Let’s talk about Li Fang and Liu Bian parting ways.
Liu Bian returned to Age without saying anything.
Feeling relieved, Li Fang hummed a little tune and returned to the doctor's palace with the steps of disowning his relatives.
As soon as he stepped through the door of the mansion, a guard came to greet him: "General Li, this is an invitation from the Zhang family. They have opened a new store in the gold market, specializing in the trading of gold, silver and copper jewelry.
Three days later, we are going to perform rituals for the newly opened store to ward off evil spirits and avoid evil. The person invited is Shi Zixuan, the royal Taoist priest of the palace. I heard that all the powerful people in Luoyang City have received the invitations."
"oh?"
Li Fang frowned, took the invitation, and smiled: "It's just the opening of a new shop, but you actually want to invite Taoists to perform practices to ward off evil spirits and avoid evil? The customs of the Central Plains people are really strange."
"Haha~~"
The guard smiled awkwardly.
They also don't understand the customs of the reckless men in Xiliang.
However, he did not dare to argue with Li Fang, after all, his own head could not withstand the sword.
Li Fang exhaled a thick breath: "Are the Taiwei and others going?"
The guard nodded quickly: "I don't know whether the Taiwei is going or not, but he must have received it, as well as Yang Biao, Huang Wan and others. It seems that only Li Ru in the Taiwei Mansion has not received it."
"oh?"
Li Fang couldn't help but frown.
He still has a certain fondness for Li Ru.
After all, if it hadn't been for Li Ru, he wouldn't have been able to solve Liu Bian's intentional homicide case in half a day.
This man is indeed very talented, and he can be said to have made many extraordinary achievements since he took refuge with Dong Zhuo.
Moreover, the achievements made by Li Ru were definitely not achieved by people like them in the army.
"Wenyou doesn't have an invitation?"
Li Fang frowned, feeling quite puzzled.
After all, anyone with a long-sighted mind should know that Li Ru's future is limitless.
For such a supernova, the Zhang family didn't send an invitation?
It's really strange.
"this......"
The guard pondered for a moment and finally nodded: "It should be so. The general may not know that Li Ru's reputation in Luoyang is not very good now, and many nobles are ashamed of it."
"Why?"
Li Fang didn't understand.
"How do you say that?"
The guard raised his head and said softly: "I guess it's because he took the initiative to join the Taiwei in the first place, and since he joined Sikong, Li Ru has repeatedly performed extraordinary feats, which angered them."
"snort!"
Li Fang snorted disdainfully: "These disgusting guys even invited a Xiliang team like me, but Li Ru was left behind?"
"Scholar!"
Li Fang shook his head and said disdainfully: "This is a scholar."
After saying that, Li Fang took big steps and went straight to the front hall.
The guard shouted loudly: "General, are you ready to go?"
Li Fang responded: "Go, of course you have to go, just backup the gifts for me."
The guard held up his hands: "Here."
*****
Yuan Mansion.
A kind-hearted old man was holding a scroll and reading.
At some point, the young man came up to us and bowed his head: "Uncle, now all the three men have been replaced. My nephew thinks that Li Ru didn't see through our plan."
Although Li Ru had already attracted Yuan Ji's attention, his sudden appearance was so involved that even Yuan Ji did not dare to act rashly. He could only temporarily observe the other party's reaction before making a decision.
Judging from some of the things the Yuan family secretly promoted during this period, Li Ru did not play a counterproductive role in them. He even expressed his deep affirmation of some of the decisions and even took the initiative to help.
The Yuan family was naturally satisfied with such a reaction.
It was precisely based on this that Yuan Ji concluded that Li Ru could be won over without affecting the overall situation.
"Um."
Yuan Wei put down the book, pinched a strand of goatee under his chin, and hummed: "Although this person is smart by nature, I have been setting up this game for many years, and it is not that easy to see through it."
Yuan Wei is still very confident about the game he has arranged.
After all, this is a situation that Yuan Wei has worked hard to achieve in recent years. The process is extremely complicated. How can a budding person see through it?
"Shiji."
Having said this, Yuan Wei raised his eyes to look at Yuan Ji and said softly: "The matter of contacting this person can be done now. You must try your best to arrange it properly and make sure Dong Zhuo doesn't know about it."
The old fox Yuan Wei naturally saw clearly that since Li Ru returned to Dong Zhuo, he had repeatedly accomplished extraordinary feats and had become more and more important, even far surpassing Zheng Tai and others.
If he can win over Li Ru, it will be of great benefit to his next plan.
Although Li Ru was not a disciple of the Yuan family, but as long as he was a scholar, the Yuan family would have enough attraction for him.
This is the fundamental guarantee for Yuan Wei to dare to actively win over.
"Uncle, don't worry."
Yuan Ji raised the corner of his lips slightly and said confidently: "In three days, the Zhang family will perform a ceremony for the newly opened shop in Jinshi, and everyone with respectability in Luoyang City will go there.
I have negotiated with Zheng Tai and others. They will urge Dong Zhuo to participate. As long as Dong Zhuo participates, Li Jue, Guo Si and others will naturally participate. However, Li Ru has no invitation and can only be alone. This is the best
opportunity.”
Yuan Wei frowned, then nodded slowly: "Well, I have also received this invitation. If this is the case, it is indeed a good opportunity."
"You go and try Li Ru."
Yuan Wei pinched his goatee under his chin, and there was a faint hint of conspiracy in his eyes: "If he can become one of his own, just let him go. If he persists in his obsession, find the right opportunity and kill him with one strike."
Hiss~~~
Yuan Ji couldn't help but gasped: "Uncle, what do you mean..."
Yuan Wei waved his hand to interrupt: "Shiji, please remember that those who achieve great things must be ruthless. I, Yuan Wei, have been planning this situation for many years, and it must not be ruined because of this person.
When we send people to contact him, some secrets will more or less be involved. Such people can be the best for us, but if they fail, they must be killed, otherwise the consequences will be endless."
Yuan Ji took a deep breath and nodded heavily: "Uncle, don't worry, my nephew understands."
Yuan Wei held up the scroll again: "Remember, the Yuan family cannot be exposed for the time being."
Yuan Ji bowed his head: "Here."
Immediately.
Bow and retreat.
After leaving the side hall, Yuan Ji stood in the corridor.
A cool breeze blew by, making him shiver.
Since the Yuan family cannot be exposed, we can only send others to come forward.
But who should be sent?
Yuan Ji pondered for a long time.
suddenly.
A familiar figure appeared in my mind.
This man had always hated evil and hated Dong Zhuo's behavior the most. Even in the court, he dared to challenge Dong Zhuo.
If he comes forward, he can at least test out Li Ru's attitude towards Dong Zhuo.
If Li Ru does not sincerely surrender, then it would be most appropriate for the Yuan family to come forward to recruit him.
Phew~~~
Parent Yuan said angrily: "Come here, prepare a car, I'm going to the palace in the south of the city."
