A sudden incident broke out. Dong Zhuo was worthy of being the leader of the banditry. The moment he was suddenly attacked, he raised the case and hid at the entrance of the hall. Before Wang Yun knew what happened, Dong Zhuo shouted: "My son, what are you going to do?"

"Don't take him down yet!"

Dong Zhuo pulled out the halberd from the soldier's waist with his backhand and threw it towards Lu Bu. Lu Bu flashed past in the chaos and reached out several times to catch Diao Chan, but Dong Zhuo blocked Diao Chan. In just a short moment, the soldiers were surrounded

Come up and protect Dong Zhuo and Diao Chan.

Lu Bu stood in the middle of the flower hall, his handsome face flushed red, and he could hardly believe what he had just heard.

"You... you..."

Dong Zhuo said angrily: "Discourteous! What do you want to do?!"

Dong Zhuo was so angry that the sound made the roof beams rustle. Lu Bu looked at Diao Chan blankly, and then at Wang Yun.

Dong Zhuo's accumulated power made Lu Bu's knees tremble slightly, as if he wanted to kneel, but he couldn't decide whether he should kneel or not.

Diao Chan sobbed softly and leaned on Dong Zhuo's shoulder.

The hall was silent except for Diao Chan's intermittent sobs. Lu Bu came back to his senses. His feelings of being teased and deceived turned into a rage, and he shouted irrationally: "Diao Chan! Why did you lie to me——!"

Even though Wang Yun was resourceful, he never expected such a scene. Kankan had sorted out his clues, but he didn't know how to deal with it next, so he had to wink at Diao Chan. Diao Chan understood and burst into tears with a "Wow"

, hid his face and ran out of the hall, heading towards the west wing.

Lu Bu's hands and feet were cold, and he realized what he had done, but his mind was blank. Dong Zhuo left Situ's mansion with a cold face, without saying a word.

Wang Yun suddenly burst into tears, wiped his nose, raised his lapels and knelt down in front of Lu Bu, wailing: "It's my fault! It's all my fault——"

Lu Bu: "..."

Qilin was still outside the hole at the back of the hall, admiring the good show that he had personally brought about.

"This is what Wang Situ has thought about a long time ago." Qilin whispered to Cai Wenji.

Lu Bu was quiet for a long time. The room was in a mess, with cups and plates scattered around. Wang Yun still burst into tears and said sadly: "It's all my phlegm that has confused my mind..."

Lu Bu ignored Wang Yun and said indifferently: "Qilin, let's go."

"No riding."

Lu Bu felt so depressed that he could hardly breathe, so he hastily removed his breastplate, threw it to Qilin, and walked alone on the streets of Chang'an.

Qilin took the breastplate, put it on himself casually, and put his hands into the leather armor pockets, which was a bit nondescript. Qilin, Gao Shun, and Zhang Liao followed Lu Bu all the way, and no one said a word.

"I discussed your marriage with Chen Gong this morning. Brother Gongtai felt that something was wrong. I also heard that Dong Zhuo went to Situ Mansion for a drink at the invitation of Wang Yun after he resigned from the court..."

Lu Bu said: "Oh."

Qilin asked: "What are you going to do, my lord? Is this marriage going to happen?"

That question seemed to sprinkle a handful of salt on Lu Bu's wounds. Lu Bu stood there and asked sadly: "What else can be done?"

Qilin secretly said that although he did not set up this plan, he still had a hand in following it, but it was too sinful, so he did not dare to say more.

Lu Bu suddenly said: "Fortunately, you guys are more cautious."

Qilin said: "It's nothing, but you have to solve it, right? You bumped into Dong Zhuo, after all..."

Lu Bu pondered for a moment and said, "I will go into the palace to apologize."

Qilin said: "I will accompany you."

Lu Bu shook his head and said, "You ride back."

The implication was that Qilin was not allowed to say anything and walked directly towards Yongle Palace.

In the afternoon of that day, Qilin returned to the Hou Mansion. Zhang Liao and Gao Shun blamed Wang Yun one-sidedly, quite gloating about the failure of the marriage. Only Chen Gong was cautious and asked: "When do you plan to hand over the secret edict to the lord?"

Qilin said: "It's not time yet, let's see again in a few days."

Chen Gongdao: "If you want to make a move, you need to be quick. The Seventeenth Alliance of the Dukes to Defeat Dong has arrived in Chencang. Sun Jian, the governor of Jiangdong, and Yuan Shao, the leader of the alliance, will approach Chang'an soon. You know."

Qilin understood what Chen Gong meant: "I understand, it is the time to use generals, and Dong Zhuo will soon send Lu Bu to the battlefield."

Chen Gong nodded slightly, stood up and left. The implication of his words was clear: if Lu Bu leads the army again, the conflict will change qualitatively. I am afraid that if Lu Bu leads the army to conquer for ten and a half days, the city of Chang'an will be a different scene.

Qilin assumed the responsibility of the chief adviser and did not realize it at first. However, once the situation developed to the point of tit-for-tat, there were too many variables. It was necessary to be forward-looking and follow-up, but also to be watertight. If one step was missing, the whole game would be lost.

As soon as Lü Bu entered the palace, it was from noon to Xu hour. When he came back, it was completely dark. Qilin sent people to investigate one after another throughout the afternoon and learned that Lü Bu had been kneeling in front of Weiyang Hall, but Dong Zhuo had not yet seen him.

Qilin said: "Come back, have you eaten?"

Lu Bu didn't answer, and couldn't see his face clearly in the night. He entered the hall, and there was a loud ping-pong-pong sound, and Qilin ran out holding his head.

Cases were flying around the hall, Lu Bu's anger was on the verge of collapse, Gao Shun and Zhang Liao's expressions changed, and even Chen Gong hurriedly put on his long gown and ran out barefoot.

Qilin asked: "Has he always been like this before?"

Lu Bu's painful roar came out, and several of his close followers were shocked. Gao Shun followed Lu Bu for the longest time, and sighed: "There was only one time before, that night Ding originally hosted a banquet to invite the lord to drink, and it was like this after he came back..."

Zhang Liao said: "It's burning! Go get water quickly!"

Lu Bu was filled with grief and anger and smashed the screen decorations to pieces. The oil lamps were overturned in the mess on the floor. The oil ignited when it touched the cloth and burned straight up along the curtain.

"Lord, be careful!"

"General, come out quickly!"

Soldiers outside the mansion poured in one after another, each going to fetch water. Fortunately, several people from Qilin were guarding him. When they saw something was wrong, they carried buckets and poured water. Qilin ordered: "Hold the master first!"

"Ah——!" Lu Bu beat him like crazy.

Qilin said: "That's enough!"

Lu Bu was still going crazy, so Qilin decisively raised his hand and poured a bucket of water towards Lu Bu.

With a crash, the small fire was extinguished. Lu Bu was given a bucket of cold water and fell silent.

Qilin was still afraid that Lu Bu would not wake up, so he threw the barrel out and hit the top with the barrel with a "dong" sound, knocking Lu Bu staggering.

Lu Bu: "..."

Qilin said: "Everyone, please go out. Brother Gao will heat up the prepared food. The descendants of Wenyuan will prepare some hot water for the lord to take a bath."

Lu Bu touched the bag on his head, leaned his back against the pillar, and sat down tiredly.

The room was dark, all the lights were out, and the ground was covered with frost and moon.

Lu Bu's tall figure curled up and leaned against the pillar.

Qilin picked up the broken porcelain on the ground, sat next to Lu Bu, stretched out his hand to rub Lu Bu's sandy knees, and asked, "How long have you been kneeling?"

Lu Bu said: "Five hours."

For a full ten hours, Qilin thought to himself that this guy had really good physical strength.

"What did Dong Zhuo say?"

Lu Bu didn't answer, there was water in his eyes shining slightly.

"I didn't say it." Lu Bu said stubbornly.

Qilin said: "What do you have to hide from me?"

Lu Bu closed his eyes and seemed to be reminiscing, and after a long time he said: "Ding Yuan is like this, Dong Thief is like this, Diao Chan is like this, people in this world are all cunning."

"They are all cunning." Lu Bu looked into Qilin's eyes, and there were signs of impulsiveness. He shouted at Qilin: "They are all cunning!"

He stretched out his hand to grab Qilin's collar, but Qilin just let him grab it without struggling, saying, "Don't be impulsive. Diao Chan probably really likes you, but Wang Yun... wants to use your hand to kill Thief Dong."

Qilin finally saw the opportunity and explained Wang Yun's serial plan in detail.

Qilin finally concluded: "According to Wang Yun's original intention, he just wants to use Diao Chan to drive a wedge between you and Dong Zhuo, and then make you unbearable and take action."

Lu Bu let go of his hand and frowned: "You knew about this earlier? Why did you hide it from me?"

Qilin said: "Brother Gongtai and I have guessed it... Don't get angry about hiding something from you. No one dares to tell it in advance... Besides, no matter what I said at that time, you couldn't listen."

Lu Bu said indifferently: "Not necessarily."

Qilin smiled and stood up to call Zhang Liao. The water was already boiling. Lu Bu took off his shirt and Qilin personally took care of him and took a bath.

Qilin's status is unique and independent. He is said to be the chief of the army and has never joined the army to serve the general in bathing. However, Qilin is very self-conscious and has always taken the initiative to take care of matters that concern Lu Bu.

Qilin put his hands on Lu Bu's shoulders, and Lu Bu asked, "What are you holding on to?"

Kirin has a tattoo on each of his left and right hands. The left hand is golden and the right hand is black. The golden tattoo is in the shape of a sword, and the black tattoo on the tiger's mouth of the right hand is a wisp of flame.

"The left hand is called Xuanyuan Sword Qi. Those who get the Xuanyuan Sword Qi can command the world." Qilin replied: "The right hand is called 'Wu', and it is a magic weapon of the immortal family."

This was not the first time Lu Bu asked, but the answer he got this time was still unbelievable, and he only regarded it as a joke.

"Win the world." Lu Bu said indifferently.

Qilin said leisurely: "If we win the world, we will lose her——"

Lu Bu: "..."

Qilin smiled and said, "Didn't Thief Dong ask you to go on an expedition?"

Lu Bu said: "Since you know everything, why do you need to ask me?"

Qilin said: "Chen Gong guessed it, but I don't know anything. The Kwantung Army is about to attack Chang'an. At this time, Dong Zhuo doesn't dare to fall out with you, and he doesn't want to return Diao Chan to you..."

Lu Bu said: "Don't mention her again."

Qilin continued: "I have no choice but to send you to fight, right?"

Lu Bu was quiet for a long time and then said: "Have you prepared the betrothal gift of one hundred taels of gold? Where is it?"

Qilin didn't know what Lu Bu meant, so he replied: "We've prepared everything. We're at Brother Gao's place. Why? Are you going to propose marriage?"

Lu Bu said: "Master Marquis will go on an expedition tomorrow. Go get the gold and divide it with Gao Shun and Zhang Wenyuan. Then Chen Gongtai will also get some. You can disperse and go find a living."

"Youth loss fee?!"
