Taking advantage of Lu Bu's absence in Chang 'an, Yang Rui used the Shapeshifting Mask to disguise himself as Lu Bu and took the initiative to visit Wang Yun. He wanted to give Wang Yun some hints so that he would realize that Lu Bu was a useful chess piece.
Moreover, Manager Li and Zheng San no longer existed as Dong Zhuo's information channel. Even Manager Zhang, who was in charge of various informants in Dong Zhuo's residence, had been removed by Yang Rui. In addition, Yang Rui chose to visit Wang Yun's residence at night, so he didn't have to worry about his identity being exposed.
"It is Wang Yun's honor to have General Lu visit my residence. Today, we must drink a few cups!"
Wang Yun asked Lu Bu to sit down as the host and guest. At the same time, he also arranged a banquet and wine. At the same time, he was thinking about Lu Bu's purpose of visit.
In Wang Yun's impression, Lu Bu was a jackal who would forget righteousness at the sight of profit. Moreover, he had always been Dong Zhuo's sharpest claw. Almost every time Dong Zhuo killed a high-ranking official, Lu Bu would act as the vanguard. Therefore, Wang Yun had always been somewhat afraid of Lu Bu.
However, Wang Yun didn't expect Lu Bu to take the initiative to visit him today. He couldn't help but have some doubts and uneasiness in his heart.
"Oh, good wine! Lord Situ is too polite. It's already inconvenient to visit so late at night, and I still have to trouble Lord Situ to accompany me. It's really too much of an intrusion! "
Yang Rui picked up the wine cup that Wang Yun personally poured for him and drank it in one gulp. He tried to imitate Lu Bu's every move according to his impression of him. However, at the same time, Yang Rui didn't forget to send some friendly signals to Wang Yun.
"It's rare to have the opportunity to drink with General Lu. General has always been busy with official business, so it's rare for you to come to my residence. Of course, I must treat you as an honored guest. I must properly entertain you. Please don't say any apologetic words, hahaha. "
Wang Yun heaved a sigh of relief when he heard Yang Rui's tone. It seemed that Lu Bu had indeed come for personal friendship and perhaps had no ulterior motives.
"Lord Situ, I am grateful that you don't mind. Lu Bu toasts to you!"
"Come! Come! Come! General, please! "
After the atmosphere relaxed, Yang Rui and Wang Yun exchanged toasts, even though the two of them were just putting on a show. However, they seemed to be chatting happily.
"General, you are usually very busy. I wonder if you still have official business to attend to today. If not, how about we drink a few more cups?"
The two of them looked very harmonious as they drank, but Wang Yun still couldn't help but probe Yang Rui. Although the way he asked was very tactful, he also vaguely asked about the purpose of Yang Rui's visit.
"Lu Bu is just busy with his own business, that's all. Since Lord Situ likes me so much, let me offer you another toast! " When Wang Yun finally asked this question, Yang Rui took this as a pretext to make a fuss. He looked depressed. He only cared about downing large cups of wine one after another.
In fact, this was just the beginning. Yang Rui's purpose was to create a depressed atmosphere. He pretended to be very helpless, and then took the opportunity to deliberately expose some cracks between him and Dong Zhuo.
"General, you seem to have something on your mind. Why don't you tell me about it? Perhaps I can comfort you a little."
Sure enough, just as Yang Rui had expected, Wang Yun seemed to immediately grasp some of the key points and went deeper into the topic by beating around the bush.
"Sigh, it's a long story. Drink! Drink! A toast to Lord Situ! "
However, no matter how Wang Yun asked, Yang Rui had no intention of answering directly. It seemed that he wanted to drown his sorrows in wine. This situation even lasted until the end of the banquet. Yang Rui just drank cup after cup, but he didn't talk much. It was obvious that he had something on his mind.
Therefore, Wang Yun could only accompany him and say a few words of consolation. After all, it was the first time the two of them got together to drink privately, and they didn't touch on a deeper topic.
"After talking with General Lu, Wang Yun realized that General Lu is a forthright person. I hope you can come to my residence often in the future to drink a few cups!"
After the small banquet, Wang Yun personally sent Yang Rui out of the residence. He didn't forget to give a few words of advice, and only after seeing Yang Rui leave did he return to the residence.
"Could it be that this lad suddenly came to visit without any other purpose? But it seems that he has encountered some troubles. It's not a bad thing to have some contact with this lad at the moment, "Wang Yun muttered softly. He shook his head and went to rest in the room.
To Wang Yun's surprise, Lu Bu came to his residence again the next night. He had inquired during the day and it seemed that Lu Bu was still guarding Dong Zhuo at the Dragon Dock. Could it be that he had secretly returned alone?
"The general is here. Quickly invite him in! Quickly invite him in! "
Although he had doubts in his heart, Wang Yun still warmly welcomed Yang Rui, who had disguised himself as Lu Bu, into the residence. Then, the two of them naturally couldn't avoid another round of drinking. The atmosphere at the banquet was the same as the day before. Both of them were very polite, but it seemed that it was just a formality and it was difficult to go deeper.
"Does Lord Situ's residence have dancers, singers, and the like?" When the two of them were half-drunk, Wang Yun didn't expect Lu Bu to ask such a question.
"Hahaha, I was negligent. Of course, there are dancers and singers. Why don't you send them over to perform?" While Wang Yun was slightly stunned, he quickly replied with a laugh. There seemed to be some understanding in his expression.
Yang Rui suddenly brought up this topic because he wanted to drag Diaochan out as soon as possible and give Wang Yun the most direct hint with practical actions. However, after saying that, Yang Rui seemed to feel that he was a little too direct. It would be best if Wang Yun didn't notice anything.
In fact, Yang Rui's worries were a little unnecessary. In the game background of the end of the Eastern Han dynasty, dancers and singers were almost necessary characters in drinking parties, especially when friends were drinking privately. If there were no singers or dancers, the host would feel embarrassed.
This was the so-called drinking and making merry. Singers and dancers even directly represented the level and face of the banquet. Without these factors, it would be unpresentable! During private banquets between friends, singers and dancers were often directly brought out to serve the guests!
The reason why Wang Yun didn't think of summoning singers and dancers before was only because he and Lu Bu were mostly officials and hadn't changed their status as friends for the time being. Now, the other party had made such a request. Not only did Wang Yun not feel that it was absurd. He even treated it as a sublimation of their personal relationship!
No matter how Wang Yun defined their personal relationship, he was going to use Lu Bu for the time being. He was prepared to temporarily patronize Lu Bu or use him. At least Lu Bu's performance had pulled their relationship closer on the surface.
Of course, as a player, Yang Rui didn't know about this. His goal was to facilitate Wang Yun to make a move on Dong Zhuo as soon as possible and promote the development of the game's plot.
As Yang Rui expected, Wang Yun didn't have any intention of hiding anything. Among the singers he summoned was Diaochan. Moreover, Diao Chan was the core of many singers and dancers. At this time, she was still holding the three-foot-long konghou instrument in her hand. Melodious and mellow tunes extended out as her slender jade-like fingers touched the konghou.
The target had appeared. Yang Rui quickly got into character. As the song and dance gradually started, Yang Rui's face was immediately filled with infatuation. His gaze was completely attracted to the konghou girl.
This scene inevitably fell into Wang Yun's eyes. Soon, Wang Yun frowned. There was even a trace of anger in his expression! However, this expression only appeared for a moment. After that, Wang Yun changed into a thoughtful expression.
"General Wang Yun, please drink to General Lu!"
"Eh! Hahaha, Sir Situ, please! "
Wang Yun seemed to want to divert Yang Rui's attention. During the song and dance, he toasted Yang Rui several times. Moreover, after the song ended, Wang Yun clapped his hands and brought in another group of singers and dancers. He replaced Diaochan. It was unknown whether it was intentional or not.
This continued until the end of the banquet. Although the song and dance didn't stop, Wang Yun didn't let Diaochan appear again. Yang Rui was also very immersed in character. He purposely expressed his disappointment. These emotions naturally didn't escape Wang Yun's eyes.
"Ah! This child actually paid attention to Diaochan! "
In the end, Wang Yun once again personally sent Yang Rui out of the residence. He muttered with some regret. At this time, Wang Yun hoped that the other party could forget about this matter.
However, it was clear that things didn't develop as Wang Yun hoped. The next day, Lu Bu once again appeared in Wang Yun's residence. In response, Wang Yun could only serve him with good wine and good food. He didn't want to offend this jackal and wolf. However, when arranging for the singers and dancers, he intentionally avoided Diaochan and hid her.
"In Wang Yun's opinion, General's ability is unmatched. You also work hard every day. You are worthy of being Prime Minister Dong and the cornerstone of the entire Han court. Being bestowed the title of Great General is not excessive!"
Seeing Lu Bu's behavior in the three days of continuous visits, Wang Yun seemed to have noticed something. Therefore, after saving three rounds, he cleverly used words to probe.
"Ah! It's a pity that Prime Minister Dong doesn't think so. In the matter of military pay, he treats my Bingzhou troops differently. "
Taking advantage of Wang Yun's probing words, Yang Rui brought out the excuse he had long thought of. Using military pay as an excuse, he gradually revealed some of his dissatisfaction with Dong Zhuo!
Wang Yun was a quick-witted person. How could he not hear the profoundness within? Therefore, the more he listened, the more delighted he became. It was as if he had grasped the key to solving the current predicament! After his train of thought was opened, Wang Yun's eyes seemed to have become lively. They spun around cleverly and continuously flashed.
"Clap clap clap"
As if he had decided on some matters, Wang Yun clapped his hands again and changed a batch of singers and dancers. Surprisingly, Diaochan was among them! Unsurprisingly, this woman's appearance immediately caught Lu Bu's attention! At this time, Wang Yun's face no longer had any sullen emotions. Instead, it was an expression of joy.
At the banquet, Lu Bu's mood rose once again. While intoxicated, he continuously raised his cup and drank with Wang Yun until midnight. Only then did he reluctantly leave.
"Who knows, in the end, this matter will still fall on this child. However, it needs to be planned properly! Ah, it's just a pity for Diaochan. "
