The night gradually fell, the sun lost its light, the bright moon disappeared, and there were no stars. The whole land was shrouded in darkness, with patches of plain white and dots of white flowers scattered in the palace.
Liu He's small body was restrained and he stopped in a side hall. Xun You opened the palace door, and a pair of dark eyes stared at his leaving figure.
A slightly trembling voice with a slight smile came out: "Mouse, I caught you, what is your purpose?"
The moment Xun You walked out of the palace, his face changed drastically. Big drops of sweat flowed from his forehead, and he even broke out in cold sweat all over his body.
He knew he was exposed!
This was completely beyond his expectation. He didn't know which step caused the problem. He forcibly restrained his messy thoughts and took a deep breath to calm himself down.
"I have been exposed, but the ultimate goal of contacting Wushuang Hou must not be known, and Yuan Shao must not have been exposed.
Otherwise, I will be arrested directly. "
Xun You was thinking crazily as he hurried away, "It may be that he wants to follow the plan, but how can he follow the plan?
Wushuang Hou was prepared to die! "
Xun You's eyes were full of coldness, and the darkness in his character burst out crazily at this moment, "I will kill Dong Zhuo, even if the blood flows like a river!"
"What?"
Xun Chen and Yuan Shao both turned pale with shock.
Now if I say it, twists and turns will arise out of thin air. If Yuan Shao gives in, everything will be over!
The moment he heard this, Xun Chen immediately said anxiously to Yuan Shao: "My lord, the plan to assassinate Dong Zhuo must be stopped. This is simply a gamble. Even returning to Hebei to raise troops is better than this option.
Gongda, please put all your thoughts away. If you stay here, have you thought about your parents and family? "
Xun You's heart sank when he heard this. This was what he was worried about.
Xun Chen was his cousin and Yuan Shao's adviser. No matter who he was worried about, Xun Chen would definitely dissuade him.
After hearing Xun Chen's words, Yuan Shao fell silent. There were countless thoughts in his mind, and countless things and people flashed through his mind, and finally they fell on Luo Kong.
Yuan Shao sighed softly: "Youruo, Gongda is unwilling to stop, and Wushuanghou cannot stop either. How long can the emperor wait?
If I do nothing now and flee back to Hebei, what does it matter if I hold a sword in front of Dong Zhuo?
If the assassination of Dong Zhuo failed, there would naturally be nothing to say.
But being timid without fighting, retreating an inch today, retreating an inch tomorrow, and retreating whenever encountering difficulties and obstacles in the future?
Then how can you carry the three-foot sword to bring peace to the world? My sword is not bad at all! "
Yuan Shao's voice was very soft, but the sound was higher than the sound of thunder!
Xun Chen was silent when he heard this. As a counselor, he made up his mind. Once the lord made up his mind, his goal was to increase the winning rate. He secretly considered the power in his hands, bowed and said: "My lord, Chen understands."
Xun You looked at Yuan Shao with brilliant eyes. If it weren't for the fact that there were so many advisers under Yuan Shao's command, including those from Yingchuan and others from Hebei, he would have been ready to defect to Yuan Shao.
However, with his uncle in Yuan Shao's camp, even if Yuan Shao really succeeds in his great career in the future, as Xun Chen's nephew, it will not be difficult for him to change families. This is the way for a family to survive.
Yuan Shao faced Xun You and bowed without saying anything. Xun You bowed and bowed before leaving.
Watching Xun You leave, Yuan Shao touched the sword on his waist, seeming to be talking to himself, and seemed to be asking someone, "Can you save Wushuang Hou?"
In the palace, Xun You had been looking at the darkening sky since he left Luokong. From the moment Xun You came to him and told him the plan, he had been thinking about all the possibilities.
If Li Ru hadn't discovered it, everything would have gone on smoothly.
The probability of his own survival is very small, and the probability of the emperor's survival is higher than
Larger, provided that one can withstand the Xiliang army's counterattack.
Tang Ji slipped out of the palace and went to Luo Kong. She circled around Luo Kong. Liu He's death did not hurt Tang Ji that much.
Luo Kong looked at Tang Ji, who had no dignity as a queen at all, and couldn't help but think of his daughter. He gently touched her head and said, "Queen, are you afraid of death?"
The expression on Tang Ji's enjoying face was stagnant. She immediately grabbed Luo Kong's clothes and said tremblingly: "Junhou, what are you talking about? Of course you are scared, just like Liu He."
Luo Kong smiled, touched Tang Ji again and said, "It's okay, I was just talking casually."
A queen with Tang Ji's status has no political rights at all, and has no influence on the current situation.
Even Dong Zhuo and Li Ru would not take action against her, but Luo Kong was unwilling to let Tang Ji take any risks.
He wanted Tang Ji to live well in this world. A little girl should not be involved in these conspiracies and killings. With this thought, Luo Kong took off the jade pendant from his waist and handed it to Tang Ji. She said softly: "Queen, please keep this jade pendant. If you encounter danger in the future, take it off and say it was given to you by Wushuang Hou Luokong. As long as I can send you to Zhaocheng, I will be grateful."
Tang Ji was very pleasantly surprised. She took the jade pendant and turned it over and over. She liked it very much. She smiled and said: "Jun Hou, my father once said that I dare not refuse the gift given by the elders. You teach me to read. It is considered a blessing." My teacher, I will not refuse what you have given me.”
She was young, born young, with a childish and delicate face. She showed a sweet smile when she was happy, with thin white teeth and blinking pupils. She was very cute, making Luo Kong feel like he was in the mountains. The clear spring tinkled in my heart, feeling cool and refreshing.
Luo Kong stood up and walked into the palace, with Tang Ji following her.
Queen Mother He was extremely haggard. Although her beauty could not be concealed, she had completely lost the aura that controlled the world.
Looking at Luo Kong walking in, she forced a smile and said sadly: "How great would it be if Zhang Jiao had not died?
Although he was the one who overthrew the Han Dynasty's destiny, he was a gentleman.
How much better would it have been if Zhang Jue had died earlier and the prince had stayed in Luoyang City instead of running west with Bian'er?
How did it end up in this situation?
He'er is dead now, will something happen to Bian'er? Junhou, do you think something will happen to Bian'er?
Dong Zhuo is an evil thief!
He is a beastly demon! "
When people are extremely frightened, they will start to think wildly. Empress Dowager He is in such a state now. Seeing Luo Kong not speaking, Empress Dowager He took two steps forward.
Her charming face suddenly lit up and she said: "Bian'er will definitely die, Dong Zhuo will definitely kill him, how will I live without a child?
Junhou, you are the son of Luo. Dong Zhuo will definitely not want to kill you. Give me a child. "
Tang Ji and Luo Kong were shocked. They didn't expect Queen Mother He to say these words, which shows how messed up she was.
Luo Kong's expression was complicated. He really wanted to tell Queen Mother He that if Dong Zhuo really wanted to kill the emperor, you, the Queen Mother, wouldn't be able to run away, and you wouldn't have to think about how to live without a son for the rest of your life.
But looking at the haggard Queen Mother He who had long since lost her opinion, he still did not say such sharp words. He just said: "Queen Mother, you are tired, go down and rest."
In this palace, he is the one who dominates, not the queen mother and emperor who are the nominal supreme rulers.
Nothing happened in the city of Luoyang, under the bright sky.
In the palace, under the high palace walls, courtiers walked in the corridors in twos and threes, passing through the palace gates and coming towards the palace.
While the ministers were walking, there was a large chariot coming towards the palace, with a sturdy figure sitting on it, who was the powerful official Dong Zhuo.
There was no one in front of him, and all the courtiers were walking behind or behind him, looking at the chariot with hatred and fear in their eyes, and some with deep disdain in their eyes.
A group of people walked to the square in front of the temple
, the view suddenly broadened, and the white decorations on the top of the palace gave this majestic palace a touch of solemnity.
The Xiliang army surrounding the chariot instantly dispersed and headed towards the corners of the palace walls, leaving only the soldiers carrying the chariot forward.
This is the opportunity Xun You mentioned. When Dong Zhuo comes to the palace, he usually does not bring a particularly large number of soldiers and horses, because most of the forbidden troops in the palace are Xiliang soldiers disguised as soldiers.
Moreover, when entering the square in front of the palace, according to the rules, courtiers must remove their armor, but Dong Zhuo had the privilege of going to the palace with swords and shoes. However, under the strong opposition of the courtiers, Dong Zhuo still worried about the political impact and made some compromises.
A sudden change occurred. Hundreds of fully armored soldiers, holding weapons in their hands, suddenly rushed out from the corridors on both sides. The souls of all the courtiers were instantly lost. Someone roared: "Dong Zhuo, how dare you!"
Then I heard these soldiers shouting loudly: "That's Dong Zhuo on the chariot, shoot arrows! Shoot arrows!"
He actually came to assassinate Dong Zhuo!
The courtiers who reacted fled in a direction away from Dong Zhuo's chariot. Xun You, who was at the back of the crowd, stared at the soldiers who suddenly came out in shock.
He immediately thought that this must be another force in Luoyang City, the former Taiping Army among the Forbidden Army!
Why did these people come to kill Dong Zhuo?
Since Dong Zhuo entered Luoyang City, especially after Luo left, he treated these Taiping troops very well. Almost everyone thought that these Taiping troops had defected to Dong Zhuo.
It is precisely for this reason that Dong Zhuo's power is greater than that of Yuan Shao, and even makes everyone unable to resist. The difference in strength is really too big, that is almost ten times the difference in strength.
But now it seems that these Taiping Army and Dong Zhuo are not only not of the same mind, but even have the same intention!
Xun You was very upset. If he had known about this situation earlier, he would not have to expend so much effort to do those things. The Taiping Army and Yuan Shao should cooperate internally and externally, and Dong Zhuo would definitely die without a burial place.
The reason why Bu Cai and others did this is very simple, because before Luo Xiao died, he told them how to choose the lord. These three people used the standards given by Luo Xiao to deal with Dong Zhuo, and the more they were right, the more wrong they were.
There is basically nothing Dong Zhuo can do, and he is definitely a prince destined to fail.
The most important thing is that after Dong Zhuo entered Luoyang City, his reputation was worse than that of the Taiping Army.
When they entered Luoyang City, they directly killed the emperor. Even so, their reputation among the nobles was not as bad as Dong Zhuo's.
Together, the three brothers cannot stay on Dong Zhuo's big ship, and must completely draw a clear line with Dong Zhuo.
The Taoist master said that those who win the hearts of the nobles may not necessarily win the world, but those who lose the hearts of the nobles will definitely fail. There is nothing that can win the hearts of the nobles more than killing Dong Zhuo.
Especially after Yuan Shao's incident, the three of them all knew that there were many former Taiping Army brothers under Yuan Shao's command, and they were in dangerous positions, which made the three of them couldn't help but feel good about Yuan Shao.
Killing Dong Zhuo is the declaration of surrender by Bu Cai and the others to the people of the world!
These Taiping troops who suddenly rushed out fired arrows at the chariot. Dong Zhuo, who was on top of the chariot, immediately turned over and said angrily: "Guard, guard!"
The few remaining guards around him quickly pushed away the arrows and raised their shields. The Xiliang army that had dispersed before rushed over with swords and was about to merge with the Taiping army.
The three people led by Bu Cai were all the most elite Taiping troops, and they were thinking of a surprise attack with elite soldiers. If the surprise attack with elite soldiers failed, the three of them would not mind leading a large army to fight Dong Zhuozhen.
Although Dong Zhuo has many soldiers, he may not be able to display them in this palace.
As long as they can kill Dong Zhuo here and throw Dong Zhuo's body out, the Xiliang Army will naturally defeat itself. Just like when the Taoist Master died, the Taiping Army suddenly became a piece of loose sand and now no longer exists in the world. generally.
As Dong Zhuo shouted, more and more Xiliang troops poured out of the corridor. Bu Cai and the others knew that they could still fight if they really wanted to, but it would be difficult to kill Dong Zhuo. If there were too many people, it would be difficult to kill him. .
Zhou Cang was hacked to death with a knife
A Xiliang soldier asked loudly: "Fourth brother, what should we do now?"
Bu Cai shouted loudly while fighting: "Let the brothers gather together. The Xiliang army has reinforcements, don't we? Bring all the brothers in the palace and fight with these Xiliang troops."
"laugh!"
Suddenly there was the sound of an extremely sharp arrow piercing the air, followed by an obvious "puff" sound of penetrating flesh and blood.
This sound was so loud that even in such a noisy battle, it still attracted the attention of most people. Everyone wanted to know where it came from and where it was going!
Looking from a distance, at the end of the sight, under the hidden palace wall, a figure with a knife on his waist and a big bow in his hand was slowly lowering his arm.
The bowstring of the big bow was still trembling, and the figure was not wearing armor, so everyone could see clearly that it was Wushuang Hou Luokong!
Why is there a bow in his hand? Why is there a knife in his waist? Where did his arrow go?
This was not a problem. Both the fighting soldiers and the courtiers who were fleeing for cover all set their sights on where Dong Zhuo was.
Dong Zhuo was pinned to the corner of the wall by a trembling arrow. The power of that arrow was so great that it even penetrated the wall for three points!
Dong Zhuo is dead?
Dong Zhuo died so easily?
Everyone was in disbelief. That powerful and powerful minister, the eldest female minister, actually died like this?
"He doesn't seem to be Dong Zhuo!"
A gust of wind blew open the gauze curtain covering the chariot in front of everyone, completely revealing Dong Zhuo's true face nailed to the wall.
"It's really not Dong Zhuo."
The figure looked very similar to Dong Zhuo, but his face was far different. The figure riding the chariot turned out to be not Dong Zhuo, but a substitute!
Xun You's eyes turned cold, as if he had fallen into an ice cellar. He looked at Wang Yun with some difficulty. Wang Yun also looked at Xun You in shock and inexplicable. He didn't understand why Dong Zhuo wasn't here.
He has defected to Dong Zhuo since he started to rise in power. Because of his previous experience of defecting to Zhang Jue and even licking Zhang Jue, Wang Yun has a very bad reputation in Luoyang City. In the eyes of most people, he is a follower of others, keen on power, and greedy for profit. generation.
Dong Zhuo never suspected that Wang Yun had other purposes. Although Wang Yun had a somewhat bad reputation, he was still a great scholar, one of the leaders of the scholars, and one of the ministers of the previous court. He readily accepted Wang Yun's offer. Take refuge.
Wang Yun and Xun You soon got together. This time to assassinate Dong Zhuo, the seven-star sword worn by Luo Kong on his waist was his treasure!
"Li Ru!"
Xun You still didn't understand what happened. Wang Yun must have exposed a flaw in front of Li Ru, so what happened now happened.
Where is Dong Zhuo?
Xun You had no time to think about it when he heard the sound of shouting and killing outside the palace. Bu Cai was so shocked by this turn of events that he could not speak. He never expected that there would be other people besides himself. Also want to kill Dong Zhuo.
When Luo Kong saw that Dong Zhuo was fake, his expression immediately changed, and he felt his head was dizzy, "Your Majesty!"
He didn't even have time to think, so he ran madly towards the emperor's palace. As soon as he arrived outside the palace, he saw a row of Xiliang soldiers, and his eyes instantly went dark.
When the soldiers saw Luo Kong rushing towards him, they immediately rushed up. Luo Kong pulled out the seven-star sword. This sword was indeed Wang Yun's treasure. It cut iron like clay. The soldiers' thin armor looked like it was made of paper in front of the sword. , while the blade was waving, soldiers fell one by one. Luo Kong was originally the strongest group of people among ten thousand enemies. Now he was burning his life crazily, and he was no worse than a real ten thousand enemies!
However, for the sake of flexibility, he only wore a piece of leather armor before, and blood soon stained his clothes, but he became more and more crazy, and kept rushing forward.
The soldiers of Xiliang were even a little frightened when they saw this. On the battlefield, these ordinary soldiers were not willing to exchange their lives for the enemy general's physical strength.
The palace door was wide open, and Luo Kong rushed in directly.
The Xiliang sergeant followed, but he remembered his previous order and was absolutely not allowed to enter, so he hesitated for a moment.
The palace was quite empty. Luo Kong was breathing heavily, and the wounds that were bleeding on his body gradually solidified. He took a look in the palace and heard someone crying softly behind the pillars. He rushed over and it turned out to be Tang Ji. As he was curling up, he heard footsteps and immediately cried, "Don't catch me, don't catch me!"
Luo Kong said softly: "The queen is a humble minister."
Tang Ji stopped sobbing and raised her head. When she saw it was Luo Kong, she was stunned for a moment, then rushed over to her without caring about the blood on Luo Kong's body, and immediately started crying.
Luo Kong held Tang Ji in one hand and walked towards the apse pointed by Tang Ji. He walked quickly to the apse and heard the sound of struggling. He rushed in and saw the Queen Mother He and Liu Bianzheng in great pain. They were curled up on the ground, with two empty cups in front of them, and Li Ru and several Xiliang soldiers were guarding them.
Luo Kong's body swayed, and he was instantly furious. He knew that he was late.
"Dong Zhuo! Li Ru! You deserve to die! You deserve to die!"
Luo Kong's voice was as cold as the coldest ten thousand-year-old black ice, but the anger contained in it was like the hottest magma, wanting to destroy everything.
Hearing Luo Kong's voice, Li Ru seemed not to have expected that Luo Kong would come here so quickly. He didn't understand why Luo Kong appeared when there were so many Xiliang troops outside the palace, and he was stunned. .
Several Xiliang soldiers rushed over and were stabbed one by one by Luo Kong. Luo Kong stared at Li Ru coldly and walked past with the sword in hand. Li Ru couldn't help but step back.
"Stop hurting the military advisor!"
The general who had been standing next to Li Ru roared when he saw this, "I am General Hua Xiong of Xiliang!"
At a glance, Luo Kong knew that this was a fierce general. If he were on the battlefield, he might not be able to defeat him in a short time, but so what?
There are battlefield fighting styles on the battlefield, one-on-one combat skills, and there is also a seven-star sword that can cut iron like clay!
Luo Kong recalled the Qi Condensation Technique in the family classics, and stepped forward. The afterimage of the Seven-Star Sword was almost invisible to the human eye. The two passed each other, leaving a heavy wound on Luo Kong's chest, but Hua Xiong The weapon in his hand broke directly into two pieces, a gap opened between the eyebrows and then suddenly split into two halves. The white brains mixed with blood and then spilled down.
Luo Kong lifted Li Ru up and roared, "Where is Dong Zhuo?"
Li Ru's neck was pinched by Luo Kong, and he struggled to say: "Wu Shuanghou, are you going to take revenge? I'm afraid it's meaningless. Just kill me. It means you have avenged the little emperor.
The lord's great cause is about to be completed, and everything is too late. Luo Kong gritted his teeth, "Li Ru, Li Ru!"
The Luo family will never allow someone like Dong Zhuo to take over the world. Emperor Su will punish him. Do you think Dong Zhuo can really accomplish your so-called great cause?
Luo Shi's desire to destroy him is like killing an insect! "
Li Ru's eyes suddenly lit up as he was begging for death. He wanted to struggle, "This is impossible..."
Luo Kong directly penetrated Li Ru's chest with a knife, and large mouthfuls of blood gushed out from Li Ru's throat, swallowing all his last words. Li Ru wanted to ask why, but he couldn't. , with eyes full of unwillingness to die.
Luo Kong threw Li Ru's body aside and quickly ran to Liu Bian and Queen Mother He. He saw that Liu Bian had been crying uncontrollably. Luo Kong's heart sank to the bottom when he felt his pulse. , Liu Bian said in pain: "Junhou, teacher, I'm going to die."
Luo Kong hugged Liu Bian and couldn't help but let out a sad roar. Liu Bian turned his head and looked at Tang Ji, who couldn't help crying, and then looked at Luo Kong, who was still grieving, "Teacher, don't die.
Please send someone to take the queen away, bring her to Zhaocheng, and find someone to marry her to. She doesn’t understand anything yet. "
Luo Kong nodded with tears in his eyes. He would send Empress Tang away. Liu Bian trembled and wanted to say something, but the corners of his mouth trembled but could not say anything. For a child like him, this was
The poison is so strong that it is the limit of how long it can last.
Luo Kong could feel Liu Bian's body gradually getting colder. He carried Liu Bian's body to Queen Mother He. Queen Mother He, who was also seriously poisoned, trembled and touched Liu Bian's face. The tears on her face were unknown. Is it the effect of the poison or is it coming from her heart, maybe both.
In just a few days, she lost two of her biological sons. She was a bad woman, but her sons were everything to her, and now they are all gone.
Queen Mother He looked at Luo Kong's cheek. The poison made her hallucinate. At a certain moment, she suddenly said: "Junhou, you look just like that Zhang Jiao!"
Just like a towering mountain!
Queen Mother He didn't say this half sentence, she died.
This woman once enjoyed all the glory and wealth. She once reached the pinnacle of her life and suppressed the concubines in Emperor Ling's palace wantonly. She even almost couldn't even give birth to Liu Xie.
She once encountered the lowest point in her life. After the death of the Spiritual Emperor, she became a prisoner and had to endure hardships just to keep her son alive.
But in the end everything ended, what she wanted to protect was not protected, everything she wanted to leave behind was lost, as if in response to everything she had ever done.
Her face was still beautiful, no one would question it, but it no longer had the brilliance of the past and quickly turned gray.
Looking at the corpses of Queen Mother He and Liu Bian lying in front of him, Luo Kong felt a little dizzy and his body felt a little cold. He understood that this was caused by too many injuries and too much blood.
His life is also flowing away with the flow of blood.
Luo Kong controlled himself and stood up. The Queen Mother and the Emperor arranged their appearance, and then said to Tang Ji: "Queen, we are the only ones left now. I will send you out."
Then come back for revenge!
Luo Kong took Tang Ji tightly with him, holding the seven-star sword in his hand. When he left the back hall, he saw clumps of Xiliang troops!
Killing intent permeates the air!
Dong Zhuo was a jackal. The emperor was close to the sky and attracted Dong Zhuo's evil. He wanted to kill him, so he made Li Ru, a servant, poison the emperor. The emperor refused, and Li Ru forced him, so the emperor drank with the Queen Mother He.
Wushuang conspired with Xun You, Yuan Shao, and Wang Yun to kill Dong Zhuo, but failed and galloped back, only to find the Empress of the Tang Dynasty. Both the emperor and the empress dowager were dead. The emperor noticed that Wushuang was sad and wanted to distract him with his secular affairs, so he said: "Honored Master, Concubine Tang Therefore, the queen of the emperor is a noble person in Tianhuang and has the honor of the royal family. If she is the wife of officials and people, it is not acceptable. Please choose a noble son in Zhaocheng and bid farewell to her from now on."
Wushuang couldn't stop weeping and was determined to die, but because of the emperor's entrustment, he gathered the emperor and the empress dowager and took the empress of Tang out. ——"Book of the Later Han Dynasty: The Book of Filial Piety"
