Inside a mansion in Hongnong County, Zhang Ji, dressed in loose clothes, was drinking.

Next to him, a person dressed as a lady was pouring wine.

The lady was not very old, and looked to be in her twenties. There was a hint of smile on her beautiful face.

He looked at Zhang Ji's face which showed a hint of sadness, and his voice was like the chirping of an oriole, echoing in the room.

"My husband, is there anything bothering you?"

Zhang Ji took a sip of wine and sighed, "Since Prime Minister Dong was killed, those people from Xiliang have been living in fear all day long."

The beautiful lady advised: "But since you are worried here, why don't you take your people back to Xiliang? Living a stable life in Xiliang is much better than living in fear here."

"What do you know as a woman?" Zhang Ji's face was still sad. "Under the current situation, it's difficult to go back safely."

Zhang Ji drank a glass of wine and became drunk.

"I didn't think so before, but after seeing the prosperity of the capital, can you adapt to the remote area of ​​Xiliang, which is cold, dry, and lacks supplies?"

The lady's face was slightly flushed, which made her look even more charming. She also heard that Zhang Ji had no intention of returning to Xiliang.

This is not surprising. As Zhang Ji just said, after seeing the prosperity of the Central Plains, it is inevitable that one will have some resistance to the remote Xiliang.

"What are your plans next, my husband?"

Zhang Ji had been drinking. When he heard his wife's question, he did not answer immediately. He must have thought about this question countless times. In this era, if he wanted to end the days of fear and anxiety, he could only continue to strengthen himself. Only when his strength was strong enough could he be invincible in this era.

Wasn’t Prime Minister Dong like this back then?

Although he was born in Xiliang, he was able to rule Luoyang, depose and enthrone emperors, and hold the reins of the world. What a courage and style he had.

In the eyes of some Xiliang soldiers, Dong Zhuo is like a hero.

"I will stay here and see the situation first. Maybe one day I will have an opportunity to lead the troops to Chang'an and bring the emperor here. What do you think? At that time, won't I have the final say in the world?"

Just as Zhang Ji said just now, the beautiful lady doesn't understand these big things and naturally has little interest in them.

All he cared about was living a stable life.

Just at this moment, a young man in armor walked in from outside the door.

He did not report anything, but walked through the halls and went straight into the inner hall.

When he reached the door of the inner hall, he stopped and bowed.

"Nephew greets uncle and aunt."

The lady smiled and said, "Are there any outsiders here? No need to be polite, just come in quickly."

Upon hearing this, the armored young man walked into the inner hall, bowed again, and then slowly said, "Uncle, the armored soldiers outside the door reported that Jia Xu and Jia Wenhe came to see you."

When Zhang Ji heard these words, his body, which was originally lying on its side, instantly straightened up.

Who? Jia Xu, Jia Wenhe. Zhang Ji was furious when he heard this name. He and Li Jue, Guo Si and others had originally fled back to Xiliang after Dong Zhuo was killed. However, they were fooled by Jia Xu and gave up the idea of ​​returning to Xiliang and began to lead troops to attack Chang'an.

During the attack on Chang'an, everything was going smoothly. When they were about to enter Chang'an, they were tricked by the Luoyang army secretly transferred by Liu Yu. Not only did they fail to occupy Chang'an, but even Li Jue and others were killed in the battle.

If I hadn't realized that the situation was not right and quickly turned the army around, I would probably have become a dead soul at the hands of Liu Yu by now, and there would be no chance that I would be here today, enjoying fine wine and beautiful women.

The most infuriating thing is that not long after Jia Xu was captured by Liu Yu, he actually defected to Liu Yu.

This is what Zhang Ji cannot accept the most. Who is Liu Yu? He is Xiliang's great enemy.

Prime Minister Dong, Li Jue and others all died at his hands, and his hands were stained with the blood of countless people from Xiliang.

"How many people did he bring?" Zhang Ji became alert instantly.

"There is only one old servant around."

"Well, Jia Wenhe, you dare to come here at this time. I think you are an old man who wants to hang himself because you think your life is too long!" Zhang Ji's eyes were filled with murderous intent, "Take him to the lobby and let the executioners stand by on both sides."

"only."

When Jia Xu arrived at the lobby, he saw a scene full of armored soldiers and murderous intent.

The old servant behind Jia Xu saw this situation, his legs went weak. He pulled himself together and whispered to Jia Xu, "Master, this situation may be dangerous. Let's go."

Jia Xu's face remained the same, without any change. He had already arrived in Hongnong County, so even if he wanted to leave now, it would not be possible.

"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing. You don't have to go in. Just wait outside the door."

The old servant was still a little worried, but at this point, he could do nothing about it. He could only quietly remind Jia Xu to be careful.

Jia Xu laughed and walked into the hall. After looking around the room, he asked with a smile, "General Zhang, an old friend is visiting you. You are acting like this. It seems like you don't welcome me."

Zhang Ji snorted coldly. What Jia Xu said about an old friend visiting him was not wrong. When they both served under Dong Zhuo, he had met Jia Xu many times during discussions.

Generally speaking, Jia Xu seldom speaks, but from Li Ru's attitude towards Jia Xu, we can know that this man must have extraordinary insight.

"It's not that I don't welcome you, it's Prime Minister Dong and the dead Xiliang soldiers who don't welcome you. You clearly know that Liu Yu is Xiliang's enemy, why do you still serve this thief?"

Jia Xu laughed loudly, his laughter full of mockery.

"Prime Minister Dong's death was his own fault. He cannot blame anyone else. If he had listened to Wen You's advice, worked hard to govern the country, and made progress, how could he have ended up like this?"

"As for the so-called enemies of Xiliang, that is nonsense. Since Xiliang has embarked on this road of striving for supremacy, it must pay a price for it. Over the years, many Xiliang soldiers have died, but even more people from the Central Plains have died. If you say so, shouldn't Uncle Liu kill all the captured Xiliang soldiers?"

Jia Xu's eloquent speech left Zhang Ji speechless. If it came to eloquence, ten Zhang Jis would not be a match for Jia Xu.

Zhang Ji naturally understood this principle. People often say that when a scholar meets a soldier, he cannot explain his reason clearly. He met a scholar and could not explain his reason clearly. Since he could not explain it clearly, it was easy to deal with and he just stopped talking.

Or switch back to the field you are good at.

"Stop talking nonsense here. Take him down, take him out and chop him off. Avenge Prime Minister Dong and our fellow countrymen who died in Xiliang."

"only."

The executioners on both sides shouted loudly and were about to step forward quickly to drag Jia Xu out of the door to be executed.
