Chapter 15: The End of the Road

"Okay."

Wang Yue agreed, how could he not guess Zhang Xiu's thoughts?

But he really doesn't want to say it clearly, isn't it fragrant to be a fool and wait for the matter to end?

Anyway, the money is already in hand, so why do you want to go.

That's it, Wang Yue sat down to drink with Zhang Xiu in the Dong Mansion in a relaxed mood, as for the life or death of the Yuan family, what does it have to do with him?

From his own point of view, he and the Yuan family don't have a very stable relationship at all, it is a very simple transaction of money and labor, and this time he went deep into the enemy camp is enough to benchmark the price given by the Yuan family, if he has to go back to the Yuan family to rescue Yuan Ji and them.

Well......

It's not impossible, you have to add money!

But now that Yuan Ji is difficult to protect, how can he add money to Wang Yue? And he didn't want to make such a sum of money really make the Xiliang Army irritable, although he was just a passerby in Luoyang, but such a prosperous place in the world, if it was destroyed like this, it would be a pity.

"Senior, come and taste this pot of good wine."

Zhang Xiu was also relieved, and took a pot of good wine to Wang Yue on his own initiative, he believed that if he could leave Wang Yue here like this and make Dong Zhuo and Li Ru safer, then he would be considered a great achievement, and taking a pot of wine would not be nothing, right?

Without any psychological burden, Zhang Xiu sat down cross-legged on the spot, and began to set up a dragon gate formation with Wang Yue.

For him, after leaving the school, he has rarely heard of those things in the rivers and lakes, and Wang Yue, as an experienced and famous senior in the world, and his master are old friends, Zhang Xiu naturally trusts him more and asks him more about the trends of the rivers and lakes today.

"Hey, how can there be any rangers and rivers and lakes now, now this world is the biggest rivers and lakes."

Wang Yue said with a complicated mood, picked up the wine glass in his hand, and smothered it in one gulp.

The two of them began to talk more and more, while on the other side, Yuan Ji had already entered a state of anger and mania.

The army surrounded the Yuan family, and the movement was so big, how could he not feel it.

He didn't know that Dong Zhuo and Li Ru were outside the Yuan family, and at this time he could only wait for Wang Yue to succeed, so that there was still a chance to turn the tables.

"He, Dong Zhongying, is not in accordance with the rules by doing this."

Yuan Ji couldn't see too many mood swings on the surface, but his eyes and the twitching corners of his mouth revealed his mood, he really didn't expect Dong Zhuo to directly flip the table like this, and to do it directly to the Yuan family without very practical evidence.

Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu were actually not enough to be used as a reason for Dong Zhuo to act against the Yuan family among the princes' allies.

He also wanted to row a good path with Dong Zhuo, competing in this Luoyang City, and he also wanted to get rid of Li Ru, an unstable factor, first, and watched how Dong Zhuo walked into the trap he had already laid step by step when he was provoked by himself.

But he didn't expect Dong Zhuo's way of breaking the game to be so direct and barbaric, not following Luoyang's long-standing rules, even in the most turbulent times, Luoyang did not have such unruliness.

Yuan Ji really wanted to talk to Dong Zhuo in person, but now the thousands of elite soldiers in the array outside the Yuan family would not talk to the Yuan family about the rules.

"I said it, Dong Zhongying is not easy to match, you worked with him at the beginning, you should know better than me."

Yuan Kui has arrived in Yuan Ji's courtyard, the Yuan family is common, they can easily walk through the many mansions of the Yuan family, this is like a palace that belongs to them, on the surface, it is divided into many families, but in fact, it is merged in one place, which is not much smaller than the palace.

Yuan Kui sighed, although he now has the highest official status in the clan, but the reason why he is not in charge of the family is also related to his character, he is cowardly by nature, and many times he dares to be angry and dare not speak, his character is not suitable for the position of the head of the family.

The way he sighs now is also expected by Yuan Ji.

Yuan Ji didn't make a sound, he walked into the courtyard, closed his eyes, spread his spiritual power, and felt the fluctuations of the breath around him, he wanted to know if there was a chance to turn over after the next two chess.

He is Yuan Ji, he will not admit defeat so easily.

The composition of the spiritual network naturally also alarmed Li Ru outside the Yuan Mansion, Li Ru did not tell Dong Zhuo, but quietly let Yuan Ji feel the breath outside, and let this arrogant guy unscrupulously release his spiritual power in the air.

Li Ru wants to give him another harsh lesson before he dies, so that he understands that people, don't treat others as chess pieces.

Yuan Ji felt the breath of the soldiers outside the Yuan Mansion, with the private soldiers and clansmen of the Yuan family, it was still a little difficult to compete with such a force, but it was not impossible, as long as the weak point was found.

And he was also prepared for the situation in the trapped city, the mansion closest to the city wall of the Yuan family had a passage to the outside of the city, it was really not possible, and he could leave Luoyang through that road.

But.

He is Yuan Ji, Yuan Shiji.

The man who can use his life as bait is now just repeating the situation of the past.

He thought clearly.

With himself as bait, the attention of the Dong Mansion is on encircling and suppressing himself, so the defense around Li Ru will inevitably be empty, it is very simple, it is easy for Wang Yue, the number one swordsman in the world, to kill him, as long as Li Ru dies, he can take advantage of this opportunity to directly start an incident in the city and kill Dong Zhuo in this Luoyang City.

Dancing on the filaments is the most beautiful scene in the world.

Yuan Ji's anger slowly faded, and the anger just now was just for Yuan Kui to see.

After all, he didn't discuss this matter with anyone, if Yuan Kui knew that this situation was caused by his own hands, then maybe he would be temporarily present to organize the clan elders to ban him from the position of head of the family.

Maybe when the time comes, it will be to sacrifice himself, and then exchange for the stability of the Yuan family.

He didn't think so.

What he cares more about in his heart is that when the Yuan family reaches this point, either they will soar to the sky and ascend to a high position with him, or they will fall into hell with him.

Anyway, there are still Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu outside, and the main sect of Runan is still there.

How could Yuan Ji accept that without himself, the Yuan family would be a subordinate of others, and he would lose the pride and dignity of belonging to the Yuan family.

If it fails, then bury it together, so that Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu will be less restrained, and they don't have to be tied.

Yuan Kui gathered the Yuan family and private soldiers everywhere and gathered in one place, hoping to find an opportunity to break through when the soldiers attacked the Yuan family, while Yuan Ji was still waiting for news from Wang Yue, and spread his spiritual network again, hoping to grasp more information.

Like what.

Is Dong Zhuo here?

Suddenly, caught off guard, a more condensed spiritual force turned into a sharp arrow, shooting towards the center of Yuan Ji's spiritual network, which was an invisible confrontation.

Li Ru squinted, formed his right hand into a palm, and compressed his spiritual power again, and even let the airflow in his palm change, as if he wanted to condense the fluctuations of his spiritual power.

"Go."

Another sharp arrow shot out, slamming straight into Yuan Ji's spiritual power network.

People whose spiritual strength has not reached a certain level cannot feel the confrontation in the sky above the Yuan Mansion, but the soldiers outside the Yuan Mansion can feel that the cold that seemed to be a little frightening dissipated away, and their bodies were full of strength and refreshed.

At this time, Yuan Ji's face in the Yuan Mansion changed.

He had already taken back his spiritual power network, and also removed the effect of his radiation outward, because the sharp arrow that suddenly attacked did cause him trouble, just at the moment of touching each other, Yuan Ji failed to prevent the first spiritual power arrow, which was enough to prove that this person's spiritual power was not under him.

And this spiritual power gave Yuan Ji a familiar feeling.

Frowning and thinking for a moment, Yuan Ji's face changed suddenly.

This person should be Li Ru, who followed Dong Zhuo to Yuan's mansion that day, Yuan Ji paid attention to him, and naturally remembered his mental power fluctuations.

Li Ru is not in the Dong Mansion and ran here, which means that Dong Zhuo must also be here.

There is no doubt that Wang Yue's task must have failed, there is no Dong Zhuo and Li Ru in the Dong Mansion at all, so now the only thing that can be counted on is himself.

Yuan Ji fell silent, and after a moment, he looked fierce, turned around and left.

He didn't want to be caught in the frustrating and anxious passage of time, and for the first time in his life, he had experienced it for the first time in his life.

But he didn't have a chance.

"Let's go, get out of town through the prepared passageway, and go now! Leave the others alone. ”

Yuan Ji hurriedly left the courtyard, but met Yuan Kui, who was gathering the clansmen, and said in a low voice.

After speaking, he rushed towards the mansion where the passage was located, he had to go first, and the others were real bait, which could buy him valuable time, no matter what Yuan Kui said, he was also an uncle, remind.

Yuan Kui looked at the back of Yuan Ji who quickly left, his face was a little tangled, he looked at the clansmen who were still waiting for his organization in the opposite direction, and sighed.

Gritting his teeth and stomping his feet, he also ran in the direction of Yuan Ji.

"He lost."

Feeling that Yuan Ji had withdrawn the spiritual power network, Li Rucai stepped forward and whispered to Dong Zhuo in his ear.

"Lose, good."

Dong Zhuo put down the wine glass in his hand, stood up, patted Fan Chou and Zhang Ji's shoulders, and grinned.

"I'll leave it to you, remember, the Yuan family rebelled, and no one was left."

"Yes."

Sitting back in his seat leisurely, Dong Zhuo watched Zhang Ji and Fan Chou gather the sergeants and start to storm the Yuan Mansion, and raised his wine glass and saluted to the air.

"Xiao Zhang hasn't come here at this time, it seems that Yuan Ji did send someone to kill me."

Dong Zhuo looked around and didn't see Zhang Xiu's figure.

Before leaving, Li Ru explained that Zhang Xiu would rush here after three minutes, if he didn't come, it would mean that someone had escaped into the Dong Mansion and wanted to assassinate him.

"Probably to kill me."

Li Ru said lightly, he suddenly understood something, but he was not particularly sure.

However, what does a dead man's layout have to worry about?

This time, Luoyang is decided.

Li Ru's heart relaxed a lot, the Yuan family is Dong Zhuo's biggest obstacle in Luoyang, after getting rid of the Yuan family, Dong Zhuo can be regarded as truly and completely taking over the Han court, as for the remaining old Han ministers, they are just a group of soft-boned waste, how much wind and waves can they set off?

With a long breath, Li Ru also sat down, closed his eyes and recuperated, waiting for the Yuan family's head to be sent up.

"Kill!"

"The Yuan family rebelled, and no one remained!"

Fan Chou excitedly kicked open the door of the inner courtyard of the Yuan family, and saw the frightened Yuan family and private soldiers gathered in the courtyard.

Boss Dong arranged for him to do the job of raiding his house, but it was very much in line with his wishes.

Raising the big axe in his hand, Fan Chou took the lead, rushed into the Yuan family's private soldiers, and slashed it.

Blood splashed in the air, and the smell of blood brought him a more sober and exciting feeling, a pleasure that only he could understand.

Zhang Ji on the side was not as excited as Fan Chou, and after identifying the heads, he found that the most important two people were not here, Yuan Ji and Yuan Kui.

Although he didn't know what Yuan Ji looked like, Li Ru had slightly described Yuan Ji's physical characteristics before leaving, and among the Yuan family members he had just seen, none of the men matched what Li Ru described.

Ignoring Fan Chou's indiscriminate slashing and killing there, Zhang Ji grabbed a middle-aged bald man who looked like a housekeeper, forced Yuan Kui to ask about his general movements, and then took his subordinates out of Yuan's mansion and copied them from outside.

Yuan Kui also caught up with Yuan Ji, and the uncle and nephew skillfully passed through various mechanisms and passages to the mansion closest to the city wall.

In the passage, Yuan Ji followed behind Yuan Kui, groping the wall of the dark passage, finding the direction step by step, there was no light in this dark passage.

This mansion is used by Yuan Kui to raise his concubine, so he knows better how to go this way, now is not the time to be uncomfortable and sad, no matter how much Yuan Kui complains about his nephew in his heart, it is still important to flee for his life.

But fortunately, after getting through this period, you will be able to escape, and it is best to be able to survive.

After a long time, they groped their way to the exit, and Yuan Kui took a lot of effort to move the grinding stone of the exit in front of him, and his head emerged from the dark passage, and he took a long breath.

This millstone is in the side courtyard, and you can go directly to the city wall through the secret door in the side courtyard.

Yuan Kui is also a cautious master, after popping out of the small half of his head to look around and glancing at the fact that there was no one in the courtyard, he stepped out of the dark passage and pulled Yuan Ji with his hand.

"Let's go, go back to Runan."

Yuan Kui walked towards the secret door, turned around and sighed, and said to Yuan Ji.

"Hmm."

Yuan Ji dusted off the dust on his body and responded with a sigh of peace.

"Whew! Poof! ”

Suddenly, a strange sound sounded in front of him, and Yuan Ji watched in disbelief as his uncle, who had just opened the secret door, had his throat cut open, his eyes widened, and he looked back at Yuan Ji with disbelief, and slowly fell to his knees.

Ambush!

Yuan Ji quickly retreated and retreated to the dark passage, only to find that many archers had emerged from all over the courtyard wall, and the arrows had already been set on the string, waiting for an order to shoot him through the heart.

Zhang Ji walked into the courtyard with a knife cross, smiled on his face, kicked Yuan Kui's corpse with his foot, and teased Yuan Ji.

"You said that Yuan Kui, who is old and uncultivated, still has such a delicate little girl as a concubine, if I hadn't seen the secret door, I really wouldn't have been able to find you, I had been waiting for a long time."

Sitting on Yuan Kui's corpse, Zhang Ji raised his knife to Yuan Ji.

"Shall I kill you, or will you kill yourself?"
