Jin Douguan, Xuanwu North Palace.

A ray of sunlight shines through the gaps in the leaves and into the house.

Chun'er stood in the patio outside the door, looked at the white-clothed and white-haired Baidao man in the room, and bowed respectfully: "Master, Dong Zhuo sent a secret letter to Zhang Rang last night, about his internal response." Zhang Rang and the others had reached an agreement with Dong Zhuo because of He Jin's persecution too much, and they were ready to conspire with the palace against He Jin! ”

Shizun nodded, stood up with his hands behind his back, glanced at Chun'er and said, "Dig out the deep pit and wait for the tiger and leopard, and sprinkle incense bait to catch the golden turtle." Now that the big fish has been hooked, Chun'er, you will go down the mountain today, it is rumored that Wang Zhu must take He Jin's life! ”

"No!"

When Chun'er gradually disappeared outside the door, Shizun slowly turned his head, facing the portrait on the wall, his eyes seemed to be a little blurry, as if he wanted to reflect the head of Emperor Han Ming deeply into his mind, but the head that has been seen for decades, his hair, forehead, and eyes have long been vivid, so why look at it again.

After a long time, Shizun sighed, and a wisp of sneering laughter came from the thick incense mist: "Buddhism talks about cause and effect, and Taoism emphasizes cause and effect." If you cut off my Taoist inheritance, the poor Taoist will cut off the bloodline of your family and country. My Taoist master Zhuangzi once said: Ze pheasant ten steps one peck, one hundred steps one drink, not Qi (qi) animal fanzhong. Think about it, drink and peck like this! ”

……

Yongning Palace, located on the right side of the North Palace.

Outside the hall, the white grass is desolate, the flowers are withering, and the golden fallen leaves fall at will, covering the green moss.

This was originally the palace of Emperor Hui of the Han Dynasty, and since the death of the beauty Wang Rong, it has become a famous cold palace in the palace. In a few years, Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty passed away and a new monarch succeeded to the throne, and the Yongning Hall became a forbidden place for everyone.

However, on this day, there were bursts of poignant laughter in the hall from time to time, and if the palace maid or the little eunuch outside the hall was still there, they would definitely be able to hear that this was the voice of the master of the room, Concubine Hui.

But at this time, the palace maid and the little eunuch were hiding far away, and twenty meters away from the hall stood with their backs to the Yongning Hall with a row of Yulin Jun and Xiao Huangmen, all of them standing upright with solemn expressions, separating everyone from a distance, lest they alarm the people in the palace.

Of course, the people in the palace are not only Concubine Hui, who has long been relegated to the cold palace, but also several ancestors in the palace today, the famous ten permanent attendants, Zhang Rang, Zhao Zhong, Duan, Song Dian and others.

At this moment, several old ancestors were sitting around a woman in white. Suddenly, Zhang Rang raised his head to look at the woman in white, and his voice sounded like a male duck: "Concubine Hui, have you thought clearly, are you willing to help me wait?" ”

Concubine Hui swept Zhang Rang with cold eyes, and gently brushed away the gray sideburns on her forehead, revealing a miserable white face: "This palace has fallen to such a point, although it has nothing to do with the He family, and there is no trick behind you and a few other talents."

Why, where can't you please your new master today, and come to hug this pair of stinky feet in the palace? It's a pity, although you have a good calculation, your eyes are not very good, can't you see that this palace has long been degraded to the cold palace, and this world is already the world of the He family? ”

"Concubine Hui, you're joking. I wait to know that you were born in the family of the army, and there are still your subordinates in the Yulin Army, and you have been with the lonely lamp in the Yongning Hall for several years, don't you want to go out for a walk and see the outside world? ”

"Hehe, what if there is a ministry, what if there is no ministry? Snow on both sides of the reed flowers, and autumn in the river. The world is there, what does it matter if the palace sees it or not? ”

"Niangniang, even if we don't live with you, are you really as calm as water and don't want to help us old fellows in the palace anymore?"

"Feng Shui takes turns, and this year comes to my house. Several ancestors in the palace in the past

actually bowed down to a waste person in the palace, haha, it's really a mockery to think about it! A sad roar knocked on everyone's hearts like a night owl in the forest, and a thick mockery hung on the corner of her eyes, Concubine Hui looked at everyone fiercely, "This palace tells you that I want this palace to help you, no way!" ”

"Niangniang, as the saying goes: leave a line in everything, and see each other in the future, your words can't be too full!"

"It's good to see you in the future, Zhang Changshi, do you think Beigong still wants to see your face in the future?"

Everyone thought that Zhang Rang would be like thunder, but Zhang Rang seemed to be as comfortable as a bamboo in his chest, smiled sadly, and looked at Concubine Hui like a poisonous snake: "Niangniang, it doesn't matter if you want to see the old slave in the future." However, has Niangniang forgotten that there is another person in the palace that you are concerned about? Don't you want to see him again? ”

"Who?"

"King Chen Liujun!"

The four words of King Chen Liujun hit Concubine Hui's heart like a sharp arrow, and Concubine Hui's face that was fighting all the time suddenly calmed down, and her eyes seemed to carry a little family affection, longing and remembrance, as well as a trace of resentment.

Fortunately, Concubine Hui is still the same Concubine Hui at the beginning, this one is the right bet!

Zhang Rang patted his chest and secretly breathed a sigh of relief, took out a secret letter from his arms and handed it to Concubine Hui, and then said: "Niangniang, the old slave knows that you have suffered a lot of humiliation over the years, and there are even old slaves and the brothers here who are secretly pushing the hand.

However, now we are only in the same boat, and if I sink, I will not be able to float up King Chenliujun. Niangniang, think about it, if I wait for the fall, this secret letter falls into the hands of the He family, what will be waiting for the king of Chen Liujun? With He's ruthlessness, I'm afraid the fate of the county king doesn't have to be the seven kings of the previous dynasty! ”

Emperor Xiaoling abandoned his subjects early, and the emperor inherited the sea and looked inside. And the new emperor is weak, and his talent is frivolous and prestigious. Chen Liuwang Xie, Shengde Wei Maoyi Chenghong Industry. Zhuo Jin, the former general and deputy marshal of the Liangzhou Army, swore that he was willing to work with the public conspirators He to serve Chen Liuwang as the Son of Heaven and patrol the sky on behalf of the Lord. The Emperor and Queen of Heaven learned from this heart, betrayed righteousness and unthankfulness, and killed heaven and man!

"You're threatening Hongu?" Concubine Hui looked at the words on the secret letter as red as blood, her eyes were as cold as a sword, and she glanced at Zhang Rang.

Zhang Rang couldn't help but shudder, stabilized his mind and continued: "The old slave doesn't dare, the old slave is just stating a fact!" ”

Concubine Hui retracted her gaze, and her face gradually turned hideous, like a ghost wandering in the world: "Hmph! Forgive me for not daring! Since childhood, the palace has known Wang Meiren and is like a sister, and the He family is poisonous, and has poisoned the good sisters of the palace and the empress dowager, and has been involved in the imperial power of my Han Dynasty.

Poor Xie'er is lonely and helpless, and the palace can't wait to eat his flesh and sleep on his skin. Now that you have made plans to support Xie'er to ascend the throne, you can rest assured that even if this palace dies, it will drag the He family to hell together. ”

Zhang Rang, Zhao Zhong and the others exchanged glances and bowed to the ground: "Thank you Niangniang for your help, after the matter is completed, the ministers will definitely support my lord to ascend to the great treasure!" ”

Concubine Hui clapped her hands, pointed to the two black-clothed people who came out of the back of the palace and said: "This person is a member of the palace clan, the current Yulin Army Hou Zhao Yuan, ordinary ** individuals can't get close, and the forty or fifty heroes of the rivers and lakes under his command also don't avoid swords.

In addition, that person's name is Wang Duan, and he is Zhao Yuan's best friend of life and death, and his one-handed sword skills are unmatched in the rivers and lakes. Now that you have decided to get rid of the He Butcher, then the palace will hand them all over to you, and you must wipe out the He clan! ”

Looking at the two people who Huo Ran appeared in the hall, Zhang Rang and the others were secretly awe-inspiring and bowed to the ground: "Niangniang, don't worry, the ministers will let the butcher die without a place to be buried!" ”

……

Zishi, Yanshi, Qing

The commander of the army of the river country is in the camp.

The dark night is like a curtain, and the lonely lamp is like a bean. Wang Li, Zhao Yun, Tian Chi and Xu Shi (Xu Ergou) sat around the big tent, and a secret document was placed on the desk in the middle. This secret letter was sent by Di Ting Jingshi Tang overnight, and at this moment it was lying quietly on the desk like a girl who had been stripped naked.

There were more than 20 big characters written on the note: Zhuo envoy spread it in Beijing, saying: The emperor is not the emperor and the king, and he rides away from the north by thousands of people.

I just say, how can there be so many coincidences and proverbs in this world? It's not all artificial!

Thinking of the allusion of the young emperor and Chen Liuwang running to the mountain at night to save Dong Zhuo in the romance, a trace of ridicule flashed at the corner of Wang Li's mouth, picked up the note on the table and brushed it on the oil lamp, and watched the note turn from a wisp of green smoke into a pinch of dust scattered on the table in front of his eyes, before he clapped his hands and sneered.

"The emperor is not the emperor and the king, and he rides away from the north. This Dong Zhuo is really ambitious, and he has begun to fall into King Chen Liujun so early, I am afraid that he has already made up his ambition to abolish the young emperor and support King Chen Liujun, and he is not afraid of choking himself to death!

It's a pity, Dong Zhuo, do you really think that I am the same as you? Just relying on the flies and dogs in the field, you want to treat the world like fools? As the saying goes: as big as the guts, the stomach is as big. Today, I want to see how bold you are, and whether your stomach can hold a fist as big as a sand bowl! ”

"Brother, what are your plans?"

"Plans? Naturally, the foolish brother is going to meet this bold former general for a while! ”

Zhao Yun Huoran got up, stood beside Wang Li and said: "Brother, grandson said that he knows himself and knows that he will not be defeated in a hundred battles, and now Dong Thief is stationed in Xin'an, and there are thousands of tigers and wolves under his command, and there are even more powerful generals in the army, Xu Rong, Hua Xiong, Li, Guo Yan, Fan Chou and others all have the courage of ten thousand people.

Brother, although our army is equal to Dong Thief's strength, the military power is also very brave. However, half of the soldiers under our command are recruits who have never seen blood, and if we use troops against Dong Thief at this time, I am afraid that our strength and combat effectiveness will be a little stretched! ”

"Who said I was going to use troops against Dong Thief now?"

"Huh? What does that brother mean..."Zhao Yun touched his forehead and smiled at a loss.

Wang Li patted Zhao Yun's hand, pulled Zhao Yun to sit down, and said with a smile: "Zilong, what you said is right, although the soldiers under our command have been practicing for two or three years, they really can't compare with the Xiliang Hundred Battles elite who are used to killing the battlefield.

Xiliang Malaysia, rampant in the world. Zilong, that's not an empty word, it's all from the fire of war and the pile of dead people! However, don't you forget, the battlefield of our duel with Dong Thief is not only Xin'an, but also Luoyang, Kyoto! ”

"Luoyang?"

"Exactly!" Wang Li nodded, and then said, "Since Dong Thief has already spread rumors in Luoyang, then Luoyang must be hiding an army or eyeliner from Dong Zhuo. Since we can't fight hard with Dong Thief, why don't we choose their weaknesses to attack first? As long as we eradicate Dong Thief's eyeliner and block his footsteps into Beijing, we can also make his plan go to waste! ”

"Brother, are you planning to cultivate the plank road in the dark?"

"That's right, Ming Xiu plank road dark Chen Cang! You and Xu Shi Ming's soldiers will go straight to Xin'an in two ways, and maintain the pressure on Dong Thief's Xiliang Army, as for me and Tian Chi, then let's go and meet Dong Thief's inner line and helpers hidden in Kyoto for a while! ”

After a while, the oil lamp went out, and the field fell into silence and darkness again. The sound of horses' hooves hitting the ground came from the field, and the two knights disappeared into the night.
