Looking at Zhao Yun with bloodshot eyes, Xiang Ji laughed heartily.
It really didn't disappoint me.
Yes, after a night of thinking, Zhao Yun finally rounded this corner.
Since his lord is a descendant of Xiang Yu, the overlord of Western Chu, he will naturally rebel.
But now the world is in chaos, and even without the Lord's participation, the Han Dynasty will probably perish.
Then this so-called emperor really doesn't matter.
My king is Xiang Ji, not that shitty emperor who I have never met before.
That being the case, why bother thinking so much?
Zhao Yun's knot in his heart was relieved, and Xiang Ji no longer had any worries.
Now, all we have to do is wait, wait for Dong Zhuo to retreat, and wait for a suitable opportunity to ambush him.
Just when Xiang Ji thought it would be difficult to find out the news after Pei Yuanshao left, Jia Xu, an old poisoner, once again brought him a surprise.
It turns out that this extremely insecure guy had already deployed many spies in Chang'an just to keep an eye on various trends in the market and the imperial court.
It's just that Xiang Yu's arrival was too sudden. Before his informants could react, Xiang Yu came directly to the door.
"My lord, after being reported by the secret sentry, some of the ministers set off first, and it seems that they are about to enter Chang'an now.
The main force led by Dong Zhuo has also retreated to the Hongnong area.
According to Xu's speculation, the young emperor should have retreated with Dong Zhuo."
Xiang Ji did not doubt Jia Xu's speculation.
After all, this is the emperor. If you were to replace yourself with Dong Zhuo, you would never trust him to take the first step.
Who knows what trouble the emperor and ministers would cause if they broke away from their eyes and entered Chang'an first.
It’s just that Hongnong...
Xiang Ji remembered that in history, it seemed that Cao Cao had pursued Dong Zhuo here, right?
So, has this happened now?
When he told Jia Xu about his guess, Jia Xu immediately took it seriously.
If Cao Cao really pursues Dong Zhuo, Dong Zhuo, who is eager to escape, will definitely leave behind his troops to stop Cao Cao.
As for the general leading the troops after the break, I am afraid it must be Lu Bu.
If Lu Bu was not in Dong Zhuo's army, the difficulty of assassination would be greatly reduced.
After making a detailed plan, Xiang Ji finally decided and set off one day later, rushing to the Hongnong area to find the ambush location.
If it is discovered that Lu Bu is really not in the army, then there is nothing to say, just rush forward and kill the target.
What Xiang Ji didn't expect was that on the last day of his stay in Chang'an, some unexpected changes happened.
Originally, Jia Xu accompanied Xiang Ji to browse the streets and alleys of Chang'an, but he never expected that the Huns would attack at this time.
In fact, this has nothing to do with Xiang Ji. This is not the first time that the Xiongnu robbed Chang'an.
Basically, they just grab some food and money, and then they leave after grabbing a few women.
But what he never expected was that when the Huns cavalry were snatching a carriage not far from him, something unexpected happened.
As Dong Zhuo's most valued minister, Cai Yong would naturally take his family to Chang'an first.
Today is the day when Cai Yong came to Chang'an with his daughter Cai Yan.
Unexpectedly, as soon as we entered the city, we encountered Huns plundering us.
Even though he had a bodyguard, he was not afraid. After all, the Huns also bullied the weak and feared the strong, and usually only robbed some people's property.
But he never thought that Cai Yan had never encountered such a situation. When he saw the Huns killing people in the street, he immediately screamed out in shock.
But this noise immediately attracted the attention of the Huns.
One of the Xiongnu leaders at that time was Liu Bao, the eldest son of Shan Yu. Because he admired the culture of the Han Dynasty, he deliberately gave himself a Han Dynasty name.
When he saw Cai Yan's appearance, he was immediately shocked.
As a nation of robbers, if you see a beauty you like, what else is there to say, just grab her.
Liu Bao thought so and did so.
Ignoring the guards around Cai Yong, he directly led the tribal warriors to kill him. In a few rounds, he defeated all the weak Han guards.
Originally, all this had nothing to do with Xiang Ji. After all, they were so far away and he couldn't see clearly who was being robbed.
But when Cai Yan was tied up, the Jiaowei Qin in his hand accidentally fell to the ground.
Naturally, the Huns robbers didn't understand what it was, so they didn't care at all. They just tied up the beauty and left with satisfaction.
But when Xiang Ji and others came closer, Jia Xu, who had been silent all this time, suddenly screamed.
"Jiaoweiqin!?
Mr. Cai Yong Cai?
Could it be that the one who was taken away just now was your daughter Wenji?"
Attracted by Jiao Weiqin, Jia Xu recognized Cai Yan's father.
Looking at Cai Yong who looked miserable and delirious, Jia Xu, as a scholar, could only comfort him.
But Xiang Ji beside him was no longer calm.
What did this old poisoner say just now? Cai Yong? Jiao Weiqin? Wen Ji?
Damn it! So wasn’t it Cai Wenji who was snatched away just now?
Xiang Ji suddenly remembered that there was indeed a period in history when Cai Wenji was plundered by the Huns and became the wife of King Zuo Xian.
Damn it!
You know, Cai Wenji is a beauty from the Three Kingdoms that Xiang Ji has always been very interested in.
It’s okay if you don’t see this happen. Now that you’ve bumped into it, what else can you say?
"Zilong, you stay to protect Mr. Wenhe."
After leaving a word to Zhao Yun beside him, Xiang Ji turned around and ran towards Jia Xu's home.
Is it possible not to run? The weapons and horses are all at his house.
You can't let me retreat on two legs and chase someone else's four legs, right?
I just hope that those Huns bandits will not escape too fast, my Cai Wenji!
Xiang Ji was anxious, very anxious.
This is not only because I covet Cai Wenji’s beauty, but also because I don’t want to leave any regrets.
You know, Cai Wenji was plundered by the Xiongnu, but she left an eternal regret.
Now that there is a chance to change this tragedy, Xiang Ji will naturally risk his life.
He quickly picked up his weapon, mounted the white dragon Xiang Yu and rushed out.
As for armor? Who has the time to wear armor at this time?
If he didn't catch up with Cai Wenji because he wore armor, I'm afraid Xiang Ji would regret it for the rest of his life.
When Xiang Ji rode the white dragon and flew out of the city gate, Cai Yong had also recovered some of his sanity.
"Wen He, don't lie to me. Can this warrior really find his little girl?"
When Cai Yong heard Jia Xu tell Xiang Ji to rescue Cai Wenji, the old man's already desperate heart was suddenly illuminated by the light of hope again.
"Of course, Wenhe's lord is the strongest man in the world."
Seeing Xiang Yu's figure galloping out on horseback, Jia Xu said proudly.
