Chapter 55: Life In The Han Dynasty

Half an hour later, Zhang Fei sat on the edge of the crater with his snake spear and waited for Xu Chu to come out.

"Black man, do you dare to fight with no swords and spears. How about we compare fists?" Xu Chu did not ride out this time, and his tone of speech was not as aggressive as before, but it was obvious that he did not want to bow his head. As for weapons, when he was in the village, after searching for a long time, he didn't see any good weapon, so when he ran out, he was scornful.

"Come here. I, Zhang Fei, have never taken advantage of people!" Zhang Fei said piercing the snake spear to the ground. He stood up and shook his arm, then his arms and legs swelled, and his waist was also enlarged.

"Although I don't know who you are, but my father said, if I win, you will let me go with you, and don't treat me badly in the future because of this." Xu Chu patted his chest and said loudly.

"Come on then! I, Zhang Fei, won't trouble you no matter if I win or lose!" Zhang Fei shouted and stomped fiercely before rushing towards Xu Chu.

"Boom!" Xu Chu burst out with a black light that was almost as strong as Zhang Fei's. He didn't dodge Zhang Fei's fist at all. At the same time, he clenched his fist and hit Zhang Fei. A fist-to-flesh attack was the most suitable.

"Boom!" With two muffled sound like drum, Zhang Fei and Xu Chu each took a step back, and then took a big step forward. Fists and feet flew, followed by a series of muffled sounds.

Xu Chu's big foot kick Zhang Fei's chest, and Zhang Fei stubbornly resisted it. He was about to throw Xu Chu out with his backhand. But He didn't expect Xu Chu to jump on his other foot and kick directly on Zhang Fei's chest. This time, Zhang Fei felt chest tightness.

"Black man, let you see strong I am." Xu Chu saw Zhang Fei get kick twice, and was confident that he should have done some serious damage. Even if the black man who was on the opposite side use internal qi to resist most of the attacks, there was enough left for him to suffer.

Xu Chu pounced like a tiger putting his hands on Zhang Fei's shoulders, and directly pressed Zhang Fei to the ground. When Zhang Fei was ready to go up, he would subdue this guy. In horse battle he may not be an opponent, but Xu Chu feels that his own brute force was enough to beat up any life form that moves on land.

Zhang Fei was directly pressed on the ground from a tiger pounce by Xu Chu. The ground that had been rammed with fists and feet was directly smashed into a humanoid pit. Zhang Fei only felt that he was dizzy. When he recovered, he was already pressed down on the ground.

Seeing Xu Chu riding on top of him, throwing a fist at his black face, he was furious. He held Xu Chu's fist with his hand, took a deep breath, and shouted at Xu Chu who was about to do a head slam.

Chen Xi covered his ears, and his heartbeat accelerated. This was simply a sonic weapon. Xu Chu who took the blast from the front is probably dizzy.

Chen Xi's guess was right. Xu Chu couldn't dodge this almost zero-range roar. He gritted his teeth and took Zhang Fei's blow. The whole person was dizzy instantly, but he was crazy and holding on. Although he was nauseous, the whole head that was covered in black light slammed into Zhang Fei's head, directly banging Zhang Fei's head into the ground.

After doing this, Xu Chu struggled to stand up. Zhang Fei, who was dizzy on the ground, hit Xu Chu's face with all his strength. Xu Chu rolled and lay on the ground with Zhang Fei. Lying down side by side, but the point is that most of Zhang Fei's body and head are embedded in the ground while Xu Chu is lying flat on the ground.

Both of them are dizzy, their ears are ringing, but their mouths kept on spraying each other. Then both of them laughed.

"Xu Chu, you are good. Yan Ren Zhang Fei invites you to our Taishan county. What my elder brother wants to do is to help the Han room and needs a warrior like you. There will be endless yellow turbans and endless battles." Zhang Fei lying on the ground reluctantly reached out and made an inviting gesture.

"Okay!" Xu Chu stretched out his hand and slapped Zhang Fei's hand. He then laughed, "I believe you. A barbaric man like you can't be lying."

Liu Bei took Xu Chu, Xu Chu's brother Xu Ding, and more than a dozen brawny guys after staying overnight in the village. He didn't know what the villagers had eaten, for these people didn't look much different than Zhang Fei's body. They were really a strong man. Xu family patriarch had also told Liu Bei that once Taishan county is stabilized, he would move the entire family over. It seemed that he was completely depending on Liu Bei.

Afterwards, there was no other major event. Liu Bei hurried back to Taishan county with his people. That was his land. Although the chaos of the world is not over, and no one will come hold him accountable, but he retains loyalty to the Han Dynasty. The awe-inspiring Liu Bei didn't want to break the remaining rules on such trivial matters. If even the Han family clan did not abide by the laws of the Han Dynasty, who would follow it.

Even if it is to keep the last hope for the Han room, Liu Bei would not allow himself to break this seemingly ruined rule. The Han family clan itself exists to protect the Han room, even if there is a fight inside the family. They would not allow others to intervene, just like Liu Biao, obviously unstable inside, but for the banner of the Han Dynasty, he drag the army to kill the Jiangdong Tigers.

"Is Sun Jian dead?" Liu Bei looked at the information in his hand. Since there was no professional information transmission system, the news had arrived to Liu Bei just after Dong Zhuo in Chang'an knew the news.

"Isn't it the same as what I guessed before? Didn't he get shoot down by an arrow?" Chen Xi said with a light smile, "Whatever oath you make, someone will execute it. The Han Dynasty hasn't fallen yet, and Sun Jian is too rampant."

"Unsurprisingly, it is what Chen Xi expected, but does Chen Xi know who took in Sun Jian's family and soldiers?" Liu Bei put away the information and deliberately tested Chen Xi.

"Yuan Shu, he is the only one who will help Sun Jian collect the body. Although this guy has a bad reputation, he does indeed have a noble demeanor. As long as he solemnly swers, he will never break it. Sun Jian is considered to have left a shelter for his family." Chen Xi said with interest, "If Sun Jian is not dead, Yuan Shu might still take the jade seal, but Sun Jian is dead. In Yuan Shu's opinion, only the orphans and widows of the Sun family are left and he have no opponents. He won't robbed them, that guy takes his own face very seriously."

Liu Bei smiled bitterly. What Chen Xi said was more accurate and more detailed than the information he had received. "Chen Xi is really attentive, and he actually inferred so many things from Yuan Shu's temperament."

"..." Chen Xi didn't replied. After a long time, he said, "Li Ru's strategy is considered to be broken. Although Yuan Shu is unwilling to take the jade seal, he will not let others take it. The jade seal incident is over in a short time. It depends on Sun Jian's son choice. If he really is a grateful person, the jade seal will eventually fall into Yuan Shu's hands."

When Chen Xi was talking about Li Ru, Li Ru was drinking with Jia Xu, venting the anger in his chest. Dong Zhuo disappointed him. All his ambitions and courage were all his imagination. In fact, Dong Zhuo just wanted to go back to his hometown to live his life, and he didn't take care of anything else.

There is also Lu Bu, that bastard who lost more than 10,000 cavalry. Now that others have spoken out, Lu Bu is even more on guard. Li Ru now wants to take a chance to kill Lu Bu. This bastard is not on their side at all. If it hadn't been for Lu Bu's strength being too strong, the protection of the Bingzhou Wolf Rider, and there is no fault, he would have already been killed. Once the eradication is not achieved, Dong Zhuo forces may have no peace.

It's not difficult to kill Lu Bu. The hard part is how to block others people mouth. Since Lu Bu entered Dong Zhuo's forces, he has become Dong Zhuo's forces banner. If there is no reason, and was killed just because of a suspicion. It can be said to be a big issue in the world! It is estimated that not only Dong Zhuo's forces will be confused, but the coalition warlords will also clap their hands and applaud. Such things as loved ones hurting each other and making the enemies happy, the wise man like Li Ru will naturally not do it.

"Come on, Jia Xu drink." Li Ru handed the wine glass to Jia Xu with a bitter expression. In front of Jia Xu, he never had to put on airs, just say anything you want.

Jia Xu didn't speak, so he accompanied Li Ru to drink. He listened to what the other party said and remembered it in his heart. It was because of his friendship with Li Ru that he knew exactly what the situation is like in Chang'an. It can be said that without Li Ru's pressure, Chang'an would have become completely chaotic. The Binzhou Wolf Riders and Xiliang Tieqi dislike each others and Dong Zhuo played around every day. Looking for wealth, the entire Chang'an is in chaos.

Li Ru always thought of his original ideals. When he saw the chaos under Chang'an, and heard the screams of women scattered into his ears, his heart was very painful. His disappointment with Dong Zhuo gradually turned into hatred. He came from a poor family. He wanted to change this era where the family monopolized all wealth and wisdom. When he made his ambition, he was ready to sacrifice everything, not only at the expense of others, but also at the expense of himself.

But now looking at the human tragedy in Chang'an city, Li Ru asked himself, has the life of civilians changed? It's a pity that he is not delusional enough to think that it has gotten better. Instead, it has gotten worse.

The exploitation of aristocratic families will result in poor people, and there will also be very little to eat all year round, but that is only a minority problem after all.

Thinking about the time before Dong Zhuo came. At least Chang'an still had the ability to whitewash these tragedies under the rule of the aristocratic family. He also knew that feeding grain and porridge in the disaster year at least seemed to be peaceful.

Now Dong Zhuo has torn off all the whitewashing, allowing the tragedies of that scene to happen on a large scale. The entire Yongzhou is caught in this kind of tragedy. Li Ru is the creator of this hell.

He once wanted to end the family's monopoly on wealth and wisdom, and was ready to sacrifice everything, but seeing these tragedies now, Li Ru can no longer imagine what the road ahead is like.

Although the road of reform are paved with corpses and the bones that fell before dawn will definitely belong to the reformers themselves, but at least they can feel the warmth of the light. Now, Li Ru can't see the light on his path. There are only scenes of tragedies in sight. Is this the path he seeks? No! Absolutely not!
