Chapter 281 The ignition of fire
If Luo Qi did collude with Dong Zhuo, it was obviously not a premeditation. If he wanted to defect to Dong Zhuo from the beginning, there would be no reason to come and discuss cooperation with the Zhen family.
It turns out that I was forced too quickly, so I changed my mind temporarily?
In vain, Luo Qi was really a hopeless fool who had worked hard to establish in Hebei!
The question now is, what will we do next?
If Yuan Shao is asked to evacuate Luoyang now, he will definitely not agree. Moreover, he had tried his best to instigate the other party to come, but his attitude suddenly turned around and he would definitely not get a good impression. The favor he expected was to fail, and the next thing he would take over Luoyang's reconstruction was even more impossible to talk about.
If Yuan Shao's march is not stopped, once he accidentally falls into the trap, the Zhen family will not be able to get rid of suspicion and will only suffer a catastrophe.
No matter how you choose, you can't find a way out!
Huang Yueying was quite discouraged and looked up at the sky above Luoyang.
The fire has not yet been lit.
Who is it waiting for?
Could it be... Yuan Shao?
Luoyang, prison.
Roqi rode a fast horse and rushed to the prison gate and said loudly: "The Prime Minister is going to prepare for the city movement. The relatives of the Kwantung Army must be taken away together. You can raise them quickly. We have to take them away!"
The jailers raised their heads in surprise: "But the order we received..."
Roqi showed off the lieutenant's plaque and said arrogantly: "The lieutenant's plaque is here, how dare you delay it?"
The jailer hesitated: "But since you are a lieutenant, why are you wearing ordinary people's clothes? Even the soldiers behind you are not even equipped with military uniforms..."
Roqi sneered: "The Prime Minister must beware of the Kanto coalition forces taking advantage of the situation, so he specially ordered us to pretend to be the people and sneak into the crowds of people transferred to avoid being taken hostages by the other party in the chaos. What do you know!"
The prison guard no longer doubted and hurriedly said, "Please wait for a moment, and we will raise them now."
Luo Qi waved his hand and said, "You are quick to avoid wasting our time. Remember that this time we are mainly hostages from the Sun family in Jiangdong, as well as the Yuan family... Yuan Wei."
The prison guard bowed and said, "I understand."
Roqi and Sun Shangxiang behind him looked at each other, with a smile in his eyes.
Zhen Mi’s residence, inner courtyard.
Huang Yueying hurried into the room and said, "Zhen Mi, are you here?"
Zhen Mi went out to greet her: "What's wrong?"
Huang Yueying sighed: "My layout can no longer be maintained, we can only find another way out."
Zhen Mi raised her eyebrows and said, "You mean...that fire that has not yet been lit?"
Huang Yueying nodded and said, "If I guess correctly, this fire will not burn Luoyang, but Yuan Shao... That Luo Qi has defected to Dong Zhuo!"
Zhen Mi said in surprise: "Why did he do this?"
Huang Yueying sighed: "Although this trap was created by him, it was our Zhen family who led Yuan Shao into Luoyang. In the future, the Yuan family will be responsible for this matter. As long as the Zhen family is eradicated, Luo Qi will not have to be afraid that we will use the handle to threaten him!"
Zhen Mi said in surprise: "The foundation of the Guo family is also in Hebei. Do he want to give up completely?"
Huang Yueying gritted her teeth and said, "That's why I said he is a great fool. He doesn't know how to make choices about evaluating interests, but instead makes us miscalculate in one step and lose everything!"
Zhen Mi panicked: "What should we do now?"
Huang Yueying said: "Unless we can rescue Yuan Shao from the trap, there is no way to defend himself. But since Dong Zhuo was prepared, how easy is it to rescue Yuan Shao?"
Zhen Mi sighed, "Are you really... nothing to do now?"
Huang Yueying burst into tears and said, "I'm sorry Zhen Mi. I really can't calculate that Roqi will do this. I thought my layout was undefeated, but I didn't expect that it was actually so flawed!"
Zhen Mi shook her head and said, "I won't blame you, I will never blame you."
They were talking when they suddenly heard the door curtain ringing. Han Yue, with an indifferent expression, stepped forward and said lightly: "Actually, you don't have to be so nervous. My young master has not abandoned his cooperation with you."
Zhen Mi raised her eyebrows and said, "...it's you!"
Huang Yueying frowned and said, "Since your young master has defected to Dong Zhuo, then you are here to be a lobbyist... Want to bring our Zhen family into Dong Zhuo's camp?"
Han Yue said lightly: "My young master did not defect to Dong Zhuo, all this is just a strategy."
Huang Yueying snorted coldly: "Absurd!"
Huang Yueying said: "Is there anything wrong with it?"
Huang Yueying said coldly: "You have brought Yuan Shao into the trap, which is clearly a proof of your resignation to Dong Zhuo. Do you want to say that you will... rescue Yuan Shao?"
Han Yue nodded and said, "That's exactly what it is."
Huang Yueying was stunned and realized something vaguely: "But since Yuan Shao has been in Dong Zhuo's urn, how easy is it to get out?"
Han Yue smiled and said, "It is certainly difficult under normal circumstances, but we have Dong Zhuo's personal cooperation."
Huang Yueying said in surprise: "How is this possible?"
Han Yue said lightly: "Under the planning of my young master, nothing is impossible. I have avoided Li Ru's eyes and agreed on another action plan with Dong Zhuo. This is the real plan of my young master, and the strongest layout to control all possibilities."
Huang Yueying raised her eyebrows and said, "Why does Dong Zhuo trust him so much?"
Han Yue said lightly: "Dong Zhuo is willing to believe in my young master. The key is that this plan does not risk him at all. Unfortunately, because we want to deepen his trust, we also suggested to him the policy of exploring the Wangling to enrich military funds and expand the strength of the Xiliang Army."
Huang Yueying pondered for a moment and sighed: "So now both of you and me are unable to bear the responsibility of rebuilding Luoyang alone, so they can only choose to cooperate, right?"
Han Yue nodded and said, "It's just this time that the Zhen family must bow their heads down."
Huang Yueying smiled bitterly and said, "If what you said is true, then when Yuan Shao is rescued by you, Luo Qi will gain his extreme trust and thus gain the right to speak for the Zhen family. Now you are our only hope, this is the bargaining chip for you to come here to negotiate, right?"
Han Yue said lightly: "The question now is whether you will use your so-called handle to deal with us after we have waived the Zhen family."
Huang Yueying said helplessly: "So...what do you have any requirements?"
Luoyang, in the city.
Gao Lan reported: "Lord, I'll go to the Malay newspaper. When Dong Zhuo evacuated, he seemed to leave the previously deposed King Hongnong in the palace without taking it away..."
Yuan Shao raised his eyebrows and said, "Ju Su, what do you think?"
Ju Su said: "If Dong Zhuo kidnapped the young emperor, he would be able to command the princes in the future, but now he only takes away Liu Xie, whom he established. If we can re-establish Liu Xie as the emperor, we can have the capital to compete with Dong Zhuo, but how could pie fall out of thin air in the sky? Moreover, there are too few defenders in the city we have encountered. I suspect that this is probably a trap, and there must be murderous intentions in the palace."
