As night fell, the lights inside and outside the palace were transparent, and Zhang Liao inspected the city wall.

The iron cavalry under his command all came from Bingzhou and had never been left in the palace. In their minds, the palace was undoubtedly the most sacred and inviolable place. Now he suddenly had to stay in the palace and could not accept it for a while, and he felt very nervous and frightened.

Zhang Liao understood everyone's thoughts, and this is why he appeared in front of everyone. It is obvious how short-sighted and ignorant Liu Laolao was when she entered the Grand View Garden.

Everyone's mentality was even worse than that of Liu Laolao. After all, the palace under her feet was the place where the emperor lived and the power center of this great empire.

Everyone put all their imagination into consideration and could not believe that they would stand in the palace one day, let alone shoulder the mission of guarding the emperor.

Only after experiencing this thing can you accept it with peace of mind. Such a huge change will happen suddenly. It would be strange if you can accept it in your heart.

When Zhang Liao stood in the palace, he was inevitably in a state of great excitement, not to mention the soldiers under his command, they must have thoughts flying in their hearts and could not calm their minds.

After a round of inspections, Zhang Liao returned to the small hall where he temporarily lived.

Gao Shun and Cheng Lian were still standing on the palace wall, intending to share the joys and sorrows with everyone, and to stabilize the morale of the army to the greatest extent possible while preparing to prevent problems before they happen.

When Li Ru came alone to visit, Zhang Liao came forward to greet him.

After taking care of each other, Li Ru took the initiative to quip: "Who are you guarding against when Zhang is a brave soldier under his command?"

"I'm timid, I'll just give myself a sigh." Zhang Liao said without any worries: "Wenyou must have something important to come here. Could it be to convey General Dong's order?"

Zhang Liao knew that Li Ru was a wise man, so he was too lazy to be careless about him.

Now the relationship between him and Dong Zhuo is tense. As for whom he is clear about is there, there is no need to explain it specifically.

Zhang Liao wanted to get to the point, but Li Ru didn't want Zhang Liao's idea to succeed.

Li Ru stared at Zhang Liao and said carelessly: "I am the same as Wenyuan's idea, and I am also quite timid. In addition to being timid, I have the illusion that a local bun fell into the Golden Palace, and all the eyes were temptations."

"Why is this the case?" Zhang Liao asked knowingly.

Li Ru smiled and said, "There is a soldier under General Dong. He looked at a bronze bell and said in a daze. Why do you want to cast copper coins into such a big thing as a decoration? Wouldn't it be better to replace them with grain and store them in the granary?"

Zhang Liao smiled and smiled: "It's normal that such a thing happens. After all, everyone is a person with shallow knowledge. They always use their own ideas to guess things that cannot be understood. It will inevitably become a joke in the eyes of others."

"In the eyes of Zhang Chengshi, is it also a joke?"

Li Ru asked with a narrow expression: "Does Zhang Congshi also think he is a person with a shallow knowledge?"

Zhang Liao did not expect that Li Ru would refute this way, so he had to smile bitterly: "The same is true for my soldiers. Although I don't want to admit that I don't want to belittle my soldiers, some soldiers don't know a big word and don't understand the truth. Seeing something I've never seen in my dream will naturally make some jokes."

"The city of Luoyang is full of scholars, and all his ancestors were officials in the Liu family, and even famous people of aristocratic dynasties from a longer time. In the eyes of self-proclaimed moral gentlemen, people from border counties like us who are humble from mud legs are mud legs. The contempt and despise of us cannot be described by what I have learned."

Li Ru sighed with emotion, as if he planned to talk to Zhang Liao about life, but he had no mission.

Zhang Liao was speechless. He knew that Li Ru was right, but he had his own pride. In terms of knowledge and experience, who can compare with him in the world?

Li Ru can take it seriously if he occasionally makes polite tricks, but he is really unintentional to blame him.

He simply stopped accepting Li Ru's words, but he wanted to take a look at what else could Li Ru make cynical words?

"General Dong warned Zhang Enshi in person, saying that one mountain cannot withstand two tigers?"

There was no look of anger on Li Ru's face, as if the person who was just talking nonsense was not him, and his face was so quick that it was shocking.

Zhang Liao smiled bitterly, saying that he was a smart person who was good at wiseness. Seeing that he did not intend to flatter those unnutritious words of emotion, he immediately stopped mentioning those topics but went straight to the topic and began to express his purpose in this trip.

"In front of General Dong, there is no right to be a tiger." Zhang Liao knew his identity and status very well. When it was time to keep a low profile, he naturally had to hide his weaknesses. He could only endure it again and again before provoking.

"I still know myself, but now I have two threats to General Dong, so I'm afraid you will resist desperately."

Li Ru gave an objective evaluation, and then said with praise: "You have to stay in the palace by your Majesty's will. The only smart thing is to avoid contact with Your Majesty, so that General Dong becomes the only close minister around Your Majesty."

Zhang Liao expressed his opinion: "I have thin arms and legs, and I have no big ambitions. I just want to be a senior official and a half-time job to glorify my ancestors."

"Zhang has a grove in his heart and has his own plans. I claim to be smart but I can't see through your personality and ambitions."

Li Ru bluntly said: "You and General Dong accept Your Majesty's order to guard the palace. You know that you are only resident at the palace gate. First, you don't want to and dare not compete with General Dong. Second, you will do your duty and obey Your Majesty's orders, knowing that you are in a difficult situation, but you will do your duty, wander among all forces with ease, and take on unique contributions with a weak body."

Zhang Liao was stunned and pointed at himself and asked incrediblely: "Are you talking about me? After hearing what you said, I don't even know myself."

"Haha!!" Li Ru smiled strangely and retorted: "Don't think that everyone in the world is a fool. You are gentle on the surface like a harmless sheep. I'm sure you must have the ambition of a tiger in your heart and be as cunning as a fox."

"Wenyou, Wenyou, don't scare me. Please tell me if General Dong has any instructions." Zhang Liao urged in a furious manner.

Li Ru's expression was retracted and said, "Zhang must leave the palace."

Zhang Liao revealed his thoughts and said, "I requested to work in a foreign county. I heard that the Yellow Turban Army in Xihe County is frequent and I am willing to wipe out the Yellow Turban Army in Baibo Valley."

Li Ru asked tentatively: "What is the position of prefect of Xihe County?"

"If this can be done, I will be very lucky." Zhang Liaoshu was grateful.

"Tomorrow, the negotiations will definitely make Zhang work as he wishes." Li Ru made a promise with confidence.

Zhang Liao did not dare to be greedy for excessiveness, and it was enough to be able to dominate a county.
