The Ultimate Borer

Chapter 197 Heroes List, Dong Zhuo strikes again

"Oh!"

Dong Zhuo smashed the golf club in his hand to the ground, and a large crack was instantly smashed on the originally smooth and flat floor. Li Ru and Mei Niang huddled together in fear, not daring to look at Dong Zhuo.

"Are you two saying that the guy you met last night, who I don't know who he is, secretly leaked the video of me fighting with Cao Cao's group last night?"

Dong Zhuo looked at Li Ru and Mei Niang, who were kneeling on the ground, with the eyes of a dead person. These two losers actually told him such an important thing now. What made him even more angry was that these two guys and their guards were unable to stop the other party, and they didn't even know who the other party was.

"Great Master of the Imperial Household and Principal, this... really can't be blamed on us two. After all, we never imagined that under your leadership, Wuhan Academy would actually have a student whose martial arts skills rival those of the Five Tiger Generals!"

Li Ru was almost frightened to death by Dong Zhuo's eyes, and complained quickly that he was hit by a palm from that mysterious man last night and his chest still hurt terribly.

"Bullshit! You really want to die! How dare you lie to me? The Eastern Han Academy is now under my control. The Five Tiger Generals all participated in the battle yesterday. How could there be another master who can match them? It seems you really want to be shot. Come on, drag him away and give him 1000 lashes. If he dies, it proves he deserves it. If he survives, it means he didn't deserve the death penalty!"

Dong Zhuo called the guards at the door and was about to drag Li Ru away to be beaten. At this time, Mei Niang suddenly testified for Li Ru.

"Great Principal, I can vouch for Li Ru. He didn't lie! That guy last night was definitely a bit overpowered. Otherwise, with so many of us, we wouldn't have been unable to take him down!"

Mei Niang lay on the ground in fear. After hearing what Mei Niang said, Dong Zhuo waved to the two guards who were holding Li Ru. The two guards immediately let go of Li Ru and left the principal's office.

"Thank you, Principal, for not killing me! Thank you, Principal, for sparing my life. Thank you, Principal..."

Li Ru was so scared that he was sweating profusely. The moment he was put down by the two guards, he felt like he was reborn and kept thanking Dong Zhuo.

"Alright, I bet you two wouldn't dare lie to me at the same time. Even though what happened last night is over, the appearance of this guy in the Eastern Han Academy is still a threat to me, the greatest principal in history. Do you two have any good ideas that can both find out who this guy is and help me deal with those troublesome brats from the Five Tiger Generals?"

Dong Zhuo looked at the two people on the ground. He admitted that he was a little anxious because the people in the palace had become more and more greedy recently, but they still hadn't done what they promised him. He had to become the leader as soon as possible, otherwise he might really have no chance.

Originally, Dong Zhuo thought that after becoming the Minister of the Imperial Household, he would have a smooth journey. With the help of that group of people, he would depose Emperor Xian and successfully take the position of leader of the school alliance. However, as time went on, the Yuan family seemed to have extended their hands into the court and began to win over ministers to oppose him.

In addition, his adopted son Lu Bu discovered the little secret he left on him, betrayed him and chose to escape, so he lacked a capable thug by his side. In the Eastern Han Academy, Cao Cao, the Five Tiger Generals, Liu Bei, Sun Shangxiang and others were against him, resulting in his inability to fully control the Eastern Han Academy. The work progress on both sides could not be advanced, so he could only pin his hopes on these two useless people to see if they had any good ideas.

"Great Principal, I have a plan, but I don't know if it will work!"

When Dong Zhuo was about to become furious, Li Ru racked his brains and finally came up with a clever idea. He put his mouth next to Dong Zhuo's ear with a wicked smile. After listening to him, Dong Zhuo nodded repeatedly.

"As expected of my son-in-law, you have so many bad ideas. Okay, let's do as you say!"

……

"Oh no, oh no, something terrible has happened!"

Xiao Qiao ran into Cao's house in a panic. The guards at the door didn't dare to stop her. After all, Cao Cao had ordered in advance that no matter when Xiao Qiao came, she should not be stopped.

"What's the matter, Xiao Qiao?"

Diao Chan and Guan Yu were cooking in the kitchen. The kitchen table was already piled with many lunch boxes. They were preparing to cook some dishes to send to the children in the welfare home.

Zhang Fei, Ma Chao, and Huang Zhong gathered together to play flying chess, Zheng Xiu was playing the new song he wrote for Ah Xiang, and Cao Cao was preparing to get a new hairstyle in front of the mirror.

"It's not good, it's not good, the big thing is not good!"

Xiao Qiao ran to the living room anxiously and quickly called everyone over. Only then did everyone see that she was holding a notice in her hand.

"Dong Zhuo just issued a notice that the Southern Xiongnu University is attacking Hedong University. Now the situation at Hedong University is urgent and the Eastern Han Academy is needed to send troops to join the battle. All of you Five Tiger Generals are on the call-up list!"

Xiao Qiao showed the notice in his hand to everyone, and just as Xiao Qiao said, the names of the five of them were on the recruitment list.

"Damn it! Dong Zhuo is clearly targeting us! If you ask me, it would be best if Hedong High School, Dong Zhuo's stronghold, were destroyed by Southern Xiongnu High School!"

Zhang Fei was a little angry. They never got any good things. Whenever they encountered such dangerous situations, they, the Five Tiger Generals, were always on the list.

"Fei, you can't say that. Hedong University also has many students from ordinary families, and the students at Southern Xiongnu University are no different from those at Yellow Turban University. If we leave Hedong University alone, they will definitely be in dire straits!"

Ma Chao quickly said, if good students and bad students are mixed together, wouldn’t it be too unfair to students from ordinary families?

"I was just saying that out of anger. The main reason is that all five of us are on the draft list. It's okay if we fight, but if we all leave, who will protect my eldest brother, my eldest sister-in-law, the president, and my second sister-in-law?"

"Don't worry about this matter for now. I'll go find Dong Zhuo and ask him about it first!"

Cao Cao's face was not very good either, because he saw the names of many of his Cao family's retainers and generals on the conscription list.

"But what is this hero list?"

Xiu accidentally saw the back of the notice, which had three large characters written in a flamboyant style.

"I'll see, I'll see!"

Zhang Fei hurriedly took the notice from Xiao Qiao and read the words on the back.

"The Hero List was specially created by Dong Zhuo, the Grand Master of the Alliance and the President of the Eastern Han Academy. Those on the list are all world-renowned heroes with exceptional strength. President Dong Zhuo will hold a hero selection on the afternoon of the 15th of this month. Those who are confident in their abilities can go to the Eastern Han Academy Square to take the test. Those who make the list will have their scholarship doubled for the year, and will not be required to retake exams if they fail three subjects!"

"What does Dong Zhuo mean by this? He wouldn't be so kind as to give us a reward. This isn't like him at all."

Zhao Yun carefully looked at the notice in Zhang Fei's hand and felt that there must be something fishy.

"Strange, why does this hero list feel so much like the KO list from Golden Time and Space?"

Xiu looked at the introduction of the hero list with an unnatural expression.

"I think, until we figure this out, it's better for everyone to be patient and cautious!"

Cao Cao didn't know what Dong Zhuo wanted to do for a moment, so they could only wait and see, but Zhang Fei was somewhat reluctant.

"What are you afraid of? We weren't afraid even when we were fighting against Dong Zhuo. Now that he's giving us a reward, are we still afraid? We're all going to the battlefield anyway, so why not take advantage of the reward?"

Zhang Fei grinned and said proudly, as if he had picked up a great bargain.

……

"Hero List? Interesting!"

In Xiliang, Fang Mu looked at the letter sent back by Guo Si and raised the corner of his mouth. Then he handed the letter to Jiang Wei beside him. After Jiang Wei finished reading it, Fang Mu looked at him.

"Boyo, what do you think?"

"This is a fishing tactic. On the surface, it's about judging the heroes of the world, but in reality, it's about judging the strength of the various military commanders of the Eastern Han Academy. Furthermore, Guo Si's whereabouts have been exposed. Perhaps this is a conspiracy against him!"

Although Jiang Wei was not in the Eastern Han Dynasty, he was able to guess most of Li Ru's plan based on this letter alone, making him worthy of being Fang Mu's think tank.

"However, the Southern Xiongnu are indeed a bit rampant!"

Jiang Wei looked at Fang Mu and said.

"It is said that these Southern Xiongnu are uneducated and extremely barbaric. Wherever they go, they kill and burn, bully men and women, and commit even more evil than the Yellow Turban rebels. They are truly a cancer on the Han Dynasty!"

"You, you, you always don't want me to be idle!"

"The greater the ability, the greater the responsibility!"

Jiang Wei chuckled and fanned slowly with the fan in his hand.

Fang Mu made a Donnie Yen emoticon-like gesture of pointing at someone, then stood up from his seat.

"Where are Han Sui, Zhang Xiu, Li Jue, and Zhang Ji?"

"The general is here!"
