Chapter 273

"Mr. Jia, take a look and see if these things are what you need! If they are, give a fair price, and then we can continue to cooperate well!"

"I will also have people pay attention to protecting these ancient books to trade with you."

Guo Si ordered someone to bring a box of ancient books and send them to Jia Yi, signaling him to look.

It turned out that Jia Yi had long known Guo Si through Jia Xu and had expressed his desire to purchase the ancient books from the tombs at a high price.

Guo Si, with the mentality of a fool not to earn money, and because it was introduced by Jia Xu, naturally took it to heart.

Therefore, during the first batch of excavations, he ordered people to pay special attention to the ancient books in the tombs.

After finding a batch, he notified Jia Yi immediately.

"Okay! Let me take a look first!"

When Jia Yi heard this, he immediately took a scroll of ancient books and began to flip through it.

Before long, Jia Yi said to Guo Si: "General Guo, I have seen them. The items are good things, and my Lord will likely be very interested!"

"I am willing to pay 1 gold per scroll to acquire all the ancient books. I wonder what the General thinks?"

"Oh? 1 gold per scroll?"

When Guo Si heard this, his eyes began to shine.

1 gold is not a small amount.

The key is that there are really many ancient books in these tombs. In an imperial tomb, thousands or even tens of thousands of scrolls are not impossible.

Calculating this, it is a huge sum of money.

The key is that if Jia Yi doesn't want these things, they are completely waste products and not worth a penny.

Selling them to Jia Yi is completely extra income.

Guo Si immediately made a decision: "Good! Just as you said, Mr.! 1 gold per scroll! Next, I will order people to dig and protect these ancient books well;"

"I will send you a batch every three days, how about that?"

Guo Si was still calculating in his heart at this time.

As long as he doesn't tell anyone about the money earned from selling these ancient books, no one will know.

He can completely swallow it all and keep it for himself.

If he hands it over to Dong Zhuo, the gold and silver wealth dug out is enough.

"Can do! Then it's settled! Please, General, be quick. After all, we have to move to Chang'an later, and our firm also needs time to prepare for the move."

Jia Yi immediately nodded and agreed.

"Haha! Naturally!"

When Guo Si heard this, he laughed loudly and waved his hand: "Rest assured! Leave the matter of moving to Chang'an to me! If there are any problems, you can send someone to find me, and I will solve them for you!"

Making money, it's not shameful.

Convenience for others is convenience for oneself.

"Haha! Then thank you in advance, General Guo!"

When Jia Yi heard this, he also smiled and cupped his hands in thanks.

Soon, as time passed, batches of ancient books dug from the tombs were secretly sent by Guo Si to a firm of the Su Clan Commercial Firm in Luoyang.

Of course, this firm did not use the name of the Su Clan Commercial Firm.

After all, Su Xuan is now a member of the Warlord Alliance, and Dong Zhuo hates Su Xuan to the bone.

If they used the name of the Su Clan Commercial Firm, Guo Si would be the first to raid the firm.

After the ancient books were sent and the transaction was completed, they were all immediately sent by Jia Yi's orders to an underground base, transported out of the city, and temporarily placed in a secret underground base outside the city.

Waiting for the right time to be sent back to Jingzhou.

In the Luoyang Imperial Palace,

Li Ru looked at the Imperial Jade Seal in front of him, then looked up and used the Qi-Observing Technique to look at the Great Han's Qi-Luck Golden Dragon above Luoyang City.

"Awoo..."

The Great Han's Qi-Luck Golden Dragon sensed Li Ru's prying, but unfortunately, it was so weak that even its cries had become feeble, let alone giving Li Ru a strong backlash.

It could only glare at Li Ru.

"Hehe!"

When Li Ru saw this, he just smiled faintly, looked at the Great Han's Qi-Luck Golden Dragon that was still constantly weakening, and judged in his heart: "It seems that once the Son of Heaven moves away, this Qi-Luck Golden Dragon won't be able to make any waves for the time being!"

"The backlash against the Lord and me will also be reduced to a minimum!"

"Unfortunately, it's not yet time to destroy it!"

"But it's enough for now!"

"This time, I will leave this Imperial Jade Seal in Luoyang City and throw it to those warlords to let them fight over it!"

"It just so happens that it can further weaken the Great Han's Qi-Luck Golden Dragon, making it completely lose any possibility of turning things around;"

"At the same time, it can also prevent this Imperial Jade Seal from causing any more trouble!"

He knew clearly that the reason Zhang Jiao's dragon-slaying failed was because of the trouble caused by this Imperial Jade Seal.

He would not make the same mistake as Zhang Jiao.

"You! Pack the Imperial Jade Seal into a box for me!"

Thinking of this, Li Ru waved his hand at an ordinary palace maid on the side.

In any case, he himself did not dare to touch this Imperial Jade Seal.

If he touched it, with the curse of the Great Han's Qi-Luck Golden Dragon and the calamity energy on his body, he might be directly backlashed to death by this Imperial Jade Seal.

He would not court death.

"I hope some of you can accept this great gift, this karma, and bear this backlash for me and my father-in-law!"

"Once you bear it and take over this karma, then the Great Han will truly exist in name only;"

"At that time, my Lord will be able to truly begin to seize the world and take over the Great Han!"

Li Ru looked toward the east and thought with a cold smile.

"Yes!"

When the palace maid heard this, she hurriedly stepped forward, packed the Imperial Jade Seal into the box, and covered it.

Only then was she waved away by Li Ru.

A few days passed in a flash,

Here at Hulao Pass, the situation had already changed.

Three days after Zhao Yun sparred with Lu Bu, Lord Yuan Shao and the others couldn't wait any longer. After consulting with Su Xuan, they took advantage of Zhao Yun's third spar with Lu Bu to directly lead the army out of the camp, ignoring Lu Bu, and directly led the army to kill toward Hulao Pass.

As a result, Lu Bu was startled by this formation, hurriedly repelled Zhao Yun, and turned his horse to run back.

At the same time, Lu Bu did not forget to transmit to Zhao Yun: "Damn! Zhao Zhao Zilong! You kid are not loyal, actually plotting against me?"

When Zhao Yun heard this, he transmitted back with amusement: "This really can't be blamed on me! It's Lord Yuan Shao and the others' strategy!"

"Brother Fengxian, you'd better run quickly!"

"Damn!"

When Lu Bu heard this, he cursed loudly and hurriedly accelerated to retreat into his own army formation.

He directly connected and formed an army formation, continuing to retreat, with no intention of staying to fight the Allied Forces.

Ridiculous, that was an Allied Force of hundreds of thousands; he would have to be stupid to stay and fight!

No matter how powerful he was, could he be more powerful than an army of hundreds of thousands?

Not to mention, there were divine generals on the opposite side like Zhao Yun, Huang Zhong, Old Dian Wei, and even Su Xuan, who were of the same level or even stronger than him.

Saving his life is the priority.

His retreat directly affected the Dong army several kilometers behind.

"Brother Fengxian! What's going on? Why are you back so early today?"

Seeing Lu Bu retreat, Dong Zhuo asked with great confusion.

Lu Bu hurriedly replied: "My Lord! The Allied Forces are not playing by the rules. Today they deliberately sent Zhao Yun to fight me, and then secretly, the whole army attacked, coming to encircle and annihilate me!"

"I see that their goal is clearly not just me, but also you, my Lord, so my Lord, retreat quickly!"

"It will be too late if it's late!"

"What?"

When Dong Zhuo heard this, he was shocked: "The Allied Forces have mobilized their entire army?"

"Really retreating?"

"No! I have hundreds of thousands of troops under my command, how can I retreat without a fight?"

"Lu Bu, I order you to quickly lead the army to engage the Allied Forces;"

"I will also attack from here, and fight the Allied Forces first;"

"Retreating directly is absolutely not allowed!"

Facing Dong Zhuo's tough demand, what else could Lu Bu say?

He could only agree.

He immediately led the army to meet the enemy.

This battle was fought until the sky turned dark and blood flowed like a river.

The casualties on both sides were very heavy.

But in the end, Dong Zhuo's side was outnumbered and had to choose to retreat.

They were chased all the way by the Allied Forces until they retreated back into Hulao Pass, and only then did they catch their breath.

Next, the Allied Forces began to attack Hulao Pass with all their might.

At the same time, they wanted to send troops to attack Yique Pass.

"Who is willing to lead troops to Yingchuan, take the Liangxian route, capture Yique Pass, and then attack Luoyang?"

Lord Yuan Shao looked at the warlords and asked.

When Su Xuan heard this, he immediately stood up and said: "Alliance Leader Lord Yuan, I am willing to lead the army to attack Yique Pass!"

If he continues to stay at Hulao Pass and grind, for one thing, the losses will be too great.

He couldn't bear to let his soldiers fill this majestic pass.

Of course, he could let the soldiers unleash their full power and cooperate with Zhao Yun, Huang Zhong, and others to forcibly take Hulao Pass.

But this would completely expose the combat power of his army, which is not conducive to future development.

It would arouse the hostility and vigilance of all the warlords.
