Empress Dowager He was sitting in the carriage, not knowing what he was thinking, her cheeks were flushed, but her eyes were filled with anger and resentment.

He looked up and asked the palace maid who was kneeling in front of him: "I heard that the emperor has taken in a few more women recently into the harem?"

The palace maid nodded and said, "Your Majesty the Emperor recently accepted three empresses. One was named Zhen Mi, who was said to have been a subordinate of Empress Diao Chan..."

Queen Mother He snorted angrily and said unhappily: "Diao Chan's charming vixen gave the emperor that Zhen Mi, which was nothing more than a means of seizing favor."

The palace maid dared not swear to the imperial concubine like Empress Dowager He. She just pretended not to hear Empress Dowager He said, "The second name is Xiahou Qingwu. I heard that he was originally a woman Cao Cao liked, and his charming and charming are not inferior to Diao Chan and Zhen Mi."

Queen Mother He frowned and said nothing.

The palace maid glanced at Empress Dowager He and said, "The last one was named Lu Lingqi, who was the daughter of General Lu Bu. Although her appearance was not as good as the above three empresses, her temperament as a woman is a bit similar to that of Empress Zhao!"

Empress Dowager He looked distressed and muttered something in a low voice. The palace maid didn't hear it clearly and did not dare to ask.

At this time, the team came out of the noisy street and entered Sanqing Lane.

This Sanqing Lane is a small alley leading to the residence of Queen Mother He. Although this alley is very long, it only has the residence of Queen Mother He. Therefore, no one will come here except for the people in Queen Mother He’s residence who come and go to Sanqing Lane.

Because of this, this Sanqing Lane can be said to be the quietest place in the entire Luoyang city, with a certain meaning of being extraordinary.

The team was moving along the road hidden in the shade of trees. The sound of wheels crushing the bluestone road was very clear. Compared with the noisy streets behind us, it seemed like two completely different worlds.

At this moment, a sharp whistle of wind suddenly came from the woods on both sides.

Before everyone could react, they were knocked down by the sharp arrows flying out of the woods.

The captain of the black team was shocked, pulled out his long sword and shouted sternly: "There are assassins! Protect the carriage!" Only then did the palace maids and eunuchs react, and everyone ran away in panic, like a frightened flock of sheep!

The guards of the black-clothed team quickly retreated to the carriage to protect the carriage. At the same time, many big men dressed in civilian costumes rushed out of the woods on both sides and attacked the black-clothed team protecting the carriage.

Although the Black Team had only a dozen people, they were not afraid and fought fiercely with the attackers with their backs to their carriage!

The collision of weapons was heard, and screams also sounded loudly! The attacker was extremely powerful, and he tried to wipe out the black-clad team guarding Empress Dowager He in one fell swoop.

However, the Black Team's combat power is stronger. While their long swords resist the opponent's attack, they keep chopping the opponent to the ground.

An attacker clearly slashed the body of a black-clothed guard, but before he could be happy about his victory, he slashed the black-clothed guard's head with a backhand.

The battle continued, and the attacker attacked fiercely like a pack of wolves, but he was unable to break through the defense line of the Black Team.

At the same time, the alarm issued by the black-clothed team had already aroused the ideas of the surrounding troops, and a city defense force and the guards in the Empress Dowager's mansion were rushing towards the site of the incident.

The leading attacker saw that although his subordinates were more than ten times more than the other party, they were unable to defeat them for a long time. He was anxious and immediately asked the people around him who were not involved in the battle to draw the string and get the arrow ready to shoot.

Everyone raised their crossbows and pointed them at the fierce battle, but their own people surrounded the soldiers in the black team, making them unable to shoot at all.

At this time, the leading attacker shouted to everyone in front of him who were besieging the other party: "Everyone in front is retreating!"

The attackers who were besieging the Black Team heard the leader's words and immediately stopped attacking and retreated quickly.

At this moment, the officers and soldiers of the black-clothed team were completely exposed to the opponent's powerful crossbow. With the command of the leader, dozens of powerful crossbows were fired together!

The powerful arrows roared and the dozen black-clothed guards who were protecting the carriage could not dodge at all, and they were all shot and fell to the ground!

The leading attacker showed a grim look and shouted loudly: "Take Queen Mother He immediately! Hurry!"

The assassins rushed forward. However, he did not expect that a black-clothed guard, Hei, did not die. He suddenly jumped up and pushed his sword into the arms of an assassin. The assassin could not react and was pierced through the chest by the opponent's long sword in one fell swoop, screaming fiercely.

The assassins were shocked and couldn't help but stop. Several assassins rushed towards the guard.

The guards cut over the two assassins with their remaining strength, but finally pierced the body by several long swords at the same time and died on the spot.

The assassins were stunned for a while, and the leading assassin couldn't help but curse: "Damn it! These guys are so difficult to deal with!"

At this time, an assassin rushed over and shouted anxiously: "No, Queen Mother He's guard is here!" As if responding to his words, the sound of mixed and rapid footsteps had already sounded not far away.

Liu Xian was discussing matters with his subordinates in the imperial study when he suddenly heard drums outside representing an emergency.

Liu Xian and others were surprised, and Zheng Bang said in disbelief: "This is the Qilin drum! Is there an enemy approaching Luoyang? How is this possible?"

Liu Xian stood up and prepared to go out to see the situation.

At this moment, Dian Wei rushed in anxiously, clasped his fists at Liu Xian and said, "Brother, something happened! Someone has kidnapped the Empress Dowager!"

Liu Xian was shocked.

By the way, the assassins caught Empress Dowager He and immediately took Mr. He hostage to the East City Gate and wanted to leave the city.

However, after hearing the sound of the Qilin drum, the defenders of the city gate closed the city gate. Seeing the assassins coming, they immediately arranged into battle formations to prepare for the battle.

The assassins held Mrs. He later arrived at the city gate. Seeing that the city gate was closed and could not leave the city, they had to stop.

At this time, Empress Dowager He's guards and the city defense force had already arrived and surrounded the assassins at the city gate.

The people fled near the Dongcheng Gate, but gathered in the distance to look at the Dongcheng Gate. Few were worried about this sudden big event, but more of them were the excitement of finally seeing the big event.

"What's going on? Who are the people surrounded? He's so bold! He dares to come to our Luoyang to cause trouble!" A middle-aged man said curiously.

An old man next to him immediately said in a tone of offering treasures: "I heard that an assassin came outside and captured the Empress Dowager! Now, all the troops in the city have been alarmed!"
