Chapter 339

"If Dong Zhuo really dares to touch us, he will inevitably be rejected and resisted by all the noble clans in the world;"

"At that time, he will head toward a dead end, with absolutely no possibility of survival!"

"He is just in a fit of anger now, unable to bear Benchu raising an army to crusade against him, so he deliberately threw us into prison to vent his anger;"

"Otherwise, if he really wanted to deal with us, why not just kill us?"

"It must be! It must be like this!"

Hearing Yuan Kui's analysis and muttering,

Yuan Ji fell into silence.

Was Yuan Kui really not touched at all in his heart by the words of Lu Bu and Yuan Ji just now?

Naturally, that was impossible!

He was also afraid of death and would also be worried.

The smarter a person is, the easier it is to overthink.

Yuan Kui was undoubtedly a top-tier smart person.

Hmm! Although he occasionally acts stupid, that is.

A smart person like him would naturally overthink.

"Benchu! You didn't do it on purpose, right?"

Yuan Kui muttered in his heart at this moment.

He was afraid that this conjecture was true.

If it was, then he had truly misjudged and set himself up to die.

You must know, whether it was the previous plan to frame He Jin and the eunuchs, or the plan to summon Dong Zhuo and Ding Yuan into Luoyang to 'protect the king', all were planned by Yuan Kui and handed to Yuan Shao to execute.

Now, Yuan Shao is outside, glorious and expanding his power, while they are suffering in the dungeon.

Not even knowing if there will be a tomorrow.

The contrast was too strong.

Humans! Once a seed of doubt is planted in the heart, this kind of thought can never be stopped.

Yuan Kui thought in his heart again: "If Lu Bu and Ji'er's analysis are all correct, then Yuan Shao probably harbored deep dissatisfaction and hatred toward me a long time ago;"

"It's just that he has been enduring it, hiding his true thoughts, and has been waiting for an opportunity!"

"And the plan I gave him to frame He Jin and the eunuchs was his best opportunity to strike!"

"Could it be that He Jin's premature death and Dong Zhuo's loss of control over Luoyang were all planned by him?"

"That's why he deliberately stood up to Dong Zhuo in the court afterward, just to take the opportunity to leave Luoyang early and develop in the regions!"

"Then, leave me and Ji'er in Luoyang, wanting to set us up to die?"

"No! That's not right! That's not right! There is still Gonglu!"

"Even without me and Ji'er, there is still Gonglu, the legitimate second son, outside. Even if Yuan Shao framed us, he wouldn't be able to get the inheritance rights of the Yuan Clan; the inheritance rights would be Gonglu's!"

"Right! It must be like this!"

"Therefore, Benchu did not backstab us, did not frame us!"

But as he thought and thought, the more he wanted to firm up this idea, the more new thoughts inevitably emerged in Yuan Kui's heart.

He remembered that Yuan Shao seemed to have never looked down on Yuan Shu, nor had he ever regarded Yuan Shu as a competitor.

Even within the clan, Yuan Shao's reputation was far greater than Yuan Shu's.

If both he and Yuan Ji died, even if Yuan Shu remained, Yuan Shao would probably be able to get at least more than half of the support of the Yuan Clan's power, right?

Thinking of this, Yuan Kui's eyes became hollow.

What a sin!!

It left the main gate wide open.

As for those few guards, they were directly caught in the aftermath, falling to the ground bleeding from their seven orifices, with severed limbs and broken arms, only exhaling and not inhaling.

Lu Bu did not stop at all, leading his troops to charge straight in.

He grabbed anyone he saw, and those who resisted were directly cut down.

For a time, wails filled Yuan Fu.

"What are you doing? What are you doing?"

"Presumptuous! Presumptuous! Lu Bu, do you think where this is? How dare you break into my Yuan Fu and kill my people? Do you not want to have a place in this world anymore?"

At this moment, Yuan Kui rushed out. Seeing this scene, his eyes split with rage, and he roared at Lu Bu, his seven orifices fuming with anger.

"Huh?"

Lu Bu heard this, stretched out a finger to pick his ear, flicked a piece of dead skin at Yuan Kui, and said with a mocking face: "It's already come to this, and you still dare to threaten me and put on airs in front of me?"

"Who do you think ordered me to capture your whole family?"

Yuan Kui heard this, immediately stopped his cursing, his expression froze, and he said in disbelief: "Is it Dong Zhuo?"

"No manners! You must call him Grand Tutor Dong!"

Lu Bu looked at the old man Yuan Kui with contempt: "That's right! It was Grand Tutor Dong who ordered me to capture your family!"

"As for the reason! I believe you should be very clear about it!"

"Actually, I also can't understand where you get the confidence and courage to think that even though Yuan Shao and the others are preparing to raise an army to crusade against the Grand Tutor, the Grand Tutor would still spare you and not dare to touch you?"

On this point, Lu Bu was genuinely confused, not pretending.

He felt that Yuan Kui and the others must have broken brains.

Before raising an army to crusade against the Grand Tutor, had they never thought they would be in danger, or thought about running away in advance?

"Or is it that you were actually set up by Yuan Shao?"

"Tsk tsk! What a display of fatherly kindness and filial piety!"

Lu Bu added a finishing blow.

He felt he had discovered a new usage for "fatherly kindness and filial piety."

Next time he saw Su Boyuan, he must show it off to him properly.

To save him from always using new terms and usages in front of him that he couldn't understand.

PS: Seeking first subscriptions, self-subscriptions, seeking support!

Hearing this, Su Xuan immediately waved his hand, took the intelligence from Jia San, opened it, and looked at it, then grinned and laughed: "Haha! Finally, I have achieved my wish! The Luoyang Secret Guards sent news that Dong Zhuo is furious because of Yuan Shao issuing a manifesto calling for a crusade against him;"

"Not only did he have Lu Bu capture Yuan Kui's entire family, preparing to sacrifice them to the flag when setting out on the expedition, but he also appointed me as the Governor of Jingzhou to deal with Yuan Shu and Sun Jian."

"Haha! After planning for a long time, it has finally succeeded!"

"You all take a look too!"

Saying this, Su Xuan handed the intelligence in his hand to Xun You, Guo Jia, and others to pass around.

After reading it, everyone congratulated Su Xuan in unison: "Congratulations to the Lord for achieving his wish and becoming the Governor of Jingzhou!"

"With this, the Lord's foundation for hegemony is completely set!"

"Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu are truly good people! They cooperate so well!"

"Isn't that so?"

Everyone laughed and discussed.

At this time, Guo Jia stroked his chin and pondered: "I didn't expect that even Lu Bu could see that it was Yuan Shao who deliberately framed Yuan Kui and Yuan Ji's family. I just don't know if Yuan Kui and Yuan Ji believe it or not?"

Guo Jia was very curious about this.

One can only say that the fighting within big families is truly dark!

To achieve their goals, they can actually go to such lengths.

"Yuan Shao is a ruthless person!"

Cheng Yu couldn't help but sigh.

He questioned himself as being quite ruthless, but compared to Yuan Shao, he was still slightly inferior.

At least, he couldn't do things that would frame his own family.

"Indeed!"

Hearing this, Guo Jia nodded repeatedly: "You don't say, with this, Yuan Shao has really risen! His future prospects are limitless!"

"With Yuan Shu's ability, he definitely won't be able to compete with Yuan Shao;"

"At that time, the Yuan Clan's power will be directly split into two, and a large part of the essence will probably go to Jizhou to join Yuan Shao!"

"This is a good thing for us!"

"This will greatly divide and weaken the Yuan Clan's power, which is extremely beneficial for our future hegemony over the world."

One can only say that Yuan Shao played this hand beautifully.
