For Tai Shici, the action coach who has established a high prestige with military exploits, Liu Cun is a hundred reassuring.

Today's Tai Shi Ci has fully matured, not only has amazing martial arts and the combat command ability of the large corps, but also the overall situation and battlefield sensitivity are becoming more and more prominent, plus Xu Sheng, Yan Shen, Xu Huang and other generals led by Tai Shi Ci jointly led more than 20,000 elite cavalry to go out, and then there is a steady, steadfast, resolute and resolute general Guan Hai led 40,000 horses to respond, it can be said that such a plan has been very safe.

What worried Liu Cun was not the Lu Jiu Division, which had successfully established supply stations along the way under the cover of the caravan, but Lu Pei, who led the tiger and leopard battalion to disperse and lurk in Chang'an City nearly two months in advance.

Although no one in the city knew about this extremely important secret operation except for Zhang Dun, let alone the identity of Lu Pei, who appeared as Zhang Dun's nephew and was known as Zhang Dong, Liu Cun always felt that the civil and military ministers in the city who swore to be the internal response were unreliable.

One of the important reasons is that Yang Biao, the most influential and excellent organizational ability, had to leave Chang'an because of the decree, and at this moment with the three shrewd and capable middle-aged ministers are by his side, and the only one who can be trusted in Chang'an City is the old Zhao Qi. If a minister accidentally leaks the plan for the lives of his wife, concubine and children, Liu Cun's biggest reliance on Zhang Dun and Lu Peike will be in trouble.

The above are not the top secret actions that Liu Cun is most anxious about and must not let the third person see the clues, whether they succeed in the end or not, it is not important to Liu Cun at this moment.

After being tortured, Liu Cun suddenly found that the safety of his beloved disciple Rupei was far more dangerous than the life of the so-called emperor. It also made him feel even more guilty.

On the evening of the fifth day. The light snow slowly stopped for several days. More than ten tired cavalry of the Qingzhou Army rushed to Tongguan from west to east.

The young soldier who took the lead couldn't wait for several days of sleepless galloping, looked up at the brothers in the army who were waiting under the pressure of the black press, and roared loudly: "The rescue is successful, the emperor and the ministers are about to arrive——"

Xiongguan cheered, applause thundered, and Liu Cun, who was churning like a huge wave in his heart, held Yang Biao and others who rushed to him with tears streaming down their faces. Nodding heavily and shouting a command.

Under the Xiongguan, a team of men and horses rushed out in an instant, helped the tired Baojie brothers off their horses with seven hands and eight feet, and carried them into the pass.

Under the dark and dreary night, the heavily garrisoned Tongguan returned to calm after a short period of hustle and bustle, and the outside of the pass was covered with snow and heavily guarded.

After visiting the young emperor, who was still dizzy after receiving many medical consultations and treatments, Liu Cun had a brief discussion with Zhao Qi and Yang Biao, the leaders of the extremely anxious ministers. On the grounds that the army needed to be mobilized immediately to meet the enemy, he quietly left the palace. came to the backyard of his temporary marshal's mansion again to visit his beloved disciple Rupei, who was "seriously injured in order to cover the young emperor's sacrifice of life and death".

Tai Shici and other generals who gathered in the Shuaifu to wait for orders, and Liu Cun visited the warriors of the Tiger and Leopard Battalion who were concentrated in the side room to recuperate, and then dispersed quickly, Liu Cun came to the backyard alone and entered Lu Pei's bedroom where he was recuperating from his injuries.

"Don't move, just lie down."

Liu Cun stopped Lu Pei, who had changed into comfortable casual clothes, and stood up and saluted, and slowly sat down on the chair in front of the bed: "Lord Zhao Qi and those lucky ministers are full of praise for your loyalty and bravery, saying that you sacrificed your life to cover the young emperor, and after several arrows in your body, you still risked death to climb out of the carriage, drove the carriage that was about to get out of control at high speed in the rain of arrows, and rushed out of danger with the young emperor, and unanimously asked me to promote your official rank and give you a heavy reward, return to Luoyang to settle down, and give you a title in the name of the emperor and the imperial court." ”

Lu Pei couldn't help but smile: "At that time, our convoy had successfully killed out of the north gate, gradually accelerated, and went around the east avenue of the city, the route was just at the edge of the range of the bow and crossbow of the enemy defending the city, plus the night was vast, the city was chaotic outside the city, although there were many arrows shot on the city, it seemed that the rain of arrows was extremely dangerous, but it was not enough to cause too much damage, which was also the fundamental reason why most of the courtiers and their dependents were able to escape alive in the end." ”

Liu Cun nodded, reached out and touched the wound on Lu Pei's right arm that was re-bandaged: "How is the injury?" ”

Lu Pei's heart was warm: "It's no big deal, before launching, the disciple has already put on close-fitting soft armor and supported the vital points of the whole body, if it is not for fear of arousing suspicion, he is willing to endure a few arrows, even if more sharp arrows fly, he will never be shot." ”

Liu Chu smiled heartily, lowered his voice and asked, "The arrow that pierced the young emperor's body was unexpected, what did you think at the time?" ”

Lu Pei replied guiltily: "It was too chaotic at that time, in order to attract the idea of the enemy defending the city, the car that escorted the emperor and the two important eunuchs fled did not extinguish the torches above the carriage after rushing out of the city gate. ”

"The two eunuchs in the car went forward one after another under the shouting of the apprentice, and died for the frightened half-dead young emperor, and the guards outside the car who suffered heavy casualties desperately knocked out the torches on the roof of the car under the loud reminder of the apprentice, and the apprentice had the opportunity to pull out the sharp arrow on the dead eunuch's body, quietly replaced it with the poison-soaked arrow prepared in advance, and stabbed his right rib in the right rib while the young emperor who fell to the ground and cried incessantly."

"Unexpectedly, the young emperor, who had just gotten up halfway, fell down again, and was caught off guard, so he had to avoid the vital point of his neck, but he still pierced his trachea."

Liu Cun gently patted his beloved disciple's shoulder: "It's wrong, it's wrong, now it seems that the effect is better than piercing the right ribs, it's more like a stray arrow that suddenly flies, even the meticulous Lord Zhang Dun and all the medical officers can't see any flaws, maybe this is the will of heaven." ”

Lu Pei nodded slightly, was silent for a moment, and asked in a low voice, "How is the situation with the young emperor?" ”

"The wound is not fatal, but it can't make a sound, plus it bleeds a lot and rushes in terror, so I woke up for a while and fell asleep after feeding the ginseng soup." Liu Cun replied.

Rupe suddenly became nervous: "Could it be that the arrow poison has failed?" ”

Liu Cun comforted: "Don't worry, the curare poison has begun to attack, the medical officers are used to scurvy caused by knives and arrows, they are worried but they can't do anything, they have made the worst prediction, and privately reported to me and several important ministers in the court, send them to Luoyang as soon as possible to ask Hua Tuo or Wu Pu for treatment, otherwise the young emperor's injury will deteriorate rapidly, and it is not sure whether he can withstand it for half a month." ”

"What if Doctor Hua Tuo can really cure it?" Rupe was in a hurry.

Liu Cun smiled slightly: "When have you ever seen a person with sepsis who can be cured?" No matter how capable the divine doctor and his disciples are, they can only resign themselves to fate, and it is already very remarkable to be able to extend the life span of the injured for a few days! ”
