Chapter 6: The Night of the Assassination
The door of the side hall was also closed with Cai Yong's entry.
As an entourage, Han Lie was naturally not allowed to enter, and at this moment, he could only stand outside the corridor of the side hall and wait.
The sky gradually darkened, and soon it began to snow, standing on the high steps of the corridor, looking at the huge Nangong Hall, except for the occasional patrol team, there was no human habitation, giving people a sense of gloom and solemnity.
This is obviously the first snow in Luoyang since the beginning of winter, and the temperature has dropped to freezing all of a sudden.
Han Lie, who had been practicing martial arts for many years, warmed up after a little skill, and because he didn't know when Cai Yong would come out, Han Lie didn't dare to go far, so he had to walk around.
However, after a few turns around, Han Lie found that the guards did not check him, and what surprised him even more was that although there were many sentry posts, there were several drainage outlets under the city wall, but there were no guards, and such an obvious omission, I don't know if it was intentional or really ignored.
The snow is falling, and night is quietly falling.
Han Lie didn't expect that Cai Yong would meet Dong Zhuo this time and discuss for so long, judging from the situation where the waiter brought the wine and food into the hall just now, he was afraid that Cai Yong would not be afraid to come out for a while.
Sure enough, after a while, a waiter came to Han Lie and said, "Lord Cai instructed the little one, if Han Gongzi has something to do, he can go back first, and if he is not in a hurry, he can follow the slave to the side room for dinner." ”
"There is Father-in-law." Han Lie was thinking of walking around again, and he smiled with a smile.
Walking through the corridor and down another staircase, Han Lie came to a side room, and the waiter immediately brought a pot of wine and some food before retreating.
Han Lie looked at the situation in the lower room, and then sat down cross-legged, to be honest, back to the end of the Han Dynasty, although Han Lie has gradually become accustomed to the way of life here, he still feels quite uncomfortable to sit on the ground, for this reason, when he is alone, he still likes to sit cross-legged.
In the middle of the night, when Han Lie was meditating cross-legged, an exclamation suddenly came from the direction of the main hall: "There are assassins, protect Your Majesty!" ”
Suddenly, within the silent palace walls, fires flared up, and bursts of rumbling footsteps flocked to the main hall of the South Palace from all directions, that is, the place where Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty lived and governed the government.
Han Lie pushed the door out, and when he rushed to the outside of the side hall, he saw a team of ironclad guards, who were hurrying over, led by a big man, more than nine feet tall, wearing a bright and sparkling fish scale armor, holding a Fang Tian painting halberd, and holding a majestic and domineering style.
If he hadn't arrived earlier, Han Lie would not have been able to get close to the side hall, and at this moment, the door of the side hall was open, and Cai Yong and the others were standing at the door, looking in the direction of the main hall.
At the moment when Han Lie arrived, the big man who followed closely followed also followed, holding his halberd in both hands and shouting: "The last general, Lu Bu, came to listen to the order, please give the prime minister's orders." ”
"It is just right for Feng to come first, leaving a team of soldiers, you will immediately lead the team to protect Your Majesty, and if there is any resistance, you will be killed." When the angry shout came out, Dong Zhuo's sturdy body appeared at the gate of the palace.
"Whoa!" The sound was like thunder, moving like a tiger and a leopard, Lu Bu made a deep voice, and the momentum was terrifying, only to see him wave his hand and shake the brocade robe behind him, and his majestic body had stepped out of a zhang away.
"Sure enough, it's a master, and with my current skills, there is almost no chance of winning against this person." Han Lie on the side, his eyes swept over Lu Bu like electricity, and his brows couldn't help frowning slightly.
Although he had always heard of Lu Bu's name and had always imagined that Lu Bu was powerful, at this moment, Han Lie still found that he still underestimated this person, and this person's kung fu was only afraid that he had already reached the realm of a grandmaster.
As soon as Lu Bu left, Han Lie, who had withdrawn his gaze, moved to Cai Yong's side and said, "My lord, are you okay?" ”
"Ziyang, I thought you were gone, and I bothered you today." At this time, Cai Yong's drunkenness had already woken up, and when he saw that Han Lie was still there, he was somewhat apologetic.
"This is a matter for the younger generation, and adults don't need to be polite." Han Lie replied calmly.
"Hey, uncle, this son is Chen Situ's grandson?" Dong Zhuo, who was standing at the gate of the palace, turned his eyes at this time, and when he saw Han Lie's handsome face, the old horseman's eyes lit up, and he asked with a smile when he squinted his leopard eyes.
"Junior, Han Lie, meet Lord Xiangguo." Han Lie saw that Dong Zhuo noticed him, so he had to bow down and bow.
"Chen Situ is loyal and filial piety, Zhuo Shen admires, tomorrow Zhuo will play His Majesty, restore Chen Situ's reputation, and Han Gongzi is not an official, I don't know what Han Gongzi thinks?" Dong Zhuo is not only brutal, but also lewd and lustful, this will be closer to take a closer look, he suddenly found that Han Lie is even more beautiful than the huge palace concubine, and his heart suddenly moved, and he actually had a heart for Han Lie.
"Thank you Xiangguo for your love, and swear to die for Xiangguo." Han Lie was stared at by Dong Zhuo's squinting eyes, and he really felt like a thorn, so he had to bend down to avoid the other party's eyes.
Originally, Cai Yong also thought that he had recommended Han Lie just now and made Dong Zhuo pay attention to it, but when he saw Dong Zhuo's gaze, Cai Yong was taken aback, and hurriedly stepped forward and said: "It's getting late today, Yong is really tired, and I ask the prime minister to allow his subordinates to retire." ”
"What Bo Jiao said is reasonable, it's getting late today, and at this moment, Bo Jiao will live in the side hall, and I will let someone arrange a place for you to live." Dong Zhuo waved his sleeves, but stared at Han Lie intently.
"Damn, this old puppet is really eyeing himself?" Han Lie scolded secretly, and was about to speak, when Cai Yong said: "Lord Xie Xiangguo, Ziyang, don't help my old man go down to rest." ”
"Whoa!" When Han Lie hurriedly stepped forward to support Cai Yong, Dong Zhuo said with a smile: "Bo Jiao, why are you so anxious, don't be in a hurry to wait for Feng to solve the assassin's matter first, Zhuo happens to be close to Ziyang." ”
"Lord Xiangguo......" Cai Yong still wanted to argue with reason, but Dong Zhuo waved his hand and said: "It's cold outside, Ziyang helps Benxiang in." ”
"Made, this old pervert, can't find the truth and die?" Han Lie originally didn't think about assassinating Dong Zhuo tonight, but at this moment, facing Dong Zhuo's (lewd) evil gaze, Han Lie's murderous intent followed.
"Whoa!" Han Lie took a step forward and just held Dong Zhuo's arm with both hands, but unexpectedly, the old pervert stretched out his claws, touched the back of Han Lie's hand in a hurry, and said with a strange smile: "Okay, good, it's really beautiful hands, and people are even more beautiful!" ”
Han Lie's face tightened, if it weren't for the fact that there were hundreds of ironclad troops at the gate of the palace at this moment, Han Lie was afraid that he would pull out his knife and cut off the claws of Dong Lao Thief on the spot.
"Beauty, tonight I should take pity on you, haha!" Dong Zhuo stepped into the palace and couldn't help laughing: "No one is allowed to come in without an order from the prime minister." ”
"Whoa!" The Janissary Guards outside the palace gate responded with a bang.
When Cai Yong heard this, he was immediately shocked, and said to himself with regret: "It's the old man who hurt Ziyang, and he is ashamed of Lord Chen's kindness in the past!" ”
Han Lie was originally a little worried that he couldn't hit him with one hit, but when he heard Dong Zhuo's words, he couldn't help but almost laugh, and the killing intent in his heart almost erupted, and he secretly said in his heart: This old man is looking for death by himself, so don't blame Lao Tzu for sending him to hell today.
