Chapter 155: Chang'an Rebellion
Zhao Yun was thinking about it here, and Zhang Yuan was also constantly thinking about how to find the Son of Heaven.
Dian Wei suddenly said next to him: "Thinking about such a tedious matter, we will find out when we sneak into the palace." ”
"Infiltrating the palace?" Zhao Yun's eyes lit up.
Although the method that Dian Wei said was reckless, it was the only way at this time, and it was better than them sitting here at this time, even if they went out to look for it, they didn't know where to start.
Zhao Yun looked at Dian Wei and said with a smile: "Brother Dian really woke up the person in the dream with one word, and immediately made the two of us wake up like a dream." ”
Dian Wei smiled, rubbing his shiny head with his big hands.
That night, Zhao Yun took Zhang Yuan and the others to put on night clothes and sneaked into the palace, while Dian Wei was left in the restaurant because his figure was too obvious.
In the training of the dark group, hidden spy is one of the main projects, so it is not difficult for Zhang Yuan.
However, to Zhang Yuan's surprise, Zhao Yun was not much worse than him.
It turned out that Zhao Yun's master Tong Yuan was also a ranger when he was young, and it seems that this kind of kung fu is naturally not a problem, Zhao Yun, as Tong Yuan's most proud disciple, not only learned his master's martial arts, but also learned all kinds of skills for walking the rivers and lakes.
However, the palace guards at this moment are very strict, and Rao is two masters are bold, but it took a lot of effort to sneak into the inner city.
After entering the inner city, although the defense is not as tight as the outer city, it is also three steps, one post, five steps and one sentry.
By this time, the night was already dark, and everything in the palace was silent except for the footsteps of the patrolling soldiers.
Even the noisy croaking of frogs and insects in the summer has disappeared at this time.
Zhao Yun and Zhang Yuan met behind a side hall, and the two glanced at each other, then both shook their heads, indicating that they had not found anything.
Zhao Yun was a little anxious at this time, they all came in for almost half an hour, but they found nothing, sneaked into several palaces, but did not find anything.
At this moment, a violent cough suddenly came from the side hall behind him.
The sound was not very loud, but it was a little abrupt in the silence of the night.
It can be heard that the person coughing is in great pain.
After a while, another voice sounded: "Grandpa Tu, are you better?" ”
As the words fell, there was a sound of thin ropes, apparently people in the house walking.
After a while, a faint yellow light lit up, and two thin figures were reflected on the window paper.
The coughing voice finally calmed down, wheezed twice, and a slightly old voice sounded: "Lu An, I'm much better, hey, this old problem is really sinful." ”
The man known as Lu An opened his mouth and said: "Father-in-law Tu, you have served the three sons of heaven successively, and you have worked hard, and God refuses to let you rest so early." ”
"You guy was born with a clever mouth, no wonder Emperor Xian loves you."
After a long rest, Father-in-law Tu spoke again: "Go and put out the candle, the group of bandits in the province will see that you and I have to suffer again." ”
The words fell, and the dim candlelight went out again.
Father-in-law Tu then spoke: "Lu An, I can't sleep well left and right, you can talk to me." ”
"Yes, Grandpa Tu."
The two began to chat, and through the conversation between the two, Zhao Yun learned that these two people were actually two eunuchs who served the emperor, and after the emperor, these two people were imprisoned here.
The two eunuchs chattered for a long time was nothing more than some trivial things in the harem.
When Zhao Yunzheng was a little impatient, he heard the person named Lu An, and suddenly asked a sentence.
"Grandpa Tu, where did you say that Emperor Xian and them were at this time?"
"Slap", there was a crisp sound in the side hall, followed by Lu An's suppressed cry of pain.
Father-in-law Tu lowered his voice and rebuked sharply: "You dog slave, how can you say anything at this time, if it is known, the lives of you and me are small, but the deeds of the saint are revealed, but you and I will die and die." ”
The two of them outside the house immediately cheered up, carefully pricked up their ears, and listened to the movement in the house.
At this time, Lu An's angry voice suddenly sounded in the room: "You old immortal, the miscellaneous family has endured you for a long time." ”
Immediately afterwards, there was a violent sound of fighting, and the sound of breaking the sky was endless, and the two people inside turned out to be masters.
After a while, the coughing voice of Father-in-law Tu remembered again: "Little guy, I have long seen that you have bad intentions, playing tricks in front of the miscellaneous family, you are too young after all." ”
Lu An's voice sounded again, but at this time his voice sounded particularly weak, obviously suffering from a minor injury.
"Old thing, don't be complacent, if you get punched by me three times, you won't be far from death."
Father-in-law Tu laughed loudly when he heard this: "Hahaha, Emperor Xian has now gone to Lord Cao, and he is safe, even if I die Tu, I have no regrets, not to mention that I have pulled you into this little scrap." ”
Coughing a few times again, Tu Gonggong's voice remembered again: "Before you die, the miscellaneous family asked you to be a ghost, Lord Sima Fang's son has already served Lord Cao, Lord Sima Fang killed Dong Zhuo, and the emperor was all planned in advance." It's ridiculous that your two masters are dazed and ignorant and still dreaming of the Spring and Autumn Festival, hahahaha! ”
"Old horseman, you ......!" Lu An's voice stopped abruptly, and then Tu Gonggong's violent coughing sound came out again.
Not long after, when Zhao Yun was about to get up and enter the side hall to check the situation, suddenly a fire lit up in the house, and it spread rapidly, and it turned out to be that Tu Gonggong set the entire side hall on fire.
Zhao Yun and the others glanced at each other, and hurriedly left the side hall while the patrolling soldiers were not alarmed.
Back in the restaurant, Zhao Yun hurriedly ordered Zhang Yuan to send a letter back to Bingzhou, and he immediately set off and went with Dian Wei to find Zhou Cang and others, and tracked them in the direction of Yanzhou.
At this time, Emperor Han Xian and his party had been away for nearly half a month, and if they had been traveling at a normal pace, they would have already entered the territory of Sizhou.
It's just that at this time, Chang'an is in chaos, there are Dong Zhuojun on both roads of Tongguan and Wuguan, and Emperor Han Xian and his party will definitely not be able to pass smoothly, plus Hongnong, Hanoi, Hedong, and Henan are all Lu Bu's sphere of influence, so if Zhao Yun and others are lucky, they should be able to catch up.
Hurrying all the way, Zhao Yun thought all the way about the route that Emperor Han Xian and his party could take.
Tongguan was previously guarded by Xu Rong, the general of Dong Zhuo's army, Xu Rong was a faction loyal to Dong Zhuo, and the road to Tongguan was smooth, although it was easy to walk along the way, it was also the easiest to be discovered.
The other road is the direction of Wuguan, after Li Dao and Guo Yan left, Wuguan was guarded by Li Ji, Li Ji's nephew, and at this time he had also arrived in Chang'an, now Wuguan is an empty city, and Wuguan is far away and rugged, if a small team of men and horses is evading pursuit, it is undoubtedly safer to choose such a route.
In an instant, Zhao Yun had a plan in his heart, and immediately led the men and horses to the direction of Wuguan.
On the second day after Zhao Yun led people to pursue, a team of people with a strange lineup entered the ruins of the old city of Luoyang.
At this time, Luoyang was still a dilapidated scene, and the Kwantung Coalition army had left the area after recovering it, and only a few civilians who had lived here for generations returned to the area, often searching for objects to use between the ruins and broken walls while maintaining their livelihoods.
The once prosperous and brilliant eastern capital of Luoyang has become a thing of the past and has been annihilated in the long river of history.
This group of people was old and young, numbering as many as dozens, the oldest of whom had white hair, and the youngest of whom was only about ten years old, and this group of people was obviously led by this ten-year-old boy.
A literati man in his forties arched his hand and said to the young man: "Your Majesty, this is Luoyang. ”
The young man looked at the desolate scene in front of him, and said in disbelief: "This, this, is this actually Luoyang, the eastern capital of my Han Dynasty?" Thieves mislead the country, thieves mislead the country! Two lines of tears welled up on his immature face.
This young man is the current Son of Heaven - Emperor Liu Xie of the Han Dynasty.
Liu Xie opened his mouth and asked the literati in Fang Cai: "Dong Qing, you have made a meritorious contribution to escorting me to escape from the clutches of the devil, and I will give you the title of General Wei today." ”
"Dong Cheng thank Lord Longen!" Dong Cheng hurriedly bowed, but he didn't care that the ground was full of dust at the moment.
In order to escape from Chang'an, they stumbled all the way day and night, and finally came to Luoyang after more than ten days, in which the suffering was not for outsiders.
Liu Xie looked at the dilapidated Luoyang again, and his eyes were full of sadness.
He slowly spoke: "Dong Qing, where is Jing Zhaoyin at this time?" Didn't you say he would wait for us in Luoyang? ”
"Back to Your Majesty, after Lord Sima rescued me and waited, I reflexively went back to deal with the follow-up matters, and then came to chase after Your Majesty. I think it should be a few days to come. ”
Liu Xie nodded, didn't speak, looked at Luoyang silently.
Everyone watched for half an hour, and a group of men and horses came from the east, all of them cavalry, as many as hundreds, and rushed towards Liu Xie and his party.
Liu Xie turned his head to look, although he was panicked in his heart, but his face was silent, standing in place with his head held high, and his own momentum rose spontaneously.
The emperor's house, which has been precipitated for four hundred years, has been greatly affected, but its temperament has never fallen in the slightest.
Several generals stepped forward to protect everyone behind them, as if facing a great enemy, they were all on foot, and there was no hope of survival in the face of the cavalry.
However, the emperor is behind him, and these people are all loyal people, and they would rather die to protect the emperor.
The distance between the two sides was not far, and the cavalry was fast, and there were still a hundred steps away from Liu Xie and the others, this group of cavalry slowed down and dismounted and came on foot.
When everyone saw this, they were relieved.
Dong Cheng had been carefully observing the person opposite, and from a distance, he saw the other party's face clearly, and whispered to Liu Xie beside him.
"Your Majesty, don't worry, the person at the front is Lord Jingzhao Yin Sima Fang. It was Lord Sima who came to receive His Majesty. ”
Liu Xie nodded and did not speak.
After a while, the person who came knelt on the ground when he was still dozens of steps away from Liu Xie and the others, and said loudly: "Jingzhao Yin Sima is late for rescue, and I hope Your Majesty will forgive you!" ”
