Putting down the letter, Empress Dowager Dong no longer had a trace of worry. Since they are here to protect themselves, she doesn't need to worry about anything now, besides, even the emperor once issued an edict to Dong Zhuo, which also proves that Dong Zhuo is a courtier who can be trusted.

In addition, it is true that the emperor died a little too strangely, which is a point that Empress Dowager Dong has always suspected. Unfortunately, before he could continue his investigation, she had to leave the palace and go to the river.

"Can you let all these palace maids go?" Empress Dowager Dong glanced at the trembling palace maids, and there was a trace of unbearability in her eyes.

These palace maids are usually responsible for her daily life, and the grass and trees will have feelings, let alone people? Empress Dowager Dong hoped that if she could, these palace maids could live without repeating the same ending as those eunuchs.

This incident, the fact that she was rescued, it is impossible for others to know about it, and no news can be leaked. In order not to leak the news, it is also necessary to make some people shut their mouths, especially these palace maids, who cannot make them return to Luoyang City and return to the palace.

Once they go back and bring back the news, the He family in the palace will naturally know the fact that she was rescued. At that time, it became extremely difficult to do something.

After reading the letter, Empress Dowager Dong's disgust for Empress He and the woman He has reached a very deep level. If you can go back to the beginning, when the emperor accepted He as a concubine and wanted to canonize her as the queen, no matter what, even if she turned her face with the emperor, she would not be able to make He become the queen!

"This..."Hua Xiong was a little embarrassed.

Hua Xiong's embarrassed expression was seen by the Empress Dowager Dong, and she also knew that this request was indeed a little excessive, including herself, which was unacceptable. So Empress Dowager Dong changed her words and said, "Is it okay to take these palace maids away together?" It just so happens that the mourning family also needs palace maids to serve, and it is a good choice to let them leave with the mourning family. ”

After speaking, Empress Dowager Dong looked at Hua Xiong.

When Empress Dowager Dong said this, the cavalrymen who heard her conversation with Hua Xiong were extremely depressed at this moment. If these palace maids leave with them and follow the Empress Dowager Dong, then wouldn't they have no chance to start?

Women, these palace maids are not good goods that can be seen in Liangzhou. If you can't eat the meat in your mouth like this, it's really a pity. But all the cavalrymen only thought this in their hearts, and no one really made a sound.

Yes is yes, no can be no, they don't have much choice.

Hua Xiong was still extremely embarrassed on the surface, but he was snickering in his heart, this is also what Li Ru ordered, no matter what it is, as long as it is the request of the Empress Dowager Dong, you can agree. However, don't be so quick to agree, and make a very difficult appearance.

It's just to take these palace maids away, and there are some troubles in this matter, but it is far from being difficult. In Hua Xiong's opinion, there are just some problems in scheduling, as long as he finds a place near Luoyang City, let Empress Dowager Dong and those palace maids live in it.

It is impossible in the barracks, and if the barracks are heavy, if women live in them, there will be a lot of problems. In particular, Hua Xiong knows very well what kind of goods the soldiers under his command are, and there will be no problems in a short period of time, but after a long time, there will definitely be problems.

"Okay." His face was very reluctant, but in the end, Hua Xiong agreed with great embarrassment.

Those palace maids who were waiting for the judgment of fate finally saw the dawn of hope, and the worries in their hearts finally disappeared. Although I don't know what the future holds, with the Empress Dowager Dong here, it won't be like the six gods and no master like before.

"Whole army, go and help the Queen Mother prepare for the car!" Hua Xiong ordered to go down and enter the pavilion, and his soldiers only killed people, and none of the other things were destroyed. The reason is that after finding the Empress Dowager Dong, you can let the Empress Dowager Dong ride, otherwise Hua Xiong doesn't think that the Empress Dowager Dong can still ride a horse.

The cavalry began to get busy, and those palace maids also began to walk out of the pavilion in an orderly manner under the command of the palace maids beside the Empress Dowager Dong. Soon there were fewer and fewer people in the whole pavilion, until no one showed up again, and the silence unique to the night was restored.

It's still dark, very dark, and that's why Hua Xiong came at night. The night can cover up a lot of things, including people, including things, and it can be hidden under the night.

Taking advantage of the darkness to come, and taking advantage of the darkness to leave, there is almost no one outside. If there is no one, no one will find them, and they can go all the way back to the barracks.

As for this pavilion? The darkness alone could not make the traces of it disappear. Hua Xiong is not only good at killing, but also good at setting fires, both of which are the best ways to hide traces.

The pavilion began to burn, filled with flames, and after Hua Xiong and the others left, the fire gradually spread, becoming a bright place in the dark night. With such a vigorous degree of burning, soon, all traces in the pavilion will be turned to ashes in the flames, whether it is a dead person or a living person hiding without being found, the fate will be the same.

This is actually the last method that Hua Xiong will use, killing people and setting fires, if he can't find the Empress Dowager Dong, then the final pavilion will end with such a flame. In the end, no matter how noble the Empress Dowager Dong is, as the Empress Dowager, the end is just the same as those wooden clothes, becoming ashes that cannot be distinguished.

Empress Dowager Dong, who was sitting in the carriage, couldn't help but be very happy when she saw the flames burning behind her. If she had been hiding inside and hadn't chosen to come out, she might have been surrounded by the flames by now.

The palace maid who has been with the Empress Dowager Dong is also happy, it turns out that the Empress Dowager Dong let her stay in the utility room before she came out, and don't come out no matter what happens. In this way, as long as the palace maid is not found, then there will be a chance to pass on what happened here.

Later, because of the refusal of the palace maid, Empress Dowager Dong did not force it. Empress Dowager Dong's personal palace maid knew very well that even if she returned to Luoyang City to report the news, the result would not be too good. It's better to stay by the side of the Empress Dowager Dong all the time, at least her family will not be implicated because of this incident.

The current flame made the palace maid breathe a sigh of relief. If she was still hiding in the utility room, she would have been engulfed in flames at the moment, and there would be no chance to return to Luoyang City to report the news. Although it is not known if there are any people in the pavilion who managed to hide at the beginning and are not found, when the fire burns, no one can successfully escape.

She saw with her own eyes that there were several cavalrymen waiting outside the pavilion. When the time comes, whoever escapes will not be burned by the fire, but will also be killed.

Outside the pavilion, several cavalrymen watched the flames lit by their own hands burning, and their faces became much clearer under the reflection of the firelight. They were some distance away, and they could feel the heat that rushed over their faces, and some beads of sweat slipped down their foreheads.

Looking at the situation, there should be no one to escape, but the cavalry still waited in place, waiting for the flames to burn to the end. Their eyes were looking around, checking the movements around them, lest someone actually escape from the pavilion and they didn't notice it.

The cavalrymen who remained were ordered to make sure that no one had fled the post, and that they would not leave until the fire had burned to a certain extent, or if someone had heard the news. Therefore, the time for departure stipulated by the command has not yet been reached, and they are almost not leaving.

There were indeed fish that slipped through the net, some eunuchs, and soldiers, all of whom hid in time and escaped the first strangulation and the first and second searches. There were some people who were unlucky and had already been killed and did not hide to the end.

These lucky people continued to hide, waiting for these thieves to leave, and then quickly escaped from this nightmare place. Although, they can already be sure that these uninvited guests are not thieves, it is impossible for thieves to recognize the Queen Mother, and there are respectfully shouting the Queen Mother Chitose.

They still don't know who these people are, but they know that compared to those palace maids, as long as they step out, they will definitely die. So, no matter what's going on outside, they've been hiding here, or when it's completely dawn, or when it's completely quiet around them, and then they're going to flee.

Just now, the long-awaited silence came, and some of the eunuchs and soldiers who had just quietly come out of their hiding places to take a look at the surrounding situation suddenly became bad when they saw the orange flames. That kind of flame, that kind of flame crackling when it burns, kept ringing in their ears, bringing boundless fear.

They were about to escape, only to find that the entire pavilion had been surrounded by flames. If you want to escape, you can only escape smoothly by running out of those flames.

But it's not a small flame, the flame is so simple, it's a sea of fire, a sea of fire! At a glance, I don't know how far I have to travel inside to reach the outside world.

By the time I saw the flames, it was too late, because in a short period of time, the flames had expanded several meters inward. The heat is scorching these survivors who thought they would not die, making them sweat, making their hair gradually scorched, and in the end, it will make them completely charred.
