The mansion of the doctor, backyard.

In the pavilion, Li Ruzheng and Niu Fu had a drink.

Niu Fu looked comfortable, picked up a piece of tofu and sent it into his mouth, swallowed it with a slight sound, and said with an intoxicating expression, "Wenyou, I have to say that the dishes created by Wang Lei are delicious. You see, this simple and ordinary tofu actually tastes like this, which is a miracle. It is not an exaggeration to describe it as a magical skill. The tofu we used to taste tasteless, and there is no such thing as the color, fragrance and smell of the present. This kid is still a great poet and a great calligrapher. How does his head grow?"

Li Ru snorted and said, "Don't be more ambitious than others, destroy your own prestige."

Niu Fu said: "Where do I have it? This cooking skill is indeed good."

Li Ru snorted and said, "Wang Lei's head is very smart, but he has ulterior motives. His cooking skills have pleased the prime minister and those old ministers who are ill-hearted, and they are all good at everything. Do you think it is good for us?"

Niu Fu chewed his mouth, swallowed the pork trotters, spit out the bones, and said, "I don't have the ability to do it, nor do you have the intention to take care of it. Anyway, I think it's better to eat it, and my life will be more comfortable in the future."

Li Ru shook his head, picked up the wine bottle helplessly, raised his head and drank it all.

Both of them are Dong Zhuo's son-in-law, but their status is different.

Li Ru is Dong Zhuo's right-hand man, and he has great power in his hand. If he stomps his feet, Chang'an will be in an earthquake. However, Niu Fu is just a general stationed at the checkpoint. He only returns to Chang'an occasionally, and his power is far inferior to Li Ru.

The two of them were eating, drinking, and chatting.

Niu Fu saw Li Ru’s frowning and knew that this guy would definitely want to kill Wang Lei.

Unfortunately, Wang Lei was not jealous either.

Niu Fu thought for a while and said, "Wenyou, I think this is caused by you. When Wang Lei stayed in Jizhou, he wouldn't have come to Chang'an. It was you who kept instigating the Prime Minister to transfer Wang Lei to Chang'an. Now, Wang Lei has been doing well in Chang'an, becoming a climate and becoming famous all over the world. You also think that Wang Lei is a disaster in Chang'an. If you had known this, you shouldn't have let Wang Lei come!"

Li Ru's mouth twitched. Is he shooting himself in the foot?

But there is no medicine for regret in this world! Li Ru thought about it, widened his eyes and asked, "Niu Fu, what did you say in the last sentence just now?"

Niu Fu was stunned, not understanding what Li Ru was going to do? Seeing Li Ru's serious appearance, Niu Fu said: "I said you had known this if you knew it, you shouldn't have let Wang Lei come to Chang'an at the beginning."

"Hahaha……"

Suddenly, Li Ru laughed loudly.

The laughter came into Niu Fu's ears, making Niu Fu's heart soared.

This guy shouldn't be crazy about gaining and losing his heart!

Seeing Li Ru's eyes narrowed into a line, Niu Fu knew that Li Ru had bad intentions again, and this time, Wang Lei was probably going to suffer. However, Niu Fu still disagreed with Li Ru and said to himself: "Li Ru is really pitiful. He is wholeheartedly planning for the prime minister, and he is thankless. He is still so comfortable, so why are he doing so many things!"

Li Ru bowed and said, "I have to go to the dock, you can eat it yourself."

Niu Fu rolled his eyes and Li Ru left. He ate alone without taste. After taking a few bites, he also got up and left Li Ru's mansion. Li Ru changed into a set of clothes and rushed to the dock directly.

After arriving at the dock, Li Ru, led by soldiers, came to the study.

Dong Zhuo asked: "Wenyou, is there anything wrong?"

Li Ru said with a humble expression and respectfully: "Reporting to the Prime Minister, there is indeed something. Yesterday morning, Sun Ce from Jiangdong sent an envoy to Chang'an to pay homage to the Prime Minister."

Dong Zhuo raised his eyebrows and asked, "For what?"

Li Ru replied: "Sun Ce wants to seek the position of the prefect of Wujun, and at the same time, he wants to marry the daughter of the prime minister."

Dong Zhuo frowned and said, "This Sun Ce is Sun Jian's son. In the past, when we met Sun Jian, we were a talented person. We took the initiative to win over Sun Jian and wanted to marry his daughter to Sun Jian's son, but unfortunately Sun Jian refused directly. Now, Sun Ce took the initiative to seek his daughter, probably because he was the prefect of Wujun."

Li Ru nodded and replied: "The prime minister is wise and humble, he also believes that Sun Ce is for the position of prefect of Wu County. However, if the prime minister can win over Sun Ce, it is worth it. Sun Ce and Yuan Shu are next to each other and are adjacent to Liu Biao in Jingzhou. If Sun Ce rises in Wu County, he will definitely be able to restrain Yuan Shu and Liu Biao. Then Liu Bei seized the jade seal of the kingdom and was even more of Sun Ce's murderous enemy. Now that Liu Bei controls Runan, he has gradually become a powerful force and is difficult to control. As long as Sun Ce's strength develops, the south will definitely restrain each other, and the prime minister will be in a state of peace and worry."

Dong Zhuo's eyes lit up and he couldn't help but nod and praise him.

This analysis is not bad!

After thinking about it carefully, Dong Zhuo said, "Your advice is very good. After Sun Ce rises, you can indeed balance the situation in the south. Then Liu Bei claims to be a bullshit royal family member, and he is annoyed. It's not bad that Sun Ce is thinking about Liu Bei. I have agreed to this matter. You reply to Sun Ce's envoy and prepare to marry his true daughter."

Li Ru said again: "The way to Jiangdong is probably not peaceful. Cao Cao, Liu Bei, Yuan Shu, and Liu Biao will not sit idly by and watch the Prime Minister and Sun Ce marry each other."

Dong Zhuo said impatiently: "Tell me directly, what's your idea?"

Li Ru said: "Since you want to marry, you must succeed. When the mission went to Jiangdong, Beizhi suggested to send Lu Bu and Wang Lei to protect him. With Lu Bu and Wang Lei there, there are three benefits."

"First, Lu Bu and Wang Lei are both top-notch military generals in the world, with superb martial arts skills. They lead their troops to Jiangdong and pass through the sphere of influence of various princes. They will surely strengthen the reputation of the Western Liang army, so that the princes in the world will not dare to underestimate the prime minister."

"Second, Lu Bu and Wang Lei lead troops to escort him. After arriving in Wujun, they can also give Sun Ce a strong momentum, so that the strength around Wujun dare not underestimate Sun Ce and ensure that Sun Ce rises quickly."

"Third, our strength is strong, and after Sun Ce sees it, he dare not look down on the person he married."

Li Ru talked freely and analyzed it well.

"I'm sure about this matter and marry Sun Ce." Dong Zhuo smiled and said, "One of the daughters of the original figure, Dong Yu is sixteen years old this year, and she is at the age of getting married. Dong Yu is married."

"Abide by the order!"

Li Ru bowed and replied, "Prime Minister, I will immediately bring Sun Ce's envoy Zhu Zhi to the dock."

Dong Zhuo shook his head and said, "No, you can arrange it directly."

"Please rest assured, the position of humbleness must be arranged properly." Li Ru's smile appeared on the corner of his mouth and he respectfully withdrew from the study. After leaving the dock, Li Ru returned to the mansion and arranged for someone to convey the news.

Zhu Zhi was ecstatic when he got the news.

Unexpectedly, I completed this mission directly.

On the way to Chang'an, Zhu Zhi thought it would be difficult to move forward, but he did not expect that Li Ru would fully support him and it would be so smooth. Zhu Zhi walked to Li Ru's residence again, met Li Ru, discussed it, and returned to his residence to wait.

Wang Lei’s mansion, study room.

After the news came, Wang Lei looked solemn. He did not expect such an order. As the governor of Jizhou, he served as the deputy envoy of the mission to go to Jiangdong. What does this mean? He is not an official in the court, and it is ridiculous to escort Dong Zhuo's daughter to get married!
