Chapter 22, the death of the Spirit Emperor
"Wow--!" There was a sudden uproar among the surrounding spectators, and a punch could smash a hole in the wall made of bluestone slabs. What would happen if this punch hit a person? For a while, everyone couldn't help worrying about Zu Zhao. Zu Zhao had just been able to save the little drunkard. In everyone's hearts, they still had a good impression on Zu Zhao.
Seeing that Zu Zhao dodged his punch, the strong man was not surprised. He grinned and waved his fists at Zu Zhao like rain.
Just now, although Zu Zhao was hit by the fist of the strong man, the advantages he had accumulated before were all gone. In the face of the stormy attacks of the strong man, Zu Zhao could only hide again and again, relying on his flexible footwork to avoid the attack of the strong man, and occasionally got up and flew up to win back the advantage.
Unfortunately, Zu Zhao's whipping leg method fell on the strong man, but it was not painful or itchy, which made Zu Zhao very helpless.
Zu Zhao and the strong man fought, and neither of them was injured, but they suffered from the restaurant clerks and officers and soldiers who had been beaten down by the strong men before. Zu Zhao paid attention to his feet, jumped several times, and deliberately noticed that he did not touch those wounded.
But the strong man has no taboos. He doesn't care what's under his feet. He just has been trampled by the strong man, and a lot of injuries have been added to his body.
It was the previous little drunkard, who sat on the ground with a wine jar in his arms, drinking wine, watching the fight of the strong man beside him, and clapped his hands from time to time. I guess he saw the fight between the two as a performance to help him drink.
The fist wind of the two people blowing on the little drunkard, causing the little drunkard to keep shouting: "Cool! It's so cool! A little more wind!"
So, Zu Showa's strong man attacked hundreds of moves in a row, but no one could do anything about it. Although Zu Zhao had gradually fallen to the wind, he was flexible, and the strong man did not hit him with a single punch.
Although Zu Zhao hit the strong man many times, the strong man was not afraid of Zu Zhao's attack at all. At most, he only took a step back after being hit.
Where is it? Where is the murderer? Get out of the way! Get out of the way!" Just as the two were fighting, another exclamation sounded from a distance, and there was also a dense footsteps. Judging from the footsteps, at least 200 people were coming here.
Zu Zhao and the strong man stopped at the same time and turned his head to look in the direction of the noise. Obviously, it was the help of the officers and soldiers. Although the strong man just said so boldly, such troubles are still not good.
Then, the two looked at each other, but they seemed to have a good heart, and retreated three steps at the same time. The strong man said with a regretful face, "It's a pity! This time it's a draw! It seems that we have to come again next time to win or lose!"
Zu Zhao knew in his heart that if he continued to fight, he would undoubtedly lose. Since the strong man said so, he also left face for himself. Zu Zhao also said with a smile and hugged his fist: "Don't worry! There will be plenty of opportunities in the future! Zu Zhao, the character Liechen! Dare to ask your brother's name?"
"Ha ha!" The strong man couldn't help but be stunned, but he reacted, laughed, hugged his fist and shouted, "How dare we fight, but we don't know each other's name yet!" My name is Meng Zhan!"
The footsteps and noise of officers and soldiers coming from the outside are getting closer and closer, and Meng Zhan no longer dares to delay. Immediately, Meng Zhan hugged Zu Zhao and shouted: "Brother Zu! See you later!" After saying that, Meng Zhan jumped directly to the upstairs of the building outside, followed by a few jumps, and there was no trace in a blink of an eye.
Zu Zhao was still in place and watched Meng Zhan's back gradually blend into the night. Suddenly, he felt that his arm was pulled by something, and his whole body was pulled aside.
Zu Zhao turned his head and looked, but it was the little drunkard who was sitting on the ground drinking. He was pulling his clothes and walking aside, shouting, "Why are you still standing stupidly?" Hurry up and run!"
Zu Zhao was just stunned for a moment, and then confusedly followed the little drunkard in the other direction. There were bursts of shouts from behind, and Zu Zhao understood. Although he didn't fight the staff and those officers and soldiers of the restaurant, he just fought with the murderer in full view of the murderer. Now he has run away, and those officers and soldiers are bound to blame themselves.
Listening to the noise behind, Zu Zhao could only be pulled into the crowd by the little drunkard. Not to mention, although the path chosen by the little drunkard turned Zu Zhao a little dizzy, it didn't take long to get into an alley and get rid of the officers and soldiers.
Zu Zhao looked at the entrance of the alley and made sure that no one was chasing him before shrinking back. Zu Zhao was fine. After running for such a while, the little drunkard was a little breathless, but what made Zu Zhao a little angry and funny was that even so, the little drunkard still held the wine jar tightly and refused to let go.
After taking a few deep breaths, the little drunkard calmed down his breath, picked up the wine jar and poured a sip. A trace of rosy appeared on his face, but he stretched out his tongue and licked the remaining wine stains on his lips, which was very enjoyable. Seeing the little drunkard, Zu Zhao couldn't help smiling bitterly, holding his fist and saying, "Thank you for your help just now!"
The little drunkard waved his hand carelessly and said, "Nothing! You just saved my life, and now I'll take you out. Everyone once, it's even!"
Hearing the little drunkard's words, Zu Zhao felt that he didn't know how to answer. He looked left and right and asked without saying, "Little brother, are you from Luoyang?"
The little drunkard stared at Zu Zhao angrily and said, "Brother! Now we are fleeing! There's really nothing important, so don't talk!"
After being robbed by the little drunkard, Zu Zhao was suddenly speechless. He squinted at the little drunkard pouring wine one after another, thinking, are you still escaping? However, Zu Zhao didn't say anything. He simply sat on a small stone pier next to him and looked up at the night sky, thinking about what had just happened.
Zu Zhao never thought that he would encounter the Mongolian war under such circumstances. Now that I think about it, it is really not wrong. Recalling the fight with Meng Zhan just now, Zu Zhao couldn't help sighing that Meng Zhan was also a fierce general!
Suddenly, Zu Zhao couldn't help laughing bitterly. He actually wanted to receive Meng Zhan from his account, but now I'm afraid it's difficult to meet him again.
"Hey, hey!" Seeing that Zu Zhao really ignored himself, the little drunkard quit again. He shouted a few times, called Zu Zhao back to his senses and said, "I said, your accent doesn't look like Luoyang. Why did you come here to Luoyang?"
Zu Zhao looked back at the little drunkard, looking like a big kid, and said with a smile, "Little brother, this is the question I just asked you. You didn't answer my question. Why should I answer you?"
The little drunkard didn't expect Zu Zhao to be able to say such a thing, but it made him speechless. In the end, he could only hum and mutter, "What's so great! Don't say it!" With that, he turned around and drank wine by himself.
Looking at the little drunkard's temper, Zu Zhao just smiled faintly, but said, "Okay, little brother! What if we all answer each other's questions so that everyone won't suffer losses? You just heard my conversation with that strong man. My name is Zu Zhao! It's from Liaodong! What about you?"
The little drunkard raised his eyebrows, hesitated for a moment, and finally said, "Although this suggestion seems that I have suffered a little, forget it! Just let you take advantage of it! Remember, my name is Guo Jia, and my name is Fengxiao! It's from Yingchuan!"
"Guo, Guo Jia? Do you think your name is Guo Jia? Zu Zhao almost didn't jump up. Suddenly, he stared at the little drunkard in front of him. He couldn't believe that this drunken little drunkard would be the first-class counselor who would later become famous all over the world, Guo Jia! Zu Zhao first looked at Guo Jia from head to toe, and then simply circled around Guo Jia several times and looked back and forth.
Although Guo Jia was a little drunk, she was generally sober. When Zu Zhao looked at her, of course, her whole body was uncomfortable. She directly grabbed Zu Zhao's arm and scolded, "You, what are you doing!"
After being drunk by Guo Jia, Zu Zhao found that he was really too rude, so he grabbed the back of his head with embarrassment, but his face was still full of suspicion and asked again, "Do you think your name is Guo Jia, really Guo Jia? Is it Guo Jia who is filial? You're not mistake, are you?"
Asked so repeatedly by Zu Zhao, Guo Jia was annoyed no matter how good his temper was. Even if he pushed away Zu Zhao, who was in front of him, shouted, "It's inexplicable! Of course, my name is Guo Jia. Guo Jia is not a very famous person. Why do I pretend to be him? I'm not a fool. Can I get my name wrong?"
After being scolded by Guo Jia, Zu Zhao believed that the little drunkard in front of him was really Guo Jia. Thinking that the little drunkard in front of him will become a top counselor in the future, Zu Zhao's heart fluttered
Just ran away from a Meng Zhan, and now another Guo Jia came to the door. It seems that Guo Jia hasn't turned to anyone's account at this time! Thinking of this, Zu Zhao stared at Guo Jia with a pair of shining eyes and asked with a smile, "Little brother! What are you doing in Luoyang?
Seeing that Zu Zhao finally didn't look at himself so strangely, Guo Jia turned around and drank in the wine jar. While burping, he said, "Me? The teacher just let me out recently, and I'm here to catch up with my old friends! But I didn't expect that those guys were all not at home, and I didn't know when they would come back! Unfortunately, I've run out of coils, and I can't help it if I want to! Originally, I wanted to go to the building to have a bully meal, but I didn't expect to meet you two and let me have a meal for nothing. It's really lucky to be served with such a jar of wine!"
Zhu Zhao was speechless. How dare this boy plan to eat free food outside that building! How dare you be so greedy for alcohol! God knows, if he doesn't meet himself and Meng Zhan today, how many beats this boy will suffer for the overlord's meal in the restaurant!
Taking a look at Guo Jia's thin arms and legs, Zu Zhao really admires Guo Jia's boldness. With his small body, he dares to eat a bully meal!
However, Zu Zhao did not delve into this aspect after thinking about it. Now that Guo Jia is in trouble, isn't it giving Zu Zhao a better opportunity? Even if Zu Zhao put on a smiling face that he thought was the most handsome, he stared at Guo Jia and said, "Little brother! If you are really hungry, why don't you come with me!"
"Do you have any wine?" Guo Jia laughed.
Zuzuo laughed: "That's enough!" The two looked at each other and smiled. Zu Zhao knew that Guo Jia, as the first-class counselor of the Three Kingdoms at that time, was known as a genius. It can be said that Cao Cao was able to lay such a deep foundation in the early stage because of Guo Jia.
It can be said that Guo Jia is really a great surprise for Zu Zhao's trip. I believe that no one will want to get this young death, but it is definitely no worse than Zhuge Kongming.
At the same time, Zu Zhao thought that he still needed to find Chen Gong, and this was bound to meet Cao Cao. If so, he must send Guo Jia back to Liaodong first. Thinking of this, Zu Zhao said, "Feng Xiao, I'll take you to a place."
At this time, what Zu Zhao was thinking about day and night was happening in the palace.
"Your Majesty!" Your Majesty!"
A shout came from the Han Emperor's bedroom in the palace and floated in the dark night sky. Liu Hong, Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty, died on his dragon bed in the sixth year of Zhongping, that is, April 1** AD, at the age of 36!
As an emperor and a ruler, Liu Hong is obviously unqualified. But I'm afraid Liu Hong himself did not expect that his death announced the advent of a new era!
It's like outside his bedroom. Although it's so dark now, the dawn will come soon. It's a new day!
Although Yan Shuo, who had been guarding the Han Emperor, cried bitterly and ordered the news to be strictly guarded. However, at this time, Yuan Shao's confidant had secretly spread the news to Yuan Shao outside the palace. Not only Yuan Shao, but also other forces learned the news of the death of Emperor Han through various channels.
In the palace in a remote corner of the palace, Zhao Zhong, who had just learned the news from the door of his Xiaohuang, said to Zhang Rang and others in the palace with a gloomy face, "Your Majesty, Bintian!"
"Ah!" Immediately, all the ten permanent attendants in the hall exclaimed, but they could not hear any sadness from their mouths. Even if Zhang Rang asked, "Then who is around your majesty now?"
Zhao Zhong's work is fine. He has just asked everything clearly and said negatively, "Who else can there be? Of course, it's the boy Jianshuo!"
Zhenshuo has assigned his Xiyuan army to guard your majesty's bedroom, but in my opinion, he can never block the news of your majesty Bintian!"
"That's natural!" Song Dian, who was beside Zhang Rang, immediately shouted. It seemed that when the Han Emperor died like this, he didn't have to be as cautious as just now. "What's the ability of that? Isn't it just by walking and patting the horse to win the favor of your majesty! Fighting with those ministers outside the palace, he is a little tender!"
"Okay!" Zhang Rang waved his hand and shouted directly, "I have received a reply from Dong Zhuo a few days ago, and he has now led a large army to station in Hedong County! As long as the big things happen together, he will lead a large army to Luoyang! Now Your Majesty has arrived! It's time for us to take action! Song Dian! You should go to the Empress Dowager Dong immediately. If I remember correctly, there should be many masters left by Her Majesty's biological father, Marquis Xieduting! Go and intend Empress Dowager Dong and ask her to send those masters to Yongxiang Palace to see if she can distinguish Queen He and the prince!" With that, Zhang Rang made a gesture to wipe his throat.
Song Dian also smiled with the negative test and nodded and said, "I see! Mr. Zhang, don't worry! Leave this matter to me!" After saying that, Song Dian got up directly and walked out of the palace!
"Guo Sheng! You should go to Queen He immediately to find out the news. If the assassin of Empress Dowager Dong arrives, you can also see if you can help! Be sure to kill Queen He and the prince! In order to eliminate future troubles!" Zhang Rang turned his head and shouted at Guo Sheng on the other side. Similarly, Guo Sheng also nodded and stood up straight and walked out of the palace.
"Duan Ji!" Zhang Rang stared at Duan Jue sitting at the end of the banquet on the other side again and shouted, "Go to the gate of the palace and stare at it now. Be careful not to let people spread the news out of the palace!" Zhang Rang never thought that his order was late. Now he is afraid that the news has been transmitted to He Jin through Yuan Shao's mouth!
Of course, Shichangshi didn't know about this and thought that the news had been temporarily blocked by Qianshuo. Duan Juan also nodded and stood up and left the palace.
Finally, Zhang Rang turned his head and looked at Zhao Zhong and said, "Zhao Zhong! You take the rest of the people to decorate the palace. You must control the palace in our hands in the shortest time! This matter has reached the last minute, and I don't want to let Gan Shuo get this advantage!"
Zhao Zhongdang shouted: "Okay! I'm going!" After saying that, he took everyone in the palace except Zhang Rang and walked out of the palace directly. For a while, in the originally crowded palace, there was only one person left to guard the slightly cyan oil lamp.
Zhang Rang's arrangement immediately turned the palace into a chicken and dog jumping. Guo Sheng trotted all the way to Queen He's Yongxiang Palace. Due to Guo Sheng's favored relationship with Queen He, Guo Sheng entered the point of thinking, which can be said to be unimpeded!
rushed directly to the inner hall of Yongxiang Palace. Originally, Guo Sheng wanted to open the door directly and enter as usual, but when his hand just touched the door, a loud shout sounded like thunder in the back of his head: "Who is it!"
This shout scared Guo Sheng. Although Guo Sheng, as one of the ten servings over the years, has been majestic and I don't know how many bad things he has done. However, one of Guo Sheng's biggest weakness is timidness. Now that he is scared by this sound, Guo Sheng sits directly on the ground and looks around in horror, but he doesn't see a shadow!
"What's the matter?" Another sound sounded from the inner hall, but this time it was completely different from the previous shouting. It was Queen He's slightly lazy voice.
Hearing Queen He's voice, Guo Sheng seemed to see a glimmer of light in the dark and hurriedly shouted to the palace, "Mother! Mother! It's a slave! I am Guo Sheng!"
"Oh! It's Guo Sheng! Then come in!" Hearing Guo Sheng's voice, Empress He spoke again. At first, Guo Sheng still dared not move the door. Finally, the maids of honor inside were a little impatient. They directly opened the door and welcomed Guo Sheng into the inner hall.
As soon as he entered the inner hall, Guo Sheng seemed to have escaped from death. He breathed a long sigh of relief, gently stroked his chest, stared at the maid of honor beside him, and asked, "What kind of people were those just now? How can you be so rude?"
The maid of honor seemed to know that Guo Sheng was very favored in front of Queen He. Even if she fell to the ground, she said, "Go back to Lord Guo's words! Outside, they are all newly added guards these days. I heard that they are all very powerful, but I haven't seen them once these days.
New guard? Although Guo Sheng did not show any abnormality on his face, it was a reversal in Guo Sheng's heart. I didn't expect Queen He to increase the guards around her at such a critical moment! Did their plan leak?
Guo Sheng couldn't help guessing, but he quickly denied this conjecture! If Queen He really recognizes their true identity, she will definitely send someone to take them down immediately, and there will be Guo Sheng here?
Guo Sheng is puzzled about the purpose of Queen He's increasing the guard, but no matter what reason Empress He added the guard, Zhang asked Song Dian to persuade Dong Tai's later assassination plan, which didn't work!
Thinking of this, Guo Sheng suddenly seemed to be discouraged. Originally, Guo Sheng wanted to turn around to inform Zhang Rang, but he didn't expect that his feet had just stretched a little behind him. Guo Sheng immediately felt that his body seemed to be frozen and could not move at all.
Guo Sheng can clearly feel that several eyes are staring at him, and Guo Sheng dares to be sure that as long as he turns around, he will be attacked by these eyes immediately!
"Daw! It seems that He Jin has been ready for a long time!" Guo Sheng cursed in his heart, but he didn't dare to do anything strange anymore. He walked directly to the hall. Soon, he saw two figures sitting on the bed in the inner hall. One of the charming women was naturally Queen He, the owner of the Yongxiang Palace!
And the gorgeous teenager sitting next to Queen He, dozed off little by little, is Liu Wei, the son of today's prince, the son of Empress He, and the nephew of General He Jin.
