How can I let others sleep beside my bed?
Originally, Dong Zhuo had wanted to attack Ding Yuan after he took over the Northern and Southern Imperial Guards as the General of the Guards.
However, Li Ru persuaded him to stop.
Just as Li Ru had said, the Bing Province Iron Cavalry were famous throughout the world.
It would not be easy for Dong Zhuo's soldiers to take down this tough bone.
Moreover, Ding Yuan had a Peerless General like Lu Bu under him. Even if Dong Zhuo won this battle, both sides would suffer heavy losses.
Therefore, Dong Zhuo decided to use Li Ru's plan to see if he could use it to make Lu Bu defect.
If he could persuade Lu Bu to defect, not only would this problem be solved once and for all, he could also take the opportunity to recruit the Bing Province soldiers.
In this way, not only would his strength not be weakened, but it would also increase by a level.
And all he had to pay was some worldly possessions.
Dong Zhuo watched as Lu Bu put on his golden robe and laughed,"
"Feng Xian is really a dragon among men! You have made such a great contribution. I will ask the emperor for a reward for you tomorrow morning!”
Hearing this, Lu Bu was overjoyed and said,"
"Thank you for your kindness, General Wei. If you do not abandon me, I am willing to worship you as my foster father and serve you!”
"Hahaha, good, my son! I have my son to follow my father, like a tiger with wings!”
After the morning court session the next day, the Emperor, under Dong Zhuo's advice, immediately conferred upon Lu Bu the titles of Cavalry Commandant, Zhonglang General, and Duting Marquis.
Because of his promotion, Lu Bu was extremely happy. He immediately held a banquet in the new mansion that Dong Zhuo had given him.
As a lobbyist, Li Su was naturally invited.
After three rounds of wine, Li Su was the first to raise his wine glass and toast to Lu Bu,"
"Fengxian, congratulations. I knew it.
With General Wei's fondness for Fengxian, as long as Fengxian was willing to work under General Wei, he would definitely soar!”
"It's all thanks to Brother Li's guidance. Otherwise, how could I have today's wealth?”
"Fengxian! You're grateful to such a despicable person?"
At this moment, a stern-looking man on Lu Bu's left suddenly snorted.
Hearing this, Li Su immediately turned his gaze to Lu Bu's left.
Seeing that the person who spoke was an old acquaintance of his, Gao Shun, he couldn't help but laugh,"
"So it's Boping. It seems that after not seeing me for many years, Boping has some misunderstanding about me.
Can you tell me, how did Su become a villain in your eyes?”
"Boping! Quickly apologize to Brother Li!"
"Fengxian! You're still speaking up for him! Do you know what your reputation in Luoyang is like now?
No matter how badly Ding Jianyang treats you, he's still your foster father!
How can you listen to such a villain and do such a treasonous thing?!”
"Enough!"
Hearing this, Lu Bu felt as if his sore spot had been poked, and he immediately flew into a rage.
When Gao Shun saw this, he shot a cold glance at Li Su. Following which, he cupped his hands towards Lu Bu and left.
"Fengxian, Boping was just excited. Don't blame him. I'll go persuade him now."
Saying so, Zhang Liao immediately followed Gao Shun's direction and left.
Looking in the direction Gao Shun had left, Lu Bu's eyes were filled with killing intent as he said coldly,"
"Gao Shun is really getting more and more impudent!
It seemed that he had been too good to him, so much so that he had become arrogant!
Otherwise, why would he humiliate me today?!
If it wasn't for the fact that he was from the same hometown, I would have killed him with my halberd today!”
After Zhang Liao left Lu Bu's residence, he quickly caught up to the furious Gao Shun.
"Boping, wait a moment."
"Wenyuan, why did you come out too?”
"It's all because of you, Boping. You shouldn't have spoken to Fengxian like that today.
We grew up together with Fengxian. It's not like you don't know him. He cares about his face and has a strong self-esteem.”
"I only reminded him to be careful of that Li Su!
Li Su was not a good person when he was in Bingzhou!”
"Sigh, Fengxian is still too passionate about fame and fortune. Otherwise "
Just as they were speaking, Zhang Liao's gaze suddenly glanced at a certain spot at the corner of Luoyang's street. Immediately, he could not help but frown slightly as he said,
"Hmm? Boping, look at that woman at the corner of the street. Doesn't she look familiar?”
"Which one?"
"The one in purple with a veil.”
Hearing this, Gao Shun immediately looked in the direction Zhang Liao pointed.
At this moment, at the corner of the street, a veiled purple-robed woman was purchasing supplies with a group of servants.
Gao Shun's gaze paused on the purple clothed woman for a moment, then he nodded slightly and said,
"I feel like I've seen her before. But I'm not sure because she's wearing a veil, but she does look like Xiaochan.”
"Let's go. We'll follow her quietly."
The purple-robed woman was bringing people to purchase supplies. Although Zhang Liao and Gao Shun were not close to her, they were not too far away either.
Therefore, the woman's voice fell into their ears.
At this moment, hearing that familiar accent, the two of them were even more certain that this woman was their childhood playmate Diao Chan.
Thus, unknowingly, the two of them automatically closed the distance between them.
However, the purple-robed woman seemed to have sensed their presence.
After turning a corner, the purple-robed woman suddenly disappeared.
