He Jin led the way in front, and Chen Cheng followed behind and approached the city. The tooth soldiers stepped forward, took control of the city gate, and ordered the soldiers and horses in the city to return to the barracks. The soldiers did not resist, but asked in a low voice, "Can you give me something to eat?" ”

The soldier who was questioned was stunned for a moment, then turned his head to ask the officer, and received a positive answer. After a while, the smell of dried meat soup wafted from the city. Because it was a light army, the army was not equipped with a baggage battalion this time, and the food of the army relied on the materials carried by each Qu itself, that is, some dried meat, salted fish, pastries, fried rice, fried noodles and other easy to carry.

These things are heavy salt and heavy oil food, and if they are placed in the future generations, they will definitely be dismissed as junk food, but they are very popular with soldiers. When the soldiers and ministers in the city smelled the smell of meat, their stomachs kept "growling", and their mouths secreted saliva.

The crowd surged towards the place where the broth was boiling in the street. If it weren't for the surrounding Xiliang military knives and guns, I am afraid that there would be a stampede. He Jin smelled the smell of broth at the end of his nose and heard the noise in the city in his ears, but as if nothing had happened, he took Chen Cheng to the place where the Son of Heaven was.

The group hurried through the streets. Three hundred soldiers in steel armor and with sharp blades in their hands marched in order, already alarming everyone around them. Behind the doors and windows, many eyes peeked in, observing the strange army in the street through the cracks.

Those who can live with the Son of Heaven are either very important figures in the court, or relatives of the emperor. Among them are Shisun Duan, Fu Wan, Yang Biao and others. They saw that the Xiliang Army was strictly disciplined, and although there were hundreds of people, their actions were orderly, and they let go of their worries that the Xiliang Army would plunder, but they were worried about other things.

Chen Cheng stayed in Luoyang for a period of time and saw the magnificence and grandeur of the palace, which was the residence of the Son of Heaven in the minds of the Han people. The place where the Son of Heaven temporarily lives now is naturally incomparable with the palace in Luoyang. But he didn't think there was anything wrong with it, it was actually a good thing for the emperor to suffer a little more when he was still young.

Most of the emperors who have always been raised in the backyard of the deep palace and grown up in the hands of women are mediocre and incompetent. Chen Cheng himself does not like luxury, so he does not feel sad about the emperor living in such a small place like other ministers. Having a place to live and food is already better than most people in this world.

He thought about it for a while, among the princes in the world now, except for Yuan Shu, who is too arrogant, even if the other princes are ambitious, they will not do anything to him after they catch the emperor. In another history, the emperor rebelled several times, didn't Cao Cao still endure it?

Before arriving at the emperor's residence, several armor soldiers stood guard at the gate of the courtyard and stretched out their hands to stop Chen Cheng. He tilted his head slightly and asked, "What does this mean?" ”

When Chen Cheng doesn't have a smile on his face, it will give people a great sense of oppression. The armor soldier guarding the door trembled in his heart, and said stubbornly: "In front of the Son of Heaven, you can't carry a blade!" ”

"Oh, that's right!"

Chen Cheng smiled and happily took off the horizontal knife hanging from his waist. The armor guarding the door was about to pick it up, but Chen Cheng handed it over to Zhao Si and ordered: "Clean up this place, so as not to wait for the Son of Heaven's face to look bad." ”

Zhao Si took the horizontal knife, with a somewhat hideous smile on his face, and said loudly: "The lord will wait a while, and the minister will come when he goes!" ”

He turned around and ordered loudly: "The first team stays here to protect the lord, and the others come with me!" ”

With that, he strode forward. The armor guarding the gate was furious and shouted, "Do you want to rebel? ”

With that, they pulled out the ring head knife and stabbed at Zhao Si. Zhao Si didn't even look at it, and continued to move towards the courtyard. Beside him, several guards pounced, slashed down, and in the flickering of the knife, several armor soldiers guarding the door fell to the ground screaming.

He Jin, who was standing on the side, had a tremor on his face, and then he stood there, listening to the sound of gold and iron coming from the courtyard. After a while, Zhao Si walked out with blood all over his body, and said in a loud voice: "Lord Qiqi, the fifty-three enemy soldiers in ambush in the courtyard have all been killed, and the Son of Heaven is already under control!" ”

Chen Cheng looked at He Jin on the side, shook his head, and said, "General, why bother?" Even if you kill me, will you be able to control the tens of thousands of troops outside the city? Together, the swords and soldiers may hurt His Majesty. ”

He Jin said indifferently: "I have to try it after all, otherwise how can I be willing?" ”

Chen Cheng smiled and said: "This is also true, if the broom is not swept away, the dust will not be cleaned up, and the old forces will always refuse to honestly withdraw from the stage of history." ”

When Zhao Si led the guards to clean up the courtyard, Liu Qian walked to the lobby first. Dressed in heavy steel armor, she stepped on a plank with a horizontal knife at her waist and walked over. Hearing the sound of footsteps getting closer and closer outside, Liu Yan's body couldn't help but tremble.

He said to the Empress Dowager He on the side with some panic: "Queen Mother, the Xiliang thief is here!" ”

After Liu Hong's death, Liu Bian succeeded to the throne as emperor, and Empress He was promoted to Empress Dowager He. But she was just thirty years old, and her living conditions were good and well-maintained, and she looked like a woman of twenty-four or five. She was much calmer than Liu Bian, even if there were constant screams in the courtyard just now, Empress Dowager He's face was just a little pale.

At this time, seeing that the Son of Heaven was so cowardly, the Empress Dowager He couldn't help but be furious, she glanced at Liu Bian, and reprimanded: "You are the Son of Heaven, you should have the bearing of the Son of Heaven." Not to mention that the thief hasn't been killed yet, even if he does, he must not lose the identity of the emperor! ”

Liu Bian was reprimanded by Empress Dowager He, and suddenly didn't dare to say anything, just looked nervously down the corridor.

Liu Qian pressed the knife and entered, and saw many people sitting in the hall. On both sides are the important ministers in the court, and at the top of the place are the Son of Heaven Liu Bian and the Empress Dowager He, and beside the Empress Dowager He, there is a girl about seventeen or eighteen years old, dressed as a palace maid. She looked at Liu Xie in a daze for a while, and then thought of her younger brother Liu Xie, who was already dead, and her eyes couldn't help but turn red.

Liu Wei watched in horror as a seven-foot-tall martial artist walked up to the hall, and when he was wondering how the other party looked familiar, he saw that the other party's eyes suddenly turned red, and said, "Brother Huang, I haven't seen you for a long time, it's always been good?" ”

"Huh?"

Liu Yan's hand trembled, and he stood up from his seat suddenly, and said dumbfoundedly: "But Sister Liu Qian? ”

Liu Qian took a deep breath and said, "It's me!" ”

Liu Bian looked at Liu Qian in surprise, his heart settled down a lot, and said, "How does my sister dress up like this?" ”

Liu Qian woke up from the trance of seeing her relatives, she pressed the horizontal knife on her waist, and said proudly: "I am now a second lieutenant under the command of Liangzhou Mu, and I am interning in the tooth soldiers, of course I am dressed like this!" ”

The Son of Heaven Liu Wei looked at Liu Qian's heroic appearance, envious and shocked, and didn't know what to say. But after Empress Dowager He recovered from the shock, she reprimanded: "Princess Wannian is a royal clan, how can she dress like this?" Isn't this an insult to the dignity of the royal family? ”

Liu Qian tilted her head, looked at the Empress Dowager He beside the Son of Heaven, sneered, and was about to speak, but heard the sound of steel colliding behind her, and when she turned around, she saw Chen Cheng coming over with a group of wolf-like toothed soldiers. She cast a contemptuous look at Empress Dowager He, and then retreated to the side.

Liu Yan originally wanted to talk to Liu Qian and pull the relationship, but when he saw a group of soldiers breaking in, he immediately became worried again. He sat down in his place at the top, trembling and waiting for his fate.

Originally, his temperament was not like this, but before Yuan Shu's army attacked the city, the day and night battle frightened the emperor. Later, Sun Jian led his troops to break through the outer city, and Yuan Shujun rushed in, slaughtering and looting in Luoyang City, and the sound of the soldiers and people crying resounded for ten miles.

It was that time that the Son of Heaven Liu Bianzhi knew what kind of virtue the princes of the world had, so he became what he is now. Moreover, he had also seen Chen Cheng before, and knew that the leader of the Xiliang Army who came over was driven out of Luoyang by the general, which made his heart even more afraid.

Taiwei Yang Biao had already wanted to reprimand Liu Qian when he saw Liu Qian coming to the court with a weapon before, but later Liu Qian revealed his identity and staged a scene where brother and sister met, and Yang Biao couldn't say anything. Now that Chen Cheng came over with a large group of soldiers, Yang Biao immediately stood up and reprimanded loudly: "The Son of Heaven is here, why don't you kneel down and salute?" ”

Chen Cheng glanced sideways at Yang Biao and said with a smile: "It turned out to be Mrs. Yang, no wonder you dare to speak like this." ”

After that, he didn't care about Yang Biao and the ministers in the hall, and carefully looked at Liu Bian, the son of heaven who was sitting at the top for a while. Liu Wei was wearing a gorgeous crown of the Son of Heaven, his figure was much older than four years ago, and he could vaguely see the appearance of the first emperor Liu Hong on his face.

When Chen Cheng looked at the Son of Heaven, Zhao Si commanded the guards to surround the lobby. Everyone in the hall was also looking at Chen Cheng, many of these ministers had met with Chen Cheng, but they were also the same as He Jin, and they couldn't connect the majestic warrior in front of them with the handsome young man in the past at the first time.

Chen Cheng looked at Liu Wei for a while, and sighed: "Your Majesty is somewhat similar to the first emperor. ”

Liu saw that Chen Cheng was tall, and his arms were almost as thick as his own thighs, and he couldn't help but be scared. He suppressed the fear in his heart and asked, "Who are you?" Have you seen my father? ”

Chen Cheng smiled and said, "Four years ago, the minister met His Majesty, why don't you recognize him now?" ”

Liu Bian only felt that the person in front of him was a little familiar, and when he was thinking about where he had seen it, Queen He on the side suddenly burst out in surprise, "Ah, are you the Marquis of Julu?" ”

Giant Deer Marquis? Isn't that the former emperor's favorite minister, the current leader of the Xiliang Army, Chen Cheng and Chen Wenzheng?

Chen Cheng still remembered the appearance of Empress Dowager He, and said with a smile: "It's exactly below." ”
