In Luoyang City, in the courtyard of the Sima family.

Even though it was late at night, the people in the house were not asleep, and everyone was busy, both the master and the servants.

The city will be moved tomorrow, although the news has been known for a long time, but after all, it is a big house, and it is a bit hasty to give only one or two days to tidy up.

In fact, not only the Sima family, but also the big families with names and surnames in Luoyang City were tidying up at this time, and if the carriage was enough, everything was loaded into the carriage in one go, and if it was not enough, it was even demolished on the spot to build a cart.

Anyway, this city will be burned tomorrow, and it is a waste to keep it.

The servants were busy in an orderly and nervous manner, but they all deliberately avoided the meeting hall.

In the hall that has been emptied, the second brother Sima Yi, the eldest brother Sima Lang, and the father Sima Fang, the three of them are standing around a purple magic circle, and in the center of the formation, there is a servant.

said that he was a servant, but he was wearing Sima Fang's official uniform for the court, but his momentum obviously couldn't support this set of official uniforms, no matter how you look at it, it feels a bit like a monkey.

"Old man......"

The servant's voice trembled, and he looked at Sima Fang uneasily.

"Don't worry, whether it's your sister or your parents, our Sima family will take care of it for you."

Sima Fang addressed the servant in as kind a voice as possible.

“…… Good....... ”

It seemed that because of the mention of his family, the servant's mood eased considerably.

"Second son, I'm ready."

The servant turned around and spoke to Sima Yi on the other side of the circle.

"Don't be so afraid, you can think about it from other places, when you arrive in Chang'an, you can still be an official for a long time. I haven't been an official, I eat meat and drink wine or something, and there are servants to call you, but I'm happy! ”

Sima Yi comforted him in his own way, and when he saw that the servant seemed to be indulging in the imagination of life in Chang'an in the future, he glanced at his father.

Seeing the second son looking at him, Sima Fang nodded, then took out the dagger, gritted his teeth, and made a cut on his palm.

"Dad, don't be crooked."

The eldest brother Sima Lang on the side reminded, and in Sima Lang's gaze, drops of blood dripped from his father's palm and landed on a skull in front of him.

The blood dripped on the skeleton and was instantly absorbed, and at the same time, a dark red light lit up from the skeleton's eye socket like a breath.

The skeleton seemed to be located on the node of the circle, and the dark red light emitted quickly soaked a corner of the circle, and then diffused, and finally dyed the entire circle from dark purple to dark red.

"Up!"

Sima Yi shouted, his two little hands were raised in unison, and the entire magic circle instantly rose into the air.

"Close!"

The circle gathered, and the dark red and rich light instantly soaked into the servant's body.

"Ahhh

A scream of pain rang out, and in his screams, the muscles on his face continued to squirm, and his body gradually became rickety. In the end, the person standing in the formation was already the same as Sima Fang.

Looking at the person in the formation who looked like his father in official uniform, Sima Lang was horrified in his heart, and he quietly looked at his younger brother.

At this time, Sima Yi had an innocent smile on his face, no different from an ordinary child.

……

In the early morning of the next day, in front of the gate of Sima's mansion, the convoy and servants were waiting for the soldiers to take them out of the city, while the head of the house, Sima Fang, stood quietly on the steps in front of the mansion, with a sad and nervous face, although it looked no different from usual, but it always felt a little strange.

The north and south gates are opened at noon, and the west gate that leads directly to Chang'an is opened early in the morning, but this west gate is for dignitaries to go, and ordinary people will be killed once they get close.

Soon, the soldiers who came to meet the Sima family's team came.

As he walked along the road, a young man who looked like a butler accosted the soldier who was taking the lead.

"This military master, didn't you open the door at noon, why did you leave so early."

A trace of surprise flashed on the face of the soldier who took the lead, since entering the city, the people of Luoyang City have been afraid of them like tigers, and they don't even dare to look at themselves, let alone talk.

With a soft snort, the soldier spoke lazily.

"At noon, it was an ordinary person, and the emperor left just after the hour, and as for you officials, the order from above is to send us all out of the city before the hour."

"What about this...... What to do? ”

The butler stretched out his hand and pointed to the fire in the sky that had been coiled for days.

"Well, that's the ...... for those in the east."

The people in the east naturally referred to the alliance of princes, and as the soldier was talking, he suddenly reacted and looked at the butler with a serious face.

"What are you asking for?! Could it be Yuan Shao's spy?! ”

"Master Jun! Misunderstanding, misunderstanding! ”

The butler hurriedly said, and he pretended to twitch his mouth twice before continuing.

"The villain has a lot of mouths, a lot of mouths, these, these are for the military master to eat wine, eat wine."

The two silver ingots were handed to the soldier, who silently put them in his bosom and gestured to the butler as if demonstrating.

"I won't pursue it this time, be careful with your mouth!"

"Yes, yes, the military master taught me."

The housekeeper hurriedly responded.

"That's it, there's Simon in front, be careful when you go out and talk."

The soldier looked in front of him, commanded, and left with the team.

Seeing the soldier leave, the butler pursed his lips and immediately boarded the carriage beside him.

In the carriage, the head of the Sima family sat in it with his young sons, but they were all dressed in servants' clothes.

The housekeeper was Sima Lang, the eldest son of the Sima family, and he nodded at his father and second brother.

"The second brother is right, but I still don't understand why we should go through this west gate. Although the west gate opened early, it escaped from the road at that time, and it was obviously not safe to evacuate directly from the north and south gates with the civilians. ”

"Okay, big brother, I'll tell you straight, anyway, there is no leakage now."

Sima Yi paused and continued.

"Then the north and south gates will not be opened at all, that is a dead end."

"Dead end?!"

"That's right, that big array in the sky is for them."

Sima Yi nodded.

"Didn't you say it was for those princes?"

"Could it be that this Dong Zhuo is going to burn those civilians?"

Sima Fang and Sima Lang hurriedly asked.

"Alas, one by one, I'm just a child!"

Sima Yi complained noisily, and seeing that the two of them still had inquiring expressions on their faces, he said slowly.

"In the first place, although this great array is against the princes, it is to be used on the common people; Secondly, the big array looked like fire, but in fact it was not fire, but a ghost array with a blinding method. ”

"Array of Spirits?!"

"Well, you don't understand the things you practice."

Sima Yi looked at his father and brother a little helplessly, he yawned, lifted the corner of the curtain and glanced out a few times, then turned his head and continued.

"It took me a lot of energy to maintain that disguise, and it seems that I won't be needed later, so I'll get some sleep first."

Sima Yi folded his hands, changed to a more comfortable posture and shrank in the carriage, and closed his eyes directly.

Seeing Sima Yi like this, Sima Lang and Sima Fang both had a helpless expression on their faces, it is a good thing that the child is capable, but it is also true that he is not easy to manage.

"By the way, I may have to sleep for a long time, don't worry."

Sima Yi suddenly opened his eyes again and said to his father and brother.
