A preliminary consensus was reached, but it was just a consensus. Guo Jia did not accept it immediately and bowed. After all, he had just arrived. Although the situation in Chang'an City and even the entire Guanzhong showed Liu Xie's extraordinaryness and courage, this did not explain all the problems. After suffering a loss of reputation from Yuan Shao, Guo Jia's choice this time would be much more cautious.

Liu Xie did not say much about this. His request was very simple. As long as Guo Jia did not leave Chang'an, the gate of the palace would be opened for him at any time. If he thought it through, he would come. But if he left Chang'an, don't blame him for being ruthless.

This is not said clearly. It is better to get along with smart people. Many words do not need to be pointed out. Everyone knows that once the invisible boundary is crossed, you must be prepared to break up with the other party.

In the next few days, Chang'an was calm. Liu Xie didn't know how many powerful generals his recruitment command could bring to him this time. After all, not everyone was like Huang Zhong and Wei Yan, who had enough identities to meet Liu Xie before joining him.

Liu Xie naturally knew that during this period, many powerful generals had not yet become officials, but they didn't know the specific location, not to mention that even if they knew, they could not issue an edict directly. After all, not every prince was willing to maintain friendly relations with the court like Liu Biao. Just look at this period, except for Cao Cao who presented a lot of gold foil and jade, not to mention the distance, there was only one person who was close to him who sent 20,000 stones of food and grass, and he knew how annoying his emperor was in the hearts of the princes.

He sent someone to issue an edict to find someone, and maybe he helped them recruit talents directly. Liu Xie naturally would not do such a thing, so he could only wait for the March period to see how much influence his reputation as the emperor has in the world.

Chang'an's fortifications began to stop gradually after November. The cold winter has arrived. At this time, it is really not suitable to continue to build a large amount of civil engineering. Of course, people still need to continue to maintain it, and the situation of labor-for-relief has not stopped. They just changed some work that can be completed at home.

For example, if you make wood at home, make wooden strips or wooden stakes of specified specifications, and use them when the civil engineering is started in the spring of the following year, the houses can barely accommodate the people in the city after this period of renovation, and there is a dedicated person responsible for collecting these preliminarily processed wood.

However, in the past few days, Liu Xie has been worried about another thing. Recently, the aura that scattered around his body seemed to be much more majestic. In a vague way, Liu Xie felt as if he was about to be dragged up.

What exactly is this?

At night, the cold north wind blew Liu Xie's robe and rustled, but he seemed to feel no chill at all, as if the invisible force around his body formed a strange cover to protect himself, making the cold air unable to touch him.

Although he is protecting, he is a force that is not controlled by himself. Humans will always subconsciously reject unknown things. Liu Xie is also a human being, so he naturally has this emotion. Moreover, in the past few days, especially after seeing Guo Jia, Liu Xie vaguely felt that the power around him seemed to be increasing day by day. Today, it seems to have reached a critical point, which makes Liu Xie worried that these strange forces will explode around him and kill him!

"What?" Liu Xie suddenly looked up and seemed to see several figures appearing around him.

When I looked carefully, I had nothing, and I felt a little creepy for no reason. As the true dragon emperor, I would not encounter any unclean things, right? System, you bastard, come out for me! I will drop the links for me at the critical moment.

"Woooooo"

The wind seemed to be a little more violent. Liu Xie felt that his movements were also limited by the invisible force that had not violated the rivers of his well, and it was difficult for him to move.

"Great"

My throat twitched a few times, but it didn't make any sound, as if an inexplicable aura was piled up on my chest, making it extremely difficult for me to make a sound.

What's going on?

Feeling the aura that crushed himself like a mountain, Liu Xie was puzzled and even more unwilling to do so. Could it be that he would travel back to the end of the Han Dynasty and make all kinds of plans to have the current situation. He was about to swallow the world and be a great emperor who had a name for all eternity, or even become an emperor of the ages. He did not die on the road to expand territory, but he had to die in his palace in a frustration. He could not be killed by this invisible force?

The unwilling and angry emotions gradually became stronger as the squeeze became heavier and heavier, as if a flame was burning in the heart, not only growing, but also growing, until the fire of ignorance reached its peak in Liu Xie's heart.

"roar"

Liu Xie suddenly raised his head, as if he had broken through some kind of restraint, and suddenly let out a shocking roar towards the sky.

"hold head high"

Immediately afterwards, a dragon-shaped phantom appeared around him, like a snake, placing Liu Xie in the center. With Liu Xie's roar, he even looked up at the sky and let out a melodious dragon roar.

"clang"

Immediately afterwards, a hot brow appeared, as if responding to Liu Xie's roar, or as if responding to the sound of the dragon roar. In the depths of Liu Xie's soul, a bell rang through the soul, and there was an endless sense of joy in the bell.

this……

At this moment, Liu Xie was stunned by the sudden change. The dragon-shaped phantom was the sound of bells coming from the depths of his soul. Even at this moment, Liu Xie could clearly feel that there was a huge golden bell between his eyebrows or in his soul, with golden light and dazzling light. It was engraved with ancient divine beasts such as dragons, phoenixes, and unicorns. Liu Xie looked over and seemed to be lifelike. When he looked around, he saw the phantom of the divine dragon, phoenixes, and qilins. He shrouded Liu Xie in it.

What's wrong with this world?

At this moment, Liu Xie could clearly feel a trace of intimacy from the phantom of the divine dragon, and even faintly felt the weakness coming from it. This was a weak divine dragon. Although its divine power was still there, it was very weak, just like this Han Dynasty...

As if he understood something, Liu Xie tried to use his mind to connect the golden bell of China Unicom and succeeded easily.

"Imperial System?" Liu Xie asked tentatively.

After receiving a positive answer, Liu Xie narrowed his eyes slightly: "What's going on?"

Step on

The rapid footsteps interrupted Liu Xie's inquiry. Wei Zhong, Niu Geng, Yu Xiu, Wan'er rushed in quickly with a group of guards, looking around with a vigilant look, but didn't find anything. Wei Zhong hurried to Liu Xie: "Your Majesty, what happened?"

"Hmm?" Liu Xie looked at Wei Zhong in surprise. Seeing that he had actually passed through the phantom of the dragon, he turned a blind eye to the phantom of the dragon, frowned and said, "You can't see?"

"What is Your Majesty referring to?" Wei Zhong said in a daze.

"Nothing?" Looking at Niu Geng and others who were also not in the distance, Liu Xie shook his head and knew in his heart that this phantom of the dragon was probably the only one who could see it.

Looking at Wei Zhong with a confused look on his face, he shook his head and sighed: "I just thought about the great Han Dynasty, but there are so many disasters and difficulties. I feel so depressed and angry, so I vent my anger."

"Your Majesty also needs to take care of the dragon body!" Wei Zhong said quickly.

"It's okay, let's go down first, I'm fine." Liu Xie waved his hand: "It scared the soldiers."

"I have no choice but to do what I do." Niu Geng and other guards bowed quickly.

"I want to be quiet." Liu Xie waved his hand, took a deep breath, and looked at the dragon-shaped phantom around him. With a thought, the dragon-shaped phantom instantly turned into a ray of golden light and penetrated into Liu Xie's body.

"I (lower) retired!" Wei Zhong, Niu Geng and others quickly said goodbye, and soon returned to their respective positions.

Liu Xie was very energetic, but what he saw and heard tonight had somewhat subverted his past understanding of the world. He really needed to be quiet.

The candlelight in the palace has gone out, but it seems that there has been an inexplicable change in himself not long ago. The light and darkness of the light seem to have no effect on him anymore. He can now clearly see every corner of the palace, and even the strange figures shrank in the corner.

Taking a deep breath, Liu Xie stood up from the bed and walked silently towards the figures.

Those "people" seemed a little afraid of Liu Xie. When they saw Liu Xie coming over, they squeezed together in a little shivering manner.

The originally nervous mood had been much more relaxed. Liu Xie's eyes fell on the 'person' dressed as a bride closest to him. He looked at the 'it' with interest, reached out and pointed, and said indifferently: "You, raise your head."

"Here"

It is soft and a bit heroic. It lifts up with a pale cheek, but apart from being white, it is quite beautiful, at least not inferior to Tang Ji.

"You... are you a ghost?" Liu Xie said with some uncertainty.

The woman showed a hint of confusion on her face, shook her head, indicating that she was ignorant.

"Do you remember what happened before your death?" Liu Xie reached out and placed it, but it seemed like a red soldering iron falling into the water, causing its body to tremble, but he did not dare to struggle in front of Liu Xie.

Liu Xie quickly withdrew his hand and frowned and looked at it.

"My maid remember." Nodded.

"Who are you? Why are you in this palace?" Liu Xie frowned.

"The maid Mo Xueyuan was originally given to General Zhou Yafu as his wife by Empress Dou, but she was harmed by a traitor and humiliated her body. She had no face to talk about marriage again and broke up with her. For some reason, she did not enter the cycle of reincarnation after her death and was still in a state of confusion."

"Empress Dou? Zhou Yafu?" Liu Xie felt a little messy and looked at the timid figures around him, including palace maids and eunuchs, frowned and said, "What about them?"

"For some reason, many people have died in this palace over the years, some people have immortal souls, but some people have just been born and dissipated inexplicably. These... are people whose souls have not dissipated over the years." Mo Xueyuan bowed and said.

"Everyone is up. You must not step into this palace without my permission in the future, otherwise..." Liu Xie looked at his palm, and a cold light flashed in his eyes and said, "I can make you so scared!"

"Now" The ghosts heard this and were as if they were amnesty, they walked directly through the wall and left Chengming Palace.

"System, come out, I think you should give me an explanation. I am not your puppet!" Liu Xie roared in his soul in the empty hall.
