Chapter 37: The Rising Fire (4)
"Lord!"
In front of the coalition army outside the imperial city, the sound of horses' hooves sounded, and the white-clothed and high-crowned strategist Fu Zhi and a young man who looked a little similar to Sun Jian galloped towards the crowd watching the battle.
"Elder brother!"
Seeing the figure of the young man, Sun Ping called out directly.
That's right, this person is Sun Jian's eldest son, Sun Ce.
Sun Ce was sent to the north gate to guide the people, and unlike Liu Bei, he chose to honestly carry out Yuan Shao's orders and directly use coercive means to bring the people to Yuan Shao's side.
And at this moment, Li Ru's large array was initially activated, and several clouds of purple mist descended, blocking various nodes in Luoyang City. However, Yuan Shao was not idle here, and the moment the purple mist fell, he took the initiative to ask Ying to crack the purple mist.
If these purple mist are compared to a lock, then the correct way to crack it is the key to the lock, and the self-aware frustration knows very well that he can't participate in the so-called correct method in a short time, so he directly chooses to forcibly smash the lock open - the essence of all kinds of magic is true qi, as long as he pays an equal or excessive amount of true qi, these purple mist will naturally break through him.
It was obviously impossible to break through the entire large array above Luoyang City in this way, but it was still possible to just break through the purple mist that was blocking the way.
Sun Ce is Sun Jian's eldest son, and Fu Zhi naturally chose to rescue Sun Ce first, but at the same time as he rescued Sun Ce, the original flame array suddenly changed, and in a hurry, Fu Zhi simply chose to leave Liu Bei and come back to protect Yuan Shao.
The ins and outs of the matter were quickly explained, and he came to Yuan Shao and lowered his head again.
"Lord, my subordinates implore my lord to go back to the camp first and think about it in the long run!"
Faced with the advice of the frustrated professor this time, Yuan Shao uncharacteristically hesitated.
It is better to hear than to see, hearing and seeing the Yin Evil Great Array are completely different things, and now, after personally feeling the gloomy aura that constantly oozes from the Yin and Evil Great Array, Yuan Shao's thoughts in his heart were finally shaken.
Why don't you withdraw first?
The trap set by the other party had gradually revealed its fangs, and although Yuan Shao was sure that he would definitely not be able to hurt himself in this big array, it was impossible for all the soldiers under his command to be protected by the frustration.
Yuan Shao looked behind him, and many soldiers already had fear on their faces, but it was only because of his presence that their morale did not collapse.
"Or ......"
"Father!"
Yuan Shao was just about to speak, but the two juniors of Sun Jian's family around him rushed out, not only Sun Ce and Sun Ping, but also many of Sun Jian's subordinates.
Yuan Shao subconsciously looked towards the imperial city, but saw that the imperial city was supposed to be standing on the tower full of enemy troops, but it was empty at this time; And Sun Jian, who was originally fighting at the city gate, was rushing towards the city gate single-handedly!
The enemy withdrew?!
A fire ignited in Yuan Shao's heart, and even the gloomy purple mist in the sky became extremely clear.
"Quick! Come with me into town! ”
No matter what the Yin and Evil Great Array, who cares what soldiers live or die, all the hesitation in his heart has been swept away, Yuan Shao now has only one goal, to enter Luoyang!
……
The distance between Chang'an and Luoyang is six hundred miles, and if you don't change horses, even the elite cavalry of Xiliang will need at least ten days to draw; And now it is not only the Xiliang army who is going to Chang'an, but also the countless eunuchs and nobles who are escorted by them, so until now, the outline of Luoyang has gradually disappeared from the vision of the Sima family.
"Father, hasn't the second brother woken up yet?"
Sima Lang poked in through the curtain of the car, he was still wearing the same butler's clothes, although he was known for his generosity in the future, but now he was still a young man after all, and it was indeed a little difficult for him to sit honestly in the carriage.
"Nope."
Sima Fang, who was in the carriage, glanced at his second son lying beside him and shook his head.
The second child slept without a head or tail, and when he said he would sleep, when he fell asleep, no matter how loud the noise was, he couldn't wake him up. As a father, Sima Fang is not worried about anything else, these two sons have started cultivating at such a young age, and there is nothing to guide at home, and he doesn't understand anything about cultivation, what if this is a madman!
"Well, wait a little longer."
Seeing that his father was so worried on his face, Sima Lang was also powerless, so he could only simply be relieved.
……
"Damn it!"
Zhang Fei looked up, in the sky on the alley, there was a purple mist that was exactly the same as in front of him, and he cursed fiercely, but he was just a general, but he couldn't do anything about this weird purple mist.
"General Zhang! The Lord orders you to return quickly! ”
"Big brother called me!? I'll go over here! ”
Zhang Fei hurriedly responded and immediately took action, not paying attention to the appearance of the herald soldier.
The same scene also happened on Guan Yu's side, if the two heralds were brought together, they would definitely find that these two people looked exactly the same.
Liu Bei was trying in vain to appease the refugees who were panicked by the change in the purple fog in the sky, and when he saw the two righteous brothers rushing back, he hurriedly beckoned the two to come over to discuss countermeasures.
"By the way, what about Zhou Junshi?"
Liu Bei opened his mouth and asked, under his orders earlier, the three of them each led a team to find a way out, but.
Before, he only cared about the big array and the refugees, and didn't notice this, but now he wants to discuss things, and it is when Zhou Ping is used.
"Huh?"
The two were stunned for a moment, looked at each other, and both saw some doubts in each other's eyes.
"Did the second brother see Junshi Zhou along the way?"
Zhang Fei opened his mouth and asked, the lanes in Luoyang City are staggered and complicated, even if the two of them explore separately, they have met each other a few times when they turn around, but that Zhou Ping, he has never encountered each other.
“…… No. ”
Guan Yu shook his head with a solemn expression.
Seeing the two of them like this, Liu Bei chuckled in his heart, and his face instantly lost blood.
Not to mention being trapped by this weird purple mist now, now even his military advisors are missing, could it be that this Luoyang is really his fate?!
No, it won't!
In a desperate situation, the determination of this man, who would sigh "resurrection of the flesh" in the future, suddenly became firm, he looked at Guan Zhang and the others, and his eyes burst into light again.
"Yun Chang, you take a team of people to find Zhou Junshi, if you encounter any accidents, self-protection first; Yide, you will join me to appease the people and move them to empty houses for refuge, although I don't know if you can resist the purple mist when it falls, at least you can reassure everyone now. ”
"Yes!"
Seeing that the elder brother himself was reinvigorated, the hearts of the two also stabilized, and they shouted in unison.
"Yo, I just wanted to say that it's not interesting to kill the lost dog, but I didn't expect your big ears to cheer up by themselves."
And at this moment, among the closest handful of refugees to the three people, some sarcastic voices came out.
"What people!"
The three of them followed the voice and looked over, the person who spoke was tall and strong, and with the throwing of a paper talisman in his hand, an incomparable momentum instantly erupted from his body.
"Lu Bu!"
