"General Meng, remember your promise." Dong Cheng mocked Meng Tian.

"Don't worry, Meng Tian does what he says!" Meng Tian snorted coldly.

"Wait!"

Suddenly, the crowd heard a shout,

"General Meng, fortunately, Li Ru was found by the last general." Li Yuanfang arched his hand and said.

"Bring people in!"

Soon, two soldiers escorted a middle-aged man up, not Li Ru, but no one.

"Li Ru!"

Meng Tian walked in front of Li Ru, and at the same time waved his hand, signaling the person who grabbed Li Ru to let go of Li Ru.

"Li Ru has seen General Meng."

"Montaigne has always only heard of Li Ru's name, but he has never seen him, and today I am finally fortunate to see him." Meng Tian sighed.

"General Lao Meng is worried, but Li Ru has always been reluctant to let General Meng see Li Ru, after all, once General Meng sees Li Ru, then Li Ru will be finished."

"You don't want to see me, but you still see me." Meng Tian said with a smile.

"Yes, so Li Ru will die soon!" Li Ru smiled bitterly.

"It's a pity, it's a pity, why did you say you brought Lord Dong's family to the funeral."

Meng Tian said with emotion.

"Of course, it is better to have someone to bury than to bury without one." Li Ru laughed.

"Li Ru, you did it on purpose! You dog thief! Dong Cheng was furious, pointed at Li Ru's face, and scolded.

"Lord Dong, Lord Zhao has already reminded you, but you are stubborn, what do you have to say now?" Meng Tian sneered at Li Ru.

"Meng Tian, you have to spare people and spare people, even if you take my Dong Cheng's life, I only hope you will spare a few hundred people in Dong Mansion."

At this point, Dong Cheng knew that it was too late, and he Dong Cheng would definitely die, so he could only beg Meng Tian to let the others go.

"It's too late, harboring the thief, the sin is unforgivable, Montaigne can't be the master, you still wait for Your Majesty to send it. And even if you do the Lord, Montaigne will not let you go, you are just going to kill me! Meng Tian sneered.

"Take the people and go!"

Meng Tian turned around and left directly, not giving Dong Cheng a chance to plead again.

Outside the Dong Mansion,

"Kan Leng!"

"The last general!"

"Go and transfer another thousand soldiers to guard the Dong Mansion for the general, not a single fly will let them fly out, if there is someone from the Dong Mansion who forcibly breaks out, they will be killed on the spot." Meng Tian walked out of the gate of the Dong Mansion and gave an order to Kan Leng.

"No!"

……

Following

"Li Ru, I really didn't expect you to fall into the hands of me and others like this!" Zhao Pu sighed.

"The lord has been dead for many years, and the revenge has been avenged, and you have caught all my subordinates again, in this world, there are not many acquaintances of Li Ru, in this case, what else is worthy of Li Ru's nostalgia in this world."

Li Ru didn't hide it, and directly said the reason, Li Ru, Zhao Pu, Zhang Liang, everyone knew that Li Ru was self-defeating, if Li Ru really wanted to hide, catching him was tantamount to looking for a needle in a haystack.

"Didn't you take refuge in Yizhou, why don't you follow Yizhou's soldiers and horses to Yizhou?" Zhao Pu asked curiously.

"He has taken refuge in Yizhou, and he and Yizhou are just cooperating. Li Ru has only one master in this life, but he is dead. ”

Li Ru sneered, looking at his face, he didn't seem to take Yizhou and Liu Bang in his eyes.

"But according to the information we have gotten, you have indeed taken refuge in Yizhou!"

Zhao Pu didn't believe Li Ru's answer, he thought it was just Li Ru's prevarication, or Li Ru's explanation to maintain his dignity.

"I did say to the people of Yizhou to take refuge in Yizhou, and this is just for the purpose of staying in Chang'an."

Li Ru saw Zhao Pu's thoughts and explained with a smile.

"With your intelligence, since you have taken refuge in Yizhou, how can the people of Yizhou leave you in Chang'an, this dangerous place?" Wang Bodang asked.

"Because a certain person told that Peng Yue said that a certain person stayed in Chang'an to find out the situation in Chang'an, and to help the people of Yizhou take Chang'an in the future."

Li Ru said a lot today, and he answered whatever Meng Tian asked, and also gave an explanation.

"With the forces you control, with your layout near Chang'an, if the Yizhou army kills, coupled with your cooperation, it will indeed cause great trouble to our army." Meng Tian nodded, agreeing with Li Ru's answer.

"Li Ru, are you willing to serve Your Majesty!" Wang Bodang stared at Li Ru.

"I heard you right!"

Li Ru was a little suspicious, not only Li Ru, Zhao Pu, Zhang Liang and others, as for Meng Tian, Meng Tian had already thought of it, although Meng Tian was a rough person, but he knew Liu Wei, and Wang Bodang came, so it was definitely not as simple as taking Li Ru.

"This official didn't lie to you, this is the choice given to you by Your Majesty, either die or serve Your Majesty." Wang Bodang said very seriously.

"Although Liu Wei is a Ming lord and a male lord, it's a pity that the loyal ministers don't care about the two masters, and it can only be said that Li Ru has nothing to do with him."

Li Ru did not hesitate and directly shook his head and refused.

"You don't have to answer to the official so quickly, one of your old people will come to Chang'an in two days, and you will be giving the official an answer at that time."

Wang Bodang gave Li Ru a chance again, and as for who Wang Bodang was talking about, Li Ru had already guessed.

"He really didn't die!"

Li Ru smiled bitterly,

"Well, let's meet him, he is Li Ru's last old friend in this world, let's see him for the last time."

Li Ru seems to have made up his mind and has no intention of taking refuge in Liu Bian.

……

Two days later,

"Mr. Jia Xu, did the journey go well?" Wang Bodang met Jia Xu.

"Smooth, very smooth, when I first went to Yanjing, Jia Xu was sneaky and cautious, and I didn't have time to see the scenery along the way, but this time it was an eye-opener for Jia Xu!" Jia Xu exclaimed.

"What does Mr. Jia think?"

Wang Bodang asked, hearing Jia Xu's exclamation, Wang Bodang unconsciously gave birth to a sense of pride.

"Jia Xu, I have never seen such a prosperous scene in the Han Dynasty, Jia Xu really admires Your Majesty and admires the adults in the court."

"Haha, Mr. Jia Xu may also become one of them." Wang Bodang laughed.

"Jia Xu doesn't know how many years he has left in this world, Jia Xu has been calculating and planning for himself all his life, and he has never thought of making a career, and now he should do something to make up for the mistakes I made in the past."

Jia Xu sighed, as the saying goes, nature is hard to change, Jia Xu's life's planning is for himself, even now is no exception, he will indeed work hard to make a big deal, but not to make up for his mistakes, or to make the people peaceful, but for his son Jia Fu.

The longer he follows Liu Bian, the longer he stays in Yanjing, and the more deeds he has heard, Jia Xu already hopes that Cao Cao, or Jingzhou, or Yizhou can defeat Liu Bian, although Liu Wei once promised Jia Xu to give Jia Fu a chance in advance, but Jia Xu knows Jia Fu and knows that Jia Fu will not necessarily listen to him this time, so Jia Xu must make some merits and make plans to keep Jia Fu in the future.

"Mr. Jia, you go and meet Li Ru, if possible, then try to persuade him to serve His Majesty." Wang Bodang said to Jia Xu.

"I'll try my best!"

Jia Xu's voice was a little dull, Jia Xu knew Li Ru and knew that it would be impossible for Li Ru to take refuge in Liu Wei with Li Ru's character, so Li Ru's fate was already doomed.

Jia Xu has never had friends in his life except when he was young, and now he may not have any friends except for Li Ru, who can be regarded as half a confidant and friend, and Li Ru's result still makes him a little depressed.

Soon after, Wang Bodang took Jia Xu to the room where Li Ru was imprisoned.

Originally, Meng Tian planned to put Li Ru in prison, but was stopped by Wang Bodang, because Liu Wei had already instructed him to treat Li Ru as well as possible.

"Open the door!"

Wang Bodang instructed the soldiers guarding outside Li Ru's gate.

"No!"

The door soon opened, and Wang Bodang took Jia Xu into the room.

"Li Ru, someone is here!"
