Chapter 541: Someone broke into the palace at night

Sima Shi and Sima Zhao were eventually taken to the edge of a wide and rushing river. The river was rushing endlessly, majestic, like a fierce beast, roaring and running into the distance.

Sima Zhao looked at the turbulent river, his face was pale, and his voice trembled and said, "Brother, is this the end of our fate?" ”

Sima Shi's eyes were firm and calm, and he held Sima Zhao's hand tightly.

The river was tumbling, and the splashes shimmered in the sunlight.

Sima Shi made a point of asking the soldiers to say goodbye to their father, Sima Yi.

Look in the direction of their father's grave.

Of course, there was nothing wrong with this, and the soldiers promised them.

So, the two brothers bowed in the direction of Sima Yi's cemetery, and then Sima Yi shouted loudly: "Father, I'm going." ”

He jumped into the river.

Sima Zhao also followed, but the scene was in a tragic state.

But the soldiers did not leave in a hurry, they had to make sure that the two men were completely dead, so they had to stay here, in case someone rescued them after they were gone, so after a certain hour had passed, it meant that the people were dead and breathable.

Only then did they go back and quickly report the news to Xi Yu.

After Xi Yu heard the news, his mood was very complicated.

"Okay, you've worked hard, take a break, tomorrow we're going to fight."

After a while, Xi Yu walked out.

He is the manager, so naturally no one is qualified to question him where he is going.

What no one expected was that Xi Yu would come to the river.

He seems to be worshipping the Sima brothers, although he hates them to the core.

It's because of his previous life that he hates the two brothers to the core.

Actually, what Sima Zhao said was not wrong, after all, it was his own master, maybe he just couldn't get used to it, and now that the two of them are dead, he feels a little sorry for them.

But he knew he couldn't be too soft-hearted, they really deserved to die.

But their righteousness before they died made them feel gratified.

Of course, it was right to kill them.

Especially this Sima Zhao, it is a scourge to keep it.

He's like a bomb, and who knows what will happen in the future?

Standing in front of the river, Xi Yu was in a surging mood, and involuntarily remembered Cao Cao's poem "Watching the Sea", and silently recited it.

"The east is adjacent to the Jieshi to view the sea.

The water is surging, and the mountains and islands are sturging.

The trees are overgrown and the grass is abundant.

The autumn wind is bleak and the waves are surging.

The journey of the sun and the moon, if out of it;

The stars are splendid, if out of it.

Fortunately, even ya, the song is a song. ”

His voice echoed by the empty river, as if it merged with the raging water.

Xi Yu's eyes stared into the distance, as if he could travel through time and space, and see Cao Cao's lofty ambition when he stood on Jieshi Mountain and overlooked the sea.

I remember that in my previous life, when I was in middle school, this poem had to be memorized, so Xi Yu was also considered to have learned more solidly.

Xi Yu felt the power and flow of the river, as if he had become a part of this magnificent scene.

Xi Yu couldn't help but sigh at the transience and impermanence of life, and compared with this vast nature, he was so small.

Up to now, Xi Yu still feels that crossing is like an incredible thing, and he really didn't expect that he would cross one day.

Just like the poem I memorized just now, he actually had close contact with Cao Cao, how incredible it is to think about it now.

But in any case, his plan to attack Cao Pi will never change.

He silently said to Cao Cao in his heart: "I'm sorry, I have to change all this, because I want to build a better world." ”

He just turned his hands behind his back and looked at the river, and the water flowed continuously.

Below are the corpses of the two Sima brothers.

Gradually, the night was deep, and Xi Yu slowly left the river.

His face was unusually heavy, as if he was carrying a thousand pounds of burden, making it difficult to figure out his inner thoughts.

Meanwhile, in some secluded corner of Chang'an, a secret conspiracy is brewing.

A mysterious man, white-faced and bearded, is quietly assembling an army.

His face was fair, and his beard was neatly trimmed.

There was a firmness and decisiveness in his eyes, as if he had already made up his mind about his plan.

He was tall and muscular, wearing a black robe, which added a bit of majesty and mystery.

The white-faced bearded man stood in the shadows, clutching a sharp sword in his hand.

His voice was low and powerful, and he said to his cronies: "The time is ripe, we must act. Chang'an City will be under our control! Do you have faith? ”

A few people quickly said, "We have faith." ”

The faint moonlight shone on them, illuminating their expressions.

"In that case, let's go, because the time has come for us to make a contribution."

After that, the white-faced man led everyone forward.

Liu Xie slept on a couch in the palace, immersed in a chaotic dream.

Suddenly, a loud shout broke through the silence and woke him from his sleep.

"There was a fire! There was a fire! The eunuch outside exclaimed.

Liu Xie sat up in astonishment and looked out the window in horror.

I saw billowing smoke coming out of a corner of the palace, and the flames were soaring into the sky. Immediately after, a chaotic noise came, and a troop took advantage of the fire to loot and quickly broke into the palace.

The palace suddenly fell into chaos, and the two armies fought fiercely. The sound of swords clashing and the shouts of the soldiers mingled to form a thrilling battle symphony.

Liu Xie's heart was filled with fear and confusion. His eyes widened, his lips trembled, and he thought to himself, "What's going on?" Why would someone break into the palace? ”

His mind was like a mess, unable to sort out the situation in front of him.

The two armies fought fiercely, and Liu Xie's heartbeat accelerated sharply, as if he was about to jump out of his throat.

Feeling his life threatened like never before, he wondered, "How can I escape this crisis?" Who can protect me? Fear gripped him and made him almost unable to think.

The appearance of a small eunuch gave him a glimmer of hope.

Liu Xie was so frightened that he didn't know what to do, and his body trembled. Seeing this, the little eunuch beside him hurriedly took his hand and said, "Your Majesty, go quickly!" We must get out of here as soon as possible! ”

They hurried through the corridors of the palace, their footsteps echoing rapidly across the stone slabs. Liu Xie's heart was beating like a drum, and his eyes were looking around, full of fear and confusion.

"Your Majesty, don't be afraid, the minions will protect your safety." The little eunuch comforted.

Liu Xie followed the little eunuch closely, and they were looking for a way to escape in the chaos. The smoke was thick and their vision was blurred, but they did not dare to stop and ran desperately forward.

In the process of fleeing, Liu Xie's heart was full of helplessness and confusion. He didn't know what his fate would be, and he didn't know what kind of impact this sudden change would have on himself and the Han family. His heart was filled with worries and uneasiness about the future.

At the critical moment when Liu Xie and the little eunuch were desperately fleeing, a group of enemy troops suddenly appeared in front of them, blocking their way.

Liu Xie's heartbeat accelerated instantly, and he asked in a trembling voice, "Who are you?" Why are you here to make trouble? ”

One of the soldiers stepped forward and replied in a loud voice, "Dog Emperor, we are Liu Song's people!" ”

Liu Xie's brows furrowed, he was unfamiliar with the name Liu Song.

The little eunuch whispered in his ear: "Your Majesty, this ancestor of Liu Song once committed a crime and was exiled outside. ”

A trace of doubt surged in Liu Xie's heart, and he asked, "Why did Liu Song make such a mess?" ”

The soldier's gaze flashed with resentment, and he said, "Our people have been exiled for many years and have suffered a lot. Now, we're going to take back everything that belongs to us! Besides, you, a mediocre emperor, don't deserve to be in this position at all."

Several soldiers said how incompetent Liu Xie was, and now the morale of Xi Yu is getting stronger and stronger, all of which is the result of Liu Xie's connivance.

At this point, the surrounding environment becomes tense and oppressive. Under the light of the fire, Liu Xie could clearly see the weapons in the hands of the soldiers flickering with cold light.

Their eyes were full of determination and hostility, as if they were determined not to give up until they achieved their goal.

Liu Xie felt a chill hit him, and he understood that he was in an extremely dangerous situation.

He took a deep breath, tried to keep himself calm, and said, "Liu Song's actions like this will definitely cause chaos in the world and the people suffer. Had he ever thought about that? ”

The soldiers glanced at each other, as if they were touched by Liu Xie's words.

However, their resolve did not waver, and one of the leading soldiers said: "You are less alarmist here. ”

At this moment, a Han army rushed over, and someone shouted, "Protect Your Majesty." ”

Someone immediately began to shoot arrows, which were fired at the enemy troops.

finally gave Liu Xie a momentary respite.

Escorted by soldiers and eunuchs, Liu Xie hurried out of the palace with all his might. The little eunuch took his hand and ran wildly.

Their breath was short, their clothes soaked with sweat, and it was not until they came to a remote village that they stopped and gasped for breath, as if they had just experienced a life-and-death escape.

Liu Xie leaned against a tree, his face pale, and scolded angrily: "The rebellious Liu Song dares to act recklessly under the correct banner, it is simply unreasonable!" His voice was filled with anger and disappointment.

The little eunuch echoed on the side: "Your Majesty is angry, take care of the dragon's body. That Liu Song is tyrannical and unreasonable, and he will be punished by God. ”

At this time, the village is quiet, except for the gentle breeze that rustles the leaves. Liu Xie looked around, looking at this quiet village, and a wave of emotion surged in his heart.

He sighed and said, "The people in the world, why should they suffer this catastrophe? ”

The little eunuch took a breath and said worriedly: "Your Majesty, the enemy army is extremely vicious this time, and it must have been a dead fish. They may send men in pursuit, and this is not a place to stay for long. After a short rest, it is better for His Majesty to leave as soon as possible. ”

Liu Xie's brows tightened, thinking in his heart.

Suddenly, a hint of determination flashed in his eyes, and he said, "I want to take refuge in Xiyu." At this moment, there is only another place where it is safest. ”

When the little eunuch heard this, his face was embarrassed and he raised objections.

"Your Majesty, it is difficult for the enemy army to make a big deal out of this chaos. Returning to the palace tomorrow is the best policy. ”

Liu Xie had already made up his mind, and said firmly: "No, the situation in the palace is unknown and dangerous now. Only by going to Youzhou can I be safe. Hurry up and prepare two fast horses for me, and I will leave immediately. ”

The little eunuch saw that Liu Xie insisted on this, so he had no choice but to agree: "I will obey Your Majesty's will." ”

After the little eunuch received the order, he looked at Liu Xie worriedly and said, "Your Majesty, let's rest here for a while, and the slave will find a way to get two horses." Liu Xie instructed: "Remember, you must find a way to buy it, and you must not take it by chance." ”

In the middle of the night, the moonlight was like silver, sprinkled on the tired body of the little eunuch.

With great difficulty, he finally found two horses in a village.

It turned out that a family living in extreme poverty was facing financial difficulties and was anxious to sell their horses.

The appearance of the little eunuch is like a ray of dawn that illuminates their lives and brings hope.

The head of the household said gratefully to the little eunuch, "Thank you for your help." ”

The little eunuch handed the little disc that was left on his body to the head of the household.

The little eunuch led the two horses anxiously and hurried back to the place agreed with Liu Xie.

However, when he arrived, he was shocked to see that Liu Xie was missing, and his heart suddenly panicked, and his soul seemed to have left him.

His face turned pale with fright, trembling all over, and he immediately looked around for Liu Xie's traces.

Finally, in a secluded corner, he found Liu Xie. It turned out that Liu Xie went to have diarrhea due to physical discomfort.

Seeing this, the little eunuch hurriedly knelt down, tears streaming continuously.

"Your Majesty, the minions couldn't find you, they were terrified, and finally found you"

Seeing this, Liu Xie's heart softened, and he hurriedly helped the little eunuch up and comforted him.

"Don't cry, I'm fine, right? It's just a little upset, but it's much better now. ”

The little eunuch's sobbing voice was particularly bleak in this quiet atmosphere.

"Alright, stop crying, let's hurry now, but then you will suffer with you."

But the little eunuch said that he felt honored to suffer for His Majesty.

After that, they moved forward quickly with one man and one horse.

In the palace, swords and swords are intertwined, and shouts of killing come and go. Liu Song's rebels fought a fierce battle with the Han army, and both sides paid a lot of casualties.

Liu Song looked at the tragic situation on the battlefield, and a sense of frustration surged in his heart. Realizing that victory could not be achieved, he decisively led the remnants to leave in a hurry.

"Brothers, stay in the green mountains and don't be afraid of no firewood, let's leave quickly."

They came to the cave, which was their base camp. Liu Song's face was gloomy, sitting on a stone, his eyes revealing incomparable frustration.

"Many brothers are dead, and we still haven't been able to kill Liu Xie." Liu Song muttered to himself, his voice full of chagrin.

His men sat silently around, the atmosphere dreary and depressing.

At this time, there was a tense atmosphere in the cave, as if even the air had frozen.

After a while, he finally had someone say: "Boss, that's what you said about staying in the green mountains, don't be afraid of no firewood, we will definitely win."

Liu Song also knew that he should not be too negative in this situation, otherwise he would make his brothers even more negative.

"You're right, we can't just be depressed."

It was destined to be a sleepless night for them.

And for the palace, it was also very traumatic.

Many people found out that Liu Xie was no longer there, and some people were scared, was His Majesty killed?

Later, it was confirmed that he left with a small eunuch, which means that His Majesty's life safety was guaranteed.

But some people are thinking, Your Majesty should talk to others, how can you leave quietly?

But some people think that in that kind of crisis situation, how can you tell someone?

Time has been tossed to the second half of the night, and the bloodshed and the little eunuch are already sleepy in the process of hurrying, especially Liu Xie, when did he suffer like this?

They decided to find an inn, but Liu Xie told the little eunuch that he must keep it secret and never reveal his identity.

"Your Majesty, even if you weren't so rich, the minions would do the same."

After that, they finally found a small inn in the middle of nowhere.

"Your Majesty, you have a good rest, there are minions guarding you today."

What he meant was that he didn't sleep tonight and guarded Liu Xie.

Liu Xie said: "This is absolutely impossible. If you don't have a good rest, then how will you go on the road tomorrow during the day, won't you still have to let me protect you? ”

The little eunuch thought about it, and it was indeed the case.

So I decided that I could get a good night's sleep.

"Besides, we don't need to worry so much, in fact, where are there so many disasters?"

And Liu Xie's heart wanted to cry.

In this case, the little eunuch still guards himself and does not abandon himself, how loyal he is.

It really corresponds to that sentence, and it will be popular for a long time.

In the future, I must treat this little eunuch well.

The little eunuch saw Liu Xie in a daze, so he asked, "Your Majesty, don't be sad about these trivial matters anymore." ”

"I'm not worried about those things, I'm thinking of your loyalty, and I must treat you well."

When the little eunuch heard this, he immediately knelt down.

"Your Majesty, don't say that, it is a great honor for a slave to be able to protect Your Majesty and follow Your Majesty."

"Okay, don't kneel down at every turn, remember to call me a young master or a son outside, don't miss it."

The little eunuch immediately got up, and after a few seconds, there was a voice outside, it was the shopkeeper who had come to bring them tea.

But the master and servant were startled, for fear that some bad guy was coming.

They were relieved to learn that they had come to deliver tea.

And the shopkeeper saw them looking panicked, and suddenly felt very strange.

I think these two people must have never seen the world's hillbillies, but they don't look like each other. (End of chapter)
