Chapter 0461: Huaxiong Steals Horses
Xiping 11th year, March
The night was silent, and the patrolling guards passed by this street, and the city of Luoyang was quiet.
A dark shadow, along the houses on the side of the street, cautiously paced forward, from time to time to look around the situation, to make sure that there were no pedestrians, he dared to continue to act, all the way so sneaky, came to the county government in the center of the north city of Luoyang, outside the mansion, at the door of the mansion, stood two soldiers, because of the late night, these two people are also a little tired, drowsy.
The black shadow relieved his heart, looked around, took out the stone from his waist, and gently threw it from the courtyard wall, and then listened carefully, there was no sound, the black shadow walked to the side again, and threw the stone again, this time, he vaguely heard the sound of the horse rubbing its front hooves, he threw it a little farther away, and suddenly, the sound of the horse's loud neighing sounded!
The black shadow was very excited, rubbing his fists and palms, waiting for a later move.
After a long time, he was sure that there was nothing unusual around him, so he jumped suddenly, grabbed the courtyard wall with both hands, kicked the wall with both legs, and jumped directly on it, jumping lightly and jumping to the ground.
Hua Xiong breathed a sigh of relief, this finally jumped into the courtyard, and later rode on the horse, and ran away directly from the front door, these people will definitely not be able to catch up with me, when the time comes, and then hide the horse, they will not have any evidence, can say that I stole the horse, hehe, I can't say that I can still let them compensate for my horse, Hua Xiong thought in his heart, so he raised his head and looked around.
At that moment, torches lit up around Huaxiong, illuminating the place.
Hua Xiong hurriedly stretched out his hand, covered his face, and looked over secretly.
On the other side, it was the enemy he thought about day and night, Man Favor, at this moment, Man Pet was looking at him coldly, there were still some blood stains on his face, looking a little embarrassed, however, Hua Xiong didn't dare to make fun of it, because he was still holding a stone in his hand, Man Pet spoke...
"You threw this stone?"
"Well..."Hua Xiong smiled awkwardly and said, "Yes, I accidentally threw it in, and I was about to come in to find it, but it turned out that you picked it up, thank you, thank you..."
"Wellโ" nodded Manzhong.
.................
"What? Hua Xiong was locked up? Dong Zhuo jumped up violently.
Guan Yu said helplessly: "Man Pet directly handed him over to Ting Wei for the crimes of prohibiting night walking, stealing, breaking into the official mansion, and injuring officials..."
"Wounded officer?? Does this guy dare to do it in the official office? โ
"No, I heard that it was he who threw a stone inward, and it smashed on the bridge of Man's nose, and now Manpet is still healing...."
"Damn!!" Dong Zhuo covered his forehead and scolded: "This foolishness, such stupid things can be done...."
"Dong Gong, what should I do?"
"Hey, what else can I do, I have to go to Your Majesty, I just ask Your Majesty to be lenient, after all, he is not a big crime... However, this bastard can't let him go so easily, you go to him..."
"Me?"
"Ask him in person where he wants to be buried and what kind of coffin he wants!"
"Okay."
Dong Zhuo immediately tidied up his clothes, went to the palace, met the Son of Heaven, came to the palace gate, the soldiers went in to pray, Dong Zhuo waited at the door, waited for nearly half an hour, sweating on his forehead, before the soldiers came out and let him in, Dong Zhuo panted into the palace, and was led by the Yellow Gate, all the way to the Houde Palace, the Son of Heaven was not in the palace.
He sat in the shade of a tree outside the door, behind him two yellow doors, holding a pu fan, fanning the wind, and in the hands of the Son of Heaven, he was holding the second son Di who had just been born, I don't know what he was looking at, Dong Zhuo came, and he didn't dare to speak, standing aside, organizing words in his heart, the Son of Heaven didn't hang him for too long, glanced at him, and asked: "Dong Gong is here, I don't know what is important?" โ
"Hey, Your Majesty... It's not Hua Xiong's business..."Dong Zhuo grinned and said in a low voice.
"Hua Xiong? What happened to him? โ
"Your Majesty... Don't embarrass the ministers... Hua Xiong made a big mistake... I hope that Your Majesty will have mercy... Forgive sins, forgive sins."
"Forgiveness?" The Son of Heaven turned his head, looked at him, and said, "Since the army under your command rushed to Luoyang and took up official positions in various ministries, this Luoyang has been in chaos!" How do you run the army? Kindness? Take a good look for yourself, those who ride horses in the downtown area, drink and hurt people, and even those who are caught drowning on the street! Is this the general you brought out?! โ
"Your Majesty, this... It's not a felony, today's northern lieutenant is full of favor, he is really a cool official, my subordinates, it's not fake, but... I didn't hurt anyone, but I was caught by him, and I was drunk and hurt people, they were fighting with each other, joking, and I caught the two of them together. Full of pets to do so..."
"You mean, full of pets did something wrong?"
"I don't dare, it's just... This... Alas, the minister will be disciplined in the future, and he will not let such a thing happen again, and I hope that His Majesty will forgive me this time..."
The Son of Heaven looked at Dong Zhuo on the side, pondered for a long time, and said: "This time, I will bypass him, but I can't let the generals under your command continue to act like this, in this way, I will order Zheng Gong, you will personally take the generals under your command to Menzi to study, Zheng Guild will personally deal with the law and the like, if someone dares not to go, or dare not obey, make trouble, I... No mercy!! โ
Dong Zhuo nodded suddenly, and said with a smile: "Thank you, Your Majesty, thank you, Your Majesty." โ
After thanking him repeatedly, Dong Zhuo walked out of the palace, wiped the sweat from his forehead, sighed helplessly, walked towards the camp, rushed to the camp, and looked at Liu Mastiff and Zhuge Liang standing at the door.
Liu Mastiff asked a little eagerly: "I heard that Captain Hua was imprisoned in Tingwei Prison?" I don't know if Dong Gong knows his news? โ
Dong Zhuo said: "Your Highness doesn't need to worry, this guy just did something stupid, it's okay, he can come out tomorrow, it's just that, in the future, he will go to Menzi with me to learn..."
"Menzixue?" Liu Mastiff asked in some surprise.
"yes... Alas, I don't know what Your Majesty thinks, but let me lead this group of big bosses under my command to study with Zheng Xuan! โ
"Where did they learn to get in..."Dong Zhuo shook his head and said.
Zhuge Liang was stunned for a moment, and then said: "I heard that it seems that General Huang has also received such an order, and from tomorrow, he will also take the army to Menzi to study..."
"Oh? They also have a stupid person like Huaxiong there? โ
"This..."
"It's a little strange, why would Your Majesty want to send us all to study? I'm just that, the Northern Army under General Huang's command has always had good military discipline, and I've never heard of anything wrong...."
Dong Zhuo frowned, thinking hard, but he couldn't figure it out.
Zhuge Liang already knew a little in his heart that the Son of Heaven definitely wanted to reuse these people, and possibly Dong Zhuo, asking them to go to school, that is, to help them, improve their personal abilities, and then entrust them with important tasks... Dong Gong has always been obsessed with the position of the captain, and after Jia Gong was appointed as the captain, he had no merits, and the soldiers were dissatisfied, didn't the Son of Heaven want to replace Jia Gong with Dong Gong?
He thought in his heart, but he didn't say it, of course Dong Zhuo didn't continue to think, and immediately sent someone to inform the generals of the various departments that tomorrow, they would quickly meet in front of the big camp, and there was something important.
Guan Yu came to visit Huaxiong on Dong Zhuo's order.
Although Hua Xiong was imprisoned in Tingwei Prison, he did not have a very bad time, when Dong Zhuo and other generals returned to Luoyang, at the same time, there were many military horses and military marquis who also returned, some of them were assigned to the local area as thieves Cao, county lieutenants, and some stayed in Luoyang, and were on duty in Tingwei, Inner Court and other places, and many of the prison officials in Tingwei Prison were Hua Xiong's comrades in the Northern Army.
Therefore, when Guan Yu came, he also saw a lot of acquaintances, and they didn't embarrass Guan Yu, they directly took Guan Yu to Huaxiong, and one shouted: "Hua Junhou, Guan Junhou has come to see you!" This person was a soldier under Guan Yu, who later went to the Southern Army and followed Huangfu Song, and he took Guan Yu to Huaxiong.
Hua Xiong looked at Guan Yu in front of him excitedly, and looked, through the window, he smiled awkwardly, "Changsheng, you came to save me?" โ
Guan Yu shook his head and said, "Just to see you." โ
"Well, what's the matter? Dong Gongke went to find Manchu Pet, I was also unlucky, I threw a stone just to determine the location of the horse, who would think, he didn't go back in the middle of the night, he was still in the courtyard, and a stone hit him directly in the face... Alas...," Hua Xiong sighed.
And the jailer left them behind, and departed, and stood guard at the door.
Guan Yu sighed and asked, "Dong Gong asked me to ask you a word..."
"Huh?"
"Do you want to be buried in your hometown after you die, or will you be buried directly in Luoyang?"
Hua Xiong was stunned, he looked at Guan Yu's face, was stunned for a long time, and asked, "Immortal?" Are you kidding? โ
Guan Yu shook his head solemnly.
At that moment, Hua Xiong's face turned pale, his mouth opened wide, he breathed deeply, and he was silent for a long time before he said: "I'll be buried in Luoyang, I'm in my hometown, and I don't have a family, it's better here..."
"Well..."
"Immortality... apologize to Dong Gong and Captain Yuan on my behalf..."
"Yes."
"Also, His Highness and Kong Ming's two boys... Let them remember to come and worship me every year..."
"As for you, Changsheng... I'm sorry.. I have no choice, I have no more to pay back your horse, I have no family, I have no friends, you are my best brother, my new house is worth some money, you go and sell it, and change it for a horse..."
"Okay." Guan Yu said, turned around, and left the prison, leaving only Hua Xiong, standing in the prison in a daze, looking at Guan Yu in the distance.
The next day, a jailer stepped forward, opened the door, and escorted Hua Xiong out, Hua Xiong was a little annoyed, and shouted: "Before I die, you still don't give me a bite to eat?? We used to kill the captives and feed them, and you are too unkind! โ
The soldiers ignored him, stifled a laugh, pushed him out of prison.
"Who made this rule?? Why don't you send me off for dinner?! Oh, I know, I know, Yuan Gong said that it was a human attack! It's definitely him, this fight is not shallow!! Hua Xiong was wailing, and was directly pushed out of the Tingwei Mansion by the soldiers, the soldiers returned, and closed the door again, Hua Xiong was confused, turned around to look, Guan Yu was waiting outside the door.
Only then did Hua Xiong react.
"Okay, you Guan Changsheng, fool me like this!!"
"Hahaha, my horse, you haven't compensated me, how can you let you die so easily??"
