On the road leading to Luoyang, Dong Zhuo suddenly asked Liu Cheng if he was a descendant of the royal family.
Hearing Dong Zhuo ask this question, many people present felt something flicker in their hearts, as if they had realized something.
"I am the great-great-grandson of His Excellency Emperor Xiaojing, the Queen of Zhongshan Jing. My surname is Liu Mingcheng, and my given name... has not been named yet."
There was something strange about someone next to him, but Liu Cheng didn't feel anything strange at all. He immediately reported his family background in a very cheerful and confident voice.
Ever since he said the words of Prince Jing of Zhongshan to others, he had no other choice in terms of his life experience and could only go down one path.
Even if the person standing opposite is Dong Zhuo, it still won't work!
Dong Zhuo thought hard and finally went through all the princes surnamed Liu he knew in his mind, but he never thought of who Prince Jing of Zhongshan was.
"My father-in-law, Prince Jing of Zhongshan, was the son of Emperor Jing of the former Han Dynasty and the brother of Emperor Wu. It has been three hundred years since then."
Seeing his father-in-law muttering, Li Ru, who was standing not far away, immediately stepped forward and whispered.
Dong Zhuo understood what was said and couldn't help laughing: "Your bullshit doctor is of some use, much better than that stupid cow!"
Li Ru quickly defended with a smile: "Father-in-law, that... doctor is not bullshit."
Over there, Niu Fu, who was sighing in relief and happy for Liu Cheng's draw with Lu Bu, and winking at Lu Bu to provoke him, was unexpectedly named by his father-in-law. His expression turned bitter, and he immediately shook his head.
He shrank, and then when Dong Zhuo wasn't paying attention, he glared at Li Ru, his brother-in-law.
Although Li Ru's voice when he reported to Dong Zhuo was deliberately lowered, many people still heard it.
Lu Bu and many of Dong Zhuo's guards all showed some smiles.
It turns out that the Han clan clan of the person in front of me is the Han clan clan of the former Han Dynasty!
It’s been hundreds of years since now!
The former Han Dynasty was overthrown by the new dynasty established by that guy Wang Mang. Now the people sitting on the throne are not of direct blood...
It turns out that you are lucky, now you actually announced such a name, and said it so loudly, with a proud and natural look on your face, as if you were afraid that others would not know.
He's quite a match for the man named Liu Bei and Liu Xuande!
Could it be that the descendants of Prince Jing of Zhongshan are all so shameless?
Dong Zhuo also smiled and said: "I didn't expect that after so many years, Prince Jing of Zhongshan would actually have such a promising person!"
"The young warrior has such martial arts skills and such a background, I will definitely put him to good use!"
Dong Zhuo said this aloud.
Then he fell into deep thought, obviously thinking about what official position would be appropriate for Liu Cheng.
"Oh, by the way, did the young warrior bring Cao Cao's head?"
After thinking like this for a while, Dong Zhuo did not mention the reward for Liu Cheng. Instead, he seemed to have remembered something and asked Liu Cheng.
It was only now that Dong Zhuo thought about Cao Cao's head.
Liu Cheng responded, then turned around and came to the team, took two boxes wrapped in cloth from his horse, took them to Dong Zhuo, opened them, and revealed two heads.
"This is the head of Cao Cao, the rebel, and the head of Chen Gong, the magistrate of Zhongmu County, who abandoned his official post with the rebel."
Liu Cheng pointed to the two pickled heads and introduced them to Dong Zhuo.
Dong Zhuo nodded, bent down and reached out to take out Cao Cao's head from the box, held it in front of his eyes and looked at it carefully for a while, then said with a smile: "Mengde, you're fine!"
Liu Cheng, who was standing on the side, trembled for no reason when he heard Dong Zhuo's words, and quickly turned his attention to Cao Cao's head in Dong Zhuo's hand.
He actually wanted to see if Cao Cao would suddenly open his eyes and look at Dong Zhuo.
Facts have proved that Liu Cheng was overthinking. It was impossible for Cao Cao, whose head had been beheaded for several days and pickled, to open his eyes.
Even if this guy Dong Zhuo pulled Cao Cao's hair with his hands, faced Cao Cao with a proud smile, and spoke to him in a frivolous tone, Cao Cao didn't react at all and didn't want to talk to Dong Zhuo at all.
Sure enough, everything in "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" is a lie!
Liu Cheng, who wanted to see Cao Cao open his eyes and scare Dong Zhuo to his knees, was a little disappointed, and muttered about Luo Guanzhong, a guy who didn't need a lot of common sense just for the sake of pleasure.
"Cao Cao once served as a Cavalry Commander, and Bao Xin also served as a Cavalry Commander, but he gave up his position and left. My son Fengxian also served as a Cavalry Commander before, and now he has reached the rank of Zhonglang General. Now he is a young warrior.
After killing Cao Cao and gaining good martial arts skills, how about becoming the Cavalry Commander?"
Dong Zhuo held Cao Cao's head and looked at it for a while, spoke to Cao Cao's head for a while, threw it into the box, smiled and said to Liu Cheng, asking.
Liu Chengcai has not been in this world for too long, and he does not know much about the official positions of this era. His predecessor was just an ordinary pig-killing boy, and it is impossible for him to have any understanding of these things.
However, Dong Zhuo heard that Cao Cao, Emperor Wu of Wei in another time and space, and Bao Xin, the relatively famous Prime Minister of Jibei in the early period of the Three Kingdoms, and the man in front of him who had just fought against him, could not defeat him and could only fight against him.
Lü Bu, who was puffing his beard and staring blankly, had also served as a Cavalry Commander. Facing this Cavalry Commander, he had a clearer understanding in his heart. He knew that Dong Zhuo's attack this time should be extraordinary.
"The title of Captain of the Cavalry is two thousand stones!"
Li Ru, who was standing next to Dong Zhuo, couldn't help being stunned after hearing Dong Zhuo's appointment and looked towards Dong Zhuo.
Because as early as when Cao Cao was wanted, Dong Zhuo had mentioned rewards for those who captured Cao Cao.
Basically, it is just to give a title with no real power and a generous bounty. The real power position is only a county captain of 600 shi at most.
As a result, now, his father-in-law directly gave the man in front of him the man who captured and killed Cao Cao, a cavalry captain with two thousand dan!
From a lowly 600-stone county captain to the current 2,000-stone officer, this improvement is not just a slight improvement, it is simply a qualitative leap!
However, Li Ru quickly understood the reason why his father-in-law did this, and he felt extremely satisfied that his father-in-law did this!
The man in front of him is not weaker than Lu Bu in combat power, and judging from some information obtained, his family background is not good.
If he had something to sell, he wouldn't be acting as a front here at this time with his identity as Queen Jing of Zhongshan.
It would be great to be able to win over such a person to your advantage!
It was precisely because of this that Li Ru took the initiative to explain after seeing that Liu Cheng didn't seem to understand much about the position of Cavalry Commander mentioned by his father-in-law.
The purpose is to make Liu Cheng realize how rare the position of Cavalry Commander is and how much his father-in-law values him, so that he can better win over him.
