Seeing the faint trace of blood at the corner of Dong Zhuo's mouth, Liu Yu felt nauseous.

The blood on the case seemed even more glaring at this moment.

Dong Zhuo had a faint smile on his face from beginning to end. He picked up the wine glass and drank a glass, his expression casual and calm.

Looking at the faint smile on Dong Zhuo's face, Liu Yu secretly admired him in his heart.

Dong Zhuo is indeed a hero of the time. He can be so indifferent even when eating human flesh and drinking human blood. It is no coincidence that he can reach his current position in this era.

Liu Yu turned his gaze to Wang Yun again, only to see that he had no expression on his face, sitting at the desk, as if the things in front of him had nothing to do with him. He was able to be in the court for decades, and he was indeed a ruthless person.

But Liu Yu couldn't bring himself to say it, as his soul, which was unique to later generations, had a natural aversion to this matter.

His mind was spinning rapidly, and he decided to test Dong Zhuo's reaction first, and then take action if Dong Zhuo disagreed.

He pretended to reach out for it, but his hand started to tremble halfway.

"Prime Minister, I feel that eating the flesh of traitors is something that only a great hero can do. I am young and inexperienced, so I really don't dare to do it."

"Don't dare to do it?" Dong Zhuo sneered, "Uncle, are you afraid of this thing?"

"With blood and living flesh, how can I not be afraid?"

Dong Zhuo chuckled.

Liu Yu felt a little relieved when he saw that Dong Zhuo did not press him too hard.

"Everyone praises the Prime Minister for his bravery. I have seen for myself that he is indeed extraordinary. With a hero like the Prime Minister, the Han Dynasty will surely be revived."

As soon as Liu Yu said this.

A group of people echoed from below, "What the emperor's uncle said makes sense. Only a hero like the prime minister can have such courage. How dare we compare ourselves with the prime minister?"

As soon as these words were uttered, the hall was filled with the sound of flattery.

In order to avoid eating human flesh, everyone used flowery words and extremely flattering words.

Just when Liu Yu felt that these words were too corny, he saw that Dong Zhuo actually enjoyed them very much, with a more and more smug smile on his face.

Just when Liu Yu thought that he would escape this disaster after this flattery, a voice sounded in the hall.

"Uncle, you don't have to be so modest. You rescued His Majesty from the hands of the thieves all by yourself. This courage and boldness is enough to be called a hero."

When Liu Yu heard this, his heart, which had just been at ease, suddenly became tense again.

Who is this? Saying I am a hero at this time is more hateful than cursing my ancestors.

Turning around to look at that person, it was the one who had just come in to report to Dong Zhuo.

Liu Yu had seen this man when the emperor was hunting in spring that day. He and Li Ru were standing behind Dong Zhuo.

At that time, Liu Yu guessed that this person might be another strategist under Dong Zhuo, Jia Xu or Jia Wenhe.

Before Liu Yu could ask, Jia Xu smiled and said, "My name is Jia Xu, courtesy name Wenhe, nice to meet the Emperor's uncle."

It was indeed him. No wonder he put himself in a desperate situation as soon as he opened his mouth.

"I have long heard that Jia Gong is resourceful and has many ingenious ideas. Seeing him today, I find that he is indeed extraordinary."

Jia Xu laughed and said, "Compared with the courage of the emperor's uncle in saving your majesty, I am just a nobody."

Liu Yu had no choice but to humbly say, "Saving Your Majesty was a moment of bravery. Now when I think back on it, I am still scared. I don't deserve Lord Jia's praise."

Jia Xu refused to give in.

"Uncle, there is no need to be modest. Saving His Majesty is loyalty, and escaping alone is courage. It is only fitting for a loyal and brave man like you to drink the blood of this traitor."

When Liu Yu saw that Jia Xu was holding on to him tightly, he couldn't help but groan inwardly.

Jia Xu walked forward, picked up the wine cup and walked in front of Liu Yu, saying: "Uncle Huang is a young hero, Xu admires him very much, come, let's drink this cup."

Liu Yu didn't expect Jia Xu to be like this. He still wanted to refuse. He glanced at Dong Zhuo and saw that the smile on his face had disappeared and he was looking at him calmly.

Liu Yu's thoughts raced through his mind.

Dong Zhuo's move was definitely to shock everyone. If he forced himself to drink the cup, although he could deal with Jia Xu, he would certainly be feared by Dong Zhuo.

If Dong Zhuo were to be jealous of him, his life would be put to an end.

Having made up his mind, Liu Yu decided to continue hiding his shortcomings.

His voice trembled slightly as he said, "Mr. Jia, I felt a little retching when I saw this. I really can't drink it. Please forgive me, Mr. Jia."

Jia Xu picked up the wine glass, placed it in Liu Yu's hand, and said with a smile: "Uncle, there is no need to do this. Come and drink this cup."

Liu Yu's hands were shaking, blood was spilling out of the cup and onto his hands. His face was as pale as if covered with a layer of white flour.

Jia Xu looked at Liu Yu with deep eyes, the meaning of which was difficult to understand.

Liu Yu caught a glimpse of Dong Zhuo from the corner of his eye, and saw that he was looking at him with a hint of smile in his eyes.

Liu Yu no longer hesitated, his hand trembled, and the wine glass fell heavily on the low table.

With a crisp sound, blood spilled on the black table, like a gloomy ink painting.

Liu Yu slumped to the ground with a look of fear in his eyes, just like the deer that Dong Zhuo was chasing in the mountains.

Jia Xu looked at Liu Yu, who was terrified, and called softly, "Uncle, are you okay?"

Liu Yu slowly came back to his senses, with a hint of fear in his eyes.

"When I saw this blood, my heart and gall bladder were broken. I really couldn't drink it. It's rude."

Jia Xu squatted down, helped Liu Yu up and said, "Uncle, there is no need to do this."

Liu Yu sat up straight, looked at the smile on Dong Zhuo's face, and bowed, saying, "I was disrespectful at the banquet. Please punish me, Prime Minister."

Dong Zhuo chuckled, his smile containing a hint of sarcasm.

"Yunqi is a contemporary hero and the emperor's uncle. How can we punish him so easily?"

Liu Yu bowed again and said, "Thank you, Prime Minister, for your atonement. Prime Minister, you are so powerful and majestic, and the traitor is in front of me. I am already heartbroken and I dare not sit there any longer. Please, Prime Minister, let me go back first."

Dong Zhuo thought for a moment and felt that Liu Yu had limited courage and would not be able to achieve anything. He said calmly, "Okay, uncle, please go back."

Liu Yu hurriedly saluted, turned around and walked out.

He took a few quick steps, thinking he had finally escaped, and breathed a sigh of relief, but he heard a voice behind him.

"Uncle, take your time."

Liu Yu turned around and saw Jia Xu walking towards him quickly.

Liu Yu was shocked. Could it be that Dong Zhuo changed his mind and asked him to go back?

While Liu Yu was worrying about the outcome, Jia Xu had already arrived in front of Liu Yu.

"Xu, please see the emperor uncle off."

When Liu Yu heard that Jia Xu was coming to see him off, he felt relieved.

"I dare not trouble Lord Jia to see you off."

Jia Xu did not respond, but said directly: "Uncle, please."

After saying this, he walked ahead. Liu Yu saw that he had no choice but to follow him.

The two of them walked out of the Prime Minister's Mansion one after the other without saying a word.

After walking a few dozen steps forward, Jia Xu bowed and said, "Uncle, I will take you here. Please take your time."

"Thank you, Mr. Jia, for seeing me off."

Liu Yu breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that he had finally left the Prime Minister's Mansion. But the next sentence from Jia Xu almost made him choke.

"The emperor's uncle is a hero of the time, why should he hide his incompetence?"

After saying this, he turned and left without waiting for Liu Yu to answer.

Liu Yu stared in a daze as Jia Xu walked into Dong Zhuo's mansion, and a chill inexplicably rose in his heart.

It seems that his performance did not escape Jia Xu's attention, but why didn't he expose himself to Dong Zhuo on the spot?

Liu Yu was a little confused. Facing one of the best strategists of the era, Liu Yu felt like he was standing naked on the street, wanting to cover his vital points but not knowing where to start.

Who said that after traveling through time, one’s wisdom can crush that of the ancients? Come out, I promise not to beat him to death.
