On a desolate road at the border.
Withered grass covered the sky, and there was no sign of human habitation. The whistling wind blew, and dust flew into the air.
Xie Lige stood by the road with a cold face.
He crossed his arms in front of his chest.
The horsetail whisk in his right hand landed on his left arm, and a long sword hung behind his back. His hair was like snow, and his aura was biting cold.
Everywhere his gaze passed, there was only desolation.
He kicked the System that brought him here from the wedding.
Xie Lige said coldly, "Second Brother,
Come out. "
The System was afraid of being hit, so it pretended to be dead.
Xie Lige gave the final notice.
He took out his trump card. "If you don't come out,
I'll complain immediately. "
Only then did the System reveal its head with a bitter look on its face.
"Host, it's not that I don't want you to stay there. The key is that your son has caused trouble in the Three Kingdoms. He has directly become the leader of the allied forces.
When you reach the capital, prepare to abdicate. "
"Huh?"
Xie Lige realized that his original wolf cub son had caused big trouble, but he still could not believe it.
"You mean Lü Bu?"
The System cried and nodded.
However, Xie Lige was still worried about his son's wedding in the previous world. He replied very coldly, "What does it have to do with me?
I've already suffered the punishment of this world.
I'm not responsible for the aftermath. "
He was punished again, and now he had to deal with the aftermath.
How nice of them.
Xie Lige's face turned gloomy when he thought of himself as the actor of the Peerless Twins. He was being pranked like this, and he did not care about these people.
He knew it would be like this. The System collapsed. The main System did not understand how difficult it was to deal with its Host. On the surface, it looked very soft-hearted, but that was because it was not on the line. Allowing the Host to wear female clothes was obviously on the line. Although he was very happy at the beginning, he was probably recording it down in his book now.
"Let me go back." Xie Lige said coldly.
His son had just brought his wife back and was preparing to get married. He had even prepared the betrothal gifts. He felt embarrassed that he disappeared the day before the wedding. Since the System brought him here, it must have a way to bring him back.
The System: "…"
"Wu wu wu QAQ!"
"There's no way back."
The System cried until it was about to burp. The Main System had taken them from the previous world and thrown them here, directly sealing the passage. Even it couldn't enter.
As soon as the situation was explained, Xie Lige's face darkened. Some things were easy for him, but once he was forced to do them, he would develop a reverse psychology.
That was his current situation.
He didn't want to work in this world anymore. Anyway, he heard that Lü Bu, that little brat, was doing well. It didn't matter if he was there or not.
"Second Brother, can I return to the previous world after I commit suicide?"
Xie Lige asked straightforwardly. It was as if he could slit his own throat in the next second after the system said yes.
The System blinked its eyes blankly, as if it was frightened by this sentence.
Three seconds later, he understood what Xie Lige meant.
"No, Host!!"
The System burst into tears. It was as if Xie Lige had slit his own throat. It shouted and cried at the same time. "The Main System doesn't care about what happens in this world. It has already sealed the passage. If you commit suicide, you will only be reincarnated in this world. If this body dies, where can I find a suitable body for you?"
It was very difficult to find a suitable body for someone with such strong abilities like Xie Lige.
In the vast sea of people, Second Brother had only found this body. If Xie Lige slit his own throat and died, the two of them would probably have to pretend to be ghosts and come back.
Hearing this, Xie Lige involuntarily tightened his grip on the horsetail whisk. The next moment, the handle of the horsetail whisk made a painful creaking sound in his hand. The System, which was crying in his mind, felt the violent rage in Xie Lige's heart. It was so scared that it immediately trembled and ran back to where it was supposed to be, not daring to make a sound.
It understood its Host. This was Xie Lige's state of rage. Although he looked calm and indifferent on the surface, if it made a sound again, it was very likely that it would lose its life.
Second Brother, who cherished his life very much, was as quiet as a chicken. It was afraid that Xie Lige would think of it.
When Xie Lige heard the System's words, he knew that his escape route had been sealed. He squeezed the horsetail whisk in his hand so hard that five fingerprints appeared. It was enough to see the anger in its Host's heart.
Xie Lige was not a person who could not distinguish right from wrong. He knew that the System did not know about this either. He squeezed the horsetail whisk and forcefully suppressed his anger. He said in a low and dangerous voice, "Find the nearest army. If Lü Bu wants to use the allied forces to force the Emperor to abdicate, it is very likely that they will meet in the capital city."
When the System heard Xie Lige's low and dangerous voice, it trembled like a pitiful and helpless grass and took the initiative to hand over the information it had found.
With a beep, the information appeared on the screen in front of him. Small and exquisite words densely packed almost half of the screen. It included Lü Bu's position in this world and his current location.
Xie Lige squinted his eyes and carefully read the information. He gently waved the horsetail whisk in his hand as he silently compared it with his memory. He had left this world for too long. The situation of the world had changed a lot. Some forces had disappeared, and new forces had emerged. All of this was very unfamiliar to him.
The figures of the strategists that caught his attention frequently appeared in many different forces. Most of them were heaven-sent geniuses. They were much better than the people he had bitterly looked at.
The information recorded Lü Bu's life after he left very clearly. Xie Lige glanced at it and guessed that his son's position in this world should not be low. At least, not everyone could make the world's forces fear him.
If they wanted to kill him, they would be afraid that there would be no one guarding the border. If they did not kill him, he would be too strong and have a bad temper.
Lü Bu was such a living example. He bravely jumped in the hearts of every important person, causing them to grit their teeth and feel helpless.
When Xie Lige saw the evaluation filled in at the end of the information, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly. A trace of satisfaction flashed in his eyes. This was the most satisfying news he had heard after returning to this world. At least Lü Bu had the demeanor he had when he was young. Back then, when he was alive, the Dong family was not the estrangement in Emperor Ling Han's heart.
Now, his son had inherited this traditional virtue.
Xie Lige blinked and his expression relaxed. He was also in the mood to think about what to do next. He had no way to go back since the passage had been destroyed. He might as well take it one step at a time. As for the main system that threw him around without saying a word, he silently noted it down in his mind. There would always be a chance.
"Second Brother, come out."
After thinking about it, Xie Lige immediately acted. He kicked the timid system and asked in a very cold and ruthless manner.
The system, which was thinking about how to escape, was stunned by the kick. It raised its head and replied blankly, "What?"
Then, it felt a gust of cold air coming from outside.
The system shivered and rolled out without stopping. "Host, please wait a moment. It will be done soon."
Reality proved that the threat of life was much better than the candy reward. In the past, Xie Lige had tried various methods, but the system had dragged on for a few days. This time, it only took about two hours. Xie Lige looked at the paper and found that some important routes had been marked with red lines by various forces.
The dedicated attitude of the system made Xie Lige, who had only received dense and dizzying information, feel inexplicably surprised.
This system was a little strange!
After all, the system had always been a good and obedient child in front of him.
The system, which finally showed its dedication for once, looked at Xie Lige, who was staring at the information on the screen with narrowed eyes. It was afraid that the other party would be dissatisfied with something, so it directly uninstalled him.
Thinking of how pitiful the system would be after being uninstalled, No. 2 hugged itself timidly and hoped that the host would not be angry with it. It was also a victim.
Xie Lige could see that the System was not very careful in the previous worlds, but because there had never been a big mistake, he was too lazy to care. He turned a blind eye and gave a warning. He really put his attention on the information. To be exact, it was information about the alliance of multiple forces this time.
"Has Lü Bu arrived in the capital?" Xie Lige closed his eyes and thought for a while. After a while, he opened his eyes and asked calmly.
First, he had to confirm where his son was.
The system looked at the location and said honestly, "He is still in Liangzhou City."
Was the allied forces only limited to letters?
When Xie Lige heard this, he immediately deduced the progress of the matter. He looked thoughtful.
He lowered his head and looked at his current appearance, which made him look like a fraud. His expression showed a trace of helplessness. God knows why he insisted on materialism when he was teaching his son. Now that he had become a fraud, would his son kick him out?
Thinking of this, Xie Lige felt that it was very possible.
Fortunately, he was now pure. Thinking of the reliability of Taiji, Xie Lige felt relieved.
Taiji was better than having a son or a daughter.
The most important thing now was to find a team that could lead him to Taiji. The situation was becoming more and more serious. There was enough for him to slowly plan.
Xie Lige thought for a while and asked calmly, "No. 2, how far is Cao Cao from me?"
When he returned, Lü Bu was already an adult. If his calculations were correct, Cao Cao had already taken his first step in the struggle for hegemony.
"Beep!" The system straightforwardly displayed the map.
Xie Lige looked at the map. The red dot that indicated his location was next to the intersection. The question that stared at the two words "Cao Cao" was also in a city not far away. The city's location was very convenient. As long as Xie Lige used his qinggong, he would be able to reach it very quickly.
"Host, why do you want to look for Cao Cao?
Isn't it better to look for Lü Bu directly? "The host obediently raised his hand and asked. He didn't mind showing his ignorance at all.
Xie Lige was thinking about how to attract Cao Cao's attention when he heard the system's question. He raised his head and looked at the system with an indescribable expression.
Xie Lige chuckled, "Liangzhou is the border. It takes half a month to go to and fro. If I look for Lü Bu, he might have already left and we might miss him. It's better to follow Cao Cao directly to the capital city and wait for him."
The system nodded as if it understood.
"Besides …" Xie Lige paused and narrowed his eyes, "I want to see what Lü Bu has become after so many years."
The system didn't say anything.
