Three Kingdoms New Emperor

Chapter 187 The Next Step
After sending Xun You away, Liu Xie couldn't tell whether he was happy or worried, and Leng Shouguang, who was serving at the side, silently checked the ice cubes in the basin in the hall, stepped back and left the room, closing the door behind him.In this way, the cold air in the room will not run out, and the air in the room will be cooler.

Leng Shouguang already had a great understanding of this young emperor.He knew that at this time, what the emperor needed was an environment for contemplation.Although, more often than not, he belongs to the kind of person who fears that the world will not be chaotic.

This is an emperor who is prone to landslides and earth shatters, but who is still able to plan the world.

This is Leng Shouguang's reverence and definition of Liu Xie.Otherwise, who can make ordinary cold water produce ice chips in the hot summer?
Leng Shouguang knew about those ice cubes.And, he made it himself.But even so, Leng Shouguang still felt that it was Liu Xie's magic power.After all, he has lived half his life, and he has never seen saltpeter thrown into half a tank of water, and after a night, he got ice cubes.Such a miraculous spell, what is it if it is not the Son of Heaven manifesting the Holy Spirit?
Therefore, Leng Shouguang, who witnessed the miraculous scene, knelt down to Liu Xie.And strictly ordered everyone in the palace not to reveal this secret, otherwise they would be beaten to death with sticks!

Today's introspection is no longer what it was when Dong Bandit was in chaos.At that time, those guard eunuchs could even roll dice to gamble in front of the emperor.However, as Liu Xie's power became more and more dignified, the introspection also restored a bit of the solemnity of the confidants of the Han Dynasty. Accidentally offended Huang Wei.

Naturally, Liu Xie would not instruct Leng Shouguang to do this.As the Son of Heaven, if he has to worry about such trivial matters, it would be too shameful.What he has to do is to guide Leng Shouguang's behavior a little bit, and acquiesce in the harsh punishment of Leng Shouguang a few times, and Leng Shouguang knows what to do for the rest.

Regarding these changes, Liu Xie never said a word, but as he favored Leng Shouguang more and more, he was obviously satisfied with these changes.In such an era, some necessary ritualized systems still need to be preserved, because the external manifestation of power is manifested by these seemingly unreasonable and cumbersome systems.

Since he, Liu Xie, is going to make some deeds, he will naturally want to organize his family after he cultivates himself.Only after making the backyard of his home orderly, can his majesty of the emperor be able to infect others through his introspective solemnity, and then govern the country and the world.

However, when Leng Shouguang was about to leave Xuanshi Hall, Liu Xie suddenly called him again, and asked, "What is Shou'er busy with now, why has she not been seen all these days? "

For Fushou, Liu Xie felt a little indebted.Especially after he abruptly kissed Fushou that time, he felt that he should help Fushou to the queen's position as soon as possible.But it's a pity that during this period of time, he was indeed deeply troubled by many internal worries, and he really couldn't use his fists, so he also postponed the matter of succession again and again.

"Wei Chen is not very clear." Leng Shouguang replied with a bow, and after seeing that Liu Xie's face did not change, he added: "However, the nobleman has been in and out of Nanshan Bieyuan more recently, and he may have obtained His Majesty's permission. , went back to my mother's house to relax."

"Well, it's good that I didn't hang out with that demon girl Diao Chan." Liu Xie nodded and let Leng Shouguang back down.What he just said was indeed his sincere words.Although he knows that Fushou and Diaochan can't do anything tricky, but Fushou occasionally learns some seductive female characters from Diaochan, which sometimes really confuses Liu Xie, making him unable to understand what is going on in a woman's heart. Think about something.

After Leng Shouguang tightly closed the door, Liu Xiecai got up from his seat and sat down on the dragon couch.After taking a sip of the chilled wine, he said leisurely to the screen behind him, "How is the investigation going?"

This sound seemed to speak to the air, but soon, a deep voice came from behind the screen: "Report to Your Majesty, this subordinate is incompetent, and I don't know where that person is hiding."

Li Ru slowly appeared from behind the screen, with a embarrassed expression on his face.

Such shame made him very uncomfortable.In his opinion, as Dong Zhuo's number one adviser, he had created behind the scenes a brutal era of warriors, and he had an extremely secretive and capable army under him.In any case, it will become an indispensable dark force for Liu Xie.

But what shocked him was that he had mobilized all the strength of his subordinates for what Liu Xie had told him this time, but still got nothing.Of course, this is not the most worrying thing for Li Ru. What makes him feel ashamed and indignant is that although he also got information about the death of Bao Xin in Dongjun, when he reported it to Liu Xie, he found that Liu Xie had already heard the news. Just know this!

Li Ru understood that it was the woman who ruined the country and ruined the city who told Liu Xie about it.What's even worse is that her information is more detailed than what she got from the Black Ice Platform!She even knew why Bao Xin's body could not be found anywhere.

According to Diao Chan, Bao Xin's body was indeed dismembered by the Yellow Turban evildoer.And the reason why he died so tragically was because Bao Xin wore a fiery red shirt that day.In the eyes of Bao Xin, such a fine brocade shirt is just a decoration for him to show off his strength, but in the eyes of the yellow scarf thief, the red brocade is a very valuable treasure!
In the era of extremely scarce commodity circulation in the Han Dynasty, cloth could occasionally replace coins for circulation.Not to mention, Bao Xin was still wearing the most expensive brocade among the cloths.And when the army was in chaos, those yellow scarf thieves would not carefully remove the red robe from Bao Xin's body. After a lot of looting, Bao Xin was divided into corpses because of the red robe.

In the end, Cao Cao was willing to pay a lot of money to redeem Bao Xin's body, but the Yellow Scarf thief couldn't hand it over at all.It was because Li Ru specially sent swordsmen from the Black Ice Terrace to collect Bao Xin's corpses scattered on the battlefield, and after some comparison.Li Ru was disappointed to find that Diao Chan's explanation was completely correct judging from the knife marks on Bao Xin's body.

Such a result gave Li Ru a severe blow.

He, a first-rate counselor who was once called a "poison man" in troubled times, is actually inferior to a woman who has always been unknown in terms of intelligence.This made him feel the shame he hadn't seen for a long time, and it was hard for him to hold his head up in front of Liu Xie.

"In this case, don't continue to investigate Dong Bai's whereabouts." Liu Xie turned his head to look at Li Ru's livid face. He knew what kind of troubles would be brought to Li Ru after these words were spoken. hit.However, for his own safety, he had to make such a decision.

Dong Bai...

This woman's name has become a thorn in Liu Xie's flesh.As for Liu Xie, he didn't even know where the thorn was stuck.

Moreover, the speed at which Dong Bai matured step by step made Liu Xie more and more horrified.For the first time, she only used the crudest assassination method to take Liu Xie's life.And the second time in Mei County, she not only wanted Liu Xie's life, but also used the opportunity to instigate a fight between Ma Teng and Han Sui!

That battle almost prevented Liu Xie from returning to Chang'an in time!

What's next?

What else would Dong Bai do?
Liu Xie didn't dare to imagine it anymore, but he had an indescribable premonition.Perhaps, in a very simple and ordinary farmhouse, the girl in the coarse hairpin was polishing the sharp blade in her hand with a smile, allowing the blade to cut her finger, and she didn't realize it was stained by the blade.Her eyes, looking through the endless void, looked at the increasingly towering city of Chang'an, with vicious and triumphant fire shining faintly.

In the flames, a huge conspiracy was brewing.

Under such a threat, Liu Xie had to pay all his attention to Dong Bai's variable existence in this troubled world.For this troubled world, for Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu, Cao Cao, Liu Bei, and Sun Ce, although Liu Xie also has unknown anxiety.But Dong Bai, a woman who was supposed to die this year, and this variable like him made Liu Xie even more restless.

"Wen You, you don't have to worry too much about this matter. Diao Chan and your intelligence have their own advantages and disadvantages. For example, Diao Chan is obviously not as good as you in the analysis of the overall situation in Yanzhou. I will understand how to choose. However, the investigation director Bai and other things that are more dependent on details should be left to Diao Chan."

In the end, Liu Xie still didn't want Li Ru to be too concerned, and after slowly turning his head, he said to Li Ru lightly: "From today onwards, the Black Ice Platform under your command only needs to keep an eye on one person for me."

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, this time, your Majesty will definitely infiltrate the Yanzhou area." Li Ru's face turned pale when he heard this, and His Majesty entrusted him with such a major matter, indicating that between Heibingtai and Diaochan, His Majesty still trusts him in Heibingtai of.

"It's not Cao Cao from Yanzhou, but Yuan Shu from Huainan."

Li Ru was stunned for a moment, and had no time to react: "Your Majesty, what do you want?..."

"It's nothing, I just think it's too troublesome to always use my private seal on the edicts by this time next year. He, Yuan Shu, has held the jade seal of the Han Dynasty for so long, so he should be hot."

Hearing Liu Xie's calm words, Li Ruwen suddenly raised his head, and a palpitating coldness flashed in his eyes: Sure enough, this is the king of killing and decisiveness that he decided to seek, this is the one he likes and The chaotic world of obsession...
