PREDICAMENT

CHAPTER 101 - DONG ZHUO'S FURY

Niu Fu took the opportunity to say, This general had long said that Chen Lang would sooner or later rebel, but the Grand Preceptor just doesn't believe it!

Dong Zhuo was gloomy, and shouted at Guo Si: Guo Si, I will lead the two of you to lead the two of you to two hundred thousand, split it into the north and south sides to advance to Luoyang, you must capture Chen Lang and bring him to me, I want to punish him personally! Guo Si cupped his fists and replied.

Li Ru hurriedly said, Oh, Grand Tutor, this matter is still not clear. Should we wait until the situation is resolved before talking about it?

Niu Fu said snappily: It was news sent from the escape by Master Dong Min's trusted aide, could it be fake? The savior who had escaped said anxiously: My words are true. If there are any empty words, I am willing to be struck by lightning and die!

Li Ru hurriedly said, Grand Preceptor, it's not that this official does not believe you, but it's just that I should be more cautious in such a big matter. Otherwise, if there was any misunderstanding, wouldn't that mean that he would regret it for the rest of his life? "

Dong Zhuo felt that Li Ru's words made sense, and nodded: Li Ru is right. If Chen Lang did not rebel, and just when the battle begins, wouldn't Duke of the East laugh!

Ha ha-ha ha …! Someone at the scene suddenly laughed out loud. Everyone could not help but look towards the source of the voice and see that the one laughing was Situ Wang Yun.

Dong Zhuo asked snappily: Wang Situ, why are you laughing? Am I wrong?

Wang Yun cupped his fists and said: I was just laughing bitterly! Laughing that we will all become ownerless souls in the near future! Dong Zhuo was shocked, and asked anxiously: Why does Wang Situ say that?

Wang Yun said: What Master Li Ru has said is reasonable, but how could he not hear of the principle of military speed. The matter of Chen Lang conspiring against him was something that Dong Min had personally experienced countless of hardships to pass on to his. If he took action as soon as possible, he could seize the opportunity when Chen Lang was away on a conquest to snatch back the Luoyang at the speed of lightning and trap Chen Lang in the prefecture. Then, he would be left powerless and would be captured by the Grand Tutor sooner or later! But if we delay time and wait for Chen Lang to take back the entire prefecture and return to the Luoyang, won't he be able to raise the tigers and make it difficult to take care of the troubles?

Dong Zhuo felt that Wang Yun's words made a lot of sense. Niu Fu agreed loudly from the side.

Li Ru anxiously said: What Wang Situ said makes sense, but what if there is some kind of misunderstanding, wouldn't it lead to a great disaster and leave no room for regret?

Dong Zhuo felt that Li Ru's words made sense, and in that moment, he was in a dilemma.

Wang Yun laughed: This matter is easy to resolve. When Guo Si and General Li Que entered the Luoyang, they would definitely be able to know the truth of the situation. If Chen Lang really rebelled, they would immediately attack the city and seize the Luoyang in one fell swoop. If Chen Lang did not rebel, then the two generals would immediately tell him to appease and retreat, and then the Grand Tutor would bestow a title of nobility to Chen Lang as a show of honor, which would dispel Chen Lang's doubts and make him deeply grateful to the Grand Tutor. In this way, wouldn't both of them be considered perfect?

Dong Zhuo was overjoyed, and clapped: "What a brilliant plan Wang Situ has! [That is foolproof!] Li Ru felt that something was amiss, but he couldn't say what it was at the moment.

Dong Zhuo said to Guo Si: The two of you, gather your troops and send troops to the Luoyang. Do as they say, without mistake. The two generals clasped their fists in response.

Li Ru was worried that the two generals would try to go with him, but he was worried that he would offend Guo Si if that happened. In the end, he didn't say anything.

After the meeting ended, Lu Zhi caught up to Wang Yun, and looked around. Seeing that no one was paying attention to them, he frowned and asked softly, What exactly is Wang Situ's intention for saying today? Guo Si will definitely attack the Luoyang fiercely when he goes there, I'm worried that Chen Lang won't be able to block it! Wang Yun chuckled, and lowered his voice: Isn't that good? With Guo Si's attack, even if Chen Lang did not want to go against Dong Zhuo, he would have to go against him! Lu Zhi was startled, then said: So this is Wang Situ's plan! Wang Situ nodded, and said: That's right! He then coldly snorted and said, Let them fight amongst themselves. This is the only way for us to get into trouble. Lu Zhi nodded his head, and said worriedly: Wang Situ's plan is good, but I'm afraid that Chen Lang will not be able to hold it off!

Wang Yun laughed, I don't think so. Chen Lang had once resisted Dong Zhuo alone in the fir pool for a few days, causing Dong Zhuo's army to be unable to advance! After that, they forcefully resisted the eighteen dukes' allied army, and drove the Sun Jian army that had already invaded the Luoyang out of the Luoyang! This person was brave and cunning, his subordinates were like a cloud of fierce generals, and the entire Ying Yang Army was filled with tigers, wolves, Xiao Rui! Although Guo Si's Xiliang Steel Cavalry was strong, he might not be able to defeat the Ying Yang Army! I expect there to be an earth-shattering battle between the Luoyang City and the Heaven and Earth not long from now! Lu Zhi nodded his head and said happily: Once this big battle starts, maybe we will have the chance. Then he said, I think it is necessary to contact the Duke of the East and take this opportunity to enter the west! Wang Yun cupped his fists and said: I will leave this matter to brother Lu Zhi.

Wang Yun returned home and shouted, Daughter, quickly take out the good wine that Father has stored away! Father will drink three cups today! With that, Wang Yun sat down in the hall.

A moment later, an unparalleled beauty in a long, rose-colored dress came in through the side door with a jug of wine in her hand. The moment she entered, the entire world seemed to lose its color, as if spring's light had entered the hall. She was so beautiful that she did not seem like a mortal. She was so beautiful that she looked like a demoness that had just walked out of a hundred flowers. She was peerlessly beautiful. The world had lost its color because of her beauty.

The lady carried the jug of wine and walked to Wang Yun's side. She knelt and poured a cup of cold and clear wine for Wang Yun, immediately filling the entire hall with the fragrance of alcohol! Wine beauty, is there anything more beautiful than this?

Wang Yun drank three large cups consecutively, yet he was still full of interest.

The lady filled up a cup of wine for Wang Yun and asked curiously, Father, why are you so happy today? Is there any good news?

Wang Yun smiled and nodded: Good news! A big happy occasion! My daughter, Dong Zhuo and Chen Lang are going to fight, do you think that is a good thing?

The lady was startled, and asked: Chen Lang? Could it be that General Ying Yang?

Wang Yun nodded, That's him! Then, he raised his head and drained the wine.

The lady continued to fill the cup for Wang Yun and frowned: This Chen Lang is just a lackey for Dong Zhuo, how can he be better than Dong Zhuo? I'm afraid that it won't be long before Dong Zhuo kills him!

Wang Yun shook his head, and said: Daughter, you only know one thing but not the other! Although Chen Lang was Dong Zhuo's lackey, he was definitely a formidable person! Thinking back to before, the reason why Yellow Bandits could be annihilated so quickly was largely because of Chen Lang and his outstanding troops! After Dong Zhuo came to the capital, only he and Cao Cao had the guts to fight against Dong Zhuo! Especially Chen Lang, he actually resisted the Dong Zou's army independently for several days without taking a step forward! When he had defected to the Dong Zou's side later on, the reason why the eighteen dukes' hard work ended up in vain, was largely because of Chen Lang! Sigh! Speaking of which, Chen Lang is also considered a rare hero, it's a pity that he can't finish the job well, he's disgraced! He could not help but raise his head and drink the wine in one gulp.

The lady poured Wang Yun a cup and asked curiously: Hearing what father said, could it be that Dong Zou is afraid of him?

Wang Yun laughed: "Dong Zou will not admit it. But I can see that Chen Lang is actually the one that Dong Zou fears the most! That day, Chen Lang protected Luoyang and forced eighteen dukes to retreat. Although Dong Zou looked happy on the surface, he was actually trembling with fear! He probably never would have thought that Chen Lang would actually have such capability! After the eighteen dukes had retreated, the Luoyang was under Chen Lang's control! Heh heh, this Dong Zou really has no appetite and sleeps soundly! In order to prevent Chen Lang from taking complete control of the Luoyang and becoming his base of operations, not only did the Dong Zou make his daughter his deputy, he also allowed Dong Min to take over the position of the Regional Commander of the Luoyang. That Chen Lang was invulnerable but lustful. Because of Dong Yuan, Chen Lang had always been loyal to the Dong Zou! Unfortunately, the Luoyang's Great Governor had used the wrong person! I reckon that there is a high chance that Dong Min messed up the Luoyang and still offended Chen Lang, which was why he was killed! Haha, that's great, now that Dong Min was killed, even if Chen Lang had a hundred mouths, he wouldn't be able to tell clearly! Dong Zou has sent Guo Si's Second General to lead two hundred thousand soldiers to the east.

The lady was a bit worried: Guo Si has over two hundred thousand soldiers, I am afraid …!

Wang Yun laughed as he waved his hand, Don't be afraid! With Chen Lang's ability, he should be able to withstand it! When they have fought their way to the end of the day, perhaps we will have a chance."

The lady could not help but recall that she had heard of Chen Lang before, but had not expected her father to praise him so much! She could not help but be curious about the legendary General Ying Yang.

Just as Chen Lang was discussing with the generals in the Great General's Estate hall, a scout officer that was covered in dust rushed up to the hall, cupped his fists and greeted: Reporting to the great general, the Changan army, Dong Zhuo ordered Guo Si to command 200 thousand soldiers to charge towards Luoyang!

Everyone looked at Chen Lang, who laughed: Finally here!

The Old Man Ding frowned, Could it be that even Miss Dong was unable to convince her father?

Guan Yu said: I'm afraid Miss Dong Yuan has not reached Chang An yet. Even if she got there, it wouldn't be of any use. How could jackals like the Dong Zou ignore the advice of their children? Looking towards Chen Lang, he said worriedly for him: I'm afraid that Miss Dong will be detained by the Dong Zou! Chen Lang could not help but frown, and in his heart, he could not help but feel worried. Actually, when Dong Yuan wanted to rush to Chang An to convince her father, Chen Lang was against it. However, Dong Yuan had left a letter behind the next morning and went to Chang An without permission!

Chen Lang asked Guan Yu: How are the preparations for the various armies?

Guan Yu cupped his fists and said: According to Big Brother's orders, other than water seal and Tiger's Cage, all of the troops stationed at different parts of Luoyang have been redeployed back to Luoyang. The total force of one hundred and fifty thousand soldiers, is more than enough to deal with Guo Liangqiang.

CHAPTER 102 - CHANGING THE STRING AND CHANGING THE WAY

Zhao Yun frowned: Why did the Dong Zou only send two hundred thousand troops to attack us? Could it be that he actually thinks that just these two hundred thousand troops are enough to deal with us? "

Chen Lang laughed: I think that there is a high chance that Dong Zhuo has not figured out the situation yet, he probably thinks that we only have 150 thousand soldiers and horses to split up and defend this province, and that we only have 100 thousand soldiers in the Luoyang, but he does not know that our total military strength has already far exceeded that number. This way, we will have the chance to annihilate Li Que's army! "

Guan Yu laughed: When they discover our true strength, they will definitely be shocked!

Chen Lang said: The strategy for this battle is very simple. Put Guo Li Er's troops under the Luoyang City, and Zi Long will lead his subordinates to cut off their retreat, and kill them while they are in a state of panic! After that, Chen Lang assigned some tasks to the generals and got them to go down to prepare. The generals bowed to Chen Lang and hurried over.

Chen Lang asked Old Man Ding and Xue Tong, Have the people surrounding the Luoyang retreated into the Luoyang?

Xue Tong cupped his fists and said: I have already followed the general's orders, so far 90% of the citizens have already retreated to Luoyang. Old Man Ding also cupped his fists, All the food and other various supplies have been moved into Luoyang. I guarantee that Guo Li and his son won't get anything when they arrive!

Chen Lang nodded his head, and thought: With Guo Li's army, the outside of the city will probably become scorched earth!

Xue Tong could not help but scold: When Dong Zou first entered the Luoyang, the commoners outside the city already suffered a calamity!

Chen Lang said: But the actions of the self-proclaimed righteous Marquis are even worse!

Xue Tong sighed, and said angrily: What the Great General said is extremely true, those dukes and Dong Zou are actually all the same kind of trash!

Halfway there, Dong Yuan met Guo Si who was leading his army and advancing eastwards. She immediately stopped his army and met with Guo Si. Seeing that it was Dong Yuan, Guo Si did not dare delay, and immediately bowed: Young miss! Dong Yuan asked snappily: Where are the two of you leading the army? Guo Si said, On the orders of the Grand Preceptor, I shall go to suppress the traitorous Chen Lang!

Dong Yuan was shocked, and shouted: Who said Big Brother was a traitor!

Li Que said, If Chen Lang's subordinates dare to kill the Lord Dong Min, the Luoyang's Governor, who was sent by the Grand Tutor, then what is he if not a traitor?

Dong Yuan said: It was Dong Min who wanted to harm Big Brother, and that's why he was killed by Guan Yu! Do not listen to rumors and immediately go back!

Guo Si looked at each other, then said, We can't obey your orders, the conquest of Chen Lang is an order from the Grand Preceptor, how can we disobey!

Dong Yuan was enraged, she immediately pulled out her curved blade, her eyebrows slanted inwards as she shouted: I want to see who dares!

Guo Si was shocked, he held his spear horizontally in front of his chest and asked: Miss, what are you trying to do?

Dong Yuan bellowed: Are you guys retreating or not!

Guo Si snorted, and said: Sorry, I couldn't follow your orders!

Dong Yuan did not speak anymore, she immediately used her rouge horse to charge towards Guo Si, and used his blade to cut down. Guo Si anxiously blocked, while Li Que rushed towards him with his spear. Dong Yuan immediately raised the scimitar in her left hand to block. Dong Yuan was not afraid, instead, she was furious and shouted: How dare you! She dares to offend us from the bottom of her heart!" As she said that, she brandished a pair of curved blades and rushed to attack Guo Si. In truth, Dong Yuan's martial arts was only comparable to Guo Si's, it was impossible for her to win against him alone. However, Guo Si did not care that she was a young miss, and did not dare to be ruthless to her, or that she would be merciful in her moves.

Dong Yuan could not fight against the two of them, but she became more and more tied up, and could not help but become anxious. Guo Si struck out and forced Dong Yuan to retreat. Guo Si said, The two of us have the Grand Preceptor's military order with us, Miss, please don't force us anymore! Otherwise, it would be hard to say for sure if you offended the young miss!

Dong Yuan almost wanted to kill the two of them, but she knew that it was impossible with her own abilities. Dong Yuan kept her curved blade, coldly looked at the two, and led her female soldiers away.

Li Que looked at Dong Yuan's back figure, and said worriedly to Guo Si: Today, we have really offended Miss! I'm afraid …"

Guo Si scoffed, You and I have the Grand Preceptor's orders, how could Miss still complain about us in front of the Grand Preceptor?! Alright, there's nothing to worry about, let's continue our advance towards the Luoyang! If we can break through Luoyang in one fell swoop, that would be a great contribution! Then, with a look of longing, he said, There are countless treasure beauties in Luoyang City, and we didn't even get the chance to take them last time. We cannot miss this chance! Li Que could not help but reveal a greedy expression. The two continued to lead the great army.

Dong Yuan failed in trying to stop Guo Li and Luo Li, and rushed back to Chang An. Without caring about resting, he immediately went to see her father. The servants in the backyard were trying to try and stop him, but they were all blocked as Dong Yuan barged in.

Dong Zhuo was in the room playing a game of love with the Aiki. Each of them was open and honest, their body entwined with tender affection. The door suddenly burst open with a Pah! As a result, a pond of mandarin ducks flew all over the place, Dong Zhuo quickly pulled a robe around his waist, and upon seeing Dong Yuan coming over, he angrily roared: How did you barge in like this, quickly get out!

Dong Yuan directly walked in front of the bed, knelt on one knee, and said: Daughter sees daddy and is about to commit a grave and irreparable mistake, can't care about that much anymore! Father, please listen to me!

Dong Zhuo said snappily: What big mistake did I make? This is nonsense!

Dong Yuan said: Guo Si and General Ying Yang are about to reach Luoyang, that is when Father is forcing them to rebel! If such a situation were to occur, would father be able to remain so calm?

Dong Zhuo snorted, Guo Si and Li Que, the second general can quickly eliminate that rebellious Chen Lang! Why can't I be as safe as I am now?"

Dong Yuan said: How can Guo Si and Li Que be an opponent of big brother! Furthermore, Father, you don't even know how strong Big Brother is right now! Daddy, do you know that Big Brother's army is already close to 300,000 people!?

Dong Zhuo was shocked, Why are there so many?! Isn't it just one hundred and fifty thousand yuan? "

Dong Yuan said: Before Big Brother entered the Huanzhou Region, she expanded her army to two hundred thousand. When she was fighting in the Huanzhou Region, she also merged with the upper echelon of the upper echelons, the Jinyang Army, the Yanmen Army and the Western River Army. Not only would the two hundred thousand Steel Cavalry led by Guo Si not destroy Big Brother, they would also be wiped out by him in one go! The result of Daddy's actions, other than turning his capable arm into the enemy's, who will never be able to rest in peace, is not something that he can gain!

Dong Zhuo got down from the bed and paced back and forth anxiously. He stopped in his tracks, looked at Dong Yuan, and asked: Are you speaking the truth?

Dong Yuan said angrily: Of course it's true! When have I ever lied to father?!

Dong Zhuo said angrily: Niu Fu, Wang Yun missed me! Then, he ran to the sword rack, took down his own sword, and handed it over to Dong Yuan, and said: Quickly take my sword and catch up to Guo Si, make the two of them come back immediately!

Dong Yuan was ecstatic, she cupped her fists and ran down.

Dong Zhuo was extremely vexed. He looked at the Ji concubines huddled up in bed, but did not feel happy at all. Calling for the group of people to help her put on her clothes and pants, she walked to the study room. Then, someone called Li Ru over.

Dong Zhuo told him what Dong Yuan had said just now, and also told him that he had given the treasure sword to Dong Yuan to retrieve Li Que.

Li Ru thought for a while: Miss has always been by Chen Lang's side, you should be right. Then he clasped his fists. The Grand Preceptor's decision is very wise. It should be so! However, Chen Lang must have already known about the Grand Preceptor sending out troops. Therefore, the Grand Preceptor should've sent a vassal to pacify Chen Lang and increase his rank so that he wouldn't have to be afraid!

Dong Zhuo nodded and said, You're right! Then who do you think is suitable for go to the Luoyang?

Li Ru introduced himself: This subordinate is willing to go.

Dong Zhuo said: If you are willing to go to Luoyang, then nothing can be better!

Li Ru said: This subordinate has another suggestion. What Miss said made a lot of sense. But he had to be wary of Chen Lang having ulterior motives! Miss has so much love for Chen Lang, I am afraid that many times, her eyes would be blinded by her feelings, unable to see the truth.

Dong Zhuo said snappily: Why did you say that again? What exactly do you mean?

Li Ru immediately said: This subordinate approves of Miss's actions, but this is not the time for us to use force against Chen Lang. This subordinate thinks that Guo Si's army should be sent back to the Huogu Kowloon, and at the same time, they should be transferred to Wen Hou with a hundred and fifty thousand troops. When this subordinate made a trip to the Luoyang to present Chen Lang with a noble title, he had also sent the Grand Preceptor's order for him to report to Chang An. This was also reasonable, Chen Lang had governed the Luoyang for a long time and had recently suppressed the other kingdoms, so he should come to the To the Grand Preceptor to report on his duties. If Chen Lang is really a loyal subject, he would not hesitate to follow his subordinate to Chang An. At that time, the Grand Tutor could have undoubtedly protected the Luoyang with peace of mind.

Dong Zhuo laughed: If that's the case, I will marry Yuanyuan to him.

The Grand Preceptor is wise!

Dong Zhuo frowned and asked: What if he doesn't come with an excuse?

Li Ru frowned: If that's the case, then it means that Chen Lang is only a traitor who seems to be loyal to a traitor who has hidden secrets! The Grand Tutor allowed Wen Hou, Guo Si, and Li Que to lead a great army of three hundred fifty thousand to attack the Luoyang from three sides! I estimate that with the Grand Preceptor's move, Black Mountain Zhang Yan, Jizhou Yuan Shao, and Yanzhou Cao Cao will take the opportunity to make their move. Although Chen Lang is brave and cunning, and the Ying Yang Army under his command is strong and sturdy, they won't be able to withstand the fierce attacks coming from all directions! I believe that Chen Lang and his army will be completely wiped out before long! However, your subordinate does not wish for this to happen, because if it does, the Grand Preceptor's strength will be greatly reduced, and Yuan Shao, Cao Cao Cao and the others will have the most benefits!

CHAPTER 103 - ABRUPT CHANGE

Dong Zhuo frowned and nodded, then said: I'll do as you say!

Chen Lang had already made all the preparations in Luoyang, and was waiting for the two West Cold Army s to arrive, in one go they would surround and destroy them.

Days passed. According to the time taken, Guo Si and Yue Yang's army should have already arrived, but they did not appear. On this day, Chen Lang suddenly received a report from the scouts. After Guo Si and his army entered the fir pool's territory, they suddenly turned 180 degrees and returned.

Chen Lang was worried that Guo Si might have some tricks up his sleeves, hence he had all the scouts monitor Guo Si's movements closely. However, the report from the scouts was that the two troops had indeed returned. There was nothing suspicious at all. Chen Lang didn't understand the situation clearly, so he ordered the troops to remain on guard.

At noon that day, a female soldier close to Dong Yuan came to see him and passed a letter to him, saying, General, I have come under the orders of my Miss to bring my lady's handwritten letter.

Chen Lang asked: Where is your young miss? Why haven't you come back yet?

The female soldier smiled. Young miss really wants to come back, but Madame has contracted an emergency. Young miss is taking care of the lady at Chang An, so she won't be able to come to Luoyang for the time being. Then, he clasped his fists and said, I've brought the young mistress's letter. I will take my leave now. And then, he bowed.

Chen Lang opened the letter and took out the bamboo block. Laughing, he raised his head and said to the generals: The alarm can be lifted now, Guo Si has indeed left. It was Yuanyuan who advised Dong Zhuo to give the order, and it was Yuanyuan who personally carried Dong Zhuo's order to pursue Guo Si's army.

Everyone looked at each other, Guan Yu frowned: Miss Dong has always loved big brother! However, this is a good thing that we have yet to see!

Zhao Yun said: No, I don't think so. Although we are confident that we can eliminate and defeat Guo Si's army, but in terms of the overall situation, it is not a good thing to offend Dong Zhuo right now!

Chen Lang nodded and said, Zi Long is right. Dong Zhuo's strength is still far stronger than us. Furthermore, we have just recovered the four counties of the Luo Province, so now is not the time to exchange blows with Dong Zhuo. Although we can defeat Guo Si, but it will be difficult later on. Dong Zhuo will definitely use his entire army to attack us, and we will not be able to recover safely. Zhang Yan, Cao Cao Cao Cao and Yuan Shao are on the side, if anything happens to them, the consequences will be disastrous! We still need time!

When the citizens of the entire Luoyang heard the news that the Dong Zhuo Jun had left, their worried hearts could not help but drop. The people who had been worrying for the past few days all came to the tavern and drank some tea to relax themselves. The streets and alleys of Luoyang became lively once again. The commoners who were evacuated to the city had all returned home one by one. The Luoyang City who was already full was finally able to relax.

Chen Lang was on patrol, when an officer suddenly ran over to report: General, Dong Zhuo's messenger Li Ru has arrived!

Chen Lang acknowledged him and asked: Where is he? We have already arrived at Great General's Estate. "

Chen Lang left the city walls and returned to the main hall of the Great General's Estate. Seeing Li Ru seated at the table drinking tea, he immediately walked forward and smiled while cupping his fists: I do not know of Lord Li's arrival, I hope you can forgive me if I fail to welcome you!

Li Ru stood up and left, bowing and cupping his fists: Great General, no need to be courteous! Then he smiled and said, This official will congratulate the great general first!

Chen Lang laughed bitterly: Master Li is joking! I heard that not long ago, Guo Si and Li Que, the two generals, had been ordered by the Grand Preceptor to lead an army to suppress me! I am truly terrified! "

Li Ru said with a stern expression, That's because there is someone who is greedy for food in front of the Grand Preceptor. Now that the truth has been revealed, the Grand Preceptor knows full well that the great general is extremely loyal, which is why he's summoned back Second General Guo Li immediately! He then took out a scroll and said with a smile, The Grand Preceptor knows that the Grand Preceptor has worked hard to regain the four counties of the prefecture, so he has specially ordered this subordinate to come and comfort him! This is the imperial edict the Grand Preceptor invited for the general!

Chen Lang immediately knelt down on one knee.

Li Ru unrolled the scroll and read it aloud. Like all the oracles in the ancient times, the beginning of the scroll had many sentences that he couldn't understand, and it took a while before he could get to the main topic, General Ying Yang has guarded the Luoyang and reclaimed four counties of the prefecture. He has put in a lot of effort and hard work. This is it!

Chen Lang thanked him and accepted the decree with both hands as he stood up.

Li Ru replied, The Grand Preceptor has absolute trust in the general! The previous incident had merely been a result of a few jealous generals spreading rumors. The Grand Preceptor had already beheaded them! General, please do not have any misgivings!"

Chen Lang cupped his fists and said, The Grand Preceptor has shown us great kindness. Even if this lowly general were to be beheaded, it would be hard to repay him!

Li Ru slightly smiled and said, It will be the Mid-Autumn Festival in a short period of time. The Grand Preceptor really hopes to see the great general at the Mid-Autumn Festival and hear his report about the Luoyang and the Acropolis Region!"

Chen Lang's heart skipped a beat, and he cupped his fists: I, too, would like to meet the Great General!

Li Ru took the chance and said: Since that's the case, then Great General, please follow me back to Chang An.

To be able to travel with an adult is a great honor. However, we will still need a few more days to arrange the cultural relics, so as to not have any accidents when the time comes.

Li Ru nodded, This is the duty of the great general, we are generals. I won't disturb the general, but the general can take care of his own matters."

Chen Lang said: I'll send you off. After that, Chen Lang personally sent Li Ru to Guest House and then returned there.

Once he returned to Great General's Estate, Chen Lang immediately gathered the officials and ministers there, and told them the purpose of Li Ru's visit. Guan Yu immediately said: "Big brother cannot go to Chang An! Not long ago, Dong Zou sent Guo Si to lead a large army to suppress Big Brother, and now that he has been summoned to Luoyang, it is clear that he harbors malicious intentions.

Everyone nodded their heads in agreement. Zhao Yun said, "What Big Brother Guan says is extremely true! [The general is in dire straits now. We can't go!]

Chen Lang laughed, I understand! You are all worried for my safety! But I have to go this time! Guan Yu shouted anxiously, Big Brother …

Chen Lang raised his right hand and interrupted Guan Yu's words, saying, I understand what you mean. But you don't have to worry too much. I think this is Dong Zhuo's scheme, he must be testing me, testing my loyalty. Humph, if I don't confess, he will think that I am betraying him and will immediately mobilize my army to attack us!"

Guan Yu shouted loudly, Come on! After all, we are here to defend, and here to hide. Do we still need to be afraid of him here in Ying Yang Army? The generals roared in agreement.

Seeing that the generals were like that, Chen Lang was greatly gratified, and said: We Ying Yang Army are naturally not afraid of any strong enemies! However, the current situation was different from before. Dong Zhuo must already know our secret, so when we attack again, we will focus our main forces to attack. Our army will have a hard time winning! It's fine if it's just Dong Zhuo, but we just recovered the four counties of the Wanzhou Region and they're not stable yet. With Black Mountain Zhang Yan, Jizhou Yuan Shao, and Yanzhou Cao Cao to the side, once we fall into a bitter battle with Dong Zhuo, they will definitely take advantage of the situation and rob us! At that time, the situation would become serious! We still need time, so I can't not go to Chang'an!

Everyone could not help but feel that Chen Lang's words made sense and frowned. Zhao Yun said: Great General's decision is correct. But …"

Chen Lang waved his hand, Don't worry about my safety. The reason why Dong Zhuo sent people to summon us was because he didn't want to fight against our army rashly and wanted us to take advantage of the situation. If he could earn Chang An and kill me, wouldn't he be afraid of you guys taking revenge? If that were the case, wouldn't Dong Zhuo's actions now be in vain? So you don't have to worry about my safety.

Everyone felt that Chen Lang's words were logical, but they were still a little worried.

Chen Lang looked at Guan Yu, Zhao Yun, and said, When I was not in Luoyang, Yun Zhang had full authority over the military affairs of Luoyang, and Zi Long was his deputy. The two generals felt a little depressed as they clasped their fists in response.

Chen Lang looked at Xue Tong and Old Man Ding and said, Xue Tong is in charge of government affairs and Old Man Ding is in charge. If there is a war, then we will prioritize the military, and all of you will have to obey Yun Chang Zi Long's orders. The two of them clasped their fists in response.

Zhao Yun said: General, regarding General Gan Ning, if the general does not give him a clear order, I am afraid he will do something rash.

Chen Lang nodded his head, and said: When I leave, I will leave a letter in my own hands, send someone to give it to Gan Ning.

The group headed towards Chang An on the official road, with Chen Lang and Li Ru riding together. Li Ru looked at the quiet and peaceful villages along the way, the plentiful fruit forest and farmlands, and the steady stream of merchant groups on the public road, and could not help but sigh: The Great General is truly not simple! To think that Luoyang would be governed with such richness! Chen Lang laughed, Master Li, you flatter me. This is all because of the Grand Preceptor's kindness! When he said this, even Chen Lang himself felt that it was funny, and that the one who was speaking didn't seem to be him.

Li Ru laughed, The Grand Preceptor will definitely be very happy to see the general!

Chen Lang replied, I am one of the Grand Preceptor's subordinates. The Grand Preceptor has summoned me, how could I dare to hesitate?!

Li Ru laughed: Seeing that the great general is so, I am relieved.

Chen Lang did not understand and asked: What does Master Li mean by this?

Only then did Li Ru realize that he had leaked his mouth, and laughed: Nothing special, I'm just moved by Great General's loyalty. Chen Lang laughed.

Li Ru turned his head to look at the carriage at the back, and jokingly said, The great general is full of heroic spirit, a beauty will take care of him wherever he goes! It really makes one not be envious!

Chen Lang chuckled, and said: Juan'er, is merely my maid.

Li Ru grinned, I think that the feelings that the little maid has for the Great General is definitely not like the maid's feelings for Master!

Chen Lang laughed: Master Li, you must be joking!

CHAPTER 104 - ENVIOUS HEART

Chen Lang followed Li Ru back to Chang An. Dong Yuan who had already received the news had long been waiting at the east gate. Upon seeing Chen Lang and his group arrive, he immediately broke into a smile and spurred his horse forward to welcome them. He came in front of Chen Lang and asked happily: You're here? Chen Lang smiled and nodded, I'm here! Li Ru laughed inwardly and said, "Let's pay our respects to the Grand Preceptor first. Then it won't be too late for you to talk properly. The general had officially paid his respects to his father-in-law this time!

Dong Yuan was extremely happy, her beautiful eyes kept looking at Chen Lang. A gentle feeling rose in Chen Lang's heart, but when he thought that there would be a day where he and Dong Zhuo would break up, he felt that he had let Dong Yuan down, and couldn't help but feel disheartened.

Dong Yuan went over to Chen Lang's side and tied up his reins. The group went through the city gate and headed straight for the most splendid mansion.

Walking on the main street of Chang An, Chen Lang felt the depressed atmosphere blowing towards him. There were only a few people on the street, all dressed in shabby clothes and looking worried; the flags on the shops on both sides were fluttering listlessly, only about a third of the stores were open, and the other third of the stores were completely empty. Only the magnificent mansion in the distance stood out, but it seemed completely out of place in the street.

Chen Lang looked at the glorious palace, raised his hand, pointed and asked: Is that the Imperial Palace? Are we going to the Imperial Palace?

Li Ru laughed, The Grand Preceptor would definitely be very happy to hear the general's words!

Dong Yuan smiled. That isn't the palace, it's Daddy's Grand Preceptor's estate.

Chen Lang was enlightened, then he secretly mocked himself: I'm really stupid, with Dong Zhuo's personality, how can he let the Emperor live in the best palace, I must be enjoying it myself!

Chen Lang thought about the legends of the Aconitum mongolicum Thunb and could not help but ask, I heard that the Grand Preceptor built a Aconitum mongolicum Thunb outside the city?

Dong Yuan nodded, and said: The Aconitum mongolicum Thunb is in the west side of Chang An, it is still quite a distance away from Chang An! And then she laughed: One day, I'll take my big brother to have a look. That Aconitum mongolicum Thunb is truly like a heavenly palace! Li Ru laughed, The Grand Preceptor has placed all of the treasures he had stored in the Han Residence into the Aconitum mongolicum Thunb and even picked three thousand beauties to fill them up. Even the big sized palace from before had lost its luster when compared to it! Chen Lang laughed.

At this moment, a large group of people walked over. Everyone could not help but look up, to see that the person leading the group was Dong Zhuo's Great General Niu Fu, it could be said that the enemies were on a narrow path!

Dong Yuan frowned, showing displeasure on her face.

Niu Fu rode his horse in front of Chen Lang, and stared at Chen Lang sinisterly, his eyes filled with endless hatred. If looks could kill, Chen Lang would have died a miserable death.

Niu Fu replied, The Grand Preceptor believes in you, I don't believe in you!

Dong Yuan became furious and shouted, Niu Fu, don't be too presumptuous! Niu Fu's heart was ignited with boundless hatred and envy. She pointed at Chen Lang and shouted, Where is this guy good? Why do you like him so much? I have always been infatuated with you, yet you don't even look at me!

Chen Lang could not help but think: Niu Fu, you really don't understand women!

Dong Yuan saw that Niu Fu actually dared to speak like that in front of his lover, and was extremely humiliated and furious, he immediately pulled out his curved blade and looked at Niu Fu, and bellowed: If you dare speak nonsense again, I will chop off your dog head!

Niu Fu stared at Dong Yuan with his eyes wide opened, his expression was filled with sorrow, his entire body was trembling, it was unknown if it was because he was afraid or because he was angry.

Chen Lang stepped forward and pressed on Dong Yuan's shoulder, and said: Yuanyuan, don't be rash, I understand your heart, why must you lower yourself to him. Dong Yuan's furious expression was immediately replaced with gentleness. When Niu Fu saw her expression change like this, he was greatly agitated. He looked at Chen Lang with boundless hatred, then urged his horse to ride past them. The group of people that came with him quickly followed.

After Niu Fu and the others left, Li Ru rode up to them and said to Chen Lang in a low voice: General, be careful of Niu Fu. It is unreasonable for him to do things when he is alone!

Chen Lang cupped his fists and thanked: Thank you for the reminder Master Li, I will be careful.

Dong Yuan said angrily: If he dares to harm Big Brother, I'll kill him! Li Ru quickly waved his hand: This, this is not something you can say casually! Dong Yuan snappily retorted: You're not afraid of him, I'm not afraid of him at all! Li Ru's face revealed a troubled expression, and thought to himself: Aunt, this is not a question of being afraid, if I do not handle this kind of thing properly, it will cause huge trouble!

The group of people arrived at the entrance to the Grand Preceptor's estate. Chen Lang realized that the gates to the Grand Preceptor's estate were high and mighty, with a magnificent appearance. Then, he saw the gates of the Grand Preceptor's estate facing towards another huge estate. Although the area was not small, it was still much more shabby in front of the estate. The two sects faced each other. It was as if a rich man was proudly looking down on a wealthy man's son. Chen Lang could not help but point at the mansion across them and ask, Where is that place? He could actually be in front of the Grand Preceptor's estate? Li Ru laughed: So that's the Imperial Palace. Chen Lang was startled, but quickly nodded with a smile.

The group walked through the door and into the main hall. The Grand Tutor Dong Zhuo had received the news long ago and was seated at the head of the table, waiting. Ordinary civil and military officials were arranged to the left and right of him, just like an imperial court.

Dong Yuan walked to the right, stood at the center, and bowed as she said, This subordinate has brought General Ying Yang to report back! Chen Lang immediately bowed. This general greets the Grand Preceptor!

Dong Zhuo laughed and said: Good good good! I'm so happy to see Chen Lang here! Then he laughed again. Many people laughed along.

Chen Lang replied: I've been ordered to report to the To the Grand Preceptor.

Dong Zhuo laughed and said, No rush. It wouldn't be too late to talk about it later. Chen Lang, first, go to your new mansion and have a good rest. We specially prepared this mansion for you! " When Dong Zhuo said this, all the other generals, including Lv Bu, revealed expressions of jealousy.

Chen Lang bowed. Thank you, Grand Preceptor, for your kindness!

Dong Zhuo laughed and said: You will be our son-in-law from now on, so of course we will love you more! You must remember our kindness!

Chen Lang and Dong Yuan could not help but look at each other, their deep feelings for each other were hidden within. Chen Lang turned to Dong Zhuo Bai and said, This general will never forget the Grand Preceptor's kindness!

Dong Zhuo was extremely satisfied, he turned and said to Dong Yuan: Yuanyuan, bring Chen Lang to see his residence. In the future, you will be the mistress of that place!

Dong Yuan happily agreed, then said to Chen Lang: Big brother, follow me! Chen Lang bowed towards Dong Zhuo, then followed Dong Yuan.

When Chen Lang left, Li Ru smiled and said to Dong Zhuo, General Ying Yang came to pay his respects to the Grand Preceptor without hesitation. It shows how loyal he is to the Grand Preceptor! Dong Zhuo laughed and looked extremely happy.

After the meeting ended, most of the people left, while Li Ru, Niu Fu, Guo Si and Li Que stayed behind. Niu Fu said anxiously, Grand Preceptor, that Chen Lang is definitely not trustworthy. I think we should take this opportunity to kill him to prevent future troubles! Guo Si said: Niu Fu is right, we should take this opportunity to kill Chen Lang!

Li Ru never thought that the three of them would actually have such thoughts. The Grand Preceptor used this method to probe Chen Lang in order to avoid an unnecessary war! Chen Lang was obviously very loyal to the Grand Tutor now, so why did he break his own arm? Moreover, if he killed Chen Lang like this, the brothers and generals under him, such as Gan Ning, Guan Yu, Zhao Yun and the others, would not be willing to let this matter go. At that time, they will definitely use all their strength to fight us to the bitter end! "

Niu Fu coldly snorted, and said: Could it be that our Xiliang Steel Cavalry is afraid of them? Guo Si agreed with them one by one, looking like he wanted to share a relationship with Chen Lang's Ying Yang Army.

Li Ru anxiously said: "This is not a question of whether you are afraid or not, it is a question of what the consequences will be! Indeed, our strength is far from what Ying Yang Army can compare to. Five hundred thousand West Cold Army s plus one hundred and fifty thousand Union Army s can be said to be arrogant and invincible! However, everyone has all personally seen how powerful the Ying Yang Army is, and Gan Ning, Guan Yu, Zhao Yun and the rest of the generations are all powerful fighters, if we cause internal strife, although we can win, but what is the price we have to pay? Don't forget that we still have the threat of the Qiang people, as well as the threat of Ma Teng. That Yuan Shao and Cao Cao Cao's strengths are already incomparable to how they were in the past. If we were to have an internal conflict, these enemies would definitely group up and attack us.

Dong Zhuo nodded and said: There is nothing more to say than what Li Ru has said! Then, he turned to Niu Fu and the others and said: Don't be jealous of Chen Lang, I will ask for an order and give you all the title of Grand General Fu Lai and Grand General Che Lai. Hearing that, the three of them were overjoyed, they immediately kowtowed to express their gratitude, but Niu Fu's heart was still pierced with a thorn, although becoming an official made him extremely happy, he was still unable to let go of Dong Yuan's matter.

Chen Lang followed Dong Yuan to a luxurious mansion in the city. Chen Lang saw this luxurious mansion that was far more luxurious than the one in the Luoyang. He could not help but be startled and ask: This is …?

Dong Yuan smiled and said, This is a present father gifted to big brother.

Chen Lang looked at the beautiful Dong Yuan, and could not help but say, I actually prefer another present. Dong Yuan smiled happily as she hugged Chen Lang's arm and looked at his lover affectionately. After which, he dragged the man into the door and excitedly said, I'll show Big Bro his new home!

When the two of them arrived at the entrance, they saw a small hall and a flat ground in front of the hall. Six beautiful and gentle maids stood at both sides of the flat ground, and when they saw Chen Lang and Dong Yuan come in, they were all slightly blessed: This servant greets the great general, and the great miss!

When Chen Lang saw these beautiful maids, he asked curiously, Who are these maids?

It's the thirty-six outstanding beauties that Daddy picked out from the Aconitum mongolicum Thunb s. They were placed here to serve Big Brother! Dong Yuan laughed.

CHAPTER 105 - NEW FAMILY SPRING LIGHT

Chen Lang's gaze could not help but sweep across those girls, only to see that each of them had a charming and beautiful appearance, and were indeed beauties that were rarely seen. Dong Zhuo delivered 36 of them in one go. It could be seen that Dong Zhuo valued him quite a lot! As he thought to this point, Chen Lang's heart couldn't help but be moved by some emotions. Then, a thought struck him. No, I'm afraid Dong Zhuo didn't send these women here just to show me kindness. Perhaps one of Dong Zhuo's trusted aides is here to spy on me. As he thought of this, he couldn't help but laugh to himself.

Dong Yuan led Chen Lang to the backyard, only to see layers and layers of fake mountains, green water, lush forest, making it seem like one was in the middle of a forest, with pavilions and pavilions covering the sky like a palace in heaven. Although the mansion was inferior to the Grand Preceptor's estate, it was no weaker than Lv Bu's estate.

Chen Lang and Dong Yuan chatted while they were sightseeing, and they unknowingly arrived at a hidden corner of the lake. When Chen Lang saw this scene, he couldn't help but recall the scene of Dong Yuan swimming naked that day. He laughed and said, Do you still remember that day when you swam nude in the Great General's Estate? The environment in this corner is very similar!

Dong Yuan laughed, with her charming red face she looked at Chen Lang, her beautiful eyes revealing a wild look. She let go of Chen Lang's hand and asked excitedly: Does big brother want to see me taking a bath?

Chen Lang immediately realised something, and his heart skipped a beat. Dong Yuan untied the knots of the cloak, causing the cloak to slip from her shoulders and land on the ground. Dong Yuan turned around, and slowly took off her armor and pants. Very quickly, a tall and well-built female body appeared in front of Chen Lang! Chen Lang was so enchanted by the pair of long legs that he couldn't help but reach out to grab her. Dong Yuan giggled as she dodged it, then said mischievously: It's not that easy to capture me! As he said that, he twisted his waist and jumped into the lake.

Following which, Dong Yuan's head emerged from the lake and water soaked her hair, revealing her charm. Dong Yuan said to Chen Lang provocatively: Do you have the ability to catch me?

Chen Lang only felt an evil fire rising from his lower abdomen, and said unhappily: If I don't teach you a lesson, you won't know how powerful I am! With that, he took off his armor and jumped into the lake. With a loud splash, water splashed in all directions, the sound was much louder than when Dong Yuan jumped into the water. An evil smile flashed across Dong Yuan's eyes, and she immediately dove into the water.

The water droplets on Chen Lang's face stained his face. He wanted to capture Dong Yuan and teach him a lesson, but there were no traces of Dong Yuan.

Just then, Chen Lang suddenly felt someone grabbing onto one of his legs, followed by a burst of force. Chen Lang's whole body was submerged in the water. Dong Yuan was like a mermaid floating not far away. Dong Yuan quickly wrapped her arms around Chen Lang's neck and kissed his lips. Chen Lang only felt his emotions burning up as he grabbed Dong Yuan's waist and carried her to the surface of the water. They floated under the tree's shade and pressed her down on the grass. Dong Yuan lifted her beautiful long legs, hooked them around Chen Lang's waist, and with her beautiful eyes burning with passion, she immediately took the initiative to kiss Chen Lang's lips. It was as if heavenly thunder had ignited the earth fire, leaving it unstoppable! The violent activity caused ripples on the surface of the lake, and the soul-stirring moans still reverberated in the quiet backyard.

When the maids heard the commotion by the lake, they did not know what was going on and went to check out what was going on. As a result, they saw a scene that caused their faces to redden as their hearts trembled, and they hurriedly ran away.

The sun had already set in the west, Chen Lang was already dressed properly, he carried Dong Yuan out of the lake and walked towards his bedroom. Dong Yuan's delicate body was covered by her battle robes, but half of her long and beautiful legs were exposed. Dong Yuan wrapped her arms around Chen Lang's neck, her somewhat tired eyes revealing a lazy yet happy glow.

Chen Lang teased: Who is more powerful?

Dong Yuan pursed her lips and laughed, then looked at Chen Lang and said: I'm just saying, you actually took it seriously! She could not help but think of the boundless joy she felt when she was being rough with her big brother. She could not help but complain, You almost killed me when I was messing with you!

Chen Lang's heart skipped a beat, he used his left hand to pinch her buttocks and laughed sinisterly: To be honest, you're satisfied, big brother, I'm not satisfied yet! Dong Yuan unhappily shot a glance at Chen Lang, hugged Chen Lang's neck and kissed his lips, saying: It's up to you to have fun! If I can't take it anymore, don't I still have so many maids? Chen Lang could not help but feel a burning desire in his heart. He lowered his head and fiercely kissed Dong Yuan's red lips, and said: You demon girl!" He could not help but quicken his pace as he spoke.

When the maids heard the exclamations from the bedroom, they could not help but look at each other in dismay. A maid could not help but say, Great General is really, really the Infernal King! You actually did it again and again. He, he's not tired at all?

In the evening, Juan'er and a bunch of fangs entered the manor. She immediately entered her character and got busy. didn't need to worry about dinner at all. Juan'er had taken care of everything well, and at this moment, the thirty-six beauties that Dong Zhuo brought over all became Juan'er's subordinates, acting as her helpers.

After dinner, Dong Yuan went to the Grand Preceptor's estate to take care of her mother. Not long after she left, one of the four generals under Dong Zhuo's command, Zhang Ji, paid a visit to her. The two of them greeted each other and then sat down in their respective seats.

Chen Lang smiled and cupped his fists: General Zhang has come to see me, I am truly flattered!

Zhang Ji cupped his fist and said with a smile, How dare I! The great general is now a popular person in front of the Grand Preceptor, ah. If the great general doesn't mind disturbing me, it'll be an honor for me! Chen Lang laughed: I am flattered! General Zhang is the Grand Preceptor's most trusted woman, so I'll have to ask General Zhang to look after me a lot! Zhang Ji laughed and said, Great General, this is just praise! The great general said I'm a popular figure in front of the Grand Preceptor, he doesn't dare to say that! Speaking of red men, there were only Guo Si and Niu Fu! Sigh, for people like us, even if we were to contribute more, we won't be able to surpass the three of them!

Chen Lang's heart was moved, and he pretended not to understand, and asked: Why does General Zhang say that?

Zhang Ji glanced at Chen Lang and said, The great general probably doesn't know. The Grand Tutor just bestowed the title of Grand General to Niu Fu, and bestowed the title of Grand General on Guo Si.

Chen
