"Lu Bu, the last thing you should do is come here alone!" Seeing Lu Bu being surrounded, Dong Chenglang laughed and shouted to the soldiers: "Kill the traitors!"

Dong Cheng's private soldiers were all elite soldiers from the Xiliang army in the past. They naturally knew who Lü Bu was and his prestige, but so what, they were just one person. Their allegiance was to Dong Cheng.

Following Dong Cheng's order, in an instant, swords and guns were raised simultaneously, stabbing Lu Bu and Dian Wei.

Lu Bu sighed, grabbed a spear, and drew it with his backhand.

"Woo~"

The air in the entire room seemed to be chaotic at this moment. The barrel of the spear that Lu Bu had taken away broke, but four soldiers flew out and knocked them down as if they had been hit by a giant hammer.

Dian Wei shook his head. He was armed. He took off two iron halberds and rounded them to protect him behind Lu Bu. The two iron halberds were powerful and heavy, like a meat grinder, killing the approaching enemy troops. His limbs were broken and his arms were flying around, but no one could get close.

Lu Bu threw away the broken gun shaft in his hand. This kind of weapon for ordinary soldiers was as awkward to use now as holding a chicken feather.

He raised his toes, and a shield fell into his hand. With his backhand, he smashed a charging soldier and his weapon into pieces.

It feels good!

Lu Bu held another shield in his hand and swung his arms out. It was as if a hurricane had rolled up out of thin air in the hall. The soldiers rushing towards him only felt the strong wind on their faces, as if they were automatically raising their heads.

Bang~

There was a muffled sound, the head shell shattered, and the body flew out and was knocked down and killed.

Lu Bu's eyes sharpened and he no longer stayed behind. The two shields brought a whirlwind towards the private soldiers. For a moment, he saw blood splattering in the hall, and his head and shell were shattered one by one with regular muffled sounds. Lu Bu was like a demon. He walked out slowly with two shields in hand. Wherever he passed, there was not a whole corpse.

All the private soldiers around him were killed in just a moment. The remaining ones retreated in fear and looked at Lu Bu in horror. How could they be human?

"Today is my daughter's wedding day. I don't want to see blood. It's not impossible to deal with this matter tomorrow, but..." Lu Bu threw away his shield casually, stepped on the corpse and came to Dong Cheng, who was already standing frozen on the spot: "I am really upset. , you also instigated Na Jiping to assassinate, so I came to see you off personally. "

The corners of Dong Cheng's mouth were trembling, and cold sweat had covered his forehead. The words begging for mercy were on his lips, but facing Lu Bu's calm gaze, he couldn't say a single word.

"Don't worry, you are still considered the head of the state, and I won't kill you today, but..." Lu Bu looked at Niu Fu and Li Meng, sighed and said, "Do you two have any last words?"

As for people like Wang Zifu and Wu Shuo, Lu Bu didn't even bother to look at them.

"Too...Too Lieutenant, the general will eventually realize his mistake!" Niu Fu knelt down with a pop, looked at Lu Bu and said: "I was in trouble in the past, I hope Marquis Wen will spare my life."

"Bu also thinks about it." Lu Bu came to Niu Fu, touched his head and said, "You have committed such a huge crime, and I can spare you even if you remember the love I had in the past, but what you did today is the only thing I can do." It’s an unforgivable mistake!”

"I……"

"Pfft~"

The hand that landed on Niu Fu's head suddenly exerted force. Niu Fu's cervical spine was directly broken by Lu Bu's palm. His eyes widened and he fell softly beside Lu Bu's legs, making no sound again.

When Li Meng saw this, he knew he was going to die. He sighed and threw away the weapon in his hand. Facing Lu Bu like this, resistance was in vain. He could only say to Lu Bu: "I know that the death penalty is unpardonable. I still have an old mother and wife at home. My lord." If you remember the friendship of the past, let the last general die in battle for our lord."

Dian Wei: "?"

Why did you die fighting for your lord? Dian Wei couldn't react for a moment, but he saw that Li Meng had already stood up and rushed towards the recently confused prince suit. The prince suit was holding a long sword and was a little at a loss. He saw that Li Meng had already rushed forward to greet him with his chest. Towards the edge of the sword, the prince wanted to sheath the sword, but Li Meng grabbed it with both hands, and then stabbed him in the chest, piercing his chest with the sword.

The prince's clothes were stunned as he watched this scene.

Oh, this means dying in battle for the Lord?

Dian Wei looked amazed, and he probably understood why Li Meng made this request. He was dead, but if Lu Bu relented, he could be regarded as dying in battle for Lu Bu, at least his wife and children would not be harmed.

"Lieutenant, I'm here..." Wu Shuo looked at this scene, gritted his teeth, and wanted to rush to the prince's uniform.

Prince suit: "..."

"Get out!" Dian Wei slapped the person's head with his backhand and dislodged him.

Why did Li Meng say that he was one of the first people in the Xiliang army to be loyal to Lu Bu, and he still had some feelings for him. Who is this guy?

Dian Wei's slap was so powerful that Wu Shuo's neck was directly dislocated, and he fell to the ground like a landed fish. After twisting for a long time, he ran out of breath.

Seeing this, Wu Zilan, Zhou Yu, and Wang Zifu knew that they were no longer lucky. They all waved their weapons and rushed towards Lu Bu, but Dian Wei rewarded him with a halberd.

The dark clouds that obscured the moonlight gradually dispersed. Under the moonlight, Dong Cheng's mansion was already like a purgatory on earth. Dian Wei stood behind Lu Bu holding two halberds. A silent sense of oppression filled the surrounding area.

Dong Cheng knelt down weakly in front of Lu Bu. He wanted to beg for mercy, but it was obviously useless to beg for mercy at this time. His only hope was Liu Xie.

"Man, don't be greedy!" Lu Bu's depressed mood eased a lot, and he looked at Dong Cheng and shook his head.

The word "Don't be greedy" sounds simple, but in the face of interests, who can really do it?

"Let's go, father-in-law." Lu Bu walked away. Dian Wei looked at Dong Cheng and said, "Is it possible that I will carry you on my back?"

Facing Dian Wei, Dong Cheng could only stand up tremblingly, silently followed Lu Bu, and left the purgatory-like mansion. Xu Rong and the imperial army had already come to greet him outside the door. Everyone who had escaped from the mansion was there. Now, seeing Lu Bu, Xu Rong stepped in and saluted: "My lord, all those who tried to mobilize the imperial army have been captured."

"Yes." Lu Bu nodded: "Send Dong Cheng to the Ministry of Punishment and to Weiyang Palace tomorrow. In addition..."

After a moment of pause, Lu Bu said: "Prince Fu, Wu Shuo, Niu Fu, Wu Zilan and others conspired to rebel. They have been executed and their property confiscated. Their families were sent to the Ministry of Punishment to wait for the Ministry of Punishment to verify their crimes and then deal with them according to law. General Li Meng is here." The prince surrendered and returned his body to his family."

After all, they are also old subordinates. After this incident, the only veteran generals in the Xiliang army in the past are Duan Yan, Hua Xiong, and Zhang Ji. They are already dead, and their family members, Lu Bu does not want to continue to pursue them.

"Here!" Xu Rong nodded, and someone stepped forward to take Dong Cheng down and send him to the Criminal Department.

Lu Bu had actually noticed this rebellion a long time ago. In the original plan, Lu Bu didn't even take action. It was just that he was depressed today and Ji Ping was sent to kill him, which made Lu Bu feel an unknown fire in his heart, so he came in person. When it comes to Dong Mansion, if it weren't for this, this matter would not cause any trouble in Chang'an.

There was no words all night, and early the next morning, the Ministry of Punishment sent Dong Cheng to the court, while Lu Bu took Liu Bei to the court.

"Xuande, since you are here, the imperial court will naturally reserve a place for you. However, many things may be different from Xuzhou. After taking office, you should get used to it as soon as possible." Lu Bu told Liu Bei as he led him towards Weiyang Palace. He said that he was going to let Liu Bei take the position of Governor Feng Yi first to see his ability.

Although he was the leader of a state in the past, the people's livelihood in Guanzhong is different from that in Guandong, and many rules have also changed. It is just right to use Liu Bei to test whether officials from Guandong can take office directly after they come over.

"Thank you, Lieutenant, for the suggestion." Liu Bei said respectfully.

"It's nothing to mention. There is indeed a shortage of officials at the county level in the court now. It's just the right time for you to come. Guanzhong is different from Guandong. People's livelihood is the main focus here. After Xuande takes office, he must not govern in the same way as Guandong. "It's better to take a look at the new laws first." Lu Bu shook his head. The governance in Guanzhong is to try to ignore the Guandong system and give power to the government office instead of co-governing the government office and local powerful people like before. Lu Bu is also worried about the situation in Guandong. One set is back.

Liu Bei nodded silently. As for what Guanzhong's plan was, he didn't know yet. He would have to learn more about it later.

However, the most important thing in the court today was obviously not Liu Bei, but Dong Cheng's rebellion last night.

Dong Cheng was the head of the country, so Lu Bu did not kill him and brought him to the court for Liu Xie to deal with.

"Lieutenant, this matter has nothing to do with me. Can I trust you, Taiwei?" Liu Xie really wanted to go up and stab Dong Cheng to death. He finally established a good relationship with Lu Bu, but this group of people did this for themselves. When they saw Lu Bu Come in and tell Lu Bu quickly.

"Of course I believe it." Lu Bu clasped his fists and saluted. It would be of no benefit to Liu Xie to do such a thing. Not to mention that it was impossible to succeed. Even if he succeeded, could Liu Xie control the current situation in the court?

"Your Majesty." Fa Yan stepped forward and saluted Liu Xie: "Although Your Majesty was not the instigator of this matter, Dong Cheng is the head of the country after all. The Taiwei did not take his life out of His Majesty's favor, but the court also Justice should be given to the Taiwei. Dong Cheng has an evil plan and intends to kill an important official of the imperial court. Please punish him."

"Your Majesty, please punish the traitors!" All the officials in the court bowed down one after another.

Zhong Yao, who was standing behind Lu Bu, looked at this scene and felt that it seemed familiar. When Lu Bu first established the court, didn't the courtiers exclude Lu Bu in this way? Unknowingly, as the old ministers were gradually replaced, especially after the implementation of the Six Divisions, there seemed to be few familiar faces in the court. Today's important ministers include Jia Xu, Guo Jia, Xun You, Li Ru, and Fa Yan, but There are no more celebrities of the past.

Perhaps these three positions will be abolished soon...

"Dong Cheng conspired to kill the three princes. His crime cannot be pardoned. He will be executed and his whole family will be searched. The three tribes of barbarians..." When Liu Xie said this, he hesitated: "Dong Guiren..."

Dong Cheng raised his head and looked at Liu Xie pleadingly.

"Your Majesty, Dong Cheng is guilty, but I believe that Dong Guiren has nothing to do with this matter. What's more, Dong Guiren is pregnant and should not be implicated." Lu Bu said, cupping his fists.

Liu Xie nodded gratefully: "Since the Taiwei asked for mercy, Dong Guiren will not be held accountable for this matter, but he will be fined for three years."

Dong Cheng finally breathed a sigh of relief. At least his daughter was not implicated. This situation may have been the best outcome. Before leaving, he bowed silently to Lu Bu and said thank you in a low voice before being dragged away by the imperial guards. Walk……
