Rogue master in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 43
When Grand Master Dong Zhuo came, the birthday banquet finally officially started, and the guests were seated under the arrangement of the servants.

Dong Zhuo's status was high. Although Li Ru was the host tonight, he was also arranged to sit at the table, and Li Ru was present to accompany him.Dong Min and Situ Wang Yun lived together at the table. Although Wang Yun belonged to the leader of the royalist faction, he was also a minister of the court and attended the meeting according to the etiquette.Then Chen Wei and Niu Fu sat together, because the seats were set on the left and right sides of the hall, and the ones sitting opposite Chen Wei happened to be Gongyang Guo and Dong Huang.

Everyone congratulated Li Ru on his birthday, and Li Ru and Dong Zhuo sat at the same table, looking very energetic.He was in a good mood, firstly because of the celebration of the birthday banquet, and secondly because he was secretly happy to have found the Gongyang Kingdom that could restrain Chen Wei.

Li Ru obviously attached great importance to the Gongyang Kingdom, and after a round of toasting, he solemnly introduced the Gongyang Kingdom to the court officials and important military officials present.Gongyang Guo, who has been newly promoted as the deputy commander, thanked everyone for their congratulations. During this period, he behaved generously and did not lack the demeanor of a general, which was quite appreciated and praised by everyone.Especially recently, in order to make a name for the Gongyang Kingdom, Li Ru deliberately asked the Gongyang Kingdom to pick out several well-known generals on the grounds of competition, so that the reputation of the Gongyang Kingdom gradually became popular, and some people even began to use the Gongyang Kingdom Compare with Chen Wei.

"The two generals are all talented in civil and military affairs, which is the blessing of the grand master!" Tai Changqing Tian Chen smiled and smiled at the grand master Dong Zhuo at the head of the hall.Tian Chen was originally a small local official, but after he attached himself to Li Ru, he rose steadily and reached the Taichang position of one of the Nine Ministers.For Li Ru's party, he naturally spoke for his own side. He impressively juxtaposed the Gongyang Kingdom and Chen Wei, obviously elevating the Gongyang Kingdom.We must know that Chen Wei's status today is due to his actual fighting.The attack on Taoshan still did not affect Chen Wei's reputation in Chang'an City.But some people who knew the inside story gradually turned to the Gongyang Kingdom.

Taishi Dong Zhuo laughed heartily, and said to Chenwei and Gongyangguo with a smile: "Our family has always rewarded for meritorious deeds and punished for crimes. Our family respected Chen Wei's talent and let him lead the Imperial Forest Army. Now Li Ru recommends him. You Gongyang Kingdom is the deputy commander, I hope that you will not let our family down, and don’t lose the name of Kongtong Mountain.”

Gongyang Guo was overjoyed, and immediately attended and knelt down and said: "Gongyang Guo will definitely try his best to assist Chen in commanding and managing the Imperial Forest Army, and he will do his best to make contributions to the Grand Master!"

Dong Zhuo nodded in satisfaction.

Gongyangguo showed joy on his face, and walked straight towards Chen Wei. Although he was dissatisfied with Chen Wei in his heart, he still behaved as a subordinate in front of everyone, and said: "Commander Chen is outstanding in martial arts, and the battle of command is even more famous. Chang'an, in the future, Commander Wang Chen will not hesitate to teach and guide the young generals on the grounds of the Yulin Military Academy!"

Chen Wei looked at the unconcealable arrogance in Gongyang Guo's eyes, and knew that what he said sounded good on the surface, but in his heart he was looking for an opportunity to defeat and humiliate himself in front of everyone in an open and honest manner, so as to increase his prestige, so that he could turn his back on the right , Become the orthodox leader of the Royal Forest Army!
If before, Chen Wei was still quite guilty of the Gongyang Kingdom, but now he sacrificed his life to learn the "Seven Injuries Sword Art", especially after making extraordinary progress, he gradually built up his confidence.Facing the enemy who killed Shaoyao, Chen Wei did not lose his manner in front of everyone, and said with a faint smile: "I, Chen Wei, only use martial arts to kill the enemy. Since I entered Chang'an, there were two real battles with force. The first battle was the assassination at the city gate. Wang Fang, Zhang Ji was smashed and killed in the second battle, so my martial arts are all methods of killing people, and you and I are colleagues, so naturally we can't use martial arts to hurt our feelings."

Chen Wei's words immediately pushed the relationship between the two of them to the extreme, meaning that if they don't fight, they will die, and if they fight, they will be killed or injured.

But Chen Wei's words that he was going to fight to the death fell on the ears of Gongyang Guo, but he thought that Chen Wei was afraid of himself because of the Taoshan battle and deliberately avoided the battle.

Gongyang State had Li Ru backing him up, but he was full of confidence, so he cupped his hands and smiled, "My bosom friend, General Chen is my bosom friend. I didn't expect to meet someone here who regards martial arts as much as his life like the last general. Commander learning, even if the last general's skills are not as good as others or get injured or die, it must be the last general's own fault, and has nothing to do with Chen Commander!"

As soon as Gongyang Guo's words came out, there was an uproar in the field, and everyone whispered to each other.Although Gongyang Guo's words sound nice, they seem aggressive.Careful people can vaguely see that the Gongyang Kingdom obviously has the arrogance to "force the palace".

Regardless of ancient or modern times, officialdom is very taboo to commit crimes against superiors, regardless of superiority or inferiority.Gongyang Guo is the deputy general, and Chen Wei is his superior after all in terms of status.Gongyang Guo's words were almost tantamount to being disrespectful, but everyone saw Li Ru as if he hadn't heard it, and obviously calmed down Gongyang Guo's behavior in private.When he saw a trace of displeasure on Dong Zhuo's face, he spoke kindly for the Gongyang Kingdom: "Grand Master, Gongyang Kingdom is addicted to martial arts, so he offended Commander Chen for a while. But Gongyang Kingdom is obsessed with martial arts, even Kong Gong The head of Dongshan admired him very much, and even named him one of the five swordsmen. Recently, he has defeated several famous generals in our dynasty, and even General Fan was defeated by him..."

Instead of being angry, Dong Zhuo was delighted, and asked pleasantly, "Fan Chou was also defeated by him?"

Dong Zhuo finally began to pay attention to Gongyangguo, and took a few glances at Gongyangguo. He only looked at his figure, the strength of his footsteps, and the feeling of rock-solid footwork. He also showed appreciation on his face, and did not continue to blame him. Gongyang Guo offended Chen Wei just now, but instead whispered to Li Ru.

Li Ru is Dong Zhuo's son-in-law, and he is also his most important counselor. The relationship between Dong Zhuo and Li Ru is no less than the brotherhood with Dong Min. Because of this, Li Ru has the confidence to fight against Dong Min.

In the previous confrontation, Dong Min won the position of commander by relying on Chen Wei, which made Dong Min's power surpass Li Ru impressively.But Li Ru was able to get Dong Zhuo's attention, so he was naturally not an ordinary person. He immediately recruited experts like Gongyang Guo to resist Chen Wei's rise.Because of the hatred of killing his son and the struggle for political rights, Li Ru let the Gongyang Kingdom secretly assassinate Chen Wei. Although he failed to achieve his goal, the strength shown by the Gongyang Kingdom also made Li Ru admire and rely more on him.

"Chen Wei, Gongyangguo is your lieutenant general, and you are like-minded. In your spare time, you two should have a good time and learn from each other." Yang Guo said good things.

Li Ru and Gongyangguo looked at each other, and they both showed joy in their eyes.

Chen Wei clapped his hands and answered yes.This statement also shows that Chen Wei and Gongyang Guo will definitely have a chance to face each other head-on in the future!
When Chen Wei looked at Gongyang Guo, he found that there was a murderous intent in Gongyang Guo's eyes. He must have thought that his strength was far inferior to him.

"When I reach the fourth level of "Seven Injury Sword Art", it will be your death!" Chen Wei thought firmly in his heart.

After achieving the goal, Li Ru was overjoyed and clapped his hands, and a clear bell rang through the hall.

A set of instruments was pushed out, and then a musician played.The music is clearer and more beautiful.

"Although this music is nice, it is still the music of Miss Fengyu's pipa. If Miss Fengyu can play a piece, it will be the bliss of life!" The guests at the table chatted and laughed.

"I heard that Miss Fengyu recently took in a student to teach the pipa. It is rumored that this girl is astonishingly beautiful, no less than Miss Fengyu herself."

... Chen Wei listened to the discussions around him, he knew in his heart that Diao Chan was talking about, and he found some comfort in his depressed mood.

The music didn't stop, and then a group of nearly twenty singing and dancing girls walked to the center of the hall with light and rhythmic steps like butterflies wearing flowers amidst the beautiful and crisp music, singing and dancing.

These singing and dancing girls are all singing prostitutes in Li Ru's mansion. In the upper middle posture, wrapped in colorful gauze, exquisite and embossed curves are looming, coupled with soft expressions and sweet singing voices, they are extremely alluring. capable.

The eyes of the guests at the table all showed greedy eyes, which shows that lust is the nature of men.Because of Diao Chan, a beautiful woman who looks like a fairy, Chen Wei can avoid the temptation.On the other hand, in the Gongyang Kingdom, when faced with so many beautiful singers, they also looked indifferent to the situation, and even glanced at Chen Wei intentionally or unintentionally, obviously looking at Chen Wei with the same mentality.

The two didn't watch the singing and dancing, but they looked at each other, their gazes were like swords in mid-air, there was already a murderous confrontation between the two before they even made a move.

After the singing and dancing girl finished her performance, she saluted and left.

Thinking of the applause in the hall, most of the guests' eyes were filled with unsatisfactory expressions, and they watched those glamorous singers leave with reluctance.

Li Ru saw everyone's expressions in his eyes, laughed heartily, and said: "If any of these singing and dancing girls here like you, you can ask for them from the butler in the mansion, and I will treat you as a birthday present in return."

Li Ru's act of attracting people's hearts immediately delighted the guests present.Only Chen Wei and Gong Yang Guo were fighting secretly.

And just when everyone thought that the entertainment was over, there was another sound of wearing, and the faces of everyone showed curiosity and joy again, not knowing what program would be next.

At this time, two servants came out carrying a table with a Guqin on it.Then amidst the exclamation, a young woman Shi Shi, who was several times more beautiful than the previous singing and dancing girls, came over.I saw this stunning woman's face was covered with white gauze, her clothes were as snowy as snow, and her sleeves were flying up. Her beautiful eyes were as clear as autumn water, and her neck was as white as cream. was deeply shocked.
