Volume 1 - Acquaintance and Parting Chapter 18 - Parting (1)

On the avenue outside Luoyang City, Xu Ming and Zhang Yu returned to the camp with their men and horses.

Unexpectedly, only halfway through, a horse galloped from the direction of Luoyang City, turned over and dismounted in front of the army.

"Two generals, it's not good! After His Royal Highness enters the palace, the imperial city will be under full martial law!"

When the two of them, who were originally very relaxed, heard this, they were shocked, and they secretly guessed something in their hearts, but the result was unknown, and the two did not dare to make a blind decision.

"Lao Zhang, Your Highness won't have an accident, right?" Xu Ming turned his head to Zhang Yu and asked.

Zhang Yu stroked his chin and said, "What good thing can it be if you entered the palace for no reason, and now the imperial city is under martial law?"

"No, no, we can't sit idly by! Brothers, Your Highness treats me a lot on weekdays, and now Your Highness is in trouble! Brothers, dare to follow me into the Imperial City and rescue His Highness?!"

Xu Ming naturally heard the meaning of Zhang Yu's words, and as soon as Zhang Yu's words fell, Xu Ming made a categorical decision. He immediately rode his horse and shouted at the soldiers behind him, intending to directly lead the soldiers to attack the imperial city.

Because Sima Wei was not thin in the camp on weekdays, the soldiers in the camp heard that Sima Wei was in trouble, so they couldn't stand idly by, so they immediately shook their sleeves and shouted to attack the imperial city.

"General Xu is right, His Highness treats me well on weekdays, but today His Highness is in trouble, how can I stand by and watch?!"

"Don't say it's attacking the imperial city, even if it's going up the knife mountain and going down to the sea of fire, Lao Tzu is willing!"

"Count me in!"

"General Xu, just say what to do! We listen to you!"

“……”

"Good! They are all men with affection and righteousness, brothers, let's go!"

"Stop! Stop me!"

Just as Xu Ming was about to lead the soldiers to march, Zhang Yu's scolding came from behind him.

"Listen to me! There are no less than 5,000 Praetorian Guards in the imperial city, and the soldiers are good and the food is sufficient, and the city is thick and the walls are high! With just a few of us, it is impossible to rescue His Highness!"

"Zhang Yu! What the fuck do you mean?!We're just going to ask for people, who said we're going to attack the Imperial City?!" When Xu Ming heard this, he immediately shouted.

"Xu Ming, think about it, bringing troops to the palace without permission is a capital crime for the nine clans.

Do you want to take these brothers to their deaths? Don't forget, these brothers are old and young! Now that you're taking your brothers with you, what about the brothers' family?!"

As soon as Zhang Yu said this, the people who were originally eager to try gradually stopped.

"Then you mean to watch His Highness being killed?!Zhang Yu, don't forget, who saved you in the first place, and who made you, the broken marquis of the previous dynasty, become the current general!" Xu Ming's eyes widened angrily, and he looked at Zhang Yu and shouted.

"Brothers, let's go!" Xu Ming angrily reprimanded Zhang Yu and shouted at everyone.

However, after Zhang Yu's "ideological education", everyone who had been extremely enthusiastic before all hesitated at this moment. Only more than 100 horsemen walked to Xu Ming's side without hesitation.

Seeing everyone like this, Xu Ming was even more angry in his heart, threw his helmet to the ground, took out the knife on his waist, cut off his long hair and threw it on the ground, and said: "The love of the past is still like this!" Let's go!"

After that, without waiting for Zhang Yu to stop him, Xu Ming took more than 100 people and galloped away.

Looking at the backs of everyone in the distance, Zhang Yu looked extremely helpless, so he had to take the rest of the people back to the camp.

…………

The imperial city of Luoyang has been completely martial law at this time, and the gates to the city have been closed. At every city gate, there are a large number of heavily armed forbidden troops waiting for them! The city walls were full of rolling stones and wood, and the archers were ready to shoot arrows.

Xu Ming took more than 100 horsemen and galloped for twenty miles in a row to the imperial city.

The general on duty at the city gate was Lei Huan, Lei Huan saw Xu Ming leading the crowd to come, and immediately drew his sword and shouted: "The imperial city is under martial law, those who come should stop quickly, otherwise they will be shot with arrows!"

Hearing this, Xu Ming grabbed the reins and arched his hand towards Lei Huan on the city tower: "General Lei, there is no offense in the lower parts, I am just here to find His Royal Highness the King of Chu!"

Lei Huan despised Xu Ming very much, and after listening to Xu Ming's words, he couldn't help but snort, and said with great contempt: "The traitor Sima Wei, who killed the important ministers of the court, has been ambushed now." Persuade the king to be arrested quickly, otherwise he will be killed immediately!"

When Xu Ming heard this, he was immediately furious, and rode his horse towards the city gate.

"Shoot the arrows!"

Lei Huan, who was on the city tower, looked at Xu Ming, who was annoyed and angry, and the corners of his mouth hooked and ordered, and hundreds of feather arrows came out of the string. In an instant, dozens of horses fell from their horses.

In the face of the dense arrow feathers, Xu Ming was completely unable to reach them, so he had to retreat beyond the range of the archers.

Lei Huan saw that his Xu Ming's strength was weak, so he immediately drew his sword and ordered to go out of the city to face the battle.

Xu Ming saw that Lei Huan led the defenders in the city to kill, so he led the hundred horsemen behind him to fight and went straight to Lei Huan.

"Phew!" The weapons in the hands of the two men collided in one place, making a deafening sound.

"Traitor, your lord is dead, if you don't surrender quickly, you can still save the whole body! If not, the door will be slaughtered!"

In the face of Lei Huan's shouting, Xu Ming, who was angry in his heart, naturally turned a blind eye and said sharply: "Since the Lord is dead, he should follow!" Wait for a certain person to cut you first, and sacrifice my lord with your head!"

Just as Xu Ming led people to fight with Lei Huan under the imperial city, Zhang Hua and Zhou also came to the Chu army camp with their men.

"Fengtian carrier, the emperor said! Sima Wei, the king of Chu, killed the important ministers of the court, and now relies on the power of Zhuqing to kill the rebels and revitalize the dynasty!

I know very well that the soldiers in the camp have been deceived and coerced by the traitors, and now the great rebellion has been removed. I feel that God has the virtue of a good life, and all the officers and men in the battalion will be exempted from their crimes and will not be investigated! I hope that all the soldiers will work together to control the territory of our dynasty! Chin!"

After Zhang Hua entered the camp, he read the holy decree to appease the army.

When the soldiers in the battalion heard the word "forgiveness", they naturally lost their restlessness. Of course, this does not include Sima Wei's henchman Zhang Yu.

After Zhang Yu heard the holy decree, he was shocked. Secretly rode out of the camp and went straight to the imperial city.

…………

Under the imperial city, Xu Ming was finally outnumbered, and several arrows were in his body, and more than 100 horsemen who came with him were also killed and injured under the encirclement and suppression of the forbidden army at this moment.

Only Xu Ming, covered in blood and with a cloak scattered, was surrounded by hundreds of forbidden legions.

Lei Huan looked at Xu Ming in the formation, and couldn't help applauding: "General Xu is really admirable to General Ben!" It's all like this, don't you surrender yet? ”

Xu Ming didn't say a word, his eyes were firmly fixed on Lei Huan, revealing countless killing intent.

The next moment, Lei Huan's face instantly turned cold, and he spit out the word "kill", and his tone was full of endless chills.

Xu Ming looked at the forbidden army who was coming towards him with a knife, shouted violently, and waved the big knife in his hand, instantly knocking several forbidden soldiers away.

"Phew! Bang!"

"Wow!"

"Humph! Act recklessly! Shoot the arrows!"

Lei Huan snorted coldly and ordered the arrow to be released. The feather arrow went straight to Xu Ming.

"Boom!"

The feather arrow pierced through the armor, and Xu Ming was immediately shot into a hedgehog.

"Poof!" Xu Ming spat out a mouthful of blood, still standing in place.

Seeing this, Lei Huan drew his sword and stepped forward, just as he was about to behead it, and rode to kill him from a distance.

"Zhang Yu is here! Don't hurt my brother!"

I only heard Zhang Yu shouting, and the big knife in his hand roared, slashing the forbidden army that stepped forward to block him directly to the ground, and rode his horse directly to hit Lei Huan.

Lei Huan was shocked and hurriedly waved his weapon to resist. The two of them knocked their weapons together, only to hear the sound of "bang", and the weapon in Lei Huan's hand came out of his hand.

The next moment, Zhang Yu made a style of "Mount Tai pressed the top", and the big knife in his hand went straight to Lei Huan Tianling Gai and slashed down. Lei Huan, who was unarmed, looked at the big knife that had been chopped down, and let out a cold sweat.

"Whoosh!"

At this moment, a poisonous needle suddenly came straight to Zhang Yu's eyebrows, Zhang Yu flashed sideways, Lei Huan seized the opportunity, beat the horse and left. Zhang Yu looked up and saw that it was Jia Xijie.

"Zhang, Zhang, aren't you leaving?"

Xu Ming, who was covered with feather arrows on the side, struggled and said.

Zhang Yu grinned and said: "You don't look down on Lao Tzu, don't forget, Lao Tzu was like you back then, crawling out of the pile of dead people!"

"Bang Bang!"

There was a burst of applause, and I heard Jia Xijie not far away with an evil smile on his face: "Hmph, what a picture of brotherly love!" Rest assured, both of you! General Ben will fulfill your desire to hit the road together! ”

"Yin, Yin and Yang are weird......"

"Lao Xu, you rest first, this guy asked me to come!"

Zhang Yu said, jumped up from his horse, and the big knife in his hand came straight to Jia Nanjie Tianlinggai.

Jia Xijie jumped backwards into the air, dodged the big knife that slashed, and with a movement of his palm, several poisonous needles swung out, stabbing directly at Zhang Yu's vital point.

The short needle was thin and sharp, and Zhang Yu didn't have time to dodge, and the poisonous needle hit his armor several times.

"Woohoo!" The sound was sparked, and after a few sounds, the poisonous needle was blocked by the armor.

"Jia Xijie, your poisonous needle has been blocked by my armor, see what else you can do!"

Zhang Yu shouted loudly and jumped up and waved his knife. Jia Xijie looked at Zhang Yu who was swinging the knife and did not dodge, but stood in place with an evil smile on his face.

"Three! Two! One! Pour!"

As soon as Jia Xijie's words fell, Zhang Yu felt a sharp pain in his heart, and then his whole body fell to the ground, covering the heart goggles, and spit out a mouthful of black blood.

"Zhang Yu!"

"How...... How...... Maybe ......" Zhang Yu spat black blood in his mouth, and his choked tone was full of unwillingness.

"Humph! Do you think that the poisonous needles I threw were blocked by your broken armor? ”

Hearing this, Zhang Yu looked down at the heart guard on his chest, only to see that there was a tiny pinhole on it!

"Poof! Despicable ......" Zhang Yu left his last words, spat out a mouthful of black blood, and closed his eyes.

"Zhang Yu!"

Xu Ming, who was covered in blood, watched his brother die in front of him, and roared with more than enough strength in his heart.

"Whew!"

The next moment, a poisonous needle passed through Xu Ming's throat, Xu Ming suddenly lost his voice, closed his eyes, knelt on one knee, and no longer moved.

Jia Xijie looked at the dead two, the corners of his mouth hooked, and then turned to leave.

"General Ben is going back to his life! General Lei, please clean up these dead bodies!"

Lei Huan on the side looked at the blackened two corpses, and he could be said to have palpitations.

The sun was shining, and the gate of the imperial city soon returned to its former solemnity. It's like the autumn leaves, blown down by the autumn wind, and carried away by the autumn wind!
