The 45th time Wang Yun sets up a net to kill Dong Zhuo, Ma Teng is shapeless and ambiguous.

  As soon as Dong Zhuo's words came out, the inner hall immediately fell silent.

  Seeing everyone suddenly speechless, Dong Zhuo asked Lü Bu: "Fengxian, don't you like beautiful women?"

  Lü Bu was overjoyed at the news, thinking that Dong Zhuo was going to betroth Diao Chan to him as his master. However, he didn't dare show it too clearly, after all, anyone could see that Dong Zhuo lusted after Diao Chan's beauty.

  Lü Bu did not dare to look him straight in the eye. Dong Zhuo angrily said: "A man of seven feet tall, if he likes someone then he should just like them, why be so shy and evasive?"

  Lü Bu respectfully poured wine and said: "Father is drunk!"

  Dong Zhuo seemed to have realized his own loss of composure and hastily offered Wang Yun a cup: "Wang, the Minister of Works, if not, this matter will be settled like this?"

  Wang Yun anxiously said: "Diao Chan has long been engaged, and Premier Dong is making an old man lose his credibility!"

  Dong Zhuo looked up at the roof and pondered for a moment, then smiled at Lü Bu: "Fengxian, wasn't it you who said before that some people wanted to rebel? Who was it? Speak in front of Wang Zifu."

  Wang Yun saw that the situation was not good, and Dong Zhuo was clearly threatening him. After a quick weighing of the pros and cons, he hastily said: "Dong Xiang, under your governance, the court and the people are now united in their hearts, the people are harmonious, and the wind and rain are in harmony, how can there be anyone who dares to rebel?"

  Dong Zhuo said with a straight face, "That's not necessarily true! Wang, the Imperial Tutor, how do you feel about your recent behavior being somewhat strange? Is it that food has no flavor and you can't sleep at night? Do you want me to summon the imperial physician to take a look at you?"

  Seeing him pressing further, Wang Yun had to say: "I thank Dong Zhuo for his concern, but Minister Dong is worrying too much. Minister Dong just said he wanted to be a matchmaker for my daughter, but I don't know which family Minister Dong wants to marry her off to?"

  Dong Zhuo burst out laughing and said: "Let's see what kind of look Wang Zifu has on his face."

  Wang Yunyi's legs suddenly went soft and his head spun dizzily...

  Huang Wan saw that Dong Zhuo had made up his mind to marry Diao Chan, and hastily said: "Wang, the Imperial Tutor, is too excited, ten days later is a lucky day for marriage, on that day, Dong Gong can be with Diao Chan forever."

  "What's the matter after ten days? Tomorrow, just tomorrow!" Dong Zhuo was already so excited that he couldn't close his mouth, while Lü Bu sat quietly there drinking alone.

  "Tomorrow?" Wang Yun felt as if he had been struck by five thunderbolts when he heard this, and it seemed that there was no longer any room for rescue.

  Zheng Gongyi saw the situation and hastily said: "I report to the Prime Minister, now you are famous throughout the land, your name is known throughout the universe. Now you will also get such a stunning beauty, people all over the world are rejoicing and eagerly awaiting your grand wedding with Diaochan. However, I heard that although Yao Shun Yu's virtues match those of heaven and earth, they still put 'rites' first. Now, Prime Minister, you have just taken power, you should follow the example of Yao Shun Yu, choose a good time to respect the people, follow the will of heaven and earth, hold a grand wedding, so that your descendants can prosper forever and your kindness will be boundless!"

  Dong Zhuo listened to him ramble on for a long time, getting somewhat impatient, and poked his ears with his fingers: "Do you need to be so troublesome? Ben Xiang doesn't need to be like Yao Shun Yu, don't always show off these things in front of Ben Xiang."

  Zheng Gongye was speechless at once.

  Yang Zan was grateful to Wang Yun for his recommendation, and at this time, he couldn't forget the kindness. After a moment's thought, he said: "What Huang Taizai and Zheng Shangshu said is wrong. Dong Zhuo getting Diaochan is like Fu Xi getting Nüwa, Yu Shun getting Huang E, it's really the will of heaven. However, for Dong Zhuo's grand wedding, he should accept the congratulations from the four sides, the eight directions, and the universal celebration. He has to go through the rituals of accepting the betrothal gift, asking the name, accepting the auspicious sign, accepting the summons, announcing the date, and welcoming the bride in person, how can it be done so hastily?"

  Dong Zhuo felt that he was right, but he still said: "Now it can't be compared to ancient times, there's no need to be so complicated. Five days later, Ben Xiang will hold a grand wedding at the Prime Minister's mansion, and that's settled. What was his name again?"

  Dong Zhuo pointed at Yang Biao with his finger.

  Yang Zan stepped forward and said: "General Yang Zan of the Left."

  "Right, right, you are the Yang Zan recommended by Wang Yun." By saying this, Yang Zan originally thought that Dong Zhuo would let him preside over the grand wedding or assist others in presiding over it. However, he did not know that Dong Zhuo had initially had this idea when his head was hot, but as soon as he thought that he was recommended by Wang Yun, he immediately dispelled this idea.

  Although he had managed to buy himself five more days, Wang Yun still looked worried because he simply did not know how to face Diao Chan.

  Dong Zhuo saw that Wang Yun was not pleased and ignored him, instead instructing the slaves of the Minister's household: "Go invite Diaochan Miss to come out, I want to personally tell her about this marriage."

  The maid returned to the inner hall after a while and said: "Miss is unwell, lying in bed resting, it's inconvenient to see guests."

  Dong Zhuo immediately ordered his men to summon the imperial physician, while he himself went to see Diao Chan.

  Wang Yun hastily made a face at the slave, and the slave understood, immediately saying: "Miss has already learned of her marriage to you, it's not convenient for her to see the prime minister now, please forgive the prime minister."

  Dong Zhuo laughed and said, "That's great! Since that's the case, you all take good care of her on my behalf. You must make sure she recovers soon. If you delay Ben Xiang and her marriage, Ben Xiang will definitely have your heads roll!"

  After the slave girl retreated with a quivering body, Wang Yun saw that things had come to this point and it was only a matter of time before he made his stance clear. He said: "Thank you, Director Dong, for looking out for me, but it's all too hasty. Please, Director Dong, could you grant me a few more days' reprieve?"

  Seeing Wang Yun's understanding of the situation, Dong Zhuo laughed heartily and said: "Since the Minister Wang has spoken so, let it be six days later. Don't delay again."

  After finishing speaking, Dong Zhuo said to Lü Bu: "Fengxian, the night is already deep, we father and son will not disturb their elegant gathering."

  After that, Dong Zhuo laughed and left. Lü Bu followed him with a serious expression. As soon as they exited the Minister's mansion, Dong Zhuo turned to Lü Bu and said: "Leave a few hundred soldiers to guard the Minister's mansion day and night, if there is anything unusual, report back immediately."

  Lü Bu received the order.

  But as Dong Zhuo left, Wang Yun shed tears of sorrow. Huang Wan comforted him, "Now that things have come to this pass, crying will not help matters; we are the ones who have implicated Diaochan."

  Wang Yun pounded his chest and stamped his feet, saying: "I've brought this on my own daughter! That Dong villain is truly too much! Too much, I say!"

  Yang Zongdao said: "Things have come to this, it's better to take action as soon as possible and destroy that Dong Zei."

  Zheng Gongying said: "Alright, since that Dong Zhuo has forced people too much, we might as well take the initiative to attack first and get rid of this villain's life!"

  Wang Yun drank a cup of wine in one gulp and then flung the cup away, saying: "If I don't destroy Dong Zhuo, I, Wang Yun, will not be a man!"

  Everyone was stunned, and Wang Yun immediately gathered everyone together and said something. Everyone understood, left one after another, but only added a few people to monitor them when they left the Wang Mansion.

  Arriving at Diao Chan's door, Wang Yun lightly knocked and said: "My child, your foster father has wronged you."

  Diao Chan, who had been crying in the room, heard Wang Yun's voice and hastily opened the door, rushing into his arms and saying: "Father, I do not wish to marry that scoundrel Dong!"

  "Don't worry, my daughter," Wang Yun comforted. "Even if it costs me my life, I will not let you marry that scoundrel Dong Zhuo. I have already sent people through the secret passage in the mansion to send messages to Ma Teng and Ma Chao, telling them to come quickly and attack Luoyang. Meanwhile, I and several other ministers have made a detailed plan for internal response. If this succeeds, Dong Zhuo will surely die." For now, we can only temporarily agree to this marriage to deceive Dong Zhuo.

  Diao Chan sobbed: "Is it too late? Wu Wei is so far away from Luoyang."

  "It's just in time! Last time, I rushed from Luoyang to Wuwei day and night, and arrived in less than four days. Now the horseman has six days' time, he must be able to rush here. Moreover, as long as Ma Teng leads his troops to Luoyang, Dong Zhuo will have no mind to hold a grand wedding."

  "Will he come?" Diao Chan asked nervously. "Now Luoyang is a den of dragons and tigers, Dong Zhuo has long been resentful towards him, isn't coming to Luoyang equivalent to sending himself to death?"

  "Ah, my daughter," said Wang Yun, shaking his head. "From what I've observed, that groom is a man of great loyalty and righteousness, with exceptional martial skills, and he has several skilled men by his side. If they can infiltrate Luoyang, our chances of success will greatly increase. Throughout history, all wars of strategy have relied on one key principle: capture the leader first. With just tens of thousands of men against Dong Zhuo's hundreds of thousands, our chances are slim to none. But if we use clever tactics with just a few dozen men to take down Dong Zhuo alone, victory is assured!"

  Seeing Wang Yun full of confidence, Diao Chan was as if she had taken a tranquilizer, and she said: "In that case, everything will be up to Father's decision."

  With Dong Zhuo's forced marriage, Diao Chan felt that something in her heart seemed to grow rapidly. She secretly told herself that if she failed to kill the villain, she would definitely sacrifice herself for love.

  Wang Yun saw Diao Chan agree and then instructed her again in this way.

  Far away in Wuwei, Ma Fu was resting his head on a flower pillow, holding a military book, quietly lying on the bed. While sitting at the table, Yunying was propping up her fragrant cheeks, concentrating on studying the remaining situation placed on the stone surface. Of course, this remaining situation was something that Ma Fu had forced himself to remember before crossing over, and now it was finally coming in handy.

  Although he was holding a military book in his hand, due to the dim light on the bed, he couldn't even see what words were written on it.

  Yun Ying also knew that there was a pair of eyes staring at him, but she had long been used to it and didn't bother to say anything.

  Just as Ma Fu was infatuated with the fairy-like girl in front of him, two whistles suddenly sounded outside the door.

  The groom's hands were quick and nimble, with a single press, he swiftly got out of bed and rushed to the door. Yun Ying hurriedly said: "Don't be so shocked, your Blood Chaser has been found, and you can probably reunite with it in two days."

  Ma Fu was shocked and hastily walked to Yun Ying's side, saying: "Is this true?"

  Yun Ying raised his head and glanced at her, saying casually: "When have I ever lied to you?"

  "Good! Then I'll take my leave first! After seeing Blood Pulse, I will thank you again."

  Yun Ying shook his head and said: "It's a small matter, if you want to thank me, just tell me how to break this stalemate."

  The groom smiled and lowered his head, staring at the chessboard on the stone surface for a long time before raising his head to say to Cloud Eagle: "Actually... I don't know how to solve this endgame either."

  Yun Ying was suddenly furious and raised her hand to hit the groom, but at this moment, the groom seemed to be possessed by a ghost and grasped her jade-like hand.

  The two locked eyes for five seconds, and the groom only felt a surge of electricity rapidly passing through his heart. Yun Ying's face turned red as she quickly walked to the door, throwing back a sentence: "If you don't tell me the solution by tomorrow morning, you're dead..."
