The revival of the Han Dynasty must start with Dong Zhuo

Chapter 323 Volume Worship
"Your Majesty, why do you want to... again?"

Cai Yan also bit her lip, as if she didn't know what to say.

"It was a sudden decision. This battle will be fought sooner or later, it's just brought forward a little bit."

But for some reason, Liu Xie no longer had the calmness and toughness he had just when facing the court officials. Instead, he felt a little embarrassed and uneasy.

"Now that Kanto has not yet recovered, we must..."

Liu Xie was about to explain, but suddenly stopped.

He remembered that Dong Bai actually didn't like to hear these.

While Liu Xie was thinking about how to explain to Dong Bai, Sun Shangxiang also jumped off the stage and came to Liu Xie.

"Your Majesty, are you going to war?"

Before Liu Xie could figure out how to explain to Dong Bai, he nodded slightly and responded to Sun Shangxiang first.

"The world is not at peace yet. As the Son of Heaven, I must fight this war so that future generations will no longer suffer from the flames of war."

Sun Shangxiang’s eyes suddenly opened wide!

"Your Majesty, are you going to be a hero?"

"...So be it."

Sun Shangxiang was even more excited now!
"Queen! Queen! Did you hear that? His Majesty is going to be a hero!"

As a child, Sun Shangxiang always didn't quite understand some things.

"Your Majesty, my brother is also a hero. You can ask him to help you fight!"

……

Mrs. Wu, who knew the inside story, suddenly looked panicked. She quickly stepped forward to cover Sun Shangxiang's mouth and apologized to the emperor.

"nothing."

Liu Xie looked at the heroic Sun Shangxiang and said, "You may not know that Sun Ce may also be involved in this battle."

"But if he participates, he will most likely betray me and become my enemy."

Mrs. Wu's face turned pale, while Sun Shangxiang tilted her head, seeming unable to understand this.

"Sun Ce is a hero, but there are countless heroes in this world, but there can only be one winner."

Seeing that Madam Wu was already trembling with fear, Liu Xie did not continue the conversation. Instead, he comforted her, "Don't worry, the disaster will not affect your family."

"No matter what Sun Ce's position is in this war, I will not implicate you."

"But if possible, I would like to trouble Madam to write a few more letters to Sun Ce in the near future, so that he can turn back from his wrong path and not do anything that will make him regret it."

Mrs. Wu knew very well what her husband and son had done.

Now the emperor is still kind to me and the rest of the Sun family, which is already a great favor.

It’s just writing a few letters to Sun Ce, which is naturally not a big deal.

Therefore, Madam Wu bowed directly to Liu Xie.

"Your Majesty, although I claim to be a good teacher, I definitely did not teach my children to betray the king and the country."

"This time, when I write to Bo Fu, I will explain in the letter that I will urge him to return Jingzhou as soon as possible. After that, he will concentrate on defending the land for Your Majesty and will not have any other thoughts."

"Otherwise, I will commit suicide on the spot and no longer acknowledge him as my son! I will just regard him as an unfilial son who forced his mother to death!"

Mrs. Wu's strong will made Liu Xie look at her with a higher regard.

But Liu Xie didn't say much.

Although the imperial court had already made military preparations to deal with Sun Ce's sudden rebellion, it would indeed save a lot of effort if Madam Wu were to come forward to suppress Sun Ce.

"Then I'll trouble you, ma'am."

……

Sun Shangxiang looked at the emperor with her bright eyes, then looked at her mother, and seemed a little confused.

"Your Majesty..."

"His Majesty."

Just when Sun Shangxiang wanted the emperor to continue to explain to her why heroes would fight heroes, Dong Bai in Liu Xie's arms suddenly raised her head.

Liu Xie thought Dong Bai would also cry bitterly this time.

But when he looked up, although Dong Bai's lively eyes were filled with red veins, no tears fell.

"Your Majesty, can you accompany me to a place?"

Liu Xie nodded.

"There is still some time before we set out on the expedition. I will accompany you wherever Bai wants to go."

"No, it's just one place, and you can go there now."

Now?

Liu Xie looked at the sky and agreed to this.

After changing into casual clothes, Dong Bai kept holding Liu Xie's hand and never let go once.

After leaving the palace, we walked through the streets and alleys and gradually approached the west.

"Bai wants to go shopping?"

"Ah."

Arrived at the market.

Dong Bai went to several shops in a row.

Looking at the things Dong Bai bought, Liu Xie suddenly understood where Dong Bai was going.

While buying things, Dong Bai held Liu Xie's hand tightly, which made everyone who saw this scene smile knowingly, thinking that they were a couple in love.

Some of them couldn't help but comment on Dong Bai's behavior, but Dong Bai pretended not to hear.

Until I passed by a shop and heard someone inside cursing, "You know what? The emperor is going to send out troops!"

"We've only had a few days of good times, why are you sending troops again?"

"That's right. We haven't even collected any food! What if we lose?"

"I heard that the imperial court had no intention of using military force recently, but the emperor insisted on having his own way, so he moved the time to now. If we lose, I'm afraid we can't blame anyone else..."

Dong Bai was holding Liu Xie's hand. When he heard the other party's words, he glared at him and rushed into the shop uncontrollably.

"Snapped!"

Liu Xie lightly hit Dong Bai on the head with his knife: "Don't blame them, I did it on purpose."

Dong Bai bared his teeth, obviously still wanting to go in and argue.

"They don't believe me. Even Bai doesn't believe me?"

Liu Xie's words made Dong Bai pause, but he ultimately did not go in.

Dong Bai, who was sulking, walked very fast and pulled Liu Xie towards the outside of the city.

"It is indeed here."

Liu Xie looked at the looming building and confirmed his guess.

Ancestral hall. To be more precise, it is Dong Bai's ancestral temple.

The things Dong Bai bought in the market just now were also things for sacrificial offerings.

But when he got close to Dong Bai's shrine, Liu Xie was slightly stunned.

The simple ancestral hall of the past has now changed greatly.

The courtyard, which was originally built with rammed earth, was finally covered with bricks and tiles.

Many trees are planted around the ancestral hall, making this place less monotonous.

but……

Liu Xie didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "How can one worship oneself? And how can one worship one's own wife? Even if Bai wanted to burn incense and pray for me, he should have found some other place, right?"

But Dong Bai was still angry and said, "Just come with me to worship!"

Nowadays, there are actually not many people coming to the ancestral temple to worship.

After entering the ancestral hall, Liu Xie discovered that although the outside had changed greatly, the ugly clay sculpture inside had not been replaced.

He glanced at Dong Bai, but Dong Bai seemed not to see anything and just pulled Liu Xie to the back.

"Huh? Why is there such a large area behind this ancestral hall? Could it be the residence of the person who presides over the ceremony? Isn't this a little too big?"

Just when Liu Xie was surprised, he suddenly saw a stone tablet.

"Sacrifice to Han Grand Master Dong Zhuo."

……

Liu Xie looked inside and found that there was indeed a ancestral hall at the back.

Slightly dazed.

"When did it happen? How come I don't know?"

"I told the people here the last time I came here."

Dong Bai speaks frankly.

"Grandfather and I came here together."

"He was very happy when he saw the ugly clay sculpture in front of him."

“So I didn’t change and stayed.”

"If my grandfather came back and saw me, he would recognize me and live here."

Dong Bai pulled Liu Xie into the ancestral hall behind and then started laughing.

After Liu Xie looked up, he couldn't help laughing.

The clay sculpture of Dong Zhuo and the previous clay sculpture of Dong Bai are really indistinguishable.

It's a chubby lump, and its facial features are all drawn together, which looks very pleasing.

"Was this Shiro's idea?"

"Ok!"

Dong Bai seems to be very proud, but she has reason to be proud.

“I made this myself!”

After placing the tribute he had just purchased on the table, Dong Bai knelt on the straw mat in front of the clay sculpture and closed his eyes.

He clasped his hands together, looked very pious, and muttered something.

Seeing this, Liu Xie also knelt beside Dong Bai.

When Dong Bai finished reading and opened his eyes, he was a little surprised to see Liu Xie kneeling beside him.

"Why is your majesty kneeling?"

"If you want to make a wish, you should be sincere."

"What did your majesty wish for?"

"What wish did you make in vain?"

Dong Bai looked into Liu Xie's eyes and said, "I asked my grandfather to bless me so that I can eat without getting fat!"

"Hiss! This wish is quite good...but are you sure that the Grand Master can fulfill this wish?"

"..."

Dong Bai looked at the chubby clay sculpture of Dong Zhuo in frustration, then he realized that he seemed to have asked the wrong person for help.

"My second wish is to make me smarter and not be lectured by Master Cai and Sister Zhaoji all the time."

Ok……

It is still a good wish, but Liu Xie feels that it is too much to ask Dong Zhuo to do it.

"The third wish..."

Dong Bai reached out and held Liu Xie's hand again.

Although there was no speech at this moment, after seeing Dong Bai's eyes, Liu Xie knew what she wanted to say.

Just a light smile.

"Don't worry, Grand Master has always liked me. Even if I don't fulfill your two wishes, I will fulfill your third wish."

"Maybe when I come back, you will become fat and stupid. But you can't blame me then, because..."

"It's ok!"

……

Just then, Dong Bai interrupted Liu Xie.

"It doesn't matter. As long as His Majesty can come back, it doesn't matter if he becomes fat and stupid."

But Dong Bai was a little worried.

"Your Majesty, if I really become fat and stupid, will Your Majesty dislike me?"

Liu Xie was stunned for a long time, then he smiled and chopped Dong Bai's head again with his knife.

"You are not as fat and stupid as I said. When have I ever disliked you?"

?

Dong Bai was a little annoyed. How could he be fat? !

But when he was not paying attention and glanced down casually, he found that he could not even see the straw mat under him, and he reluctantly acknowledged this reality.

"What is your majesty's wish?"

Liu Xie touched Dong Bai's head and said, "I am not so greedy for nothing. I only made a wish to the Grand Master."

"What wish?"

"Keep it secret!"

"Humph!"
