Everyone was shocked when they saw that what came in was a good horse from the Western Regions. Its whole body was as red as fire, and even its eyes glowed as red as gems, just like a rabbit.

The general on the horse was tall, burly and heroic. When he lifted the reins, the horse neighed and he stood up. But the knight on the horse seemed to have taken root and was as steady as a mountain, showing a beautiful horse control skill.

The general's momentum was astonishing. He rode alone into the formation and actually separated the two sides, who looked at each other like fire and water. No one dared to move rashly.

Zhang Ji recognized the person first and said angrily: "Lü Bu, this is my Liangzhou military, what qualifications do you have to take charge of it?"

The general frowned and shouted: "This general is here to resolve the fight under the orders of the Prime Minister. If Colonel Zhang is dissatisfied, you can go to the Prime Minister's Mansion to discuss the right and wrong."

Zhang Ji's expression changed and he was about to refute when Li Ru arrived.

Li Ru ignored Zhang Ji and instead complimented Lu Bu very much, saying: "General Lu is good at riding. If the general hadn't been there first, he would have almost made a big mistake."

Lu Bu said politely: "Master Li, I have given you such a compliment. You are all doing things for the Prime Minister. How dare Bu not care."

Although Zhang Ji didn't like Lu Bu, after all, they belonged to different military systems, he didn't dare not give Li Ru face. He was Dong Xiangguo's son-in-law and the chief strategist of the Liangzhou Army. He was not something he could offend as a junior captain.

. Then he hurriedly bowed and said: "Liangzhou Military Academy Lieutenant Zhang Ji has met Mr. Li."

Li Ru responded lightly and said: "Master Zhang, the Prime Minister ordered you to withdraw your troops immediately."

Although Zhang Ji was unwilling to give in, he did not dare to resist. He said "Yes." Then he issued an order and drove all his Liangzhou troops back to the military camp.

Li Ru nodded with satisfaction and said: "General Zhang, the Prime Minister is currently receiving guests in his mansion. You might as well go and take a look."

Zhang Ji's face was full of frustration. He was stunned when he heard this. Although he didn't understand it very well, he still agreed: "I obey."

In the blink of an eye, Zhang Ji disappeared without a trace.

At this time, Xu Kangfang stepped forward and said: "Xu Kang, the lower official, has met General Lu and Langzhong Li."

Li Ru is now an official, Lang Zhongling, and is one of the Nine Qings. He has a high and powerful position. When he saw Xu Kang saluting, he just slightly cupped his hands and said, "It's been a long time, Mr. Xu. We saw you again after we said goodbye. It's really rare."

Xu Kang said politely: "Master Li is a powerful person in the dynasty, and he is responsible for everything. How can he be like a lower official who has nothing to do every day, just wandering around Luoyang City. This time caused a big disaster, I have to thank Master Li and General Lu for their heroic efforts to save the siege."

."

Li Ru smiled and said: "The ones who came to your rescue were not General Lu and me, but your uncle Xu Jing and your master Cai Yong. I didn't expect that they were so concerned about your affairs that they even joined hands to plead with the Prime Minister. Now it's too late

I have no choice but to ask Mr. Xu to accompany me to the Prime Minister’s Mansion.”

Xu Kang was stunned for a moment, then a touch of warmth surged in his heart, and he nodded and said, "Thank you, Mr. Li."

Seeing that he was neither humble nor arrogant, Li Ru secretly admired him and reminded him: "Master Xiangguo has always admired Master Xu's talent, especially his role in rescuing the enemy. As long as Master Li is silent, someone will surely help Master Xu."

Eliminate misfortune."

Xu Kang heard the words and said affectionately: "Thank you, Mr. Li, for your teaching."

Lu Bu showed interest in Dian Wei from the beginning. At this time, he interjected: "Master Xu's general is very brave, but he doesn't know how to use any weapon?"

Xu Kang said cautiously: "This is my brother. His surname is Dian and his given name is Wei. He is good at using spurge."

Lu Bu's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he said: "It's actually the same weapon as the one I use. If you have the opportunity, you should learn from it." After saying this, he looked at Dian Wei provocatively.

Xu Kang was shocked when he heard this. He was about to explain it away vaguely when he heard Dian Wei say: "I have heard that General Lu is known as the 'Flying General' and his martial arts is the best in the world. I have also long wanted to learn from him.

"

Lu Bu laughed loudly when he heard this and said, "That's very good. I don't know when you will be free, so we can have a discussion."

"Teach anytime."

When Xu Kang heard this, he knew that it was useless to say anything now, so he had to shut up and sighed secretly.

In the Prime Minister's Mansion, Cai Yong and Xu Jing had been waiting for a long time, and Zhang Ji was also standing aside.

Li Ru, Lu Bu, and Xu Kang first stepped forward to salute Dong Zhuo, and then consciously retreated to their respective positions.

When Zhang Ji saw Xu Kang, his enemy was extremely jealous and shouted angrily: "He is the one who stole my beloved wife. This hatred is irreconcilable."

Xu Kang sneered and was about to refute, but Li Ru said first, "Sir Zhang, what you said is wrong. Why did I hear that Miss Zou has not married anyone yet, so how can I try to steal my wife?"

Zhang Ji's face turned red and he said: "I have admired Miss Zou for a long time, and I have already regarded her as my wife in my heart, so I just blurted it out. I hope you won't be surprised."

Xu Jing said at this time: "Master Zhang is really a sweetheart, but it's a pity that Miss Zou likes my nephew, and the two of them have been privately engaged for life. It's just because Miss Zou's father is not in Luoyang, so they never talked about marriage."

Even though Mr. Zhang is full of love for me, I’m afraid it will turn into nothing.”

Xu Kang was shocked when he heard this. He didn't understand why Xu Jing said this. He wanted to object vocally, but remembering Li Ru's advice, he had to suppress his doubts and wait and see what he said next.

Zhang Ji said anxiously: "You are talking nonsense. I have already sent people to find out clearly. Miss Zou and your nephew have only met a few times. Are you talking about a private life-long commitment?"

Xu Jing smiled calmly and said: "Master Zhang only met Miss Zou once, but he has never forgotten her. After all, it is difficult to say for sure about emotional matters. Besides, isn't it the best proof that Miss Zou is living in Xu Mansion now?"

Zhang Ji choked and was speechless when he said this. At the same time, he felt uneasy in his heart. After all, his understanding of Zou Yuan's situation was limited, and he felt that what he said was probably true. But let him just leave it like that.

He gave up Zou Yuan, but was absolutely reluctant to do so, so he had to argue: "Since there is no engagement, then this matter has nothing to do with the Xu family. I will discuss it with Miss Zou myself and have nothing to do with anyone else."

Cai Yong finally couldn't help it and said angrily: "What a negotiation? It's clearly a coercion. Do you know that this is the emperor's feet, and you will not be allowed to be presumptuous."

"Shut up." Dong Zhuo was so troubled by the quarrel between the two sides that he finally couldn't help but angrily spoke out. It was just a simple jealousy, but he actually went to his own house to resolve it. Besides, I don't care what the hell.

What's going on?

But this matter is not easy to deal with.

On the one hand, he is his favored military subordinate, whose trust is the basis for his power; on the other hand, he is the minister he likes, who plays a vital role in stabilizing the court, and it is difficult to give up on either side.

Dong Zhuo is sandwiched in the middle, not the left and right.

Just when Dong Zhuo was hesitant, he heard Li Ru say with a smile: "From my point of view, this matter is quite simple. Since the two adults like Zou Yuan so much, and both of them are military commanders, why not come

How about a competition to recruit a bride?"
