The revival of the Han Dynasty must start with Dong Zhuo

Chapter 180 Volume There are always things that are greater than everything

Walking through the fort with Dong Bai, Liu Xie once again saw many things that he had never seen in the Weiyang Palace.

He couldn't help but feel sad in his heart, but when Liu Xie turned around and saw that Dong Bai also had an inexperienced look and was drooling over the food, he realized that it was not because he hated the rich, but simply because Dong Huang had gone too far.

"never mind……"

After all, Dong Huang was Dong Zhuo's nephew and the only son of the second generation of the Dong family. Even if he lived a more extravagant life, Liu Xie could tolerate it.

Even though he has such a domineering personality, he still needs to be taken back to Chang'an and disciplined.

"Ouch!"

When they were near the women's quarters in the backyard, a roar suddenly came from a cage nearby, scaring Dong Bai half to death. He hid in Liu Xie's arms and pointed at the iron cage, stammering, "Tiger! There really is a tiger!"

Liu Xie looked in the direction Dong Bai pointed, but met two green eyes that seemed to be emitting fluorescent light.

The pair of eyes walked out from the darkness, and the green light in their eyes turned into red, and the hidden body was completely exposed.

It’s really a big insect!
Liu Xie thought that Dong Huang was just bragging to Lu Bu and just took away two tiger skins. He didn't expect that there were actually tigers kept in captivity.

The tiger's tail was two meters long, and its thick tail swung up and down, creating a cyclone at any time, which showed how strong it was.

When it reached the edge of the iron cage, the big beast stood up directly, exposing its body that could not be surrounded by one person, and used its sharp claws to sharpen the edge of the iron cage, making a harsh sound.

Dong Bai couldn't help but squat down and cover his ears, obviously annoyed by the sound.

Liu Xie remained motionless, just staring at the tiger that stood up taller than him, until the tiger realized that the man in front of it was not afraid of it, then it left in disappointment and returned to the darkness.

"Bai, it's okay, let's go."

Liu Xie stretched out his hand to grab Dong Bai, but found that Dong Bai's wrist was as cold as stone.

He was completely stunned and asked stutteringly, "Your Majesty, look, do you think that is a human bone?"

"How is that possible? You must have seen it wrong! How come you can't even tell the difference between human bones, pig bones, and cow bones?"

The subconscious rebuttal made Liu Xie realize that something was wrong...

Just now he saw that the tiger was fat and strong, and the person who raised the tiger had obviously not treated it badly.

But now is a year of great disaster!
Where can we find so many pigs and cows that can withstand the eating of wild beasts?

Liu Xie squatted down, took a look, and then covered Dong Bai's eyes.

"go!"

"Immediately ask Fengxian to bring Dong Huang here! Yes, bring him here!"

Liu Xie went straight to the barracks and ordered all the soldiers to put on armor and take control of the entire fort!

After a while, Lu Bu took the confused Dong Huang to the barracks and made him kneel in front of Liu Xie.

"Fengxian! What are you doing? What are you going to do? Aren't you a descendant of the Duxianghou family?"

Dong Huang hadn't figured out the situation yet and was still asking Lu Bu questions.

"Fengxian, give him two slaps in the face, and stop when he stops making noise."

Without any hesitation, Lu Bu walked straight up to Dong Huang and raised his arms.

"Lu Fengxian!"

Dong Huang was a little panicked when he saw that Lu Bu seemed to be serious about his attack.

"You dare to hit me? Don't forget! You are just the adopted son of the Grand Master! And I am a real member of the Dong family! How dare you hit me???"

Dong Huang raised his finger and pointed at the tip of Liu Xie's nose: "Just because of a son of Duxianghou, you dare to treat me like this? Is your adoptive father the Grand Tutor or Huangfu Song?"

Lu Bu's nose couldn't help but twitch.

He opened his bow left and right, and his hands swung down like thunderbolts: "I am a minister of the Han Dynasty! A minister of the emperor! Even the Grand Master would not let me call him father and son in front of Your Majesty. What are you doing now?"

Emperor?

Dong Huang had an uncertain guess in his mind.

However, he quickly put this horrific speculation behind his mind, thinking that it was absolutely impossible.

But when he caught a glimpse of Dong Bai, who seemed to be frightened, sitting next to Liu Xie, the "son of Duxiang Hou", Dong Huang almost rolled his eyes and fainted!
Being able to sit next to Dong Bai, the Queen of the Han Dynasty, and having no objection from people around her, is there any need to guess about Liu Xie's identity?

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty."

Because Lu Bu hit him too hard, Dong Huang's cheeks were completely swollen, and blood was oozing from between his teeth, making it impossible for him to speak.

But Dong Huang still struggled to crawl towards Liu Xie, and anyone could see that Dong Huang was begging for mercy.

"His Majesty."

Ma Teng, who had just gone to the banquet and had hurried back because of something unexpected, also saluted Liu Xie and advised him: "Your Majesty, don't forget what I said before!"

Now that Liu Xie is enjoying a great victory, he absolutely cannot direct his attack against Dong Huang at this moment!
Once it was aimed at Dong Huang, even if Liu Xie had no intention of targeting Dong Zhuo, it would be interpreted by the world as such.

By then, the originally peaceful court might be plunged into bloody storm again!
Ma Teng's words awakened Liu Xie, who was already extremely angry.

At this time, more and more members of the Dong family were approaching from outside. They obviously couldn't understand why Dong Huang was suddenly captured by Lu Bu, which made them panic.

"Drive them out!"

Every time someone knows what's going to happen, it becomes more dangerous.

Some things, if not weighed, may only weigh 100 kilograms.

But if this matter were put on the scale, I'm afraid even a thousand pounds wouldn't be able to stop it!

Zhang Liao and Zhang Xiu immediately led their soldiers out, holding swords and shields, and drove away these members of the Dong clan.

Liu Xie suppressed his anger at this moment.

"Dong Huang, I don't care if you live a luxurious life and are a little arrogant!"

"I just want to ask you, what's the matter with the human bones in the tiger cage?"

"If you can't give me a satisfactory answer today, don't blame me for not giving face to the Grand Tutor and the Marquis of Hu!"

At this moment, Liu Xie only hoped that Dong Huang could be smarter, and at the same time Liu Xie himself also had some hope in his heart.

He hoped that Dong Huang would say that the human bones in the tiger cage were those of a dead person who had been found.

In this case, although it is still a serious crime, Dong Huang at least has a chance to survive!

Considering Ma Teng’s previous speculation, Liu Xie really wanted to protect Dong Huang.

Dong Huang was indeed guilty of a crime that deserved death! But his death must not cause any disturbance in the court!
But I don’t know if Dong Huang was frightened by his status as the emperor.

Or maybe Dong Huang had never experienced any storms since he was a child and could not stand the torture.

As soon as Liu Xie asked, he spoke out his words like pouring beans -

"The people in the cage are just country folk, none of them are rich or powerful! They have no one to rely on, and no one would know if they died..."

Finished!

It's all over!
Ma Teng, who had just advised Liu Xie to stay calm, now had a gloomy face and wished he could kick Dong Huang to death!

Even the generals and soldiers around him now understood what had happened, and they all glared at Dong Huang with indignant eyes.

Especially Lu Bu and Xu Huang.

Both of them came from poor backgrounds and lost their parents at an early age.

The two of them were the ones that Dong Huang described as “helpless” and “no one would know if they died.”

At this moment, Lu Bu didn't care that Dong Huang was Dong Zhuo's nephew, and kicked Dong Huang hard on the chin.

The blow was extremely fierce, and its force was no less than that of a tiger or leopard. It directly smashed Dong Huang's jaw and made him unable to utter a sound.

Just now.

There was a commotion outside.

It turned out that the Dong clan members who had just been driven out had come back to fight again.

Not only did they fight back, they also armed the private soldiers in the fort and began to attack the soldiers under Zhang Liao and Zhang Xiu with spears and swords.

"Are you going to rebel?"

Although Zhang Liao and Zhang Xiu were both brave enough to fight against ten thousand men, they were in the enemy's home ground after all, so they had to retreat hastily.

A flash of cold light somewhere made Zhang Liao's eyelids jump.

Big yellow crossbow!
The Dong clan members actually took out the large yellow crossbow!

Swords have no eyes. If it hurts you, it's fine. But if it hurts the queen or even the emperor...

Zhang Liao's shouting soon attracted a response. Someone from the Dong clan outside shouted, "Who is going to rebel? You arrested Dong Huang without asking any questions. Do you still have the law?"

"..."

Zhang Liao didn't know what was going on inside, but he knew that since the emperor had not given the order, it would be absolutely impossible for these people to step into the barracks!
"You hold your ground here! I will rush to the side of the big yellow crossbow to prevent it from harming the emperor!"

Zhang Liao had already begun to instruct Zhang Xiu and give him instructions on the battle plan.

"it is good!"

Zhang Xiu gripped his spear tightly, his eyes fixed on the Dong clan members in front of him and the Dong clan's private soldiers behind him. A war was about to break out at any time!
……

……

At this moment, the air outside the barracks seemed to be frozen!

As soon as there is a gust of wind or a cough, the two groups will immediately start fighting each other, without exception!

"Hey!"

At this moment, there was a sudden noise behind Zhang Liao.

The two groups turned around at the same time and saw that it was Weiyang Jun Dong Bai.

Dong Bai's face was still pale at this moment, and his arms hidden in his sleeves were shaking slightly. It was obvious that he had not recovered from the shock just now.

But this did not prevent Dong Bai from appearing in front of the two armies and shouting to the Dong clan members outside: "Are you going to rebel?"

When the Dong family members saw that it was Dong Bai, they looked at each other in confusion, not knowing what to do.

After all, their wealth and status came from Dong Zhuo.

If it weren't for Dong Zhuo, the Lintao Dong family would have been just a poor and impoverished family. How could they have lived in such a luxurious castle and become the most powerful people in Longyou?
It was for this reason that they did not hesitate to engage in a violent confrontation with the imperial soldiers in an attempt to rescue Dong Huang.

But now that Dong Bai has appeared, there is no doubt that they are all confused.

Dong Huang was indeed Dong Zhuo's nephew.

But Dong Bai is Dong Zhuo’s granddaughter!

The Dong family members knew too well how much Dong Zhuo doted on Dong Bai. If they dared to disrespect Dong Bai, how would they be able to gain a foothold in the Dong family in the future?
The elders of the Dong clan also began to order their clansmen to withdraw and let the private soldiers retreat.

The large yellow crossbow that Zhang Liao had always been afraid of was also moved away, which made Zhang Liao and others breathe a sigh of relief.

An elder of the Dong clan came forward to ask Dong Bai. Dong Bai suppressed his physical and mental discomfort and said, "What did my uncle do? Don't the elders know anything about it?"

The elders of the Dong clan also immediately realized that some of the dirty things Dong Huang did in private might have been exposed.

However, the Dong clan elders, who had long been accustomed to being arrogant, obviously did not think that Dong Huang's "mistake" was a big deal.

"Lord Weiyang, it's just a small matter, why are you so angry?"

"Besides, even if we made some mistakes, what can we do? The Grand Master has now been canonized as a Duke, second only to the emperor and above all others! And you, Lord Weiyang, will become the Empress of the Han Dynasty, and our Dong family will suddenly be extremely noble! Even if a few people die, it's not a big deal, right?"

Dong Bai had no good feelings towards these tribesmen.

Now I heard them say these words, pointing at them: "You, you..."

Dong Bai wanted to swear!

However, during the time he spent with Cai Yong and Cai Yan, Dong Bai had already understood what education and cultivation were.

Moreover, she was about to become the Empress of the Han Dynasty. How could the Empress of the Han Dynasty curse in public? Wouldn't that bring shame to her grandfather and even the Han Dynasty?
Countless words were stuck in Dong Bai's throat. He wanted to speak but couldn't, as if his mouth and tongue were blocked by a piece of mud and he couldn't move.

On the other hand, the Dong clan members became even more aggressive.

"That's right! It's just killing a few people! Why should we hurt the harmony of our family because of a few outsiders?"

"Weiyang Jun is too pretentious. She is not even the queen yet but she is already so powerful. I am afraid she will not acknowledge us as her relatives in the future!"

"Yes, there is such a girl. No wonder her father died early. I'm afraid he was angered to death by her..."

Tears were already welling up in Dong Bai's eyes.

But she was so stubborn that she never shed tears. She just looked puzzled as to why these people in the tribe had become what they were today.

pat.

The sound is very faint.

Dong Bai thought that it was his own tears that were finally falling uncontrollably, so he quickly reached out to wipe them away.

But the next moment, a gentle and familiar voice came -

"Bai, step back and let me do it."

In the end, Dong Bai was unable to hide her grievance. She turned around, buried her face in Liu Xie's arms and cried bitterly.

Liu Xie patted her thin but strong back, indicating that everything was fine.

Then, Liu Xie looked up at the Dong clan members again.

Liu Xie had also heard what they had just said.

Originally, he was unwilling to go against these people and the relatives of the Grand Master.

Even for Dong Huang, Liu Xie went against his conscience to find reasons to exonerate him.

But after listening to these people's words, Liu Xie completely relaxed.

Finally, he didn't have to go against his conscience and suffer the pain of finding excuses for these people to exonerate themselves.

Political stability and court order are naturally extremely important to him as an emperor.

But there are always some things in this world that are truly irreplaceable!
"I am the Son of Heaven!"

"For all peoples, the king and father!"

At this moment, even though Liu Xie could still see the shadow of the Dahuang Crossbow, he still gave the order decisively -

"Detain all members of the Dong family! Don't let anyone escape!"
