Chapter 202: The Jade Seal of the State is in hand
"...Zilong, please stay well. My brother Bo Gui has not said that he will retreat from here and will not contribute to this matter. Don't think too much about it..."
Liu Bei held Zhao Yun's hand and spoke sincerely.
At this time, Liu Bei had already come out from Gongsun Zan's place. After Gongsun Zan personally saw him off for a while, he asked Zhao Yun to see Liu Bei off on his behalf.
This is a method he uses to express his trust in Zhao Yun and to win over and cultivate feelings for Zhao Yun.
Little did he know that his operation was no different from sending a sheep into a tiger's mouth.
Xuande, who has not thick eyebrows but rather overly big eyes, has been a person who has taken refuge in many people in history and is very popular.
After hearing this, Zhao Yun said after a while: "I hope it is as Duke Xuande said. I, Zhao Yun, came here because I wanted to kill the enemy in front of the battle, make some achievements, and contribute to the country...
"
"Zilong, please go back, there is no need to send you forward..."
After walking forward for a while, Liu Bei said this to Zhao Yun, and Zhao Yun stopped as he was told.
He did not go back immediately, but stood here and watched Liu Bei leave before starting to go back.
On the way back, Zhao Yun seemed worried.
"well!"
When he was about to reach the camp gate, he let out a long sigh, stretched out his hands and rubbed his face vigorously to prevent himself from appearing so worried, and then continued walking into the camp...
…
A group of soldiers and horses galloped all the way east from the direction of Luoyang.
Not too long after these soldiers and horses left Luoyang, black smoke was already rising in Luoyang.
At the beginning, the black smoke was still small, but after a long time, it was already thick smoke, covering the sky and the sun!
Suddenly, people from very far away were looking towards Luoyang.
Some people looked back and cried, some looked sad, as if they were mourning their heirs...
Some people were so angry that they cursed Dong Zhuo in a deserted place or in their hearts...
Cai Yong, who had already left Luoyang and followed the others towards Chang'an, looked at the billowing smoke rising from Luoyang and felt extremely heavy and sad for a moment.
While grieving, there is also some joy and gratitude.
The only person who has such complicated emotions at this time is his son-in-law Liu Huangshu.
If his son-in-law Liu Huangshu had not informed him in advance and arranged for manpower to help him move his collection of books out of Luoyang and transport them to Chang'an, I am afraid that at least half of the collection of books that he regards as his life would have been destroyed.
burn!
This can really kill people!
…
Thick smoke billowed into the sky, and the capital city that the Eastern Han Dynasty had used for many years was abandoned and burned down!
The last fig leaf of the Eastern Han Dynasty was completely stripped off by Dong Zhuo. With the raging fire, everything was burned cleanly...
Regarding this fire, Lu Yang had a more intuitive feeling than many people.
Because at this time, he has not left Luoyang yet.
The complete chaos has not ended for a long time. It has only been more than a day since the soldiers who had been surrounding the palace, looting and carrying precious things were evacuated.
Although he was well prepared, in such a short period of time, he still couldn't find the imperial seal from the well in the palace.
According to Liu Cheng's instructions to him, Lu Yang did not have to die in person or go to too dangerous a place.
But Lu Yang knew how important the imperial seal was, so he quietly stayed in Luoyang and watched this matter in person.
In Luoyang City, many places were burning with flames, including the imperial palace.
However, the palace is very large and it is impossible for all places to catch fire at the same time.
Liu Shui took advantage of this gap and led his people to continue to search for water wells in the abandoned palace, and to observe and salvage the water wells.
Such behavior is also very dangerous.
After all, there are too many places on fire in Luoyang City. No one knows where the fire will spread in the future, whether it will block the roads and trap them to death!
In order to find the jade seal and to be able to help his lord, Lu Yang really risked his life!
The flames were burning brightly, and soon the roof of the palace collapsed, roaring and bringing up smoke and dust because the supporting beams, rafters and other wooden objects were burned.
All these have caused great psychological pressure on Lu Yang and others, making them more and more urgent.
However, Yu Xihua was not found, and Lu Yang did not give orders, so everyone had to continue searching and salvaging quickly here.
…
"There's someone here!"
After a while, someone shouted loudly, pointed to a well, and shouted loudly.
Several people nearby ran to the well and looked inside, only to find that things were different from what they thought.
There is no one hiding there to avoid the chaos. The so-called person is a dead person.
A woman in palace clothes is floating in the well. Her face cannot be seen, but you can tell that she is a woman.
After seeing the scene clearly, several people used ropes and hooks to fish the woman out of the well.
Everyone worked together and it didn't take long to fish out the woman.
This woman had been dead for more than a day or two. Her whole body was swollen, and the skin and flesh in many places on her body were rotten. Yellow water was dripping from the well water.
Someone watching on the side couldn't help but retched.
"What a bad luck, just throw her aside and ignore her!"
Someone covered his nose and spoke angrily.
As he said that, he used the stick in his hand to pull the woman to the side.
"Pap..."
A small package fell out of the woman's arms and fell to the ground with a splat.
Such movement immediately attracted everyone's attention.
Judging from the appearance of the package, it can be seen that this is a small wrapped box.
"Take this apart quickly and see what's inside!"
After seeing the package, several people present no longer felt that the corpse was disgusting. Some people said this with excitement.
Immediately, someone bent down and took it into their hands.
The wet little package is very heavy to hold, which makes people feel even more happy.
Peeling away the outer silk cloth, a delicate box was revealed.
There is also a delicate little gold lock on the box.
This made several people more curious about what was inside the box.
Use something to twist off the golden lock, open the box, and a wet jade seal appeared in front of everyone.
A corner of the jade seal was still damaged, but it was repaired with gold...
