Chapter 281 Cai Yong finished playing a song, and Hu Ji's clothes were all wet (two in one)
The wind has risen.
The wind blew the leaves, making a rustling sound.
Many trees were blown from side to side.
"Click".
A crisp sound sounded.
On a big tree, a branch as thick as a human leg was broken by the wind and fell down.
Half of the huts below were destroyed.
Wang Yun, holding the note in his hand, witnessed such a scene and was speechless for a while.
After a while, he took a deep breath and said leisurely:
"The wind is really blowing!
Such thick branches were broken by the blow!"
Amidst Wang Yun's sighs, a servant heard the noise and rushed over to check the situation.
"The wind is not particularly strong, so why did it break such a thick branch?"
A servant felt the wind, looked at the big branches that had been blown down, and spoke with doubt.
“It must have been infested by insects!
If such a thick branch had not been eaten by insects, how could such a wind blow it down?"
An older servant next to him said.
The younger servant heard this and came forward to take a look.
"This is infested with insects. There are many insect eyes here!"
After a moment, he spoke out.
"This branch, if it was blown away by the wind, it would be blown away by the wind, and it happened to come down and destroy the house..."
Wang Yun, who was standing in front of the window and looking at the scene outside, listened to the conversation between the two servants, and his expression quickly became complicated.
I don't know what he thought.
He stood here, quietly watching the servants handling the big branches that had been blown down by the wind.
After doing this for a while, I couldn't help but let out a long sigh, and my whole person looked a little desolate...
…
Chang'an, which had just calmed down, became no longer calm overnight.
The many notes that suddenly appeared were like many stones thrown into the pond.
It stirred up waves.
There were a lot of notes, and even if some smart people who were interested in Liu Cheng sent people to search for the notes and peel them off as soon as they saw the notes, it would not help.
These notes have found their way into the hands of many people through various channels and methods.
It stirred up the situation in Chang'an.
Many people, as soon as they saw the note, had a premonition that there was going to be a strong wind in Chang'an!
There are also many people who have set their sights on the residence of Dong Zhuo, the prime minister, and Fufeng County, which is located southwest of Chang'an.
Make various guesses about what will happen next...
In this atmosphere, the servant Cai Yong hurried towards Dong Zhuo in a hurry.
He was really worried that Dong Zhuo would do something bad to Liu Cheng because of this incident.
This is not just because Liu Cheng is his prospective son-in-law.
More importantly, he saw something from Liu Cheng that he had never seen before.
You can call these things hope...
When Cai Yong arrived at Dong Zhuo's place, someone immediately came in to inform him.
After a while, the person who went to report came out.
"The Prime Minister has invited me."
Cai Yong followed this man and walked quickly to the room where Dong Zhuo was.
Along the way, Cai Yong walked very fast.
I am very anxious in my heart...
"Xiangguo, Shizhong Cai is here."
The waiter came to the door and spoke.
"Please invite Mr. Cai to come in."
Dong Zhuo's voice sounded.
The waiter stood at the door and made an inviting gesture to Cai Yong. Cai Yong straightened his clothes and stepped in.
As soon as I stepped into the room, a cool breeze hit my face, making me feel very comfortable.
Dong Zhuo was lying on a bed, and two young women in gauze were dancing not far away in front of him.
The dance is graceful.
There were also two very beautiful women waiting for Dong Zhuo to have breakfast.
"Show me a seat for Mr. Cai."
Dong Zhuo nodded to Cai Shizhong, smiled, and spoke.
Someone immediately brought a chair and asked Cai Yong to sit down.
"The weather is hot, so I brought some fruits to Cai Shizhong and asked Cai Shizhong to taste them to cool off the heat."
Dong Zhuo spoke again.
Immediately, a maid came and brought melons and fruits that had been cleaned and soaked in well water. They were held in both hands and brought to Cai Yong.
Cai Yong originally wanted to speak, but seeing this, he had to suppress what he was about to say first.
After waiting patiently for a while, I saw Dong Zhuo still half-lying on the bed, eating leisurely and watching the dance, and felt a little unsatisfied.
"Xiangguo..."
"Shizhong Cai, don't worry, these two people are from the Western Regions. Look at how well they dance.
Cai Shizhong might as well calm down and appreciate it.
Maybe you can find some inspiration from it and write a good article..."
Cai Yong had no choice but to close his mouth and swallow all the words.
Sitting here, I was forced to watch the dance with Dong Zhuo.
There's just something on my mind that I can't see through.
There was some sweat on my anxious forehead.
After doing this for a while, Cai Yong suddenly became calm.
He was no longer anxious. He reached out and took out a cut piece of cold melon from the fruit plate in front of him. He leaned back and leaned on the back of the seat.
The whole person seemed extremely relaxed.
After taking a bite, the sweet, cool, and ruddy flesh of the cold melon entered your mouth.
Forget about this kind of comfort.
Leaning on the seat, eating iced cold melon, and watching the exotic dance from the Western Regions, Cai Yong felt that his whole mood became particularly comfortable.
Cold melon is what later generations often call watermelon.
It already existed during the Han Dynasty.
I don’t know whether Zhang Jian brought it back when he was on an envoy to the Western Regions, or whether it was brought by other foreign merchants from the sea.
Anyway, by the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, this thing has become relatively common.
Because this thing is cold in nature and can quench thirst and reduce heat, it was named cold melon.
It is a fruit that many people like to eat in summer.
After eating three pieces of cold melon in a row, Cai Yong just wiped the juice from his hands and face with silk cloth.
The heat in my heart is gone.
"There is only dance, but there is no sound of silk and bamboo to accompany it. It is really monotonous.
Cai Yong is willing to play the qin and harmonize with him to help the prime minister's country flourish."
Dong Zhuo laughed when he heard this: "Hurry up and get the harp. Cai Shizhong's harp is rare to hear!"
I will be blessed today."
Immediately, someone trotted away.
After a while, I very carefully picked up a piano.
Cai Yong took it and put it on the table in front of him.
Toggle it a little and adjust it for a while.
Then as soon as he moved his hands, a series of beautiful notes flowed out, like clouds and flowing water.
The two orchids from the Western Regions also danced more vigorously.
The traditional sound of the piano, combined with the exotic dance, actually has a different kind of flavor...
Cai Yong played two songs in succession.
It wasn't until the two Hu Jis were panting from dancing and their sweat soaked through their thin clothes that they clung to their bodies that Cai Yong stopped playing.
"Hahaha, Bojie's piano is really a masterpiece!
Accompanying this song and dance from a foreign land, it is so charming!"
After that, he pointed at the two Hu Ji, who were all wet in clothes, and said: "These two people don't dance so hard when the piano can't be played."
The two Hu Ji can understand some of the shouting to some extent.
Seeing Dong Zhuo pointing his finger at them, he immediately saluted Dong Zhuo and Cai Yong.
Then he looked at Cai Yong with his blue eyes, looking forward to Cai Yong playing another song and them continuing to dance.
Then play music, then dance.
Such a thing did not happen, mainly because Cai Yong stopped playing the piano.
"This piano was made by a famous master, and I don't have anyone here who knows how to play the piano.
Fengxian actually studied piano with Bo Zhe for a while.
But his hands were simply not hands that could play the piano.
He can only play the piano randomly.
After studying with Bo Zhe for such a long time, I didn't even learn a little bit about it.
Such a good piano, if given to him, would only be ruined!
In my case, this piano can only be left idle.
In Boche's hands, such wonderful music can flow out.
Just give it to your uncle.
This way, it won’t be covered in dust.”
Hearing this, Cai Yong bowed deeply to Dong Zhuo and said, "Cai Yong thanks the Prime Minister for the gift of the piano."
Dong Zhuo smiled and waved his hands.
He looked at Cai Yong and said with a smile: "I didn't enjoy myself just now. How about Bo Zhe playing another song and letting this Hu Ji dance for a while?"
Cai Yong said: "Of course you can."
As soon as he touched the piano with his hand, smooth music flowed out and filled the whole room.
The two orchids, dressed in tulle and completely wet, also danced again to the music.
For a time, there was endless happiness in the room...
After the song was played, Cai Yong stood up with his qin in his arms and said goodbye to Dong Zhuo.
Dong Zhuo also seemed to have a hard time getting up, and then said goodbye with a smile.
Very relaxed and enjoyable.
It is in sharp contrast to the already turbulent Chang'an.
It's as if those turbulent storms have nothing to do with this place.
Cai Yong hugged Qin and left.
When I came, I was very anxious, but when I left, the wind was calm and the clouds were calm.
The storm surging in Chang'an can no longer affect him.
After coming to Dong Zhuo, he didn't say a word to Dong Zhuo about this incident, and Dong Zhuo didn't say anything either.
However, it explained a lot of things clearly.
This time, when the storm breaks out in Chang'an, my good son-in-law Liu Huangshu will not be in any danger!
…
"...It seems that this time, the Prime Minister got the news earlier.
We even know who initiated this offensive against the emperor's uncle.
Otherwise, under the current circumstances, I would not be so calm and in such a mood, eating leisurely and enjoying singing and dancing..."
At Cai Yong's house, Cai Yan stroked the head of the fat white cat in his arms and said this.
Cai Yong nodded: "I also thought of this, so I felt at ease."
“I just don’t know who is so vicious and does such a cruel thing to Kede!
Fortunately, the relationship between Kede and Dong Xiangguo was extraordinary.
Otherwise, faced with such heart-wrenching remarks, Kede will really be in trouble this time!"
After a short pause, Cai Yong said again with some emotion and anger.
Cai Yan gently twisted the ears of the white cat in his arms with his fingers and said loudly: "Didn't the Prime Minister already tell his father about the person who did this?"
Hearing Cai Yan's words, Cai Yong was slightly startled, and then he reacted.
"No wonder the Prime Minister said that this Qin was given to Lu Bu and was wasted.
It is said that Lu Bu can only play the piano randomly.
Now it seems that it is indeed the case!
This guy really only knows how to play the piano!"
Saying this, Cai Yong remembered the time when Lu Bu shamelessly insisted on learning the piano from him, and then broke the strings of his long-cherished piano.
I couldn't help but feel more and more angry.
"This Lu Fengxian deserves to die!"
Even though Cai Yong was well-educated, after realizing what Lu Bu had done to his good son-in-law, he couldn't help but gnash his teeth and curse...
…
"...Father-in-law, the whole Chang'an City has already spread the word, and the situation is surging..."
At Dong Zhuo's house, Li Ru came over and reported to Dong Zhuoru in a low voice.
Dong Zhuo nodded.
"I never expected that this guy Lu Bu would really do something like this!"
Dong Zhuo held up his fat hand.
The already fat hand turned into a round ball.
"After listening to what Kede said before, I knew that this guy Lu Bu really had bad intentions.
Now, my father-in-law took advantage of the situation and deliberately stimulated him. As expected, Lu Bu was so stimulated that he couldn't help but take action again.
The people I sent out secretly saw the people who posted the stickers.
I saw these people coming out of Tongguan with my own eyes.
Now, I know where these people are hiding.
Father-in-law, do you want to take down all these people?"
Li Ru asked Dong Zhuo for instructions.
Dong Zhuo thought for a while, waved his hand and said loudly:
"Ignore these people, lest they alert others.
To attack these people at this time, Lu Bu would definitely become suspicious and panic in his heart since he could not see these people returning.
Maybe you will do something drastic because of this.
Now, Kede sent troops to Yizhou and was ready to go.
It is not appropriate to do other things at this time that will cause unnecessary problems.
It's just Lu Bu, not as important as this matter.
Moreover, if I didn’t know about this person’s sinister intentions before, that would be fine. Now that I know about this person’s sinister intentions, he alone can’t make any trouble!
As long as I am still here, Lu Bu should not think of rebelling against me!"
Dong Zhuo, who was getting fatter and fatter, had not ridden a serious horse for a long time and galloped on the battlefield. When he talked about this incident, he once again showed the aura left over from his old days of fighting with iron horses and fighting on the battlefield.
Li Ru heard this and saluted Dong Zhuo.
Then he continued to speak: "Father-in-law, what do you think about Lu Bu being so eager to replace Kede and sending troops to Yizhou?"
Dong Zhuo smiled.
"Of course it's not the reason that Lu Bu told me that Yizhou is vulnerable and there is no need for generals like Kede to go there, so that Kede can rest assured here in Guanzhong and do more important digging of channels.
Based on his hatred for Kede, how could he say such a thing?
If the prediction is correct, this should be the real purpose of this guy Lu Bu!"
Dong Zhuo said, pointing to the note on the table.
“Burn down the plank road for three hundred miles and create a cave in the middle of Sichuan!
As expected, what a thief is best at is shouting to catch the thief!"
Li Ru said aloud from the side with a smile on his face...
