Dogs and chickens have scattered across the empty walls, wild birds have entered the house and mandrills have hidden themselves. ------Song Xu Ji's "Reply to Li Ling in the Wealth and Honor Chapter"
It is said that one night in Luoyang, some people were extremely beautiful, some were secretly sentimental, some were uneasy, and some were anxious. In the morning, all the officials gathered in the square in front of the court, waiting for Queen He and the Emperor to come forward to calm the people. Unexpectedly, what they waited for was just an edict read by Dong Zhuo's purple-clad officials.
The palace door was closed tightly again, and the remaining officials who got up one after another looked at each other. Chen Long knew that if no one started to ask questions today, I was afraid that the Queen Mother He would not survive today at all, so he yelled: "Please come out of the palace with the Queen Mother and the Emperor to reassure all the ministers!"
The voice was full of internal energy and spread far away. The civil servants and generals around him were stunned for a moment. When Gan Ning saw his master roaring, he raised his arms and shouted: "Please come out of the palace to please the empress dowager and the emperor to calm all the ministers!"
Hundreds of special warriors behind them saw the lord and general shouting loudly, and they also roared in unison: "Please come out of the palace, please the queen mother and the emperor, for the sake of peace of mind for all the ministers!"
This time the sound shook the roof tiles, and the sound spread far into the palace. Yuan Shao, who was standing proudly not far away, took a deep look at Chen Long and raised his arms and shouted loudly. Along with Yuan Shao's shouts, officials who were close to Yuan Shao, as well as Cao Cao, Xun You and others also followed suit and shouted loudly. More and more people were shouting, and Wang Yun, Cai Yong, Bao Xin, Liu Yu and others also began to raise their arms and shout.
Ding Yuan's expression changed, but he followed the crowd and called for the Queen Mother He and the Emperor to come out and meet. The sound floated through the palace tiles and reached the ears of Queen Mother He who was sitting in Qufei Hall. Queen Mother He stared at the glass of poisonous wine in front of her and burst into tears.
It turned out that Dong Zhuo kidnapped the Han Emperor into the palace early in the morning and asked Liu Bian what happened, but Liu Bian was incoherent. But Chen Liuwang and Liu Xie were very clever, able to answer questions fluently and express themselves very clearly. Dong Zhuo inquired about the emperor's companion and learned from Min Gong that Liu Xie was raised by the Empress Dowager Dong and was named "Dong Hou". Dong Zhuo was overjoyed when he heard this and considered himself to be of the same clan as the Empress Dowager Dong. He was very happy and hoped that Liu Xie could become the emperor. , has the intention of abolishing the establishment.
After a huge change overnight, Queen Mother He had already become a frightened bird. Dong Zhuo was thinking of abolishing the throne, and he remembered that Liu Bian's biological mother, the Queen Mother He, was in charge of the government. If he wanted to abolish the throne, he must first get rid of the Queen Mother He. At this time, the sky was already bright, and his subordinates reported that the ministers were waiting in the square outside the palace gate. On the one hand, Dong Zhuo ordered his men to go to the square to appease the officials and order them to disperse; on the other hand, he hurriedly prepared poisoned wine and sent it to Queen Mother He.
Empress Dowager He knew that she was about to die here today, so she displayed her majesty as the Empress Dowager, put on her formal attire, and said to Dong Zhuo: "Since ancient times, the way of kings and ministers cannot be abandoned. I am willing to go to the main hall and die facing the late emperor."
The coffin of Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty has been parked in Quefei Hall and has not yet entered the mausoleum. The Empress Dowager He was dressed up and walking. Dong Zhuo did not dare to stop her, so he sent people to monitor the Empress Dowager He when she arrived at Quefei Hall. The Empress Dowager He had finished paying homage to the late emperor and was sitting at attention in the main seat. Dong Zhuo's men placed the poisoned wine in front of the Empress Dowager He.
Suddenly Chen Long's roar came first, and then the shouts of the ministers rose loudly. Empress Dowager He was overjoyed. Before she died, she could hear the voice of her beloved husband who she missed day and night. She died without regrets, and Chen Long was there. Outside the palace, Queen Mother He began to take chances again. If you can survive, who wants to die?
Seeing that there was no movement in the palace, Chen Long knew that he had to do something extraordinary at this time. He leaped to the palace gate and slammed the door with his palms raised vigorously. The palace door finally opened a crack, and Dong Zhuo's purple-clad subordinate showed his face full of anger and said: "What do you mean by making such noise? Do you want to rebel?"
Chen Long didn't stop at all. He kicked the purple-clothed official into the wall and walked inside. The official was caught off guard, his mouth full of blood, and he fainted under the red wall. Gan Ning and other special team members swarmed in and followed Chen Long into the Nangong. How could the guards on both sides of the palace gate dare to stop them? Seeing that what had happened, the officials behind him followed him into the palace.
Chen Long used his Qinggong skill to fly straight into the deep palace. The guards along the way were unable to stop him. They were all left behind by Chen Long and were controlled by Gan Ning and others. As Chen Long flew, he shouted: "Queen Mother He, Queen Mother He! I pay my respects to Chen Long!"
Flying to the front of Qufei's palace, he saw the guards in front of the palace drawing swords and surrounding him. They were all in Dong Zhuo's military uniforms. There were also a few soldiers who hurriedly turned around and entered the palace, as if they were going to Tongbing. Suddenly, a high-pitched voice echoed in the hall: "Chen Aiqing, the Queen Mother is here!" The voice suddenly broke, as if someone had pinched her throat.
Chen Long was anxious, remembering that day in the dark night when he entered the palace through the side window of Quefei Hall, he tiptoed and turned to the right hand side of the hall to get rid of the entanglement of the heavy soldiers. Then he jumped up from the right side of the main hall, with the full moon bow in his hand, kicked a row of windows to pieces, and rushed into the main hall. At a glance, he saw Dong Zhuo pulling a beautiful woman in full dress, with a sword in his hand. Chen Long didn't have time to think, the crossbow arrow in his hand had already left the string like lightning, and with a sound like a poisonous snake, the sword in Dong Zhuo's hand was swung away.
It turned out that Dong Zhuo was in the emperor's palace and asked Han Shao Emperor and King Chen Liu to accompany him to talk. Suddenly hearing the sound outside the palace, she became worried and hurried to Qufei Palace. Her men were about to forcefully pour poisonous wine into the throat of Empress Dowager He. Unfortunately, Empress Dowager He heard Chen Long's voice getting closer and closer. She was not willing to give in easily and struggled. He knocked the poisoned wine to the ground. Then he shouted loudly: "Chen Aiqing, the Queen Mother is here!" The subordinate quickly pressed the Queen Mother's mouth firmly. Seeing Dong Zhuo coming, he asked Dong Zhuo with his eyes whether he should kill him immediately.
Dong Zhuo knew what happened today and could only do nothing. He drew out his saber and was about to kill the Queen Mother He with one strike. Suddenly, the row of windows in the main hall shattered with a roar, followed by a crossbow arrow like a divine dragon descending from the sky. The sword beside the Queen Mother clanged and was knocked aside. Dong Zhuo was shocked. Knowing that Chen Long was already behind him, he did not bother to swing the sword to kill Queen Mother He again. He actually made a mistake and cut the man who had just forced Queen Mother He into two pieces.
The sound of fighting came from outside the palace. Gan Ning was the first to push open the palace door and reveal his big head. Then Chen Long's special team members rushed in and apparently had quickly broken through Dong Zhuo's men on the outside. Dong Zhuo held a steel knife in his hand and stared blankly at the influx of Chen Long's men. Empress Dowager He got this opportunity, rolled up and threw herself into Chen Long's arms. Dong Zhuo turned his head suddenly and saw that Empress Dowager He was hiding like a little bird. In Chen Long's arms, his eyes almost fell down. Only then did he know the reason why Chen Long broke into Nangong madly. The steel knife fell from his hand and fell to the ground with a clang.
Chen Long saw that the Empress Dowager He was desperate, and all the officials followed Gan Ning, and hurriedly protected the Empress Dowager He behind him. Dong Zhuo's guards outside the palace saw that the situation was not good, and attacked the palace gate with all their strength. Chen Long's special forces were trained hard, how could it be? Are Dong Zhuo's guards comparable? Some smart guards ran out of the palace. Now only the strong soldiers on the outside can save Dong Zhuo.
The light in the hall was dim and dim. Dong Zhuo was alone and unarmed. Chen Long held a powerful crossbow and suddenly became murderous. If the Dong thief could be eliminated, history would be rewritten. However, strong soldiers such as Li Jue and Guo Si were on the outside. Their own strength was more than enough to kill Dong Zhuo, but they could not prevent Li Jue and Guo Si from going crazy and slaughtering the city. The strong crossbow trembled slightly, but Chen Long couldn't fire the arrow.
Among the hundreds of officials with strong martial arts skills, they have arrived one after another. The first one, Lu Bu and Lu Fengxian, went outside the palace to separate Chen Long's men. Chen Long sighed secretly in his heart, lowered his crossbow, ordered his team members to get out of the way, and asked Queen Mother He to sit next to the dragon chair on the high platform, and let all the officials enter.
Lu Bu, Yuan Shao, Cao Cao and other generals entered. Seeing that Queen Mother He was safe and sound, they all knelt down and saluted. Chen Long took a few steps and knelt down next to Gan Ning. Dong Zhuo thought that Chen Long would kill him in pain, but he was at a loss when he saw all the officials entering the hall. He knelt down and called the Queen Mother: "Your Majesty, I didn't expect that someone wanted to harm you. Fortunately, I came in time and beheaded the murderer."
Empress Dowager He burst into tears and said: "My lords, please be safe." The officials stood up one after another, only to hear Empress Dowager He curse loudly: "Dong thief! Your men want to harm me, and the poisonous wine is proof! I was not ordered by you, and Who is it?" When the officials heard what the Queen Mother said, they all started talking and dancing, making the scene chaotic.
Dong Zhuo pointed to the sky and painted the earth, and said: "Queen Mother, I can learn from the heaven and the earth. Following the order of the late General He Jin, I rushed to the capital day and night to kill the eunuchs and help the Han Dynasty. Unexpectedly, the general was killed. The eunuchs plotted against him, General Ben Chu killed the eunuchs, and Zhang Rang and others kidnapped the emperor and fled. If my subordinates had not rescued him at Beimang Mountain, the consequences would have been disastrous!"
Chen Long took advantage of the chaos in the court and secretly said to Gan Ning behind him: "You take advantage of the current chaos and quickly lead all the team members to find the whereabouts of the emperor. Just say that Dong Zhuo wants to kill the Queen Mother He, and then he will kill the king and establish himself. Let's. Liu Bian led the way down to the Nangong Tunnel and waited for me until Beiman Mountain. I will naturally have a way to escape."
Gan Ning knew that Chen Long was afraid that Dong Zhuo's army would arrive and that no one would be able to escape, so he quietly slipped out of the palace, led the soldiers around the chaotic Qufei Palace, and searched in the back hall. Sure enough, he found Dong Zhuo's guards standing in the back hall. After driving away the guards, they found Liu Bian, the young emperor of the Han Dynasty, but King Chenliu was not in the palace.
Gan Ning tried to scare him, but Liu Bian couldn't tell the truth. Seeing that Gan Ning was like a ferocious spirit, he had to lead the way straight to the North Palace. Seven or eight of the guards in the palace died last night, and the remaining few did not dare to stop him. Gan Ning and others Follow Liu Bian to find the tunnel of the palace, and go straight to the exit of Beimang Mountain without mentioning it.
In the main hall, Dong Zhuo denied everything. Empress Dowager He was helpless for a while and looked at Chen Long, hoping that he would give him an idea. Chen Long thought to himself: "Queen Mother, if you are checking Dong Zhuo's account now, do you know that Dong Zhuo's army is coming? By then, everyone will be destroyed, and there will be no place to bury him." At this time, Yuan Shao and Chen Long looked at each other, and they both knew that Dong Zhuo was actually a jackal. , suddenly felt the same hatred towards the enemy. Yuan Shao shouted loudly: "Empress Dowager He, General Dong, and where is the emperor? Please come out together to distinguish right from wrong."
Dong Zhuo shouted: "The emperor is well in the back hall. You can go to see him at any time. I am really a loyal minister of the Han Dynasty. How can I ever have the intention to do harm?"
Chen Long suddenly shouted: "In that case, let's go to the back hall to see the emperor." He waved his hand, but his body did not move. Dong Zhuo was eager to clear his name or leave to find his troops, so he walked out of the hall first. All the officials followed with a snort, and they were all gone in an instant. Only Queen Mother He and Chen Long were left in the hall. The Empress Dowager He was about to speak when suddenly the sound of iron hoofs hitting the bluestone ground came from outside the palace. Chen Long was shocked and said: "Hurry up and leave!"
