On the second day after witnessing King Chen Liu's entry into the city, Zhao Yue came to Liu Zheng's house to practice as usual.

Liu Zheng told Zhao Yue that Dong Zhuo would convene the princes and ministers of the Quartet in the Luoyang Palace five days later, and he would also pick a few people to be responsible for the guards.

Zhao Yue asked in some surprise: "Brother Liu, I don't think it's right, since I came to Luoyang, the life of our Han soldiers is to eat and sleep, sleep and eat." And this meeting must be very important, how can we be asked to guard the Han army? ”

Liu Zheng was arranging his battle robe, and when he heard this, he put down his helmet, walked to Zhao Yue's side, and said, "You don't know, according to the order I received, I need to take two people to stand outside the hall, and the guards in the hall are still in charge of Dong Zhuo's personal leadership." ”

After speaking, Liu Zheng continued to sort out his clothes, but Zhao Yue was puzzled.

In fact, the discussion in the palace five days later was about abolishing the Han Shao Emperor Liu Wei and appointing Liu Xie, the king of Chen Liu, as the emperor.

Dong Zhuo wrote in his name this time and recruited the princes of the Quartet, such as Ding Yuan, the assassin of Yanzhou, Liu Dai, and so on. In addition, many officials in the DPRK and China were also invited, such as Cao Cao, Yuan Shao and others.

Because this deliberation is related to the country's capital and is not an ordinary trivial matter, Dong Zhuo asked all his subordinates to be more considerate in terms of details.

It just so happened that there was an unknown strategist under Dong Zhuo, surnamed Jia, with a name and words. He advised Dong Zhuo that he could put the untrained Han soldiers outside the palace, and the brave and warlike Dong soldiers in the palace, so that the strength and weakness of the Dong army and the Han army would be separated. When the princes from other places saw it, they also knew that the days of the Han Dynasty were coming to an end, and the general trend was attributed to the Dong family, and no one dared to obey Dong Zhuo's orders.

Dong Zhuo adopted Jia Xu's suggestion, and then issued the order to let Liu Zheng, the marquis of the Han army, lead people to guard the outside of the palace.

In the small courtyard of Liu Zheng's house, Zhao Yue finished performing a set of swordsmanship, tired and panting, leaning against the eaves to rest, it was summer, such a high-intensity training, Zhao Yue sweated, but his heart was very satisfied.

Liu Zheng poured a glass of water from the house, came out and handed it to Zhao Yue, and then said: "I see that you have been training very hard in the past few days, and you are very smart, so you are making rapid progress, and this level is already very good." On the battlefield, even if you can't be invincible, it's enough to protect yourself. ”

Zhao Yue wiped a handful of sweat, put the iron sword on the ground, knelt on the ground, and thanked: "Thank you Lord Junhou for your careful teachings these days, Zhao Yue is grateful!" ”

Liu Zheng smiled with relief, helped Zhao Yue up, and said to him: "From tomorrow to the day of the discussion, you can not use it, I need to make some preparations, you can rest for a few days." As for the person you said about a person named Cao Ping, well, I will order the two of you to guard outside the palace with me that day. ”

"Yes!" Zhao Yue replied loudly, then said goodbye to Liu Zheng and left happily.

Back at the barracks, before entering the house, Zhao Yue saw Cao Ping getting together with a group of Han soldiers, I don't know what they were talking about, in short, they were chatting enthusiastically.

These days, Zhao Yue rarely returns to the barn, and when she comes back, she is tired and falls asleep. He had no idea that during this time, Cao Ping had become a very popular figure in the barnhouse. It's just that the Han army has nothing to do, and when they are full every day, they are left to sleep, so everyone is idle and worried. But Cao Ping was ingenious, he no longer fiddled with those flowers and plants all day long, but gathered everyone together to chat.

Cao Ping told everyone what he saw and heard when he was in his hometown, which was also wonderful, and everyone applauded again and again, and applauded continuously.

At the moment, Cao Ping was telling everyone about the strange news of Hebei, and when he turned his head, he saw that Zhao Yue was back, and he hurriedly said to everyone: "Brothers, let's come here today, let's talk another day." ”

In the voice of regret from everyone, Cao Ping squeezed out of the crowd, came to Zhao Yue's side, and said with concern and a little dissatisfaction: "Brother Changjiao, you are really busy, you go out early and return late every day, why did you come back so early today?" ”

With a smile, Zhao Yue didn't answer in a hurry, but entered the house with Cao Ping, sat down, and then said patiently: "Do you think I go out to play all day?" Good news for you, I've got a good job for your kid. ”

When Cao Ping heard this, his eyes lit up, and he jumped to the door at once, looking nervously outside, for fear that this errand would be known by other soldiers. After he made sure that no one was eavesdropping, he closed the door and asked flatteringly, "Brother Changjiao, what is a good errand?" I knew you wouldn't forget me. ”

Zhao Yue then told Cao Ping about entering the Luoyang Palace to guard the outer hall five days later.

After Cao Ping heard this, he cheered. He has grown so big, I have heard many people boast about the palace of Luoyang City, but I haven't seen those people really go in, and now he is actually going to enter the Luoyang Palace. You know, that's where the emperor is, and those who can haunt it are not big officials, but also generals.

Not to mention, their escort mission was during the deliberations, and Cao Ping knew that during the deliberations, maybe there would be many princes who would come.

Maybe he'll be able to see the Emperor again!

Zhao Yue saw that Cao Ping was so excited, and shook her head helplessly.

He lay down on the bed, fell asleep, and slept until daylight the next day.

After opening her eyes, the first thing Zhao Yue did was to see if Cao Ping was in bed. To his surprise, Cao Ping, who had always liked to sleep lazy, did not lie in bed and snore that morning.

Zhao Yue didn't know what evil this kid had fallen into, and she didn't know where this kid had gone so early? He could only put on his clothes first, and planned to go out to practice in the woods next to the barracks, and then wash his face.

Liu Zheng once said to Zhao Yue that the plan of the day lies in the morning, and it is best for those who practice martial arts to move their bodies in the morning. Zhao Yue can barely be regarded as a martial arts practitioner at present. Thinking of this, Zhao Yue couldn't help the joy in her heart and smiled embarrassedly.

But as soon as he opened the door, he was startled by this martial arts practitioner, and he found that there was a person standing upside down next to the door!

"Cao Ping? What are you doing? Zhao Yue carefully identified the upside-down face, and after confirming that it was the kid in the same room as him, she covered her violently beating heart and asked anxiously.

Cao Ping saw that Zhao Yue woke up, fell to the ground all of a sudden, stood up, carefully patted the soil on his body, and then said confidently: "Brother Changjiao, didn't you say that you would take me to the Luoyang Palace as a guard in a few days?" ”

Zhao Yue was full of doubts, he did say this, but what does this have to do with handstands?

I saw Cao Ping gritting his teeth and continued: "I think, what if someone wants to break into the palace while I am guarding?" I'll have to practice my skills before I can beat him. ”

Zhao Yue couldn't cry or laugh, although he didn't know what Dong Zhuo was discussing with the Manchu Dynasty civil and military this time, but he felt that since he was sitting in the hall to discuss, there would definitely be no scene of rebellion, and the so-called guard should just be a symbol.

However, Cao Ping's kid is really interesting, from him, Zhao Yue can find a lot of fun that makes him happy every day.

Zhao Yue smiled and asked Cao Ping to continue his "exercise" while he came to the stream in the woods to wash his face.

This forest is next to the barracks, and further to the west, there will be a straight official road, the official road leads directly to Tongguan, and Tongguan further west, is Chang'an City.

Zhao Yue took a handful of water from the stream and threw it on her face, and a cool feeling instantly spread to the bottom of her heart, which was very comfortable. Surrounded by birds chirping in the morning and the green leaves exuding a fresh smell, the early morning in the forest is very pleasant.

Zhao Yue heard Liu Zheng say that Chang'an City was the imperial capital of the Western Han Dynasty, and its prosperity was no less than that of Luoyang, the eastern capital, and not far west of Chang'an City was Xianyang, the capital of the Qin Dynasty.

In the Qin Dynasty, Xianyang was also one of the best metropolises, but after hundreds of years in the Han Dynasty, the capital was set in Chang'an or Luoyang, and Xianyang declined a lot. To this day, there is only a huge castle in the sky, and the population and wealth are about the same as those of his hometown of Kunyang.

Zhao Yue washed her face, shook her hand, and was about to leave the woods, but suddenly heard the sound of horses neighing in the forest, as well as the sound of wolves howling, these two sounds mixed together, piercing through the woods in the early morning, startling the birds all the way, giving people a very terrifying feeling.

Zhao Yue had lived here for so long, and for the first time he knew that there were wolves in this wood, he couldn't help but stand up and listen.

I heard that the wolf barked fiercely at first, but for some reason, the more it barked, the quieter it became, and finally it even let out a miserable scream.

Zhao Yue was shocked, the wolf's scream was so terrible, it must have been hit hard, I don't know who it was, or what it was, it could fight the evil wolf and make him make such a painful sound!

Hearing the wolf's scream gradually disappear, Zhao Yue was about to run back to the barracks quickly, calling everyone to come together to see what was going on. Before he could run away, he saw one of the Lin Ying riding a horse towards this side, getting closer and closer, and finally he was only a hundred paces away from him.

Zhao Yue saw that the man was wearing exquisite armor, with a copper tiger head inlaid on his shoulders, a treasure belt around his waist, and a helmet that was also shining in the sun, and there were two long pheasant tails fluttering behind him, and the black horse under his crotch was like flying.

"What a heroic hero!"

Zhao Yue couldn't help but scream, thinking that he had seen so many soldiers and generals, the outfit of this person in front of him was the best among them. While admiring, he noticed the only deficiency in the man, which was that he had stepped on a stirrup with his left foot and was not wearing shoes.

When the man got closer, Zhao Yue found that he had a wound from his left calf to the left corner, which was still bleeding at this time, and there were several blood stains on his armor.

The man gradually slowed down the speed of the black horse, came to Zhao Yue's side, jumped down, and threw the weapon aside.

Zhao Yue saw that the weapon was very long, a foot long, and when she heard the sound of it falling to the ground, it was like a thunderstorm, startling a burst of smoke and dust, but I was afraid that the weight was not small. However, the style of this weapon, Zhao Yue has never seen, some of it is like the halberd used by soldiers in the army during training, but it has some more parts than the halberd.

Zhao Yue thought about his kung fu, the man led the horse, his left foot did not dare to land, his right foot jumped over, his hands clenched into fists, and introduced himself: "In Xia Lu Bu, the word Fengxian, and the state military attaché, polite!" ”

"I am from Yingchuan County, Yuzhou, surnamed Zhao, named Yue, and the word Changjiao." Zhao Yue subconsciously hugged her fist, which was considered a return gift, and then looked this person up and down.

He saw that although Lu Bu was seriously injured, his face was as usual, as if he was fine, and he couldn't help but admire him a little more. Hurriedly said with concern: "This big brother, I see that your left foot is bleeding nonstop, why don't you help you bandage it?" ”

When Lu Bu heard this, he sat on the ground with a "poof", as if he was very tired, and took a few breaths, and then said to Zhao Yue: "Changjiao is really kind-hearted, thank you so first, it's just that you know medical skills?" ”

Seeing that he did not refuse, Zhao Yue took out the cloth towel he carried with him to wipe his sweat during the exercise, and put it in the water to wash it, and said: "Although I don't know how to use medicine, I have been in the village since I was a child, and occasionally go up the mountain to collect medicine, I will hurt myself, and I know how to deal with it." ”

Zhao Yue said while wiping Lu Bu's wound with a moistened cloth towel, and after the blood stains were wiped off, Zhao Yue was surprised to find that Lu Bu's wound was not an ordinary abrasion and fall, but was injured by a fierce beast!

Could it be that it was Lu Bu who was fighting with the evil wolf just now?!
