Unparalleled Huaxiong of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 212 The Emperor's Secret Envoy
Yuan Shu grabbed the scout and asked with an unusually solemn expression:
"You said this was news from Huang Rong?"

The scout couldn't help nodding, even claiming "yes".

Immediately, Yuan Shu turned his head and looked at Yuan Shao, the two of them stopped talking, both of them saw the trace of horror in each other's eyes.

Gradually, the other princes in the tent also noticed that something was wrong between Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu. Everyone looked at them, and Zhang Chao, who had just been sweetened by Yuan Shu, asked:
"Leader, Gonglu, what's the matter with you two?"

For a while, no one paid attention to Zhang Chao, and after a long time, Yuan Shao, who was in the handsome position, took the initiative to say: "It's okay, it's rare that you are so elegant today, if so, please continue."

After finishing speaking, Yuan Shao took the initiative to signal the singers who were about to retreat to continue the previous performance.

Although Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu concealed all this very well, none of the princes were fools, at least the Beiping prefect Gongsun Zan was not.

At that moment, Gongsun Zan could see through the expressions in the eyes of the two brothers Yuan Shao at a glance, but he didn't say anything, and continued to drink the wine in his glass.

A moment later, Gongsun Zan got up, left Yuan Shao's tent on the grounds that he was too drunk, let two personal guards support him, and returned to his camp.

As soon as Gongsun Zan returned to the camp, he immediately pushed away the two people who were supporting him, and ordered the whole army to assemble, preparing to pull out the camp overnight. He saw something was wrong in the eyes of Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu. Now that Dong Zhuo had also run away, there was no need for Luoyang. stay.

When the army set off, Gongsun Zan looked at the ruins of Luoyang City, and said to the left and right guards:
"Follow me to walk around the city."

"promise."

How can Luoyang City look like an imperial capital at this time?There were broken walls and ruins everywhere, and the embers of the fire that had not been completely extinguished were constantly emitting black smoke. Gongsun Zan came to the dilapidated palace gate with a few personal guards behind him.

A group of people entered the palace. Gongsun Zan caressed a section of the wall that was not affected by the fire. He was about to sigh aloud when suddenly his eyes flashed. He heard a sound of breaking through the air behind him, and Gongsun Zan immediately dodged to the side!
"Boom!"

An iron arrow stuck into the ground in front of Gongsun Zan, the body of the arrow was still trembling.

"There are assassins!"

"Protect the lord!"

Gongsun Zan turned his head to look in the direction of the bow and arrow, and saw a figure suddenly disappear behind a pillar of a palace. Before Gongsun Zan could speak, several guards immediately chased after the man.

Looking at the place where the iron arrow landed, Gongsun Zan couldn't help heaving a sigh of relief. If the opponent wanted to shoot him with one arrow, it was obvious that the arrow's accuracy was still a bit off.

However, thinking of the powerful piercing sound caused by the arrow flying, Gongsun Zan couldn't help being afraid for a while. He could tell from the sound that the archer's arm strength must be much higher than that of ordinary people. Shoot yourself with arrows!

Gongsun Zan drew out his saber, and led the rest of the guards behind him and walked slowly towards the place where he disappeared at the moment. The guards who rushed in front had already chased him and passed through two palaces at this moment. I feel that I have reached the depths of the palace.

When several of Gongsun Zan's personal guards were running, they suddenly found that he had disappeared at this moment. They searched around, but found no one, but there was a five-colored brilliance rising from the south of the palace in front of them, and this At that time, a personal guard looked up at the gate of the underground hall that had not been completely burned, and saw three big words hanging above it: Jianzhang Hall.

Soon, when Gongsun Zan arrived, several personal guards reported the matter to Gongsun Zan, and a group of people walked towards the place where the five-colored glory was shining.

When they came to the front, several people found the five-colored brilliance coming from a dry well. Gongsun Zan immediately ordered someone to light a torch, and then sent a thin bodyguard, tied with hemp rope, into the well to find out.

A moment later, the bodyguard picked up a female corpse from the well, it looked like a court lady, with a kit hanging around her neck, and the five-colored brilliance was emitted from the kit.

A personal guard opened the kit, it was a small scarlet wooden box, the wooden box was slightly opened, and the five-colored brilliance was exposed from the opening.

Gongsun Zan hurriedly looked inside the wooden box, and found there was an object there, four inches in diameter, with five dragons crossing the knot. It was a jade seal, with one corner inlaid with gold. Gongsun Zan didn't understand that this was the Jade Seal of Chuanguo!

At that moment, Gongsun Zan hurriedly took over the wooden box containing the jade seal and closed the wooden box. Immediately, the colorful light disappeared. Gongsun Zan hid the jade seal close to his body, looked around, and found that there was no one there, so he led the crowd. The personal guard hurried back the same way.

However, Gongsun Zan seemed to have forgotten why he came here. At this time, the person who shot the arrow at Gongsun Zan was standing on the eaves of a palace in the distance, staring at Gongsun Zan.

After Gongsun Zan came out of the ruins of the palace, he trotted all the way back to his barracks. When he got to the barracks gate, he didn't go in, but shouted into the barracks:
"Let Shan Jing come out and meet me!"

Immediately, the Youzhou soldiers guarding the gate of the camp ran towards the camp, and soon after, Shan Jing ran out of the camp in a hurry, came up to Gongsun Zan, cupped his hands and said:
"My lord, what are your orders?"

"How about the rectification of the army?"

"Everything has been packed, and the camp will be ready within a quarter of an hour."

"it is good."

After Gongsun Zan finished speaking, he seemed to hesitate for a moment, then took out a kit from his chest, handed it to Shan Jing, and said, "I'm going to bid farewell to the lord, and you will keep this thing for me for now, don't open it!"

Shan Jing glanced at Gongsun Zan suspiciously, but found that Gongsun Zan's cold cover seemed to be addictive, so Shan Jing immediately said:

"promise!"

Gongsun Zan returned to Yuan Shao's tent again, and found that all the princes already had a singer. Seeing Gongsun Zan arrived, Yuan Shu got up and laughed at Gongsun Zan:

"Bogui, it's your fault. The beauties are all done, so you're back."

Gongsun Zan smiled slightly and said, "Since that's the case, then I don't have that blessing."

Then, Gongsun Zan stepped forward and said to Yuan Shao: "My lord, I received a letter from Beiping Gouzi, saying that my old mother hasn't seen me for many days, and my heart is missing me more and more. I think that the big event has been decided now, so I came here to express my gratitude to the leader and everyone." Farewell, colleagues."

After finishing speaking, Gongsun Zan clasped his hands and gave unanimous consent to all the princes in the tent.

The princes from all walks of life didn't have any unexpected reactions, and Yuan Shao only kept a few words symbolically. Just when Gongsun Zan was about to leave, there was a sudden sound of hurried footsteps, and the guards outside the tent walked into the tent, half kneeling on the ground. , said to Yuan Shao:
"Report to the lord, there is a person outside the tent who claims to be the secret envoy of the emperor, and he has an important gift to offer to the lord."
