After entering the door, Zu Zhao didn't squirm anymore, and stepped forward to pinch the Empress Dowager He's people. Yuan Shao and Cao Cao were speechless again, just like that, he was still worried that no one would see it?! However, both of them knew that Lu Dao Zuzhao's style of acting was relatively special, so it was not surprising.

After a while, the Queen Mother muttered and woke up faintly, but as soon as she woke up, she grabbed Zu Zhao's clothes and cried, "General, save my father, save my son......" In fact, Empress Dowager He didn't recognize Zu Zhao, but she saw Zu Zhao dressed as a young general at a glance, and she cried when she came up, completely crazy.

However, before Empress Dowager He's words fell, a deputy general under Yuan Shao suddenly broke in outside: "General, Weiyang Palace has gone to the water, Zhang Rang and Duan Jue and others have fled with King Chen Liuwang and the young emperor!" ”

Zu Zhao took advantage of the situation to pull down the hand of the Queen Mother who was holding his clothes: "What?!" I'll take a look. With that, he ran out of the palace directly, leaving Cao Cao and Yuan Shao to explain to Empress Dowager He about her father's death.

Let's say that Zu Zhao ran out of Changle Palace, smeared oil on the soles of his feet all the way, and went straight to Weiyang Palace like the wind, when he was fighting the fire, he suddenly found a person who covered his face with a cloth, behaved strangely, and his movements were very sneaky, Zu Zhao's eyes were sharp, and he could see that this guy was weird.

"Stop!" Zu Zhao shouted, ran in front of the man in two steps, stopped him, and stared at the man with blazing eyes. When the man saw Zu Zhao's gaze that seemed to be able to kill, he couldn't help but tremble with fright, took two steps back tremblingly, took a bucket in his hand, and said tremblingly: "Shao...... Major General, I'm fighting fires. ”

When Zu Zhao heard it, this person's voice was a little different from that of ordinary eunuchs, but he knew a real man, and he naturally knew in his heart that although this person's voice was deliberately roughened, he still heard that something was wrong, which obviously should be a eunuch in time.

"Look up and I'll see." Zu Zhao stared at the man coldly and said.

Seeing Zu Zhao forcing him like this, the man chuckled in his heart, his eyes flashed across Zu Zhao's face, and without saying a word, he dropped the barrel and ran away. When Zu Zhao saw it, he snorted coldly, pressed the sword in his hand, and hurriedly pulled out his legs to chase after him, this is clearly a eunuch!

After chasing a few steps, seeing that the man was about to turn through a palace gate, Zu Zhao suddenly stood still, and immediately drew the sword at his waist and threw it at the man not far away, but when he heard a miserable scream, the long sword went straight through the man's chest. Immediately, there was a "poof" sound of a heavy object falling to the ground.

Zu Zhao sneered and pulled out the long sword, and wiped the blood on the sword on the corpse, then flew up with a kick, and the corpse came over, the long sword picked off the masked towel on his face, and found that this person turned out to be Cao Jie, one of the ten permanent attendants.

Zu Zhao spit on the corpse's clothes with a mouthful of phlegm: "It's really cheap for you to die so easily." You and other people who abuse power and harm the country really don't understand their hatred when they are executed. ”

Stabbed Cao Jie to death, and when Zu Zhao just turned around to leave, he suddenly smelled the smell of fire oil. , sniffing his nose, looking around, he found that it was the smell of the wooden barrel that Cao Jie had just lost.

Zu Zhao suddenly realized that the fire in Weiyang Palace was caused by him. This damn eunuch, when he was dying, he didn't forget to do such ugly things, Zu Zhao was even more annoyed in his heart and stabbed him to death with a sword, he really wanted to freeze him and torture him fiercely, and then slowly kill him. I heard that such eunuchs and eunuchs are most willing to do when they take their sons and spoil women, but they don't have that thing, how can they spoil women. They came up with a unique trick, which was to kneel in front of them and spit their phlegm into their mouths, which was extremely disgusting.

"It's disgusting to think about, damn you." Zu Zhao couldn't help but shake his body, and commanded the soldiers who rushed to get water to put out the fire. After the fire was extinguished, Zu Zhao turned back to Changle Palace.

At this time, although Empress Dowager He was crying with red and swollen eyes and blurred vision, she had already gone from the dormitory to the front hall. She looked sad and haggard, she should have known the news of He Jin's death.

Seeing Zu Zhao come in, Yuan Shao and Cao Cao both greeted him and asked him about the situation in Weiyang Palace. Zu Zhao glanced at the Queen Mother, and according to the truth, when it came to the abduction of the Young Emperor, the Empress Dowager He almost fainted again.

"Now that there is chaos in the palace and the young emperor is missing, other princes must rush to enter the palace to control the government and consolidate their position, if this turmoil cannot be stabilized. The world will be in chaos. Cao Cao said.

"Exactly." Yuan Shao nodded, "We should find the emperor earlier!" ”

Zu Zhao said: "Finding the emperor and King Chen Liu is indeed a top priority, but now there is still an important thing to do before this top priority. ”

"What?" Yuan Shaodao.

"The palace can't go on like this." Zu Zhao groaned, and then walked in front of the Queen Mother and said, "Queen Mother, in the autumn of the survival of the society, in order to avoid chaos in the world, the palace also asked the Queen Mother to abbot the overall situation." ”

The Queen Mother's face was pale: "I am afraid that the palace is a woman, and I am afraid that I am not qualified for such a heavy burden." ”

"The Queen Mother!" Zu Zhao said loudly, "General He was killed by thieves, the young emperor and King Chen Liu were captured, and you are the only one left in the palace, even if you are not competent, you must be competent!" His voice was so fierce that Empress Dowager He's hands trembled: "You...... You ......" you didn't say the word "presumptuous" after a long time.

Zu Zhao glanced at the poor woman, then sighed, turned his head to ask Yuan Shao and Cao Cao's opinions, and asked them if they were willing to stay and help the Queen Mother, because after all, he was only a foreign minister and was not familiar with the affairs of the court.

Cao Cao and Yuan Shao agreed.

Zu Zhao breathed a sigh of relief, and then turned his head to the Queen Mother and said, if there is anything you don't understand, just listen to the opinions of the two of them. The Queen Mother was a little more relieved.

At this time, Zu Zhao asked for orders to chase after King Chen Liuwang and the young emperor who Zhang let them take away.

Since Yuan Shao and Cao Cao are going to stay in the palace to deal with the aftermath, the matter of chasing the young emperor can naturally only be done by Zu Zhao, even if he does not ask for his life, he has to do it. However, Zu Zhao's request for life is different, he has been leading the whole thing, but at the critical moment of making a decision, he always discusses with Cao Cao and Yuan Shao, and asking for his life like this is also a respect for the rest of the people.

Cao Cao and Yuan Shao admired him even more.

When Zu Zhao was about to go out to order troops to chase people, Empress Dowager He suddenly stopped Zu Zhao: "Young General——"

"What does the Queen Mother command?!" Zu Zhao's attitude was not the same as just now, but more humble.

"Zhang Rang and the others burned Weiyang Palace first and then fled?" Empress Dowager He asked.

"It should be so," Zu Zhao said, "I heard that the Young Emperor and King Chen Liuwang were both there at that time, so they must have gone over and led them away first." ”

"So you wait for me." As she spoke, Empress Dowager He got up and walked to the chaise longue, took out a pillow from it, cut a piece of cloth with scissors, and handed it to Zu Zhao.

Zu Zhao took a look and found that the quilt of the cloth was actually embroidered with a map.

"This is the map of the underground secret passage of Weiyang Palace, and non-royal families can't know it." Empress Dowager He said lightly, "If they kill the emperor, they must have fled from there, young general, you can find it according to the map." ”

Zu Zhao's eyes lit up: "Queen Mother, can you mark me the exit of this secret passage?" ”

"There are only two exits from the secret passage, one is the mountain behind the Imperial Garden, and the other is the North Palace." The Queen Mother said, "On the other side of the mountain behind the Imperial Garden, the road has been blocked due to the rain, so there is only one exit from the North Palace. ”

After Zu Zhao got the news, where was there still a second word, he put the picture in his sleeve, said goodbye to the Queen Mother, Yuan Shao, and Cao Cao, and led the troops straight to Weiyang Palace.

Zu Zhao led the troops, traveled lightly, and his mobility was quite good. The secret path that was supposed to take a stick of incense kung fu rushed out in less than a quarter of an hour.

Before leaving the North Palace, a ten-master beside Zu Zhao said: "Young General, I saw the thief, you see it's in front!" He pointed his hand from afar, and Zu Zhao took advantage of the situation to see four gorgeously dressed people in the distance in front of him who were walking in a hurry.

Zu Zhao didn't say a word, and led the troops to chase after him.

And Zhang asked Duan Jue to hear that there were pursuers behind him, and he chased closer and closer, and he was so frightened that he urinated.

Chen Liuwang and the young emperor are still young, so they naturally can't run fast, and Zhang Rang and Duan Qi have gone through a long journey, where do they still have the strength to hold them? At this time, because of the chasing soldiers behind, the young emperor was so frightened that he staggered two steps, fell to the ground with a "poof", and cried.

Duan Jue hurriedly turned around and planned to help the emperor, that would be the glory and wealth in the future! You can't lose the emperor if you lose anything. Zhang Rang pulled: "What else to help, it's important to save your life." ”

Duan Jue felt that they had done so much, wasn't it just for the supreme right of glory and wealth and turning their hands into clouds and rain, and if they lost the young emperor, they would lose everything, so they shook off Zhang Rang's hand and stepped forward.

At that time, Chen Liuwang, who was only eight years old, helped the young emperor up: "Brother, I don't know if it's a thief or something else, it's useless for you to cry here now, I'm afraid you will lose your life." The Great General is a lesson from the past! "The child is young and old, but the young emperor who is more than ten years old is more reasonable and insightful.

It's just that this King Chen Liuwang and the Young Emperor are Zhang Rang and Duan Qi reversed black and white, saying that the rebellious army entered the palace and killed the generals, and they wanted to kill them, so they were coaxed out. It was because King Chen Liuwang thought that there were probably rebels behind him.

"Yes, Your Majesty." Duan Jue put the emperor on his shoulder, "Don't be caught......" He ran out of breath as he said that, and although King Chen Liuwang was young, he ran behind Duan Jue by himself.

But even if Duan Jue ran by himself, he might not be able to run past Zu Zhao and the others behind him. Now that he is holding the young emperor, his natural actions are even slower, and Chen Liuwang is young and has short legs, which is even more cumbersome.

Listening to the shouting behind him, Duan Jue's psychological pressure was getting bigger and bigger, and he finally figured it out, what glory and wealth, and living in a special way is the real meaningful thing. Thinking of this, he immediately put down the young emperor on his shoulders and ran away by himself.

The young emperor got up and scolded and chased two steps, but where could he catch up with that Duan Jue?!

Seeing this, King Chen Liuwang hurriedly stepped forward and pulled him: "Brother Huang, don't chase it, I don't know if it's friend or foe in the back, let's find a place to hide first." There was a corner in front of us, so we ran over and hid out of sight. ”

The young emperor was the time when the six gods were without masters, and now when he heard his younger brother say this, he looked at the corner not far in front of him, and suddenly felt reasonable, and ran over first. Chen Liuwang followed.

After the two turned the corner, they saw Duan Jue and Zhang Rang running in front from a distance, and the young emperor wanted to chase Duan Jue, but was stopped by Chen Liuwang, who pointed to the low slope on the side of the road and said, "Brother Huang, don't chase them." Let's go there and hide. ”

The young emperor was disdainful in his heart, and said angrily: "If you want to hide, this time you come out, there are only two of them by your side, if you are separated, who will escort you?" Are you? You can't even reach the waist of those pursuers. ”

"Brother Huang, those people will definitely chase after them when they see Duan Jue and Zhang Rang running in front, let's hide them and let them go." The child frowned, speaking seriously, and the chaotic footsteps behind him were already very close, probably chasing the corner soon, he stomped his feet in place anxiously, "Brother Huang, hide quickly, otherwise it will be too late." ”

After saying that, he took the lead and rushed down the low slope. The young emperor was in a dilemma, but at this time, Duan Jue and the others had already run away, so they could only grit their teeth and follow Chen Liuwang down the low slope, and the two and a half old children were crowded into the depression under the low slope, and Chen Liuwang also got a lot of dead leaves to cover his body.

The young emperor was displeased and wanted to take away the dead leaves, but was stopped by King Chen Liu. Shi Mo chiseled his boots, the dust was flying, and Zu Zhao had already led people to chase after the corner.

When the two children heard the murderous words of the group of people above shouting "kill the gelding dog", they were so frightened that they didn't dare to come out.

And Zu Zhao and their eyes saw that Duan Qi and Zhang Rang were still running in front, so they continued to chase forward angrily, but they didn't find that the young emperor and Chen Liuwang were gone. When he was still more than 20 steps away from Duan Qi, Zhang Yuan, who was behind Zu Zhao, raised his gun and threw it, hitting it with one blow, and threw Duan Qi's leg through it.

Duan Jue screamed and fell to the ground, but still crawled forward lifelessly, as if he could survive as long as he did this.

However, the chasing soldiers came in time, and surrounded him in a few strokes, and he was cut into pulp in an instant, and the way of death was as good as He Jin, and it was miserable.

After Zhang Yuan led people to hack Duan Jue to death, Zu Zhao led people to continue to chase Zhang Rang.

Zhang Rang has been running for a long time, and he has long been exhausted, but on the line of life and death, people's potential is wireless, and he actually dragged a large number of tails to escape, and even the distance was still widened, but a person who has done a lot of evil will probably not even be able to stand it.

Seeing that Zhang Rang was running farther and farther, and was about to disappear from Zu Zhao's sight, he suddenly stopped.

Zu Zhao and the others ran closer to take a look, it turned out that a big river stopped in front of Zhang Rang, and the water under the river was turbulent, and there was no hope of crossing the river. Everyone suddenly laughed: "Traitor, even if you have fast feet and good physical strength, God will not spare you!" ”

After that, under the leadership of Zu Zhao, everyone gathered around Zhang Rang.

Zhang Rang knelt down with a plop: "Grandfathers, spare me, all this is Duan Jue's idea, and the little one is also forced by him!" ”

Zu Zhao sneered and said, "You say that I am also as soft-hearted as General He, and my ears are softer, so I believe your words?!" "Originally, He Jin had the opportunity to kill Zhang Rang, but it was a pity that he was fooled.

Zhang Rang's eyes rolled: "Grandfathers, what the little one said is true, I don't believe you will know if you go and ask the emperor......" The things that took away the little emperor were all done by Duan Jue, even if he asked, the young emperor would definitely only say that Duan Jue brought him out, and Zhang Rang had already arranged this.

Unexpectedly, Zu Zhao hated him to the bone, and he didn't listen to what he said at all, but just shouted coldly: "Traitor, tell me where the young emperor and King Chen Liuwang are, and I will let the brothers leave you with a whole corpse!" ”

When Zhang Rang heard this, his legs were weak, he looked back at the deep and rapid river, and then at the sharp knife in Zu Zhao's hand, and suddenly sighed: "The sky is going to kill me!" As soon as he turned around, he threw himself into the rushing river.

When he pounced, his head hit the reef, and the water suddenly turned red, and he was sure to die.

At this time, Zhang Yuan chased after him and asked Zu Zhao: "General, has Zhang Rang ever chased after him?" ”

Zu Zhao pointed to the river: "Throw into the water." ”

Zhang Yuan sighed and said, "It's really cheap, this gelding!" ”

"It's cheap, this gelding doesn't matter," Zu Zhao muttered, "The most important thing is that we haven't been able to find the Young Emperor and King Chen Liu." Now that Duan Qi and Zhang Rang are dead, no one can know the whereabouts of these two people. Although Zu Zhao knew the general trend of the situation, he was very unclear about the details. At the moment, I don't know where King Chen Liuwang and the young emperor went.

"Obviously, I still saw it before......" Zhang Yuan frowned.

"Let's look around," Zu Zhao commanded, "those two traitors must have hidden the young master so that they could leave a way out for themselves." ”

Zu Zhao and the others were bent on chasing after them at that time, but they didn't pay attention to when the young emperor and Chen Liuwang disappeared.

Just before they could start looking for someone, King Chen Liuwang had already taken the young emperor out of hiding and fled.

The two little children were not tall, and the well-known or unknown grass quickly overwhelmed their figures. After passing through the meadow, there was a big forest in secret, and the two children entered the forest, and it was not easy for Zu Zhao to talk to them again.

It's not a problem to go on like this, after all, there are still many things to do in the palace.

After getting dark, Zu Zhao recalled Zhang Yuan and said to him: "You go back and send a message to General Yuan, it's not a matter of consuming it like this, the young emperor and Chen Liuwang are not familiar with us, and probably don't know whether we are friends or enemies." You ask General Yuan to look for someone, and if they see it, Xu will come out by himself. ”

Zhang Yuan also knew that what Lu Dao Zuzhao said was reasonable, so he flew back and reported the situation to Yuan Shao.

Yuan Shao took his people to find the young emperor, and after connecting with Zu Zhao, the two acted together.

At this time, King Chen Liuwang and the young emperor had already run to an abandoned farmhouse, and saw a haystack inside, and the two spent the night here.
