Liu Wei was so frightened by Zhang Rang's actions that he burst into tears. The cry made Zhang pause and stop his footsteps near the river. He slowly let go of Liu Wei, and at this last moment, he finally came to his senses.

Zhang Rang looked at Liu Bian, but he was in tears, and cried bitterly with him. If Liu Wei is counted, then he has served a total of three Han family emperors, no matter what the little emperor says, he has watched him grow up, and this familiar cry evokes his lost reason.

"Your Majesty, the old slave is guilty and ashamed of the first emperor, causing Your Majesty to suffer this catastrophe. I am waiting to die today, the world will be in chaos after this, and please take care of yourself. After speaking, Zhang Rang committed suicide by throwing himself into the river.

Seeing this, Lu Zhi hurriedly ran over to protect Liu Wei and Liu Xie behind him, and stayed away from the river. He looked at Dahe and said softly: "Today, we have finally eliminated the eunuchs and the others, and the world will be back on track, and what you are worried about will not be realized." ”

accidentally rescued the Son of Heaven, of course this place can't stay for long. It should be almost time for the Son to return to the palace as soon as possible. Lu Zhi put Liu Wei and Liu Xie in the carriage and returned along the road with the team.

However, when Lu Zhi passed by Beimangshan, he met Dong Zhuo unexpectedly. The team was directly surrounded by Dong Zhuo's army.

"I am Shangshu Lu Zhi, who is the general who leads the troops?" Although he was surrounded by an army that far outnumbered him, Lu Zhi did not panic at all, showing the demeanor of the great Confucian of the world.

"Who should I be, it turned out to be Lu Shangshu." Dong Zhuo rode in front of Lu Zhi and looked down at him from top to bottom. "Lu Shangshu, it's been a long time."

Lu Zhi didn't greet him, and asked, "General Dong, why are you here, Captain Sili clearly said that you have withdrawn and gone to the state?" ”

Dong Zhuo naturally wouldn't say that it was Yuan Shao's edict and let him into Beijing. Yizheng said rhetorically: "I know that the capital will be in chaos, how can I leave here." The Hangu Pass guard will not let me enter Gyeonggi, so I will have to go around the Seongguan Pass and go down the river. ”

"You're a rebel......

"Let's not say whether I'm guilty or not, something happened in the capital, I'm not wrong. The general was killed, and Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu invaded the imperial city to massacre the eunuchs. It's all messed up like this, if I go back, won't the capital be empty? What if there is another villain? ”

Lu Zhi snorted coldly, he had nothing to say about Dong Zhuo's strong words.

Dong Zhuo saw that Lu Zhi didn't speak, and still said to himself: "As soon as I arrived in the capital, I heard that the eunuchs led by Zhang Rang and others had run to the north, so I brought troops here. Lu Shangshu happened to come back from the north, I don't know if I saw those eunuchs? ”

He said so on his lips, but in his heart, he kept praying that Lu Zhi did not catch up with Zhang and let them.

Lu Zhi heard the completely opposite meaning in Dong Zhuo's words, so he said with a smile: "The eunuchs who escaped have all been ambushed. ”

Dong Zhuo was shocked by the news, the eunuchs were all dead, didn't that mean that he ran away in vain? The way he looked at Lu Zhi became very dangerous, he ran all the way over, not hesitating to bear the infamy of rebellion, but he didn't expect to be robbed of the credit by Lu Zhi in the end.

"yes, that's a great congratulations." Dong Zhuoyan said insincerely, "Did Lu Shangshu still bring a carriage when he came out to pursue the eunuchs, who is doing this?" ”

He noticed the carriage at the beginning, although it was strange, but his main concern was the eunuch, so he didn't care.

But now that he learned that the eunuchs had been killed, he naturally had nothing to do, so he asked casually.

"There are no important people in it, the carriage belongs to Zhang Rang, since Zhang Rang is dead, then I will use it to transport the wounded soldiers, these are just some wounded soldiers." Lu Zhi didn't want Dong Zhuo to see the Son of Heaven.

Dong Zhuo is now completely angry, and blames all the blame on Lu Zhi. Seeing that Lu Zhi didn't want to let himself touch the carriage, he wanted to see it even more in his heart.

"The thief was injured, that is a loyal man, won't Lu Shangshu introduce me to him?"

"It's just some family soldiers guarding the hospital, and it is their responsibility to kill thieves and serve the country, not to mention loyalty. Now that the eunuchs are gone, it's time for me to go back to the capital, and it's time for General Dong to go to the state. ”

Dong Zhuo thought that there should be something important in this carriage, and Lu Zhi didn't want to let him know so much.

"It's okay to see it." As soon as Dong Zhuo waved his hand, the soldiers under his command immediately surrounded him, controlling Lu Zhi and his family soldiers.

"Dong Zhongying, what are you going to do?" Lu Zhi said in a hurry.

Dong Zhuo snorted coldly, ridiculing Lu Zhi for not measuring his own strength, and not looking at what the current situation is. There are many more people than him, how can he stop him from doing anything.

But just when Dong Zhuo wanted to get closer, Liu Xie in the carriage pulled Liu Wei out with him.

Dong Zhuo couldn't help but despise Lu Zhi at a glance, aren't these just two children, worthy of him being so precious, he didn't even let himself look at it. Child?

By the light of the fire, he could see clearly the clothes worn by the two children, the black crowns. "Lu Shangshu, aren't these two people?"

At this point, there is no way to hide it. Lu Zhi shouted: "Naturally, it is the Son of Heaven and King Chen Liu, Dong Zhongying, don't hurry up to visit Your Majesty!" ”

Dong Zhuo and his soldiers immediately dismounted, knelt down and said: "Your Majesty, long live the five emperors, long live, long live!" ”

Dong Zhuo, whose face was about to touch the ground, was in an instant mood now. This is really a blessing and a curse, I thought I ran away in vain, but I didn't expect to be able to intercept the Son of Heaven here.

"The minister's rescue is late, please forgive your majesty."

It's just that after Dong Zhuo finished speaking, he couldn't wait for the reply of the Son of Heaven, so he could only keep kneeling on the ground, and slowly began to complain in his heart.

Liu Wei still took care of these things, he hadn't recovered from the shock just now, and now so many people suddenly appeared in front of him in front of him, and he was afraid again. The expression on his face gradually distorted, and he was about to cry.

At this time, a small hand grabbed him, turned his head and found that Liu Xie was looking at him firmly, and he felt a lot more relieved. I didn't want to cry, but I couldn't speak.

"Dong Qing's family is flat." A glutinous voice sounded.

Dong Zhuo felt a little better in his heart, if he was kneeling, wouldn't he deserve it.

He stood up and found that it was not Liu Wei, the Son of Heaven, who had just spoken, but Liu Xie, the king of Chen Liu, which surprised him.

"Dong Qing's family has a meritorious role in saving the driver, and it is just the right time to come." Liu Xie continued, "The traitor Zhang Rang is dead, and I ask Dong Qing's family to send His Majesty and Gu back to the palace." ”

Dong Zhuo looked at Liu Xie, and then at Liu Wei, and felt that they were also born to a father, and the two brothers were too far apart.

Although Liu Xie said so, Dong Zhuo was still waiting for Liu Wei's instructions, after all, the most honorable person here was still the Son of Heaven.

After a long while, Liu Wei finally nodded with Liu Xie's encouragement. Dong Zhuo breathed a sigh of relief as if he had been granted amnesty.

"It's getting late, please ask the Son of Heaven and King Chen Liuwang to rest in the carriage, and when the day dawns, the minister will escort the Son of Heaven and King Chen Liuwang back to Luoyang."

"Well, that's very good." Liu Xie said. Liu Wei still grabbed his brother's hand and didn't dare to speak.

The two returned to the carriage, and Dong Zhuo said to Lu Zhi: "The Son of Heaven and King Chen Liuwang will be escorted back by me, and Lu Shangshu should go back first." ”

Dong Zhuo planned to drive Lu Zhi away, so that he could monopolize the credit for rescuing the Son of Heaven. I didn't know that the Son of Heaven was robbed out of the palace before, but now that I know it, I naturally have to hold it firmly in my hand.

He now feels that Yuan Shao is nothing more than this, the Son of Heaven has been robbed, and he is still killing eunuchs in the palace, which is simply putting the cart before the horse. How can a mere eunuch be as important as the Son of Heaven, even if he kills all the eunuchs, he does not have a great contribution to saving the Son of Heaven.

It's really not easy for Lu Zhi to kill Zhang Rang and save the Son of Heaven. If it weren't for the fact that he brought more people than him, then he really wouldn't have anything to do today.

"General Dong also said, now that it's all over, we have been chasing for a day, and we are already exhausted, so we have a good time to rest now, and we will rush back to Luoyang tomorrow." How could Lu Zhi rest assured that Dong Zhuo and the Son of Heaven were together.

Whew, what an annoying guy. Dong Zhuo thought to himself: But it doesn't matter, as long as the Son of Heaven is in his hands, everyone will feel that it is his own credit, not Lu Zhi's.

……

The next day, the team set off for Luoyang. As a result, less than ten miles away from Luoyang, he encountered a rescue team led by Yuan Shao.

As soon as they met, Yuan Shao learned the news that Dong Zhuo had rescued the Son of Heaven in Beimangshan, and his heart suddenly became indignant. I was busy for a long time, but Dong Zhuo took the lead.

"The minister's rescue is late, please forgive your majesty." Yuan Shao bowed to the carriage.

The people in the carriage didn't speak, but Dong Zhuo spoke first: "General Yuan is busy suppressing thieves, and it is understandable that he can't take care of the Son of Heaven for a while." But it doesn't matter, the Son of Heaven has been rescued by me, so General Yuan doesn't have to blame himself. ”

Yuan Shao was furious, this Liangzhou barbarian dared to speak like this, and he was so heartbroken, he almost didn't make it clear that he was also a thief who didn't care about the safety of the Son of Heaven.

This is also normal, as long as it is someone Dong Zhuo values, he will respect it. But if a person offends him or is looked down upon by him, his attitude will change drastically.

"The crime of the minister deserves death, the crime of capital and the crime of death, please Your Majesty to surrender."

Similarly, Liu Wei in the carriage was afraid and didn't dare to speak, but Liu Xie replied: "Yuan Qing's family doesn't have to be like this, you have to kill the eunuchs because of the merit in the community, and you don't have to blame yourself." ”

Of course, Yuan Shao could hear that this was Liu Xie's voice, but now for him, Liu Wei or Liu Xie are the same, as long as there is a step down.

He immediately thanked him: "Thank Your Majesty for your forgiveness, and thank you for King Chen Liu." ”

Then Yuan Shao stood up and wanted to see the Son of Heaven in the carriage, but was stopped by Dong Zhuo. "General Yuan stopped killing at this time, the murderous aura on his body is too heavy, it is better not to see Your Majesty, you can avoid colliding with Your Majesty."

It's only been a few days, and Dong Zhuo's attitude in front of him has changed dramatically, and when he went to Xin'an to see him, he was very respectful.

Yuan Shao couldn't understand why, and Dong Zhuo naturally wouldn't tell him. However, he still said: "Since the Son of Heaven has been rescued, then leave the rest to me to deal with, General Dong can lead his troops back to Bingzhou, and the reward will be indispensable to the general at that time." ”

After Dong Zhuo heard Yuan Shao's words, he pushed him away, and said in a very bad tone: "General Yuan and his soldiers are tired, this heavy responsibility of guarding the Son of Heaven is not sloppy, it is better for me to come." ”

Yuan Shaoleng was stunned for a moment, and then became angry, and just wanted to get angry, but saw that all the soldiers under Dong Zhuo's command were surrounding him.

The scene became tense.
