My balcony connects the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 48 Misunderstanding
"Husband..." Cai Yan had tears in her eyes, feeling very wronged in her heart.

Just as he was about to say more, there was already a sound of footsteps outside the courtyard gate.

Hao Zhao walked in with a handsome man with thick eyebrows and big eyes.Seeing this, Cai Yan, in order not to embarrass Wei Cheng, saluted Dong Zhuo from a distance, then turned and walked into the room.

Wei Cheng also came back to his senses, looked at Dong Zhuo who was walking like a dragon and a tiger in front of him, and frowned slightly. Judging from his face, although Dong Zhuo looked rough, he was not a greedy and treacherous person.
"My lord, this is Mr. Dong Zhuo, Bingzhou Shepherd." Hao Zhao stood behind Wei Cheng, looking at Dong Zhuo vigilantly.

Wei Cheng nodded slightly, bowed his hands, and said, "Cheng has met Mr. Zhou Mu."

Dong Zhuo clasped his fists in a salute, and said: "Nephew, you are welcome. I and Ling Taishan are life and death friends. You can call me uncle-in-law or uncle. It is really a last resort to come here by chance. I hope my nephew will forgive me." .”

Wei Cheng was stunned for a moment, and Hao Zhao, who was on the side, briefly talked about the matter of being followed.

Wei Cheng looked at Dong Zhuo in front of him, nodded, and said with a smile: "Master Zhou Mu, why do you have to do this? Just let me know. Cheng is just a lazy person. Living in seclusion in the mountains is very leisurely. You are welcome to come to my humble house. It's too late."

Dong Zhuo's heart skipped a beat, the word 'my lord' was really unfamiliar, he knew that Wei Cheng still didn't accept him, even if it took Cai Yong's face off.He still had a happy face on his face, smiled and cupped his hands.

The two sat down separately, and Wei Cheng made tea himself.

Relatively speechless, after a cup of tea, Dong Zhuo couldn't wait to speak first.

He said: "Nephew, the situation in Luoyang is currently in turmoil. I heard that Shi Changshi is hiding in the inner court to plan a big event. The leader of the foreign relatives, the general He Jin, is at the time of his prosperity. Is there any conspiracy connection?"

Wei Cheng was stunned for a moment, and thought to himself: Don't you ask knowingly, why did you lead troops south to Luoyang, you don't have any reason in your mind?
After thinking for a while, Wei Cheng took a sip from his teacup and said, "The conflict between He Jin and Chang Shi has been going on for a long time. When He Jin was just promoted to the general, he was bullied by Jian Shuo, who was still a little yellow man." On the other hand, you said that an eunuch became the marshal of the Han Dynasty, isn’t that a joke.”

Dong Zhuo nodded with his beard. He had heard about it. Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty thought that Jian Shuo was strong and capable, so he trusted him and appointed him as a marshal. .

It sounds a bit nonsense, but it also proves the powerful relationship of the ten permanent servants. These ten people almost hold the lifeblood of the entire big man in their hands. From military affairs to politics, from the inner court to the people's livelihood, there is nothing they can't get involved in.

Wei Cheng put down his teacup, and said: "Now He Jin has summoned righteous men from all directions, and wants to make the Ten Permanent Attendants obediently give up their rights. As one of them, the State Shepherd must know the development of the situation, so why bother to ask?" I'm an outsider."

Dong Zhuo hurriedly said: "My nephew thinks too highly of me, I just don't know where the situation will go, that's why I've been lingering in Hedong for a long time, I don't want my thousands of brothers to follow me and die in vain."

At the same time, Dong Zhuo was secretly surprised.

He received the secret edict to go to Beijing, and He Jin's plan to kill the eunuch, the person in front of him seemed to know everything.Thinking of what he overheard in Wei's before, he was even more convinced that Wei Cheng had been in Luoyang for a long time, otherwise how could he know everything.

As for Wei Cheng, he has been paying attention to the changes in Dong Zhuo's expression since just now, seeing that he is speaking with sincerity, it seems that he really thinks about those brothers, but people can't help but give him a high look.

In fact, if Dong Zhuo did this, no matter where He Jin was or in the eyes of Shi Changshi, it would not please him.

For one thing, after all, he followed He Jin's instructions and went south, and the ten permanent attendants must see him as a thorn in his side.Secondly, he didn't really go to Beijing, and he did his best to help He Jin. If He Jin's plan succeeded, he would definitely not use it on him.

Therefore, it is a bit taken for granted that he is a treacherous and cunning person. At this time, Dong Zhuo had no idea that He Jin would be killed, nor would he know that he would just meet the little emperor Liu Bian who had fled in Beimang Mountain.

Wei Cheng thought to himself, even though he found that Dong Zhuo was not as bad as it was written in the book, he still wanted to avoid history from repeating as much as possible.

As for power, if the state of mind is not cultivated to a certain level, individuals will get lost in it.

Wei Cheng wanted to persuade Dong Zhuo to go back to Xiliang, but he didn't know what to say, so he would go back willingly.

After a pause, he said, "Master Zhou has the habit of reading books?"

Dong Zhuo didn't understand, so he shook his head. He is a military general, and he is busy with military training on weekdays. How can he find the time to read some books? Besides, he doesn't know many characters, and can only write some commonly used official documents.

Wei Cheng smiled slightly, and then said: "There is a biography written and compiled by Tai Shigong, which tells the life experience of Wenxin Hou Lu Buwei. If Master Zhou Mu is free, you might as well take a look, maybe you can learn something from it. inspired."

The second half of Lu Buwei's life was very similar to Dong Zhuo's. The ending of the two people is not the same, but it is also sad.Dong Zhuo was stabbed to death by his adopted son.

Wei Cheng is not an eloquent person either, so he can only show Dong Zhuo the fate of his senior, hoping that he can retreat in spite of difficulties.

As for Dong Zhuo, he came to Wei Cheng to clarify his doubts. He heard that there was a biography of Lu Buwei at this time, so he wrote it down, and planned to go back and read it to see if there was any enlightenment in it.

Next, the two of them tacitly chatted about some family matters.

Usually it was Dong Zhuo who was describing the humanistic scenery of Xiliang. Wei Cheng had traveled to the Northwest, and occasionally interjected, but he and Dong Zhuo chatted back and forth.After several back and forth, Dong Zhuo even felt that Wei Cheng also had informants in Xiliang to provide various information.

Because of many things he mentioned, for example, there is a kind of stone candle in Xiliang that burns at one point. If there were no people in Xiliang, how would Wei Cheng know where the thing was dug out from, how would he know that the thing was black and could be touched? Slippery liquid.

For this reason, Dong Zhuo tried again and again, but no matter what he said, it seemed that Wei Cheng knew a little bit, even those fan merchants from the Western Regions, Wei Cheng also knew a thing or two about them, and even more so, the scenery along the way of the fan merchants' journey to the Han Dynasty. He knew it very well, and he himself heard it from Fan Shang.

In just two hours, Dong Zhuo didn't know how many times he was shocked by Wei Cheng's unintentional words, but he knew that for the man in front of him, he should not be simply regarded as a son of a family, a strategist of Qianlong.

He suddenly thought of the book that Wei Cheng asked him to read. Inexplicably, he began to look forward to it, hoping that the book could really point him to a clear path.He has already begun to firmly believe that Wei Cheng will not let him read some personal biography for no reason!

Seeing that it was getting late, Dong Zhuo hurriedly got up and said goodbye.

He didn't come alone, and his subordinates were still waiting at the foot of the mountain. In order to prevent them from worrying about him and clashing with Wei Cheng's people, Dong Zhuo hastily resigned.

Before leaving, Dong Zhuo bowed to Wei Cheng and said: "The talent of Zhongdao is like a hidden dragon diving into an abyss. No matter what the situation in Luoyang is, I will never forget what I said today. If we can meet again in the future, I will definitely be with Zhongdao." Let's drink and talk, let's say goodbye today."

Wei Cheng was chatting happily. From Dong Zhuo, he learned a lot of interesting things about this era. For example, merchants in the Western Regions would buy a lot of brocade, silk, pottery, tea and medicinal materials from Dahan; preaching, and these monks drink and eat meat, and they also like women... I don’t want Dong Zhuo to leave as soon as I say, and I can’t stop him from asking him to stay for a light meal.

Sending Dong Zhuo to the foot of the mountain in person, Wei Cheng suddenly felt that this old boy was quite a nice person, he behaved boldly and never concealed himself when talking to others, otherwise he would not have been able to chat with him for so long.

After hesitating for a while, Wei Cheng finally reminded: "Master Zhou Mu, please remember that this world is ultimately dominated by the big men." Even if you can dominate for a while, you will not end well in the end.In the second half of the sentence, Wei Cheng didn't say it clearly, and hoped that Dong Zhuo could understand it after seeing Lu Buwei's end.

Dong Zhuo looked solemn, and solemnly clasped his fists in a salute, expressing that he knew.

Seeing this, Wei Cheng smiled reassuringly.

···
Let's say that Dong Zhuo and his party rode horses slowly in the mountains.

The subordinates will hesitate to speak several times.

Dong Zhuo was thinking about what he had gained today, and asked curiously when he saw this: "Wen Cai, but what's wrong, speak up when you have something to say."

Hu Zhen (character Wencai) scratched his nose and said, "Brother, that village just now is not simple."

Dong Zhuo was startled when he heard the words, and then asked curiously: "Why, how is it not a simple method?"

Hu Zhen said bluntly: "Let's talk about the cliff, if you look carefully, it is not difficult to find some traces of cutting with knives and axes. I took advantage of them not paying attention and checked it secretly, and found that there were arrows on several trees. There are also traces of fire on the stone."

"Oh?" Dong Zhuo frowned slightly.

Hu Zhen continued: "What's more, the clothes and swords worn by those villagers, when I was waiting for elder brother just now, I saw a villager cut off a tree trunk with a sword in his hand. The only explanation is that the sword is sharp enough to cut iron like mud, otherwise such a thick tree trunk would not be able to fall off so easily."

"What's even more amazing is their clothes. The young man who just sent the elder brother down, I saw him walk by a thorn tree, and the sharp thorns on the branch scratched his trouser legs, and he was unscathed. You Is it strange? The thorns of that thing are not simple. When we were training soldiers, I was often scratched and bruised all over my body. Ordinary clothes would be torn with a single hook. How could it be intact."

Dong Zhuo's expression moved, he nodded slightly, and said: "I remember it when you said that. The clothes on that young man are really strange. At first glance, they are nothing. When you think about it carefully, his elbow joints and the vital parts of his body seem to be They are all slightly raised, could it be that they are wearing inner armor?"

Hu Zhen shook his head and said: "It's absolutely impossible. If he was wearing inner armor, he couldn't move so lightly. Just now, my elder brother also saw that he fell off the rope ladder easily. If he was wearing inner armor, he must be so easy." Activities are not open."

Dong Zhuo nodded, his thick eyebrows gradually unfolded, and then he smiled with relief, and said: "It's normal, Wencai has never met Wei Cheng before, and he doesn't know what he is capable of, so I will find a chance to talk about it later, and just ask around at that time." .”

"Oh, it seems that big brother has a good harvest today!" Hu Zhen asked hurriedly.

Dong Zhuo laughed and said, "It's really rewarding. Zhongdao didn't make false claims with me, and he also gave me advice when talking about the situation in Luoyang... Oh, by the way, Wen Caike has read a biography called Lu Buwei?"

Hu Zhen was stunned, shook his head and said, "I haven't read the biography, but I know that Lu Buwei is a capable person."

Dong Zhuo asked hurriedly, "You know Lu Buwei? Come on, tell me what kind of person he is."

Hu Zhen recalled, and said with envy: "He is so powerful, he first sent the hostage Yiren back to Qin, and the Yiren became the king, so he was named the prime minister, one person under ten thousand people.

Then, he slept with a woman from another person, and forced the courtiers to support his son as the emperor. Uh, some people said that the emperor was not born to him, but that he just had an affair with the emperor's old mother.

The amazing thing is that later on the emperor really called him Father Zhong. Isn’t this the proper Taishanghuang? Anyway, he is a very remarkable man, a role model for my generation of men. I, Hu, admire such a great man the most in my life, hahaha . "

"There is such a thing!" Dong Zhuo was startled.

Let me be good, what does Wei Zhongdao mean?
Let me, Dong, read the biography of such a person, because I want to imitate him... Tsk tsk tsk, I dare not think about it, I dare not think about it.

But, why do I suddenly have a feeling of heartbeat!
Dong Zhuo held down his crazily throbbing chest, slept with the emperor's woman, let the emperor call himself Zhongfu, and ordered all the officials to obey... I, can I do it too?
"Brother, why is your face so red, are you okay?" Seeing Dong Zhuo blushing, Hu Zhen asked from the side.

Dong Zhuo came back to his senses, and said with an embarrassed face: "It's okay, just, cough cough, by the way, is there no news from my son?"

Hu Zhen replied: "Brother Niu led 1000 people across the river first, and agreed to gather at Mount Mang. He has ordered Hu Chi'er and Qiaozhuang merchants to enter Luoyang City to inquire about news. It must be only a few days. There should be news. Come."

Dong Zhuo Nong frowned slightly, thought for a while, and said: "In this case, let's cross the river and meet up with my son first. If it is as expected, it will be ten days and a half months. When the time comes, Luoyang City will be in chaos. , we just happen to be able to see a good show."

As Dong Zhuo's confidant, Hu Zhen naturally knew about Wei Cheng's 'prophecy', and seeing Dong Zhuo's words were convincing, he thought Dong Zhuo had received some reliable news from Wei Cheng.

So, he asked worriedly: "Brother, if He Jin is really dead, the world is still dominated by eunuchs, and we are just like before, only in a corner of Xiliang, what's so good about this kind of drama? "

Dong Zhuo smiled mysteriously, and said: "Wen Cai, Wen Cai, this is the gap between you and my nephew Zhong Daoxian, didn't you just say that Lu Buwei saved the other man, and the other man made him the prime minister, now He Jin is about to Fight to the death with the eunuch, not only Luoyang will be in chaos, but the emperor will also be in danger, if I just show up, I will save the emperor!"

Hu Zhen turned pale with shock: "This, this..."

A trace of longing flashed in Dong Zhuo's eyes, and he said in a deep voice: "Is there any kind of prince and general Xiangning? Why should he come and wave to me when he calls me..."
