Liu Bian bit his lip, took Zhao Zhong's hand, and walked forward slowly.

The little emperor had never walked such a long distance since he was born, and he was urged to go forward even if he was being led by someone. At this moment, even if someone led him, his face was still pale, and his legs under the wide crown were constantly shaking. .

The eight-year-old Chenliu King Liu Xie followed behind him, looked at his brother who was walking more and more heavily, and called out cautiously: "Your Majesty..."

From the upper west gate to the south, after crossing the water, there is darkness, especially tonight when the moonlight is bleak, every step they take is extremely difficult, not to mention the two pampered children, even a few eunuchs are a little too weak up.

When King Chen Liu called out, Liu Bian didn't turn his head, but the eunuchs turned their heads first.

Zhao Zhong walked in the front, his face without a beard was pale by the moonlight, combined with his wrinkled face and expression of wanting to cry without tears, he looked like a hanged ghost swindling his corpse:

"Your Highness, don't worry, you will be able to reach the White Horse Temple after a short walk..."

The White Horse Temple is backed by Mang Mountain in the north and Luoshui in the south, more than ten miles away from the main city of Luoyang. The nobles who believe in Buddhism in Beijing often go here by car to pray for the Buddha, so the decoration here is also very magnificent.The eunuchs chose to rest here, which is considered smart.

Of course, Liu Bian and Liu Xie knew nothing about it.They didn't know the "good intentions" of the regular attendants, nor did they know that the White Horse Temple was more than ten miles away from the capital, and they might have to walk until daytime the next day with only two feet.

If you really want to go to the White Horse Temple, it's just a stop. Where will you go after the repair?Perhaps even the leader Zhao Zhong didn't dare to think about it.

The Liu family brothers nodded obediently, and continued to follow tremblingly.

Song Dian, who was protecting Liu Bian, knew what Zhao Zhong meant. After hearing what he said, he paused, and involuntarily raised his head to look at the gray crescent moon, feeling that there was always a stone in his heart.

He thought to himself: "I don't know if the owner of the pavilion can find it..."

He only left two clues of "Shangximen" and "Shuishui". It was really out of helplessness——Guo Sheng and Zhao Zhong decided on the route after leaving the city gate.Before that, the eunuchs were just thinking about "escape from the West Garden".

After all, Qin Chu has not been in Luoyang for a long time, starting from the area of ​​Shangximen, can she find it here?

If the little emperor and King Chen Liu were found back, what would happen to him?How far can Qin Chu protect him?

The old eunuch was in a mess, so he didn't look at his feet. If he didn't pay attention, he almost tripped over the stones under his feet. Fortunately, he had quick eyesight and quick hands, and used Liu Bian's shoulder to stabilize his body.

The North Palace is on fire, and my life is almost lost. Who cares about this kind of dignity?After getting up, Song Dian silently put down his hands, just pretending that nothing happened.

Apparently Liu Bian didn't care too much—or he didn't realize Song Dian's transgression at all, and he kindly reached out to support him, and asked with some concern:

"Song Dian, are you okay?"

"Your Majesty is fine, don't worry." Song Dian forced a smile, Chai Baba's ugly face was not much prettier than Zhao Zhong's.

He wanted to turn his head and say something more, to comfort Liu Bian, so as to make himself feel at ease, but his eyes flickered, and suddenly he seemed to see a little fire.Song Dian wiped his eyes fiercely, and then looked to the east, suddenly he couldn't move his feet:

"That is……?"

Liu Bian, who was walking beside him, looked around in confusion, and even Liu Xie slowed down.

Song Dian stopped completely.

That light is not an illusion, it has formed a short line and is moving forward!

Immediately afterwards, the sound of horseshoes stepping on the ground sounded from a distance, mixed with the sound of whipping and shouting.The previously inseparable dark clouds dispersed from the crescent moon almost at the same time, and in the blink of an eye, the clear moonlight just fell on the weedy ground.

Even Zhao Zhong, who had been leading the way at the front, realized that his whole body froze, and he turned around slowly.

Under the cold moonlight, Liu Bian finally saw his face clearly - that old face, without the cover of beard and hair, his emotions can be seen at a glance.Fear, numbness and panic were mixed together on one face, and it was almost blank.

The courtiers caught up.

He finally realized that "the general situation is over" amidst the sound of horseshoes.

As if he was suffering from epilepsy, Zhao Zhong's face twitched violently, then quickly lowered his head, and pulled out the sword that he had snatched from the guard at his waist. Shaking like sifting chaff, and crying in the blink of an eye.

"Your Majesty, after we die, Luoyang and the world will be in chaos, please take care!"

He uttered the word "take care" with trembling lips, stabbed the sword fiercely in his chest, stared straight into Liu Bian's eyes, bent over and fell down as if unable to hold on.The eunuch had a black heart and lungs, and the blood that flowed out was also crimson. That color slowly gushed out from his chest, and soon seeped into the ground.

Liu Bian was already dumbfounded, and when Zhao Zhong fell to the ground with his eyes open, he let out a "ah" in a daze, asking for help and holding Song Dian's dirty arm: "Song, Song Dian!"

Before he could organize his scattered words and say something, Guo Sheng, who was walking at the end, also knelt down with a "slap", smiled miserably at the bewildered King Chen Liu, and stabbed the long sword in his chest towards the chest. The second round of impact on the young royal nobles is about to be carried out——

"Take him!"

A young woman's voice suddenly sounded behind her.

Just when the second son of the Liu family and the eunuch Guo Sheng were at a loss, the tall soldier had already snatched the iron sword that had pierced two or three millimeters, and kicked it flying several meters away.

On the other side, another soldier grabbed the dying Zhao Zhong, checked his breath, and reported:

"My lord, this won't last long."

Guo Sheng's hand froze in place, while the 13-year-old boy, Tianzi, trembled when he heard the familiar clear voice, and raised his head almost sluggishly.

I saw a beautiful face that was so sharp.

This face is not very sharp-edged, with bright eyes and thin eyebrows, it looks younger than its actual age, more like the appearance of a noble girl in a boudoir, which makes people like it just by looking at it.Only a pair of pale almond eyes, colder than Luo Yang's sharpest sword, did not hesitate to beat the word "cute" that should have been attached to his body to bits and pieces.

Simply startling.

"Take it back first, whether you can save it or not is another story." She ordered lightly.

Liu Bian had just watched the eunuch's suicide, and he was still a little stupid. Hearing the words, he met her eyes, and involuntarily stood back and took a small step.

The woman didn't seem to notice his small movements. After saying this, she simply turned over and got off the horse, took two steps forward, knelt down, and clasped her fists at Liu Bian:

"Chen Fuchu's late rescue has surprised His Majesty."

"General, please get up," he stammered for a long time before recovering, and showed Qin Chu a smile that was uglier than crying, "Since the general found me...you found me, then... first..."

The words behind him choked and choked, after all, he didn't say it.

Qin Chu didn't pay much attention to him, of course he didn't think about the complicated feelings of a 13-year-old cowardly boy who survived a desperate situation.

She put on a serious face and listened to him for a while, but in the end she only heard his faltering, just about to ask, but she heard Liu Xie took his words:

"Since the general has found me and Your Majesty, let's go back to the palace first."

As Liu Xie spoke, he glanced at the disheveled Guo Sheng Song Dian, and wanted to say something more. After all, the eight-year-old child's language skills were limited, so Qin Chu interrupted him:

"In this case, Your Highness, please mount the horses of the soldiers. As for the rebels who are holding His Majesty..." She glanced calmly at Song Dian, who lowered his head, "I will deal with it."

As Qin Chu said, he waved to the soldiers holding torches behind him, and two of them came out immediately.She whispered a few words to the female general, who nodded, exchanged glances with the third person, and escorted Guo Sheng and Song Dian to the end of the line.

Seeing that Ma Chao beside her had helped Liu Bian and Liu Xie onto the horse, she secretly breathed a sigh of relief, her hanging heart finally fell to the ground, she also stretched her legs and stepped onto the Zhaoye Jade Lion, patted the white horse's head, and looked at the white horse. The soldiers behind him called out:

"Okay, let's go."

Liu Bian and Liu Xiexi rode a black horse, and the soldiers leading the horses were below.The two of them suffered too many accidents in one night, and they were both young and innocuous Qiongzhi Yuye. Even if they were rescued and escaped from danger at this moment, they were still as if they had fallen into the clouds and mist, at a loss as to what to do.

As soon as Qin Chu opened his mouth, the two cast their gazes over at the same time, but only saw the scarlet cloak rustling in the evening wind.

Qin Chu didn't have eyes behind his back, so of course he didn't know what the two princes were thinking.As she gave the order, she stepped forward on her horse, without showing any sign on her face, but secretly rejoicing in her heart:

"...It's okay, it's okay, I really took the opportunity and didn't run into the old beast."

The old animal was referring to Dong Zhuo who had asked for an "alliance and alliance" before.

Dong Zhuo is a wolf with ambition, and he has been planning since he received He Jin's secret letter, and has set his eyes on the weak Luoyang court.If it wasn't for Qin Chu's anticipation and the signal left by Song Dian, it would be hard to say who would have found this place first, she or Dong Zhuo.

Ma Chao came in a hurry, and as soon as he received the message from the soldiers, he rushed towards the upper west gate non-stop. Before leaving, Guo Jia stopped him and asked to send another message to Qin Chu.

"Dong Zhuo is also leading the army to the west. I don't know if he has any specific news. Please be prepared, my lord."

She was indeed wary of Dong Zhuo, even with many infantry, after receiving the news, she abruptly increased the marching speed by a gear, and finally found him before Guo Sheng.

She could finally breathe a sigh of relief.

However, at this time, Qin Chu hadn't realized that some words had to wait until they were consummated, otherwise it would be easy to make a prophecy, and make some moths before everything was over.

For example, her phrase "I didn't meet the old beast".

When she was leading a team of hundreds of people slowly towards Yongmen in the east, there was another team from the same area as her, with the same bad intentions, speeding towards here.
