"Alright, Minister Ding, please get up quickly. There's no need to be so polite. If it wasn't for you loyal ministers protecting me wholeheartedly, I'm afraid that I would have been harmed by Dong Zhuo.”Liu Bian smiled and waved his hand weakly.
"Right, where's Dong Zhuo?" Hearing Dong Zhuo's name, Ding Yuan suddenly stood up from the ground, his face filled with killing intent.
"Bu 'er, quickly give the order to search for Dong Zhuo. We must kill him, or else I'll be letting down His Majesty's kindness.”Ding Yuan was extremely serious as he spoke to the shocked Lu Bu.
Hearing Ding Yuan's voice, Lu Bu snapped out of his shock and regained his cold expression. Wielding his halberd, he stood up and prepared to head out to search for Dong Zhuo.
"Hahaha, there's no need for Lord Ding. Dong Zhuo has already been executed.”Ding Guan fondled his beard and laughed heartily. Yuan Kui and the group of ministers beside him also laughed heartily.
"What is it? Dong Zhuo was executed?"
"Minister, Grand Commandant, may I ask which brave warrior killed Dong Zhuo? Your Majesty must reward him!”Ding Yuan was shocked before he heaved a sigh of relief.
Ding Guan and Yuan Kui glanced at each other and smiled. They didn't reply, only turning their gazes towards Dong Zhuo's fat corpse and the weakened Liu Bian. Their gazes were filled with reverence.
"Could it be?" Looking at Dong Zhuo's body, Ding Yuan suddenly remembered the scene when he had just entered the hall. His adopted son Lu Bu was a brave warrior, and he was almost killed by Liu Bian. Thinking about it, it was not surprising that Dong Zhuo would die at Liu Bian's hands.
"Your Majesty's might, this old subject admires." Ding Yuan bowed and said sincerely.
"Lord Ding, may I know who this general is?”
Yuan Kui looked at Lu Bu in astonishment. Although Lu Bu had almost died in Liu Bian's hands, anyone with discerning eyes could see Lu Bu's bravery and strength. Naturally, Yuan Kui was also interested.
"Right, I almost forgot.”
"My son, come and greet His Majesty and the ministers of the court." Ding Yuan patted his forehead and said gently.”
"Your humble servant Lu Bu greets Your Majesty. Please forgive me for not being able to perform the full ceremony due to my armor.”Lu Bu knelt on one knee and bowed with cupped fists.
"Hehe, it's fine. As a general, one should wear armor. As a general, one should have such an imposing manner! Fengxian, stand up. Fengxian's bravery just now shocked me!”
Looking at the number one brave general of the three kingdoms, Liu Bian was satisfied no matter how he looked at him. This Lu Bu had a heroic face and a heroic spirit. Even if he was like the slaves of the three surnames in history, according to Liu Bian's guess, history might not be completely true. After all, history was written by the victors and not everything was recorded according to the truth. The names of the slaves of Lu Bu's three surnames might have been made up by the victors.
"Your Majesty, you praise me too much. Your Majesty's bravery is what makes me admit defeat and sincerely submit.”
Lu Bu's eyes were filled with respect as he sincerely said.
This was the first time Lu Bu, who felt that he was the most powerful man in the world, respected someone so much. This person was the ruler of the world. From now on, Lu Bu would not only respect Liu Bian, but also be loyal to him.
"Haha." Ding Yuan stroked his beard as he watched his adopted son and the emperor he was loyal to have such a heart-to-heart talk. He was very happy.
"Eh?"
"Where did Li Ru go?" It was Hwa Xiong, who was behind him, looking around and asking in surprise.
Hearing this, Liu Bian and the officials who were originally immersed in the sea of victory all recovered from their joy and had solemn expressions.
"Hwa Xiong!"
Compared to the other officials, Ding Yuan turned pale with fright when he heard Hua Xiong's voice. He knew Dong Zhuo's number one general very well. Ten days ago, if not for Lu Bu's protection, he would have been killed by Hua Xiong.
"There are actually so many Western Liang rebels.”
"My Bing Province elites, listen up. Kill all traitors of Western Liang.”
Lu Bu stood up abruptly, his tiger eyes sweeping behind him. He saw hundreds of Western Liang soldiers in green armor and their leader, Hua Xiong. Instantly, a wave of murderous intent rose in his heart.
Upon hearing Lu Bu's unique voice, Bing Province's soldiers, who were standing neatly outside the hall, brandished their swords and rushed in with killing intent.""Kill! Kill!"
"Wait!" Yuan Kui's expression changed, and he hurriedly stood between the two parties that were about to collide.
"What does Grand Commandant mean? Why are you protecting this traitor?”Ding Yuan asked.
"I... Hua Xiong and the Western Liang soldiers present have already pledged their loyalty to me and are no longer loyal to the traitor Dong Zhuo!”Liu Bian propped himself up and said loudly. He looked at the hundreds of frightened Western Liang soldiers and gave them a look of relief. He did not know what Western Liang was afraid of. They were afraid that he would kill them when they were done with their work.
"Everyone, stop!" Hearing this, Ding Yuan and Lu Bu's expressions became better, and they ordered the Bing Province soldiers to stop.
" Minister Ding, immediately send troops to seal off the Royal Palace and Luoyang. Although Dong Zhuo has been defeated and Western Liang has lost its power, Dong Zhuo still has a few trusted subordinates guarding Western Liang and various places in Chang 'an. If Li Ru escapes, it will be another bloody battle with his schemes.”
As someone who understood the history of the Three Kingdoms, Liu Bian was well aware of Li Ru's resourcefulness. Dong Zhuo was able to defeat the imperial power on such a large scale because of Li Ru's resourcefulness.
