The surrender of Cao Cao and the others made Lü Bu feel much better.
He saw Yuan Shao's high-spirited look every time he was on the wall.
Lü Bu was expressionless on the surface, but he sneered in his heart.
S.B！
He was not in a hurry to surround Yuan Shao, because he had more important things to do.
Jia Xu was coming.
According to the friendly information provided by the soldiers at the front line,
Jia Xu, who was guarding the city in Liangzhou, heard that his disciple had found his father.
He was very surprised.
He was curious about how a dead person could come back to life. He adhered to the philosophy of doing what he loved.
The big boss had already stepped on the way here.
When the soldier sent the message, Jia Xu's team was already about twenty miles away from the camp.
"..." Lü Bu looked at the bamboo scroll in his hand with Jia Xu's words written on it again and again. His expression was absent-minded.
Xie Lige turned his head and saw that his son was in a daze. He asked curiously, "What's wrong?"
Lü Bu: "..." The bamboo scroll was stuffed into the other party's arms.
Xie Lige looked at him suspiciously.
When he realized that the other party was ignoring him, he raised his eyebrows.
He lowered his head and looked at the bamboo scroll obediently. Soon, there was another person who was in a daze.
Xie Lige thought more. For example, when he died as Cangyun, he lied to Jia Xu.
We agreed to live together, but you courted death. Not only did you court death, but you also died in front of Jia Xu. This was the most excessive.
Back then, he had promised Jia Xu, who was still a child, that he would revitalize the Han dynasty.
Now it seemed that.
If there was a person who had made an agreement with him,
He would quietly die halfway.
After he died, you would be extremely sad. You would painstakingly raise his son, only to find that the original guy had secretly come back to life.
Very good.
Thinking about it from another perspective, Xie Lige realized that he wanted to hit himself.
Yuan Shao was guarding the city gate, and Cao Cao had come to surrender. Everything was not in the father and son's mind. The most important thing for them now was that Jia Xu was coming.
The father and son looked at each other and saw the bitterness in each other's eyes.
Lü Bu calmly said, "This time I did not come out to do anything bad. I did not cause any trouble, and I did not threaten the Emperor to order his vassals around. Teacher should not pursue this matter." Although he really did want to do so.
"Yuan Shao even tricked me."
At this time, Lü Bu wasn't in a hurry to kill Yuan Shao. Acting pitiful was also quite good.
Xie Lige looked at her son with disdain.
Lü Bu didn't care about his father's gaze. Instead, he reminded him, "Have you thought about how to explain to Master why you died on the battlefield?"
When his father died, Lü Bu was still young, but that didn't prevent him from remembering the panicked look on his master's face when he found out about his father's death. That was the first time he saw Forever Victorious.
Huiyu Zhanna Temple Frozen Grass Fern.
Xie Lige tried to escape from reality. "Shut up."
When he thought of that scene, he felt very guilty. Liangzhou had lost its ruler. Outside, there was the Xianbei, but there was no imperial power. The two sides oppressed the nerves of the people of Liangzhou. Jia Xu, an outsider with a different surname, had brought up a child. One could imagine how much suffering he had suffered. All of this had been brought up by Xie Lige.
"I really have the heart of a dog."
For the first time, Xie Lige had the urge to curse. As he thought about it, he suddenly felt angry, but he didn't know who to vent it on.
If it weren't for the Xianbei army outside the city gate, they would have fulfilled their agreement. However, the Xianbei army had already been destroyed outside the city. He couldn't blame the System. The System was only acting according to the rules. As he thought about it, he could only blame God. Too many mistakes had turned into coincidences.
Xie Lige sighed.
He decided to give up struggling.
This was because he realized that he also wanted to see Jia Xu.
For a well-trained army, it would only take half a day to travel 20 miles. Calculating the time, it was about time. Xie Lige wanted to go and greet them. He looked at Lü Bu beside him and revealed a kind smile.
Lü Bu looked guarded. "What are you going to do?"
"Son!"
Xie Lige smiled kindly and grabbed Lü Bu, who had expected something to go wrong. He smiled and said, "Come with Father to see your Master, okay?"
Lü Bu bluntly refused. "No!" He didn't do anything wrong.
Xie Lige pretended not to hear and used force to suppress his son's resistance. He dragged Lü Bu, who was like a useless dog, out of the camp and went to a pavilion not far away to wait for the arrival of the army.
The great commotion in the camp outside the city gate quickly reached Cao Cao and the others' ears. Xi Zhicai and Guo Jia looked at each other and saw the curiosity and thoughtfulness in each other's eyes.
Cao Cao frowned as he listened to the servant's report. He waved his hand and dismissed the servant. He turned to Guo Jia and said, "Jia, what do you think?"
"Jia Xu is here," Guo Jia said with certainty.
Xi Zhicai nodded in agreement.
His clear voice carried a lazy smile as he explained unhurriedly.
"In the entire world, the number of people who can make Lü Bu personally welcome can be counted on one hand. At the same time, there is only one person who is escorted by the Cangyun Army."
"It is rumored that when Dong Zhuo died, he handed the Cangyun Army to two people. One is his adopted son Lü Bu, and the other is his trusted aide Jia Xu."
Cao Cao sighed. "Is Jia Xu here?"
At this time, he felt that his initial thoughts were laughable. At the same time, he couldn't help but rejoice that he had surrendered to Lü Bu early on. Jia Xu's reputation for fighting prowess was extremely terrifying to the children of aristocratic families. Basically, all the children born in the same generation as Lü Bu had been cruelly ruled by this great demon king.
When he thought about how the other party seemed to be able to control everything, Cao Cao felt somewhat weak.
"Is Milord afraid?"
Because of his good relationship with Cao Cao, Xi Zhicai always spoke frankly. Sensing Cao Cao's inner emotions, he laughed and teased.
Cao Cao didn't mind. He laughed at himself. "I didn't think that I would actually alarm him."
After thinking about it for a moment, he felt that it was only natural.
After all, there was an even more terrifying boss hiding in the camp below. Dong Zhuo, who had clearly died on the battlefield but had come back to life, had subdued Jia Xu with just a few words. When such a person appeared again, even Cao Cao couldn't help but feel shocked, let alone Jia Xu, who was far away in Liangzhou.
With the reappearance of his old master, even this Poison Warrior couldn't restrain himself.
"I'm afraid that Yuan Shao won't end well this time." When Cao Cao thought of his childhood friend's unreasonable actions, he couldn't help but sigh for the other party.
Xi Zhicai didn't care. He had always looked down on Yuan Shao. As the son of one of the Three Senior Ministers, he was as willful as a child. He didn't consider anything else and was desperately causing trouble.
"Milord is too soft-hearted."
"If Yuan Shao wasn't too greedy, he wouldn't have ended up in this state today."
Xi Zhicai said bluntly.
When Cao Cao heard this, he helplessly glanced at Xi Zhicai, who didn't seem to care.
One of the four great joys in life was meeting an old friend in a foreign land.
In reality, Jia Xu's thoughts were exactly as Guo Jia and Xi Zhicai thought. When he learned from the soldiers that his disciple had found a father, his first reaction was that it was impossible. No one knew better than him how attached Lü Bu was to Xie Lige. If a person who imitated Xie Lige appeared, Lü Bu would chase him to the ends of the earth, let alone find a father.
Unfortunately, this was the truth. He had no choice but to believe it.
After eliminating all possibilities, the most impossible possibility was the truth.
With complicated feelings, Jia Xu came to a conclusion. A conclusion that made him feel complicated. His old master, the previous head of the Dong family, Dong Zhuo, had appeared.
He didn't want to think about how Dong Zhuo had come back from the dead. Jia Xu only had one thought at the time, and that was to see him as soon as possible. For the first time in his life, he made a bold move. He ordered the Cangyun Army to escort him to the capital, while the remaining soldiers guarded Liangzhou City. After everything was arranged, he left.
On the way, his thoughts turned a thousand times.
When they arrived at the gazebo on the outskirts of the capital, Jia Xu seemed to have sensed something and pulled open the curtain beside him. From afar, he saw two people in the gazebo. One of them was wearing armor and was looking at him with his arms crossed while the other was leaning against the pillar of the gazebo, resting with his eyes closed.
"Stop!" For some reason, Jia Xu ordered. He then lifted the curtains and alighted from the carriage.
He quickly walked in the direction of the pavilion. When Jia Xu arrived at the pavilion's entrance, he immediately saw the man resting by the pillar with his eyes closed like an immortal. His snow-white hair fell to his chest, and his handsome face was just as he remembered. However, it lacked the bandit aura of the past and was replaced by a hint of indifference.
"Master!" Lü Bu called out when he saw Jia Xu coming over.
Xie Lige also opened his eyes when he heard the footsteps. When he saw the dazed Jia Xu nearby, he couldn't help but pause and reveal a trace of surprise.
Jia Xu also paused.
"Wenhe, how come you've become so much older?"
Xie Lige frowned. He glanced at Jia Xu's face and compared it with the face in his memory. He realized that his strategist had aged quite a bit.
He had aged quite a bit.
Time was like a butcher's knife. Back then, he was still a handsome youth, but now, he had become a middle-aged man.
Jia Xu, who was originally somewhat moved, suddenly became expressionless.
"Haha!"
As expected, he shouldn't have been soft-hearted toward this bastard.
"More than ten years have passed. It's only right that I become old," Jia Xu said coldly.
Pfft!
A knife stabbed into Xie Lige's heart. Guilt flowed out like water. For a moment, Xie Lige felt that he wasn't human.
Lü Bu, this naughty child, also began to indifferently stab a second knife into his heart.
"Ever since Father left, Master has been working hard. His hair has already turned white at such a young age!"
His words were like sharp knives. The white knife went in and the red knife came out. Xie Lige's guilt was like a river that flowed endlessly. He wished that he could commit suicide right now.
Xie Lige: "…" Too much guilt made him unable to speak.
Lü Bu laughed coldly. He didn't care about the awkward atmosphere. This child was still holding a grudge against his father for forcing him to come here.
Jia Xu calmly looked back at his lord, whose appearance hadn't changed at all. He asked for the first time, "Will you still leave after this?"
The Poison Warrior was indeed a Poison Warrior. He was able to see the key points of the matter at first glance.
Jia Xu clearly understood that Xie Lige was no longer Dong Zhuo. It could even be said that he was no longer a mortal. He had no reason to stay in this world.
"Do you want me to stay?" Xie Lige asked in return.
Jia Xu silently looked back at him.
Lü Bu followed his master's gaze and looked at his father.
"…"
"…"
