Chapter 386 If Dong Zhuo dies, he needs to protect Dong Bai! (Three in one)
Chapter 386 If Dong Zhuo dies, he must die to protect Dong Bai! (Three-in-one)
Huang Wan arranged this place and guarded the side door, preparing to open the door for Xun Shuang. When he heard the voice of the visitor, he was suddenly startled!
He had followed Huang Wan before, met Xun Shuang, and knew what Xun Shuang's voice sounded like!
But the person knocking on the courtyard door on a rainy night, his voice was definitely not Xun Shuang's!
How could this not surprise him?
"Who are you?!"
He asked in a low voice, with vigilance, his hand already pressed to the knife on his waist.
The visitor was stunned, obviously not expecting that this person would have such a reaction.
However, he quickly reacted.
He said aloud: "I am a follower of Mr. Xun. Mr. Xun is old, in poor health and has difficulty moving. He needs to travel by car. Traveling at night is too conspicuous at this time, and it is raining continuously in autumn..."
After hearing this man's explanation, Huang Wan's confidant felt relieved.
This is exactly what this person said.
According to Sikong Xunshuang’s physical condition, he is really not suitable to do this in person!
Immediately, he closed the door gently and slowly locked it.
Then he lowered his voice and said: "Come with me, my master has been waiting for a long time."
With that said, he took the lead towards the room where Huang Wan was.
The man who claimed to be Xun Shuang's confidant followed him.
The two of them didn't talk to each other all the way.
All the way to Huang Wan's room with some candlelight shining through, Huang Wan's confidants knocked on the door gently.
In the house, Huang Wan, who was reading under the lamp, closed the book.
He walked to the door and opened it.
"Master, Xun Sikong didn't come, it was his servant who came."
When the man saw Huang Wan, he immediately informed Huang Wan of the situation.
Then he moved his steps to the side and gave way to the door.
Stand aside.
At the same time, his hand was again on the handle of the knife at his waist, ready to kill at any time.
The person who followed him immediately stepped forward, bowed respectfully to Huang Wan, and said: "I'm going to pay homage to Mr. Huang. The master of the house is in poor health and is not suitable for traveling at night to meet guests, so I sent you here."
Okay, if there is anything presumptuous, please forgive Huang Gonghai."
Huang Wan felt that this voice sounded familiar.
After thinking for a while, he said: "Raise your head and let me see."
When the man heard this, he raised his head.
Huang Wan moved his body to the side, letting the light from the room shine through and shine on the man's face.
Look carefully.
Then he recognized this person.
He had indeed seen this man before. He was Xun Shuang's servant, and he was very steady in his work.
Immediately he said: "Mr.
As he spoke, he led the person into the room.
The man followed him in.
Huang Wan's confidant then removed his hand from the handle of the knife.
He reached out to close the door and did not leave. Instead, he found an inconspicuous corner outside the room and stayed there quietly...
"...The head of my family asked the villain to tell Mr. Huang not to interfere with what Wang Yun is doing."
In the room, Xun Shuang sent a servant and said to Huang Wan like this.
Huang Wan heard this and asked, "Why is this? Does Duke Xun think that Wang Yun will definitely lose this time?"
Xun Shuang shook his head and said, "That's not the case. The head of my family said that if Wang Situ wants to do something, let him do it.
We do not oppose it, and we do not want to participate in it.
Duke Xun said that only Wang Yun could take the lead in this matter, and the rest, Duke Yang and Duke Huang, should not join in.
If Wang Yun can succeed this time, it will be great.
At that time, it would not be too late to stand up and support Wang Yun and help Wang Yun stabilize the situation as soon as possible.
But if Wang Yun failed this time, so many veterans would be implicated, and Dong Zhuo would kill them all!
The emperor was still young and the Han Dynasty was so weak that someone needed to work hard for it.
We cannot involve everyone in a big event. Someone needs to stay to protect the emperor and revive the Han Dynasty as much as possible...
The head of my family said that at this time, we need to be patient.
There needs to be an appearance and an inside.
Fighting Dong Zhuo directly, no matter how beautiful and happy, but sometimes, you can't bear it..."
Xun Shuang's confidant said to Huang Wan, repeating Xun Shuang's words.
Huang Wan was shocked when he heard this.
There seemed to be a thunderbolt rising in my heart, breaking through the fog.
He sat here, silent for a while, lowering his head and thinking about things quickly.
After a while of this, Huang Wan stood up, straightened his clothes, bowed deeply to the servant Xun Shuang in front of him, and said aloud: "If it weren't for Mr. Xun's words, I would have almost gone astray.
Please take the trouble to tell Mr. Xun that Huang Wan will record this matter."
Xun Shuang followed the others and quickly returned the courtesy to Huang Wan.
After a while, the door of Huang Wan's room opened, and Huang Wan personally led Xun Shuang out.
Huang Wan's servant who was hiding in the darkness also came out, preparing to lead Xun Shuang away.
After walking a few steps, he found that Huang Wan also walked into the rain curtain.
"Huang Gong, how dare I bother you to send me off? Please return to the house quickly."
Xun Shuang discovered this and quickly lowered his voice.
Huang Wan waved his hand and said: "It doesn't matter."
Xun Shuang knew from others that the reason why Huang Wan came out to see him off regardless of the status gap was not because of how great he was.
It's because the other party respects his family leader's character and strategy.
Immediately he saluted Huang Wan.
Let Huang Wan send him away...
The three of them were speechless, and walked all the way in the dark to the side door of Huang Wan's courtyard, and quietly opened the door.
Xun Shuang's servant bowed to Huang Wan and then slipped out of the side door without saying a word.
Walking into the rain curtain, it quickly disappeared...
Huang Wan and Huang Wan's confidants closed the door again, and the master and servant walked towards the house one after another. No one said a word...
…
"I would like to trouble you to go out and go to Wang Yun's place to deliver some messages to Wang Yun and me."
After seeing off Xun Shuang's servant, he returned to the room. Huang Wan sat there, thinking about things.
After doing this for a while, he made up his mind, looked up at his confidant, and said this...
After a while, the side door of Huang Wan's house opened and closed again. Huang Wan was the only one left behind the side door.
Huang Wan's servant has disappeared into the rain of the dark night...
…
"Go back and say hello to Duke Xun for me, and ask him to take good care of himself.
The great Han Dynasty has become what it is now.
Now I really cannot do without him, and I need him to work more hard and worry more.
The current water is too deep for us to control, and we need others to take more care from behind..."
At about the same time, where the former Situ Yang Biao lived, the current Guanglu doctor Yang Biao respectfully saluted a man in black clothes with some water stains on his body and said this.
Seeing this, the man quickly returned the greeting to Yang Biao.
Then he said: "The villain will definitely bring the words to..."
As the man spoke, he picked up the bamboo hat and raincoat that were placed by the door. After getting dressed, he said goodbye to Yang Biao, left Yang Biao's house, entered the rain curtain, and disappeared into the night...
After seeing off the confidants sent by Xun Shuang, Yang Biao, who only had a bamboo hat on his head and no raincoat, walked back through the side door.
He walked very slowly, walking slowly in the dark night rain, with a thoughtful look on his face...
About a quarter of an hour later, Yang Biao came to the front of the house.
This house is not occupied by Yang Biao himself.
Yang Biao stepped forward and knocked on the door.
"who?"
After knocking a few times, there was a sound coming from inside the house.
"I."
Yang Biao lowered his voice and answered.
There was no such thing as "Who am I" coming from inside the house.
After waiting for a while, the door was opened from the inside, and Yang Biao walked in...
Without waiting for too long, Yang Biao walked out of the room with someone and closed the door.
Then accompany him all the way to the side door...
…
At Xun Shuang's house, Xun Shuang, who had become a little thinner, was lying on the bed with his eyes closed, looking like he was asleep.
But this was all an illusion, because he soon started coughing.
It's very intense.
The old servant quickly helped him up, stretched out his hand and patted him on the back, and it took him a while to regain some strength.
They brought tea again and asked Xun Shuang to take a few sips and then squeezed it, and then he felt much better.
The old servant looked at Xun Shuang with worry in his eyes.
Xun Shuang smiled and waved to him: "Don't worry, I won't die soon.
Even if I die, our Xun family doesn't have to worry.
The two children, Gongda and Wenruo, are both great. With these two here, we, ahem, ahem... we, the Xun family, cannot be defeated."
Saying this, he thought of Xun Yu.
"Speaking of the fact that so much time has passed, this child Wen Ruo should have received my letter, and it has been a while since we set off.
Calculating the time, it should be here soon...
At this time, the road is not smooth..."
Xun Shuang said this, feeling a little worried.
They were afraid that their talented Wang Zuo would have an accident on the road.
The old servant heard the words and comforted him: "Mr. Wen Ruo is no longer a child. He has traveled a lot and is very resourceful. Nothing will happen on the way..."
Xun Shuang laughed when he heard this: "I know it too, but I can't help but worry that this person will become useless as he gets older..."
As the master and servant talked, time gradually passed.
The rain outside the window has not stopped.
There was a gentle knock on the door, and the old servant stopped talking and went to open the door.
The visitor took off his bamboo hat and raincoat, placed them at the door, and came over to greet Xun Shuang.
Xun Shuang smiled and waved his hand, asking how things were going.
The man said: "Huang Gong accepted your proposal, head of the family, and asked the villain to come back and express his gratitude to you on his behalf..."
After a while, another person who went to Yang Biao's house also came back and reported to Xun Shuang the situation there.
After Xun Shuang heard this, he nodded with a smile and thanked the two for their hard work.
Then he asked the old servant to pour hot water for them to drink and warm themselves up.
After talking to the two of them some more and asking about some situations, the two of them went back to rest.
…
"Prince Shi Wang Yun, his dissatisfaction with me is now getting worse."
After the two left, Xun Shuang smiled and said to the old servant.
The old servant heard this and said: "Since the master knows that the prince's master will be dissatisfied with the master because of this, why does the master still act like this?"
What he was secretly referring to was that Wang Yun was Situ after all, and was still plotting against Dong Zhuo.
If Dong Zhuo is really killed by Wang Yun, Wang Yun will definitely gain great power.
If Wang Yun is offended like this now, will Wang Yun target his Xun family in the future?
Xun Shuang is a smart man, and the old servant has followed him for many years. As soon as the old servant spoke like this, he already understood what the old servant meant.
Then he smiled and said: "What can I do?
Just because you're worried that Prince Wang Yun's tutor will be dissatisfied with me, you can't just stop doing something and watch him drag the rest of the Han Dynasty veterans into great danger, right?
This is a rare and staunch old minister before the emperor.
If he is implicated because of this incident, the emperor's life will be even more difficult in the future.
As for whether Wang Yun will take any targeted actions against me or the Xun family in the future because of this incident, I don't care either.
As an old person like me, even if I survive, I won't live for too long, so why would I care about his master doing this to me?
As for Gongda and Wenruo...
Gongda has been following the emperor's uncle for many years. After Wen Ruo comes to Chang'an, he will also follow the emperor's uncle to do things.
I'm afraid it would be a little difficult for Wang Zishi to reach out and seize someone from Uncle Liu Huang and punish them both.
Besides, Gongda and Wenruo are my Qilin children of the Xun family. Even without the protection of Uncle Liu, Wang Yun can't really do anything to them.
I'm not boasting, but if he really lets go and does things, Wang Yun may not be able to get any benefits from the two of them.
And, I think it will be a little difficult for Wang Yun to succeed this time."
The old servant nodded: "With two husbands here, you really don't have to worry too much about the future of the Xun family."
After thinking for a while, he said, "What does the head of the family mean, that Wang Yun will definitely fail this time?"
Xun Shuang shook his head: "It's not that I'm sure that Wang Yun will fail, but I feel that there seems to be something wrong with this matter, but I can't figure it out for a while.
When I became aware of Wang Yun's possible actions, I immediately warned Wang Yun and advised him not to continue.
As a result, after the letter was sent, Wang Yun didn't even reply to me.
It can be seen from this that he absolutely does not agree with my opinion and has absolute confidence in his own plan.
Since he is really so confident and wants to give it a go, let him go.
I am here to sincerely wish Wang Yun success.
Able to eliminate Dong Zhuo.
But in order to reduce the price of failure, we can only try our best to remove the remaining Han Dynasty veterans from this matter..."
The old servant nodded, and then said: "But if you, Master, Yang Gong, Huang Gong and other veterans and important officials are not involved in this, if Wang Yun really accomplishes this, then his prestige will really be lost for a while.
The people are worth it.
Wang Yun will preside over the imperial court.
Wang Yun is a somewhat headstrong person. Once he is allowed to control the court alone, he is afraid that some troubles will arise if he fails to do so.
For a big man, it may not be a good thing."
When Xun Shuang heard this, he turned to look at his old servant.
Then he moved his eyes away from the old servant's face and said, "I never thought you would think so deeply.
However, there is no need to worry too much about this.
Wang Yun is not the only one in this level."
As he spoke, he stretched out his hand to point in the south direction and said with a smile: "There is someone leading an army over there!
This is the emperor's uncle and Dong Zhuo's grandson-in-law. He has a very high prestige in Dong Zhuo's army.
Dong Zhuo died, not to mention the soldiers who had followed him in the attack on Yizhou.
Just under Dong Zhuo's command who are distributed in Guanzhong, most of them will be headed by this person.
This person is not Lu Bu.
With such a person, it would be impossible for Wang Yun to do whatever he wants and take power alone."
As he spoke, he pointed at himself and his old servant, and said loudly: "What's more, in Chang'an, people like you and me are not dead yet."
When the old servant heard this, he paused for a moment, and then asked: "Then what should we do next?"
Xun Shuang said: "What should be done has been done, and then the situation of sitting quietly will arise.
If Wang Yun fails in this matter, Zhou Xuan will do her best to prevent Dong Zhuo from taking advantage of the situation and making the matter too big and involving more people.
Preserve as much of the strength of the Han family as possible.
If Wang Yun succeeds, then he must try his best to save Dong Bai and the rest of Liu Huangshu's family members, and prevent Wang Yun and others from overdoing their killing and injuring them.
Especially Dong Bai must be saved.
She is not simply Dong Zhuo's granddaughter, she is also the unmarried wife of Emperor Liu's uncle.
No matter what, Wang Yun and others cannot be killed.
Otherwise, I'm afraid there will be some bad effects in the future..."
The autumn rain outside the window continued to fall, making the air a little cold.
An oil lamp was lit in the room. The elderly Xun Shuang and his old servant were talking slowly here, listening to the sound of wind and rain outside the window. They looked like two old people chatting here.
, the ordinary kind.
But if someone heard what the two of them said, there would definitely be an uproar in their hearts...
…
"Xun Shuang Xun Ciming!"
The night rain fell on the roof of Wang Yun's house and fell down along the eaves.
At this time, Prince Situ Wang Yun, who had not yet fallen asleep, seemed to be gnashing his teeth when he squeezed out such a sentence!
Just now, Yang Biao and Huang Wan's confidants arrived one after another and expressed to him their intention not to participate in this matter.
At the same time, he also said that after he succeeds, they will definitely stand up and help him stabilize the situation.
He also said that for the sake of the Han Dynasty and the emperor today, they could not be involved in an extremely dangerous matter.
These words indeed sounded very reasonable, but they made Wang Yun feel extremely uncomfortable.
By saying this, aren't they making it clear that they don't believe they will succeed this time?
Moreover, he also took them out of this matter.
If things fail, it has nothing to do with them; if things are done, they can stand up and take advantage!
Although I know that I cannot fail, I will definitely succeed this time.
However, the attitude of Yang Biao and others still made him feel extremely dissatisfied.
How can anyone do such a thing?
I originally thought that Yang Biao, Huang Wan, and Xun Shuang were all veterans of the Han Dynasty, and they would fight for the Han Dynasty at all costs.
But I didn't expect that these people would actually act like this!
He was not a stupid person. After Huang Wan and Yang Biao's subordinates came to convey this idea, he immediately understood who was behind such an idea.
Except for Xun Shuang and Xun Ciming, who are extremely good at finding a career, there will definitely be no one else!
Wang Yun scolded Xun Shuang here.
He was said to be a sinister villain. On the surface, he said that he was doing everything for the emperor and the great man. In fact, he was afraid of death and used this as an excuse to seek the safety of the Xun family.
He also scolded Yang Biao and Huang Wan.
It is said that one of them is the fourth generation and the third prince, the second largest Yuan family.
He served as an important minister of the Han Dynasty for generations and received many favors from the Han Dynasty.
Unexpectedly, at such a critical moment, he actually followed Xun Shuang and listened to Xun Shuang's monstrous words!
After standing here full of anger and scolding Xun Shuang and others, Wang Yun stood with his hands behind his hands, tears filling his eyes.
Who would have thought that among so many Han ministers, at this time, he would be the only one who could truly serve the Han wholeheartedly?
He was deeply moved by his nobility and loyalty.
After a while, Wang Yun reached out to wipe the tears from his face.
There was a sneer at the corner of his mouth.
Even if these people refused to stand up in the first place, in this case, the glory and great prestige of killing Dong Zhuo and eradicating the national traitors would all fall on themselves.
After taking control of the court, you can let go and do whatever you want.
There is no need to pay too much attention to the wishes of Xun Shuang and others. You can make the Han rich and powerful again according to your own wishes!
Xun Shuang and others had nothing to say.
"I've given you the opportunity, but you are greedy for life and death and have many small thoughts.
In this case, when the time comes, don't make all kinds of noise there!
Say that I, Wang Yun, will not give you a chance!"
Wang Yun clenched his fists and said with a sneer on his lips...
…
Chang'an City is completely busy.
Lu Bu had already arranged the troops and horses he led part by part to Chang'an City to prepare for the upcoming ceremony for Dong Zhuo to become the grand master.
All kinds of troops and horses were mobilized.
Make arrangements for various personnel affairs.
In Chang'an City, the construction of the imperial palace has been stopped.
The craftsmen began to work overtime to build a high platform next to the already built palace to prepare for Dong Zhuo's ceremony.
In the past few days, the food for the people who do these things has been significantly improved. Porridge and rice can be eaten with open stomachs, and they can often get a little bit of meat.
This makes these people extremely happy.
Even when he was working, he seemed very energetic.
Taste the blessings of ninety-sixth year...
Time passed quietly amidst this busy and tiring waiting, and the day came when Dong Zhuo held the grand ceremony to become the grand master...
