Two hundred and two: survival of the fittest
Survival of the fittest, the law of the jungle, is the most apt synonym for this era.
At this time, these poor women in Xiangguo's Mansion are undoubtedly the best and most realistic embodiment.
These harem beauties, which were originally exclusive to the emperor, are now reduced to the playthings of Dong Zhuo's subordinates and the "items" that reward and motivate his subordinates.
When the situation is really cold, people go to tea and cool.
Without the protection of the emperor, these women, who should have been high, can only panic and pray every day that the next woman to be toyed with or tortured is not themselves.
In stark contrast, it was the Xiliang soldiers who turned over and sang.
To tell the truth, these rude old men, before they entered Kyoto, were actually just the lowest level, and they were just vulgar soldiers who didn't know tomorrow today.
If it weren't for the Yellow Turban dòng luàn and Dong Zhuo's chaos in Beijing, which led to the change of the world, according to the original path, military men like them would be just "mud legs" in the eyes of those wealthy families and aristocrats.
At that time, they would not be the "majestic" and "domineering" soldier "uncle" like they are now.
Instead, they were killed at will by those high-ranking nobles and lords, and were wantonly robbed of military merits.
Therefore, in the face of the "rules" that exist under the development of this general trend, Gaozhi is powerless.
After all, now, even he himself is nothing more than a captive under the command of others, and he can't control anyone except to constantly strengthen himself.
Shaking his head, he no longer continued to stay in place, Gao Zhi simply raised his pace, accelerated his speed and ran to the front hall of the ceremony, out of sight and out of mind.
When he arrived at the front hall, Gao Zhi found that Lu Bu had already arrived, snuggled the halberd aside, and sat alone in front of the low desk to drink.
Seeing Gao Zhi Lu Bu at this moment, he was also a little surprised.
However, he didn't come directly, but nodded slightly as a greeting, and gestured to the seat next to him with his eyes, letting Gao Zhi take a seat.
Gao Zhi was slightly stunned, Lu Bu sat first on his right hand under Dong Zhuo, which undoubtedly meant that he was the first person among the generals under Dong Zhuo.
In this position, with his reputation as the first person in the world, it is natural to sit down, and no one will trouble him without opening his eyes.
But Gao Zhi is different, among Dong Zhuo's subordinates, there are very few people who have really dealt with him.
And there is no credit at all, on the contrary, as a white horse servant, he also fought fiercely with Dong Zhuo.
This point, even if he is not allowed to become a thorn in the side of everyone in Xiliang soldiers, it is already good.
Now Lu Bu still plans to let him sit down, symbolizing the position of the second military general under Dong Zhuo?
Forget it.
Gao Zhi shook his head, a little refused, and without waiting for Lu Bu to frown, Gao Zhi had already chosen a place to sit down in the back of the place.
Soon after he sat down, a maid in the house served wine and prepared a plate of fruits and melons.
Gao Zhi was not polite, looked around for a while, and simply started directly, taking two bites of three and eating.
"Killing intent, it's a lot heavier, it seems that this time, you've killed a lot of people?" After drinking a glass of wine, Lu Bu suddenly moved down and said lightly next to Gao Zhi.
“... Quite a bit..."Gao Zhi was a little angry, and said angrily, "The kind of place you let me go to, can there be less killing and death?" ”
"Haha, isn't it to let you go there to sharpen your will, so that you can feel and comprehend the existence of killing intent as soon as possible." Lu Bu laughed, raised his head and poured a sip of wine, his eyes narrowed slightly, and said with a smile.
"Besides, aren't you still successful now!"
It was still early, Dong Zhuo had no intention of coming out at all, the two of them simply drank wine, talked and laughed, and completely ignored the people around them.
After about half an hour, Dong Zhuo staggered out of the inner hall with his huge belly.
"I've seen Sangkook!" The generals in the hall all stood up and saluted Dong Zhuo, and Lu Bu was no exception.
"Good!" Dong Zhuo nodded with a smile, at this time, he did not have the slightest violence that had crushed Lu Bu Gaozhi.
But who would have thought that this bloated-looking guy would be able to crush even Lu Bu, who is the number one today.
This seemingly bloated and weak appearance is simply a hidden skin, covering the demonic side that originally belonged to Dong Zhuo.
Every time he thought of this, Gao Zhi would feel worthless for those court officials who dared to assassinate Dong Zhuo in the court, especially those civil officials who were full of hope for the revival of the Han dynasty.
While thinking about it, Gao Zhi's gaze met Dong Zhuo!
Almost instantly, Gao Zhi's aura changed abruptly.
His whole body, in an instant, was faintly terrifying and murderous, and even his pupils seemed to be permeated with a faint blood-colored light.
For some reason, the first time he saw Dong Zhuo's gaze, Gao Zhi felt that his emotions would become very violent and full of murderous intent.
It was as if a large circulating machine had been activated in its body, and it was constantly running.
"Ho ho ho!" Dong Zhuo also noticed the change in Gao Zhi, and his mouth suddenly burst into laughter, as if he had seen something curious and new.
In his eyes, a flame of interest was rekindled, and he looked happily at Gao Zhi not far away, and said with a wild smile, "Tut-tut, what an amazing killing intent, what a tyrannical aura, wonderful, wonderful!"
I heard, you just came back from the Iron and Blood Selection Camp? Ho ho ho, there is such a strong murderous aura all of a sudden, it is really surprising to the old man, Bai Ma Yicong, Gao Zhi! ”
For this person named Gaozhi Baima Yicong, Dong Zhuo actually has some concern.
From being unimpressed a month ago, to now almost every time I see Lu Bu, I will subconsciously ask about his situation.
It can be seen that Dong Zhuo gradually has a lot of uneasiness in his heart.
Because he can't see Lu Bu's depth more and more, what's even worse is that Gao Zhi, this guy, is also growing at an amazing speed.
Although there is still a lot of time before Gao Zhi reaches the level of threatening himself.
But when he saw the heavy killing intent in the other party's eyes just now, Dong Zhuo felt a trace of unease in his heart.
Of course, Dong Zhuo actually wants this effect, using the growth of Lu Bu and Gao Zhi to motivate himself and move towards a higher level of martial arts.
Shaking his head, he didn't dwell too much on Gao Zhi's questions.
Afterwards, Dong Zhuo exchanged a few words with the generals in the hall, and then instructed the people in the palace to serve hot wine and meat again.
Xiliang is located in the northwest, bordering the Xiongnu, Xianbei and other nomadic peoples, under the long-term confrontation and contact, the cultural habits between Xiliang and foreign ethnic groups have also had some communication.
At least, Dong Zhuo, who was stationed in Xiliang all the year round, became infected with the habit of the Huns and discussing important matters during meals.
"Now let's talk about the yellow turban dòng luàn." Dong Zhuo looked at the civil and military forces under his command and said suddenly.
