Summon the defense tower at the beginning

Chapter 113 Fake King Dong Zhuo
"The emperor is dead!"

In Luoyang City, the news of Liu Hong's death spread quickly. At that time, Zhang Rang and other ten permanent servants were purging General Dou Wu's people, so the government and the public naturally targeted Zhang Rang.

It's just that Zhang Rang was favored by Liu Hong in the past, and his strength is even more impressive. Although everyone in Luoyang City saw it as a source of resentment, few people dared to take action.

Finally, under the collusion of Empress Dowager He's family of foreign ministers and the Yuan family of the fourth generation and third prince, He Jin sent an order to summon King Dong Zhuoqin of Xiliang.

A strong wind has risen, and all animals are frightened.

In addition to this series of changes, Cai Yong and more than a dozen court ministers were assassinated by Dou Wu's people but failed. Now the Cai family who escaped the catastrophe was not as relaxed as imagined.

"How is the situation now?"

"I heard that Empress Dowager He has ordered Dong Zhuo of Xiliang to be called back. As for Zhang Rang, there has been no movement."

"What can those eunuchs do? Once they are emperors and courtiers, since Liu Hong is dead, they won't be majestic for long."

As he spoke, two figures were reflected in the flickering candlelight behind the yellowed window paper.

In the room, Cai Wenji, who had long hair like a waterfall and was shaped like a willow, stood aside respectfully, guarding a gray-haired old man sitting on the grand teacher's chair.

Perhaps it was because he was in his own mansion, the old man didn't wear a crown, and he was only wearing a gray robe, with a simple crown in a bun, looking faintly scholarly.

Although his hair is gray, there are no wrinkles or age spots on his face, presumably it's just too much work, so his hair is gray in his prime.

Cai Wenji stood aside, seeing the old man's deep brows, she cautiously probed.

"What does father mean?"

"Do we still have a choice?"

Cai Yong sighed, and picked up the teacup on the table, just about to stagger the cup and saucer to take a sip of hot tea, but he never thought that there was no tea soup in the cup.

Seeing this, Cai Wenji cleverly picked up the small red clay tea stove at the corner of the table.

The warm tea in the tea stove was already cold, and it was obvious that the conversation between the two of them took some time in this room.

She tilted her head and fiddled with the charcoal in the tea stove. Taking advantage of this time, Cai Yong looked at his precious daughter, with some warmth flashing in his originally indifferent eyes.

He had a son in his later years, and among the two daughters, the eldest daughter was the one he liked the most, not only because of her talent and talent, but also because of her gentle temperament, which fit his old Confucian perception.

Thinking about Cai Wenji's future life, Cai Yong closed his eyes and sighed again.

"Time is also destiny. Yan'er, chaos is about to arise in this world. As a father, you are incompetent. From now on, you can only rely on yourself."

"..."

Cai Wenji's hands trembled when she heard the words, and she was almost burned by the charcoal fire. She wanted to say something but didn't know how to say it.

While the father and daughter were hesitating, a burst of laughter broke the silence of the night in the east wing of Cai Mansion.

Among the gauze curtains decorated with brocade, Cai Yingxuan smiled with crooked eyebrows, and she looked pretty, but the person in front of her didn't have a good face.

"Have you had enough trouble?"

"Wait a minute, I'll draw another tortoise for you."

As she spoke, Cai Yingxuan shined the brush in her hand on the inkstone beside her. She turned around and was about to draw a few strokes on Chen Jue. Unexpectedly, Chen Jue had already stood up.

The muscular figure is like Michelangelo's sculpture, but now he has a few more rabbit ears and a cat face.

"What are you doing up? Hurry up and give it to me..."

"What will I give you? Someday I will really clean you up once, so that you can't even scream, believe it or not?"

"Hehe~ You little eunuch don't have a long memory anymore?"

While talking, Cai Yingxuan took a step forward and pushed Chen Jue directly.

Chen Jue obviously looked so strong, but he didn't expect to be pushed staggered by her for a while, and he didn't even dare to fight back.

Seeing his submissive look, Cai Yingxuan raised the corner of her mouth slightly, sneered unabashedly, smeared two strokes on him, and sneered.

"If I hadn't protected you, do you know that you would have died a long time ago? You are obviously a little eunuch with no ability, but you have gained a Confucian and Taoist heart that I have never had. If it weren't for me, you would have been ripped out by my sister by now. It took out my lungs."

"That's just because it's not yet time. Do you think she will listen to what you say?"

"..."

After talking about this, Cai Yingxuan's face darkened, and she didn't even know how to say a rebuttal.

Since she was a child, she has lived under the halo of her elder sister. Whether it is poetry, songs or melodies, Cai Wenji always looks so talented and intelligent, so for a long time, Cai Yingxuan always accepted her conversations with Cai Yong. If we don't talk to each other, they will gradually become alienated over time.

Speaking of it now, Cai Yingxuan really didn't know what Cai Wenji was thinking, so naturally she couldn't say that she would be able to keep Chen Jue.

What a scheming Chen Jue was, he guessed what she was thinking when he saw her expression was wrong, turned his head and looked outside the door, and saw that there was no one, so he tentatively said.

"If you don't want me to die, you'd better let me go now."

"I didn't tie you up, you little eunuch is so capable, why don't you go out by yourself?"

When Cai Yingxuan heard his words, she sneered, saying that she had no talent, and her little brain was really clever.

Chen Jue knew that he couldn't talk to her, so he was relieved. He sat on the wooden couch beside him and asked casually.

"A few days ago, I heard the sound of gongs and drums in the city. What happened?"

"The emperor is dead."

"Emperor?! Which emperor?"

"Who else can you not recognize even Your Majesty today?"

"Hanling Emperor Liu Hong?!"

Hearing Chen Jue call out Liu Hong's posthumous title, Cai Yingxuan glanced at him in surprise, but before she could ask any more questions, she saw Chen Jue's complexion turned pale, and said to herself.

"Emperor Ling is dead? Then Dong Zhuo should arrive in Luoyang soon... I must leave here... I must go!"

"Go ahead! If you dare to run, I will break your dog legs!"

Before Chen Jue finished speaking in a spirited manner, Cai Yingxuan stepped forward and patted him on the forehead. The words were said to be full of threats, but they didn't really do anything.

It's just that she was just joking, but there was no hint of a joke on Chen Jue's face.

No one can clean up the mess in Luoyang. Dong Zhuo is a capable man and hopes to single-handedly defeat the officials in Luoyang and stabilize the Han Dynasty.

It's a pity that this big man has been separated from virtue for a hundred years, and the young emperor is young. Even if Dong Zhuo can hold him down for a while, he won't be able to hold him down for a lifetime.

More importantly, Chen Jue has no time to waste now.

"Recruiting troops and developing bases, time is running out, we can't delay any longer!"

Thinking of this, Chen Jue's eyes turned red, but Cai Yingxuan was taken aback. She covered her chest in anticipation and fear, and said anxiously.

"Little eunuch, what do you want to do!"
