On October 8, Su Jing sent a message that the envoys of the imperial court would arrive at Shen Shi in the afternoon. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Liu Xuan had lunch, took a nap, and went to meet Su Jing. Then, the two joined Kong Rong again. A group of three people, with a group of officials from Beihai Kingdom and the royal palace, went to the west gate of Xi County.

It's an October day, and it's cold and windy.

Especially today, it is even more dark clouds, and a chill fills the air.

Liu Xuan stood beside Su Jing and asked in a low voice, "Guofu, who is the imperial envoy who came to Xi County this time?" ”

Su Jing shook his head, indicating that he didn't know.

Kong Rong took over and replied, "The person who came to Beihai Country is Li Dao, the general under Dong Zhuo. ”

"Li Dao?"

When Liu Xuan heard this, his brows furrowed slightly.

Kong Rong thought that Liu Xuan didn't know about Li Dao, so he explained: "Li Dao is Dong Zhuo's henchman, and it is said that the elite Flying Bear Army under Dong Zhuo's command is led by Li Dao. Regarding the birthday celebration of the Son of Heaven, Dong Zhuo sent Li Dao to come, and he attached great importance to Beihai Kingdom. ”

Liu Xuan said: "Kong Xiang, could this be that Dong Zhuo wants to make things difficult for you?" ”

Kong Rong said: "I can't rule out this possibility, when I was appointed as the minister of the North Sea, it was Dong Zhuo's instructions. In the final analysis, it was because Dong Zhuo wanted to abolish the young emperor, and the prime minister had contradicted him. ”

After a pause, Kong Rong said again: "In addition, Dong Zhuo may also want to take this opportunity to test the attitude of various states and counties towards the imperial court, or towards him. ”

"Since Yuan Shao, Cao Cao, Sun Jian and others rebelled against Dong Zhuo, the deterrent power of the imperial court has been declining."

"Dong Zhuo wants to drink the officials of the states, and there are already difficulties."

Kong Rong Zhengse said: "Now that Dong Zhuo has retreated to Chang'an, he feels that his prestige is insufficient, so he wants to test it. Whether there is a rest of the purpose is unknown. However, the prime minister speculated that Dong Zhuo might also want to take this opportunity to win over a group of people. ”

Liu Xuan nodded, and then stopped talking.

Su Jing had a solemn look on his face and said, "Shizi, after Li Dao arrives." If he has an arrogant attitude and sharp words, you should not be angry with him. Bear with it, and it's over. ”

Liu Xuan asked, "Why endure?" ”

Su Jing said: "Although Li Dao is Dong Zhuo's person, nominally, he represents the imperial court. We can't control how the officials of other counties treat the envoys of the imperial court, but Beihai State can't leave people with a handle. ”

Liu Xuan nodded in agreement, but he didn't think so.

Handle, what is it?

In this era, the power in the hands is the truth, and the rest is completely useless. Liu Xuan had his own ideas in his heart, but he also understood that Su Jing was for his good, so he didn't speak again.

A group of people waited slowly.

When I arrived near Shen, there was still no one on the official road outside the city.

The first time Liu Xuan waited for someone like this, he didn't have a good impression of Li Dao, and asked: "Kong Xiang, Li Dao's people, did you say that Shen arrived at the time?" ”

Kong Rong said: "It's Shen Shi!" ”

Liu Xuan waited quietly, and when he arrived at Shen, there was still no one on the official road.

At this time, Liu Xuan was a little unhappy in his heart.

Li Dao nominally represents the imperial court, but in the final analysis, Dong Zhuo is just a lackey. The most important thing is that Li Xuan's coming delayed Liu Xuan's return to Guanyang County, which was Liu Xuan's most unhappy.

However, seeing that Su Jing and Kong Rong were still patient, Liu Xuan could only hold back his temperament.

A group of people waited slowly. Half an hour passed, and the sky began to darken. On the official road ahead, except for the sound of the cold wind howling, there was no sound.

Liu Xuan's face sank like water, and his heart became more and more irritable.

When he was approaching, suddenly, one of the attendants accompanying him widened his eyes and shouted, "Here, there is a figure on the official road." ”

Everyone's eyes looked forward in unison.

On the official road, a group of cavalry quickly appeared, from far and near.

Liu Xuan's eyesight is excellent, and he can see clearly quickly. There were ten people in this team. Everybody, on horseback, drove at a very fast pace. In particular, this group of people is extremely skilled, and at first glance they are accustomed to riding horses.

The person who came, it was Li Dao and his party.

"Da! Da! ”

The sound of horses' hooves resounded on the official road. The closer you get to the gates, the more rapid the sound of horses' hooves. After a while, I can already see the appearance of the person who came. The distance between the two sides is less than eight feet.

Kong Rong, Su Jing and Liu Xuan stood at the front with their heads held high, waiting for each other to stop.

"Da! Da! ”

The sound of horses' hooves became more and more urgent.

The distance kept getting closer, but the speed of the war horse did not decrease at all.

Hachijo!

Liuzhang!

Sanzhang!

When the war horse was less than a foot away from Kong Rong, Su Jing and Liu Xuan, the speed of the rampage did not decrease at all. That arrogant momentum made Kong Rong and Su Jing feel a touch of fear in their hearts.

There was no time to dodge, and the war horse rushed up.

Exclamations were heard from behind.

Many people closed their eyes and couldn't bear to see the scene of the war horse crashing into Kong Rong and others.

Brush!

In an instant, the war horse arrived in front of him.

At this moment, Li Dao, who was galloping on a horse, suddenly reined in the reins of the horse.

"Herod!"

After the horse was restrained, it suddenly stopped. I saw the front hooves of the sturdy war horse raised, and the man stood in the air, shaking his hooves, shaking his head, and neighing.

This scene is terrifying.

"Ahh

Kong Rong and Su Jing exclaimed in surprise, couldn't help but take a few steps back, and sat on the ground with a pale face.

It was so scary that both of them were terrified.

Liu Xuan stood in place, his expression unchanged, and his eyes were as calm as stagnant water.

"Step! Trample! ”

The horse's hooves fell, and Li Jize stood in front of Kong Rong and Su Jing and laughed, looking proud.

Liu Xuan looked at Li Dao coldly, anger burning in his eyes.

This guy is too arrogant.

Liu Xuan took a step forward, and the anger in his heart couldn't help but burst out. At this time, Su Jing stood up, hurriedly took two steps, grabbed Liu Xuan's hand, and shook his head to signal Liu Xuan not to be impulsive.

Kong Rong also stood up, but his face was pale and he still had some heart palpitations. He walked in front of Liu Xuan, calmed down his good mood, and arched his hand: "In the lower Beihai Xiangkong Rong, I don't know if it is General Li Dao?" ”

Li Dao said: "It is the general." ”

When Kong Rong heard this, a trace of anger flashed in his eyes, angry at Li Wei's humiliation of him.

Obviously, Li Dao was taking revenge on him.

However, after all, the person who came was in the name of the imperial court and the Son of Heaven.

Kong Rong suppressed the anger in his heart, and said without humility or arrogance: "General Li has worked hard all the way. The prime minister prepared drinks at the Prime Minister's Mansion to wash the dust for General Li. General Lee, please. ”

"Wait!"

Suddenly, Li Dao spoke again.

He was on a horse, holding the reins of his horse, and there was a playful look on his face. As Dong Zhuo's confidant, Li Dao has a very strong personality and understands the contradiction between Dong Zhuo and Kong Rong. He came to Beihai Country this time, on the one hand, to convey Dong Zhuo's order, and on the other hand, to test Kong Rong, and then humiliate Kong Rong by the way.

Kong Rong said: "What else does General Li command?" ”

Li Wei smiled and said: "This war horse is very disobedient, so it collided with Kong Xiang." This beast is very stubborn, and he is a road idiot. There is no way, I can only work hard, please lead the horse into the city, how about it? ”

Brush!

Kong Rong's complexion turned iron blue.

He is a dignified minister of the North Sea and a great Confucian in the sea, and it is simply a boundless humiliation to be asked so much by Li Dao. Such a thing, Kong Rong couldn't bear it. However, as soon as Kong Rong raised his head, he saw Li Wei's playful look, and his heart chuckled.

This ruffian is clearly waiting for him to get angry.

Kong Rong weighed in his heart, he was angry now, and it was easy to fall into the trap of the other party. But when he stepped forward to lead the horse, it was a lifetime of shame. Kong Rong will never lead a horse, but if he doesn't lead a horse, how can he solve it?

For a time, Kong Rong was in a dilemma.

"Kong Xiang, leave the matter of leading the horse to me."

Liu Xuan stepped forward, his eyes staring at Li Dao, and a provocative look flashed in his eyes.
