Under the moonlight, Zhang Rang took the only remaining more than 100 armor soldiers to carry Liu Wei and Liu Xie to the direction of Beibi Mountain, Zhao Zhong was unable to escape death this time, although Zhang Rang's heart hurt, but he knew that even if he killed back at this time, in addition to sending a few more lives, it would be useless, and at that time, he was enthusiastic and wanted to die together, and escaped at this moment, and the instinct to survive still made Zhang Rang instinctively want to escape.

He has already made up his mind in his heart, hiding in Beibi Mountain, this reckless mountain forest, even if he sends out the soldiers of Luoyang, he may not be able to find them, and after this period of limelight, he has the Son of Heaven in his hands, and there may not be no chance to turn the tables.

Seeing that the Beibi Mountain was about to arrive, a group of men and horses suddenly appeared on the official road in front of him, headed by a general, eight feet long, wearing a Confucian robe covered with leather armor, and there was no helmet on his head, but a crown of respect, not like a military general, but more like a soldier, wearing a sword at his waist, a nine-foot spear hanging on the horseback, and looking at the group with a smile: "Let Gong, it's been a long time." ”

Zhang Rang only felt a tingling on his scalp, if he saw this person a day ago, he would definitely be extremely excited, but at this moment, when he saw this person, his heart sank slowly.

"Ye Hou, it's so calculating!" Zhang Rang looked at Ye Zhao and said inexplicably.

Others don't understand, but Zhang Rang has been in officialdom for a long time, and he is used to seeing intrigues, so at this moment, how can he not understand Ye Zhao's thoughts.

After leaving Luoyang City, Zhang Rang gradually understood why Ye Zhao had been reluctant to intervene in the Luoyang dispute, even if Ye Zhao also had the opportunity to sit on the position of He Jin above 10,000 people under one person, Ye Zhao gave up very decisively.

It's not that Ye Zhao doesn't argue, but that Ye Zhao sees farther than him and Dong Zhuo.

Because Ye Zhao knows very well that even if he gets great power in this Luoyang City, it is all false, as long as he is out of this Luoyang City, neither he nor Ye Zhao has any ability to resist the scholars, if he holds the Son of Heaven and the government in his hands, it will be an embattled situation, the world is so big, there is no place for it.

Therefore, Ye Zhao chose to back down, let He Jin, and let the Shichang servants fight with the scholars, he was behind the scenes, Ye Zhao would spare no effort to help them give advice and help them fight against the scholars, but Ye Zhao would never stand in the front desk directly to fight with the scholars.

Even Zhang Rang can be sure that Ye Zhao sent Liu Xie's edict of succession to Dong Zhuo through himself, and transferred Dong Zhuo from Xiliang to Luoyang, which is also for this reason, Ye Zhao is unwilling to confront the family by himself, but he is unwilling to condescend to the family, he wants to break the situation, but he is unwilling to get involved, so Ye Zhao keeps sending new enemies to the scholars.

The Ten Standing Servants and He Jin were all Ye Zhao's pawns, but unfortunately they were all defeated, and from the moment the edict was sent to Dong Zhuo, he no longer had any use value for Ye Zhao.

And Dong Zhuo will be the target of Ye Zhaoxin's use.

From the beginning of Luoyang, Zhang Rang gradually figured out this truth, but unfortunately, he understood this truth too late, otherwise he would not have killed He Jin anyway, although the two sides seem to be hot and watery, but in fact, the two sides are a community of destiny, He Jin lived, and the ten permanent servants were not doing well, and they could survive for a long time, but as soon as He Jin died, the ten permanent servants wanted to master the military power of Luoyang, but it was delusional, because Liu Wei was not Liu Hong, and the status of the ten permanent servants in Liu Wei's heart was far less important than that of Liu Hong's period.

"Ye Qing, save me!" When Liu Wei saw Ye Zhao, a flash of joy flashed in his eyes.

"Your Majesty, rest assured, the minister is here, and no one will be embarrassed by Your Majesty." Ye Zhao sighed secretly in his heart, bowed to Liu Wei, and then looked at Zhang Rang and said: "Rang Gong, you and I are old acquaintances, Zhao Neng has today, and Rang Gong has also contributed a lot, at this moment, there is no way to retreat, let go of Your Majesty, and go to the Tiger Prison Pass from now on, Zhao guarantees that you are fine, as for the Tiger Prison Pass, then how about the destiny of each one?" ”

Zhang Rang looked at Ye Zhao, squinted his eyes and said, "Will you believe you again when I do?" ”

Not to mention the reputation of the Ten Standing Servants, just the crime of holding the Son of Heaven hostage today, as long as he kills him, it will be a great achievement, and he doesn't believe that Ye Zhao will let him go so easily.

Ye Zhao naturally knew what Zhang Rang was talking about, and shook his head with a smile and said: "Rang Gong, although Ye's hands are stained with blood, he never thinks he is a good person, but Ye Mou will do what he says!" Since he said to let you live, Ye will never break his word! ”

Zhang Rang stared at Ye Zhao deadly, Ye Zhao looked at it calmly, he really didn't have the intention of killing Zhang Rang, first, Zhang Rang's value has been gone from this moment on, to kill or not to kill, for Ye Zhao, it doesn't mean much, and besides, no matter what the reason, but Ye Zhao can have today, Zhang Rang has really contributed a lot in it, this feeling, Ye Zhao wants to return, as for the merits brought by Zhang Rang's life, Ye Zhao really doesn't value it much.

"Let Gong, I can guarantee that as long as you don't hurt me and Xie, I won't embarrass you again." Liu Wei spoke up at this moment.

"Your Majesty, the law cannot be abolished!" Ye Zhao raised his eyebrows, bowed to Liu Wei, and then looked at Zhang Rang and said: "At this moment, Fang let the public have a way to live, it is already the limit of what Zhao can do, but the state has national law, and after today, the imperial court will post a sea fishing document, I hope the public can understand." ”

"Ye Zhao, you want to ignore the life and death of the imperial brother!" Liu Xie, who was on the side, was shocked when he heard this, and pointed at Ye Zhao and scolded.

"Shut up!" Zhang Rang slapped Liu Xie's face with his backhand, this slap was extremely forceful, half of Liu Xie's cheeks were swollen, and the corners of his mouth were oozing blood, staring at Liu Xie coldly: "King Chen Liu, you are clever, don't show it in front of the old slave and Ye Hou, so as not to humiliate yourself!" ”

Ye Zhao glanced at Liu Xie, he had always heard that this kid was smart, but he was a little mean and cold, Liu Wei didn't like his younger brother very much, Ye Zhao had not been able to understand it before, but now he has a cognition, this sentence is tantamount to deliberately reminding Zhang Rang to kill, and this kid is bold and dares to fight, if Zhang Rang is in a hurry and kills Liu Wei, he is afraid that he will kill Zhang Rang immediately, so that Zhang Rang has no chance to kill Liu Xie, but this is very dangerous.

Although he is only seven years old, he seems to be a corner that cannot be ignored.

It's just that this little bit of caution, in front of him and Zhang Rang, is somewhat like a clown.

"Rang Gong, why did you beat him?" Liu Wei hurriedly hugged Liu Xie in his arms and looked at Zhang Rang puzzled.

"Your Majesty...... You are too naïve......" Zhang Rang glanced at Liu Wei speechlessly, sighed, let go of Liu Bian, and arched his hand to Ye Zhao: "Ye Hou, this game, it is the old slave who lost, and he lost convincingly, the old slave promised Ye Hou, but before leaving, there was still a wish, I hope that Ye Hou will be merciful and benevolent, and he will be able to protect him in the future and ensure that he is rich and prosperous in this life." ”

"Rest assured, Your Majesty...... is also the brother-in-law of the next. Ye Zhao glanced at Liu Wei and nodded silently.

"So the old slave took his leave." There was a faint sound of horses' hooves in the rear, thinking that the chasing soldiers had arrived, Zhang Rang kowtowed respectfully to Liu Wei and said: "Your Majesty, there are many offends today, and there is a responsibility for the previous emperor, today Your Majesty can spare the life of the old slave, but the old slave has nothing to repay, so I will leave, I hope Your Majesty will cherish it!" ”

At the time of Zhang Rang's kowtow, Liu Xie's eyes on the side suddenly flashed a cold color, and suddenly pulled out the short sword that Liu Bian was wearing from Liu Bian's waist, and stabbed it on Zhang Rang's body, this short sword is an ornament, the weight is insufficient, and there is no blade, and Liu Bian's personality is gentle, Zhang Rang did not remove it before, but if this sword is pierced on the person, it is enough to open a hole in the person, he is still young, the strength is not great, and the sword stabbed out is also inaccurate, but the ruthlessness is chilling.

"Bell~"

The sound of breaking through the air sounded, a short sword hit the blade, Liu Xie's mouth was numb, the sword flew out of his hand, covering his numb arm, and looked at Ye Zhao with an incredible expression.

"Ye Zhao, what are you doing!?" Liu Xie glared at Ye Zhao angrily.

"King Chen Liu's forgiveness." Ye Zhao slowly took back the small crossbow and said indifferently: "If a person has no faith, he will not stand, since the minister has promised to let him go, no one can hurt him before he gets out of the tiger prison." ”

Ye Zhao's spirit is keen, and it has strengthened over the years, every move within a radius of ten zhang cannot escape his perception, although Liu Xie's difficulty is sudden, how can he escape Ye Zhao's perception.

"The eunuch has brought disaster to the country and the people, and even kidnapped the royal brother and the king, what kind of faith do you tell him about such people!?" Liu Xie saw Zhang Rang slowly getting up, knowing that there was no chance, and glared at Ye Zhao angrily.

Zhang Rang stretched out his hand and wanted to hit him again, but was stopped by Liu Bian, Zhang Rang sighed helplessly, and had to give up.

"Xie, what Ye Qing said is right, people must be true to their words." Only then did Liu Wei look at Liu Xie and said solemnly.

Liu Xie is helpless, here, Liu Wei is the emperor, Ye Zhao holds the military power, but he is the only one, just a king of Chen Liu, even if he has the heart to take revenge, he can't take revenge, but in this heart, the yin is even more ruthless.

"Ye Hou, farewell!" The sound of horses' hooves in the rear was closer, and Zhang Rang knew that he really couldn't go if he didn't go, so he bowed to Ye Zhao, roared, and went straight to the direction of the Tiger Prison Pass with high hopes and the remaining armor soldiers.

Ye Zhao ordered one person, went to the Tiger Prison Pass to report the news, and asked Guan Hai to let them go.

"Your Majesty, please get on the frame, and the minister will escort Your Majesty back to the palace!" Ye Zhao bowed to Liu Wei and said.

"I'm tired of Ye Qing." Liu Wei nodded and pulled Liu Xie to the frame.

When Liu Xie passed by Ye Zhao, he glanced back at Ye Zhao, Ye Zhao turned his head and smiled slightly, which startled Liu Xie, feeling that all his thoughts were exposed in front of Ye Zhao, so he quickly turned his head and followed Liu Zhao obediently, not daring to look at Ye Zhao again.

"The thief is on the run!" In the distance, the sound of heavy horses' hooves sounded like muffled thunder, and a thunderous roar shook people's eardrums from afar.

"Array, prepare to meet the enemy!" Ye Zhao waved his hand, and the three thousand soldiers behind him quickly set up a formation and met the galloping cavalry.
