The World of Yellow Sky

Chapter 490
Going out of the city gate did not cause too many twists and turns, and Liu Xie hid in the caravan's carriage.

The businessman was also a secret agent of the embroidered clothes envoy. After he stuffed a bag of five baht coins to the military marquis guarding the gate, he even skipped the inspection and let him go.

The convoy headed east all the way, and under the influence of money, they successfully passed a series of checkpoints.

However, Xuan Tingwei was not a fool, and soon discovered the news of Liu Xie's disappearance.

Dong Zhuo was furious when he heard the news, ordered Xuan Tingwei to follow him, and at the same time dispatched the Xiliang army Jingqi to pursue along the official road, and thoroughly checked the convoy along the road.

"war!"

The coachman driving the car suddenly made a sound.

Sitting in the carriage, Wang Yue's expression suddenly changed. It was the signal they had agreed upon, and the beacon fire was lit, proving that the pursuers were approaching.

"How long until the agreed place?"

"A quarter of an hour at the current pace."

"Thieves Dong sent to pursue must be elite cavalry, this speed will definitely be caught up, I will take His Majesty first! You are driving normally, you should not have been exposed, they are still searching."

Wang Yue got out of the carriage with Liu Xie on his back and changed into a war horse.

Several knights followed Wang Yue and galloped forward with Wang Yue.

The groom who was driving the carriage watched Wang Yue and the others gradually go away with a smile on his face, but it didn't take long for the smile on his face to disappear.

"Zheng!" "Zheng!" "Zheng!"

The sound of drawing knives kept ringing, and carriages without drivers galloped around like headless chickens. On the official road, more than [-] cavalry had already drawn their knives in their hands.

Although Wang Yue asked them to continue hiding, they still decided to use their lives to buy time for the emperor to escape.

……

Wang Yue didn't dare to stay, and galloped all the way, the buildings in front of him were getting closer and closer.

When Wang Yue saw the people surrounding him, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Along the way, he suddenly let out a sigh of relief, but Wang Yue, who was almost killed, took Liu Xie and fell off the horse. Fortunately, Wang Yue rescued him at the last moment by virtue of his superb riding skills.

Wang Yue helped the pale-faced Liu Xie just get off the horse.

The crowd around them split apart like waves, and an old man with white hair who even trembled slightly when he walked walked out of the crowd.

"The old minister came late to rescue me, please forgive me."

When the old man saw Liu Xie, he bowed down immediately.

"Why did Duke Lu commit any crimes?"

Seeing that Lu Zhi was about to bow down, Liu Xie hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed Lu Zhi's arms.

When he saw Lu Zhi, his heart settled down.

"Mr. Lu..."

Looking at Lu Zhi's appearance, Liu Xie couldn't help sobbing.

When Lu Zhi went to war in the past, Liu Hong personally sent him off with his sick body, and Liu Xie also sent Lu Zhi off with Liu Hong at that time.

At the time of the expedition, Lu Zhi at that time was very high-spirited, wearing armor and robes, very majestic.

Seeing Lu Zhi again this time, Lu Zhi was already very old, with gray hair on the temples and sickness.

Liu Xie stretched out his hand tremblingly, touched the white hair on Lu Zhi's head, and couldn't help but shed tears.

"Mr. Lu has a lot of gray hair..."

Lu Zhi was slightly taken aback, his eyes suddenly blurred.

"The veteran is ashamed of the entrustment of the late emperor... The battle of Jizhou was defeated by Xu An, causing the 'moth thief' to grow...When the country is in crisis, it is sick and unable to support His Majesty at the court."

Lu Zhi turned his head away and wiped away the tears in front of his eyes with his sleeve.

Liu Xie held Lu Zhi's hand and sighed, "It's not Lu Gong's fault that the country is in trouble."

In the Battle of Zhangshui, the main force of the Han army led by Lu Zhi was defeated by Xu An, and the Yellow Turban Army of the Four States safely entered the boundary of Bingzhou. The current Yellow Turban Army has become a climate.

Later, Lu Zhi fell into the water by slipping. Although he was rescued by the generals in time, he was exhausted physically and mentally, so he fell into the root of the disease. After returning to Luoyang, he could not afford to be ill.

Dong Zhuo messed up power, Lu Zhi couldn't even get up from the hospital bed even though he was angry in every way.

Until today, the body has only slightly improved.

At this time, Dong Zhuo wanted to kill Liu Xie with poison.

There were no more than a hundred embroidered clothes envoys left, and they were really not sure of taking Liu Xie to Kanto safely, so some people thought of Lu Zhi.

Lu Zhi heard about Dong Zhuo's conspiracy, and chose to assist the Embroidered Emissary without hesitation.

It was also because of Lu Zhi that they knew a path that could bypass the Luoyang pass.

This settlement is actually Lu Zhi's private property, and the people who gather in this settlement are all soldiers of Lu Zhi's family.

"This is not a place to talk. Xiliang cavalry will come at any time. Please mount your majesty and let the old minister escort your majesty to the Kanto."

Lu Zhi stopped his excitement. At this time, soldiers had already brought the horses.

Wang Yue led Liu Xie onto the horse, and Lu Zhiqiang supported his body and also stepped onto the horse. His illness has not recovered, but has only slightly eased, but in order to save Liu Xie, he can't control too much.

In the settlement, there were more than two hundred soldiers of Lu Zhi's family, all armed with sharp knives and bows and arrows on their waists.

Lu Zhi divided more than [-] people into three teams, and first divided [-] people, one with two horses, galloping in two directions, as suspicious soldiers, and scattered the pursuers.

The last hundred soldiers of the Lu family were divided into three teams by Lu Zhi.

One team went forward as the vanguard, the other team protected Lu Zhi and Liu Xie together as the guards and embroidered messengers, and the last team served as the fourth army to cover the retreat.

The team didn't waste too much time, Lu Zhi had already planned everything.

After the preparations were completed, the three cavalry troops did not hesitate, and each galloped towards the deep mountains along the tree-lined path.

Only less than a quarter of an hour later, a group of black armored cavalry rushed to the settlement where Liu Xie and others had stayed before.

There were many horseshoe prints on the ground, and they knew they were right.

Seeing the three forked roads, the leading general of the Xiliang Army did not hesitate. There were horseshoe marks on the three roads, and he had to chase them all.

The flag was waved, and the black armored cavalry split into three in an instant, and chased along the boulevard.

……

The mountain road is so narrow that there is no room for riding a horse at all, so everyone had to lead the horses slowly.

With the support of his family soldiers, Lu Zhi followed the team with difficulty.

While Liu Xie was lying on Wang Yue's shoulder, he still turned his head to check on Lu Zhi's situation from time to time.

Lu Zhi looked at Liu Xie, who was still young, and suddenly understood why Liu Hong didn't like Liu Bian, but wanted Liu Xie to be emperor more.

Liu Xie is only nine years old this year, but he already has the image of an emperor and the style of a master.

When his life was at stake, Liu Xie remained calm and did not panic. He did not behave like a nine-year-old child at all.

Liu Xie is the emperor of the Great Han, maybe he can really rejuvenate the Great Han...

Lu Zhi looked at Liu Xie and sighed helplessly in his heart.

If Liu Xie was a few years older, if Liu Hong could live a few more years, the situation would not be so out of hand.

"call out----"

An arrow suddenly exploded with a sound.

Lu Zhi's complexion couldn't help but change. This was a signal that the soldiers at the back of the palace were chasing after the Xiliang army and were engaging in battle.

The team couldn't help speeding up a bit, and after a while, another arrow exploded.

Everyone knew that the family soldiers at the back of the palace might have all been wiped out.

The mountain road was winding, and Lu Zhi turned his head and noticed that birds were startled not far behind him, and the pursuers of the Xiliang Army were not far away from them.

According to the current speed, they might be caught up before dusk.

A lot of sweat had already oozed from Lu Zhi's forehead. After walking so far all the way, his physical strength was about to reach its limit.

Dong Zhuo was determined to kill Liu Xie, and the Xiliang army who pursued him was the best of the best.

After walking for a while, we reached the highest point of the mountain path, and the mountain path began to descend from here.

It also indicates that they will go out of the eight passes of Luoyang and enter the Kanto.

Lu Zhi sat on a big rock with the support of his family soldiers, and everyone stopped at the same time. They kept going all the way, and they were indeed almost exhausted.

Lu Zhi looked around. This is the highest point of the mountain road. The mountain road up is quite steep, with a steep mountain wall on the right and a cliff on the left.

The mountain road is so narrow that it can only accommodate three or four people walking side by side.

Lu Zhi's face was pale, and cold sweat kept breaking out from his body.

"Wang Yue, take Your Majesty first and catch up with the vanguard. I will catch up later."

Wang Yue was shocked, but he didn't take a step. He could see that Lu Zhi already had the will to die.

"Walk."

Lu Zhi looked at Wang Yue calmly, and said lightly.

"Mr. Lu..."

Liu Xie stepped forward half a step, and shouted in a trembling voice, he also saw Lu Zhi's thoughts.

Lu Zhi got down from sitting on the boulder, bowed his hands, with a solemn face, and bowed to Liu Xie to the ground.

"Your Majesty may be young now, but Lu Zhi believes that His Majesty will be the master of a generation in the future, and he will be able to rejuvenate me once again!"

Wang Yue and other embroidered messengers bowed deeply to Lu Zhi, and then resolutely led Liu Xie down the mountain road.

At the peak of the mountain road, the sun shines through the leaves, and there are countless pieces of golden light on the ground.

This is actually the burial site that Lu Zhi had already chosen.

In fact, he could have escaped first, and only let the family soldiers pick up Liu Xie, and waited for Liu Xie in Kanto, but he didn't.

His time is numbered.

In the past few days, although Lu Zhi looked better than before, in fact, it was just a flashback.

Physicians are helpless.

A man should die in the wilderness, wrap his body in horse leather and bury his ears, how can he die on a sick bed!

Lu Zhi took the spear from the soldiers and stood up straight with all his strength.

At the bottom of the mountain road, the pursuers were gradually advancing, and Xuan Tingwei, who was wearing a black robe, was walking quickly.

Around Lu Zhi, a group of family soldiers silently raised their weapons, bows and arrows. They have followed Lu Zhi for many years and have gone through hundreds of battles.

No one is afraid, and it is their honor to die with the lord.

And for Lu Zhi, it was his honor to die for the emperor.

Died on the battlefield, where he died.

The Xiliang army of the brigade swarmed along the mountain road.

Lu Zhi was bathed in the sun, losing his strength and slowly returning to his body.

"Big Han Shangshu, Lu Zhi and Lu Zigan are here!"

Lu Zhi stepped forward and raised the spear in his hand.

A group of soldiers of the Xiliang Army on the mountain road stopped involuntarily under the influence of Lu Zhi.

Lu Zhi's eyes were covered with frost.

"Come on, let me see the capabilities of your Xiliang army!"

……

"Book of the Later Han Dynasty Biography Wu Yanshi Lu Zhao Lie Biography":
The wind and frost are different from the nature of vegetation, and the festival of chastity and goodness is seen in danger, so you can know Lu Gong's heart.

Husband and bee raised their arms, and thunder shook their ears. Despite the theories of Ben, Yu, Jing, and so on, there is no one who does not hesitate to seize the ordinary.

When Zhi Zhi draws a white sword under the strict pavilion, between chasing the emperor and Hejin, fighting with swords and going to kill, how can we plan first?
For loyalty and righteousness, a gentleman must follow suit when he makes mistakes, and he must follow suit if he is overwhelmed.
