Dong Cheng is good because he is self-aware, he is the kind of person who has no ambition, and he also knows that he has no great ability, although he also looks down on those eunuchs, but the same interests are together.

He saw that Sun Ming was so favored by Liu Xie today, and he also had the intention of making friends, which is the central trend of the future.

"Dong Situ invited, but the officials didn't dare to disobey, and they will come to visit another day." Sun Ming also gave Dong Cheng enough face in front of everyone.

"Okay, well, the old man will sweep the couch and wait. Haha"

After that, he introduced Sun Ming to a young man next to him, "This is Chen Chen, now my subordinate is Situ Peng, and I will ask General Sun to take care of him in the future." ”

"You're polite, Ming also has a lot of respect for talented people, let me continue the Han Dynasty together and recreate the scene of peace and prosperity."

Sun Ming dealt with his colleagues like this, and Dong Zhuo walked over, "Hahaha, Brother Xian is really a pleasant person, His Royal Highness has been so partial to you when he sees you in a few days, it's amazing, it's amazing." ”

Seeing Dong Zhuo coming, the group of officials immediately showed disdain, and even Dong Cheng didn't look down on Dong Zhuo, so he walked away after a while.

Even Sun Ming teased with emotion, "Brother Zhong Ying is not very likable, everyone walks away as soon as you come, haha." ”

Dong Zhuo shrugged helplessly, "The scholar clan is like this, everything depends on seniority, plus I have been separated from them, it is normal to look down on me Dong Zhuo." ”

Sun Ming was also amused by his appearance, "It's okay, they ignore you, I'll accompany you, go, find a place to drink some wine." ”

As soon as Dong Zhuo heard about drinking, his mood immediately improved, "Let's go, get drunk to relieve a thousand sorrows, if you don't have to worry, you can get drunk first." ”

The two of them found a small pavilion, let people get a few jars of wine, a few side dishes, and were leisurely drinking wine.

Dong Zhuo also talked about his previous affairs while chatting, Sun Ming just wanted to know more about Dong Zhuo, and also accompanied him to listen to the story.

Two hours later, the adjutant of the Wei Wei Li Palace hurriedly ran over, "Two generals, something happened." ”

Sun Ming recognized him and asked Li Meng to let him in, and the adjutant panted and said to the two, "The Yulin army went and returned, just arrived, there were about three hundred people, and they did not get the permission of the prince, and they are now stopped by the guards at the entrance of the stairs at the foot of the mountain, and they are in a confrontation. ”

"The prince is afraid of an accident, so let you wait for the soldiers to come to protect it immediately, this is the talisman given by the prince, and the guard is facing each other in front of the stage, be quick."

Sun Ming saw that it was indeed Hou Lan's talisman, but fortunately, Hou Lan had already made arrangements, and the two of their personal soldiers were hiding not far away.

Sun Ming put away the talisman, turned to Li Meng and said, "You go, take the trail down the mountain, I don't worry about others, bring my own soldiers over, go quickly." ”

Li Meng knew that the situation was urgent, gritted his teeth and replied, "The owner, you have to wait for me." "With that, the smoke disappeared.

Dong Zhuo also sent his adjutant Guo Yan to move the rescue troops.

Sun Ming also regretted a little in his heart at the moment that he didn't bring Zhao Yun, and after explaining Li Meng, Sun Ming came to the apse alone, that is, where Liu Xie rested.

At this time, the guards here are very strict, and Hou Lan has already arranged a hundred guards around this apse, and Sun Ming held the talisman to guard through the Daodao before coming to the hall.

Hou Lan was kneeling on the couch and explaining to several guards, when he saw Sun Ming coming, he beckoned, and Sun Ming also came to him.

It was the first time Sun Ming saw Hou Lan with such a panicked expression.

"You probably know the situation, Junyi, right? That Yulin Army is not good, then Liu Ze is afraid that he has changed his mind, and our family is also careless. ”

"I just asked the guards to arrest He Jin and the others, they don't seem to know, and all of them have been imprisoned by me."

"Only the few people who are missing Lu Yu are gone, I'm afraid something big will happen tonight."

"It doesn't matter if our family dies, the important thing is that His Highness is still in the inner room of the apse, His Highness must not have an accident, this is the dragon vein of the Han Empire."

Sun Ming followed Hou Lan's words, "Father, Ming has already sent someone to transfer troops, and they will arrive in half an hour, so I will go to the foot of the mountain to help Li Weiwei first." ”

Hou Lan grabbed Sun Ming's hand, "No, Junyi, you stay here." ”

"Our family has given you an important task, once something happens, immediately take His Highness and run quickly, you are alone, don't bring other guards, we can't trust others at this time."

"Then go and hide, you understand."

Sun Ming immediately replied, "Father, we can go together, let's go now, let Li Weiwei take it, and Zhong Ying and I are here..."

Before Sun Ming's words were finished, Hou Lan's hand was placed on Sun Ming's head and touched it, and he smiled with relief, "Junyi, you have a heart, but our family can't leave, with my distraction, the thieves will no longer bother to find His Highness." ”

After that, without giving Sun Ming a chance to reply, he walked straight into the inner room, and after a short time, he hugged the sleepy Liu Xie out.

handed Liu Xie to Sun Ming, "Your Highness, then Lu Yu rebelled, the people are gone, they want to kill Your Highness, I will let Junyi protect you." ”

As soon as Hou Lan finished speaking, a crisp and loud bell sounded in the silent night sky, and then many bright lights lit up in the distance, which were torches.

From the mountain, there was a fierce shouting of killing.

After a short time, one of the guards came in and said, "Some masked bandits have appeared in the front hall, the number is unknown, and they have already exchanged with the guards, the prince and His Highness go quickly." ”

When Hou Lan heard this, he immediately urged Sun Ming to leave quickly, but Sun Ming had no choice but to run out of the apse with Liu Xie in his arms, and with the help of the cover of the night, according to his memories during the day, he ran towards the path.

Hou Lan drew his sword, stood in front of the hall, and said loudly to the guards, "You are all Hanchen, and now in order to protect the safety of Your Highness, you must go all out to kill the enemy bravely, and our family will fight the enemy with you." ”

After that, he led more than 100 guards in the apse to the front hall, and he wanted to buy Liu Xie time to escape.

At this time, the Yulin army at the foot of the mountain heard the bell and also began to attack, and the three hundred Yulin army rushed up as if they were desperate, and could barely see the enemy in front of them brandishing their weapons through the night.

Although the more than 300 guards led by Li Gong were one-on-one, they slightly lost to the Yulin army.

Because this is the main road up the mountain, there are mountains on both sides, and it is impossible to spread out the formation, and roughly only the two or thirty people in the front row are fighting, and the back ones are blocked there.

Relying on the strong ability of individual soldiers, the Yulin Army beat the guards back again and again.

Relying on the condescending terrain, it still couldn't stop the Yulin army, Li Gong turned his head and shouted, "Block the front row, and the back ones will pick up stones or branches to smash the group of rebels, so that they can also try the strength of our guards." ”

At the command of Li Gong, the guards in the back row picked up what they could throw on the ground and threw them down.

After joining the long-range attack, he drove the Yulin Army back to the bottom of the ladder for a while, although it was barely blocked, but it was impossible to save the Yuli Palace, at least for now.

Now come to see Sun Ming's side, he took Liu Xie to run for a while, not caring about being scratched by the branches, so he could only run with the help of the moonlight.

He also looked back from time to time to make sure anyone was following.

Liu Xie, a five-year-old child in his arms, encountered this disaster, but he didn't cry or make trouble, and clinged to Sun Ming.

He kept running through the rugged and dark mountain road until he stepped on the air, fell on his heel, and fell into a quagmire.

Sun Ming couldn't care about himself, and hugged Liu Xie in his arms to the side, and he got up panting.
