In fact, even if Chen Zhong didn't kill them, they knew that Dong Zhuo wanted to kill Liu Bian. In other words, even if Chen Zhong didn't kill them, they would still be doomed. Not to mention them, even Chen Zhong might not be able to survive. After all, they weren't Dong Zhuo's men. They only dared to do so because of Dong Zhuo's power. Moreover, they were not as good as Chen Zhong. In the end, they would risk their lives to save him. Therefore, even if they died, Liu Bian wouldn't feel any heartache.
He changed into the eunuch's clothes, which fit him quite well. Although there were some blood stains on his body, the sky was already dark, so he shouldn't be able to see it. He walked to the bed and took out a bag and hid it in his arms. Liu Bian didn't bring anything with him, but this bag was the most important thing to him, the Imperial Seal. According to the mission given by the system, Liu Bian left Luoyang to protect the throne.
Therefore, when Dong Zhuo wanted to depose the Emperor in the morning court, Liu Bian retorted, leaving him speechless. Therefore, Liu Bian was still the Emperor. After leaving Luoyang, Dong Zhuo would definitely support Liu Xie as the Emperor. In this way, there was only one way to determine who was the Emperor, and that was the Imperial Seal. Whoever had the Imperial Seal would be the Emperor determined by the system. Only then could Liu Bian complete his task. Otherwise, Liu Bian would not want to carry this hot potato.
"Your Majesty... Pick up... What should we do next?" Chen Zhong asked in a trembling voice after seeing that Liu Bian had changed into his eunuch uniform. Liu Bian heard the voice and looked at the candles at the side. He walked forward and opened the gauze cover. He pulled down the gauze curtain at the side and pulled it up. The flames burned and quickly spread to the cloth at the side. Slowly, the wooden pillars began to burn. A moment later, the door of Liu Bian's bedroom opened.
"Not good! It's on fire, not good!" The fire began to grow stronger. Chen Zhong ran out of the bedroom with a dirty face. Liu Bian followed closely behind with his head lowered. Chen Zhong shouted loudly with a duck's voice. Immediately, a large number of soldiers were attracted outside. The leading soldier asked repeatedly. "What happened? Why is there a fire?"
"Don't ask so many questions.。Hurry up and put out the fire. His Majesty and General Wang Fang are still inside!”Chen Zhong hurriedly said. The soldiers did not dare to be negligent when they heard this. They quickly gathered people to bring water buckets to put out the fire. At the same time, they instructed Chen Zhong to find people from the palace to put out the fire. Chen Zhong naturally agreed and left with Liu Bian. The news of the Changle Palace on fire immediately spread throughout the Imperial City.
Everyone was in a panic. No one knew that Fatty Dong had given Liu Bian poisoned wine to kill him. Therefore, to the people in the palace, Liu Bian was still the Emperor. It was a big deal that the Emperor's residence was on fire. At this time, Chen Zhong took advantage of the chaos and led Liu Bian out of the palace. Soon, they arrived at the gate of Weiyang Palace. The general guarding the city was also a subordinate of Dong Zhuo. His name was Li Meng, and he was a lieutenant under Dong Zhuo.
"Stop! Who are you?" Seeing that the two of them were still looking out of the city gate in the middle of the night, it was naturally impossible to let them in at will. Moreover, they all knew that Dong Xiangguo had something important to do tonight, so it was even more impossible for him to let people in and out at will. They immediately stopped the two of them. Liu Bian quickly lowered his head. In ancient times, it was common for servants to lower their heads to others, so it would not arouse suspicion. Although Chen Zhong was afraid, he forced himself to be bold.
"Yes... General Li! This servant is Chen Zhong, the general manager of the Emperor's internal affairs. Today, I am carrying out Dong Xiangguo's orders and am about to leave the city to report to Dong Xiangguo!”Although Chen Zhong was anxious, he did not dare to show too much and reveal any flaws. When Li Meng heard that it was Chen Zhong, his eyes lit up. "So it's Eunuch Chen, haha! Eunuch Chen has made a great contribution today. I believe the Prime Minister will reward him handsomely.”
"No, no, General, you have done a great job in protecting the Imperial Palace.”When Chen Zhong heard this, he responded naturally. It could be seen that even though he was a eunuch, he was very slick. When Li Meng heard this, he was naturally overjoyed. This flattery was just right. He immediately said humbly. "Haha! There is no hardship in working for the Prime Minister. However, if Eunuch Chen gains any benefits in the future, don't forget us brothers who are guarding the city!”
"Of course, of course. General Li is still waiting for this servant to report.。。”Not to mention Chen Zhong, even Liu Bian was cursing in his heart. Dong Zhuo was really a crooked person. He could even call a eunuch brother for benefits. He didn't know that Liu Bian looked down on eunuchs. After all, many eunuchs were forced to live. However, after the death of the Ten Attendants, the status of eunuchs had long become extremely low.
"Haha! Of course, let them pass! Eunuch Chen, please!" In an instant, Li Meng seemed to be very forthright as he gave the order to let them pass. The city gates opened wide, and Chen Zhong immediately led Liu Bian out of the city. This was only the Imperial City of Weiyang Palace. There was still a long way to go before they reached Luoyang City! However, after leaving the palace, Xun You had already taken care of everything.
Liu Bian and Chen Zhong left the city together. When they arrived outside the city, Chen Zhong's clothes were already thoroughly tattered. He was afraid that he would accidentally reveal a flaw and die under Li Meng's knife. At this moment, not long after Liu Bian and Chen Zhong left, a person rode over on a horse. When Li Meng saw the person, he hurriedly went forward and knelt on one knee. "General Zhang, why are you here?"
"General Li, why did you open the city gate?" The man was dressed in black armor and rode on a gray horse. He held a long sword and his face was yellow. He was one of the most trusted generals under Lu Bu. He was Zhang Liao and Zhang Wenyuan. They were originally Ding Yuan's subordinates. Later, Lu Bu submitted to Dong Zhuo, so they followed Lu Bu. Now, they were in Dong Zhuo's camp as Commandant of Cavalry. Commandant of Cavalry was in charge of the Royal Guards. The Royal Guards were also known as the Imperial Guards. They were responsible for the safety of the palace. Therefore, it was not strange for Zhang Liao to appear again.
"Reporting to General, it was the Minister of Internal Affairs, Eunuch Chen, who was ordered by the Prime Minister to do something, so he was allowed to go!”Li Meng didn't dare to be negligent. Zhang Liao was a valiant general under Lu Bu. Although Dong Zhuo didn't dare to give Lu Bu any real power, Lu Bu was still Dong Zhuo's adopted son. With his status, Li Meng didn't dare to offend him. Moreover, Zhang Liao's official position was higher than his.
"Hmm? Does he have the Prime Minister's token?" Zhang Liao asked coldly. Although he was under Dong Zhuo's command, Zhang Liao was an upright man and did not have a good impression of the Western Liang Army. He was only able to work under Dong Zhuo because he was Lu Bu's follower. He didn't like these people, guiding them to do things was no different from burning, killing, and robbing bandits. "This is…I didn't show it!"
