Under the fire, the huge imperial palace was almost razed to the ground, making it appear extremely empty.

The real wealth left to the princes, after the fire, there is not much left at all.

……

"What about Xu You, call me over!"

After Yuan Shao woke up, he didn't even bother to hear about the loss. The first thing to do was to punish Xu You. After all, he wasn't the one who took the lead in the charge. Could he, Yuan Shao, be the one who suffered the most losses?

"My lord, Mr. Xu went to the palace to search for treasures. He said that there is a treasure hidden in the palace. When he comes back with the treasure, it won't be too late for the lord to punish him."

Hearing the guard's words, Yuan Shao narrowed his eyes.

Treasure hunt?

I'm afraid it's not that the situation is not good, let's go for a walk~

"Is he alone!"

"Yes! Mr. Xu said that there are too many people, and this treasure is too precious, so he won't let people follow him."

Well, it must have run away!

Yuan Shao was short-tempered: Good Xu You, I'll slip away after the trap is over, okay, I'll destroy your Xu family when I go back!

In fact, Yuan Shao really misunderstood Xu You. Through his unique qi-watching technique, Xu You did discover that there was a seven-colored divine light shooting directly into the sky in the palace.

This level of precious energy can be said to be unprecedented, and it is definitely an unimaginable treasure.

This was also the reason why he rushed into the palace in such a hurry, otherwise, although Jin Shan's words could still attract him, it wouldn't make him lose his mind.

In order to avoid being preempted by others, after the fire was extinguished, when everyone else was running out, he sneaked into the depths of the palace by himself.

The positioning of his qi-watching technique is not very precise, so it can only give him a rough position. As for whether he can find it, half depends on ability and half depends on luck.

He also knew that he would be questioned by Yuan Shao, and only by finding this treasure could he redeem himself.

It is quite rare for a person who regards money as his life to make such a big sacrifice.

Chapter 516

In the Duke's mansion, Ling Xiao sat up from the bed.

The mental strength that was overdrawn before has recovered a lot through this sleep, at least the headache is not as painful as before.

Ling Xiao didn't rush to call everyone to discuss, but turned on the system.

"Ding! The player single-handedly destroyed the Flame of Nothingness, saved the thousand-year-old city of Luoyang, and achieved the epic level achievement task-reversal of the universe, with a merit value of 1 million, a prestige value of [-], and a super lucky draw*[-]."

"Ding! Since the prestige value of existing players has reached [-], the prestige leaderboard has been opened. Please check the details yourself."

【Reputation Ranking】

【1. Ling Xiao——100000】

【2, no】

【3, no】

……

(Note: Requirements for listing: Reputation value reaches [-])

[The leaderboard is updated once a month, and the top ten players on the leaderboard can get a corresponding reward once]

[The specific rewards are as follows:]

[First place: Advanced Lucky Draw*3]

【No.2: Advanced Lucky Draw*2】

【No.3: Advanced Lucky Draw*1】

[No.4: Intermediate Lucky Draw*8]

[No.5: Intermediate Lucky Draw*7]

……

……

[No.9: Intermediate Lucky Draw*3]

[No.10: Intermediate Lucky Draw*2]

He didn't expect that just changing the fate of Luoyang City being burned would achieve an epic achievement.

Obviously, in the judgment of the system, this fire is difficult to extinguish, and will eventually sweep through the entire Luoyang City.

And through the system prompt, Ling Xiao finally figured out what the black flame Li Ru condensed was called.

Flame of nothingness!

You can tell from the name that this thing is very fraudulent, just because it can achieve self-growth by devouring objects, it greatly increases its threat.

From the fact that the system attributed this matter to an epic plot, it can be seen that if no one stops this thing in the early stage, it can continue to evolve until it is completely transformed into a world-destroying flame.

In the previous life, it was because no one stopped him that he let him burn down the entire Luoyang city.

In other words, is this thing really Li Ru's talent?

For some reason, Ling Xiao felt that the perverted power of the Flame of Nothingness should not be possessed by a person who has not even reached the divine state.

Even in the general divine realm, it is impossible to condense such unreasonable flames.

nothingness... nothingness...

Is it?

Ling Xiao thought of a certain possibility, but he was not sure yet. If there is a chance in the future, he must ask in person.

In addition, the opening of the prestige ranking list can be regarded as a surprise.

If Ling Xiao remembers correctly, the first person in his previous life who accumulated his reputation to 1 and opened the reputation leaderboard was the No.[-] player—Ye Ze.

But that is already three years later in the game world, and the whole world has completely entered the era of vassal hegemony, and only in this situation can there be a channel to obtain reputation points.

Prestige value doesn't simply refer to a person's popularity, Ling Xiao doesn't know exactly how it is defined.

But there is one thing, Ling Xiao is very sure, that is, one must form a school of one's own in order to gain prestige.

In other words, if you belong to a certain force, then you don't care what you do, you can only get merit points, and you will never get reputation.

Before the real troubled times started, all forces in the world belonged to the great man in name, which is why the prestige was not worth it in the early stage.

But this time, the system directly gave Ling Xiao [-] reputation points, which was beyond Ling Xiao's surprise.

After all, strictly speaking, Ling Xiao is still a courtier of a big man, and cannot be regarded as a school of his own.

And the prestige value is more important than anything else to those who aim at the world.

The benefits brought by this thing are not only the random draws given by the system every month, but also related to luck.

This may sound abstract. In other words, the higher your reputation, the higher the recognition of you by the world and the will of heaven and earth.

Let's not talk about the recognition of the world. After all, everyone has heard the saying that those who win the hearts of the people win the world.

The main thing is the recognition of the will of heaven and earth. It is more important to one side than all other forces, including the so-called army, food, resources, etc.!

In this world with extraordinary characteristics, being recognized by the will of heaven and earth can make your path to hegemony go more smoothly.

As the saying goes, heaven and earth are of the same power, if one faction's prestige value is far higher than the other's, then when the two parties are hostile, the one with the lower prestige will inevitably be crushed.

Whatever you do will not go well, on the contrary, those with high prestige value will be like God's help in everything you do, it is simply the treatment of the son of heaven and earth.

For specific cases, please refer to the Battle of Upper Valley in Romance of the Three Kingdoms.

Zhuge Liang killed Sima Yi by attacking with fire. At the critical juncture, a sudden heavy rain saved Sima Yi's life.

Without that heavy rain, the entire history of the Three Kingdoms would have been rewritten.

Even a monstrous person like Zhuge Liang would vomit three liters of blood in the face of this situation. This shows how desperate it is to be hostile to someone who is loved by the will of heaven and earth.

Some people say that the Sima family won the world in the end, not because of Sima Yi's cleverness, but because of his hard life, he beat all his opponents to death, so naturally the world is invincible!

Therefore, compared to the [-] prestige points, the extra super lucky draw is not that important, it can only be regarded as icing on the cake.

As for the merit value of [-] million, Ling Xiao can exchange it for another treasure in the treasury.

……

At the same time, Cao Cao, who led his own hundreds of thousands of cavalry to hunt down Dong Zhuo, was quite depressed at the moment.

It's not because of anything else, it's just that there are too many traps encountered along the way, although they are all small tricks, they are not enough to cause casualties to his army.

But the point is disgusting people, which seriously slowed down his marching speed. After a day, he only ran for less than a thousand miles.

This is simply a shame for a cavalry.

The only good news is that he met many refugees who escaped from Dong Zhuo's army along the way. From these people, he got the specific marching route of Dong Zhuo's army, which greatly improved the efficiency of the pursuit, and he did not need to send scouts to search along the road. Traces of the march of the army.

In fact, these traps had nothing to do with Li Ru. In other words, if Li Ru set up traps, it would never be such a joke, just hurting but not killing, that was not Li Ru's character.

These traps were written by Jia Xu, and they were all completed by Jia Xu alone, without anyone participating.

As for why Jia Xu did this, Li Ru was actually tricked by Li Ru.

Otherwise, with his temperament like a salted fish, how could he do such strenuous things.

Because he lost a bet with Li Ru on something before, he agreed to help Li Ru with a small matter, and then set up a trap to prevent the people who were chasing and killing by the coalition forces of the princes to fall on his head.

Of course, according to Li Ru, the army is at your disposal, as long as you can set up a reliable trap for me.

However, such a low-key person like Jia Xu would do such high-profile things.

Without hesitation, he threw back Li Ru's waist card, and at the same time said that for such a trivial matter, I can do it by myself, and there is no need to use the army.

Then, these wonderful traps came out.

Chapter 517

"Stop the army!"

"What's the matter, my lord?"

Seeing Cao Cao raising his hand, Xiahou Dun signaled the army to stop, and rode his horse to Cao Cao.

"You form a vanguard, don't worry about other things, just charge me along this road."

"Yes!"

Although Xiahou Dun had some doubts about Cao Cao's order, he would not refute it. He clasped his fists and saluted, and went to form a vanguard army.

The reason why Cao Cao was like this was naturally that through previous encounters, he was sure that the other party did not set up a big killing trap.

It would be a waste of time to send people to carefully remove the traps every time.

Since they were all just tricks of disgusting people, there was no need to be so cautious.

Sending the vanguard to explore the road is also to speed up the march.

It has to be said that Cao Cao's military strategy is definitely no less than that of a first-class marshal. Through this strategy, coupled with his own commander-in-chief talent, the marching speed of the army doubled.

It's just that those vanguards suffered a lot. Everyone who came all the way was slightly injured. There was no way, this was the price of exploring the way with the flesh.

However, these are minor injuries. For these soldiers who are at least Tier [-], they are not painful or itchy, at most they are a little embarrassing.

After ten days of advancing at full speed, Cao Cao came to Xingyang City, which is the only place to pass from Luoyang to Chang'an, and it is also the barrier of Chang'an.

Therefore, Dong Zhuo stationed heavy troops here just to stop the coalition forces of the princes.

And the defender of Xingyang is Xu Rong, the general who trained the Flying Bear Army for Dong Zhuo.

In Dong Zhuo's camp, Xu Rong didn't look like a mountain, he was not as strong as Hua Xiong in terms of force, and he was not as strong as Guo and Li in terms of leading troops to fight, but he was one of the best military trainers.

And when it comes to small-scale battles between elite soldiers, only Gao Shun, who was trapped in the camp, and Ju Yi, who was in the army first, could wrestle with him. They are considered to be one of the indispensable souls in Dong Zhuo's army.

Li Ru asked him to guard Xingyang, which is the gate of Chang'an, which shows his trust in Xu Rong!

From the perspective of history, Cao Cao's first big defeat since his debut was at the hands of this person.
