The neighing of the people in his ears quickly overshadowed the sound of wind and rain, and Zhang Meng roughly estimated that there would never be less than a hundred people and horses gathered outside the courtyard. Looking back, Liu Xie's figure disappeared, and at the same time, the "jingle bell" sound suddenly appeared, and a large number of armor soldiers poured in from the courtyard gate.

Zhang Meng secretly smiled bitterly: "I just came out of the wolf's mouth in the courtyard of the Shi family, I didn't want to enter the tiger's den in the courtyard of this house, I was lucky." ”

These armor soldiers are armed with cocks, and most of them wear two armors with shawls, and a few also wear hoods, and their equipment is excellent, even if they are not as elite as the armor of the Tiger Ben Forbidden Army, they are by no means comparable to the ordinary county soldiers who wear leather armor or even cloth clothes in the local area.

In the blink of an eye, the armor soldiers in front of Zhang Meng gathered more and more, and countless armor pieces reflected the cold light of slaughter under the washing of the rain, and he stood in front of the front hall with his sword held high, standing still.

Ji Xuan also came out of the cracks and stood side by side with Zhang Meng.

"What the hell are these people coming from?" Ji Xuan frowned.

Zhang Meng said in a deep voice: "Don't panic, I'll deal with it." ”

The heavy rain is like a note, and there are countless armor soldiers in the courtyard. The crowd was crowded, but seeing that Zhang Meng and Ji Xuan were burly and had blades in their hands, they couldn't figure out the details and didn't rush in. They shouted and screamed in a bluff across the front yard, listening to the accents, all of them were from the Northwest.

After a little confrontation, someone suddenly shouted: "Sima is here!" As the soldiers were commanded, all of them immediately consciously expanded to both sides, forming a narrow slit.

Zhang Meng looked fixedly, and a fully armored Angzang man walked through the crowd and strode closer.

This man is of medium stature, with big shoulders and a round waist, as if he is one size wider than others. He also wore two armors, but it can be seen from the compact posture of walking that he was also wrapped in a tight-fitting armor in nine out of ten in the two armors, that is, the so-called "heavy clothes and two armors". From this, it can be seen that the man in front of him must be a fierce general who is accustomed to charging into battle, and of course he is also the leader of this group of armor soldiers.

"Who is you?" The fierce man shouted like thunder, glared at Zhang Meng, and thrust the spear in his hand upside down in front of him, "Report your name!" ”

Zhang Menghong responded: "Dunhuang Zhang Chengying! ”

The fierce man looked Zhang Meng up and down, as if smiling: "What is Dunhuang Zhang Chengying?" However, you are neatly dressed and hung like this, far better than the average official car ride, I don't look like a country horseman, but like a rebellious minister and thief who escaped from the palace. With that, he grasped the shaft of the spear with one hand, and his eyes flashed with a fierce light.

Zhang Meng looked as usual, didn't answer, and deliberately asked: "Where is Dong Zhuo?" He combined the knowledge of the two worlds, and roughly made a general judgment on the origin of these horses.

"Hmm, how do you know that the lord is coming, ......" This time it really took effect, the fierce man was slightly surprised, and was shocked by Zhang Meng's calm and calm performance, and hesitated in his heart, but in the end, he relied on his own people to be powerful, and still responded in a tough voice, "What kind of character Dong Gong is, how can you let this kid call him famous!" ”

"Looks like I guessed right."

Zhang Meng was even more confident, and his eyes were like torches: "Who are you?" ”

The fierce man crossed his waist with one hand, released the shaft of the spear with the other hand and raised his thumb to face himself: "Dong Gongjun rode Sima Guo Yan in front!" Then he commanded, "Boy, you are blocking the door, but what secret is hidden behind you?" ”

"It turned out to be Guo Yan, a fierce general in Dong Zhuo's army." Zhang Meng nodded secretly, and at the same time sighed at Guo Yan's physique and might, "In the Shi Family Courtyard before, I was one against four, and I still have the strength to spare, if I change to a fully armed fierce man like Guo Yan, even if there are twice as many people on the other side, it will not be enough for him to see." In this era, the gap between the poor people and the military generals who have been working hard all year round or the soldiers who practice martial arts is too great to be the same. ”

Guo Yan was impatient and shouted, "Get out of the way!" ”

"There are nobles in the backyard, and Feier and other hills can be seen. Ask me to get out of the way, unless Dong Gong comes in person. ”

Zhang Meng didn't know the intention of this Dong Zhuo army to come here, but the Son of Heaven was in the backyard, he had the responsibility of guarding, and if he retreated from the battle, he would be laughed at if it was spread out. Ji Xuan said that he had blocked a sword for King Chen Liuwang before, and he had just solved the siege for the Son of Heaven by mistake, these were all real credits, and now he didn't know what benefits these credits could bring him, but he was not willing to fall short. More importantly, according to some cognitions in his previous life, he judged that as long as the emperor came forward, Dong Zhuojun at this time might not dare to really do it. All things considered, instead of cringe, it's better to give it a go.

Guo Yan didn't buy it, but became interested: "Oh? Noble people, we should treat each other with courtesy, why hide and disappear? Hmph, isn't this your thief fishing in troubled waters and secretly hiding a lover who took advantage of the chaos to rob him......" said while beckoning to a group of armor soldiers, "Give me a good search!" ”

The armor soldiers agreed in unison, and the sound shook the roof tiles.

Seeing the situation, Zhang Meng took two steps back, pulled out more than half of the saber with a "brush" of his hand, and said solemnly: "Those who trespass will not be killed!" ”

As soon as the words came out, the power was very strong, and Ji Xuan was also waiting for him, and the soldiers hesitated and looked at Guo Yan one after another.

Guo Yan sneered and pulled out his spear: "Military order, those who obstruct our army's search will be killed." ”

The armor light was dazzling, and with the surging flickering of the armor soldiers, the layers of clusters were blocked like walls, and they surrounded Zhang Meng.

Such a scene is much more dangerous than in the courtyard of the historian. Even though Zhang Meng learned the art of martial arts since he was a child and has a reputation for bravery, it is difficult for him to block hundreds of opponents alone.

For a while, the bright blades of countless guns and halberds were close at hand, and it seemed that they were going to be gathered in the next moment!

At the last moment, Guo Yan suddenly shouted for some reason: "Wait! ”

The soldiers who were about to make a big move were puzzled, and when they looked back at Guo Yan, Zhang Meng also looked at him.

When it was, he saw a black horse galloping into the courtyard, and the horse neighed, and the knight jumped off the horse skillfully without waiting for its front hooves to land.

The knight took his whip and pressed his sword, and as if no one was around, he strode into the courtyard with his head held high. Everywhere they passed, the soldiers were like the wind and grass, kneeling on one knee with their blades in their hands, bowing their heads and not daring to look directly.

"My lord."

The knight stopped when he was five steps away from Zhang Meng, and at this time Guo Yan seemed to be a different person, bowing his eyebrows and saluting respectfully. Standing on his side beside the tall and majestic knight like an iron tower, his original protruding physique was suddenly dwarfed.

Zhang Meng looked at the knight through the rain and mist, and under the hood, there was a majestic face, and the skin exposed between the thick hairs was as hard as a knife and axe and covered with ravines, all revealing the vicissitudes of life and frost of half a horse.

"Who is this person?"

The knight raised his whip and pointed at Zhang Meng, his voice was not loud but full of energy.

"Zhang Meng in the facial features!"

Without waiting for Guo Yan's introduction, Zhang Meng first reported his home, although the knight in front of him had not yet identified himself, he had already guessed the origin of the other party.

The Northwest Blue Wolves who have experienced most of their lives inside and outside the courtyard are all surrendered at this moment, and they are all willing to serve their lives.

When Dong Zhuo arrived, the scene was very different. He raised his head slightly, saw the two people guarding in front of the hall clearly, and smiled at Zhang Meng: "Langzhong with facial features? Lang official in the palace. The left eyebrow moved, and the eyes that were originally slightly worried were slightly glowing, "Your Majesty is also here, hmph, it seems that I have found the right one, why don't you see Gai Yuan?" ”

Zhang Meng said: "The Son of Heaven and King Chen Liu, etc., are all in the backyard, waiting for the loyal ministers to rescue them. He couldn't grasp Dong Zhuo's reality and decided to test it with words first.

"Lintao Dong Zhuo, can he be regarded as a loyal minister?" Dong Zhuo took his hand behind and asked rhetorically.

Zhang Meng thought to himself: "Listening to Dong Zhuo's tone, it doesn't look like it's messing around, it's much easier." Give him some face and stabilize the situation first. After thinking for a moment, he smiled and said: "It turned out that Dong Gong had arrived, and he was disappointed." ”

Dong Zhuo said at this time: "Don't be polite, take me to see the Son of Heaven." "I looked impatient.

Zhang Meng glanced around Dong Zhuo twice, and said slowly: "The Son of Heaven is wandering and frightened, and now he is panicked like a frightened bird. There are many bears under Dong Gong's tent, and they are unkempt, and their sudden appearance is afraid of disturbing the holy car, so it is better to let them exit the courtyard and wait, and the prince will follow me into the pilgrimage to the Son of Heaven alone. "The original owner has been familiar with the scriptures since he was a child, although he is not knowledgeable, but he has been exposed to it, and these words are also easy to come by.

Guo Yan said: "Lord, this kid is blocked in every way to prevent the lowly from entering, there may be fraud in it, don't trust him." ”

Dong Zhuo listened and hesitated.

Zhang Meng continued: "For the courtiers to meet the monarch, the sword will not enter the palace. Now although the Son of Heaven is covered with dust, and the tile houses here are not palaces, the etiquette system still cannot be messed up. If Dong Gong did not have the permission of the Son of Heaven, but forcibly broke in with swords and armored soldiers, I am afraid that it is not an act of loyalty, but an act of trespassing the prohibition. ”

Dong Zhuo said: "The first emperor Yan drove for more than four months, and the court and China have always been turbulent. If the Son of Heaven does not come to our army quickly, he is afraid of accidents. In this case, I will not go in, and you will ask Your Majesty to come out. ”

Zhang Meng shook his head and said: "Since ancient times, only the king summons the ministers, and there is no reason for the ministers to summon the king. The top and bottom are unknown, the king is not the king, the minister is not the minister, and it is indecent. ”

Dong Zhuo clenched his hands into fists and frowned: "What?" You have to let me go in with you alone before you stop? Saying that, he turned sideways, "You keep saying that the Son of Heaven is here, but you don't see the Son of Heaven inside and outside, how can I trust you?" The season was chaotic, there were thieves everywhere, and I rushed into it alone, which was very unsafe. ”

Zhang Meng smiled: "It's not safe? Seeing the Son of Heaven, how can Dong Gong have scruples? ”

Dong Zhuo said coldly: "When I see the Son of Heaven, I have no scruples, I am afraid that there are other people hiding inside." ”

"Others?" Zhang Meng slowly drew his sword, "Who is Dong Gong afraid of?" Is it Zhang Rang, He Jin, Yuan Kui, or Yuan Shao? ”

Guo Yan couldn't help but shout: "Lord, Hugh and this kid have more tongue twists, and let him be killed with a spear!" "Speaking of which, look at Dong Zhuo.

At this moment, Dong Zhuo Meiyu was gloomy, and he didn't say a word despite the wind and rain.

Guo Yan made up his mind, while shouting and scolding, he held a spear forward, and the left and right armor soldiers saw the momentum together, and wanted to attack Zhang Mengqun.

Zhang Meng gritted his teeth and was about to fight, but who knew that the voice behind him was cold: "Before the Son of Heaven stomps, who dares to make a mistake!" ”

The white shadow flickered, and the person was already in front of Zhang Meng.

Guo Yan said angrily: "No matter who it is, all those who stand in the way will be killed!" ”

But I heard the man shouting: "Dong Zhuo, you ungrateful puppet, do you know who he is, dare to be a killer?" ”

"Isn't it ......"

When Dong Zhuo heard this, his mind was racing, and he hurriedly stood up against the wind and motioned for all the armor soldiers to retreat.

The wind was howling, the rolling thunder was coming one after another, and the courtyard that was originally in chaos was silent at this moment.
