Double penetration: This Three Kingdoms has dragon energy

Chapter 32: The Reluctant Yuan Shao
"Well, it's literally gone."

"My Yuan family's military camp has turned into a huge pit. The entire camp has disappeared."

"There's a valley nearby with a similar situation to the Yuan family's military camp."

"The valley was also razed to the ground, and everything disappeared." Xu You said after pondering for a moment.

Yuan Shao was incredulous and said, "But how is this possible?

That’s the Yuan family’s military camp!

There are three thousand halberd warriors inside. What power can wipe them out in an instant?

Could it be a first-grade secret technique?
No, even a first-grade secret technique cannot instantly wipe out the Yuan family’s military camp without leaving any trace!

And you also said that there was another valley nearby that suffered the same thing.

I know that valley. It is a valley that is four or five times larger than the Yuan family’s military camp.

To flatten such a huge valley, even if you use three or four first-grade secret techniques at the same time, I'm afraid it wouldn't be possible!"

He had no doubt that this matter was related to the Pavilion of Rare Treasures and thought that Ji Qiu had escaped the disaster just by luck.

Because if Ji Qiu really has this ability, why would he cooperate with the Embroidered Uniform Guard?

He could just stand up and say what he wants.

Even the Emperor of Han would have to take seriously any force that could casually perform three or four first-grade secret techniques.

"At present, it is still unclear what the exact cause is, but I tend to think it is a natural disaster!" Xu You said.

Yuan Shao was stunned and asked, "A natural disaster?"

"That's right, only a natural disaster could lead to this situation. Does my lord have any other ideas?" Xu You said.

In modern times, natural disasters usually refer to natural disasters, including earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, tsunamis, typhoons, heavy rains, floods, droughts, cold waves, blizzards, tornadoes, mudslides, landslides, etc.

These disasters are manifestations of natural forces and are often sudden, unpredictable and extremely destructive.

However, natural disasters in the modern world usually have internal reasons for their occurrence.

For example, earthquakes are caused by crustal movement, and tsunamis are caused by tidal effects.

In the world of Dragon Qi Three Kingdoms, although most natural disasters are the same as in modern times, there are also obvious internal reasons.

But there are also some natural disasters whose causes are completely unknown.

Like a landslide, there was once a mountain range in history that suddenly collapsed without any warning.

Hundreds of thousands of people were buried under the rocks.

There is also a sinkhole.

An area that showed no abnormalities suddenly sank without any warning.

All buildings and living creatures in that area were buried deep underground.

The natural disaster that Xu You referred to was exactly this kind of situation.

Yuan Shao pondered and said, "Judging from the current situation, it really does look like a natural disaster!"

"It's not like a natural disaster, this is a natural disaster, and it can only be a natural disaster!" Xu You said seriously.

Yuan Shao was stunned and asked, "What do you mean, Ziyuan? Whether this was a natural disaster or not is still debatable."

"My Lord, there is no room for discussion. This matter must be determined immediately. This is a natural disaster!
If it wasn't a natural disaster, could it be the Lord's doing?" Xu You reminded.

After being reminded, Yuan Shao suddenly came to his senses.

Yes, the disappearance of the Yuan family military camp is no small matter.

If it wasn't a natural disaster, then we would have to investigate the cause of their disappearance. Then we would find out that he was the one who finally mobilized the Yuan family's military camp.

By then, this matter will most likely be blamed on him.

Blaming this matter on natural disasters will certainly cause him trouble.

Neither Yuan Ji nor Yuan Shu would let him go easily.

But at least it’s much better than not being a natural disaster!

Therefore, the first priority now is not to find out the truth about the disappearance of Yuan’s military camp, but to find a way to get him out of this matter as soon as possible!
At the same time, this matter will have far-reaching impacts both inside and outside the Yuan family.

As far as the Yuan family is concerned, the Yuan family military camp is Yuan Shao's core strength. If he loses the Yuan family military camp, Yuan Shao will be at a disadvantage in the struggle among the three sons of the Yuan family.

Whether it was Yuan Ji or Yuan Shu, they would suppress him without mercy.

As for the outside of the Yuan family, the Yuan family military camp is an important force of the entire aristocratic family camp in Luoyang City.

Without the Yuan family military camp, the situation where the aristocratic families could compete with the imperial power in Luoyang City would be gone forever.

Therefore, the entire camp of aristocratic families will face a round of suppression from the imperial power!

"Damn it! I wanted to use the Yuan family military camp to destroy the Pavilion of Rare Treasures, but I didn't expect to encounter such a bad thing. It's so unlucky!" Yuan Shao said with a dark face.

Xu You smiled bitterly and said, "Yes, but there's nothing we can do. Natural disasters are something no one can predict. For now, we can only put the Pavilion of Rare Treasures aside for now!"

During the next period of time, Yuan Shao had to concentrate on dealing with the internal and external crises of the Yuan family, and obviously he could not take care of the Pavilion of Rare Treasures.

"What? Let go of the Pavilion of Rare Treasures? That's impossible!" Yuan Shao jumped up like a cat whose tail was stepped on and shouted loudly.

He has always been successful and has never experienced this kind of failure.

It would be fine if the Pavilion of Rare and Exotic Treasures was backed by a noble family or a powerful person.

But he had already investigated clearly and found out that the owner of this Pavilion of Rare Treasures was just the third son of a powerful man in Rizhao County, Bingzhou.

How could he let go of such a barbaric and lowly person?
Letting them die easily would be an insult to him!

We must not let him go!
Xu You said in embarrassment: "But without the Yuan family's military camp, I'm afraid it will be difficult for us to deal with the Rare Treasure Pavilion in Luoyang City."

"If we can't deal with him in Luoyang City, then let's deal with him outside of Luoyang City!"

"I heard that the owner behind this Pavilion of Rare Treasures is called Ji Qiu. The reason he cooperated with the Embroidered Uniform Guard was to seek an official position outside the court."

"Since he wants to be an official in a remote place, he must leave Luoyang City."

"Send a letter to Dong Zhuo, asking him to kill Ji Qiu when he leaves the city!"

"As long as he can get rid of Ji Qiu, I will ensure that he becomes the governor of Liang Province!" Yuan Shao said in a deep voice.

……

Deyang Hall of the Northern Palace in Luoyang.

The sun shines down, the white jade steps in front of the hall sparkle, and the dragon and phoenix carvings are lifelike, as if they are about to break through the wall and fly.

Inside the hall, the floor is paved with golden glazed tiles, shining brightly. Twelve giant golden pillars stand tall, and the relief carvings of auspicious dragons playing with pearls on the pillars are so exquisite that the dragon's whiskers are clearly visible.

A throne carved from white marble is placed on a high platform, surrounded by nine golden dragons, whose eyes, inlaid with gems, are bright and spirited.

The jade table in front of the throne is neatly arranged, incense smoke rises from the precious tripod, and rare treasures are displayed all around.

On the walls on both sides, giant murals depict the glorious military exploits and prosperous times of the Eastern Han Dynasty. The characters are vivid and the scenes are shocking.

Outside the window, the imperial garden is full of colorful flowers, pavilions and towers are scattered in an orderly manner, which complement the Deyang Palace and show the royal majesty and luxury.

A middle-aged man wearing a crown and robes was lying on the throne, with a slight sickly blush on his pale face. He was the current emperor of the Han Dynasty, Liu Hong!
