Hou Lan seemed to have returned to his usual appearance, and said with a smile, "Don't worry, now that you and Zhong Ying's men and horses are more than 2,000 people, I don't want to risk returning to Beijing, this mountain is safe for the time being." ”

"Our family has already sent someone to inform Jingluo's side, I believe that a thousand guards are on their way to arrive now, and they will leave when they come."

"Let Your Highness sleep a little longer, come, sit with me."

Hou Lan sat down on the steps without disgust, and patted the steps next to him, motioning for Sun Ming to sit down.

"I yelled at you just now, you won't blame Father." Hou Lan turned his head to look at Sun Ming.

"Of course not, Father is also anxious about His Highness, and Junyi will not take it to heart."

Hou Lan patted Sun Ming's shoulder with relief, "If there are a few more capable juniors like you, maybe the big man will really be able to turn the tide and create a prosperous world again." ”

"Father has raised the righteousness of the king, and I still have a lot to learn." How dare Sun Ming hold up, he replied carefully, in short, there was no big mistake.

"After returning to Beijing, this time your Savior has merit, Father will face Your Majesty, ask for merit for you, work hard, after tonight's events, Your Highness will definitely rely on you more, and Your Highness will entrust you in the future."

Sun Ming got up and saluted again, although Hou Lan kept saying that there was no need to be formal, but the respect that should be given to Sun Ming was still a lot.

It can be seen that Hou Lan is in a very good mood now, and then he started a family routine with Sun Ming with great interest.

After a while, there was a sound in the inner room, and it was Liu Xie who woke up.

As soon as Liu Xie woke up, Sun Ming and the others outside the room also got up and swept off their clothes when they heard the movement, and walked into the apse.

Liu Xie naturally stretched out his hand and was led by Hou Lan, and when he saw that Sun Ming was also there, he also showed the smile that a child should have.

"Ahran, I'm hungry, do you have anything to eat?"

"Of course there is, we have already instructed the East Chef to prepare breakfast, and we will go back to Jingluo after eating."

It stands to reason that they still have to go to the altar to worship today, but when this happened, Hou Lan canceled all the following activities.

Sun Ming was about to retire, but was stopped by Liu Xie, "General Sun, don't go, let's have dinner together." ”

While waiting for Liu Xie to eat, Hou Lan also told Liu Xie the ins and outs of last night's incident, don't look at Liu Xie is only five years old, he can distinguish many things, and he also has his own favorites.

Sure enough, after Hou Lan finished speaking, Liu Xie said angrily, "What a hateful uncle, I have called him for several years, and he actually wants to harm me." ”

"Ah Lan really worked hard last night, in order to protect me, you stayed to fight the thieves, and I will let Ah Dad promote you to an official position after I return to Beijing."

After he said that, seeing that Sun Ming was still there, he also added, "General Sun is also indispensable, I will let Daddy reward you well." ”

Sun Ming immediately knelt down to thank him, Liu Xie trotted over and pulled Sun Ming up, and then ran back to the couch to continue eating.

Hou Lan saw that the fire was almost fanned, so he said a few seemingly objective words to show that he was not partial.

"Your Highness, the matter has not been clarified, let's just say that there is a suspicion, not necessarily Uncle Guo, but unfortunately that Lu Yu is dead, or you will find out if you ask."

"Uncle Guo just has a close relationship with them, but that group of scholars can't run away, and some of the masked thieves are the disciples of everyone in Luoyang."

When Hou Lan said this, tears also came as soon as he said, "No matter who wants to murder His Highness, even if we do our best, we will protect Your Highness." ”

When the few of them were full, Li Gong also came in and reported that everything was ready.

The new 1,000 guards have also been put in place, and with Hou Lan's order, more than 3,000 people have embarked on the road back to Beijing step by step.

Liu Xie even chose to ride a horse with Sun Ming, and his little master loved his successor so much, which also made Hou Lan happy.

Every step is heavy, and it is conceivable that after they go back, the entire Jingluo force will have another big purge, and the first unlucky one is the Shi clan.

When they entered Luoyang, Luoyang had already entered a state of alert, and there were more patrols and guards on the streets, and the guards surrounded Liu Xie and went straight to the palace.

Sima Tong and his father Sun Wuji and others got the news and waited at the city gate early, and Sun Ming also saw them, but he didn't pay attention to them.

Because there are regulations in the imperial court that you can't ride a horse in Jingluo City, of course, excluding Liu Xie and Hou Lan, because Sun Ming took Liu Xie together, which is equivalent to assisting Liu Xie to ride a horse, so he didn't get off the horse, nor did he greet others casually.

The people on both sides of the road watched curiously, and only after the team passed by, did they dare to talk about it, saying anything.

But today's monstrous drama in the palace is nothing to do with Sun Ming.

In this way, they walked all the way to the palace gate, and only a few of them dismounted, and Sun Ming also said goodbye to Liu Xie and Hou Lan.

Because Sun Ming was a foreign minister and was not summoned by Emperor Ling of Han, he was not qualified to enter the palace, so as soon as he arrived at the palace gate, he had to go back.

"Your Highness, Junyi went back first." Sun Ming knelt down and bowed to Liu Xie.

Liu Xie waved his hand at Sun Ming reluctantly, "General Sun is free, and he wants to come to the palace to see me." ”

Sun Ming saluted Hou Lan again, and then led his men and horses to turn around and go back.

Sima Tong and the others also followed, and when they saw Sun Ming coming over, he greeted him, "Lord, are you okay?" ”

Sun Ming's clothes were dirty and torn, but he was mentally fine, "I'm fine, let's go back first, and then talk about it when we go to the house." ”

Sun Ming's personal soldiers opened the way in front, and the first few personal soldiers kept drinking away from the crowd, and they were rude to the people at every turn, and Sun Ming felt that it was too much before.

But now that it was his turn, he realized that this was the best way to ensure his safety, and no one knew if a little girl lying on the ground would take out a knife from her arms in the next second.

Walking all the way back to his house, Sun Ming first went to take a bath to eliminate his fatigue, and when Sun Ming returned to the main hall, Sima Tong and his father had been waiting for a long time.

Sun Ming sat down and told them about the situation last night, and told them not to walk around for the past two days, and then he went to rest, he was already tired.

Sun Ming can rest, but Hou Lan and the others cannot, and the palace has exploded at this time.

Hou Ran specially didn't even change his clothes, which was definitely not possible under normal circumstances, because this was disrespectful to Emperor Han Ling.

But there are no absolutes, just like now, he led Liu Xie and went straight to the West Palace, the residence of Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty.

Emperor Ling of Han also knew about the rebellion in the Yuli Palace, and he specially came back from the West Garden and came to the dormitory to wait for Hou Lan and the others to come back.

As soon as he saw Emperor Han Ling, Liu Xie couldn't help crying.

Emperor Han Ling didn't think Liu Xie was dirty, hugged him, comforted him a few words, and pulled Liu Xie to sit down, it can be seen that Emperor Han Xian still loves this little son very much.

Hou Lan knelt in front of Emperor Han Ling and told him the specific situation of last night, and Liu Xie also added by the side from time to time.

The more Emperor Han Xian listened, the more angry he became, before he died, someone dared to attack his son and favored ministers, and this was worth it.

He slapped his big hand and said angrily, "This is a rebellion!" That group of corrupt Confucians is plotting rebellion, the last time it was dealt with too lightly, this time I want to punish their nine clans! ”
