C9 Farewell

After being ridiculed by He Jin, the black-faced, golden-armored general's expression became even gloomier. Even his companions all revealed mocking smiles. He Jin didn't mind at all. He turned around and shouted at the eunuch, "Lead the way!"

He Jin followed the eunuch into the palace with his head held high, and the guards immediately closed the palace door. When the black-faced, golden-armored general saw this, he opened his mouth, but didn't say anything in the end.

The golden-armored general, who had previously scolded the eunuch, patted the black-faced general on the shoulder and said with a smile, "Meng De, there's no need to do this. We have brought over five thousand elite soldiers to guard this place."

The black-faced general replied with a smile that was uglier than crying, but he was actually disdainful in his heart: "If these eunuchs have really committed any evil deeds, why would they bother about all the elite soldiers in this palace?" In the eyes of the eunuchs, as long as they control the Emperor and Empress Dowager, all is well. " The dark-faced general wanted to return to his thoughts, but when he saw his companion's fake smile, he shut his mouth and said nothing.

Time passed bit by bit, but there was no response from inside the palace gate. Suddenly, the dark-faced general's ears twitched, and he hurriedly asked his comrade, "This Beginner! Do you hear anything? "

At this moment, the golden-armored general was talking passionately with the other golden-armored generals behind him. He turned his head and asked with slight displeasure, "What did you not hear?"

The Black Faced General tilted his head and focused on listening, but there was no sound. He frowned and said, "I seem to have heard a scream."

"Hahahaha!" Ben and the other golden-armored generals looked at each other and smiled. "You're thinking too much!"

The black-faced general did not care about the ridicule from the crowd. He suddenly wrinkled his nose and said with a drastic change in expression, "That's not right! There's the smell of blood! " Ignoring the others' reactions, he rushed to the front of the palace door and smacked it hard, exclaiming incessantly, "General, please return to your residence! "Great General, please return to your residence!"

"Meng De …" Ben Chu frowned, a trace of unease rising up in his heart. He was about to say something when he saw a black shadow fly down from above the palace gate, landing between Ben and the black-faced general.

The black-faced general turned around and looked carefully. It was the head of He Jin, who had just entered the palace. Blood was still dripping from the wound.

"He Jin's conspiracy, has already been killed! All of you are his followers, let bygones be bygones and quickly leave! " A sharp, ear-piercing sound came from the inside of the palace gate.

The black-faced general and Ben Chu looked at each other, and Ben Chu rolled his eyes, and immediately unsheathed the sword at his waist and shouted to the soldiers behind him, "How dare the eunuch kill the minister! Everyone, please follow me into the palace! Kill the castrates! " With that said, he waved his sword in the direction of the palace gate.

The black-faced general immediately drew his sword and shouted: "Kill!" He took the lead and rushed forward.

With two people taking the lead, the rest of the people started fires and rammed against the doors of the palace. For a time, the entire palace was filled with the sounds of slaughter.

At this time, over a hundred miles northwest of Luoyang City, a large squadron of cavalry was rushing towards Luoyang.

"My lord!" A scholar wearing an azure robe with a goatee rode a handsome horse to the front of the group.

"Li Ru? "What is it?" At the front of the group rode a middle-aged man. He wore golden armor, and his body was fat. He had a fierce-looking face, and his eyes revealed a fierce light.

"My lord!" Look! " The scholar was obviously good at riding. He easily steered his mount and stopped behind the fierce man, pointing towards the direction of the Luo Yang in the east. Looking in the direction of the scholar's finger, the horizon actually faintly glowed with red light.

"This is?" The fierce-looking man looked at the scholar with a puzzled expression.

"My lord!" Luoyang had changed! "We can speed up the travel!" The scholar hastily replied.

The fierce-looking man's expression changed as well. He waved his hand and shouted behind him, "Children! "Run!" Then he threw the whip towards the horse's butt. The horse screamed and rushed forward.

In the past few days, Chen Ren could be said to be enjoying his life to the fullest. He would either chat with Zhuge Liang, Xu Shu, and the others, enjoying the adoration that the most intelligent people in history had for him, or drink wine with Guo Jia, drunk to the point of being a complete mess. However, the occasional visit to the Water Mirror Villa by the Qu brothers made Chen Ren feel slightly regretful.

It wasn't that Chen Ren disliked the brothers, but this brother seemed to be overly passionate, making Chen Ren feel uncomfortable. More accurately, it should be because of the passionate look the Kui brothers were giving him, that made him feel a little bit scared.

Normally, the brothers would only stay for a couple of hours before leaving. Although Chen Ren's boastful attitude was ruined, a few cups of wine was nothing. But today, the arrival of the Kui brothers had completely interrupted Chen Ren's free time.

"What?" Luoyang disturbance? Dong Zhuo entered the capital? " Guo Jia stood up in surprise when he heard the news from Kui Liang. Everyone looked at him in surprise. Of course, Chen Ren was the only one to do so. Kui Liang looked at Chen Ren, who was drinking by himself, and secretly memorized this.

"This is the latest news from one of our spies in Luoyang. Dong Zhuo has talked about crippling the young emperor in Warm Light Garden, and has ended up in a bad situation with State Thorn Sting." Kui Yue delivered yet another piece of news, stunning everyone. Of course, this didn't include Chen Ren.

"This, this, this, this Dong Zhuo sure has guts!" Xu Shu angrily slammed the table and stood up.

"The Han Dynasty has come to an end!" Sima Hui's face was filled with pain as he sighed. The others also sighed in succession.

Chen Ren coughed as he stood up and said, "Brother De Cao, Brother Zi Rou, Brother Qi Mu Yu Li, I've been bothering you in Xiangyang for a long time. It's time for me to go back."

Chen Ren's sudden words made everyone unable to react as they stared at him with wide eyes. Guo Jia, on the other hand, didn't care. She stood up and said to Chen Ren, "Since that's the case, I'll go back with you."

"Ah?" Your son was bestowed with filial piety. Could it be that I have wronged the two of you due to my poor hospitality? " Sima Hui was so anxious that his face turned red. He quickly grabbed Guo Jia who was beside him. The Kui brothers didn't know what to do either. According to Pang De's order, they were going to leave Chen Ren in Jing Prefecture.

Chen Ren smiled and said, "Brother De Cao, you are mistaken. It will be my teacher's birthday in a short period of time. I will definitely go back to pay my respects to my teacher." "Now that the north is in chaos, if we don't go back, the road might not be peaceful." Guo Jia shrugged her shoulders to express her agreement with Chen Ren.

Chen Ren brought out his master's righteousness, so the others couldn't say anything. Sima Hui could only instruct the servants to pack for Chen Ren. On the other hand, the brothers were as anxious as ants on a hot pan. Kui Liang rolled his eyes, looked at his younger brother, and hurriedly said, "Strange, go back to your house and get some wine. Send your son and your filial piety to drink on the way."

Chen Ren, of course, had seen what was happening between Kui Liang and Kui Yue, but he didn't care. Guo Jia quietly touched his shoulder, and Chen Ren merely nodded his head, indicating for Guo Jia to ignore him.

Having been brothers for so many years, Kui Yue naturally understood what Kui Liang meant. He put on an expression of sudden enlightenment and hurriedly left. Chen Ren didn't care about what his brother was doing. He drank a glass of farewell wine with Sima Hui and the others. Although Kui Liang kept urging Chen Ren to wait for a while, he still took the package from the servant and dragged Guo Jia away. They left Water Mirror Manor and headed north.

Along the way, neither of them spoke. Guo Jia looked around from time to time, then glanced at Chen Ren beside her. She opened her mouth several times but no words came out. Chen Ren naturally noticed Guo Jia's actions, but he didn't say anything out loud. Instead, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.

Not long after, the rumbling sound of horse hooves came from behind the two of them. Guo Jia's expression changed as she muttered, "They're coming!"

Chen Ren, on the other hand, did not have any reaction. He had expected this to happen. Naturally, when Kui Yue returned to the city, he did not bring any fine wine. However, Chen Ren was very interested in their master's identity. It was obvious that he was not the current Mu Liubiao from Jing Prefecture. After all, Liu Biao had only just stabilized his position in Jing Prefecture, so he didn't have the power to drive the Qu brothers to do so many things for him. However, there was no mention of such things in history. Although Chen Ren had a general impression of this person's identity, he was still not sure.

Chen Ren was deep in thought, but his pursuers didn't slow down in the slightest. They quickly rushed up and surrounded Chen Ren and Guo Jia without a word. Chen Ren looked at the pursuers in front of him. All of them were black-armored riders riding fine Western Lion Horses. The leader was a bearded man with a steel spear in his hand.

"May I know what business you have in blocking this humble one's path?" Chen Ren said without panicking as he glanced at the steel spear.

"My master has heard of mister's great talents and wishes to invite mister to our manor for a gathering!" The leader's tone was ice-cold as he stared at Chen Ren as though he was looking at an object.

Chen Ren grinned and said, "It's a pity that I have something to do, so I can only ask a warrior to thank you for your kindness."

The man's eyes squinted as they shot out a beam of light. He snorted, "Then I'll be offending you!" With a pinch of his legs, he galloped his horse towards Chen Ren. In his opinion, Chen Ren was just a weak and gentle scholar, and wasn't he just about to grab him? "Although there was news that Chen Ren seemed to know some martial arts, judging from Chen Ren's thin and weak appearance, he was just a flunkey figure.

Although Chen Ren had long known that the other party would use force, his gaze still couldn't help but turn cold when he saw this man dashing towards him.
