The Collection of The End

——AD 187——

Chang'an, the Prefect's Mansion.

After Dong Zhuo followed Jia Xu's plan and deceived the former "supervisor" He Miao back to Luoyang, he was still a little nervous. If Luoyang reacted quickly and immediately sent troops, this battle would not be easy to fight.

However, it was not until the "Diao Chan" who had been instigated to rebel brought the news that the emperor was indeed seriously ill that the relevant "reaction" came belatedly: "The acting supervisor Niu Fu was appointed as the prefect of Chang'an, taking charge of Fufeng affairs."

From this point of view, under the chaotic situation in Luoyang, He Miao finally could not bear the pressure and took the initiative to confess to General He Jin and Queen He Yao that he was not actually "letting his cronies act as agents for Chang'an affairs", but was deceived. fact.

Judging from the fact that this news was still delivered by "Diao Chan", He Yao did not consider the possibility of her subordinates being "incited to rebel" at all, and believed without hesitation that "Dong Zhuo was just against Ping." He was dissatisfied with the rewards after the rebellion, and after defrauding Supervisor He, there was no sign of recruiting and training troops to prepare for the eastward march." Such rhetoric.

Therefore, the He family brothers and sisters, who were busy fighting secretly with the courtiers, the ten permanent attendants, and the governors of the eastern states, had no time to deal with this "fishing over the line" behavior that they felt was relatively unimportant, so they simply gave Niu Fu a seal. The governor of Chang'an ordered him to "guard the northwest gate".

"I'm really looked down upon. I thought a mere prefect could get rid of me." Dong Zhuo, who was wearing a purple robe and a high crown, shook his head and threw this piece of information back on the table.

At the same time, the sound of the Liangzhou Army's drills could be faintly heard in his ears.

Chang'an is a giant city, which means it can accommodate 200,000 troops and a population of more than one million. Changing from supervisor to prefect is just a matter of changing the door bolt of a different shape. As for what can be done immediately after occupation After the Liangzhou Army, Jia Xu, and Li Ru made various suggestions, it took nearly three years to truly recognize Dong Zhuo as the master.

There are still five cities in the world that have a long history and are difficult to completely control. In overall order of size, they are Luoyang, Chang'an, Xiangyang, Xuchang, Chengdu, and Jianye.

This kind of ancient city with a rich history will undoubtedly continue to exist unless a major change occurs, such as being burned down by someone.

In a city of this size, Dong Zhuo's "unparalleled power" has also been greatly expanded.

Others' Wushuang needs to improve through training, schooling, and fighting, but his own only needs to find a big city with a large number of people who are willing to communicate with each other. Could this be a hint that he should conquer the world?

Dong Zhuo was thinking as he walked to the window, freed his mind and tried to listen to some "prophecies".

[The emperor will die, it’s time to travel eastward], very good, it’s you again.

[Wind tomorrow, rain occasionally], you don’t need to know this!

[Pangpang Dong, eat a lot] Damn it, shut up!

[Jiangzuo Plum Grove, admired by the world], it has been three years and there are still people saying this?

[Lu Bu is really unparalleled, Hua Xiong kills thousands of people], huh? What does the second half of this sentence mean?

His mind condensed a little, and those unclear "prophecies" disappeared from Dong Zhuo's ears.

In the past few years, when Niu Fu was the supervisor of Chang'an, Hua Xiong was in charge of city defense and surrounding security. His main responsibility was to eliminate the small number of foreign horse thieves who fled. The number was not large, but over time, there should be a thousand people. , so he realized "unparalleled" because of this?

Because he was an example before him, Dong Zhuo had some inexplicable expectations for people who only realized Wushuang after the age of twenty.

"Come here!" He raised his voice and ordered to the secret guard who was bound to be waiting nearby: "Send the order, and come see Hua Xiong wearing armor and holding a sword!"

After a pause, Dong Zhuo continued: "Go to a few brave people, find Abai and Lingqi, and tell them that my grandfather has something to ask them for help. If you ignore them, don't repeat the urge many times."

Even if "unparalleled" is not used,

Dong Zhuo also vaguely heard the embarrassing sounds of "you go" and "it's your turn".

"Grandpa." "Grandpa."

After a while, two beautiful little girls were led by a servant with shaky legs to the garden where the prefect's mansion was located.

Although it was inappropriate to describe it as "flowering and blooming", Dong Zhuo couldn't think of any other description for the moment.

At this time, the two granddaughters are already ten years old and have their own dressing preferences. Dong Bai, as her name suggests, likes pure white and light pink that is close to white. She especially likes furry skirts and only ties her hair. Black was used for the choice of belt and headband, but Lu Lingqi, who followed her all day long, disdained colors. She chose pure black or dark purple clothes that were easy to move around. Recently, she even hired a blacksmith from the trap camp to dress her. A fine ebony round shield was crafted.

It can be said that such two beautiful little girls are quite eye-catching when they walk on the street. Naturally, they will inevitably be targeted by those who want to steal, want to rob, and those who plan to kidnap and extort. They were spared under the protection of Dong Zhuo's secret guards. Yu Difficulty.

"Grandpa, what's the matter?" After approaching Dong Zhuo, Dong Bai asked in a soft voice, but his eyes were looking for something around him.

"My lord, what I mean is that grandpa, you have eaten too much and need to go out for some exercise." Lu Lingqi was still "translating" casually.

The "princess" she called Dong Bai became "lord" thanks to the unremitting efforts of everyone in Liangzhou. Although it was still strange, it was at least within the acceptable range.

"Well, Hua Xiong seems to have realized some kind of Wushuang. I plan to try out what type it is. I want Abai and Lingqi to watch." Dong Zhuo explained.

The so-called "watching" is just to prevent the "Wushuang" from losing control. After all, no matter what kind of accident occurs, the two of them can easily suppress it.

"Okay - ah woo." Dong Bai responded, walked to the flowers on the roadside, opened his mouth and swallowed a cluster of pink and white flowers that were blooming.

Well... at least now she won't swallow rabbits, sparrows, butterflies, cicadas and other things that can scare people. She just eats flowers. A "princess" always has to be a little weird, right? Dong Zhuo thought with a calm expression.

It would have been great if the original "prophecy" of "giving stars to the sky and flowers to the earth" meant this. Anyway, there would be no stars for her to swallow.

"General Hua Xiong is here!" a guard at the door announced loudly.

"Let him come directly to the garden." Dong Zhuo responded.

————

When Hua Xiong, wearing a black helmet and black armor, came to the garden, he might have thought he had some combat mission, so he deliberately raised his breath to make a mighty gesture, but most of his breath disappeared when he saw Dong Bai.

Oh, currently everyone in the army worships the invincible Lu Bu. In addition to being trapped in the camp, many people also wear black armor to approximate him - well, pure black armor is easier to make than colorful ones.

"I heard that you understood 'Wushuang'." Dong Zhuo asked directly.

"Understanding Wushuang?" Faced with Dong Zhuo's question, Hua Xiong looked at Dong Bai and Lu Lingqi, and then answered with some confusion: "Recently, when my subordinates were patrolling and catching thieves, they didn't notice any difference in their own strength."

"Oh? So...it's not an active or enhanced type of 'unparalleled'." Dong Zhuo pondered.

"Yes..." Although he was not sure why Dong Zhuo was convinced that he had understood Wushuang, if it was true, it could be considered a good thing. Hua Xiong waited with some anticipation.

Lu Bu is truly unparalleled, Hua Xiong can kill a thousand people... Dong Zhuo thought, this sounds like an evaluation of the two of them. There is no doubt that Fengxian is "truly unparalleled", but a thousand people can be killed? Not to boast, Dong Zhuo picked up the "Asura" himself, and it didn't take long to kill a thousand enemy soldiers.

Hmm...could it be "Beheaded by Thousands of People"? Dong Zhuo suddenly came up with an idea. With superior force, he could be killed a thousand times. It was indeed good, but it couldn't be tested. If he made a mistake, a general would be gone.

Dong Zhuo was amused by his imagination and wanted to laugh. He subconsciously looked up at Hua Xiong.

"Zheng——!"

Hua Xiong's whole body suddenly burst into red flames. The flames disappeared in an instant, and in the next moment transformed into a long sword with a red trail, crystal clear and blazing. The moment it appeared, it went straight towards Dong Zhuo's heart. Come stabbing.

"Playing with a flaming weapon in front of me, Dong Zhongying?" Dong Zhuo drew his knife and struck back.

"Lord! Stand behind me!" Lu Lingqi raised her shield and faced him.

"Huh?" Dong Bai found another cluster of white flowers and nibbled on it.

Chi chi chi chi——

Lu Lingqi's illusory city wall extended by the shield blocked nothing, and Dong Zhuo's Asura was also in the air. Only Dong Bai's mouth came out, as if the newly forged weapon was thrown into the pool for quenching. sound.

"Lord..." Hua Xiong covered his heart with his left hand, stretched his right hand forward, and fell to the ground with a distorted face.

"Hmm... I heard that it will be very painful to realize Wushuang after the age of twenty. It seems to be true." Dong Zhuo looked at Hua Xiong who fell to the ground, put away his single sword and commented, then looked at Dong Bai: "Stop playing. , let it out, don’t you see that General Hua seems to be dying?”

"...Okay." Dong Bai puffed up his cheeks, opened his mouth and released the red sword, but it had shrunk by more than half, and the flames on it were all gone. It just slipped back into Hua Xiong's chest like it was running for its life. .

"Tell me, why do you want to assassinate me?" Dong Zhuo took two steps forward and stared at Hua Xiong lying on the ground.

"Here, this 'Red Sword' will fight back on its own when it senses the killing intent against itself. I, my subordinates are also just talented, and I have to know..." Hua Xiong responded as if he was frozen, and tried his best to We must get rid of the blame of "assassinating the lord".

"Huh... It seems that it is really 'killed by a thousand people'," Dong Zhuo shook his head: "You have to teach it how to distinguish between 'killing intention' and 'action', otherwise it will be killed by a halberd one day if it offends the wrong person. Stab to death, I can't save you."

"My subordinates... know it." Hua Xiong responded with difficulty, but he seemed to be better than before.

"Send General Hua back to his residence," Dong Zhuo said to where there was no one around him, "I will prepare a reward to send later."

"Here." Several secret guards appeared in response and carried Hua Xiong onto a soft sedan that had been prepared.

"Hehehe..." Dong Zhuo watched the secret guards carrying Hua Xiong away, and raised his hand to touch the top of Dong Bai's hair: "Sure enough, destiny is mine."

"Hmm..." Dong Bai responded casually while continuing to look for flower clusters.

————

"Hey, what happened to Hua Xiong?" The secret guards met Lu Bu on his way back to Washington. He looked at the weak Hua Xiong and said with a smile.

"I offended Mr. Dong when I awakened Wushuang, and then -" a secret guard responded, then opened and closed his hands, making a "swallow" gesture.

"Hahaha! You deserve it!" Lu Bu didn't ask any questions and rode his horse directly past them.

What? Lord Dong's desire for revenge is so strong? Even a good thing like Awakening Wushuang must be "punished" for being offended? Then if he makes another big mistake in the future, will he be hunted to the ends of the earth?

Hou Cheng and Song Xian looked dull, and Wei Xu had nothing to say.

Naturally, Gao Shun and Zhang Liao didn't react much. Only Hao Meng, who put his helmet back on to cover his face, was thoughtful.
