Before leaving, Dong Zhuo went down two steps, but he couldn't help turning his head and glanced at the old man:

"I also hope that the old man will give me a title and where to go. In the future, Dong Zhuo will have a big gift to repay his kindness."

……

"Hmph, what's the harm in letting you kill that Liu Bian?"

"Don't he deserve to die?"

"Could it be that the position of the emperor of the big man should have fallen on his head?"

……

For some reason, Dong Zhuo felt that when Liu Bian was mentioned, the old man's tone seemed extremely disdainful.

Not only disdainful, but even resentful.

……

"As for the name of the old man, if you are really smart, you shouldn't ask me, but you already know it."

"In this world, among today's big men, there are only five fingers who want to kill Liu Bian. And it is even rarer if they are old."

"I asked you to kill him today, so who else am I?"

……

Regarding the old man's words, Dong Zhuo was thoughtful, but did not answer directly.

After a long time, he tentatively continued to ask the old man:

"According to what you mean, in this world... even if that kid Liu Bian dies, it doesn't matter..."

"You... know the whereabouts of the other prince?"

"Prince Xie has been missing for a long time, is he still alive?"

……

In fact, being able to ask such a question, Dong Zhuo already knew all about the identity of the old man in his heart.

At most it's just not confirmed yet.

And the old man nodded.

This made Dong Zhuo feel a little absurd in his heart.

……

"This……"

"I know."

"Speaking of which, Zhuo has a granddaughter who is just Dou Kou now, at her age, and unmarried..."

"I don't know, old man, you..."

……

"Cough cough!"

Facing Dong Zhuo's idea of ​​marrying him as if he was familiar with him, it was very rare that a sullen look appeared on the old man's face.

"This kind of junior thing, why do you ask me!?"

"If I..."

……

The low voice seemed to be complaining about something, until Dong Zhuo left and the night gradually fell, the old man in yellow robe slowly came back from his memory.

I saw him looking at the place where the moon rose in the east with a lonely face, and murmured:

"Since then, the prince will definitely die, which is a great thing for you."

"As for Dong Zhuo..."

……

"Just because he wants to steal the sky for another day?"

"It's just someone else's wedding dress!"

……

Chapter 4 This kind of infamy, are you willing to bear it?

That night, after returning to the palace, Dong Zhuo called his advisor Li Ru overnight, and told him everything he had seen and heard today.

Who is Li Ru?He was one of the very few truly smart people in the late Eastern Han Dynasty.

Through the few conversations between Dong Zhuo and the old man, he analyzed a lot of things for Dong Zhuo.

……

"Xiangguo, if my guess is correct, this old man is not so much helping us wholeheartedly, as he has ulterior motives and wants to use Xiangguo to achieve some goals."

"He asked you to find a way to execute Liu Bian, the emperor who is now under house arrest, which is the best proof of that."

……

Clasping his hands towards Dong Zhuo, Li Ru said cautiously.

……

"Well, there are no cooking cakes that fall in vain this day. Of course, I already knew the truth."

Nodding in the direction of Li Ru, Dong Zhuo's expression was a little dark.

"Wen You, what do you think of the old man's other remarks?"

……

In this way, the two of you said something, and I said something, and soon came to three conclusions.

First, on the point of reading more books, the old man probably did not deceive Dong Zhuo.Especially read more history books... This may mean that Dong Zhuo is now encountering the problem that many people have encountered throughout the ages.

Dong Zhuo is likely to be able to gain experience from them.

Second, the killing of Liu Bian is probably related to what the old man said before, that the world belongs to Liu, but it does not necessarily belong to Liu.

Now that Liu Bian is still alive, it is equivalent to the fact that Liu's children are still alive, and Dong Zhuozhuo's acting in place is Transcendence.

Of course, since there is no reliable evidence for this, it can only be counted as speculation.

Thirdly, in the words of the old man, he once implicitly expressed a point of view——

"With your Dong Zhuo's strength alone, why should you fight against the man's destiny?"

A positive understanding of this sentence means that Dong Zhuo is not worthy of taking the fate of the great man.But if you understand it the other way around...

Does it mean that as long as the world is disrupted and the heroes fight, the days of the great man will be exhausted, the artifact will change hands, and the dynasty will change?

……

You must know that when Qin lost its deer, the whole world pursued it, but it did not say that Chen, Wu, Liu, and Xiang alone could win the world.

The things going forward, although the two of them don't know much about it, should be pretty much the same.

Based on this point, there are many things that can work.

……

"Sigh, if I knew this, I shouldn't have put Liu Bian under house arrest in the palace."

"Even if it's used as a puppet and manipulated secretly, it's better than what it looks like now."

……

To be honest, at this juncture, Dong Zhuo already has some regrets.

If he had known this, then he should have waited for a while, until Liu Bian died in chaos, or even waited until the world was in chaos, and then he would take control of the Central Plains himself, maybe it would be the right way.

At that time, Dong Zhuo can learn from Xiang Yu back then, raise the banner of "revenge for the former lord", and take advantage of the geographical advantage of Xiliang's direct access to Luoyang to take down the entire Central Plains.

It's just a pity that there is no chance to regret it now.

After putting Liu Bian under house arrest for a period of time, that person has completely lost the value of being used, leaving only a simple shell.

As for Dong Zhuo, he could only look to Li Ru for help.

……

"Wenyou, what can you do?"

……

His gaze fell on Li Ru, and Dong Zhuo rubbed the corners of his brows wearily.

Li Ru, on the other hand, didn't speak, and kept bowing his head in deep thought.

The oil lamps in the room burned slowly, and the lights became dim, bright, dim, and bright.

After going back and forth three times, Li Rucai sighed, and then said to Dong Zhuo:

"Xiangguo, there is still a way."

"Rather than saying that the solution is difficult to find, it is better to say that this method needs to bear more things."

"I don't know, are you willing to bear such a crime?"

……

……

……

In this way, a few days passed quickly.

In the past few days, Li Ru has been busy in Luoyang.

As for Zhang Yan, after a few days of recuperation, his body finally recovered.

On this day, he saw that his old injury had healed, so he changed his clothes and went outside the room, intending to see how the current situation was.

Zhao Yun had been taking care of him during the time he was recuperating, but no matter how much he asked Zhao Yun, the other party kept silent about the current situation.
