Dong Zhuo slapped the case and stood up, his eyes wide open with anger, glaring at Li Fang who was bowing his head in the palace: "What did you say? Shi Zixuan committed suicide by taking poison?"
Li Fang knew that his sin was serious and that he would not escape death. He was so frightened that he trembled: "Yes, he seemed to be expecting that he would be exposed, so he dismissed the Taoist disciples in advance and committed suicide by taking poison."
"Damn it!"
Dong Zhuo was furious and said aggressively: "Why didn't you go earlier?"
Li Fang was silent, not daring to answer: "..."
At this moment, Li Ru took another step forward, bowed and handed over his hand: "Prime Minister, I can't blame General Li for this. Since the other party has been prepared for it, even if General Li leaves early, I'm afraid he will get nothing."
"but......"
When the conversation changed, Li Ru's voice was low, but sonorous and powerful: "I'm afraid it won't be that easy for King Hongnong to escape from Luoyang City. After all, our peripheral rangers have not yet withdrawn."
Nowadays, the entire Heluo Basin is in the hands of Dong Zhuo. As long as he has not left the Eight Passes of Luoyang, he has not escaped from the palm of his hand. The Yuan family cannot escape, especially Liu Bian.
Li Ru laid a dragnet in advance to prevent Liu Bian from leaving the eight passes of Luoyang. As long as he got out of the pass, it would not be considered an escape and he would be caught sooner or later.
"That makes sense."
Dong Zhuo nodded: "So, King Hongnong must still be in Luoyang."
Li Ru said solemnly: "That's right! And it's impossible for Shi Zixuan to ignore King Hongnong. I'm afraid it's a lie that he dispersed the Taoist disciples in advance. Escorting King Hongnong to leave is true. As long as we can find the Taoist disciples, we can find Hongnong."
king."
Dong Zhuo's eyes lit up and he was convinced: "Yes, it's this truth, or Wen You, you are smart. If we rely on idiots like them to catch people, I'm afraid I won't be able to find even a hair in Luoyang."
Li Ru hurriedly shook his head and waved his hands: "Prime Minister, please don't do this. General Li is certainly a hero on the battlefield. He is decisive in killing and has repeatedly accomplished extraordinary feats. He is just not good at strategizing and solving cases. If you transfer him to the battlefield, he will definitely be a good person."
The members are like tiger generals."
Phew~~~
Dong Zhuo heard this and breathed a sigh of relief: "Forget it, I will leave this matter to you Wen You. Luoyang's army and horses can be dispatched. Liu Bian must be captured by me at all costs!"
Li Ru bowed his head: "Here."
"Li Fang." Dong Zhuo turned around and looked.
"exist."
"You will do your best to assist Wenyou."
"Here."
They both raised their hands and exited the Prime Minister's Mansion.
Li Fang's hanging heart finally fell, and he thanked him profusely: "Wen You, thank you for your kind words for me, otherwise the Prime Minister would have to kill me, so I owe you my life this time."
Li Ru smiled lightly: "You're welcome, it's better to find someone quickly. If you can't find King Hongnong, I'm afraid the knife on your head will still be unable to fall."
"Yes!"
Li Fang nodded hurriedly and then asked: "But Luoyang is so big, how should we find it? If King Hongnong finds a hole to hide in, do we really have to turn it upside down?"
"No need."
As Li Ru walked away, he explained: "King Hongnong has no relatives in Luoyang, so he will not dare to stay for a long time. I predict that he will take advantage of the day of the heaven-sacrifice ceremony when the eight passes of Luoyang are empty and escape.
General, please don’t forget that General He Jin is from Nanyang, and Liu Bian, as the surviving son of He, can be considered half Nanyang. If my guess is correct, he will definitely rush to Nanyang after escaping from the palace this time."
"That's right!"
Li Fang suddenly realized it and was so impressed that he fell to the ground.
At the same time, his thoughts suddenly dispersed, as if he had been enlightened: "To go directly from Luoyang to Nanyang, you must go through Yique Pass, Guangcheng Pass, or Dagong Pass and Guangcheng Pass, they are all southwest of Luoyang."
"Um."
Li Ru nodded: "That's right."
Li Fang waved his hand: "Let's go to Yique Pass in the southwest."
The two got on their horses and headed straight to the southwest.
Not far away, we saw rangers patrolling nearby.
"Have you ever found the person in the portrait?"
Li Fang called the rangers forward and asked.
"General Qi, we don't have any at the moment."
The Rangers led the way in answer.
"Have you ever seen a group of Taoists passing by?"
Li Ru asked in a different way.
"Oh~~"
The Ranger leader's eyes lit up: "A group of Taoist priests passed by, about forty or fifty people, but there was no one in the portrait. I checked carefully."
"Checking shit!"
Li Fang was furious and furious. He opened his mouth and cursed: "Hongnong...the person in the portrait hid in it. How dare you say that you have verified it? I, the general, will punish you for dereliction of duty!"
"General, please don't get angry."
Li Ru quickly waved his hand to stop them, then asked: "How many people are there? How long have they been away from here?"
The Ranger leader's expression changed suddenly, and he swallowed nervously: "He...they...must have more than forty...people, right? I forgot,
Gone...gone for a while."
"What direction?"
"Da Gu Pass."
"Damn it!"
Li Fang was furious and immediately shouted: "Then what are you waiting for? Immediately gather the team and follow the general to chase him. If the person in the portrait is gone, you will all lose your head!"
The Rangers leader hurriedly handed over his hand: "Here."
Immediately.
He gave a sonorous order: "Quick, shoot the arrows and summon the troops."
The cavalryman beside him nodded in response: "Okay."
Whoosh~~
An arrow pierces the clouds, and thousands of troops come to meet you.
*****
Magpie Village.
Ah San's eyes turned red from crying: "Your Highness, my master is unwilling to leave Luoyang. He wants to lure away the cavalry outside Luoyang for you. You must seize the opportunity and escape from Luoyang!"
"Asan..."
Liu Bian was shocked and said in disbelief: "You mean... Taoist Master Shi... he did it for Gu..."
Ah San nodded heavily and burst into tears: "My master swallowed poison and cut off his escape, just to allow His Highness to escape Luoyang. I'm afraid my brothers and sisters have already rushed to Dagu Pass. Your Highness should leave quickly."
Even netizens in the live broadcast room couldn't help crying when they saw this scene:
"It's so touching. Shi Zixuan is so great. He must have regarded Liu Bian as his son, otherwise he wouldn't have made such a big sacrifice."
"Yes, although we only have a relationship for three years, once you are a father, you will be a father forever. Shi Zixuan is really a good father."
"It's so damn awesome, even watching a live video can make labor and management cry."
"I fucking cried too!"
"Crying +1"
"+2"
"+10086"
"..."
At this moment, the voice of the Military Advisor Alliance sounded: "Master Bian, it is indeed a pity that Shi Zixuan committed suicide by taking poison, but he diverted the peripheral rangers away, which is just the right time for us to rush to Shenyuan Pass. This opportunity must not be missed again."
"I see."
Liu Bian nodded.
Immediately.
He helped Ah San up with his own hands: "Don't worry, I will leave Luoyang safely. I will not disappoint Shi Daoren's good intentions. You can also leave with me. From now on, stay with me."
Asan's eyes were filled with tears: "Asan is willing to work as a cow or a horse for His Highness, and serve His Highness for the rest of his life."
"Your Highness~~"
"Your Highness~~"
Just at this moment, a voice sounded outside.
Liu Bian raised his eyes and looked.
It was the guard Zhu Tong who came over: "Your Highness, the outer rangers have been withdrawn. Something happened at Dagu Pass. Let's take this opportunity and leave quickly. We can't wait any longer."
Liu Bian stared at Zhu Tong with burning eyes: "Well, let's go!"
