"Haha, it's rare for a son to come to my house as soon as he returns to Beijing." In the hall of Zhu Jun's mansion, there was a hearty laugh.

"I'm surprised, too." Huangfu Song smiled slightly and agreed.

Of course, he knew why Zhu Jun was so happy, after all, as soon as Lu Zhi returned to Luoyang, he didn't go to anyone's house first, but came to Zhu Jun's house, which can already be regarded as a manifestation of a good relationship. Of course, Huangfu Song has no other emotions, whether Lu Zhi comes to Zhu Jun or goes to him, the result is the same.

Now, the three most important members of the court are gathered here.

"Oh?" Lu Zhi sat on the chair, and couldn't help but be stunned for a moment when he heard the words, but then he understood.

He couldn't help but smile bitterly and said, "It seems that Gongwei is very well-informed. ”

The bitterness on Lu Zhi's face is not fake, but from the heart, since he was ordered to go out of Beijing to lead the army to suppress the Yellow Turban Rebellion, until now, he has really returned to Luoyang City. Before this, even if the battle of Guangzong was won, he did not have the opportunity to return to Luoyang City, but was rewarded by the holy decree of Emperor Ling of Han, and then sent him out. He continued to lead the army to fight and continued to pursue the Yellow Turban Army, but this time the Yellow Turban Army was no longer like the regular army fighting in Guangzong City, and it became very slippery.

This time, he entered Beijing and returned to Luoyang, because the Yellow Turban Army he pursued fled into the mountains. It was Montenegro, and it wasn't just the Yellow Turbans, but there were also a large number of displaced people who fled with the Yellow Turbans.

Since the Yellow Turban Army entered the Black Mountain, Lu Zhi's pursuit and suppression operation has not progressed, and in the mountains, these soldiers under his command, no matter how elite they are, have no way to give full play to their advantages in the unfamiliar terrain. What's more, the Yellow Turban Army can defend the mountain, and Montenegro is not just a mountain, but a mountain, and once the Yellow Turban Army hides inside, it is extremely difficult to trace it.

The progress of the pursuit is very slow, and the progress of each day is so small that even Lu Zhi cannot accept it. But he did not blame his soldiers, fighting between the mountains was indeed not his soldiers' strength.

If you want to completely exterminate the Yellow Turban Army, it is estimated that it is impossible, and even if you want to do this, you will have to pay a very big price. The cost was so great that the tens of thousands of troops led by Lu Zhi were wiped out, and there was no way to do this, not to mention that every day the army was stationed near Montenegro, a steady stream of money and food had to be transported. By this month, the money and food had been reduced, and he had to make a choice, and he did not receive the king's order to enter Beijing, which was a reluctant move made by Lu Zhi.

"Zigan, you just entered Beijing and don't know that the current situation in Luoyang is changing, and even our two old guys have to keep their eyes open and distinguish carefully." Zhu Jun smiled, and the bitterness on his face was also obvious.

After Guangzong suppressed the Yellow Turban Rebellion, except for Lu Zhi, who was sent to continue to pursue the remnants of the Yellow Turban Army for unknown reasons, he and Huangfu Song were both retransferred back to Luoyang and returned to the court. Unlike when they left Luoyang, when they came back, they no longer had a military position, but had been transformed into an official position of a civilian official, although the official position was high, but the real power was not large.

"Is it really that serious?" Lu Zhi asked.

"Zigan should have entered Beijing in the past two days, right? But the early dynasty of the past two days was a closed dynasty, so Zigan came to us. This time it was Huangfu Song who spoke.

"Then let me tell you, the real situation is even more serious than this, do you believe it?"

After being silent for a while, Lu Zhi replied aloud: "I believe it." ”

If he didn't believe it, he wouldn't have come to Zhu Jun and Huangfu Song, two old friends. Lu Zhi usually doesn't want to trouble others, but once he has trouble, he will trouble those who can trust and solve trouble. It is just Zhu Jun and Huangfu Song who belong to people who can be trusted and can solve troubles.

"So what's going on in the palace?" He asked eagerly.

"Your Majesty, I'm afraid it's not going to work."

"Do you remember the light that appeared in Guangzong City when we were in Guangzong City?" Zhu Jun looked at Lu Zhi and continued to speak. "There should be no one who knows better than Zi Gan, because Zhang Jiao is the one who "died" in front of you and became the light in our eyes. ”

Lu Zhi nodded subconsciously, but immediately realized that something was wrong, Zhu Jun is now speaking, could it be that the change in the palace is because of Zhang Jiao? But at that time, the thief Dao Zhang Jiao disappeared in front of him, shattered into a dazzling white light, and finally disappeared.

Now that Lu Zhi closes his eyes, he can still clearly depict the light he saw at that time in the darkness in front of him. It was a light he had never seen in his life. Lu Zhi had seen a lot of morning light, sunset light, including firelight, but he had only seen the light that appeared from the human body, the white light that appeared in the deepest darkness.

Wait, Lu Zhi's eyes suddenly lit up, and his mouth kept muttering, "Disappear... disappear...". Oh, yes! It's gone, Zhang Jiao just disappeared in front of his eyes, it wasn't death, at least, he didn't see Zhang Jiao's body.

Zhu Jun observed Lu Zhi's expression and asked, "Did Zigan think of it?" ”

"We're not the only ones who see that light. In Luoyang City, in the palace, there are many eunuchs and palace maids who serve at night. ”

"So, can we think like this, Zhang Jiao is dead, but he appeared in the palace before he died."

"Impossible!" After listening to Zhu Jun's words, a ridiculous feeling rose in Lu Zhi's heart, and Huo Ran stood up.

"Nothing is impossible." Huangfu Song, who was sitting opposite Lu Zhi, spoke, with a deep meaning.

He said: "When we exterminated the Yellow Turban Army, we saw too many impossibilities, but those were all impossible in our eyes in the past. But it's possible, so what else do you think is impossible? ”

"At least the thief is open, maybe it's not the thief in our eyes, the thief who fools the uninformed village husband and woman."

"Impossible...," Lu Zhi muttered, his eyes looked at the two friends in front of him, and suddenly realized the strangeness. At least in the past, they would never have said such a thing

He sat back in the chair in a dejected state, yes, he had seen too many impossibilities, and it seemed that many things were no longer as impossible as before. It's just that he can't accept it, no matter what, to accept a person who disappeared in front of him, a person who is identified as dead, crossed a distance of thousands of miles, and appeared in another place with heavy guards, and it is absolutely impossible for people to come and go at will.

"Why didn't you tell me earlier?" Lu Zhi's eyes became sharp, and his lost mind was reassembled in an instant.

This was not the time for him to be depressed, and it was not the time to come up with countless reasons to explain what he didn't understand. When he had that time, he might as well think about how the situation in front of him could be resolved.

If there is no king in the court, Lu Zhi can imagine what will happen. What's more, the general of the DPRK and the central government, the struggle between the two factions of the Ten Standing Servants is becoming more and more intense, although he also has a desire to kill Lu Zhi as soon as possible, but he definitely does not want to use the most violent means, and the impact caused by that is difficult to erase.

The most important thing now is the change of imperial power. Yes, Lu Zhi has already thought of this, with his understanding of Zhu Jun and Huangfu Song, he knows that the two will not easily say the word no. They say, but it's really not going to work.

Zhu Jun and Huangfu Song looked at each other and smiled bitterly, but finally Zhu Jun opened his mouth, he said, "Tell you? Zigan, we only recently found out. Besides, we don't know that you will return to Luoyang, and it is estimated that the person sent to deliver the letter to you has only just arrived with you. ”

Lu Zhi knew that he had misunderstood the two of them, but now he didn't care about this, but asked, "So that's the case, so what are Gongwei and Yizhen going to do?" ”

Zhu Jun and Huangfu Song glanced at each other again, and the change in Lu Zhi's expression just now fell in the eyes of the two of them, and they could also guess Lu Zhi's final mentality. This was much quicker than the two of them had come to their senses of shock when they first learned the news. They didn't have much time, compared to others, the speed at which the three of them learned the news was far behind, whether it was the great general He Jin or the ten permanent servants, the power in the palace was beyond their reach.

In the end, they were not kept in the dark, so that they could not know anything, which doomed them to have a chance to enter the arena and participate in this upheaval.

Upheaval, it's upheaval. Lu Zhi, Zhu Jun and Huangfu Song all understood that this was a drastic change, but the upheaval had not yet begun, and it was only the eve now. The eve is always the calmest, the most waveless moment, just like in the old days in Gwangjong City, and the eve of the real siege is so calm, just like an ordinary night.

"I wasn't prepared, and I couldn't prepare." Huangfu Song said an answer that made Lu Zhi cry and laugh.

"The military power of the army in Luoyang City is basically in the hands of the general and the ten permanent servants. If a mutiny happens, there is nothing we can do. ”

"Oh, yes." Zhu Jun continued to add: "I and Yizhen Mansion will have more than a dozen veterans who have retired from the army, but they can be put on the battlefield. ”

"What about you? Zigan returned to Luoyang this time, did he lead the army back? ”

"Nope." Lu Zhi replied with an answer that Zhu Jun and Huangfu Song had expected.

"When I entered Beijing this time, there were only twenty or thirty personal guards, and this was specially brought because of the threat of aliens." Lu Zhi added.

He did not enter Beijing under the edict, which is already taboo, and if he brings the army again, it will almost be regarded as a rebellion. On the contrary, it is excusable to bring some personal guards, which is the power of every official, after all, no one knows whether they will be targeted by those vicious aliens.

As for Zhu Jun and Huangfu Song, the military positions are no longer on their bodies, let alone being able to transfer troops. Even when they are in the military, they can't easily transfer troops, and they all have to have tiger charms and edicts. As for the accumulation of private soldiers, who would dare to do that?

In this way, the soldiers who gathered the three of them in Luoyang who could be mobilized, could also be used, and could fight in a battle could barely be called nearly a hundred. What can this force do?

It's better than nothing.

Lu Zhi smiled bitterly, his eyes flashed, and he slowly spit out two words in his mouth: "Inhuman." ”

"We can use the power of Inhumans."

"Ahh Yun Ting sneezed, reached out and touched his nose, and finally the itchy feeling of his nose was gone.

He looked at Shi A, who was sitting opposite him, with a confused expression, and asked, "Senior brother, what did you just say?" I didn't hear clearly. ”

A black line obviously appeared on Shi A's forehead, if it wasn't for Yun Ting turning his head fast just now, I am afraid that he would have been covered with snot by now. Although Yun Ting is his junior brother, Shi Ah doesn't want to have this kind of intimacy, so intimate that he can catch the other party's snot and still be as calm as ever.

"The little junior brother has already sent out the news, saying that let's prepare and get ready to sneak into the palace at any time. Now the ten permanent servants are very active in the palace, according to the little junior brother, after the emperor woke up again, he also secretly met with Zhang Rang. Shi Ah repeated what Yun Ting had not finished listening to before. The little junior brother in his mouth refers to the princes of the Beacon Fire Opera, in fact, Yun Ting was a junior brother before, but now his junior brother has changed again and has become a prince.

Shi A has never been used to it, and he doesn't want to change his habits, in his opinion, the princes of the Beacon Opera have always made that sometimes lowly little junior who needs to be taught a lesson.

"It seems that the princes of the Beacon Opera are doing well in the palace?" Yun Ting's face became extraordinarily exciting, and the players who could mix so well in the palace were probably the only ones among the princes of the Beacon Theater.

This is precisely the reason why the princes of the Beacon Opera are ready to stop this great change, not because of the nostalgic wealth in the palace, but because of the people who gave him all this. His feelings for Liu Wei are already close brothers, and for brothers, the princes of Beacon Opera will always have an attitude of not abandoning and not giving up.

Having such a friend, a senior brother, is really a headache. But it seems that Yun Ting did not have any troubles, anyway, the princes of the Beacon Opera are such a person, he has long been extremely familiar with them, this is not something that can be changed by the princes of the Beacon Opera once, no matter how many times they change, Yun Ting believes that the princes of the Beacon Opera will still be the same.

Inhuman. Most of the aborigines will only speculate infinitely about how bad the Inhumans are, and they don't even notice that there are still good people among the Inhumans.
