Three Kingdoms: I don’t want to fall in love in troubled times

Chapter 153
Just through a few fleeting clips, Xu Jiashu could understand what Chang'an City had become.

On the dark bricks and tiles burned by the fire, the broken limbs were stuck with coagulated blood, and it was difficult to see which part they belonged to.

In the biting wind of early winter, those who survived poured a bucket of hot water on them with expressionless faces, washing away the limbs and tissues, and piled them into the corner with the bloody water and fallen leaves.

Some people couldn't bear the reality of being in hell, so they picked up the broken blades that could be seen everywhere on the ground and stabbed them into the heart, showing a peaceful expression of relief.

Compared with them, numb people are lucky.

Chang'an has become a dead city.

The nobles and the Xiliang army firmly believed that they would wait for reinforcements, but they did not expect that the man they had placed high hopes on had already decided to betray everyone.

Only Ma Teng was chosen to be the survivor. He was easy to control, not very capable, and most importantly, very knowledgeable about current affairs.

As for the others, they were betrayed by Xu Jiashu without exception.

Except for Li Ru, the rest of the Dong family can be classified into the category of "old, weak, women and children". Even the guards of the clan were not many left in the last attack of the Northern Army.

The Dong family in Lintao, Longxi, is no longer a threat.

The scholars were the more miserable party.

Li Wenyou had long been wary of the servants they had raised, and his attack was a ruthless means of eradicating the roots. No matter the outcome, the nobles would have to pay the price in blood.

Wang Yun and Yang Biao were the first to bear the brunt of the disaster and suffered the catastrophe of annihilation. Countless other wealthy families were also wiped out.

And the emperor in Weiyang Palace didn't know this.

After turning black, Xu Jiashu used his "parenting experience" to calm the anxious Liu Xie.

"Your Majesty," his version was, "the traitors of the Dong family wanted to kidnap the emperor, and the Northern Army and all the loyal ministers fought with them for several days, and they all died to serve the country."

As he spoke, the corners of his eyes turned red, he covered his face and cried, but he couldn't bear to continue talking.

In fact, Liu Xie has seen this kind of virtue a lot, and there is no one who doesn't look like a loyal minister and filial son in front of him. But thinking that this Xu Zimao is the person that the emperor would rather leave him than follow him, he has a preconceived impression of him. Liu Xie chose to believe what he said because of his inexplicable affinity towards children.

"It's hard for all the loyal ministers to come from afar to serve the king." The little emperor glanced at the blood stains in the corner with his peripheral vision, swallowed quietly, stood up and left his seat to help Xu Jiashu up and said, "In the future, I will have to rely more on my beloved for state affairs."

"Don't give up!"

After walking out of Weiyang Palace, Xu Jiashu immediately instructed Fa Zheng to lead people to take over the defense of the palace.

With the emperor's approval, the last uncontrollable force of the Forbidden Army has become a thing in the palm of his hand. There is no force that can threaten him within sight of Chang'an City.

At this point, the final recognition process has been completed, and Xu Jiashu has used everyone including Liu Ying.

Except for Jia Xu, no one can accurately know everything he did for the time being, but all this cannot be hidden from smart people - such as Xun You.

There are too many flaws.

Originally, both sides were waiting for Xu Zimao to express his stance. Why did Dong suddenly dare to launch an attack?

Who instigated Ma Teng to rebel? Is it possible for Dong to accept a traitor again in such a short period of time?

Why is Xu Zimaobu never seen, but appears with Ma Teng after the war?
In Xun You's eyes, these pieces of information are no different from the facts, and there is no need for further evidence collection.

"Zimao", he easily acted as if he knew nothing, his expression was numb as if he was overly frightened, and he kept repeating one sentence, "I almost died, almost died."

Unlike others, Xu Zimao had worked with Xun You and knew how powerful he was.Therefore, in order to escape, Xun You must pretend to be crazy and deceive Xu Zimao first. At least he must remove his guard, so that he can easily escape and return to the clan.

"Brother Gongda," Xu Jiashu looked sad and looked into his eyes and asked, "Do you have to behave like this in front of me?"

What responded to him was Xun You's blank eyes.

Xu Jiashu, who was watching from the sidelines, finally couldn't help but sigh, "What are all these?"

Obviously, Xun You was just the first friend he lost after turning into a black man, and he would definitely not be the last one.

Even if the emperor is in charge, he can cover up all the evils to the world, but the people who have truly experienced it cannot be deceived, and these are the people he cherishes the most.

This is a lonely road, and it is also a road Xu Jiashu never thought of taking.

He continued to watch.

[Lu Lingqi left without saying goodbye and headed north towards Bingzhou. Before leaving, she handed all her belongings to Ma Yunluo and asked her to pass them on to you. 】

The scene turned, and Ma Yunluo stood timidly in front of him, holding Lu Lingqi's seal.

"This is what Sister Lu left behind. Do you want to keep it?" She looked at Xu Zimao's gloomy face and wondered whether she should reach out her hand. "And, no matter what, thank you for helping my father."

[[-]. Smiling and holding her in his arms: "Apart from such innocuous words, you should have a way to repay me, right?"]

[[-]. "Throw it away. I don't want to see these things, and I don't want to see you either."]

[[-]. "Keep it, you will take her place."]

【[-]. Free Simulation】

Xu Jiashu covered his head, this man was hopeless.

Destroy it, tired.

Having said that, it did not prevent him from directly choosing option one - what else could he do?
At this point, if you choose one, you can at least improve your favorability, but if you choose another, it will be nothing. If you become a villain, you will do it to the end. It is just a simulation anyway, there is no need to be coy.

Under the surprised gaze of the brown-haired ponytail girl, Xu Zimao reached out and hugged her tightly. Lu Lingqi's seal in his hand fell to the ground and was covered with dust. She no longer had time to pay attention to her original purpose of coming here.
"Hmm~"

Ma Yunluan only had time to exclaim.

[Soon after, you brought Liu Ying and Cai Yan to Chang'an, and by the emperor's decree, you married Princess Wannian. You succeeded the deceased Dong Min as the general of the Hussars, opened the government, and later took the position of Liangzhou Mu and Anding County. In exchange for Ma Chao's support. 】

[With your support, Ma Chao recalled Ma Teng's troops and emptied them out. You promised Ma Teng that he would be able to take control of the government and seize the entire Guanzhong with ease as the Taifu. 】

Taking advantage of the feud between Ma Teng and Ma Chao and Ma Chao's appeal, he simply turned the last potential political opponent into a mascot. This darkened version of himself can be called ruthless.

As long as there is a profit, there is no hesitation in driving a wedge between father and son and betraying friends.
Xu Jiashu no longer wants to make moral criticism. He just wants to know a question - what is the price?

Just looking at the effect, in just a few months, he completed many major events such as cleaning the court, controlling the emperor, occupying Guanzhong and forming an alliance with Xiliang. The speed of time and the huge effect are second to none among all simulations, even It would not be an exaggeration to describe it as "a violent storm sweeping the world."

But he betrayed everything he could, used the trust of Dong Bai and Xun You to reap the benefits, used Liu Ying to gain the trust of the young emperor, used Ma Yunluo to instigate Ma Teng, and then used Ma Chao to oust Ma Teng.
Even from a purely utilitarian point of view, it is difficult to say that this is not squandering the benefits.

　I wanted to take the challenge of writing something spicy, but I was very dissatisfied and deleted half of the chapter.

　　This plot will end soon ==
