Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Picture of the Poor Dagger
"This is a bit difficult to do, without Wang Yun's secret help, I can't be a Nanyang Taishou logically, and if I can't get Nanyang County, I won't be able to expand my strength......"
Su Zhe had a hint of worry in his heart, so he arched his hand and said, "Wang Situ, don't you think about it again." ”
His voice fell, and before Wang Yun could speak, Wang Ling flicked his hand and shouted coldly: "Su Zhe, are you deaf, didn't you hear my uncle's words, he won't do that kind of thing to abolish the public for personal gain, you better retreat quickly." ”
Su Zhe was choked with a snort, and he was secretly angry in his heart, but he could only endure it for the time being.
"Since that's the case, then the lower official will leave." Su Zhe arched his hand slightly, without a trace of anger, turned around and walked out of the door.
Looking at Su Zhe's departing figure, Wang Ling snorted coldly: "Uncle, I don't think this surnamed Su is anything special, how can he ruin our good deeds." ”
"Don't look like a man."
Wang Yun sighed softly, his eyes were playful, and he brushed his beard and said: "I look at this Su Zhe as a humble person, but his aura is calm and unhurried, and he can endure it when he is collided by your words, and his joy and anger are invisible, according to me, he is at least a person who is very deep in the city." ”
"Is he that good?" Wang Ling looked skeptical.
"You have to believe in Uncle Wei's vision, now that you think about it, Uncle Wei refused to help him become Nanyang, offending this person, it may not be a wise move." Wang Yun's eyes swept up a trace of scruples.
Wang Ling snorted disdainfully: "Uncle is too exalted to him, even if he has extraordinary ability, he is just a disciple of a poor family, even if he holds a grudge, can he still threaten his uncle, who is a disciple of the court." ”
"That's right, maybe it's because I'm worried about my uncle."
Wang Yun nodded, the hint of jealousy in his eyes flashed, and then said: "Our plan was destroyed by this surnamed Su, it seems that we can only use a spare strategy to separate Dong Thief and Lu Bu, Ling'er, your righteous sister, how is your enlightenment?" ”
"Uncle, don't worry, she has already agreed."
"Did she really agree, or did she promise against her will, in case of sudden apostasy when it was implemented, what should she do?" Wang Yun looked cautious.
Wang Ling sneered confidently: "Uncle, don't worry, I had admitted her parents to the mansion the day before yesterday, and she agreed without hesitation on the same day." ”
"You're threatening her parents?" Wang Yun's face sank, and his tone revealed dissatisfaction.
Wang Ling hurriedly sighed: "My nephew, when I know, this is detrimental to the identity of my Wang family, but my nephew wants us to do this, not for the selfish interests of our Wang family, but to kill the national thief, Kuang Fu Sheji, just the so-called big things are not informal, and they can only be forced to do so." ”
Wang Yun was silent.
After a while, he sighed helplessly: "For the sake of the Han family, the people in the world can only do this." ”
Wang Ling breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly said: "Since this is the case, then the nephew will hurry up and train her, just when the time is ripe, we can send her to the field." ”
Wang Yun was silent, only flicked his hand to show that everything was arranged by him.
Outside the Szeto Mansion.
Su Zhe had already left the mansion and turned over his horse.
"Childe, did Wang Situ promise to help Sone get the appointment of Nanyang Taishou?" Zhou Cang couldn't wait to ask.
Su Zhe shook his head: "That Wang Yun's attitude is very cold to me, and he can't return Liu Biao's letter on the grounds that he can't abolish the public on the grounds of private use, and his nephew Wang Ling is still quite hostile to me, it seems that I have offended them somewhere." ”
When Zhou Cang heard this, he was angry, gritted his teeth and scolded: "This old thief surnamed Wang is really hateful, son, do you want to sneak into Situ Mansion at night with a team of brothers and kill that old thief!" ”
Su Zhe's heart was shocked, and he hurriedly said: "That's Situ Mansion, it's heavily guarded, how can you sneak in and kill people at will, Zifeng, we are in the territory of the Xiliang people, not in Biyang, don't shout and kill at every turn." ”
"Oh, I'm just sorry for Childe." Zhou Cang's anger was suddenly discharged, and he untied the skin from his waist and poured a big mouthful.
"Of course I understand that you are angry, but we also have to act on the opportunistic, we can't-"
Before he finished speaking, Su Zhe suddenly caught a glimpse of the blood stains on the corner of Zhou Cang's mouth, and couldn't help but wonder: "I said Zifeng, you are no longer the leader of the Yellow Turban, you don't need to pretend to be brutal to deter your subordinates, why do you still drink human blood." ”
"Well...... this" Zhou Cang smiled awkwardly, "I'm just used to it, it's become a little hobby, I can't help but want to drink two sips, and Childe smiled." ”
Su Zhe couldn't say anything, and was surprised in his heart: "Some people like to smoke, some people like to drink, some people like prostitution, I like to drink blood, I still meet it for the first time, it's really a strange hobby......"
"Ahem, childe, Wang Yun's old thief won't help us, what should we do now?" Zhou Cang coughed a few times and quickly changed the topic.
"There must be a road before the car reaches the mountain, go back to the pavilion today, and wait until tomorrow when we go to see the real owner of Chang'an City!" Su Zhe whipped his horse and galloped away.
……
Early the next morning, Su Zhe received a notice from the relevant parties, saying that it was that Dong Taishi held a banquet in the Taishou Mansion to invite important ministers of the court, and Su Zhe was allowed to attend.
At that moment, Su Zhe took the gift that Liu Biao gave to Dong Zhuo, left the building, and went straight to the Taishi Mansion.
said that it was the Taishi Mansion, but it was actually a part of the original palace, which was forcibly carved out by Dong Zhuo, and a wall was built in the middle to isolate it, and it became his Taishi Mansion.
In the more than 400 years of the Han Dynasty, only the emperor robbed the house with his subordinates, and this courtier forcibly robbed the emperor's house as his own family, Dong Zhuo is still too much.
Since it was a former imperial palace, it was naturally indispensable to be magnificent and magnificent, Su Zhe stood in front of the huge mansion gate, and after feeling Dong Zhuo's domineering luxury, he stepped up to the high level, reported his name and identity, and asked to meet the imperial master.
Many ministers in the court hated Dong Zhuo to the core, and the assassination had not happened before, prompting Dong Zhuo to strengthen his vigilance.
Su Zhe's personal soldiers were all stopped outside the door, and only Zhou Cang was allowed to follow up, and the two of them were also taken away with their weapons, and their bodies were searched by the doorman, so they almost let them strip naked for inspection, and they tossed for a while before they were allowed to enter.
Walking into the gate of the mansion, passing through the Taishi Mansion with ten steps and one post, and five steps and one sentry, Su Zhe stepped into the golden and brilliant main hall.
Looking up at the hall, I saw dozens of ministers sitting in the hall, and Wang Yun was also among them.
On the high level, Su Zhe finally saw the famous Dong Zhuo.
It was a fat middle-aged man, with black hair, and because he was too fat, his two eyes had been rejected by the horizontal flesh on his face.
He gulped down meat, drank a lot of wine, and from time to time he freed his hands, touched the crisp breasts and buttocks of the courtiers around him, and laughed proudly.
Although he was ugly and behaved rudely, none of the well-mannered ministers under the rank dared to show a sarcastic expression, and they only bowed their heads and drank lightly, not daring to give Dong Zhuo a second glance.
Rude, wild, yet intimidating.
In Su Zhe's mind, such an evaluation suddenly appeared.
At that moment, he stepped forward, neither humble nor arrogant, and waved his hand: "Jingzhou Tribute Envoy Su Zhe, meet the Taishi." ”
In the main hall, there was a sudden silence, and everyone's eyes fell on Su Zhe.
The suspicious eyes showed that they were all surprised in their hearts, how could Liu Jingsheng, who had always relied on famous people of the great clan, send such an unknown young man to be a tribute envoy.
Dong Zhuo, who was at the top of the ranks, ignored him, and only chewed his mouth full of fat slowly, as if ignoring his existence.
After a while, it wasn't until Dong Zhuo swallowed the meat in his mouth and licked his greasy fingers that he said: "Liu Jingsheng first killed Sun Jian's traitor for his father, and now he sends an envoy to pay tribute on time, he is really a model for hundreds of officials, very good, my father is very satisfied with him!" ”
When Dong Zhuo had not yet moved the capital, he was repeatedly defeated by Sun Jian on the front line of Luoyang, and he had no choice but to order the capital to be moved to Chang'an, which naturally held a grudge against Sun Jian in every way.
The previous time Sun Jian was ordered by Yuan Shu to go south to compete with Liu Biao for Xiangyang, but was killed by Liu Biao, although this was only the result of Liu Biao's pure self-preservation counterattack, but indirectly also removed a thorn in Dong Zhuo's side, Dong Zhuo was naturally very satisfied.
"My state pastor said that it is his duty to seek rebellion for the country, and the teacher is too serious."
Su Zhe expressed his humility for Liu Biao, and said: "In addition to the tribute to the Son of Heaven, my state pastor has also prepared a lot of rare treasures for the Taishi. ”
As he spoke, Su Zhe clapped his hands, and the guards outside the hall carried a large box into the hall.
He lifted the lid of the box with his own hands, and a piece of golden light came into view, what jade bowls, gold bottles, antiques, calligraphy and paintings and other precious things, everything.
As soon as Dong Zhuo saw these rare treasures, he couldn't help but laugh happily: "Okay, it seems that Liu Jingsheng is really attentive, Captain Wu, quickly carry this treasure chest up, and let my father-in-law see what good things Liu Jingsheng has given to my father-in-law." ”
The order was passed down, and Wu Fu, the captain of the Yue cavalry standing in front of the palace, hurriedly summoned the guards, carried the treasure chest up, and personally presented the treasures one by one in front of Dong Zhuo's eyes.
Dong Zhuo happily picked it up, played with them one by one, and praised Liu Biao incessantly.
Of course, Su Zhe knew that Dong Zhuo could even dig up the tombs of the emperors of the two Han Dynasty, and how many rare and exotic treasures were buried in it as his own, how could these treasures offered by Liu Biao really enter his eyes.
The reason why Dong Zhuo is so happy is nothing more than to show his appreciation and satisfaction with Liu Biao, and to show the princes of the world that after all, among so many princes, Liu Biao is one of the few princes who are willing to take the initiative to pay tribute to the court and present gifts to him.
"Taishi, the name of this painting is related to Taishi, it is called "Dong Taishi's Triumphant Rebellion". Woolford picked up a scroll from the box.
When Dong Zhuo heard the name of this painting, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he smiled even more proudly.
Obviously, just from the name of this painting, it can be judged that the content of the painting must be for Dong Zhuo's merits, and it is thought that Liu Biao specially invited someone to paint it to shoot Dong Zhuo's fart.
In terms of value, this painting is naturally inferior to those jade bowls and gold bottles, but the name and content of this painting are very popular with Dong Zhuo.
"Quick, unfold it and let Bengong take a look." Dong Zhuo couldn't wait to shout.
Wu Fu hurriedly spread the picture scroll on the desk, and in front of Dong Zhuo, it unfolded little by little, and the picture of Dong Zhuo being majestic and conquering all directions came into view one by one.
Dong Zhuo is happier the more he laughs, and he can't even see it with his eyes.
Su Zhe felt that something was wrong, thinking that these gifts for Dong Zhuo, he had personally counted them twice in advance, for fear that there would be any inappropriate gifts among them, and he would commit Dong Zhuo's taboo and give Liu Biao the blame himself.
He vaguely remembered that there were indeed a few calligraphy and paintings in it, but he didn't remember that there was such a picture of "Dong Taishi's Triumphant Rebellion".
"I should be right on the record, how can I have an extra painting out of thin air?"
Su Zhe nodded his forehead with his fingertips, his thoughts flew around, and suddenly, an amazing thought burst out of his mind.
Thinking about this for a lifetime, Su Zhe gasped, and before he could think about it, he hurriedly shouted: "Master be careful!" ”
The moment the words landed, the painting happened to be at the end, and a bright dagger appeared.
Wu Fu's eyes suddenly flashed with a cold light.
