Yuan Shao, the father of Fanghua in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 326
Madam Du sat in the room, pulled out her dowry box, took out a few phoenix hairpins and pearl flowers, and played with them over and over in her hands, while staring absently at the birds on the branches outside the window.

The solitary little bird, with its head down, combed its feathers, bounced a few times among the branches and leaves, jumped off the branches as soon as it spread its wings, and flew away into the sky.

Madam Du withdrew her gaze, and turned her gaze to the pearl hairpin in her hand. This is the jewelry she wore when she got married, and it is still as clean as new.

In fact, she has only been married for a few years, not a few years older than Lu Lingqi, and Qin Yilu often leads soldiers to fight outside, and the two rarely get together.

Both of them came from the small family of Bingzhou, so they were well-matched. When they followed Lu Bu to Chang'an, a lot of things happened, and they fled along the way, and they lived a stable life for a few days.

Before she got married, Du didn't see many outsiders, but as the wife of Lu Bu's general, she often came out to accompany her for drinks after she got married. Gradually, she became famous and even spread throughout Chang'an.

Du Shi always felt that the men around her husband always looked at her with some kind of vague good intentions when they were drinking, which made her quite unhappy.

Mrs. Du mentioned it several times, but Qin Yilu didn't care about it, saying that it was Wen Hou who valued it, and he didn't care. What does Mrs. Du care about as a woman?
Marry and follow husband, Qin Yilu spoke, although Mrs. Du felt uncomfortable, she could only follow suit and continue to endure the men's scrutiny.

It seems that over the years, the only one who has spoken justice for himself face to face is that hidden tiger, right?

He even contradicted Wen Hou face to face!
Thinking of this, Madam Du felt a little grateful to him. Although this person didn't treat Lu Lingqi very well, he was speaking out for her.

However, her situation is getting worse now, Qin Yilu quietly married the clan girl surnamed Liu, and abandoned herself, leaving her with no way out.

What did I do wrong?

She conveniently threw the pearl hairpin into the box, and conveniently tidied up the clothes. She threw the bright red wedding dress aside, and finally took some change of clothes, neatly folded them, and put them in the bag.

She buckled the lid of the dowry box, held it in her hand for a while, and then put the box down again.

Now that you are ready to escape, what are you doing with these burdens?
She was about to put the box aside, but finally hesitated, and took out a golden hairpin from it, which was left to him by his mother.

Madam Du looked forward to it. If she fled to Youzhou, would she still have a chance to return to Bingzhou to find her family?
Do you still have the face to face them?
But thinking of leaving Hanoi County and escaping from those annoying generals seeking marriage, especially Yang Chou who was always staring at her lewdly, Madam Du still chose to run away.

A few days ago, Lu Lingqi secretly found Mrs. Du and said that she had found a way to help her escape.

Mrs. Du was very surprised when she heard it at first, and asked in confusion: "How can the girl know people who know these connections?"

"Could it be that someone cheated?"

Lu Lingqi patted her chest and said triumphantly: "Madam, don't worry, the person Lingqi is looking for this time is absolutely reliable!"

These few simple slaps did not take into account the woman's image at all. Under Lu Lingqi's palm, there was a wave of rhythm that coincided with the principles of heaven and earth, and Madam Du was in a trance for a moment. I wondered why the hidden tiger was reluctant to let go. .

Seeing that Mrs. Du was still hesitating, Lu Lingqi said, "Don't worry, Madam, I have already agreed with others to take Madam to Youzhou to settle down for a period of time, and then return to Madam's hometown from Youzhou to Bingzhou after the news has passed."

Right now, Mrs. Du has no relatives in Hanoi. If she wants to rely on her mother's family in Bingzhou, and Youzhou is adjacent to Bingzhou, as long as she escapes to Youzhou, she has a chance to go back to her hometown.

Lu Lingqi said again: "I finally asked someone to open up the joint. My wife doesn't want to marry Yang Chou. This is the last and only chance."

Lu Lingqi did not lie, she made an agreement with Qu Yi that Qu Yi would find a way to help Mrs. Du escape, and she agreed to Qu Yi and told Lu Bu that she did not want to get married for the time being.

Lu Lingqi didn't know what Qu Yi was up to, but she had some resistance to marrying into the Yuan family, so she agreed without much hesitation.

Mrs. Du heard Lu Lingqi's words, and immediately said: "I am deeply grateful for the kindness of the girl, but I am afraid that I will not be able to meet again in the future, and I will not be able to repay the girl."

Lu Lingqi was also quite sad when she heard this, and said, "I don't know where I'm going to marry yet."

These days, the relationship between the two is getting deeper and deeper, and they are also feeling uncomfortable, and each is a little choked up.

In the end, Lu Lingqi and Mrs. Du agreed to wait for the news from there. Once the opportunity came, Mrs. Du would follow and escape from the city and embark on the road back to Youzhou.

Madam Du withdrew her thoughts, hid the golden hairpin in her bosom, carefully packed her baggage, sat back in front of the window again, and became dazed.

Seeing Chen Gui coming to say goodbye to him, Lu Bu couldn't help being a little surprised, and said, "Mr. Han Yu, why don't you stay for two more days?"

"Maybe Bu's poor hospitality made Mr. Ma unhappy?"

Chen Gui bowed and said, "Marquis Wen may have gotten the news that Mr. Yuan has already dispatched troops to Montenegro."

"No matter what Wenhou decides, if Gui stays any longer, I'm afraid it will embarrass Wenhou."

"That's why I'm here to say goodbye."

Lu Bu knew that he was hesitant about joining forces, and Chen Gui could see it, but he still didn't make up his mind to break up with Montenegro.

If according to what Chen Gui said, Yuan Shu would become emperor, then it would be right for him not to get involved, but if he rejected Yuan Shu's premise, he would inevitably turn against him.

Lu Bu had already become enemies with Cao Cao, and there was Yuan Shu, and finally joined forces with Youzhou to attack the Black Mountain Army. Wouldn't it be enemies on three sides?
However, it is not certain whether the benefits Yuan Xi promised can be fulfilled, and his promise is not enough to make Lu Bu tempted.

More importantly, these benefits can only be obtained after defeating the Black Mountain Army with Lu Bu, but the key point is, what if the attack on the Black Mountain Army fails?
Where else can Lu Bu go?
Therefore, Lu Bu had to wait, he had to see Yuan Xi and the Black Mountain Army's outcome was clear, and then he would choose to stand in line. Before that, he would not open his mouth.

Chen Gui also understood in his heart, he sighed, Yuan Xi really gave him a big problem.

In the final analysis, the price increase for Lu Bu is still not high enough, which has something to do with Yuan Xi's identity.

A governor of Youzhou who only occupies a few counties, his promises are indeed not convincing. At least the emperor Liu Xie can still be appointed as an official. What can Yuan Xi give?
So Chen Gui felt that it would be better if he walked away, let Lu Bu think about it, maybe there might be some changes, if Lu Bu could take a long-term view, maybe he could figure it out.

But now Chen Gui's even more headache is how to take a woman from Lu Bu's mansion out according to the secret letter.

Qin Yilu's ex-wife, Mrs. Du?
Chen Gui just wanted to scold her mother, what did Yuan Xi's spies think, if they wanted to bring Lu Lingqi, it would be of some use, why would they bring Mrs. Du?
Seeing that he couldn't keep Chen Gui, Lu Bu thought that Youzhou had sent a lot of good things anyway, and that buying and selling would not be benevolent. Make up your mind, prepare a little wine tonight, and see you off!"

What Chen Gui was waiting for was Lu Bu's words, and after a little humility, he agreed.

He just wanted to take this opportunity of going to the banquet to quietly take Mrs. Du out of the house!

The news that Lu Bu hosted a banquet for Chen Gui to see him off spread throughout the mansion. After Lu Lingqi learned about it, she thought it was time to fulfill the agreement with Qu Yi.

She found a free time and went to Lu Bu's house to cry, saying that she didn't want to get married yet and wanted to stay with Lu Bu for a while.

Lu Bu doted on Lu Lingqi's daughter quite a lot. Seeing her crying sadly, he remembered Chen Gui's words the day before yesterday, and immediately said, "You don't like this marriage. After a few days, I'll find someone to refuse it."

"But now it's not time to tear yourself apart with Yuan Shu, so please bear with it for a while."

Lu Lingqi was secretly delighted, she hugged Lu Bu coquettishly.

At this time in the city, Yang Chou was thinking about the secret letter from Yanzhou while supervising the preparation of military rations beside the granary.

Destroy the marriage between Yuan Shu and Lu Bu.

Thinking of the extremely outrageous order in the letter, Yang Chou's head grew three points, what should he do?
After much deliberation, the most effective way he could think of was to kill Lu Lingqi!

However, the strategy is extremely risky. If someone finds out, he will definitely be torn to pieces by Lu Bu!

But Yang Chou's family members had already been sent to Yanzhou, so Yang Chou had no choice but to continue on. Only by getting things done, could the family have a good home.

But how to kill Lu Lingqi in Lu Bu's mansion?

Yang Chou thought of Mrs. Du whom he coveted again. Relying on the excuse of proposing a marriage and relying on the goods sent by Yanzhou, he went to Lu's mansion to send gifts to Yan several times, opened up the relationship, and by the way, he had almost figured out the route.

As long as Lu Bu is not in the mansion, but relying on the Taiping Dao soldiers trained by Yanzhou to launch an assassination by surprise, there is still a high chance of success.

Of course, I will continue to lurk, so I have to do this without exposing myself.

As for Mrs. Du, although asking for marriage is a pretense, if the fake show really accepts Mrs. Du, he will also wish for it.

The best result would be to marry Mrs. Du, kill Lu Lingqi, strip herself completely, and return to Yanzhou to be an official in the future.

Thinking of this, Yang Chou also felt a little regretful. Then Lu Lingqi was also a beauty, so it would be a pity to die like this.

But in front of the high officials and rich salary promised by Yanzhou, everything is not important anymore.

When the undercurrent in Hanoi was surging and various forces began to intervene, some people in Yuzhou in the south were also preparing to send troops into Sili.

Yuan Shu.

At this time, he was sitting on the throne of the extremely luxurious palace, with his two beloved concubines in his arms, and said to Zhang Xunqiaorui and others who were kneeling on his hands: "Lv Bu has not agreed to the marriage between the two parties for so long, you really look down on me!"

"You led an army of [-], entered Hanoi in the name of welcoming your relatives, and threatened Lu Bu!"

"I don't believe it. How dare he not agree when soldiers come to the city!"

Qiao Rui lowered her head, thinking to herself that the lord really wanted to do whatever he wanted to do, relying on his strength, he would force anyone to overwhelm him.

In doing so, can you find real allies?
