Chapter 298 Conspiracy and Betrayal
On the tenth day after Dong Bi returned to Linjing, he received a letter sent by Dong Zhuo.

In a few days, Dong Zhuo will be 60 years old.

According to the old people, you can stand at thirty, not be confused at forty, know your destiny at fifty, and sixty sixty.When a person reaches sixty, it is a reincarnation of the heavenly stems and earthly branches, and he has to admit that he is old.As far as Dong Zhuo is concerned, 60 years old should indeed be celebrated.

Back then, when Dong Zhuo entered Luoyang, he wanted to appease all parties and had no time to celebrate.

After serving as a grand teacher, he ran into the alliance of the Kanto princes.After winning the battle, he fell ill again, and after recovering from the illness, he was entangled in various trivial matters.In the next year, except for Dong Bi's wedding, there was almost no celebration.Now that he is 60 years old and his son is promising, it seems reasonable to hold a banquet.

Therefore, Dong Bi didn't think too much, and readily agreed.

When the youngest son was born, he naturally had to take it to show his grandfather and great-grandmother; Wenji Dong Ji also took it with him, the old people would miss it.

Cai Yan had just given birth to a child and needed rest, so she didn't have to go.

Ren Hongchang was also pregnant for six months, and her belly was so big that it was really not suitable for long-term travel and exhaustion.

So Dong Yu thought about it and decided to bring only Dong Lu.After all, the three children need a woman to take care of them, don't they?

Dian Wei and Samoko...

Two people who are about to become Lao Tzu, you let them abandon their wives and travel long distances with you?
Although there will be no risks on the road, but thinking about it, I always feel unreasonable.Even if Dianwei Shamoke is willing to go, Dong Bi will not agree.He knew that when a woman is pregnant, she needs a man's consideration the most.

At this point, Dong Bi's thought made many people unable to understand.

It's hard to imagine that a tiger and wolf general would happily wash his son's diapers, saying that it was a rare joy.

Even Cai Yan couldn't understand it, but he just felt sweet in his heart.

Dian Wei and Sha Moke can't leave, but it doesn't mean that the number of people in Dong Bi's business will decrease.

The four little tigers of Dian's family wanted to go with Dong Bi, but they were so entangled that Dong Bi had no choice but to agree to them.

But when Dianfu Dianyou was about to go out, he actually followed two small oil bottles.

The big girl and the second girl have now become big girls.In Dong Bi's eyes, there is really no need for the two girls who are only thirteen or fourteen to talk about marriage so early, but in this age, it is normal for them to get married at this age.

The day before departure, Liu Wang's wife suddenly came, holding a wooden box in her hand.

Dong Bi couldn't help being a little surprised, "Sister-in-law, what's the matter?"

Without saying a word, Liu Wang's wife put the wooden box on the table, gently opened it, and then pushed it down in front of Dong Bi.

There is a roll of bamboo slips inside, which looks like it has been around for a long time.

Dong Bi picked it up, opened it, and couldn't help being dumbfounded...

"Sister-in-law, why is brother Liu still a member of the royal family?"

Liu Wang's wife nodded, showing a sad look, "My husband is the seventh son of Emperor Xiaojing, after King Jing of Zhongshan. Later, my ancestors also served as the Marquis of Zhulu Ting...... because he failed to pay the gold (zhou) on time, he was arrested. The title was cut. My husband’s grandparents have been living in Jiwu, and have been doing business for generations. This time when my uncle returns to Luoyang, I just want to ask my uncle to pass this genealogy to the royal family, so that these two girls, I can have an identity. Dian My brother is now the Marquis of Guoting, and it is considered a good match for the eldest and second daughters to marry Dianyou Dianfu. But if I can't return to the clan and recognize my ancestors, I always feel a little high in my heart."

At the side, Liu Bian took over the genealogy and glanced at it twice.

"Dong Qing, there is nothing wrong with this genealogy. If it is based on seniority, the eldest and the second are of the same generation as me."

Doesn't that mean that Liu Wang is...the emperor's uncle?
Dong Bi was dumbfounded!

When he made friends with Liu Wang, Liu Wang never told him his background.

I have been with Liu Wang's family for so many years, but I have never heard Liu Wang's wife mention this matter.

Presumably because of business reasons, I was afraid of humiliating the dignity of the royal family.If it wasn't for the big girl and the second girl to get married, I'm afraid Liu Wang's wife might not have come up with this genealogy.

no no no...

After King Jing of Zhongshan, he competed for Lu Tinghou?

Why does it sound so familiar? It seems to be a mantra that Liu Bei often puts on his lips in Romance.

Liu Wang, Liu Bei...

For a while, Dong Bi was confused.

He swallowed, "Sister-in-law, brother Liu's ancestor, do you have any other relatives? I mean, after he was deprived of his title, was he the only one who went to Jiwu, or all the clan members went together Where do I live?"

Liu Wang's wife was stunned!

He frowned and thought for a long time, "This is not very clear. My husband once said that Ding Xingwang was a member of Zhulu Tinghou clan, and they were just one of them. But after they moved to Jiwu, they never got along with their clan members again. touch."

"Dong Qing, Dong Qing..."

"Ah? What is your order?"

"What's wrong with you? It looks a little ugly."

Dong Yu forced a smile, said nothing, and then said to Liu Wang's wife: "Don't worry, sister-in-law, I will definitely hand this over to the emperor."

Nodding contentedly, Liu Wang's wife saluted, "Then uncle Lao!"

After watching Liu Wang's wife leave, Dong Bi chatted with Liu Bian for a while, and then Liu Bian went back to the palace.

Sitting alone in the study, Dong Bi was in a daze.

Thinking about it carefully, it seems that Liu Bei really never said that he is a member of the royal family.

According to the Romance, that is Liu Bei's invincible lore weapon.Lu Zhi didn't mention it, and it seems that Liu Yan didn't say anything about Liu Bei being a relative of the emperor when he left office.Could it be that Liu Bei is not Liu Bei?
In other words, isn't this Liu Bei the Uncle Liu Huang that Dong Bi is familiar with?
My thoughts suddenly became chaotic.

Dong Bi shook his head, put away the genealogy, and put it in a brocade box.

No matter how many, one less Uncle Liu, there are only advantages and no disadvantages, so why worry about it here?
The next day, before dawn, Dong Bi got up.

First, he reluctantly said goodbye to Cai Yan, and then spent a while with Ren Hongchang, letting her take care of him.

Let Dong Lu hold Dong Shuo in his arms, and take Xiao Wenji and Dong Ji into the cart.

Originally, Dong Lu didn't want to take the car, but because Dong Shuo was still young, he was afraid that he would be frozen, so he had to obey.

Dong Tie did not follow back to Luoyang, because he still had to train Anbu with Fazheng.

Apart from the four little tigers, Wang Rong Chengli and four snow ghosts accompanied him.Qu Yi's Beiwei army opened the way ahead, and Dong Bi led the trolls to press down on the vehicle.He straddles a lion-maned beast, and behind him is a horse made of white dragon sweat and blood, and a golden hammer for beating drums and urns is hung on the horse.

The horse is Yan Xing's mount, but it is taken care of by the lion-maned beast A Chou and becomes Dong Pi's pack hammer horse.

As for Yan Xing's pair of eight-treasure silver hammers, Dianman took his fancy.It's just that for Dianman, this hammer is a bit heavy.

Dong Bi disapproved of Dianman's use of the eight-treasure bright silver hammer before, which was a burden for Dianman.

But Dianman just liked it, so he had no choice but to put the hammer on the cart, and treat it as a tool for strengthening strength.

Yan Ming and Shi Huan were left under Dianwei's tent by Dong Pi to listen to orders.When Dong Bi was not in Linjing, Dian Wei took care of him.

With the help of Yang Xufayan, it will not cause too much trouble for Dong Bi.

So Dong Bi was also very relieved to leave, and after saying goodbye to Dianwei Shamoke in tears, he set off with a mighty force.

Above the city of Linjing, Sha Moke unexpectedly saw a man in his thirties.

I saw that the man was about seven feet eight inches tall, with a mustache, handsome appearance, and cold eyes.

"Boy Hu, what are you doing standing here?"

Sha Moke recognized the man at a glance, strode forward, and slapped the scribe on the shoulder, almost knocking the scribe off the wall.

"You ugly bastard, why do you move your hands and feet when you come up?"

"I only shoot you because I think highly of you. What does it mean to use hands and feet? It's a greeting. Do you understand the greeting?"

"Rude, rude!"

The scribe frowned while rubbing his shoulders grinning.

It's no wonder that Samok's slap like a palm fan is really not something ordinary people can bear.

Sha Moke didn't care about the scribe's words, and said with a bull's eye, "Kong Ming, are you running up to see my second brother off?"

The scribe was none other than Hu Zhao who was kidnapped by Dong Bi's men.

Wen Ting scoffed, "You have three brothers in your family, one is as ugly as the other, so I don't bother to give away your second brother. Besides, he tied me here, and I've already given him face if I didn't scold him. Send him away? Ugly Ghost, are you stupid?"

"You are stupid!"

Hu Zhao and Sha Moke scolded each other, but there was no anger in their eyes.

The two looked at each other like cockfights for a while, then suddenly laughed out loud, and the previous tension disappeared all of a sudden.

Sha Moke stood on the top of the city gate, looking at Dong Pi and his party who had turned into black spots in the distance.

"Boy Hu, why do I feel a little panicked when Second Brother goes to Luoyang this time?"

Hu Zhao glanced at Sha Moke in surprise, and sneered, "Panic? What are you afraid of... Your second brother is very brutal, 10,000+ people will be murdered if they say they are murdered, who can do anything wrong with him? I see, you are really a little paranoid."

Sha Moke shook his head, "It's not like this, it's not like this... Before the second brother went out, although I was very concerned, but I didn't panic. But this time, I don't know what's wrong? I always feel like something is going to happen. "

Hu Zhao was silent...

"Ugly ghost, don't you think there's something wrong with old man Dong calling your second brother over suddenly this time?"

Sha Moke stared bull's eye, "Boy Hu, what nonsense are you talking about?"

"Where am I talking nonsense?"

"Aren't you just saying that the grand master recruited my second brother to Luoyang for conspiracy? You'd better not use this kind of unreasonable divorce plan. This time I will save face for you. If my elder brother hears , slap you to death, believe it or not?"

Hu Zhao laughed three times, "You barbarian also knows how to divide? It's not easy... Hehe, it's a little bit better than before. But you are thinking wrongly, I didn't say that Dong Laoer will deal with you. Second brother, I just feel a little strange."

"Strange?"

"That's right... It stands to reason that Shuofang is initially settled, but there are a large number of refugees from the three counties in the north of Andingshi City who need to move to Shuofang. Farming, training soldiers... There are many things to do. Why do you want your second brother to come back at this time? Where is Luo Yang?"

"Nonsense, I want to know and ask you?"

Hu Zhao smiled and shook his head, "Don't worry, listen to me slowly. Earlier, it was rumored that Mr. Dong was not in good health... This time your second brother Yu Shuofang defeated the Xiongnu. It can be said that my Han Dynasty Since Dou Xian, there has never been a great victory against foreign races. Calling your second brother back at this time, I am afraid it is not just as simple as celebrating, um..."

When Hu Zhao said this, he suddenly raised his head and looked at Sha Moke with a very puzzled look.

"Could it be that Mr. Dong wants your second brother to take over?"

Sha Moke was a little confused, "Kong Ming, if you have something to say, just say it directly, don't beat around the bush, okay? What are you celebrating, what are you talking about? What are you talking about? Why can't I understand at all?"

Hu Zhao's face darkened, and he was silent in thought.

Just when Sha Moke was about to lose his temper, Hu Zhao suddenly said, "By the way, can you help me find out what's going on with Luo Yang recently?"

"what are you doing……"

Hu Zhao stared, "Why are you talking so much nonsense? If you ask me, you can ask me!"

Not to mention, when Hu Zhao stared at him like this, Sha Moke actually fell silent.

Turning around and about to leave, Hu Zhao said behind him: "Sha Manzi, after you find out the news, come to my residence."

"understood!"

Sha Moke ran down the city gate tower, rode on Danxi, and ran towards the Duhu Mansion.

He knew who to ask these things.

Dong Tie...

Since this kid became the captain of that martial arts camp, he has been mysterious all day long, and he doesn't know what he's doing.

But Sha Moke just knew that if he wanted to inquire about news, he should go to Dong Tie.

Blocking Dong Tie who was about to go out in the Duhu Mansion, Sha Moke grabbed him and dragged him to the corner next to him.

"Third Master, what are you really doing?"

Dong Tie's swordsmanship is unsurpassed, but it is not as good as Sha Moke's natural power.

Being dragged staggeringly, Dong Tie smiled wryly and said, "Third Master, why are you so mysterious and looking for a secluded place?"

"Xiao Tie, I want to ask you something."

Dong Tie calmed down immediately, having never seen Sha Moke speak so seriously.

"I will naturally say what should be said, and what should not be said, even if you beat me to death, I will not say..."

"Bullshit, I know, I know!"

Sha Moke scratched his head, hesitated and asked, "Do you know, has something happened in Luoyang City recently?"

"Why are you asking this?"

Shamoke was annoyed, and his fists were clenched.

"Just say it, you can say it or you can't say it!"

"Of course you can say that." Dong Tie was puzzled, scratching his head and said, "Luo Yang has nothing to do recently, but the old man is preparing for his [-]th birthday. Oh, I heard that many people have been called, besides the lord, there is also Chang'an Li Jue and Guo Si."

"that's it?"

"What else do you know?"

Sha Moke grinned and slapped Dong Tie on the shoulder, "No more, just know these things."

After finishing speaking, he ran away with a smile, stepped on Dan Xi and left.

Dong Tie was a little baffled by Sha Moke's actions, and thought: What happened to the third master today?God said.

However, Dong Tie understood a truth in being in charge of Anbu.

Ask what should be asked, and what should not be asked, don't ask.

Sha Moke is a very godly person on weekdays, and Dong Tie didn't take it to heart.

After inquiring about the matter clearly, Sha Moke hurriedly ran to Hu Zhao's residence.As time went by, Hu Zhao was basically peaceful, except that he refused to bow his head.And it's not a problem to live in the Protectorate's mansion all the time. Just a few days ago, Samoke wanted to move out, so he arranged Hu Zhao next to Samoke's mansion, which was also regarded as surveillance.

It can be regarded as familiar with the way, Sha Moke arrived at Hu Zhao's house, and rushed in without anyone notifying him.

"Old Hu, I found out!"

Hu Zhao was reading a book in the study when he heard Samok's loud voice coming in.

Helplessly shaking his head and smiling wryly, he let Shamoke into the room, and asked seriously, "What did you find out?"

Sha Moke immediately said what he asked, "Old Hu, what will happen?"

This guy is Hu boy when he is not needed, and he is old Hu when he is used, but Hu Zhao can't laugh or cry.

But I really like Shamoko's straightforwardness, so I don't care much about it.

He pondered for a while, and said softly: "If my guess is right, I'm afraid that Mr. Dong has the idea of ​​retiring. Let your second brother go back to Luoyang, I guess I want him to take over the Liangzhou Army and take over from him. Right, this is called superiority."

"Oh, isn't that a good thing?"

"Hehe, it's indeed a good thing."

Shamoke grinned and said, "Since it's a good thing, let's drink to celebrate. Hu boy, then hurry up and drink."

Don't look at Hu Zhaowen as weak, but when it comes to drinking, he is not inferior to Samoco.

The two drank from noon to dusk, and they were talking nonsense when they drank the Shamoco. In the end, Gan Yuniang had someone take him home.

But Hu Zhao seemed to have nothing at all.

He can drink very well, and he is the kind of person who drinks more, clearer thinking, sharper mind, and colder temper.

I always feel like I'm missing something.

Sitting alone in the study, drinking by himself.

Suddenly, he seemed to remember something, his pupils suddenly dilated, and Ji Lingling gave a chill.

"No, Marquis Martial Arts is in danger!"

He put down the wine bowl and stood up.But the moment he stood up, there was an indescribable expression of hesitation.

I am a scholar, he is a warrior...

Although Dong Xiping is cruel, I think what he did was right.But should I say it?

If you say it, wouldn't you betray the scholars?

Hu Zhao closed his eyes and sat down slowly...

After a long time, he suddenly opened his eyes: "Forget it, if you can escape this time, I will work for you, which can be regarded as repaying the favor of the scholar."But if you die, I will burn a pile of yellow paper for you, and live in seclusion in the mountains from then on.

Thinking of this, Hu Zhao grabbed the wine bowl on the table and drank the full bowl of dirty wine in one gulp.

He gritted his teeth, and said to himself: "Hu Zhao, Hu Zhao, don't be in trouble. If Dong Xiping is really the master of the Ming Dynasty as you imagined, he will naturally turn evil into good fortune, but if he is not, then He must be blamed for being unlucky. Well, for the princes of the Kanto region, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. If it really succeeds, the Dong family may not be spared.

I don't know what kind of thinking I am.

On the one hand, Hu Zhao hoped that Dong Bi would save himself from danger, but on the other hand, he did not want to betray the scholars.

In the midst of a dilemma, one bowl of wine followed another, and Hu Zhao was lying on the table, already drunk.
