Chapter 225 See you in the picture
After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, Dong Zhuo's face became red, he drank a little too much wine, Xu Rong's face did not change, it seems that her body has indeed changed a lot, at least now she can become "a thousand cups without pouring". Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info Of course, her face does not change color, except for herself who can feel it, and the people present can't see it.
Niu Fu, Dong Huang and others looked at Xu Rong in surprise, Dong Zhuo is a wine jar, I didn't expect this Xu Rong to be even more amazing, after drinking so much wine, he didn't seem to be drunk at all.
Dong Zhuo's mouth was full of wine, and the cases in front of him and Xu Rong were full of delicacies, including roasted venison, fresh fish from the East China Sea, and shrimp from Youzhou...... These "royal tributes" that originally belonged to the emperor were now enjoyed by Dong Zhuo wantonly, without fear.
"Mr. Xu, Gu Dong Zhuo...... I'm a rough man all my life......"
Dong Zhuo picked up the glass full of wine again, and muttered, as if talking to himself, as if he was pouring out his heart to Xu Rong, his tone did not have the deliberately emphasized intimacy that bought people's hearts in the past, nor the majestic intimidation of his subordinates, and the words at this moment were very true.
"Lord Xiangguo is humble, now that Dong Xiangguo is in power to the government and the opposition, it can be said that he covers the sky with one hand, how can he be regarded as a rough man? If a simple rough person can reach this step of Xiangguo, he is afraid that no one in the world wants to be this rough person. β
Xu Rong said happily, since Dong Zhuo was unpretentious in front of her, then she was also kind to Dong Zhuo, and she was still courteous. What's more, in fact, Dong Zhuo has always treated her well.
Dong Zhuo pursed his lips and smiled, as if he was treating an old friend who had known each other for many years, and raised his glass again:
"It's done! Mr. Xu...... Without you, how would Lone get where he is today? β
The two drank it all again, Xu Rong put down the wine glass and waved his hand:
"Xiangguo always says this, but I think that even if I wasn't here, Xiangguo-sama would have achieved what I am today."
"Hahaha...... Mr. Xu is always so humble! β
Dong Zhuo laughed loudly, and then, his eyes rolled:
"Mr. Xu rushed thousands of miles and pointed directly at Yingchuan...... Lonely to ask, has the revenge of Mr. been avenged? β
Xu Rong paused slightly, but then nodded lightly, Dong Zhuo is so smart, her obvious strange behavior, anyone who guesses it deeply, can think that it must be for the enemy.
"Reported? It's good to report it...... It's good to report it. β
Dong Zhuo stroked his beard, picked up a large piece of venison, put it in his mouth, and chewed loudly. After he swallowed the venison, his eyes deepened:
"Sir has done so many things for Gu, for the sake of ...... Just for revenge? β
Xu Rong nodded again, there was no need for her to continue to hide it.
Dong Zhuo saw Xu Rong answer himself so cheerfully, he rubbed his nose, which was slightly red from the wine, and said angrily:
"Honestly... Lone can now be said to be in power all over the world, but ...... There are many things that cannot be mastered alone, such as the group of rats in the Kanto region, who treated them alone, but they rebelled against the orphans, alas. β
"The princes outside the Guan, Xiangguo will definitely regard it as a mustard."
Although Lone looks down on people such as Kong Ling, Liu Dai, and Qiao Mao...... However, the three brothers of the Yuan family, Lone has always treated them very well, but I didn't expect them to be like this. β
Dong Zhuo's expression became painful, Xu Rong looked at Dong Zhuo quietly, he never thought that this fat man Dong who had never been angry and arrogant, this tyrannical man who was destined to be powerful in the world and famous in history, or would leave a stench for thousands of years, would have such a hurt expression......
"Lonely, he has always been a person who values affection, if it weren't for the promotion of Yu Gu by the ancestors of the Yuan family back then, I am afraid that Dong Zhuo today is still an unknown pawn in the Xiliang borderland, or he has already died somewhere...... Therefore, Lone treats the Yuan family well, hoping that Lone can achieve great things with them and become famous through the ages. β
"The ancestors of the Yuan family are as wise as torches, but it is a pity that their descendants are narrow-minded and difficult to become great, they don't know what to do."
Xu Rong reluctantly said a few words of comfort to Dong Zhuo, she didn't understand how "hurt" Dong Zhuo was in her heart at this time, but at least a few words of comfort were not difficult to say.
"Mr. Xu, how old are you this year?"
Dong Zhuo suddenly asked about Xu Rong's age, which made her dumbfounded, and she didn't plan to explain truthfully in the morning, she was just twenty after April this year, can you say this?
But fortunately, Dong Zhuo seemed to be half drunk, and he didn't plan to listen to Xu Rong's answer, seeing that Xu Rong was silent, he continued to talk to himself:
"Lone is already fifty-five this year, and he has long passed the year of knowing the destiny of heaven."
"Xiangguo is strong and healthy, and he will be able to live a long life......
When he said this, Xu Rong couldn't help but grin evilly, of course, people couldn't see it. She knew that this person would not live for a few years, and in history, he was killed by his subordinates in the third year of Chuping, and now it was the first year of Chuping. But it doesn't matter, there is no difference between living for more than ten years and only living for two or three years, it is only a matter of a moment.
"The friends I made with Gu back then are now gone."
Dong Zhuo let out a long sigh, his eyes became hollow, and his head tilted up slightly, as if he was remembering his old friend. Then he slowly turned his head and looked at Xu Rong in front of him:
"A few days ago, Lone had already ordered Lone's subordinates to kill Yuan Kui's family behind closed doors......"
"Oh."
Xu Rong responded indifferently, Yuan Kui is Yuan Shao's uncle, and he is also the most prosperous family in the Yuan family at present, killing Yuan Kui, I am afraid that in addition to completely resenting the Yuan brothers, he will also be condemned by all the Yuan family's protΓ©gΓ©s and former officials in the world, right? If Dong Zhuo hadn't killed him, if someone else had come, he would definitely have to denounce Dong Zhuo himself.
Dong Zhuo actually made up his mind to dare to be the enemy of the world, this Dong Zhuo is really old and strong.
As if seeing through Xu Rong's thoughts, Dong Zhuo drank another glass of wine and smiled:
"I learned this from Mr. Xu."
"In the next ......?"
"Mr. Xu drowned in Heyangjin, slaughtered Yangcheng, cooked Li and Zhang, poured hot oil to kill Yingchuan, and drowned thousands of people in Zhongmu City...... Mr. is so ruthless, Lone has always been violent and wild, but when it comes to the vicious means of killing, Mr. is slightly better than Lone. β
Xu Rong listened to Dong Zhuo's words, and disagreed in his heart, in fact, Dong Zhuo is also very cruel, just looking at his words just now, he was going to cut off Kwai Ying's hands, which can also show that Dong Zhuo's viciousness is not inferior to himself. Moreover, no matter how brutal Dong Zhuo is, he is just an ordinary person after all, and what about himself? You can't call it a "human" anymore, can you? Dong Zhuo is an ordinary person, but he is just a temporary power, but he can treat human life like a mustard, it can be said that Dong Zhuo is the most vicious.
However, Xu Rong didn't say much, and when Dong Zhuo said this, he didn't mean to accuse.
"What is the grudge of the gentleman, Lone does not force it, but ...... Mr. knows that these behaviors of Mr. have already put Gu to the point of resentment of all the people, even if Gu does any good deeds in the future, no one will forgive Gu ...... Lonely, I'm afraid that I will leave an eternal infamy! β
After Dong Zhuo finished speaking, he closed his eyes and finished another drink.
Xu Rong smiled lightly, also picked up the wine glass, drank it all, and then said bluntly:
"It's really a trouble for Xiangguo, and it's not an ordinary trouble, and I'm guilty. Even if Lord Xiangguo wants to kill Zai Xia today and give an explanation to the people in the world, he is willing to kill him without complaint. β
As soon as Xu Rong said this, Dong Huang, Niu Fu and others who were sitting in the distance were also shocked: It seems that Xu Rong himself already knew about today's events and must not have a good death, but he still rushed to the banquet, could it be that this person is already pregnant with the heart of death?
Dong Huang was particularly unhappy in his heart: what he wanted to see was the moment when this strange man, who had always been mysterious and always calm and composed, could fall to his knees and beg for mercy, and only then could he wash away the humiliation of being detained by Heyang Jinzhong without authorization that day. It's just that Xu Rong's calmness once again made Dong Huang feel lost.
"Alas, it's good that Mr. understands ......"
Dong Zhuo put down the wine glass, his hands trembled a little, although his face was red from drunkenness, but he had a pale sense of powerlessness, he was going to kill Xu Rong, but at this moment, there was hesitation in his heart.
Should I have killed this man?
This person marched without authorization, killed countless soldiers and civilians with extreme cruelty and injustice, made the people of the world deviate from Dong Zhuo, and caused him to leave a crime for the ages.
However, Dong Zhuo had a faint feeling of unbearability in his heart, I don't know why, although his friendship with Xu Rong has only been more than a year, it seems to have an inseparable connection, he always feels that when he talks with Xu Rong, it is when he lives the most real and clear-headed.
However, if he doesn't kill this person, how can he serve the public? How will he account to all the people of the world? Yes, he can cover the sky with one hand, but at that price, he will never be able to wash away the accumulated crimes that Xu Rong smeared on him.
To kill, or not to kill?
Dong Zhuo hesitated......
"Lonely, I have only met Mr. for about a year...... But it's as if they've had a friendship for more than decades......"
This is the truth, after Dong Zhuo took charge of Luoyang, not to mention that he was a friend, he was a friend who had known him for decades, such as Wu Qiong and others, who were all killed by him, and Yuan Kui, who was kind to him, is now in a different place.
Dong Zhuo trembled......
"Mr. has pointed out the maze for Lone in danger several times, and Lone will never forget Mr.'s kindness......"
Dong Zhuo still sighed at Xu Rong's talent, although this person couldn't put forward more constructive views, but for the "trick", he always seemed to have a clairvoyant eye and could predict a lot of general changes, otherwise he would not be able to become this "fisherman" smoothly, and under the gap between He Jin and the Ten Standing Servants fighting for power, he would become bigger in one fell swoop.
Xu Rong looked at Dong Zhuo so hesitantly, so embarrassed, so painful...... Even she felt entangled in her heart, isn't it just the next order, how can it be so troublesome, is this Dong Zhuo still not the decisive "tyrant" in her impression? The descendants of "Dong Xiaoyou", many years later, know that Dong Zhuo is cruel and unkind, which is rare in the world. It is also very interesting that she can see with her own eyes the hesitant and sincere side of this "big demon king".
"It's ...... anyway"
Dong Zhuo finally picked up the empty wine glass and slammed it on the ground:
"Xu Rong! You have no military law, you disobey orders, kill and slaughter cities, and do all kinds of evil! If I don't kill you, how can I calm the hearts of the people in the world? Lonely, how can I spare you? β
With Dong Zhuo's sharp roar, the warriors on both sides rushed up to the hall with Changge, Xu Rong was extremely cooperative, she stood up calmly, and let the two warriors set her up, without the slightest resistance, but very cooperative. Dong Zhuo finally got the dagger, and if she continued like this, Dong Zhuo was not annoyed, she was still tired, she had almost eaten the wine and food, and it was time to finish.
Seeing Xu Rong die so righteously, Dong Zhuo's heart became entangled again, but Niu Fu and Dong Huang gave him a look again and again: You must not be soft-hearted! What's more, Xu Rong and him have only known each other for about a year, and Dong Zhuo's heart is gloomy: decades ago, when he learned of someone's death, he should have been as cold as ashes, how could he not let go of the life of a "subordinate" now? Didn't he already make an oath back then: from now on, he will never show mercy, no one is just a prop he uses, and when it is useless, it is natural to throw it away!
Dong Zhuo's eyes sharpened, he had lost too much, why should he give up?
"Take Xu Rong down immediately, and at noon tomorrow, escort him to the gate of Luoyang City and behead him for public display!"
"Yes!"
After the warriors on both sides obeyed the order, they set up Xu Rong and planned to take her down.
"Wait!"
Dong Huang suddenly ran in front of Dong Zhuo in a few steps, he was extremely resentful of Xu Rong, now Xu Rong was not afraid of death at all, the resentment in his heart could not be eliminated, and he naturally thought of another way: I heard that this Xu Rong was extremely terrifying because of the fire, it is better to show this person's ugly appearance on this hall, which can be regarded as a revenge in his heart.
Dong Huang thinks that since Xu Rong said that he had an ugly face and had never shown his face, he must have cared very much about his ugly face, and at the last moment, let Xu Rong die with the ugliest appearance, which can be regarded as sprinkling salt on this person's wounds. Otherwise, he will always remember the humiliation he has suffered, and he will not be able to sleep well.
"Uncle, since you can't let go of Mr. Xu so much, why don't you take a look at Mr. Xu's face when Mr. is leaving, it is not in vain for everyone to get acquainted, right?"
Dong Huang said that he was similar to Niu Fu and had always been good at catering to Dong Zhuo's preferences.
Dong Zhuo listened and nodded thoughtfully...... Indeed, until now, he has not seen what Xu Rong is like, no matter how ugly he is, he is already a mortal person anyway, and his nephew's words are indeed very reasonable.
"That's right! What Juan said was right. β
Dong Zhuo looked at Xu Rong sadly:
"Mr. Xu, when you are leaving, let Gu Haosheng take a look at you...... In the future, I will never forget Mr. Lonely! β
His guilt was indeed not pretended, Dong Zhuo didn't care whether Xu Rong was extremely ugly from the beginning, and at this time he really wanted to remember Xu Rong's appearance. After all, he has lost too many friends and relatives to this position, which is also his helplessness.
Xu Rong doesn't care, at this time, what else can't she let go? Moreover, even Ah Chu and Qili have left her, she has long been left with nothing, how she dies is irrelevant, and she is still trying to see if she can die.
"Come on, uncover the black cloth on Mr. Xu's head, let Gu take a good look!" (To be continued.) )
