Another World Super Dimension Summoner

(Historically, Jia Xu was a general under Dong Zhuo, and held the rank of Suppressing Enemy Captain, a position lower than that of a general but higher than that of a captain. He was... a quasi-general, right?)

As for the killing of Cai Yong, that was even more outrageous.

The novel also whitewashed Wang Yun a little bit, making Cai Yong mourn for Dong Zhuo in public. In this case, from the perspective of the Han court, Cai Yong's death was not a pity. After all, Dong Zhuo was a traitor who was recognized by the world as a disaster to the country and the people. He was the kind of person who could be killed by everyone. As a leader of the literati, Cai Yong actually mourned for Dong Zhuo? Is this reasonable?

Isn't this equivalent to indirectly leading the Shilin community to admit that Dong Zhuo's death was unjust?

You said Cai Yong was just grateful to Dong Zhuo for his recognition?

Do you want the whole world to thoroughly understand that you are mourning for Dong Zhuo only because he has helped you?

Have you asked the countless people in the two capitals whose families were destroyed because of Dong Zhuo?

So in this situation, there was really no problem for Wang Yun to kill Cai Yong.

But history is a different story. In history, Cai Yong was not so brainless. He was just participating in the celebration banquet after Wang Yun killed Dong Zhuo. Perhaps he was grateful for Dong Zhuo's recognition, or he felt that the world was changing so fast, so he just sighed. Just after this sigh, Wang Yun noticed it and cursed at him and put Cai Yong in prison and executed him.

Later, Cai Yong even submitted a letter of admission of guilt in prison and requested to be punished by having his forehead engraved with ink and his feet amputated, just for a chance to complete the history of Han Dynasty. Many ministers in the court pleaded for Cai Yong, but Wang Yun actually ordered the execution of Cai Yong, ignoring the opposition of many ministers in the court, on the grounds that Emperor Wu of Han did not kill Sima Qian, thus allowing the slanderous book to be passed on to future generations.

Just from this incident, we can see how arrogant Wang Yun was after Dong Zhuo's death.

Of course, there is also the fact that Dong Zhuo admired and loved Cai Yong during his lifetime, which is really a reason that makes people jealous.

Cai Yong was forcibly recruited by Dong Zhuo. After returning to Luoyang, he was appointed by Dong Zhuo as Imperial Censor, Imperial Censor-in-Chief, and Minister of the Imperial Secretariat. Within three days, he traveled to all three palaces. Later, he was promoted to the governor of Ba County and was retained as the Palace Attendant. Others might not be able to get these positions in their lifetime, but Cai Yong traveled all the way within a few days. Before being forcibly recruited by Dong Zhuo, Cai Yong had taken refuge in Jiangdong, away from the center of the empire for more than ten years. It is no exaggeration to say that he was a famous commoner.

In this case, it is really hard to say whether there was jealousy behind Wang Yun's killing of Cai Yong.

Let’s get back to the topic.

Xiao Bai added, "To be honest, the difference between Wang Yun's past and present is so huge that I even doubt whether there is something wrong with the historical records."

Qin Bin said, "In fact, it seems outrageous, but history is not completely unreliable, because once you have achieved something, you tend to be proud of yourself and make stupid decisions. There are not only people in reality, but also many of them. Let's not talk about the distant past. Think about Dong Zhuo's life. Isn't he such a person?"

Xiao Bai paused for a moment, then said in sudden realization, "That's true. Dong Zhuo's first half of his life was simply a model of a great man of this era. But after he completely took control of Luoyang, his continuous mindless actions seemed extremely stupid. He really looked similar to Wang Yun."

Qin Bin added, "So, after someone succeeds in something, he must not become complacent, otherwise he will definitely die miserably. This is the truth."

Xiaobai nodded slightly, "Indeed."

As they were talking, they arrived in front of Wang Yun's residence.

Xiao Bai asked again, "Go in directly? Or post a message?"

"Just go in. After all, you only want to see Diao Chan, not Wang Yun."

As Qin Bin spoke, he teleported Xiaobai into the mansion.

There were quite a few maids and servants in the mansion, but because of Qin Bin and Xiaobai's cognitive interference technique, they ignored the two people walking around the mansion openly.

After walking around the mansion for a while, Qin Bin and Xiao Bai saw a middle-aged man in smart clothes.

It looks like a butler or something like that.

Qin Bin also captured his attention.

Xiaobai also directly asked whether there was an adopted daughter or singer named Diao Chan in the mansion, and if so, where she was.

The middle-aged man responded with empty eyes.

"I have never heard of Diao Chan, and the master of the family does not have an adopted daughter."

"No..." Xiaobai was a little disappointed.

"No hurry." Qin Bin patted Xiao Bai's shoulder and asked the man, "Has your master taken in any young women recently?"

Chapter 335: Diao Chan, tied up

The middle-aged man responded, "Yes, when the palace was in chaos a few days ago, several palace maids fled to the vicinity of the mansion. When the master of the house saw them, he saw that they were quite pretty, so he kept them in the mansion as singing girls."

Xiaobai's eyes lit up, "Where are those women?"

"In XXX Courtyard." The middle-aged man mumbled a place name.

"Forget it, you lead the way."

"Yes."

After the middle-aged man responded, he took a few steps forward stiffly to lead the way for Qin Bin and Xiaobai.

Not long after, Qin Bin and Xiaobai were brought to a quiet and elegant courtyard.

After entering the courtyard, Qin Bin let the middle-aged man leave on his own.

The middle-aged man returned to the position where he had been distracted before, and then he regained consciousness. Knowing nothing, he quickly continued to do what he was supposed to do.

As for Qin Bin and Xiaobai, they didn't need to look for anyone in this larger courtyard, because they could feel that there were nineteen people here, but only one of them had a faint Wushuang Seal. If nothing unexpected happened, this person might be Diao Chan.

The two of them went straight to the faint aura of the Wushuang Seal, and soon saw a beautiful girl playing the piano in a pavilion by the lake.

The girl looked pure and pretty, but not particularly outstanding. She just looked okay.

But the truth is that she changed her appearance.

This kind of disguise can deceive ordinary people's eyes, but it can't deceive Xiaobai.

Xiaobai has a natural talent that can break through barriers, so even this kind of manual disguise can be seen through conceptually in an instant.

After seeing the other person's true face, Xiao Bai couldn't help but say, "This must be Diao Chan. Tsk tsk, sure, if it's her true face, it would really make two men fight to the death for her regardless of gains and losses."

"So exaggerated?" Although Qin Bin could see that the other party had traces of disguise, he did not have the talent to break through the barriers. He really could not see the other party's true appearance with the naked eye, so he asked this question.

"It's not an exaggeration at all. If this woman dresses up, her allure to men will be no less than before she achieved the Divine Realm."

"That's truly a rare beauty in the world - and then what?" Qin Bin looked at Xiaobai.

Xiao Bai raised the corner of his mouth, "Of course he was tied up."

"Tie her..."

When Qin Bin was about to ask "Why tie her up?", the girl's body was controlled by Xiaobai and floated in front of the two of them.

Then Xiaobai said to Qin Bin with a smile while the little girl was confused.

"Let me ask you a question. What can you think of that is the most cost-effective and efficient way to get the Han people to quickly accept you as an outsider?"

Qin Bin paused slightly, looked at Xiaobai, then looked at the girl who was gradually coming to her senses but was restricted from speaking, and soon understood.

"I understand what you mean, but does this count as asking me to sacrifice my looks?"

“It feels like you’re getting a bargain but still acting cute~”

Qin Bin smiled and said, "It does have that flavor. But she is not good enough."

Xiao Bai nodded, "Of course it's not enough. The most ideal is a princess. The next best is the daughter of a famous family. By the way, are there any beautiful princesses of marriageable age in the Han court at this time?"

Qin Bin shook his head, "I don't know. Besides, the princess is not suitable, at least not for me. The daughter of a rich family is better. After all, the relationship between the daughter of a rich family and the Han court is not as direct as that of the princess, and it will be less awkward to get along with her in the future."

"Yes, we have to destroy the Han court. To the princess, we are the great enemies who destroyed the country and the family. For the sake of the internal harmony of our Qin family in the future, we should find someone from a famous family... How about Cai Yan? Although the Cai family is not a wealthy family, Cai Yong is famous enough."

"If Cai Wei hasn't formed a marriage alliance at this time, then it would be possible."

"It doesn't matter if there is an arranged marriage. As long as the wedding hasn't taken place yet, you can just snatch it away."

"You sound too much like a bandit." Qin Bin shook his head in amusement. "Let's talk about this later. Now that you've kidnapped the person, where are you going next?"

"Go find Cai Yong."

"You, okay."

Qin Bin reached out and rubbed Xiaobai's little head lovingly, then withdrew his hand and looked back at the disguised girl.

Xiaobai also took the opportunity to release the restrictions on the girl, allowing her to move and speak freely.

Qin Bin asked, "What's your name?"

The girl was very panicked because Qin Bin and Xiaobai had communicated in Chinese before and she could roughly understand their conversation. Because she understood it, she couldn't help but feel scared.

However, she quickly calmed down, and was very clear that after hearing these words, she was doomed to be trapped, so she bowed as politely as possible and responded.

"My name is Ren, and my nickname is Hongchang."

The girl's voice was very charming, even Qin Bin found it refreshing, but the name made Qin Bin couldn't help but shake his head.

This is because Hongchang means "Hongchang" in Yuan Dynasty drama. Chang means a singing girl who entertains others, and it also refers to a prostitute.

Hongchang is the top singer or prostitute.

Qin Bin asked uncertainly, "Do you have any other names? This should be the name you chose to hide your identity, right? Just like your face."

"......" The girl paused slightly, not knowing how to respond for a moment.

Qin Bin continued, "Your name is Diao Chan, right? Your adoptive father's name is Ren Ang, and your family lives in Mu'er Village?"

The girl was stunned and looked up at Qin Bin.

This reaction proves that Qin Bin is right.

Xiao Bai looked over in confusion, "Which version is this?"

Qin Bin said, "This is a setting in the Yuan Dynasty's Romance of the Three Kingdoms. By the way, in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Diao Chan was originally Lu Bu's wife, but she was separated from Lu Bu in the early years of war. Later, she entered the Han Palace and was spotted by Wang Yun, who used her to implement a series of schemes."

"Oh, that just sounds ridiculous."

"It's really bloody, but that was the Yuan Dynasty, so I think this kind of setting is quite attractive." Qin Bin nodded, then looked at the girl again and asked, "Diao Chan, are you Lu Bu's wife?"

Diao Chan gradually came to her senses, but shook her head and said, "My adoptive father is indeed Ren Ang, my nickname is indeed Diao Chan, and my family is also in Mu'er Village, Bingzhou. I was also displaced due to the war and entered the Han Palace. Although I have heard of Lu Bu's name, I have never met Lu Bu, so how can I be Lu Bu's wife?"

When Diao Chan was speaking, Xiao Bai also carefully sensed it and said with a smile, "I am not lying, I am a perfect virgin."

Diao Chan was stunned.

Qin Bin rolled his eyes, "No need to stress."

"Hehe~" Xiaobai smiled and spread his hands to signal Qin Bin to continue.

Qin Bin said to Diao Chan, "I will tell you everything later. Now, you just need to know that you have been kidnapped by me."

Diao Chan regained her composure and said with a wry smile, "I will follow you two gentlemen."

She had no choice, and as she knew how to judge the situation, she could only obey.

"very good."

Qin Bin was satisfied, and then he used his mind to carry Diao Chan and let her float up.

When Diao Chan was frightened, she flew into the sky with Xiaobai...

Chapter 336: Era and the Unparalleled Seal

Qin Bin and Xiao Bai did not take Diao Chan away from Luoyang, but went to the Shangshu Terrace to find Lu Zhi.

At this time, Lu Zhi had been reinstated as Shangshu.

The Shangshu was not of high rank in the Eastern Han Dynasty, but he was responsible for issuing orders and submitting memorials to the court, assisting in confidential matters and other work that directly connected with the emperor. He could be called the emperor's full-time clerk and aide.

The Secretariat was originally under the jurisdiction of Shaofu, one of the Nine Ministers. However, because it was too special and had frequent contact with the emperor, it gradually became more and more powerful after Emperor Wu, and finally the Secretariat became an independent department. During the Sui and Tang dynasties, although the Shangshu Ling became a nominal position, the Shangshu Pushe under the Secretariat had greater real power and became another name equivalent to the prime minister.

It is now the Eastern Han Dynasty. Although the Secretariat is not as powerful as the Three Dukes and Nine Ministers, it is still the key position that has most frequent contact with the emperor, and its actual influence in the Han court is not much less than that of the Nine Ministers.

The reason why Qin Bin looked for Lu Zhi was actually because Lu Zhi was famous enough in the literati circle and was known as a great scholar. The literati circle in the Eastern Han Dynasty could be said to be a circle that could not be avoided. Lu Zhi and Cai Yong were old acquaintances. Before the outbreak of the Yellow Turban Rebellion, Lu Zhi and Cai Yong had worked together in the Eastern Palace to review classics. It was normal for Lu Zhi to know where Cai Yong was going. Even if he didn't know, he could use the Han court intelligence system through the Secretariat.

(Dongguan: Located in the Nangong Palace in Luoyang, it was the place where the palace stored archives and books and where people proofread and wrote.)

Although according to historical descriptions, Cai Yong lived in seclusion in Wuhui County, Kuaiji County for more than ten years, he did not return to Luoyang until the sixth year of Zhongping because of Dong Zhuo's forced conscription.

But Cai Yong did not really stay in Kuaiji. After his enemies in the court died or were demoted, Cai Yong often traveled back and forth between Taishan Yangshi and Jiangdong.

By the way, Cai Zhenji (the name is questionable), the eldest daughter of Cai Yong and the sister of Cai Wenji, married a woman from the Yang family of Taishan in history and gave birth to a famous official in history, the famous general of the Western Jin Dynasty - Yang Hu.

Now we don’t know whether Cai Yong has been ordered to be recruited by Dong Zhuo. We can find him by blindly going south to look for him, but it will take some effort.

For this reason, it would be better to see if he can get information about Cai Yong from Lu Zhi. At the same time, Qin Bin also wants to meet Lu Zhi, one of the three heroes of the late Han Dynasty.

They just went to the Shangshu Tai and looked around, but found that Lu Zhi was not there. After finding out the location of Lu Zhi's mansion through the officials of the Shangshu Tai, Qin Bin and others went there to look for him.

But after arriving at Lu Zhi's mansion, he learned from the servants that Lu Zhi had already gone out of the city to do business.

In response to this, Qin Bin and Xiao Bai decided to just wait at Lu Zhi's mansion.
