subvert the late Tang Dynasty

But Liu Yunzhang thought that the assassin was talking about him, so he couldn't help but smiled wryly and said, "Did you assassinate the old man today, did you receive instructions from Tian Lingzi, the envoy of the Tenth Army of the Shence Camp?"

The assassin was taken aback, opened his mouth, didn't speak, and thought: "Is this old guy confused? Why did Tian Lingzi send someone to kill him?" He couldn't figure it out for a while, so he didn't have an answer.

Seeing that the assassin didn't answer, Liu Yunzhang thought he was acquiescing, and sighed: "Tian Lingzi controlled the government to the point that the world was in chaos, but he didn't know how to repent. He also set up spies in every town, and all of them were master assassins. Anyone who does not obey Tian Lingzi's command will be assassinated immediately."

Speaking of this, Liu Yunzhang smiled sadly, and said: "This old man thinks that his government is clean and honest, and he has never done anything to be sorry for the court and the people. Today, Huang Chao's envoy came to surrender. Hehe, it is this General Zhu. I have nothing to agree to. Meaning, I didn’t expect that the court that I have always been loyal to would send someone to kill me, and what’s even more ironic is that the person who rescued me turned out to be the enemy General Zhu! Hahaha..."

Although he was smiling, turbid tears flowed from his eyes, flowing down the wrinkles on his face, which made people feel sad.After Liu Yunzhang laughed out loud, he coughed violently.

Only then did the assassin know that Liu Yunzhang had misunderstood him, and he also knew that Zhu Wen was here to surrender Liu Yunzhang, and he also thought about why Zhu Wen sacrificed his life to save Liu Yunzhang's life just now.Thinking of this, he had to doubt the purpose of Lin Yan's sending him here. "Why? Why did General Lin want me to assassinate Liu Yunzhang at this time? Doesn't he know that not only will General Zhu's surrender plan fail, but General Zhu's life may also be at risk?"

Seeing the sudden reversal of the situation, Zhu Wen didn't care who the assassin was, and took the opportunity to say: "Master Liu, don't get too angry, you are old, and being too emotional is not good for your health, it's important to take care of your health now. "

Liu Yunzhang smiled wryly and said: "My old bone, let me die if I die. Living is meaningless. I can't be loyal to the court, and I can't save the people of Luoyang. What's the use of living?" .

Ding Hui waited for the general to grab him and tried to persuade him.

Zhu Wenwen and Xu Huaiyu looked at each other, and they smiled wryly at each other. Who would have thought that things would develop into what they are now?

The assassin looked at all this coldly, suddenly rolled his eyes, and shouted: "Liu Yunzhang, the court treats you well, and you actually collude with bandits and want to hand over Dongdu to the thieves, hum, I have already collude with you just now!" Flying pigeons to send letters about the rebel army to Chang'an, you just wait for your family to be wiped out! You are still here pretending to die! If you really want to die, why don't you find a place where no one is there to die! There are so many people watching here Now, why would you say you’re going to die? Isn’t that just a hypocrisy? Haha…”

Ding Hui and other generals glared at the assassin, some had already cursed, and some even said indignantly, "Master Liu is loyal to the country and sympathetic to the people. Such a good official is treated like this by the imperial court. Let's just turn against him and see if Tian Lingzi is right?" You can really cover the sky with one hand!"

"Yes, if it's reversed, it's reversed. Such a court, don't mind it!"

"Yes, I heard that King Huang is very sympathetic to the people. This General Zhu is also an outstanding man, not an evil person. Let's just vote for King Huang."

"Yes, let's kill Tian Lingzi's lackey right now, cut him up and take him out to feed the dogs..."

……

Ding Hui looked at his enraged colleagues, his heart was filled with excitement and turbulent waves. Since he was a child, he was educated to "learn literary and martial arts and sell them to the emperor's family." But is such an unreasonable court still worthy of his loyalty?

At this time, two people had already walked up to the assassin with their knives in hand. The assassin had no regrets at this time, and nodded slightly to Zhu Wen inadvertently, closing his eyes and waiting to die.

Just when the knife was about to fall, Liu Yunzhang sighed and said: "Let him go, let him go back and tell Tian Lingzi that I, Liu Yunzhang, can only be disloyal to the court because of the hundreds of thousands of people in Luoyang City. I, the old man, have to bear the blame alone, the emperor wants to punish the old man, he is willing to bear it, but Tian Lingzi, an old dog, has no right to punish and humiliate the old man... that's fine, you go!"

How could the assassin have thought that Liu Yunzhang would let him go, let alone a misunderstanding by mistake made Liu Yunzhang decide to surrender to the rebel army.He barely got up, resisting the pain of dislocating his arms, and left slowly.But he had a thought in his mind, "I must ask Lin Yan for clarification. What is the purpose of Lin Yan sending him to assassinate Liu Yunzhang at this time! I am a martial artist, so it's fine if I die. Wouldn’t General Zhu ruin the big deal by saying that he would drop the big plan?”

Liu Yunzhang turned to Zhu Wen and said, "General Zhu, this old man owes you a life. I can't repay you. I can only hand over Luoyang City as a reward. I hope General Zhu can keep his promise and don't presumptuously abuse the people in the city." Liu Yunzhang actually knelt down with a "plop", and said: "This old man begs General Zhu for mercy on behalf of the hundreds of thousands of people in the city, treat the people kindly, don't commit suicide and murder recklessly, this will be of great benefit to both ourselves and others."

Zhu Wen hurriedly helped Liu Yunzhang up with both hands, but he didn't want to affect the wound on his back. Cold sweat dripped down his painful forehead, but he still helped the elderly Liu Yunzhang up.

Zhu Wen said: "Master Liu, why is this? King Huang's army was originally for the common people in the world, and he killed rich and unkind landlords and bullies, as well as corrupt officials who corrupted the law and fished the common people. That's why King Huang's army went wherever the people went. They responded one after another, and the reason why corrupt officials and tyrants fled away one after another. Huang Wang ordered his juniors to come to Luoyang to meet Mr. Liu was also because Mr. Liu was an upright and upright official, and was deeply loved by the people. If Mr. Liu was a corrupt person who broke the law, Huang Wang's army would have Soldiers are approaching the city."

Liu Yunzhang smiled wryly and said: "Why don't you know this? It's just that this old man has been an official in the Tang Dynasty for decades. Although many opinions are not used by the court, the Tang Dynasty treats the old man well. How can the old man bear to betray him? But the old man also Admitting that I have been loyal to the Tang Dynasty all my life, without any second thoughts, and the sun can be learned from the sun, how could the imperial court send someone to assassinate the old man, wouldn't it be chilling."

Liu Yunzhang paused, sighed and said: "It's getting late, I won't keep General Zhu, please go back and report to King Huang, just say that I, Liu Yunzhang, will be waiting for you outside the Dingding Gate at noon tomorrow!"

Hearing these words, Zhu Wen finally breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly cupped his fists and said, "Then I will take my leave and report back to King Huang, and let King Huang tell the whole army that I will never kill a single person after entering the city. Guaranteed by the superior."

Liu Yunzhang smiled sadly: "I hope so..." He turned around slowly, facing Luoshui shrouded in twilight, filled with emotion in his heart.He took a deep breath, calmed himself down a bit, and said, "Lieutenant Ding, please send General Zhu out of the city for me."

Ding Hui bowed and agreed, then turned to Zhu Wen and said, "General Zhu, please!"

Zhu Wen had a good impression of Ding Hui, and now Zhu Wen and Ding Hui walked out of the gazebo side by side, got on their horses, and went south along the Tianjin Bridge, across the long Tianjie Street, to Dingding Gate.

Huang Ying, who was outside the city, saw that it was getting late, and she was extremely anxious, but there was no movement in the city, and she could only run around in a hurry outside the city.

One of Zhu Wen's personal guard cavalry said: "Miss, you have turned around [-] times, don't you feel dizzy?"

Huang Ying said angrily: "Shut up, boy! How can it be your turn to meddle in my business?"

The cavalryman hurriedly shut up, unexpectedly, this Miss Huang, who usually likes to joke, seemed to have eaten gunpowder today.

Huang Ying was worried about Zhu Wen's safety, how could she be in the mood to joke with these little soldiers?She remembered Zhu Wen's words before leaving: "If I don't leave the city after dark, you should take them back to the camp and report to King Huang before making a decision."

She looked up at the gradually darkening sky, feeling unspeakable fear in her heart, "Did something happen to third brother? Why hasn't he left the city yet? What should I do? Should I go back and report to my father, or wait? "

She then thought: "But in case something happens to him, what should I do? I am already his person, but I don't even have a title. If there is something wrong with him, what should I do?" ?”

She rode the horse and continued to circle in a small area, her heart was extremely chaotic, she had never been so worried about Zhu Wen like now, even when Zhu Wen ambushed Gao Pian in the Yangtze River, she was not so worried now.

After all, at that time, we dispatched a large number of masters, including our second senior brother Yang Xingmi, and Huang Kui and Huang Siye, two master-level masters.This time it was different, Xu Huaiyu was the only one beside him, but there were at least ten thousand soldiers in the city.As long as there is any conflict between the two sides, no matter how powerful the two of them are, it is impossible to retreat completely.

How can this not worry her?

While waiting, she felt that the time passed extremely slowly. It seemed to her that several hours had passed for just a cup of tea. Finally, she couldn't bear it anymore and wanted to ask the situation inside the city.

She gritted her teeth, clamped the horse's belly, and rushed towards Dingding Gate.

The fifty cavalrymen behind her hurriedly said: "Miss, be careful, it's dangerous!" Seeing that Huang Ying acted as if she had never heard of it, they had no choice but to follow one by one.

At this moment, the suspension bridge of Dingdingmen slowly fell, and the heavy city gate opened slowly with a loud "creaking" noise. At the same time, it caught Huang Ying's eyes.But what she really saw seemed to be Zhu Wen alone. This is where the magic of love lies. Sometimes love can make people deliberately forget or ignore anything that has nothing to do with the lover.

Huang Ying shouted in surprise: "Third brother!" She galloped up to meet him, her face was full of joy, and the worry on her face just now disappeared without a trace.
