63. Zhaolie Trial One
The hour is approaching, and in the hall of the Taishan Palace, the twelve people who have been shortlisted for the Zhaolie trial have all arrived.
"You're on time! Now that everyone is here, let's start the trial! Please wear your badge. Dong Yun said to everyone.
Dong Yun walked to the side of the long case, faced the small square box on the case, hit the lotus in his hand, and read in his mouth:
The cloth dragon vein is rarely respected,
Reluctantly take shelter from the tiger's den.
Benevolence spreads all over the world,
Heroes have no more than Liu Yuanjun.
Haste as a law! open
Dong Yun said that, Luo Kang only felt that it was dark in front of him, and then fell into a state of weightlessness, constantly spinning, until he suddenly fell and fell heavily on a piece of grass.
Luo Kang endured the pain, and immediately felt a special heat around him, and after his eyesight was restored, Luo Kang was shocked that he was already in a sea of fire.
"I'll go, what's going on?" Luo Kang knew that he was in the midst of a trial, so he was not too nervous.
As soon as he was about to get up, he saw a man dressed in the battle uniform of the Later Han Shu Kingdom running towards him.
"Zhang Xiaoer, what are you still doing here, hurry up and run!" The Shu soldier shouted to Luo Kang, but did not stop until he disappeared at the end of a road.
Although Luo Kang didn't know whether to run or not, the most important thing now was to meet Zhuge Yun as soon as possible.
He saw that in the midst of the flames, there were many tents for marching troops, among which there was a particularly ornate tent, and there seemed to be a lot of people surrounding it, and Luo Kang decided to go over and take a look.
Luo Kang cautiously walked through the burning area and came to the tent, only to see that the tent was standing against the mountain, and more than a dozen Shu army generals in armor were running out around an old man in a dragon robe.
"Everyone protect Your Majesty, Lu Xun's army is here!" I don't know who shouted loudly.
I saw that on the top of the mountain, tens of thousands of soldiers dressed in Wu State uniforms were quickly swooping down all over the mountain, shouting loudly: Capture Liu Bei alive!
Luo Kang thought to himself: It turns out that this person wearing a dragon robe is Liu Bei and Liu Xuande, the Zhaolie Emperor, and now all kinds of signs indicate that the environmental background he is in is the war that led to Liu Bei's death - the Battle of Yiling.
At this time, just when the Wu army was about to catch up with Liu Bei and his party, they saw a colorful tiger suddenly appear, blocking the way of the Wu army.
This tiger has a golden undercoat, pure black horizontal stripes, each hair is shiny with oil, and the strong muscles tremble slightly in his movements, showing his strength.
The soldiers of the Wu State were intimidated by the momentum of the tiger, and none of them dared to move forward.
"Let's go! You can get out here! Luo Kang shouted at Liu Bei and his party.
People are easily influenced by others in a desperate situation, although Liu Bei and the others did not know Luo Kang, but when they saw him wearing the uniform of the Shu army, they did not have any suspicion, and ran straight after Luo Kang.
Luo Kang followed the path he had taken and sent Liu Bei out of the sea of fire, and the pursuers of Wu State behind him had disappeared.
"This sergeant, thanks to you, when we return to Chengdu, we will definitely be rewarded, you are by my side now, and we will break through together." Liu Bei saw that he was safe for the time being, and said to Luo Kang.
Luo Kang still didn't know what he was going to do at the moment, but his first reaction was that he couldn't let Liu Bei go to White Emperor City, because there, he would die.
"Your Majesty, we can take a boat and go up the river, and we will definitely be able to get out of trouble." Luo Kang relied on his memory of reading "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" and quickly entered the role and offered advice to Liu Bei.
"Your Majesty, there are still more than 10,000 of our army in Ma'anshan, we can go to Ma'anshan first, clean up the remnants, and then return to Shuzhong through the White Emperor City." Beside Liu Bei, a general in armor spoke, Luo Kang looked up and saw that the token on this person's waist read, Don't supervise Fu Wei.
"Okay, let's go to Ma'anshan!" Liu Bei chose to accept Fu Wei's suggestion.
Luo Kang thought to himself: It seems that it is not so easy to try to change history, and you can only act at the opportunity later.
Along the way, the small forces of Wu State continued to attack and harass, and the people around Liu Bei desperately guarded them, and when they arrived at the city of Ma'anshan, only Luo Kang, Liu Bei, Fu Wei and two imperial guards were left, a total of five people.
"Your Majesty, open the city gate quickly!" One of the guards flashed his badge to the defenders and shouted loudly.
After a short time, the city gate opened, everyone entered, and the city guards welcomed Liu Bei into the mansion and arranged meals. And Fu Wei did not eat, but immediately went to the barracks to straighten out the armament.
"General Wu, you quickly send someone to Chengdu, meet Prime Minister Zhuge in person, and ask him to send troops to help as soon as possible." Liu Bei said to the general guarding the city.
"Yes!" After speaking, the general retreated.
"What do you call this sergeant?" After Liu Bei finished eating, he said to Luo Kang, who was standing beside him.
Luo Kang was speechless for a while, and suddenly remembered that in the sea of fire, the fleeing soldier had called his name, so he said to Liu Bei: "Villain Sun Xiaoer." ”
"You have not forgotten to be faithful when your life is at stake, and we will use you again when we get out of trouble. And now, I have something important to entrust to you, come, you take this! Liu Bei said to Luo Kang.
Liu Bei handed over the jade pendant he was carrying to Luo Kang, and said: "We will lead the army to the White Emperor City to hold on later, waiting for the reinforcements of Prime Minister Zhuge Cheng, you hold my jade pendant secret fifty knife axe hands, ambush in the palace, take me to summon the prime minister, take me as a sign to smash the cup, and kill him!" ”
After listening to Liu Bei's words, Luo Kang couldn't believe his ears, Liu Bei, who has always been known for his benevolence, actually wanted to kill Zhuge Liang. And what did the prime minister of Shu who did his best and died do that would make Liu Bei, who had been fighting with him for half his life, murderous.
Thinking of this, Luo Kang immediately knelt down on his knees, wept bitterly and said, "Why did Your Majesty want to kill Prime Minister Zhuge ? ”
Luo Kang has already entered the play at this time, and all his feelings are truly revealed, which also infects the old man in front of him who has passed the age of ear shun and killed half his life.
Liu Bei also shed tears at this time: "I also know that I am bent on going my own way, and the army is attacking Wu, which is a matter of will." But the second and third brothers have returned to heaven one after another, and if I don't avenge them, I won't be blind to death. But now that the army has been defeated, the vitality of Shu has been greatly damaged, and I have passed the twilight of my life, and my life is on the verge of death, and there is not much time left for me. But now Chan'er is still young, the foundation is still shallow, except for the elderly Zilong, there is no henchman, I really don't know if Prime Minister Zhuge can wholeheartedly assist the young master, if Kong Ming is not willing to condescend to the people, as long as he raises his arms and shouts, no one in Shu can protect my son. Therefore, when I summon him, I will test him with the matter of Chan giving up the throne, and if he agrees, I can only kill him, so that Chan'er will not become the second Han Xian Emperor. ”
At this time, Fu Wei ignored the etiquette, suddenly pushed the door in, and said in a panic: "Your Majesty, the big thing is not good, Lu Xun led an army of 100,000 to come quickly, please Your Majesty evacuate quickly and go to the White Emperor City for temporary refuge." ”
