Back to the Three Kingdoms

Early in the morning, Li Ru came to the government office early, ready to handle the day's government affairs.

Suddenly, a close friend rushed in and submitted a letter, reporting: "My lord, someone sent a secret letter to the government office, saying that there is a major issue to discuss with the adult."

Li Ru felt strange, took the letter, opened it, took out a roll of sheepskin, and unfolded it and read it again. Li Ru was suddenly surprised, and said: "Is the Xianbei emissary again? What's the matter?" Then he asked the cronies: "Where is the person?" Faithfully said: "Waiting for the call of the adults at the door." Li Ru Hastily ordered: "Call him in immediately!" The cronies promised and ran down.

After a while, I saw a middle-aged man dressed in Han costume but clearly showing the temperament of the grassland, following his cronies. The middle-aged man is not very tall, but very strong, and his eyebrows reveal a tiger-wolf aggression.

The cronies pointed to Li Ru and said to the middle-aged man: "This is our Lord Li Ru Li."

The middle-aged man took a look at Li Ru, pressed his chest, and said, "I am the messenger of Da Xianbei Da Shan Yu, Qiangu, I have seen Master Li." He spoke Chinese, but his tone was a little weird.

Li Ru frowned and said, "You said you were an envoy from Xianbei?"

Gan Gu proudly said: "Exactly!"

Li Ru shook his head and said, "No! You are a fake!"

Qian Gu smiled and said, "When you first meet, you don't believe that it is normal." Then he took out a gold goshawk ring from his arms and handed it to Li Ru, saying, "Master Li has a lot of knowledge and knowledge, I must recognize this gold. Ring!"

With a heart move, Li Ru quickly took the gold ring and turned it over until he examined it carefully. He was surprised and said: "The workmanship is so exquisite, it must be the token of Xianbei Dadanyu, the Goshawk gold ring?"

Gan Gu smiled and nodded, "Master Li is really knowledgeable! This is the Goshawk Golden Ring!"

Li Ru looked down at Jin Jie again, frowned and shook his head and said, "No! I still can't believe that you are really the messenger of Xianbei Shanyu!" Looking at Qian Gu, "Not long ago, Xianbei Dadanyu's uncle came here not long ago. , Now lives in the guest house! Since Xianbei Da Shanyu sent his uncle as a secret envoy, how could he send another secret envoy!" Then Jin Jie thrown back to Qian Gu, shouting loudly. : "Come on! Catch me this scammer!"

Two guards rushed in from the door immediately and pressed Qiangu to the ground.

Gan Gu was shocked, and became very angry, and shouted: "If you dare to be rude to me, you are offending the entire Da Xianbei! You are so brave!"

Li Ru was startled, and secretly said, ‘If he is really Xianbei’s emissary, he might be in trouble. Seeing that the guard would drag him down, he hurriedly called: "Hold on!"

The guard stopped.

Seeing that Gan Gu stared at him angrily, Li Ru didn't have the slightest fear at all, and his heart became even more hopeless. He waved back the guard, frowned and asked, "You are really the Xianbei emissary!" Qian Gu said angrily, "I am the clerical officer under the seat of Dadanyu. You have already seen the Goshawk Golden Ring, what else can you doubt? !"

Li Ru asked in confusion: "Then, what happened to that uncle Xianbei?"

Gan Gu snorted, "He must be a fake! Where is the emperor from where we are! What a dare to pretend to be our Xianbei messenger, he is really impatient! Where is he? , You let me see him!"

Seeing him so aggressive, Li Ru couldn't help but believe a little bit more. Hurriedly said: "Your envoy is safe and restless, let me report to the Taishi first. Please ask your envoy to live with me for the time being." Gan Gu thought for a while and nodded. Li Ru hurriedly ordered his cronies to take him to the courtyard to settle down temporarily.

Li Ru immediately summoned two cronies, Wang Gu and Zhang Lie, to briefly talk aside what happened just now. Wang Gu and Zhang Lie looked at each other, and Wang Gu frowned and said, "Why is there another Xianbei emissary?" Zhang Lie frowned, "Listening to what the lord said, this person has a madness, and there is a goshawk representing the Xianbei imperial family. Golden Ring, it must be true!"

Wang Gu said in an unpleasant manner: "If he is true, isn't the uncle Xianbei fake? I really can't agree! I think this Qiangu is very strange!" He looked at Li Ru and said, "Will he be? Is it Chen Lang’s conspiracy? That Jia Xu is in Guanzhong. This person has always been deceitful and understands our internal situation very well. He must have learned the news that Emperor Xianbei is in our place through careful study, so he deliberately sent this dry ancient to disturb us to sow discord. If we listened to Gangu’s silly words and killed the uncle Xianbei, we might be caught in the other party’s tricks!!"

Li Ru felt that this was very possible, and couldn't help nodding.

Zhang Lie said, "Although that is the case, it is also possible that the uncle Xianbei is a fake!"

Wang Gu frowned and said, "This matter is quite tricky. I think it should be reported to the Taishi immediately and the Taishi decides."

Zhang Lie immediately objected: "No! If you report to the Taishi at this moment, wouldn't it make the Taishi think that the adult has done something wrong? I think it is more appropriate to report the matter to the Taishi after the matter is resolved!"

Li Ru took it seriously and asked, "How do you think I should solve this?"

Zhang Lie clasped his fist and said: "The best way to distinguish the authenticity is to confront the two."

Li Ru nodded, "So, I will have a banquet tonight. At the same time, I will host Harugu and Gangu. You can make a decision after seeing the two people's words and deeds!" Zhang Lie Wanggu clasped his fist and said, "My lord is wise!" Li Ru commanded: "You two will secretly transfer swords and axes to ambush around the hall. At the banquet, they rushed into the hall when they heard me throw a glass." The two hurried off with a promise.

It is said that Chen Lang is preparing to evacuate. All the packing has been prepared. He only carries the gold from horse sales, and almost all his luggage is discarded. The thousands of great horses that Chen Lang brought had already been sold, and now all the thousands of great horses had turned into gold. The Xiongnu cavalry led by Temuzhen and part of the fangs led by Li Gun had already taken gold out of Tianshui in the name of fighting for the front. Everything is ready, just waiting for the city hunt tomorrow! Of course, if he goes out, he won't come back again!

A guard rushed in and presented an invitation card with both hands, saying: "Master, Master Li Ru sent someone to send the invitation card!"

Chen Lang took the invitation, opened it, and saw that it read: Today is the birthday of the scumbag. If your Excellency Haruku does not dislike it, please come and have a glass of water and wine in the lower mansion to show respect.

Chen Lang did not doubt that he had him, and said to Dianwei: "Li Ru invites me to drink, you come with me." Dianwei clasped his fist and promised.

When night fell, Wan Lai was quiet, and Chen Lang went outside the gate of Li Ru's mansion, all in civilian clothes, accompanied by Dian Wei. Several servants greeted him immediately, the one who led the horse, the one who received the weapon, the servant who was in charge, bowed and said: "My adults have been waiting in the hall for a long time, please come with the younger ones!" Chen Lang and Dian Wei entered the gate and went straight to the hall.

Chen Lang saw the deserted hall in the hall. Except for the Li Ru sitting above, there were only three guests, and Chen Lang didn't know all the three guests. Judging from his temperament, he didn't seem to be a Han. Chen Lang whispered in his heart, and he couldn't help being vigilant.

Seeing Chen Lang's arrival, Li Ru didn't dare to neglect, he hurriedly got up to greet him, and said with a smile on his face: "Your Excellency, the humble house, makes the humble house shine!!" But the three guests present watched coldly. With Chen Lang.

Chen Lang smiled slightly at Li Ru, then walked to the left corner and sat down. He raised his head and glanced at the three big guys sitting across from him. Seeing that the three of them looked very unkind, subconsciously felt that Li Ru was going to give himself a banquet? Is your identity leaked? Chen Lang thought of Madam Dong first, wondering if she had informed her? However, Chen Lang quickly rejected this speculation, because if Mrs. Dong informed the case, then it should not be Li Ru, but Dong Zhuo who gave the Hongmen banquet! Chen Lang had planned for the worst in his heart, but he didn't feel any nervousness or fear. He wanted to see what Li Ru was going to play with him!

Li Ru looked at Chen Lang and then at Gan Gu, and said with a smile: "Aren't the two messengers from Da Xianbei? Why don't they seem to know each other?"

Chen Lang suddenly realized: So that's it, the person who came is the messenger of Xianbei, it's no wonder Li Ru played this hand with me. But why didn't he report to Dong Zhuo? By the way, he shouldn't be able to tell who is real and who is fake. He was afraid of being blamed by Dong Zhuo, so he privately set up this banquet for me to confront the Xianbei envoy! Or maybe this so-called Xianbei messenger is simply fake, and Li Ru tried to test himself.

Chen Lang smiled coldly, looked at Li Ru, and asked coldly: "Master Li, what are you doing?!"

Li Ru's heart trembled, unable to keep calm, and quickly said: "Your sir, please calm down! I..." Qian Guhuo stood up, pointing at Chen Lang and cursing: "What a big dog, I dare to pretend to be our big Xianbeida. Uncle Shan Yu! How many heads do you have!" He cursed and the atmosphere immediately became tense. The two entourages around him Huo Ceng started, pulled out their knives, and stared at Chen Lang fiercely.

Chen Lang picked up the wine glass and took a sip, as if he didn't put the other party in his eyes at all.

Li Ru could not sit securely anymore, and quickly stood up and said, "Calm down, everyone! Calm down! If you have something to say, and if you have something, you can say it!"

Qian Gu pointed at Chen Lang and shouted at Li Ru: "Why didn't you catch this dog! Are you going to be our enemy Xianbei?"

Li Ru hurriedly said: "Please be safe and restless!" Then he said to Chen Lang, "I will never be disrespectful to you! It's just that something happened, so I have to ask you to come to verify. Please forgive me for the offense!"

Qian Gu was furious and shouted: "Why are you so polite to that liar!" Li Ru quickly turned his head and apologized: "Excuse me! Excuse me!"

Chen Lang smiled and said: "You thought I was a fake after doing it for a long time! But you are really confused. You can believe it if you come to someone and say that you are the messenger of Xianbei."
