Chapter 197 The East Window Incident
Chapter 197
"Dong Dong Dong, Dong Dong." Lv Bu was sleeping when suddenly there was a rapid knock on the door, and soon Lv Bu was awakened from his dream by the sound.
"What kind of person is it? It's so late to call the soul." Lv Bu got up and roared angrily.
"The Lord and the Lord are not doing well. Madam has run away." Gao Shun shouted anxiously outside the door.
"Madam? What madam?" Obviously, Lv Bu hasn't figured it out yet.
"General, it's Cai Yan from Cai Mansion. Your future wife, she ran away." Gao Shun explained.
"What? Did Cai Yan run away? As soon as Lv Bu heard this, he seemed to have been poured a basin of cold water. He suddenly woke up, opened the door and Gao Shun greeted him and asked, "What's going on? When did Cai Yan run away? Where did you go? Lv Bu obviously asked with some worries.
"Not long ago, Cai Yan quietly ran out of the west gate in a carriage. As for where I went, I don't know about this now. I also just received the news, so I immediately came to report to the general. In the face of Lv Bu's loss of his wife, Gao Shun naturally did not dare to be slow, so as soon as he received the news, he immediately came to find Lv Bu.
"You said that he went out of the west gate. Who guarded this west gate? How dare you let my wife go? Don't you want to live?" Lv Bu wasted the boss's strength and finally wanted to marry Cai Yan. Now he has been stood up and will soon be angry with others.
"This subordinate has checked it. It is Cao Cao who is on duty at the west gate tonight." Gao Shun said.
"Cao Cao? That's strange. What does Cao Cao want to do? Although Lv Bu didn't know the purpose of Cao Cao's doing this, Cao Cao was by no means an idle person, so he must have done this. He didn't want to help Cai Yong or Cai Yan casually.
"Does Cao Cao also like Cai Yan?" Gao Shun glanced at Lv Bu and speculated strangely. But he soon denied, "No, Cao Cao doesn't look like a person who has to go out for a woman." Gao Shun took a look at Lv Bu here. His eyes were very clear, which means that Cao Cao was different from Lv Bu in front of him. He didn't want Lv Bu to be so lustful.
"Then tell me, why did Cao Cao do this?" Hearing that Cai Yan ran away, Lv Bu was already anxious. Although it can't be said that his intelligence is equal to zero, it is still a little difficult to concentrate on the problem. He can only rely on Gao Shun's analysis.
"Lord, who is most anxious about the loss of Cai Yan?" Gao Shun asked.
"Nonsense, Cai Yan lost it. Of course, I'm the most anxious." Lu Bu said.
"What will the general do in such a hurry?"
"Of course I will go out of the city to find Cai Yan. I don't believe where Cai Yan can go. I will definitely get her back." Lv Bu obviously didn't notice the meaning of Gao Shun's words.
"So, general, why did Cao Cao transfer the general out of Luoyang?" Gao Shun nodded and continued to ask.
"What? Do you think Cao Cao wants to transfer me out of Luoyang City? Lv Bu seemed to have caught something, "Is it true that Cao Cao transferred me to leave Luoyang to deal with Dong Zhuo?" Lu Bu suddenly thought of it.
"The general is right, and I think so too." Gao Shun said affirmatively.
"I don't know how Cao Cao will deal with Dong Zhuo? It would be great if he could succeed. After guessing Cao Cao's purpose, Lv Bu completely calmed down.
You should know that Lv Bu is under Dong Zhuo in order to deal with Dong Zhuo. Now if Cao Cao can really deal with Dong Zhuo, it will be too beneficial to Lv Bu. It will help Lv Bu save a lot of trouble, and Lv Bu doesn't have to carry the notoriety of killing his father here. So now Lv Bu suddenly felt a little kind to Cao Cao, and even wanted to help Cao Cao complete Cao Cao's plan.
"Does the general want to help Cao Cao and deal with Dong Zhuo together?" Gao Shun obviously saw what Lv Bu meant in his heart and said.
"Ha ha ha, you and I are really good brothers. You can see what I think, so you can tell me what to do." Lv Bu didn't mind that Gao Shun saw his idea and asked directly.
"I think that the general doesn't have to worry, so as not to be self-defeating. If the general goes to cooperate with Cao Cao now, maybe Cao Cao thinks that the matter has been exposed and runs away." Gao Shun suggested.
"Ye, that's what you said. I, Lv Bu, must have always played a disgraceful role. It seems that Cao Cao will become a hero again this time. Lv Bu said helplessly.
"It would be great if the general could see this floor. In fact, think about it, as long as Cao Cao can really kill Dong Zhuo, it is the general who benefits the most. Gao Shun changed the topic and talked about happy things.
"Well, do you mean that after Dong Zhuo's death, we will drive directly into Luoyang and take over everything about Dong Zhuo?" Naturally, Lv Bu also saw the meaning of Gao Shun.
"Yes, if the general can do this, it will be much more beneficial whether it is the Zhongxing Dahan or the achievement of the tyrant." Gao Shundao.
"Haha, General Gao, don't dream. Although it's night now, your dream is still too unrealistic. Let's see what Cao Cao will do next. Lv Bu laughed and obviously didn't want to say those illusory things anymore.
What does the general mean?" Gao Shun asked.
"If Cao Cao really wants to transfer me to leave, he will tell me about Cai Yan's departure at the appropriate time. You send someone out early tomorrow morning to find out Cai Yan's whereabouts for me and protect Cai Yan's safety by the way. I'd like to see how Cao Cao will sing this play. Lv Bu had made up his mind, so he said quietly.
"Yes, General, don't worry. When Cai Yan left Luoyang, one of my attendants had been under the carriage. As long as the gate opens tomorrow, will my people soon find their car? I will definitely help the general take good care of his wife." Gao Shun said confidently.
"Bear by the way, I heard that Cai Yan has a marriage contract with the Wei family in Hanoi. If Cai Yan arrives in Hanoi, you know what to do." Suddenly, Lv Bu thought that Cai Yan might go to Wei's house, so he said.
"The general rest assured that even if the general's wife arrived in Hanoi. I will never get to the Wei family." Gao Shun knew that Lv Bu attached great importance to Cai Yan, so he naturally dared not be careless.
"Okay, you can go out of the city early tomorrow morning and remember to send me a letter at any time." After saying that, Lv Bu yawned, then sent Gao Shun away and continued to sleep.
The next day, Lv Bu waited at home for a day and did not see Cao Cao Cao's behavior. The news from Gao Shun also proved Lv Bu's speculation that Cai Yan really went all the way to Hanoi. However, with the protection and surveillance of Gao Shun all the way, Lv Bu was not worried about Cai Yan's trip at all.
At noon on the third day, Cao Cao estimated the time and knew that Cai Yan had been far away, so he came to Lv Bu's mansion in a panic.
"General Lu, Cao Cao is ashamed of General Lu." As soon as Cao Cao saw Lv Bu, he looked miserable with tears in his eyes.
"What is General Cao doing? You and I are officials in the same dynasty. If you have anything to say, you can say it directly. Why do you have to do this? Seeing Cao Cao's appearance, Lv Bu hurried forward to help Cao Cao up and said, "It will be my big wedding in a few days. Since General Cao is here, I will invite General Cao to come by the way." Lv Bu looked proud and continued to say.
"General Lu, Cao Cao is sorry for you." Cao Cao was helped up by Lv Bu and sat on the table beside him and said, "I was entrusted by the prime minister to guard the west gate of Luoyang. In order to get some money, I often took advantage of the night to walk some smuggled goods and make some small money. This was a common thing in the army, but I didn't think of it. Just a few days ago, when the goods were shipped, someone mixed into the shipping team. I After careful investigation for two days, I knew that the person who ran away was Cai Yan, the general's unmarried wife. Speaking of this, Cao Cao looked ashamed and lowered his head, but raised his eyes from time to time and stared at Lv Bu's expression.
"What? Do you think Cai Yan escaped marriage? What you said is true?" After listening to Cao Cao's words, Lv Bu pretended to be very surprised and stood up and shouted.
"Well, hey, the dark light was blind at that time, and my men didn't see it clearly. It's also time to infer from their descriptions. As for the reason, I'm also confused. However, the general's matter is a big deal, so the subordinate did not dare to hide it, so he immediately came to plead guilty. As for the false truth, General Lv Bu had to verify it himself. Cao Cao said in a panic.
"Well, Cao Cao, I'll ask Cai Yong to make it clear. If you are pregnant with my big thing, I will never forgive you." Lv Bu scolded Cao Cao angrily, and then immediately turned around with his own soldiers and went directly to Cai Yong's mansion.
Since Cai Yan left, Cai Yong has been at home, thinking about when the east window incident will happen and how to deal with it. However, after thinking about it, Cai Yong is still helpless in the face of Dong Zhuo and Lv Bu, father and son. As the saying goes: When a scholar meets a soldier, it is unreasonable to say. Although Cai Yong is talented, there is obviously nothing he can do to deal with Dong Zhuo and Lv Bu.
Cai Yong was in a trance when he suddenly saw a team of neatly dressed soldiers smashing the door and broke into it, standing around Cai Yong.
"General, you can't break in like this. My lord is resting. You can't break in like this." Lv Bu was dressed in gold armor and strode in. The old housekeeper of Cai Mansion next to him was trying to stop him. However, in the face of Lv Bu's power, the housekeeper really did not dare to come forward, so he could only loudly stop Lv Bu from breaking in, so as to remind his master that there were uninvited guests at home.
"My father-in-law, Lv Bu just came here to meet his wife in advance, and asked his father-in-law to make a convenience." Lv Bu raised his hand and bowed to Cai Yong.
"Well, this is my Cai Yong's mansion. Your Lv Bu is a good general, but I Cai Yong is also a Zuo Zhonglang general in the court. Why are you Lv Bu here? Besides, I, Cai Yong, have never agreed to my daughter's marriage. Don't call me father-in-law in the future. I don't have a son-in-law like you. It turned out that in order to win over Cai Yong and act as his own facade, Dong Zhuo actually joined the official for Cai Yong three times in a short period of time, so that the current Cai Yong is also idle with the general.
At this time, Cai Yong looked at Lv Bu and naturally understood the current state. Stretching his head is also a knife, and the lock head is also a knife. It is not as dignified, and it will not be underestimated by the world.
