Chapter 449: I'm not interested in the marquis
Lu Bu had been to the Xudu Palace before, and he also knew where Liu Xie lived, so as soon as his feet landed, he ran in the direction of the palace.
Seeing that he was about to rush to the gate of the dormitory, he saw a team of Cao Jun standing outside the door, with a bow and arrows aimed at the window of the dormitory.
Cao Jun's bowstring was not an ordinary arrow, but a flaming rocket.
Seeing this scene, Lu Bu burst out and rushed over at an accelerated speed.
Seeing that he was about to rush, he heard a shout from the side: "Lu Fengxian, your opponent is me!" ”
As he rushed forward, Lu Bu also turned his head and glanced in the direction where the shout was coming from.
He saw Xiahou Yuan rushing towards this side with a big sword and riding his horse.
Once fired, the arrows are likely to cause a fire in the dormitory.
From Cao Jun's move to set fire, Lu Bu judged that Liu Xie should be inside.
If it weren't for the emperor inside, Cao Jun would not have been in such a hurry to set fire.
They did this because they didn't want Lu Bu to get Liu Xie.
Rushing towards those archers, Lu Bu still had to watch out for Xiahou Yuan who came up from the side.
Wielding a big knife, Xiahou Yuan rushed towards Lu Bu, and he was about to kill him.
When he was only two or three steps away from Lu Bu, he suddenly let out a loud shout, and the big knife slashed down on the top of Lu Bu's head.
Lu Bu did not wield the Fang Tian Painting Halberd to block, but twisted his waist, and His Majesty slashed at the big knife above his head.
When Xiahou Yuan rode a horse and was about to rush past him, Lu Bu roared angrily, handed the halberd to his left hand, and punched the horse's head with a fist in his right hand.
If an ordinary person punches the horse's head, he won't be able to do anything about the horse.
But where can Lu Bu be an ordinary person, his fist hit the head of the mount under Xiahou Yuan's crotch, and the poor steed didn't even have time to neigh, he rolled and fell out, and died on the spot.
Xiahou Yuan's reaction on horseback was not slow, and when he found that the war horse was beaten to death by Lu Bu, he threw the big knife to the ground, and the whole person flew into the air, avoiding the fate of falling on the hard ground with the war horse.
If there was only Xiahou Yuan alone, even if he had a hundred lives, he would have already been explained here.
However, in order to rescue Liu Xie, Lu Bu couldn't take care of Xiahou Yuan, so he could only rush towards the row of Cao Jun with bows and arrows.
At the moment when he was about to rush, Cao Jun loosened his bowstring one after another, and the arrows flew to the window of the dormitory with a whistling arrow, and fell into the house with flames.
Killing behind this row of Cao Jun, how could Lu Bu let them have another chance to shoot a second arrow, the halberd danced, and dozens of Cao Jun were killed by him on the spot before they even had time to resist.
Xiahou Yuan, who was carrying a big knife and was about to take advantage of Lu Bu to slash and kill the archers, came forward to fight him, but before he could rush a few steps, he found that dozens of archers were actually swept away by Lu Bu in an instant.
He stopped with a stunned face, looking at Lu Bu who was carrying Fang Tian's halberd, Xiahou Yuan subconsciously swallowed his saliva.
"Don't get out of here!" glaring at him fiercely, Lu Bu shouted, "Are you waiting for me to kill you?" ”
was shouted by Lu Bu, and Xiahou Yuan came back to his senses.
Kill Liu Xie, he has no chance, anyway, he also set fire to the palace, if the puppet emperor is not lucky, it is likely to be burned to charcoal.
Even if he was lucky and was finally saved by Lu Bu, Xiahou Yuan had nothing to do about it.
Lu Bu is too strong, he has been fighting on the battlefield for many years, and Xiahou Yuan has never seen such a strong general.
In the inner courtyard of the palace, Tai Shici led the paratroopers to fight with the Cao army guarding the palace, and Lu Bu went to Liu Xie's bedroom alone, and saw a team of Cao soldiers shooting rockets into the palace.
Flames spread in the dormitory, and the cries of several men and women were heard from inside the room.
Judging from the voice, Lu Bu decided that one of these people was Liu Xie.
Liu Xie was still alive, and although the fire had already burned, Lu Bu still decided to rush into the dormitory and rescue Liu Xie.
He led his army to defeat Cao Cao, most of which was to extinguish Cao Cao's prestige and achieve a balance between him and Cao Cao's forces.
There are also some reasons, just for Liu Xie.
If Liu Xie is snatched to Pengcheng, from now on, the edicts issued by the Han royal family will be sent out from Pengcheng.
Although the heroes of the world have long disrespected the big men, they still have to give some face on the bright side.
After all, when the general trend of the world was not clear, except for Yuan Shu, the idiot, no one was willing to risk the crime of rebellion and openly make enemies of the Han royal family!
When Lu Bu rushed into the dormitory, the fire had already spread.
The dormitory was filled with fire and smoke.
The smoke echoed in the room, and it couldn't be dispersed, and it blinded people's eyes.
Lu Bu picked up the halberd and swept it towards the wall behind him.
The halberd swept over, and the solid wall was actually swept down by him, and the thick smoke in the room suddenly poured out from the collapsed place.
Although a lot of smoke poured out, the visibility in the dormitory was still poor.
erected the halberd and thrust it up, and the moment Lu Bu withdrew his hand, the roof also collapsed.
The smoke was all pointing upwards, the roof had collapsed, and a lot of smoke had come out of the broken hole, making the dormitory much more visible.
The smoke is not so thick, and it is no longer as choking as when he first rushed in, Lu Bu shouted at the top of his voice: "General Zuo Lu Bu came to the rescue, dare to ask where Your Majesty is?" ”
Lu Bu's shout fell, and Liu Xie's voice came from the corner of the room: "General Lu save me!" ”
Following the sound and rushing over, Lu Bu saw two people curled up in the corner.
The woman huddled in the corner of the wall is dead, she should have choked to death by the smoke, and the dying man is Liu Xie, whom he has to save this time.
As soon as he pulled Liu Xie up, Lu Bu carried him on his back and rushed out of the dormitory.
was rescued by Lu Bu, Liu Xie pointed to the dormitory and cried: "Queen! The queen is still inside! ”
"Your Majesty's side is the queen?" Lu Bu asked.
Liu Xie replied: "Exactly, the fire burned, the queen blocked me, I was not burned to death by the fire and smoked, General Lu is brave, go and save the queen!" ”
Liu Xie begged Lu Bu to save the queen, Lu Bu sighed and said to him: "I have seen it just now, the queen has long passed away......"
Liu Xie, who thought that Empress Fu was alive, got such a reply, which was no less than a lightning bolt slashing on the top of his head, splitting him into six gods without a master, and even the three souls walked away halfway.
After staring at Lu Bu in a daze for a while, Liu Xie suddenly covered his face and cried.
Although Liu Xie was rescued, Lu Bu knew that a steady stream of Cao troops was coming here.
didn't care about the courtesies of the monarchs and ministers, Lu Bu grabbed Liu Xie's neckline, lifted him up, put it on his back, and took him to Tai Shici and the paratrooper soldiers.
Being carried by Lu Bu, Liu Xie struggled on his back and shouted: "General Lu, put me down!" ”
"Your Majesty, don't mess around, the queen is dead." Lu Bu said: "The most important thing at the moment is to keep Your Majesty ...... thoughtful"
"I'm going to go down to the ground and kill people." Liu Xie, who was carried by Lu Bu, gritted his teeth and said: "Cao Cao deceived me, first killed my Concubine Dong, and now killed the queen. If I don't kill this thief with my own hands, I won't be able to get rid of the hatred in my heart! ”
When he said these words, Liu Xie gritted his teeth, but Lu Bu felt funny when he heard it.
has been a puppet emperor for so many years, and when he saw Cao Cao, it was like a timid mouse seeing a fierce cat.
After being bullied for so many years, he didn't dare to resist, and when he was rescued by Lu Bu, he shouted to kill Cao Cao.
Although he felt that Liu Xie was funny in his heart, Lu Bu didn't say anything, and handed him a long sword: "Your Majesty uses this sword to defend yourself, I am with a team of soldiers who fell from the sky and came to save Your Majesty, the entire Xudu City is full of Cao Cao's people, and Your Majesty has to follow me to defend the palace." ”
"General Lu hasn't broken through Xu Du yet?" Lu Bu said that he came from the sky to rescue the driver, but Liu Xie asked with a disappointed face.
"Not yet, but soon." Lu Bu said: "I learned that Cao Cao was trying to murder His Majesty, so I made such a deployment. I didn't feel comfortable if I asked someone else to come, so I came myself. Fortunately, I came in time and rescued Your Majesty, but it's a pity that the queen ......"
Speaking of the word queen, Lu Bu sighed with a sad face.
Liu Xie, who was crying so much that there was no human form just now, will calm down instead.
He said to Lu Bu: "General Lu is really a minister of the Great Han Dynasty, if it weren't for the general, I would have died in the hands of the Cao thief today, and the foundation of the Great Han Dynasty would have been destroyed in his hands." ”
"Your Majesty is the Ninety-Five, of course, Hong Fu Qitian." Lu Bu said: "Even if I don't come to help, someone else will come to help."
The palace was full of shouts of killing, and the paratroopers and Cao Jun who rushed into the palace had already killed in chaos. 、
Seeing that the momentum of the chaos was not easy to control, Lu Bu gave up looking for Tai Shici and took Liu Xie into a side hall.
After entering the side hall, the shouting and killing outside seemed to be quieter, Liu Xie breathed a sigh of relief and asked Lu Bu: "General Lu has made a meritorious contribution to saving the driver, how do you want me to reward him?" ”
Before he could completely get out of danger, Liu Xie actually put out the emperor's score, and Lu Bu suddenly understood Cao Cao a little.
The emperor in front of him changed his face too quickly, and when he was rescued, he cried and shouted to save the queen, and he didn't even mention it again.
Lu Bu saved him, and according to his previous courtesy in the face of Cao Cao, he should have thanked Lu Bu tremblingly.
But he put on a condescending posture and asked what reward Lu Bu wanted.
"I am a courtier of the Han Dynasty, and it is natural to rescue Your Majesty." Lu Bu said: "Your Majesty doesn't have to take it to heart, at the moment we are not out of danger, what reward does Your Majesty say, don't you think it's too early?" ”
"That's what General Lu said." What Lu Bu said was reasonable, and Liu Xie had to relax his attitude a little, and said to him: "As long as the general can protect me from Xuchang safely, I will make you a great general and lead the world's soldiers and horses!" ”
The cake given by Liu Xie is indeed not small, the general has a respected status and is in charge of the world's military power.
As a general, the military affairs of the entire Han Dynasty are in control, which can be said to be extremely honorable.
However, these honors are all owned by the former generals of the Han Dynasty, and now Liu Xie himself is a fallen emperor with no foundation, what is the value of his general?
"I don't want a general." Lu Bu said to Liu Xie: "Save Your Majesty, in fact, I want to ask Your Majesty for a knighthood." ”
"Knighthood?" Liu Xie was cold at first, and then suddenly, he said to Lu Bu: "Chu Hou is indeed a little smaller, or I will seal you a Central Plains Marquis!" ”
"It's still Hou!" Lu Bu shook his head with a contemptuous smile on the corner of his mouth: "If I don't want to be a marquis, what title does Your Majesty plan to give me?" ”
Lu Bu asked like this, he couldn't have made it clearer, he didn't want the title of Hou, what attracted him was just the king.
Looking at Lu Bu and Liu Xie in astonishment, he asked, "General Lu wants to be crowned king?" ”
"Does Your Majesty feel that my merits are not enough?" Lu Bu asked Liu Xie.
Liu Xie, who was still arrogant in front of Lu Bu just now, vaguely felt something.
He looked at Lu Bu in astonishment: "The general came to save me, could it be ......?"
"I don't want anything else." Lu Bu pursed his lips: "I just feel that Hou's title is ugly and can't be put on the stage, and I want to ask Your Majesty for the king's title." ”
Although Lu Bu's tone of voice was not very tough, Liu Xie felt that the person in front of him would never be easier to get along with than Cao Cao.
He subconsciously swallowed his saliva and said to Lu Bu: "General Lu really wants to be crowned king, how about I make you the king of Chu?" ”
"Done!" Lu Bu said: "The place where I entrench is the land of Wu Chu, and Pengcheng, the place of governance, was also the place where King Xiang was governed, so it is appropriate to make me the king of Chu." ”
"I'm going to give you an edict." Lu Bu was quite satisfied with the title of King of Chu, and Liu Xie immediately said: "Officially canonize General Lu as the King of Chu!" ”
"Your Majesty is here to give an edict, isn't it too child's play?" Lu Bu said: "There are only the two of us here, and Your Majesty has issued an edict, so only I know." In the future, I went out to tell the world that I was not the Marquis of Chu but the King of Chu, Your Majesty thought that how many people in the world would believe me? ”
"The edict is there, can it be fake?" Having already found that Lu Bu was not easy to provoke, Liu Xie's attitude suddenly softened, and his tone of voice was also a little humble, and he no longer had the condescending arrogance just now.
"In case someone else says that I forced His Majesty to issue an edict, how can I wash it clean?" Lu Bu smiled and said to Liu Xie: "If Your Majesty remembers my merits and feels that you don't want to be rewarded, then follow me out alive." When I go to Pengcheng, I will ask Your Majesty to issue an edict in front of everyone, proclaim to the whole world, and crown me as the king of Chu! ”
"The general can do whatever he wants." Lu Bu openly begged for the prince, and Liu Xie was already very uneasy in his heart.
Although the man in front of him did not bring soldiers, he himself was the number one fierce general in the world.
Don't talk about anything else, just talk about the fire, where would someone else dare to go in and save people?
Lu Bu just went in, not only did he go in, but he also poked out two big holes in the dormitory!
The hard walls and roofs were as fragile as tofu in front of him, and Liu Xie asked himself, in this world, he was afraid that he would never find a second person who could balance Lu Bu.
