Chapter 64: The Rebellion of the Ten Servants (6)
The fire on the palace gate in front of him was still burning wantonly, the armor in his hand was already burning, and Cao Cao was only left with a pair of underwear worn under the armor, and he sat on the ground with his head scattered against the horse, his legs spread out weakly.

"Horses, horses, the Han family is about to die out in front of my eyes, what do you think I can do?"
The cold wind in the night blew through the road in the palace, some burned wood slag was blown by the north wind, dragging out the sound of zla on the ground, the heat of the fire dancing in the cold wind was blown away by the cold wind, Cao Cao and the flame burning on the palace gate were close at hand, feeling the temperature of the flame hitting his face with the light, but as long as the night wind together with the warmth on his body suddenly dissipated, he could continue to feel the warmth after the wind passed.
An almost reproachful voice appeared in Cao Cao's mind, and it was a conversation in his own mind.
"Why don't you stop Yuan Kui? Why did you just watch countless troops rush into the palace and burn them? ”
Then a crying voice rang out.
"You think I want to! What do I do to stop them? Should I point at them and reprimand them, or should I block the palace gate with my body and let them step on it? ”
The more the crying voice spoke, the more sad and angry it became, and the more it spoke, the more excited it became.
"I can't take care of it! I can't take care of it! I can't take care of it! ”
Cao Cao held his head and shook it in pain, the voice in his mouth coincided with the voice in his head, and he kept shouting that I can't take care of it.
After a while, his voice finally weakened, Cao Cao's body gradually calmed down, and his emotions seemed to calm down.
It's just that the voice that was initially full of accusations in my head sounded weakly: "Why am I so incompetent? ”
"Drive!"
Zhang Rang whipped the horse fiercely, and the horse galloped quickly in the courtyard of the palace, passing through the palaces and high-rise buildings at a gallop.
"Not fast enough! Not fast enough! ”
Zhang Rang was riding on a horse with a long sword in his hand, his face was a little distorted, at this moment Zhang Rang had almost forgotten the things around him, the eunuchs and palace maids who were fleeing in the palace had spread the sky-high flames, Zhang Rang's chest seemed to be burning with a flame, this fire burned Zhang Rang's reason, and manipulated his body to rush to Chengqian Palace in the fastest way.
"Ahh
Zhang Rang screamed and stabbed the long sword in his hand into the horse's buttocks.
"Herod's Laws, Herod's Laws......"
There was a terrible scream from the horse's mouth, and the sudden attack behind him was so severe that the instinct for survival caused the horse to shake off the horse's hooves and gallop forward as if flying.
"Let's get it"
The sound of horses' hooves gradually came to the front of Chengqian Palace, at this time Zhang Rang had already made more than a dozen cuts on the horse's buttocks, and the horse was already foaming at the mouth when he ran here, no matter how Zhang Rang pulled the reins, there was no way to make it stop.
Zhang Rang gritted his teeth, turned over and jumped, jumped to the ground in front of the gate of Chengqian Palace, affected by the inertia of the horse's high-speed gallop, Zhang Rang's feet stopped but his upper body was still moving forward, and he fell to the ground with a bang, and the horse lost Zhang Rang's control, and hit his head on a palace wall in front of him, his skull was shattered, and his brain was burst.
Zhang Rang struggled to stand up, and there was a heart-piercing pain in his legs, which was the injury he had just suffered from hitting the ground.
The Yellow Gate and the palace maids in the Chengqian Palace have already fled, and the news of the combined army's attack on the palace has already spread throughout the northern and southern palaces.
Zhang Rang dragged his injured leg and limped into the palace gate, Chengqian Palace is the place where the Son of Heaven rests, Zhang Rang knew that at this time, the Young Emperor and Liu Xie were both living in the Chengqian Hall of Chengqian Palace, and they could rescue the two princes of the Spirit Emperor at the same time.
"Yuan Kuma...... Yuan Shao...... Yang Ci ...... Damn you! ”
Zhang Rang pronounced a name with every step, and the pain in his leg made Zhang Rang grit his teeth, but he still stubbornly held on to the pain and walked towards the palace.
There is no screen after entering the gate of Chengqian Palace, and you can see the magnificent palace at a glance. The middle of the palace gate to the palace is a huge square, the stone carvings of rare birds and beasts are scattered everywhere, the green grass is like grass, the clear stream bridge, the rockery is chaotic, it is also the emperor's palace, the huge square, but the Chengqian Palace is different from the solemn and magnificent Weiyang Palace Square used for the last dynasty, and the Chengqian Palace is more of the magnificent beauty of the world.
And Zhang Rang finally crossed the square, the pain in his leg became more and more intense, and he came to the bottom of the Chengqian Palace, looking up, the successive stairs towered into the clouds.
Zhang Rang smiled bitterly, lowered his head and grabbed his trouser legs, and with the help of the strength of his arms, he opened his legs and climbed step by step on the three hundred white marble steps.
"No, Zhang Rang can't save the two princes alone."
Zhao Zhong clenched his fists in panic.
"Zhao Changshi, what's wrong with you? You and Zhang Changzhi are so weird, people are furious when they see it. Guo Sheng covered his mouth and looked at Zhao Zhong in embarrassment.
"There's no time to explain." Zhao Zhong shook his head and walked among the people, and said to the seven permanent attendants who were still here and hurriedly packing up their things, "Everyone. ”
"Now that Yuan Shao is leading his troops into the palace, not only to get rid of us and others, but also to murder the Son of Heaven, Zhang Rang has already gone to the rescue, who wants to go to Chengqian Palace to help him?"
Duan Jue, the only one who didn't pack up for himself, stood up silently, arched his hand at Zhao Zhong, took a long sword from the wall, and turned to leave.
"Oh, it turns out that Zhang Changzhi is here to rescue the driver." Guo Sheng pinched an orchid and pointed at Zhao Zhong and smiled, "Then I'll also share a share of the credit, maybe the little emperor can reward me with that five-flower concentric jade!" ”
Zhao Zhong wordlessly looked at Guo Shengnan's smile that was neither male nor female, and Duan Jue, who only had a back left, nodded silently.
"Humph! If you are stupid and want to die, go yourself, Emperor? Cut, what does his life or death have to do with me? Xia Hui looked at these fools with disdain, and thought to himself.
So Xia Hui put the backpack in his hand on his back and said, "You wait for death, and you still want to live, don't you want to force me to take risks to save Liu Yan, it's a big deal for me to go by myself." ”
After speaking, Xia Hui also greeted several other people: "Who wants to walk with me?" ”
"Me!" Feng Zhen was the first to stand up, "Originally, I said that I would leave early, but where are you and one by one, wait for my life-saving time, hum!" ”
Feng Yu walked to Xia Hui's side, and looked at the rest of Hou Lan, Song Dian, and Cheng Kuang with Xia Hui, and wanted to force them to make a statement.
"Cut, a bunch of soft eggs, I'll go by myself, old lady!" Guo Sheng glanced at Feng Zhen and Xia Hui contemptuously, and left alone.
Zhao Zhong also turned his head and looked at the remaining three quietly.
"Huh? This ......" Hou Lan and the others saw Zhao Zhong's gaze, and Feng Yu and Xia Hui almost torn their faces to divide their positions with Zhao Zhong, the scene was tense, and they didn't know how to act, but they still had a greater desire to survive in their hearts.
I only heard the noise outside the palace, thinking that Yuan Shao had led the army to arrive, and he was setting fire to the door, and he couldn't hold on for a long time.
Several people were anxious in their hearts, but after all, they were not stunned after playing with power for many years, and asked Zhao Zhong euphemistically: "Eh...... Seeing that Zhang Changzhi left in a hurry just now, I don't know if His Majesty and King Chen Liuwang are so important? Let Zhang Changzhi not even care about his life? ”
"Hmph, your generation has only seen our accumulation of wealth and power, but they don't know that we are the power cultivated by the emperor, and our loyalty is not to the Han family, but to Your Majesty." Zhao Zhong replied contemptuously in his heart, and couldn't help but think of the old generation of palace elders who had served Emperor Ling since childhood, but now only himself and Zhang Rang were left, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
However, after listening to the words of the three people, Zhao Zhong still understood what a few people meant, although he asked Zhang Rang in the words, and did not state his position, but asked Zhang Rang why he saved His Majesty is saying that they don't understand, since they don't understand, they must be unwilling to go.
"Hahahaha, now that most people are willing to live, I hope that Zhao Chang will have friends for many years, and don't embarrass me." Xia Hui laughed when he saw that Hou Lan and the three of them were already on his side, and proudly arched his hand at Zhao Zhong, watching Zhao Zhong's reaction.
"Oops, you misunderstood." Zhao Zhong hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed the hands of a few people, "Just now I asked who was willing to go to the rescue, but I didn't say that you had to go." ”
Zhao Zhong pulled everyone to his table, where there was a map of the palace.
"The ants are still stealing their lives, everyone has known each other for many years, how could I, Zhao Zhong, cut off everyone's way of life?"
"Come and see, this is the map of the palace, and now that the coalition forces are strong, I will plan a few escape routes for you."
Feng Zhen, Xia Hui and the others glanced at each other, thinking that Zhao Zhong would not be able to deceive them, so they came forward to watch.
Zhao Zhong pointed to the map on the table and said: "The Forbidden Palace is divided into the South Palace, the North Palace, built by the mountain, only one road is the same between the two palaces, you ride on fast horses, out of our current residence, it is inevitable that the United Army will be pursued, go their separate ways, bypass the army, you go to the North Palace, the road in the palace is complicated, the generals of the United Army are not as familiar as us, with your ability to get away, how?" ”
Everyone looked at each other and said, "Good." ”
"Okay." Zhao Zhong drew a road line on the map, "Xia Hui goes east to Yongshou Palace, Feng Yu goes west to Xueyang Palace, Hou Lan walks to Changxin Palace, Cheng Kuang goes to Huayin Palace, Song Dian goes to Yixia Pavilion, without further ado, everyone should set off as soon as possible." ”
Hou Ran was still a little hesitant, and asked with concern: "Zhao Changshi, what about you, aren't you leaving?" ”
"Boom"
The gate of the palace where the ten permanent servants were located was slammed down, and countless armored soldiers rushed in.
"Rush! The root of the world's troubles is in the house, and the soldiers follow me! Yuan Shao jumped in front of him, and the whip in his hand pointed to the palace.
"Kill!"
"Avenge the General!"
"For the world to get rid of these scourges of men, men and women!"
Feng Zhen and the others in the house immediately panicked when they heard this, and they broke out one after another, got on their horses and fled, only Hou Lan remained in the house and looked at Zhao Zhong.
Zhao Zhong glanced at the sergeant who rushed from afar outside the house, and smiled at Hou Lan dismally: "I'll stay and help you delay some time, and also help Zhang Rang and His Majesty buy some time." ”
"If you don't leave, it's too late." After speaking, Zhao Zhong pushed Hou Lan, turned around and walked out of the house.
Hou Lan looked at Zhao Zhong's back before leaving, and suddenly remembered in his mind that this was the commander of the Yellow Gate who was in charge of all the new eunuchs in the palace, and he and Feng Zhen and Xia Hui had been taken care of by him many times, but now when the catastrophe came, he carried him away, and he felt very uncomfortable.
Listening to the sound of the horse's hooves riding a fast horse from the back door, the corner of Zhao Zhong's left mouth rose slightly.
"Want to run for your life? Hmph, do you think you'll be able to get away? Pray that I can help Zhang Rang buy some more time! Hum hum hum ......"
Zhao Zhong Lingran stood at the door of the hall, looking at Yuan Shao and Qianjun who were rushing towards him under the hundred steps, and let out a wild laugh.
"Hahaha...... The royal family cultivates the royal life, and the world is disgraced! I, Zhao Zhong, have committed countless sins in my life, and it is not a pity to die, but I pity the Han for 400 years, and today I am buried in the hands of the Yuan family. ”
"Traitors don't want to talk nonsense!" When Yuan Shao heard this, he hurriedly urged the horses and chased them in front of Zhao Zhong as fast as he could.
"Poof"
The white light flashed, and Zhao Zhong's head had already rolled to the ground when the people and horses were staggered.
"Zhao Zhong's thieves have been ambushed, follow me to hunt down the eunuchs who just fled!" Yuan Shao lifted Zhao Zhong's head and shouted at the three armies.
"Roar! Roar! The general is mighty! ”
"Kill all the eunuchs!"
