Chapter 142 Diao Chan is with Su Yu! Gao Shun leads the Trapped Camp into battle.
“Sister Diaochan, don’t be nervous. My husband is really a very easy person to get along with.”
"It's just...it's just that sometimes he's a bit too strong."
Cai Zhaoji smiled and explained to Diaochan what she had learned.
But the more Diao Chan listened, the redder her face became.
She's still a young, unmarried woman!
Of course, Cai Zhaoji didn't care about any of that.
Since we'll all be sisters eventually, it's better to learn some things beforehand than to do anything bad.
Evening
Su Yu, whom Cai Zhaoji and Han Dai had been longing for, finally returned to Dongjun.
Han Dai handed her daughter to Su Yu, who hugged her daughter a couple of times, teased her little nose, and then pulled Han Dai into his arms.
This scene undoubtedly made Diao Chan even more shy.
But Su Yu didn't care about any of that.
It's been several months since I last saw Cai Zhaoji and Han Dai, so I must miss them terribly.
Moreover, Han Dai also gave birth to a daughter for Su Yu, making her a great contributor to the Su family.
but.
Judging from Cai Zhaoji's eyes, Su Yu knew he would be busy tonight.
Han Dai already has children, so how could Cai Zhaoji, as the principal wife, not have any?
After comforting Cai Zhaoji and Han Dai, Su Yu finally turned his attention to Diao Chan.
It's not that Diao Chan wasn't beautiful, but rather that Su Yu, Cai Zhaoji, and Han Dai had a foundation of affection.
To Su Yu at this moment, Diao Chan was like a "beautiful stranger".
But soon, the two will become familiar with each other.
Su Yu knew that Diao Chan, who had been trained as a secret weapon by Wang Yun since her teenage years, actually longed for love.
Dealing with a girl like this requires a balance of gentleness and assertiveness.
Gentleness refers to how we interact in daily life.
Overbearing, naturally, refers to...
In short, the Su residence was far from peaceful that night.
The next day, Su Yu, Cai Zhaoji, and the other two did not wake up until noon.
……
When Diao Chan was reborn.
In Meiwu, west of Chang'an, an unprecedentedly grand "reading ceremony" is being held.
What is the "Viewing Ceremony"?
This is different from a military parade; it refers to the arrival of important figures to inspect the completion of a large-scale project.
The most influential person in Chang'an was, of course, Dong Zhuo, not Emperor Liu Xie.
At this moment, our Grand Tutor Dong is sitting in an extended and widened sedan chair, slowly making his way towards Meiwu.
The captain of the personal guards protecting Dong Zhuo was not Li Jue and Guo Si, nor Fan Chou and Zhang Ji, but Li Su!
Yes, it's Li Su, the one who gave Red Hare to Lü Bu and encouraged Lü Bu to "kill his adoptive father first."
Under Li Su's guidance, Lü Bu and his halberd embarked on a path of no return.
Stabbing one's adoptive father is something that will happen again once.
With Wang Yun's recommendation, Li Su successfully became the commander of Dong Zhuo's personal guards during his trip to Mei Wu.
As for the four generals Li Jue, Guo Si, Fan Chou, and Zhang Ji, they are currently busy suppressing popular rebellions in various parts of Guanzhong!
Suddenly, one of the sedan chair bearers stepped on a stone, causing his body to lean forward and the sedan chair to become unstable.
The other seven sedan bearers struggled to stabilize the sedan chair, and it took them a great deal of effort to get it back on balance.
Even so, Dong Zhuo, who was dozing off, was instantly awakened by this sudden change.
"Bastard!"
"If you can't even carry a sedan chair properly, what use are you to me, Grand Tutor?"
Dong Zhuo flew into a rage and slapped the sedan bearer across the face.
Feeling the burning pain on his face, the sedan chair carrier immediately knelt down and begged for mercy.
But Dong Zhuo's anger was not so easily quelled.
"Guards, drag this scoundrel away and tear him apart with five horses!"
"Yes!"
Li Su quickly led his personal guards forward and took away the coachman who looked as if he had lost his parents.
The other seven rickshaw pullers were all terrified.
But soon after, a new substitute driver filled the position of the original driver.
The number of sedan chair bearers increased from seven to eight.
Soon, Li Su returned from not far away.
Dong Zhuo asked him:
"Li Su, how far are we from Mei Wu?"
Li Su, with a fawning smile, bowed to Dong Zhuo and said:
"Reporting to the Grand Tutor, it will take another quarter of an hour to reach Meiwu."
Dong Zhuo nodded.
Two quarters of an hour isn't a long time.
Li Su's smile grew increasingly eerie.
Yes, it's not far off...
Half an hour from now, it will be your death day, Dong Zhuo!
Why isn't Li Su making a move now?
Because in addition to his personal guard, there were several thousand elite Xiliang soldiers around him.
Dong Zhuo was corrupted by the wine pool and meat forest and became greedy for pleasure, but that doesn't mean he was a fool.
For something as important as going to Meiwu, of course we have to bring the army with us.
"Boom! Boom!"
The sky, which was clear of white clouds not long ago, was suddenly shrouded in dark clouds.
The thunder roared, as if foreshadowing some major event that was about to happen!
Dong Zhuo frowned.
The reason he chose to hold the parade at Meiwu today was because he had asked the Director of the Imperial Observatory (roughly equivalent to the head of the meteorological station in later times) beforehand, and he was certain that today would be a clear and sunny day!
But now it is clear that what the Director of the Imperial Observatory said was wrong.
This undoubtedly made Dong Zhuo even more irritable, and he wished he could slap the Director of the Imperial Observatory to death!
Seeing that a light drizzle had begun to fall, Dong Zhuo's anger had reached its breaking point.
Fortunately, after walking for about twenty more minutes, the Meiwu New City appeared in the distance, just a stone's throw away.
This majestic city, so different from Chang'an, somewhat calmed Dong Zhuo's volatile temper.
"Grand Tutor, please wait a moment while I go and urge them to open the city gates."
Li Su said to Dong Zhuo.
Dong Zhuo nodded. At that moment, he was admiring the magnificence of the new city of Meiwu and had no time to argue with the city gate captain who was slow to open the gate.
Soon, Li Su turned back again.
At the same time, the gates of Meiwu New City slowly opened.
Dong Zhuo opened his eyes wide, ready to admire the wide and clean streets of the new city of Meiwu.
But the next moment, what came into his view was a portion of the Bingzhou army led by Zhang Liao and Gao Shun!
"What!?"
"Zhang Liao and Gao Shun? What do you mean by this? I didn't arrange for you to participate in today's review ceremony, did I?"
Dong Zhuo pointed at Zhang Liao and Gao Shun and angrily rebuked them.
The two generals revealed a mocking smile.
Immediately afterwards, Gao Shun shouted sternly:
"The ambition to be trapped in a battle will lead to death but not life!"
Upon hearing the commotion, the seven hundred soldiers of the Vanguard Camp moved and charged toward Dong Zhuo's sedan chair!
(According to the Records of the Three Kingdoms, the total number of troops in the Trapped Camp was seven hundred; the claim of eight hundred is a rumor.)
(Also, there is a claim that Gao Shun was from Yanzhou and worked with Chen Gong, but there is no concrete evidence to prove this so far. Therefore, we will stick to the traditional view that Gao Shun was a loyal and devoted subordinate of Lü Bu in Bingzhou.)
Sensing the intense killing intent of the enemy's elite troops, Dong Zhuo knew perfectly well that these soldiers had mutinied.
He immediately ordered the sedan chair bearers to move in another direction.
Several thousand elite Xiliang troops also performed admirably, immediately charging forward to engage Zhang Liao and Gao Shun's forces.
but……
The wide grin that stretched from Li Su's lips to his ears already indicated that things were far more complicated than they seemed!
