In the early morning of this day, the city gate of Luoyang was still the same as before, and the number of people entering and leaving the city was countless.

However, if the people in the past are careful, they will find that the guards at the gate of the city are slightly different from those guards a few years ago, the guards at the gate before were all local soldiers and horses in Luoyang, not to mention lazy, at least they will not be so strict, but now all the guards at the gate of the city are some fierce and vicious Xiliang soldiers, they have a strong breath on their bodies, and they act fiercely, and every pedestrian who passes by must be subject to their strict inspection.

At this moment, there was already a long queue of people leaving the city, and a huge carriage was located next to this carriage in the middle, and there were many family members.

At this moment an old man's head poked out of the carriage, he looked around, and then asked the groom, "What is the situation ahead?" ”

The groom held his calloused hands, clenched his fists at the old man, and a shrewd look flashed in his eyes: "Your Excellency, please rest assured, the master has arranged all this before leaving, although the general on duty at the city gate today seems to be Dong Zhuo's personal guard, but as long as we are careful, there should be no mistakes!" ”

Hearing this, the old man nodded, and looked around, on both sides of the carriage, although it seemed that all of them were their family members, but in fact, these family members were all people with special skills, and all of them were elites selected from the army.

After a while, when the carriage finally arrived and left the city, several Xiliang sergeants stopped the carriage, and then asked the groom, "Who are the people in the carriage, and where are you going out of the city?" What's in there? ”

As soon as the Xiliang sergeant said this, the old man poked his head out of the carriage with a smile, only to see him arch his hand to the Xiliang sergeant, and then said: "This military master is really hard, we are the Wei family in the north of the city, and now we are going to Jizhou to do business, as for the people and things in the car, in addition to the old man, there are some goods that will be sold, today we do have urgent matters, every delay for a moment, is a large loss of money, so I hope that the military master will be convenient!" ”

The old man gave the groom a look, and the groom quickly jumped off the horse, and then quietly touched a burden from his bosom and stuffed it into the sergeant's arms.

Needless to say, inside that package was actually a lot of money.

However, what the old man didn't expect was that although the sergeant had received the money, his nerves still did not relax at all, but instead showed a sneer at the old man: "Do you know that the more suspicious your behavior is, come here, search me what is in the car!" ”

When the old man heard this, he was stunned, he didn't expect these guys to be so greedy, and they didn't do anything after receiving money.

But these sergeants don't care about the old man so much, three or five soldiers with a tiger's back and a bear's waist directly climbed into the carriage, lifted the curtain, and the old man was pulled out of it directly by them, and then those soldiers stepped into the carriage and began to check the goods one by one, most of which were put in some dried meat, as well as grain, etc.

These soldiers came down to report, there were indeed no other people in the car, the Xiliang soldier nodded when he heard this, the old man also showed a smile, and then said to the Xiliang sergeant again: "Master, now we can go!" ”

Sergeant Xiliang accepted the money and didn't catch the old man and them in any way, so there was no reason to continue to stop the old man and the others, so he waved his hand and was ready to rest assured, but at this moment, this Xiliang soldier suddenly tightened his nerves, and he felt the wind whistling in his ears. A sound of breaking through the air was rapidly approaching it.

When the Xiliang sergeant reacted, he found that a dart was directly slashed in front of his eyes, and finally settled on the wall next to him, the Xiliang sergeant saw that the cold sweat flowed from here, the dart was only a few inches away from his head, which was clearly someone who wanted to kill him.

When this dart appeared, the defenders at the city gate immediately exploded, which was obviously someone who wanted to attack the city gate and attack the city gate.

However, this group of Xiliang sergeants had all followed Dong Zhuo to the battlefield, so they did not panic after feeling the danger, but reacted in time, only to see the Xiliang sergeant shouting: "Immediately block the city gate!" ”

The city gate of Luoyang was closed with a bang, and the people inside and outside were completely separated by a city gate, and the sergeants on the entire city tower immediately took their bows and arrows, took the weapons in their hands, and their eyes were full of vigilance.

And the old man, as well as his carriage, were all stopped in the city gate, as for the people who were still at the city gate and were about to leave the city, they were all startled when they saw this formation, and they scattered in all directions in a hurry, leaving only the old man and others standing in place, a little at a loss.

And these Xiliang sergeants looked around for a long time, but found that there was no one who started a riot as they imagined, so the question is, where did this dart come from, could it be that someone was playing a prank and deliberately tricking them?

Seeing this, the old man's eyes also set off a look of anxiety, and he once again said to the Xiliang soldier: "This military master, we are really in a hurry, see if you can open the city gate first and let me out!" ”

Sergeant Xiliang glanced at the old man, and before he could speak, suddenly a pair of soldiers with swords and armor hurriedly came in the distance, and when he saw this, Sergeant Xiliang immediately put all the defenders at the gate of the city on alert, and when the group of sergeants approached, they were immediately stopped by Sergeant Xiliang and others, and asked them why they came.

I saw that the group of soldiers who were running immediately took out a token from their arms and displayed it in front of Sergeant Xiliang and the others.

Sergeant Xiliang looked at it, and his expression immediately became respectful, these people seemed to be the personal guards of the Taishi.

I saw a personal soldier of Dong Zhuo stepped forward to look around, and then asked: "I can see a person about sixteen years old, seven feet tall, wearing a general's uniform!" ”

In fact, the person this personal guard said was none other than Cao Xing, Sergeant Xiliang and others heard this, glanced at each other, and all shook their heads.

And Dong Zhuo's personal guard took a look, and then someone around handed over a portrait, and the personal guard directly revealed the portrait, and asked again: "It's this person again, his name is Cao Xing, yesterday I was ordered by the Taishi to personally go out of the city to arrest him, but when he arrived in the city, he escaped by tricks, and threatened to be unfavorable to the Taishi, if you find out, this person will be arrested immediately, there must be no mistake!" ”

The defender from the door looked at Cao Xing's portrait, and then nodded slightly to this person, but at this moment, I don't know who yelled in the crowd behind.

"Cao Xing is hiding in that carriage!"

As soon as they heard this, the guards guarding the door and those Dong Zhuo's personal guards immediately became nervous, and they all looked at the most conspicuous carriage behind.

However, when the old man heard this, he immediately panicked, and God hurriedly walked to the carriage, waved his hand to the sergeants, and said, "Fellow soldiers, didn't you already search just now?" There's only cargo in my wagon, nothing else, and I don't know which bastard is there to talk about......"

The old man tried his best to explain, repeatedly reassuring that there was nothing in his carriage, but Dong Zhuo's personal guards didn't care so much, only to see the general who was the leader directly pulled out his knife and slowly approached the carriage.

Lifting the curtain, he really found that there was nothing in the carriage except for the goods, the old man breathed a sigh of relief again when he saw this, and said to the Dong Zhuo with a smile: "Master Jun, I said it a long time ago, we are doing serious business, and we will never harbor any wanted criminals, this time you should believe it!" ”

Although the old man swore by what he said, but just when Dong Zhuo's personal guard was about to jump out of the carriage, he suddenly moved his nerves, suddenly turned around and pulled away, and his own knife slashed at the wheel of the car, only to hear a click, one of the wheels of the car was broken like this, and then a big hole broke at the bottom of the carriage, and two people fell out of the hole directly.

Seeing that the Xiliang soldiers guarding the door here were all dumbfounded, what is the situation? Obviously, they had searched the carriage before and found nothing, but they didn't expect that there was a compartment at the bottom of the carriage, and there were two people hidden inside.

However, Dong Zhuo's personal guard didn't care so much when he saw this, since there was something to hide, then there must be a problem, he just wanted to drink and order the soldiers around him to catch the two people, but at this moment, a person flashed behind him, drew a short blade, and ended the life of this Dong Zhuo's personal guard with one sword.

The groom threw the body of Dong Zhuo's personal guard out of the carriage, and the old man quickly jumped into the carriage and shouted to the surrounding family members: "Protect the son, you must not let them do anything!" ”

The surrounding family members immediately took out of their arms, and those Xiliang sergeants did not dare to slack off when they saw this situation, and immediately rushed up with their weapons, and suddenly the city gate was in chaos.

And the old man and the others stopped in front of these Xiliang sergeants, and finally when the old man was killed and covered in blood and fell to the ground, he could see that the two people who escaped from the carriage had already disappeared into an alley, and at this moment, the general who was the assistant on the city tower also walked down, without saying a word, he pulled out his saber, and let the soldiers quickly chase in that direction, because he felt that one of the two people was very likely to be the Cao Xing that Dong Zhuo's personal guards said just now.

On this day, Luoyang City was even more unpeaceful, Dong Zhuo was even more furious in the palace, originally he wanted to give Cao Xuan a chance, so that Cao Xing consciously handed over the military power in his hands.

However, I didn't expect Cao Xing's slippery head to be so bold, and when he just entered Luoyang City, he tried his best to slip away, and now he doesn't know what to do.

And the incident at the gate of the city made him even more angry, if there was no problem in that carriage, why did these people desperately stop his soldiers from searching the car.

Dong Zhuo was furious and directly asked the talents under his command to find out these two things clearly, and from the carriage at the gate of the city, he really found out many clues.

Anyway, this matter is very involved, and there are many elements involved in it. Although he doesn't know what these families want to do, Dong Zhuo can also be sure that they are definitely planning something that is not good for him.

So Dong Zhuo didn't think about it, and directly let his army arrest all the people from these families and pull them to the entrance of the vegetable market to behead them.

And when Li Ru heard this, he was a little panicked, he wanted to intercede for these people, after all, there were too many people involved in this matter, but Dong Zhuo was angry, where could he listen to it, and with a wave of his hand, thousands of heads fell directly to the ground.
