Prancing Horse Xiliang

Chapter 66 Undercurrent
After the sun went down, the night slowly fell.

The guests dispersed, and the Luo Mansion, which had been noisy all day, gradually calmed down.

Luo Zheng called Li Meng and Wang Fang to the side hall and asked, "Is there anything unusual in the army recently?"

Li Meng thought for a while, and replied: "The last general was patrolling the camp yesterday, and he heard some soldiers talking in private, saying that someone seems to have asked about Yuzhou recently, but he didn't mention Niu Jin and Hu Mao, so he didn't pay attention. .”

Luo Zheng's eyes narrowed, and he asked Wang Fang, "What about you, can you find any changes?"

Wang Fang grinned and said, "The last general didn't hear anything."

Luo Zheng said in a deep voice: "Be careful, Li Ru, Niu Fu, and Li Jue are going to secretly plot to kill this general, so don't give them any clues, especially about Niu Jin and Hu Mao. take care."

The two said in a concentrated voice: "Don't worry, the general, the general will take care of it in the end."

Luo Zheng nodded, feeling more at ease with these two people.

Now the only ones in the army who know the real cause of death of Niu Jin and Hu Mao are these two.

The rest, even if they heard some rumors, either died in battle, or were secretly executed before Mobei entered the pass.

It is delusional for Niu Fu and others to find any evidence.

However, Li Ru was scheming and scheming, so he couldn't be careless.

After Li Meng and Wang Fang left, Luo Zheng got up and went to the West Wing.

It was night without words, and Diao Chan had a consummation, and cooked raw rice into cooked rice.

Luo Zheng fired three cannons in a row, almost shooting his soul out.

When eating the next morning, she realized that Gan Qian's face turned red for some reason.

After going out and walking around, the door of a room in the east wing was closed, and Wu Zhen hadn't gotten up yet.

Luo Zheng asked Gan Qian, "Didn't the little lady of the Wu family get up very early, why are you lazy today?"

Gan Qian rolled his eyes at him, blushed even more, and hurried into the east wing.

Luo Zheng was stunned, not knowing why, and felt that these women were a little inexplicable.

Xu Chu was puzzled and said: "Master, the voice was too loud last night, so someone stayed up in the middle of the night because of the noise."

"Uh, hey!"

Luo Zheng laughed dryly and finally understood what was going on.

I was happy for three days, and the whole day was either gathering people to drink or accepting banquets from others.

Although such a day is good, it cannot last long.

Luo Zheng has a strong sense of crisis in his heart, and it is really not the way to hang around in Luoyang like this.

The most ideal place to go is the governor of a state, or the prefect of a county, and then recruit troops to accumulate strength.But this time, leading troops out of the Kanto to burn, kill and loot, has already offended the Kanto tycoons to death, and they can't gain a foothold even if they go there.

There is no good place to go in the rest of the place.

Even if there is, it is not an easy task to be released as the local emperor.

Recently, the princes of the Kanto have been very stable, and nothing major has happened.

The only disharmony is that Yuan Shu took Sun Jian as a general and led [-] troops to attack Yangzhou in the south.

In history, Dong Zhuo’s defeat and relocation of the capital did not happen, and the majesty of the Han Dynasty for hundreds of years has not been completely lost. Although the princes of the world gradually became different, no one dared to do anything out of the ordinary.

The princes raised troops to challenge Dong, and they could still use the name of the Qing emperor.

But leading the army to attack others is blatantly contemptuous of the imperial court, which is treasonous.

The princes from all walks of life did not move, only Yuan Shu was an outlier who blatantly pierced this layer of window paper.

That is to say, the fourth generation and third father of the Yuan family, the family name is too prominent, and there are still a group of people who are willing to serve Yuan Shu.

Ku is that other princes have been replaced, and I am afraid they will have been drowned by saliva long ago.

sunset.

Luo Zheng flipped through the bamboo slips in the study, Gan Qian rubbed the ink, Diao Chan squeezed her shoulders and beat her back.

How can future generations see such a comfortable life.

Amid the hurried footsteps, Xu Chu hurried in.

Luo Zheng put down the bamboo slips, looked at Xu Chu with a strange face and said: "Zhongkang's face is different, is there something bad?"

Xu Chu said: "My lord, someone in the mansion went to the street today and heard a news. Some people in the market are spreading rumors that Niu Jin and Hu Mao were killed by the lord. I don't know who is spreading the rumors."

"what?"

Luo Zheng was taken aback, then frowned.

After waving their hands, Gan Qian and Diao Chan immediately got up and backed out.

Xu Chu asked, "Master, do you want to arrest those who spread rumors?"

Luo Zheng glared at him angrily, and said: "Aren't you covering your ears and stealing the bell, trying to cover it up! It's okay, but some people make rumors and want to pick apart people. If you want to arrest someone, don't you tell others that Hu Mao and Niu Jin are me killed."

"This……"

Xu Chu scratched his head, not knowing what to say.

Luo Zheng frowned and pondered, and said to himself: "Who would it be? Wang Yun is the most likely and has this motive. But Wang Yun's old guy is a smart person, even if he hates me to the bone, he wants to get rid of it most It is Dong Zhuo, not me, and provoking me at this time will not be of any benefit to his plan to kill Dong Zhuo, so it should not be that old bastard Wang Yun."

Xu Chu couldn't help but said, "Not Wang Yun, who else would sow discord?"

Luo Zhengdao: "There are a lot of people with this kind of motivation. Just think about who wants to see the civil strife in the Xiliang Army the most. When you see this general and Li Ru and others fall out, you will know who is spreading the rumors. But this scope is a bit wide , the ministers with ulterior motives and the generals of the Bingzhou Army, such as Lu Bu, are all suspicious targets. As for which one is really spreading the rumors, it is unknown."

Xu Chu was speechless again, so he had to retreat quickly.

Let's leave this kind of nerve-wracking matter to the lord!
I can only be responsible for violence or killing people, and using my brain is not my forte.

Luo got up and paced slowly in the room, while secretly guessing who was instigating dissension, while thinking about how that idiot Niu Jin would react when the news reached Niu Jin's ears, and how he would respond once the news broke his face.

Some things can only be done in the dark without sufficient evidence.

However, once you see the light, you will tear your face and put it in the light, and you will not care about it.

Luo Zheng can't help but be on guard, no one can guarantee whether Niu Fu, Li Jue and others will really come to kill him.

It is a serious crime to kill a general in the army without permission, even though Niu Fu was Dong Zhuo's son-in-law, he would not dare to do anything reckless.

But if this kind of rumor spreads to Dong Zhuo's ears and completely rips his face, even if there is no evidence, Niu Fu is likely to kill him directly for the sake of face.

After all, Niu Fu is Dong Zhuo's son-in-law, as long as he doesn't betray Dong Zhuo, no matter how serious the crime is, he can cover it up.

Luo Zheng thinks differently, if he changes himself, he really wants to tear his face, and it is really possible to kill him directly.

"Who is fanning the flames, don't let me know, or kill his whole family."

Luo Zheng frowned, and there was a killing intent in his chest.

Thinking with my toes, I also know that this fancier has bad intentions.

What's more terrible is that this kind of rumor is very lethal.

Although the Black Knife is difficult to guard against, it is not easy to see the light after all, so as long as you handle it carefully, it will not be a big problem.

But if you tear your face apart, it will force Niu Fu and others to take risks.

Luo Zheng is just a rookie among the generals in Xiliang, and his foundation is shallow. In Luoyang City, under Dong Zhuo's nose, once Niu Fu comes hard regardless of the consequences, it will be really difficult to deal with it.

Even if he could withstand it, Dong Zhuo would probably be displeased, and the gains outweigh the losses.

"Zhongkang!"

Luo Zheng walked around irritably for a while, and suddenly stopped and shouted outside the door.

"exist!"

Xu Chu came in at the sound and stood under the hall.

Luo Zhengdao: "You immediately sent people out of the city, summoned hundreds of soldiers, and arranged to live in the mansion. Recently, there is no order from me, and they are not allowed to leave the mansion. At the same time, let Zilong be on guard to prevent someone from sneaking. "

"As ordered."

Xu Chu agreed, and immediately went out of the mansion to arrange for people to gather his own soldiers.

When he was in Qiao County, the Xu family had a total of [-] townspeople who followed Xu Chu into the army and temporarily acted as Luo Zheng's personal soldiers.

After arriving in Luoyang, most of them were arranged in the military camp outside the city, and only 50 people followed Xu Chu to live in Luo Zheng's mansion.

Now that we have to guard against Niu Fu's dog jumping over the wall in a hurry, we must call in all the guards and guard them strictly, otherwise I'm afraid that if I want to sleep at night, I won't be able to sleep peacefully, and I will worry about the city guards coming in at any time.

Now Luoyang's [-] city guards are all in the hands of Niu Fu, so how can they not guard against them.
