It's night, and Luoyang City is in chaos again.

The mansion of Dazai Sima Liang was surrounded by hundreds of Chinese Praetorian Guards who were originally guarding Luoyang.

In the house, there was chaos.

Sima Liang wore a single coat and walked out of the mansion with a cloak on his head. Dazai's subordinate governor Li Long grabbed him, "My lord, the rebels have arrived, and as an important minister of the country, you can't easily get into danger." There are still hundreds of elite soldiers in the house, please give an order, and the last general will lead troops to pacify it. ”

Sima Liang shook him off and sneered: "Joke, rebellion? How could there be a rebellion? If it is peaceful today, there will be no rebellion. Moreover, the widow is the minister of the society, who dares to hurt the orphan? ”

Sima Liang walked to the door of the mansion and heard the sound of hitting the wood outside the door, and was immediately shocked: "How can this be?" How dare thieves attack my door? ”

Then, from the noise outside the house, he heard the "rebels" shouting in unison, "Dazai has betrayed!" Voice.

Sima Liang suddenly leaned back with sore hands and feet, and the family members were busy supporting him, he grabbed the hand of his son Sima Ju beside him with trembling hands, and asked, "Son, the old man is old and deaf, listen, what is you shouting outside?" ”

Before Sima Ju could answer, torches appeared on the walls of Dazai's house, and the firelight illuminated the entire front yard, and the sound of "Dazai's rebellion" reached his ears even more clearly. The rebels had already set up a ladder outside the wall and climbed the courtyard wall of Dazaifu.

Sima Liang was not surprised, he laughed and said: "I am the son of Emperor Xuan and the Dazai of the country." For the country and the people, there is no second heart! How can there be a rebellion? ”

"You say that the widows rebelled, but is there any evidence? Do you have an edict from Your Majesty? Can you look at it with the widow? ”

The more urgent the attack outside the mansion, Sima Liang Changshi Liu Zhun persuaded: "Lord, it seems that there must be a villain's conspiracy, and there are countless loyal and brave people in the lord's mansion, so it is better to resist, and wait until tomorrow morning and tomorrow, the truth will be revealed, and the conspiracy of the thieves will inevitably be self-defeating." ”

Sima Liang hesitated: "The soldiers outside the palace came on the orders of the emperor, if the widow raised troops to resist, wouldn't it be in the hands of the thieves?" No, never! ”

Liu Zhun, Li Long and others were about to persuade again. Hearing the sound of "boom-" on the ground, the gate of Dazaifu collapsed, and Sima Liang raised his eyes to see that the soldiers were rushing in with torches, sweeping in like a raging sea of fire. In the firelight in the sky, Sima Liang suddenly understood his ending......

The Taibao Mansion of Wei Qian is almost like the Dazaifu Mansion. The difference is that Sima Liang was still sleeping beforehand, while Wei Qian was still writing the impeachment letter with enthusiasm half an hour ago.

Now, he and his family are being driven into the courtyard by the soldiers, who then surround them.

Wei Qianwei's eyes were round, and several junior family members with sad faces suddenly stopped speaking. Then, he took a step forward, and the few soldiers in front of him took two steps back in a panic, and Wei Qian looked ahead and arched his hand: "King, what is going on tonight?" ”

Sima Yao respectfully replied: "Boss, the widow was ordered by His Majesty to surround the Taibao Mansion to remove the Lord from the post of Taibao. Tonight, the widow disturbed the boss. ”

"Does the king know the details of this matter?"

"I don't know."

"The old man asked to see the emperor to state his grievances."

Sima Yao responded: "Naturally, you can." The widow was ordered to remove the lord from his official position and protect his safety. If you want to meet the royal brother, this matter is over, you can do it. ”

Wei Qian nodded, and he stroked his beard and began to ponder.

"Master Wei, don't think about it. Tonight, it was the last general who came with his troops. How have you been, sir? ”

Wei Qian looked at the warrior in golden armor suspiciously, and after a while, he frowned and said, "You...... It's Rong Hui. ”

"Hahaha, you still remember me, sir. At the beginning, I was really miserable by you. You wouldn't have thought that you and your family would one day fall into my hands! ”

Wei Qian said astringently: "Rong Hui, the old man has always acted without shame. What do you want to do, just come to the old man! ”

Rong Hui laughed, "Ten years ago, a certain was the governor of Sikong Tent, and now he is the captain of the Tun Cavalry Academy, Sima, in the past ten years, he will go around and around, and he is still a small colonel in charge of hundreds of soldiers. All of this is because of Dazai-sama's generous gift to so-and-so! ”

Wei Qian was silent.

"Rong Hui, don't be rude to Lord Wei. You, how dare you be so presumptuous! Get out of the house now! Sima Yao said angrily.

Rong Hui smiled at him silently, as if mocking or friendly: "Great King, my subordinates have been ordered to come here to capture the traitors of the Wei clan. You want me to quit? If they hurt you, you will die. Moreover, once these subordinate generals lack restraint, they don't know what they will do to damage the prestige of the king. It's really for your good that your subordinates stay here! ”

Sima Yao was at a loss and speechless. What he couldn't understand even more was why the Chinese army general selected by the Qishe people had a long-standing grudge with Wei Qiang.

It's also too ......

Rong Hui looked up to the sky and laughed, and a frightened child suddenly cried. He heard the cry and looked over there with interest.

Wei Qian's face changed slightly, "Rong Hui, this is a grudge between you and me." Woe to my family, you come at me! ”

Rong Hui turned his head and smiled lightly: "In the past, Kong Wenju's second son still knew that there were eggs under the nest. Can't the Taibao figure it out? ”

Sima Yao clenched his fists and shouted at Rong Hui: "Rong Sima, there is a widow here, I will never allow you to mess around!" ”

……

Linhai Hou Pei Kai finished reading a dossier of Jingzhou's customs and put it on the table. Pei Kai was the newly appointed general of Pingnan and the military governor of Jingzhou.

The reason why he chose to go out of Beijing was naturally to avoid trouble. Sima Liang and Sima Wei are constantly fighting, and Luoyang is really not a safe place. And before Sima Liang appointed him as a lieutenant in the Northern Army, he was also a thorn in Sima Wei's eye. In addition, he has an in-law relationship with Sima Liang and Wei Qiang.

The situation was so difficult that he had to hide.

At this moment, there was a sudden commotion outside the silent door. Pei Kai walked to the door with his hands in his hand, and a small figure broke in recklessly, "Uncle Pei, there is a change in the city, please help me!" ”

Pei Kai hurriedly supported him, and looked at it, it was Sima Yi, the youngest son of King Runan, "County Lord, don't be in a hurry, speak slowly." What happened in the city? ”

At this time, Ma Yi of the Xiyang County Company was only eight years old, but what he said was clear: "Not long ago, the army of the King of Chu moved everywhere and surrounded my house. Now, I don't know what's going on in the city. ”

When Pei Kai heard this, he was shocked, "What does King Chu mean?" ”

He grabbed Sima Yi's small hand, "It's not safe here, the king of Chu has a gap with me, we have to leave quickly." ”

When Sima Yi saw Pei Kai, he could be regarded as relying on him, but he still asked the question in his heart: "Uncle Pei, where are we going?" ”

"Let's go into the inner city." Pei Kai gritted his teeth and said stiffly.

……

Luoyang is in chaos, and Shunyang is not peaceful.

That night, Zheng Sheng had just fallen asleep, and in a hazy consciousness, he heard a commotion outside.

Immediately, Zheng Sheng suddenly woke up. Quickly dressing and running out of the door, he saw the bright light of the fire in the northeast direction, and heard the faint sound of "walking water" and exclamation.

Zheng Sheng frowned and looked at the night sky. The location of the fire was presumably the new station of the Tiger Guard Battalion, which is still uninhabited. Except for those who live here, they go there every day to exercise, and there are even few people on track.

How can there be a fire there? Zheng Sheng was puzzled.

Looking at the firelight in the sky, Zheng Sheng had a little bad premonition. There were newly built camps, a wooden bridge, and a few small warehouses built on either side of the river that served as transit points.

It's strange that the fire burned so fast and so big.

After all, not only is there a night guard to take care of it, but there are also plenty of people to guard the warehouse.

It couldn't have been a natural fire or an accidental fire, Zheng Sheng couldn't help but judge. So how did this fire start?

Liu Wei'er, Qing'er, Wan Yun, Wang Jun, etc., everyone was obviously awakened by the fire and quickly gathered.

Zheng Sheng picked up a wooden stick, "The family who patrols the night should already be fighting the fire." Still, I'd like to go over and check it out. Wang Jun and Wan Yun, you take half of the people to stay and protect everyone. Zheng Yu, Zheng Shang, Xie Siyi, Zheng Bi'an, Liu Bide, Huo Junyu, you come with me. ”

Wen Xiaoting on the side suddenly stood up: "I'm going too!" ”

Qing'er then coaxed: "I'll go too." ”

Zheng Sheng waved his hand irritably: "Don't make trouble, the women are all here." ”

Zheng Sheng took six teenagers with sticks and walked in the direction of the firelight.

This section of the Beixi River runs north-south, and the Qingzhu Academy and camp are on the west bank. Zheng Sheng led everyone along the road on the riverbank every day, and walked north in the dark.

Halfway through, they suddenly bumped into several shadows with mysterious whereabouts, and at this time, they were bending down and sneaking south. If it weren't for the light of the fire in the north, it would have been difficult to find their traces in the middle of the night on this black-lit moon.

Sure enough, there was a ghost, Zheng Sheng raised the wooden stick in his hand and ordered: "The one in front is a thief, fight!" ”

Zheng Sheng took the lead, rushed up and hit the head of the person in front of him.

These people didn't expect that in the middle of the night, at the third watch, people would suddenly come out and stick to them.

Before the beaten person had time to scold, Zheng Shang and the others, who were following Zheng Sheng, also brandished a stick and began to beat the others.

Zheng Sheng, under the words and deeds of Bu Bo, also has a little understanding of how to beat people. He knows how to fight, and he can beat people to a painful point without leaving any hidden dangers.

After a while, these four or five young and strong men were all knocked to the ground by Zheng Sheng, wailing in pain.

Zheng Sheng grabbed the placket of the man who was knocked over by him with a stick at the beginning, and asked sharply: "You thieves, what are you here for?" Want to steal my stuff? ”

The man seemed to be frightened by Zheng Sheng, and he shook his head in shock: "No, no, we are not thieves, and we didn't want to steal." Little master, you can't wronged the villain. ”
