No taboos in the world

Chapter 490: Cao Cao kills three wise men with one shot, Zhuge Liang becomes the Prime Minister
The sound of horse hooves rang out on the streets of Chang'an, and the majestic black horses were puffing out white steam.

The high political pressure has made this magnificent city full of tension. People dare not stay on the street for too long. The shops on both sides are open but no one is seen, and the vendors dare not shout loudly.

The three words "like a fishbone stuck in the throat", "like a thorn in the back", and "like sitting on pins and needles" well describe the current situation of the residents in Chang'an City.

call out!
A sharp arrow shot towards him.

Suddenly, the swift arrow stopped suddenly, as if frozen in the air.

Hong Chen looked past the arrows at the rooftops far away on the long street. Several Xiliang soldiers were laughing, some were looking at his horse, and some were looking at his sword.

With a flick of his index finger, the arrow changed direction and pierced through the eyebrows of several Xiliang soldiers like a flying sword.

"Do evil."

He shook his head, squeezed the horse's belly lightly, and continued forward.

The Xiliang soldiers guarding other places rushed over quickly, but could not find any trace of the attackers.

A mansion very close to the imperial palace.

"Ah! You are here, Master!" Cai Yan was very happy, but then she said dejectedly: "I'm sorry, I wanted to take my father away from the court, but he..."

"He doesn't want to?"

Cai Yan nodded, and at the same time felt ashamed for her father.

Hong Chen smiled and rubbed her head: "It's okay."

Cai Yong was not a power-hungry person. He just thought that only by being in the court could he do something for the currently unstable Han Dynasty.

He was a great writer and calligrapher, but also an immature politician.

After entering the door, Cai Yan took him to meet Cai Yong quickly.

"Sir, long time no see."

Cai Yong put down his brush and said with a smile, "It has been a long time indeed. I wonder how you are doing with the Feibai that I taught you earlier?"

"Please give me some advice, sir." Hong Chen rolled up his sleeves and stepped forward.

Soon, Cai Yong nodded with satisfaction, "Not bad, it seems that you practice a lot every day!"

The look in his eyes when he looked at Hong Chen was very pure.

Pure father-in-law looking at son-in-law.

After a while, the three of them went to the stone table outside the house and boiled tea around the stove.

Hong Chen took a sip of something that he didn't know was tea or porridge, put down the bowl without changing his expression, and said calmly: "Sir, the world is not at peace, the political situation has changed, and there is a line between life and death. It's time to go."

Cai Yong's expression changed slightly.

Cai Yan also said worriedly: "Father, let's go."

"Leave?" Cai Yong smiled bitterly, raised his head slightly, tears in his eyes: "In this vast world, where else can I go? The Han Dynasty is in turmoil, and as a citizen of the Han Dynasty, I can't stop the world from falling, so let me fall with it!"

Hong Chen: "You will die."

"Why should I fear death?" Cai Yong said calmly.

"If you die, what will happen to Cai Yan?"

"Won't you take care of her?"

"So you have made up your mind?"

"Not bad!"

Hong Chen sighed and looked at Cai Yan.

Cai Yan raised her lotus-like arm and slashed it diagonally with her knife, and Cai Yong fell down.

Cai Yan curled her lips: "My Lord, I've said it before, my father is an old stubborn man, and he's too obsessed with face, he won't listen to advice." Maybe because she read too many marriage books, she is now much more cheerful and more... open than before.

Soon after, Cai Yong and his collection of books were moved together.

"Are you sure you want to stay?"

"Well, I want to see what happens next, and if possible, I want to record everything."

"You want to be a historian?"

"Of course not. I just thought Father would be curious to know."

Hong Chen nodded and moved his sword. Air swords condensed in the void around Cai Yong and the books. The air swords rotated and the formation started to operate.

With a flash of dazzling sword light, Cai Yong and his collection of books in the formation were sent to the "safe house" prepared in advance.

"Catch me, there's something interesting to watch."

Cai Yan grabbed Hong Chen's clothes, and the two disappeared in a flash.

Imperial City.

Dong Zhuo entered the palace in the emperor's carriage and was attacked just after passing the city gate.

Dong Zhuo shouted: "Where is Lu Bu?!"

At this time, Lu Bu calmly took out the imperial edict he had prepared in advance and shouted, "Fight the enemy in compliance with the imperial edict!"

Dong Zhuo suddenly realized what was happening and cursed Lü Bu: "How dare you, you idiot dog, do such a thing!"

Lu Bu frowned and stabbed him to death with a halberd.

Time and space condensed, and Dong Zhuo's soul left his body.

"What do you think?" Hong Chen asked.

Dong Zhuo stamped his feet in anger: "I regret trusting that fickle servant!!"

Hong Chen smiled and asked many questions like a reporter, such as "How do you evaluate your life?", "Do you regret coming to Beijing?", "What would you do if you had to do it again?"

Dong Zhuo's responses one by one were either expected or beyond expectations.

However, Dong Zhuo certainly had no chance to go to heaven, as he had to rush to the eighteen levels of hell to enjoy himself.

After seeing Dong Zhuo off, Cai Yan stopped writing and said with emotion: "I never thought that Dong Zhuo actually had such strategy and ambition. This is quite different from my previous impression of him as a traitor and a traitor."

"He was once a living person, so his thoughts could not be as straight as a straight line without any fluctuations or turns."

Cai Yan nodded, collected the paper and pen, and asked again: "But why did Lu Bu want to kill Dong Zhuo?"

"Honey trap."

The two went to see Diao Chan.

In front of Diao Chan, Cai Yan did not feel ashamed of herself, but she suddenly lost her confidence.

"She is so beautiful..." Cai Yan stared at Diao Chan's face and murmured softly.

Hong Chen thought it was okay, probably because he had seen too many beauties and fairies, not to mention that he had also seen the two most beautiful women in the prehistoric world.

"Hmm, did I answer a question I asked before?" In his opinion, a girl like Cai Yan, who had a strong literary and artistic nature, was more interesting.

However, as the core of the beauty trap that influenced the course of Han history, Diao Chan is also worthy of respect from a certain perspective.

After Dong Zhuo's death, the Xiliang Group quickly collapsed.

Wang Yun took to the stage.

Wang Yun was killed.

As usual, Hong Chen interviewed this civil official who was responsible for the death of Dong Zhuo and dealt a heavy blow to the Liangzhou warlords.

If Cai Yong had not been sent away in advance, he would have died under the coercion of Wang Yun.

"By the way, Zhenjun always says that we should not interfere in the human world. If you save my father, will it cause you trouble?" Cai Yan asked worriedly.

Hong Chen: "As long as they are not the ones who will have a profound impact on the future, there won't be much trouble."

The consequences of saving Cai Yong are very small. Whether he is alive or dead, it will not have much impact on the overall situation. Moreover, after Hong Chen saves him, he will never appear on the stage of history again. To put it bluntly, it is almost the same as being dead.

The same goes for saving Cai Yan.

But he certainly wouldn't say this directly.

But Cai Yan was very smart and figured it out quickly. However, she did not feel resentful towards Hong Chen, but was only grateful for their encounter at that time.

In the days that followed, Hong Chen traveled between the various states of the Han Dynasty, witnessing wars that were crucial to the future, as well as the rise or fall of heroes and tyrants.

Of course, he also witnessed with his own eyes the tragic casualties and struggles of countless people for survival in this protracted turmoil at the end of the dynasty.

At this time, the gods in heaven rarely came down to earth, and even less often showed up. They also did not want to be contaminated by the calamity aura that was permeating the Southern Continent, even if it was just a small calamity within the human race.

Immersed in the rich atmosphere of worldly life, Hong Chen's golden nature is honed to become brighter under the action of this catalyst.

The Red Dust Sword was also actively absorbing the evil spirit of the mortal world, which caused an inconspicuous red color to appear on the blazing white sword body.

This year.

Li Jue and Guo Si quarreled among themselves, and Emperor Liu Xie of Han fled eastward.

Cao Cao adopted the strategic advice of his adviser Mao Jie that "obey the emperor to command the disobedient, cultivate agriculture, and store military supplies" and welcomed the emperor Liu Xie into Xuchang, officially starting his career as a treacherous hero who "held the emperor hostage to command the princes."

The following year, Yuan Shu proclaimed himself emperor.

A dragon spirit even weaker than the dying red dragon of the Han Dynasty lay in the sky above Shouchun City. It couldn't even condense into dragon horns. Most of its luck came from the imperial seal.

Hong Chen took a glance, then rode towards Wancheng with Cai Yan.

"I wonder if my lady would like to sit at the same table with me tonight?" Cao Cao looked at Zhang Xiu's aunt, Zou, with a smile.

At this time, Hong Chen on the side was laughing so hard that he was bent over, and Cai Yan spat with a red face.

The thief Cao killed three wise men with one shot, killing his eldest son Cao Ang, the captain of the personal army Dian Wei and his nephew Cao Anmin.

After the interview, Cao Ang and Cao Anmin were reincarnated, while Dian Wei stayed and became the first official under Hong Chen.

Hong Chen took out the divine seal: "Xingjun, I have something to trouble you with."

"Oh?" Taibai Jinxing's figure emerged from the divine seal, "Master, just say whatever you want. I will do my best to help you."

"I have taken in an official, but he is still a mortal. Now he only has a soul. I don't know how to train him. Please teach me, Star Lord."

Taibai Jinxing stroked his beard and smiled, "This is easy. The True Lord will send a strong man to take him to the Heavenly Palace. I will take him to the Immortal Pond to shape his body, and then teach him the Heavenly Palace skills. I will temporarily place him in the Xianghuo Lin Palace to practice for a few years, and then I can send him out."

"Thank you, Star Lord."

"Your Majesty, you're welcome."

Hong Chen drew a talisman to summon a strong man to send Dian Wei's soul to heaven.

Another year.

Lu Bu died at Baimen Tower.

"Lü Bu among men, do you regret it?"

Lu Bu looked at his own strangled body in dull dejection, and then watched his head being chopped off and passed around. He remained silent for a long time with an empty look in his eyes.

After a long time, after some communication, Hong Chen called on a strong man to send his soul to heaven.

When Yuan Shu was defeated, Hong Chen asked him a few questions, but he seemed to be crazy.

Sun Ce was assassinated, and before his death he was still concerned about his family business. After his death, he was more free and easy than his father Sun Jian. However, he did not want to go to heaven. He also wanted to reincarnate as a member of the Sun family and continue to conquer the world.

Hong Chen could only hope that after his reincarnation he would not see how Sun Quan added the word "rat" after Jiangdong.

The Battle of Guandu broke out, Cao Cao defeated the larger force with a smaller one, the unification of the north was imminent, Yuan Shao's strength was greatly weakened, and the Yuan family never recovered.

After the war, Hong Chen recited the mantra for the umpteenth time. Cai Yan, who had followed him for many years, learned it and joined him in praying for the souls of the dead.

At this time, Liu Bei still had no foundation, so he went to Jingzhou to seek refuge with Liu Biao.

Jingzhou, Xinye.

"Xuan Ling, you and I hit it off right away, why don't we become sworn brothers?"

"Uh……"

Hong Chen was greatly shocked because he was just passing by here with Cai Yan and wanted to eat something, and happened to meet Liu Bei who had just entered Xinye.

The conversation lasted less than two quarters of an hour.

Although it's a bit helpless, it has to be said that Liu Bei's vision is still very good.

After he politely declined, Liu Bei's eyes turned red.

Hong Chen got goose bumps at what he saw, and quickly took Cai Yan on horseback to get away from this big succubus.

Before leaving, he did not forget to give some encouragement.

"Brother Xuande is a man of both virtue and talent, and he has a kind heart to help the world. The hardships he is facing now are only temporary. I believe you will achieve great things in the future!"

When Yuan Shao died of illness, Hong Chen didn't want to go, but Cai Yan wanted to interview the former overlord among the princes to find out what his current mentality was.

Guo Jia died of illness, and Hong Chen took him in. He thought that this was definitely a gem that could continue to shine by his side in the future.

In the same year, Liu Bei visited Zhuge Liang three times at his cottage and he came out of seclusion.

Hong Chen went to witness it.

Hong Chen was also extremely greedy for Mr. Wolong.

But just like Guan Yu, staying by his side might affect his future in heaven.

If nothing unexpected happens, Zhuge Liang will be granted the title of "Tianshu Shangxiang" after his death and assist the Jade Emperor in governing the three realms in heaven.

With such status and rank, he is much stronger than Hong Chen now.
