Chapter 77 Dead End
At this moment, countless thoughts flashed through Xiahou An's mind, the strongest of which was to capture the king first, take Dong Zhuo down first, and then take hostage and flee from the Prime Minister's Mansion.
Fortunately, reason gave him the idea. Not to mention Dong Mowang, who was as big as a blind bear, and his adopted son Lu Bu in the hall, would not let Xiahou An succeed easily.
Although they usually call each other brothers, when it comes to the time to make a decision, Lu Bu will definitely stand on his godfather's side without hesitation.
If you can't force yourself, then you will only have the only way to bite to death.
Xiahou An determined that Li Ru had no conclusive evidence, and even if he brought Wang Shusheng to confront him, he was determined to beat him to death and refuse to admit it.
I thought of getting up and scolding Li Ru angrily, but found that the reason why I knelt for too long was that my thighs were numb and I couldn't stand up, so I pinched them hard and regained some consciousness. Xiahou An looked at Li Ru with a cold face: "Li Shangshu, what do you mean?"
Xiahou An did not get up, but fell into the eyes of others, which was a different scene.
After hearing Li Ru's name, other officials were all lost. This kid was brave and quiet as if an old monk was sitting down...
Many people were secretly amazed and admired the boy's courage and courage. However, Xiahou An was not aware that his legs were numb and he couldn't stand up at all.
"Isn't the meaning of the Central Army in this official language obvious?"
The smile on Li Ru's face became more and more intense. He stared at the young man and said slowly in an orderly manner: "After the thief I caught two days ago, some people could not stand the punishment. The general of the Central Army was the commander behind the scenes."
After hearing this, Dong Zhuo, who had no choice but to believe it, slowly turned around and looked at Xiahou An's eyes. The disappointment dissipated and was extremely fierce.
Wang Shusheng recruited...he recruited...
The nails under the table were embedded in the flesh, and Xiahou An was covered in coldness. He suppressed his body trembling, gritted his teeth tightly, and then clasped his fists with Dong Zhuo, but still said: "The Grand Master is clear, you have never colluded with the thief! Li Shangshu said so confidently, so he asked him to bring the criminal and confront him in court!"
"Taishi, the assassination of the imperial palace that night was a sword that Boyang refused to stop for you, and he almost died because of this. If he colluded with foreign thieves, why should he risk his life to save him that day?"
At the critical moment, Cai Yong stood up.
After him, Huangfu Song couldn't sit still, stood up and bowed, with a solemn expression: "Tai Shi, what Cai Zhonglang said is very true, the lower officials can guarantee it, and Boyang is definitely not a person who plots against the enemy..."
The two looked at each other, and both saw from each other's eyes that they had to save their nephew and student even if they were desperate.
The other officials sat still and sang melons silently.
Although Xiahou An is a kid who is popular on weekdays, they are afraid of standing in the wrong team and losing their lives when life and death are at stake.
As Xiahou An's father-in-law, Wang Yun, who should have spoken first, has not made a sound. His expression seems dazed and old.
He knew that Xiahou's foundation was not clean, and if Li Ru was found out, he didn't want to be implicated, so he chose to wait and see. When necessary, it would be impossible to abandon the car and protect the coach.
Dong Zhuo looked at Li Ru.
After Li Ru's eyes were stuck on Xiahou An for a while, he suddenly laughed when he saw the young man's eyes were as iron as iron and indestructible.
When he smiled, everyone felt a chill on their backs.
"I saw that the atmosphere was tense, so I was just kidding. Why should Lord Xiahou take it seriously?" Li Ru smiled very much. Naturally, he could not produce evidence, otherwise, he would have ordered people to arrest Xiahou An long time ago.
It sounded like this was just a joke, and many people breathed a sigh of relief.
Dong Zhuo's face also calmed down. He looked at Li Ru and scolded him a little, "Son-in-law, your joke is not funny at all, don't tell it in the future!"
Deep down, he liked Xiahou An very much. As long as this kid did not commit his own rebellion, Dong Zhuo would be willing to forgive him for his grace.
"Abide by the orders of the Grand Master."
Li Ru bowed and nodded with a smile.
This storm has come to an end.
"Everyone, drink with me!"
After executing the thief, Dong Zhuo was in a good mood. He casually scooped a cup of scarlet wine from the cauldron and tilted his head to pour it. The blood-red liquid flowed along the corner of his mouth and passed through his beard, falling to the ground with a slight slap.
When the others met, they all looked like earth.
"Why don't you drink, don't you give me the face?"
Seeing that no one came forward, Dong Zhuo's face darkened and forced the guests to come and drink.
Damn it or drink?
Everyone could tell this clearly, and in desperation, they had to bite the bullet and scoop the wine, and then swallow the wine into their stomachs like eating dead flies.
Xiahou An couldn't escape this level either.
Looking at the scarlet liquid in the wine cup, he pressed the violent surging between his internal organs, and raised his head and drank it all.
Dong Zhuo was very satisfied with this.
Many people couldn't bear it after drinking it. They held the trunks of the garden in front of Dong Zhuo, and arched their bodies and vomited, their faces pale, and they were as haggard as they were.
Seeing this, Dong Zhuo laughed loudly, and as he drank bowl after bowl of wine, he liked to look down on these weak creatures, and he was not astray as he surrendered to the power of this Grand Master.
The banquet lasted until the evening, until Dong Zhuo left the scene drunk and everyone dispersed.
No one wants to stay here for an extra second, and they all leave the house as if they are escaping.
It seems that this is the purgatory of the earth.
The guests dispersed.
After leaving the Prime Minister's Mansion, Li Ru made a quick step and a big stone was removed from his heart.
The deputy general who followed the side was puzzled and asked respectfully: "Sir, the prisoner in the prison obviously did not identify Lord Xiahou, why are you..."
Li Ru's lips curled up, and a hint of brilliance appeared: "Two days ago, Xiahou An privately asked Tian Jing to ask the prisoner where he was detained. He thought I didn't know. If there was no ghost in his heart, why didn't he come to ask me? This would be suspicious."
"So I took the opportunity to test today and wanted to see how he reacted."
"Then have you got any results?" The deputy general continued to ask curiously.
"It seems that he is indeed unaware of it."
Li Ru's eyes were restrained and he gave his own judgment. Even an old ghost like Zhang Wen was cheated out. He was a young boy under twenty, and he could not have such a deep cunning.
Li Ru was deeply convinced of this.
"The master is right, but Xiahou An is highly valued by the Grand Master, and Cai Zhonglang and Huangfu support him. Now that you offended him, I'm afraid..." The deputy general looked worried. He heard from other places that Xiahou An was not a good person to mess with. He heard that in his anger, he even killed the prince of the county magistrate in the downtown city.
"Hmph, I have to be trusted by the Grand Master. Even if he has great skills, what can he do to me?"
Li Ru sneered, not afraid of Xiahou An taking revenge.
As for Xiahou An, on a nearby street corner after leaving the mansion, he found Xu Chu who had been squatting here.
"Master, why are you so pale?"
Seeing that Xiahou An's expression was wrong, Xu Chu quickly reached out to help him. After touching him, he found that his lord's hands and feet were also cold.
I went there again, and Xiahouan has not recovered yet.
He said to Xu Chu weakly: "Zhongkang, squat down and carry me on your back."
Xu Chu squatted down honestly. It was the first time he had seen his lord who was not afraid of being so scared.
It was not until he lay on Xu Chu's increasingly widened back that Xiahou An felt much more at ease.
"What's wrong with your lord?"
Xu Chu, who carried Xiahou An on his back, turned around and asked.
