Taking advantage of the fact that breakfast was not good, Liu Xie pulled the three brothers and sisters of Ma Chao, as well as Xiao Luozi and Yan'er, to find an open space, and then said: "Sister Yan'er, you come to teach us to practice martial arts." ”

Yan'er's martial arts value is 85, barely ranking as a first-class general, but she didn't know that there was a dragon and a crouching tiger hidden in these little kids, so she said: "Okay, then since I want to teach you martial arts, you have to learn from me well." ”

Yan Er said, let everyone line up to learn from her, and stood in front of her and played a set of punches, but Ma Chao sneered.

"Ah, what are you talking about?" Yan'er said angrily, "You say it again." ”

Ma Chao raised his head and said, "Why don't you say it a hundred times, I said that you are embroidered with fists!" ”

"You, you, you ......" Yan Er stomped his feet angrily, "Your Majesty, look, he dares to laugh at me as a teacher, how can I teach?" ”

Liu Xie smiled and said: "Sister Yan'er, don't be angry, this Meng Qi does have two hits." ”

Yan'er said: "Well, if I didn't look at him as a child, I would have taught him a lesson." ”

Ma Chao said: "The girl doesn't have to treat me as a child, let's just compare them." ”

Yan'er is 17 years old and has already developed into an adult, Ma Chao is only 14 years old, and boys are already later than girls, so although they are only three years younger than Yan'er, it can be clearly seen that the difference is far from being childish.

Yan'er said: "Ah, you kid is quite good, you initiated the challenge, don't blame me for bullying children." ”

"You just come," Ma Chao said, assuming a posture to face the battle.

Seeing that the two of them were going to fight, Liu Xie said: "Since it is a competition, then there must be a bet, Xiao Luozi, take five taels of silver, whoever wins the two of them will be who's own." You two have to stop at it, too. ”

When they heard that there was going to be a fight, they immediately gathered a lot of people to watch the children and women fight.

At the beginning of the game, Ma Chao took a pose and beckoned to Yan'er, Yan'er punched, Ma Chao dodged, avoided flexibly, flashed to Yan'er's side, and kicked behind Yan'er's knee, and Yan'er immediately fell to the ground.

Ma Chao defeated Yan'er with only one move, and everyone cheered in unison.

Yan'er sat on the ground and said angrily: "Hmph, you are cheating." ”

Regarding Yan'er's accusation, Ma Chao did not answer, but looked at her with a smile and did not speak.

Liu Xie said: "Sister Yan'er, you have to understand the truth that soldiers are not tired of cheating, do you also tell this truth to the other party when you are in battle against the enemy?" ”

Yan'er said: "Then if I lose, I just don't accept it, how can I lose to a child." ”

Liu Xie walked over and pulled her: "Get up, martial arts training is also about talent, Meng Qi was born to practice martial arts, you are not wronged if you lose to him." ”

Then he rewarded Ma Chao with the five taels of silver, Ma Chao took the silver and thanked him, he didn't think the silver was too small, after all, it was rewarded by the emperor.

Several generals on the side of the watch praised him, and Xu Huang said: "I can't see this kid, there are two times, come, I'll play with you." ”

Ma Chao said: "I can't beat you now, I don't play with you, and in three years, you will not be my opponent." ”

Xu Huang was not angry, and laughed: "I can't see it, this kid is quite crazy." ”

Liu Xiexin said, Ma Chao's words are really not bragging.

Unexpectedly, this Ma Chao was only 14 years old, and he was already skilled, and he wanted to find a better martial arts teacher for him, but it seemed that he was worrying about himself.

Liu Xie has also practiced martial arts since he was a child, and four years ago, he received Yan'er, seeing that she was born with brute strength, Liu Xie invited her a martial arts teacher and learned it himself.

It's just that Liu Xie's qualifications for martial arts training are too poor, no matter how hard he works, at most, he can only strengthen his body, and if he wants to go into battle to kill the enemy, it will be far from the same. But he is not discouraged, anyway, he is the emperor, and it is enough to have fierce generals and strategists to help him.

After eating, he continued on the road, along the way, Liu Xie had several friends to accompany him, and he was not bored, although he was the youngest in it. traveled all the way back to Luoyang.

When he was about to arrive in Luoyang, Wang Yun had already gone out of the city ten miles to greet him.

After the convergence, Wang Yun led the ministers, as well as many people who spontaneously came to greet him, knelt down and said: "Welcome Your Majesty to the triumphant return to the court!" ”

Liu Xie found a slightly higher place to stand on it, and said, "All Aiqing, please get up quickly, people, get up quickly, listen to me!" ”

The ministers and the people stood up.

Xiao Luozi handed him an iron horn, which was also ordered by Liu Xie to make it, but there was no circuit.

Liu Xie took the loudspeaker and said: "I have gone to Chang'an to pacify the rebellion of Dong Zhuo's remnants, killed the rebels Li Dao, Guo Yan, Zhang Ji and Fan Chou, and eliminated and reorganized the rebel army of 150,000!" A large amount of military rations and salaries have been seized, countless! Do you know, O people, that my expedition to the west was accompanied by burned houses, trampled crops, and corpses everywhere. Although I am young, I cannot be frightened by treachery, and I vow to exterminate this group of traitors and avenge the deaths of the people! ”

Liu Xie said with great emotion, and then said: "Do you know why I am telling you this? Now that the world is in turmoil, I am young, my soldiers are few and weak, and I have to pursue and suppress strong enemies, I do this to prove to you that your emperor is a great emperor, and this emperor will definitely revive the Han family and give you an unprecedented and powerful Han family! I promise you today that I will bring peace to the world and give you a peaceful and prosperous world! ”

Liu Xie's speech won the earth-shattering cheers of the people.

Due to the large number of people, Zhao Yun looked around and protected Liu Xie, for fear that something would happen.

After the speech, Liu Xie rode a horse, and because he was young, Yan Er still held him and rode together. The generals and Wang Yun and other people followed, and the army slowly entered the city.

On the way, Liu Xie asked: "Lao Wang, have there been any major incidents in the past few days when I am away?" ”

"Back to Your Majesty," Wang Yun said, "everything is relatively quiet, but there are a few things that must be reported to Your Majesty." ”

"Say."

Wang Yun said: "The first thing is that King Hongnong wrote an anti-poem, which was discovered by the soldiers who protected him. ”

After that, Wang Yun took out a yellow handkerchief and handed it to him, Liu Xie took it and looked at it, only to see that it was written:

The tender grass is green and smokey, and there are two flying swallows.

Luoshui is green, and strangers are envious.

Looking at the blue clouds in the distance, it is my old palace.

Who is loyal and righteous, and vents the grievances in my heart! (Note)

Liu Xie looked at it, and laughed secretly in his heart, in the original history, Dong Zhuo used this poem as a reason to order Li Ru to kill Liu Wei and Tang Concubine with poisonous wine.

Then he asked, "Lao Wang, what do you think?" ”

Wang Yun said: "King Hongnong has an anti-heart, and if he stays, it will become a disaster, so it is better to get rid of it." ”
