The person who set fire to signal the attack at the right time was Wu Kuang, the general under the command of He Jin, and Yuan Shu led his troops to break through after getting this order, and most of the defenders of Jiademen were eunuchs, so Yuan Shu almost effortlessly pressed the defense line of Jiademen straight into the palace. Yuan Shao saw that Yuan Shu had already broken through the Jiade Gate, so he shouted: "All eunuchs will be punished!" Cao Cao and the others naturally took out their side-worn blades to kill the generals, and those who saw them did not have to die under the chaos of the soldiers, and a large number of ministers took off their pants to verify that they were not eunuchs to escape.

And Zhao Zhong, Cheng Kuang, Xia Xun, and Guo Sheng were chased to Cuihualou by Yuan Shu's corporal soldiers, and they were beheaded when they had nowhere to escape, and Zhang Rang and others took advantage of the chaos to escape. But Zhang Rang knew very well that he would not be able to escape in this way, and he didn't want to survive after doing such a thing, so after discussing with a group of people, he kidnapped Empress Dowager He and Liu Wei, and it happened that Liu Xie, the king of Chen Liu, was also there at this time, so he took it away together, and the group went straight to the North Palace from the path.

Originally, because they walked the path and the group did not encounter any trouble, the three Empress Dowager He did not dare to easily anger these people who had already died, but in front of the North Palace, they saw an old man wearing armor and guarding in front of the North Palace. Zhang Rang hurriedly hid in the crowd. And Lu Zhi was also looking at the group, at this time Duan Jue was in front, Lu Zhi angrily reprimanded: "Duan Jue is a traitor, dare to rob the Queen Mother!" Where did Duan Jue dare to answer, turned around and motioned for everyone to turn around and flee. When Empress Dowager He saw Lu Zhi, she immediately knew that this was the opportunity to escape, and tried her best to jump down the steps, but Zhang Rang and the others didn't care about Empress Dowager He and fled with the emperor and King Chen Liu.

At this time, of course, Lu Zhi wanted to pursue, after all, the emperor was still in the hands of Zhang Rang and others. But Empress Dowager He shouted on the side: "Duke Lu is me." So Lu Zhi had to give up his plan to pursue and go back to support Empress Dowager He. At this time, He Jin's general Wu Kuang also led his troops into the inner court, and met He Miao who came out with a sword. The so-called enemies are very red when they meet. This He Miao has always been unpopular, even if Wu Kuangdang wanted to step forward and He Miao shouted: "I am the son of a general." Ru'an dare! Wu Kuang sneered even more when he heard this, then looked back at his corporal and said: "This person plotted to kill his brother, and he even brazenly regarded himself as a younger brother, what do you think should be dealt with?" The crowd shouted, "Please, slay the thief of the plotter!" He Miao panicked when he heard this, and he wanted to find a way to escape, but he was surrounded by armor soldiers on all sides, and he was about to open his mouth to defend himself, but he didn't want Wu Kuang to have already cut off his head with a knife in his hand.

After killing He Miao, Wu Kuang naturally wanted to go to Yuan Shao to ask what to do next, when Yuan Shao was looking for Zhang Rang and others everywhere, and saw Wu Kuang and He Miao's head around his waist naturally knew what was going on. So he ordered the division of troops to kill the eunuchs in the palace. But at this time, Cao Cao was still extremely calm, and he found the most important thing, the emperor was gone! And the fire that Wu Kuang set before had spread to the palace, he hurriedly ordered his soldiers to extinguish the fire, and at the same time asked people to search for Liu Wei's traces, but nothing was found, until Cao Cao himself found the North Palace and saw Empress Dowager He and Lu Zhi.

Now Cao Cao can't take care of so much, so he asked the Empress Dowager He to temporarily take over the overall situation, of course, this means that Cao Cao can see the ability of the Empress Dowager He. He said this nothing more than to ask Lu Zhi to temporarily take charge of the overall situation. Then Empress Dowager He informed Cao Cao of the direction in which Zhang Rang and the others fled, and Cao Cao naturally couldn't wait to inform Yuan Shao so he only took his relatives and hurriedly chased after him. The reason why Cao Cao was so flustered was very simple, Beigong was already outside the palace when he left the palace, once he left the palace, where should he find Zhang Rang and others? If Zhang Rang can't be found, he won't be able to welcome back the young emperor. That would be a different and worse situation.

At this time, Yuan Shao also got the news, and he didn't dare to delay any longer, so he hurriedly led his troops out to chase Cao Cao's footsteps and went straight to the outside of the North Palace, but said that outside the North Palace, it was not far from the North Palace. Duan Jue and the others were holding the two young children hostage, so naturally they couldn't go fast, and the palace behind them was full of fireworks. But it was as if the whole sky was burning. Zhang Rang and the others naturally didn't dare to stay longer. At this time, the changes in the palace had spread all over Luoyang, and the entire Luoyang was in chaos. Xu Ji naturally got the news, but he didn't make any moves, Yin Ning also asked him why he was still sitting in the mansion, Xu Ji said indifferently: "Ning Er doesn't know, now that the general is dead, the situation in Luoyang is in chaos, I am already the most reliable guarantee, Yuan Shao and Cao Cao and the others can't take a few eunuchs?" The purpose of my stay in Luoyang is to stabilize the situation. ”

But of course Xu Ji didn't think so in his heart, for him, standing still was definitely the most appropriate choice, don't forget that although He Jin was dead, the family behind him was undamaged, and once he accidentally revealed his flaws, he would be in a lifeless situation, so even if he deceived Yining, Xu Ji had to do it. As for the life and death of Liu Wei and Liu Xie, Xu Ji is not worried at all, Zhang Rang will definitely not let any of them die, these two little things are alive This big man will be chaotic, and these are exactly the results that Zhang Rang wants.

Gradually into the night, the fire in the palace was still not all extinguished, reflecting half of the sky, and Xu Ji leaned alone on the carved eaves of the roof, his eyes were slightly confused, obviously absent-minded, and suddenly the voice of Yining Qingyue came from the courtyard: "What is the husband looking at?" ”

Xu Ji looked down at his wife in the yard and sighed and shouted, "You will know the Tao when you come up." Of course, Yining is not a weak female streamer, hearing this, she climbed to the roof with the help of a ladder or two steps, only to see that the palace not far away was still shining with fire, and the smoke and dust were scattered, and she fell into silence. There is no need for Xu Ji to explain anything, it is where she grew up, and it is also the place that carries her happiness and sorrow.

"Isn't it true that the husband can't save the current situation?" Yining's eyes were misty, and he didn't look at Xu Ji. Of course, Xu Ji knew that according to his wife's ice and snow intelligence, he would never be able to hide it from her, and now he can see that Yin Ning is not ignorant of Lu Dao, but he is unwilling to influence Xu Ji's decision.

Xu Ji sighed softly, hugged her tightly from behind, and then said helplessly: "Ning'er, you can see the situation in Luoyang now, I naturally don't want to make a difference, but now it is not something that can be changed by one person." I'm sorry, Ning'er. ”

And Yining, who was in Xu Ji's arms, didn't answer after hearing Xu Ji's answer, but Xu Ji could feel her shrinking. Xu Ji gently hugged her tighter: "Don't worry. I'll protect you. He could feel her trembling slightly, and he couldn't see her expression. But Xu Ji understood that she was crying. Xu Ji was a little unbearable. But he really couldn't make the kind of decision to be angry and angry. What's more, even if he does it, it may not be able to do anything. So he can only selfishly choose to save himself.

At this time, Yi Ning finally spoke: "Ning'er, the difficulty of the husband, also knows that Ning'er is too willful. The husband's view of the world's major events is naturally clearer than Ning'er's, but Ning'er only has one wish, asking her husband to fulfill it for Ning'er. Xu Ji was stunned when he heard this, and then said softly: "Anyway, I will agree no matter what." ”

"The husband can't save the Han, so he asks the husband to build a better and stronger dynasty than the Han!" Although his words were choked, Xu Ji could clearly hear Yining's resoluteness, and he was surprised by his wife's performance. He let go of the hand holding Yining, turned her back to his position, and asked, "Why did Ning'er say this?" Seeing the surprise on Xu Ji's face, Yining smiled, she stretched out her hand and gently stroked Xu Ji's hair and said: "The husband has great ambitions, and the big man can no longer be a place for the husband to show what he has learned, so naturally a bigger stage is needed, right?" Regardless of whether the husband can become an adult in the future, isn't the husband's ambition what Ning Er said? ”

Hearing this, Xu Jicai calmed down his heart and said: "Ning'er frightened me, okay, I promise you, no matter how difficult the road ahead is, my ambition will still exist until death!" Yin Ning chuckled and patted Xu Ji's shoulder and said, "Don't talk nonsense, now you not only have the lives of countless soldiers and subordinates on your shoulders. There are more Ning'er's expectations and entrustment, not to mention Fujun's own ambitions, and Fujun is now with a heavy burden on his shoulders. Xu Ji frowned when he heard this, looked at Yining, and then sighed and hugged her tightly again: "Why force a happy face? You know me. Don't I understand you? Ning'er, but if Xu Ji is alive for a day, no one will be allowed to hurt you. Even if it's me who hurts you! ”

Of course, Xu Ji was sincere when he said this, and now that Luoyang has fallen into such a field, he does have an unshirkable responsibility. This is also the culprit that caused Yining to be so sad, so he was sorry. But Xu Ji also has no more perfect choice, so he can only bear the consequences of doing so. And Yin Ning just patted Xu Ji's back lightly at this time, as if talking to himself: "Ning Er knows what to say." Ning'er knows everything, but Ning'er is so sad......"

This was destined to be a difficult night for Xu Ji, and after appeasing Yining, he got bad news from the Hero Building: Dong Zhuo had raised troops from Michi. This means that Dong Zhuo will arrive in Luoyang soon, in view of this situation, Xu Ji has to rush to the West Garden overnight, he must let Gao Shun be ready to leave at any time, once Dong Zhuo is stationed in Luoyang, his own activity space is only afraid that it will be smaller than when He Jin was alive.

Besides, at this time, Zhang Rang, Duan Jue robbed the Young Emperor and Chen Liuwang had arrived in Beibi Mountain, at this time it was already nearly two watches, and the group was already exhausted, not to mention Liu Wei and Liu Xie, even Zhang Rang and others were already extremely tired, and they were looking for a place to rest, when suddenly there was a loud sound of horses' hooves from behind them, Duan Jue looked back and felt that his liver and gall were split, and the foothills were full of torches of light, and he didn't know how many people and horses there were for a while. Duan Jue hurriedly ordered to speed up, but the group was extremely tired, and it didn't take long for them to catch up.

The person at the head, Zhang Rang, recognized that it was Min Gong, a Peng official in central Henan, and when he saw Duan Qi immediately, he shouted: "Where does the rebel want to flee?" Zhang Rang and Duan Jue each grabbed one person in a panic and fled, Zhang Rang walked north, and went straight to a river before stopping. At this time, Zhang Rang was also helpless, looking at the person in his hand, it was Liu Xie, the king of Chen Liu, this child was looking at Zhang Rang with a curious face, and when he saw the river in front of him, he said in a childish voice: "Why don't you surrender?" Now there is a big river in front of the chasing army, and it seems that there is no way out. Zhang Rang looked back at the childish child and smiled sadly: "King Chen Liuwang may not know why Zhang Rang did what he did today, but it doesn't matter, the prince will know why the old slave did what he did in the future, the world has become a mess, and the prince still asks for more blessings." Then he threw himself into the river and died.

Where could Liu Xie expect Zhang Rang to have this move, he didn't dare to move for a long time, until there was no movement on the water surface, he dared to climb out of the grass by the river, when the sky was dark, Liu Xie couldn't tell the direction so he had to find a direction at random and walked, and after a while, he met the frightened Liu Bian, it turned out that Zhang Rang and Duan Jue were separated halfway because Min Gong was too anxious to chase Liu Bian, and he abandoned it. Only then did Liu Wei fall here, and the two brothers were frightened. At this time, the dew was deep again, and I was already hungry. For a while, they hugged each other and cried, but they didn't dare to cry loudly for fear of being noticed.

Liu Xie looked left and right, and said to Liu Wei in a panic: "Your Majesty, you can't stay here for a long time, when you find your way to leave!" Where did Liu Wei still have an idea at this time, so he naturally nodded again and again. So the two of them took off their robes and tied them together around their waists, and crawled out of the grass, but the grass was overgrown on the north mountain, and at this time, they were even more exposed and could not see their fingers, and when they were panicking, they suddenly flew out of the river. The road was illuminated, and the two of them could see the vision. Liu Xie turned back to Liu and said, "God is pitiful, Your Majesty, just take advantage of the light of the fireflies to find a way to live." Liu Wei naturally nodded yes.

So the two of them walked all the way through the light of the fireflies, and they didn't know how long they walked, but they felt that the sky was already faintly bustling before they could see the road. Liu Wei and Liu Xie were already in pain in their feet at this time, and it was difficult to walk anymore, and at this time, the two of them saw that there was only one post in front of them, and there was a family on it, so Liu Xie said: "Your Majesty." I can't wait anymore, so why don't we take this place to rest and make plans when the morning dawns? Liu Wei naturally couldn't leave, and he panted when he heard the words: "This plan is very good." Just do as you say. ”

The two supported each other until the door of the manor came out, and Liu Xie knocked on the door, and it was only five watches. It took about a moment for the fire to shine. I saw an old man in a cloth shirt come out with a lantern, and when he saw Liu Xie and Liu Bian, he was embarrassed and surprised: "Which young man are you?" Why is it so embarrassing again in the middle of the night? Liu Wei was silent, and Liu Xie replied when he saw this: "We are the sons of a wealthy merchant in Luoyang. Because I got lost with my family and lived here, can the elderly borrow a place for my brother to rest? ”

The old man smiled: "Do you care about me? Is it up to the north to wait for an idler to come? Now that the city of Luoyang is chaotic, how dare the old man act recklessly? Liu Xie had no choice but to put it together, pointed at Liu and argued: "This is the real emperor, and I am the king of Chen Liu, who was coerced here because of the chaos of the ten permanent servants." The old man's face was hesitant, obviously not believing, so Liu Wei took out a piece of jade pendant from his body and said, "Look." ”

The old man was shocked, the jade pendant was mediocre, but what was engraved afterwards was something in the palace that was clearly understood, and he hurriedly knelt down and said: "Please forgive your majesty and the prince, it is disrespectful for the grass people not to know their true faces." Liu Xieqi said: "The old man didn't believe it before, but why does he believe it now?" ”

The old man was worshipping and said: "The grass people were originally Cui Yiye, the younger brother of Situ Cui Lie. Because he saw that the ten permanent servants were jealous of the virtuous, they hid here, so they knew some things in the public. Liu Xie suddenly realized when he heard this. And Liu Wei took back the jade pendant in the old man's hand, and the two followed Cui Yi into the village, where did Cui Yi dare to slack off, and hurriedly called the little guy to prepare food and hot soup.

At this time, Duan Qi had already caught up with Min Gong, and when Min Gong saw that there was no Liu Wei by Duan Gong's side, he put a knife on Duan Qi's neck and asked, "Where is the Son of Heaven now?" Duan Jue also knew that it was useless to say more, so he told the truth: "I have lost each other halfway, and I don't know where to go." When Min Gong heard this, he was immediately furious, and when he raised his sword, he cut off Duan Jue's head, hung him on his horse, and ordered his subordinates to scatter to find traces of Liu Wei and Liu Xie.

Of course, he himself was not idle, he followed the road all the way, and happened to arrive at Cui Yi's village, but now he saw that the lights were already lit on the fifth watch Tianzhuang, so he was naturally suspicious, so he drove his horse to the front of the village, dismounted and knocked on Cui Yi's village. Cui Yi came out with a lantern and saw that Min Gong's immediate head had doubts, so he asked, "Who is the general's immediate leader?" Min Gong explained the whole story and asked, "Why did the old man make a fire to cook so early?" ”

Cui Yi smiled when he heard this: "The general has made a great contribution, and His Majesty and the prince have fallen to Xiaominzhuang, and let me lead the way for the general." When Min Gong entered the village, he saw that Liu Wei and Liu Xiegu were ragged and dirty, and immediately cried and said: "The minister is incompetent, and he has made the two of them fall like this." Liu Wei and Liu Xieben were also shocked, and Min Gong, the crying two, immediately cried loudly. It's just that the grief in the hearts of several people is not for the same reason.

After a long time, Min Gong stopped crying and said: "The country cannot be without a king for a day, please return the capital to Your Majesty." Liu Wei also stopped crying and said: "I can't do it with Chen Liuwanggu, why should I return to the court?" Cui Yi finally interjected at this time and said: "There is still a horse on the small village, if Your Majesty does not dislike it, you can travel on your behalf." Where else did Liu Wei choose, he had to nod his head.

So Cui Yi took out the thin horses on the village and put them in the saddle bridle and rode them alone by Liu Wei, while Liu Xie rode a horse with Min Gong. The three of them were less than three miles away from the village, and a group of people came from a distance, and if they looked closely, it was Situ Wang Yun, Tai Lieutenant Yang Biao, Left Military Academy Captain Chun Yuqiong, Right Military Academy Captain Zhao Rong, and Central Military Academy Captain Yuan Shao and a few people, and there were hundreds of people in the back, and they also cried when they saw Liu Bian.

Then Yuan Shao and others came to find a car to escort Liu Wei and Liu Xie, and first sent Duan Qi's head to Luoyang with Min Gong as an order.

At this time, Liu Wei was really relieved, but at this time, he found a problem, what about Xu Ji? (To be continued......)
