Chapter 57 Procrastinating Liu Bian (Additional update for Christmas)
Wisdom is a weak guy, and sometimes he will be knocked to the ground and beaten wildly by greed and other emotions.
On the wall of Yong'an Palace, the commander of the Xiliang soldiers stared at the huge piece of gold cake with bright eyes. Even a blind man could detect the greediness in it. He caught it in his hand and took a bite in his mouth.
Fineness.
The military marquis did not realize at all that the excuses of an old eunuch and a middle-aged eunuch in front of him for leaving the palace could not withstand scrutiny, and how they opened the palace gate to visit home due to chaos in the city were full of flaws. His mind was completely
Attracted by the gold cake in front of him, he felt that the gold in his hand was so heavy that it moved people's hearts and made them happy. Without thinking much, he agreed to open the palace door a little and let the two eunuchs out.
Anyway, just two eggless eunuchs, how much trouble can they stir up?
But he didn't expect that the moment he opened the palace door, several more yellow doors appeared out of nowhere. Together with the two eunuchs from before, they stabbed to death the two or three guards who opened the palace door by surprise, and then not only occupied the
The doorway is still waving out!
Immediately from the street corner opposite Yong'an Palace, only thirty or forty big men were seen running towards the palace gate, covering most of the distance in the blink of an eye...
Only then did the military lord realize, he pulled his neck and shouted: "The enemy is attacking! The enemy is attacking! Shoot the arrows! Shoot the arrows quickly! Close the palace gate quickly... close the palace gate quickly!"
It's a pity that things happened in a hurry. Before the guards on the palace wall could draw their bows and shoot a few arrows, the group of big men running on the street had already reached the palace gate. Moreover, because of the desperate resistance of several yellow gates and eunuchs inside the gate, they were not able to do anything for a while.
He managed to close the palace door, but this group of men could easily rush in...
By the time Cao Cao led his men to the palace gate, the old eunuch who had been seducing the military princes with gold on the palace wall had been stabbed several times and was lying on the side covered in blood, dying. Seeing Cao Cao coming, he reluctantly pulled away
He twitched the corner of his mouth, tilted his head and died.
Upon seeing this, Cao Cao gritted his teeth and ordered his men to divide into two groups, killing and blocking the guards all the way, and rushed into the palace to find the deposed emperor. However, when passing by the old eunuch, his steps slowed down a little, and then he strode forward again.
Rush away...
He recognized Cao Cao. The old eunuch's original name was Li Yi when he was a child, and he changed his surname to Cao after Cao Tengfang. When Cao Cao was a child, Cao Yi went to Cao Cao's house and hugged him. In terms of generation, he was considered an old man of his father's generation. Unexpectedly
Cao Yi survived the last palace turmoil, but now he is damaged here...
Yong'an Palace may be big or small, but the palaces suitable for the deposed emperor to live in are the Jingfu, Anchang, and Yanxiu palaces. Therefore, soon someone reported that they had found the deposed emperor Liu Bian!
When Cao Cao arrived, the deposed emperor Liu Bian and Tang Jizheng didn't know what was going on. They thought it was another palace rebellion, so they hugged each other in panic.
Cao Cao hurriedly took a few steps forward, kowtowed to the ground, and said in a deep voice: "My lord, Cao Cao, your escort is late! Your Majesty, please follow me out of the palace as soon as possible!"
"...You...you...want to take my life?" The deposed emperor Liu Bian was a little scared.
"I am here to protect you, and I have no intention of harming you! Your Majesty, please leave as soon as possible!" Cao Cao was a little anxious, and every moment of delay meant more risks.
"…Where do you want to go?" Liu Bian thought it would be better to ask clearly.
"I have made arrangements, and I will keep the Emperor safe! Your Majesty, please leave as soon as possible!" - At this time, I still have the leisure to ask where to go. Do you know that anywhere will be better than here?
"...Tang Ji...can you accompany me?"
"...but!" Cao Cao gritted his teeth, stood up, and directly pulled the deposed emperor Liu Bian out, "Please forgive me for being reckless! The situation is critical, follow me quickly!" - As for Tang Ji,
If she can keep up, let her keep up!
Just as he reached the entrance of the main hall, Liu Bian suddenly stopped and said to Cao Cao: "Stop for a moment! My mother is also here, can I come with you?"
"Yes!" Cao Cao almost breathed a sigh of relief in his chest. He held it back and told the person next to him to go find the Queen Mother He. Then he turned to the deposed emperor Liu Bian and said, "Dong's army will be here in a moment! Please!"
Your Majesty, please don’t delay any longer!”
The deposed emperor Liu Bian finally came to his senses, and stopped making any demands, and ran out with Cao Cao. Tang Ji followed closely behind, holding the train of her skirt, and staggered out of the palace...
***************
Just when Cao Cao led his troops into Yong'an Palace, several soldiers wearing Xiliang soldiers' uniforms began to walk in Buguangli and Yongheli while shouting: "The general has an order! There is chaos in the city.
Emergency martial law! All idlers should stay away, every household should close its doors, and no one can go out without permission. Violators will be punished as traitors!"
Following the ferocious shouts of these Xiliang soldiers, several families who had opened the door to check out the situation quickly ran back, closed the door, bolted it, and hid in the house without daring to make a sound.
.
Suddenly, there were fewer pedestrians on the surrounding streets.
Several Xiliang soldiers exchanged glances with each other, then dispersed, shouting and walking slowly outside.
Lu Bu was familiarizing himself with the use of Fang Tian's painted halberd in the backyard of his residence. He was practicing happily. However, when he heard the city was getting noisy, Lu Bu didn't pay much attention. After all, sometimes the city would be flooded and it would be so chaotic, so he still practiced on his own.
The painted halberd...
But after a while, I heard someone shouting loudly that there were thieves in the city, and when I asked every household to close their doors to prevent thieves, I realized that the current commotion was actually caused by thieves...
Others are afraid of trouble, but he, Lu Bu, is not afraid.
"Just in time to practice my skills!"
Lu Bu happily carried Fang Tian's painted halberd and went out. He saw a Xiliang soldier not far away shouting loudly. He rushed over and grabbed the Xiliang soldier and asked, "Where is the thief?"
"
The Xiliang soldiers were startled, and then at Lu Bu's urging, they pointed to the South Palace.
Lu Bu spat, then picked up Fang Tian's painted halberd and prepared to walk to Nangong. He cursed in his heart, "I don't know who this soldier belongs to. You are dawdling. If you are one of my subordinates, I will beat you to death!"
Just as Lu Bu took a few steps, he suddenly heard the sound of fighting in Yong'an Palace not far away, "Why are there thieves here?" He turned around and prepared to rush to Yong'an Palace...
Seeing that Lu Bu could not be deceived, the Xiliang soldiers followed Lu Bu, quietly drew their swords, and stabbed Lu Bu in the back of the heart——
Lu Bu heard the sound of wind behind him and scurried sideways. Without thinking, he swung Fang Tian's painted halberd backwards. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw that the person who was slashing him was actually a Xiliang soldier. He quickly turned his wrist and changed from slashing to beating.
He slapped the Xiliang soldiers hard and hit the wall with a bang like a folded sandbag before falling to the ground.
Lu Bu walked over and picked up the Xiliang soldier high, and shouted angrily: "Who are you? How dare you attack me secretly?"
Unfortunately, the Xiliang soldier was bleeding from all his orifices and his internal organs were seriously injured. He could no longer speak. He made a "gurgle" sound, vomited a mouthful of blood and died.
"Humph!" Lu Bu threw the dead Xiliang soldier at his feet like a piece of rag. He turned his head and looked at Nangong, then at Yong'an Palace. After thinking about it for a while, he thought it would be better to go to Yong'an, which is closer.
