Three Kingdoms New Emperor

Chapter 65 There Will Be This Day
Chu Zhuang Wang Jueying.

As soon as these five words came out, Diao Chan and Lu Bu fought all over.Especially Lu Bu, the murderous aura around him couldn't help being aroused, and he attacked Li Ru beside him.But Li Ru sensed Lu Bu's murderous intent, turned his head slightly, and looked at Lu Bu with a cold light that seemed to be a smile but not a smile, making Lu Bu quickly restrain his murderous intent as if being stabbed by a needle, and there was an indescribable shock and anger on his handsome face Frightened and outraged.

Like the allusion of the white dragon fish suit, the story of Chu Zhuang Wang Jueying also comes from Liu Xiang's "Shuo Yuan".It is said that in the Spring and Autumn Period, the king of Chu Zhuang, who had been quiet for three years and became a blockbuster, had a banquet. At dusk, the wine was full and the lights and candles were extinguished.King Zhuang of Chu learned that he should not humiliate scholars with women's festivals, so that the rest of the people would all lose their crowns and get angry, and die happily.Three years later, Jin and Chu fought. There was a minister who was always in front, and the five joined forces and fought hard. The first defeated the enemy, and the pawn won.King Zhuang of Chu was surprised, but the man said that he was drunk and rude three years ago, and he could repay him wholeheartedly when he got this opportunity.

This story tells people that yin virtue must be rewarded with yang. From the literal meaning alone, it is not wrong for Li Ru to quote this story.

But when Li Ru said this in front of Lu Bu and Diao Chan, the meaning was obviously not that simple.At that time, the courtier was rude to the beauty of the King of Chu Zhuang because he was drunk, but now Lu Bu and Diao Chan have no entanglement... At least, it is impossible for the two people to know the entanglement between them.But Li Ru just said it like this, and the words fell into Dong Zhuo's ears, and the meaning could already lead to wrong and wrong.

Obviously, Li Ru has seen through the affair between Lv Bu and Diao Chan, and even began to coerce Lv Bu blatantly.Lu Bu felt guilty because of this, so he didn't dare to do anything wrong with Li Ru.Fortunately, although Dong Zhuo was born in the family of a county lieutenant, he has always been familiar with the scholar-bureaucrat's way of speaking with ancient events as a metaphor for reality. He just asked Li Ru in doubt: "Wen You, what is the matter of the king of Chu Zhuang's death?" What did you say?"

Li Ru smiled slightly. He was well aware of Dong Zhuo's literary attainments, so after glancing at Lu Bu and Diao Chan, he explained Quyi: "This is to say that the king of Chu Zhuang does not love beauties but values ​​righteous men. Smash the enemy with the blood of the neck. From this, the Chu State was able to become strong and achieve a great career of dominance."

Dong Zhuo was silent after hearing the words. In ancient times, wives and concubines were classified into different ranks. A wife can be said to be the mainstay in the court and has a prominent position, but maids and singers are nothing. It is common for nobles to exchange gifts.Although the status of a concubine is a little higher than that of a maidservant, it is still difficult for her to enter the court, and she also belongs to the ranks of giving gifts to each other.There is even a saying in "Book of Rites. Nei Ze" that "if the wife is not here, the concubine will not dare to be on the night", which means that after the husband enjoys the pleasure of fish and water with the concubine, he must drive the concubine out, and must not let her Sleeping with her overnight shows the humble status of a concubine.

Although Diao Chan was favored by Dong Zhuo, in terms of status, she was only Dong Zhuo's concubine.What Li Ru said is indeed an insult to Diao Chan, but the problem is that what Li Ru wants to do now seems to be these.

Dong Zhuo was hesitant and was secretly annoyed, but Li Ru brought up the matter of Chu Zhuang Wang Jueying in front of Lu Bu, so Dong Zhuo had no reason to reject it immediately.He could only look at the flustered Diao Chan reluctantly, and pretended to test: "Today, the old man promises you to my son, are you willing?"

When Lu Bu heard this, he felt incredible. He glanced at Li Ru in a daze, unable to understand why Li Ru would do such a thing.But he quickly realized that he was overjoyed: I was favored by Dong Zhuo today, and I was in charge of guarding Meiwu. What Li Ru did was really for his own sake.

He has great confidence in Diao Chan's ability to follow him.Thinking that he will be in control of the power in the future, with soldiers and horses in his hands, and Diao Chan in his arms, everything will be so perfect.I have climbed from a garrison soldier to today, isn't that what I want?
However, at the moment he was looking forward to the most, a sharpest sword pierced his self-esteemed but extremely fragile heart.Diao Chan's reaction at this time was very strange. She looked at the indifferent Li Ru in front of her, and then looked back at the seemingly calm Dong Zhuo beside her. Meaning, slowly opened the mouth and said: "Teacher, the concubine came from Situ's mansion. Although she is named Situ's righteous daughter, she is better than her own. The foster father sent the concubine to the Taishi. He promised to serve the dustpan, and the concubine has fulfilled his life's wishes."

After these words, Lu Bu looked ashamed as if he had been punched in the chest by a martial arts expert who was even better than him.But Diao Chan no longer looked at Lu Bu, and suddenly straightened her spine, letting her bullying Saixue skin and the bright spring on her chest be exposed to everyone's faces, and continued, "However, this concubine is I have become a nobleman, but the grand master suddenly wants to give a slave to my family, the concubine would rather die than humiliate me!"

Diao Chan almost screamed the last sentence.But as soon as these words fell, Diao Chan pulled the saber around Dong Zhuo's waist without any warning, and put it on her jade neck suddenly, with a little force from her right hand, a bright red blood line suddenly appeared on her long and graceful neck On top of it, the thread of blood, as thin as a red string, bloomed on her white and delicate skin, which was surprisingly beautiful.

"Oh!... My little one, what are you doing!" Dong Zhuo quickly snatched the sword from Diao Chan's hand, his face changed with fright, and then he hugged Diao Chan who was pear blossom and raining, and comforted him : "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, Wen You was just joking with you just now, don't take it seriously..."

When he said this, Dong Zhuo's eyes became extremely angry, and he glared at Li Ru who was indifferent.Unexpectedly, Li Ru's usual sense of knowledge and interest seemed to be completely out of order, and he said without knowing his life and death: "Grand Master, Ru is not joking. If you will..."

"What if you send the concubine of your family to Lu Bu?!" Dong Zhuo was furious, threw the sword in his hand at Li Ru, and cursed: "Don't talk too much about this, or you will be killed if you talk!"

Li Ru looked at the slightly trembling sword piercing into his feet, and for a moment it seemed that all the energy in his body was drained from his body, and he looked at Dong Zhuo sadly.It was a rare first time that he didn't even say goodbye, turned around and walked out of this bedroom.Even, at the moment he left the door, he, who had always walked like a shadow, staggered and almost fell.

After Dong Zhuo was furious and watched Li Ru leave like this, he suddenly felt as if he had lost something very important.But when I think about it carefully, I feel that I did nothing wrong.At this time, his hand had already touched Diao Chan's chest, and looking at Diao Chan's weak and helpless posture, there was a kind of pity that people couldn't help but melt into his body.The previous blaze suddenly ignited, and she didn't shy away from keeping the door open, so she threw herself on Diao Chan.

Soon, a shy voice came from this bedroom.In Dong Zhuo's rage of venting his emotions, the blood and tears of a woman named Diao Chan flowed.

It's just that Li Ru, who couldn't hear the sound at all, finally felt that he couldn't move.He stopped in a daze, and looked up at the clear and cloudless sky above Meiwu.The sky is peaceful, gestating the vitality only in spring.But in Li Ru's eyes, he seemed to see the gloomy and fierce winter clouds.

"We will die at the hands of women in the future..." Li Ru smiled slightly, and unconsciously said this sentence.

However, just after he said these words, he felt a gust of wind sweeping over his head.Ji looked back, but found that he was in a trance, and Lu Bu had appeared behind him at some point.The gust of wind just now was caused by Lu Bu waving the painting halberd in his hand, and the halberd swept off the Lun scarf on his head.

The huge sharp blade slashed across Li Ru's head, and Li Ru's scarf flew into the air lightly and delicately. Except for messing up Li Ru's hair crown, it didn't hurt Li Ru's oily skin.Then Li Ru saw the silver light flashing, and the huge halberd cut the Lun towel into pieces in mid-air—you know, with such a big halberd, the wind when it swings can blow the flying man's battle robe, but the Lun But the scarf was cut into pieces lightly, as if it was not under any force, and it seemed to be fixed in the air, not floating.

As usual, with Lu Bu's move, Li Ruding smiled lightly and then left in the air.But today, when he looked at Lu Bu's ferocious face that was trying to suppress his anger, he couldn't help but smiled wryly: "Does General Lu want to kill me?"

Lu Bu turned a deaf ear to it. Perhaps, at this time, he was actually only immersed in his own anger.Even, he didn't even understand why he wanted to cut Li Ru's scarf into pieces.He just tightly held the painting halberd in his hand, and Diao Chan's two heart-wrenching words echoed in his ears over and over again: house slave, house slave...

"Don't be impatient, the general will have this day..." Li Ru said leisurely without looking at Lu Bu again.
