On the second day, a fire rose outside Luoyang as scheduled, and the smoke filled the capital, which made people panic, and many people thought that there was a war in the capital, so they closed the gate and hid in their homes, causing a depression in the city.

Different from the scene in the city, because they knew the cause in advance, the people of Mengjin, where the incident occurred, were all calm at this time, what to do, everything was in order.

"Hey, so much popular heart, I gave it to my father in vain, it's really a little reluctant."

Walking on the streets of Mengjin, watching the people calmly doing their own things, Ding Xiao couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

However, he also knows that in the future, after all, it will be his father Ding Yuan who will carry the flag, and it is always a good thing to gain more popular support, at least, it can enhance his father's prestige.

"This time, my father has been named a loyal general, although he is a miscellaneous general, but he is a real power general with territory and military power, and there are generals such as Zhang Liao, Xu Huang, Gao Shun, etc., if you add some good reputation, maybe there will really be people who come to your father's account when the time comes." Ding Xiao thought to himself.

It's not impossible!

It must be known that those well-known forces often have a cloud of strategists and few opportunities to get ahead.

Individual celebrities want to show their ambitions, but also do not want to be buried in the strategist pile, they will choose to take refuge in a force without strategists, in history Xu Shu voted for Liu Bei, Chen Gong voted for Lu Bu, and Jia Xu voted for Zhang Xiu for this reason.

And now, Ding Yuan is in the same situation, so Ding Xiao believes that there will definitely be celebrities who will take the initiative to come to take refuge, at least, the possibility of Chen Gong coming is relatively large.

"Forget it, it's useless to think about it now. Whoever comes up in the future will be a surprise to me! ”

After staying in the city for a while, Ding Xiao felt that the time was almost up, so he took Dian Wei to Beijing.

"Let's go, go back to Beijing and wait for news!"

"Yes."

When the two returned to their residence, Zhang Yang had already sent Mu Shun to bring the news.

As Ding Xiao expected, although the fire outside the city was pervasive at this time, the Empress Dowager He, who was listening to the government, was still unmoved and resolutely refused to kill the ten permanent servants.

He Jin was very angry, and immediately after returning home, he issued a military order again, ordering Dong Zhuo and others to enter Beijing as soon as possible.

"He Jin is in a hurry to find death."

Ding Xiao shook his head and smiled.

To be honest, if it were someone else, he might come to the rescue, but He Jin's words were a little worthless.

This is not because the other party is a butcher, but because this thing has no brains at all and is not worthy of the identity of a general.

Kill a few eunuchs, why do you have to get the consent of the Queen Mother? Directly cut it first, bring someone in and kill it, and then go over to apologize to Empress Dowager He, saying that this is for your good, just ask, can his sister really turn her face with him?

But now, he is so laborious, not to mention, and he also lures wolves into the house, leading to endless troubles!

For this kind of person, Ding Xiao has always scoffed at him, and he will not feel sorry at all.

"Mu Shun, please tell Brother Zhang, if you have the opportunity, let him apply to the general and transfer him to the local government as soon as possible." He turned his head and asked Mu to follow.

“…… Be! ”

Although Mu Shun was puzzled, he knew that his identity did not match, so he didn't ask more, "I'll go back and tell my general." ”

With that, he took his leave.

At this moment, Lu Bu hurriedly walked in with a person.

"Brother Elimination, it's not good, my father-in-law was suddenly introduced into the palace by the Empress Dowager He!"

"What?!"

Ding Xiao's face changed suddenly, he hurriedly stood up, and looked at Lu Bu behind him, but it was the general Gao Shun, so he hurriedly asked, "Brother Gao, tell me what's going on?" ”

"Someone from the palace came to the palace, and General Xuanding entered the palace urgently, but he didn't say anything, and the general asked me to inform the major general and General Lu before leaving, and I rushed over immediately." Gao Shun told truthfully.

"Let's go! Let's wait outside the palace! ”

As he spoke, Ding Xiao took the lead and walked towards the door.

"Brother Xiao, will it be dangerous for my father-in-law to go?" Lu Bu caught up and asked.

“…… Hopefully not. ”

Ding Xiao thought for a while, and said in a deep voice.

At this moment, his heart was extremely heavy, and he already had the worst in his heart, but his face remained calm.

"This should be the crime of the Ten Standing Servants who learned that General Ding sent someone to set the fire, so they wanted Empress Dowager He to cure the general's crime." Gao Shun speculated on the side.

"How can this be?!"

Lu Bu hurriedly said, "No! I have to go and meet the general right away and beg him to save my father-in-law. ”

"Wait!"

Ding Xiao grabbed Lu Bu, "These people should know that arson was originally an order from the great general He Jin, and when they took away their father, they were demonstrating to He Jin!" If the general goes to ask for someone, they jump under the wall in a hurry, and the father is even more dangerous! ”

"So what to do? You can't just watch your father-in-law suffer, right?! ”

As he spoke, Lu Bu's body suddenly burst into a fierce battle spirit, "Hmph! Or I'll take people into the palace and slaughter these eunuchs!" ”

"Brother-in-law, no!"

"Bongxian! Be calm at this point! ”

Ding Xiao and Gao Shun opened their mouths at the same time to block the road.

"Bringing troops into the palace is a great crime to exterminate the Nine Clans, you must not act impulsively!" Gao Shun persuaded.

"Brother Gao is right."

Ding Xiao nodded and said, "Father's arson was originally ordered to act, and he didn't burn down a building today, let alone hurt the people of Mengjin in the slightest, even if the Queen Mother wanted to punish his father's sin, it should only be a minor crime!" If my brother-in-law brings troops over, it will be self-defeating! ”

"Oh?"

Lu Bu stopped, his face puzzled, "Since it was arson, why didn't anyone die or be injured?" ”

"I owe a lot to Major General for this......"

Gao explained the cause and effect of the incident by the way.

After listening to this explanation, Lu Bu laughed heartlessly, "Haha, it turns out that Brother Xiao has already arrived, so I am worried in vain!" ”

"That's right! Father is just a minor sin! ”

Lu Bu's words made Ding Xiao suddenly calm down.

Because he knew that the person who the Ten Standing Servants really wanted to kill was He Jin, who was in a high position.

If the other party chooses to move Ding Yuan, who is only the state pastor at this time, he is simply startling the snake!

It doesn't make sense at all.

Thinking of this, his hanging heart finally fell back into place, and a smile appeared on his face again, "With this crime alone, the Ten Standing Servants can't do anything to their father at all!" ”

"That's it!"

Lu Bu echoed with a smile.

"But those ten permanent servants are insidious and cunning, won't they give the general a charge?" Gao Shun asked with some unease.

"At this juncture, no!"

After Ding Xiao replied very firmly, his heart moved, and he asked Gao Shun, "Brother Gao, you recall carefully, did the people from the palace invite my father over at that time, or did I arrest my father back?" ”

"They didn't do it at the time, as for the attitude...... It seems to be very polite. Gao Shun lowered his head and thought for a while, then spoke.

"That's right!"

Ding Xiao's face was happy, so he turned around and walked back.

"What's right? Brother Xiao, don't say half a word! I'm dying! Lu Bu caught up and asked.

And Gao Shun also looked puzzled, "Young General, let's not wait for the general outside the palace?" ”

"There shouldn't be the slightest danger for my father to go, so why are we going to the gate of the palace?" Ding Xiao asked with a smile.

"The general is not in danger?!"

Gao Shun said he couldn't understand, "Why did the young general say this?" ”

"That's right! Say it quickly! ”

Lu Bu was so anxious that he twisted Ding Xiao back, and he couldn't wait to slap Ding Xiao on the spot, "Don't think about going back if you don't say it!" ”

"Okay, I'll say I'll say it."

Ding Xiao smiled helplessly, "I guess, the ten permanent servants invited their father to go this time, it should be to win over their father......"
