【Chapter 228】 Brother-in-law

Li Ru smiled bitterly when she heard this, "Wenchang, you are really good. Your brother-in-law is a scholar. Where can I go to get you a heavy armor? But this is your first time talking. If I don't bring some good things out, my brother-in-law will seem incompetent. Let's do this, when I moved the capital from Luoyang, I really left some good things. Last year, I wanted to offer it to the prime minister to form the Feixiong Camp, but there were only 500 sets of golden armor, which was too small and could not be used. This time my brother-in-law will give it all to you, just as the wedding gift I gave you. How about it?"

"Uh, these 500 sets of gold armors? Are gold made of is too expensive?" Li Li said in surprise.

Indeed, Li Li just said this nonsense and joked, but he actually didn't mean to ask Li Ru for armor. Unexpectedly, Li Ru took it seriously, and even gave it to him five hundred sets of golden armor with one move.

He is really generous and generous.

Li Ru's move not only surprised Li Li, but even Li Jue was shocked and looked at Li Ru directly, as if he had just met him for the first time.

"Made of gold? Hahaha!" Li Ru paused when he heard Li Li's words, and then laughed happily: "Wenchang, you can think of the armor made of 500 sets of gold! Tell you the truth. Each set of armor weighs 60 or 70 kilograms, and is forged with iron. It is poured on a layer of gold wire on the surface, which looks golden, so it is called golden armor. This batch of armor was previously the best armor accumulated by the royal family for many years. It has a very hard texture. Ordinary weapons cannot break the golden armor at all, and it is difficult to even leave a scratch. I have regarded it as a treasure in the past two years and have never mentioned it to anyone. Now I give it to you, so I won't worry about it, and I have to pay off one's worries.

However, such heavy armor is definitely not something that ordinary soldiers can wear, and it is difficult for warriors who are not more than 100 enemies. In addition, Wenchang must remember it. Choose a golden armor soldier carefully, preferably a confidant soldier, loyal, otherwise there will be endless troubles!"

"Well, thank you brother-in-law for your kindness. I will remember this kindness in my heart!" Li Li nodded solemnly and thanked.

Li Ru smiled with relief and said, "Wenchang doesn't have to be like this. I'm the same saying as before, you and I are brothers-in-law. We have the same lineage and the same spirit and branches, so why should we divide each other? If Wenchang doesn't like me, Li Ru, a cold scholar who has no power to tie a chicken, we will be brothers from now on, and we will share good and good fortune with each other!"

After hearing this, Li Li stared at Li Ru's eyes deeply, and then said with a smile: "Brother is too humble. Since you are so respectful, it is better to obey your orders. From today on, we will be brothers, and we will share the same blessings and difficulties! Please testify to my uncle."

Li Jue said with a smile: "Wenyou, Wenchang, you two complement each other with literature and martial arts, and now they are brother-in-law. Very good, very good! Hahaha??????"

Li Jue naturally enjoyed seeing his nephew's friendship with Li Ru.

Li Ru was Dong Zhuo's close minister and a son-in-law of the Dong family. He was deeply trusted by Dong Zhuo and was actually the most important official under Dong Zhuo. Before, Li Jue had always wanted to win over Li Ru's relationship with the Li family, but Li Ru seemed not optimistic about him and always kept a distance from him. He was not far or near, just like other generals. Therefore, although Li Ru came from the Li family, he was actually strangers to the Li family and had no connection.

Unexpectedly, Li Ru suddenly abandoned Lu Bu and turned to Li Li today, and now he is even more brotherly to Li Li. He also gave Li Li five hundred sets of golden armor. This dramatic change made Li Jie feel a little unbelievable. This person was Li Ru and Li Wenyou, who he had known for more than ten years.

However, the facts are right in front of you. Li Jue couldn't believe it.

Seeing that Li Li and Li Ru appreciate each other, Li Jue was sincerely happy for Li Li, and even a little envious. Therefore, he had to sigh that his nephew is so outstanding and has a very charming personality. Not only can he let a group of confidants be with him, but he can also make friends with Li Ru and a wise aide like Jia Xu, who is incomparable to them, which is amazing.

"By the way, Wenchang, I met my sister Dong Wan before leaving the city. At that time, she was talking to the prime minister. When she heard about the battle between you and Lu Bu, she tried her best to persuade the prime minister to severely punish Lu Bu and protect you in every way. Before leaving, she also reminded me to invite the Grand Tutor's Mansion intact." Li Ru said to Li Li with a smile.

"Oh?" Li Li was slightly stunned when he heard this, pondered in surprise, and then pondered silently, listening to Li Ru's words later.

After seeing Li Li's surprised expression, Li Ru smiled and said, "Wenchang doesn't know anything. Our Prime Minister Dong loves Wanmei very much, and regards it as a pearl in his hand, and takes good care of her. At first, the Prime Minister was furious when he heard you and Lu Bu's army fighting, especially after hearing your generals injured Lu Bu, he was extremely angry and slapped the table and almost ordered you to be punished. At this time, Wanmei tried every means to persuade the Prime Minister, and she was tearful and soft-hearted, which made the Prime Minister care deeply. He changed his original intention and complained that Lu Bu was not aware of the current affairs and was not in line with human nature. He started a war when Wanmei's wedding. In this way, the Prime Minister had a lot of opinions about Lu Bu, mourned his misfortune and was angry at his disagreement.

Wenchang, Wanmei is a good girl, as beautiful as a fairy, smart as a celestial being, and she is loyal to you. When you get married, you must treat her well, and it is not in vain for her deep affection for you. In addition, as far as I know, the reason why the Prime Minister wanted to betroth Wanmei was because he heard that Wanmei was secretly promising you to make this decision. Also, I heard that the Prime Minister prepared an extremely generous dowry for Wanmei, which was definitely beyond your expectations! Hahaha????????”

"Uh?" Li Li pondered in shock again, opening his mouth to speak, but he didn't know where to start.

In fact, he really didn't care much about Dong Wan, nor did he know anything about her, let alone like her. Instead, he always felt that marrying Dong Wan had too many disadvantages, which had a great impact on his future development, and it had a negative impact, and could even be said to be endless troubles. All this is just because she has a father who is full of evil.

Dong Zhuo's impression in the minds of the people of the world is so bad that his daughter will be greatly implicated. Li Li has to bear huge negative impacts and psychological pressure to marry Dong Zhuo's daughter. It is easier than marrying a commoner's daughter.

It is precisely because Li Li even thought about marrying Dong Wan into the house, so she was sent to the "cold palace". She was invisible and could not be worried about watching her.

However, what Li Li never expected was that Dong Wan was in love with him very early, which prompted Dong Zhuo to force his daughter to marry him. Not only that, Dong Wan also defended him everywhere, dealing with him in front of Dong Zhuo, and even crying sadly.

In this way, Li Li felt that she was too bad and not as brave as Dong Wan. She was Dong Zhuo's daughter, and this could not be changed because she was destined to be this fact as soon as she was born. There was no choice at all. But she dared to pursue the person she liked, without restraint, dared to love and hate, and could even let go of her modesty and reveal her feelings to his father, thus leading to this marriage.

What's wrong with such a lovely and sexually!

However, Li Li was worried because Dong Wan was Dong Zhuo's daughter and refused to do so. Even if the marriage was settled, he still refused to accept her in his heart, and even rejected her.

Until Li Ru told the whole story, Li Limuran found that he was too selfish. He never tried to understand a woman who was about to become his wife. He treated her kindly, cared for her, and loved her, but instead wanted to escape and deal with it, completely losing the responsibility and mind that a man should have.

It's really inappropriate!

Is this still him Li Li? Why is this happening?

Is it just because she is Dong Zhuo's daughter? But what does a father do evil to his children? As a soul of later generations, he actually has a heart of implication from the bottom of his heart. He regards Dong Wan and Dong Zhuo as birds of a feather, and looks at a weak woman who dares to pursue the love in his heart with lustful eyes.

It's really inappropriate!

For a moment, Li Li's thoughts flew, but more guilt and self-reflection.

No matter what Dong Zhuo did and what will happen in the future, Dong Wan is innocent. The Eastern Han Dynasty was originally a polygamous society, and the social status of women was very low. It belonged to a typical vulnerable group. However, Li Li was able to break the secular etiquette of three wives and four concubines for Dian Wuxia, but now why can't he accept a woman who truly loves him?

You should know that this woman doesn’t need much, let alone greed. She only needs a man who cares about her and loves her, and does not require a man to be loyal. As long as she has her place in her heart.

Is this a requirement too much?

"Brother-in-law, when you return to the city next time, wait a moment and bring some clothes to Wan'er." Li Li, who felt guilty, whispered to Li Ru.

"Clothes?" Li Ru said in surprise.

Li Li nodded and said, "Yes, clothes, wedding clothes I wore on the night of my wedding! I specially asked Yan'er and the others to make a few pieces for Wan'er. I originally planned to send someone to deliver them today, but it was delayed when the war broke out. Now I have to ask my brother-in-law to work hard and take the clothes over so that the servants can report it layer by layer, and it will take a lot of trouble."

Li Ru looked at Li Li in surprise when he heard this, and sighed, "I can't tell it. It turns out that Wenchang is also a good man with a delicate mind! OK! This matter is included in my brother-in-law and I am willing to serve him. At that time, Wanmei will definitely be so happy that she can't stop talking! Hahaha????????"

While laughing, Li Ru suddenly asked, "By the way, Wenchang, how is the battle between the Wuwei Army in this battle? Who will win and who will lose, and are the casualties?"

After talking about his private affairs, Li Ru finally remembered the important matter. He would report to Dong Zhuo later and decided not to neglect it.

What Li Ru asked was exactly what Li Jue was thinking. Although he could see the general idea at a glance, he still wanted to hear the specific situation of the battle.

After hearing this, Li Li did not hide it, and roughly told the story of the war before and after, and finally said: "In this battle, our Wuwei army and the wolf cavalry army under Lu Bu fought fiercely. The soldiers on both sides were injured, and nearly half of the soldiers were lost. The five-thousand Jinqiu Guard killed and injured more than 2,300 people, and more than 1,000 people were killed and injured in the Hu Xiao Camp, totaling more than 3,000 war cavalry. The wolf cavalry army under Lu Bu's command was almost the same as our army's deaths and injuries, leaving about 3,000 bodies, and nearly 1,000 wounded soldiers."

Li Ru looked at Li Li in horror when he heard this and said, "So, the Wuwei army won. The wolf cavalry under Lu Bu lost its troops and was defeated in disgrace!"

Li Jie nodded with a smile and agreed with an excited expression on his face.

Li Li smiled bitterly and said, "How can we talk about victory if we win? If Huan Fei hadn't rescued in time and the Jin Qiwei was not the opponent of the Wolf Cavalry Army, the end result would be that our army would be defeated in a crushing manner, and even the entire army would be wiped out. Alas, the Wolf Cavalry Army is well-armed and brave and good at fighting, and is indeed worthy of its reputation!" (To be continued)
