"Isn't it just a push? Sometimes, the chancellor has a bad temper, but it's fine, haha, the chancellor still has ambitions, still coveting the throne, and his courage remains, abandoning the entire prosperous Luoyang as if it's nothing, throwing it out for the Guandong Lords to fight over like dogs, finally coming to his senses!" Li Ru was ecstatic, all his dejection and dissatisfaction had evaporated. As long as Dong Zhuo retained his ambitions, his dreams had a place to land!
Li Ru completely misunderstood Dong Zhuo's thoughts. Whatever 'having a better life' meant, it wasn't what Li Ru imagined—that currently being second to one, superior to thousands, in a few days he would advance even further, directly doing away with that one…
Alright, this was a wonderful misunderstanding, and an invigorated Li Ru was terrifying, especially since Dong Zhuo had made the domineering decision to abandon the whole of Luoyang, Li Ru felt all his shackles had been released.
