Liu Xie was looking at Dong Zhuo, and Dong Zhuo turned his attention to Shi A and couldn't help but sigh inwardly, what a sharp sword.

It is not the sword worn by Shi Ayao, but his entire human condition, always as if he is in an explosive state, just like a good hunter encountering a powerful prey.

Time passed little by little, and no one was the first to speak, and Liu Xie's patience was almost exhausted. Dong Zhuo was definitely not a mute, but if he didn't speak, he naturally could not speak first, as the master.

At this moment, Hua Xiong spoke: "Lord, that boy looks at you with bad intentions."

Dong Zhuo waved his hand and said, "Don't talk nonsense. Shi A is the top swordsman in the capital. If he had the will to kill me, he would have to wait so long, so he would have taken action long ago."

Liu Xie felt a little shocked when he heard this. Dong Zhuo's words showed that he knew the people around him very well and had already conducted relevant investigations before coming to the house.

Dong Zhuo laughed: "Prince, my old Dong is a rough man. He comes here uninvited today. If you have any trouble, don't blame me."

Liu Xie responded lightly: "Haha, how dare I blame Lord Dong? You are too worried."

"I'm not going to do anything else, I just want you to ascend the throne, Prince, pack up quickly and go with Dong."

"No, my father had made it clear before he died that he could not compete with his elder brother for the throne. Now that he doesn't know his life and death, how dare I look at the throne? I appreciate Lord Dong's intentions, you should ask him back."

"King of Bohai, our lord can make you look down on you as an emperor. Don't take any measures to take good opportunities." Hua Xiong laughed, his words were full of jokes.

“Bold!”

Shi A had long been disliked when she stood by. As soon as the guy got in, his eyes kept turning, as if everything was his own. He was simply a bandit who had entered the rich man's house, trying to make a small fortune.

When he heard his words mocking Liu Xie, he immediately drew his sword and attacked Hua Xiong.

"It's a good time. I've heard that Shi A's swordsmanship is unparalleled. I've wanted to meet you."

Hua Xiong said it happily, but he felt a little excited in his heart, not to mention that he failed the first move and suffered another loss.

He waved the axe in his hand, welcomed him back like lightning, and fought hard with the sword in Shi'a's hand.

Shi Awensi did not move, but Hua Xiong took a few steps back, then he took a sudden step forward, and the sword continued to stab Hua Xiong at the vital point.

Hua Xiong quickly turned his body and was not completely panicked. He barely rushed over from the Ghost of Death. Before he could breathe a sigh of relief, Shi A actually attacked again, completely desperate to fight.

After a few more moves, Hua Xiong felt more and more struggling, and it seemed that he was about to lose.

He Jin watched the two of them with great enthusiasm, and felt a little urge to play, and he became more and more appreciative of Shi Ah in his heart.

Unfortunately, such an outstanding swordsman actually followed Liu Xie.

Liu Xie was also watching, his hands were clenched unconsciously, and his palms were covered with sweat. In order to hide his uneasiness, he brought a pot of tea and watched while drinking, and his heart was a little more at ease.

Dong Zhuo laughed and said, "Shi A will win soon, it is indeed worthy of his reputation."

Liu Xie followed him and was about to speak when he heard Hua Xiong screaming. A hole had been cut on his back by Shi A, and his blood immediately dyed his armor red.

Shi A did not continue to kill, and took a step back with a very cool forehead, but he was very unforgivable: "I won't kill you today, but you have to remember that you will not have such good luck next time."

Hua Xiong's eyes were blood red and he roared angrily: "Doesn't you hurt me?"

Even if he knew that he was not his opponent, he would not admit defeat. He was not afraid of trying his best. He was his own people inside and outside. If he was really anxious, he would definitely not be able to survive.

Seeing that Hua Xiong was about to continue to fight again, Dong Zhuo waved his hand and said, "You have been defeated. If you continue to fight, you will lose my face and you will be something that is not good enough. Please give me back."

"Yes, lord."

Hua Xiong suddenly lost his temper, took away his axe, and walked out in shame.

He Jin smiled and continued, "Prince, you should think about what Dong said."

Liu Xie knew very well that Dong Zhuo had absolutely no good intentions. He wanted to be the emperor very much, but he could not achieve it in this way. If that was not justified, he would only become a puppet of Dong Zhuo in the end.

Now that Shi A has defeated Hua Xiong, he has beaten Dong Zhuo more than one in terms of momentum, so there is no need to be afraid.

Liu Xie looked at Dong Zhuo and said firmly: "Don't think about it, I won't be a emperor."

"well!"

Dong Zhuo bowed his head and said two good words in a row, then clasped his fists and said, "Since that's the case, Dong won't say much, so I'll say goodbye. In addition, it's better for you to stay in the mansion recently, Prince, please give me some instructions. My soldiers will buy it for you."

Liu Xie said lightly: "Thank you, Lord Dong, for your kindness."

"No thanks, I will come to see you again in my spare time."

"Master Shi A, go and see Lord Dong."

"yes."

Dong Zhuo was just a newcomer and was not familiar with the place, but his ambition was too great, and he seemed to have to control the situation in the entire capital, which meant offending many people.

If Liu Xie chose to stand with Dong Zhuo at this time, he would become Dong Zhuo's accomplice, so he was unwilling to do so.

Besides, Mo Xiang and the other two did not go far after leaving the capital, but hid in a nearby town. While inquiring about the news from the capital, they thought that if possible, it would be better to return to the capital. People have to spend money on anything they do outside, and life is really not easy.

Unfortunately, they waited for He Jin's death and Queen Mother He felt as if she was dead. She never mentioned the matter of going back. Moreover, the money she had spent almost the same amount. It was meaningless to continue waiting and might be retaliated by Liu Xie.

So they had to flee. In order not to cause trouble, Empress Dowager He asked Mo Xiang to call her own name He Ci, and did not allow her to have a respectful title for her and Liu Bian. Only in this way can they survive.

A few days later, they got into a team of hungry people.

These hungry people, including old men in their 80s, and babies in their infancy. They are all pale and thin and ragged. Such a big change has occurred in the capital, and the people from all directions are not peaceful. Thieves are always alive. As the saying goes, one moves the whole body, this is the truth.

They had no choice but to follow them. At least there were many people and powerful people. Ordinary robbers did not dare to rob, or they had nothing left.

The situation of the three of them was a little better. They had a dark face and had food hidden on them. They didn't dare to eat in front of everyone. They only dared to wait until the evening to eat a little bit.

Mo Xiang was kind-hearted. Seeing that someone was hungry, she could no longer stand up and wanted to share the food, but He Ci didn't allow her to do so.

There is not much food at all, so I can't feed it with so many mouths. I won't get them even if I take out the food, but I may be hurt by these people.

The saddest thing is Liu Bian. He has been spoiled since childhood and has never walked far away or suffered any hardships. Now he has to rush on his way every day, not knowing when the end will be.

He cried again and again, his throat became hoarse, his tears dried up, and finally he became numb. In addition to the huge stimulation he had received in the uterus before, he was weak in willpower and he was already wandering back and forth on the verge of mental breakdown.

At night, the team found a fire in the distance, and an excited expression appeared on their faces. The fire in the sky proved that there was a village, which means there was food inside.

After some discussion, a few men decided to go to the village to ask for some food. They asked the elderly, weak, women and children to stay aside, gathered more than 40 people and rushed towards the village like wolves.

Mo Xiang sat on the small earth slope with no trees around her, and it was bare. She touched her belly and whispered: "Sister Ci, let's eat something."

He Ci shook his head and said, "It's not OK. Everyone is still very energetic. Maybe they can borrow food when they come back. Let's wait a little longer."

Mo Xiang said, "I think it's hard to borrow food. People are not full these days, so there is no surplus grain for us. It's better not to have too much hope."

"Hahaha, it's on fire, hahaha, it's on fire..."

The village in the distance was originally quite quiet, but suddenly a fire lit up. Not only was Liu Bian not afraid, he jumped happily and applauded happily.

He Ci hugged his son and said with great pain: "Discover, stop shouting."

"It's on fire..." Liu Bin fell into a state of selflessness, as if he hadn't heard what she was saying.

The village will not catch fire for no reason. It must be because the strong men did not reach an agreement. In order to protect their food, the villagers fought with them and accidentally caught fire.

This is just He Ci’s simple thought.

She knew that everyone had been hungry for so many days, so she would not have the intention to talk to the villagers. It is very likely that they had deliberately put the fire on fire.

He Ci bit his lips and hugged his son tightly, preventing him from doing anything out of order.

Everyone was waiting anxiously on the hillside. After a short while, most of them came back, almost all of them were filled with things, including living chickens and ducks, and coarse grains in bags.

No matter how these things come from, they can eat as long as they can. Without saying much, they rushed up and ate whatever they see, and wanted to go up and grab them. The scene suddenly became a mess. Some people could not eat them anymore, but they still stuffed them into their mouths frantically, which made people frightened.

He Ci and Mo Xiang were both rational and were frightened when they saw this scene and couldn't help but retreat.

As expected, people who lose their minds are terrible. If this continues, they really don’t know what will happen.

Just then, a man who looked like he was eighteen or nineteen years old caught up with the hillside and shouted.

"You can't do this. Those foods are saved by the villagers with great hard work. You..."

The young man was stunned when he saw the tragic appearance of the hungry people. What else could he say? Everyone was going to live. Although it was wrong to steal other people's things, they would not be able to survive when they looked at the people in front of him and had nothing to eat.

Compared to morality, filling your stomach is the most important thing now.

They kept eating, and didn't even look at the young man. An old man choked as he ate, and opened his mouth in pain, trying to pick out the food inside.
