Dong Zhuo stepped forward and helped Lu Bu up and said gently:

"My son Fengxian, we heard that you have some failures in this battle.

How about it, you're not injured?"

When Lu Bu heard that Dong Zhuo did not hold him accountable, he also asked about his physical condition, he couldn't help but feel a little moved.

He replied loudly:

"Thank you, my father, for your concern!

The child was just a little exhausted and he would be fine after he was recuperating for a while.

This time, Yuan Shu used tricks to harm me, otherwise I would not have been defeated by him.

When the child fights again in the future, he will definitely kill Yuan Shu's head to his father!"

Dong Zhuo nodded, patted Lu Bu on the shoulder and said:

"Of course my son's courage is trustworthy for his father.

But now the coalition forces are in large numbers, so it may not be easy to get them to retreat.

There are still some important government affairs in Luoyang City waiting for my father to go back to deal with.

For your father, I will hand over the Hulao Pass to your hands. You may keep this pass?"

Lu Bu quickly expressed his loyalty:

"Don't worry, sir, my father!

With children here, the eighteen princes should not make any progress!”

The next day, Dong Zhuo left 100,000 defenders to resist the princes of Guandong and led the rest of the troops back to Luoyang.

During Dong Zhuo's departure from Luoyang, his son-in-law Niu Fu was responsible for the garrison of Luoyang City.

Many old ministers loyal to the Han Dynasty were frequently active and wanted to seize control of Luoyang City.

But how could these old ministers with no power to defeat the Xiliang soldiers?

Soon a large number of people were imprisoned by Niu Fu, waiting for Dong Zhuo to come back to deal with it.

Dong Zhuo had nothing to say, and all the court officials who resisted were killed!

For a time, Luoyang was full of people, and another batch of ministers of the loyal and Han Dynasty were harvested.

Luoyang City, Prime Minister's Mansion.

Dong Zhuo rarely stayed in the palace and held a family dinner at home.

In addition to Dong Zhuo, there were only Dong Zhuo's old mother and Dong Bai.

Even son-in-law like Li Ru and Niu Fu were not invited.

Dong Zhuo's mother was so happy that she couldn't help laughing. Since she came to Luoyang, she has rarely enjoyed this kind of affection between children and grandchildren.

Dong Zhuo picked up a bite of the dish for Dong Bai and said kindly:

“This is your favorite jade Yellow River carp.

I specially asked the chef of Zuixianlou to make it, would you please try it?"

Dong Bai took a bite and said with satisfaction:

"Thank you grandpa! The taste is still so delicious."

Immediately, she seemed to have thought of something and said with a little depressed expression:

"It's a pity that he can't eat such a delicious dish now."

Dong Zhuo asked Dong Bai gently:

"A Bai, what you said is Yuan Shu, right?"

Dong Bai didn't expect that Dong Zhuo knew that Mr. Lu was Yuan Shu and said in surprise:

"Grandpa, you..."

The cruel Dong Zhuo rarely showed a warm side and said softly:

"Silly child, can there be something grandpa doesn't know about what happened in Luoyang City?"

Dong Bai asked strangely:

"Since you know everything, why didn't I stop him when I let him out of the city?"

Dong Zhuo asked with a smile:

"If I really go to stop him and kill him in the city, will you hate Grandpa?"

Dong Bai thought for a moment, shook his head and said:

"I have no idea……"

Dong Zhuo gently stroked his granddaughter's little head:

"So, for my baby Abai, I will not stop him.

But if you want to come today, my grandfather can't stop him.

You don’t know yet. Yuan Shu defeated Lu Bu, the strongest under his grandfather, by his own strength, outside Hulao Pass."

Dong Bai was stunned when he heard this.

Is Yuan Shu so capable of fighting?

She had known for a long time that Yuan Shu had very high military power, and it was as easy to deal with those evil servants in Luoyang City as if they were hitting young children.

But I didn't expect that he was so outrageously skilled in martial arts.

According to my grandfather, Lu Bu is an invincible peerless general in the world.

Now that Yuan Shu defeated him, wouldn’t this title of No. 1 in the world belong to Yuan Shu?

Dong Zhuo continued to say to Dong Bai:

"A Bai, if I betrothed you to Yuan Shu, would you be willing?"

Betrothed to Yuan Shu?

How come grandpa’s topics are more exciting than the other today?

Dong Bai's pretty face turned red, and he had never thought about the issue of getting married.

She never thought she could marry Yuan Shu.

Although she was a little confused about Yuan Shu, it should be impossible for both parties to marry from Dong Zhuo and Yuan Shu's sharp camp position.

Now that Dong Zhuo suddenly proposed to marry Yuan Shu, Dong Bai was still a little uncomfortable.

Her voice was like a mosquito and flies, and she said:

"Grandpa, I'm still young, so I won't consider the major issues of marriage for the time being..."

The conversation between the two was heard by Dong's mother sitting next to her.

Dong Zhuo's mother is nearly 90 years old and looks very kind.

She is also very precious to Dong Bai, the great-granddaughter.

She smiled lovingly:

"A Bai is not young anymore. When his grandmother was as old as you, she had already married.

I wonder whose young man is so lucky to be liked by our Ah Bai?"

Dong Zhuo slowed down his speech and explained to Dong’s mother:

"Mother, I want to betroth Abai to Yuan Shu, the Marquis of Shenwei.

This person is the legitimate son of the Yuan family of the fourth generation and three dukes. He has a noble status and a handsome appearance.

I think he is very compatible with our Abai.

The most important thing is that Ah Bai likes it!”

After hearing this, Dong's mother nodded with satisfaction:

"It sounds like a good guy, suitable for us Abai.

But our Dong family is not a great family. Can we get to the Yuan family?”

Dong Zhuo said proudly:

"Mom, now my son is the prime minister of the Han Dynasty.

It can be said that it is below one person and above ten thousand people.

Even the emperor obeyed his son's advice!

No matter who Ah Bai married, he would be considered a marriage!

There is absolutely no reason why our Dong family is competing!”
