Hulao Pass. The mountain wind howls, the flags are closed and the hunting is carried out, and the spears and halberds are cold. It was just after four in the morning, the coldest time of the day, not to mention it was still winter. The soldiers who were locked up all had their lips black and purple from the cold, and their skin became stiff. At this moment, an armored general suddenly saw a faint light of fire in the eastern sky. Being able to see the fire from such a long distance could only mean that there was a fire over there. The general did not dare to neglect, so he quickly reported to the officer on duty at night. So this news was reported step by step, and finally it was reported to Li Ru.
Li Ru was Dong Zhuo's son-in-law and his "dog-headed strategist". He was Dong Zhuo's confidant and advised him on all matters, making him a think tank. Dong Zhuo took advantage of the chaos to go to Beijing, proposed surrender to Lu Bu, deposed the emperor, and later moved the capital to Chang'an, etc., all of which were inseparable from Li Ru's contribution as a consultant. It can be said that Li Ru is the main contributor to Dong Zhuo's rise. This time Dong Zhuo went on a personal expedition, so it was inevitable that he would be brought along to make suggestions. During this period of time, Li Ru could talk about being greedy for a long time and working hard to think of ways to break the alliance of princes. It's a pity that his opponents are Cao Cao and Liu Guanzhang, so even though he came up with endless schemes, they had little effect in the end. Then he began to think about how to divide the alliance of princes.
But what he didn't expect was that while he was trying every means to kill various princes, some of the princes had already started committing suicide themselves. If he knew about it, I wonder if he would be depressed, thinking, "If I had known you were committing suicide, I wouldn't have been so tired. It would have been nice to sleep more."
When the messenger handed the news to his desk, Li Ru's beard curled up because he pursed his lips. I was thinking something was wrong here. If you can see the fire here, how big of a fire would it be? Is it possible to cause such a big fire under ordinary circumstances? There must be something fishy in this! His thoughts flashed, Li Ru grabbed the bamboo slips and went to meet Dong Zhuo. Before he even arrived at Dong Zhuo's sleeping tent, he heard thunderous snoring, which made Li Ru complain a little: Father-in-law, you sleep too soundly. Isn't this torturing me? I haven't slept for twelve hours!
I wanted the guards to go in and report, but they hesitated. Because Dong Zhuo hated others disturbing his sleep the most, he would not be able to wake up even if he didn't let him wake up naturally. This made Li Ru anxious. He was almost certain that there must have been an accident at the princes' camp, and maybe the princes were attacking each other - other than that, he could not think of any other reason that could cause a large-scale fire. Undoubtedly, now is the best time to launch an attack on the camp. But without Dong Zhuo's order, even he, Li Ru, had no authority to dispatch troops and generals.
"You! Go and wake up the lord!" Li Ru pointed at a guard forcefully. The guard had no choice but to go in and take a gamble with a grimace. Unfortunately, he lost the bet. After a while, a desperate and frightened scream came from the tent. After a while, a "come in" came from the house. Li Ru breathed a sigh of relief, then trotted into the house. The lamp has been turned on by the maid. There is a fire in the house, which is very warm. A fat, dark-faced man with a full beard and a bloated body was leaning on the soft couch, looking unhappy. Two stunningly beautiful maids served him cautiously.
Li Ru took a look, and what caught his eye was the dark chest hair that occupied two-thirds of Dong Zhuo's chest. No matter how many times it was there, it was always the most eye-catching, making Dong Zhuo look extremely tough, like a ferocious wild bear. Not far away on the left, two maids were cleaning up the blood stains and corpses on the ground.
"What's disturbing our family's dream?" Dong Zhuo asked dissatisfied. Li Ru said: "My lord..." "It's not outside. It's more casual." "It's... Mr. Father-in-law, there is news from his men that there are fires in the east..." Li Ru then reported the situation to Dong Zhuo, and also expressed his guess. Finally, he emphasized, "No matter whether there is civil strife among the princes, we only need to send a team of three thousand people." Dong Zhuo said: "I thought it was something important. If those thieves want to make trouble, just let them make trouble. The bigger the baby is, the happier our family will be and the more sound we will sleep. What time is it now? Wenyou, don’t worry so much. We’ll discuss anything tomorrow. It’s a cold day. Our family has to go back to sleep." If anyone else , had probably already been pulled out and beheaded.
Li Ru had no choice but to give up and leave. Looking at the east, I felt like I had lost a great opportunity. The depressed Li Ru returned to his residence and was about to lie down in his clothes for a while, but someone came to report to him again and handed him a piece of white silk. Inexplicably, Li Ru opened the white silk and felt as if he was struck by thunder. The sleepiness of not sleeping for twelve hours instantly receded like an ebbing tide.
Just because there is a square cinnabar seal stamped on the white silk: if you are ordered by heaven, you will live forever. And there is a line of small words below this eye-catching red seal: For more details, please go to the Earth Temple in the city. You will not be there in half an hour, and you will not wait if it is late!
"Quickly, prepare your horse!" Li Ru shouted loudly, his heart racing. Not long after, more than thirty fast horses rushed out of the military camp, like in the darkest night before dawn...
This night is destined to be difficult to calm down! But no matter whether it is calm or not, time will not slow down or speed up according to people's wishes. It just moves forward unhurriedly, moves forward, and moves forward without looking back.
During the day, around ten o'clock in the morning. After spending a night and half a morning on the road, Yin Kuang and others finally arrived at Luoyang City. But this time they entered the city not from the east gate, but from the west gate. He did not enter the city silently like last time, but pretended to be a merchant fleeing the war and fled to Luoyang City with his family. After spending a large sum of money in process fees and undergoing strict interrogation, more than 130 people entered Luoyang City.
The little emperor had already woken up. Wang Yue tapped his sleeping point, allowing him to sleep comfortably all night, and he felt refreshed when he woke up early in the morning. It's just that he doesn't look good. But he didn't make any noise or resist. In response to Wang Yue's excuse, he just nodded and said lightly, "I understand, I can't help you." This kind of calmness and stability made Qian Qianqian and others want to beat him severely.
But if you compare yourself with others, the little emperor is indeed pitiful. You are the emperor, but you are being manipulated here and there like a puppet, with no freedom at all. Even the only person he trusted, Wang Yue, turned against him because of the theft of the jade seal. I'm afraid that the little emperor only trusts himself in this world now - of course, maybe if Wang Yue really puts Dong Zhuo's head in front of him, he will trust Wang Yue again, but he wants to return to the trust he had before Obviously it's impossible.
It's a pity that when meeting people like Yin Kuang, the little emperor is destined to be even more miserable than in the original work. Because to put it bluntly, Yin Kuang is a group of college students who don't regard him as a human being, try every means to squeeze out his value, and stab him to death when he is worthless. For example, not long ago, while Wang Yue was leaving, Yin Kuang said to the young emperor, "After your majesty was trapped by the Dong thief, I was able to rescue you. Your majesty was imprisoned and deceived by Yuan Shao. I also rescued your majesty. No matter what difficulties your majesty has in the future, I will save His Majesty." It was said in a polite way, but in reality it was just one sentence: You can’t escape my grasp! At this moment, the ten-year-old emperor finally showed his trembling and fear.
Entering the city, Yin Kuang, the second-generation Queen Ying and others settled down in a large house in Nancheng. This house was purchased when the second-generation Queen Sakura entered Luoyang last time, and it is now in perfect use. Then everyone who had been traveling all day did nothing, closed the door, wrapped themselves in quilts, and fell asleep! There was nothing I could do, I hadn't slept for more than twenty hours, and I really couldn't stand it anymore. Even Yin Kuang is no exception.
Yin Kuang slept for a whole day. When he woke up, it was already past twelve o'clock that night. After Yin Kuang drank a few sips of water, he lay down on the bed again, hugging two gentle and soft girls and fell asleep. The second time I woke up was around eight o'clock in the morning. Now, as soon as Yin Kuang opened his eyes, he felt full of energy, his mind was clear, and his whole body seemed to have endless strength. This is in this damn fifth era world. In the past, it didn't matter if I didn't eat or sleep for ten days and a half.
Tang Rouyu and Qian Qianqian are no longer here, probably going to work. After Yin Kuang finished washing up and had a simple breakfast, Qian Qianqian entered the room and said angrily: "You lazy idiot, are you finally awake?" Yin Kuang said with a smile: "Who said that? I was around twelve o'clock last night I just woke up. I just fell asleep again." Qian Qianqian snorted, "You still have the nerve to say that. Sister Tang asked me to see if you woke up. If you haven't woken up yet, I will burn your eyebrows off." The flames dancing on her fingers illuminated the devilish smile on her face. Yin Kuang pulled Qian Qianqian over, put his arms around her slender waist, and asked, "Is there something urgent?"
Qian Qianqian twisted around in a ticklish manner and said, "If I don't tell you, go find Sister Tang." Yin Kuang pinched her nose and asked, "Are you going to tell me?" Qian Qianqian shook her little head, "No. I won’t say anything. But... I can tell you something that will definitely interest you."
"Oh? What is it? If you are not interested in something, I will use you to do something that is interesting to you."
Qian Qianqian blushed, "Are you a gangster? Geez... don't scratch, don't scratch. I said, I said, isn't it okay? The reason why I said you were interested is because I saw Diao Chan!"
"Diao Chan?" Yin Kuang was really interested.
"See? I knew it." Qian Qianqian looked like she had known this for a long time, "Also, you must have never imagined that Diao Chan looks exactly like Lu Xia Leng. Those eyes, those eyebrows, that nose, Tsk tsk... I really want to strip her naked and put her on the fire! Hehe!"
Yin Kuang was stunned.
