Chapter 342

Enfeoffing kings was already beyond the standard.

He couldn't afford anything higher.

Hmm! Lord Yuan Shu was still immersed in his emperor dream at this time, unwilling to wake up!

It was mainly because he felt that he had obtained the recognition of the Imperial Jade Seal and condensed his own Golden Dragon of Destiny, so he was the true one destined by heaven.

However, what he didn't know was that his destiny had been constantly flowing toward Su Xuan from the moment he declared himself emperor.

Especially after Su Xuan declared himself king and condensed his own Golden Dragon of Destiny, it was even more so.

Of course, Su Xuan was well-prepared, so until now, no one in the world knew that Lord Yuan Shu had condensed a Golden Dragon of Destiny.

Otherwise, someone would have really discovered the clues.

It can only be said that Su Xuan's means were too superb.

Even if he hadn't exposed his own condensation of the Golden Dragon of Destiny this time, no one would have discovered his Golden Dragon of Destiny.

Su Xuan exposed this purely to let these people know, to show his strength and foundation, in order to obtain the loyalty and allegiance of some people.

This was very possible.

Lord Yuan Shu could only be impotently furious.

However, after learning that Sun Ce had betrayed him and chosen to declare himself king, he immediately sent a large army to crusade against Sun Ce, and at the same time, wanted to take Jiujiang and Lujiang into his own hands.

It was also at this time that Su Xuan sent the Jiangxia Navy, the Black Armor Army, and the Azure Dragon Army together, advancing by water and land, to attack Lujiang and Jiujiang.

For a time, Lujiang, Jiujiang, and other places were surging with wind and clouds.

At the same time, in Guanzhong,

"Tsk tsk! Li Ru is something!"

Jia Xu couldn't help but click his tongue when he saw that Li Ru had actually taken the opportunity to kill the Son of Heaven of the Great Han and Wang Yun.

This was not something he had revealed or guided!

It was entirely Li Ru's own choice.

It can only be said that this person is truly ruthless.

In every sense.

"Hehe! Isn't this better? We have perfectly completed the lord's mission and will definitely receive the lord's praise! Hehe!"

Jia Yi said with a happy face.

Originally, they had other plans to use Li Jue and Guo Si's hands to kill Liu Xie.

Unexpectedly, Li Ru was so capable that he did this thing all at once.

It saved them a lot of trouble.

"This Li Ru is indeed a character; his ability and intelligence are top-notch. Unfortunately, he chose the wrong person to serve and ended up with such an ending. He is doomed!"

Jia Xu shook his head with regret.

From Li Ru, he thought of himself.

"If I hadn't received the lord's recruitment and joined the lord back then, I might not have ended up with a good ending in the future, right?"

Jia Xu thought to himself.

The more he thought about it, the more he rejoiced that he had made the right choice.

Meeting the right person at the right time.

Therefore, opportunity and choice are both very important.

Ability is secondary.

"That's right!"

Jia Yi also nodded affirmatively: "With all this bad luck of his, the lord will never want him;"

"Moreover, he killed Liu Xie, and this world can no longer accommodate him;"

"Whoever takes him in will be unlucky and will have to bear the infamy of regicide."

No matter how you look at it, this is a losing business.

Even Su Xuan could not do such a thing.

Sure enough, Lu Bu heard the sound of fighting in the Ganlu Hall and was shocked.

He hurriedly spurred his horse toward the Ganlu Hall, only to see the scene of Wang Yun being killed.

At the same time, he also saw the scene where Liu Xie was already dead, and he froze on the spot: "What the hell is this situation? This is not in line with my expectations! It is also not in line with Su Boyuan's suggestions and plans! "

"What should I do next?"

Lu Bu's mind was blank at this moment.

Liu Xie was dead, Wang Yun was also dead, so where should he go from here?

Stay in Changancheng? Control Guanzhong?

He could already imagine that the news of him killing Dong Zhuo and the Son of Heaven dying would soon spread throughout Guanzhong and be known by many Xiliang Army generals.

How could these people let him go then?

And how could they sit by and watch him occupy Guanzhong?

By then, he would inevitably be surrounded by hundreds of thousands of troops.

Admittedly, he was very confident in his own strength.

But if he were to hold one place and fight against hundreds of thousands of troops, he would be exhausted to death.

"It seems I can only write to Su Boyuan later and ask for Su Boyuan's advice!"

Lu Bu thought to himself.

In any case, he himself was completely at a loss at this moment.

"Swish, swish, swish!"

Just then, many sounds of crossbow bolts breaking through the air rang out.

Lu Bu sensed a little danger, looked up, and saw Li Ru directing a group of death warriors holding crossbows to shoot at him.

"Hmph!"

Lu Bu let out a cold snort, urged his internal energy, and danced the Halberd of the Heavenly Heavens in his hand, easily sweeping away the incoming crossbow bolts.

"Kill!!"

Then, with a roar, he spurred his horse and killed toward Li Ru and the others.

"Clack, clack, clack!!"

These people, including Li Ru, had at most the cultivation of Dark Energy; how could they be Lu Bu's opponents?

In just one round of charging, they were all dealt with by Lu Bu.

Afterward, Lu Bu summoned the court officials in the city and informed them of the news that the Son of Heaven had been killed by Li Ru.

"What?"

For a time, these court officials only felt that the sky was dark and they could not accept this news at all.

But what could they do if they couldn't accept it?

The established fact was already before their eyes, and it was no longer up to them.

For a time, these court officials had different expressions.

"His Majesty has no heirs; who should be allowed to inherit the throne now?"

"We can only choose one from the Han clan relatives!"

"Now the world is in chaos, kings are rising together, and there are hundreds of thousands of Xiliang troops in Guanzhong eyeing us covetously. Once they know the news of Dong Zhuo's death, they will probably kill their way over at any time. Therefore, we cannot stay in Changancheng or Guanzhong; we must leave here."

"That's right! Therefore, we cannot just choose any relative to inherit the throne! It is best to choose one from the existing Liu family kings."

"Then there are only King of Shu Liu Zhang, King of Yan Liu Yu, and King of Wu Liu Biao. I favor Liu Biao."

"Heh! Liu Biao cannot even control Yangzhou, and there is a powerful warlord like Su Xuan next to him, and he is even constantly threatened by Sun Ce. I don't think he is a suitable candidate. I choose Liu Zhang! King of Shu Liu Zhang occupies the Yizhou of the land of abundance and masters the timing and geography; he is the most suitable candidate. Back then, Emperor Gaozu of Han, Liu Bang, also started from the land of Shu."

"Heh! I'm afraid you don't know that Liu Zhang is mediocre in talent? This person is not suitable at all. I think King of Yan Liu Yu has the best ability and character. I choose Liu Yu."

"I also choose Liu Yu!"

"I choose Liu Biao!"

"I choose Liu Zhang!"

"....."

For a time, these court officials were divided into three factions, each with their own choices, and no one could convince anyone else.
