"Second brother, I'm afraid the person who comes here is not good!"
Zhao Yun looked at the large group of people approaching in the distance like a dark cloud, and whispered a reminder beside Liu Bian.
Liu Bian sneered and said: "As the saying goes, 'The mantis stalks the cicada, but the oriole is behind', the person coming now should be the smart 'oriole'!"
While talking, he took out the yellow gourd again, turned it over and shouted "Put it away!"
The one thousand and eighty "Yellow Heavenly Camel Dragon Soldiers" turned into golden beans again, rolling and flying into the gourd.
Huang Xu was a little confused: "Second brother, since you know that the person who came here is not good, why did you accept the camel dragon soldiers?"
Liu Bian spread his hands and said helplessly: "Those were thieves with evil intentions just now, but now they are the elites of the Han Forbidden Army. If we let go and kill for a while, what is reasonable will eventually become unreasonable."
Huang Xu immediately frowned: "Isn't it possible that we can only let others slaughter us?"
Liu Bian turned around on the tiger's back, cupped his hands toward the mountain, and said with a smile: "Sun Wuzi said, 'A man who subdues an enemy's army without fighting is a good man.' The best strategy is to make the opponent retreat when he sees difficulties. But we brothers are still a little short of the mark, and we still need Teacher Huang to take action after all."
As soon as the words came out, the three little boys heard Huang Zhong's voice at the same time: "Little Huantou, how come there is someone behind you, and this person is your teacher and not Brother Tong or Daoist Brother Hu Yuan himself?"
Liu Bian said matter-of-factly: "My foster father always attaches great importance to the word 'steady' in his actions. Naturally, he will not let us take risks, so it is inevitable that someone will secretly control the formation. When it comes to battle formations, teacher, you are the expert." Hand, of course is the most suitable candidate!"
"Taoist Brother Hu Yun is indeed a good disciple!" Huang Zhong praised first and then asked, "In your opinion, how can we 'conquer the enemy's army without fighting'?"
Liu Bian was already confident and replied without thinking: "Shoot people and horses, capture thieves and capture kings!"
"Okay! Since you have made your decision, just deal with the coming people calmly. My teacher will take action when you need it!"
After saying this, Huang Zhong fell silent and stopped speaking.
Not long after, that group of people and horses arrived like flying.
The entire army was made up of cavalry, wearing black armor all over their bodies, with white feathers on their iron jackets, holding spears, wearing long knives, hanging bows and arrows, and their appearance was neat and tidy. They were obviously a strong army.
One of the generals in the Chinese army, wearing gold armor and red robes and carrying a broadsword, was Dong Chong, the nephew of Empress Dowager Dong, who was worshiped as General of the Guard.
At this moment, Dong Chong also saw clearly the ravine on the ground and the yellow turban corpses everywhere. He was horrified and hurriedly ordered the whole army to stop.
He looked at the messy ground, and then at the three children standing side by side in front of him, feeling shocked and uncertain for a moment.
Zhao Yun urged his horse to take a few steps forward, exhaled and shouted loudly: "The prince of the Han Dynasty is here. If you don't get off your horse to pay homage, are you going to rescue the prince or rob him and kill him?"
Dong Zhong was startled and subconsciously responded: "Of course we are here to rescue the prince!"
As soon as the words came out, I realized something was wrong.
However, Liu Bian did not allow him to change his words. He urged the tigers to come forward and drove left and right in front of the eight thousand forbidden troops. He said loudly: "I am the Han prince Liu Bian. The bandits just attacked and I have been killed by them all." Kill here. Although you ran away in vain, I know that your loyalty is commendable, and I will report it to my father and the queen later for a reward."
Except for Dong Zhong's close personal soldiers, most of the Imperial Guards were deceived by Dong Zhong and thought that this trip was really to rescue the prince. Now that they saw that the prince was safe and heard that they had done hard work even though they had no merit, they were all overjoyed and immediately came together. They saluted on their horses and shouted in unison: "Thank you, Your Highness!"
Dong Chong had the idea of taking advantage of the chaos. Now that the chaos was over, he knew that the opportunity had passed.
But after all, he had some wit. Before his plan came to fruition, he suddenly thought of another plan and immediately raised his voice and said: "Your Highness is fine. I'm really lucky. But if the thieves can come this time, who knows there won't be a second time? Your Highness can't." Continue to stay in this dangerous place. I am General Dong Chong of the Guard, and I boldly ask His Highness to return to the city with the army and wait until dawn to see you in the palace again."
In his opinion, as long as he brought Liu Bian back to the city, he would still have a chance to do something secretly.
"No!" Liu Bian shook his head categorically, "It was the father's decree that Gu was allowed to stay here anonymously. How could Gu dare to return to Luoyang without permission before the father issued the decree again?"
Dong Zhong's attitude was equally resolute: "The matter is urgent, and the safety of His Highness is the most important thing. If Your Majesty is convicted of this, I am willing to bear the consequences. Anyone who comes, please go and invite Your Highness back to the city!"
After giving the order, his confidants immediately rushed forward.
"How brave!"
There was a sudden shout in the air, and then a four-foot arrow with a black stem and white feathers flew from Beimang Mountain.
The arrow rotated and flew at high speed, attracting more and more energy from heaven and earth to surround the arrow, turning into a translucent tornado that roared across the sky and swept away the dozens of cavalrymen who wanted to step forward to hug Liu Bian. It blew like a piece of paper and flew out in a swirl.
Dong Chong saw before his eyes that the arrow was shot towards his face.
Before the arrow arrived, he could clearly feel a ray of mysterious energy firmly locking onto him, and then he felt that the air around him seemed to turn into ice that was stronger than diamond, freezing him firmly in it without being able to move at all.
"Rare..."
When he opened his mouth to utter a word with great difficulty, the sharp arrowhead as long as his fingers could barely touch the skin between his eyebrows, and then settled steadily in the air.
"Crack! Click!"
A series of sounds of shattering gold and iron were heard from Dong Chong's body. From the golden helmet on his head to the golden armor on his body, as well as the big knife in his hand, they collapsed and shattered in an instant, and fragments of various shapes were scattered around. All over the floor.
Surprisingly, the turban and clothes under his armor were not damaged at all, and neither he nor the horse he was sitting on suffered any damage.
The big arrow fixed in front of Dong Chong's brow finally fell and was inserted vertically into the ground in front of Dong Chong's horse.
At the same time, a cold and deep voice came into Dong Chong’s ears:
"If anyone wants to trap His Highness in injustice, he must ask the bow and arrow in someone's hand if he agrees!"
Although Dong Zhong still had clothes on his body, he felt as if he were standing naked against the cold wind, and his body was filled with biting cold from the outside to the inside.
"Martial arts saint, the enemy of ten thousand people!"
He has been in a high position for a long time and has extraordinary knowledge. He has judged from the power of this arrow that the unseen strong man is actually a "Martial Saint" who has proved the Tao through martial arts.
This is the realm of the Golden Elixir Earth Immortal in the martial arts field, which is comparable to that of the Golden Elixir Earth Immortal in the monastic realm, and because they do not pursue immortality but focus on pursuing the power of force, they are often better than ordinary Golden Elixir Earth Immortals in terms of combat power alone.
After realizing the reality that there was no chance of plotting against Liu Bian tonight, Dong Chong finally had to make a choice and immediately issued an order feebly: "Retreat the troops!"
The military order was issued, but before the army could take any action, another group of men and horses suddenly came galloping from the direction of Luoyang. The leader shouted loudly on the horse: "In accordance with the order of His Majesty, Zhongchang Attendant Jian Shuo is here to escort the prince to the palace to meet him!"
