The outer wall of the Luoyang Palace has been repaired, and the red palace walls are connected into a line, showing endless luxury. Standing outside the palace gate and looking up at the palace wall, you can feel a little bit of the glory of the past.

But when they entered the palace, what caught Liu Wei and Deng Zhan's eyes was gloomy.

The trees and flower beds on both sides of the road have long been roasted to death by the fire, and only the vigorous weeds have stubbornly pulled out their buds after the fire, and now they are luxuriant.

In order to replant the trees and flowers, the craftsmen uprooted all the dead trees, and many of the dead trees that had been uprooted had not been dragged away, and were piled up in the corners of the walls, scorched black, which was very incompatible with the grandeur of the court.

"I'm afraid it will take a lot of time for this palace to be renovated!" Walking on the path in the palace, Liu Wei looked at the dilapidated scenes on both sides, and said to Deng Zhan beside him: "This king and Tang Ji escaped from the palace along this path. ”

After walking a short distance, he raised his hand and pointed to the charred black clearing in front of him, and said to Deng Zhan: "This king still remembers that he once killed an innocent person who pulled night incense, and the body was hidden there. ”

Thinking of the Yunye Xiang servant who was killed by him that day, Liu Bian's heart was full of throbbing. In order to survive, in order to change into a shirt that would allow him to escape from the palace, he killed an unarmed man. He was not a murderous villain, and for many days, whenever he remembered the night he escaped from Luoyang, the face of the servant who pulled the night incense would appear in front of his eyes.

He didn't remember the man's name anymore, only that it was a very simple man.

From Liu Wei's expression, Deng Zhan could see a little unbearable. He bowed slightly, and while walking forward with Liu Bian, he said to Liu Bian: "Your Highness killed people that day in order to go out of the city with the princess. If this person knew that His Royal Highness had now killed Dong Zhuo and pacified Dong Zhuo's rebellion, he would be dumbfounded when he wanted to come to Quanxia. ”

"Everyone wants to live!" Liu Wei turned his head, squeezed out a slightly bitter smile at Deng Zhan, and said to him: "Everyone is dead, there is no war in this world, and it has nothing to do with them." If a person has a spirit, I don't know how many unjust souls hate this king under the nine springs. ”

At this point, Liu Wei waved his hand and said to Deng Zhan: "Don't talk about this, just now this king told General Deng that this king has something to discuss with the general. ”

"Your Highness is driven, and your subordinates will never give up!" Liu Wei once again mentioned that he had something important to discuss with Deng Zhan, and Deng Zhan hurriedly stopped, hugged his fists and bowed in response.

Several soldiers who pressed the hilt of their swords and followed behind Liu Wei and Deng Zhan also stopped when they saw Deng Zhan stop.

Liu Wei, who had already taken two steps forward, turned to look at Deng Zhan and said to him: "On the battlefield, the army rushes and fights for courage and strategy. The king's plan is to ask General Deng to draw another 500 people from Yulin Weizhong to train them for surprise attacks in the future! ”

"What does Your Highness mean?" When Liu Wei said this, Deng Zhan raised his head and asked him with a stunned expression: "If there is another battle in the future, it is inconvenient for the army to act, so it will surprise the enemy army with a small number of soldiers and horses?" ”

"It's not just a raid!" Liu Wei smiled slightly, waved his hand at Deng Zhan, and said to him: "This kind of tactic has a purpose, and it is called special operations. General Deng may not have heard of it, but later in the evening, this king will talk to the general in detail. ”

"No eyes!" Liu Wei and Deng Zhan were talking, and a little farther away from them, there was a strong man's scolding, and then Liu Wei and the others heard a loud slap of "snap".

Turning his head to look in the direction of the scolding, what greeted everyone's eyes was a half-grown child about eleven or twelve years old, who was pulled by the collar by a stout man and slipped up.

The boy was thin and small, and the strong man carried him as if he were carrying a little chick. His whole body was lifted, and his two feet couldn't even touch the ground on their toes.

"The eyes are long, the ass is on!" The strong man obviously didn't notice that Liu Wei and the others were looking at him, holding the child's collar in one hand and slapping it with the other, making a gesture to hit again.

The strong man scolded as he slapped the kid in the face. Just as his arm was rounded, a girl of about fifteen or sixteen years old suddenly rushed out from the side.

The girl rushed to the strong man, screamed, and with all her strength, hit the strong man's waist and ribs.

Picking up his arm, he was about to whip the kid when he was hit on the cold waist and eye. The strong man staggered a few steps and sat on the ground.

The child who was pulled up by his collar also fell down with him, and his little head happened to hit the strong man's lips.

The skin of the lips is thin, and the bones of the head are unusually hard. This knock made the strong man's tears flow, his lips were also broken, and his mouth was instantly covered with blood.

"Damn, look for death!" The mouth was broken, and the strong man pushed the child who was pressing on him to the side, got up, spat bloody spit on the ground, cursed vaguely, and walked towards the girl who hit him.

Seeing the strong man walking towards the girl, Deng Zhan, who was standing beside Liu Wei, wrinkled his brows, pressed the hilt of his sword, and walked towards the strong man.

Liu Wei did not stop Deng Zhan, and several of the soldiers who followed him saw Deng Zhan walking towards the strong man, and two of them wanted to follow, but Liu Wei raised his hand to stop them.

Bumped the strong man's head, the girl was also frightened, and when the strong man walked towards her, she opened her eyes in horror and kept retreating.

was hit by the girl on the waist, not only did he fall, but his lips were also broken, and the strong man was full of anger. His eyes widened, and he strode over to the girl, and slapped the frightened girl in the face.

His arm was raised, but it didn't fall, because as he was about to slap him, his other hand suddenly reached out from his side and grabbed his wrist tightly.

"What kind of hero is Your Excellency who bullies children and women?" Holding the strong man's wrist tightly, Deng Zhan twisted his brows and said to him in a cold voice: "If Your Excellency wants to fight, how about accompanying a certain fight?" ”

Deng Zhan grabbed the strong man's wrist, and the girl who was almost slapped stared at her in horror, and hurriedly ran to the child who had just been picked up by the strong man, hugged the child tightly in his arms, and looked at the strong man and Deng Zhan who were standing opposite each other with fear on her face.

"Damn, do you want to die?" The wrist was caught, the strong man twisted his brows, scolded, glared at Deng Zhan viciously, and twisted his wrist violently, wanting to throw Deng Zhan aside.

But he twisted it, but he didn't throw Deng Zhan away, but with a crisp sound of "click", he howled miserably, and his other hand tightly held the wrist that was grabbed by Deng Zhan, and as soon as his body was short, he wanted to squat down.

The strong man let out a miserable howl, Deng Zhan no longer grabbed him, let go of his hand, and said coldly to the strong man: "No matter what, a big man beats children and women, after all, he is at fault!" ”

As he spoke, he took out more than a dozen copper coins from his arms, threw them in front of the strong man, and whispered to him: "Take the money, find a healer to take the bones, and get out!" ”

Holding the wrist that was twisted by Deng Zhan, the strong man was in a cold sweat. He didn't want to pick up the copper coins that Deng Zhan threw on the ground, but he had no money on him, and those who wanted to come to the doctor would not treat him.

Glancing at Deng Zhan with resentful eyes, the strong man grabbed the copper coin on the ground, hugged his arms and ran quickly.

"Why did he hit you?" Only saw the girl hitting the strong man, but didn't see why the strong man hit the child, Deng Zhan walked up to the girl and the child who were hugging each other, and asked the child, "Have you done something wrong?" ”

"Hmm!" Looking up at Deng Zhan, the child opened his eyes wide, nodded honestly, and said to Deng Zhan timidly: "He asked for wood, I didn't see it...... I bumped into him while handing the wood......"

As he spoke, the child arched into the arms of the girl behind him, and looked at Deng Zhan timidly, as if the girl's arms were a harbor that could protect him from infringement.

"You're looking for a living here, too?" Furrowing his brows, he pointed to the palace that was being renovated, and Deng Zhan asked the child.

What Deng Zhan didn't expect was that the girl and the child nodded at the same time. When Deng Zhan showed a trace of resentment on his face and asked if the child was also doing groceries in the palace, the girl hurriedly pushed away the child she was holding in her arms, threw herself at Deng Zhan's feet, knelt in front of him, grabbed Deng Zhan's ankles with dirty hands, and two lines of tears instantly slipped down her cheeks, and two tear troughs flowed out on her dusty face.

"Sir, don't let people drive us away!" The dirty little hands tightly grasped Deng Zhan's ankles, the girl's knees rubbed forward, crying and said to Deng Zhan: "In the future, our sister and brother will not make trouble again, if you want to catch up, you will drive me away, let my brother stay here, and have something to eat!" Even if I starve to death, I am grateful for the great virtue of Mr. ”

Looking down at the tear-stained girl kneeling in front of him, Deng Zhan reached out to help her up and asked her, "How many people here are like you who come to do this kind of work at such an age?" ”

was helped up by Deng Zhan, the girl shook her head blankly, opened her eyes that were still tearful because she had just cried, and stared at Deng Zhan, but did not speak.

When she saw Deng Zhan's cheeks, which had been carved with a little frost, the girl's heart twitched suddenly, and she immediately lowered her head again.

Seeing that the girl didn't speak, Deng Zhan already understood that there were not a few children like their sisters and brothers in the vicinity. He sighed softly, turned around and walked over to Liu Wei and the others who were waiting for him on the road.

The girl who had just been rescued by Deng Zhan, seeing that Deng Zhan left without speaking, hurriedly pulled her younger brother and followed him.

After walking a few steps, Deng Zhan felt that someone was following behind him, glanced back, and saw that the sister and brother had followed, so he waved his hand at the sister and brother, and said to them as pleasantly as possible: "Go back, don't follow so-and-so!" ”

Deng Zhan was originally a swordsman, and he was full of a murderous aura, although he wanted to show a pleasant face, but as soon as he spoke, he still inevitably had a little murderous aura.

The girl and the child who was held in her arms hung their heads at the same time almost the moment Deng Zhan turned around, and they didn't even dare to look at him more.
