The status of Yong'an Palace in Luoyang has always been closely related to the owner who moves in.

Previously, when the first emperor Liu Hong was in power, it was the first emperor's biological mother Empress Dowager Dong who stayed in Yong'an Palace, although the status of Yong'an Palace had several ups and downs, but in Luoyang, it was still a place that no one dared to underestimate.

Today, staying in Yong'an Palace is He Wan, the queen of the former emperor Liu Hong, and now the Empress Dowager He. The Luoyang government and the opposition all know that this Empress Dowager He was degraded by Dong Zhuo, the imperial lieutenant who dominated the court, and staying in Yong'an Palace means being excluded from the Luoyang court.

Correspondingly, the eunuchs, palace maids, and guards in Yong'an Palace are inferior even with their status, and the commander of the guards is no exception.

Therefore, when Lu Bu, the general of the expedition to the north, led his troops into the palace brazenly, the commander of the guards and all the guards were only a little tougher, and they were suppressed by Lu Bu with a more tough attitude, so that they did not dare to resist at all.

At this time, the commander of the Su Guard and the Su Wei behind him, facing Lu Bu's Fang Tian Painting Halberd, the only thought in his mind was, don't annoy this killing god, otherwise, if Fang Tian's Painting Halberd is swept away, he will die!

Everyone doesn't have to think about it to know that one side is the guard of Yong'an Palace, and the other side is the general of Zhengbei who has the heavy weapon of the hussar general, and the difference in status is clear there, even if all the guards are killed by Lu Bu, he probably has nothing to do.

Hearing the cold snort of the general of Zhengbei, Lu Bu, the commander of the Su Guard, his heart jumped with a bang, and he almost went black in front of his eyes, and fell to the ground softly, but fortunately, the next moment, he clearly saw that Lu Bu, the general of Zhengbei, took back the Fang Tian painting halberd that flashed with a ghostly light, and in an instant. His little heart was pounding uncontrollably, and his blood was desperately rushing to his head, making him dizzy and almost falling to the ground.

"Humph! A bunch of rubbish! The arrest of the assassin actually caused a mess inside and outside the palace! ”

Hearing the general of Zhengbei Lu Bu scolding so mercilessly, the commander of the Su Guard was ecstatic, but he didn't care at all, his feet were weak, his hands trembled, and he gave a salute. Wei Wei promised: "General, general, learn a lesson, it's ......"

Lu Bu unceremoniously interrupted him and ordered sharply, "Order all the guards." Guarding the gates everywhere without my military orders. No one is allowed to enter or leave! ”

"No!"

The commander of the guards straightened his waist. Loudly promised, and with this shout, he felt that Liliang was back in his body, as if he had a backbone all of a sudden.

Deal with the guards of Yong'an Palace, plus nearly a hundred personal soldiers scattered into more than 20 groups and suppressed them everywhere. The chaos in the Yong'an Palace was immediately contained.

Lu Bu asked where Empress Dowager He and King Hongnong were, and led his entourage to go straight over. It turned out that after the grand ceremony, Empress Dowager He and King Hongnong returned to Yong'an Palace. Soon after the break, several Assassins entered the palace, and after their whereabouts were revealed, the Assassins were hiding somewhere, while Empress Dowager He and King Hongnong and his party were escorted in a side hall.

This side hall is located in the northeast corner of Yong'an Palace, not far from the main hall where Empress Dowager He lived, and the side hall where King Hongnong lived.

At this time, Li Ru had not yet arrived, and Lu Bu estimated that Li Ru had already arrived, but he was blocked outside the palace by his own soldiers and couldn't enter for a while.

Lu Bu didn't care about this, with a wave of his hand, he ordered a dozen or so entourages to guard outside the door, and took the remaining six people into the hall in a big stride, shouting as he walked: "Queen Mother, where is King Hongnong?" ”

Immediately, a eunuch came out, Lu Bu entered, landed on one knee, Fang Tian put the halberd at his feet, and said loudly: "Minister, Lu Bu, the general of the expedition to the north, was ordered by the hussar general, to protect the queen mother and the king of Hongnong, to arrest the assassins, I have seen the queen mother, the king of Hongnong!" ”

Hongnong Wang Liu Wei is only less than fifteen years old at the moment, one year younger than Ma Chao, a young general of Xiliang, but his face is full of childishness and horror, and he is hiding behind his mother, Empress Dowager He, trembling, without the vigor and heroism of Ma Chao.

Lu Bu sighed secretly in his heart, and recognized the evaluation of the late Taiwei Dong Zhuo, Hongnong King Liu Wei was indeed much inferior to Dong Hou Liu Xie.

It is precisely because of this that Lu Bu has always had a doubt in his heart, and he can't understand why Dong Zhuo must be abolished.

It stands to reason that as a powerful minister like Dong Zhuo, it is more convenient for a person like Liu Bian, the king of Hongnong, to sit on the throne than the son of Liu Xie, the king of Hongnong, because Liu Bian, the king of Hongnong, has a cowardly personality and is easier to manipulate.

"Lu Qing has a meritorious role in rescuing the driver, and he is flat!"

Hearing Empress Dowager He's calm and soft words, Lu Bu put away his thoughts, promised a promise, grabbed Fang Tian's halberd, stood up, under the light of the lamp and candle, he held Fang Tian's halberd, standing on the ground, it was really majestic and heroic.

Even Liu Wei, the king of Hongnong, saw Lu Bu so calm as a mountain, and the horror in his heart went most of it at once.

Lu Buhuan swept his eyes and ordered in a deep voice: "Except for the queen mother and the chamberlain and palace maids of King Hongnong, all the rest of the palace have retreated, and those who do not obey the order will be regarded as fellow assassins and beheaded!" ”

As soon as the words fell, several eunuchs and palace maids immediately passed around Lu Bu and walked out of the hall tremblingly, but the dozen or so guards in the hall looked at each other, and finally one of them stood up and said to Lu Bu: "General Yu, the inferior people are under the order of the commander to protect the Queen Mother and the King of Hongnong......"

Lu Bu swept his eyes coldly, and interrupted him in a cold voice: "The responsibility of guarding the Empress Dowager Hongnong Wang, with the presence of this general, the commander of the Su guard has been ordered by this general to guard the gates of the palace and get out!" ”

While saying this, Lu Bu raised his right hand lightly, and the Fang Tian Painting Halberd in his hand lightly slammed on the ground, making a muffled sound.

Seeing that the guards were still hesitating there, Lu Bu raised his eyebrows, and his voice was as cold as ice: "What, do you want General Ben to kill you here?!" ”

As soon as Lu Bu's words fell, the six personal soldiers who followed behind him took a step forward in unison, and the long knives in their lowered hands were also raised.

It's just such a step-by-step action, but everyone in the hall has an illusion, as if there are not just six people in front of them, but thousands of troops. The brazen momentum made the faces of the guards who bore the brunt of the attack pale, hesitated for a moment, and still bypassed Lu Bu and his own soldiers one after another, and rushed out of the hall.

In the main hall, in addition to the Empress Dowager He, King Hongnong and a beautiful girl, there are only seven eunuchs and maids left, eight palace maids, under the authority of Lu Bu, no one dares to speak, even the Empress Dowager He, at this moment also feels the other side of Lu Bu, and the gentle image of the smile that he has seen is very different.

Lu Bu took a step forward and said to the Empress Dowager He: "The minister asks the Empress Dowager to appoint a safe chamberlain to point out the road in the palace for the minister, so that the assassin can be arrested!" ”

Hearing Lu Bu say this, Empress Dowager He's face immediately showed joy, but in an instant, she returned to her original solemnity and composure, nodded towards the seven chamberlains who were standing, stretched out her hand and pointed at one of them, and commanded: "Mu Shun!" ”

Mu obeyed the voice and knelt down to listen to the order.

"And go with the general of Zhengbei, and indicate the details in the palace, there must be no mistakes!"

Since he was the chamberlain designated by the Empress Dowager He, Lu Bu knew that this Mu Shun should be the person that the Empress Dowager He could trust, so he immediately swept his eyes around, turned around and ordered: "You stay in the palace and protect the Empress Dowager and King Hongnong, there must be no mistake!" ”

After the order, Lu Bu said goodbye to Empress Dowager He and King Hongnong, and strode out of the hall, while Mu Shun followed behind him with low eyebrows, very deferential.

Estimating that everyone in the hall could no longer hear it, Lu Bu heard Mu Shun behind him whisper: "General, the slave family was ordered by the Queen Mother to deliver a letter to the general in the Jiade Palace. ”

"Hmm!" Lu Bu also lowered his voice, and answered without looking back, "The maids in the palace, can you distinguish clearly?" ”

"Yes!" Mu Shun replied in a low voice, "Firewood, passages, carriages, and wine jugs are all prepared in the palace. ”

Lu Bu nodded slightly and praised: "Okay, I will be in the palace later, act when I see the opportunity, everything is with the general Ben, don't mess up!" ”

In Mu Shun's whispered reply, the two came to the outside of the hall, the noise in various places in the Yong'an Palace had gradually subsided at this moment, and the dozen or so personal soldiers left by Lu Bu outside the hall were still guarding the door, looking around with fierce eyes.

"Newspaper~"

The long sound of the report came from far and near, Lu Bu looked up, and saw a personal soldier rushing over, knowing that it must be Li Ru who had arrived, and ordered without looking back: "You have good courage, and go back to the palace, and you will act later, you will do it yourself, and the rest of the idle people, etc., let them stay away, so as not to make a mistake in a big matter, understand?" ”

Mu Shun replied respectfully and turned to enter the hall.

The soldiers rushed to Lu Bu and said breathlessly: "General, Mr. Li asks to see you." ”

Lu Bu nodded, and ordered expressionlessly: "Well, okay, bring him in!" After speaking, he quickly added: "Alone! ”

The soldiers responded to the promise, immediately turned around, and ran back and forth.

After a while, the two pro-soldiers came in hurriedly with Li Ru, who looked a little uncertain, Lu Bu stepped forward, waved his hand, ordered the two pro-soldiers to go away, and whispered to Li Ru: "Brother Wenyou, you are here, how about it, you can do it, the guards in the palace, the chamberlains and the palace maids, I can't suppress it for too long." ”

Li Ru was a little angry in his heart, but in front of Lu Bu, he was not good at attacking, and it was not good to accuse Lu Bu's personal soldiers behind his back, so he could only swallow this breath and replied in a low voice: "Everything is ready, and Confucianism has also brought everything you need." ”

"Good, good!"

Lu Bu's face showed excitement, and he said yes in a loud voice, pulled Li Ru's sleeve, and walked to the palace, saying as he walked: "The Queen Mother and King Hongnong are here, hurry up and get this done, so that you can go back and make up for sleep." ”

Li Ru smiled, as if he agreed with Lu Bu's words, took out a small paper bag from his arms, carefully handed it to Lu Bu, and instructed: "This is what the envoy needs, it will not attack for a while, and after two hours, the effect of the medicine will come out." ”

Lu Bu nodded solemnly, took the small paper bag, held it in his hand, and walked into the hall with Li Ru. (To be continued......)
