"Your Majesty, Cao Shuo's envoy has been waiting at the station for a long time."

When Li Ru came to Dong Zhuo's residence, seeing Dong Zhuo's pale face, shortness of breath, panting, he felt an inexplicable excitement in his heart for some reason.

Dong Zhuo said weakly: "Cao Shuo agreed to exchange?"

Li Ru replied: "We don't have His Majesty in our hands, they want to replace a few more people."

"Hey, Li Ru, these people are most likely behind the scenes. I really don't want them to leave."

Facing such a group of unshakable enemies, Dong Zhuo wished to eat their flesh and lay bare their skins, but if his Qin State wanted to become orthodox, it must have a jade seal.

Li Ru said: "Your Majesty, although the other party agreed to send the jade seal in advance, the other party wants to use me as a hostage."

Could it be that Cao Shuo already knew that Li Ru's family was the only one left in Chang'an as his close relatives?
Great changes had taken place in Chang'an City, and he immediately closed the four gates, so it was impossible to send out the news.

unless……

Dong Zhuo asked in puzzlement, "Why are you used as a hostage?"

Li Ru said: "Then Deng Zhi said, beside His Majesty, I am the only pillar of the Qin State. Cao Shuo once said that he would agree to exchange me for the jade seal."

Whoa, whoa, whoa!
Dong Zhuo coughed a few times, panted a few times, looked at Li Ru and said, "With you by my side, my foundation can last for decades. Cao Shuo knows your role, how can I not?"

Li Ru said gratefully, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your trust."

Dong Zhuo sighed and said: "Oh, Li Ru, after this incident, I feel that my time is numbered, and only Bai'er is left as my offspring, so what will happen to the Great Qin Dynasty depends on you alone gone."

Li Ru plopped, knelt on the ground, and said firmly: "Your Majesty, I have no such intentions. Your Majesty will rest for a few days and forget about today's events, and then he will recover."

Dong Zhuo stood up slowly, limped in front of Li Ru and helped him up, said: "I can see the other party's purpose, the reason why they spared no effort to assassinate the people around me is to kill me. Inheriting the inheritance, you have to be careful."

"Your Majesty, I understand!"

Li Ru supported Dong Zhuo, and walked slowly outside. Dong Zhuo looked at the night sky and sighed, "I regret it!"

"The luck of the great man has not yet dissipated, I have sent a big gift to the princes!"

Li Ru said: "Your Majesty's dragon body is still strong, maybe among the concubines, someone can conceive a dragon son and continue the bloodline for Your Majesty."

"I'm already powerless, and I need to rest for a while. You should complete the deal with Cao Shuo as soon as possible. In addition, add [-] troops to Hangu Pass. After the deal is completed, no matter what, you must kill these bastards."

"Wei Chen knows what to do."

After Li Ru left, Dong Zhuo looked at his back with a fierce look in his eyes, and then walked quickly into the hall. If Li Ru saw him, he would be surprised. Dong Zhuo's body seemed to be fine.

Dong Zhuo called a guard and said, "Yu Zhen, you have been with me for more than ten years, now is the time to use you."

Yu Zhen said: "Your Majesty once saved my life, and it is my honor to share my worries for His Majesty."

Eighteen years ago, when Dong Zhuo was the governor of Bingzhou, he rescued the six-year-old Yu Zhen and taught him martial arts secretly, in order to let him perform some things that others did not know.

"Go and keep an eye on Li Ru's family and see if they have any unusual behavior."

"promise!"

During the whole incident, Li Ru, his son-in-law, was not harmed at all. The other party seemed to have missed him.

If it is said that Li Ru is the most suspect right now, Dong Zhuo must keep an eye on him to see if he has any abnormal behavior.

Li Ru returned to Deng Zhi's residence, and said eagerly: "Bo Miao, Your Majesty has agreed to the deal, when shall we leave?"

Deng Zhi said: "You can do it anytime. If Mr. Li has nothing important to do, we can leave now."

Li Ru looked at the night outside and said, "Let's do it tomorrow morning."

On the other side, Deng Zhan personally stood guard in front of the carriage, keeping a close eye on Yang Feng's generals. As long as his subordinates withdrew into the mountains, they would have a chance to escape from the Jingzhaoyin area.

As for him, he had already thought of a way out.

Seeing that Deng Zhan's subordinates had all disappeared into the mountains, Yang Feng said: "Your subordinates have all left, did you let our queen mother go?"

Deng Zhan said with a sneer: "If I leave this carriage, I'm afraid you will shoot me to death with random arrows. Let's each go back, otherwise don't blame me for not being able to."

Deng Zhan pointed to the inside of the car with the sword in his hand, Yang Feng was startled and sweated profusely.

"Back up!"

When Deng Zhan entered the edge of the forest, Yang Feng suddenly led the army to rush over.

A smile appeared on the corner of Deng Zhan's mouth, and he shouted loudly: "Master Taiwei, you once told me to kill Dong Mu and Dong Bai, but I really didn't expect that he would not give us a way out. Aim the crossbow at the carriage."

Whoosh whoosh!
A few arrows hit the horses pulling the cart, and the horses were frightened and ran wildly.

"Quick, save people!"

Yang Feng personally went to chase the frightened carriage, regardless of whether Li Ru had anything to do with it, but Dong's mother couldn't die, and it would be hard for him to explain himself if he died.

Yang Feng led the army to chase after less than a cup of tea, and stopped the carriage. Fortunately, Dong's mother was safe.

"Damn thief, chase me!"
