Three Kingdoms Mythology World.

But Dong Zhuo did not agree immediately. He paced back and forth in the room, his brows furrowed and his eyes revealing his struggle.

“But the Yuan family has been kind to me. If I do this, wouldn’t I be an ungrateful wretch? What will the world think of me in the future?” Dong Zhuo said worriedly.

He wasn't after a moment's pleasure; he wanted to ascend to that position. He didn't deal much with the ministers who wanted to scheme against him, and he even generously let go of important officials and generals like Yang Biao, Lu Zhi, and Huangfu Song who had always wanted to kill him, all in order to establish his reputation.

Now, if the entire Yuan family were to be exterminated, the consequences would be quite different!

Although he had been secretly plotting against the Yuan family, once he took this step, the whole situation would be different.

Li Ru stepped forward and said respectfully, "My lord, those who achieve great things do not concern themselves with trifles. The situation is critical now. If we do not take such swift and decisive measures, the relocation of the capital may not proceed smoothly, and we will be put in a passive position."

"Besides..." Li Ru paused here.

"The Yuan family is now in close contact with the Guandong Coalition, which is a potential threat to our lord. If our lord can take this opportunity to eliminate the Yuan family, not only will the obstacle to moving the capital be removed, but our own strength will also be enhanced, and we will surely achieve hegemony in the future."

“If we plunder the Yuan family’s centuries-old foundation, it will be a leap forward! At least twice as strong as their current foundation!” Li Ru said quietly.

After listening to Li Ru's words, Dong Zhuo pondered for a long time, and finally gritted his teeth and said fiercely, "Fine, I'll do as you say! Issue my order to immediately exterminate the entire Yuan family, leaving no one alive!"

Li Ru's last words completely moved him.

"If you're going to do it, go all the way."

"I have two strange items here, which I will use when the time comes..." At this moment, Dong Zhuo took out a strange and ancient scroll and an ancient token from his bosom.

"This is... Hiss!~~~" Li Ru gasped as he took the token and scroll.

"【Clan Fortune Plunder Scroll】...【Clan Fortune Conversion Origin Order】!!!" Li Ru's pupils suddenly contracted, and he exclaimed in surprise.

He hadn't expected his lord, Dong Zhuo, to possess such hidden strength. Had he known of this earlier, he might have plotted against the Liu family much sooner.

Yes, that's right, it's not the Yuan family that's plotting, but the Liu family, the current royal family of the Great Wilderness!

Once the fortune of the Liu clan of the royal family is plundered, the gains will be absolutely terrifying!
However, apart from the imperial Liu family, the Yuan family has the deepest foundation and is no less capable of plundering the Yuan family.

After plundering its fortune, it should be possible to transform a significant portion of the dragon's fortune!

A hint of excitement flashed in Li Ru's eyes, and he quickly accepted the order, saying, "Yes, my lord! I will make the arrangements immediately and will certainly not disappoint you."

After saying this, Li Ru hurriedly left to prepare for the execution of the Yuan family.

This matter was not simply a matter of surrounding the Yuan family mansion and arresting and killing Yuan Wei and others. It involved very complex things, and a single misstep could affect Dong Zhuo's fortune, destiny, and safety.

"I hope the Yuan family can bear a deeper karmic burden, so that the karmic backlash from the merits of heaven and earth and the cause and effect of literature will be less! In this way, the Yongzhou Cauldron can suppress the karmic invasion!" Dong Zhuo sighed softly as he watched Li Ru's hurried figure.

The three most important things at present are: moving the capital, plundering the Yuan family, and scheming against Lin Mu.

Moving the capital was a temporary measure, but the latter two things were for the sake of the Yongzhou Ding!
“Baoguang…why did you leave like this…” Dong Zhuo thought of Hua Xiong again, and a look of sorrow appeared on his face.

Hua Xiong was the general most like him, and he had always held Hua Xiong in high regard. This time, for the sake of the grand plan, he ventured into dangerous territory, but ultimately lost his life.

"After wiping out the entire Yuan family, if circumstances permit, lead a large army to Hulao Pass to meet these traitors from Guandong!"

"Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu, you repay kindness with enmity. I hope you can accept this great gift!" Dong Zhuo muttered to himself, the image of Yuan Shao who dared to defy him flashing through his mind again.

……

As the capital city of Luoyang was shrouded in a blood-soaked atmosphere, Xun You, who had just returned to Cangwu County in Jiaozhou, sensed a solemn atmosphere permeating the air.

"Taking advantage of the chaos in the Central Plains, do they want to completely control Jiaozhou?" Xun You murmured. There was no trace of panic on Xun You's face. He calmly walked out of the teleportation array and then instructed the grooms waiting near the teleportation array: "You go back first. I will drive the carriage back to the governor's mansion alone."

"Your Excellency, this..." the coachman said, puzzled.

“Sir, if I stay by your side, perhaps I can handle things a little,” the guard beside him said solemnly.

"Xun Yi, come here. There are five Star Soul Generals inside this ring. Take them to the Governor's Mansion... Things may have changed at the Governor's Mansion. Save Zhu Fu's life if you can, and let the rest take their course." Xun You whispered to the guard.

"Sir, Zhu Fu is an arrogant and domineering man who preys on the people. Do we really want to save him?" The guard, Xun Yi, a member of a collateral branch of the Xun family, asked in a low voice, puzzled.

"Zhu Jun and Zhu Hao both have a past relationship with our lord. We should save them if we can, and do our best," Xun You said calmly.

"I can take two of the Star Soul Gods with me, and you can keep the remaining three, sir," Xun Yi said solemnly.

There are thirty Star Soul Generals in the Great Wilderness Territory, and Lord Lin Mu has distributed them all to play their roles.

Although Xun You was very powerful, the situation in Jiaozhou was not to be underestimated and required top-tier combat power to guard it. Therefore, five Star Soul Generals were dispatched.

"It's alright, let's all go..." At Xun You's signal, the two grooms and the guard all left.

That guard was none other than the Divine General who had been forced to grow too fast. But regardless, his combat power could overwhelm many peak Heaven-ranked generals, making him a top-tier guard.

Xun You still let them disperse and leave, which clearly showed that the enemy's plan this time was not small!

Soon, Xun You personally drove the carriage toward the prefect's residence.

In a shadowy spot somewhere on the street, a scout who had been secretly observing Xun You's movements saw this scene and immediately sent a message back.

Although Guangxin City, the capital of Cangwu Prefecture, was not as developed and magnificent as the county towns in the Central Plains, it was still quite large. There was still a long way to go from the teleportation array to the prefect's mansion.

In a private room of a restaurant in the distance, near the street, six figures sat waiting for news.

"The spies from the supernatural beings have reported that the Prefect of Cangwu returned to his residence alone in his carriage, while the divine generals by his side were sent away to do other tasks," a refined middle-aged man said calmly.

"Oh... Heaven is helping me!!" exclaimed a slightly older middle-aged man beside him.

"Wei Yan, how is Zhu Fu doing?" the middle-aged man asked in a deep voice.

"It's all arranged," said the middle-aged man whose courtesy name was Wei Yan. This man was none other than Shi Xie.

"This time we will surely kill Zhu Fu and restore peace and order to the people of Jiaozhou!"

"Over the years, Zhu Fu has relied on the prestige of his father, Zhu Jun, to appoint his fellow townsmen, such as Yu Bao and Liu Yan, as officials in the prefectural government. They have abused and mistreated the people, forcing them to pay exorbitant taxes. Public resentment is rising everywhere, and he deserves to be killed!"

"Yes! Xun You, the prefect of Cangwu, had dealings with him and was his accomplice. They should be executed together!"

The group of people in the private room spoke with great indignation.

"Wei Yan, shouldn't we have gone to watch the battle near the governor's mansion? Why did we choose this place? Is Xun You really worth all this fuss?"

"I want to recruit Xun You to my side as a retainer and strategist!" Shi Xie said with a burning desire in his eyes.

"He deserves our utmost care!"
