There are more than 20 zhang high from the door of the Chengqian Palace, which is paved by 300 white marble steps, and the step is ten zhang wide, and the whole staircase is like a waterfall pouring down from the cliff, hanging in mid-air. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Looking at it from a distance, the staircase that runs through heaven and earth is a large piece of white, and Zhang Rang is a small black dot, at this time, Zhang Rang, who is climbing on the stairs, is like a small ant on this huge staircase, moving up little by little.

At this time, the killing in the Han Palace had reached a peak, and the solemn palace had become a Shura hell, and none of the eunuchs and palace maids dared to stay in the palace and wait for the slaughter, so they packed their bags and escaped, but as soon as they got out of the palace, they ran into the combined army that was slaughtering everywhere, slashing, fleeing, screaming, laughing, and staggering.

Guo Sheng, who left ahead of schedule, had already caught up with Duan Jue, and the two rode horses side by side to Chengqian Palace, and Yuan Shao also caught up with Feng Zhen, Xia Hui and others one after another, killing them one by one, and finally asked Guo Sheng, Duan Jue and Zhang Rang in the mouth of Song Dian in the Chengqian Palace where the young emperor lived, and secretly called out that Yuan Shao, who was not good, quickly gathered his soldiers and horses and rushed towards Chengqian Palace.

And Zhang Rang had just climbed to the top of the ladder at this time, and the wound on his leg had wasted too much of his time, whether it was Guo Sheng, Duan Jue, or Yuan Shao's pursuers, they would soon catch up with him.

Zhang Rang walked into the empty Chengqian Palace, opened the bead curtain, pushed open the pavilion door, and looked everywhere for the trace of the young emperor.

"Your Majesty...... Your Majesty? ”

Zhang Rang kept shouting in the hall, but there was only one echo after another in response to him.

Finally, when Zhang Rang walked to the palace where the young emperor was sleeping, he heard a childish child's voice responding tentatively.

"Yes, is it Ah Gong Zhang? Yes! ”

Before the words were finished, the voice stopped abruptly as if someone had gagged it.

"Shhhh Another clearer voice sounded, and the tone seemed to be whispering to the young emperor, he thought that no one heard it, but in fact, the voice was louder than Liu Yan.

Zhang Rang, who was outside the house, couldn't laugh when he heard this, and immediately pushed the door into the house, knelt on the ground and bowed his head.

"Old slave Zhang Rang, meet Your Majesty and King Chen Liu."

Liu Xie, the king of Chen Liu, looked at this gray-haired old man kneeling on the ground with big beautiful eyes, he knelt on the ground respectfully, he should not be a bad person, and his heart was suddenly relieved.

"Grandpa, hurry up!"

Liu Bian jumped off the dragon bed and ran over to help Zhang Rang, Liu Xie let out a "hey" but did not stop Liu Bian.

Liu Bian said while helping Zhang Rang up: "Grandpa Zhang, what's wrong outside the palace, I heard the palace maid who ran away say that someone led the troops to attack the Qingsuo Gate?" Yikes! Your leg is bleeding! ”

"Out of the way." Zhang Rang got up from the ground with difficulty, "Your Majesty, flee with me, Yuan Shao led the troops into the palace, and he wanted to kill all the eunuchs such as me, and he would take advantage of the chaos to murder you!" ”

"Huh?" Liu Wei was shocked, "Brother, let's hurry up." ”

Time is precious, Zhang Rang didn't say much, he pulled Liu Bian with his big hand, Liu Bian pulled Liu Xie, and the three of them were about to walk outside the palace.

Liu Xie originally wanted to say something, but was hurriedly dragged by Liu Yan, so he could only stagger and stop talking.

Liu Xie originally had an independent dormitory after being named King Chen Liu, but since He Jin and He Hou plotted to kill Empress Dowager Dong together, Liu Bian felt that He Jin and He Hou might want to attack Liu Xie, so he found He Hou to cry and prevent them from hurting Liu Xie.

But although Liu Bian is honest but not stupid, he will not simply stop after understanding He Jinhe, so he found Liu Xie and said, "You can sleep with me in the future."

Liu Xie also knew in his heart that Liu Wei was protecting him, so he moved to live in the Chengqian Palace.

Later, Liu Xie still experienced several assassinations of He Hou and He Jin, but they all escaped by luck, but they also left a psychological shadow of insecurity anywhere, so there was no way to believe Zhang Rang at the beginning, and he wanted to ask out loud several times, but was troubled by Liu Bian.

However, this Liu Bian can be regarded as a fool, and this time the blind trust is given to the right person.

"Flutter"

didn't take a few steps, Zhang Rangzai couldn't control his trembling legs, and fell to the ground all of a sudden, unable to stand up after several struggles.

"Yikes! Grandpa, are you alright? ”

Liu Wei exclaimed, stretched out his hand to pull Zhang Rang up, but the person was small, even if he called Liu Xie, there was really no way to help Zhang Rang up.

Just when the two teenagers were standing there in a hurry, there was a sudden noise outside the door.

"Herod's Rod" horse came to a halt.

"Puff puff" is urgent.

Zhang Rang gestured to the two, and Liu Wei and Liu Xie hurriedly hid behind a huge vase, quietly poking their heads out to pay attention to the situation outside.

"Smack"

The palace door was pushed open, and two figures rushed in quickly.

"Zhang Changshi!"

"Come on, come on, hurry up with others to help Zhang Changzhi up."

The two helped Zhang Rang up, and one of them held one of Zhang Rang's hands and lifted him up.

Zhang Rang endured the sharp pain in his legs, and smiled miserably at the visitor: "Duan Qi, Guo Sheng is you."

Duan Qi nodded silently at Zhang Rang, and Guo Sheng also smiled coquettishly.

Seeing that it was these two people coming, Zhang Rang was relieved, and shouted at the place where Liu Wei and Liu Xie were hiding: "Your Majesty, Lord Wang, it's okay, please come out!"

Liu Wei and Liu Xie walked out from behind the vase, and after Duan Qi and Guo Sheng met the two, they turned to Zhang Rang.

"Zhang Changshi, it is not advisable to stay here for a long time, go quickly."

"Yes, yes, let's go, we're on horseback."

Zhang Rang hurriedly asked, "What is the situation outside the palace?" What about Zhao Zhong? ”

Duan Jue and Guo Sheng looked embarrassed, and Duan Jue said with difficulty: "Zhao Changshi, Zhao Changshou him, I waited on the way to hear the fleeing Huangmen say that Zhao Changshou stayed in the palace, was killed by Yuan Shao, and cut off his head." The rest of them were also caught up. ”

"Oh......" Zhang Rang seemed to be even older when he heard this, and his figure fell down, "Let's go." ”

"Hey, hey." At this time, Guo Sheng pulled Duan Jue's clothes.

"What?"

"Come, come." Guo Sheng stepped aside secretly, "You come here." ”

Duan Jue walked to the side with this Guo Sheng, Guo Sheng glanced at Duan Jue with a complicated expression, and whispered, "We only have two horses."

Duan Jue's expression froze, and he looked back at Zhang Rang, the two princes, and then looked back at Guo Sheng, his face full of surprise.

"Shh Guo Sheng put his finger on his mouth and motioned for Duan Jue to keep quiet.

Guo Sheng smiled quietly, secretly approached Duan Jue's tall body, put his chin on his ear, covering Zhang Rang and Liu Xie behind him, looked at Duan Jue, pointed at him, and then slowly pointed his finger at himself, while looking at Duan Jue with deep meaning.

Duan Jue shook his head heavily, grabbed Guo Sheng's hand pointing at him, turned it around forcefully, and pressed his fingers against his chest.

"People's bodies are weak, you were born strong, Zhang Changshi was injured, and the prince is too young." Guo Sheng shook his head and smiled, brushed his hair with his hand, and said softly, "Do you understand?" ”

Duan Jue's eyes turned red, he held back his tears, and nodded in agreement.

Guo Sheng saw that Duan Jue had agreed, and then turned around and walked towards Zhang Rang, and took out the edict forged with Jian Shuo from his chest.

"Hehe, Zhang Changshi, on the way here, I saw a palace maid holding a square yellow bag, and after seeing me, she hurriedly threw the big bag into a deep well, and I stepped forward to ask her to know that the box was a jade seal."

Zhang Rang was shocked when he heard this, he had forgotten such an important matter as the jade seal, and hurriedly turned around to look at Liu Bian and asked.

Liu Yan's eyes were flustered, but Liu Xie stood up and said, "Well, that's right, when the palace maid and Huangmen fled before, I saw a palace maid take away the jade seal. ”

Duan Jue couldn't help but ask out loud: "Then why didn't you stop her?" ”

"......" Liu Xie glanced at him and didn't speak.

"Idiot!" Guo Sheng knocked on Duan Jue's head, "How old is King Chen Liu, can you stop it?" Since that palace maid decided to run away, and she still had the courage to steal the jade seal, she would definitely not care about her status and status, and she might even be a member of the Yuan family. ”

"Oh." Duan Jue understood and scratched his head embarrassedly.

"And what did you do with it?" Zhang Rang leaned on the pillars in the palace and asked Guo Sheng.

Guo Sheng smiled: "The jade seal of the country is too big, it is not easy for us to get it on the way to escape, and the jade seal fell into the well, it is estimated that it will not be able to be recovered, I killed the palace maid, so no one will know the whereabouts of the jade seal." Even if the Yuan family controls the government and the queen mother today, without the jade seal, the canonized false emperor is not orthodox, and there is no way to stop and resist when His Majesty returns. ”

"Huh?" Liu Wei and Liu Xianshi exclaimed.

"......" Zhang Rang pondered for a while and said, "Then when His Majesty returns, there will be no certificate, how to correct his name?" ”

"Hey, hey." Guo Sheng raised the edict in his hand, "Then it depends on this thing." ”

"Huh?" Zhang Rang looked at the edict in Guo Sheng's hand suspiciously, "What is this?" ”

Liu Bian and Liu Xie also came together to see the edict.

Guo Sheng skillfully avoided the two princes and put the edict in Zhang Rang's hand: "Please see for yourself, this is a fake edict made by Jian Shuo with a jade seal at that time." ”

Zhang Rang took over the edict, quickly read the contents of the edict, his eyes opened suddenly in surprise, and he quickly regained his composure, not being noticed by Liu Bian and Liu Xie.

The edict was made by Jian Shuo in order to confront He Jin at that time, and it pretended to be Emperor Ling's tone to set up Liu Xie, that is, the current King Chen Liuwang as the crown prince, instead of the current His Majesty's young emperor Liu Bian.

Zhang Rang's eyes wandered around, and he looked at the two princes very seriously as he passed by, and his breathing was also a little undetectable.

"If you have to, take it out and use it as a last resort." Zhang Rang handed over the edict and said to Guo Sheng like this.

Guo Sheng did not accept the edict: "It's better to leave it with you, it's safer." ”

Zhang Rang looked at Guo Sheng with wide eyes, leaned in front of him, and asked in a hurried tone, "You don't plan to leave?" ”

"Hahahaha......" Guo Sheng laughed loudly, "I really can't hide it from you." ”

Duan Jue glanced at Guo Sheng sadly, turned around and walked out of the hall to lead the horse.

"No, you have to go." Zhang Rang looked at Guo Sheng sternly and said, "It should be me staying, I have a leg injury and can't run far." ”

Guo Sheng pointed at Liu Wei and retorted: "Who do you leave behind to take Your Majesty back to the palace?" Neither Duan Qi nor I are Yuan Kui's opponents. ”

"But ......" Zhang Rang's words were blocked in his throat, and the hand holding the fake edict hung down weakly, unable to speak for a long time.

"Purr......" Duan Jue led two horses into the palace and led them to Zhang Rang.

"Alas!" Zhang Rang slammed his injured leg and sighed fiercely, "Let's go!" ”

Zhang Rang and Duan Jue worked together to hold Liu Bian and Liu Xie on the horse, and then sat behind the two of them, tightened the reins, took the package and luggage handed over by Guo Sheng, and prepared to go.

Guo Sheng stood at the door of the palace, with a look of relief, he struggled to open the left door for everyone, ran a few steps, pushed open the right door, and the vast night sky outside the palace was suddenly visible, starry, and the world was vast.

Liu Bian didn't know what was going on, and sat in Zhang Rang's arms in a daze, looking at Guo Sheng not getting on the horse, feeling confused.

And Zhang Rang and Duan Jue, who were holding the reins, widened their eyes at this moment, gritted their teeth, and used all the strength on their bodies to whip the horse's body and gallop away.

Only Guo Sheng was left alone at the gate of the palace, looking at the two peerless flying horses, revealing his usual coquettish smile.
