"Your subordinate obeys!!"
Upon hearing that the emperor had ordered him to return to Liangzhou, Dong Zhuo did not hesitate. He immediately turned and left the main tent, then arranged for his soldiers to prepare to return to Liangzhou.
The soldiers under his command didn't say anything. They had been away for so long, and it was indeed time to go back. After all, Liangzhou was their home!
While his men were busy packing their belongings, Dong Zhuo found himself drawn to Lü Zhen's room.
Hearing Lü Zhen's laughter coming from inside the room, Dong Zhuo hesitated for a moment before pushing open the door and going in.
At this moment, Lü Zhen was lying on the bed, wandering around aimlessly, while her wet nurse carefully protected her from the side.
"General Dong, you're here to play with Zhen'er again?"
Upon seeing Dong Zhuo enter, the wet nurse greeted him with a smile.
"kindness!"
Dong Zhuo smiled and nodded at the wet nurse.
Lu Zhen, who was on the bed, saw Dong Zhuo enter and smiled happily. She crawled towards Dong Zhuo on all fours.
"Oh dear, my Zhen'er!"
Dong Zhuo quickly stepped forward, reached out his hands, and hugged Lü Zhen in his arms, looking at her with a hint of reluctance in his eyes.
Lü Zhen blinked her big, bright eyes at Dong Zhuo and said in a childish voice, "Fatty... Fatty Brother..."
Upon hearing the words "Fat Brother" from Lü Zhen again, Dong Zhuo shook his head with a helpless wry smile and said softly:
"Oh well, Fatty it is! Hehe~ As long as Zhen'er likes it, anything is fine!!"
Then Dong Zhuo took out a jade tablet carved with an eagle, waved it in front of Lü Zhen, and said with a smile, "This is a spoil of war that I obtained when I killed a powerful man from the Western Qiang. I originally planned to pass it on to my future son, but I'll give it to you today!"
Lu Zhen reached out her small hand and grasped the jade pendant, seemingly quite pleased with the gift.
"Haha~ Zhen'er truly lives up to her reputation as the Eagle Girl of my Han people!"
Upon seeing this, Dong Zhuo couldn't help but burst into a happy laugh.
Dong Zhuo's expression darkened immediately, and he couldn't help but sigh. His eyes, once again filled with reluctance, looked at Lü Zhen. "Alas~ who knows when we'll meet again after this parting? Zhen'er, don't forget me!"
Lu Zhen, meanwhile, stared blankly at Dong Zhuo with her big, bright eyes, as if trying to memorize his appearance.
After bidding farewell to Lü Zhen, Dong Zhuo, looking slightly dejected, had just returned to his residence when he was invited by a soldier of the Imperial Guard to Jian Shuo's residence.
"I wonder what brings you here, Attendant Jian?"
Jian Shuo smiled and looked at Dong Zhuo, "There is a secret errand that General Dong needs to carry out!"
Dong Zhuo's expression shifted. "Oh? What kind of assignment is this?"
"General Dong, come closer!"
