Chapter 432: The hero is evil?

It is difficult for Dong Qi to explain what it feels like for Xiahou Lan.

This person is stubborn, and sometimes he is stubborn and disgusting. But sometimes, Dong Qi also admires Xiahou Lan's character.

Although Liu Bian is nominally the leader, in fact, everyone knows that the real person who makes the decision is Dong Qi.

Many people, even Yang Xu, who defected to Liu Bian with Xiahou Lan, bowed to Dong Qi after experiencing many things.

Only Xiahou Lan always stood by Liu Bian's side and tried her best to make Liu Bian the real master of Chang'an.

For this reason, he lost his friends who grew up with him; for this reason, he had no friends in Chang'an; for this reason... he has never gotten married yet. For such a person, you can bother and hate him, but you cannot respect him from the bottom of your heart.

So after Dong Qihui discovered the tricks of the coalition forces, he tried his best to save Xiahou Lan.

It sounds nice to say on his lips, which is to win a chance for Liu Bian. But Dong Qi knew in his heart that he did this because of Xiahou Lan.

No matter what, Dong Qi always hopes that Liu Bian can truly stand up and Xiahou Lan can protect Liu Bian's side.

Compared with Xiahou Lan, although Dong Qi believed that he was Liu Bian's protector, he actually knew that there were selfish thoughts in all kinds of things. Dong Qi was unwilling to admit this, but he had to admit it. Xiahou Lan's loyalty to Liu Bian was not at all distracting.

But now, such a stubborn person is dead!

Dong Qi felt that the wine suddenly became tasteless and sat at the table blankly. After a long sigh, he sighed.

"Can you know, why did he commit suicide?"

At this time, Jia Xu put down his wine glass and waved his hand to signal Fa Zheng and Wang to buy it out.

In the room, only Dong Qi and Jia Xu were left. Jia Xu put a glass of wine for Dong Qi and whispered: "This matter is a long story."

"I hope to hear the details."

Jia Xu nodded, "Since Xiahou Lan's defeat, she has been imprisoned in Duyou Fort... I know that it was not because of the lord's arrangement, but because he came by himself. You know, the emperor did not want to punish Xiahou Lan for his crimes, but Xiahou Lan himself got into the horns and was unable to think too much."

Dong Qiqi said: "How do you say this?"

"When Xiahou Lan was detained in Duyou Fort, I pretended to be a prisoner and talked to him several times. His spirit was always not very good, and his selfishness often felt guilty about the defeat of Yanshi. Originally, I wanted to solve him. But seeing him like that, I was really hesitant... He later told me that his sin was a death sentence, and even if the lord forgives him, he himself could not forgive himself."

Dong Qi couldn't help but frowned and whispered: "He is thinking too much!"

Jia Xu smiled, "It's said that merciful people are not in charge of the army. Xiahou Lan may be okay as a general, but she is too bad for a general. Later, the emperor personally went to Duyou Fort and took Xiahou Lan out... When I saw that he left, he seemed to have already thought about it. But unexpectedly, a few months later... Xiahou Lan suddenly committed suicide. Wang Maiteng looked at his body, and on the surface, there seemed to be no flaws."

Dong Qi has been silent.

But after hearing Jia Xu say this, he suddenly raised his head and looked at Jia Xu in surprise. Because he heard some clues.

"The military advisor means..."

Jia Xu shook his head, "I'm not sure yet. However, the third one once reported a news that when the lord and Luoyang were in a stalemate, the beautiful Yue people once asked the emperor to ask the King of the Great Yuezhi to send troops to Chang'an... However, the emperor refused in a furious manner."

The third one is the code name detailed by the Inspectorate.

Any detailed works that start with the word "Nie" are very secret characters. Even Dong Qi doesn't know it, only Jia Xu controls it.

Dong Qiqi said: "What is this related to Xiahou Lan's death?"

"My lord, don't be anxious, listen to me." Jia Xu took a sip of wine. "Before Xiahou Lan committed suicide, according to a detailed report in his mansion, someone visited him that night. However, the man's whereabouts were strange and could not be traced... He said in detail that Xiahou Lan had a fierce quarrel with that person."

"oh?"

Dong Qi gently rubbed his cheeks, and his hard beard rubbed in his palms like a steel needle, making him calmer.

"As he said in detail, he had vaguely heard that Xiahou Lan mentioned a person's name, but it was not true, and seemed to be related to the Western Regions."

Western Regions...

Dong Qi narrowed his eyes into a line, and his eyebrows were slightly frowned.

On the surface, he seemed to have no reaction. But Jia Xu could still notice that when he mentioned the Western Regions, Dong Qi's body twitched slightly.

"Xiaozhi has sent someone to Han'an and secretly ask Marquis Li to investigate."

The wine glass in Dong Qi's hand was broken with a snap as Jia Xu said.

"Military advisor, please don't speak so sensiblely in the future. Do you know that I almost scared me just now!"

The Western Regions are Dong Qi's base camp. If something goes wrong with the Western Regions, what Dong Qi is most afraid of is that Li Ruhuaxiong and others will also get involved.

Li Ru is his family.

Hua Xiong and Xu Rong are the old subordinate of his father Dong Zhuo, and they are also the person he trusts most.

If even these three people have problems, then Dong Qi might as well kill him. Fortunately, Jia Xu's words finally calmed down.

"Since that's the case, please ask the military advisor to continue to investigate the matter."

Jia Xu nodded, "I have arranged this matter well... but I want to know, if the emperor is involved, what should the lord do you think?"

"You didn't say..."

"Lord, beware of others' hearts!"

Dong Qi closed his eyes, stood up, walked to the prison window, threw it through the small window, and looked out.

The prison window is not big, but the view is very good. But you can see the starry lights in Lanchi Daying from afar and the scenery of undulating mountains. Dong Qi held the fence of the prison window and suddenly asked: "Military advisor, I understand what you mean...but am I really qualified?"

Jia Xu said: "Unqualified!"

Dong Qi trembled, turned his head to look at Jia Xu, sighed and said, "Military advisor, you are so rude."

"In the wine shop outside Lintao City, the lord once said to me, "The only lord in this world... I can only let me be arrogant. I still remember this. Therefore, since I defected to the lord, I have been trembling and only dared to neglect it for one day... However, in my heart, the lord is not a hero or a wise lord. But the lord knows why all people, including me, are willing to follow the lord?"

Dong Qi shook his head, "I don't know."

"Divine!" Jia Xu smiled and said, "Even if he claims to be talented, even Chen Ping and Zhang Liang in the early Han Dynasty may not be bad. However, even the heroic lord, like Emperor Gaozu, was always guarded against Chen Ping and Zhang Liang. However, the lord dared to let Xu go and do things. Even if he was a life or a death in his hands, he never asked about it. I can't help but do this, many people... Gongtai Yuan sighed that the lord has the wisdom to know people and the ability to use people."

"Is that so? I don't think..."

"Haha, maybe the lord didn't notice it. But I believe that everyone, including Gongtai, will feel happy under the lord's command. But this does not mean that lord, you are the hero, a wise lord. On the contrary, you are far from the princes, and even Yuan Shao and Liu Zhang may not be able to compare with. A hero must be cruel and ruthless, but not ruthless."

Dong Qi scratched his head and whispered: "Actually, I think I'm quite cruel."

"The lord is wrong, he is cruel and ruthless, not just to the outside. The lord is cruel and ruthless, inside...haha!"

"I know the kindness of a woman!"

Dong Qi smiled bitterly and took it without waiting for Jia Xu to finish speaking.

The so-called heroic ruler is difficult to determine. But it is necessary to be cruel and ruthless. Emperor Gaozu Liu Bang could say words when Xiang Yu said he wanted to cook his father and get a share of me. When he was chased by Xiang Yu, he could take his wife and children out of the car and run away alone.

Liu Xiuneng watched his brother be killed by Emperor Gengshi, and then he launched an army to rebel.

As for Cao Cao and Liu Bei, one can speak words like brothers and feet, and his wife and children like clothes; the other can also shout "I can only let the people of the world down, not let the people of the world down." Of course, now due to the appearance of Dong Qi, Cao Cao has no chance to say it.

In contrast, Dong Qi is pure and kind, and it is outrageous.

He looked at the view outside the prison window and whispered: "Military advisor, if I were such a person, would you still do your best as you do now?"

Jia Xu smiled but refused to answer.

"I'm going back!"

Dong Qi was a little lonely and turned around and walked out of the prison room. "Let's leave Xiahou Lan's affairs to the military advisor... If it is... you can handle it."

When he said this, Dong Qi's heart seemed to be torn apart.

Jia Xu nodded and said, "There is one more thing... I heard that there is a lack of people in my life, so why don't the lord be filial to go straight?"

Dong Qi was stunned, "Did Xiaozhi do something wrong?"

"No!"

Jia Xu smiled and said, "There are few people who are good at Xiaozhi. He is good at planning and has a lot of calculating. He only stays in this Duyou Castle as a secret probe, which is useless. Moreover, the lord needs to strengthen his control over Bingyou. Xiaozhi should be the best candidate and is competent."

"That's how..."

Dong Qi knew very well what Jia Xu said about the control of the Gentle Land. Relatively speaking, General Fa Zheng was indeed a bit indifferent to the secret agent of the inspector and stayed in Duyou Castle. But after Fa Zheng left, who could take over the inspector?

This person not only needs to be talented, but more importantly, he must be trusted by Dong Qi.

Jia Xu's words just now made Dong Qi feel that no one could believe it. Jiameng Pass is the gateway to Xichuan, and Pang Tong is stranded in Hanzhong and no one can replace him. What's more, he needs Pang Tong to control the Wunan Army for him, which is also a very important reason.

Xu Shu...

He can trust.

But the land of Hanoi is also very important. What's more, Xu Shu is proficient in military affairs and may not be able to take on the work of the Inspectorate.

After pondering for a moment, Dong Qi said, "Military advisor, don't let me worry about it. If anyone chooses it, come and listen."

Jia Xu smiled and said, "The lord can definitely trust the person Xu recommends. It is Xiao Dong Ji, who is the best candidate to take charge of the Inspectorate."

Dong Ji?

Dong Qi was a little confused and looked at Jia Xu in confusion, and then said for a moment: "But six jin is only sixteen."

Yes, Dong Ji is only sixteen years old. Can he take on such an important job and stand the harsh life in the Inspectorate?

Dong Chu is quite suspicious about this...

Jia Xu said: "When the lord was sixteen years old, he was already famous all over the world, and he was in charge of Beigong Wei, and was known to all over the world."

The implication is to say: Since you can do this, why don’t you give your son more trust?

Dong Qi thought for a while, "Since the military advisor said Liujin was OK, then I will let Liujin come to Duyoubaobao and report to the military advisor... However, he is only sixteen years old after all, and sometimes he is young and energetic. Military advisor, please take good care of him and don't get angry at his words."

After saying that, Dong Qi left!

Looking at Dong Qi's back, Jia Xu let out a long sigh as the moment the iron door disappeared when it closed.
Chapter completed!
