Luoyang Dongguo takes the newly opened Cao Canal (Yang Canal) as a barrier, and has a bridge on the Cao Canal seven miles east of the Upper East Gate, called the Qili Bridge, and builds the Dongguo Gate of "three doors open" in the east of the bridge. Here, is the second line of defense in the east of Luoyang in addition to the Tiger Prison Pass, and the current garrison here is the former Baibo Qu Marshal and Jiande General Li Le.

Li Le has been very unhappy recently, he has always been proud of his great achievements: crossing the river to fight the rebellion, beheading thousands of levels, escorting to the death, returning to the east for the first credit, regardless of whether it is merit or hard work, he admits the second, and no one dares to admit the first - because the person who deserves to be the first is not here.

But for such a great achievement, because of his own background, he was sent to Dongguomen to garrison. And guarding the side of the Son of Heaven, in addition to the tiger ben and Yulin under the command of Fu Wan, are the soldiers and horses of the two factions of Ma Han and Dong Cheng. The horse is strong and strong, has plenty of food and grass, and has great merit, and is the favored person of the eldest princess, he can't compare. So what kind of thing is Dong Cheng? is not much stronger than himself, and if he forcibly stuffs a daughter into the harem, he really thinks he is a nobleman? Phew!

The more Li Le thought about it, the more angry he became, the buttermilk in his mouth seemed to have changed its taste, it was sour and bitter, and he spit on the ground, and in anger, he was about to order the cheese cooker to be whipped severely.

At this time, a person suddenly ran outside the tent, it was his henchman Li Qi. Li Qi's face was full of joy, and he shouted one after another: "General." Good news! Last night, Yang Feng, Song Guo and Han and Hu Erqu were in infighting, and blood flowed all over the place. Early this morning, Zhou Cang, on the order of the Son of Heaven, set up the second battalion of the Liaodong Army with 700 cavalry and went to quell the chaos. ”

The Dongguo Gate, where Li Le was located, was too far away from Hangu Pass, and according to the regulations, his army could not cross the west of Luoyang, so he fought all night and knew nothing. Until after dawn, the army was mobilized due to Zhou Cang. attracted the attention of Li Lejun's patrol post, and after inquiring, he realized that something big had happened.

Li Le shook his head, the dispute between Han and Hu and Yang and Song had been going on for several days, and even the Son of Heaven had sent ministers to mediate, but it was useless. As far as Li Le knew, these people were all arrogant and unruly, and no one would let anyone. Infighting is a matter of time and will not surprise him at all.

Li Leqi glanced at this henchman, and said lazily: "People are infighting, what are you happy about?" ”

Li Qi took a step closer. He lowered his voice and said: "The infighting in the fourth battalion, of course, has nothing to do with us, but didn't the general find a big opportunity?" ”

"Huh?"

"Zhou Cang led all the Liaodong troops away. The sun is empty. ”

Li Le was stunned, and slowly turned his face to look at this henchman: "What do you mean by this?" Do you want General Ben to take advantage of the situation to hijack the Son of Heaven? That's not the slightest. ”

Li Qi smiled mysteriously, and his voice lowered: "Naturally, it is no good to hijack the Son of Heaven. But the kidnapping of the princess is different......"

Li Le almost fell off the couch and said in a lost voice: "Robber...... Rob the princess? ”

Li Qi's face was full of red light, and his tone was excited and trembling: "Why did Ma Han get the favor of the Son of Heaven, and it wasn't because of the princess of Wannian?" At present, after the battle between this person and the Xiliang Army, his life and death are unknown, and his whereabouts are unknown. After Fu Wan and Dong Cheng asked Zhou Cang's big black man to come to the house for three days, it was a gift of maids and gold, and no one knew the meaning of the envelope. Now that Zhou Cang is leaving with his army, the generals in the entire Luoyang are the strongest, if we take the princess over in the name of protecting the princess...... General, you can become an authentic royal relative! ”

This mention yì is too tempting! Li Le froze, his heart pounded, and gradually, his eyes lit up. Who is he, Li Le? Two months ago, he was still a white wave thief, rape and plunder, commonplace, he didn't rob a hundred or eighty women from a good family, and now there is an unprecedented, most worthy of snatching the royal daughter in front of him, if he lets it go, then is he still called Li Le?

Li Le swallowed a mouthful of saliva hard, and suddenly burst out with a wild laugh: "Ma Han, Ma Han, aren't you very good?" Aren't you in a good life? Okay, I, Li Le, will replace him...... Hahahaha! ”

Li Qi said excitedly: "General, do you want to do it?" ”

"Why not? Dry! Li Le's eyes glowed like a wolf, and he ordered viciously, "Immediately gather all the sons and daughters - Bingfa Luoyang!" ”

……

To the south of Luoyang, close to Taixue, it is the old residence of Zhang Rang Courtyard, one of the ten permanent servants, and is now the temporary residence of the Son of Heaven, the princess and the accompanying hundred officials. Zhang Rang is worthy of being the powerful eunuch during the Emperor Ling period, even if it is a separate courtyard, it also covers a vast area, beautiful and beautiful. Of course, since Zhang Rang's death, the house has changed hands several times, and finally Luoyang has become a ruin, and this house is naturally uninhabited, let alone repaired. Now we can only get a glimpse of the prosperous beauty of the past from the rockery and real water, pavilions and pavilions.

In fact, the Son of Heaven and the hundred officials have long lost the mood to enjoy the beautiful scenery, all they want is that the place is big enough to live in people, and nothing else is taken to heart. Although it looks really embarrassing and unorthodox, it is much better than Liu Xie's downfall in Hedong in history.

In history, Liu Xie lived in Hedong, first endured humiliation and dirt, asked Li Dao, Guo Yan, and Zhang Ji for peace, and asked for the return of the car driver, captured officials, and palace maids. and then in a dilapidated house, the monarch and the ministers can only sit on the ground in the open air. The guards, who had just been transferred from bandits to officers and soldiers, lay on the low wall and pointed and laughed, like watching a play in the downtown area. Even high-ranking officials like Captain Si Li met the Son of Heaven, and they were thrown stones by the guards, and they ran in and out. The absurdity and desolation of its state makes people sigh only in regret.

At present, Liu Xie's situation is really much better, especially the mood, and he has entered the spring season in advance. Not only did he return to the haunting Luoyang, but he also got rid of one Xiliang warlord after another, and since then, I am in charge of my territory, how can I not be happy?

It's a pity that there are people who are disappointed today. First, when he heard of the infighting in the fourth battalion of Baibo, Chelang urgently asked Zhou Cang for his life and led the army to quell the chaos. Before his hanging heart was settled, there was another shocking news that Li Le, the general of Jiande stationed at Dongguomen, had eight hundred white wave soldiers and passed through Luoyang without an order, and was rushing here.

Hear the bad news. The whole court was shocked. You must know that at present, there are only two escorts beside the Son of Heaven: one is the Tiger Ben and Yulin Guards led by Fu Wan's father and son, all of which add up to only seventy or eighty people; The other is Dong Cheng's subordinates, with about 300 people. Even if they all add up, they are twice as small as Li Le, not to mention that these two armies are barely equipped with basic weapons such as spears, halberds, bows and shields, and they don't even have a few pairs of armor, and their combat power is really unexpected.

The news kept coming, General Dong Cheng led the army to intercept and question, and Li Le replied that the sergeant was hungry. Ask the Son of Heaven for food. Hearing that it was not a rebellion, the monarchs and ministers were relieved, but they were still worried, where did they get the food? At present, the supply is all dependent on the Liaodong Army, and how can the Liaodong Army lightly hand over the grain to Li Le?

When he was worried, he suddenly saw Dong Cheng running over with a sweat on his head, and said in panic: "Your Majesty, it's not good!" That Li Le divided his troops to confront the ministers, and led more than 300 soldiers. Pounce on the West Courtyard ......"

As soon as they heard this, Liu Xie and the ministers' faces changed greatly-the West Courtyard, that is the residence of the eldest princess of ten thousand years!

Yang Biao was anxious: "Your Majesty, the eldest princess must not be lost." Otherwise, once the right general returns, it will definitely set off a bloody storm. ”

The ministers thought to themselves, this still needs you to say, that evil star is for more than 100 soldiers. dared to throw down the Son of Heaven and kill the Xiliang people. If the eldest princess has a mistake, it won't be overturned......

Liu Xie stood up tengedly. pointed to Dong Cheng: "Dong Jun, I give you the Tiger Talisman, transfer the Tiger Benlang to the West Courtyard, be sure to protect the imperial sister, and there must be no mistakes!" ”

How many people are there in Tiger Benlang? Is there a team? Dong Chengtou is as big as a fight, but the king's order cannot be violated, and he also knows the strictness of this matter, so he has no choice but to lead the order with a bitter face.

At the end of the hour, Dong Cheng led more than 40 tiger Benlang, armed with rudimentary weapons, and rushed to the west courtyard, and when he reached the side door, he was bumping into Li Le head-on.

Li Le laughed, and the horse whip pointed at Dong Cheng: "General Dong, are you fighting the fire?" If you want me to say, you are fighting fires, and there are really fewer people, and the first 300 people are decent, but now there are only 40 or 50 people, how can you play with me? ”

Dong Chengtie's face turned blue, and he reprimanded angrily: "General Li, Your Majesty and the princes are in the North Courtyard, only a hundred steps away from here, what is your intention to make such a big move!" ”

Li Le raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "Presumably General Dong also heard about the infighting among the commanders of the fourth battalion under Hangu Pass, didn't I lead the troops to escort me for fear that the rebellious soldiers would be worried about His Majesty, the princess and the princes." General Dong, I have a lot of kindness. ”

Dong Cheng was stunned and said astringently: "The Son of Heaven is here, who dares to be rude?" There are tigers and feather forests, why are you afraid of the chaos? General Lee is kind and kind, please go back. ”

Li Le didn't come here to fight, just pull out a reasonable reason to prevaricate, how can he be patient with Dong Cheng? Break through now.

Dong Cheng gritted his teeth and waved his hand, and dozens of tiger benlang behind him stepped forward to stop him, but he was separated by the white wave army that was several times his size. Both sides were signaled by the general to refrain from fighting, only bumping with their shields, pushing with their bare hands, shouting and scolding, but there was no intention of drawing their blades against each other.

Dong Cheng knew very well in his heart that Li Le had to break through, he couldn't stop it at all, the only way to do it now was to put on a posture to be able to make a difference, as for the princess, he really couldn't control it.

In the chaos, no one noticed that thirty paces away, among the branches of a tree in the courtyard, stretched out a cold and shining arrow.

Shout! An arrow was like lightning, hitting the unsuspecting Dong Cheng's forehead.

Dong Cheng stared at a pair of eyes in disbelief, his throat was swishing, staring at the direction where the arrow was shooting, and after a few breaths, he fell on his back. At this time, there was chaos on the field, and no one noticed it.

The attack was successful, and a graceful and vigorous figure jumped from the tree, wrapped in a red scarf on his head, carrying a bow and arrows, and quickly flashed into the shadows of the house and disappeared.

Li Le led a team of followers, swaggering, rampage, and no one stopped him. He came to the princess's room, coughed a few times, and said to the scholar: "Li Le greets Her Royal Highness the princess." ”

After waiting for a long time, there was no response in the house. Li Le's eyes flashed, and he raised his hand to signal that Hu would not move, slowly paced up the stone steps, and gently pushed open a door.

The room is dimly lit, separated by a screen, and behind the thin veil, a slender shadow can be faintly seen.

Li Le held back the excitement in his heart, walked over step by step, and called softly: "Her Royal Highness the princess must have heard about the chaotic battle of the four battalions stationed in Hanguguan, and the virtue of these rebels is the most clear. The last will come to protect your ......"

Li Le was suddenly speechless - there was indeed a woman kneeling behind the screen, but it was not the eldest princess, and when she looked closely, it was one of the two female attendants beside the princess, the girl named Ma Yunluo. Li Le faintly felt that something was wrong in his heart, and asked sharply: "What about Her Royal Highness the Princess?" ”

Ma Yunluo knelt on the seat, raised his head and glanced at him coldly when he heard the words, without saying a word, but his eyes crossed his shoulders and stared straight behind him.

Li Le suddenly had a creepy feeling, and turned around with a knife - not far behind him, in the shadow of the corner of the room, sure enough, there was a figure who was slowly walking out.

When this person's facial features gradually appeared from the shadows, Li Le's eyes bulged suddenly, and his whole body was like falling into an ice cellar, and he almost sat down, unable to speak: "You, it's you...... Horse-Fierce! (To be continued......)
