Since Duan Cheng's death, Dong Zhuo has lost one of his biggest supports in the court, not only him, but almost all the Liangzhou people who served as high-ranking generals in all counties of the state seemed to have lost their support for a while.

In this society, the scholars who have no roots above are living extremely difficult, let alone the Liangzhou warriors.

And judging from the current situation, Yuan Kui doesn't seem to have any intention of promoting Dong Zhuo quickly, Yuan Situ seems to be quite wary of this 'five-surnamed slave' in his heart, and wants to talk about it after a careful investigation.

Dong Zhuo didn't have time for Yuan Kui to conduct a character research on him, and his character couldn't withstand the investigation.

He's almost fifty years old, who knows how many more springs and autumns he has? How can he compare with those young men in their twenties and thirties, he can't afford to survive.

That's why Dong Zhuo is so anxious, so anxious that he even dreams of Jin Yan building a nest and has to be rigidly linked to his career, so anxious that Liu Jian comes from the east to send a letter, and he will also connect him with Jin Yan.

Dong Yuanjun really wanted to be promoted, and he was stunned.

And now, when he saw the letter written by Lu Qian to him about an appointment to play together, his mind was even more alive.

If Lao Tzu doesn't point to the old puppet of the Yuan family, he is destined to be unable to be two thousand stones?

Bah! Your surname Yuan looks down on the old man, and the old man doesn't look down on you!

Duan Cheng is dead, and the Liangzhou martial arts are leaderless, so doesn't the old man have a chance to replace Duan Cheng's position?

In this world, everything depends on whether you want to fight or not!

"Hehe, Lu Fujun's letter to the old man said that you were the one who found out about the recent situation of Tanshi Huai?" Dong Zhuo looked at Liu Jian with a smile.

Liu Jian replied angrily: "Exactly." ”

"Okay, you can tell the old man the details."

Liu Jian did not delay, so he made a general report to Dong Zhuo about the matter.

Of course, Liu Jian didn't give it in vain, there were still some braggadocio ingredients added to it, and it was difficult for Rao is Dong Zhuo to distinguish the truth from the fake for a while.

After finishing speaking, Liu Jian began to secretly observe Dong Zhuo's expression.

He didn't look anywhere else, just looked at Dong Zhuo's eyes.

Dong Zhuo's face was expressionless at this moment, and after hearing the news, he was not particularly interested.

It's just that for some reason, he's been fiddling with the slip in his hand, like a cat playing with a hairball, it's obviously a boring thing, but it's just not enough, and I don't know where that slip will make him so interested.

But Liu Jian could vaguely see the hidden excitement in Dong Zhuo's eyes.

A person's expression may lie, but the eye never will.

People can deliberately hide their facial expressions and body movements, but it is difficult for anyone to change the state of their eyes.

In this way, Liu Jian probably has a spectrum in his heart.

He could conclude that Dong Zhuo was intended, but he still had some scruples.

Don't be in a hurry, guide slowly.

"This matter is very important, if the old man thinks about it carefully, you go back to Lu Gong and ask him to wait for the news of the old man."

In the end, Dong Zhuo came to such a conclusion.

Hehe, test me? Mere trifle!

Liu Jian smiled very calmly: "Uncle Fang is at his own convenience, then let the last official leave." ”

With that, he bowed to Dong Zhuo and turned around to leave.

Liu Jian counted in his heart in a low voice as he walked.

"Three numbers, who calls who grandson...... One, two, three! ”

"Let's go slowly!"

Dong Zhuo's voice came from behind Liu Jian.

Liu Jian stopped, raised his eyebrows slightly, and smiled at the corner of his mouth.

"What else does Uncle Fang command?"

Dong Zhuo threw the slip on the table, got up and looked Liu Jian up and down, and said strangely: "You also said that your family prince asked you to come here, which is very important, and now the old man has not given you an accurate answer, so if you go back like this, are you not afraid that your family will blame you?" ”

Liu Jian was quite calm: "Blaming is also a helpless thing, and I can't, besides, the family teacher once said that although Dong Gong is a hero in the world, he is subject to the powerful men of Luoyang, and many things are involuntarily self-controlled. ”

"Tutor?"

Dong Zhuo looked at him suspiciously: "Who are you learning from?" ”

"The son of the teacher is a god, and he is now the secretary of the book."

"Huh?"

When he said a word, Dong Zhuo's face suddenly changed.

But then, an idea popped into his head that excited him.

Lu Zhi's apprentice, who came here as a messenger, could it be that Jin Yan pointed to ...... Is it really him?

There is no such coincidence in the world, it must be him!

That is, in an instant, Dong Zhuo's expression changed suddenly.

"Oops! It turned out to be a disciple of Shangshu and a student of the Gui Mountain! Why didn't you say it earlier! Why didn't you say it earlier? Sit down! Sit! ”

Liu Jian was not polite, immediately thanked Uncle Fang, and sat down on Dong Zhuo's side.

Dong Zhuo rubbed his hands and stared at Liu Jian in front of him with bright eyes, extremely excited.

If he said that he was still a little hesitant about whether Liu Jian was 'Jin Yan', he was a little hesitant, and now he believed it ninety percent of the time.

If nothing else, just because he is a disciple of Lu Zhi who is respected by people at home!

Baume & Mercier, who is very appealing in this era, even if he is as stubborn as Dong Zhuo, he has to look a little ahead.

"Virtuous nephew, what the old man said in his right place, Xiangxier, don't go to your heart, after all, the old man has a history of assassination in a state, and there are a lot of things to scruple about, this is a big event of crusading against Xianbei, to be honest, the old man also wants to deal with it, but it's just ......"

Liu Jian secretly said in his heart that Dong Zhuo is really talking about people and talking nonsense...... Is this a special 'virtuous nephew'?

He took Dong Zhuo's words: "It's just that Uncle Fang has scruples, for fear of offending important people in the DPRK, and from then on, the official road will be blocked, and he will never find a chance to rise to the two thousand stones, right?" ”

For people like Dong Zhuo, there is no need to beat around the bush, just speak out!

Xiliang people don't want to play that set of imaginary, they just like to go straight and go straight to the point.

No one wants to take a step forward more than Dong Zhuo!

Beside Dong Zhuo, Dong Min roared angrily: "Ignorant child, Hugh is crazy!" ”

"Hey! Don't be noisy! ”

Dong Zhuo waved his hand at Dong Min and motioned for him not to say more.

"Haha, my nephew is young, how can he know my heart?"

Liu Jianxin said: What have you done in history, you don't know in your own heart, I'm clear!

It's not hard to guess what you're thinking about a fierce person like you! Isn't it just your own business, what else can there be?

"Back to Uncle Fang, the last official is young, how can he know Uncle Fang's thoughts, these words were all casually mentioned in the letters exchanged between the family teacher and me before."

Dong Zhuo was shocked when he heard this.

"Is this true?"

"If what the last official said is not true, then dare to ask Uncle Fang, such a matter involving the high-level of the court, except for the teacher, who can analyze it? Does Uncle Fang think I can? ”

Dong Zhuo began to ponder in his heart.

Yes, if Lu Zhi hadn't taught him, where would this kid go to inquire about a certain family at a young age? It must be what his master and apprentice say in tandem on weekdays!

In this way, Lu Lao'er is quite concerned about Dong someone! Hahahaha!

Dong Zhuo has always had a long-cherished wish in his heart for many years, that is, to be recognized and integrated into the Kwantung Shi community, although this wish is almost impossible, but he has always buried this idea deep in his heart.

"Well, if Lu Shangshu can analyze the current situation of the old man, then there must be a way to solve the impasse faced by the old man?"

Liu Jian made a salute and said: "The teacher is a scholar of heaven and man, deeply versed in ancient and modern affairs, and has his own unique opinions, but he is just ......."

"Just what?"

"It's just that Dong Zhuo's teacher has no intersection, and he suddenly talked deeply, I'm afraid that Uncle Fang has doubts."

Dong Zhuo laughed, patted the table and said boldly: "Virtuous nephew, the old man is not a self-contained person, to be honest, the old man has also admired Lu Shangshu for a long time, and he only hates not having a chance to visit!" If Lu Shangshu has any thoughts about the old man, you can say that it doesn't matter! The old man will never be jealous! ”

"Okay, so I'll talk about it a little bit?"

"Nephew, try to speak!"

Liu Jian cleared his throat and said: "Uncle Fang, in fact, you can also understand that my family Lu Fujun and the county guards are not for personal gain, but for the country, and Taiwei Wen Rao Gong, Mentor Lu Gong and other Qingliu scholars in the court are all dedicated to the country, and this time they will inevitably go to war, and now that the court has lost Duan Gong, Your Majesty will also firmly fight in order to prevent the family from becoming big!" If Your Majesty makes any changes, how can those eunuchs oppose it? In my opinion, whether Uncle Fang agrees or not, this matter is bound to be done! ”

Dong Zhuo touched his beard and was silent.

"It's just that now in terms of the pros and cons of the court, only the princess of the clan is unwilling to make a big change, because the situation is favorable to them at this time, dare to ask Uncle Fang, if you are on Yuan Situ's side at this time, how will the Qingliushi people in the court view you? At the beginning, Cai Bo was exiled to Wuyuan County, and there were many people who assassinated him, if it were not for the protection of Dong Gong, I was afraid that Cai Zhonglang would have died in Jiuquan, in fact, this matter has made the court clear, and Fang Bo's opinion has changed slightly, and now if you follow the Yuan family's will, if you can't do it, I'm afraid that Your Majesty will not hate the Yuan family, but will hate you...... After all, it's much better to hate you than to hate Yuan. ”

"Hahahaha~~!" Dong Zhuo laughed heartily: "Say it clearly! Go on! ”

"Moreover, how can a great husband who was born between heaven and earth be depressed and live under the people for a long time? Uncle Fang has been in the position of this assassin for six years, so he must have some enlightenment, right? If you don't take this step today, Uncle Fang is destined to be a finch in a cage, and he will always be trapped by others, but if he takes this step, once it is done, Uncle Fang will be a goshawk soaring in the sky. ”

When Dong Zhuo heard this, he was stunned.

After a while, Fang heard him mutter: "Jin Yan, you are really the old man's Jin Yan." ”

"What?" Liu Jian frowned.

"Virtuous nephew, do you have a swallow's nest on the eaves of your house? Where did you build it? ”

"Huh?"

Faced with Dong Zhuo's strange inquiry, Liu Jian didn't react for a while.

After a while, Fang listened to him and replied embarrassedly: "Uncle Fang, I really haven't paid attention to this." ”

"Alas!" Dong Zhuo sighed regretfully, and then continued:

"Good! Liu Deran, the old man remembers you! Good! Sure enough, it's a hero out of a teenager! Lu Shangshu's protégé is indeed not bad, you go back and tell your family Lu Taishou, if you want to go out of the fortress and annex the prefecture and counties, there will be no objection! The old man will play with him at that time! Everyone prepares swords and soldiers to fight a decisive battle with Waihu! ”

When Liu Jian heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

Dong Zhuo has a bad reputation and is ruthless in doing things, but in his heart, he is indeed an understanding person, and he is also a master who dares to do things, and he is still relatively resolute in doing things.

"So, thank you Uncle Fang, the last official will take his leave."

"I'll not send it far, let's go back to Zhuojun for a business!"

……

When he was young, after Liu Jian left, Dong Min hurriedly asked Dong Zhuo: "Brother, how did you respond to him so easily?" This is no small matter! ”

Dong Zhuo sighed and said with emotion: "This kid, when it comes to the old man's heart...... The eldest husband was born between heaven and earth, how can he be depressed and live under the people for a long time? ”

"At this moment, even if the old man stands in line with the Yuan family, they look down on the old man more and more, and feel that they have completely pinched the old man, but if the old man and the people in Youzhou jointly admonish and urge the Son of Heaven to raise troops to go out of the fortress, what kind of reaction do you say the Yuan family will have to the old man?"

Dong Min opened his mouth and said, "Doesn't Yuan Kui have to hate his brother to death?" ”

"No!"

Dong Zhuo waved his hand and said: "Yuan Kui Lao'er is not an ordinary person, if this expedition can be successful, the person he hates is definitely not the old man, but himself!" ”

He will feel that he has lost his eyes in the past, so at the critical moment, he let the Son of Heaven and the Qingliu use the old man to do something! Delay his big event! ”

Dong Min patted his forehead suddenly: "I understand, what my brother means, if this is the case, in the future, then Yuan Kui's old thief will not only not deliberately restrict and humiliate his brother, but will be kind to his brother to show his kindness and pull his brother back to his camp again?" ”

"Hahahaha, third brother, you are finally transparent!"

……

……

About two hours later, Liu Jian walked out of the Thorn History Mansion and met with Liu, Guan, Zhang, Jian Yong and others who were waiting outside.

"Brother Xian, how is it?"

Liu Bei was waiting outside in a hurry, and after seeing Liu Jian, his heart seemed to let go.

"Eight or nine is not far from ten, as I thought, Duan Cheng is dead, the Liangzhou martial arts are leaderless, Dong Zhuo, as an important figure in the Liangzhou martial arts, has worked in the position of the assassin of this state for two terms, and he has long been itching, and the family Gaomen in the capital can't trap him!"

Liu Bei breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, and then he hurriedly asked: "But you stayed in his mansion for two whole hours, so what did Dong Zhuo talk about?" ”

Liu Jian roughly explained: "Dong Zhuo just asked me how I deduced that Tanshi Huai was seriously ill at first, and later asked about my origin, position, and who I studied from...... However, when he heard that I was studying under Lu Jun, his face immediately changed again, and he was given a seat and invited to eat fruits, but he was also quite polite and virtuous. ”

Zhang Fei hurriedly said when he heard this: "Isn't it that Dong Zhuo also fell in love with his brother's outstanding appearance, and has the intention of recruiting his brother?" But the elder brother is now the former official of Lu Fujun. ”

Liu Jian shook his head: "Don't worry, I don't even count Lu Fujun's former officials, so where can I have anything to do with Dong Zhuo?" Besides, he is a martial artist in Liangzhou, how can I enter his disciples, in my life, I only have the title of Lu Shi's protégé. ”

Speaking of this, Liu Jian recalled: "But if you think about it carefully, he does have a faint intention to solicit, and for some reason, he also asked if there was a swallow's nest on the eaves of our house." ”

Liu Bei was puzzled: "Dong Zhuo asked what the eaves of our house are doing?" He doesn't have an eaves? ”

Jian Yong said with a smile on the side: "I don't know, maybe the people of Liangzhou live in tents, and they have never seen the eaves when they came to the Central Plains." ”

Liu Jian smiled when he heard this.

"Who knows, no matter him, anyway, this mission is completed, if there is no accident, the thing will be done! This is a great opportunity for us to make contributions, and only by playing a majestic role in this war will our future road be more wide! ”

Zhang Fei grinned and said: "Isn't it just killing, it's not like I haven't killed after following my brother!" Nothing to speak of. ”

Liu Jian turned his head to look at Guan Yu: "But before returning to Zhuo County to prepare, we still have to help Changsheng with a wish." ”

Guan Yu arched his hand and said: "Brother Liu, since you all have a great future, you can't afford to go to this troubled water with Guan Mou, if you delay you, Guan Mou will be uneasy for the rest of his life!" ”

When the words fell, I saw that Liu Jian, Liu Bei, Zhang Fei, and Jian Yong had already gone to lead the horse together.

Liu Jian turned his head to Guan Yu Zhengse and said: "Immortality, if you move, you will think about etiquette, and if you do it, you will think about righteousness, not for profit, not for righteous guilt!" The four of us are like-minded with you, so why should you worry too much? ”

"Doing is what you think ......"

Guan Yu muttered a sentence, and then arched his hand: "Okay!" In this case, Yu will no longer be a woman! From now on, Yu is willing to make an oath of life and death with Brother Liu and all of you, and when things are done in the township, Guan Yu's life is Brother Liu's! Brother Liu wants to take it, just use it at any time! ”

Liu Jian laughed happily: "I don't want to live forever, I just want to live well with you, and work with our brothers to make a profit, and live and die!" ”
