Mentioning this, Chen Gong's eyes flickered, and there was a hint of sullenness in his tone.
"Xian Yun had several words with the lord two days ago and successfully destroyed the marriage between the lord and Yuan Shu. However, everyone in the city knew that the lord's daughter was getting married, so the lord decided..."
"I will betroth my daughter to you and conclude a marriage as a condition to win over Xian Yun!"
"..."
Damn it!
Good guy!
What a great guy!
Lin Zhe was stunned for a moment.
Does this count as digging a hole for yourself?
No wonder this girl Lu Lingqi hasn’t come to see me these days. It’s because of this!
Although there were not many restrictions on women in the Eastern Han Dynasty, women from aristocratic families were still relatively traditional.
For example, Lu Lingqi secretly brought food to Lin Zhe a few days ago, which was quite out of bounds.
If a woman who has not left the court has a private meeting with a strange man, it will be inconsistent with etiquette no matter how you look at it.
That is to say, as a military commander, Lu Bu was not from one of those aristocratic families, and there were not so many rules in the palace, so he did not pursue the case.
However, now that he has planned to betroth her to Lin Zhe, Lu Bu naturally cannot let that girl do whatever he wants.
but...
Lin Zhe really didn't know what to say at this time.
When it comes to life-long matters, why doesn't anyone ask his opinion?
To be honest, Lin Zhe does have a good impression of this girl Lu Lingqi.
After all, this girl has a good figure, outstanding appearance, and is able to resist and fight. Even in her previous life, she was a rare good match.
However, Lin Zhe was a man in two lifetimes. What kind of woman has he not seen before?
He really couldn't do anything to a little girl like this.
How old is this girl?
fourteen?
Or fifteen?
Full of guilt...
"no!"
Lin Zheyi refused categorically.
"Zhen Ning will never marry into the Lu family even if he dies!"
Chen Gong shook his head and said: "If you are not allowed to marry me, the lord will personally send Zhang Liao and Gao Shun to send his daughter to you!"
"Since ancient times, getting married has been the order of the parents and the word of the matchmaker. Now my parents are living abroad..."
"The palace has investigated, and I'm afraid your parents are no longer alive, and as for the matchmaker, the lord specifically asked Chen Yuanlong's father, Chen Gui, to be the matchmaker..."
"Then there are no three books and six etiquette required when getting married?"
"My lord has also ordered people to prepare it for you!"
"..."
Seeing Chen Gong who was so well prepared, Lin Zhe couldn't help but said angrily: "Am I still not in charge of my own marriage?"
"Even if I don't marry, what can Lu Bu do to me?"
Lin Zhe was already quite crazy at this time and even started to call Lu Bu by his first name.
Chen Gong couldn't help but feel proud. He had been very angry these days. He had already made a comprehensive plan. Who would have thought that Lin Zhe's sudden intervention would disrupt all his plans.
Now that he could see Lin Zhe deflated, he felt very happy.
"Not marrying?"
"Do you have a choice?"
Chen Gong laughed sarcastically and said mockingly: "Didn't you say that my lord is domineering? This can be considered to confirm what you said..."
"Moreover, if you marry the lord's daughter, wouldn't it just promote the alliance between the lord and the envoy?"
"Now that you have come to Xiapi as the envoy of Duke Xuande, you are representing Duke Xuande. If you refuse, you will be rejecting the Lord's kindness."
"I don't want my lord to be in an alliance with Yuan Shu, and I don't want to get involved with my lord. How can there be such a good thing in the world?!"
"Uh...my lord..."
Hearing Chen Gong mention Liu Bei, Lin Zhe gradually began to calm down.
Indeed, according to Chen Gong, this move is indeed conducive to the alliance between the lord and Lu Bu. If it makes the two families work together, it is not a bad thing.
but...
This is not a good thing for Lin Zhe!
He also plans to design a plan to capture Lu Bu's soldiers and horses!
If he really gets married to Lu Lingqi, how will he deal with the relationship between Liu Bei and Lu Bu?
Why did he have the nerve to do it?
"What? Is it already difficult to make a choice?"
Chen Gong looked at the absent-minded Lin Zhe and couldn't help but feel a little complacent. He chuckled and said, "Gong might as well tell you that if you don't agree to this marriage, my lord will definitely doubt your previous words, and then everything you have done will be in vain."
!”
"As for forming an alliance, you have rejected the lord's overtures. Do you think the lord will still form an alliance with the envoy?"
"this..."
Lin Zhe's mind was a little confused now and he didn't dare to make a decision easily, so he had to send Chen Gong away and sit there quietly by himself, carefully figuring out the relationship.
"Let me think..."
"Let me think about it..."
...
...
Lin Zhe was a little confused now, his mind was filled with the pros and cons of this matter, and he didn't even have time to eat dinner.
When it comes to important matters in his life, he has no choice but to be careless.
Zhao Wu didn't see Lin Zhe during dinner, so he walked to the main hall. When he opened the door, he found a worried Lin Zhe kneeling in front of the desk. He was still mumbling something to himself.
"Sir...what's going on?"
"Chen Gong came today, but what did he say to Mr.?!"
Hearing this voice, Lin Zhe raised his head and replied: "Lu Bu wants to betroth that girl Lu Lingqi to me, and Chen Gong is here to inform about this..."
"What do you think about this matter?"
Seeing Lin Zhe asking him, Zhao Wu's face was filled with joy.
"Of course it's a good thing!"
"Sir, Zhao Wu is not talking nonsense. I have seen that girl Lu Lingqi. She has a very strong body and will definitely give birth to several fat babies in the future..."
"Okay, okay..."
Lin Zhe waved his hand and quickly interrupted what Zhao Wu was about to say.
I knew this guy couldn't see anything, so asking him was in vain.
Rolling his eyes, Lin Zhe also rejected Zhao Wu's request for dinner, and then kicked him out, asking him to be alone.
Another two hours passed.
Lin Zhe finally felt something was wrong.
There is nothing wrong with the marriage itself. If it is said that this move was ordered by Lu Bu, Lin Zhe would believe it.
After all, he is the choice for the best, both in terms of looks and knowledge. Lu Bu should appreciate him, and fortunately he only has one daughter...
So far, there is basically no problem with the deduction. The only problem is...
Chen Gong’s attitude!
Chen Gong is different from Lu Bu. He is a real careerist and cannot change his mind just because Lu Bu marries a daughter.
Although he tried his best to perform in front of himself, he first showed his dissatisfaction with the destruction of his plan, and then seemed to accept his fate and wanted to form an alliance with his lord, showing his approval for the marriage.
But Lin Zhe discovered a problem keenly.
A... quite a serious paradox!
That is - Lu Bu has no food!
This is a fact!
And it is the most original and core fact!
Chen Gong's various plans are basically based on this.
Then... Lu Bu's behavior now is very thought-provoking!
It is okay to form an alliance with the lord, but it must be a secret alliance, at least not openly.
On the surface, Lu Bu wanted to join forces with Yuan Shu, and then attack the lord together, so as to borrow food from Yuan Shu.
However, now he is marrying his daughter to him with great fanfare, and he has followed the three etiquettes as well. This attitude can never be hidden from Yuan Shu's spies in Xiapi City.
Once Yuan Shu learns of this situation, he will definitely not be able to easily supply Lu Bu with food and grass. Without food and grass, what is the use of the name of an alliance?
Lin Zhe would not be so stupid as to think that a few words he said casually could make Lu Bu easily fear life and death, or that he could easily give up his own interests and help him for free.
That's unrealistic!
If this happens, all we can say is...
Lu Bu, or Chen Gong, can get greater benefits from this matter than this!
