Chapter 93: Prince Liu Bian
On this day, when the camp of the eight schools in Xiyuan was training, a gorgeous carriage drove towards the camp.
Leading the team was Wang Yue, and the convoy displayed a royal demeanor.
The carriage stopped in front of the camp and a frail young man got out. Although he was frail, his body was not thin, he just looked a little delicate.
"Stop, this is a military training ground, no outsiders are allowed to approach."
When the convoy approached the camp gate, the soldiers on duty stopped it in time.
Before Wang Yue could speak, a eunuch with a shrill voice shouted, "Damn peasants, you dare to stop the prince's carriage."
As he spoke, he wanted to hit the soldiers who were blocking the way, looking arrogant and domineering.
I thought the soldiers would kneel down and apologize in fear, but instead they raised their weapons, pointed at him and shouted at him.
"If you take another step forward, don't blame me for being rude."
"The general has ordered that anyone who trespasses on the training grounds will be killed!"
The humane spirit in the camp rose into the air, and Wang Yue felt his body sinking, as if he had been mostly suppressed.
"Rebellion, rebellion, you all rebelled!"
The young eunuch was trembling all over, obviously unable to believe that a mere soldier dared to speak to him like that. Didn't all the high-ranking officials in the past have to call him eunuch?
The handsome young man's face was a little pale. The murderous aura emanating from the soldiers made him tremble constantly. There was a hint of fear between his brows, and he leaned towards Wang Yue involuntarily.
Wang Yue smiled bitterly. He had already thought of this situation before he came.
"Prince Bian, please allow me to go and explain a few things."
The young eunuch wanted to reprimand, but under the murderous aura of the soldiers, he could not say a word.
Wang Yue jumped off his horse and walked over on foot. He took out the token given by Guo Hao and said, "Please inform the General of Cavalry that my old friend Wang Yue is bringing the prince to the military camp for observation."
Wang Yue was a little helpless. He really didn't want to get involved in this mess, but the reward given by Queen He was too much.
Empress He found a secret scroll from somewhere that could help him return to his roots and make up for his early shortcomings.
After witnessing Lu Bu's divine power, the originally silent heart had to raise the idea of challenging again even at his age like Wang Yue. He originally thought that the internal energy leaving the body was the limit, but he didn't expect that there was still a way to go in the future. Now there is hope to make up for the past shortcomings, so naturally he has to try his best.
Wang Yue, who was in the palace, naturally understood what Queen He meant. He could only do this kind of thing that openly went against the emperor's wishes once, and he estimated that he would be expelled from the palace next.
But... Beiliang might be a good place.
Wang Yue remembered Guo Hao's promise and couldn't help but have some expectations.
"I'm sorry for failing to welcome you, Prince Xie." Guo Hao came quickly. He thought that Wang Yue brought Liu Xie here according to Liu Hong's instructions.
The young eunuch recovered and said sarcastically: "The General of the Cavalry has such great power, but he only has Prince Xie in his eyes, not Prince Bian!"
Guo Hao was stunned. Jia Xu said that if a prince came to visit, it must be Liu Hong's intention, so he asked him to have more contact with Liu Xie in advance.
Wang Yue stepped forward and said, "Marquis Beiliang, I am here to visit you with Prince Bian on the orders of the Queen."
Guo Hao came to his senses and warmly welcomed the few people into the military camp, holding Wang Yue tightly the whole time.
The young eunuch kept on talking all the way: "From the soldiers guarding the gate to Guo Hao."
"How dare you insult my master!"
Dian Wei glared and put his pressure on the young eunuch, who had never experienced such a situation before.
He felt as if he was being stared at by a prehistoric beast, and he couldn't help but roll his eyes and fainted.
"Dian Wei must not be rude. You guys take him away." Guo Hao smiled indifferently and didn't take the little eunuch seriously at all.
Even Zhang Rang, one of the Ten Eunuchs, didn't dare to speak to him like that. How could a mere eunuch be so presumptuous? He was simply courting death.
Guo Hao didn't know this. The young eunuch was named Gao Wang and was a close associate of Empress He. He was on good terms with Zhang Rang and others. After the position of the Ten Attendants became vacant, he was integrated into the group.
Gao Wang was used to being arrogant in the palace, so it was inevitable that he would be a bit arrogant when he came to the military camp, but Guo Hao would never tolerate him.
After Guo Hao learned the purpose of Wang Yue's visit, he immediately started to inspect the troops on the training ground without saying a word.
After three drum beats, the soldiers in the camp rushed to the parade ground at lightning speed and lined up in an orderly manner.
For a moment, the entire training ground was filled with a murderous atmosphere.
Guo Hao looked at the sky and asked, "How many people are there?"
Xu Huang, the deputy lieutenant who was the military commander, stood up and reported loudly: "Your Excellency, there are a total of 800 people reporting for duty!"
"very good!"
"I wonder what you two think of the military appearance."
Seeing Guo Hao's kindness, which was as warm as the sun, Liu Bian couldn't help but feel a little relieved.
"General Huoqi is really amazing. My mother asked me to come and visit you today. It really opened my eyes."
Liu Bian looked at Guo Hao on the parade ground with some envy. He lived in a Taoist temple when he was young and lived in the harem when he grew up. The atmosphere of war and killing in the military camp made him feel extremely novel.
Although Guo Hao was not much older than him and looked like a teenager, Liu Hong often praised him and even asked other royal children to learn from Guo Hao.
Liu Bian still remembers that Liu Hong praised Guo Hao sparelessly at the banquet that day, as if Guo Hao was his son.
"If Prince Bian does not give up, you may call me Pengju."
"Brother Pengju, are these all the teams from the eight schools in Xiyuan?"
Liu Bian looked at the square formations gathered on the field with some confusion. He had also heard people mention the Eight Schools of Xiyuan, saying that there were more than 20,000 people, but how come it looked like there were only a few hundred people now?
"Prince Bian, you don't know that the eight schools are guarding the capital, and only a small number of troops have entered Luoyang to maintain the city's defense."
"Generally speaking, only a few hundred troops stay in the camp, and the rest of the troops entering the city assist in defense in various places in Luoyang City."
Guo Hao explained with a smile that this was Liu Hong's arrangement. On the one hand, it was to maintain the stability of Luoyang, and on the other hand, it was to prevent the Yellow Turban thugs from attacking the city.
The attack on the imperial palace by the Yellow Turban thugs left a deep impression on him. Although he escaped unscathed, he still had a scar in his heart.
Looking at Liu Bian's expression, Guo Hao understood why Jia Xu said that Liu Hong wanted to depose the eldest son and enthrone the youngest son.
Liu Bian looks 50% similar to Empress He. He is obviously a strong young man, but his appearance gives people a delicate feeling.
It would be fine if he was born in an ordinary family, but being born in the royal family, he is naturally not liked.
What's more, the fact that he looked like Empress He was the reason why he was favored since childhood.
However, ever since it was discovered that Empress He had poisoned the beauties in the harem, Liu Hong hated Empress He, and his face was also hated by Liu Hong.
