Chapter 238 - Return to the Imperial Capital
After living in Jingzhou for a few months, Long Xiangtian couldn't wait to leave, and then returned to Sizhou non-stop.
Long Xiangtian first went to meet the three brothers Liu Guan and Zhang, Long Xiangtian was recuperating in Cai Yong's mansion, although he also asked someone to send them a message, saying that he was still alive, but after all, he hadn't seen him for more than four years, Long Xiangtian thought to himself, he should also see how they are doing.
Because Long Xiangtian has been staying in Caifu all these years and has hardly ever gone out, and Zhang Rang's subordinates and people who know these things were all wiped out by Liu Guan and Zhang Zhang in the decisive battle between Long Xiangtian and Zhang Rang Valley, so Long Xiangtian was lucky to avoid the bloody pursuit of the Ten Standing Attendants, and as time went by, the Ten Standing Servants lacked one and could no longer form the ultimate chaotic body, so at best it was the strength of the Eight Yuan Infants, this situation made the Ten Standing Servants at a disadvantage in the confrontation with He Jin's forces, and the identity of the palace guards was not guaranteed by absolute strength, and they could not compete with the court officials after all, resulting in the power of the Ten Standing Servants began to decline graduallyand can no longer do whatever they want. In order to preserve their strength, the remaining eight permanent servants began to shrink their forces, and the permanent attendants thought that Zhang Rang was killed by He Jin, the situation was very clear, there was no need to spend any effort to find the person who killed Zhang Rang himself, even if he found it, it was just a scapegoat, so the investigation of Zhang Rang's death was over.
Now He Jin's power is in full swing, and the power of the Ten Standing Servants is declining day by day, everyone feels that the eradication of the Ten Standing Servants is just around the corner, and all the characters have speculated about which master killed Zhang Rang, and Long Xiangtian, who was the initiator of this matter, has not yet realized that it is what he has done that has brought huge changes to the pattern of the world.
Long Xiangtian came to the small county town run by Liu Guanzhang, and now this small county town has already been governed by Liu Bei, which makes Long Xiangtian admire. When the old friends were reunited, everyone was very happy, greeted each other well, and started chatting.
Out of curiosity, Long Xiangtian checked the current realm of Liu Guan and Zhang, and found that Liu Bei was the same as himself in the middle stage of the Mahayana realm, and Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were already at the beginning of the end of the Dan period, Long Xiangtian couldn't help but be slightly stunned, but he didn't expect that unconsciously, he finally began to catch up with their realm, but this is still the result of his hard work over the years, thinking about it, he still uses the soul absorption circuit, and he is still cultivating in his spare time, and Liu Bei They still have government affairs to deal with, and the time for cultivation is definitely not as much as their own, but even so, their realms are also improving rapidly, and after thinking about it, Long Xiangtian feels more and more how terrifying the three of them are, The strength of the three of them is unfathomable, and the breath on their bodies is like a dragon like a tiger and a leopard, Long Xiangtian couldn't help but think: Fortunately, after he stepped into the realm of Yudan, the sequelae of the unstable realm disappeared, otherwise, I really don't know how much they will lag behind.
In the chat, Liu Bei said that now the power of He Jin's line is in full swing, and it is already something that the ten permanent servants can't compete with, Liu Bei intends to join He Jin's first line, in order to help eradicate the power of the ten permanent servants, but no one introduced him, and he has no chance to join, Long Xiangtian feels that He Jin will end up with the ten permanent servants sooner or later, there is no need to get too close to He Jin's forces, and in the near future, Dong Zhuo will enter the imperial capital and harm the world, so the imperial capital is not a place to stay for a long time, but these can't be said to Liu Bei and them, and Long Xiangtian knows that if Liu Bei goes now, Liu Bei will definitely not be able to let go of the small county he governs, and Liu Bei has no other place to go, so after Long Xiangtian secretly persuaded Liu Bei to leave to no avail, he no longer had this idea, so he could only take one step at a time.
After visiting Liu Bei and the others, Long Xiangtian came to Luoyang City, the imperial capital, but this time he did not go to Caifu, but secretly found his original boss Beicheng Gate Order. Long Xiangtian knew that the North City Gate Order but He Jin was in the first line, he would never betray himself, and he used to have a very good relationship with himself, when Zhang Rang sent someone to arrest Long Xiangtian, he also deliberately stayed outside the city gate and told Long Xiangtian the news, so that Long Xiangtian escaped a catastrophe, so Long Xiangtian came back to thank the North City Gate Order.
When the North City Gate Ling saw Long Xiangtian, he was immediately surprised, he didn't expect Long Xiangtian to dare to come back, but Long Xiangtian said that Zhang Rang was dead, and the other eight permanent servants didn't know the grievances between themselves and Zhang Rang, so the other people who knew about the grievances between Zhang Rang and himself were already dead, so Long Xiangtian's current situation was safe.
Hearing Long Xiangtian say this, the North City Gate Order also let go of his heart, but he suddenly thought: Why is it so sure that the other people who know about him are already dead, is it possible...... Is he really related to Zhang Rang's death?
In fact, when the news of Zhang Rang's death in the city spread wildly, the North City Gate Order had a premonition that Zhang Rang's death was likely to be related to Long Xiangtian, after all, the grievances between Long Xiangtian and Zhang Rang, the North City Gate Order couldn't be clearer, and he was a person under He Jin's hands, and his own forces did not do this, so there was no other force to do it, but the North City Gate Order only suspected that Zhang Rang's death was related to Long Xiangtian, but he didn't think that Long Xiangtian killed Zhang Rang, after all, Long Xiangtian was just a Jindan real person, how to kill Yuanying Zhenjun, but Long Xiangtian couldn't kill it, it didn't mean that others couldn't kill it, maybe it was the force behind Long Xiangtian, for example, Liu Jingsheng in Jingzhou may not be able to say.
In order to know who did Zhang Rang's death, He Jin also sent a large number of people to look for it, and said that who knows that there will be a heavy reward for the news, the North City Gate Order is very moved by this, and now Long Xiangtian is close at hand, so the North City Gate Order began to ask Long Xiangtian side-by-side to see if Long Xiangtian knows about it.
Long Xiangtian heard the idea of the North City Gate Order, but he hesitated about whether he should confide in him what he really thought, after all, this fact is too big, the North City Gate Order is an outsider after all, let him know that if it spreads around, then he may be killed, but the North City Gate Order is his own savior, not that he risked his life to tell himself the news, he is afraid that he has already died in the hands of Zhang Rang, but the main problem is that the North City Gate Order is the person under He Jin's hands, tell him, He Jin must also know, so let He Jin know?
Long Xiangtian thought secretly for a while, and felt that if He Jin knew, then he would inevitably recruit himself, and then he would join He Jin's staff, like Cao Cao, Yuan Shao and these people are all under He Jin's command, the advantage is that he can have a direct dialogue with He Jin, and may have the opportunity to influence the direction of history, but if He Jin does not know, then he will not have the opportunity to influence the current situation, and can only let the future develop naturally, but the problem is that due to the chaos of time and space, the future is in constant flux, and if it is natural, things will happen, and even things will develop in a bad direction。
In fact, Long Xiangtian has thought about what would happen if he let the future change in his own way, develop in a good direction, and avoid some unpleasant things from happening? For example, how about not letting Dong Zhuo enter Beijing, maintaining the long-term peace and stability of the Han Immortal League, not letting those tragedies happen, and returning the world to peace? Long Xiangtian felt that he was the only person who could change everything, but he thought about it again, then he would become another horn, if he changed the future, maybe things would develop in a good direction, but who knows how long it can last, who can guarantee that there will be no other accidents, at that time, even Long Xiangtian can't change anything, because there is no way to go back to the future that should be, a future that Long Xiangtian doesn't know anything about, I don't know how to change, how to talk about change.
Although Long Xiangtian did not dare to change the trend of future development, Long Xiangtian did not mind doing something in other places and making some insignificant changes, which would not have a profound impact on the future. In Wu Dun's death, Long Xiangtian saw that some people or things that would not have a significant impact on future history would be changed and nothing, such as the failure of the Yellow Turban Uprising, Dong Zhuo's entry into Beijing, and the princes' struggle for hegemony, these things are bound to happen and cannot be changed, but the process can give Long Xiangtian a chance to change, Long Xiangtian thought: Maybe he can minimize the harm of some tragic things that will happen.
In the end, Long Xiangtian definitely told the North City Gate Order, hoping that he could have a relationship with He Jin, Long Xiangtian felt that there was an opportunity to influence He Jin's decision-making level, and he still didn't miss it, it was not his ambition to live a foolish life, and when he came to this world, he should be famous.
So Long Xiangtian told the North City Gate Order that he killed Zhang Rang, afraid that the North City Gate Order would not believe that it was his own doing, and made up that Liu Biao sent someone to help him, so that he could finally kill Zhang Rang. This surprised the North City Gate Order, he didn't expect Long Xiangtian to be so honest, so he looked at Long Xiangtian even more differently, and soon after, the North City Gate Order told He Jin at this time.
In the He Mansion, He Jin, who had just finished the early court, was full of spring and pride, and he couldn't wait to find his staff and show off his majesty in the court just now.
"Haha! You didn't see it, just above the court, what are the ten permanent servants like now, none of them dared to oppose the appointment request put forward by this general today, oh, by the way, they should be called the eighth permanent servants now, haha, it's really cool!" He Jin laughed.
Everyone flattered, and Cao Cao said: "Although the ten permanent servants deliberately show weakness, they are still the eight yuan babies after all, and there is a way that a hundred-legged insect dies without stiffness, and the general still needs to be vigilant!"
"Eh, Meng De's words are wrong, why should he be angry with others to destroy his own prestige? I think those ten permanent servants are like fish on a nail board, they can only be slaughtered by us, where is there any room for resistance. Yuan Shao smiled at He Jin and asked, "General, did you say that?"
He Jin said proudly: "That's natural! If it was the previous Ten Standing Servants, the Great General would have been really afraid of them, but now that they lack one person and can't form the ultimate chaos body, what are they afraid of? There are more than 100 Yuanying True Monarchs on my side, and I am not afraid of them at all, haha!"
"However, at present, the Ten Standing Servants are still in control of the forbidden army, although you can control the military power of the world, but the forbidden army is not under your control, and with the troops we can mobilize now, it is not enough to compete with the forbidden army, this is a problem!" said a staff member.
Yuan Shao also nodded and said: "This forbidden army is indeed a big trouble, there were only 10,000 forbidden troops guarding the imperial capital before, but since Zhang Jiao attacked the imperial capital, in order to strengthen the defense of the imperial capital, in just four or five years, the forbidden army has rapidly expanded to 100,000 people. ”
"Then how should this be?" He Jin asked with a frown.
