Chapter 222 Bad news in Ma City
Nangong.Yongle Palace.
If the temperature in Luoyang City is close to the freezing point, then the temperature in Yongle Palace is already suffocating.
"It's over, it's over!"
Emperor Ling of Han, who was exhausted and was as strong as he was draining his strength, leaned against the couch, and seemed to be unable to get up again.
"Blessed by our ancestors, the Han Dynasty will be forever!"
The Empress Dowager Dong hugged Liu Xie, who was just seven years old this year, with a pair of turbid eyes. He looked at the spiritual emperor with no eyes and looked outside the gloomy and dark gate of Changle Palace. The terror on his face was so intense that it was so intense.
Not open.
...
"Brother, you must guard Luoyang City well. My son also wants to be the emperor. I want to be the queen mother!"
He heard the sound of a horn and hurried to the queen He, who was fifteen-year-old Liu Bian, hurried to the Yongle Palace. Her eyebrows were slightly frowned and her appearance was pale.
...
"Is this horn scary?"
The seven-year-old Liu Xie, who was a little nervous by the adults' emotions, looked around silently, and was confused for a moment.
...
"Oh, it's not so good!"
Fifteen-year-old Liu Bian stood beside He, and had no interest in the city defense horn that he had heard for the first time in his life. A pair of frivolous eyes secretly looked at the silent palace maid in Yongle Palace.
"I thought the maids in the 'Dong Yaopo' palace were all rare beauties. Even though they looked like this, they were no more beautiful than the vulgar pinks on my bed!"
The disappointed Liu Bian curled his lips secretly and withdrew his listless eyes in disgust.
"Hmm?"
Liu Bian, who was full of bored, turned his eyes to the cold sweat on his forehead and was weak, and was suddenly stunned.
"Depending on the appearance of my father, is he going to die?"
When he thought that Emperor Ling didn't have much time, Liu Bian's eyes suddenly became dazzling.
"Will the West Garden be my Liu Bian soon?"
Liu Bian was thinking about the naked mermaid in the pool of naked swimming in the West Garden and was drooling secretly, suddenly there was a messy and noisy footsteps outside Yongle Palace.
"Come!"
The nervous-looking Emperor Ling seemed to have returned as if the power that disappeared on his body had suddenly sat upright and looked nervously at the gate of the palace.
"Your Majesty!"
The Central Constable Zhao Zhong stumbling in. Without waiting for Emperor Ling to ask, he knelt on the ground with a "thump" and reported to Emperor Ling loudly.
"Hou Tao from Jinan responded!"
"What?"
Emperor Ling was shocked at first and then laughed silently.
"This is impossible!"
"Mr. Zhao must have made a mistake!"
"Don't say that Tao Qing will not betray me. Even if he has the will of rebellion, with the strong strength of the Hulao world, it is easy to defend but difficult to attack, and it has elite troops to defend. Even if millions of powerful soldiers are swarming in, how can they break through in the short term?"
The Spirit Emperor, who was a little lost, never believed Zhao Zhong's words and turned his gaze to Xia Yun, the Central Constable who came in with Zhao Zhong.
"Your Majesty, the city gate captain Zhao Yan has been killed by the Marquis of Jinan!"
"Now, outside the Middle East Gate, at least 500 Northern Army soldiers have been killed in battle!"
Looking at Emperor Ling's gaze, eunuch Xia Yun immediately told the truth.
"Take it seriously?"
Xia Yun's answer confirmed Zhao Zhong's remarks, which made Emperor Ling, who was originally confident in Tao Ying, feel like falling into an ice cave.
"This... so, Tao Yingguo... really broke through the Hulao Pass?"
The Ling Emperor, whose face was pale and his body was like a sieve, had cold sweat on his forehead and his voice trembled.
"Your Majesty, the rebels have arrived outside the Middle East Gate!"
Zhao Zhong, who was determined to die in Tao Ying, didn't want to dig into details at the moment and immediately divert the Ling Emperor's attention.
"Ah!"
Sure enough, the pale and exhausted Spirit Emperor shuddered again and immediately paid attention to the safety of Luoyang City.
"Can the general dispatch the Northern Army to defend the city?"
Seeing that Emperor Ling no longer investigated why Hulao Pass was lost without warning, Zhao Zhong, who secretly breathed a sigh of relief, hurriedly spoke up to comfort Emperor Ling.
"Your Majesty is at ease. Not only is the fifth battalion of the Northern Army coming out together, but the general is also leading the way and has already stepped onto the Middle East Gate to defend himself!"
"Before I came to ask for the imperial edict, the generals Zhu Ye, Huangfu Song, Zhang Wen and other people in the capital had also climbed to the city."
The Ling Emperor, who was a little relieved, struggled to get up from the ground, and his eyes were still a little panicked, and his eyes were still kneeling on the ground, Zhao Zhong and Xia Yun looked outside Yongle Palace, and shook his head repeatedly.
"The rebels can break through Hulao Pass and make sure that the troops are strong and strong. Only the Northern Army is not enough to defend the city. Jian Shuo led the Eight Army of Xiyuan to jointly garrison."
"In addition, quickly mobilize the troops from Sili, Jingzhou, Yuzhou and Yanzhou to Beijing to serve the king!"
In the heart of Emperor Ling, Tao Ying was able to wipe out hundreds of thousands of Yellow Turbans, drive away the powerful Wuhuan cavalry, and easily break through the Hulao Pass. His combat power was definitely good. With more than 20,000 soldiers and horses in Luoyang City, it would be impossible to stop him.
Soldier.
"Your Majesty, don't panic. There are not many rebels under Luoyang City. If the army in the city comes out together, you can destroy the backhand!"
Zhao Zhong, who was sweating heavily on his forehead, was busy stopping the Ling Emperor from the idea of mobilizing troops to save the king, while secretly complaining that the cowardly and afraid of death was a little nervous.
"Your Majesty, I just want to use your golden words to force Tao Ying'er to resist, instead of letting me Zhao Zhong be doomed!"
...
"Hmm?"
Looking at Zhao Zhong with a determined look on his face, let alone Emperor Ling was stunned. Even the He family behind him, Dong family was also confused.
"Since it's so easy to destroy thieves, why didn't my elder brother send troops to wipe out the treacherous thieves quickly?"
He, who was puzzled, looked at Zhao Zhong who was kneeling on the ground and couldn't help but ask.
"Your Majesty, the general was going to send troops to wipe out the rebels, but the rebels under the city shouted to see Your Majesty, so I came to ask for the holy wishes first."
He's question was also the confusion of Emperor Ling. Zhao Zhong, who was right in his mind, immediately explained his purpose.
"Your Majesty, why don't you move to the enemy tower and meet the rebel Tao Ying?"
Zhao Zhong looked at Emperor Ling with a bright look, as if he was encouraging Emperor Ling to climb the city.
"Hmph, I don't think you are so brave!"
Sure enough, when he heard that he wanted to climb the city himself, the Ling Emperor, whose legs suddenly became weak, couldn't help but shivered and refused flatly.
"Rebellion against Tao Ying, a great rebellion, deeply disappointed my hope, and lost my heart. How could he see me?"
When he heard that Tao Ying had not dispatched many troops, Luoyang City was safe and safe. The Emperor Ling, who had completely let go, had anger in his heart again, and the disappearing aura of domineering came back to his body again.

"Duke Zhao, immediately pass on my will to order the general to control all the troops in the city, immediately eliminate the rebels outside the city, and restore peace to the capital!"
The affectionate Emperor Ling abandoned Tao Ying without thinking, which was exactly what Zhao Zhong wanted to see the most.
"No! I personally convey your Majesty's will!"
After getting what he wanted, Zhao Zhong was secretly happy that Emperor Ling had come back and changed his mind. Without saying a word, he quickly got up from the ground, ran out of Yongle Palace without interruption, and headed straight for the Middle East Gate.
"Can't wait!"
Looking at Zhao Zhong who was leaving, Xia Yun said thoughtfully to himself, then glanced at Ling Emperor quietly, and silently withdrew from Yongle Palace.
————
Outside the Middle East Gate.
“Calmness before the storm!”
Tao Ying, who always pays attention to the changes in the power of the city guards, had his dark eyes becoming more and more solemn.
Tao should have a premonition that the Middle East Gate in front of him will soon open.
"That's not to let me enter the city to see you, but to send you swords, guns, swords and halberds!"
Looking at the sudden addition of hundreds of Northern Army and dozens of military generals with full uniforms on the top of the city, Tao Ying did not dare to take a chance. He was trapped in Luoyang and did not dare to gamble.
"I believe Chen Yuanlong can successfully win the Hulao Pass!"
To escape from Luoyang and return to Qingzhou, Hulao Pass is the passage that Tao Ying must go, and it must be taken before the Eight Pass Duwei received the news of Luoyang's shocking change. Otherwise, Tao Ying would be shut down by Emperor Ling to beat him to the door and be beaten by the dog.
