Chapter 179: Unbelievable Invitation
"Are you...... Huang boy? ”
Looking at the young face in front of him, Dong Zhuo was stunned and realized that the "Commander of the Guangzong Yellow Turban Thief Army, Zhang Baiqi", who he had been waiting for for a long time, was actually a year-old friend who had met in a tavern in Luoyang because of the matter of sharing a table.
Not to mention Dong Zhuo, even Li Ru was a little dumbfounded, thinking that even if he was resourceful, it would be difficult to guess such an unbelievable thing.
"It's really unpredictable...... Dong Zhuo couldn't help but sigh with emotion, he could see that Zhang Huang in front of him had changed a lot compared to when he met in Luoyang, if it was said that the eyes of this son still retained things that could be called childish, then now Zhang Huang, Dong Zhuo can faintly see something unusual from his eyes.
"Huang boy, you really have nothing to do with the yellow scarf! …… No wonder Sun Wentai wanted to kill you in the first place. ”
After staring at Zhang Huang intently for a long time, Dong Zhuo suddenly burst out laughing, because he remembered Zhang Huang's speechless funny behavior when he jumped off the city wall, and couldn't help but make him laugh.
"In fact, I was not a yellow turban at that time, but Sun Wentai was suspicious of me......"
Zhang Huang explained with a heavy face.
"......" Dong Zhuo, who was holding the wine cup, paused slightly, obviously seeing something from Zhang Huang's expression, and after smacking his lips, he pretended to ask casually, "Is something happening?" ”
"Hmm." Zhang Huang nodded, and sighed from the bottom of his heart, "A lot of things happened during this period, and it's hard to say in a word. ”
Seeing Zhang Huang's gloomy expression, Li Ru frowned slightly, and asked tentatively, "In that case, why does Huang Xiaoyou want to be with the Yellow Turban now?" ”
Under the waiting gaze of Dong Zhuo and Li Ru, Zhang Huanggu took a sip of wine, and then said in a deep voice, "I want to kill the Fifth Gong Yuan!" ”
"Fifth House Yuan?" Dong Zhuo was stunned when he heard this. Reaching out and touching his chin, he muttered hesitantly with a face full of hesitation, "Fifth Gong Yuan...... Sounds familiar, hmm, who is that? ”
While he was stunned, Li Ru's eyes widened suddenly, his eyes were full of horror, and he said in a lost voice, "What Huang Xiaoyou is referring to is the hidden imperial teacher in the ancient rumored. The fifth house with the name of the immortal master? ”
Zhang Huang was stunned when he heard this, and asked in surprise, "Mr. knows?" ”
Before the words fell, he saw Li Ru staring at Zhang Huang with wide eyes, with a look of disbelief, and it wasn't until after a few breaths that he let out a long breath and muttered to himself, "I didn't expect the rumors to be true?" Is there really an immortal immortal in this world? ”
Seeing Li Ru and Zhang Huang, you and I are engaged in chatting with each other. Dong Zhuo was a little anxious, and couldn't help but ask Li Rudao, "Aru, who are you talking about?" ”
I saw Li Ru take a slight breath. Looking back at Dong Zhuo, he said, "Ah Zhuo, have you forgotten the Fang Immortal Temple in the northwest of Luoyang City? According to legend, there lived a national teacher of the imperial court who had lived for several dynasties. This person's surname is fifth, the character Gong Yuan, and the name is unknown. …… That's right. Both Taoism and Confucianism call him the 'Fifth Mister'. ”
"I don't know how many days I've lived?" Dong Zhuo's face showed a little strange look.
As if he had seen through Dong Zhuo's thoughts, Li Ru Zhengse said, "Ah Zhuo should not be suspicious, you must know that there are many mysteries in this world that seem absurd, but they are actually true...... As far as I know from miscellaneous books, the Fifth Gong Yuan has lived for at least two hundred years, and his immortal method is very mysterious, and he is not a mortal man like me. ”
"Really?" Dong Zhuo muttered, looking at his expression, he was still a little suspicious, but seeing Li Ru so sure, even if he doubted the authenticity of that legend, he had to believe it, after all, his trust in Li Ru was no less than his trust in himself.
But in this way, Dong Zhuo became more and more curious about what Zhang Huang said.
"The national teacher of our Han Dynasty...... You're going to kill him? ”
"Yes, I have a different enmity with the Fifth Gong Yuan!" Zhang Huang said in a deep voice.
Dong Zhuo and Li Ru were stunned when they heard this, seeing this, Zhang Huang told the changes that happened when they were in Luoyang City, which contained all kinds of secrets, such as Ma Yuanyi, the commander of the Taiping Dao Luoyang side, was killed by Tang Zhou, a disciple of Fang Xiandao, and for example, the Fifth Gong Yuan, Tang Zhou and others found Zhang Zhen and his stepfather Zhang Xie through his Zhang Huang's hand, and finally was invited by Zhang Liang to join the Yellow Turban Army and become the commander of the Yellow Turban Army.
"Is that so?"
When he heard Zhang Huang dictate that the confrontation between his stepfather Zhang Xie and the Fifth Gong Yuan had caused the huge and towering mountain to collapse, Dong Zhuo, who was still full of indifference, suddenly became solemn.
Also showing a solemn expression was Li Ru, seeing that his eyebrows were slightly furrowed and his lips were closed, he didn't know what he was thinking.
"Don't be easy......"
After a long time, Dong Zhuo had a little sadistic and self-deprecating smile on the corner of his mouth, licked his lips and muttered, "Even if the old monster who lives in ancient rumors appears, its strength is also so terrifying...... Collapse the mountain? Looking at the whole world, there are not many people who can do it, right? …… Aru, do you think sorcery can be so powerful? ”
"It's the Dao Law!" Li Ru corrected Dong Zhuo's words, and immediately shook his head and said, "It seems to be a spell with overwhelming power, and I have only seen a few records in miscellaneous books, but since it was seen by Huang Xiaoyou with his own eyes, I believe it is definitely not made up." ”
Speaking of this, he and Dong Zhuo glanced at each other, and each flashed a few traces of worry and scruples that Zhang Huang couldn't understand.
The three of them drank a few glasses silently, and the atmosphere on the wine table became lively again.
"If you want to kill the Fifth Gong Yuan, what does it have to do with you joining the Yellow Turban? …… According to what you and Ah Ru said, that Fifth Gong Yuan is an old monster who has lived for a long time, and his ability is very terrifying, even if you have hundreds of thousands of yellow scarves to help, you may not be able to kill the other party, right? Dong Zhuo asked puzzled.
Zhang Huang didn't have time to explain when he heard this, so he heard Li Ru look at him and guess, "I thought that Xiaoyou didn't plan to kill the Fifth Palace Yuan with hundreds of thousands of yellow scarves, the reason why he joined the Yellow Turban was mostly because he was afraid of the status of the Fifth Palace Yuan as a national teacher of the imperial court, and he was afraid that the imperial court would attack him after learning about it, so he had already prepared." But ......" Speaking of this, Li Ru looked at Zhang Huang hesitantly and asked, "Even if the fifth palace is the only one, could it be that Xiaoyou is sure?" ”
"......" Zhang Huang was silent.
In fact, he had subconsciously ignored this key issue several times, after all, the terrifying strength displayed by the Fifth Gong Yuan at the beginning really left a deep impression on him. So much so that even if he was carrying a powerful demon soul such as Yiwu, Zhang Huang did not dare to boast that he would definitely be able to defeat the Fifth Gong Yuan in the future. Otherwise, if he really had this confidence, he would not be afraid that Li Tong, Zang Ba, Chen Zhi and other companions would be implicated and disband the Black Feather Crow and face the Fifth Gong Yuan alone.
"Let's take one step at a time!"
After Zhang Huang finished saying this in a gloomy tone, the atmosphere on the wine table became gloomy again.
Seeing this, Dong Zhuo pondered for a moment, then suddenly laughed and diverted the topic, "What I said is that there will always be a way to come in the future." But before that...... Huang Boy. Now that you are the commander of the Jizhou Yellow Turban Army, you invite my uncle and me out to eat, what is the matter? I don't think you don't know, uncle, I am now the commander of the Northern Army, and I have come to conquer you and others on the orders of the imperial court...... Like you, you came to see me without even bringing an attendant, aren't you afraid that your uncle will take you down and make contributions to the court? When he said this, his face was full of playfulness and ridicule.
"Didn't you bring it!"
Zhang Huang shrugged his shoulders, and at this time, Guo Tai walked out of the back room with a jar of wine in his hand. Obviously, it was for Dong Zhuo and others to add wine.
Seeing Guo Tai, who was respectfully pouring wine for himself and others, and then at Zhang Huang, whose face did not change, Dong Zhuo asked curiously, "Are you really not afraid that I will arrest you?" ”
Listen to these words that seem to be unfavorable to yourself. Zhang Huang was still unfazed in his heart, he didn't believe that a bold hero like Dong Zhuo would really take him down in private, regardless of his old feelings and face.
Based on this consideration. Therefore, Zhang Huang's words are quite simple.
"Uncle saved my life at the beginning, but now if the uncle wants to take back the kid's life, then take it back! …… Uncle and Mr. are far above me. I won't resist, and I won't win anyway. ”
Rao is Dong Zhuo originally planned to just make a harmless joke with Zhang Huang, but he couldn't help but look at Zhang Huang a little higher because of this, and when he saw Zhang Huang eating and drinking by himself with an indifferent face, he suddenly felt a little crying and laughing.
"You kid......" Shaking his head helplessly, Dong Zhuo took a sip of wine from the wine cup, and then the look on his face gradually became serious. He slowly put down the wine cup, looked at Zhang Huang Zhengse and said, "Do you want to ask Dong to let you wait for a way out?" ”
For some reason, Zhang Huang suddenly felt that Dong Zhuo in front of him had become a little unfamiliar, and after being slightly stunned, he shook his head and said, "No! …… The kid just wants to try it and see if I can get my uncle to help me win this battle! ”
"What?" Dong Zhuo was stunned for a moment, looked at Zhang Huang with a dull expression, and said in amazement, "You...... Do you want me to help you? Do you know that I am the commander of the Northern Army?! ”
It is no wonder that Dong Zhuo was dumbfounded, because he didn't expect Zhang Huang not only to ask him to release the water, but even hoped that he would release the water more thoroughly, so that the Yellow Turban Army could win the Northern Army.
This kind of unbelievable remarks, combined with the current opposing identities and statuses of the two, even Li Ru was surprised. However, the learned man, known as the poisoner, did not speak, and twisted the beard on his chin with his right hand, as if thinking about something.
"Boy, what nonsense are you talking about?" Dong Zhuo was very suspicious that Zhang Huang in front of him was drunk and confused, otherwise how could he say such an unbelievable request?
But in fact, Zhang Huang's seemingly unbelievable request was not completely unconsidered, after all, as far as he knew, Dong Zhuo, the commander of the Northern Army who replaced Lu Zhi, suffered a crushing defeat in Guangzong in history. In the past, Zhang Huang didn't think so, but now combined with the force and strategy of Dong Zhuo and Li Ru, Zhang Huang is very suspicious that Dong Zhuo really lost to Guangzong Yellow Turban. You know, he doesn't think that there is anyone under his command who can defeat the combination of Dong Zhuo and Li Ru.
"Plus the kid owes the uncle a favor, what's the matter?" Zhang Huang looked at Dong Zhuo and said seriously.
Dong Zhuo finally realized that Zhang Huang was not full of drunken nonsense, his eyes were blazing as he stared at the junior in front of him who said such unbelievable words, and after half a sound, he grinned, "Your kid's favor...... Hey! Do you think Dong will be of use to you in the future? ”
"After all, it's multiple friends and many paths!" Looking directly into Dong Zhuo's eyes, Zhang Huang said with a chuckle.
"......" The smile on Dong Zhuo's face gradually retracted, staring at Zhang Huang intently, and after dozens of breaths, he slapped the table and laughed: "Okay!" Good! Good! …… In that case, then you and I are in the same boat! After that, he asked Li Ru with a smile: "Aru, I have made up my mind, what do you think?" ”
Li Ru glanced at Zhang Huang deeply, and even nodded and said, "It's feasible!" ”
"Really?" Zhang Huang and Guo Tai were both refreshed when they heard this. Especially Guo Tai, his face was full of incredulity, after all, he never thought that Zhang Huang would directly ask the enemy commander to secretly help him, and what is even more incredible is that the other party really agreed.
"Unbelievable?" Dong Zhuo obviously noticed Guo Tai's frightened look and asked playfully.
Guo Tai nodded with a sluggish face, and said in astonishment, "You...... Aren't you the commander of the Northern Army? It stands to reason that there is no reason to wait for me ......"
"......" Dong Zhuo looked down at the wine cup and was silent, and after a long time, he looked at Zhang Huang Zhengse and said, "Since you are a person on the same boat, Dong will not hide it from you." Why does Dong want to help you wait? Hehe. As he spoke, he sighed slightly, shook his head as if self-deprecating, and then muttered as if in remembrance, "One day, I will stand taller than this day!" ”
[Huh?] ]
Listening to Dong Zhuo's brainless words, Zhang Huang and Guo Tai looked at each other.
On the side, Li Ru's face also showed a little memory.
[Ah Zhuo, the sky, and even the things that are high, it is impossible for people to stand higher than the sky. 】
[Yes...... So what is it under heaven? 】
[It is the Son of Heaven!] 】
[Oh, that's it! …… One day, I, Dong Zhongying, will definitely stand taller than that day! 】
"Hoo ——!"
With a long breath, Dong Zhuo's mood seemed to become bad, and he poured a few glasses of spirits in a row, and said in a low tone, "Let's talk about business!" …… Aru, if it were you, would you be able to tell them to destroy the Northern Army? ”
[Annihilation of the Northern Army?!] ]
Rao is Zhang Huang and Guo Tai have been prepared in their hearts, and they were also shocked by Dong Zhuo's words.
Li Ru nodded with a smile and said, "If I plot against them, even if they try their best, they won't be able to find a flaw!" …… However, for the sake of the future, it is better to stay in the cantonment camp. The Tun Cavalry Battalion is not as hostile to us as the rest, or it may be possible to recruit and absorb. After that, he seemed to explain to Dong Zhuo and Zhang Huang, and said with a smile, "In order to hide people's eyes, I will wait for one battalion after another to eradicate it, and slowly figure it out." ”
At this time, Dong Zhuo seemed to have adjusted his mood back, and when he heard this, he grinned and sneered, "Then let's punish the infantry battalion first!" …… Are you sure, Aru? ”
From his words, it is not difficult to see that he has already secretly had murderous intent towards infantry captain Liu Jiang.
"It's easy!"
Li Ru replied lightly.
Seeing that the three people on the table had decided the life and death of the soldiers of the first battalion of the Northern Army in just a few words, Guo Tai's face was full of sluggishness. (To be continued......)
