Chapter 18: The Luoyang Rebellion
At the same time, inside the city of Luoyang.
Although it seems to outsiders that it was Luoyang that ignited the fire, in the eyes of the people in Luoyang City, the fire was not burning in the city, but in the sky.
Yes, heavenly.
A magic circle so huge that it covered the entire Luoyang City slowly rotated above Luoyang City, and above the large array, countless fire snakes chased each other, intertwined, and bloomed with blazing light.
Dong Zhuo, who was located on a terrace somewhere in the harem of the imperial city, squinted his eyes at the sky for a while, and said to a concubine beside him.
"Don't look at the gang when I was in the last court, they didn't oppose me, but in fact, they were all going against me, don't force them with this fire, they will definitely not honestly move with me at that time."
"Too ...... Taishi is wise. ”
The concubine didn't have the heart to listen to what Dong Zhuo was saying at all, her pretty face was full of fear, and when she saw Dong Zhuo finish speaking, she hurriedly responded.
"And I have another advantage to this fire, the gang of rebellious ministers and thieves in the Tiger Prison Pass will definitely chase after them when they see this fire, and when the time comes, we will let this Luoyang go and trap them all here!"
Dong Zhuo seemed to be very satisfied with the fire, and he talked to the concubine as if showing off, with a very proud look on his face.
"The master is wise."
As usual, the concubine responded respectfully.
"It's not fun to talk to you."
The concubine's answer made Dong Zhuo feel that he was playing the piano to the cow, he pursed his lips, and then slapped the concubine's back with his big hand.
"Ah!!h
Without looking at the figure who fell off the terrace, Dong Zhuo turned around a little stupidly and walked straight past Li Ru not far away.
"Go ahead and get busy with you."
Whether it is the proposal or the specific implementation of the strategy, it is all done by Li Ru, and he Dong Zhuo just decides the case.
Li Ru respectfully stepped back from the terrace, and with a wave of his hand, several soldiers hidden in the shadows immediately followed his hurried footsteps.
……
Sima Yi was busy.
Although the people in the entire Luoyang City are very busy now, most of them are busy and flustered aimlessly, but his busyness is purposeful.
He was going to the East City Gate to do something.
His house is actually not far from the East City Gate, less than a mile away, and it only takes less than half an hour for a normal adult to run with all his might, but he is only a child of about ten years old, not to mention that the street is messy, and some places have been blocked.
"This is probably the test of being an emperor."
The child cheered himself up, then took a short step and ran.
Luoyang East City Gate.
The front of the city gate has been surrounded at this time, and although the fire floating in the sky has not landed, no matter who sees the fire overhead, the first reaction is to avoid it.
Countless people in Chang'an also thought the same, but at the East City Gate, their thoughts of escaping were cut off alive.
It wasn't the gate itself that cut them off, it was the guard in front of it.
The man was holding a large knife like a door panel, and instead of armor, he was dressed in shabby black, and through the holes in the black clothes, he could still see his bronzed skin.
His face was covered by an iron mask that didn't even make two holes for his eyes, but despite this, he seemed to be able to sense the outside world, as evidenced by the corpses of civilians at his feet.
"Bang!"
The door-like broadsword suddenly slammed down, flattening a civilian whose cat's waist passed by him.
The civilian seemed to have just arrived, unaware that the man could perceive his surroundings.
"The Taishi ordered that you are not allowed to go out of the city."
Through the iron mask, the sound of urns and urns came out of it, and the man in the iron mask waved the big sword in his hand, and the invisible sword qi split into the ground and set off a deep ravine.
"Whoever crosses this line will be killed."
The fierce voice of the man in the iron mask sounded, and under the shock of the momentum, the crowded people subconsciously retreated.
And just then, the door behind him suddenly opened.
"Greetings to the General!"
The Iron Mask General immediately crouched down and shouted.
And at the moment when he crouched, a steed crossed directly over him.
Lu Bu.
Lu Bu galloped all the way on a horse, and beside him was a fluttering gluttony, this evil creature looked terrifying, although its fangs were a little missing.
Seeing the horses galloping over, the people gathered in front of the city gate took refuge, but there were always a few unlucky people who had no time to dodge and were trampled by iron hooves.
"What a waste."
Seeing this scene, Tao Tao said with some regret, but the speed of floating still did not stop.
"Huh?"
At a certain moment, Tao Tao made a puzzled sound, it seemed to smell a very special smell, this smell it had smelled on some people, such as Li Ru, but compared to Li Ru, the current taste is five or even ten times stronger than Li Ru.
It looked back at the crowd, only to see a child carved in pink.
The child stood there alone, as if to let the gluttony see.
Tao Tao was about to take a good "look" at the child, but the child turned directly into the dark alley on the side.
"I'm going to get something to eat."
Gluttony said to Lu Budao, who was galloping side by side, and then followed the footsteps of the child and turned back.
In the alley, Sima Yi, who seemed to be fleeing in a hurry, suddenly stopped.
"You want to eat me."
He turned his head, his eyes staring straight ahead at the empty space.
"The little guy feels pretty good."
The gluttonous figure slowly emerged from the air, making a gloomy and hoarse voice.
"You want to eat me."
Sima Yi repeated it again.
"Yes, I want to eat you, but you don't seem to be afraid, or I'll give you a chance to say your last words."
This was the first time that Tao Tao had seen someone dare to treat it like this, and even Lu Bu was extremely panicked when he saw it for the first time.
So it was going to talk to the kid before eating him—sort of a reward, and it had always been generous.
"I don't have a last word to say, but I want to show you something."
As he spoke, Sima Yi took out a skull from his arms, and under the stimulation of a certain force, a cloud of purple mist suddenly erupted from the skull's eye sockets, and then the purple mist stopped in mid-air, and some blurry images came out of it.
"This ...... Not now? ”
Looking at the image in the purple mist, Tao Tao couldn't help but ask.
"You follow me, you can eat all of this."
Sima Yi did not directly answer the gluttony.
Gluttony looked at the images in the purple mist, and the figures on it were constantly staggered and emerged, some of which it could recognize, such as Dong Zhuo, the older Cao Cao, the older Yuan Shao, and the older Liu Guan and Zhang brothers; And there are others that it does not recognize, such as a man with purple hair and blue eyes, a man with a cold face but a sickly face, and an old man with a lupine scarf......
Whether they know each other or not, they all have one thing in common—they are all delicious, the kind of delicious that can be felt just by the images.
"Can you eat it all?"
The gluttonous heart moved, the kind of heart that could make it resist not eating the child in front of it.
"You can eat it all."
"What if you can't eat it?"
"I'm right here."
"Very good......
The big mouth floating in mid-air swayed up and down, looking like it was nodding.
“…… Wrong! You're meant to get rid of them! ”
After a little thought, the gluttony immediately reacted.
"Do you want to eat it?"
“…… Eat. ”
The gluttony slowly lowered his head, choosing to succumb to his instincts.
"Very good, then the first order, take me to the South City Gate!"
Sima Yi crossed his waist and said, commanding the gluttony like a pet.
