At dusk, the twilight drum was beaten three hundred times.

Kyoto, Eiwa-ri, on the avenue beyond the wall, is brightly lit.

Three hundred warriors in armor and embroidered cloaks surrounded the place, and they were all the tooth soldiers of Zhu Jun, the general of Pingxi, and they were all brave and good at fighting.

A few days ago, Zhu Jun, the former general of Pingxi, had just been promoted by the Empress Dowager He of the Bing Dynasty, and became a general from a general.

This is the special name that the dynasty began to have for those Yuntai meritorious deeds, and on weekdays, no matter how great the merits of the martial artists are, they will not have this honor, but this will not hesitate to give it to Zhu Jun.

There are also a few of these tooth soldiers who have met the Queen Mother with the general, and they still remember that the Queen Mother held the hand of our General Zhu with tears in her eyes, counting on our General to fight for the Han family.

Don't say it, our Empress Dowager He is also charming, and the appearance of pear blossoms with rain makes these fiery tooth soldiers feel sudden.

I don't know how our general survived.

From the arrangement of these tooth soldiers in the Empress Dowager He, it can be seen that these people are unruly and the prestige of the Han family is declining. But if it was just a few words of hi before, what they want to do tonight is a real deal of death, and if it is not good, the clan will be implicated.

Therefore, these tooth soldiers kill people like hemp, which will also be uneasy in their hearts, but they just eat the general Houlu, and we can't ignore the general's words, so we can only do it hard.

The soldiers all looked at Zhou Ang on the horse, intentionally or unintentionally, to see what he was going to do.

At this time, Zhou Ang was also embarrassed, if he knew that the lord would suddenly be so angry, he really wouldn't say this, now it's okay, he reported it, and he did it in the end.

But if he didn't do it, who would do it?

He and Zhu Jun are fellow villagers, and they are his own masters, so it can be said that he is the descendant of the lineage, and if he doesn't come to do this, Zhu Jun is not at ease.

After hesitating for a while, Zhou Ang pinched the horsewhip, and his heart was ruthless:

", it's a big deal to run away to Qingzhou later, the younger brother is doing well in Lao Cao's shogunate, and we are indispensable in the past."

After thinking clearly, Zhou Ang shook the whip and ordered a tooth soldier:

"Lao Yu, you go up and knock on the door."

This tooth soldier named Lao Yu is twenty-six or seventeen, with a strong figure and a beautiful beard, and at this moment, when he heard that the little fellow behind him really nodded to himself, he couldn't help but roll his eyes.

His name is Yu Tuo, and like Zhou Ang, he is also a Huiji person, in fact, six of the ten of their tooth soldiers are from Huiji, otherwise they are also from Danyang, and they are all Zhu Jun's disciples.

Yu turned and scolded Zhou Ang in his heart for being a son of a family who would be retribution, but the pattern was too small. Didn't he just drink with his brothers, and then divinate Zhou Ang, saying that he would leave one son to inherit the family?

Then Zhou Ang said that he was cursing his three brothers to die.

Alas, this is what he said himself, what does it have to do with my old Yu?

Now that Xiao Zhou's revenge is coming, it seems that this dirty work will still be touched in the end.

Zhou Angli immediately urged again:

"Lao Yu, what are you still rubbing, hurry up."

Helpless, Yu Fu could only respond and walked towards the mansion with many high-rise buildings in front.

Walking from him to the front of the mansion, that is, about ten steps, but Yu was sweating profusely and his calves cramped.

It's not been a short time since I came to Kyoto, and Yu Tuo is not the countryman in the past, knowing that these ministers in Kyoto are also people, and that's it, even no more virtuous than those nobles in his hometown.

But when he thought of doing it, Yu Fu was still stunned, he secretly scolded himself, and then, as if to cheer himself up, he suddenly slapped the high door, as if he wanted to shoot out all the fear in his heart.

The sudden knock on the door startled Zhou Ang behind him, and the whip in his hand fell to the ground.

He dismounted, and seeing that the soldiers around him were not paying attention to him, he stepped on the whip under his feet and kicked it to the side.

Zhou Ang comforted himself:

"It's not that we're short of breath, it's still that Yongheli is too vigorous."

He looked at this Yongheli and thought of the past.

Twenty years ago, he also came to visit Yongheli with his father, and at that time, the owner of it was still Chen Fan, an old lady during the Huan Emperor period.

Contrary to what the countryside thinks, Kyoto is actually a huge palace city, and although it is large, there is not an inch of land left for ordinary people, and all the people who can live in Kyoto are ministers and celebrities.

For example, on the north side of the street within Xiyangmen, where the eunuchs lived in the past, Yongkangli on the west side of Tongtuo Street was the residence of the three princes in the past, and the east side was the residence of the generals. Within the Toyomon Gate, it is the residence of the forbidden servants, and it can be said that Kyoto Takasato is a high-gate house.

Among them, the worst is also given to Taicang, the second office of the guide to the value of the Suli, which is already the bottom of the Kyoto circle.

Ordinary people don't talk about living, even if they get their feet in the dirt here, don't even think about it.

And at this time, where is Yongheli that they are surrounding? It is where King Zhu Liu Zong is.

At this moment, they were ready to go and get the son of Dazongzheng Liu Yu, Liu He.

A dull knock on the door echoed in Yonghe, but no one answered for a long time.

But Yu Pan didn't give up, and still patted Zhu Men, until an impatient voice came from behind:

"Knock on what knock, don't you know what place this is? It's curfew now, the wall door is locked, come back tomorrow! ”

Yu flipped through the door and saw that someone was answering, and said politely:

"We are Jin Wuwei patrolling the streets, there are Taishan thieves in the city, we just bumped into him, and then I saw him turn into your mansion. Please open the door, let's take someone and leave immediately. “

The voice behind the door was silent for a moment, and then his tone loosened:

"Hurry up, there's no one you're looking for here."

After saying that, there was silence again.

Yu glanced at Zhou Ang behind him, saw that his face was still there, sighed in his heart, and continued to knock on the door.

This suffocated Zhou Ang didn't know how to change someone for us, his hands were swollen.

After a long time, the guests of the Liu family behind the door had already woken up, and they gathered in the vestibule, and they realized that the Jin Wuwei outside the door seemed to be ready to give up if they didn't take people.

These doormen are Liu Yu's protégés, they eat and live in Liu Yu's house on weekdays, and they also enjoy the political asylum provided by Liu Yu, so at this time, the main family is in trouble, they all draw their swords one by one, ready to fight with the Jinwu guard outside the door at any time.

This is the atmosphere of this world, such as Liu Yu, a big man who occupies the top ecological niche of the Han Dynasty, there is a large group of old customers under him, on weekdays, he provides opportunities and accommodation for these people, so that they can socialize in Kyoto, which is isolated from ordinary goods, and in return, these people need to sacrifice their loyalty and even their lives to Liu Yu.

Wealthy families such as Liu Yu abound in Kyoto, and in these deep courtyards are paramilitary groups that can be armed with hundreds of men at any time.

So this will, not to mention that there is a group of Jin Wuwei outside, that is, the imperial court has explicitly ordered Liu Yu to be taken, as long as Liu Yu resists, they will all use knives and those people outside.

At this time, hundreds of guests looked at Liu He in the middle like this, listening to his orders.

Liu He was also confused by the second monk, he had just asked the house slaves in the house to search it, and he didn't see any strangers coming in at all.

Although there was no search in the backyard, it was the family in the mansion, and there were healthy women accompanying them at all times, and no outsiders would enter it.

So, Liu He couldn't figure out what was going on outside?

After thinking about it, Liu He took the initiative to walk behind the door and asked outside the door:

"Who are you, and who are your chiefs? Let him turn it over by himself and talk to me. ”

Outside the door, Yu turned his eyes to look at Zhou Ang, but saw that he was still expressionless, and he didn't have the slightest intention of taking the initiative to stand up and talk, so not only was Yu Turning a person shameless, but the other tooth soldiers around him felt that Zhou Ang was a careless.

These tooth soldiers are all cronies who are guarding Zhu Jun's tent, why does the old lord want to take Liu He this time, outsiders don't know, they won't know?

Isn't the cause of everything reported by you, Zhou Ang? You provoked the matter, and you didn't dare to carry it in the end? These people don't look at whether they are people who have to be treated, but it doesn't prevent them from despising Zhou Ang at this moment.

But for this, Zhou Ang still looked calm.

And over there, Liu He behind the door saw that he didn't reply for a long time outside, and the alarm bell was also raised at this time.

Now that the Taishan Army is stationed in the North Mountain, Kyoto is in chaos, and there are always some thieves who impersonate the Southern Army to fish in troubled waters, wanting to be unfavorable to the ministers of Zhuli, at this moment, Liu He has already regarded the people outside as those.

So, Liu He silently pulled out his sword, and the disciples over there also drew their swords and held their swords.

Yu Chuan in front of the door suddenly heard the sound of drawing a knife inside, and hurriedly yelled:

"I'm Canglongmen Sima Zhouang, and I'm going in alone."

As soon as these words came out, Zhou Ang's face in the back turned pale.

Liu He didn't believe the other side at this time, and he was ruthless in his heart, ready to kill those people, so he let the doorman open the door.

And when he opened the door, he saw hundreds of armored soldiers standing outside the mansion, and the dead spirit roared:

"Close the door!"

But unfortunately it was too late, Yu Flip, who was standing by the door, rolled into the door with a fish leap, and then cut off the arm of a doorman with a single sword.

In the rear, those tooth soldiers saw Yu flipping in, and they ignored Zhou Ang at all, and poured into the door like a tide.

Those doormen are all only blades, no armor at all, how can they be the opponents of those ironclad soldiers, after a period of fighting, except for a few people who still protect Liu He, the others scattered in a hurry.

Practice has shown that loyalty is indeed scarce, especially in this world.

At this moment, Liu He had been trembling, and he asked Yu who rushed in first:

"Who are you? Do you know where this is? You dare to disagree with me today, and you think you can survive tonight. Zhu Pingxi's army is stationed in the city, aren't you afraid of death? ”

Obviously, Liu He regarded that Yu as the leader of this group.

Then he didn't wait for Yu to speak, so he said to himself:

"What do you want? Money? Beauty? You can take what you have in the house, and I will never retaliate. ”

At this time, Zhou Ang was still outside the mansion, and he didn't step inside the door at all.

So, among the tooth soldiers, Yu turned to speak, he sighed, looked at poor Liu He, and smiled.

Then there was the unbridled laughter, as did the tooth soldiers, who laughed incessantly.

Yu wiped the blood on the knife edge and said with a smile:

"No need, we are the tooth soldiers of the Shogunate of the General Pingxi, and this time we are here to get you."

Liu He couldn't believe it at all.

At this time, Yu turned back to the door, ignored Zhou Ang, and directly took out an order from the jacket of Zhou Ang's war horse, and then turned it back again.

He unfolded the letter written by Zhu Jun himself, and read it in Luoyang Zhengyin with a strong southern accent:

"Liu He, the Marquis of the East China Sea, when the national disaster was imminent, did not want to serve the country, but sent his family's wealth and freight out of the capital, so that the people of Hecheng were shaken and confused, and they moved away one after another. Violating the curfew, more than ten cars went out of the city every day, and morale was in an uproar. As a clan, you still can't serve the country and the family, how can my father serve the people? Donghai Hou deceives so wantonly, that is, he will take down and investigate. ”

After Liu He heard this, he had a sense of absurdity, just because of this? So Zhu Jun wants to take him?

Now the Manjo Ministers are not like this, they are just transferring some assets, haven't they been doing their best to defend Kyoto?

If it weren't for them communicating with Yuan Shao, Yuan Shao's reinforcements would come?

Now they're just transferring a little bit of their assets, and they're shouting at themselves? Aren't these people in Kyoto? Is there anything more representative of their loyalty to the Han family than this?

So Liu He didn't believe this reason at all, and he even asked Yu Chuan directly:

"Then what does Zhu Jun mean? Let's just say it, don't you think it's ridiculous to say this reason? ”

At this moment, Yu looked at Liu He's appearance, seeing that he really didn't look like he was acting, and then his heart was suddenly blocked.

He is a good person, does guarding Kyoto have anything to do with him? Did he eat a grain of corn from the Han family?

But at this moment, when Kyoto was in danger and when the Han Dynasty was dying, they, the remote southerners, were ridiculed as "fathers" by the Central Plains, but they picked up the spear and fought for the Han until the last moment?

Why?

Isn't it because these young people miss this big man in their hearts, and miss the big man who makes them proud and proud?

But what about now?

The princes and clans who have been favored by the dynasty for many generations are concerned about the selfish interests of the portal at this time and want to jump ship? Isn't that ridiculous?

At this moment, Yu Fu is finally disillusioned with these ministers, maybe they have never been great, but because they are standing on a high place, they look at Gao!

Yu Fu didn't want to say a word, he drew his knife and cut down the few doormen who were still resisting, and then put the knife on Liu He's neck, and said to the left and right:

"Brothers, this man still wonders why we took him, so let's take him and ask the lord what crime he has committed!"

The tooth soldiers applauded, and then with a burst of punches and kicks, they were ready to take Liu He back to the camp.

Until this time, a majestic but old voice came from within:

"Stop! Whose orders are you given? Don't tell me it's Zhu Jun, what I'm asking is, whose order did he Zhu Jun serve! ”

The tooth soldiers turned their heads and saw a tall old man dressed in vermilion, at the bottom of the steps, one of the left and right servants holding a seal, and the other holding a book, lined up behind.

Yu Yu understood that this person must be Liu Yu, the great patriarch of the imperial court, and he knew that this person was loyal to the Han Dynasty, so he was respectful enough.

He clenched his fists and left this sentence:

"Lao Zongzheng, who do you ask us? We are serving the heavens! ”

After speaking, he ignored Liu Yu and twisted Liu He back.

Liu He glanced at his father, and then was escorted away, leaving only the old man alone in the deep courtyard, very late.
