Hu Biao was not a very well-educated person. His father worked as a laborer in the port when he was young. With his thin shoulders, he was able to raise Hu Biao to adulthood.

Growing up in an environment like the port, Hu Biao has long been accustomed to being brave and fierce, and he often has to fight for his life just for a job.

On one occasion, Hu Biao's clever method of fighting people in the water was seen by a captain of the Jingzhou Navy who was passing by here, and he immediately adopted it for his own use.

Hu Biao went out for three years. When he came back, he had already obtained a considerable official position. He led 500 people to build a water fortress on the edge of the Yellow River, which is now the Hujiapu.

The reason why Hu Biao dared to build a fortress here was entirely because he had someone above him. The location of Hu's Fort is close to Sanmenxia in later generations. Friends who have read the map should know that to the north of Sanmenxia is the Salt Lake known as China's Dead Sea.

Salt is an indispensable and important material. As long as we can control the mining rights of the salt lake, it will not be like thousands of taels of gold.

The people above Hu Biao are said to be from Luoyang, and even the current governor of Hedong County must show courtesy to Hu Biao when he meets him.

Because of this, Hu Biao was rampant in the local area. For some local prominent families, he would win over those he could win over, and he would not look down upon those who could not.

In the past, the Wei family was just a relatively famous local family in Hu Biao's eyes. If he really wanted to deal with it, his five hundred warriors from Hujiapu could wipe out the Wei family.

However, when he learned that Bingzhou Mu Dong Zhuo did not go to Luoyang, but came to Hedong with a large army, he panicked.

He didn't know much about the situation between North Korea and China. He only knew that the people above him had not given him new instructions for a long time. Half a month ago, he found out that the person in charge of the situation now was General He Jin.

He Jin was a relative and could not urinate in the same pot as the eunuchs. It's better to die, the person above Hu Biao is a big eunuch, which makes him have to find a way out for himself.

After Dong Zhuo entered the territory of Anyi, Hu Biao sent people to watch him all the way.

It wasn't until he was sure that Dong Zhuo had entered the Wei family mansion that he began to think about his future.

Hu Biao was no stranger to Dong Zhuo. When he went out with the nobles, he had met Dong Zhuo once in Jingzhou. At that time, Dong Zhuo was not a state pastor, but a brave and capable school captain.

He had heard about Dong Zhuo's deeds. He was from a humble background like him, but he single-handedly became the pastor of a state, pastoring the state on behalf of the emperor. What an honor it was.

It can be said that Dong Zhuo is his idol Hu Biao.

Now that his idol was not far away, Hu Biao wanted to visit, but he couldn't find a good reason.

"Master General, this man is either greedy for money or lustful. It is said that Dong Zhuo is a man who is eager for justice and regards money as dirt, so he can't escape the word lust. Let's do this... It just so happens that I recently got a Virgin, hehe."

There were many dog-headed military advisors around Hu Biao, and the man who spoke was one of them. He mainly helped him run several kilns. He was a rare talent. After all, there were very few people in this era who could read and write.

When Hu Biao heard this, he immediately felt that it was feasible to use oneself to save others. He was lustful and felt that Dong Zhuo was the same.

"Okay, okay, how is the quality of the virgin? Come and bring it to me to see."

The dog-headed military advisor was startled when he heard this, and said awkwardly: "This person hasn't been delivered yet. Tomorrow, at noon tomorrow, I promise to clean him up and bring him to your presence."

Hu Biao frowned slightly. He wanted to scold him a few words, but after thinking about it, he decided to forget it. As long as he could get close to Dong Zhuo, these people would have to be killed one by one to avoid ruining his reputation.

The shadow of a person's famous tree. During the Three Kingdoms period, a person's reputation was more important than anything else.

He doesn't want to be stained with these bad reputations...

at the same time.

Dong Zhuo has been welcomed into the mansion by Wei Hao to rest.

Wei Hao was a great scholar of the time and was not very fond of Dong Zhuo, so he asked his adopted son Wei Gong to come forward to receive him.

As for the eldest son Wei Qian, he has returned to take office.

In the hall, Wei Gong clasped his fists and saluted: "Sir Zhou Mu, please rest for a while. Food will be delivered shortly. If there is anything wrong with the reception, please forgive me."

Dong Zhuo cupped his fists and returned the greeting: "Uncle Wen, you're so polite. I'm just on my way to the south this time. After completing the task entrusted by my friend, I have to rush to Beijing. It's just a pity that I couldn't meet Brother Zhongdao."

Wei Gong smiled awkwardly. The second lady was sent back to her parents' home just a few days ago. At this time, the master was still angry.

As for Wei Cheng, he hid in the deep mountains and forests for unknown reasons, and it was hard for him to explain too much.

Emiya said goodbye and left.

Dong Zhuo sat opposite the Xiongnu Zuoxian King disguised as a Han.

King Zuo Xian frowned and said, "Brother Dong, this Wei family doesn't seem to want to see me, and they don't seem to welcome Miss Cai back when she comes back, especially Wei Zhongdao, who actually hides away from people, hum."

King Zuo Xian has been admiring Cai Yan ever since he met Cai Yan. At this time, seeing his sweetheart being ignored was even more uncomfortable than being ignored himself.

When Dong Zhuo heard this, his thick eyebrows raised slightly. He naturally felt the unusual atmosphere of the Wei family.

However, this is a family matter after all. Cai Yan is the daughter-in-law of the Wei family that Ming Media is marrying. Now that she is married to the Wei family, only she can judge how to deal with herself, and no outsider can interfere.

"Okay, okay, let's take a break after dinner and let's leave quickly." Dong Zhuo said angrily.

The food prepared by Wei was quite exquisite, and the wine was the best soju. After a few glasses of wine, both of them felt a little dizzy.

The desert is no better than the Central Plains. If you want to drink such good wine on weekdays, you can only buy it at a high price from the merchants. Not to mention that the drink is not enough, and you often encounter fake wine mixed with water.

Unlike the wine provided by Weishi, it is mellow and rich. This is the real good wine. Even King Zuo Xian, who had never forgotten Cai Yan, was drinking so hard that his face was red and he was mumbling nonsense.

After three rounds of drinking, I suddenly felt the urge to urinate.

Dong Zhuo stood up and walked outside the door, asked where the latrine was, and wandered towards the side yard.

Passing by a rockery and green bamboo land, I suddenly heard a conversation between two people.

"The second master said that He Jin will die. From now on, the eunuchs in the court will still have the final say. Isn't the career of us scholars in doubt?"

"Who says otherwise? Let me tell you, not only He Jin deserves death, but all those eunuchs should also die cleanly."

"It's a pity that the second master seems to only attack He Jin..."

"That's hard to say. I heard what Uncle Wen said. What the Second Master means is that if He Jin dies, there will be chaos in the court. Doesn't He Jin have a younger brother, He Miao? He will definitely avenge He Jin. This person's behavior They are extremely radical and may kill anyone on sight, so we are asked to leave Kyoto to avoid trouble."

"The second master's move is really clever. It's a typical killing with a borrowed knife. If He Jin dies, He Miao will definitely think that it was the eunuch. When the time comes, not only will the officials suffer, but maybe even the Queen Mother and the Emperor will die. From now on, this world will belong to our clan again... …”

"Ahem, don't talk nonsense like this. The emperor's grace is so great that we still point to the emperor to reuse him so that we can stand out."

"Yes, haha...who is there?"

Dong Zhuo was startled when he heard this and hurriedly turned around and walked around the Moon Cave Gate.

When the two people who were talking came to the place where he had just stood, they could see nothing but a pool of liquid on the ground.

The young man in a shirt frowned, looked at the urine on the ground, and comforted himself: "It's urine, it should be the concierge's dog that ran away again."
