Tingwei's Mansion.

Li Hao's face was gloomy, staring at Li Ru with a bitter face, and his mood was as complicated as ten million grassland beasts rushing by.

He thought that Dong Zhuo was seriously ill, but he didn't expect it to be so serious that he might die at any time.

The drama of the princes begging Dong has just begun, if Dong Zhuo, who is the protagonist, dies like that, who should play the next scene?

Me?

Li Hao's heart was half self-deprecating, half helpless and cranky.

He thought that no matter how much history changed, the general direction would not change easily. After all, there is a number of qi in the dark, but he didn't expect that history would not only change, but also change at such a critical moment.

The important protagonist who triggered the princes of the Eighteenth Road to discuss Dong died when the performance had just reached its climax!

The most troublesome thing is that as soon as Dong Zhuo dies, the Xiliang army will inevitably collapse because the dragons are leaderless. When the time comes, either the Western Liang Army surrenders to the Kwantung Alliance, so that the Kwantung princes can win without a fight, and their strength will increase greatly. Either the Xiliang army scattered and fled and turned into a rogue and was the party to the disaster.

And no matter what it is, it is not the scene that Li Hao wants to see.

He took a deep breath and asked, "How could Dong Zhongying suddenly become critically ill?" ”

Li Ru smiled bitterly: "In March, Xiangguo heard that the Kwantung rebels sent a vanguard to take Yingchuan, intending to open the gate to Sili, and in a fit of rage, he personally led a large army to attack the Yingchuan rebels, but he didn't expect to be shot in the shoulder by a stray arrow.

At first, it was fine, but recently, Sangkook's injury suddenly deteriorated, and we called in many doctors to no avail. ”

Li Hao frowned and said, "How is Dong Zhongying's condition now, and what's the matter with letting you come?" ”

Li Ru's expression was heavy, and he sighed: "This matter, hey, Tingwei should go and see for himself." ”

Xiangguo Mansion.

When Li Hao saw Dong Zhuo again, he was really taken aback.

I saw that Dong Zhuo, who was once strong, was no longer colorless, and his thin figure was as thin as skin and bones. His cheeks were sunken, his eyes were blank, and he was wrapped in a thick quilt in the summer, and he looked like he was about to die.

"Dong Xiangguo?" Li Hao hesitated.

Dong Zhuo's eyes moved slightly, a stiff smile appeared on his face, and he said weakly: "Zhijie is here." ”

Li Hao muttered in his mouth, but there were no words.

Although he is not proficient in medical skills, he can also sense that Dong Zhuo's fire of life is like a candle in the wind, and it is difficult to say whether he can survive this month.

Li Hao doesn't like Dong Zhuo, but when he sees with his own eyes a hero who stirs up the world, he is about to fall in this not glamorous situation, and he can't help but feel a little sad.

Of course, what made him even more headache was that Dong Zhuo was finished, and there had been unprecedented changes in history.

"My life is short, according to the Zhijie, who can inherit my clothes?" Dong Zhuo was weak and asked suddenly.

Li Hao's eyes narrowed slightly, thinking about Dong Zhuo's intentions.

Dong Zhuo seemed to just ask casually, and said to himself: "Guo Yan and Li Dao are not good, they can be generals, not handsome, and their prestige is not enough to convince the public." Although Li Ru was resourceful, his personality was slightly softer and he was unable to suppress Guo Yan and other arrogant generals. Feng Xian is not good, brave and resourceful, and his personality is impulsive and irritable. ”

When Dong Zhuo said this, his dim gaze looked straight at Li Hao.

If he could, he didn't want to choose Li Hao.

It's just that the development time of the Xiliang Army is too short, and the background is too shallow.

Although Dong Zhuo is arrogant and domineering, he is also self-aware.

If it is a peaceful and prosperous era, those subordinates may be able to take charge of the development of the Xiliang Army and protect his Dong family. But at present, the princes of the four directions are attacking, but no one can shoulder the heavy responsibility.

The two looked at each other, neither of them knowing what was going on in each other's minds.

Dong Zhuo was silent for a long time and sighed.

Now, he has no choice.

surrendered to the alliance of princes, it was impossible for people to let him go, let alone let his whole family go.

Faced with the option of dying, and also dying the whole family, Dong Zhuo could only choose another one anyway.

Dong Zhuo said tiredly: "After I die, the princes of the world will not let go of the Dong family." If Zhijie is willing to protect my Dong family, the old man can offer his head and hands, and make Li Dao, Guo Yan and others surrender to you. ”

Li Hao couldn't cry or laugh when he heard this, there was excitement in it, and more helplessness.

The plan can never catch up with the changes, and he has made so many preparations for the power of the Xiliang Army, but he didn't expect that he would get it in this way in the end.

Regarding Dong Zhuo's proposal, it must be false to say that Li Hao is not moved.

It's just that once he chooses to inherit Dong Zhuo's power, it means that he will replace Dong Zhuo to complete this magnificent drama and become the primary goal of the princes of the world.

As for whether the princes of the world will directly withdraw from the army, Li Hao has never thought about this question.

This war, which seems to be launched for the restoration of the young emperor, is actually a feast for the family to divide the power of the world.

Although Dong Zhuo is not here, the princes of the world have spent so much energy and dispatched so many men and horses, seeing that they are about to reap the fruits of victory, how can they spit out the meat when it reaches their mouths.

As for excuses, simply not too many.

As long as they use the slogan of cleaning up Dong Zhuo's remnants, they can continue to wage war in a beautiful way.

Li Hao was silent for a long time, and finally chose to accept Dong Zhuo's entrustment.

Although agreeing to Dong Zhuo's request meant stepping forward in advance, he even went directly to the opposite side of the princes in the world, disrupting the previous plan with Zhang Ning. But this also means that Li Hao can be stable and receive the complete Xiliang army.

A complete Xiliang army, the value of which is enough for Li Hao to take a risk.

Li Hao said in a condensed voice: "I can protect the lives of the Dong family, but I can't guarantee their future glory and wealth." If they have the ability, they can immediately take the fame and judge the world in the palace. If they don't have the ability, then let them be rich. ”

Dong Zhuo's eyes lit up instantly, if Li Hao didn't hesitate to take care of everything, he would have to consider whether to change the way for the Dong family. But now although Li Hao agreed to the general request, he also gave room for negotiation, and Dong Zhuo put his mind at ease.

"Haha, okay, the phrase "Zhijie" is enough." He laughed and said, "Wen You, don't meet the lord yet." ”

Li Ru's eyes were slightly red, and he solemnly bowed to Li Hao and said, "Wen You greets the lord." ”

Li Hao calmly accepted Li Ru's gift, and finally looked at Dong Zhuo, who was full of relief, sighed complicatedly, and said, "Xiliang Army does not live up to me, I should not return to Xiliang." ”

Dong Zhuo bowed slightly, and before Li Hao left, he asked the last question: "Is the abolished emperor in your hands?" ”

Li Hao's footsteps paused slightly, and he replied, "You are too impatient." ”

Dong Zhuo's eyes were slightly closed, and he didn't understand Li Hao's subtext.

He laughed and said, "Yes, it's too urgent, it's too impatient." If it had been a slow picture, it might have been another result. Time is running out, just give the last gift of Zhijie before you die, and I hope you will not disappoint the Dong family. ”

Li Hao walked out of the room, heard Dong Zhuo's last words, and shook his head slightly.

He didn't have the time to pay attention to Dong Zhuo's gift now, there were too many things for him to deal with at the moment, the most important of which was how to take over the power of the Xiliang Army, and the second was how to deal with the Kwantung Alliance, which could be killed at any time.
