In the early spring of the third year of Guanghe, Luoyang received a memorial from the Jincheng Chief Historian Han Sui.

The memorial said that the new western commander Beigong Bo had a fierce conflict with Chen Yi, the prefect of Jincheng. The two sides attacked each other at the end of Guanghe. Chen Yi and Beigong Bo died one after another, which caused a riot in the 36 Qiang tribes in Xiliang.

Fortunately, Han Sui came forward to mediate and ordered the Qiang tribes to calm down.

That's the general idea, wait and see.

...

This memorial did not attract excessive attention in Luoyang.

The riots in the Qiang tribe in Xiliang should be followed, as long as the Han family's country is not chaotic.

However, the prefect of Jincheng died and the commander of the Western Region died, which was not a trivial matter after all. Emperor Liu Hong did not care too much this time and generously placed the two official positions on Han Sui. The former famous scholar of Xiliang, Jincheng Changshi, became the most authoritative person in Xiliang overnight, which made many people unable to accept it.

The one who cannot accept this fact the most is Dong Zhuo who is inspecting Hedong.

*******

"Where is Yu'er? Is Yu'er good?"

When Dong Zhuo heard the news of Beigong Bo's death, his head buzzed and immediately became a mess. His body shook a few times and almost fainted. Fortunately, there was a general beside him who was quick-eyed and quick-handed, and stepped forward to support Dong Zhuo.

"Master, please take care of yourself!"

The general was nine feet tall, with a tiger body, a wolf waist, a leopard head and ape arms. His face was pitch-black as if it were a pot bottom, a pair of ring eyes like copper bells, black beards under the jaw, and a straight nose and wide mouth. He stood behind Dong Zhuo, with a nervous expression on his face.

Dong Zhuo shook his head vigorously and pushed away the general.

He grabbed Li Ru's arm and shouted: "Let me tell me quickly, what's wrong with Yu'er? Is there any news about her? Wen Zheng quickly answered."

What is Dong Zhuo's origin? He is a famous hero in the northwest and Kong Wu is powerful.

Li Ru was caught by him and sucked in a cold air, and said with a wry smile: "Father, the imperial court has sent a newspaper, how could he talk about his elder sister?"

"Yes, yes, how could it be... Yu'er is so smart, how could he turn against Chen Yi and cause even more conflicts? Chen Yi is just a scholar without any power. With Yu'er's help, how could Beigong Bo die in battle?"

Dong Zhuo said: "This is impossible, this is absolutely impossible!"

Li Ru glanced at the general behind Dong Zhuo, "Wen Kai, please take care of yourself outside the door. I want to say a few words to my lord."

"Wen Zheng, don't be polite... lord, please feel sorry for your grief, Wen Kai will leave!"

After saying that, the general left the room. He closed the door and then stood down ten steps away from the door.

Li Ru hesitated for a moment, "Father, Ru also thinks that something is strange about this matter. How could Chen Yi be the opponent of his elder sister and his elder brother-in-law? What's more, there is a tiger and wolf general around him, so why would his elder brother-in-law die?"

Dong Zhuo was stunned and said in surprise: "The general of tiger and wolf? Who is it?"

"Father, have you forgotten that A Chou is following his elder sister? When the second sister came last time, she also mentioned to Ru that A Chou was very close to her elder sister... He knew that if anyone was kind to him, he would repay him ten times. After receiving the report from the palace, Ru was wondering, how could A Chou watch his elder brother-in-law be defeated?"

Dong Zhuo suddenly realized, "Yes, Ah Chou is by Yu'er's side."

Although he was not close to this son, Dong Zhuo also knew that his son, who looked like a monster, was not old and had the courage to resist. When Li Ru mentioned Dong Qi, he couldn't help but feel a little confused and uneasy.

"The Confucians believed that this matter must be related to the Korean version."

"Wen Zheng, what do you mean..." Dong Zhuo trembled, and his eyes, which looked like bull's eyes, suddenly appeared murderous intent.

Li Ru nodded and said, "When a young man from Ru went on a study tour, he heard from someone mention Han Sui. This person is quite scheming and extraordinary. He is very prestigious among the 36 Qiang tribes in Xiliang. He is not only respected by the Qiang people, but also praised him very much. If he wanted to use tricks, Ru thought that no matter how smart the eldest sister was, she would not be the opponent of Han Wen's appointment."

Dong Zhuo said angrily: "If it is really a Korean appointment, I will definitely kill you!"

"Father, please stop Thunder's Wrath temporarily. I'm afraid it's not that easy to make a Korean appointment now."

Dong Zhuo said: "Wenzheng, what do you mean?"

"Han Wenyue is now the prefect of Jincheng and the commander of the Western Region. In terms of official positions, he is as big as you; in terms of prestige, his fame in Xiliang may not be smaller than you, but among the Qingliu Party members, you are far inferior to him." After Li Ru said that, he glanced at Dong Zhuo in panic. Seeing that Dong Zhuo did not react much, he continued: "And, if the affairs of the eldest sister are really related to him, I am afraid that Han Sui has already become aware of us. Also, he easily obtained the position of prefect and commander of the prefect this time. Although Jincheng is remote and desolate, no one wants to go there, I am afraid there will be..."

"You mean, Zhang Rang?"

"If it weren't for the Ten Constant Attendants, what kind of virtue would he have to do with Han Wenyue to take on the position of prefect?"

Dong Zhuo gradually calmed down, knelt down and nodded, "I feel the same when Wen Zheng said this."

"Father, your foundation is not stable, so it is not appropriate to turn against the eunuch party such as Zhang Rang at this time. Moreover, this matter must have left the general blank. You think that the Western Commander was fought for by you and the general, but such a thing happened. The general must be very angry and blamed for being ignorant of the ignorant. Your top priority now is to get the understanding of the general and build the eunuch party well... Stable foundation is what you need to consider most now."

Dong Zhuo greatly appreciated Li Ru's words.

"If it weren't for Wen Zheng, Zhuo almost missed the big thing. It's just..."

"If my father believed it, Ru would like to plan for him. A mere Korean agreement... If my elder sister is fine, A Chou will definitely guarantee her to go home. Ru thought that before getting the exact news from my elder sister, it would be the best way to keep the army unmoved."

"Just according to Wen Zheng."

Dong Zhuo and Li Ru planned for a moment and were about to get up when they suddenly heard a riot outside the door.

The two of them looked at each other and couldn't help but feel strange: Who is so brave that they dare to make loud noises outside the door?

"Wen Kai, who is making noise?"

Dong Zhuo and Li Ru pushed open the door and walked out.

I saw a man dressed in a family general shouting loudly at the door: "I am a member of the Dongfu family in Lintao, and I have important things to report."

The general was unmoved, "The lord is discussing important matters, so don't disturb me."

"You get out of here!"

"If you make noise again, don't blame my sword for being ruthless."

At this time, Dong Zhuo came out and listened to the general's words and nodded.

"Wen Kai, let him come."

The general heard this and quickly made way. The general hurried over, held a letter high with both hands, and knelt on one knee under the steps, "Master, if there is something wrong at home, the mistress ordered the villain to report, so he was making noise outside the door, so he asked the master to punish him."

Dong Zhuo frowned and had an unknown sign in his heart.

He glanced at Li Ru, and Li Ru immediately understood, walked down the steps and took the letter from the man.

He turned around and walked up the steps and placed the letter in Dong Zhuo's hand. There was a varnish on the envelope, and there was also a seal from Mrs. Dong.

After hesitating for a moment, Dong Zhuo reached out and picked up the letter.

After opening it and taking a look, his eyes suddenly became straight, his hands trembled, and he even showed an expression of anger and sadness intertwined.

"Father?"

Li Ru found that Dong Zhuo's face was wrong and couldn't help but go forward and scream.

But at this moment, Dong Zhuo shouted: "Really, really, really... it hurts so much!"

A mouthful of blood was spurted out, and Dong Zhuo fell to the ground and fell into a coma. Li Ru immediately shook his hands and feet, "Come, come, come!"

A family member from the mansion ran over and was shocked to see this.

He quickly lifted Dong Zhuo up and sent him to the bedroom. Li Ru shouted loudly, "Hurry up, go and invite the doctor."

The general had already put the general on the ground and put the sword on his neck, "Who are you? How dare you harm your lord?"

"I am not a demon, not a demon..." The general shouted loudly: "I am under the command of the young master, with my surname Dong and his name is E, and my name is Baimo... My name is given by the eldest lady. I am not a demon, please let me go quickly."

"General Wen Kai, but he is a member of the Dongfu family in Lintao."

Li Ru had heard of this name and mentioned it last time when Dong Zhao came.

After all, it was the eldest sister who gave her a name and surname personally, so Li Ru also had some impression. The general was stunned and put away his sword.

"Wen Kai, please protect your father and wait for the doctor to come."

"Here!"

Dong Zhuo was unconscious, and Li Ru naturally became the sender of the order in the mansion. He walked over and bent down to pick up the blood-stained letter, and asked Dong E to stand up again.

His eyes glanced at the letter, and a calm person like Li Ru couldn't help but change his face.

"Sister, is the eldest sister really dead?"

Dong E was still in shock, but when he heard Li Ru's question, he quickly replied respectfully: "Your son-in-law, the young master returned to Lintao from Hanyang County in mid-March and brought it back... The mistress heard that the eldest lady was dead, so she fainted at that time... and then she fell ill and couldn't even get out of the doctor. Seeing that the situation was not good, the fourth lady ordered me to come and deliver the letter."

Li Ru read the letter at a glance.
