Tai Shi Ci, the word Ziyi, a native of Donglai Huang County, is skilled in arches and horses, and is accessible by land and water. At first, he was a small official, and later fled to Liaodong because he offended the state and county families. Later, in order to relieve the trap of Kong Rong Beihai, he single-handedly broke through to find Liu Bei to borrow troops, and then defected to his fellow villager Liu Xuan, and was surrendered by Sun Ce.

After Sun Quan became unified, because Tai Shi Ci was able to control Liu Pan, he entrusted him with the important task of managing the south. In the eleventh year of Jian'an, Tai Shici passed away, and before he died, he cried bitterly: "When my husband is alive, he should bring a three-foot sword to ascend to the rank of the son of heaven." I didn't follow my will today, but I died! ”

Pei Ling had tears in his eyes, sure enough, Huang Tian lived up to it, this trip out, before he arrived at the destination, he accepted an all-round general, which was definitely worth the money.

When several people saw Pei Ling staring at Tai Shici with a wistful expression, they couldn't help but tremble in their hearts.

The sun rises and the moon sets, in the blink of an eye for three days, the boat finally entered Sili Luoyang, Pei Ling was also freed from the fatigue of the visual senses, although at the beginning of the big river, the misty scene on both sides of the river is very magnificent, but it is still boring to look at it for a few days.

Moreover, at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, due to the frequent diversion of the Yellow River, the floods were serious, so the water flow was relatively turbulent, the boats were bumpy, and the boaters naturally did not feel good, especially the seasick Wu Anguo, after a few times of vomiting, his clothes were one size bigger.

Everyone felt relaxed after getting off the boat, even Tai Shici was no exception. After many days of fatigue, everyone rushed to Luoyang, but they were told that except for the people in Luoyang City and those who were on urgent business, the rest of the people were not allowed to enter the city.

It turns out that the city of Luoyang is not very peaceful recently, after the death of Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty, the eldest son Liu Wei succeeded to the emperor, his biological mother Empress Dowager He listened to the government, relatives and eunuchs each had ghosts, the struggle was becoming more and more serious, implicated by this, there must be the general He Jin's personal handwriting to clear the customs documents, before entering the city.

Everyone had to transcribe the letter, send it into the city, inform Kong Rong, and find a way to enter the city, and Pei Ling saw that the situation was serious, and he was afraid that Zhou Cang would make a mistake, so that when the sky was dark, he lurked in Luoshui.

At this time, the sky has entered autumn, the night wind is getting colder and colder, and the whistling wind whistles the water and grass blowing back and forth, adding to the feeling of depression.

Pei Ling swam out of the water for a few miles in one breath, only to feel that his chest was bored, his legs were weak, and suddenly, there seemed to be a shout of killing coming from An!

"The castration thief Zhang let Hugh go, chase...!"

Pei Ling's condition was unknown, and he couldn't be stupid here, so he had to put the reed pole in his mouth, lean over and escape into the water, lie down on the side of the road, only to hear someone not far from him deliberately lower his voice, and sobbed: "The old slave is not a person who holds the master hostage, and he killed He Jin only to protect himself, and now I have no hope of life, so I have to kill myself, and go to serve the first emperor under the nine springs, Your Majesty, please return to the palace... Belch! ”

"Your Majesty?" Pei Ling was surprised in his heart, and he only heard the sound of "'plop', a person dressed as a eunuch had blood on his neck and spun down in the river, and there were two children, one big and one small, lying in the grass on the bank, not knowing what was wrong!"

'Boom boom! The earth trembled slightly, a group of cavalry rode by, there were thousands of people, Pei Ling had been in the army for decades, and naturally knew the killing of the army, so he did not dare to slack off, and tried his best to hide his figure.

The thunderstorm did not stop tonight, the sky was full of clouds, the stars and moon were incomprehensible, and it was difficult to see the five fingers in the suburbs.

After a long time, Pei Ling attached his ears to the ground, and the sound of horses' hooves on the official road was dispersed, before he dared to show his head, and his heart became more and more suspicious, and suddenly the sound of crying came from the hidden place of the second child, and a crisp and immature voice was undecided: "Brother Huang, the chasing soldiers have gone away, we can't stay here for a long time, let's leave quickly and find another way to live!" ”

In the dark night, the second boy was also difficult to see, and the young man who was called the imperial brother became more and more anxious in his heart, and reproached: "The army just passed by, why didn't we come out to recognize each other, at this time the sky was already dark, and I didn't know the way, but how to do it?" ”

Hearing this, the first boy retorted: "All the parties are chaotic troops, who knows whether they are friends or enemies, if they mistakenly identify the villains and arrest you, the son of the Han Dynasty, then pay it back?" ”

Pei Ling listened to the conversation between the two children, but his heartbeat had already been thinking about it a few times! These two children are not outsiders, they must be Liu Wei, the young emperor of the Han Dynasty, and Liu Xie, the king of Chen Liu, who are the future Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty. The person who threw himself into the river must be the head of the ten permanent servants who dragged the second emperor out of the palace, the marquis Zhang Rang!

In this way, He Jin must have been cut in two, and Yuan Shao and Cao Cao should be killing eunuchs in the palace!

And that jackal Dong Zhuo is afraid that he is already on the road not far from Luoyang at this time! There must be the 200,000 Xiliang army behind him!

At this time, the thunder has subsided, the night is silent, the imperial city is really as Pei Ling guessed, there is a mess, the general He Jin has been booby-trapped by the eunuchs, and the bureaucratic family Yuan Shao and others have killed the eunuchs. Although the rebellion of the Ten Standing Servants has reached the point of defeat, it has led to the Han Emperor being held hostage by the hands of powerful ministers, and the Eastern Han Dynasty exists in name only!

The two most noble teenagers of the Han Dynasty were shirtless and barefoot, walking along the river in the moonlight, embarrassed, hungry and cold, how could they have the heart to notice that there was a person hiding under the water not far away?

Pei Ling knew that one of them was the son of the Han Dynasty, and he didn't dare to slack off, he braked his belt twice, and he was shirtless, and he fell behind the second child and followed!

The identity of the second child is respectful, He has traveled at night, stumbled, walked and stopped, only walked two or three miles in half an hour, there happened to be a haystack next to it, the two were tired and cold, and plunged into the haystack, wanting to hide here.

Pei Ling was thinking about whether to show up, and a few bright lights flashed not far away, and a few people came with torches, and they bumped into the second child on the grass.

"Your Majesty and King Chen Liuliu are here, hurry up, hold it quickly!" A white-faced bearded old eunuch came out of the crowd, took the Han Emperor captive, and wanted to flee south!

"Duan Jue! Let go of me, I want to go back to the palace! Zhang Rang has thrown himself into the river and died, so you are about to descend! "Emperor Han Shaodi is now sleepy, hungry, and depressed, and he is about to be unable to bear it, so he makes a lot of noise.

The old eunuch Duan Jue is also jumping off the wall in a hurry now, and he said sharply: "Shut up!" If you go back to the capital, the old slave will inevitably die, come with me, or you will be strangled! ”

Pei Ling saw that a few people were making a commotion, Duan Qi really grabbed Liu Yan's neck, couldn't help but be dumbfounded, and said in his heart: "This group of eunuchs is so rampant? Seeing that the old eunuch was getting harder and harder, Pei Ling couldn't hide it, jumped out, stretched out his leg and kicked under the old eunuch's ribs!

The old eunuch was in pain under his ribs, snorted, let go of his hand, Pei Ling fished the young emperor over, put it on the ground, in order not to let the emperor know that he had been following him, he turned his head and asked: "Who are these two teenagers, you actually did this to a child!" ”

The Han Emperor had an ordinary face, a cowardly and timid temperament, but he didn't dare to answer, and King Chen Liuwang on the haystack hurriedly said: "This is the current emperor, I am the emperor's brother Chen Liuwang, who is now being captured by eunuchs here, and I will rescue the strong man, I will not hesitate to thank you!" ”

Pei Ling saw that he had revealed his identity, but he was a little less restrained, so he nodded, turned to face Duan Jue, and said in a deep voice: "Capturing the Son of Heaven, it's a big rebellion, I won't embarrass you, retreat quickly!" ”

Duan Jue was kicked by Pei Ling, and at this time he was relieved a little, he laughed wildly when he heard the words, pulled out a simple knife from behind his waist, and shouted angrily: "Where did the wild cat come out, don't be ashamed, children, hack me to death!" ”

Pei Ling's eyes flashed, and he approached him, pointed into a knife, and stabbed at the handle of the old eunuch's knife!

Seeing that this young man had a weak face, how could he have thought that he had such a vigorous skill, he only felt that there was a huge force in his hand, and Pu Dao instantly broke away from his grasp and flew out!

There was a eunuch next to him who was brave and brave, and waved his knife to look at Pei Ling's chest, Pei Ling had already seen his movements in his eyes, he reached out and scooped Duan Jue's Pu knife in his hand, and took advantage of the situation to split it with his backhand, right in the neck of the eunuch, and actually split him into two with his head and shoulders!

The eunuch's corpse was divided into two sections, and the black blood was splashed wildly, spraying Duan Jue's face all over his body!

Duan Jue screamed in fright and retreated, his face was pale, and he felt that his urine was about to flow out, and the remaining few were some little eunuchs who fled with him, and they all stood in two groups when they saw this, not daring to step forward!

As one of the ten permanent servants, Duan Jue has been a eunuch for half his life, his eyesight is not comparable to ordinary people, this person is ruthless and calm, he is by no means an ordinary murderer, he can only grit his teeth and stomp his feet repeatedly, and turn around and escape! ”

Now that the eunuchs were no longer looking for anyone, but only to flee for their lives, they extinguished all the torches, fled across the river, and disappeared into the night in an instant.

Pei Ling frightened everyone away, turned to look at Liu Bian, and arched his hand: "Your Majesty, now that the steps outside the city are dangerous, it is not appropriate to walk around, it is better to hide in the haystack, it will be one night, and someone will come to find you tomorrow." ”

Emperor Liu of the Han Dynasty saw that Pei Ling had a beautiful face and did not look like a villain, so he also put some of his mind at ease, but he just said nothing.

Chen Liuwang replied: "In this way, thanks to the strong man, if you can return safely, there will be a reward!" ”

Seeing his appearance as a little adult, Pei Ling smiled, nodded, and placed the two of them well, and then lay on the haystack to sentry.

After a while, there was no movement around, and the two children under the haystack also ran around for a long time, worried about it, at this time there was already a faint snoring sound, Pei Ling squatted next to the haystack, his thoughts were churning, how could he have the heart to rest.

At this time, half of the night has passed, and the dark clouds have gradually disappeared, revealing the stars behind the clouds, Pei Ling raised his head to look at the night sky, and secretly thought to himself: "Look at this little emperor's down-and-out appearance, the power has long been lost, and it is not uncommon for the Han Dynasty to die!" Pei Ling sighed: "I wanted to take Zhou Cang and then instruct Wu Anguo to leave, but I didn't think it would be a mess." ’

'That's it! Pei Ling turned over and said with a wry smile: "Now that I have met the little emperor, maybe it is still a big opportunity, but the matter has come to this point, whether it is a blessing or a curse has to be left to fate, and we will see you in the future." ’

Thinking of this, Pei Ling is no longer mediocre and self-disturbing, guarding all night, the sky is slightly hazy, and it is about to light up.

Pei Ling stretched his waist and looked at the morning light that was gradually rising in the east, his eyes were blazing, and his heart was secretly agitated!

The curtain of troubled times will eventually be opened!
