don't let the master hear what you said, otherwise he will be furious. The master doesn't like anyone who mentions General Li Li's name. Once he finds out who is talking behind his back, it will be miserable." Yes, the skin and flesh blooming is considered light, but if it is serious, you will be driven out of the mansion." Bi'er looked out the window cautiously, and said softly.

After Diao Chan heard the words, her heart suddenly became melancholy, her smiling face disappeared in an instant, her brows were furrowed, and she was depressed.

"Miss, don't be so sullen, I feel uncomfortable watching this." Bi'er persuaded with a sad face.

Diao Chan stretched out his hand to gently wipe the tears from the corners of Bi'er's eyes, smiled miserably, and said quietly: "Bi'er, you will leave Situ's Mansion tomorrow and find a good man to marry. You look handsome and have a figure that even my sister envies. Find a good husband who loves you! My sister’s life is ruined. Earlier, my father begged me to marry Lu Bu, and now he wants me to bow down to serve Dong Zhuo, the national traitor. Only when I succeed is the day when I, Wang Ying, dies. My father worked hard He has raised me for 17 years, but now he pushes me into the bottomless abyss with his own hands. No matter, the parents who suffer from my body, hair and skin, I will use my life to save the great Han country!"

"Woooo! Sister Ying, why did the master treat you like this? You are his biological daughter!" Bi'er held onto Diao Chan's shoulders and sobbed in pain.

Diao Chan had tears in her eyes, but she managed to hold back the tears and did not cry.She said in a resentful tone: "Yes, I am my father's biological daughter. But in his eyes, only Jiangshan Sheji, others are insignificant, and he didn't take my daughter seriously. In the past, sister Hongchang was in the house. He tried his best to use her, and Hongchang ran away from home in a fit of anger. Now that Hongchang is gone, she has found a home that her sister envied, but her sister is going to follow in Hongchang's footsteps and save the country and the country for her father dream."

Bi'er cried tearfully: "Miss is born beautiful, with a beauty that can overwhelm the country and the city. She has a god-given face and is in her prime. How can she bow down to serve Dong Zhuo's fat pig? What does Jiangshan Sheji have to do with Miss, there are so many in the world today. Heroic princes, can they all be defeated by Dong Zhuo? Why is he so cruel? Huh, huh?"

After Diao Chan heard Bi'er's words, tears flowed uncontrollably, sliding down her tall nostrils.She said with grief and indignation: "No, Dong Zhuo is not terrible. Not to mention the princes of the world, even in Chang'an City, there are people who are not afraid of Dong Zhuo, the old thief. But he will not help me escape from the devil's den, and even half of me will suffer from this catastrophe. The reason is thanks to him. If he hadn’t contributed to the incident and robbed Hongchang, maybe my sister and I would not have devoted ourselves to the country’s thieves, and I would have been able to spend my life in peace and stability.”

"Miss, who is this person? This servant is going to beg him for Miss, and I will go right away, as long as he can save Miss from suffering, this servant is willing to serve him as a slave!" Bi'er said urgently.
