Chapter 447: The Son of Heaven is gone
In less than a stick of incense, the sentry had already rushed to report and said urgently: "Report to the general, I have received news that the fire in the imperial city has spread to the front hall of the Dao Qian, and it has not been controlled!" ”
When Liu Xie heard the news, he couldn't help but be a little stunned, what he could confirm was that Li Dao estimated that he was not rescuing at all, otherwise, there were two courtyards separated from the front hall of the dormitory road, and in less than an hour, the two courtyards had been burned through. It's just that what he didn't expect was that this so-called imperial city was actually made of wood and reeds, and fire was its biggest threat.
After another half an hour, the sentry continued to report, "Report! The front hall has been burned down because of the fierce fire! ”
Liu Xie glanced at Fan Chou and said, "General Fan, what do you think you should do at this time?" ”
Without waiting for Fan Chou to answer, Xu Rong stepped forward and said: "General Guo, if you don't send troops to rescue you at this time, I'm afraid it will be troublesome, and if the front hall is burned again, it will soon extend to the outer city." ”
Fan Chou also nodded yes, Liu Xie saw that these two people were gone, and he was just about to order troops, but he heard another sentry coming, and hurriedly reported: "Report!" Report...... General, something is wrong! The Son of Heaven in the Imperial City...... The Son of Heaven is gone! ”
"Ahh Xu Rong, Fan Chou, and Liu Xie couldn't help but let out an exclamation, but Liu Xie was different from them in that he just pretended to be.
Fan Chou was speechless in shock, Xu Rong was still a little older, and he was sober up faster, and hurriedly said: "You confirm, the Son of Heaven is gone!" ”
The sentry confirmed, "Foolproof, this is the news from the Golden Fingerguard." ”
Xu Rong sighed: "It's broken, it's broken!" This time, I'm afraid it's not just the Golden Finger Guard who will be unlucky. ”
Liu Xie smiled slightly and said, "General Xu, what are you looking for!" Now hurry up and send an order down to seal off the outer city to prevent someone from taking advantage of the chaos to rob the Son of Heaven! ”
Fan Chou reacted at this time, and hurriedly echoed: "Exactly! Precisely! The outer city is quickly blocked, I'm afraid someone has deliberately come to rob the Son of Heaven! ”
Liu Xie straightened up, sat up, and said, "General Xu and General Fan listen to orders!" ”
Xu Rong and Fan Chou immediately surrendered their hands to receive the order, but they heard Liu Xie say: "You each bring a man and a horse to block the east city and the west city gate, and no one is allowed to leave the city at this time!" ”
The two of them were ordered to go, knowing that this east and west city gate is the main passage of Chang'an, and the enemy must pass through this gate if he wants to escape. It's just that since Liu Xie is arranged like this, then Huang Yueying and the others must not have passed through this gate, although the south gate and the north gate are all sheep intestine paths and rugged mountain roads, but Huang Yueying and the three of them have already arrived at the south gate at this time, and quickly climbed over the city wall and went in the direction of Hanzhong.
Liu Xie always estimated that Huang Yueying and the others were almost gone, so he continued to order, saying: "Block the north and south city gates, no one is allowed to enter or leave!" ”
After another half an hour, seeing that the sky was about to brighten, Liu Xie slowly returned to the back hall and came to his mansion. As soon as he entered the door, he was surrounded by those warblers and swallows, Liu Xie really didn't expect that this Guo Ci would hide so many beauties in his mansion, which was really a test for him in the next few days.
He had no choice but to take a shower in the cramped way, and after getting dressed under the service of his beauty, the family in front of him had rushed to report that he was invited!
Liu Xie knew that the real test had finally come at this time, and those gentle townships and warblers and warblers just now could only be regarded as welfare at most. And now he finally has to meet Dong Zhuo face-to-face, and he will face such a stalemate in the next few days.
Liu Xie rode a horse and soon came to the door of Dong Zhuo's Xiangguo Mansion, he had already visited once last night, and he was already quite familiar with this place.
When he dismounted, the guards in front of him had hurried over to help him lead the horse, and after bowing down, he said to Guo Xi: "General Guo, General Li Dao has already arrived, you should go in quickly." ”
The enthusiasm of the guards made Liu Xie stunned, he suddenly thought that although this Dong Zhuo Mansion was next to the imperial city, it belonged to the outer city, and the silver finger guards in the outer city were all his own people, and he couldn't help but smile at the moment, and said, "Okay, I know!" ”
As soon as the silver finger guard heard Guo Ci talking to him, he immediately became a little excited, he really couldn't understand what happened to Guo Ci today, and he actually started talking to himself.
Under the guidance of Dong Zhuo's family, Liu Xie soon came to Dong Zhuo's meeting hall, and as soon as he entered, he felt that the atmosphere was a little wrong, and his heart couldn't help but sink at the moment.
At this time, the conference hall was full of people, and the pot-bellied Dong Zhuo was like a puddle of meat, slumped on the tall chair in the middle, and Lu Bu stood below, heroic. Under the steps below, there are two rows of Wenchen and military generals, and in the middle is the unlucky guy - Li Dao.
When Liu Xie entered, everyone's eyes looked at him, and the depth of his gaze made people a little uncomfortable. He only felt that his throat was a little tight, bowed to the top, and said loudly: "Subordinate Guo Xi see Lord Xiangguo!" ”
Half an hour later, after a deathly silence, Dong Zhuo's voice came from above, which seemed to be a little impermeable, and said, "General Guo, get up, do you know that the Son of Heaven is gone!" ”
Liu Xie was just about to get up, and as soon as he heard him talk about the Son of Heaven, he immediately bowed down again, and hurriedly said: "Lord Xiangguo, according to the laws of Chang'an, his subordinates are in charge of the affairs of the outer city, but in the early hours of this morning, his subordinates learned that the Son of Heaven was gone, and immediately sent Xu Rong and Fan Chou to block the east and west city gates, and then the north and south city gates were also closed. ”
Dong Zhuo sighed and said, "What a General Guo, you have arranged it clearly and properly!" Then everyone is going to blame you, since you don't dare to participate in the affairs of the Imperial City, why did you break into the Imperial City Dormitory last night? ”
"This ......" Liu Xie couldn't help but shake his body, he didn't expect Li Dao to sell himself so quickly, he looked at Li Dao at the moment, but saw him kneeling there, his head down, and he couldn't see anything!
"Lord Xiangguo! Subordinate...... My subordinates went to the Imperial City yesterday, and I thought I would go with General Li, but I went back alone if there was something at home! This statement was agreed upon by him and Li Dao in the world, and when Dong Zhuo talked about this, he knew that Li Dao did not betray himself, but Dong Zhuo began to doubt himself, or someone else saw his whereabouts last night.
"! You...... You clearly wanted to defile the queen last night, did you not defile it, and killed the Son of Heaven and the queen in annoyance! You say, "You didn't set the fire!" Dong Zhuo said angrily, which made Liu Xie feel a little shocked for a while.
When he was still thinking about what to say, Lu Bu had come to the front at this time, looked at Liu Xie and said coldly: "General Guo, don't want to deny it again, last night I watched you leave the Xiangguo Mansion with General Li, saying that you were going to the imperial city to find Queen Fu, do you and I don't know, or is my father-in-law deliberately trying to trouble you?" ”
Liu Xie's face changed, and he said: "What General Lu said is that since you want to prove it like this, then I have no choice, I can only tell you that I really didn't go to the imperial city, let alone the dormitory!" ”。
Dong Zhuo said: "Since you can't tell it, does it matter whether you go or not?" Let's go on death row first, and now hurry up and find the Son of Heaven! ”
A burst of guards came up and directly pressed Liu Xie to the ground, and soon he was tied up and sent directly to death row.
