Chapter 30 [029] No Fall? Take the piano

On the way to Chang'an, Lu Bu's eyes were always uncontrollably looking at Diao Chan, who was walking half a step behind him. Diao Chan was wrapped in a cloak to protect herself from the cold, she held the reins firmly with both hands, and while controlling the horse, she held Lu Lingqi, who was drowsy in her arms, in a protective posture.

This thing...... How did it happen? Lu Bu's eyes were full of confusion, and even now that he thought about it, all of them were still like a dream.

My mind went back to twelve hours ago, when it was getting late and the sun was setting.

LΓΌ Bu took Zhang Liao around the Xieyuguan camp to make rounds, and had daily verbal ridicule with Hu Zhen as usual, and then he returned to his camp.

The moment he lifted the curtain, Lu Bu's whole person was confused, he stared at the delicate and beautiful figure sitting on the side of the bed, that figure appeared countless times in his dreams, and every time he woke up, he felt that the pain in his heart was aggravated. But apart from constantly missing it, Lu Bu didn't know what to do.

Obviously he met her first! Lu Bu wanted to ask Diao Chan if he was forced, but since that day, Dong Zhuo patted him on the shoulder happily and said, "Fengxian, Dad is going to get married", and introduced the bride to him, Lu Bu has never seen Diao Chan again.

Lu Bu also asked Dong Zhuo about the whereabouts of Diao Chan, but every time he got only a meaningful look from Dong Zhuo. The longer the time dragged on, the more Lu Bu doubted that Diao Chan had encountered some danger, but he couldn't even investigate.

"Mink...... Cicada? Lu Bu opened his mouth, and after the words came out, he realized that his voice was so hoarse: "Why are you ......?"

"Shh Diao Chan turned her head to look at Lu Bu, she touched her lips lightly, and pointed to the bed with the other hand. Following her guidance, Lu Bu realized that the person sleeping on the couch turned out to be his own daughter Lu Lingqi.

Lu Bu instantly sensed that something was wrong, he didn't walk over immediately, but first called Zhang Liao and told him to guard the tent and no one was allowed to trespass, so he stepped into the tent door and walked to Diao Chan's side and asked in a low voice, "What's the matter?" You...... Where exactly did you go before? Why are you here? Why is Lingqi here? ”

Lu Bu, whose thoughts were in a mess, asked a lot of questions incoherently, Diao Chan did not interrupt him, but listened quietly, and then pressed Lu Bu's shoulder to let him sit down in front of him. She said softly, "My lord, I am here to see your adult for the last time. ”

Facing Lu Bu's instantly discolored face, Diao Chan looked sad and said: "The Taishi killed his father-in-law and wanted to kill me, I'm not afraid of death......"

"But I still want to see you."

Diao Chan told Lu Bu about her reasons for coming to Xieyuguan, including the serial tricks that Wang Yun used to get rid of Dong Zhuo and the fact that Wang Yun had been secretly escorted away the night before Dong Zhuo moved the capital and executed as soon as he arrived in Chang'an. After hearing this qiΔ“, Lu Bu seemed to be stunned, he stared at Diao Chan in a daze, unable to say a word. Seeing this scene, Diao Chan sighed softly, and she smiled at Lu Bu: "Feng Xian...... My lord, I don't ask for your forgiveness, but Lingqi is innocent, and the Dong thief has murderous intentions towards you, and ordered Hu Wencai to take the opportunity to get rid of you at Xieyu Pass, and the envoy sent is already on the way. If Lingqi stays in Chang'an City, her life will be in danger, and I can only take her to escape to find you. Now that Lingqi is safe, I don't have anything to worry about, so I will leave here, hoping that my lord will take care. ”

After Diao Chan finished speaking, he stood up and bowed respectfully to Lu Bu, turned around and walked out of the tent.

After walking for two steps, Lu Bu suddenly reached out and grabbed Diao Chan: "You wait!" ”

Diao Chan tilted her head slightly to look at him.

"I'll only ask you one thing......" Lu Bu stood up and looked at Diao Chan condescendingly, obviously he should be the strong side, but he didn't even know where to put his hand. After hesitating for a long time, Lu Bu slammed down Diao Chan's shoulder: "Diao Chan girl, you ...... me Are you ......"

Diao Chan looked at Lu Bu gently, feeling the gaze of her gaze, Lu Bu gradually quieted down, and he finally made up his mind: "Diao Chan girl, do you like - no, are you willing to marry me?" ”

Diao Chan's eyes widened suddenly, she thought about a lot of Lu Bu's possible reactions, but she didn't expect it to be this, or she didn't dare to think about it at all. Feeling that his heart was gradually filled with joyful love, looking at Lu Bu's hopeful eyes, Diao Chan finally closed his eyes and nodded slightly.

Diao Chan didn't say how she, a weak woman, took Lu Lingqi, a child, to sneak into the heavily defended Xieyu Pass without alarming anyone, and Lu Bu didn't ask much, for him, as long as Diao Chan and Lu Lingqi were safe, it was enough.

Handed over the edict given by the emperor to Lu Bu, Diao Chan explained: "It was Lord Yang and Lord Jia who released me from prison, and I hid in the coffin with Lingqi and pretended to be the funeral person's house, so I escaped from Chang'an City." ”

"Thank you for your hard work." Lu Bu patted Diao Chan's head, and a trace of pity flashed in his eyes.

Diao Chan shook his head: "It's nothing, the two adults said that they have already arranged a qiΔ“, just waiting for your soldiers to come to the city." ”

Speaking of this, Diao Chan suddenly stopped, and in the face of Lu Bu's puzzled gaze, she hesitated for a while and then spoke: "My lord, if you don't want to ......"

"Dong Zhongying has been looking at me for a long time, and I knew that he would do something to me one day." Lu Bu calmly interrupted Diao Chan's words: "But it's okay, because I want to kill him too." ”

The next thing was much easier, Lu Bu asked Zhang Liao to mobilize the state army and quietly surround the main tent just in case, and then he went to find Hu Zhen single-handedly. Hu Zhen didn't wait to see Lu Bu, he felt very strange when he came over at night, and he didn't look at him directly. It just so happened that General Pi informed someone from Chang'an City to send a secret letter to Hu Zhen, and Hu Zhen asked General Pi to call people in. At this time, I saw Lu Bu's face change sharply, he suddenly raised his hand and pulled out the saber on his waist, and in Hu Zhen's frightened and surprised gaze, he raised the knife and killed the person neatly.

Lu Bu's movements were fast, and Zhang Liao's movements were not slow, and he quickly controlled Hu Zhen's personal guards. As for the rest of the soldiers, they don't care whether their boss is Hu Zhen or Lu Bu, whoever can give them food and let them live, the soldiers will listen to whomever they want.

So when Lu Lingqi, who woke up, rubbed his eyes and came out in a daze to look for Diao Chan, the military power of Xieyu Pass had been seized by Lu Bu, and he was standing on the high platform at this time to denounce Dong Zhuo's atrocities. Lu Lingqi searched for a while and found no trace of Diao Chan, she came to Zhang Liao's side with some grievances: "Brother Wenyuan, where is Sister Diao Chan?" ”

Zhang Liao looked at Lu Lingqi dumbfounded: "Xiaoling, how could you ...... Over here?! ”

"Sister Diao Chan brought me here." Lu Lingqi blinked: "Sister Diao Chan is amazing!" As soon as she raised her hand, she swished, and the people were put down. ”

Zhang Liaoxin said, I didn't find that Diao Chan girl had this ability.

The army is a place where the strong are respected, so Lu Bu has always been very respected in the army, after he ascended to the heights, those soldiers who were still hesitant suddenly strengthened their beliefs, and followed Lu Bu to the direction of Chang'an.

Before leaving, Lu Bu originally wanted to leave some people to guard Xieyu Pass, after all, Shen Xian's 30,000 Yizhou troops were camped in Taochuan not far away, and when they left, I was afraid that they would receive a letter to catch up with them in a short time.

But Diao Chan thought it was completely unnecessary: "My lord, we are going to Chang'an City to punish thieves, and Liu Shangyu's Yizhou army is also to punish thieves, since the purpose is the same, why not sell his personal favor?" ”

Gao Shun, who has always been silent, also supported Diao Chan's opinion: "Diao Chan girl is reasonable, one more ally is better than one more enemy." ”

So Lu Bu simply took everyone away.

Shi Chang, who guarded the gate of Zhangcheng, lazily leaned on the corner of the city tower and looked into the distance, and the overcast sky finally cleared, which made people's mood unconsciously become much better. After looking at it for a while, he felt a little hungry, he yawned, and was about to turn around and go downstairs to find something to eat, when suddenly he caught a glimpse of something rushing towards him on the plain in the distance, so he stopped and fixed his eyes.

It didn't matter what he saw, Shi Chang's face turned pale with fright, and he recognized that the black line on the horizon in the distance that was rapidly pressing was clearly the neatly arranged army! It looks like there are at least tens of thousands!

Where is the army? Cao Cao's? Liu Xian's? Or is it Ma Teng's? No matter which side it is, they can break through the blockade of Dong Zhuo's army and fight to Chang'an City!

Although Chang'an City is high and strong, it has two fatal shortcomings, one is that it has twelve gates, and there are only 10,000 defenders in the city. The second is that Chang'an City surrounds and flows through the eight water systems, which is a famous scene in the world in peacetime, "eight rivers around Chang'an", which can be put in the war period, which is to open the convenient door for the enemy to attack by water.

Not only Shi Chang, but the other soldiers defending the city also noticed the scene of the army rushing towards them, and everyone was immediately in chaos. Shi Chang took a deep breath and shouted with fear: "What are you panicking about! Don't go tell the adults yet! Close the gates first! ”

Someone in charge is equivalent to having a backbone, and the chaotic soldiers temporarily settled down, and everyone hurriedly ran downstairs to close the city gates, and at the same time sent someone to inform the other city gates to close them together, so as to prevent the enemy from making a detour into the city.

After doing this, Shi Chang barely stood on the city tower with weak legs, and watched the army approach the city gate in the blink of an eye, and at the same time, a thunderous roar exploded in his ears, and his whole person was stunned: "Jiuyuan Lu Feng is here first!" Feng Tianzi edict Dong thief! Open the gatesβ€”"

What the? The army besieging the city was not Cao Cao, Liu Xian, and Ma Teng, but Lu Bu? Is it your own person? Lu Bu reversed?!

A great fear rose in his heart, and Shi Chang's mind went blank, and he just wanted to hurry downstairs and tell the adults above about this amazing news. However, before Shi Chang could turn around, he felt a cold hand pressing on his shoulder.

"Who?!" Shi Chang turned around and retreated in a panic like a frightened bird, he hurriedly wanted to draw his sword, but he was completely relieved after seeing the person who came clearly: "Lord Yang! Lord Xu! Lord Jia! Lu and Lu Feng are under the city first! ”

The three people who came together were Yang Biao, Xu Rong and Jia Xu, hearing Shi Chang's words, they looked at each other, Jia Xu smiled slightly, took a few steps forward to Shi Chang's side, and casually raised his hand to press on his shoulder, as if to comfort him: "Don't panic, calm down." ”

"Thank you, sir." Shi Chang looked at Jia Xu with great trepidation, he knew that this person was originally not famous, but after Dong Zhuo came to Chang'an, he was promoted very quickly, and he had achieved the position of Guanglu doctor in just a few months. It is said that this man is very scheming and terrifying, but Shi Chang only thinks that he is a very gentle young man.

"Nothing." Jia Xu shook his head, and he suddenly asked, "Should you do something?" ”

"The subordinates sent people to inform the guards of the other city gates to defend strictly, and they have already reported the matter to the top...... "It was originally a good opportunity to invite merit, but Shi Chang felt that the more he said, the tighter Jia Xu's brows wrinkled.

"Tsk, that's not what I meant." Jia Xu sighed, and the wrist he pressed on Shi Chang's shoulder flipped over, and the dagger that was originally hidden in his sleeve was instantly unsheathed, and the sharp blade was coldly attached to Shi Chang's neck. Looking at Shi Chang, who was stunned, Jia Xu smiled slightly and said, "I mean, bring the key, you should go and open the city gate." ”

Shi Chang finally understood the horror of Jia Xu.

Jia Xu and Yang Biao's action was much stronger than Wang Yun's, and this time there was finally no pig teammates to drag them back, and Lu Bu's army drove into Chang'an City smoothly. After Xu Rong, who commanded the forbidden army, was rebelled, only two-thirds of the 10,000 people in Dong Zhuo's hands were left, and these two-thirds also lost their fighting spirit and surrendered after seeing that it was "their own people" who attacked the city.

When Dong Zhuo heard the news of Lu Bu's betrayal and had already hit the city, he was immediately frightened, and he turned around and ran towards the forbidden palace, wanting to kidnap the emperor to protect himself. It's a pity that Yang Biao and Xu Rong have already transferred the emperor, Dong Zhuo pounced, and met Lu Bu who rushed to the palace gate, and he was hacked to death with Fang Tian's halberd before he even said a word to beg for mercy.

After killing Dong Zhuo, a little eunuch from the Yellow Gate came to deliver a decree, saying that His Majesty Xuan Lu Bu had come to see him, and Yang Biao took Lu Bu, Zhang Liao, Gao Shun and others to see the emperor together. Jia Xutui said that he still had something to do, and His Majesty had not announced it, so he wouldn't go to join in the fun. Yang Biao didn't insist, he just glanced at Jia Xu meaningfully.

When the soldiers pushed Li Ru, who was tied up by five flowers, and walked over, Jia Xu was leaning against the gate of the palace casually, and after seeing Li Ru, he got up respectfully and made a gesture: "Lord Li, don't come unharmed?" ”

Seeing this scene, no matter how stupid Li Ru was, he knew that he was being put on a role by Jia Xu, and after staring at Jia Xu for a long time, he suddenly laughed: "Wenhe, Wenhe, I really didn't read it wrong...... I should have killed you sooner. ”

Jia Xu replied calmly: "Thank you for not killing." ”

"Don't be complacent!" Li Ru's face suddenly changed, and he roared fiercely: "You think they treat you as their own? I'll see how long you can be happy! On Huangquan Road, I'm waiting for you to walk along! ”

Li Ru was pushed away by the soldiers, and Jia Xu stepped aside, looking at the backs of those people in the distance, his eyes slowly narrowed.

The ten-year-old little emperor sat expressionlessly on the throne in a complicated and heavy imperial robe, and Wang Yue and Huangfu Song stood beside him. Seeing Lu Bu, who was coming towards him with a bloody killing and carrying Fang Tian's halberd, the little emperor's hand hidden under his long sleeves unconsciously clenched slightly, and his face became gloomy.

Lu Bu stood still dozens of steps in front of the emperor, he squinted at the emperor, neither saluted nor spoke, Wang Yue and Huangfu Song frowned, Huangfu Song just wanted to open his mouth to reprimand, he saw Lu Bu throw Fang Tian's halberd to the side, and saluted the emperor with a big grin.

"Lu Feng killed Dong Thief first, escorted the meritorious service, and was specially named the general of Fenwu, in charge of the soldiers and horses in the capital, in order to show his praise......"

Wang Yue read out the emperor's decree in a flat tone in his cold voice, and after reading it, Lu Bu thanked him without any sincerity. Next, Wang Yue sent the emperor back to the palace, and Huangfu Song asked Lu Bu and Yang Biao to discuss the matter of destroying Dong Zhuoyu's party.

Huangfu Song meant to let Shen Xian and Ma Teng send troops to kill Li Dao in Sanguan, and then he took a small number of soldiers and horses to Hangu Pass to join forces with Cao Cao to eliminate Niu Fu and others, and the remaining Guo Yan, who was the most difficult to deal with, was handed over to Lu Bu. Lu Bu didn't have any opinion on this, so the matter was settled.

After the three of them finished discussing, they didn't see Jia Xu coming, and Yang Biao's subordinates reported that Jia Xu felt that he was not feeling well today, and later went home from illness, and his subordinates did not find his people. This was a prevarication as soon as he heard this, and it was obviously Jia Xu's usual method, but Yang Biao was not angry, he just said: "Then give the task of giving Liu Shangyu the task of passing the decree to Wenhe." ”

"What does that mean?" Huangfu Song was a little puzzled: "Jia Wen and this person ......"

"I know." Yang Biao laughed lightly: "So I asked him to pass on the decree to Liu Shangyu - sell him his personal favor." ”

The turmoil in Chang'an City Shen Xian didn't know for the time being, she was in a good mood today, because she received a flying pigeon from Sun Ce. The letter said that Hangu Pass could not be attacked for a long time, and Yuan Shu was very dissatisfied, plus Yuan Shao, who was in Jizhou, united with the newly appointed Jingzhou Mu Liu Biao to block Yuan Shu, and also sent his subordinate Zhou Ang to attack Sun Jian's Yangcheng, the seat of the assassin of Yuzhou, so Yuan Shu, who felt that he had lost face, was angry and transferred Sun Jian from Hangu Pass to beat Liu Biao.

was evacuated a step away from Chang'an City, Sun Jian was naturally very dissatisfied with this, but there was no way, after all, his grain, grass and military supplies all depended on Yuan Shu's supply, and without grain and grass, would he have to have tens of thousands of troops to drink the northwest wind?

So Sun Jian had no choice but to retreat with hatred, leaving Cao Cao and his brothers to continue to fight to the death.

Sun Ce was very guilty and said to Shen Xian that he couldn't complete the agreement of "see you in Chang'an", and in order to apologize, he promised that when he had a force that really belonged to him in the future, if Shen Xian needed his help, he would die at the ends of the earth.

Holding Sun Ce's letter, Shen Xian was both moved and embarrassed. Touched by the fact that Sun Ce's brother is a real person, it is embarrassing that according to the time of the letter, Sun Ce and they should have withdrawn their troops from Hangu Pass on the day of Lu Bu's rebellion, and if they could stay for two more days, the situation might be different again.

"General Wentai withdrew his troops and left, what is the situation in Hangu Pass now?" Shen Xian asked Gan Ning while sending the carrier pigeon Shunmao who helped Sun Ce deliver the letter: "The eldest brother only mentioned their situation in the letter, and did not mention Cao Mengde's side. ”

"It's still a stalemate, but it doesn't take long." Gan Ning shrugged his shoulders: "If Lu Fengxian hadn't suddenly rebelled." ”

"Send a copy of the news of Lu Fengxian's attack on Chang'an City to Cao Mengde." Shen Xian thought about it, but decided to tell Cao Cao: "I hope he can hold out in Hangu Pass for two more days." ”

Gan Ning looked at Shen Xian suspiciously: "Your tone is a little gloating, son." ”

Shen Xian snorted coldly: "Who let him scare me." ”

That's how to hold grudges.

It didn't take long for Shen Xian to receive the news that Li Dao was rushing to Chang'an with 20,000 people, and she immediately gathered her men and horses to intercept Li Dao's marching route. Li Dao didn't expect Lu Bu to rebel, and actually withdrew the defenders of Xieyu Pass cleanly, allowing Shen Xian to enter the pass easily. So when Shen Xian's men and horses rushed down from the hillside and cut Li Dao's army into two sections, Li Dao's whole person was confused.

Shen Xian watched Li Dao's army being rushed into chaos on the hillside, and her men and horses scattered and fled, her mood had never been so happy as today. From the cloth pocket hanging under the saddle, he took out the upgraded version of the willow wood qin - the Tibetan sword version of the willow wood qin, and the system gave it as a friendly gift - Shen Xian pulled the reins of the Yan Wu Qi, and was eager to rush down the mountain.

Gan Ning grabbed Shen Xian's arm: "Why are you going?" ”

"Fighting." Shen Xian looked at Gan Ning strangely: "Why are you pulling me?" ”

After the baptism of the battlefield before, as long as it is not too bloody, Shen Xian can already face it calmly, although she has not killed anyone with her own hands.

"Lord, I beg you to remember your eldest brother's advice, you are not a general." Gan Ning said to Shen Xian sincerely: "Look at which soldier holds a piano when he goes to the battlefield!" Put it down! ”

When he attacked Dong Zhuo's troops outside Luoyang City, Gan Ning was fortunate to see the power of Shen Xian playing the piano, and at that time he felt that the title of "Qin Demon" was really not covered. Although Gan Ning wanted to see the scene of the enemy staggering and kneeling and begging for mercy under Shen Xian's piano sound, he didn't want to hear Shen Xian's piano again, so he tried to stop Shen Xian.

If you don't let you play the piano, you won't play it. Shen Xian pursed her lips and put the piano back, and then she took out a brush from her sleeve and waved it at Gan Ning, and suddenly hit the back of his hand with a faint finger, Gan Ning suddenly felt that half of his body was numb, and as soon as he let go of his hand, Shen Xian rushed down on his horse.

"Why are you still stunned to keep up!" Gan Ning rubbed his wrist and roared at the escort behind Shen Xian with anger on his face.

This battle ended quickly, the soldiers heard the news of Lu Bu's rebellion, and their morale was already low, and then they saw Shen Xian's army rushing down violently, many people didn't even resist and surrendered directly, but unfortunately Li Dao didn't catch it, and he fled with a small number of people. However, Shen Xian is not too worried about what waves Li Dao can make, Chang'an City must have been returned to Lu Bu, and the place where Li Dao can go is Wuguan except Hangu Pass, and there is Cao Cao's army blocking Hangu Pass, which is easy to be attacked by people inside and outside, so it is more likely that he will go to Wuguan to defect to Guo Bi. Anyway, sooner or later, it's going to be over, so let's let Li Dao stumble for a few more days.

Although Li Dao escaped, many of his men were arrested, and one of them made Shen Xian notice at a glance. Because that little brother is very handsome, tall, tough, handsome, and his painting style is completely different from other gray-faced people.

Shen Xian walked towards the place where the little brother was, where there were a bunch of prisoners detained by the soldiers, Gan Ning was persuading him to surrender, and the others all had an expression of "I surrender and I surrender and don't kill me", only the little brother held his neck and did not speak.

There was a silver shiny spear beside the little brother, which looked like a good weapon, and he was also well dressed, Shen Xian felt that this might be a petty official or a wealthy person in the family.

Shen Xian bent down and picked up the little brother's spear, a trace of anger flashed on the little brother's face, and he struggled to stand up, but was held down by the soldiers holding him behind him. Holding the gun in her hand, Shen Xian played a few tricks, and she looked quite presentable.

Gan Ning glanced at her: "What are you doing?" ”

Shen Xian ignored Gan Ning, she asked the little brother with interest, "What's your name?" ”

The little brother stared at Shen Xian expressionlessly: "Wuwei Zhang Xiu Zhang Weiyou." ”

Shen Xian: "......"

Zhang Xiu? Northland Gun King? Found a treasure!

Shen Xian held the gun and smiled at Zhang Xiu, and said with a bewitching voice: "Come down." ”

"No." Zhang Xiu ruthlessly rejected Shen Xian's invitation.

Shen Xian was not very satisfied, she frowned, and suddenly raised her hand and threw out a shot, the head of which was firmly against Zhang Xiu's neck: "Let's go down." ”

"Don't fall!" Zhang Xiu gritted his teeth and said, "You kill me!" ”

Shen Xian hooked her lips and smiled, she raised the gun up, and picked up Zhang Xiu's chin: "Really don't fall?" ”

"No, down!" Zhang Xiu said angrily: "Don't be wordy! ”

"Okay." Shen Xian sighed, threw the gun back to Zhang Xiu's side, and stretched out her hand to Gan Ning: "Don't surrender, right?" Go, get my violin. ”

As soon as the words came out, the soldiers around Shen Xian took a big step back, and everyone showed frightened expressions.

Run! The lord is going to play the piano! Is there anyone in charge?
