Chapter 976 Feng Wang Ce's Dark Fangs

Chapter 974: Feng Wang Ce's Dark Fangs

It wasn't until the moment he walked out of Chang'an City that the string that had been tense in Pei Ju's heart was completely let go, and he turned his head to look at the ancient city behind him with lingering fear.

Before going on a mission, Pei Ju thought that the trip would only be a thrilling trip, but the fact is that he far underestimated the thrilling degree of the trip.

During the days after arriving in Chang'an, Pei Ju clearly felt that he was being targeted by more than one force.

Pei Ju didn't know whether these people who were staring at him wanted to protect him, assassinate him, or both, and he was already caught in the vortex of the game of various dark forces.

So ever since the internal strength was sealed, Pei Ju has not dared to relax for a day, and even checked his meals and drinks several times.

Unsurprisingly, someone really poisoned Pei Ju secretly, intending to poison Pei Ju to disrupt the Liang army's negotiations.

It took only three short days for Pei Ju to enter Chang'an and leave, but he experienced no fewer than ten assassinations.

If Pei Ju's vigilance was not strong enough, he might have been decapitated long ago, but luckily he still broke into this dragon's pool and tiger's lair.

"call……"

Feeling that the inner strength in his body was gradually recovering, Pei Ju couldn't help but let out a long breath, and whispered to himself: "Fortunately, I'm here this time. If it's someone else, I might not be able to go back."

Speaking of this, a cold light flashed in Pei Ju's eyes, and he said coldly: "These shameless bugs, if they dare to appear in front of my evil king, I will kill as many as they come."

After saying that, Pei Ju immediately rode his horse and rushed towards Luoyang in the east under the escort of a group of guards.

In Chang'an City, above the city tower, Dong Zhuo looked at Pei Ju's back with a cold face.

After Pei Ju's figure completely disappeared, Dong Zhuofang said to Lu Buwei next to him, "Send someone to watch Pei Ju. As soon as this person arrives in Chang'an, some ghosts and monsters will start to feel restless. Maybe there will be contact between them."

"No." Lu Buwei replied in a deep voice.

Dong Zhuo was expressionless, and remained silent for a long time, not knowing what he was thinking, but after a while he asked, "Military Master, do you think Shimin is really dead?"

Lu Buwei was silent for a while, and said: "Master, this possibility is not impossible, but it is not high."

"Oh? Why?" Dong Zhuo asked indifferently.

"For a general of General Li's level, even if he dies in battle, he won't be able to find any broken limbs.

Of course, the possibility of no bones remaining is not ruled out, but the subordinates still believe that it is more likely that General Li will be captured alive. "

Dong Zhuo nodded in agreement, and asked, "Then do you think the coalition forces will let Shimin go?"

"It's absolutely impossible." Lu Buwei said with certainty.

Dong Zhuo took a deep breath when he heard the words, and didn't continue to ask why, because he already knew the answer.

It was as if Dong Zhuo captured Qin Hao alive, and Qin Wen came to ask him for it, Dong Zhuo would absolutely not agree.

"I ordered Li Xiuning to take full responsibility for the negotiations with the coalition forces, and I also ordered Liang Wei to rescue Li Shimin at all costs."

"promise."

A trace of exhaustion flashed across Dong Zhuo's face, and after thinking deeply for a while, he said, "Send someone to Kunlun Mountain immediately, and inform Taoist Master Taiqing of the news of Shimin's capture."

"But my lord, the Taoists have said before that they will no longer join our Liang army."

"This is not just about my Liang army, but also about his Taoism. After all, Shimin is also Taiqing's grandson, so he won't watch Shimin die."

"It's...it's true."

--------

In September of the first year of Zhongping (189), the 36 princes met in Suanzao and elected Nanyang prefect Qin Hao as the leader of the coalition.

Qin Hao did not launch an attack immediately, but ordered the coalition forces to conduct a two-month training, and then launched the third battle of Hulao Pass, and then divided his troops into three groups to attack the other three passes in Sizhou.

Until Qin Haoguang broke through the Hulao Pass, and the other two broke through the southern checkpoint, it was more than half a year when the three armies joined Luoyang, and it was April of the second year of Zhongping (190).

Luoyang was quickly breached, and Qin Hao sent envoys to negotiate, and the negotiation process did not take too long.

In the second year of Zhongping, May [-]th.

As the envoy of the coalition forces, Pei Ju returned to Luoyang and brought back the good news of Dong Zhuo's compromise.

As soon as this news came out, the coalition forces collectively erupted. After all, this meant that the war was coming to an end and peace was coming!

As for the conditions proposed by Dong Zhuo, they were subconsciously ignored by the princes. After all, in their view, since Dong Zhuo, who has always been strong, can compromise once, he must be able to compromise a second time.

As for Pei Ju, who risked his life to go to Dong Ying as an envoy, he was regarded as a hero by all the coalition forces. His deeds of verbally fighting all officials were also widely circulated among the coalition forces, and quickly radiated to the whole world, which also made Pei Ju's reputation skyrocket.

After learning the whole story from Pei Juna, Qin Hao was far less optimistic than the princes.

Dong Zhuo firmly believed that Li Shimin was still alive, and he did not hesitate to take Li Shimin back as the only price for the truce. This obviously regarded Li Shimin as his successor, so it was even more impossible for Qin Hao to let Li Shimin go.

In Qin Hao's mind, the value of Li Shimin was even greater than that of the entire four counties of Sizhou. The reason why he didn't kill Li Shimin for the time being was only to drain his last remaining value.

When Li Shimin loses his final use value, Qin Hao will kill Li Shimin without hesitation, and then return Li Shimin's body to Dong Zhuo, making him completely give up.

Don't look at Dong Zhuo's tough attitude now, but for him, Li Shimin's life is valuable, and once he dies, everything will go wrong. He will never continue to fight for a dead person and Qin Hao.

This time Li Xiuning is the negotiating envoy of the Liang army, and she will use the key of the Tiangong Treasure as the last card in exchange for the life of her second brother, but what Li Xiuning doesn't know is that she will personally ring the death knell for her brother.

"My lord, Li Xiuning has entered Luoyang City." Nong Yu reported.

When Qin Hao heard it, he suddenly regained his energy, and said with a smile: "The key is here, let's go and meet her together."

What Qin Hao didn't know was that when he went to see Li Xiuning, Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu brothers got together again, and he didn't know what they were plotting again.

"Brother, the old thief Dong Zhuo has given up, and if this continues, I'm afraid Sizhou will really fall into Qin Hao's hands."

Yuan Shu's words also made Yuan Shao frowned, but there was really no way to do it. Whoever let the forces of other princes and Sizhou not border each other, and the borders were all small princes like Wang Shichong, it was impossible to compete. Don't have the guts to fight with Qin Hao!

"Qin Hao is the leader of the coalition. It is justifiable for him to take advantage of the situation to guard the four counties of Sizhou. No one has the qualifications except him. But..."

A gleam of coldness flashed in Yuan Shao's eyes, and he said flatly: "I, Yuan Benchu, will not let him get Sizhou so easily."
