As the sun set, Chang 'an City looked particularly peaceful and quiet under the red glow of the sky.
Riding on his Red Rabbit Horse, Lu Bu slowly passed through the streets and rushed to Situ Wang Yun's residence. Because they were in Chang 'an, Lu Bu did not let Dian Wei follow them. He only brought a dozen guards.
According to Jia Xu's intelligence, Wang Yun had not been in contact with any ministers recently, nor had he bribed any warriors. Therefore, Lu Bu did not need too many guards to follow him. That would be too ostentatious.
Looking at the busy crowd on the street, he thought that Chang 'an would be in chaos again in a few days. Lu Bu couldn't help but sigh. In every war, the commoners suffered the most. However, the outbreak of war was not something he could stop. Lu Bu could only help them to alleviate their suffering within his abilities.
When they arrived at Wang Yun's residence, they saw the Situ Residence, which had become much smaller. Lu Bu thought to himself," It seems that Wang Yun isn't doing well either. No wonder he's so eager to overthrow Dong Zhuo."
Wang Yun received the butler's notice and hurriedly went out to welcome Lu Bu into the central hall. Looking at the red and green clothes along the way, it seemed that Wang Yun had really put in a lot of effort.
The two of them sat down, and Wang Yun ordered the servants to serve all kinds of delicacies and wine. After toasting for a moment, Wang Yun sent someone to present him with a golden crown inlaid with pearls and jade that he had made some time ago.
When Lu Bu saw it, although he felt that it was beautiful, it was not that crazy. However, he still had to put on an act. Otherwise, it would not be easy to perform later.
Lu Bu's eyes lit up as he stared at the golden crown and said,""Such a treasure is truly exquisite and priceless!”
"Oh? Since the general likes it so much, I'll give it to the general.”Wang Yun stroked his white beard and said with a smile.
"Bu is just a martial artist, and Situ is an important official of the court. Why should he respect Bu wrongly?”Lu Bu greedily looked at the golden crown a few more times before turning his head to ask.
Wang Yun looked at Lu Bu and thought that he had fallen into his trap. He continued,"In this world, the only hero is the general. If the general is not worthy of this item, who else in the world can wear it?”
"Thank you, Situ," Lu Bu said with a smile. I won't forget Situ's kindness." After saying that, he started drinking.
Seeing that Lu Bu was already a little drunk, Wang Yun dismissed the dancer. "Go and call the young lady here to meet the hero she admires."”
When Lu Bu heard this, he knew that the main character was about to appear. He immediately pretended to be puzzled and asked,""Situ has a daughter? Why have I never heard of it?"
Wang Yun smiled and said,"She was a courtesan in my residence. She was smart and obedient since she was young." I'll raise her as my daughter. The day before yesterday, I heard about the general's fame and admired him very much, so I met him separately.”
After a while, two maids in green led a young girl in her late teens out. Lu Bu looked up, his cheeks were flushed red and green. She was dressed in a light yellow muslin dress that seemed to dance in the wind. It enveloped her body like a fairy descending to the mortal world.
Lu Bu stared at her with his mouth agape. He had already mentally prepared himself for the beauty to come out. However, when he saw her face to face, he was immediately lost in her beauty. He could not help but praise her in his heart. She was indeed one of the four great beauties. She really lived up to her reputation.
Wang Yun laughed in satisfaction at Lu Bu's arrogant attitude. "General, this is my daughter Diao Chan. What do you think?"”
Lu Bu stared at Diao Chan, feeling ashamed of his earlier absent-mindedness. However, thinking that this effect would be more perfect, he continued to admire the beauty's face and said,"She's the most beautiful woman in the world.”
Lu Bu's praise immediately caused Diao Chan to chuckle. When Lu Bu saw this, he was even more infatuated.”
Seeing that Lu Bu had taken the bait, Wang Yun said,""This child shall sit down and toast General. Our family is completely dependent on the general.”
Diao Chan had learned of Wang Yun's plan a few days ago, and she was very cooperative. Today, seeing Lu Bu so handsome and unrestrained, her heart was tied to him. Thinking that if he succeeded, his life would be in danger and he would not be able to see Lu Bu, he couldn't help but feel dejected. He sat down beside Lu Bu and poured a cup of wine, placing it in front of him with both hands.
Lu Bu pretended to be drunk. When he took the wine, he deliberately touched her hand so that Wang Yun could see it clearly. Seeing that Lu Bu was getting closer and closer to his plan, he immediately gave Diao Chan a look, asking her to drink a few more cups. Diao Chan thought of her miserable fate and also harbored some fantasies, hoping to have a powerful backer in the future, so she deliberately flattered him.
With Diao Chan's cooperation, Lu Bu quickly became drunk, and he couldn't even hold his food properly.
Seeing that the time was right, Wang Yun said,""I want to give this woman to General as a concubine. Are you willing to accept her?”
When Lu Bu heard this, he immediately stood up shakily and bowed,""If Diao Chan becomes my concubine, I will tie a knot of grass to repay Situ.”
Hearing this, Wang Yun said happily,"Alright, then I'll choose a good day to send it to your residence."”
Lu Bu smiled and waved his hand.""No need to trouble yourself. Today, Bu can bring Diao Chan back.”
After saying that, he ignored the two people's shock and grabbed Diao Chan's wrist, pulling her up. "I will repay your kindness, Situ," he said to Wang Yun. I'm drunk today and can't talk. In a few days, he would definitely send a big gift to Situ.”After saying that, he ignored Wang Yun's obstruction and directly called for the guards.
Hearing Lu Bu's shout, a dozen bodyguards rushed in and filled the hall. Seeing this, Wang Yun did not dare to say anything more. He could only wink at Diao Chan.
When Diao Chan heard that Lu Bu wanted to bring her back to the residence, she was shocked, afraid that he would disrupt her plans. Then, she was delighted. If he really brought her back to the residence, then she wouldn't have to sacrifice her body for that fat and ugly Grand Preceptor anymore. At that time, he could persuade Lu Bu to assassinate Dong Zhuo. Wasn't this better than a chain of tricks? Diao Chan, who was lost in her daydream, did not see Wang Yun's signal. Instead, he was led out of the residence by Lu Bu.
There were already bodyguards waiting at the door with the Red Hare. Lu Bu mounted the horse and pulled Diao Chan into his arms. He rushed to Wang Yun who had chased him out of the door and said,"Situ, there's no need to send me off. I'll take my leave.”After saying that, he patted the horse's back lightly, and the Red Hare immediately started running.
Looking at Lu Bu, who had left, Wang Yun slapped himself in regret. If he had known that Lu Bu was so shameless, he would have taken Diao Chan first. The more Wang Yun thought about it, the angrier he got. He looked at the servants who were watching in the courtyard and immediately cursed at them. He picked up a wooden stick and hit them with all his might. Otherwise, he would not be able to vent his anger.
Diao Chan was immediately woken up by the cold wind. Leaning against Lu Bu's warm chest, she couldn't help but feel dazed. Then, he began to think about how he should persuade Lu Bu.
Lu Bu lowered his head and looked at Diao Chan's furrowed brows, laughing to himself. Hehe, Wang Yun, you actually schemed against me. I'll see how you cry now. However, since you're giving me such a beauty, I'll reluctantly help you.
He hugged Diao Chan tightly and whispered into her ear,""Don't worry, I'll help Wang Situ kill Dong Zhuo.”
Hearing his words, Diao Chan couldn't help but be shocked. No one else knew about the conspiracy between him and Wang Yun. How could he be so clear about it? "I don't know what General is talking about."”
Lu Bu smiled and said,"You should call me husband." However, since you don't know what I'm talking about, then I'll take back what I said just now and stop caring about Situ.”
"No!" Diao Chan shouted and then said in a low voice,"General already knows. Please help my foster father get rid of the traitor. Diao Chan is extremely grateful.”
Lu Bu kissed her earlobe and said,""Don't worry, even if you didn't tell me, I would have killed Dong Zhuo.”
Diao Chan looked at him gratefully and said with a red face,""Thank you, thank you, husband." She had thought that Lu Bu wanted to assassinate Dong Zhuo because of her.
Lu Bu knew what she wanted to do, but he didn't expose her. He was thinking about how to explain himself when he got back. He had just accepted Cai Yan, and now Diao Chan was here. There was still Zhen Jiang waiting to be accepted. Lu Bu couldn't help but have a headache. Although his wives were not jealous, the speed of taking in concubines was too fast. It seemed that he could only let Zhen Jiang go for now and wait until he got rid of Dong Zhuo.
Diao Chan's clothes weren't too thick, so Lu Bu rode his horse and quickly returned to the Fuma's residence.
When Liu Jian, Yan Yan and Cai Yan heard that Lu Bu had returned to the residence, they stood at the entrance of the inner courtyard and waited for him. When they saw him, they all smiled, but soon, their smiles disappeared. They all saw the peerless beauty beside Lu Bu.
Diao Chan's appearance was not much taller than the three of them, but her natural charm made Liu Jian and the other two women, who were also women, somewhat moved.
The three of them understood that this beautiful woman must have been a concubine. No wonder Lu Bu had left in such a hurry in the afternoon.
Fortunately, they weren't jealous people. They followed Lu Bu into the house and greeted Diao Chan warmly. Diao Chan was smart and quick-witted, and she knew how to read people's faces. After deliberately pleasing them, the three women accepted her.
Lu Bu was delighted to see them getting along so well. She went to the bathroom and prepared to take a shower. Because he had to put on a show for Wang Yun, he inevitably spilled some wine. Now, he reeked of alcohol.
The servant girls knew his habits, so they helped him take off his coat and left the bathroom. He was not used to bathing alone, but he was too embarrassed to call Liu Jian and Yan Yan, so he could only go into the pool himself.
After soaking for a while, he got rid of the alcohol and fatigue and decided to go out. Unexpectedly, at this moment, a voice was heard."Husband, let me help you bathe.”
He recommended a book from a friend," The Romance of Wei Xiaobao." Just from the name, it was pretty good.
