After hearing Dong Zhuo's words, Lu Bu's heart suddenly sank.

He understood that he was afraid that something would happen.

Lu Bu glanced at Dong Zhuo hesitantly, raised his hands and said, "Wei Xu was captured by Sun Jian...it is true."

Although Lu Bu had only joined Dong Zhuo for a year, he still knew Dong Zhuo relatively well.

Lu Bu knew that this old man seemed bold and bold on the outside, but in his heart he was very scheming and deceitful.

In front of him, you must be careful with your words, careful with your steps, and cannot hide anything, so that you can eliminate his doubts and avoid being caught.

Since Dong Zhuo knew about Wei Xu's release by Liu Qi, the truth must be reported to him as soon as possible.

Thoughts are just for a moment.

Then he saw Lu Bu cupping his hands and saying, "Father, I heard that Wei Xu went to war with the last general and was trapped in the valley of Liang County. It is true that he was captured alive by Sun Jian. However, he did not abandon his integrity and beg for mercy. He insulted our army's power and was feared by the other army."

Because of the power of my adoptive father and knowing that he is my son, wife and brother, I don’t want to enmity with us, so I let him return to Luoyang and asked my adoptive father to see clearly."

Dong Zhuo laughed loudly when he heard this and said: "Of course I believe what I said. When I promised to treat you as my own son, I will certainly do what I say and never repeat it. I will treat you like my own son."

How can I not believe you?"

After saying that, Dong Zhuo stood up, patted Lu Bu on the shoulder, and said: "You have followed me for a year, and you have worked so hard, but now you are just a pavilion prince, and you feel a lot of grievances... Don't worry, after the capital is moved, I will

I decree you to be the Marquis of the County... The counties in Hanoi are close to your ancestral home in Bingzhou, and the food and towns are rich. When the time comes, you will be either the Marquis of Zhi, the Marquis of Huai, or the Marquis of Wen. My son will choose one of his own!"

Lu Bu breathed a sigh of relief and said hurriedly: "Thank you so much for your kindness."

But this tone is obviously too early.

But Dong Zhuo continued: "But I'm a little strange. Liu Qi let Wei Xu go. If he was afraid of my power, then why didn't he save Hu Zhen?"

Lu Bu: "This..."

Dong Zhuo added: "A few days ago, there were two military princes under Hu Zhen's command over at Yangren City. They returned to Luoyang with Hu Zhen's head. Wei Xu was originally going to be killed, but there was Shanyang.

Liu Qi heard that Wei Xu was a relative of my son, so he rescued him from Sun Jian's hands. The two military princes also lied about being related to Fengxian, so they were pardoned and not killed."

After Lu Bu heard this, cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

The meaning of Dong Zhuo's words could not be expressed more clearly.

He hurriedly said: "Father, I have been wronged, and I have never had any contact with the people in Jingchu. Please don't listen to other people's provocations!"

Dong Zhuo laughed heartily and said boldly: "How can I not believe you? Those two military princes who talked nonsense, I ordered them to be executed at that time. Please rest assured that in the future no one will dare to slander you at will and alienate you and me.

The love between father and son means that the father will make the decision for you!"

Lu Bu let out a long breath and said, "Thank you so much, foster father! Don't worry, foster father! I will definitely investigate this matter and give an explanation to my foster father."

Dong Zhuo nodded with satisfaction and said: "That's very good, go ahead."

After thanking him profusely, Lu Bu left the Nuan Pavilion of the Prime Minister's Mansion.

The smile on Dong Zhuo's face gradually solidified after Lu Bu left Nuange.

"Here comes someone."

"exist."

"If Lu Bu brings people to visit him later, he only needs to send a message to him... Do you understand?"

"promise."

Dong Zhuo pointed to the guard and said: "And...tonight, let Zhang Liao of the Luoyang Southern Army come to my house to meet me."

"promise!"

…

After Lu Bu returned home, he immediately sent someone to find Wei Xu.

Wei Xu met Lu Bu, and before he could greet him, he saw Lu Bu shouting at him with his face covered: "Then what did Liu Qi son say to you? You can't hide it, you must engage in recruitment!"

Wei Xu was shocked when he heard this, and trembled: "I, I didn't hide anything, it's just that he heard about the reputation of the Prime Minister and the princes, and was afraid of enmity, so he didn't dare to kill me..."

"How can it be so simple? How dare you hide it from me now?" Lu Bu took the wine cup in his hand and threw it directly at Wei Xu, but Wei Xu dodged it.

If not because Wei Xu was his wife's brother, Lu Bu would have stepped forward and knocked him down with a slap. It would have been more than just throwing him away.

"Did you know that not only did Liu Qi not kill you, he also spared the lives of two Hu Zhen's military commanders and let them return to Luoyang with Hu Zhen's heads. Now the Prime Minister knows everything. If you don't tell the truth anymore

, I’m afraid that both you and I will die without a burial place!”

When Wei Xu heard this, he was so frightened that he broke out in cold sweat.

"Are there two others alive? How can this Liu family boy be so cunning? It turns out that he didn't just leave me alone... Why didn't I know anything about it?"

Lu Bu gritted his teeth angrily and said, "Don't tell me clearly yet!"

Wei Xu didn't dare to hide anything anymore this time.

He then invited Liu Qi to drink with him, treated him courteously, and said that he wanted to make friends with Lü Bu through him. If Lü Bu didn't get what he wanted in the future, he could go to Nanjun and tell him all kinds of things.

Lu Bu felt a dull pain in his chest when he heard it, and almost had a heart attack!

It's really dangerous. If Dong Zhuo hadn't spoken out to him today, if these things were kept hidden, big things would happen in the future!

Lu Bu yelled at Wei Xu: "Why didn't you tell me about such a big deal when you first returned to Luoyang?"

Wei Xu said bitterly: "That boy named Liu is talking nonsense and wants you to go to Nanjun. How can I explain this to you?"

"Boom!"

But Lu Bu punched the long desk with his fist and shouted: "If you don't think about it carefully, then what Liu Qi said to you is clearly a provocation. If you don't tell me clearly when you come back, if he sends people to spread these rumors."

Luoyang, when the prime minister hears about it, he calls you over to give me a lecture. If you admit it, won't you put me in a desperate situation?"

Wei Xu asked anxiously: "What should we do now that things have come to this?"

Lu Bu hurriedly stood up and said: "The Prime Minister is very thoughtful, and it is useless to hide it in front of him! Although he will not be deceived by Liu Qi, he may arouse suspicion if he is delayed for a long time. Please follow me to the Prime Minister's residence quickly and explain everything.

Please convict the Prime Minister!"

"Ah?" Wei Xu couldn't help but tremble all over after hearing this.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Xiangguo, will you, won't you kill me?"

Lu Bu didn't say anything. In fact, he couldn't say for sure.

But it is no longer a big deal whether to kill Wei Xu or not. The key is not to involve Lu Bu himself.

If you die, just let your wife and brother die.

Lu Bu stood up and said calmly: "No, you are my brother-in-law after all, and I and the Prime Minister also have a father-son relationship. The Prime Minister will not make it difficult for you because of my face, as long as you tell the truth."

After saying that, Lü Bu stood up and, regardless of whether Wei Xuda agreed or not, picked him up and went straight to the Prime Minister's Mansion.

The two came to the door of Dong Zhuo's mansion, but Dong Zhuo's guards were waiting at the door of the mansion.

Seeing Lu Bu coming, the man stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, are you here to pay homage to the Prime Minister?"

Lu Bu said hurriedly: "That's exactly what happened, please let me know."

The guard said: "The prime minister ordered his subordinates to tell the prince that if the prince brings people here, he does not need to enter the mansion and can just go back on his own. The prime minister said that the prince and the prime minister have a father-son relationship. This is the instigation of the rats in Jingchu.

, the Prime Minister will never believe it, and will never doubt it. The Prime Minister makes the princes live well and feel at ease. In the future, father and son will still be father and son, and monarchs and ministers will still be monarchs and ministers."

When Lu Bu heard this, he froze on the spot for a long time, and finally sighed in annoyance.

Wei Xu said from the side: "How can the prince sigh? Isn't it a great good thing that the prime minister does not doubt the prince?"

Lu Bu suddenly turned his head and stared at Wei Xu closely with his tiger eyes.

The gaze was so cold and cold that it made Wei Xu's body tremble with coldness. He was as quiet as a cicada and did not dare to utter a sound.

"If you hadn't been my brother-in-law, I would have killed you right now!" Lu Bu said through gritted teeth, then turned and left.

Wei Xu froze on the spot for a moment, then turned to look at Lu Bu doubtfully, thinking to himself: What happened to me? Dong Xiangguo has obviously seen through this instigation plan and doesn't doubt you anymore, why are you still nervous?

Wei Xu didn't know Dong Zhuo, but Lu Bu knew his character well.

Dong Zhuo would naturally be able to see through Liu Qi's instigation plan, and Lu Bu was convinced of this.

But after Wei Xu returned to Luoyang, Lu Bu did not bring Wei Xu to explain to Dong Zhuo immediately, which made Dong Zhuo very angry.

This matter has nothing to do with Liu Qi. In Dong Zhuo's view, this is Lu Bu's own hidden agenda.

Don't you want to leave some fallback for yourself?

In fact, if Wei Xu had been willing to tell the truth to Lu Bu earlier, Lu Bu would never have made such a mistake.

But it is a pity that Wei Xu concealed something from Lu Bu, which caused Lu Bu to move half a step slower.
