Chapter 331
"Dong!Dong!"
A gentle knock on the door suddenly rang out of the room. When Wang Lei heard the knock on the door, he recovered from his thoughts and said, "Come in!"
Immediately, the door opened and Shi Amai walked in.
After sitting down, Shi A said respectfully: "I have already found out the whole story of the matter. Since Zhu Zhi visited you, he has never left the mansion. Instead, Li Ru went to the Wu to pay homage to Dong Zhuo. According to the news sent back in the Wu, after Li Ru met Dong Zhuo, he suggested that Dong Zhuo and Sun Ce marry each other, and proposed that Lu Bu and the lord serve as the chief and deputy envoys to escort Dong Yu to Jiangdong."
"It's indeed Li Ru!"
Wang Lei's heart sank, and a murderous intent emerged in his eyes.
After receiving the news, Wang Lei was suspicious.
In terms of official positions, Wang Lei was the governor of Jizhou. The superficial reason for coming to Chang'an was to be ordered by the emperor. Now Dong Zhuo asked him to escort his daughter Dong Yu to Qu'a, which is completely unreasonable. Jizhou's governor escorts Dong Zhuo's daughter to go south, and this show is even better than the emperor marrying a daughter. Only Li Ru can come up with such a scruple who wants to deal with Wang Lei at this moment.
Shi A said: "Lord, Li Ru is targeting you everywhere, so I will just take action and kill Li Ru. As long as Li Ru is killed, you will not have any threats, and Dong Zhuo will also cut off his arm."
Wang Lei shook his head and said, "No, it's not yet assassinated."
"But, Li Ru repeatedly used ruthless moves to deal with the lord, which was really hateful." Shi A's eyes were full of murderous intentions. He was already loyal to Wang Lei, so he naturally thought about Wang Lei everywhere.
Anyone who threatens Wang Lei is Shi's enemy.
Wang Lei said: "Until the end, you cannot use assassination methods. After all, this is Chang'an and Dong Zhuo's nest. Once clues are found in the assassination, we will all be in danger. We will talk about this later."
Shi A nodded and said, "I understand!"
After a pause, Shi A asked, "What are the lords going to do?"
"Dong!Dong!!"
A knock on the door sounded again outside the room: "Sir, Wang Situ asks you to come to the mansion."
Wang Lei said, "I understand, I will go there later."
After the attendant left, Wang Lei looked at Shi A and said, "We have received the news from the wu period. With Wang Yun's source, we must have also received the news. He invited me to come over, and it must be the matter of escorting Dong Yu to Qu A. I will first find out about Wang Yun's situation and then make a decision."
After saying that, Wang Lei got up and left.
After leaving the mansion in a carriage, Wang Lei headed straight to Situ's Mansion.
When they arrived at the mansion, Wang Yun, Yang Biao, and Huangfu Song had arrived. The eyes on the faces of these old ministers were very serious and their expressions were grim, as if they had encountered great difficulties.
Wang Lei walked into the hall, and Wang Yun hurriedly called Wang Lei to sit down.
Wang Yun had a worried expression on his wrinkled face and said, "Zigu, you must not agree to this trip to escort Dong Yu to Qu'a. We have already discussed that it is definitely dangerous for you to go to Qu'a this trip. The best choice is not to go and reject Dong Zhuo's order."
Wang Lei asked: "Situ, why do you say that?"
Wang Yun sighed lightly: "The suggestion was proposed by Li Ru. With Li Ru's character targeting you everywhere, can he be kind to you? Dong Zhuo's daughter is very ordinary, and he just needs to send an ordinary general to escort it, and there is no need for Lu Bu to be with you. However, Li Ru brought you and Lu Bu with him clearly because of ulterior motives. Once Li Ru tampered with you halfway and asked someone to intercept and kill him halfway or set up an ambush halfway, you will be in crisis."
Yang Biao nodded and said, "My teacher's words are reasonable. This is Li Ru's conspiracy. No matter what, he cannot go. Even if he risked offending Dong Zhuo, he could not go."
Huangfu Song sat upright and said in a stern manner: "With your current reputation, you can be called a famous scholar in the country. Even if you refuse Dong Zhuo's orders, Dong Zhuo cannot do anything to you. As long as you save your life, it doesn't matter."
One by one, everyone suggested that Wang Lei refuse.
However, Wang Lei had another thought in his mind.
After thinking for a while, Wang Lei shook his head and said, "If I don't go to Qu'a, Dong Zhuo will definitely be furious. Li Ru's relationship between me and Dong Zhuo will be successful. The previous relationship between me and Li Ru has caused a gap between them. If I give up now, my previous efforts will be in vain. If I want to destroy the relationship between Dong Zhuo and Li Ru, it will be impossible."
Wang Yun said: "No matter what, it's better than being killed."
Wang Lei looked firm and still unmoved: "To deal with Dong Zhuo, you cannot refuse Dong Zhuo's orders, otherwise your previous efforts will be a failure." After a pause, Wang Lei continued: "There is no big problem this time to Jiangdong. As long as you pay a little attention, there will be no danger. Moreover, not only I went there alone, but also Lu Bu's accompanying him. Lu Bu's martial arts are invincible in the world, which can ensure my safety."
Wang Yun said stubbornly: "Zigu, don't show off. You are still young and have a bright future. Don't rush to kill Dong Zhuo. If you make a mistake, the Jizhou turmoil will have a greater impact, and it will not be worth the loss for us."
Wang Lei said: "Don't worry, Situ, there is no problem."
After one person persuaded him one after another, Wang Lei insisted that Qingshan would not relax.
Everyone had no choice but to agree.
In fact, Wang Lei had already thought about it carefully before he decided to go to Qu'a. This trip to Qua in Jiangdong was not just a bad thing for Wang Lei, but also a benefit.
In addition, temporarily leaving Chang'an, the whirlpool of power, will also be beneficial to Wang Lei.
After convinced Wang Yun and others, Wang Lei left Situ Mansion.
Next, Wang Lei walked another dock.
Dong Zhuo met Wang Lei in the hall. After seeing Wang Lei, he smiled and smiled kindly: "Zigu, this trip to Jiangdong, Yu'er's safety will be left to you. At the same time, you have to help me test Sun Ce. If he is not honest, you can beat me and make me obedient."
Wang Lei clasped his fists and said, "Don't worry, the prime minister is in a humble position, and the mission will definitely arrive safely."
Dong Zhuo nodded repeatedly and talked to Wang Lei for a while.
Wang Lei only returned to his residence after leaving the dock.
The next day, Wang Lei received the time from Li Ru. According to Li Ru, it is advisable to travel on June 18th, and the delegation will go south to Qu'a. Wang Lei did not have the heart to consider going south because there was no preparation for this trip to Qu'a, and the only thing to arrange is the matter in Chang'an. Wang Lei was busy every day and arranged various things.
Time is fast, and June 18th is already in a flash.
On this day, carriages were parked at the gate of the dock, like a long dragon. Around the carriage, there was a team of elite soldiers protecting them, each of which was mighty and majestic.
On the Wucheng Tower, Dong Zhuo looked down with his eyes calm.
"Set off!"
A loud voice came from the downstairs.
As the sound fell, two tall horses ran out first at the front of the convoy. The two horses carried two burly people, one was Lu Bu and the other was Wang Lei. The two and Zhu Zhi escorted Dong Yu south. Following Wang Lei were also soldiers from the Fifty Cavalry and Flying Tiger Camp, and Dian Wei, who protected Wang Lei.
The delegation drove out of the dock in a mighty manner, and after leaving Chang'an, they headed south all the way.
