Reborn in the Three Kingdoms, I stole Liu Bei's uncle

At this time, Liu Yu had just reached the pinnacle of power and had not had time to savor the beauty of power.

Jia Xu understood too well the horror of power. It is no exaggeration to say that when standing at the pinnacle of power, if you have a dream at night, someone will help you realize it the next day.

He is like a demon, constantly satisfying your desires and making your desires grow until you fall into the abyss of power.

At this stage, Liu Yu obviously had not yet realized all of this, so he was modest, prudent and humble.

When he truly understands the taste of unparalleled power, if he can maintain this state, Jia Xu will not hesitate to join Liu Yu's army.

So he is not in a hurry to make a decision, he will wait, waiting for that day to come.

Of course, if Liu Yu put the sword on his neck at this time, he would agree without hesitation. Even hesitating for a moment would be disrespectful to the sword.

For Jia Xu, he only has one life, and he doesn't want to lose his life in such an unclear way.

If Liu Yu forced himself, it would show from another perspective that Liu Yu was a wise leader, and it was completely deliberate. This kind of hypocritical performance that was not from the heart could not last long.

He would flee from here without hesitation at the right time.

While Jia Xu was lost in thought, Li Ru began his main topic.

"Wenhe, I have something to ask of you. Please agree to it."

"Mr. Li, your words are too serious. If Mr. Li gives an order, I will obey it."

Li Ru nodded and smiled, "I am counting the days until I die, but there are two things that worry me. The first is that after this incident has passed, Wenhe will build a tomb for the prime minister no matter what means, even if it is just a cenotaph. He has always longed for the capital, a prosperous place like this, so you should bury him in Chang'an. This will also make his wish come true in the underworld."

Jia Xu hesitated for a moment, nodded and said, "Don't worry, Lord Li, I will definitely get this done."

Li Ru smiled faintly.

"There is one more thing, please agree to it, Wenhe."

"Mr. Li, please feel free to speak."

"If you say so, I'll take it as your consent."

Jia Xu nodded. "I will definitely fulfill Lord Li's orders."

Li Ru smiled and said, "A promise from Wenhe is worth more than a thousand pieces of gold. If that's the case, I'm relieved."

"After I die, send someone to send my body back to Xiliang for burial. This place is full of filth and I don't like it at all."

Jia Xu didn't expect the second thing to be like this. He stood there in a daze for a moment, speechless.

Li Ru continued to smile and said, "Since Wenhe has agreed, you are not allowed to regret it."

Jia Xu's eyes were slightly red. He understood the sadness in Li Ru's words, and he clearly felt like he was making arrangements for his last affairs.

"Why is it so, Lord Li? With Lord Li's talent, he will be highly valued wherever he goes. Why are you so pessimistic?"

There was a smile in Li Ru's eyes.

"How could I not know what Wenhe said? Or as I said just now, if my heart is dead, what good is it even if my body is still alive?"

After that, he picked up a cup of tea and smiled at Jia Xu, "Wenhe, come and drink this cup with me. When the world changes in the future, come to my grave and tell me."

After saying this, without waiting for Jia Xu to raise his glass, he drank a cup of tea by himself.

Jia Xu picked up the teacup, took a sip, and wanted to persuade him again, but he saw that blood was already oozing from Li Ru's ears and nose.

Jia Xu was shocked and hurried forward to support Li Ru.

"Quickly call the medical officer."

"Quickly call the medical officer."

There was a hint of roar in Jia Xu's voice. At this moment, he had completely lost his usual calmness and composure.

"Mr. Li, why do you have to do this..."

Li Ru waved his hands with difficulty, but there was still a smile in his eyes.

"Wen He, please take care of yourself..."

He uttered these words with difficulty, and the expression on Li Ru's face disappeared in an instant.

Li Ru died with a smile still on his face.

But Jia Xu knew what kind of helplessness lay deep inside this smile.

Although he did not agree with Li Ru's desire to die, he understood it very well.

When the dream you have been working hard for is shattered, all your hopes are like the river flowing eastward, and will never return.

This is a kind of helplessness, a kind of sadness, a dead heart, and disillusionment.

Perhaps after Dong Zhuo's death, the ambitious Li Ru had already followed Dong Zhuo.

The only one who stayed was Li Ru, who was bent on revenge. He was simple, violent and desperate.

When this goal was destroyed by Liu Yu, Li Ru had also died.

He was waiting eagerly for the day when he would arrive here.

Jia Xu felt a little regretful, regretting that he shouldn't have come so soon.

If I hadn't rushed to see him, maybe after some time, he would have changed his mind.

Although Jia Xu also thought that these were impossible to happen, he still had a little expectation, or fantasy, in his heart.

Jia Xu held Li Ru's body for a long time and was unwilling to let go. He felt the warmth from Li Ru's body gradually disappearing and finally turning into coldness.

Jia Xu knew that Li Ru and Li Wenyu were really gone.

Although he didn't want to believe it, it happened inevitably.

Tears blurred his eyes, and in a trance, Jia Xu returned to many years ago.

The wind was a little cool that day.

Jia Xu sat in the tavern but didn't drink.

He was drinking tea. In Xiliang, there was not much tea, and the quality was poor and the taste was mostly bitter.

Jia Xu didn't take it seriously. Many years later, when he recalled the tea that day, he felt it was the most delicious tea he had ever tasted in the world.

Even the tea offered to the emperor later could not compare with it.

He clearly remembered that day, when a tall and thin young man walked outside the door with sharp eyes and a bright look.

He walked up to Jia Xu, bowed, and had the same smile on his face as today.

A faint smile makes people feel somewhat friendly.

The seats in the inn were already full, and he saw that he was alone, so he wanted to sit at his own table.

Jia Xu looked at the crowded shop, but didn't care. He gestured to the young man to sit casually.

Jia Xu continued to drink tea.

He didn't drink any wine, but asked for a pot of tea.

The number of people drinking tea in the tavern increased from one to a pair.

Perhaps because they were both drinking tea, the two began to chat idly.

Soon Jia Xu discovered that the young man in front of him was knowledgeable and had extraordinary insights.

After he started studying, he began to travel around and met many talented people. Jia Xu could confidently say that he had not yet met anyone who was as talented as him. This was not arrogance but self-confidence.

He studied poetry and books since he was young, and with his extremely high talent, he soon showed extraordinary strength.

Especially when it comes to on-the-spot decision-making ability, no one can surpass him.

The more the visitor said, the more shocked Jia Xu was. He unexpectedly discovered that no matter in strategy or government affairs, the visitor was not inferior to him.

Jia Xu's expression gradually became solemn. He looked at the man carefully and found that he had an ordinary appearance, without much outstanding features. However, his eyes were very bright.

The two talked from early morning until dark. The man looked up at the sky and then slowly stood up. He had a faint smile on his face and bowed.

"Li Ru, Li Wenyou, you are polite."
