"Since he wants fame so much, then we'll give him a monstrous achievement.”
"On the one hand, we will appease him, convey our goodwill to him, ease the relationship between us, and tell him not to become enemies with us.”
"It won't be too late to deal with him after we've completely taken control of Luoyang and this burly man.”
"On the other hand, it is to sow discord.”
"We promoted Jiang Chen, but demoted the officials close to him.”
"This plan might not work on smart people, but not everyone is smart.”
"In this way, as time goes on, it will definitely cause the upper and lower levels to be separated.”
Li Ru had an extremely sinister smile on his face.
Seeing this smile, even Dong Zhuo, who had always been cruel and vicious, felt a chill run down his spine.
"Good plan!" Dong Zhuo laughed loudly.”
"Then let's do as Wenyou said and give him a high position that tens of thousands of people look up to!”
"Lord is wise!"
Li Ru raised his hand and bowed.
……
Xi Zhonglang asked Jiang Chen to leave.
The day before he left, Jiang Chen came to the Situ Manor to pick up Situ Wangyun's adopted daughter, Diao Chan.
What surprised him was Diao Chan's coldness.
Wang Yun and Diao Chan didn't have the strong feeling of being inseparable like before. Instead, it was more like a formality.
This made Jiang Chen feel that something was wrong, but he did not think too much about it.
He hurriedly brought Diao Chan back to his residence in Luoyang and did not pay much attention to her.
On the day of departure, Jiang Chen had Diao Chan sit in the carriage that had been prepared beforehand while he rode his Dark Stallion at the forefront of the army.
Jia Xu was wearing a green robe and a scholar's hat, riding a horse and following closely beside Jiang Chen.
Both sides of the street were already crowded with people, leaving only a path in the middle for cars and horses to pass through.
Many commoners who had only heard of Jiang Chen's name but had never seen him before stood on their tiptoes and kept looking at the handsome figure, discussing among themselves.
In order to avoid suspicion, many families who had met Jiang Chen in private did not come to see him off. Only Wang Yun came. As for the others, they had already greeted him in private.
Cai Yong had also arrived, bringing his youngest daughter, Cai Zhaoji, along with the people who were sending him off.
He frowned and looked a little reluctant.
He was grateful and respectful to Jiang Chen.
He was grateful that he had saved his reputation in front of the world.
He admired his attainments in poetry and rhythm.
Although he was still young, he had already revealed his extraordinary foundation.
She was not inferior to him, the daughter of Luoyang, especially in terms of spirituality and charm. Even he, a great scholar of the current era, was inferior.
Cai Zhaoji also looked at Jiang Chen's back silently.
She still remembered the shock that Jiang Chen had given her when he played " Ambush from All Sides " that day.
He still wanted to discuss poetry and music with Jiang Chen.
She did not expect him to leave so soon.
The distance from Jiang Chen's residence to the city gate was not far. In a short while, they arrived outside the city gate.
Jiang Chen got off his horse and cupped his fists at the people who came to see him off.
"After seeing you off for a long time, we must finally part ways.”
Wang Yun, Cai Yong, and the others also cupped their hands and said goodbye.
Jiang Chen took one last look at the few people who came to send him off, then spurred his horse forward.
Not far ahead was the encampment of his army. After meeting up with the army, he officially embarked on the journey back to Liangzhou.
Diao Chan, who was sitting in the carriage, gently lifted the curtain at the window of the carriage and took one last look at Luoyang City, where she had lived for more than ten years.
She also took one last look at Situ Wangyun, who had raised her for more than ten years but had treated her as a chess piece in the end.
However, to her disappointment, Situ Wangyun did not look at her from afar. Instead, he had already turned around and walked towards the city gate.
She sighed and closed the curtain, no longer thinking about those sad things.
Jiang Chen and Jia Xu rode at the front of the convoy.
Because of the existence of the carriage, they could not gallop on their horses.
He could only walk at a moderate pace.
Fortunately, they were not far from the army's camp. Even if they walked like this, it would only take them less than an hour.
"General, whose young lady is in the carriage?”
Jia Xu glanced at Jiang Chen and said meaningfully.
"It's Wang Situ's adopted daughter, Miss Diao Chan," Jiang Chen said.”
"He was afraid that Luoyang would be in chaos, so he asked me to take care of him.”
"Just looking after him?"
"What else?"
Jia Xu looked at Jiang Chen and said nothing.
Jiang Chen already knew what Jia Xu might say, so he kept his mouth shut.
"I see that the world is going to be in chaos. With General's ability, it's not difficult to make a name for yourself. It's just that…" Jia Xu continued.
Jiang Chen frowned slightly." But what?"”
Jia Xu directly raised his hand and bowed, saying solemnly,""General is still young, it's fine to have a concubine.”
"But please do not indulge yourself in wine and women.”
Concubine?
Addicted to wine and women?
Jia Xu was actually worried about this?
Jiang Chen held back the laughter in his heart and coughed lightly."Of course not. Wenhe is worrying too much.”
"That's good." Jia Xu nodded, but there was still one sentence that he did not say.
No matter how chaotic Luoyang City was, Wang Yun was the minister of the court and one of the three dukes.
With his identity and status, how could he think that he could not protect his children?
These aristocratic families had always thought highly of themselves. They thought that with their status, position, and background, Dong Zhuo would not dare to attack them no matter how arrogant and despotic he was.
However, Wang Yun had handed over his charming adopted daughter to the general.
This was definitely not that simple.
Jiang Chen also thought of the strangeness of this.
From the time he went to the Situ Manor to pick up Diao Chan yesterday, he had vaguely sensed that something was not right.
Before they parted, the two of them were still inseparable, but when it came to parting, they were actually much colder.
Moreover, when he left the city today, neither Wang Yun nor Diao Chan had even said the most basic goodbye.
This was indeed unusual.
In history, Wang Yun had once used a honey trap to lure Lu Bu and Dong Zhuo into falling out.
In this life, she actually used this trick on him, using Diao Chan's beauty to control him?
Jiang Chen narrowed his eyes, his expression uncertain. He was already 70 - 80% convinced of this guess.
He did not expect that Wang Yun, who seemed to be full of benevolence, righteousness, and morality, would actually use his daughter, whom he had raised since she was young, as a chess piece to tempt him.
So that he could sincerely serve the Great Han.
He really didn't know whether to say that Wang Yun was too loyal or too shameless!
Diao Chan was probably extremely disappointed in Wang Yun because she knew about this. That was why she was so cold when they parted ways.
Jiang Chen's expression was cold.
This old man, Wang Yun, really took great pains.
It was a pity that he could not get anything and had lost such a beautiful daughter for nothing.
