Chapter 402 The Wheel of History
Meiwu.Prince's Mansion.
Dong Zhuo sat high above, leaning on the table with his elbows and supporting his jaw. His huge body leaned forward slightly. He grinned and showed a mouthful of white teeth. He smiled deeply. He listened carefully to Wang Lei's story about the process of going south. After listening, Dong Zhuo couldn't help but nodded repeatedly and praised: "No. Not bad. You and Lu Bu did a good job."
Wang Lei said: "The Prime Minister praised it. Thanks to General Lu's assistance throughout the journey."
Lu Bu clasped his fists and said, "Thank you for the praise of the prime minister."
Dong Zhuo smiled slightly and continued, "Although Yuan Shu was unstable, he was still quite conscious. If Yuan Shu didn't know the appearance, the original minister would definitely send troops to attack Yuan Shu. The small Nanyang County was turned over and you could take it down. The hateful thing was Liu Bei. This guy was ungrateful. Hum. My minister remembered him. If he had the chance, he would definitely eliminate this person... Hum. Even Yuan Shao was not willing to be lonely. It was really hateful. This ungrateful wolf who was not well-kept."
Wang Lei continued: "This time I can return smoothly. It all depends on the reputation of the prime minister."
Dong Zhuo laughed loudly, and a hint of pride appeared in his eyes.
Immediately, Dong Zhuo looked nervous and asked, "How did Sun Ce treat Yu'er?"
Wang Lei's face showed an admiration and said calmly: "Miss Yu is worthy of being the daughter of the prime minister. After marrying Sun Ce, he has won the love of Sun Ce's mother, Mrs. Wu, in a short time. Sun Ce even held it in his palm and was afraid of falling. Made Yu and Sun Ce are harmonious and must be a happy marriage. The couple are in love."
These words made Dong Zhuo even more happy. Dong Zhuo was happy and praised Lu Bu, Wang Lei, and other people who accompanied him waved his hand and ordered: "You have worked hard to travel through mountains and rivers all the way. Go and rest."
Wang Lei, Lu Bu and others surrendered and returned to their respective residences.
...
The residence of the doctor and study room.
Li Ru was wearing a loose black robe and sat upright. In front of Li Ru, a soldier stood in front of him. The soldier looked respectful and reported in a scattered manner: "Wang Lei and Lu Bu and his group returned to Chang'an successfully. They had already gone to Meiwu to meet the prime minister. According to the news from Meiwu, Wang Lei was intercepted and killed on the way to Qu'a. But he still came back safely."
Li Ru narrowed his eyes slightly and said coldly: "He is still coming back safely. The sky is forever Wang Lei."
There was a strong regret in his tone. Li Ru asked Wang Lei to escort Dong Yu to Qu'a. On the one hand, he wanted to help Wang Lei away to avoid Wang Lei's troubles in Chang'an; on the other hand, he also wanted to use a knife to kill people and get rid of Wang Lei's threat.
Unfortunately, Wang Lei returned to Chang'an safely.
"Go down. I get it."
Li Ru waved his hand and the soldier withdrew respectfully. Li Ru shook his sleeves and his eyes suddenly became sharp: "Wang Lei, Wang Lei. It's really not easy to deal with you. It seems that I have to make a long-term plan again."
...
Wang Lei’s residence. Pang Degong, Sima Hui, Huang Chengyan and others arrived in Chang'an and rested in Chang'an for the time being.
Gan Ning, Zhou Tai, Huang Zhong and others also moved into the residence.
As for the nearly a thousand soldiers under his command, they did not enter the city and stationed outside the city. Shi A personally settled all the people and then came to Wang Lei's room and saluted respectfully: "Lord."
"Sit." Wang Lei waved his hand.
After Shi A sat down, Wang Lei said: "What happened during the period of time left Chang'an."
Shi A said without hesitation: "Didn't have big things happen in Chang'an during the period when the lord left, and some small things happened. Li Ru used this period to arrange close friends, exclude political enemies, and dismissed many officials loyal to the emperor. Now the court is full of Dong Zhuo's confidants. In addition, there is one thing related to Lu Bu."
Wang Lei said: "Lu Bu and I went south and didn't stay in Chang'an. Why did they have something to do with him?"
Shi Ah smiled and said, "Actually, it doesn't matter."
Wang Lei was dizzy and said, "What's going on? Explain it clearly."
Shi A said: "This matter is mainly related to Wang Yun's adopted daughter Diao Chan. When the lord and Lu Bu were in Chang'an, Lu Bu liked Diao Chan and looked like he wanted to marry Diao Chan. Just a month before the lord and Lu Bu returned to Chang'an, Wang Yun invited Dong Zhuo to the Situ Mansion for a banquet. Not long after, Diao Chan was sent to Meiwu. Now he is Dong Zhuo's woman."
A shocked expression appeared on Wang Lei's face and his eyes were solemn.
He came to this era and changed many things. Unexpectedly, the wheel of history still came to this point. Wang Yun still sent Diao Chan to Dong Zhuo when Lu Bu left Chang'an.
Lu Bu likes Diao Chan. Wang Lei had long understood that on the way to Qu'a, when the two chatted, Lu Bu often mentioned Diao Chan. His likeness was beyond words. Now Diao Chan was sent to Dong Zhuo's harem. The consequences were unimaginable.
For a moment, Wang Lei suddenly became confused.
Diao Chan's incident came too suddenly. Wang Lei was not prepared at all. Wang Lei thought for a moment and ordered: "Brother, let me be quiet. This incident has too much impact. I must sort out the next thoughts."
"promise."
Shi A said goodbye and left. But she didn't feel that it was too serious.
Dong Zhuo was Lu Bu's adoptive father and the helmsman of the Western Liang Army. Even if Lu Bu is angry, he cannot offend Dong Zhuo. Shi A is not clear about it. Wang Lei knows the result of history.
This incident will become the fuse for the world's turmoil.
Wang Lei must consider it clearly in order to calmly deal with the next situation.
...
Lu Bu left Meiwu and returned to the house to see his wife and daughter. He gave the purchased gifts. Then he took the gifts to Situ Mansion. Lu Bu came to Situ Mansion and walked straight in.
It took a short time to arrive in the hall. Wang Yun came to the hall.
After sitting down, Wang Yun smiled and said, "Fengxian. This time he went to Qu'a. It must be very hard to get along. He just returned to Chang'an. Why didn't he have a good rest in his house?"
Lu Bu smiled slightly and said, "Situ, I miss Diao Chan, and came to pay a visit. Look. I bought a lot of Jiangnan items, all for Diao Chan and Mrs. Zun."
Wang Yun glanced at the items that Lu Bu had placed next to him and sighed lightly.
Lu Bu frowned and said, "Situ. Why did you sigh for no reason?"
Wang Yun said, "Fengxian. I'm sorry to you."
"What happened to Situ?" When Lu Bu saw Wang Yun's expression, a bad premonition suddenly arose in his heart. Lu Bu's heart had already guessed that it was related to Diao Chan. It was just that after Lu Bu returned to Chang'an, he met Dong Zhuo first and then his wife and children. He didn't know about Diao Chan entering the Meiwu. He guessed that Diao Chan might have suffered a serious illness or something.
Wang Yun said slowly: "Diao Chan...ah..."
Lu Bu stood up and shouted: "What happened to Situ Diao Chan."
Wang Yun said: "Diao Chan married Dong Zhuo."
"ah.."
Lu Bu was struck by lightning and took two steps back in a row.
At this moment, Lu Bu's mind was blank.
