The imperial city of Luoyang in the Eastern Han Dynasty is divided into two palaces, north and south.

The two palaces are connected by a roof-covered compound road, which is seven miles long from north to south.

The so-called double road refers to three roads in parallel. In the middle is the emperor's royal road, and on both sides are the roads where the ministers and attendants walk. Repeat the road twice, set up a guard in ten steps, and stand on the side of the two compartments. The north and south palaces, the doors are opposite, so that the whole palace city, like a 'Lu' shape on the plane, is also a very significant architectural feature of this era.

Among them, the south palace is used to discuss politics with the court, and the north palace is the place where the emperor and his concubines live.

However, due to the fact that Dong Zhuo abolished the emperor, the new year was young, and the Hongnong palace had not yet been built, so the abolished emperor and his concubines had to temporarily live in Age, and there were guards on weekdays to protect the safety of Liu Bian, the king of Hongnong.

Nangong Guardian Order, rank ratio of six hundred stone.

Its duty is to guard Nangong, be responsible for the security of Nangong, and command the eight hundred Nangong guards......

After dawn, Li Ru woke up.

Last night, I was in the Taiwei Mansion and didn't disperse until late.

When he opened his eyes, he still felt inexplicably tired. His wife Dong Bai is not there, and it is estimated that she will accompany her grandmother in the Taiwei Mansion again.

Li Ru stretched his waist, washed up, and dressed properly.

He is now temporarily taking over the post of court lieutenant, and he has a lot of affairs on weekdays. Coupled with the affairs of Empress Dowager He, he was even more exhausted. But he also knows that now he is in Luoyang, no more than he was in Liangzhou. There's a lot of talent here, and it's a complicated situation. If he can't do his best, even if he is Dong Zhuo's son-in-law, he may be replaced by someone else in the end.

My own business, my own know.

Li Ru is very intelligent, and he may be regarded as a masterpiece in Liangzhou.

But in Luoyang......

That sense of crisis, with the passage of time, became heavier and heavier, and it also made Li Ru have to cheer up all the time.

He had eaten breakfast and was ready to go to work.

But as he walked out the door, he suddenly remembered what had happened last night.

Last night, after the deliberations were over, he walked out of the Taiwei Mansion. I didn't want to be outside the gate of the mansion, but I was stopped by Lu Bu and thanked him.

"That Ding Ziyang's matter, I still have to worry about Lao Zirou."

With Lu Bu's temperament, he was so interested in this Ding Ziyang, which also made Li Ru have a strong curiosity in his heart.

Looking at the sky, he said to the coachman, "Go to Luoyang Prison." ”

"Whoa!"

When the coachman heard this, he drove away without asking.

Li Ru sat in the car, thinking along the way: The reason why Lu Bu wanted to save Ding Chen was because he said a big thing that day, and he couldn't get off the stage. And that day outside the gate of Cao's Mansion, he failed to kill Ding Chen, and I am afraid that he was beyond his power, so he had to do so.

Of course, this does not rule out Lu Bu's appreciation of Ding Chen's martial arts......

But this also shows that Ding Chen is indeed capable.

Taiwei is now in charge of the center, relying on those reckless men in Liangzhou alone, I am afraid that it will not be able to achieve a big thing.

If this Ding Chen really has the ability, it is also worth wooing. However, he is Cao Cao's brother-in-law, will there be a mystery in this?

In Li Ru's heart, he couldn't make up his mind for a while!

"Master, Luoyang Prison has arrived."

"I'm going to meet Na Ding Chen."

Li Ru got out of the car and ordered his entourage to go and report.

After a while, I saw the jailer on duty trotting all the way, bowing down in front of Li Ru and saying, "The unknown court lieutenant is coming, the little official should die." ”

Li Ru's face was expressionless and he snorted.

He pondered for a moment and said, "A few days ago, a prisoner named Ding Chen was sent over, what is the situation now?" ”

"This ......"

The jailer was stunned for a moment, revealing a strange expression.

Li Ru frowned, and suddenly said, "Take me in, I want to see this person." ”

After hesitating for a moment, the jailer smiled bitterly: "Since the court lieutenant wants to check, it is difficult for the villain to refuse.

It's just that the prison environment is bad, and if there is anything wrong, please ask the court captain to forgive the crime. Or, the villain went to bring that Ding Chen? ”

In these words, there is actually a meaning that he doesn't want Li Ru to enter.

But the more this is the case, the more interested Li Ru becomes, and he waved his hand at the moment, "Hugh is verbose, and this official is not a person who can't endure hardship?" ”

The attendant behind him stepped forward and pushed the jailer away.

Li Ru strode into Luoyang Prison, and under the leadership of the jailer, he went down the steps to the dimly lit prison.

According to Li Ru's thoughts, the jailers pushed back, probably because they had done bad things.

But after entering the prison, Li Ru found that there were many people gathered in the prison.

It seems that more than half of the jailers on duty in Luoyang Prison are in this prison. They were standing outside the door of a cell, talking to each other, each excited and looking very excited.

"How many rounds?"

"I'm betting on ten rounds, that kid is getting better and better, and in my opinion, it can be over in ten rounds."

"Not necessarily, the guy surnamed Gao is also the goalkeeper of the eighth lieutenant of Xiyuan, I think he is in good shape today."

"And how long do you say it's over?"

"Fifteen rounds, I'll bet that the surname Gao can survive fifteen rounds."

Li Ru was a little strange, and was about to ask, when he heard a loud bang in the cell, followed by a burst of cheers.

The jailer squeezed over at this time, and said with a smile on his face: "Tingwei Hugh, there are no prisoners in this Luoyang prison now, and everyone is very idle, so let's have some fun." But don't get me wrong, it's them who want to fight, and it has nothing to do with us. ”

"Get out of the way, don't get in my way."

The jailer said as he pushed the jailer in front of him.

He led Li Ru to the outside of the cell, and saw two unkempt and ragged guys sitting on the ground, looking at each other and smiling. Since the light is not very good, it is impossible to see the appearance of these two people clearly. Li Ru could only vaguely see that one of the two people was younger and the other was older, both sitting on the ground, gasping and not saying a word.

"Gao Dasil, you can't do it today, it's only been three rounds, and you've lost!"

"Bullshit, that's your sneak attack, otherwise grandpa will beat you all over the face."

"Hah, big talk...... We've been competing for three days, which time can you beat me? ”

The young man said jokingly, with a hint of sarcasm in his words.

And the stocky old man took the opportunity to pounce and threw the young man to the ground at once. The two scuffled on the ground, but saw that various tricks were endless. You have a armbar, I have a wrist grab, and the tricks are flying, which can be described as wonderful.

The jailers outside the cell also shouted loudly, cheering for the people they supported.

Li Ru was dumbfounded, and the entourage around him couldn't help but praise again and again when they saw the two of them's wrestling skills.

Liangzhou, the land of bitter cold.

In addition, Hu and Han live together, and there are often conflicts, so that the people are fierce.

Even a scholar like Li Ru knows some fighting skills. Therefore, he couldn't help asking: "These two people, are they like this every day?" ”

"Not really!"

The jailer smiled bitterly: "These two rammers have to fight twice a day, once in the morning and once in the evening...... At the beginning, the villain thought they had a grudge, but who knew that I sent someone to persuade me to fight, but the two of them joined forces to beat them out.

Later, everyone got used to it!

The two of them like to fight, so they fight with them, as long as no one is killed.

It's boring in this prison, they play twice a day, and everyone has a pastime, so they slowly get used to it. ”

When Li Ru heard this, he couldn't help but complain in his heart: I'm full!

He asked his attendants, "What about these two people?" ”

The entourage had been stunned by the fierce fight between the two people in the cell, and when he heard Li Ru's inquiry, he hurriedly nodded and said, "Master, if these two people are put in the army, they will definitely be first-class warriors...... Villain, I'm afraid it's not an opponent. ”

Li Ru's interest was even stronger, and he asked the jailer again, "Which one is Ding Chen?" ”

"That's, crushed underneath...... Oh, the kid who has turned it over. ”

"Who's the other?"

"That person, named Gao Shun, is said to be the tooth keeper under the captain of the military academy Jian Shuo.

At the beginning, Jian Shuo was executed and his body was abandoned in the market, but this guy ran to collect Jian Shuo's body, so that he offended the general and was imprisoned. Originally, he was going to behead him after the autumn, who would have thought that...... Anyway, until now, it is estimated that no one remembers him, and he has been locked up here. ”

When Li Ru heard this, his triangular eyes closed slightly, and a flash of fine light flashed.

Jian Shuo's subordinates?

He looked at the two people in the cell with interest, but he had a calculation in his heart.

I thought it was just Ding Chen, but I didn't expect it......

The corners of Li Ru's mouth twitched, revealing a smile: This time, I'm afraid that Wen Hou is going to miscalculate!

At this moment, I suddenly heard a violent roar from the cell, Gao Shun was originally suppressed on the ground, but he suddenly stood up and rushed over with Ding Chen in his arms. Hearing a bang, Ding Chen's back slammed into the railing of the cell door. The thick wooden fence of the bowl was cracked by him, and it looked as if it was about to break, causing a burst of exclamation.

"Are they coming really?"

At first, Li Ru thought it was the end of the point.

But now it seems that these two people are clearly ......

"It's always been like this, I've changed two cells."

Before the jailer could speak, he saw Ding Chen leaning over and hugging Gao Shun's waist, and then with a tiger roar, he lifted Gao Shun up, and fell to the ground with a hug, the dull sound made Li Ru's teeth ache for a while.

"Stop, stop!"

He couldn't help himself a little and shouted loudly.

In the cell, Ding Chen and Gao Shun also heard the shouting, and the two separated, brushed their heads together, and looked outside.

"It's all scattered, it's scattered!"

Li Ru didn't care about the dissatisfaction of the jailers, and ordered his followers to drive people away.

He walked outside the cell door, glanced at the broken railing, then shook his head and said in a deep voice, "Do you two want to demolish this prison?" ”

Gao Shun flicked his hair back, stood up and stepped aside.

"Looking for you."

After saying that, he sat down on the straw mat, and at the same time grinned with a painful look on his face.

Ding Chen was relatively better, he stood up strongly, looked at Li Ru and said, "There is nothing to do left and right, just to learn." ”

"Two death row inmates, but they are also relieved."

"What, are you going to kill me? Ha, I know that Lu Fengxian is a guy who likes to brag. ”

When Li Ru heard this, he couldn't help but laugh dumbly.

In this Luoyang City, there are not many people who dare to say this about Lu Bu, except for Dong Zhuo, this guy is afraid that he is the first one.

"Aren't you afraid of death?"

"I'm afraid!"

Ding Chen leaned against the wall, sat down on the straw mat, and grinned: "But if you are afraid, can you live?" ”

"Of course not."

"In that case, why be afraid?"

"You guys are open to ...... Why, I'm going to die, but what do I want? I will do my best to be satisfied with you. ”

Before Ding Chen could speak, Gao Shun on the other side said first: "Xiao Ding, I'll just say that you say big things, and it's true."

Hehe, he also said to save me out, but he gave his life first...... If you have any last words, hurry up, and when I go out, maybe I can take care of one or two. ”

Ding Chen, but he was silent!

Suddenly, he grabbed a stone from the ground and threw it at Gao Shun.

"You tall fool, I'm dead, and you're next."

He turned his head to look at Li Ru and said, "Lu Bu said, keep my sister's mother and son safe."

You tell him not to break my trust, or I will look down on him even if I lose my head. ”

"You're dying yourself, and you're still worried about your sister's life or death?"

"Why don't you worry, the eldest sister is like a mother, I was brought up by my sister since I was a child, and I haven't repaid her kindness. I have no regrets in my death, but I hope you don't embarrass my sister, mother and son. If I could let them go home, I would be dead, and I am grateful. ”

Li Ru's eyes flashed with appreciation.

He took a deep breath and waved his hand to signal the jailer to open the door.

"In that case, let's go."

"Do you want to go under the knife now? It's too stingy to not even give a severed head meal. ”

"Hehe, there is no guillotine meal, and I don't want to help you pass the word. If you have any complaints, you should talk to Wen Hou yourself.

Taiwei has an order, spare you from death, let you be the Nangong guard order, and stay in the guard Age. Okay, come with me, go back and wash up, and then report to Wen Hou.

And you, your name is Gao Shun, right? You can also go out, and go with Ding Chen to be a Nangong Weicheng. ”
