In front of the palace, the lights were bright, and the square was full of military generals, and everyone was looking forward to it, waiting for the arrival of the main lord. There were still courtiers from near and far, with endless carriages and horses, crowds of people, and some people were directing a large number of servants to unload the magnificent wooden boxes from the carriages and horses, apparently for the purpose of congratulatory gifts, a noisy and busy scene.

Dense hooves sounded, a large number of Xiliang cavalry poured into the square, and Dong Zhuo finally arrived.

He slowly got out of the car, lightly brushed his fine clothes, and walked towards the palace gate, all the way to the courtiers who saluted and congratulated him, and his face full of flesh showed a rare and approachable and friendly color.

"Li Su! Li Ru! You're early! Dong Zhuo raised his eyes and saw the two people bowing deeply in front of him, and said casually: "Among the hundred officials, who has not yet arrived?" ”

"Go back to the Taishi!" Li Su smiled and said, "At present, only Situ Wang Yun, General Lu Bu and Shangshu Yang Zan have not arrived!" ”

"Oh? Wang Situ didn't set off until after Gu came to greet his relatives, of course it was impossible to arrive early, and Feng Xian was still injured, and it was understandable to be late......" Dong Zhuo's face flashed with anger: "That little Yang Zan is duplicitous to Gu on weekdays, how can he dare to be disrespectful to Gu today?" ”

As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere in the square plummeted, and the ministers were silent together, and no one dared to answer.

"Ahh Ha ha! Yang Shangshu is old, so it's okay to be a moment late! Li Ru opened his mouth, and only he dared to pick up Dong Zhuo's words in the audience: "On the day of the great joy of the Taishi, don't be angry!" ”

"Exactly!" A minister immediately chimed in: "I guess it must be a mistake to prepare a congratulatory gift, the Taishi is broad-minded, please forgive you!" ”

"Congratulatory gifts?" Dong Zhuo was stunned, and then he found all kinds of boxes and cages piled up on the square, and finally his face thawed, but he pretended not to like it: "What are you doing?" Don't you know the ancient admonition of bowing and not congratulating! What a presumptuous! ”

Everyone slandered together, but the voice of singing praises and virtues came like a tide, praising Dong Zhuo's words of etiquette.

Another important minister smiled and said, "Although there are ancient precepts. But it should be suitable for each person. The Taishi's contribution to protecting the country is unparalleled in the world, how can it be restrained by etiquette? Even the Son of Heaven has sent an edict to congratulate you, and we are just icing on the cake....... it is a little bit of the heart of my colleagues, how can the Taishi refuse people thousands of miles away? ”

Dong Zhuo was overjoyed when he heard this, but he hesitated: "Then let's not take it as an example!" Thank you very much! ”

"Taishi!" Someone saw that Dong Zhuo didn't mention Yang Zan again, and immediately lost no time in saying: "The hour is not early, the Son of Heaven is still waiting in the palace, is it appropriate to enter the palace first?" ”

A Dong general stepped forward and whispered: "Miss Diao Chan's car has been driven three streets away, and it will be there in a blink of an eye!" ”

"That's true!" Dong Zhuo nodded when he heard this: "I am a courtier. How can the Son of Heaven wait for a long time? Ladies and gentlemen, please enter the palace with Lone! ”

"No! Master please! The ministers respectfully responded together.

"Haha! Please! Dong Zhuo straightened his clothes, waved his big sleeves, and walked towards the palace gate first.

With the sound of "squeak", the palace door slowly opened.

"Dong Zhuo, you usurper thief of wolf ambition!" Suddenly, a roar shook everyone at the same time.

The sound of "brush, brush, brush" was endless, and the soldiers of Dong Jun drew their swords out of their sheaths together and looked towards the place where the roar sounded.

In the darkness beyond the square. Suddenly, there were a large number of foot sounds, and a group of strong men in light armor appeared, led by people in white clothes and standing with swords. His face was full of fierce anger, and it was Yang Zhan, who had never arrived.

He pointed his sword at Dong Zhuo and shouted, "Today, so-and-so will be in front of the feet of the Son of Heaven." Kill you ****! ”

The ministers lost color together, is Yang Zan crazy? At this time, on the square, there were not only five hundred guards accompanying Dong Zhuo. There are also 200 brave and skilled Xiliang cavalry...... With the more than 100 generals he led, it was simply sent to death!

"Humph! Sure enough, there was a plan for a long time! Dong Zhuo smiled dumbly, he waved his hand indifferently and said: "Kill ....... is using the blood of this old horseman's heart to make a drink for Lonely!" ”

"Ahh Kill! The guards guarding Dong Zhuo's side were already impatient, and when they heard this, they immediately divided half of their men to kill them like wolves, and the two hundred Dong cavalry on both sides of the square also rode their horses and rushed straight over.

Yang Zan was not afraid, and he also led the generals to kill him head-on, but it was clear which was stronger and which was weaker.

Many ministers hid their faces sideways, and they couldn't bear to see the bleak scene of Yang Zan and others being slaughtered. There are also a few people who know Yang Zan who are at a loss in their hearts, this Yang Zan is also resourceful on weekdays, how can he be so impulsive and reckless today?

Just as the two sides were about to collide fiercely, a change protruded.

"Whoa!" A tall wooden box was torn apart, and two men in black jumped out of the box, their hands flashing with cold light.

Several Dong Jun soldiers who were stunned by the sudden change were caught off guard, and immediately fell to the ground with blood splashing.

The sound of shattering on the square continued, and one by one the wooden boxes exploded from the inside, and countless black-clothed people appeared from them, waving the sharp blades in their hands to kill Dong Jun beside him, not only that, but a large number of servants who were originally busy carrying them also opened the lid of the box, pulled out a sword, and slashed at Dong Jun viciously.

These killers were numerous, all of them were extraordinary, and they suddenly attacked, and in the blink of an eye, hundreds of Dong soldiers were killed to the point of blood, and for a while, the square was full of blood, and there were dying screams.

"Not good! We've been tricked! A general of the Dong Army stepped forward to protect Dong Zhuo behind him and shouted wildly: "Quick, escort the Taishi into the palace!" ”

"Squeak!" The palace gate, which was slowly opening, suddenly stopped, and instead began to close again. Above the palace gate, a black shadow appeared, and an archer with a bow bent appeared.

"What's going on? Where is the holding of Jinwu? A Dong general's face couldn't help but change miserably.

"The official is here!" Among the ministers, a mighty voice shouted: "Dong thief commits against the sky, and the crime deserves death!" We are ordered to punish the thief! ”

At the corner of the crowd, a minister walked out with a sword with angry eyebrows, and at least 20 ministers behind him were also accompanied by swords.

"What! Shisun Rui, you ......." At this time, even Dong Zhuo's face changed. Zhi Jingo is responsible for the defense of the capital and the guard of the palace gate, although he does not have many troops, but he is a pivotal figure, why is he even opposed?

"Dong thief, your time of death has arrived!" Nashi Sun Rui slowly raised his hand, following his gestures. There was a "rattle" sound of twisted strings above Miyagi: "Kneel down and be bound!" lest there be more death or wounding! ”

Everyone knew that as soon as the palm of his hand fell, the rain of death arrows would immediately pour down.

For a while, in addition to the fierce fighting between the two parties above the square, there was silence under the palace gate.

"Hey...... Hehe...... Ha ha! A chuckle rang out suddenly, and the laughter grew louder and louder, and finally turned into a loud laugh.

Everyone looked at it in amazement, but saw that behind Dong Zhuo, Li Ru was smiling as if no one was around.

"Li Ru, dare to laugh when he is dying. Are you scared crazy? A minister stepped forward and pointed his sword at Li Ru and shouted: "You loyal lackey of Dong thief, you can't escape death if you pretend to be crazy and stupid!" ”

"You clowns!" Li Ru stopped laughing and said lightly: "I still have a big battle tonight, how do you know that it's just a few small fish and shrimp making waves here...... Can you really turn the clouds so easily? ”

"What did you say?" Shi Sun Rui had an extremely ominous feeling in his heart, he didn't care about it, and suddenly slapped his palm: "All soldiers, kill thieves!" ”

The arrows that rained in the imagination did not fall, above Miyagi. Instead, there was a scream.

A group of ghostly masked men had already infiltrated the city, and they took advantage of the darkness to quietly hide under the shadows of the torches, and attacked the subordinates of Zhijingo from behind without warning.

Blood splattered. A lifeless body fell from the top of the city...... The seemingly flawless arrow array was crushed in an instant.

At the same time, the sound of killing outside the square shook the sky, and a group of Dong Jun cavalry came straight in, immediately suppressing the killers who had the upper hand...... The whole situation on the battlefield. It was an instant reversal.

"Dong thief...... Even if we die here today, we will swear to splash your blood! Shi Sun Rui only felt that the world was spinning, but he immediately came to his senses. He laughed miserably and swung his sword to kill.

He is in such a prominent martial arts position as Jin Wu, he is naturally good at martial arts, and he is desperate to die, plus there are still many subordinate colleagues around him who do not care about the cover of life and death, but when he saw the sword light, he stabbed down seven or eight guards in front of Dong Zhuo in a row, and he was unstoppable for a while.

Dong Zhuo raised his eyebrows, and was about to make a move in person, when he saw a tall figure flying in the chaos of the army, as if entering a no-man's land.

"Stop him!" Shi Sun Rui's subordinates shouted angrily and killed, but they were beaten by the man's understatement and beat one by one to vomit blood and fly upside down, and there was no one to join in.

"Who is it?" Shisun Rui Kankan had already killed in front of Dong Zhuo, only then did he realize that there was something wrong behind him, and he didn't turn his head back to backhand a sword, but he only felt an irresistible huge force coming from the tip of the sword, and it was immediately like a lightning strike, and the long sword also flew out of his hand.

The man grabbed the back of Shi Sun Rui's neck with one hand, and raised the huge living person with one hand as if nothing was there, and suddenly shouted: "Shi Sun Rui has been taken down, and he still doesn't stop!" ”

This sound of interruption resounded through the square like rolling thunder.

Both sides of the war stopped in shock.

"Bongxian! It's you! With Dong Zhuo's cry of surprise and joy, everyone saw clearly the figure of Sun Rui, who was in the midst of thousands of troops.

With a proud face, his body is as tall as a mountain, like the majestic posture of the god of war born and looking at the world, who is it not Lu Bu?

"The marriage of the Taishi is late, and the end will be late, I would like to use this traitorous head as a gift!" Lu Bu smiled proudly, and threw Sun Rui in front of Dong Zhuo between his arms.

Before Shi Sun Rui struggled to get up, more than ten snow-bright long knives were already in his neck.

"Abandon your weapons, and those who descend will not die!" With the roar of Dong Jun's soldiers coming, this sudden and vicious battle was nearing its end.

The total number of assassins has reached about 1,000 people has been slaughtered, except for a few people who have fought their way out of the encirclement, the rest of them have either died or have been captured, and all the ministers who participated in the assassination have been wiped out, and even one of them who escaped is not served.

"Humph! Want to kill a lonely? You don't have enough portions! Dong Zhuo stretched out his toes and picked up Shi Sun Rui's chin: "Early tomorrow morning, Lone will personally slash you alive....... and tonight, Lone still has something to do!" ”

"Fengxian, you did a good job!" He glanced deeply at Lu Bu, who was silent beside him: "You didn't disappoint Lone, and Lone, I won't fail you!" ”

"All the rebels, put them in prison!" A Dong general roared like thunder and ordered continuously: "Clean up the corpse....... protect the Taishi....... and keep the other officials in custody!" ”

The ministers who had not participated in the assassination of Dong lost their color together.

"Not necessarily!" Dong Zhuo squeezed out a smile: "You arrested all the adults so indiscriminately, who accompanied the lonely into the palace to face the saint?" ”

didn't wait for the ministers to exhale a breath of air, as if to confirm Dong Zhuo's words. A sharp eunuch's voice at the palace gate shouted: "By the holy decree, Dong Qing's family and hundreds of civil and military officials will enter the palace!" ”

At this moment, another majestic voice outside the square shouted: "Miss Diao Chan's car has arrived!" ”

"Listen, listen!" Dong Zhuo clapped his hands casually, and said impatiently: "Clean up, how about shocking Miss Diao Chan?" ”

The piercing sound of the door opening sounded again, and the two heavy palace doors finally opened completely.

"Colleagues, please!" Dong Zhuo waved his hand casually, and said with a smile: "Why don't you enter the palace with Lonely?" ”

Looking at the dark and deep palace gate like a beast's mouth, the ministers all trembled in their hearts. The whole body is cold, and there is a terrible premonition that there is more than one good luck here.

Looking at the crowd of people entering the palace in front of him, Li Ru did not feel any relaxed, and Shicai's calmness in turning things around with his backhand was gone...... He instinctively felt that there was a strange atmosphere gradually brewing inside and outside the palace, but he couldn't say what the problem was. He could only concentrate on everyone who passed in front of him, trying to find an answer.

Suddenly, a pair of eagle-like sharp eyes collided with his.......

"Bongxian!" He smiled reluctantly: "You have made a great achievement today!" ”

"Where!" The corners of Lu Bu's mouth slowly tugged. showed a strange smile: "Wen You is the first opportunity to anticipate the enemy, and he will win by surprise!" Please....... you and my brother just entered the palace together! ”

Li Ru looked at the weird smile on his face, shivered for no reason, and pretended to be nothing: "Look." Miss Diao Chan's car has not yet entered the palace, of course she has to stay to greet her brother....... or she will be invited first, and she will come after her brother! ”

"Good! See you and me in the palace! Lu Bu glanced at Li Ru deeply, and walked into the palace gate without looking back.

Until Lu Bu's figure completely submerged into the darkness after the palace gate. Li Ru's heart was relieved, and the terrible feeling of being targeted by a fierce beast gradually faded.

In an instant, there was no one in front of him. Diao Chan's car has also galloped into the palace without a hurry.

Li Ru was stunned for a moment before he stepped sideways, preparing to be the last one to enter the palace.

"My lord! Please stay! Behind him, a deep voice sounded: "There are 100,000 urgent news reported by my subordinates!" ”

A soft voice came, but there was no half of a figure around, and the person who spoke seemed to be hidden in the shadows of the corner of the palace wall, like a ghost in the middle of the night.

"It's you!" Li Ru was shaken violently, but he didn't look back: "How is the situation?" ”

"Outside the dense forest in the north of the city, there are signs of fighting everywhere, but Dong Yu, Xu Rong, and three thousand cavalrymen are nowhere to be found!" The voice said without any fluctuations: "The subordinates look at the hoof prints, they should have been copied after the fiasco but were copied back to Chang'an, and were forced to retreat into the distance!" ”

"What!" Li Ru's body was already trembling like a sieve, and he said in a trembling voice: "What about Huaxiong and Hu Zhen!" ”

"Just half an hour ago, these two men suddenly disappeared, and the people sent to follow them have no news!" The voice continued in a lifeless tone: "The last man who knew where they were going said that he saw them coming here......."

"They sneaked into the palace....... something is wrong!" Li Ru finally screamed: "You idiot, why did you come to report at this moment?" ”

"Your Excellency! The subordinates were originally going to rush to report, but there was a big chaos in front of the Shicai Palace, how could the subordinates get close to ......."

"What did you say?" Li Ru suddenly felt cold sweat all over his body, and he finally understood where the ominous feeling came from: "Could it be that they even counted the assassination in front of the palace gate?" ”

"My lord, what are we going to do now?" The voice continued.

"This official wants to ......." Li Ru raised his leg and was about to rush into the palace gate, when suddenly one leg hung in the air, and he couldn't move anymore.

"The general trend is gone, the general trend is gone! At this point, there is no way back! He smiled miserably and said dejectedly: "While the dagger has not yet appeared, let's leave immediately!" (To be continued.) )
