Of course, Cao Cao really went back to guard.

He also called some soldiers to come back from outside the palace and wait for the Empress Dowager He together.

Empress Dowager He glanced at Cao Cao's back with some resentment.

Cao Cao personally stood outside the palace gate and waited, which really fulfilled his duty as a guard.

Empress Dowager He sighed.

Is she really that impulsive? Do you really think like that?

I have to say.

Yes, definitely, yes.

But as a woman who has used so many means in the palace, no one knows whether her feeling is mixed with impurities.

Actually, she also understood.

In this Luoyang city.

No matter how high the position is, it is useless.

If you don't have enough strength in your hands, that is, troops, then as long as you can't beat others, you will be done.

He Jin's death was actually unacceptable when Empress Dowager He just found out.

It's not just because He Jin is her brother.

is also because He Jin is the backer of the military force she has established.

And He Jin's death means that the strength she has accumulated before has come to naught.

Neither the young emperor nor she had enough strength to rely on.

And the choice of a new spokesperson is imminent.

Cao Cao is the new spokesperson she fancies.

So as a woman, now she has nothing but the position of the queen mother, so how many things can she promise to Cao Cao can be realized.

Then you want to make this relationship closer and harder to break.

That......

Anyway, Empress Dowager He did feel that Cao Cao single-handedly saved herself in a time of crisis.

But to say that her purpose is not to use Cao Cao is too naïve.

Boss Cao is not a stupid person.

He knew that he was a few pounds and a few taels, and it was not a wise move to have too deep a relationship with the current situation of the Queen Mother and the Young Emperor.

Until the situation stabilizes, no one can say that they are the final winners.

What's more, he also knew that not far outside Luoyang City, Dong Zhuo's hundreds of thousands of troops were waiting to enter Luoyang City.

If he had anything to do with it at this time, he would lose a lot of initiative when facing Dong Zhuo.

And so it is.

Han Chamber.

Cao Cao still has feelings now.

And Empress Dowager He is the orthodox emperor of the Han Dynasty, and the strong sense of betrayal in his heart makes him unable to do something out of the ordinary.

Become the military spokesperson of the Queen Mother.

In Cao Cao and Xi Zhicai's plan, there was no such plan.

There was a long silence in the Changning Palace, and only the sound of breathing could be heard.

And in the suburbs outside Luoyang City, it is panicked and noisy, thrilling and chaotic.

Empress Dowager He was robbed by Cao Cao, but the Young Emperor and King Chen Liuwang were still in their hands.

As for whether the person behind him wanted to kill the Ten Standing Servants or the emperor, it was not clear to explain.

Zhang Rang and Duan Gui left Luoyang City with the young emperor and Chen Liuwang and fled towards Beibi Mountain.

Their speed was not slow, hoping to avoid the pursuit of the elite soldiers led by the Yuan Shao brothers behind them.

"Can I leave Luoyang?"

Liu Xie poked his head out of the carriage and asked Zhang Rang anxiously.

Although he is younger than Liu Bian, he can see many more problems clearly than Liu Bian.

Maybe it's also because he lost his mother at a young age, and his thoughts are deeper.

But that's what he did.

Zhang Rang saw Liu Xie's thoughts.

Now in the palace, the Empress Dowager Dong is dead, and Liu Xie has nothing to rely on.

Even if this chaos is over, he will only be a sheep in captivity when he returns to the palace, that is, the name of this sheep has a prince.

He wanted to take advantage of this escape, run to Chen Liu, and really try to develop his own power, right?

Zhang Rang sighed.

He shook his head.

"Forgive the old minister for his incompetence."

Liu Wei in the carriage also came over, he actually didn't react a little, why did he suddenly come out of the palace, and there were chasing soldiers chasing them.

He is a little timid by nature and very honest.

His expression was tense and flustered.

"Are they here to kill us?"

Zhang Rang glanced at Duan Gui, who was galloping in front of him on a horse, and shook his head.

"They're here to kill ministers and so on."

Zhang Rang sighed.

In fact, he did not support the abduction of the young emperor and Chen Liuwang from the palace.

But Duan Gui was forced to do it with his sword, and he felt that if he didn't do this, they might be killed directly by the random arrows.

Duan Gui is a person, Zhang Rang is clear.

He is usually low-key and uncontroversial.

But he is also a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death to the extreme.

It was also because he was greedy for life and afraid of death, so he treated everyone carefully in the palace, and he stepped into the position of the ten permanent servants step by step.

What can a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death do at such a moment when he has to face death head-on?

Zhang Rang felt that the situation was not optimistic.

He looked back at Luoyang.

This is the ancient capital where he has been for decades.

Drifting away from yourself.

He also seemed to see his heart and conscience, and he was getting farther and farther away.

A turnaround.

He watched his whole life.

His life.

Emotions.

Downs.

It all happened in this city, and most of it happened in that palace.

It turns out that time flies so fast.

His Majesty, who has been growing up with him, has now gone west.

In fact, he is also a waste left over from the last era, right?

He remembered the evil he had done in his life.

I also remembered the kindness I did by chance.

Everyone in this world has done so many things, so what can they remember?

Zhang Rang thought about it, maybe it was his own evil, right?

"Your Highnesses."

Zhang Rang suddenly turned around and said to the two young heirs of the Liu family.

"In this life, Lao Chen has done a lot of evil things, and he has done a lot of wrong things."

"The same is true of the first emperor."

"But the old minister hopes that in the future, if the two highnesses can ascend to the great treasure and take charge of the world."

"Don't be like the first emperor, and don't use people like Lao Chen."

Zhang Rang seemed to have a hunch that perhaps the young emperor would not necessarily be the one who finally controlled the world.

But he wasn't sure of his hunch.

He could only continue to speak.

"Sometimes, people always have to compromise."

"Either you compromise with fate or you compromise with someone else."

"Today, the two highnesses have fallen into such a situation, and the old minister is guilty."

"The old minister's sins, only by repaying him with death and exchanging His Royal Highness's safety, can he go to see the first emperor."

Zhang Rang slowly drew out the sword he was carrying.

glanced at Liu Wei and Liu Xie kindly, and said softly.

"The criminal minister Zhang Rang, apologize for his sin with death."

Anyway.

Without any superfluous explanation, Zhang Rang waved the sword in his hand and sneaked towards Duan Gui from behind.

I haven't picked up a longsword again in so many years.

It's hard to wield this old bone.

Zhang Rang's sword failed to cut Duan Gui off his horse in the first place.

Because this old guy's strength is no longer enough.

Duan Gui turned his head in horror and grabbed Zhang Rang's shoulder, he was seen by Zhang Rang's shoulder, and only one hand could move.

"Zhang Rang, what are you doing?"

Duan Gui roared angrily, and he also drew his sword to kill Zhang Rang.

"I'm atoning for my sins!"

Zhang let out a deafening roar from his dry throat.

His voice was hoarse, resentful, regretful, powerless, and mixed with too many emotions.

Duan Gui's sword light was dazzling.

If he is hit by this sword, he will definitely die, and Duan Gui has no one to restrict, I wonder if he will take the two Highnesses as a shield, and even put His Highness's life in danger?

Zhang Rang is actually afraid of death.

When he saw Duan Gui swinging his sword, his first reaction was to dodge.

That's instinct.

But in the trance of light and shadow.

Zhang Rang saw a familiar face, saw a familiar mouth shape, and heard a familiar voice in his ears.

"Father."

Perhaps death is not enough to atone for the sins of this life.

But.

I'm at least going to be worthy of him all the time, right?

Zhang Rang closed his eyes, and the whole person broke away from the horse and pounced towards Duan Gui.

When the sword entered his body, he didn't feel anything.

He only remembered that in the direction he was heading towards Duan Guipu, there was a river.

"Bang!"

hugged Duan Gui tightly, and Zhang Rang was no longer conscious.

"Poof!"

The two men fell into the river together, and did not enter the rushing river.

Zhang Rang, he is sorry for the world, but he is worthy of Liu Hong.

He is a lifelong veteran.

is also a lifelong father.

There is so much that a eunuch can do.

The two fleeing leaders quarreled for some reason and fell into the river together.

The fleeing team didn't know what to do for a while, so they could only continue to move forward.

However, Liu Xie was smart, and he quickly broke away from the shock and quickly became the leader of this team, although he always used the name of the imperial brother to give orders.

And Liu Wei didn't react for a long time.
