[Three Kingdoms] Burning incense and sacrificial wine

Chapter 91

Guo Jia heard footsteps behind her and turned her head.

Cui Songdao: "Lao Fengxiao will follow me this way..."

Guo Jia shook his head: "Zi Cong's words are too far-fetched, between you and me, it doesn't have to be like this... How is brother Xi doing now?"

"Shang Ke, I've fallen asleep now. It will be curfew time in a moment, it seems that we can only stay here for one night today."

Guo Jia said: "Alright."

Cui Song asked, "Where is Dong Zhuona's adviser now?"

Guo Jia pointed to the backyard of the farmhouse.

Cui Song followed his instructions and looked in that direction, except for a pile of weeds that could not hide people, there was only a water tank with a hole in the bottom left.

Cui Song paused: "...is it in the tank?"

Guo Jia said: "Correct answer. Leave him alone, now let's discuss a major matter."

"What's the big deal?"

Cui Song tensed up when he heard the words, but saw Guo Jia holding his chin seriously.

"tonight……"

Cui Song listened attentively.

"What should we eat?"

Cui Song: ...

Seeing that Cui Song didn't answer for a long time, Guo Jia deliberately added a little doubt to his gaze.

Cui Song knew that Guo Jia was teasing him on purpose, so he also pretended to think for a while, and replied: "How about serving filial piety with red roast?"

Guo Jia had a smile in his eyes, but this time he was really a little puzzled: "What is soy sauce?"

Cui Song remembered that there was no iron pot at this time, so he said casually: "It is to burn Fengxiao into bright red..."

Guo Jiasha nodded thoughtfully: "Very good. One dish is not enough, how about adding another 'Zicong Sweet Cheese'?"

Cui Song was speechless: "After what you said... I'm really hungry."

"Don't worry," Guo Jia pointed to the northwest corner of the farmhouse. "I just went to see it. There are ingredients on the stove. Before you came out, Miss Ren had already prepared dinner. Let's go and have a look together."

In the city, Li Ru was reading in his study when he was suddenly summoned by Dong Zhuo.

This was the first time since the "poisoning incident" that Li Ru, who had been salted for many days, was approached by Dong Zhuo's people during his rest time.

Instead of any joy or excitement, Li Ru felt a little annoyed.

At this time, Dong Zhuo sent someone to look for him, and there must be nothing good.

Can't you stop for a while at night?

Li Ru scolded Dong Zhuo thousands of times in his heart, but on the face he put on an expression of gratitude, and followed Dong Zhuo's servants to Dong Zhuo's mansion.

As soon as he entered the hall, he saw Dong Zhuo sitting on the upper seat, and on his left sat a young scholar whom he had never seen before.

Li Ru vaguely guessed what was going on, pretended not to know, stepped forward with a smile and saluted:

"I have seen the master."

After Dong Zhuo received the ceremony, he spread his fingers and pointed at Jiang Zun:

"This is Jiang Shouzhi. He has the ability to make a difference in the world, and he is not inferior to Zhicai at all."

Hearing that Dong Zhuo compared Xi Zhicai, Li Ru, who had been selectively filtering Jiang Zun, finally raised his head and looked at Jiang Zun a few times, and made a humble salute: "Jiang Shizi."

Jiang Zun stood up and bowed back: "I have long admired Mr. Li's name."

Take your seats.

Dong Zhuo clapped his hands twice, and a waiter came up with a golden lacquer plate with cloud patterns, and a bamboo slip was placed on top of the lacquer plate.

Li Ru saw a bird feather stuck on the top of the bamboo slip, and knew that it was an urgent letter from the frontline army.

Dong Zhuo said: "I have already seen this feather calligraphy, you two should also look at it."

The waiter was holding the lacquer tray, walking slowly, as if hesitating who should read this secret letter first.

Seeing this, Li Ru felt unhappy.

As the chief counselor under Dong Zhuo's account, he made great contributions.In the past, when encountering such things, Dong Zhuo's servants must not even think about it, and directly put things in front of his eyes. How could they have such a hesitant attitude?

These servants respect Dong Zhuo's will, and their actions largely represent Dong Zhuo's attitude.

Seeing that the waiter was in trouble, Jiang Zun said "understanding": "The elders and the younger are in order, Mr. Li will take a look first."

Li Ru raised his eight-character eyebrows, thinking that Jiang Shizi's words were really interesting, and... he didn't know the heights of heaven and earth.

What is "orderly seniors and young, Mr. Li first"?Is this implying that apart from Li Ru being a few years older, there is no big deal compared with Jiang Zun?

Li Ru thought it was ridiculous, and said lazily: "Did you hear that, why don't you bring me the things."

But he didn't accept Jiang Zun's provocation at all.

Li Ru had already encountered this taunting trick countless times when he was mediocre, and he was naturally immune to it.As for Jiang Zun, in Li Ru's eyes, he was not even considered an opponent, and it was not worth his effort.

Dong Zhuo at the top turned a blind eye to the dark tide below. He was drinking alone, and said to the waiter who was walking slowly: "Why are you dawdling, why don't you give something to Wen You (Li Ru)?"

As if he had been pardoned, the waiter immediately put the things in front of Li Ru's case.

Because he knew what kind of person Dong Zhuo was, Li Ru didn't feel angry at all.He opened the bamboo slips and read them roughly.

This urgent letter was sent by Hu Zhen, which stated the "heinous crime" of the two brothers You Yin and You Yi, and implored Dong Zhuo to exterminate the three tribes of Youjiayi.

Li Ru: ...

Li Ru was silent for a long while, wondering if this Hu Zhen was drunk and hairy, or was his brain completely broken?

Two brothers, You Yin and You Yi, one is an official from Sili Zuo Fengyi Gongcao, and the other is from General Wuwei.

Even though you, Hu Zhen, are Dong Zhuo's most trusted confidants, you can't make random nonsense and want to kill these two brothers because of personal grievances. Is this Hu Zhen crazy or crazy?

After thinking about it, Hu Zhen usually wrote a letter to ask himself whenever he made a big move, but now he didn't know him at all, and sent a letter directly to Dong Zhuo... The filial piety in the past was also perfunctory.Could it be that seeing him "lost power" recently made him feel negligent?

Li Ru was old and cunning, and he knew Hu Zhen's thoughts through subtle details, and he groaned in his heart.

As expected of Dong Zhuo's favorite confidant, he really looks like him - Zhong Wuyan if there is something to do, and Xia Yingchun if nothing to do, forget how he used to cover for him in front of Dong Zhuo, and even offended Lu Bu several times?

Li Ru no longer wanted to deal with this matter.Anyway, Hu Zhen was contemptuous of himself, and he would do whatever he wanted, and if he really intervened, he might even cause a lot of trouble.Hu Zhen killed him, so what does it matter to Li Ru?

"I don't know much about Brother Youjia, so I don't want to talk too much. Jiang Shizi, please read it."

While flipping through the bamboo slips, Jiang Zun smiled at Li Ru and said, "Mr. Li doesn't know you brothers, so he is serious? Then how did Zun hear that General Wuwei (You Yi) sent a dancer to your house last time?" ?”

Li Ru's eyes froze.

He checked the woman named Gan Ji afterwards.This woman was caught by Xichengwei to trace her identity, but was guaranteed by General You Yi of Wuwei and finally released.

Although he didn't know why You Yi came forward as a security guard for this girl, he also found out that it was not You Yi who sent her to Hu's house, but a member of the Xicheng Guard.

How does Jiang Zun know about You Yi and Gan Ji?Even if others pay more attention to him in Li Ru's house, they will only think that the dancing girl was sent by Hu Zhen, and will not bring out You Yi behind her.

unless……

Li Ru's prediction was correct, the reason why Jiang Zun knew about Gan Ji was precisely because Gan Ji's series of behaviors were written by him.

As early as when Gan Ji was lurking beside Cui Song, the two of them had colluded together.

Later, Gan Ji was caught in the wrong place by Cui Song.That day was the day when Jiang Zun and Gan Ji exchanged information in private. Jiang Zun couldn't wait for Gan Ji's information for a long time, knowing that there must be something wrong with Gan Ji, so he designed Liu Yaoqiang to invite Cui Song into the mansion, and took this opportunity to arrest Gan Ji. rescued.

After Gan Ji escaped from the post house, she wanted to go to Liu Yao, but it was he who threatened her cleverly, making Gan Ji think that Liu Yao wanted to kill her to please Cui Song, and he provoked her ignorantly, which aroused Gan Ji's hatred for Cui Song. Instilling the idea that "as long as you solve Cui Song in Chang'an City, you can save the whole family", so you put yourself at risk and enter Li Ru's mansion pretending to be a dancer.

Although man's calculation is not as good as heaven's calculation, he failed in the end, but he learned from Gan Ji that "Xi Zhicai worked for Dong Zhuo, and his status is not low", so he told Liu Yao the news and succeeded in calculating Xi Zhicai.

However, the news that Jiang Zun got from Gan Ji was not all true.

For example, he knew that Gan Ji took advantage of You Yi's power to enter Li Ru's mansion, but he didn't know that Gan Ji was not sent to Li Ru's mansion by You Yi, and there was a Hu mansion in between.

It was this little difference that caused Li Ru to discover the abnormality and made a wild guess about his relationship with Gan Ji.

Jiang Zun was ready to watch a good show, but he saw Li Ru's eyes widened in surprise, and he said, "Jiang Shizi, don't talk nonsense. The woman was not presented by General You, but was married to Da Honglu Qing Liu Yao has an unclear relationship."

Upon hearing Liu Yao's name, Jiang Zun's hand holding the wine glass froze.

Li Ru sneered: "I originally thought that since a person is dead, it's all over. Let him go with peace of mind. But Jiang Shizi's words reminded me."

He stood up and bowed to Dong Zhuo.

"Grand Master Rong said that Confucianism wants to sue one person."

Dong Zhuo actually didn't want him to talk, but although he wanted to suppress Li Ru, but except for the sick Xi Zhicai, none of his smart people could compare with Li Ru, and he couldn't tear himself apart with Li Ru now. , had to let him play.

Li Ru also saw this right, and made a big move for Jiang Zun without hesitation: "Liu Yao, Dahonglu Qing, first bought the maidservant of Cui Song, a famous scholar in Qinghe, with the intention of murdering Cui Song; Under the guise of General Hu, he entered my residence with the intention of assassinating me—may I ask what Liu Yao's intentions are?"

Jiang Zun didn't realize this development.

At this time, Li Ru turned his head again and pointed the cannon fire at him: "I heard that Jiang Shizi used to be Liu Yao's aide, and he was highly regarded. Ru dare to ask, what is Liu Yao's plan? I, Li Ru, have ever offended me a little bit. Liu Yao's place?"

Jiang Zun had no choice but to get up again: "Mr. Li..."

Li Ru didn't give him a chance to speak: "I also want to ask Shizi Jiang—how much do you know about Liu Yao's actions, and what role did you play in it?"

Jiang Zun's expression changed drastically.
