Chapter 104: Shadow of Turmoil
Although everyone thought that nothing serious would happen, they still sat there obediently.
If we miss some first-hand information, it would be a waste of time. Besides, it’s great for everyone to get together and communicate with each other.
As they chatted, the group started talking about Guo Hao.
After all, Qian Shuo, Guo Hao and Yuan Shao were the only ones not present. Do we have to gossip about other people in front of someone present?
Speaking of this, Dong Zhuo and Lu Bu are no longer sleepy, as they are both die-hard fans of Guo Hao.
There was an endless stream of praise for Guo Hao, and as they talked, the two of them even developed some resonance.
Dong Zhuo couldn't help but think of adopting a son again, but since Lu Bu was at the same level as him, the idea only flashed through his mind and then he put it aside.
He is not sick, they are all at the same level. Wouldn't it be offensive to say such things? Why would he create an enemy for himself out of thin air?
But for no apparent reason, Dong Zhuo felt a sense of relief, as if he had escaped some life-threatening catastrophe.
"Report!"
A spy rushed into the hall, tumbling and crawling, looking extremely anxious. If the information was not difficult to shout out loudly, he would have started shouting long ago.
"Hurry up and tell me." Seeing that something was wrong with the spy, everyone couldn't help but take it seriously.
"General He Jin led his troops into the palace. Lord Yuan Shao and Lord Ding Yuan entered the palace with the general, saying that they wanted to purge the emperor's entourage and get rid of the eunuch party."
"How dare you, you traitor!"
Liu Bei was furious and immediately ordered his troops to enter the palace to stop He Jin and others.
The actions of He Jin and others clearly showed that they did not take the Liu royal family seriously. How could a royal descendant who was deeply favored by the emperor not be furious?
"Yunchang, Yide, quickly select the troops and follow me into the palace."
"Lord Xuande, let's go together, let's go together!" Lu Bu and others also responded.
“No!” Dong Zhuo was older after all, and looked confused at ordinary times, but when things came to a point, he was actually the calmest one.
"We are the leaders of the eight schools in Xiyuan. The situation in the palace is unclear. If we act rashly, we may fall into someone else's trap. If we send troops into the palace at night, it will be a capital crime!"
Cao Cao nodded and said, "The situation is still unclear. It would be unwise for us to send troops rashly , but it is also a good idea for all the troops to gather first."
Liu Bei also calmed down. There were still Yulin Guards in the palace, so even if someone rebelled, it would be impossible to achieve their goal quickly.
They are already being attacked because they hold military power. If they are misled by someone with ulterior motives, they will be unable to defend themselves.
Besides, General He Jin's plan to purge the court sounds very fantastic. It would not be too late to find out the situation first before sending troops.
Just then, Wang Yue rushed into the hall and handed Dong Zhuo the letter Jia Xu gave him.
"Hua Xiong and Niu Fu, quickly select the troops and follow me into the palace!" After reading the letter, Dong Zhuo jumped up as if his butt was on fire and ran outside in panic.
"Mr. Dong, what happened?" Lu Bu asked as he grabbed Dong Zhuo who was rushing out.
"That old fellow He Jin really rebelled. Our Majesty has passed away, and Pengju and the others are now trapped in the palace!" Dong Zhuo couldn't break free and quickly finished speaking the contents of the letter.
Now everyone in the hall could no longer sit still, not only because He Jin was rebelling, but also because Guo Hao was in danger.
Just like Ding Yuan was Yuan Huai's disciple, if we had to say it, everyone present could be considered a disciple of Guo Hao and Huangfu Song.
Besides, Guo Hao was really nice to them on weekdays, and most of the fame and honors of Lu Bu and others were obtained by Guo Hao for them.
As for Xu Huang and others, they were even more panicked, because Guo Hao was their formal lord.
Seeing that everyone set off one after another, Wang Yue also headed towards the palace. Jia Xu had other tasks to assign to him.
On the other side, Jia Xu was smiling sinisterly, while Dian Wei was scratching his head beside him, totally unable to understand Jia Xu's series of actions.
The lord was clearly trapped in the palace, why not let him go to the palace to protect the lord.
Jia Xu glanced at Dian Wei, who was scratching his head beside him, without explaining much.
"Believe me, the Lord is safe and sound. You still have more important tasks to do!"
Dian Wei nodded. Jia Xu was a smart man. Guo Hao asked him to follow Jia Xu's arrangements, so he would listen to Jia Xu.
Jia Xu looked at Zhang Rang and others who appeared not far away and couldn't help but smile with satisfaction.
Lord Guo Hao has many shortcomings, acts on impulse and has no political strategy, but he is sincere enough that even someone like him who is good at self-preservation can't help but serve him wholeheartedly.
When people communicate with each other, those who are attentive are the most difficult to understand. Putting himself in their shoes, how could Jia Xu not be moved?
Jia Xu called himself a ruthless scholar, but Guo Hao gave him too much. He gave him complete power and trusted him completely.
People are all made of flesh and blood, and Jia Xu is not a heartless person.
He was the one who did what Guo Hao didn't want to do; he was the one who thought of what Guo Hao couldn't think of; even if Guo Hao blamed him afterwards, he would have no regrets.
Thinking back to the last time he tricked Guo Hao and Dong Bai into getting engaged, although Guo Hao was extremely unhappy and blamed him madly, he never denied his decision.
"Elai, go up and keep them all."
…
"General, the Queen invites you to enter the palace!"
The eunuch stopped in front of He Jin and invited him respectfully.
He Jin was very confused. Why did his sister call him for help at this time?
"The Queen invited me here. Is there something important?"
The eunuch was very calm. He shook his head and said, "How can we, the servants, know what the Queen is thinking? But the Queen said that something good is coming. Please, General, come to the palace quickly and don't miss the opportunity."
He Jin thought about it and wondered where that little bastard Liu Xie had hidden and he couldn't find him. Since he had nothing else to do, he might as well go and see his sister.
"Wait, could it be that little brat Liu Xie is in my sister's hands?"
He Jin suddenly had an idea and thought of a possibility.
"Hurry, hurry, lead the way!"
He Jin was very excited and immediately asked the eunuch to lead the way.
This is indeed a good thing. It seems that my sister is not staying in this palace for nothing... After all, we are a family, and she will not let him down.
"Well done, what's your name?"
"I, Huang Hao, hope the general will take good care of me in the future."
He Jin smiled and said, "Huang Hao, huh? Well done, I will reward you greatly later."
"Thank you for the reward, General... General, please leave quickly. If you leave too late, the Queen will probably not be happy."
"That's right, go, go!"
He Jin followed Huang Hao and hurried forward to a palace in the imperial palace. He strode into the palace with his head held high.
He Jin did not bring his men with him. After all, this was his sister's place, and he couldn't let those reckless men do whatever they wanted.
But when He Jin walked into the palace, he did not see his sister.
Inside the huge palace, only Zhang Rang, Zhao Zhong and others looked at him with a sneer.
