Chapter 22: Kill!
The night was falling, the sun was dark, the moon was gone, the stars were dim, and the whole land was shrouded in darkness, and patches of white flowers were scattered in the palace.
Liu He's small body was retracted, and he stopped in a side hall, Xun You opened the palace door, and a pair of dark eyes stared at his departing figure.
A slightly trembling voice mixed with a slight smile came out: "Mouse, I have caught you, what is your purpose?"
The moment Xun You walked out of the palace, his face changed instantly, large droplets of sweat flowed down his forehead, and even cold sweat broke out all over his body instantly.
He knew he was exposed!
It was completely unexpected, he didn't know exactly what went wrong, he forcibly restrained his chaotic thoughts, and took a deep breath to calm himself.
"I was exposed, but the ultimate goal of contacting Wushuang Hou must not be known, and Yuan Shao must not have been exposed.
Otherwise, I'll be arrested."
Xun You thought frantically as he walked away quickly, "It may also be that you want to calculate it, but how can you calculate it?
The Peerless Marquis was ready to die!"
Xun You's eyes were all cold, and the darkness in his personality erupted wildly at this moment, "Kill Dong Zhuo, even if the blood flows like a river!"
"What?"
Xun Chen and Yuan Shao were shocked, Xun You's face was very ugly, if it weren't for Xun Chen's existence, he would never have told Yuan Shao about it, Yuan Shao just had to carry it out.
Now as soon as I say it, I'm afraid that there will be twists and turns out of thin air, if Yuan Shao is coaxed, then everything will be over!
Xun Chen immediately said anxiously to Yuan Shao the moment he listened: "Lord, the plan to assassinate Dong Zhuo must be stopped, this is simply a gamble, even if it is to go back to Hebei to raise troops, it is better than this choice.
Gongda, you also put away your thoughts, if you fold here, do you think about your parents, do you think about your family?"
Xun You's heart sank when he heard this, this is what he was worried about.
Xun Chen is his cousin and Yuan Shao's adviser, no matter who he is worried about, Xun Chen will definitely dissuade him.
Hearing Xun Chen's words, Yuan Shao was silent, there were countless thoughts in his mind, countless things and people flashed, and finally fell on Luo Kong.
Yuan Shao sighed softly: "Youruo, Gongda is unwilling to stop, and Wushuang Marquis can't stop either, how long can the emperor wait?
If I flee back to Hebei now without doing anything, what will I do if I hold a sword in front of Dong Zhuo?
If the assassination of Dong Zhuo fails, then there is naturally nothing to say.
But without a fight, be cowardly, retreat an inch today, retreat an inch tomorrow, and retreat whenever you encounter difficulties and obstacles in the future?
Then how can you lift the three-foot sword to clear the world? My sword is not a disadvantage!"
Yuan Shao's voice was very soft, but his voice was higher than the sound of heavenly thunder!
Xun Chen was silent when he heard this, as a strategist, he made an idea, once the lord made up his mind, his goal was to increase the chance of victory, and he secretly calculated the power in his hand in his heart, bowed down and said, "Lord, Chen understands."
Xun You looked at Yuan Shao, his eyes were rippling, if it weren't for Yuan Shao's ministers, there were too many ministers, both Yingchuan and Hebei, he was ready to defect to Yuan Shao.
However, there is an uncle in Yuan Shao's camp, even if Yuan Shao can really achieve great things in the future, as Xun Chen's nephew, it is not difficult for him to change the court, this is the survival of the family.
Yuan Shao faced Xun You, but he didn't speak, Xun You bowed, and then left here.
Looking at Xun You's departing figure, Yuan Shao touched the saber on his waist, as if he was talking to himself, and seemed to be asking someone, "Can you save Wushuang Hou?"
In the palace, since Xun You left Luokong, he has been maintaining a posture looking at the gradually darkening sky, and since Xun You came to him and said the plan, he has been thinking about all possibilities.
If Li Ru hadn't found out, everything would have gone smoothly.
The probability of his own survival is very small, and the probability of the emperor surviving is more than that
larger, the premise is that he can withstand the counterattack of the Xiliang army.
Tang Ji slipped out of the hall and came to Luo Kong's side, she circled around Luo Kong, Liu He's death didn't hurt Tang Ji so much.
Luo Kong looked at Tang Ji, who had no queen majesty at all, and couldn't help but think of his daughter, gently touched her head and said, "Queen, are you afraid of death?"
Tang Ji was enjoying the expression on his face, and instantly grabbed the corner of Luo Kong's clothes, and said with some trembling: "What are you talking about, Junhou, of course you are afraid, just like Liu He."
Luo Kong smiled, touched Tang Ji again and said, "It's okay, the minister just talks about it casually."
A queen of Tang Ji's status does not have any political rights at all, and she has no influence on the current situation.
Even Dong Zhuo and Li Ru wouldn't do anything to her, but Luo Kong was unwilling to let Tang Ji take any risks.
He wanted Tang Ji to live well in this world, a little girl should not be involved in these conspiracies, thinking like this, Luo Kong took off the jade pendant from his waist, handed it to Tang Ji, and said softly: "Queen, you take this jade pendant, if you encounter danger in the future, take off the jade pendant, saying that it was given to you by Wushuang Hou Luokong, as long as you can send you to Zhaocheng, there will be heavy thanks."
Tang Ji was very surprised, took the jade pendant, flipped left and right, liked it very much, and said with a smile: "Junhou, my father said before, the elders give it, don't dare to resign, you teach me to read, you are my teacher, you give it to me, I will not refuse."
She is young, she was born young, her face is young and delicate, she shows a sweet smile under joy, her thin white teeth, and her blinking pupils are very cute, so that Luo Kong only feels like a mountain spring ding dong ding dong falling in his heart, a burst of coolness.
Luo Kong stood up and walked into the hall, Tang Ji following her.
Empress Dowager He is extremely haggard, although she can't hide her beauty, but now she has completely lost the momentum of controlling the world.
Looking at Luo Kong who walked in, she forcibly pulled out a smile and said complainingly, "How good would it be if Zhang Jiao hadn't died?
Although he was the one who overthrew the Mandate of Heaven of the Han Dynasty, he was a gentleman.
If Zhang Jiao had died earlier, how good would it have been for the prince to stay in Luoyang City and not run west with his arguments?
How did it end up where it is now?
He'er is dead now, will something happen to Bian'er, Junhou, do you think Bian'er will have an accident?
Dong Zhuo is a thief!
He's a beast demon!"
When people are extremely frightened, they will begin to think crankily, Empress Dowager He is in such a state now, seeing that Luo Kong did not speak, Empress Dowager He took two steps forward.
Her coquettish face suddenly lit up and said, "Bian'er will definitely die, Dong Zhuo will definitely kill him, without a child, how will I live in the future?"
Junhou, you are Luo's son, Dong Zhuo must not want to kill you, you give me a child."
Tang Ji and Luo Kong were directly shocked, they didn't expect Empress Dowager He to say this, which shows how messed up her square has become.
Luo Kong's expression was complicated, he wanted to tell the Empress Dowager He very much, if Dong Zhuo really wanted to kill the emperor, you, the Empress Dowager, would not be able to escape, and there was no need to think about how to live without a son in the second half of his life.
But looking at the emaciated Empress Dowager He, who had no opinion for a long time, he still didn't say such sharp words, but just said, "Empress Dowager, you are tired, go down and rest."
In this palace, he is the one who dominates, not the titular supreme ruler, the Queen Mother and the Emperor.
There is nothing in Luoyang City, under the light of the sky.
In the palace, under the high palace walls, the courtiers walked in twos and threes, passing through the palace gates, and came to the palace.
Between the ministers walking, there is a big chariot coming towards the palace, and there is a sturdy figure sitting on it, which is Dong Zhuo, the powerful minister of the court.
There was no one in front of him, and all the courtiers were walking behind or behind him, looking at Da Yuan with hatred and fear in their eyes, and some with deep disdain in their eyes.
The group walked to the square in front of the temple
, Suddenly the field of vision broadened, and the white decoration on the roof of the hall brought a touch of solemnity to this majestic palace.
The Xiliang army that surrounded the big chariot instantly dispersed and headed towards the corners of the various palace walls, leaving only the soldiers carrying the chariot forward.
This is the opportunity Xun You said, when Dong Zhuo came to the palace, he usually did not bring a lot of soldiers and horses, because most of the forbidden troops in the palace were pretended to be Xiliang soldiers.
And when entering the square in front of the palace, according to the rules, the courtiers had to remove their armor, but Dong Zhuo had the privilege of going to the palace with a sword, but under the strong opposition of the courtiers, Dong Zhuo still cared about the political influence and made some compromises.
The mutation suddenly appeared, and hundreds of all-armored soldiers held weapons in their hands, and suddenly rushed out of the corridors on both sides, and all the courtiers instantly lost their souls and some people roared angrily: "Dong Zhuo, you dare!"
Then I heard these soldiers shouting loudly: "It's Dong Zhuo on the chariot, shoot arrows!" Archery!"
It turned out to be the one who came to assassinate Dong Zhuo!
The courtiers who reacted fled in the direction away from Dong Zhuo's chariot, and Xun You, who was mixed at the back of the crowd, looked at these soldiers who suddenly killed in amazement.
He immediately thought that this must be another force in Luoyang City, the original Taiping Army among those forbidden armies!
How could these people come to kill Dong Zhuo?
Since Dong Zhuo entered Luoyang City, especially after Luo's departure, he has been very close to these Taiping troops, and almost everyone thinks that these Taiping troops have taken refuge in Dong Zhuo.
It is precisely for this reason that Dong Zhuo's strength can Gaia Yuan Shao, and even make everyone unable to resist, the difference in strength is too big, that is almost ten times the strength gap.
But now it seems that these Taiping Army and Dong Zhuo are not only not of the same mind, but even have anti-hearts!
Xun You was annoyed, if he had known about such a situation, he wouldn't have needed to spend so much effort to do those things, the Taiping Army and Yuan Shao should cooperate with each other, and Dong Zhuo would definitely die without a place to be buried.
The reason why Bu Cai and the others did this is very simple, because before Luo Xiao died, he told them how to choose the lord, and these three people took the standards given by Luo Xiao to Dong Zhuo, and the more right they were, the more wrong they became.
This Dong Zhuo basically has no one that can be touched, this is a doomed prince.
The most important thing is that after Dong Zhuo entered Luoyang City, his reputation was worse than that of their Taiping Army.
When they entered Luoyang City, they directly put the emperor first, even so, their reputation among the scholars was not as bad as Dong Zhuo's.
The three brothers together can't go down on the big boat of Dong Zhuo, and they have to completely draw a line with Dong Zhuo.
The Taoist Master said that those who win the hearts of the scholars may not be able to win the world, but if they lose the hearts of the scholars, they will fail, and there is nothing more important than killing Dong Zhuo to win the hearts of the scholars.
Especially after Yuan Shao's incident, the three of them knew that there were many brothers of the former Taiping Army under Yuan Shao's command, and they were in danger, which made the three of them can't help but have a good impression of Yuan Shao.
Killing Dong Zhuo is a vote from the three of Bu Cai to the people of the world!
These Taiping soldiers who suddenly rushed out shot arrows at the chariot, and Dong Zhuo, who was above the chariot, directly turned over and said angrily: "Guard, guard!"
The few remaining guards around him hurriedly pushed away the arrows that were shot, put up their shields, and the Xiliang army that had spread out before rushed over with their blades, and they were about to merge with the Taiping army.
The three of them led by Bu Cai were the most elite Taiping army, and they were fighting with the mind of the elite soldiers' raid, and if the elite soldiers failed to raid, the three of them would not mind leading the army to a big battle with Dong Zhuozhen.
Although Dong Zhuo has many soldiers, he may not be able to play in this palace.
As long as they can kill Dong Zhuo here and throw Dong Zhuo's body out, the Xiliang Army will naturally be self-defeating, just like after the death of the Dao Master, the Taiping Army suddenly became a plate of scattered sand, and now it no longer exists in the world.
With Dong Zhuo's shouting, more and more Xiliang troops poured out of the road, and the three of them knew that they could still fight if they really wanted to, but it was difficult to kill Dong Zhuo, and it was probably difficult to kill if there were too many people.
Zhou Cang was hacked to death
A Xiliang army asked loudly, "Fourth brother, what now?"
Bu Cai shouted loudly while fighting: "Let the brothers gather, the Xiliang army has reinforcements, don't we have it?" Transfer all the brothers in the palace and fight with these Xiliang troops."
"Whew!"
Suddenly, there was the sound of an extremely sharp arrow breaking through the air, followed by a distinct "poof" sound piercing through the flesh.
This voice is so loud that even in such a noisy and chaotic battle, it still attracts the attention of the vast majority of people, and everyone wants to know where it came from and where it is going!
Looking from afar, at the end of the line of sight, under the hidden palace wall, a figure with a knife at his waist and a big bow in his hand was slowly lowering his arm.
The bowstring of the big bow was still trembling, and the figure was not wearing armor, so everyone saw it clearly, it was the peerless Hou Luokong!
How could he have a bow in his hand? How could he have a knife at his waist? Where did his arrows go?
This was not a problem, whether it was the soldiers who were fighting, or the courtiers who were scattered and hiding, they all set their eyes on Dong Zhuo.
Dong Zhuo was nailed to the corner of the wall by a trembling arrow, and the power of that arrow was so great that it even entered the wall for three points!
Dong Zhuo is dead?
Dong Zhuo died so easily?
Everyone was a little incredulous, that powerful minister, the eldest female godminister, died like this?
"He doesn't seem to be Dong Zhuo!"
A gust of wind blew the gauze tent that was covered in front of everyone, completely revealing the true face of Dong Zhuo nailed to the wall.
"It's really not Dong Zhuo."
The figure with a body shape that is extremely similar to Dong Zhuo, but the face is far behind, this figure riding on the chariot is really not Dong Zhuo, but a stand-in!
Xun You's eyes were cold, and he instantly fell into an ice cellar, he looked at Wang Yun with some difficulty, Wang Yun also looked at Xun You in horror and inexplicably, he didn't understand how Dong Zhuo couldn't be here.
Since Dong Zhuo began to take refuge in the past, because of his previous experience of taking refuge in Zhang Jiao and even licking Zhang Jiao, Wang Yun's reputation in Luoyang City is quite bad, and in the eyes of most people, he is a person who tends to be inflammatory, keen on power, and lust for profit.
Dong Zhuo never suspected that Wang Yun had other purposes, although Wang Yun had a bad reputation, but after all, he was still a great Confucian, one of the leaders of the scholars, and one of the ministers of the previous imperial court, he still gladly accepted Wang Yun's refuge.
Wang Yun and Xun You quickly got together, this time to assassinate Dong Zhuo, the seven-star treasure knife worn by Luo Kong's waist was his treasure!
"Li Ru!"
Xun You still doesn't understand what happened, it must be Wang Yun who showed a flaw in front of Li Ru, so what happened now.
So where is Dong Zhuo?
Xun You didn't have time to think about it, he heard the sound of shouting and shouting outside the palace, Bu Cai was so shocked by this heavy change that he couldn't speak, he never expected that there would be other people besides himself who also wanted to kill Dong Zhuo.
When Luo Kong saw that Dong Zhuo was fake, his face immediately changed greatly, and he felt his brain dizzy for a while, "Your Majesty!"
He didn't have time to think at all, so he rushed madly towards the emperor's bedroom, and just when he came to the palace, he saw a column of soldiers from Xiliang, and his eyes instantly darkened.
Those soldiers saw Luo Kong rushing wildly and immediately rushed up, Luo Kong pulled out the seven-star treasure knife, this treasure knife is really worthy of Wang Yun's treasure, it is like cutting iron like mud, the thin armor of those soldiers is like paper in front of the knife, between the blade waves, one by one the soldiers fell, Luo Kong was the strongest group of people under the ten thousand enemies, and now he is crazy burning his own life, it is not inferior to the real ten thousand enemies!
However, for the sake of flexibility, he was only wearing a leather armor on his body, and soon the blood stained his clothes, but he became more and more crazy, and his feet kept rushing forward.
The soldiers of Xiliang were even a little frightened when they saw this, on the battlefield, these ordinary soldiers were not willing to exchange their lives for the physical strength of the enemy general.
The gate of the palace was wide open, and Luo Kong rushed directly in,
Sergeant Xiliang followed behind, but remembering the previous order, he was absolutely not allowed to enter, and he hesitated for a while.
The hall was quite empty, Luo Kong gasped for breath, the wound on his body was bleeding gradually solidified, he took a look in the hall, and heard someone crying softly behind the pillar of the temple, he hurriedly rushed over, sure enough, Tang Ji was curled up, heard footsteps, and immediately cried: "Don't catch me, don't catch me!"
Luo Kong said softly, "Queen, it's Weichen."
Tang Ji's sobbing body stopped, raised his head, and saw that it was Luo Kong, he was stunned for a moment, and then pounced directly, ignoring the blood on Luo Kong's body, and suddenly cried.
Luo Kong held Tang Ji in one hand, while walking towards the apse pointed by Tang Ji, he walked quickly to the apse and heard the sound of struggle, rushed straight in, and saw Empress Dowager He and Liu Bianzheng curled up on the ground in pain, in front of the two of them were two empty cups, Li Ru and a few Xiliang soldiers were guarding beside them.
Luo Kong's body swayed for a moment, and he instantly became angry, he knew that he was late.
"Dong Zhuo! Li Ru! You're damned! You're damned!"
Luo Kong's voice was as cold as the coldest 10,000-year-old ice, but the anger contained in it was like the hottest magma, wanting to destroy everything.
Hearing Luo Kong's voice, Li Ru didn't seem to expect Luo Kong to come here so soon, and he didn't understand why Luo Kong appeared when there were so many Xiliang troops outside the hall, and the whole person was directly stunned.
Several Xiliang soldiers rushed over directly, and then Luo Kong directly stabbed one by one, Luo Kong's eyes stared at Li Ru coldly, and walked over with a knife, Li Ru couldn't help but retreat.
"Rest the wounded military division!"
Seeing this, the general who had been standing beside Li Ru roared angrily, "I am General Huaxiong of Xiliang!"
At a glance, Luo Kong knew that this was a fierce general, if he was on top of the battle array, even if he was afraid that he would not be able to take him in a short time, but so what?
The battlefield has a battlefield style of play, heads-up has heads-up skills, and there is a seven-star sword that sharpens iron like clay!
Luo Kong recalled the Qi Accumulation Technique in the family classics, and when he fitted up, the afterimage of the Seven Star Treasure Knife was almost invisible to the human eye, and the two staggered, leaving a heavy wound on Luo Kong's chest, but the blade in Hua Xiong's hand was directly broken into two, and the gap in the center of the eyebrows was cracked and then suddenly split in half, and Bai Huahua's brain was mixed with blood, and then sprinkled down.
Luo Kong lifted Li Ru up, and then roared angrily, "Where is Dong Zhuo?"
Li Ru's neck was pinched by Luo Kong, and he said with difficulty, "Wushuang Hou, are you going to take revenge? I'm afraid it doesn't make sense, kill me, you can be regarded as avenging the little emperor.
The great work of the Lord is about to be completed, and it is too late." Luo Kong gritted his teeth fiercely, "Li Ru, Li Ru!
The Luo clan will never allow people like Dong Zhuo to get the world, and the emperor will lower the punishment, do you think Dong Zhuo can really complete your so-called great cause?
Rock's desire to destroy him is like destroying a worm!"
Li Ru's eyes that were originally begging for death suddenly lit up, and he wanted to struggle, "This can't be ......."
Luo Kong directly pierced Li Ru's chest, and a large mouthful of blood poured out of Li Ru's throat, swallowing his last words, Li Ru wanted to ask why, but he couldn't ask, his eyes were full of unwillingness to die.
Luo Kong threw Li Ru's body aside directly, and quickly ran to Liu Biao and Empress Dowager He, only to see Liu Bian has been crying uncontrollably, Luo Kong's heart suddenly sank to the bottom, Liu Bian said bitterly: "Junhou, teacher, I'm going to die."
Luo Kong hugged Liu Bian, and couldn't help but let out a mournful roar, Liu Bian turned his head to look at Tang Ji who couldn't stop crying, and then looked at Luo Kong, who couldn't stop crying, "Teacher, don't die.
I beg you to send someone to take the queen away, bring her into Zhaocheng, and find another person for her to marry, she still doesn't understand anything."
luo kong nodded tearfully he will send empress tang away liu bi trembled and wanted to say something but the corners of his mouth trembled but he couldn t say anything for a child like him this
The poison is so strong that it is the limit to be able to hold on for such a period of time.
Luo Kong could feel that Liu Bian's body was gradually getting colder, he came to the Empress Dowager He with Liu Bian's corpse, and the Empress Dowager He, who was also heavily poisoned, trembled and stroked Liu Bian's face, the tears on her face didn't know if it was the effect of the poison or her heart, maybe both.
In just a few days, she lost her two biological sons, she was a bad woman, but the sons were all she had, and now all of them are gone.
Empress Dowager He looked at Luo Kong's cheeks, the poison made her hallucinate, and at a certain moment, she suddenly said, "Junhou, you are like that Zhang Jiao!"
It's like a towering mountain!
This half sentence was not said by the Empress Dowager He, she died.
This woman once enjoyed all the glory and wealth, she once came to the pinnacle of her life, and wantonly suppressed the concubines in the palace of Emperor Ling, and even almost couldn't even give birth to Liu Xie.
She once encountered the lowest point in her life, the Spirit Emperor died, she became a prisoner, and she had to make compromises just to let her son live.
But in the end it was all over, what she wanted to protect was not protected, and all she wanted to leave behind was lost, as if in response to everything she had done.
Her face was still beautiful, and no one would question it, but it lost its former brilliance and quickly turned to ashes.
Looking at the corpses of Empress Dowager He and Liu Wei in front of him, Luo Kong only felt a little dizzy in front of him, and he also felt a little cold on his body, he understood that this was caused by too many injuries on his body and too much blood.
His life is also passing with the blood flowing out.
Luo Kong controlled himself and stood up, why did the Queen Mother and the Emperor tidy up their appearance, and then said to Tang Ji: "Empress, now we are the only ones left, and the minister will send you out."
Then come back for revenge!
Luo Kong tightly took Tang Ji by his side, holding the Seven Star Treasure Sword in his hand, and when he came out of the apse, he saw a cluster of Xiliang Army!
Murderous intent is pervasive!
Dong Zhuo's jackal, the emperor Su was close to the sky and led Dong Zhuo to evil, and he wanted to kill him to make Li Ru in the service to the emperor, the emperor Fuken, and Li Ruqiang, so the emperor and the Empress Dowager He drank together.
Wushuang and Xun You, Yuan Shao, Wang Yun conspired to punish Dong Zhuo, did not hit, galloped back, only to the Tang Dynasty, the emperor and the queen mother were gone, the emperor was unequaled pathos, and wanted to lead him with mundane affairs, but said: "Respect the teacher, after the late emperor of Tang Ji, the heavenly nobles, have their own royal dignity, if you are the wife of the people, you can't, please choose a noble son in Zhaocheng, and leave for a long time."
Wushuang cried more than once, with the will to die, but he remembered the emperor's entrustment, so he collected the emperor and the queen mother, and brought the Tang Dynasty out of it. —— "The Book of the Later Han Dynasty: The Book of Filial Piety"
