Chapter 206 Ximen is in crisis

Gao Shun followed his subordinates and learned that Li Jue from outside the city sent someone to contact Li Meng and Wang Fang, and the person who came was Li Bie, Li Jue's nephew, so he immediately brought someone to the door to investigate and prepared to take the two of them down.

When he arrived at the place, he loudly ordered: "Around the mansion, no one is allowed to enter and exit." After his soldiers surrounded Li Meng's mansion, he rushed to the mansion with more than 20 personal soldiers.

Who knew the soldiers guarding outside the mansion who came to his master's boss, and no one dared to stop him, so he could only let him break into the mansion.

Just when Gao Shun sent people to surround the mansion, someone had already gone in to inform Li Meng, who was discussing secretly. When he heard that Gao Shun had surrounded the mansion, Li Meng was immediately scared to death. He asked Wang Fang in panic: "Gao Shun led people to surround the mansion, someone must have seen the way for the nephew to come to the door. What should we do now?"

Compared with Li Meng, Wang Fang acted much calmer. He waved his hand and drove away the person who reported the news, and said to Li Meng: "My nephew must have already left the city at this moment. Even if Gao Shun wanted to take us, there was no real evidence. When he asked about it later, we would just deny it."

After a while, Gao Shun brought people into the hall. Gao Shun, surrounded by soldiers, looked at the two of them and sneered, saying, "You two are so brave. They dare to collude with the two thieves Li Guo and try to give up the capital. Those who come will take them down with me!" Gao Shun's subordinates responded with a loud bang, and then prepared to come forward to capture Li Meng and Wang Fang.

"Let's go!" Wang Fang stood up and asked calmly: "College Captain, I don't know what serious crimes we committed. He actually wants to work on your grandfather. He came to Li's house to capture us in person?"

"Wang Fang," Gao Shun pointed his hand at Wang Fang and said, "I got the tip. You two actually conspired with Li Be, the nephew of the traitor Li Jue, to try to give up the city..."

"College Captain, it's unfair!" Wang Fang cried out with grievance before Gao Shun finished speaking: "We are loyal to the court, and our hearts are clear. I must be a treacherous villain who doesn't like me, so I went to the captain to falsely accuse us. I also asked the captain to observe the situation and give my brothers a clear innocence."

"Yes, the captain of the high school." Li Meng also stood up and echoed: "You must not fall into the evil plan."

Although Gao Shun is a good soldier and can lead out elite troops like the camp, when it comes to strategy, he is not much better than Lu Bu. Seeing that both of them were complaining about injustice, he couldn't help but hesitate, thinking in his heart that he was really wrongly blamed the two of them?

Just as he was hesitating, a close confidant of his subordinates approached his ear and offered him advice: "Captain, since the two of them do not admit to being in private collusion with Li Jue, we might as well search his mansion to see if there are any unconventional faces or letters or other things."

After listening to the advice of his confidant, Gao Shun immediately ordered without hesitation: "Come, search me carefully." As his subordinates began to search around, Gao Shun walked back and forth in the hall with his hands behind his back, and occasionally glanced at Li Meng, Wang Fang and the others to see what their reaction was.

However, Li Meng and Wang Fang showed a submissive look. No matter how soldiers rummaged through boxes and cabinets at home, they bent over and smiled at Gao Shun.

After a while, the soldiers searched everywhere came back one after another and reported to Gao Shun: "You reported to the lieutenant, no strangers appeared in the mansion." "If you return to the lieutenant, no letters were found!"

When Gao Shun heard the sergeant's reply, his suspicion of Li Meng and Wang Fang weakened a little more. He clasped his fists and bowed to the two: "It was Gao who was reckless and offended!" After that, he shouted to his subordinates, "Let's go!"

After Gao Shun and the soldiers left, Li Meng and Wang Fang fell to the ground, feeling that the backs of their clothes were wet with cold sweat. Li Meng said to Wang Fang in a panic: "Gao Shun has become suspicious of us. Although he left today, he might come again one day. We have to think of a way to deal with it!"

Wang Fang frowned and thought for a moment, then said to Li Meng: "Isn't you patrol tonight? You can shoot an arrow outside the city while people are not paying attention and tell General Zhiran about our situation, so that he can have a good plan to deal with Gao Shun. I rushed to visit Lu Bu and explore his words to see if he could pull him over!"

"Even if you go, it will be in vain." Li Meng immediately expressed his objection to Wang Fang's latter proposal: "You must know that the Grand Tutor died at the hands of Lu Bu. Even if he wants to surrender, do you think General Zhiran and the others will agree?"

Hearing Li Meng say this, Wang Fang felt embarrassed. If he could not win over Lu Bu, even if he opened the city gate, as long as Lu Bu blocked the city gate and Gao Shun's camp, the plan to connect the army into the city would be ruined. He thought for a long time, and finally came up with a solution that was the best of both worlds: "I will bring gold, silver and jewelry to make friends with Lu Bu so that he will not be suspicious of us. Even if Gao Shun comes to him to complain, he can still say a few good things for us."

"This plan is very wonderful." Li Meng quickly ordered his servants to bring a box of jewelry and hand it over to Wang Fang and said, "Lu Bu is greedy for money. When he sees these jewelry, he will definitely look at you and my brothers in a different way."

Wang Fang took the box from Li Meng, weighed it in his hand, and asked, "I wonder where these jewelry come from?"

Li Meng smiled and said, "Did you forget that before the army evacuated Luoyang, the Grand Master had condemned me to steal several large tombs and obtained a lot of good things from it. These jewelry are part of it."

When Wang Fang heard that the jewelry came from burial objects, he felt much more at ease. These things were all things in the palace and would definitely please Lu Bu. So he said goodbye to Li Meng, and left the Li Mansion with the jewelry.

Wang Fang left Li's mansion and rode a horse to Lu Bu's mansion. He turned over and dismounted, tied the horse to a stake, held the box, and walked over with the soldiers guarding the gate. The team leader who led the team was also the former Liangzhou soldiers, who happened to know Wang Fang. Seeing Wang Fang coming, he hurriedly clasped his fists and asked, "So it's Wang Qi Governor. I wonder what's the point of being here today?"

Wang Fang smiled and replied, "I came here to visit Mr. Wen."

"Visit Marquis Wen!" Hearing Wang Fang say this, the team leader said in embarrassment: "Governor Wang Qi, it's too late, and Marquis Wen usually won't see guests again. You'd better go back first and come back another day!"

"I have an urgent matter to see Wen Hou," Wang Fang approached the team leader, held the box in his left hand, stepped forward and stuffed a jade pendant into the team leader's hand. "I'd like to inform you."

As the saying goes, "People eat their mouths are weak and their hands are short." The team leader accepted the jade pendant that Wang Fang gave him, and quickly said politely: "It is not easy for the King of Kings to come here. Let's wait for a while and wait for the villain to go in to see if Wen Hou has already gone to bed."

Since returning to Chang'an, Lu Bu has been staying at home to drink and have fun with Diao Chan at other times, and is listening to Diao Chan playing the piano and singing music today, the team led him in to report to Lu Bu: "You have reported to Wen Hou, there is a Wang Qi outside who is looking for a meeting."

"The King of Cavalry?" After Lu Bu repeated this official position, he thought for a long time but couldn't remember who the King of Cavalry was. He rushed to the team and waved his hand: "I won't see you, let him get out early."

The team leader received a gift from Wang Fang, how could he not help him with his business? He quickly continued: "Wen Hou, I saw that Wang Qishou was holding an exquisite box in his hand, which seemed to be a gift for you."

When Lu Bu heard the team leader say this, he couldn't help but feel a little moved. He quickly coughed, pretended to be casual and asked, "Who is this King Qi Governor?"

"Reply to Wen Hou," the team leader heard Lu Bu's question, and realized in his heart that Lu Bu was willing to see Wang Fang, and quickly replied: "It is Wang Fang, the deputy general of the city guarding of the West Gate."

"So it's him." Hearing that it was his old acquaintance, Lu Bu quickly ordered the team to lead: "Let him come in!"

Not long after, Wang Fan followed the team leader and walked into Lu Bu's room. He didn't care about looking at Diao Chan, who was so beautiful, and then knelt in front of Lu Bu on one knee, put the box in his hand on the ground, and bowed to Lu Bu: "I will join Wen Hou."

From the corner of Lu Bu's eyes, he glanced at the exquisite box on the ground, and pretended to look serious and asked, "Is there anything important to see me now?"

When Wang Fang heard Lu Bu’s question, he quickly bent down and picked up the box, handed it to Lu Bu, and said to him: “Mr. Wen, this is a little bit of my subordinate’s wishes. Please accept it with a smile.”

"Where did the King of Qi say?" Lu Bu said insincerely: "How can I ask for whatever I belong to? In my opinion, you should take it back for your family."

"Even if you go, it will be in vain." Li Meng immediately expressed his objection to Wang Fang's latter proposal: "You must know that the Grand Tutor died at the hands of Lu Bu. Even if he wants to surrender, do you think General Zhiran and the others will agree?"

Hearing Li Meng say this, Wang Fang felt embarrassed. If he could not win over Lu Bu, even if he opened the city gate, as long as Lu Bu blocked the city gate and Gao Shun's camp, the plan to connect the army into the city would be ruined.
