Wet Dragon Garden.

Under the night, Gao Gan and his party walked silently on the road of the Dragon Garden. The pace is not rushed, steady and powerful.

From time to time, a group of soldiers of the West Garden Army guarding the Dragon Garden would pass by them, but they didn't pay much attention to their group. This is because the high-ranking cadres are wearing the military uniforms of the Xiyuan Army as cover, and it is Chen Guo, the commander of the Xiyuan Army, who leads the way for them.

As Liu Wei's descendant troops, they also have the responsibility of guarding the Dragon Garden and protecting Liu Wei's safety, and the recruitment requirements of the Xiyuan Army are quite strict, one of which is "politically competent". Before enlisting in the army, it is not only necessary to do a survey on the background of the recruits, but also to receive patriotic ideological education from the military mentor who is loyal to the son of heaven, Liu Wei. To be able to rise to Baichang, the requirements are more stringent. In this almost leak-proof situation, Yuan Kui was able to bury such a nail, and there was also a lot of luck in it.

Chen Guo was originally the escort arranged by He Jin to enter the palace to protect Liu Wei, which can be regarded as He Jin's background. At first, he was not trusted by Liu Wei, and only gradually came out after He Jin's death. As the first group of people to join the Xiyuan Army, Chen Guo's performance in the army was good, his own martial arts were strong, and he was also very active in receiving the ideological education of his mentor, and finally rose to the position of Bai Chang after making some military achievements.

This soldier who was ostensibly loyal to Liu Wei was actually a spy arranged by Yuan Kui to be by Liu Bian's side, just like the Huangmen Chen Dynasty who was next to Liu Wei before.

After Chen Chao died, Chen Guo also bore a deep blood feud, because Chen Guo and Chen Chao were compatriots.

Chen Chao's death remains a mystery to this day, and Yuan Kui has never been able to find the truth despite repeated investigations. I just learned that the little yellow door who claimed to have killed Chen Chao actually looked for a leather whip before he died, and said that he was ordered by Chen Chao. However, when it came to Liu Wei's side, it became a small yellow door with the intention of stealing, and was broken by Chen Chao and killed in anger.

Time has passed, and the truth of the matter may be difficult to investigate, but what makes people suspect is that this must be inseparable from Liu Wei.

Chen Guo has always harbored hatred in his heart, so Yuan Kui was relieved to use him as an internal response to complete the final blow to Liu Wei tonight.

Under the cover of Chen Guo, Gao Gan and his party infiltrated the core area of the entire Maolong Garden almost without hindrance, that is, Liu Wei's residence, Zhutao Yashe and the surrounding area.

In the entire defense system of the Dragon Garden, the West Garden Army is only responsible for the defense of the periphery of the Dragon Garden, and the guard battalion around Liu Wei is responsible for the core area and the safety of the Son of Heaven.

This is a team of about 1,000 people, and the personnel are all elite people with strong ideas and martial arts drawn from various armies.

Because their passwords were different from those of the Xiyuan Army on the periphery, the camouflage of Gao Gan and the others had also lost their effect here. Further, what is needed is concealment, luck, and the command ability of high-level cadres.

Under Yuan Shao's command, Gao Gan's reputation is not as good as Yan Liangwen's ugly and high-jawed appearance, who is known as the "Four Generals of Hebei". But in fact, the force of Gao Gan is not inferior to these four people, and they are also worshiped as Zhonglang generals, but because they are Yuan Shao's nephews, it is inevitable that people will feel that the upper position is because of nepotism.

Gao Gan understands the opinions of others in his heart, he is also a person with an arrogant temperament, and he came to Luoyang to help Yuan Kui act this time, which he took the initiative to ask, the purpose is to prove his ability to others. Although he knew that this operation into the palace was dangerous and abnormal, and he was destined to die, he was also determined to succeed in his heart.

In fact, Yuan Kui designed so many chaos in Luoyang City, which did serve the purpose of distracting Liu Wei's forces, even if it was the soldiers and horses of the guard battalion, there were not as many as in the past at this time. However, even so, the high-ranking cadres still lurked on the periphery for a while, after all, they were not many in number, and they went deep behind enemy lines, and all they wanted was to hit with one blow.

Gao Gan's plan was not entirely to assassinate Liu Wei, and the best outcome was naturally to hold Liu Wei hostage, force him to abdicate, and make the Luoyang defenders give up resistance. These people are also able to get out of the way.

It wasn't until the southern army began to attack Maolongyuan, and after some chaos occurred here, that Gao Gan dared to lead people into the core area, only to hear Chen Guo say that Liu Wei was no longer in Zhutao Yashe at this time, but moved to a small island in the lake after the rebellion began.

As a royal garden, the Dragon Garden occupies a large area, and after the chaos in the city, as a protective measure, the Son of Heaven can naturally hide anywhere in the garden when he leaves his residence. If Gao Gan and others are looking around, they will definitely startle the snake, and now they can confirm the direction, which is indeed of great help.

However, the stakes were very high, Gao Gan gritted his teeth, and confirmed to Chen Guo again with anxiety: "The little emperor really hid on that small island?" ”

Chen Guo and Liu Wei have a grudge against their brothers, and these things will inevitably be inquired about clearly. In fact, Liu Wei's escort battalion has a complete set of security plans, and there are corresponding arrangements for dealing with some emergencies. For example, when there was a great change in the palace, the Son of Heaven moved to a small island in the lake to command.

These security plans were originally confidential, but because the Xiyuan Army had been stationed in Maolong Garden for a long time, adjacent to the Son of Heaven Guard Battalion, they still got along very well with each other, and there were many exchanges between the soldiers.

"With his life as a guarantee, the little emperor will be there!" Chen Guo said with an oath.

Stretching out the head with a knife, shrinking the head is also a knife. Hesitation is a taboo for generals. Gao Gan waved his hand with determination and whispered "Go forward", and the group finally went deep into the core area of Maolong Park.

Along the way, I was afraid that I would be found out at some point. At first, they tried their best to avoid others, until a team of guards hurriedly ran towards them, Gao Gan and the others couldn't dodge, stopped and tensed their bodies nervously.

Everyone was ready to fight at any time, but who knew that this group of guards hurriedly ran past them, ignoring them, obviously because they had urgent things to do.

It wasn't until the team of guards walked away that they breathed a sigh of relief. Suddenly, a flash of inspiration occurred in Gao Gan's mind, and he commanded in a low voice: "Everyone run." ”

Everyone was puzzled, why did the originally cautious lurking suddenly have to make a big splash? Isn't this to reveal your whereabouts? However, Gao Gan ran first, and everyone had to follow him.

Gao Gan shouted an emergency military report while running, and some of the guards really thought that they were soldiers from the West Park Army who came to deliver military information. Some of the doubters, before they could react, they had already run over.

Only then did everyone understand Gao Gan's intentions, and they all shouted along, and their steps quickened. At this time, the dragon garden was relatively chaotic, everyone had their own tasks or military orders, and for a while there was really no one to seriously check them, and Gao Gan and the others almost approached the lake as if they had taken great luck.

At this time, you can already see the small island in the lake, which is actually a wide pavilion in the middle of the lake. There is only a pontoon bridge leading from the lake, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and there is a boat parked next to the pavilion, and it is estimated that if someone enters the pavilion, the people inside can escape by boat.

There was a circle of white yarn hanging outside the pavilion, and it was difficult to see the people inside. However, the pavilion was brightly lit, and Gao Gan could see that the figures reflected inside were a group of people sitting around a long table. A thin figure sat at the head of the long table, and the others sat on the left and right.

When Gao Gan was in Luoyang, he had already heard that Liu Weihao, the son of heaven, sat around a long table with close important ministers, and said: "Long table to discuss politics." I think the little emperor must be inside.

Gao Gan couldn't hold back the excitement in his heart, and at this time, a team of guards stationed by the lake blocked their way, came up and questioned them: "Password? ”

Where does Gao Gan know what the password is, it is imminent at this moment, and he must rush over in one go. The distance of the pontoon bridge is not short, and the most important thing for Gao Gan is the boat parked next to the pavilion.

The water of the lake is brought in from outside. If the little emperor can escape to the ship, whether it is against the current or downstream, Gao Gan and the others may only end in failure.

Gao Gan made a look, and Chun Yuqiong beside him understood, shouted and took the lead in attacking, and swung his spear to smash back the guards who came up to question. The others roared in unison, rushing up to break through the barriers and board the pontoon bridge.

When the other guards heard the news, they came to their aid, and Gao Gan divided four or five people to resist the surrounding guards, and he led people to run quickly across the pontoon bridge.

When Gao Gan and the others were running wildly on the pontoon bridge, there was chaos in the pavilion opposite, with figures crowded, fire candles swaying, and the boat parked at the pavilion also stood up and began to set up its sails, as if ready to leave at any time.

"Can't let them go!" Gao Gan yelled.

The crowd quickened their pace, and when they got closer, their spears and bows were shot at the pavilion and the boat. One or two of them threw torches at the ship, and I don't know what it ignited, and the ship suddenly caught fire. The pavilion became even more chaotic, someone extinguished the candles, and the pavilion suddenly became dark.

Although Gao Gan and the others didn't know why the ship burned so easily, the situation was indeed very favorable to them at this time, and they rushed a few steps and finally rushed into the pavilion.

It was pitch black in the pavilion, but by the moonlight you could see the tables and chairs inside, and the ground was a mess, but - Gao Gan gasped - there was no one inside!

The pavilion was wide at a glance, and Chun Yuqiong kicked over a table unwillingly, as if he wanted to check whether there were Tibetans hidden below. Some people muttered what was going on, and a wave of uneasy emotions instantly surged into Gao Gan's heart, and then a dangerous alarm sounded in his brain very quickly.

It all went so well. From the time they infiltrated the Dragon Garden, it seemed to be a little easier along the way.

"I've been tricked, let's go!" Gao Gan suddenly roared.

At the same time, a violent roar sounded, and the pontoon bridge that originally connected the pavilion was shattered by the explosion, completely cutting off their back road, turning the entire pavilion into an island in the lake.

At the same time, small boats sailed down the river and soon surrounded the pavilion.

One of the boats sailed to the front, and a young man on board was none other than Liu Wei, the son of heaven. The expression on his face was full of smugness, and his face was full of smirk. If it weren't for the fact that he was too young and a little immature, he would still have the momentum of a villain boss.

"When heaven and earth work together, heroes are not free! Gao Gan, Chun Yuqiong, Er and others conspired to make trouble, intending to assassinate me, what else do you have to say now that the evil deeds have been exposed? Liu Wei stood at the bow of the boat and shouted proudly at Gao Gan and the others.

"That's the little emperor Liu Wei!" Chun Yuqiong gritted her teeth beside Gao Gan and said.

Gao Gan clenched his fists angrily, he already understood at this moment that he had fallen for the little emperor's trick. The other party is afraid that he has already been prepared, and he has set up a game and waited for himself to throw himself into the net.

The little emperor was not in the pavilion at all, and the people in the pavilion may have dived away when he rushed over, the pontoon bridge connecting the pavilion was blown off by gunpowder, and the only boat parked next to it was also burned by them.

Gao Gan glared at Chen Guo viciously and asked, "You betrayed us?" ”

Their plan to enter the palace except for Yuan Kui, Xin Ping, him and Chun Yuqiong, only this Chen Guo knows. Compared with others, Gao Gan was more willing to look at Chen Guo with suspicion.

Facing Gao Gan's fierce gaze, Chen Guo was a little panicked. He didn't understand how he could suddenly fall into the ambush of the little emperor. Just looking at everyone's unkind eyes, Chen Guo couldn't help but take a step back and explained in a panic: "It's not me, it's not me!" ”

"The dog thief is coming!" Gao Gan didn't bother to investigate whether Chen Guo had betrayed them at this time, and directly swung his knife at Chen Guo.

Chen Guo blocked, and was shocked to take a few steps back, and several swords pierced his chest directly from the back, and it was Chun Yuqiong who shot from behind.

Before he died, Chen Guo was still full of unwillingness and grievance.

"It's not me!" Chen Guo shouted angrily, and his body fell to the ground.

Liu Wei outside the pavilion didn't know the situation inside, and still stood on the bow of the boat and said proudly: "There is no way to retreat at this time, if you are willing to lay down your arms and surrender obediently, maybe I will spare your life!" ”

One of the high-ranking subordinates in the pavilion scolded: "The Dog Emperor is acting in a coy manner, I will take your life!" ”

There was more fear in the voice than anger. Liu Wei sneered, and was about to say something more, when suddenly a spear flew out of the pavilion and stabbed straight at him!

There was no time to react at all, and the spear appeared in front of Liu Wei in an instant with a strong wind. The sneering expression on his face hadn't gone away, only stiffened momentarily as the spear gradually became clear in front of his eyes. Immediately afterwards, a gust of wind swept past his ears, and a sharp arrow collided with the spear that was about to stab Liu Wei in the air, and the sparks shot out, and the spear changed direction and plunged into Liu Wei's feet.

It all happened so fast that the lightning was over. The guards around Liu Wei only reacted at this time, stepped forward to pull Liu Wei off the bow of the boat, and protected him in groups.

Liu Wei looked embarrassed, glanced back, and Zhao Yun on the shore put down his longbow.

This is really one thing that makes Liu Wei depressed. In the past, when I read a time-traveling novel, the male protagonist designed to trap the enemy and come out to talk eloquently and show his brilliance, which should have been the most stylish time. Who knows how it will be their turn to be so embarrassed.

Liu Wei, who was a little annoyed and angry, hurriedly ordered the soldiers to row the boat he was riding farther away. The soldiers on the other ships were ordered to surround and start to give Gao Gan and the others the final blow.

On the shore, Zhao Yun took a small boat to join Liu Bian. As soon as they met, Liu Wei thanked Zhao Yundao: "If Zilong hadn't made a move just now, my life would have been at risk!" ”

Zhao Yunzheng said: "This is what a courtier should do. ”

While the two were talking, the siege of Gao Gan and others in the pavilion also began. In charge of the operation was a guard battalion of more than 300 people.

They did not stupidly climb the pavilion to fight hand-to-hand with Gao Gan and the others, but formed a circle around the boat, circled the pavilion and began to fire crossbow arrows inside.

Gao Gan and others have a strong ability, but they can't show it. One after another, people were shot by crossbow arrows, and those who fell to the ground and did not die let out bursts of painful **. Gao Gan and the others lifted the table to block in front of them, but when the boat began to use the bed crossbow, the spear-like crossbow arrows shot easily pierced the table and chair and pierced Gao Gan and the others.

This group of people, including Gao Gan, are all good men in the Northland, and most of them are ignorant of water. A few of those who knew how to escape wanted to jump into the water, but they were also caught by the fishing nets full of barbs erected around the pavilion. Even if they could escape the fishing nets, there were sailors arranged by Liu Wei in advance, and they would definitely not be able to escape.

After shooting the crossbow arrows for a while, the pavilion gradually disappeared**. Until he felt that the people inside should be dead, Liu Wei ordered the archery to be stopped and sent someone to climb the pavilion.

Zhao Yun also followed, led by Liu Rui, the deputy head of the guard battalion. After going up for a while, the sound of ping-pong fighting sounded again.

"Dog thief......" Liu Rui shouted.

With a beast-like roar, a man with several arrows in his body dragged a young man covered in blood and rushed out.

"Hugh away!" Liu Rui chased him out from behind.

The man wanted to snatch a small boat and escape, but before he could get close to the boat, a figure came to him with a spear swooping past Liu Rui.

The man swung his spear outward, and the head of the spear turned away at an unbelievable angle, stabbing the young man covered in blood.

"Yuancai!" The man let out a scream.

The spear stabbed him in the throat, and without saying a word, the limp corpse fell to the ground.

The figure stood still, its gaze cold.

"Zhao Zilong in Xia Changshan." Zhao Yun's words were unhurried, looking at Chun Yuqiong, who was like a beast, his eyes were full of condescending contempt.

"I'll kill you!"

No longer snatching the boat, Chun Yuqiong roared angrily and picked up her spear and smashed it at Zhao Yun.

Zhao Yun curled up to dodge the spear picked up by Chun Yuqiong, and at the same time held the tip of the spear, stabbing upwards like lightning. The tip of the spear pierced Chun Yuqiong's jaw and went straight into the brain.

Chun Yuqiong's eyes widened in surprise, and Zhao Yun, who was attached to him, looked at him for a moment and pulled out the tip of the gun.

Chun Yuqiong's body fell to the ground silently, and Liu Rui stepped forward to make up for Gao Gan and Chun Yuqiong one by one. He was injured in the arm, apparently to vent his anger, and he cursed in his mouth: "The dog thief dares to pretend to be dead and sneak attack!" ”

It was only at this time that Liu Wei breathed a sigh of relief. The end of Gao Gan and the others means that Yuan Kui's last killing move has also failed, and at this moment, it is time to start ending this rebellion.
