Chapter Thirty-Six: Jia Xu Meets Liu Xie
Dong Cheng looked at the middle-aged scribe in front of him, with a lot of confusion in his heart.
How did he find me? I had moved several times to avoid the heavenly soldiers outside, so how did he find me?
In addition, given his status, how could he dare to come to Luoyang?
Isn't he worried that he will be arrested?
As a middle-aged scribe, it was definitely a great achievement to have someone arrest him.
"Wen He, you are so brave, you dare to come to Luoyang?" Dong Cheng said in a bad tone.
"Zirong, why don't I dare to come?" Jia Xu looked at Dong Cheng with a smile on his face. (Codezi didn't find Dong Cheng's name, so I picked one up blindly.)
"Why don't you dare to come? Don't you know your current status?" Dong Cheng was immediately offended by Jia Xu's words.
"You first belonged to Niu Fu, then to Li Jue and Guo Si, and now to Zhang Xiu. Why do you think you don't dare to come?" Dong Cheng said angrily.
"Zirong, what you said is meaningless. Didn't you follow Niu Fu before?" Jia Xu always had a smile on his face.
"I'm different from you! I've always been a loyal man!" Dong Cheng stood up immediately, and then said: "You and I are old acquaintances, don't say that I ignore our past feelings!"
"Today I will have someone take you out of the city. Forget about the past relationship between you and me. When we meet again in the future, it will be life and death."
"Zirong, don't you understand me? In the past, we were together under Niu Fu's tent. You should know what kind of person I am. I came here today with a mission."
"Mission? What mission?" When Dong Cheng heard Jia Xu say there was a mission, he stopped arguing.
His big reaction just now was actually because he still wanted to protect Jia Xu.
After all, he and Jia Xu had been under Niu Fu's account before, and they could be considered good friends. Although Jia Xu had not shown off before, he was one of the few people who knew Jia Xu's abilities.
Therefore, after meeting Jia Xu in Luoyang, Dong Cheng's first thought was not to let Liu Xie know about Jia Xu's existence and to send him out of the city as soon as possible.
"I came here this time to save the emperor's life." Jia Xu always had a gentle smile on his face.
"Save the emperor's life?" Dong Cheng's face showed a trace of displeasure.
"Wen He, I treat you as a friend, why do you treat me as a fool?"
"Now Luoyang is firmly under the control of the Emperor, and the main force of the Xiliang Army has been annihilated by the Emperor. Not to mention the entire Sili, not even Yongzhou has any power that can threaten the Emperor."
"Your talk of saving the emperor is simply nonsense!" Dong Cheng snorted coldly.
"Oh? Really? So that's what you think, Zirong? Then I really think highly of you." Jia Xu shook his head helplessly. He really didn't expect Dong Cheng to be so short-sighted.
"Zirong, you only saw Xiliang, so have you paid attention to Cao Cao east of Luoyang?"
"Cao Mengde? What does this have to do with him?" Dong Cheng looked confused.
When Jia Xu saw Dong Cheng's appearance, he knew that his mission this time would be successful.
Royal Palace.
Liu Xie just checked the progress of material collection for the three major buildings.
It can be said that this progress far exceeded his expectations.
He originally thought it would take a week to collect the materials, but now it seems that it can be completed in only two days. This means that the construction of the three major buildings will be completed faster than expected.
The sooner players can improve their strength. This makes Liu Xie very happy.
Just when Liu Xie was about to relax, a young man opened the study door and walked in.
"Your Majesty, my uncle is asking for an audience outside the palace." Xiao Huangmen said softly.
"Huh? Uncle Guo is here? Let him in." Liu Xie heard what Xiao Huangmen said and let him in without even thinking about it.
When Xiao Huangmen saw that the emperor agreed to meet his uncle, he turned around and walked out of the study without saying anything more.
Not long after, Dong Cheng led Jia Xu into Liu Xie's study.
When Liu Xie saw his uncle Dong Cheng walking in with a middle-aged man he had never seen before, he was also a little puzzled.
Logically speaking, Dong Cheng can be regarded as his confidant. Under normal circumstances, it is impossible for him to bring people to see him at will.
If you really bring him, then this person must be very important.
"Meet your Majesty." The two of them saluted Liu Xie first, and Liu Xie casually waved his hand, indicating that the two of them should get up first.
"Uncle, you haven't come to see me for quite some time. Is there anything important you have to do to come today?" Liu Xie asked seemingly casually, but his eyes were always fixed on Jia Xu.
"Back to Your Majesty, I came here today to introduce this good friend to Your Majesty." Dong Cheng said respectfully.
"Let me guess." Liu Xie heard Dong Cheng's words and immediately stopped Dong Cheng from continuing.
"My uncle's friend, then this one should be from Xiliang, right?" Liu Xie had a faint smile on his face.
Hearing that the emperor immediately guessed that he was from Xiliang, Jia Xu's face suddenly showed an expression of astonishment.
Seeing Jia Xu's expression, Liu Xie immediately knew that he had guessed correctly, and his smile became even stronger.
There is no way, sometimes, as a superior, you have to show your intelligence so that the people below you can be in awe.
"Your Majesty is wise, but the common people want to know how your Majesty the common people came from Xiliang?" Jia Xu asked.
"It's very simple." Liu Xie smiled, leaned back to make himself more comfortable, and then continued: "Since sir is a good friend of the uncle, he must have interacted with the uncle."
"When Uncle Guo was an official, he served under Dong Zhuo's Niu Fu. Since you have an old relationship with Uncle Guo, you should also be from the Xiliang Army."
"In addition, if sir comes from other places, he can ask to see me directly instead of going through the line of uncle Guo. This means that the relationship between sir and uncle Guo is extraordinary."
"It's very possible that Mr. Niu Fu also came from Niu Fu's tent, and Niu Fu himself is a rough man, and most of his subordinates are martial artists."
"I can only think of one person who is as gentle and gentle as your husband, right, Wen He?" Liu Xie would never tell Jia Xu that he knew Jia Xu's name through the system.
However, Liu Xie's explanation can also explain Jia Xu's identity very well.
But when Jia Xu heard Liu Xie's words, he was completely stunned.
He was just a minor figure under Niu Fu before, but even so, Liu Xie was able to guess his identity just by Dong Cheng's words.
I have to say that Jia Xu is convinced now.
With such a wise emperor and an army that is absolutely loyal to him, the heaven of this Han Dynasty will eventually belong to the Han Dynasty.
