125 Chapter 125: Cai Yan

Hua Xiong didn't ask anymore. He knew that the wisdom of these two far surpassed himself, and Li Ru also said the same thing, so naturally he would not be harmed.

"Then I will start burning incense and pray. Since I'm here, it's better not to challenge the emperor's authority. Let's rest. Military division, if you have any needs, please let me know. I will not dare to slight it off." Hua Xiong saw that Li Ru did not speak. So he bowed and withdrew slowly.

"I don't know how you did it, but these people really respect you!" Jia Xu looked at Hua Xiong who was slowly withdrawing, and said with some emotion. Xiliang warrior Dong Zhuo is gone, but these former generals still obey Li Ru's orders.

Li Ru didn't speak, but the corners of his mouth were slightly raised. Although Dong Zhuo disappointed him, each of the Xiliang warriors brought out by him could be regarded as a tiger and wolf general, as well as a man of righteousness. But without his planning this kind of righteousness and ferocity can't last long. After all, their background is too low, and their abilities have been confined by their visions.

"Jia Xu, order someone to find out who gave Dong Zhuo some incense or cried during the funeral. No matter whether it was true or not, after all, Dong Zhuo promoted a lot of people at that time. Anyone who so need to be recorded. "Li Ru turned his head and said to Jia Xu, even though he didn't hold any hope. After all, what Dong Zhuo did when he entered Chang'an was really unpopular, or it was brutal and unkind.

"When I entered Chang'an, I sent someone to find out. After all, I still have some spies in Chang'an. The news had already arrived. There is no one who gave incense and the one who cry during the funeral have been put to jail. He will be put to death soon." Jia Xu said calmly. .

"Have he been jailed? Is it Cai Yong?" Li Ru reacted immediately, "The only one probable is him. Dong Zhuo treated him very well. As a great scholar, only his ethics will let him do this kind of thing. Are there any children in his family to take care of? With his identity, even if he is executed, the emperor will not destroy his whole family. Let Hua Xiong go take a look and move the Cai family away if necessary."

"There is only one daughter left in the family, and she was suppose to marry Wei Zhongdao. But whether it is for spending three years in mourning, or the timing for her to be sent to Hedong Wei's family to be married, neither is suitable." Jia Xu explained the situation to Li Ru. When she got engaged it was basically ten years ago, but now Cai Yan is not suitable for marriage in any way.

"When the time comes, let Hua Xiong move the Cai family away, and give her be a good life! Can you do it?" Li Ru opened his eyes with a gleam shining through them and said, "I know you are good at protecting yourself, but I have not ask you for help before. Dong Zhuo treats you very well, but you have not done anything for him. You don't have to say that Dong Zhuo destroy himself, I have nothing to say regarding that. But now that someone is crying for him, and you have leisure time, you should support the future generations. You, Jia Xu, don't think about dodging this responsibility!"

"Okay, okay. I will let her live a good life, these things are just backhands to me, but Li Ru, you need to remember that I will only provide her with hidden protection. What she chooses to do have nothing to do with me, and I will not interfere with her every move." Jia Xu had no choice but to respond. But he also clarified that he would only give her hidden protection and will not pay attention to her choice.

"Okay." Li Ru closed his eyes, spit out a word from his mouth, and did not continue to force Jia Xu. The fate of Miss Cai's was settled since then. With these two mountains, for one generations there will be no problem.

Ten days later, in the Weiyang Palace, Liu Xie was sitting on the high dragon chair, looking down at the courtier who bowed to him. He looked at Hua Xiong, who was paying tribute with the food he needed most. He was very satisfied. As for the people who know about his past, they are now selectively forgetting about it. There was no need to offend one of the warlords. Not to mention that this warlord is still a Han family clan, who has just defeated the Qingzhou Yellow Turbans.

Hua Xiong's time to show his face was very short. Except for the white porcelain cup that Chen Xi sent again, which shocked the whole court, the others were just more than what Yang Biao from the Yang family and the new warlord Wang Yun could bring. As for Hua Xiong suggestion that the Emperor of Han should move to Taishan. From top to bottom, no one cared. If it weren't for the tributes and Liu Bei's loyalty, these people would have started spraying.

"You looked disappointed?" Jia Xu said with a smile on his face.

"Very disappointed. Is this the Han court?" Hua Xiong said. He was taken as prisoner when he back in Hulao Pass. Later, Hua Xiong was no longer qualified to go to court. Hua Xiong was going to experience it for the first time, but after going there, he was disappointed.

"Haha, just bring the eunuch with you. Chen Xi just wants these official titles. I didn't expect that he would have already won an official title before turning twenty. But it is indeed a great achievement for the Han Dynasty to level a million Yellow Turbans. In this world, in the eyes of the Emperor of Han, if it were not for the Yellow Turbans, he would not have to suffer so much." Jia Xu said with a smile.

The official title of the Han Dynasty are very difficult to obtain. If it weren't for Chen Xi's contribution this time, which was too shocking, there would not be a Guan Neihou title. Of course, it was a sad thing for Chen Xi to not get a Liehou title. It is said that Liu Bei has also been given a Tinghou title. It is true that fighting the Yellow Turbans is what the emeperor likes to see.

"Tomorrow we will set off. The Xiliang army will soon arrive, and the Han room will be shrouded in the shadows again." Jia Xu sighed and said, "The original glory and prosperity is gone. The only thing left is the pain. I don't know who will clean up the mess in the end, and who will the world belong to."

Early next morning, Hua Xiong paid a visit to the Ministry of Ritual, and then detoured out of the city.

"Is this Cai Yong's home?" Hua Xiong looked at a mansion where almost everyone took a detour. The walls and the ground were in a mess.

"Knock on the door!" Li Ru frowned and said. He was inconvenient to move around in Chang'an, but Cai Yong's house became like this. He turned his head and glared at Jia Xu, only to see Jia Xu looking indifferently out the window.

"Dang Dang!" Hua Xiong jumped off his horse, ignoring the mess around him, reached out and knock on the door directly .

It took a long time before a young girl in a plain white mourning clothes open the front door. She look out the door, and whisper, "Unfortunately only the female of Cai family are left. I can't invite you in without permission. Please don't take offense."

"Hua Xiong, help me get out of the carriage." Li Ru leaned forward and said.

"Make a square formation, be on guard, and block the whole street." Hua Xiong said unceremoniously. Hua Xiong didn't understand why Li Ru was risking his way out of the carriage here.

Hua Xiong helped Li Ru out of the carriage, then let go of Li Ru. He saw Li Ru walk to the gate of Cai family house while dissipating the temperament that he had been in a high position for many years and had hold the power of life and death of many. Li Ru said to the maid, " Let Cai Yan take away the music scriptures compiled by Cai Yong, his favorite Jiao Weiqin, and the unfinished books during his lifetime. She can't stay in Chang'an"

The little maid ran away quickly. She was shocked by Li Ru's temperament. After a while, Cai Yan with slightly swollen eyes walked over in mourning clothes and greeted Li Ru, "Cai Yan has seen uncle."
