In terms of courage, among the eight hundred Nangong Guards, Gao Shun must rank below Ding Chen and Zhang Xiu.

But if it comes to training soldiers... Although Zhang Xiu looked disdainful, he admired Gao Shun very much in his heart.

He had talked to Gao Shun several times, of course, more of which were for show-off.

And what about Gao Shun?

In addition to being with Ding Chen, he would seem silent most of the time and not like words.

But even so, every time Gao Shun spoke, Zhang Xiu was convinced.

"Do you really need to practice?"

Zhang Xiu hesitated a little.

"You are interesting. You are bored first. Now that you have found something for you, you hesitate and are not at all happy."

"No, I'm worried that others have any opinions."

"Are you just following me? Or are you afraid of hard work, unwilling to practice, or are you not allowed to order others?"

When Zhang Xiu heard this, he was immediately angry!

"But these words are interesting, I can't command them?

I followed my father to join the army and fought countless times. Which one in the Liangzhou army was dissatisfied? It was a joke. Can I still command them?

OK, that's it, I'll participate.

But as the Nangong Guardian Order, you should be the first to lead and you must also participate."

When Ding Chen heard this, he couldn't help laughing.

He shrugged his shoulders and said in a deep voice: "If you participate, participate...We can also compete. If you lose, please invite a Jiankou sheep. How about it?"

"Hmph, I'll lose to you?"

Zhang Xiu looked confident and turned around and prepared to leave.

"Then I'll go and tell them that you are on duty now and I'll take over when dawn."

"good!"

Zhang Xiu turned around and left, but after walking two steps, he stopped again, turned around and looked at Ding Chen and said, "By the way, what should we call this group of people? Is it called Nangong Guard Camp? Hehe, it doesn't sound very beautiful."

"Stamper!"

"Um?"

"In "Records of the Grand Historian" written by Taishi Gong, there is a saying that 'a hero is in the army, first attacking the city, but he will siege the enemy, kill the general and snatch the flag'. Lao Shizi's Nangong Guard Camp is so unpleasant. Unless you are the Nangong Guard all your life, it is better to name it 'Crack Battle'."

Zhang Xiu, silent!

After a while, he looked at Ding Chen and said viciously: "Is it amazing to read too much? If you get stuck in the formation, you will get stuck in the formation!"

After saying that, he strided away from the palace gate, leaving only Ding Chen under the palace gate. Looking at his somewhat embarrassed back, he kept laughing.

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

The night is getting deeper and deeper.

In the second half of the night, heavy snow fell from the night sky, which quickly wrapped the entire palace in silver. From a distance, it looked very beautiful.

The Nangong has four side gates, Sima, guarding the four palace gates.

In the palace city, in addition to the Nangong Guards, there are also the public car Sima Wei guarding the Quemen and the left and right Duhou who is in charge of the sword and halberd soldiers. It is precisely for this reason that the Nangong Guards can devote all their main energy to this Age.

Otherwise, how could the huge palace city be with the eight hundred guards?

Ding Chen, wearing a fox-skinned lapel, patrolled the guards for a while and asked the guards to return to the on-duty room under the palace gate to rest. He walked to the open square alone, raised his head to look at the snowflakes falling from the night sky.

The snowflakes fell on his face and immediately melted into water droplets and slid down his cheeks.

Ding Chen closed his eyes and felt the silence in the palace city, but his mind was unconsciously revealed that the conversation with Cao Cao that night appeared.

He knew that Cao Cao was not having a happy life in Luoyang.

Although the Cao family was the descendant of Cao Shen, the founding hero of the Western Han Dynasty, it has long since passed by hundreds of years.

In the eyes of many people, Cao Cao was descended from the eunuch.

Although Cao Cao's father Cao Song was adopted by Cao Teng, it is undeniable that Cao's family has many conveniences...

Therefore, although those children of aristocratic families accepted Cao Cao, they were also quite disdainful of him.

Even Yuan Shao, who was a brother to Cao Cao, and later after Dong Zhuo entered Beijing, even though he was willing to draw his sword to each other, he actually regarded Cao Cao as his follower in his heart and did not really regard him as a friend. The two seemed harmonious, but there were indeed many conflicts in private. Cao Cao never wanted to talk about this in front of his family, but Ding Chen could feel it.

"Since my brother-in-law is not happy, why not leave Luoyang?"

"Ziyang, why don't I want to leave, but sometimes I can't help myself.

Ziyang, do you know what I wish in my life?"

"I heard from my sister that my brother-in-law admires most is Ban Dingyuan. What I wish in my life is to imitate Ban Dingyuan one day and make achievements."

"Hahaha!"

When Cao Cao heard this, he couldn't help laughing.

He patted Ding Chen on the shoulder and said, "Those who know me are Ziyang."

But then, Cao Cao lowered his face and said softly: "Thinking about the time when Xu Zijiang once commented that I was a treacherous hero in troubled times and a capable minister in governing the world. I dare not be a treacherous hero, but I really want to try this capable minister in governing the world.

The situation in Luoyang is now confusing. I am willing to serve the court, but I have no clue.

Ziyang, it is difficult to distinguish between good and evil in this court. I always feel that someone is secretly making trouble and making ill plans... It’s a pity that you are indifferent and unwilling to show up. Otherwise, I really hope you can help me and revive the Han Dynasty together."

The day after this conversation, Cao Cao suddenly went to assassinate Dong Zhuo.

In Ding Chen's opinion, Cao Cao's actions were extremely unwise.

Not to mention that there are many masters around Dong Zhuo, Lu Bu and Hua Xiong are brave enough to be unstoppable. Just say that Dong Zhuo himself has also been a hero and has a great reputation in Liangzhou. Cao Cao's assassination of Dong Zhuo was simply a death sentence, which was inconsistent with his temperament.

Or, my brother-in-law has a hidden secret?

Ding Chen immediately thought of the seven treasure sword left by Cao Cao...

Crunch!

A sound came from the empty palace square, awakening Ding Chen from his meditation.

He quickly looked up and saw a man walking out of the Age Hall, standing outside the door with his hands behind his back.

"Who?"

Ding Chen hurriedly stepped forward and shouted in a deep voice.

The man was obviously startled. After seeing Ding Chen clearly, he hurriedly said, "This general is the Lone King."

The sound was not very loud, with a hint of cowardice.

Only then did Ding Chen see clearly that it was Liu Bian, King Hongnong!

He hurriedly stepped forward and bowed, "I don't know that the king is here. I've disturbed me. Please forgive me."

"You are..." Liu Bian looked at Ding Chen a few times with the light coming from the hall, pointed at him and said, "It seems that I have seen you."

You are the one Cao Qing brought the last time..."

"Nangong Guardian Order, the humble minister's name is Ding Chen."

"Yes, Ding Chen!"

Liu Bian smiled, and a hint of blush flashed across his beautiful and pale face, obviously because he forgot Ding Chen's name and felt a little embarrassed.

This is not a king of a generation, it is clearly a big boy next door.

Ding Chen sighed in his heart: How can he survive in this chaos?

"Lao Dingqing has troubled these days."

"How can I say that this minister has to worry about?"

"Is it my duty?" Liu Bian's smile was a little sad, as if he was talking to himself: "I'm afraid that you are the only one in this palace city, you will think that this is my duty."

"Your Majesty, it's cold outside, so go back."

Of course, Ding Chen could hear Liu Bian's self-talk, but he didn't know how to answer.

This emperor is indeed pitiful... He has not been loved by Emperor Han Liu Hong since he was a child. If it weren't for his mother and uncle He Jin's support, he would have been deposed by Liu Hong. But even so, he still faces suppression and humiliation from others. Among them, one of them should be the suppression of his grandmother's Empress Dowager Dong in terms of seniority. He may not feel very happy in his heart.

After becoming the emperor, I can finally breathe a sigh of relief.

Unexpectedly, He Jin was killed before the dragon throne even sat on the hot plate. He became the first emperor to be held hostage by eunuchs since the Han Dynasty.

He returned to the palace for a lifetime of death, but was deposed by Dong Zhuo.

Not long after that, his biological mother was killed, but he seemed to be trapped in the palace like a bird in a cage.

Think about it, it is indeed sympathetic!

But who made him born in the deep palace and who made him the emperor's son?

Ding Chen could only persuade Liu Bian to go back and rest, but Liu Bian seemed to be very interested and didn't want to go back.

"Ding Qing, I remember Cao Qing said, Cao Qing is your brother-in-law?"

"ah?"

"What I mean is Cao Cao and the Captain Cao."

Ding Chen understood what he meant. The first Cao Qing refers to Cao Xing, and the second Cao Qing refers to Cao Cao and Mengde.

After hesitating for a moment, Ding Chen nodded, "That's it."

"Cao Qing is a good person, I have seen him before."

"If my brother-in-law could hear the king's comments, he would definitely be very happy."

"Hehe, is it true?"

Liu Bian was also very happy, so he simply sat down on the threshold of the hall.

Seeing that his clothes were a little thin, Ding Chen was worried that he would catch a cold, so he took off the cloak on his body and held it in his hand, but hesitated a little.

"Is it for orphans?"

"It's cold, and the king is thin and prone to illness.

But my clothes... I'm afraid that the king will get angry."

"What's so angry about this... When my uncle was there, he often gave Gu Yuhan clothes to bring them quickly."

Liu Bian said, snatching the cloak from Ding Chen and putting it on his body.

However, Ding Chen's cloak was very big, while Liu Bian's body seemed a little short, and the cloak was draped on his body, which was very strange.

"I still heard that you defeated Lu Bu, the first warrior in front of Xiangguo Dong?"

"What does Lu Bu look like? Isn't he very powerful?"

"How powerful is he? Are you even more powerful if you can defeat him?"

Perhaps because he was trapped in this deep palace for too long and no one spoke. Now that he met Ding Chen, Liu Bian suddenly opened up. He seemed very excited, which made Ding Chen unable to refuse, so he spoke with him.

"Don't believe the rumors, I am not a match for Mr. Wen."

"Mr. Wen, I have the name of a tiger... Although I have confronted him, I have shown mercy to him, otherwise my life will be difficult to protect."

"I have been following my brother-in-law and have not been to many places."

"That's right, I have been to the roast pork restaurant next to White Horse Temple. The roast pork in his house is really delicious. If the king likes it, I will bring some to the king when I come here tomorrow."

Liu Bian's thinking is very jumpy and there are many problems.

Ding Chen could feel that he actually yearned for the outside world and was full of curiosity about the outside world.

"Ding Qing, can you promise something alone?"

Suddenly, Liu Bian changed his mind and asked softly.

Ding Chen was stunned for a moment and said quickly: "Please give me instructions. As long as I can do it, I will never refuse."

"If, if one day, I will meet...

Please help me take good care of Tang Ji, and it is best to send her out of Luoyang. Her father is Tang Mao, the prefect of Kuaiji. How about you help Gu send her to Kuaiji?"
