Chapter 311

Hmm?

As soon as Duan Yu's voice fell, Dong Zhuo and Li Ru both looked at Duan Yu with great surprise.

Yuan Wei's words last night seemed to be pleading for Wang Yun.

But in reality, given Yuan Wei's status, that could almost be called an order.

One could tell by Dong Zhuo's performance at the banquet yesterday.

At that time, Dong Zhuo's intention was to have Duan Yu agree to it right then and there.

"Ziyi, you must not act on impulse!" Dong Zhuo frowned and said: "I know there is some conflict between you and Wang Gai."

"But since Yuan Wei has already spoken on this matter, if you don't agree, I'm afraid it will make Yuan Wei unhappy."

"Besides, you are about to go to Liangzhou, and the Wang clan is in Bingzhou; they can't do anything to you."

"It's a small matter, let it pass."

"If Yuan Wei causes trouble for your appointment because of this, it will not be worth the loss."

Li Ru, sitting to the side, also nodded slightly.

The situation Dong Zhuo mentioned was not impossible.

Duan Yu was also very clear about this.

And Dong Zhuo's words were all well-intentioned.

"Father-in-law," Duan Yu sat up straight and looked at Dong Zhuo: "I understand everything Father-in-law has said."

"But......"

"Wang Gai...... must die!"

Duan Yu's gaze was firm, and his eyes were filled with murderous intent.

"Father-in-law can listen to my reasons first."

Dong Zhuo frowned, but did not rush to speak.

Li Ru also nodded slightly at Dong Zhuo and said: "My lord, Young Master Duan has always been steady in his actions; it wouldn't hurt to listen to Young Master Duan's reasons first."

Duan Yu looked at Li Ru with gratitude, then turned to Dong Zhuo and said: "Father-in-law, everyone in Luoyang knows now that I have arrested Wang Yun's son."

"They also know that there has always been a grudge between the two of us."

"If I let Wang Gai go easily at this time, just because of Yuan Wei's words,"

"what should I do if I encounter people like Wang Gai in the future?"

"I had Father-in-law to back me up in Bingzhou, which is why I barely managed not to suffer at Wang Gai's hands."

"If I were to govern a region in the future, what would people like Wang Gai think when they see that Wang Gai was an enemy of mine, yet nothing happened to him?"

"Anyway, being an enemy of Duan Yu ultimately results in nothing."

"Father-in-law, there is a saying: 'Strike one blow to avoid a hundred blows!'"

"If I spare Wang Gai today, there will be Chen Gai, Li Gai, Zhang Gai in the future......"

"So...... Wang Gai must die!" Duan Yu gritted his teeth and narrowed his eyes as he replied.

Dong Zhuo rubbed his chin in silence.

He looked at Li Ru to the side.

Li Ru also had his brows locked in a frown.

What Duan Yu said was the benefit, but there was also the invisible disadvantage of offending Yuan Wei.

Now it was just a matter of whether the benefit was greater or the disadvantage was greater.

However, regardless of whether the benefit or disadvantage was greater.

Li Ru highly approved of Duan Yu's decisive character, which did not easily change due to external factors.

In the imperial court, being smooth and worldly among officials was certainly important.

But if one retreated blindly in everything, that would be too smooth.

If Duan Yu were really the type to retreat when encountering obstacles, he would not approve of him.

Liangzhou was a place where people ate people.

If a person with a weak character went to Liangzhou, even with Dong Zhuo's deterrence, it would be difficult to gain a foothold in Liangzhou.

Perhaps, it was precisely because of Duan Yu's character that he was more suitable for Liangzhou.

"My lord, I think it is better to let Young Master Duan decide for himself."

After weighing it, Li Ru concluded.

Dong Zhuo thought about it and could only nod: "Alright, since Wenyou has said so, then you can decide for yourself."

"It's no big deal."

"At worst, if these people don't think much of us, we'll just go back to Liangzhou to herd horses."

"You don't have to take it too much to heart," Dong Zhuo said with a wave of his hand.

Duan Yu smiled: "Thank you for your support, Father-in-law."

Time approached noon.

A carriage arrived in front of Dong Zhuo's residence.

The carriage stopped, and the little eunuch who was driving immediately got off the carriage and lifted the curtain.

On the carriage, a eunuch in his early twenties, dressed in eunuch attire, turned his head to look at the side gate of the manor, then stepped off the carriage on a small stool, holding the arm of the little eunuch waiting beside the carriage with one hand.

"Go, pass the word," the eunuch said, standing beside the carriage after getting off.
