Pirates: Be the Master from the East China Sea

If Luo Qi did collude with Dong Zhuo, it was obviously not premeditated.If he wanted to join Dong Zhuo from the beginning, there would be no reason to come to the Zhen family to discuss cooperation.

Sure enough, he was pushed too hard, so he changed his mind temporarily?

He actually wasted the foundation that the Guo family worked so hard to build in Hebei. This Luo Qi is really an incorrigible idiot!

The question now is, what is our next step?

If Yuan Shao is asked to evacuate Luoyang now, he will definitely not agree, and he tried his best to instigate the other party to come, but now his attitude suddenly changes, and he will definitely not be favored, and the favor he expected to send can only come to nothing. Taking over the reconstruction of Luoyang is even more out of the question.

If Yuan Shao's advance is not stopped, once he falls into a trap, the Zhen family will not be able to escape suspicion and will only suffer disaster.

No matter what you choose, there is no way out!

Huang Yueying was quite discouraged and looked up at the sky above Luoyang.

That fire hasn't been lit yet.

Who is it waiting for?

Could it be... Yuan Shao?

Luoyang, prison.

Luo Qi galloped to the prison door on a fast horse and raised his voice: "The Prime Minister is preparing to move the city, and the relatives and hostages of the Kwantung Army must be taken away together. You bring them out quickly, we have to take them with them now." Transfer!"

The jailers raised their heads in surprise: "But the order we received..."

Luo Qi showed his captain's card and said arrogantly: "Here is the captain's card, how dare you delay?"

The jailer hesitated and said: "But since you are a school captain, why are you wearing ordinary people's clothes? Even the soldiers behind you are like this. They don't even have military uniforms..."

Luo Qi sneered and said: "The Prime Minister wants to guard against the Kwantung Allied Forces taking advantage of the situation to attack, so we are specially ordered to pretend to be common people and blend into the people's transfer to avoid being taken hostages by the other side. What do you know!"

The jailer no longer had any doubts and said quickly: "Please wait a moment, sir. We will take them out right now."

Luo Qi waved his hand and said: "Hurry up your hands and feet, so as not to waste our time. Remember, the main hostages we want to take away this time are the hostages of Jiangdong's Sun family, and the Yuan family's... Yuan Wei."

The jailer bowed and said, "I understand, little one."

Luo Qi and Sun Shangxiang behind him looked at each other, with a hint of smile in their eyes.

Zhen Mi's residence, inner courtyard.

Huang Yueying hurriedly entered the room and said, "Zhen Mi, are you there?"

Zhen Mi came out to greet him: "What's the matter?"

Huang Yueying sighed: "My layout can no longer be maintained, we can only find another way."

Zhen Mi raised her eyebrows and said, "You mean... the fire that hasn't been lit yet?"

Huang Yueying nodded and said: "If I guess correctly, it is not Luoyang that is going to be burned, but Yuan Shao... That Luo Qi has defected to Dong Zhuo!"

Zhen Mi was surprised: "Why would he do this?"

Huang Yueying sighed: "Although this trap was set by him, it was our Zhen family who led Yuan Shao into Luoyang. If the Yuan family pursues him in the future, we will not be able to escape the blame. As long as the Zhen family is eradicated, Luo Qi will not have to Afraid that we might use it to blackmail him!"

Zhen Mi said in surprise: "The Guo family's foundation is also in Hebei. Does he want to give up completely?"

Huang Yueying gritted her teeth and said: "That's why I said that he is a huge idiot. He doesn't know how to weigh the trade-offs of interests. Instead, we made one miscalculation and lost everything!"

Zhen Mi panicked: "Then what should we do now?"

Huang Yueying said: "Unless we can rescue Yuan Shao from the trap, there is no excuse at all. But since Dong Zhuo has been prepared, how easy is it to rescue Yuan Shao?"

Zhen Mi sighed: "Is it true that there is nothing we can do now?"

Huang Yueying cried and said: "I'm sorry Zhen Mi, I really didn't expect that Luo Qi would act like this. I thought that my layout was invincible, but I didn't expect that it was actually so full of flaws!"

Zhen Mi shook her head and said, "I won't blame you. I will never blame you."

They were talking when they suddenly heard the door curtain ringing. Han Yue stepped in with an indifferent expression and said calmly: "Actually, you two don't have to be so nervous. My young master has not given up on cooperating with you."

Zhen Mi raised her eyebrows and said, "...it's you!"

Huang Yueying frowned and said: "Since your young master has taken refuge with Dong Zhuo, then you are here to be a lobbyist, right... Do you want to draw our Zhen family into Dong Zhuo's camp?"

Han Yue said calmly: "My young master did not seek refuge with Dong Zhuo. All this was just a ruse."

Huang Yueying snorted: "Absurd!"

Huang Yueying said: "Is there anything wrong?"

Huang Yueying said coldly: "The fact that you led Yuan Shao into a trap is clearly evidence of your surrender to Dong Zhuo. Do you want to say that you will... rescue Yuan Shao?"

Han Yue nodded and said, "That's exactly it."

Huang Yueying was startled and had a vague understanding: "But since Yuan Shao has entered Dong Zhuo's urn, how easy is it to get out?"

Han Yue smiled and said: "It is certainly difficult under normal circumstances, but we have Dong Zhuo's personal cooperation."

Huang Yueying was surprised: "How is this possible?"

Han Yue said calmly: "With my young master's plan, nothing is impossible. I have already avoided Li Ru's eyes and ears, and agreed with Dong Zhuo on another set of action plans. And this is my young master's real plan, control The strongest layout of all possibilities.”

Huang Yueying raised her eyebrows and said, "Why does Dong Zhuo trust him so much?"

Han Yue said calmly: "Dong Zhuo is willing to trust my young master. The key is that this plan does not pose any risk to him. Unfortunately, in order to deepen his trust, we also suggested to him the policy of excavating royal tombs to enrich military resources and expand The strength of the Xiliang army."

Huang Yueying pondered for a moment and sighed slightly: "So now you and I are unable to afford the rebuilding of Luoyang on our own, so we can only choose to cooperate, right?"

Han Yue nodded and said, "It's just that for this cooperation, the Zhen family must obey."

Huang Yueying smiled bitterly and said: "If what you said is true, then after Yuan Shao is rescued by you, Luo Qi will gain his extreme trust and gain the right to speak for the Zhen family. Now you are our only hope , is this the bargaining chip you came here to negotiate with?"

Han Yue said calmly: "The question now is, after we exonerate the Zhen family, will you still use your so-called leverage to deal with us?"

Huang Yueying said helplessly: "So... what do you want?"

Luoyang, inside the city.

Gao Lan reported: "My lord, I came to report to you. When Dong Zhuo evacuated, it seems that he left the previously deposed King Hongnong in the palace instead of taking him away..."

Yuan Shao raised his eyebrows and said, "Jushou, what do you think?"

Jushu said: "If Dong Zhuo kidnaps the young emperor, he will be able to use the emperor to control the princes in the future, but now he only takes away Liu Xie who he established. If we can re-establish Liu Xie as emperor, then we can have a separate court to compete with Dong Zhuo capital, but how could a pie fall from the sky out of thin air, and we encountered too few defenders in the city, so I suspect that this may be a trap, and there must be murderous intent in the palace."

Yuan Shao raised his eyebrows and said, "Are you saying that I shouldn't enter the palace?"
