Chapter 195 The Emperor: Uncle, please stop talking. Awu will be unhappy if he knows.

Xuchang!

Deep inside the house,

"Then, where is Kong Ming? Where is Kong Ming?!"

Liu Xuande's voice was trembling...

It doesn't matter whether Jiangdong is broken or Sun Quan lands.

In Liu Bei's heart, all these combined are not as important as Kong Ming alone.

Since he got Zhuge Liang, he was like a fish in water, and Kong Ming seemed to be his destined man.

After going through so many things, only Kong Ming remained loyal to him. Even though everyone else had abandoned him, Zhuge Liang was still willing to support him...

If something happened to Kong Ming, his great cause would be completely ruined!
Is there another Mr. Wolong in this world who is willing to assist Liu Xuande?

Fa Zheng naturally knew the position of Zhuge Liang in Liu Bei's heart. He sighed softly: "According to the information I have received, Kong Ming's life is at least safe at the moment..."

"I heard that after the King of Chu landed in Jianye, he captured Zhuge Liang and sent him to Xiling as a prisoner."

Kong Ming was captured by that rebellious son!
military adviser,

My military advisor!

Liu Xuande felt as if he had been struck hard in the heart, and he stood there in despair...

When the military advisor was in the thatched cottage, he had planned a strategy for him to divide the world into three parts. Over the years, he had followed the military advisor's plan and gradually established a firm foothold in southern Jing.

However, Liu Wu's rebellious son always opposed him, not only did the military advisor's plan of "crossing Jing and Yi" suffer repeated setbacks, but now, even the military advisor was captured by Liu Wu...

"Ah~" Fa Zheng sighed again and shook his head helplessly: "What's the point of saying this now? I can take Lord Xuande to Xichuan, but now the emperor's uncle is imprisoned here by heavy troops, and I can't do anything."

Fa Zheng was the envoy of Xichuan to Xuchang. If Liu Xuande was still free, when he returned to Yizhou, he only needed to stuff Liu Bei into the envoy team and directly leave Xuchang, enter Jiangling, and enter Xichuan openly.

But now the mansion is heavily guarded, and he has done his best just to get in to see Uncle Liu, let alone dream of taking Liu Bei away.

"No, there is another way!" Liu Bei said in a low voice.

When he looked up again, the confusion in his eyes had completely disappeared. Hadn't he encountered enough setbacks in his life?

But every time I didn’t grit my teeth and get through it.
The military advisor is in Xiling.
My second and third brothers are also in Xiling.
Now, as long as I can get out of Xuchang, there will always be a way to rescue them from Liu Wu!

"Xiaozhi!" Fa Zheng, who was still in a daze, was awakened by Liu Wu pulling his arm: "Please visit Jian Xianhe, Zhao Zilong, and Xu Yuanzhi on my behalf..."

……

The night is dark,

A curfew has been imposed in Xuchang city.

Wow! ~
Only in the deep mansion near the Prime Minister's Residence, there were still a large number of guards patrolling and moving around, alert to any disturbance around them.

The people living in this mansion are those whom Prime Minister Cao values ​​very much. If they dare to be negligent in the slightest, the Prime Minister will not forgive them!
Tap tap tap~
Rumble, rumble~
In the distance, there were sounds of carriages and horses and a large number of footsteps.

"who!"

"He who comes is stopped!"

hum! ~
The bow is strung and the sword is unsheathed!

The cold arrow was aimed at the darkness ahead.

Spears and swords flashing with cold light gathered into a forest, protected by layers of large shields.

The soldiers outside the mansion were facing a powerful enemy!

Rumble, rumble~
The sound of carriages and horses became clearer and clearer.

Suddenly, there was a large light ahead, piercing the darkness.

Dozens of maids, holding lanterns, guarded the two sides of the carriage.

More than a hundred cavalrymen led the way in front, wearing majestic weapons and heavy armor.

Walking at the front of the hundred-odd riders were two scholars?

Several soldiers outside the mansion looked at the two scholars with a look of surprise on their faces...

These two people are familiar faces in Xuchang City. One of them is Xu Shu, Xu Yuanzhi, who has never offered any strategy since he joined Prime Minister Cao.

The other person turned out to be the newly promoted Imperial Censor, Jian Yong, Jian Xianhe? !
How did they get here?

Tap tap tap~
Xu Shu and Jian Yong walked straight towards the mansion without stopping.

"Mr. Yuanzhi, Sir Jian!" The bearded general in the lead, holding a long sword, stopped them and said, "The prisoner here is Prime Minister Cao's wanted criminal. Please don't make things difficult for me, Sirs."

The two men showed up without saying a word, but how could the bearded captain not see the other party's intentions?
If it were someone else, the bearded captain would have ordered a hail of arrows long ago.

But one of these two was highly valued by Prime Minister Cao, and the other was a close confidant of His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu. He could not afford to offend either of them and could only persuade them with kind words.

Jian Yong ignored the other party's words and said directly: "Open the door and let the people inside out."

The bearded general's expression also turned cold. He stretched out his hand and said, "You can release him, but please bring Prime Minister Cao's order. If you have an order, I will do it. If you don't have an order..."

He pointed at the densely packed soldiers behind him and said, "Lord Jian, you can lead the troops to charge and step over the corpses of our brothers."

boom! ~
As soon as the words fell, the soldiers behind the general rushed forward.

Spears, swords and knives were densely packed towards the outside of the mansion.

The sharp blade, emitting cold air, was like a dense forest, ready to swallow up Jian Yong and his group at any time.

"Without the Prime Minister's written order, can I give his oral order?" A calm voice suddenly came from the carriage behind Jian Yong.

I?
As the situation became tense, all the captains were stunned for a moment.

An attendant lifted the pearl curtain on the carriage, and a figure wearing the twelve-chapter emperor's robe slowly appeared in front of everyone. That was...

Son of Heaven?!
The emperor is coming? ! !

All the captains and lieutenants guarding outside the palace were dumbfounded and felt dizzy.

The bearded general rubbed his eyes subconsciously and looked at the young, graceful figure sitting on the carriage...

That’s right, it’s the Son of Heaven!
They had all been on duty in the imperial palace under the orders of the prime minister, or in other words, had taken turns monitoring the emperor, and they would never admit their mistakes.

"I, your humble servant, would like to greet your Majesty!"

wow~
All the soldiers did not dare to hesitate, they paid homage with great ceremony and knelt down on the ground in a black mass.

Liu Xie closed his eyes slightly: "Open the door and let the person out."

The emperor's voice was not loud, but it was loud enough for the officers kneeling on the ground to hear clearly.

But just these few words made beads of sweat appear on the foreheads of the captains...

As soon as the emperor arrived in Xuchang, Prime Minister Cao used him to control the princes.

Later, when the incident of the Secret Letter came to light, Prime Minister Cao implicated many Han officials and even strangled Concubine Dong, who was pregnant with the emperor, in front of the emperor!

The emperor at that time was a complete puppet and had no dignity at all.

But now the situation has changed...

Since that day, Liu Wu and Sun Quan entered the capital.
Since that day, there was a melee in Xuchang City.
Since that day, the emperor held a sharp knife and stabbed the prime minister in the back.
From that day on, the three kings of Wei, Chu and Wu were enthroned, and everything changed!
The prime minister is still the prime minister who holds the power of the court, but the emperor is no longer the outright puppet emperor.

Prime Minister Cao can still ignore the emperor's words, but he can no longer ignore the emperor or manipulate him like a puppet.

Even Prime Minister Cao treated the emperor like this, so these murderous men would never dare to look down on the emperor as they did in the past.

But they have to release the people in this house...

The person trapped inside is Liu Xuande, the enemy that Prime Minister Cao wants so badly that he wants to skin and tear his bones apart!

If they let Liu Bei go, how could they and their people have a good ending when Prime Minister Cao returns from the expedition? But if they don't let him go, the emperor is right in front of them...

The bearded lieutenant subconsciously looked towards the carriage.

The emperor sat upright in his chariot, not saying a word.

On one side of the carriage, there was a general wearing a white robe, white armor, and riding a white dragon horse. He was holding a shiny silver spear and had a green sword on his waist. It was Zhao Zilong of Changshan!
The deputy general's heart skipped a beat and sweat dripped down his forehead. If Zhao Zilong led the hundred or so cavalrymen to break into the mansion, how could they stop them?

Xu Shu, who had been silent the whole time, spoke up at this moment: "Open the door. You are ordered by His Majesty to open the door tonight. When the Prime Minister returns, you will report this matter to him truthfully."

Things have come to this point and I no longer have any choice. The emperor is here in person, and he has a powerful general like Zhao Zilong accompanying him. What else can I do?
The bearded lieutenant bit his teeth, stood up and raised his hand: "Open the door!"

crunch~
The door was opened.
After a moment, a figure slowly stepped out of the gate.

Liu Bei looked at the familiar young face on the carriage outside the door, his eyes full of surprise and excitement...

He thought that Jian Yong, Zhao Yun and others would use various methods to save him, but he didn't expect that they would actually invite the emperor?
really,

After all, they still miss the old relationship.
They still recognized their former master.

Although the emperor was bewitched by Liu Wu, the evil son, he still recognized him as his uncle!

Liu Bei took a deep breath, straightened his clothes, and was about to pay homage to the emperor: "I am the Left General of Yuzhou..."

Xilulu! ~
The horses pulling the carriage turned slowly and carried the emperor away from the mansion, without giving Liu Xuande any chance to pay his respects.

Liu Bei stood there in a daze.

Jian Yong bowed to Liu Bei, expressionless, "Envoy Liu, please follow us."

Xu Shu said nothing, but just bowed lightly.

Liu Bei felt depressed and could only force a smile: "Okay, okay, thank you for your help."

Rumble, rumble~
Liu Bei sat in the emperor's carriage and headed towards the gate of Xuchang.

Outside the mansion, looking at Liu Xuande who was already far away, a captain looked at the bearded general with a worried look on his face: "General, are we just going to let Liu Xuande go like this?"

The deputy general shook his head: "The emperor is here in person, forcing him to do so. With Zhao Zilong accompanying him, Liu Xuande cannot be trapped..."

"Tonight's matter is beyond our ability to decide. Report it to the Prime Minister immediately."

……

Outside Xuchang City,

"Your Majesty!" In front of the emperor's chariot, Uncle Liu knelt on the ground, his voice choked with sobs: "I have fought with Cao Cao for many years, but apart from the Battle of Red Cliff, I have never made any achievements."

"Now you have alarmed the emperor and forced your majesty to personally rescue me from a dangerous place! How can I be virtuous and capable..."

Liu Xuande knelt on the ground, grateful to the emperor for saving his life.

On the carriage, Liu Xie was full of impatience. He didn't want to rescue Liu Bei tonight, but Jian Yong and Zhao Yun begged him to do so.

Now, these two men, one civil and one military, are Liu Xie's greatest reliance in the city of Xuchang. He cannot offend these two people, so he can only leave the palace overnight.

"Please rest assured, Your Majesty, I will definitely..."

"Uncle Liu!" Liu Xie interrupted Liu Bei's gratitude impatiently and looked at him coldly: "I still remember the matter of the secret decree."

"At that time, Uncle Liu lived near Cao Cao's residence, and he still had the courage to conspire with Dong Cheng and others to kill Cao Cao! Who would have thought that now, you are thousands of miles away from Cao Mengde, but you took the initiative to go to Xuchang and surrender to Cao Cao..."

The emperor's blatant sarcasm instantly made Liu Xuande's face turn red, as if he had been slapped in the face.

He hurriedly explained: "Your Majesty, I am not surrendering..."

"Alright." Liu Xie was too lazy to listen to Liu Bei's explanation: "Don't say anything. If Awu knew what happened tonight, he would be unhappy. Let's go, let's go quickly."

"I'm afraid Wu will misunderstand..."
