Chapter 22, the Spirit Emperor died
"Wow——!" There was an uproar in the crowd of onlookers, and a single punch could smash a hole in the bluestone slab wall, what would happen if this punch hit a person? For a while, everyone couldn't help but worry about Zu Zhao, Zu Zhao had just been able to save the little drunkard, and in everyone's hearts, they still had a good impression of Zu Zhao.
Seeing that Zu Zhao dodged his punch, the strong man did not have the slightest surprise, grinned, and swung his fists towards Zu Zhao like rain.
In the face of the strong man's stormy attack, Zu Zhao could only dodge again and again, relying on his flexible footwork to avoid the strong man's attack, and occasionally get up and fly up, wanting to regain the advantage.
It's a pity that Zu Zhao's whipping leg method fell on the strong man, but it was painless and itchy, which made Zu Zhao very helpless.
Zu Zhao and the strong man competed, and neither side was injured, but it was the restaurant guys and officers and soldiers who were beaten down by the strong man before. Zu Zhao paid attention to his feet, jumped several times, and paid special attention to not touching those wounded people.
But the strong man has no taboos, no matter what he has under his feet, just settle down, several people have been stepped on by the strong man, and there are many injuries on his body.
It was the little drunkard before, sitting on the ground holding the wine jar alone, drinking wine, while watching the competition between Zu Zhao and the strong man around him, and clapping and applauding from time to time, it is estimated that the two of them are watching the competition as a performance to help the fun.
The fist blowing between the two blew on the little drunkard's body, and the little drunkard kept shouting: "Cool! It's cool! Fan the wind again! ”
That's it, Zu Zhao and the strong man attacked hundreds of moves in a row, but no one could help anyone, although Zu Zhao had gradually fallen behind, but with his flexible body, the strong man didn't hit him with a punch.
And although Zu Zhao hit the strong man many times, the strong man was not afraid of Zu Zhao's attack at all, at most, he only took a step or two back after being hit.
"Where? Where are the murderers? Get out of the way! Get out of the way! Just as the two were in the middle of the fight, another exclamation sounded from a distance, and at the same time there was a dense sound of footsteps, judging from this footstep, at least no less than two hundred people were rushing here.
Zu Zhao and the strong man stopped at the same time, turned their heads to look in the direction of the commotion, and it was obvious that the help of the officers and soldiers had arrived. Although the strong man said it was so arrogant just now, such troublesome things are still not good.
Immediately, the two glanced at each other, but as if they had a heart, they retreated three steps at the same time. The strong man said with a regretful face: "It's a pity! This time it's a tie! Looks like we'll have to decide the winner next time! ”
Zu Zhao knew in his heart that if he continued to fight, he would definitely lose, since the strong man said so, it could be regarded as saving face for himself, Zu Zhao also smiled and hugged his fists and said: "Don't worry!" There will be opportunities in the future! In Xia Zuzhao, the word Liechen! Dare to ask the name of the brother? ”
"Huh!" The strong man couldn't help but be stunned, but he reacted, laughed, hugged his fists and shouted: "Dare to love us to fight, but I don't know the name of the other party!" My name is Meng Zhan! ”
The footsteps and noise of the officers and soldiers coming from outside were getting closer and closer, and Meng Zhan did not dare to delay any longer. Immediately, Meng Zhan clasped his fists at Zu Zhao and shouted: "Brother Zu! There will be a meeting later! After speaking, Meng Zhan jumped directly upstairs on the outer floor, followed by a few jumps, and disappeared in a blink of an eye.
Zu Zhao was still in place and looked at Meng Zhan's back as he gradually melted into the night, and suddenly felt that his arm was pulled by something, and his whole body was pulled aside.
Zu Zhao turned his head to look, but it was the little drunkard who was originally sitting on the ground drinking, pulling his clothes to the side, and shouting: "What are you doing standing stupidly!" Don't run yet! ”
Zu Zhao was only stunned for a moment, and then followed the little drunkard in a daze and ran in the other direction. There were bursts of shouting and cheering from behind, and Zu Zhao understood. Although the guys in the restaurant and those officers and soldiers were not fought by him, but just now in full view of everyone, he was a brother and brother to the murderer Meng Zhan, and now that Meng Zhan has run away, those officers and soldiers are bound to take themselves to blame.
Listening to the noise coming from behind, Zu Zhao could only be dragged into the crowd by the little drunkard, not to mention, although the path chosen by the little drunkard made Zu Zhao a little dizzy, but it didn't take long for him to get into a small alley and get rid of those officers and soldiers.
Zu Zhao looked at the mouth of the alley and made sure that no one was chasing him, so he shrank back. Zu Zhao is okay, the little drunkard was a little out of breath after running just now, but what made Zu Zhao a little angry and funny was that even so, the little drunkard still hugged the wine jar tightly and refused to let go.
After taking a few deep breaths, the little drunkard calmed down, took a sip of the wine jar, and a trace of ruddy appeared on his face, but he stretched out his tongue and licked the remaining wine stains on his lips, which was very enjoyable. Seeing the appearance of this little drunkard, Zu Zhao couldn't help but smile bitterly, clenched his fists and said, "Thank you for your help just now, little brother!" ”
The little drunkard waved his hand without any concern and said, "Nothing! You saved my life just now, and now I'll take you out, everyone at a time, and it's all over! ”
Hearing the words of this little drunkard, Zu Zhao felt a little unsure of how to answer, looked left and right, and asked a little speechlessly: "Little brother, are you from Luoyang?" ”
The little drunkard glared at Zu Zhao angrily and said, "Big brother! Now we're on the run! It's really nothing important, so don't talk! ”
Being robbed of the little drunkard like this, Zu Zhao was suddenly speechless, squinting at the little drunkard pouring wine one after another as usual, thinking, just like you, can you be regarded as fleeing? However, Zu Zhao didn't say this, he simply sat on a small stone pier next to him, looked up at the night sky, and thought about what had just happened.
Zu Zhao never thought that he would encounter Meng Zhan in this situation, and now that he thinks about it, it is indeed not wrong. Recalling the fight with Meng Zhan just now, Zu Zhao couldn't help but sigh, this Meng Zhan is also a fierce general!
Suddenly, Zu Zhao couldn't help but smile bitterly, he even thought that he could receive Meng Zhan under his account, but now I am afraid it will be difficult to meet it again.
"Hey, hey, hey!" Seeing that Zu Zhao really ignored himself, the little drunkard stopped doing it again, shouted a few times in a row, called Zu Zhao back to his senses, and said: "I said, listening to your accent, it doesn't look like a Luoyang person, why did you come to Luoyang?" ”
Zu Zhao looked back at the little drunkard, who looked like a small ghost, and said with a smile: "Little brother, this is the question I just asked you, and you didn't answer my question, why should I answer you?" ”
The little drunkard didn't expect Zu Zhao to be able to say such a thing, but he made him speechless. In the end, he could only snort and mutter: "What's the big deal!" If you don't say it, you don't say it! With that, he turned around and drank to himself.
Looking at the little drunkard's temper tantrum, Zu Zhao just smiled faintly, but said, "Okay, little brother!" What if we all answer each other's questions, so that we don't suffer? You just heard my conversation with that strong man, my name is Zu Zhao! It's from Liaodong! What about you? ”
The little drunkard frowned, hesitated for a moment, and finally said, "Although it seems that I have suffered a little bit from this suggestion, forget it! Just let you take advantage of it! Remember, my name is Guo Jia, and the word is filial piety! It's from Yingchuan! ”
"Guo, Guo Jia? You say your name is Guo Jia? Zu Zhao almost didn't jump up, and suddenly his eyes widened and looked at the little drunkard in front of him, how could he not believe that this drunk-looking little drunkard would be a first-class strategist who would later become famous all over the world, the ghost Guo Jia! Zu Zhao first looked at Guo Jia from head to toe, and then simply circled around Guo Jia several times, looking back and forth, left and right.
Although Guo Jia was a little drunk, he was generally quite sober, and when Zu Zhao looked at him like this, of course, he was uncomfortable all over his body, so he just grabbed Zu Zhao's arm and scolded: "You, what are you doing!" ”
After being drunk like this by Guo Jia, Zu Zhao realized that he was too rude just now, so he scratched the back of his head embarrassedly, but his face was still full of suspicion, and he asked again: "You said your name is Guo Jia, is your name really Guo Jia?" Is it the Guo Jia of the word Fengxiao? You're not mistaken, are you? ”
Being asked by Zu Zhao so repeatedly, Guo Jia was annoyed even if he had a good temper, and when he directly pushed away Zu Zhao who was in front of him, he shouted: "Inexplicable! Of course my name is Guo Jia, and Guo Jia is not a very famous person, what am I doing pretending to be him? I'm not a fool, could I get my name wrong? ”
was scolded by Guo Jia like this, Zu Zhao believed that the little drunkard in front of him was really Guo Jia. At the thought that this little drunkard in front of him would become a top-notch strategist in the future, Zu Zhao's heart fluttered
Just ran away from a Meng Zhan, and now another Guo Jia is sent to the door. This Guo Jia doesn't seem to have taken refuge in anyone's account at this time! Thinking of this, Zu Zhao stared at Guo Jia with a pair of sparkling eyes, and asked with a smile: "Little brother! Why are you coming to Luoyang? ”
Seeing that Zu Zhao finally didn't look at him so strangely, Guo Jia turned around and drank with the wine jar again, and said while burping: "Me? The teacher just released me from the teacher recently, and I'm here to catch up with my old friend! But I didn't expect those boys to be all at home, and I don't know when Lu Dao will come back! It's a pity that I've run out of coils, and I can't leave if I want to! I was thinking of going to the outer building to eat a bully meal, but I didn't expect to meet the two of you, let me eat for nothing, and take such a jar of wine, it's really lucky! ”
Zu Zhao was speechless for a moment, daring to love this kid who was going to eat white food in the outer building! He is still so greedy for alcohol! God knows how many beatings this kid will have to suffer for that overlord meal in the restaurant if he hadn't met him and Meng Zhan today!
Glancing at Guo Jia's thin arms and legs, Zu Zhao really admired Guo Jia's boldness, and with his small body, he dared to eat the overlord meal!
However, Zu Zhao didn't delve into this aspect after thinking about it, and now that Guo Jia is in trouble, wouldn't it give Zu Zhao a better chance? Zu Zhaodang even put on a smile that he thought was the most handsome, stared at Guo Jia and said, "Little brother! If you're really hungry, why don't you come with me? ”
"Any wine?" Guo Jia said with a smile.
Zu Zhao smiled: "It's enough!" The two looked at each other and smiled, Zu Zhao knew that Lu Dao, as a first-class strategist of the Three Kingdoms at that time, Guo Jia was known as a ghost. It can be said that Cao Cao was able to lay such a deep foundation because of Guo Jia in the early stage.
It can be said that Guo Jia is really a big windfall for Zu Zhao's trip. I believe that no one would not want to be able to get this untimely death, but it is definitely no worse than Zhuge Kongming.
At the same time, Zu Zhao thought that he still needed to find Chen Gong, and this was bound to meet Cao Cao, if he said so, he would have to send Guo Jia back to Liaodong first, thinking of this, Zu Zhao said: "Fengxiao, I'll take you to a place." ”
And at this time, what Zu Zhao was thinking about day and night was happening in the palace.
"Your Majesty!" "Your Majesty!"
An exclamation came from the bedroom of Emperor Han in the palace, floating in the dark night sky. Liu Hong, Emperor of Han Ling, died on his dragon bed in the sixth year of Zhongping, that is, in April of the first year of A.D., at the age of thirty-six!
As an emperor and a ruler, Liu Hong is obviously very unqualified. But I'm afraid Liu Hong himself didn't expect that his death was announcing the advent of a new era!
It's like outside his dormitory, although it's so dark that you can't see your fingers, but soon, dawn will come, and it's a new day!
Although Jian Shuo, who had been guarding the side of Emperor Han, cried bitterly for Emperor Han Bintian, he ordered to strictly guard the news. But at this time, the henchmen installed by Yuan Shao before had secretly passed the news to Yuan Shao outside the palace. Not only Yuan Shao, but also other powerful forces also learned the news of the death of Emperor Han through various channels.
In the palace in a remote corner of the palace, Zhao Zhong, who had just learned the news from his subordinates' Xiao Huang Gate, said to Zhang Rang and the others in the palace with a gloomy face: "Your Majesty, Bintian!" ”
"Ahh Immediately, all the ten permanent servants in the hall exclaimed, but from their mouths, they could not hear any sad and sad emotions. Zhang Rangdang even asked, "Then who is there around Your Majesty now?" ”
Zhao Zhong is very meticulous in his work, he has just asked everything clearly, and said in a dark manner: "Who else can there be, of course it is that kid Jian Shuo!"
Jian Shuo, this kid, has already dispatched his Xiyuan Army to guard the dormitory under His Majesty, but in my opinion, he will definitely not be able to block the news of His Majesty's Bintian! ”
"That's nature!" Song Dian, who was beside Zhang Rang, immediately shouted, it seemed that Emperor Han died like this, and he didn't have to be as cautious as just now, "What is that ability?" Didn't you win the favor of Your Majesty by slapping the horse! Fighting with those ministers outside the palace, he is still a little tender! ”
"That's it!" Zhang Rang waved his hand and shouted directly: "I have received a reply from Dong Zhuo a few days ago, and he has now led a large army to be stationed in Hedong County!" As long as the big things are together, he will lead the army to Luoyang! Now His Majesty has been in the sky! It's time for us to get started! Song Dian! You go to Empress Dowager Dong right now, if I remember correctly, Empress Dowager Dong should have a lot of masters left to her by her biological father Xie Ting Hou back then! You go and instigate the Empress Dowager Dong and ask her to send those masters to Yongxiang Palace to see if you can distinguish Empress He and the prince! As he spoke, Zhang Rang made a gesture to wipe his throat.
Song Dian also smiled with the shadowy smile, nodded and said, "Understood!" Don't worry! I'll leave this matter to me! After speaking, Song Dian got up directly and walked towards the outside of the palace!
"Guo Sheng! You can go to Empress He immediately to find out the news, and if Empress Dowager Dong's assassin arrives, you can also see if you can help!" Be sure to kill Queen He and the prince! To get rid of the troubles! Zhang Rang turned his head and shouted at Guo Sheng on the other side. Similarly, Guo Sheng also nodded, stood up and walked out of the palace.
"Duan Jue!" Zhang Rang stared at Duan Jue, who was sitting at the end of the seat on the other side, and shouted: "You go to the palace gate now and keep an eye on it, be careful not to let people spread the news outside the palace!" Zhang Rang never expected that his order would be late, and now he is afraid that the news has reached He Jin through Yuan Shao's mouth!
Of course, the Ten Standing Servants didn't know about the matter, and thought that the news had been temporarily blocked by Jian Shuo, Duan Jue also nodded, just stood up and left the palace.
After the most reluctance, Zhang Rang turned his head to look at Zhao Zhong and said, "Zhao Zhong! You take the rest of the people to arrange the palace, and you must control the palace in our hands in the shortest possible time! This matter has reached the last moment, and I don't want Jian Shuo to get this cheap! ”
Zhao Zhongdang even shouted: "Okay! I'll go! After that, he took everyone else in the palace except Zhang Rang and walked out of the palace directly. For a while, in the palace that was still a little crowded, only Zhang Rang was left guarding the slightly cyan oil lamp.
Zhang Rang's arrangement immediately made the palace become a chicken, flying and jumping, and Guo Sheng trotted all the way to Queen He's Yongxiang Palace. Because of Guo Sheng's favored relationship with Queen He, Guo Sheng's entry into the use of thought, it can be said that it is unimpeded!
Rushed directly to the inner hall of Yongxiang Palace. Originally, Guo Sheng wanted to push open the temple door directly and enter as usual, but just when his hand just touched the palace door, a loud shout sounded like thunder in the back of his head: "What person!" ”
This loud shout frightened Guo Sheng, although over the years, Guo Sheng, as one of the ten permanent attendants, was majestic, and he didn't know how many bad things he had done. But one of Guo Sheng's biggest weaknesses is timidity, and now that he was frightened by this sound, Guo Sheng directly sat on the ground, looking around with a frightened face, but he didn't see a shadow!
"What's the matter?" Another voice sounded from the inner hall, but this time it was completely different from the previous loud shout, it was Queen He's slightly lazy voice.
Hearing Empress He's voice, Guo Sheng seemed to have seen a glimmer of light in the dark, and hurriedly shouted to the hall: "Niangniang! Empress! It's a minion! The slave is Guo Sheng! ”
"Oh! It's Guo Sheng! Then come in! Hearing Guo Sheng's voice, Queen He spoke again. At the beginning, Guo Sheng still didn't dare to move the palace door again, and the palace maids inside were a little impatient, so they directly opened the palace door and welcomed Guo Sheng into the inner hall.
As soon as he entered the inner hall, Guo Sheng breathed a long sigh of relief, gently stroked his chest, glared at the palace maid beside him, and asked, "Who were those people just now?" How can it be so rude? ”
The palace maid also seemed to know that Guo Sheng was very favored in front of Queen He, and when she even bowed to the ground, she said, "Go back to Lord Guo's words!" The guards outside are all newly added by the mother in the past few days, and I heard that they are all very powerful, but these days, the slaves and maids have not seen them once. ”
A new guard? Although Guo Sheng's face did not show any abnormality, in Guo Sheng's heart, it was a burst of overturning. I didn't expect Queen He to increase the guards around her at such a critical moment! Could it be that their plan was leaked?
Guo Sheng couldn't help but guess, but soon denied such a conjecture! If Empress He really found out their true identities, she would definitely send someone to take them down immediately, and Guo Sheng would be allowed to be here?
Guo Sheng couldn't figure out the purpose of Empress He's increase in guards, but no matter what reason Empress He added guards, Zhang Rang's plan to persuade Empress Dong to assassinate Empress Dowager just now didn't work!
As soon as he thought of this, Guo Sheng suddenly seemed to be deflated, originally Guo Sheng wanted to turn around and inform Zhang Rang, but he didn't expect that his feet had just stretched out a little bit towards the back, and Guo Sheng immediately felt that his body seemed to be frozen, and he couldn't move at all.
Guo Sheng could clearly feel that several eyes were staring at him tightly, and Guo Sheng was sure that as long as he turned around and left, he was afraid that he would be attacked by the masters of these eyes immediately!
"Damn! It seems that He Jin has been prepared for a long time! Guo Sheng scolded secretly in his heart, but he didn't dare to make any more strange moves, and walked directly towards the hall. Soon, he saw two figures sitting on the bed in the inner hall, and one of them was a charming woman, naturally the owner of this Yongxiang Palace, Queen He!
And the young man in Chinese clothes who was sitting next to Empress He, dozing off little by little, was the current Royal Highness of the Prince, the son of Empress He, and the nephew of the general He Jin, Liu Wei.
