"Your Majesty! Your Highness the Princess! Please don't worry! I believe that with General Lu and General Zhang here, they will be able to repel the enemy forces outside the city!"
In the city guard's house, Guo Yi, who had just returned from the city, was comforting Liu Ze and Liu Xing. But even so, Liu Ze and Liu Xing's faces were still ugly. Although Liu Ze was the emperor, he knew very well that he
Who was able to ascend to the position of emperor because of who? Even though Liu Zhe acted like a little kid who hadn't grown up all day long, Liu Zhe knew it very well in his heart. Moreover, the death of his father Liu Xie and the decline of the Han Dynasty,
Liu Ze actually knew it too.
But unlike Liu Xie, Liu Zhe didn't care about the resurgence of the Han Dynasty. Before Liu Xie's death, he was just one of Liu Xie's many children. And because he was close to Luo Zheng, both Liu Zhe and Liu Xing
They did not receive Liu Xie's care and were often bullied by their brothers and sisters. Therefore, the two brothers and sisters did not have much sense of belonging to the Han Dynasty. Of course, these were not the main reasons. Liu Ze knew very well that if he stayed in Western Qin, he might still be able to
If they live comfortably, even if they give up the throne of the emperor in the future, the Luo family will definitely let themselves live a prosperous life. But if it falls into the hands of other princes, then Liu Ze can be said to be in danger. This is not what Liu Ze wants.
Would like to see.
Although Guo Yi repeatedly comforted Liu Ze, Liu Ze still felt uneasy. He had a gloomy face. After thinking about it carefully, he turned to look at Xu Huang behind him as his bodyguard. Suddenly his eyes lit up and he said: "General Xu
! Now that the situation is urgent, please ask General Xu to take action to assist General Lu and General Zhang to repel the enemy!"
Hearing Liu Ze's request, Xu Huang, who had always had a straight face, suddenly showed a strange expression. He never expected that Liu Ze would make such a request to him. You know, Xu Huang was just for
Only by helping Liu Xie escape from Chang'an would he be captured by the Western Qin army! Now the Cao Wei army is dispatched to rob Liu Zhe out of the Western Qin Dynasty, but Liu Zhe still refuses? Although Xu Huang has been
Staying by Liu Ze's side does not mean that he has sincerely surrendered to the Western Qin Dynasty. In Xu Huang's heart, he is just a Han official, loyal to the Han Dynasty, not to Luo Yang. This is the last thing in Xu Huang's heart.
Bottom line!
It is precisely because of this that although Liu Zhe requested this, Xu Huang frowned, hesitated for a moment, and knelt down directly towards Liu Zhe, lying on the ground and said: "Your Majesty! Please forgive me for resisting the order! The duty of the general is
To protect His Majesty’s safety, we must not leave His Majesty’s side for even a moment!”
When Guo Yi heard Liu Zhe's words, he was overjoyed. He would rush over to Liu Zhe immediately to explain the situation in Nanton City at the moment. In fact, he was playing tricks on Xu Huang! The first person of the day
After meeting Xu Huang for the first time, Guo Yi asked Zhang Hu about Xu Huang and learned that Xu Huang went deep alone to buy time for Liu Xie to escape Chang'an, and almost killed Zhang Hu and other young men from the Western Qin Dynasty.
War general, Guo Yi immediately determined that this Xu Huang was definitely not inferior to the generals of the Western Qin Dynasty! When he just left on the top of the city, Guo Yi thought that there was such a master in Nanton City. If not, how could he
Isn’t it such a pity! But I didn’t expect Xu Huang to be so stubborn. Even if Liu Zhe personally requested it, he would dare to resist the order and refuse to agree! Looking at Xu Huang’s behavior, I’m afraid Xu Huang would not agree no matter how hard Liu Zhe tried to force him.
Seeing that Liu Zhe's face was gloomy, Guo Yi quickly stepped forward and persuaded: "Your Majesty! General Xu must fulfill his duties and cannot leave His Majesty's side. This is General Xu's loyalty. Your Majesty does not need to make it difficult for General Xu.
!”
Guo Yi had no choice but to say so. After all, Xu Huang himself didn't want to. Even if Liu Zhe forced him to go with a knife, it would be useless! After all, Lu Meng and Zhang Hu were not guaranteed to be unable to defend the city, and looking at Lu Meng's posture, it seemed that
There are other options, so it’s better to place your hopes on Lu Meng!
Guo Yi gave it up, but Liu Zhe didn't want to let it go! Liu Xing, who was beside him, raised her eyebrows and shouted: "Xu Huang! How brave are you! How dare you openly disobey the imperial edict?"
Faced with Liu Xing's questioning, Xu Huang didn't even say anything. He just lay on the ground with his head down, motionless, as if he accepted the punishment. This made Liu Zhe and Liu Xing angry.
His face turned livid, Liu Zhe snorted coldly and shouted: "Xu Huang! Do you really think that I don't dare to kill you?"
Xu Huang lay on the ground motionless, but lowered his head and said: "Your Majesty! If you want me to die, I have to die! If your Majesty thinks that the general deserves to die, the general has nothing to say!"
"You!" Xu Huang's words made Liu Zhe speechless. In fact, Xu Huang's loyalty to him over the years has always been kept in mind by Liu Zhe. If he wanted to ask Liu Zhe to kill Xu Huang,
, he was absolutely reluctant to part with it. But now Xu Huang's attitude is so tough that it really makes it impossible for him to step down!
Just when Liu Zhe was in a dilemma, laughter suddenly came from outside the hall. Everyone turned their heads and saw a slightly thin figure walking in from the door of the hall, it was Luo Zheng!
When he saw Luo Zheng, Guo Yi couldn't help but be startled. He quickly stepped forward and asked, "Zheng'er! Why did you come out? Didn't I let you have a good rest in the yard?"
"Haha!" Luo Zheng still maintained his usual smile, shook his head and said: "Brother-in-law! At this time, how can I possibly stay in the yard? Don't worry! The miracle doctor just asked me to rest more. In fact, my body has already recovered.
He has recovered! Now Nanton City is in such a critical situation, naturally I have to come out to help!"
"Nonsense!" Guo Yi, who had always been calm, couldn't hold back at this moment and yelled loudly: "General Lu and General Zhang will naturally handle this matter. Why are you, a child, interfering in it? Go back!"
After being scolded by Guo Yi, there was nothing wrong with Luo Zheng's expression. He still said with a smile: "Brother-in-law! Don't always treat me like a child! My kung fu is not bad! Right, General Xu!" Luo Zheng!
Zheng's last words were spoken to Xu Huang, who was still lying on the ground. However, Xu Huang did not get Liu Ze's approval, so he did not stand up and continued to lie down like that.
Luo Zheng brought the topic to Xu Huang. Liu Ze remembered Xu Huang's confrontation with him just now, and his face became a little gloomier. Liu Xing simply pointed at Xu Huang and was about to curse. At this time, Luo Zheng was a
He rushed forward, stopped Liu Xing first, and said with a smile: "By the way, Your Majesty! When you came out of Chang'an with me, didn't you just say that you wanted to see the wonderful things outside? There is so much fighting outside the city right now.
Are you going to miss this exciting event?"
Luo Zheng suddenly said such a sentence, Liu Zhe and the other three were all stunned. Xu Huang, who was lying on the ground, couldn't help but trembled. He immediately raised his upper body, glared at Luo Zheng and shouted: "Bold!
How dare you let Your Majesty go to such a dangerous place? Swords have no eyes, what should I do if something happens to His Majesty? You, you, you are simply too cruel to kill!"
Faced with Xu Huang's accusation, Liu Zhe and the other three looked at Luo Zheng with strange expressions. Of course, they did not think that Luo Zheng really wanted to kill Liu Zhe, but they also did not understand why Luo Zheng would make such a suggestion.
But Luo Zheng looked at Xu Huang with a curious expression and said with a smile: "General Xu, where do you start talking about this? Your Majesty is protected by such a master as General Xu, how can anything unexpected happen? Don't you think so?
Your Majesty?" As he spoke, Luo Zheng blinked at Liu Zhe.
Liu Zhe had played with Luo Zheng since he was a child, and he was very familiar with Luo Zheng. When he saw Luo Zheng's eyes and what Luo Zheng said just now, Liu Zhe immediately understood what Luo Zheng meant.
Immediately, Liu Zhe also laughed, nodded and said: "Luo Zheng is right! Well, I think back then, when Emperor Gaozu killed the White Snake and overthrew the Qin Dynasty, he conquered the country with one sword and one shot! Since I am the emperor, I will face
How can we hide in the rear fearlessly during the rebellion? Wouldn't it be a disgrace to the faces of the ancestors of the Han Dynasty? Since General Xu refuses to go to help, so be it! I will personally carry the three-foot long sword and kill the enemy on the battlefield.
Only then can we demonstrate the majesty of the Han Emperor!"
Now everyone understood. Guo Yi looked at Luo Zheng with a strange look. Luo Yang always liked to be direct, and Luo Zheng's mother Cai Yan was gentle and generous. What was Luo Zheng's evil idea?
Who did you inherit it from?
Not to mention that Guo Yi rarely complained in his heart, Xu Huang certainly understood Luo Zheng's intention, but even if he understood it, it would be useless! He could defy Liu Ze's imperial edict, but he could not just sit back and watch Liu Ze fall into danger.
Don't ask! Xu Huang's face turned green and white. In the end, he could only grit his teeth and hum: "Since Your Majesty has made up his mind, the duty of the general is to follow His Majesty and protect Him."
safety!”
Luo Zheng and Liu Zhe succeeded in their treacherous plan. They looked at each other and winked proudly at the same time. But at this time, Liu Xing on the side couldn't help it anymore and shouted: "No! No! Brother!"
I want to go to the battlefield to kill the enemy too! I want to go too!"
Liu Xing's voice startled Luo Zheng and others, and Luo Zheng felt distressed, how could he forget this aunt! Liu Zhe said that he was going to the battlefield, but by then Liu Zhe would at best wander around the north of the city.
For a moment, I'm afraid they won't even be able to go up to the top of the city. But if Liu Xing goes, God knows what kind of trouble this thirteenth princess will cause! But Luo Zheng didn't know what to say, so he could only look at Liu for help.
Zhe, who knew that Liu Zhe also looked at Luo Zheng with the same expression at the same time. It seems that this young emperor also has no idea about his sister!
In desperation, Luo Zheng had no choice but to think of a solution by himself. Turning his eyes, Luo Zheng was serious and said to Liu Xing with an admiring look on his face: "It's really admirable for the princess to have such courage!
I’m afraid no one can match it throughout the ages!”
