Three Kingdoms: My Strategy Simulator.

#848 - How dare you insult me?

The next moment, Gu Wei, with a look of urgency on his face, barged in.

This made Li Ji speak with some displeasure.

"Why are you so flustered? What's the matter?"

But Gu Wei's face was quite unsightly, and he said with his head lowered.

"Prime Minister, the King sent someone to the mansion to… to summon Diao Chan to perform a dance."

Instantly, Li Ji's expression changed drastically, and a strong look of anger surfaced.

Li Ji threw the brush in his hand to the ground, and shouted out of control.

"How dare he humiliate me like this! ?"

"Ah!"

He overturned the desk in front of him, scattering the unprocessed documents all over the floor. Li Ji let out an extremely complex roar of anger, seemingly containing countless sorrows.

This scene stunned Jiang Gan.

Gu Wei said indignantly, "Prime Minister, the King is really going too far. Who doesn't know that Diao Chan is actually the Prime Minister's…"

"Enough, enough, stop talking…"

Li Ji raised his hand to stop Gu Wei, and he swayed a little as he got up and walked out, saying.

"Return to the mansion, return to the mansion."

Seeing this, Jiang Gan took the opportunity to grab Gu Wei, who also had an angry face, and asked in a low voice.

"Who is Diao Chan?"

"Ziyi doesn't know?" Gu Wei asked back with some surprise.

"No, I don't know."

Gu Wei said angrily.

"Diao Chan is a dancer whom the Prime Minister rescued in Luoyang many years ago. She has a captivating beauty. The Prime Minister took her in and treated her like a adopted sister, and she usually helps the Madam with some trivial matters in the mansion."

"Although Ziyi doesn't know, there are many people in Shouchun City who know Diao Chan's identity. The King naturally knows. This time, summoning Diao Chan in the name of summoning a dancer is a pretense. The real intention is to humiliate the Prime Minister."

Jiang Gan widened his eyes and muttered.

"Is that so?!"

Soon after, Jiang Gan and Gu Wei accompanied Li Ji back to the Prime Minister's mansion, but Li Ji did not go to rest directly, but waited in the hall.

It wasn't until midnight that Diao Chan returned.

This was also the first time Jiang Gan had seen Diao Chan, who lived a secluded life in the Prime Minister's mansion. He was immediately amazed by Diao Chan's appearance. Every frown and smile showed charm and beauty, with the allure of Da Ji and Bao Si.

Upon seeing Li Ji, Diao Chan gracefully bowed and said.

"I have troubled my adoptive brother to wait. It is Diao Chan's fault."

Li Ji opened his mouth, and said with some helplessness.

"Have you suffered any grievances?"

"After Diao Chan performed a dance, the King still wanted to keep me for a banquet, but after I politely refused, he didn't make things difficult for me. Please rest assured, adoptive brother," Diao Chan replied.

Li Ji nodded, not knowing what he was thinking under his calm face, and then said in a deep voice.

"If you don't want to go next time, just refuse."

"But will this make the King angry with adoptive brother…"

Before Diao Chan could finish speaking, Li Ji raised his hand to stop her. "This Marquis has already implicated you, which is why the King summoned you. Just do as I say, and go and rest."

"Yes, adoptive brother."

Diao Chan bowed gracefully, swaying her graceful figure in the night, which made Jiang Gan, who usually had no pursuit of female beauty, feel dry and couldn't help but feel envious, secretly thinking.

'The Prime Minister is really lucky. Not only does he have a virtuous wife like Zhao Ji, but he also hides a beauty like Diao Chan in the backyard. No wonder he is unwilling to show her easily…'

As for what adoptive sister or not, with such beauty in his arms, Jiang Gan felt that even a saint would not be able to hold back, let alone the Prime Minister.

Just as Jiang Gan was thinking absentmindedly, Li Ji's voice came over, saying.

"Ziyi has also worked hard today. Go and rest. From tomorrow onwards, I will also rest in the mansion for a period of time. Ziyi doesn't need to come over for the time being."

"Yes."

As Jiang Gan responded and retreated, thousands of thoughts could not help but emerge in his mind, and he was even a little impatient to go back and report this matter to King Wei.

Liu Bei was suspected of indulging in pleasure, and Li Ji failed to persuade him. In addition to the outbreak of conflicts, he even secretly humiliated Li Ji.

Regardless of Diao Chan's background, after being labeled as Li Ji's "adopted sister", Liu Bei summoned her to perform a dance in the name of "dancer", which was undoubtedly mapping and beating Li Ji…

The only thing that made Jiang Gan feel a little regretful was that Liu Bei did not completely lose his mind and seize Li Ji's position as Prime Minister, otherwise, the entire Han Dynasty might be in chaos.

However, what Jiang Gan didn't know was that his every move was being monitored at all times, and the channels through which the secret letters he sent were also clearly understood.

Even before Jiang Gan had just left the Prime Minister's mansion, Liu Bei secretly walked through the side door into the Prime Minister's mansion.

After dismissing everyone around him, leaving only Gu Wei, who knew the truth, to serve him, Li Ji's face had long since swept away the resentment, and instead he was drinking tea unhurriedly.

After Liu Bei appeared, Li Ji quickly got up and said in an exaggerated tone.

"So it's the King who has arrived. Please take a seat quickly. I will arrange fine wine and dancers, so that the King can enjoy himself again…"

Upon hearing this, Liu Bei was so frightened that he repeatedly begged for mercy, saying.

"Zikun, don't tease me anymore. Aren't these all the words that Zikun asked me to say? I absolutely have no such intentions."

"If that's the case, then why did the King send a message to me through Gu Wei, saying that he would visit at this time?" Li Ji smiled.

Liu Bei smiled sheepishly, saying.

"Isn't it because I was a little uneasy and afraid that Zikun would blame me, so I hurriedly came to apologize."

"The King is overthinking it."

Li Ji shook his head, and then invited Liu Bei to sit down, pushing a cup of hot tea to Liu Bei, saying. "The King should drink a cup of hot tea to relieve his alcohol."

Liu Bei, whose face was still flushed with drunkenness, took it and said.

"Zikun is thoughtful."

The play was acted out, but the wine was really drunk, otherwise, even if he could hide it from Jiang Gan, he would not be able to hide it from Yuan Shu, Guo Yi and others who accompanied him.

And in order to gain Cao Cao's trust, Cao Cao would definitely secretly use Yuan Shu, Guo Yi and others who were not in harmony with Liu Bei to verify the truth of the news.

Therefore, Liu Bei really drank a bellyful of wine today, and even now he is still a little drunk and hurriedly came to apologize.

With a cup of sobering hot tea in his stomach, Liu Bei felt much more comfortable.

Seeing this, Li Ji couldn't help but persuade him. "Why does the King have to drink so much? Just let people change the wine into water and pretend to be doing it."

"It's okay, it's okay, how can we ruin the grand plan because of details?"

Liu Bei responded nonchalantly.

After all, Liu Bei also understood the principle of "drinking until seven points drunk and acting until people shed tears".

Soon after, Liu Bei contentedly took another sip of tea and asked.

"After Jiang Gan sends out the secret letter, does Zikun think Cao thief will believe it?"

"He will believe it, but he will definitely not believe it completely."

Li Ji replied.

Liu Bei nodded, deeply agreeing, and said. "Cao thief is treacherous and suspicious, and it is indeed not easy to believe."

"The King, don't worry, this is just a rumor to lure Cao thief to take action."

"Oh?"

"I have been secretly observing Jiang Gan for a long time, and judging from his actions, he is doing everything to gain my trust. Therefore, secretly stealing secrets is one thing, but the real purpose is probably to alienate you and me, the monarch and the minister."

Li Ji chuckled, and then said.

"Therefore, for Cao thief, this is a great opportunity, he will definitely design to let Jiang Gan take action, and then follow the trend, not afraid that Cao thief will not believe it!"
