The soldiers did not expect that Li Jue would run away first, and the originally stable formation collapsed in an instant.
These soldiers who had just come off the battlefield followed Li Jue and ran towards the palace gate as if they were flying.
They no longer had any courage to face the trees behind them.
They were not afraid when facing Zhu Jun's thousands of troops on the battlefield, but when facing the trees, their spirits were crushed by boundless fear.
They can't kill an unkillable monster.
The forest tree holding two axes is this monster.
While escaping, they didn't even dare to look back at Lin Mu.
When they burned the palace, they left a path for themselves, which was their planned retreat after their success.
But now this road has become their only hope of escape.
The soldiers scrambled to escape, leaving their backs completely to Lin Mu.
Lin Mu saw that these soldiers wanted to escape, how could they let them go so easily?
Seeing the soldiers fleeing in front, Lin Mu casually threw the ax.
The flying ax smashed several soldiers directly into pieces and then hit the ground.
When many soldiers saw the flying ax flying from behind, their hearts almost jumped out of their throats.
No one can catch this flying ax, and nothing can stop it.
Once hit by this flying ax, even if it does not penetrate their bodies, it will take away large pieces of flesh and blood from their bodies.
After the fright, there was ecstasy. They could still see the flying ax, which meant that they were still alive and the flying ax did not hit them.
They didn't dare to think anything about the flying ax that smashed into the ground, and quickly passed the flying ax and ran forward.
While running wildly, he threw aside the weapons on his body. Not only the weapons, but also the armor on his body were also taken off as he ran.
They had long discovered that in the battle with Lin Mu, these so-called armors did not help them at all.
The armor that had protected them from swords, spears, and halberds in the past was as fragile as paper in Lin Mu's hands.
But before the remaining soldiers could take off their armor.
Lin Mu had already reached the spot where the flying ax fell and picked it up again.
Another flying ax flew out, and several soldiers were smashed into pieces again.
Every one of the soldiers was running desperately, not daring to stop at all, but this was of no use. No matter how fast they ran, they couldn't outrun the flying axe.
The forest trees grew like this, and they fought all the way from Chongde Hall to the entrance of the palace, flying dozens of axes along the way.
After the killing, the soldiers who were fleeing in front heard the sound of the flying ax breaking through the air, and they quickly lay down on the ground for fear of being smashed by the flying axe.
But the more I ran, the fewer my colleagues were around me, and soon there were only a few left.
Behind Lin Mu, beside the Chongde Hall, Bian Jin was looking at Lin Mu's heroic figure with great excitement.
After seeing Lin Mu kill hundreds of soldiers alone, he couldn't help but feel excited.
After running out of Chongde Hall, he picked up a smashed knife in the hands of a dead soldier, howled and chased the soldiers with Lin Mu.
………
In Luoyang City, in a luxurious hall.
Many courtiers drank and had fun to congratulate Dong Zhuo, but their expressions were full of desolation.
Yuan Wei was actually ordered to be killed by Dong Zhuo in front of them.
It can be said that the four generations and three princes of the Yuan family, their disciples and old officials are all over the world.
But now he was killed so easily. With Dong Zhuo's order, the entire Yuan family died.
Yuan Wei's head was also presented, and everyone went to see Yuan Wei's head.
But they didn't have the slightest idea of resisting. There were not only many courtiers here, but also generals who had just returned from the battle.
These generals killed people like crazy and didn't care what their status was. Once they made Dong Zhuo unhappy, what could they do even if they were as high as Yuan Wei?
What's more, Dong Zhuo was once an official of Yuan Wei. Dong Zhuo could get rid of this relationship without hesitation, so what did they think?
Therefore, no one dared to say anything to Dong Zhuo. After killing Yuan Wei, this banquet was like a celebration banquet held by Dong Zhuo specifically for these soldiers.
No one dared to mention Yuan Wei, so they could only sit in their seats.
Celebration banquets are indispensable for wine, and the banquet lasted from Xu to Hai.
When everyone was drunk, one of Dong Zhuo's personal guards stepped forward and reported something to Dong Zhuo.
Because of the singing and dancing, everyone couldn't hear it clearly, but everyone soon knew it.
"What? The palace is on fire?"
Dong Zhuo stood up and came outside the palace, looked at the red sky, and said in surprise to the soldiers who came to report.
Many courtiers looked at Dong Zhuo's appearance and wondered whether Dong Zhuo really didn't know or was just pretending, so they didn't dare to speak at all.
Now that Yuan Wei is dead, no one dares to openly oppose Dong Zhuo.
Dong Zhuo is the sky of Luoyang, even the emperor cannot compare with him.
It was such a big thing that the palace was on fire, and it was so obvious. It wasn't that no one saw it, it was just that no one dared to say it.
They could almost see the black smoke coming from the direction of the palace with their naked eyes. How could Dong Zhuo not know?
It is even possible that Dong Zhuo started the fire.
This was originally a guess, but now that the fire was half burned, Dong Zhuo said that the palace was on fire.
All the courtiers were almost certain that Dong Zhuo was responsible for setting this fire.
Seeing Dong Zhuo say this, everyone still didn't understand what Dong Zhuo meant.
At this time, Wang Yun, who was sitting under Dong Zhuo, stood up and bowed his hands to Dong Zhuo.
"Master Dong, if there is a fire in the palace, the Emperor may be in trouble. Please go and help."
Wang Yun himself has always been upright. If he is in adversity, he can still stick to his heart and remain calm, but he will become arrogant once the wind blows.
But now the situation is a big headwind, and Wang Yun's thinking has become clear.
Yuan Wei was killed, and there was no one in Luoyang City who could unite the many loyal ministers, and now he was the only one with the highest reputation and position.
Wang Yun is now Situ, and Situ is one of the three princes.
At this time, Wang Yun stood up, and then he became the backbone of these aristocratic families who were at odds with Dong Zhuo. These aristocratic families did not need Wang Yun to tell them, they would take the initiative to form a good relationship with Wang Yun.
In addition to the current situation, the emperor cannot get into trouble. As a civil servant, Wang Yun is also scheming and has a deeper understanding of the court than Dong Zhuo.
Dong Zhuo snorted with some dissatisfaction, and anyone could hear the dissatisfaction mixed in this snort.
In the past, these officials would not be so afraid, but now that the Yuan family is in front, who dares to disrespect Dong Zhuo.
Some officials were so frightened that they broke out in cold sweat, but Wang Yun remained the same.
Seeing Wang Yun like this, Dong Zhuo couldn't help but feel agitated.
I sighed in my heart: Why are there so many rotten literati? After killing one Yuan Wei, why did another Wang Yun appear?
