Three Kingdoms: I will return it ten thousand times, my lord, I will never keep it for myself

A few days later, time quietly passed to the land of Sili. In front of the mansion of the Wei family in Hedong, the dust was gently raised by the sound of horse hooves. A team of people and horses slowly arrived, adding a bit of extraordinary atmosphere to this quiet mansion.

A middle-aged scholar in a blue shirt walked calmly through the gate of the Wei family with carved beams and painted buildings, as if he had crossed the corridor of time and entered a world that was both familiar and slightly unfamiliar. There was a complex light flashing in his eyes, with both the emotion of reunion and some indescribable deep meaning.

"Wei Boju, I haven't seen you for many years. How are you?" He opened his red lips lightly, his voice was as gentle as jade, like a spring breeze blowing on the face, but it also contained the coolness of autumn, which made Wei Ji's brows slightly frowned.

Wei Ji, standing in front of the hall at this moment, could not hide a trace of displeasure and vigilance in his expression. With a sharp gaze, he carefully looked at the uninvited guest - Li Ru. This name is enough to make people shudder in the court and the world.

"Li Ru? There doesn't seem to be much old relationship between you and me. What is the purpose of this visit?" Wei Ji's words revealed an unquestionable majesty, as if reminding the other party that this is not a place to step into casually.

Hearing this, Li Ru raised a meaningful smile at the corner of his mouth. He looked around. The simple and elegant courtyard, every brick and tile revealed the profound heritage and glorious history of the Hedong Wei family. However, in his eyes, this scene seemed to have a bit more desolation of things and people.

"Haha, Brother Bo Ju, you are too kind. I came here just because I heard that my old friend has retired recently. I miss him and came to visit him. After all, you have achieved success at a young age and are known for your talent and learning. It is not easy for you to have some free time now."

Li Ru's words are sincere, but also seem to hide some unspeakable calculations, which are hard to understand.

The Wei Ji in front of Li Ru was appointed by Cao Cao as an official. He had served as the magistrate of Maoling County, Shangshu Lang, Zhishu Shiyushi, and was responsible for guarding Guanzhong and preparing for Cao Cao's pacification of the Central Plains and Guanzhong in the future.

"In the past, the Hedong Wei family was famous. It started with the fame of the famous Han general Wei Qing, and then the queen Wei Zifu's honor. For a time, the family's glory rose straight up, like a dragon soaring into the sky, invincible."

"But time has passed, and things are unpredictable. Today, the eldest son of the Wei family has fallen at the hands of a county magistrate. The glory of the past seems to be obscured by the haze and it is difficult to find its trace."

"Moreover, your brother has suffered misfortune, his body and head are separated, and he is left in the wilderness. His fiancée has also been ruthlessly taken away. This great shame is like a sharp knife piercing the heart, and it hurts the bone marrow."

Wei Ji's eyes were burning with anger, but he did not express it. It was the deeply suppressed anger, the calm before the storm. He knew that this could not be solved by a momentary anger, and it required far-reaching planning to wipe out the previous shame and revive the glory of the Wei family.

Wei Ji secretly vowed in his heart that he would let Liu Yao know that the blood of the Wei family should not be insulted lightly; the name of the Wei family should not be tarnished.

Zhongdao!! I will definitely avenge you!

Li Ru seemed to see the emotion in Wei Ji's eyes, and immediately grinned:

"Haha, brother Bo Ju, time flies, and we have known each other for a long time. Today, I, Li Ru, have a plan in my mind, which can not only help you avenge your brother's hatred, but also make the power of the Wei family shine again and return to its former peak."

Upon hearing this, Wei Ji's eyes flickered like cold stars, and he carefully examined Li Ru in front of him, with a little imperceptible vigilance in his tone.

"Hmph, Li Ru, ah Li Ru, we know each other well. Are you the kind of selfless person? Tell me, what do you want?"

Li Ru heard this and raised a meaningful smile, as if everything was under his control.

"Brother Bo Ju is right. I, Li Ru, always do things with cause and effect. You and I have a common enemy, that is Liu Yao, who is domineering in Bingzhou! Just imagine, if we can bring this man down, not only will my lord Dong Zhuo have one less strong enemy in the court, but the Wei family will also be able to take advantage of this opportunity to sweep away the haze and revive the family. Isn't it the best of both worlds?"

Wei Ji closed his eyes and pondered for a moment.

"Okay, tell me what you think."

Li Ru raised a meaningful smile and said softly: "Although Liu Yao has a solid foundation in Bingzhou, the northern tribes have recently surrendered and their hearts are not stable, just like duckweed in the wind, swaying. Moreover, Liu Yao secretly stirs up trouble and deliberately exacerbates the already subtle rifts between the tribes, which is really digging his own grave."

"If Brother Bo Ju is willing to donate generously to help us arm these foreign warriors, help them break free from their shackles and seek ways to be independent, I, Li Ru, am willing to send lobbyists to shuttle between the tribes and persuade them to conspire with my eloquent tongue. When the foreign tribes become independent, they will swear a solemn oath never to disturb the peace of Bingzhou, but to become our"Then, Liu Yao will return to Bingzhou upon hearing the news. It will be the time for my master to make great plans. He will take advantage of the situation to control the court and use the power of the emperor to change the world. If this plan succeeds, it will not only break the siege of Bingzhou, but also open up a new world and achieve eternal hegemony." "Then the Hedong Wei family will be glorious again!" Wei Ji looked at Li Ru with a complicated expression and pondered for a long time. "For Wei Zhongdao, our Wei family can form an alliance with you. "

……

A few days later,

Inside Yanmen Pass, in the Commander's Mansion.

Guo Jia, Xi Zhong, Ju Su, and Tian Feng, the four wise men of Bingzhou, sat in the study, the candlelight flickering, reflecting their focused and deep faces. There were several secret letters scattered on the table, and the words revealed the subtle atmosphere of the changing situation on the border.

"According to the latest intelligence sent back by Luowang, the tribes under Wutai and Huyan Lian seem to be in turmoil recently?"

Tian Feng sat aside with a hint of indifference in his eyes.

"I heard that many Xianbei people are also ready to move recently. Luowang has secretly dealt with many spies recently. Judging from their communication, the spearheads are all directed at the Hedong Wei family."

Guo Jia's eyes flashed with a hint of confusion.

"Hedong Wei family? Impossible? Their power in the court has been eliminated by us one by one. They don't have so many people to contact the various tribes on the grassland, and they don't have channels. "

Xi Zhong also heard the hidden meaning of Guo Jia's words at this time.

"Feng Xiao, do you mean that there is someone behind the Hedong Wei family supporting them?"

Guo Jia nodded.

"Yes, this person who can contact the Wei family to deal with us must be a mortal enemy of the lord. Now that he has such great strength, only Dong Zhuo of Xiliang is left."

"Now the lord should know about this matter, and he must have his own plans."
