Chapter 110 – Turning Point at Jinyang – Part 1
June 16th. Night Time. Lu Bu Camp.
Zhang Ji, the leader of Dong Zhuo's caravan, snuck inside Lu Bu's camp tonight. He came with another messenger that Li Ru had entrusted into this job, Xu Da.
As a commander of an army, Zhang Ji was skeptical about this sneaking-into-camp plan made by Xu Da. He understood that he was someone that Li Ru had recommended in terms of intelligence and wits, but Zhang Ji still could not trust this man at all.

…
Xu Da was a reincarnator born in Tianshui City. In his previous life, he ravished several women, girls, and children. He always killed all of them after the deed and plundered their properties and belongings.
In this life, after he had realized that he was born into the ancient world, he joined Dong Zhuo Army without hesitation as he believed that he could ride on the tailcoat of this future tyrant and commit the same deeds in his previous life again.
He was not disappointed. Dong Zhuo had a habit of gathering good-looking young women into his harem. He dispatched his soldiers to collect every girl of the families that failed to pay the taxes, which Xu Da participated in the harvest and took a few girls for himself.
However, Dong Zhuo found out later that some the captured women had been soiled and broken by Xu Da beforehand. In anger, he demoted Xu Da back to foot soldier and banned him from getting any promotion in the future ever since.
Fortunately, Li Ru still valued his talent. Later on, Xu Da was transferred under Li Ru's division.
Now, Li Ru made this man accompanying Zhang Ji into this task, which Zhang Ji did not like it at all.
…
”We're here. The rest is up to you.”
Zhang Ji whispered to Xu Da, who did not seem to pay attention to the surrounding and his instruction.
”I knew that, Jeez. Stop being a worrywart. You're not my grandmother.”
Xu Da grumbled and walked straight to Lu Bu's private tent without caring about hiding his identity.
The guard soldiers saw Xu Da coming. They stepped forward with their spears and blocked his path.
”Who goes there!?”
”Identify yourself!”
Xu Da closed his eyes tight in annoyance. He picked his ear using his pinky finger and exclaimed.
”You all bunch of noisy bugs. Look into my eyes!”
Xu Da snapped his eyes opened and glared at the two guards, who stared into the eyes of the intruder by reflex.
”Be my slaves!”
The two guards felt a sharp pain in their brain and stumbled down on the ground from the dizziness. After the pain subsided, a new memory was injected into their mind. They had a feeling that they had to obey the man in front of them.
”… yes, master.”
”… I understand, master.”
Both of them kowtowed on the ground with their forehead hitting the rough floor. The [Eyes of Domination] was at work.
Xu Da harrumphed while he looked down on these people. Then he straddled into the tent.
Upon opening the curtain of the tent to see the interior inside, the sharp blade of a crescent halberd was swung in a half moon circle and went through the neck of Xu Da.
*Shua*
Xu Da's neck flung into the air. It dropped and rolled on the floor of the tent.
Inside the tent, Lu Bu glared at Xu Da's dead body as he emitted out his killing intent.
'Idiot assassin. He can't even hold back his killing intent, and yet he entered my tent through the front. He's just asking for death. Humph!'
Lu Bu had detected Xu Da and Zhang Ji's presence since their arrival. He did not want to bother dealing with the two at first. But noticing that Xu Da looked down on himself and the guards at the front, Lu Bu also could not help but get angry.
Confirmed that Xu Da was deader than dead, he turned around to rest in the tent without caring about the corpse.
”Ow, ow, ow. Dammit, Lu Bu! I've come here to talk, not to fight you! You idiot piece of shit!”
Lu Bu paused his step and turned around in shock. The headless body of Xu Da stood up and walked toward the head on the ground. It picked up the head and put it back on the bloody neck.
”Excuse me for entering your camp without a reservation, but could you look into my eyes for a second?”
”What the fOOk are you!?”
