Chapter 574: Dong Zhuo's Biography (14)
—187 A.D.——
Chang'an, Taishou Mansion.
Dong Zhuo was still a little nervous after returning the original "supervisor" He Miao to Luoyang, and if Luoyang reacted quickly and immediately sent troops, this battle would not be easy to fight.
However, it was not until the "Diao Chan" who was rebelled received the news that the emperor was indeed seriously ill, and the relevant "reaction" was belated: "Feng Acting Superintendent Niu Fu is the Taishou of Chang'an, and the commander-in-chief is left and right to help the wind." ”
From this point of view, He Miao finally couldn't bear the pressure when the situation in Luoyang was chaotic, and took the initiative to explain to the general He Jin and the empress He Yao that he was not actually "making his cronies act as agents for Chang'an affairs", but the fact that he was deceived.
And judging from the fact that this news was still passed on by "Diao Chan", He Yao did not consider the possibility of his subordinates being "rebelled" at all, and did not hesitate to believe them, "Dong Zhuo was only dissatisfied with the reward after quelling the chaos, and there was no sign of recruiting and training the army to prepare for the eastward march after deceiving Supervisor He".
Therefore, the brothers and sisters of the He family, who were busy fighting with the courtiers, the ten permanent servants, and the governors of the eastern states and counties, had no time to deal with this "crossing the line" behavior that they felt was relatively unimportant, so they simply directly sealed Niu Fu a Chang'an Taishou and ordered him to "guard the northwest gate".
"I'm really being looked down upon, thinking that just one Taishou can send me away." Dong Zhuo, who was wearing a purple robe and a high crown, shook his head and threw the information back on the table.
At the same time, the sound of the Liangzhou army's drill faintly came from his ears.
Chang'an is a giant city, which means that it can accommodate 200,000 troops and more than a million people, from the superintendent to the Taishou, for it is just a different shape of the bolt, as for the occupation immediately after the command of the arm, but it is completely overthought about it, after the Liangzhou army and Jia Xu, Li Ru's many suggestions, it also took nearly three years to make it truly recognize Dong Zhuo as the master.
And like such a city with a long history and difficult to completely control, there are five in the world, and in overall order of size, they are Luoyang, Chang'an, Xiangyang, Xuchang, Chengdu/Du, and Jianye.
This kind of ancient city with a rich history will undoubtedly continue unless there are major changes, such as being burned down by someone.
And in a city of this size, Dong Zhuo's "Wushuang" has also been greatly expanded.
The peerless people of others need to be improved through training, studying, and fighting, but their own only need to find a big city with many and miscellaneous people and are willing to communicate with each other, could it be that this is a hint that they should seize the world?
Dong Zhuo walked to the window while thinking, emptying his mind and trying to listen to some "prophecies".
[Emperor General's Fall, It is advisable to go east], very good, it is you again.
[Tomorrow's wind, occasional rain], no need to know this!
[Dong Fat, eat a lot], damn it, shut up!
[Jiangzuo Meilin, admired by the world], there are still people blowing it after three years?
[Lu Bu is really unparalleled, Huaxiong is a thousand people], huh? What does this second half of the sentence mean?
His mind was slightly condensed, and those unclear "prophecies" disappeared from Dong Zhuo's ears.
In the past few years, when Niu Fu served as the supervisor of Chang'an, it was Huaxiong who was responsible for the city defense and surrounding security, and his main responsibility was to eliminate a small number of alien horse thieves who came around, the number was not much, but over time, there should be a thousand people, so he realized the "peerless"?
Because of his own example, Dong Zhuo has some inexplicable expectations for people who only comprehend Wushuang after the age of twenty.
"Someone!" He raised his voice and ordered the secret guards who must be on standby nearby: "Pass the order, come to see Huaxiong in armor and sword!" ”
After a pause, Dong Zhuo said again: "Go to a few bold ones, find Ah Bai and Lingqi, and say that grandfather has something to ask them for help, if you ignore it, don't repeat the urging many times." ”
Even if he didn't use "Wushuang", Dong Zhuo vaguely heard embarrassing voices such as "you go" and "you should go".

"Grandfather." "Grandfather."
A moment later, two young girls were led by a servant whose legs trembled a little to the garden where the Taishou Mansion was located.
Although it is a little inappropriate to describe it as "flowery branches", Dong Zhuo can't think of other descriptions for a while.
At this time, the two granddaughters/granddaughters are ten years old and have their own dressing preferences, Dong Bai is just like her name, she likes pure white and light pink close to white, especially likes fluffy skirts, and only uses black in the choice of hair bands and head flowers, but Lu Lingqi, who follows her all day, disdains color, and chooses pure black or dark purple, and easy to move clothes, and recently asked the exclusive blacksmith in the camp to create a delicate ebony round shield for her.
Such two beautiful little girls walking on the street can be said to be quite eye-catching, and naturally they are inevitably targeted by those who try to steal, those who want to rob, and those who plan to kidnap and blackmail, and they are only survived under the protection of Dong Zhuo's secret guards.
"Grandfather, what's the matter?" After approaching Dong Zhuo, Dong Bai asked in a soft voice, but his eyes were looking for something around.
"What the lord means is that you have to eat too much, grandfather, and you need to go out for activities." Lu Lingqi is still "translating" casually.
The "princess" she called Dong Bai became the "lord" with the unremitting efforts of the people in Liangzhou, although it is still quite strange, but at least it is an acceptable range.
"Hmm, Hua Xiong seems to have comprehended some kind of Wushuang, I plan to try what kind of type it is, I want Ah Bai and Lingqi to watch from the side." Dong Zhuo explained.
The so-called "watching" is just to prevent the "Wushuang" from getting out of control, after all, no matter what kind of accident occurs, the two of them can easily suppress it.
"Okay—ahh Dong Bai answered, walked to the flowers on the side of the road, and opened his mouth to swallow a cluster of small pink and white flowers that were blooming.
Well...... At least she won't casually swallow rabbits, sparrows, butterflies, cicadas and other things that will scare people now, she just eats flowers, and the "princess" must always be a little quirky, right? Dong Zhuo thought without moving.
It would be great if the original "prophecy" of "giving stars to the sky and flowers to the earth" meant this, anyway, there would be no stars for her to swallow.
"General Huaxiong has arrived!" A guard at the door reported loudly.
"Let him come directly to the garden." Dong Zhuo responded.

When Hua Xiong, who was in black armor and black armor, came to the garden, he probably thought that there was some combat mission, so he deliberately took a breath to make a mighty appearance, but this breath was directly dispersed when he saw Dong Bai.
Oh, at present, the army worships the invincible Lu Bu, and in addition to being trapped in the camp, many people also wear black armor in order to approximate - well, pure black armor is better than colorful armor to make.
"I've heard that you've comprehended 'Wushuang'." Dong Zhuo asked directly.
"Comprehension?" Facing Dong Zhuo's inquiry, Hua Xiong looked at Dong Bai and Lu Lingqi, and then replied a little bewildered: "Recently, when my subordinates inspected and caught thieves, they didn't notice any difference in their own strength. ”
"Oh? In this way...... It's not an active or reinforcement 'matchless'. Dong Zhuo groaned.
"Yes......" Although he couldn't be sure why Dong Zhuo was sure that he had comprehended Wushuang, if it was true, it would be a good thing, Hua Xiong waited with some anticipation.
Lu Bu is really unparalleled, and thousands of Huaxiong people have been killed...... Dong Zhuo thought about it, this sounds like an evaluation of the two of them, Feng Xian is "really unequaled" naturally has no doubts, but thousands of people are killed? It's not a boast, Dong Zhuo picked up the "Asura" by himself, and it wouldn't take too long to cut a thousand enemy soldiers.
Well...... Could it be that he was "beheaded by a thousand people"? Dong Zhuo suddenly had an idea, he has outstanding martial arts, and he can be killed a thousand times, which is really good, but he can't test it, if he makes a mistake, a general will be gone.
Dong Zhuo was amused by his own imagination, and subconsciously glanced up at Hua Xiong.
"Zheng ——!"
A stream of crimson flames suddenly rose around Hua Xiong's body, and the flames were fleeting, and in the next moment, they transformed into a crystal blazing long sword with a red trail, and it stabbed straight into Dong Zhuo's heart the moment it appeared.
"Playing with weapons with fire in front of me Dong Zhongying?" Dong Zhuo directly drew the knife and reversed.
"My lord! Stand behind me! Lu Lingqi raised her shield to meet her.
"Huh?" Dong Bai found another cluster of white flowers and gnawed on them.
Sneering –
Lu Lingqi's illusory city wall that was spread out by the shield did not block anything, and Dong Zhuo's asura was also empty, only Dong Bai's mouth was coming out of the sound like when the weapon that had just been built was thrown into the pool and quenched.
"Lord...... Gong ......" Hua Xiong covered his heart with his left hand, stretched forward his right hand, and fell to the ground with a distorted face.
"Hmm...... I heard that it would be very painful to comprehend Wushuang after the age of twenty, and it seems to be true. Dong Zhuo looked at Hua Xiong, who fell to the ground, put away the single knife and commented, and then looked at Dong Bai: "Stop playing, release it, don't you see that General Hua seems to be dying?" ”
“…… Good. Dong Bai puffed out his cheeks and opened his mouth to release the red sword, but it had shrunk by more than half, and the flames on it were all gone, and it just slipped back into Hua Xiong's chest like a fugitive.
"Tell me, why did you stab me?" Dong Zhuo took two steps forward and stared at Hua Xiong lying on the ground.
"This, this 'red sword' will fight back independently when it perceives the killing of itself, the killing intent, the subordinates are also talents, you have to know ......" Hua Xiong replied as if he was frozen, desperately trying to get rid of the pot of the "assassination lord".
"Huh...... It seems that it is really 'beheaded by thousands of people'," Dong Zhuo shook his head: "You have to teach it how to distinguish between 'killing intent' and 'action', otherwise one day if you provoke someone who shouldn't be provoked and be poked to death by a halberd, I won't be able to save you." ”
"Subordinate...... Know. Hua Xiong responded with difficulty, but it seemed to be better than before.
"Send General Hua back to his mansion," Dong Zhuo said to the left and right where no one was around, "and prepare another reward to send later." ”
"Whoa." Several secret guards appeared in response and carried Hua Xiong onto a soft sedan that had already been prepared.
"Hehehe......" Dong Zhuo watched the secret guards carry Hua Xiong away, and raised his hand to touch the top of Dong Bai's hair: "Sure enough, the destiny of heaven is mine." ”
"Hmm......" Dong Bai replied casually as he continued to look for flower clusters.

"Yo, what's wrong with Hua Yingying?" On the way to Washington, the secret guards met Lu Bu who was on his way home, and he looked at Hua Xiong, who was weak, and laughed.
"When you awaken Wushuang, you offended Dong Ye, and then-" A dark guard responded, and then opened and closed his hands, making a gesture of "swallow".
"Hahaha! Deserve! Lu Bu didn't ask anymore, and rode his horse directly past them.
What the? Lord Dong's revenge is so strong? Even a good thing like the awakening of Musou has to be "punished" for being offended? In that case, if you make other big mistakes in the future, will you have to be hunted down to the ends of the earth?
Hou Cheng and Song Xian looked sluggish, and Wei Xu had nothing to say.
Gao Shun and Zhang Liao naturally didn't react much, only Hao Meng, who put on his helmet again to cover his face, was thoughtful.
