Nangong Guard Order, to which Wei Wei belongs, ranks 600 stones.

If it was during the period of Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty, the guard order was considered a good position.

Su guards the North Palace, and non-emperor's cronies are not allowed to serve. But now......

"King Hongnong and his concubines lived in Ago.

Previously, the Empress Dowager died violently in Yong'an Palace, which made Taiwei's situation very embarrassing, so it was decided to reset the Nangong Guard Order, and before King Hongnong left, he must be protected. Therefore, Ding Jun, your responsibility is very heavy. ”

The wind and snow gradually stopped.

Ding Chen and Gao Shun also changed into clothes, followed behind a thin young man, and walked slowly along the corridor of Miyagi.

That young man was actually past the prime of life.

It's just that he was born beautiful, so he doesn't look very old, similar to Ding Chen.

He walked slowly, as if he were taking a walk. But in his gestures, he revealed an indescribable spirit, which people dare not underestimate.

This person has the same surname as Cao Cao, named Cao Xing, the official worships the captain, and is a general by Lu Bu's side.

Ding Chen and Gao Shun found Wei Wei in the evening, but they did not see Lu Bu.

Since the Eastern Han Dynasty, there have been no guard generals, but only guard captains.

The previous Wei Wei was He Jin's confidant, but after He Jin was killed, he was also murdered. It can't help but be that the guards were killed, and with the guards of the North and South Palaces, they died and fled, and the guards inside the entire palace city were almost all abolished.

After Dong Zhuo entered Luoyang, he quickly gathered his troops and horses and integrated the remnants of the defeated army.

But for the post of lieutenant, he has never been able to find a suitable candidate. Therefore, the position of guard captain was temporarily assumed by Lu Bu.

But Lu Bu is not the kind of person who can endure loneliness, so he is nominally a captain, but in fact he is a name. On weekdays, he was either on duty in the Taiwei Mansion or in the barracks, and was rarely on duty in the guards, but let his subordinates take turns.

Cao Xing is the one on duty tonight.

It's not the first time Cao Xing has heard Ding Chen's name, these days, he has actually heard a lot of people mention it.

Hao Meng, who came from Bingzhou with Cao Xing, gritted his teeth when he mentioned Ding Chen; Zhang Liao, who used to be Cao Xing's Shangguan, is now at the same level as Cao Xing, but he has a very high opinion of Ding Chen. Lu Bu mentioned Ding Chen, saying that Ding Chen was a 'lion' who could compete with Zhang Liao; Li Ru also talked about Ding Chen today, and also said that Cao Xing should be more careful with this person......

In short, Cao Xing had heard many versions of Ding Chen, but he didn't actually believe it.

He was waiting in Weiwei today, just to see what kind of person this Ding Chen was.

"Ding Jun, I might as well explain some things.

Before the queen mother's violent death, the guards of the two palaces existed in name only...... You also know that the eunuchs caused chaos in the dynasty, and the guards of the two palaces were almost wiped out. After Taiwei entered Luoyang, his energy was all over the court, and he didn't have the kung fu to reset the guards of these two palaces.

Unexpectedly, the Queen Mother died violently in Yong'an Palace, which made the Taiwei extremely angry.

In order to ensure the safety of King Hongnong, Taiwei temporarily transferred 800 Rui soldiers from the army, and then rebuilt the Nangong guards. ”

Cao Xuan took Ding Chen and Gao Shun through the corner gate and came to Ah Ge.

I saw that the majestic palace was in the wind and snow, but it revealed a kind of decay.

"Ding Jun, Nangong Guard's Order is not easy to do, if you are not careful, you may fall into a situation from which you will never recover. You have to think about it! ”

An accident?

Ding Chen couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart.

How could he not understand the meaning of these five words, it was nothing more than that King Hongnong had an accident, and he would be unable to escape the blame when the time came.

But does he have any other choice?

Ding Chen glanced at Cao Xing, and said in a deep voice: "If you don't make this guard order, will you go back to Luoyang Prison again?" ”

"Hahaha...... Not really!

In fact, the prince admires you quite a lot, if you want, you can go to his account to do things, I believe that the prince will not treat you badly. ”

Ding Chen was stunned for a moment, and then shook his head.

"Forget it, I have a dirty relationship with General Wenhou, if I get to the army, God knows if I will be played to death by him."

"So, you've decided to stay here."

Ding Chen stretched out his hands, "General Cao, it seems that I have no other choice.

Moreover, I listen to what you mean, it seems that I just let me stay in the guard of Age and protect the safety of King Hongnong. If so, you can do it reluctantly. ”

"How do you know that you are only protecting King Hongnong?"

The corners of Ding Chen's mouth twitched slightly, and he said softly: "General Cao, along the way, you mentioned King Hongnong eleven times, how can I not understand?" ”

Cao Xing was stunned, and then laughed, with appreciation in his eyes.

"Now that you know what your responsibilities are, I won't say anything more."

As he spoke, he walked forward, and said as he went: "Ding Jun follow, I'll take you to meet King Hongnong first." ”

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

A pavilion, if interpreted literally, refers to an attic with eaves on all sides.

However, in Miyagi, Akaku refers specifically to an attic-style palace divided into two floors. It is a very characteristic palace in Nangong, the surrounding environment is extremely quiet, located in a corner of Nangong, standing on the upper floor, you can overlook the scenery on both sides of Luoshui.

Liu Bian, the king of Hongnong, has lived in this palace since he was deposed by Dong Zhuo.

Ding Chen was in the hall on the first floor of the Pavilion, and finally met the deposed emperor.

Liu Wei was born in Xiping for five years and is now fifteen years old.

He didn't look strong, he even said he was a little thin...... It is said that when Liu Bian was born, his health was not very good. In addition, most of his previous princes died, so Emperor Ling of Han sent him out of the palace and handed him over to a Taoist priest surnamed Shi to take care of, which can be regarded as a smooth growth, and with his mother Empress Dowager He becoming more and more favored, so he returned to the palace.

At this moment, he was sitting alone on top of His Majesty in the main hall, his eyes were a little wandering, and he seemed to be unable to focus on one point.

"Minister, under the Taiwei tent, ride the captain Cao Xing, and meet the king of Hongnong, Chitose."

Cao Xing's expression was solemn, and after entering the main hall, he bowed down to worship.

Ding Chen didn't dare to slack off after him, and he also clenched his fists with both hands and slammed it to the ground, "Minister Ding Chen, meet the king of Hongnong Chitose." ”

"General Cao, is there something wrong?"

King Hongnong seemed to come back to his senses, and his voice trembled slightly.

Obviously, he recognized Cao Xing, so he was not unfamiliar with his words.

It's just that his voice is very small, and his middle qi is not very sufficient, giving people a very weak feeling, and even pity.

Ding Chen's eyebrows frowned, and he sighed secretly.

Hearing the sound and knowing people, just by the voice of King Hongnong, he can conclude that this is not a male lord who can rejuvenate the Han family......

Think about it, which male lord speaks as weakly as he does?

As the king of a country, he should have a magnificent spirit, otherwise how can he deter the courtiers?

No wonder Dong Zhuo wants to depose him, it feels reasonable!

However, if Dong Zhuo wants to control the court, such a weak lord seems to be more in line with his requirements. But why did he abandon King Hongnong and set up a new emperor? You know, he did this, but he risked the world's condemnation.

"Your Royal Highness, the Taiwei is worried about the safety of His Royal Highness, and he is determined to strengthen the guards of Ah Ge, so he appointed Ding Chen Ding Ziyang as the guard of Nangong to guard Ah Ge and protect His Highness's safety. The minister came today to introduce His Highness...... Ding Chen, don't you want to see His Highness? ”

Ding Chen came back to his senses, hurriedly took two steps forward, raised his hands into fists above his head, and slammed them to the ground.

"With Mrs. Lao's concern, Gu is very grateful.

Ding Qing is flat, and in the future, I will ask Ding Qing for the safety of Lonely. ”

"Minister, I will do my best to protect His Highness."

After Ding Chen finished speaking, he stood up straight.

Cao Xing said: "Your Highness, although Ding Jun is young, he is strong in martial arts, even Wen Hou praises him very much.

He is the wife and brother of Cao Cao, the captain of the military academy, and he will definitely do his best, please don't worry about it. ”

"It turned out to be Cao Qing's brother-in-law, and Lone knew him...... But I don't know, how is Cao Qing now? ”

"This ......"

Ding Chen was stunned for a moment, not knowing how to answer.

Instead, Cao Xuan spoke: "Cao Cao was bewitched by others and assassinated the Tai Lieutenant, and now he has escaped from Luoyang and his whereabouts are unknown. ”

"Huh?"

When Liu Wei heard this, he was obviously stunned for a moment, and his gaze at Ding Chen also changed.

Cao Xuan had been paying attention to Liu Wei's expression, and seeing this, he seemed to understand something, so he bowed down and said, "From today on, Ding Jun will stay in the Guardian Pavilion." If His Highness has any needs, he can know with Ding Jun, and he will arrange it. ”

"Good!"

Liu Wei hesitated for a moment, and said softly: "General Cao, can I bother you to ask the Taiwei about when Gu can leave?" ”

"This ...... The minister must consult the captain. ”

"Thank you very much!"

After Liu Wei finished speaking, he stood up.

He glanced at Cao Xing, and then at Ding Chen.

"It's not early, go back and rest...... Ding Qing, I'll bother you a lot. ”

"Minister, obey."

Liu Wei Shi ran and walked towards the pavilion.

The slightly dim light in the main hall brought out Liu Wei's thin back, which was a bit lonely and lonely.

Cao Xuan watched Liu Wei leave and sighed softly.

He turned around and said to Ding Chen, "Ding Jun, please come with me." ”

"Where to go?"

"You are now an official of Nangong Guard, and you should introduce you to your subordinates.

The Nangong guards are all sharp soldiers brought by the Taiwei from Xiliang. If I don't take you there, they won't recognize you. ”

Ding Chen smiled and thanked Cao Xing.

He knew that Cao Xing was not alarmist. The arrogant and domineering temperament of the Liang soldiers in the west, if there is no Cao Xing to lead him, it is impossible for him to gain a firm foothold, and it really takes some effort. Of course, Ding Chen was not afraid of those Xiliang soldiers making trouble. It's not difficult to deal with this gang of arrogant generals...... If you are not convinced, then you will be convinced! Just like when Dong Zhuo wanted to win over Lu Bu, those Xiliang warriors refused to accept it, and finally Lu Bu was beaten by the red rabbit horse in his crotch, and he painted a halberd in the sky, so that no one challenged him anymore.

Things in the military, in fact, are not complicated many times!

Of course, if Cao Xing came forward and could save some trouble, Ding Chen would not refuse.

He followed behind Cao Xing and walked out of the Age Hall.

The moment he walked out of the main hall, Ding Chen suddenly stopped and turned his head to look into the main hall.

In the empty hall, only the figures of some attendants swayed.

In my mind, the thin figure unconsciously appeared. For some reason, Ding Chen had an unspeakable emotion in his heart.

That King Hongnong is now only fifteen years old!

When he was fifteen years old, although he had already experienced a lot of things with Cao Cao, most of the time, Cao Cao sheltered him from the wind and rain.

But the boy ......

I don't know what the reason is, Ding Chen saw his own shadow in Liu Wei's body.

Liu Wei, who lost the protection of his father, was alone in the wolf's den, worrying all day long.

And he is very similar to Liu Bian. Trapped in Luoyang, the tiger's den of Longtan, Cao Cao can no longer shelter him from the wind and rain.

From now on, he can only rely on himself, and he must persevere.

Because, there is still Sister Ah behind him, and Ang ...... If he falls, Sister Ah and Ang will also lose their support.

Thinking of this, Ding Chen couldn't help it, and looked up at the second floor of Ah Ge.

He saw Liu Wei, standing alone in front of the window, looking out in a daze, but he didn't know what he was looking at......
