254.Chapter 254

On the streets of Chang'an City, a beggar huddled in the corner, motionless.

The beggars around looked at the man with disdain on their faces. Even if they are beggars, they must have their own work ethic, at least begging everywhere every day, which is a necessary task for them.

The man huddled in the corner, for a month, hid there every day and remained motionless. Not only did he not go out to beg, but he also did not speak to other people.

If he hadn't been away for a while every night, everyone would have thought he was starving.

The beggar, he didn't have long to leave every day, but he always brought back something to eat. For this reason, there are many homeless people and beggars around, and they are full of greed for the food in the man's hand.

Wang Shishi watched the man eat the food in his hand, and couldn't help but lick his chapped lips with covetousness, and had an urge to grab the food.

However, whenever he remembered what happened that day, he couldn't help but feel a trace of fear in his heart.

He looked at the bamboo spear beside the beggar, and after all, fear prevailed over desire. He endured his hunger and did not dare to look at the beggar again.

When the beggar first came, there were quite a few people who had beaten him up on the idea of food.

But the beggar, who seemed to be thin, was extremely fierce. He used the rudimentary bamboo spear beside him to kill several beggars who wanted to steal his food in succession, and they all looked indifferent.

Since then, no one in this area has dared to hit his attention.

After all, the Han Empire now has countless displaced people.

As for the life or death of the beggar, no one cares. Those people were killed, either divided and eaten, or dragged away and eaten by wild dogs.

Wang Shishi thought in his heart: "That man doesn't know where to get food, but unfortunately this man is too fierce." Otherwise, the next time he goes out, I can follow him. ”

However, when I thought of the beggars who followed him, they were all heard from in the end. Wang Shishi's heart couldn't help but tremble again.

"Hey, when is this day going to be a head?"

At this time, Wang Shishi, who had been running for survival, couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

"Stomp, stomp!"

Suddenly, there was a sound of hurried footsteps, and several soldiers of the Xiliang Army, holding weapons, walked in the direction of these beggars.

When Wang Shishi saw this, he was horrified.

In this situation, when you meet Xiliangjun, as long as you are not a fool, you know what they are going to do.

Since Dong Zhuo was in power, there have been few beggars in Chang'an City. That's because almost all the beggars were killed by the Xiliang army.

Since Wang Yun and Lu Bu killed Dong Zhuo, Chang'an City has slowly gathered a lot of beggars.

But now, Wang Yun is dead, Lu Bu has broken through, and the entire Chang'an City has once again fallen into the hands of the Xiliang army.

Wang Shishi didn't know so many twists and turns, he only knew that every time he saw a soldier wearing this kind of armor, it would be a disaster for them beggars.

He had been in this situation twice before. Each time, he relied on his physical strength to escape with his life.

So the moment he saw Xiliang's soldiers, he hurriedly shouted: "Which people want to kill us so that they can serve as their battle exploits, everyone run away!" ”

Wang Shishi knew that only in the chaos could he distract those people's attention. Xi Liangjun's attention was distracted, and he was able to have a chance to escape with his life.

As for the lives and deaths of others, he didn't care. Because in this day and age, the least valuable thing is human life.

Wang Shishi got up and rushed to another intersection. But he didn't have to run a few steps before he had to stop, and began to step back step by step, with a look of fear on his face.

At another intersection, there were already some Xiliang soldiers, lined up. They showed their weapons with hideous smiles on their faces.

It seems that the Xiliang army has made up its mind to kill these beggars as a war exploit.

Looking at the Xiliang army with weapons, he slowly approached the beggars. Everyone felt the threat of death and a look of fear appeared on their faces.

The beggars all got up and looked at the Xiliang soldiers vigilantly. As long as these people start the slaughter, even if they are unarmed, they will not sit still.

Suddenly, the beggar, who had been curled up all this time, stood up with the bamboo spear in his hand.

The beggar nearby, who had seen the man's bravery, saw him get up, and his courage suddenly increased.

The current beggars far exceed the Xiliang army in terms of numbers. Although it is impossible to defeat these heavily armed soldiers, if you follow this strange man, you may be able to escape a few people.

Wang Shi was very clever, and ran directly behind the strange beggar and hid.

Ignoring the other people's reactions, the strange beggar took off the cloak that had been covering his head, and strode towards the Xiliang soldiers.

It was only then that Wang Shishi could see clearly the face of the strange beggar.

This person has a fair face and long hair, and he is a rare beautiful man. Those narrow, slender eyes, occasionally, would flash with wisdom.

"This man is definitely not a beggar!"

After seeing the strange man's white and ruddy face, Wang Shishi couldn't help but shout loudly in his heart.

The vast majority of beggars and homeless people have slew faces and vegetable. The face of this strange man is a pampered figure at a glance.

"How can such a person hide in a beggar's den?" In Wang Shishi's heart, he couldn't help but have a thick doubt.

Xiliang soldiers, when they saw that a beggar dared to walk towards them, a hideous look suddenly appeared on their faces. They were about to step forward and cut off the head, but the beggar on the other side suddenly spoke.

"Look at your armor, it should be Li Dao Li Zhiran's subordinates, right?"

Suddenly I heard a beggar, not only calling out their identity, but also knowing the name of their manager. For a while, these Xiliang soldiers were all taken aback.

One of the leaders, looking at the strange man warily, asked, "Who are you?" ”

"Hehehehehe!"

The weirdo laughed a few times, his voice a little hoarse.

He suddenly tore off the dirty cloak that was draped over his back, revealing his entire face.

The leader of Xiliang, seeing this somewhat familiar face, shouted loudly: "You are, you are a military advisor?" ”

When the strange man heard this, he couldn't help but smile on his face and said, "It's me!" ”

Hearing the man's affirmative reply, the leader of the Xiliang Army was even more shocked in his heart, and he stammered and asked, "Military Division, wasn't the Military Division killed by Li Suna?" ”

The strange man sighed slightly and said, "The one who died is just my stand-in." ”

The leader of the Xiliang Army, hearing this, no longer doubted, hurriedly knelt on the ground, and said, "The last general has seen the military division!" ”

"Strategist?" The strange man muttered a few words and laughed a little self-deprecatingly.

This strange beggar is none other than Li Ru, the chief strategist under Dong Zhuo's account.

A long time ago, he knew that Dong Zhuo would definitely be defeated, so he began to reserve a way back for himself.

He found a homeless man who looked like him and kept him at home. It wasn't until Li Su led someone to arrest Li Ru that he killed the man and gave his slave a fake head to Li Su.

As for Li Ru himself, he was hiding in the secret passage of his family.

If Li Su hadn't caught Li Ru, even if he dug three feet into the ground, he would have taken Li Ru away. On the contrary, after getting the fake Li Ru's head, Li Su would not do such a laborious thing again.

In this way, Li Ru escaped with his life. Then he put on makeup and became a beggar, wrapped himself tightly every day, and lived on the streets.

For a big man like Wang Yun, he doesn't care about street beggars at all.

Although Li Ru was only a scribe, he also learned fencing. So, dealing with a few malnourished beggars is not a problem.

The leader of the Xiliang Army, after seeing that Li Ru was not dead, was overjoyed. He knew his coach and definitely wanted Li Ru's help.

It can be said that without Li Ru, there would be no glory of Dong Zhuo and the Xiliang Army. Although Dong Zhuo did not explicitly appoint Li Ru as a military advisor, in the Xiliang Army, Li Ru was regarded as a military advisor.

Even the fierce generals of Xiliang such as Li Dao, Guo Yan, Zhang Ji, and Fan Chou all respect Li Ru.

Although Jia Xu's resourcefulness is not necessarily worse than Li Ru. But the current Jia Xu, in terms of prestige, is still very different from Li Ru.

The leader of the Xiliang Army had seen Li Ru from afar several times, and he himself admired Li Ru. That's why after recognizing Li Ru, I made this big gift to him.

Li Ru stepped forward, helped the leader of the Xiliang Army up, and said, "I'm just a lost dog now, how can I be such a general with such a big gift?" ”

The leader of the Xiliang Army said: "No matter what, you are the military advisor in my heart." ”

"If there is no plan of the military advisor, I am afraid that we will still be in the barren land of Xiliang, without three meals, and will be oppressed by corrupt officials and corrupt officials."

"It is precisely because of the military advisor that we can follow the Taishi, run rampant and domineering in the court, and enjoy all the glory and wealth."

When Li Ru heard this, he was both a little moved and a little bitter in his heart. He forced a smile and said: "The death of the Taishi is because I am incompetent!" ”

The leader of the Xiliang Army gritted his teeth and said: "The reason why Taishi died is precisely because of traitors like Lu Bu and Wang Yun, what does it have to do with the military advisor?" ”

"This time, we will break through Chang'an and kill Wang Yun. But let Lu Bu, a thief, escape, it's really hateful! ”

Li Ru had a conversation with the leader of the Xiliang Army, and looked at the beggars behind him with a look of fear on their faces.

He said to the leader of the Xiliang Army: "When I waited for that time, I was too high-flying and domineering, so I had the calamity ahead. ”

"Now that several generals have made a comeback, we naturally have to take this as a warning. These people are innocent people, I wonder if the general can look at my face and let them live? ”

The leader of the Xiliang Army, hearing Li Ru's words, replied without the slightest hesitation: "Since the military advisor spoke, how dare you disobey?" ”

"Now please ask the military advisor, come with me to wash up, and then meet the lord!"

"My lord?"

Li Ru muttered a few times in his heart, and shook his head imperceptibly.
