The Nameless of the Common Clans

After leaving the palace, Zhang Rang met up with Duan Gui, and then led Liu Bian, Liu Xie and Queen Mother He to the direction of Wanggu Gate. After leaving Gumen, it was not far to Beimang Mountain. Entering the mountain, they were temporarily safe.

"Did you bring the imperial seal with you?" Sitting in the carriage, Zhang Rang turned his head and looked at Duan Gui beside him.

"No, I don't know which slave got it. I couldn't find it in a hurry. Time is tight, and there is no time to look for it carefully!" Duan Gui shook his head.

Zhang Rang sighed when he heard it. If he had the imperial seal, he could escape Luoyang and find a place to make a comeback. But if he didn't have the imperial seal, according to the habits of those scholars, if they found it, they would most likely establish a new monarch. At that time, it would be meaningless for them to kidnap the queen mother and the emperor.

But now that things have come to this, Duan Gui can't be blamed. He can only take it one step at a time.

As the city gate was getting closer and closer, a group of people suddenly rushed out from the side. The first one, although gray-haired, was quite strong. He pointed a big spear in his hand and shouted: "Where are you going, eunuch?"

"Lu Zigan!?" Zhang Rang saw who was coming and his heart jumped.

The man was Lu Zhi. He was originally unhappy that He Jin insisted on inviting Dong Zhuo to the capital. After leaving, he had decided to resign. But at night, the city suddenly became chaotic, and the palace was on fire. Lu Zhi was concerned about the safety of the emperor, so he immediately gathered his servants and went to the palace. However, he heard that the emperor was kidnapped, and he was shocked. He calculated that Zhang Rang and others would run here, so he brought his servants to intercept them. Sure enough, he blocked Zhang Rang and his party here.

Although Lu Zhi was old, he was not an ordinary scholar. He was a man of both civil and military skills and had made countless military achievements. Zhang Rang and others were a little scared when they really faced him. However, the pursuers were getting closer and closer. If they were stopped by Lu Zhi, they would surely die.

But Zhao Zhong raised his sword and said sternly: "Let's go quickly, I'll stop them!"

After that, he raised his sword and led his troops to kill Lu Zhi.

Zhang Rang gritted his teeth and asked the driver to drive forward. Although Lu Zhi was angry, he only brought a few servants. Even if Lu Zhi was quite capable, he couldn't stop so many people. In addition, Zhao Zhong and his men fought desperately, making it even more difficult to get away. He watched Zhang Rang's carriage break through the siege and run out of the city.

"Get out of the way!" With a raised spear, two armored soldiers were swept away by Lu Zhi, who stopped a carriage and stabbed the driver to death. He was about to chase another carriage, but Zhao Zhong gritted his teeth and swung his sword forward, and Lu Zhi could not get away for a while.

On the carriage was Empress Dowager He, whose face was pale with fear. Seeing Lu Zhi, she said with joy: "Lu Qing, save my son!"

"Don't worry, Empress Dowager. As long as I have a breath left today, I will kill the eunuch and save your majesty!" Lu Zhi nodded to Empress Dowager He in a busy manner, but the spear in his hand did not stop.

"You old man is looking for death!" Zhao Zhong killed a servant of the Lu family, looked at Lu Zhi standing on the shaft of the carriage, gritted his teeth and cursed, and ordered the armored soldiers to concentrate on besieging Lu Zhi.

At this moment, footsteps sounded from behind. Chen Mo saw Lu Zhi from a distance. Fearing that Lu Zhi might be in danger, he rushed forward with his bowstring trembling. Five armored soldiers who were close to Lu Zhi had been shot dead before they arrived. The pressure on Lu Zhi was relieved.

"Is Lord Lu safe?" He drew his bow and raised his spear, and rushed into the encirclement and directly killed Lu Zhi.

"Don't worry about me. The eunuch kidnapped His Majesty and is heading towards the valley gate. Don't let him leave the city!" Lu Zhi's beard and hair were flying, and he swung his spear in his hand, killing the surrounding armored soldiers in a mess, while shouting at Chen Mo.

"Good!" Chen Mo saw that Lu Zhi was at ease, so he didn't pretend and rushed through with his men and horses.

Zhao Zhong waved his sword and tried to stop him, but he saw a flash of cold light in front of him, and Dalang had already killed him. Before Zhao Zhong could make a move, the cold blade had already wiped his neck, bringing up a puff of blood. Dalang didn't even look at him, and chased Chen Mo away.

Further behind, it was the troops brought by Cao Cao, who rushed over in a large crowd, killing all the armored soldiers blocking the way.

After the two troops rushed over, the remaining armored soldiers saw that Zhao Zhong was dead, so they dared not fight again and fled.

Lu Zhi found a war horse and climbed on the horse. He first comforted the frightened Queen Mother He, and sent several people to send the Queen Mother to the palace, and followed with the servants.

Zhang Rang knew that the pursuers were approaching, so he rode his horse madly all the way. He ran into panicked pedestrians on the road. Chen Mo and others had to take care of them after all. After chasing all the way to the outside of the valley gate, there was no trace of Zhang Rang and others, and the traces on the ground could not be seen clearly at night.

"Let's go after them separately!" After Lu Zhi arrived, he knew that it would be difficult to catch up for a while, so he said to Chen Mo and Cao Cao, and rushed into the darkness with his servants.

Chen Mo and Cao Cao knew each other and smiled bitterly. Chen Mo asked someone to inform Yuan Shao that Zhang Rang had taken the emperor and the queen mother hostage and escaped from Luoyang. Naturally, their number of people was not enough, and more people were needed to chase.

"Brother, follow me!" Chen Mo said, holding Cao Cao who wanted to search for people separately.

"Brother, this is a serious matter. You and I will chase separately." Cao Cao waved his hand. The chance of searching separately at this time is greater.

"I am good at tracking, brother, just follow me." Chen Mo shook his head and said, "I will definitely find it."

The existence of the system gods cannot be told to others. No one will believe it if you tell it, so it is better not to tell it. At the moment, Chen Mo just made up a reason at random. The two groups of people can also take care of each other together, but the old man was too anxious and ran away without waiting for Chen Mo to say anything.

"Brother, do you have such a skill?" Cao Cao said in surprise.

"I know a little bit!" Chen Mo said modestly. He actually didn't know how to track, but the changes in luck could help him determine the general direction.

The two troops joined forces and marched forward under the leadership of Chen Mo, but without lights, the speed inevitably slowed down.

Chen Mo would stop and look around every time he walked a distance, but the time was not long, and he did not even get off the horse. However, Cao Cao did find some traces along the way and was quite surprised and asked: "Brother, how did you track them?"

"My nose is different from ordinary people." Chen Mo made up an explanation casually.

"You are really a strange man." Cao Cao smacked his lips and looked at Chen Mo in amazement. It would be fine if he had a photographic memory, but there was also such a strange vision.

"Little Daoer!" Chen Mo shook his head and said: "Let the soldiers look after each other and don't fall behind."

As they spoke, they had already entered Beimang Mountain. There were mountains and forests all around, which made it difficult to walk, and it was easy to get lost at night, so the speed was even slower, but the direction was correct. Along the way, they caught several soldiers who had fallen behind Zhang Rang.

On the other side, Zhang Rang held the emperor and the Prince of Chenliu hostage and ran all the way to Xiaopingjin, but was blocked by the river.

It was almost midnight, and the sound of fighting in the direction of Luoyang had long been heard. Zhang Rang let out a long breath, looking at the rolling river in front of him, but for a moment he was a little confused. Where should he go next?

While thinking, a group of people suddenly came in front of him and shouted towards this side.

Zhang Rang saw someone coming and hurriedly urged everyone to keep running. He recognized the person coming. It was Min Gong, a clerk in the central part of Henan.

Min Gong was also a famous scholar. Since he entered the officialdom, he has never attached himself to anyone. He has reached his current position step by step with his ability. Tonight, he suddenly saw a fire in Luoyang and came to investigate with his subordinates, but he met Zhang Rang and his group who were fleeing.

Min Gong did not recognize Zhang Rang either. If Zhang Rang was calmer at this time, nothing would happen, but Zhang Rang and his group were already frightened birds. When they saw someone coming, they turned around and ran away.

Min Gong was not a fool, so he knew something was wrong. Without saying anything, he led his men to chase after them, and at the same time, he shouted, "The thieves ahead, stop immediately!"

When he shouted, Zhang Rang and the others ran faster. Min Gong was sure that this person was suspicious, so he chased them faster.

At this moment, there was a big fire ahead, and a group of people were running towards this side. It was Chen Mo and Cao Cao's people who had arrived. Seeing this, Zhang Rang had to turn around and walk towards the river.

Chen Mo and the others would naturally not give up. They led their men and horses to chase all the way to the river. Their eyes fell on Min Gong. Chen Mo frowned and said, "I am Chen Mo, the lieutenant of the lower army, and this is Cao Cao, the lieutenant of the Dian army. Who are you?"

"Min Gong, the Central Department!" Min Gong bowed slightly and frowned, "Why are the two generals here?"

"The eunuchs kidnapped your majesty, and we chased all the way here!" Cao Cao greeted Min Gong.

"How dare the eunuch do this!" Min Gong was shocked when he heard this, and glared at Zhang Rang. Until now, Min Gong still didn't know what happened. At this moment, he wanted to rush up and kill Zhang Rang immediately.

"Be patient!" Cao Cao waved his hand, looked at Zhang Rang and his group who had been forced to the river, and said loudly: "Zhang Rang, things have come to this point, quickly release His Majesty!"

Zhang Rang looked at the soldiers who surrounded him and laughed miserably.

In the carriage, Liu Bian held Liu Xie and said to Zhang Rang: "Rang Gong, don't resist anymore. If you surrender now, you may be given a lighter sentence."

"Your Majesty is kind, but..." Zhang Rang looked at Cao Cao and Chen Mo, shook his head and smiled: "The scholars want to drink my blood and eat my flesh. How can you let us go this time?"

Zhang Rang and Duan Gui knelt down in front of Liu Bian: "Tonight, I was rude and offended Your Majesty. It is a capital crime. I will say goodbye. I hope Your Majesty will take care!"

After saying that, Zhang Rang stood up, turned around and jumped into the rolling river.

"Your Majesty, take care!" Duan Gui also stood up and followed Zhang Rang into the river, disappearing in an instant.

A group of armored soldiers lost their leader and were a little panicked for a while. Chen Mo took the opportunity to shoot and kill the two armored soldiers close to the carriage, and asked people to step forward and protect the carriage.

"We are late in coming to the rescue, Your Majesty, please forgive us!" Chen Mo, Cao Cao, and Min Gong came to the carriage, jumped off their horses, and bowed to Liu Bian.

"Zhang Rang did not intend to harm me." Liu Bian looked at the three timidly.

"Brother, it is time to let the three generals stand up." Liu Xie said softly.

"Generals, please don't be too polite." Liu Bian nodded and said, "Is the Queen Mother okay?"

"Your Majesty, don't worry, the Queen Mother has been rescued and has returned to the palace. We will escort Your Majesty and the Prince of Chenliu back to the palace." The three bowed.

"Thank you, generals."

Chen Mo and Cao Cao looked at each other. The new emperor seemed to be too kind.
