The Three Kingdoms: My Wife is a Great and Good Teacher

"Why do you think this is the case?" Dong Zhuo asked Jia Xu, "Is it because I didn't give enough? Or is it just because I'm not a prince or general, but a 'rude person' from Xiliang?"

Jia Xu bowed his head and replied, "When the prime minister was dominating Xiliang, the ministers in the court were still sleeping soundly at home. How could those who have never held a bow and arrow know about the prime minister's achievements?"

Hearing this, Dong Zhuo's expression softened slightly, and he then asked, "Why did the ministers treat me like this?"

Jia Xu pondered for a moment, then said: "The Prime Minister should already know the reason."

After two seconds of silence, Dong Zhuo narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "Just because I deposed the emperor?"

"Liu Bian was born to Empress Dowager He, He Jin's followers have not been eliminated, and I have not passed the throne to an outsider. The second son of the late emperor, Liu Xie, has the ability to inherit the throne."

"Prime Minister...you should remember the will of heaven..." Jia Xu said again.

"Heaven's will?" Dong Zhuo laughed. "Even if I don't touch the golden man, do they really think that Heaven's will remain?"

"Zhao Zhong has used the Jade Seal. Anyone of Han bloodline can mobilize the divine tool of national destiny. If I don't take precautions, Luoyang will see a second 'evil spirit chaos'. This is why I destroyed a golden man."

Dong Zhuo snorted coldly, and in an instant all the porcelain cups and bowls on the table were shattered.

"A bunch of fools. If I really wanted to depose the emperor, why did I only destroy one?"

Jia Xu and Li Ru immediately lowered their bodies even lower.

"Forget it." Dong Zhuo waved his hand. "We don't rely on these people to accomplish great things. As long as they don't cause us any more trouble, that's fine."

"How is Yuan Shao now?"

"He is still in prison. Grand Tutor Yuan Wei has come to plead for him many times..." Li Ru replied respectfully.

"Then let Yuan Wei discipline her. Although she is an eagle, she doesn't want to be tainted by filth and will only show her edge." Dong Zhuo said calmly.

"Such a person will never achieve anything great."

So there is nothing to be afraid of.

"You two may leave for now. There have been a lot of things going on lately and I am even more tired than when I was in Xiliang. I also need to take a rest." Dong Zhuo said.

Li Ru and Jia Xu retreated in response.

Dong Zhuo stood up and looked at Lu Bu, with a thoughtful look on his face. Then he asked, "What do you think, Fengxian?"

Lu Bu listened to everything. Although he was not as wise as Jia Xu and Li Ru, Dong Zhuo also wanted to hear what the young Lu Bu thought about this matter.

"The Prime Minister came to power without a major battle, and was overshadowed by Zhao Zhong during the chaos of the evil spirit. He never showed his strength, so naturally the ministers were not afraid of him." Lu Bu said.

"Hahaha." Dong Zhuo laughed, his purple eyes full of joy.

"My daughter Fengxian understands me first!"

"I just hope that those ministers and princes will not mistake my pity for weakness and be bullied." Dong Zhuo sneered.

Then he said to Lu Bu, "Regarding the matter of Fengxian's sister, we have already sent 80% of the divination experts under the order of the Grand Historian to investigate. It seems that her fate star is obscured by something, but it is estimated that it will not take long to get the result."

Upon hearing this, Lu Bu's expressionless face finally showed some spirit. She bowed her head and saluted to Dong Zhuo, "Thank you, Prime Minister."

Then Dong Zhuo yawned and went to the bedroom to rest.

Lu Bu also looked unusually energetic, clenching his fists, and his belief became even stronger.

"Sister, I'll find you soon..."

Then, because Lu Bu was in a good mood, he took the initiative to practice martial arts in the Prime Minister's residence, which was rare. When she was swinging a long spear that was taller than her, the slight movement coming from outside the door made her white ears move slightly.

Is there a thief?

Then she put away her halberd, jumped up and jumped over the wall to the other side. Just as she was about to kill the thief who dared to steal from the prime minister's mansion with her halberd, she suddenly saw a familiar person.

A tall woman in a black and red official uniform, with long black hair and a free and easy temperament was only two fingers away from her halberd.

Lu Bu believed that if he had slowed down a little, the white neck of the person in front of him would have been pierced by the dark golden halberd in his hand.

But the person in front of him showed no fear at all. Not only did he not retreat an inch, he even had a smile on his face.

"I was wondering which fire phoenix fell from the sky. It turned out to be General Lu." Cao Cao said with a smile.

After Lu Bu saw clearly that it was Cao Cao, his vigilant expression immediately disappeared, and he quickly put away his halberd and placed it beside him.

"It turned out to be Captain Cao. I thought it was another thief who broke into the mansion."

"A thief who can come to the Prime Minister's residence to steal must be still in the womb, right?" Cao Cao smiled and looked at Lu Bu with sincere admiration.

"Besides, with a man like General Lu who is unrivaled in the world here, even if that thief is an evil spirit, he is just a ghost under the general's halberd, right?"

Cao Cao's praise made Lu Bu feel more cheerful. Facing this captain of the Xiyuan Army who had been frequenting the Prime Minister's residence recently and could be regarded as a favorite of the Prime Minister, although Lu Bu had never chatted with her, he had seen her many times before.

"Captain Cao is quite eloquent," Lü Bu said, "Although I am very brave, I still cannot easily deal with the evil spirit."

"If I had such strength back then..."

"At that time?" Cao Cao wondered.

Lu Bu came back to his senses and shook his head again: "Nothing."

She put away her Fang Tian Hua Ji and said to Cao Cao, "Captain Cao, are you here to see the Prime Minister?"

"That's right." Cao Cao nodded.

"The Prime Minister just had a conversation with Li Ru and Jia Xu. After listening to their reports, he felt a little angry and has gone to rest now." Lu Bu said.

"Is that so?" Cao Cao's mind moved slightly, but his face still had the same smile as always.

"I also have some things I want to report to the Prime Minister, but... the Prime Minister has been really busy these days, and I don't know if it will bother her." At the end, Cao Cao's expression showed a hint of worry.

"Captain Cao is deeply loved by the Prime Minister. Even if you really disturb the Prime Minister, he will not blame you given his magnanimity." Lu Bu comforted.

"That's different. After all, I'm not General Lu." Cao Cao said with a smile.

"By the way, I heard that General Lu has an older sister who disappeared during the Yellow River Rebellion?" Cao Cao suddenly asked, with the purpose of getting closer to Lu Bu.

"It's not the Yellow River Rebellion." Lu Bu frowned and said, "But... it is indeed gone."

"Is that so? I think General Lu should be a filial and loving person." Cao Cao looked at Lu Bu, who was a head shorter than him, and said after thinking for a moment.

"It is indeed a pity that your only eldest sister in the family has lost contact, but maybe your sister is lucky enough not to end up in the same situation as the disaster victims. Instead, she may be living a leisurely life in some remote place now."

"I do know a famous fortune teller, General Lu, how about I take you there later? General Lu, don't worry, I, Cao Cao, will cover all the expenses."

Cao Cao's enthusiasm made Lu Bu a little embarrassed. After all, in Lu Bu's eyes, Cao Cao was only an acquaintance with him before. He was suddenly so enthusiastic. In Lu Bu's opinion, Cao Cao probably wanted to win him over so as to secure his status as a "celebrity" in Dong Zhuo's eyes.

Lu Bu had experienced this kind of flattery many times before, but unlike others, Cao Cao was a talent that Dong Zhuo really valued.

Therefore, Lu Bu did not treat others like he did, just glaring at them and releasing his aura to make those who flatter him retreat or retreat.

Well, since he couldn't ask anyone to leave, Lu Bu would just leave on his own.

"Thank you for your concern, Captain Cao. The Prime Minister has already promised me regarding my sister's matter. He will ask the Grand Historian to do the divination and will also issue a document to search across the country." When Lu Bu finished speaking, he saw Cao Cao moving his lips, so he quickly bowed to Cao Cao before she could speak.

"I have something else to do, so I'll take my leave now. Captain Cao can wait for the Prime Minister to wake up in the garden next door. It shouldn't take too long."

After saying that, Lu Bu quickly left with his Fang Tian Hua Ji, as if he was afraid that Cao Cao would pester her again.

Cao Cao did take a few steps forward, but he only took a few steps and did not really chase Lu Bu.

The expression on his face slowly returned to calm, and Cao Cao turned to look at the house on the other side of the garden, his eyes narrowed slightly.

At this moment, she no longer had the air of flattery and fawning from before, instead, she only had hatred and coldness towards the evil beast.

Reaching out and gently touching his ribs, Cao Cao felt a stiffness, then walked into the garden in a very natural manner.

The small garden only had some rockery, green bamboos and birds. Cao Cao walked forward on the stone road covered with many bamboo leaves. When she passed through a small bamboo forest, she startled many birds and they started to cry.

Those colorful birds circled above Cao Cao's head, and several of them made clear and sharp calls at her.

Cao Cao pondered for a moment and realized that these spirit beasts sensed a certain aura, the aura coming from the things inside her clothes.

This won't do, we have to get rid of it.

Just as Cao Cao was about to pick some bamboo leaves, two soldiers in silver armor suddenly came up to him.

"What's going on? Why are these stupid birds suddenly making so much noise?"

The two soldiers just took a few steps when they saw Cao Cao. After seeing Cao Cao, the two soldiers were surprised and immediately saluted him: "Captain Cao."

Cao Cao nodded. "The bird in the forest seems to be frightened. Should it be okay?"

"It's okay, it's okay. We came here quickly because we were afraid of disturbing the Prime Minister's rest." The soldier responded quickly.

"Yes, Captain Cao, don't worry, we will take care of these birds. We will drive them to another garden right away."

As ordinary guards in the mansion, the two soldiers had long known Cao Cao, who had been entering and leaving the Prime Minister's mansion at least three times a day recently.

The two soldiers certainly did not dare to neglect this man who would almost certainly become a favorite of the Prime Minister and be promoted to the rank of Nine Ministers or even Three Dukes in the future.

Cao Cao was also very polite to them. He bowed and said, "Thank you very much. I have something to report to the Prime Minister. I am afraid that the Prime Minister will not be able to notice it after waking up, so I came to wait outside the room where the Prime Minister is resting."

"Okay then." The two soldiers nodded readily. "We'll drive these birds away and come back soon. We'll also bring a mat for Captain Cao."

Cao Cao also smiled and expressed his gratitude.

After the two soldiers left, Cao Cao walked through the garden again and came to the corridor.

Looking to the left and right, there were still a few soldiers standing in the distance guarding the place. As Dong Zhuo's resting place, no matter how safe the Prime Minister's Mansion was, she had arranged a lot of soldiers to guard it.

At this time, Cao Cao also understood that he could not hesitate.

She only explained to the two soldiers who were guarding the main gate that she would wait in front of the gate, and the other guards were unaware of it.

Therefore, as long as Cao Cao entered the house with a calm expression, the other soldiers would only think that Cao Cao, a popular figure around Dong Zhuo, hurried in because he was summoned by Dong Zhuo.

To do something like this, you need to be bold but also careful.

Arriving at the door, Cao Cao stretched out his hand and placed it on the wooden door with exquisite carvings. Then he exerted force with his arm and slowly pushed the door open.

As expected, the soldiers in the distance did not have any suspicions. Cao Cao even took off his shoes before entering the door. It seemed that he did not want his soles, which were stained with mud and dust from stepping through the garden, to dirty the expensive floor in the room.

Even after entering, he held up his sleeves, careful not to touch the plants growing out of the pots, or to waft the incense so as not to disturb the woman lying on the couch covered with a huge white bear blanket.

Cao Cao has always paid attention to these details, which is one of the reasons why Dong Zhuo admires her very much.

Cao Cao did the same this time, but unlike in the past, he paid attention to details in order to make Dong Zhuo have a better impression and perception of him.

This time, Cao Cao just wanted to avoid waking her up.

Walking slowly across the screen, Cao Cao came to Dong Zhuo's bed.

Her footsteps were soundless, and her breath was so hidden that she seemed like a ghost.

However, this is not enough.

Cao Cao had to ensure that his attack would be successful with one strike, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous.

She slowly walked to the side of Dong Zhuo's bed, then slowly pulled the curtain of the window. For a moment, Dong Zhuo's entire bed was plunged into darkness.

Dong Zhuo closed his eyes and frowned slightly.

After observing this situation, Cao Cao stood there motionless.

Cao Cao didn't breathe a sigh of relief until Dong Zhuo reached out and scratched his cheek and then resumed his breathing.

Immediately afterwards, a hint of gold slowly appeared in Cao Cao's eyes, and then her figure disappeared into the darkness.

In the darkness, an invisible shadow came behind Dong Zhuo's bed, and the invisible shadow slowly took out a sharp blade from his arms.

As the sharp blade got closer to Dong Zhuo, its shape gradually became apparent.

As if appearing out of thin air, a sharp sword tip began to appear above Dong Zhuo's head.

Half of the sword slowly emerged from the darkness, and a hand pointed at Dong Zhuo.

As long as this sword fell and hit Dong Zhuo's head, this treacherous minister who deposed the emperor and dreamed of replacing the Han Dynasty would be killed on the spot.

And the assassin can also become famous throughout the world.

The invisible hand in the darkness immediately used the divine power to restrict Dong Zhuo's movements.

In just a moment, Dong Zhuo felt the threat and opened her purple eyes, but when she was about to move, she found that her body could not move at all.

And when she was about to speak, the person in the darkness was already prepared. The fingers of that hand just slightly tightened, and Dong Zhuo's mouth was immediately tied up with an invisible rope, making it impossible for him to make any sound.

At the same time, Dong Zhuo saw the sharp blade flashing with terrifying coldness coming towards her.

As she watched the sharp blade enlarge her eyes and pierce through them, the panic in Dong Zhuo's eyes, who was about to die, slowly faded away.

"Roar!"
