”Lord …” ”Lord …” Lv Bu could no longer control himself, and suddenly rushed forward like a madman, with a ”plop” sound, he knelt on the ground, picked up Ding Yuan's head and started wailing. The mournful wails echoed endlessly in the vast Mang Shan.
Dong Zhuo's expression was lonely, as he silently looked at Lv Bu who was in extreme pain, and his eyes slowly revealed a trace of deep sorrow. Maybe one day, I would also think that Ding Yuan's head would be chopped off like someone else. At that time, who would hold my head and sit on the ground and cry while crying?
”Never! My head must not be cut off! We must not let them cut us down! ” Dong Zhuo was shocked, a killing intent immediately rose from his chest. I'm the only one who kills others in this world, no one is allowed to kill me! If anyone dares to even touch a single hair on my head, I will slaughter their entire clan! ”
Song Xian, Hou Cheng, Wei Xu and the others followed Lv Bu and knelt on the ground, crying sorrowfully. Their foreheads were pressed against the cold ground, barely able to support their tottering bodies.
”Alright, stop crying.” Seeing so many people crying for Ding Yuan, Dong Zhuo also felt a little sad. ”He walked forward and helped the pale-faced Lv Bu up. Now that you have surrendered to me, you will be my men. From now on, the Zhanzhou cavalry will be under your command, you immediately gather all the Zhanzhou cavalry s and set up camp, bringing them back to the northern troop. ”
”Yes sir!” Since he had already surrendered, Lv Bu could only resign himself to fate. Fortunately his brothers were still together, he hesitated for a moment before clasping his hands together and bowing towards Dong Zhuo, then said to Song Xian, Hou Cheng, Wei Xu and the rest: ”Let's go!”
Looking at the backs of Lv Bu, Song Xian, Hou Cheng, Wei Xu and the rest, Dong Zhuo turned his head and said to Li Ru, Li Que, Hua Xiong, Xu Rong and the others who were behind him: ”This Lv Bu is truly a loyal man! I like it, he's a man indeed! ”
”Lord Sikong, because he is a man, we cannot not be wary of him …” Of course, Li Ru could also tell that and his subordinates were just forces that couldn't be ignored. They might even hurt him. Lord Sikong, Zhanzhou cavalry was actually a powerful master that was on par with our West Cold Cavalry … ”
”Li Que, bring your team to follow Lv Bu to gather the scattered Union State troops. Also, station their living quarters beside yours, so that I can keep an eye on these Zhanzhou cavalry s in case of any accidents.” Dong Zhuo would not easily believe a soldier's words, he then pointed to Li Su: You and Lv Bu are both from Union State, stay with Lv Bu for the next two days. If he wants to follow us, he can have the money, or the woman, or my red rabbit horse. If he doesn't want to, then kill him, so as not to leave any trouble behind. ”
”Lord Sikong, I have a plan that can make Lv Bu sincerely seek refuge in Lord Sikong.” Li Ru laughed sinisterly, his eyes blinking as he said, ”Tomorrow morning, let the soldiers spread the news that Lv Bu killed Ding Yuan and gave his head to the Lord Sikong. After that, the Lord Sikong bestowed him another official position. Other than following Lord Sikong, who else would dare to take him? ”
In the morning, Master Tutor Yuan Zhong was still presided over by Sikong Dong Zhuo due to his illness. The ministers whispered to each other, discussing the battle cries outside the North Gate last night, one by one guessing, who exactly was Ding Yuan fighting with, stationed outside the North Gate?
Dong Zhuo suddenly walked forward and stood in the middle of the hall, facing the officials and officials, and said loudly: ”Today, the Son of Heaven is impotent and incompetent, pampered evil officials, causing chaos in the Luoyang, and social unrest. How can a Sovereign King like him flatter the ancestors and become the master of the world? Today, I want to follow the example of Yi Yin and Huo Guang and depose the Son of Heaven, and change King Chen Liu to emperor.
Everyone in the hall was stunned silent as they stared at Dong Zhuo, at a loss for words. To them, this was simply too shocking, so much so that they did not dare to even think about it. Emperor, what a sacred word, can it be so casually abandoned?
Just then, ten fully armed Xiliang soldier s led by Li Ru suddenly rushed in. The soldiers lined up on both sides of the hall, eyeing the scene like tigers stalking their prey. The atmosphere in the Gardner Hall was so tense that it was suffocating. At the same time, Niu Fu led a few hundred Steel Cavalry and surrounded the Gardner Hall, while Hu Zhen brought a thousand Steel Cavalry to surround the palace so that not even a drop of water could pass through.
Dong Zhuo paced back and forth in the great hall with his hands behind his back. He was not in a hurry, he was only looking coldly at the ministers in the great hall, as if he was looking at his captive. After a very long time, he slowly asked, ”Do you all agree?”
The hall remained silent, dead silent. Some of them were angry, some were frightened, some were at a loss, some were calm and some had a face full of indifference, but facing the aggressive and murderous Dong Zhuo, no one said a word …
However, Dong Zhuo did not have the patience to do so. He angrily waved his hand and said: ”In the past, when Huo Guang set a plan to depose us, Tian Yan Nian wielded the longsword and killed everyone who was against him. Today, I will do the same, whoever dares to oppose this plan shall be killed. ”
The ministers remained silent.
