He Jin's unexpected death completely unleashed the beast of the "Aristocratic Family".

Under the guise of revenge for the general, the aristocratic families invaded the palace. Yuan Wei, Yuan Shao's uncle and nephew even "falsified their edicts" and massacred the eunuchs in the palace, and the entire city of Luoyang fell into turmoil.

The great changes in Luoyang City in the past two months have been so great that everyone has an overwhelming sense of urgency, except of course Xu Kang.

The development of history has not changed at all because of the appearance of Xu Kang, a little butterfly, or it can be said that he has no intention of changing anything.

As a time traveler, Xu Kang has understood that his greatest advantage is not what advanced ideas he possesses, because only when you are truly in this era will you understand that ideas have nothing to do with advancement.

The only basis for their existence is appropriateness or inappropriateness. Modern ideas had almost no market in ancient times. In fact, their only advantage is their understanding of historical development. If history changes too much because of you, then those who will suffer the most in the end will

Or himself.

Xu Kang also did not have the great consciousness to relieve the people from hanging upside down, otherwise he would not have chosen Dong Zhuo. In this chaotic historical tide, his first consideration was how to protect himself and the people around him, nothing more.

Mang Mountain lies to the north of Luoyang, also known as "Bei Mang". It is a branch of Mang Mountain and stretches for nearly 200 kilometers from east to west. It is a natural barrier to the north of Luoyang and a strategic military location.

Xu Kang and others quietly guarded the only way to Xiaopingjin Ferry, watching the five or six people running in front of them in panic.

When these people saw Xu Kang, they were also stunned. After a moment of hesitation, a rich old man stepped forward and said: "General, we are all common people in Luoyang City. We are fleeing here in the event of chaos. Please make it convenient for us, General.

Just let me wait."

Xu Kang looked him up and down for a while and said with a smile: "Zhang Rang, don't say this kind of joke to deceive children."

The old man said in astonishment: "Why did the general say this? I really don't understand."

Xu Kang sneered and said, "You don't want me to have someone strip you naked before you admit it, do you?"

The old man's face instantly turned pale and he said, "May I ask the general's name?"

"You will naturally know my name in the future. Now it's better to follow me back to the city."

Zhang Rang's face changed and he said: "I am willing to use all my wealth to find a way to survive."

Xu Kang shook his head and said: "The most valuable thing in your body now is the head on your neck."

Zhang Rang finally understood that he was no longer alive today. Thinking of the torture he would suffer after being caught by those wealthy families, he turned around and rushed towards the river next to him, obviously wanting to commit suicide by jumping into the river.

Xu Kang was already prepared. When he ran to the river, an arrow shot out and hit him in the calf.

Zhang Rang fell to the ground due to inertia and howled: "I only want to die, but the general is not willing to fulfill my wish?"

"As expected of someone who dared to assassinate the general, he was indeed decisive. It's a pity that your death was not decided by you." After Xu Kang finished speaking, he ordered people to rescue him and ignored him.

Xu Kang walked up to the two young men, knelt down on one knee and said, "My lord, Xu Kang, a disciple of the Hongdu Sect, came to the rescue late. I hope your Majesty will forgive me."

Although Liu Bian, the Young Emperor of the Han Dynasty, was already a young man of seventeen or eighteen years old, he was thin and small and looked similar to the eight-year-old Liu Xie. There were fierce battles in the royal family of the Han Dynasty, and it was difficult for the prince to survive to adulthood. In order to keep Liu Xie

After pleading for his life, Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty sent him to a Taoist priest for adoption.

Although this allowed Liu Bian to grow up safely, it also meant that he had rarely seen any big scenes and always seemed timid. Although Liu Xie was young, he was raised by the Empress Dowager Dong and accepted it since he was a child.

The palace education was more aristocratic than Liu Bian's. This was one of the reasons why Emperor Ling wanted Liu Xie to succeed him.

At this time, a huge change had just occurred. Liu Bian looked frightened and said tremblingly: "My dear, you have saved me this time. I will be rewarded heavily when I return to the palace."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." After Xu Kang stood up, he asked his men to prepare two horses for each of them to ride. Then he turned to the two frightened young eunuchs and said, "You guys are still waiting.

Killed?"

The two young eunuchs were stunned, turned around and ran away, disappearing in the blink of an eye.

Xu Kang then ordered: "Zhao Yun, you immediately take people to find Dong Zhuo's army and ask him to join us in front of the valley gate as soon as possible."

"Yes." Zhao Yun turned around and took the order and left.

Xu Kang led a dozen of his men to protect the current emperor as he slowly advanced towards the valley gate.

Zhang Rang tied his hands in front of him and dragged him behind Xu Kang's horse. When he heard Xu Kang's instructions to Zhao Yun, he said: "This rescue is a great achievement, and you actually give it to Dong Zhuo."

Xu Kang smiled and said: "If you have the strength, it will be a great achievement, but if you don't have the strength, it will only be a great disaster. I am not stupid."

Zhang Rang was silent for a while and said: "As long as you cooperate with me, you may not be able to control the government and reshape the government's agenda."

Xu Kang shook his head and said, "Why don't you understand? The era of eunuchs has passed. Your role now is just to add prestige and merit to me. Don't think too much."

Zhang Rang finally became speechless.

Unexpectedly, Xu Kang slowed down his horse speed again. After seeing that the distance between him and the emperor was reduced to a safe position, he whispered to Zhang Yi: "You have been a corrupt official for so long, and you must have a lot of property in your hands. If you are willing to drive

For a good price, I don’t mind giving you a happy death.”

Zhang Rang was stunned and immediately said: "I am willing to give up all my family property and just ask for my life."

Xu Kang shook his head and said: "This is impossible. All I can do is prevent you from falling into the hands of a noble family and being insulted by others before you die. Of course, it depends on whether you are willing to do so."

Zhang Rang hesitated for a long time and could not make up his mind. It was not until Luoyang City was in sight that Zhang Rang agreed with a pale face.

Outside the valley gate, the vanguard of a thousand flying bear troops led by Dong Zhuo had been waiting for a long time.

Seeing this, Xu Kang hurriedly stepped forward and said, "See General Dong."

"Your Majesty is here."

"Right away."

Dong Zhuo hurriedly dismounted from his horse and paid homage. At this moment, hundreds of people suddenly came behind Xu Kang.

The leaders were Situ Wang Yun, Taiwei Yang Biao, Lieutenant Yuan Shao and others. After they heard that Zhang Rang had kidnapped the emperor and left the valley gate, they knew that he must go north to find King Qin's army, so they hurried to the small town.

Pingjin, hoping to wait for work in leisure and return to the emperor.

Unexpectedly, they were overtaken by Xu Kang. When they learned the news and rushed back, Dong Zhuo had already escorted the emperor into his own army.

Yuan Shao was very anxious when he saw this. His father and son had spent so much effort on this day, but now someone else picked the fruit in the blink of an eye. "Who is here?"

"Bingzhou Mu Dong Zhuo."

"There is an edict but the troops are gone."

"As ministers of the country, you cannot help the royal family and cause the country to be in turmoil. How dare you resist my troops?" Dong Zhuo stepped forward on his horse and scolded in high spirits.
