The news of Dong Zhuo's death soon spread all over the world.

The Son of Heaven and all the officials were overjoyed, and held a banquet in the palace to celebrate, and agreed to Lu Bu's performance, worshiping Yuan Shao as the servant and Cao Cao as the Guanglu doctor, and ordered the two to enter Luoyang to visit the court.

Dong Zhuo's head was sent to Chang'an, and the body was left in Luoyang, where the body was exposed in the market for the people to see.

After so many years of prestige and blessing, there is finally retribution in this dynasty.

The people who passed by all showed resentment on their faces, spat on their mouths, trampled on their corpses, lit their navels with torches as lamps, and filled the ground with fat.

Some bold naughty boys ran over, jumping around the corpse and laughing and singing: "Qianli grass, He Qingqing; Ten days, no life. ”

As soon as Dong Zhuo died, his clansmen and henchmen were killed, and they were named one by one by the imperial court, and all of them were killed.

If you are unlucky, you will be cut off on the spot; Slightly more lucky, such as Li Dao and Zhang Ji, although they were not directly killed, they also became lost dogs and had nowhere to return.

Looted Dong Zhuo's family property in Luoyang, including hundreds of thousands of gold, tens of thousands of copper coins, Qiluo, jewelry, utensils, and grain.

Such a large amount of property is enough to expand the purchase of many armor and horses.

Yuan Shao and Cao Cao are good brothers, tacitly agreed, two by one, added five, and laughed at them.

West of Luoyang, Gucheng.

Xu Rong, who successfully broke through, took Dong Bai to see Lu Bu, and when Lu Bu learned about this, he had a rough idea in his heart and let them in.

Dong Bai walked into the hall, his small body leaned down slightly, and said to Lu Bu Shili: "Uncle Lu, Bai'er has asked you to say goodbye." ”

Lu Bu raised his hand, signaling that the little girl didn't need to be polite, and then asked, "Bai'er, why aren't you with your Weng Weng?" ”

In the past, when he was in Luoyang, the little girl often came to his house to play, and Lu Bu liked this lively and lovely little girl very much.

"Weng Weng asked me to come and play with the little bell, and he said that he would come back to pick me up when the battle was over."

Dong Bai said innocently, the smile on his face was so innocent. didn't know at all that her Weng Weng would never come back.

Lu Bu glanced at Xu Rong, who was standing there straight in his posture despite his clothes and armor, like a pine.

Lu Bu didn't ask, and he didn't take the initiative to speak.

"Little Bell is in Chang'an, you can rest here for one night today, and tomorrow I will send someone to see Little Bell, okay?"

Lu Bu withdrew his gaze and looked at Dong Bai, with a little more gentleness in his eyes.

He thought about it in his heart, Dong Zhuo's death, let's tell her later.

"Uh-huh."

Thinking that he could see the little bell, Dong Bai chick nodded his head obediently as if he was pecking rice, full of joy, and agreed.

Subsequently, Lu Bu asked someone to lead Dong Bai down to rest, and fled all the way, probably tired.

After Dong Bai left, only Lu Bu and Xu Rong were left in the lobby.

"Shumao, we haven't seen each other for a while." After a moment of silence, Lu Bu broke the silence in the hall.

Recalling that back then, he and Xu Rong also fought side by side and beat Xianbei. Lu Bu admires Xu Rong's personality very much, with a calm temperament, unsmiling, almost a copy of Gao Shun.

Xu Rong clenched his fists and replied respectfully: "It's been almost two years." ”

Who would have thought that the young general, who was still on an equal footing with him back then, has now thrown him a lot away and is far behind.

"What are your plans for the future?"

When Lu Bu asked this question, Xu Rong was silent.

He blocked the Kwantung princes at the Tiger Pass, firmly holding out hundreds of thousands of troops. Now that Dong Zhuo is dead, the Son of Heaven has issued an edict, and all the henchmen under Dong Zhuo's command have been executed, and he cannot escape it.

"Are you interested in following me?"

Speaking without warning, Lu Bu looked at Xu Rong and continued: "There are no outsiders here, so I'll get straight to the point." I know your ability, and it is never an exaggeration to say that you are a general. Now most of my generals are reckless, and there are not many who can control the field, and I need talents like you. ”

Speaking of the last sentence, Lu Bu's face showed sincerity.

"Wenhou, you are not afraid of ......"

Xu Rong wanted to speak and stopped, his expression moved.

He is now wanted by the imperial court, and he is a key criminal related to the Dong Zhuo incident, and his reputation can be said to be completely ruined. He didn't want to drag Lu Bu down because of this, and even thought about changing his name and surname and re-entering the barracks, even if it was just to be a small soldier.

For the army, Xu Rong has his own beliefs.

Lu Bu waved his hand disapprovingly, excusing Xu Rong: "Dong Zhuo did everything in the past, you just obeyed orders, and now that Dong Zhuo is dead, it can be regarded as an explanation." As for the guilt, it should not be counted on your head. ”

It is the duty of a soldier to obey orders.

After a while, Lu Bu asked again: "How is it, have you thought about it?" ”

In fact, Xu Rong didn't have too many worries from the beginning, Dong Zhuo was promoted back then, and he was desperate to repay him. From being ordered to be in danger at Tiger Prison Pass, to later serving as the general of Zhenguan, and now desperately protecting the young master from trouble, one by one, he can show his loyalty to Dong Zhuo.

However, now that Dong Zhuo is dead, he has become a lost dog, everyone shouts and beats, and no one wants to take him in.

When Xu Rong was young, he was determined to be a famous general in history and show his strength, so he was unwilling to die.

Now, Lu Bu opened his mouth and kept him.

Since Lu Bu was not afraid of dragging, he had no other worries, and immediately hugged his fists and replied: "Thanks to the general's refusal to give up, I am willing to serve the general." ”

Seeing that Xu Rong was willing to submit, Lu Bu immediately got up and walked to the hall, helped Xu Rong up, laughed, and was full of pride: "Hahaha, I have Shu Mao, like a tiger with wings!" ”

Xu Rong's expression seemed to be flattered, in front of this powerful general, where could he be regarded as a big man, and humbly replied: "Wen Hou praised, he should not be praised like this." ”

Lu Bu was in a good mood, patted Xu Rong on the shoulder, so that he didn't have to worry about the court, and then asked people to clean the room and lead Xu Rong over to rest.

After Xu Rong left, two figures walked out from behind the erected screen.

"Congratulations to the general, a new tiger general has been added."

Xi Ce took the lead in congratulating Lu Bu, he didn't know much about Xu Rong, but he was able to block the attack of hundreds of thousands of princes' coalition troops on the Tiger Prison Pass, and his strength was very visible.

Lu Bu was already happy to accept Xu Rong, but when he heard the congratulations of the joke, he said with a smile: "Xu Rong is also forced to have no way, otherwise how could he be so easily submissive to me." ”

The two of them were laughing there, and Chen Gong next to him had a worried face.

"General, is this inappropriate?"

Chen Gong reminded in a whisper that one was Dong Zhuo's bloodline, and the other was a rebel general who aided the rebellion, both of which were wanted figures named by the imperial court. If Lu Bu protects these two, he will inevitably oppose the imperial court.

This is something that Chen Gong does not want to see.
