I, Liu Bian, Sanxing Han Dynasty

Chapter 535 Finally waiting for you

Although he didn't know why the emperor said this, Jian Shuo quickly reacted. Sensing that something was wrong, he immediately bowed and said, "Your Majesty, I know that wherever your sword points, I will go."

After expressing his loyalty, Jian Shuo recalled the past: "I was entrusted with important tasks by the late emperor, and I have never slacked off. As for the Xiyuan Army, I was the commander of the army on behalf of the late emperor!"

Finally, now - "After Your Majesty ascended the throne, I received special treatment from the late emperor. How dare I not die to repay Your Majesty! Because Your Majesty's honor and disgrace are my honor and disgrace, why should I complain?"

Liu Bian looked at Jian Shuo, who was speaking earnestly, nodded slightly, and said, "Only when I see you old ministers like me can I recall the time I spent with the late emperor!"

When Jian Shuo heard this, although he didn't quite understand the reason, he roughly understood that he should have passed the test.

But what was this for? What was happening that he didn't know about?

Seeing that none of his generals said much after Jian Shuo finished speaking, Liu Bian did not stay any longer and prepared to leave.

Jian Shuo saw this and did not dare to try to keep him.

He was somewhat suspicious, wondering if it was because he submitted a memorial at this special time that caused the emperor to behave like this?
Thinking of this, after seeing off the emperor, Jian Shuo called the military commander Pan Yin and asked him, "You told me before that if the soldiers wrote to the emperor to ask for war, the emperor would be happy, but where is the joy now?"

Pan Yin immediately pleaded guilty and said, "I don't know the reason either. I am willing to let the captain punish me!"

Jian Shuo looked at Pan Yin, who was always obedient and sensible, and sighed in his heart. His anger also subsided a lot, and he said, "Go away. To be honest, I was confused for a while..."

"Thank you, Captain!" After Pan Yin left, he did not stay for long, but left the military camp directly.

On the other hand, as Liu Bian told Cai Yan, he really had no plan to go anywhere else.

However, Nangong is separated from Xiyuan by half of Luoyang City, and this distance cannot be avoided in any way.

As they were moving, the carriage suddenly stopped. Liu Bian was about to ask what was going on when he heard a woman's voice faintly coming from the front, which seemed to say something like "I have grievances and I want to present them to Your Majesty in person" and "It involves a civil unrest in Guandong" and so on.

Huang Xu reported to Liu Biantong: "Your Majesty, there is a woman blocking the road ahead. She said she is from Langya State and knows the mastermind of the rebellion in Guandong... But she does not trust us and refuses to explain to us."

"Your Majesty, I think this woman might be up to something at this time, so we must be on guard." Huang Xu reminded. Although he had never encountered this, his predecessors had told him that when the emperor was away, he had the habit of talking to common people. This woman came suddenly, so he dared not be careless.

"Go and ask her if she is willing to follow me into the palace."

Huang Xu took the order and left. Not long after, he replied, "Your Majesty, the woman only wants to speak out about her grievances first."

Liu Bian quickly gave a reply: "You bring her here in person."

"His Majesty……"

"It doesn't matter."

Huang Xu had no choice but to accept the order and leave.

This time, because he was going to the army, he was not accompanied by a palace maid, but even so, Huang Xu did not give up the idea of ​​searching her body. The woman was very beautiful and had a resolute expression when facing the search, but even so, Huang Xu was not moved at all. He only said when searching her himself: "Although this may be a loss of your reputation, it involves the safety of His Majesty, so I have to do this. If you are really wronged, I, Huang Xu, as a real man, will take responsibility!"

Liu Qi, who was standing by, listened and added, "Remember, his last name is Huang Xu, and he is still single. Don't pick the wrong person."

After a while, Huang Xu did not find anything wrong and immediately brought the woman to Liu Bian's carriage.

"What grievances have you suffered? Tell me one by one." Liu Bian asked while sitting in the carriage.

But after the woman approached Liu Bian, she first bowed to the ground, addressed him as "Your Majesty", and then said, "Your Majesty, do you know who helped Xu You escape from Qingzhou? It was Nanyang Yinde, who was the Prime Minister of Langya at the time."

"My father accidentally learned about this, but was slandered and died by Yin De."

"Although Yin De is no longer the Prime Minister of Langya during the Langya Incident this year, his mark is still there... In addition to him, there are two other court officials from Langya who also participated in this incident..."

As she spoke, the woman got closer and closer to the carriage, and the emperor pretended to listen attentively.

"Wait!" Just as Huang Xu realized something was wrong and raised his hand to remind her, the woman suddenly pulled out the hairpin on her head.

There was no doubt that her movements were honed through thousands of trials and tribulations. Even Huang Xu and Liu Qi, who had been staring at her, could not keep up with her speed for a while. But someone did.

The next moment, a hand grabbed the woman's arm and held it firmly.

The next second, Huang Xu, Liu Qi and a group of Yulin Lang captured him.

When Liu Bian saw this scene, he was not panicked at all. He even felt relieved.

Finally waiting for you.

To this day, Liu Bian still hasn't forgotten the words Yuan Ji left for Zhang Rang before he left.

He finally understood what it felt like to have a bomb hidden next to him that could explode at any time but not know where it was.

"Wenyuan." Liu Bian gently called the name of his last guard, who continued to drive the carriage for Liu Bian after capturing the assassin.

"What's your majesty's order?"

"Go back to the palace! Also, pass the order down that what happened here must not be leaked to the harem." Although this can only delay time for a while, it's better to delay it for a while.

"Yes!" Zhang Liao responded and the carriage continued.

The road here had already been cleared, so there was no risk of people gathering to watch.

Not long after, Qian Zhao came to report, talking about the movements of the remaining officers in the Xiyuan Army after Liu Bian left - "Military Sima Pan Yin?"

"Let's take him down first!"

……

While Luoyang was busy in full swing, the soldiers in Guandong were also not idle.

In Runan County, even though Tian Feng had extraordinary abilities, the population of the counties and towns here was still too large, and there were even more powerful families and wealthy people. Therefore, although Tian Feng ensured that there was no large-scale civil unrest in Runan, there were still small-scale civil uprisings that occupied the counties and towns.

On this day, Lu Bu arrived with his troops.

After arriving in Runan, he finally got the opportunity to lead the troops alone.

Thinking of how Huang Zhong had repeatedly emphasized before leaving not to kill innocent people, Lu Bu felt a little annoyed.

He is here to achieve great things!

However, facing the rebels who had already captured the county and were defending it, Lu Bu still sighed and did not choose to attack the city directly. Instead, he rode to the top of the city alone with his bow and arrows and weapons and shouted: "I am Lu Bu, and I am ordered to fight the rebels. Don't blame me for not giving you a chance... Send ten of the bravest to fight me. If you win, I will not attack the city for ten days. If you lose, you will open the city and surrender. How about this?"

After shouting three times, seeing that there seemed to be no response from above, Lu Bu cursed: "You have the guts to rebel, but not the guts to fight? The people of Runan are nothing but this!"

This scolding was immediately responded to by someone: "Don't underestimate us. I have never ridden a horse. What if you run away after I get off?"

Lu Bu did not hesitate and dismounted and asked someone to take the horse back.

Not long after, a man was lowered from the city wall in a bamboo basket.

Lu Bu's heart moved. He didn't expect that he could really trick people out. Then he thought that maybe he could break the city without bloodshed today.

But seeing that only one person came, Lu Bu felt a little dissatisfied. Was this looking down on him?
He immediately shouted: "I want to fight ten, even without horses it's still ten!"

"Could it be that among all of you Runan people there is only one man?"

After shouting this, Lu Bu felt that he was very clever.
