Chapter 59 Out of the City
Zhong Pingyuan thought that the Chitu stopped outside Situ's mansion, and he hadn't tied the reins, so he should have run back to Lu Bu's hands.

Unexpectedly, after stepping out of the mansion, he saw Chitu leisurely shaking its ponytail in the corner, showing no sign of leaving voluntarily.

"Could it be that you can really understand people's words, and let me ride for a day?"

Zhong Ping patted the Chitu horse's neck, teased him bitterly, and then got on the horse neatly. He knew that Wu Qiong belonged to Wang Yun's party. Diao Chan suggested that he ask Wu Qiong for help, so he could see that he was in Wang Yun's heart , is a trustworthy object.

It's just that Zhong Ping and Wu Qiong have very little acquaintance. His impression of Wu Qiong is still that the other party is a member of his father's "Assassin Dong Tiantuan".

Even the father with such a "solitary" character would always think of Wu Qiong when planning such a big event as the assassination of Dong, and this person's character is evident.

Zhong Ping tried his best to recall the location of the Northern Army. He knew a lot about the lanes in Chang'an City, but Zhong Ping really didn't know where the guards and lieutenants were.

After all, Dong Cheng and others were watching him very closely. Since he had handed over the military power and lost his job, and wanted to be a scribe with no desires or desires, he naturally tried to separate himself from the army...

Zhongping sighed.

Now he only hopes that Wu Qiong will listen to his advice and send troops to quell the chaos because of Diao Chan's letter and his father's friendship...

He didn't think that Wu Qiong would let himself be a brat to command, and Zhong Ping didn't have that desire either. He just hoped that the city would stabilize soon and nothing would happen to his father.

Although Zhong Ping was thinking about how to persuade Wu Qiong to enter the palace to serve the king, he also devoted part of his mind to paying attention to whether there were sounds of fighting nearby.

The turmoil in the city seems to be concentrated in the middle street. From Wang Yun's mansion to now, Zhong Ping has rarely felt the peace of Chang'an in ordinary times.

No wonder there was no disturbance in Situ's mansion.

To flatten the secret passage.

It seems that the rioters in the city were really Xiliang who surrendered their troops.

Alas, Dong Cheng is really eager to take power, so can he rest easy after defeating Zhang Ji and Fan Chou?

The foreign enemy has not yet been determined, so Liu Xie still has a faint sense of fueling the flames when he is fighting for power and profit like this. Such a court...

"Boheng! But Boheng?"

Zhong Ping was brought back to his thoughts by the sudden call, he reined in the reins, with a sense of guard in his heart.

Without him, this voice was too unfamiliar, and he didn't remember any interaction with the owner of this voice.

"Ah, it really is Boheng."

The man showed excitement, and stopped in front of the red rabbit with a defenseless attitude.

The alertness in Zhong Ping's eyes became lighter, but he didn't get off his horse, and he didn't respond with a word, just waiting for him to introduce himself.

"The son of Tai Chang Zhong Fu, the doctor Zhong Shao, met Tai Shi Ling."

Chong Shao simply wore a gray brocade robe with no ornamentation on it, looking very simple and capable, followed by two attendants dressed as servants.

In all honesty, Zhong said it was really strange. After staying in Chang'an for nearly a year, he didn't see as many people as today.

Thinking in this way, he realized that there seemed to be some kind of kinship relationship between himself and this kind of Shao?

But in the past, I had never heard of Zhong Ji, and I had never seen Zhong Fu and his son come to visit.

Thinking about the relationship between Zhong Ji and Zhong Fu, it may not be very close, maybe they are just distant relatives?
Zhong Ping couldn't help feeling somewhat hesitant.

"...a doctor?"

Zhong Shao heard an extremely alienated voice, hesitated to speak, and finally didn't say anything more about it.

"The soldiers in the city are in turmoil, why did Boheng leave the mansion here?"

Zhong Ping couldn't tell whether Zhong Shao was an enemy or a friend, so he rode on the red rabbit horse reservedly, with no intention of dismounting.

"Ping heard the hustle and bustle outside, so he went out of the mansion to check."

Zhong Ping answered carefully, without revealing his intention to find Wu Qiong.

"Shao Zheng is going to Wei Wei to find Yang Shizhong, and ask him to lead troops to quell the chaos. If Boheng wants to..."

Zhong Shao suggested seriously: "I don't know if Boheng heard about the commotion of soldiers at the Dongcheng Gate a few days ago?"

"At that time, Xun Shilang felt something strange, but he suffered from the lack of evidence, and the captain of Chengmen was also a relative of the uncle of the country, so it was difficult to speak out."

"So I only discussed it with my father in private, please pay more attention to Wu Qiong, the captain of the Yueqi School..."

Zhong Shao shook his head slightly.

"Now it seems that Xun Shilang did have the foresight, but unfortunately he was still a step too late and failed to preemptively strike."

Zhong Ping didn't expect that Xun You had already laid out Wu Qiong's dark move so many days in advance, and he was a little more sure about entering the palace in his heart.

He knew Xun You's character, and if Zhong Fu and his son were not trustworthy, he would never have revealed any doubts about the city's defenses.

It seems that this kind of Shao is someone who can be trusted.

Thinking of this, Zhong Ping kindly advised Zhong Shao: "It is not only Zhang Ji who led Xiliang soldiers in the city to plot rebellion, but also Lu Bu who turned his back on the imperial court and led troops into the city."

He paused for a moment, with a stern expression on his face: "I usually think that these two people are all interested in His Majesty."

"Now that Chang'an is in such a state of chaos, there may be some high-ranking people in the court pushing behind it... If the doctor doesn't go directly to the Northern Army's garrison, don't go looking for Yang Shizhong."

Zhong Xun's complexion changed drastically.

"Lu Bu returned to Chang'an?!"

He muttered to himself: "... Li Jue is outside, and Lu Bu leads troops into the city at this time, if he returns victorious and sees the riots in the city, he should immediately lead his troops to suppress it."

"But now there is no news coming..."

Chong Shao's expression was complicated, he didn't want to believe that Lu Bu was really against the imperial court as Zhong Ping said, but the situation in the city had reached this point, so he couldn't help but not believe it.

"So it looks like Lu Bu is colluding with Li Jue?"

He lowered his head and paced back and forth several times before raising his head, as if he had made up his mind: "...the chaos in Chang'an can't be put down by relying on the guards in the city. If you can get out of Chang'an, maybe there is still a glimmer of hope." .”

"The most urgent task is to contact Lieutenant Wu and protect His Majesty!"

Zhong Ping couldn't help being annoyed when he heard that Zhong Shao's words hinted that he was about to flee.

He was full of thoughts about how Xun You and others were all facing Zhang Ji Bingfeng in the palace.

If it weren't for him being somewhat rational, he would have the heart to rush straight into the palace now, but Zhong Shao wanted to persuade him to leave Chang'an, and it hit Zhongping's wound, how could Zhongping not be angry.

"If Lang Zhong wants to go out of the city, he can leave alone. Ping will take the letter to find Captain Wu, and he has no time to talk to Lang Zhong. Please also ask Lang Zhong to leave the horse and not be hurt by Lie Ma."

Zhong Ping turned to Zhong Shao with a cold face, and tightened his grip on the reins.

Zhong Shao was a little helpless, he knew that Zhong Ping was stubborn, even if Zhong Ping was in crisis, Zhong Ping would never ignore Zhong Ping and escape alone.

He couldn't help but think of Xun You's evaluation of Zhongping.

"One man's strength is nothing more than a mantis arm as a cart. Why did Tai Shiling hit the south wall?"

Zhong Shao wanted to persuade him again.

"You don't need to say too much, the doctor has made up his mind."

Zhong Ping was too lazy to talk nonsense with Zhong Shao, so he turned his horse's head and prepared to bypass Zhong Shao.

"Since that's the case, please dismount Taishiling. I have a handwritten letter from Xun Shilang, which I want to hand over to Taishiling."

Zhong Ping was taken aback, but didn't think much about it.

"I don't know what it is..."

He had just dismounted and had not yet stood still.

"Captain Wu..."

Zhong Shao suddenly called out behind Zhong Ping.

Zhong Ping turned his head subconsciously, only felt a pain in the back of his neck, and his eyes darkened, and he lost consciousness.

With sharp eyes and quick hands, Zhong Shao supported Zhong Ping's body that was about to fall.

"I also acted helplessly...Boheng don't blame him."

He heaved a long sigh, in fact, according to his seniority, Zhong Ping should call him "cousin", and Zhong Ji is not as cold as Zhong Ping thought, with Zhong Fu and his son.

Zhong Shao couldn't help but recall that when Zhong Ji planned to assassinate Dong, he visited Zhong Fu alone in the middle of the night.

Zhong Ji is an upright character who rarely asks for help. It is probably the only time in his life that he goes around asking relatives and friends. If one day, he encounters an accident, he must take care of him for his sake.

At that time, he told Chong Fu that although the Chong clan originated in Henan, the clan was sparsely populated and had nothing to rely on in the ancestral land.

If the two of them were in trouble and their descendants would be implicated, returning home would be the next best option.

Along the way, the uncontrollable risk is too high, once the trace is leaked, it is easy to suffer disaster.

It would be better to go to Yingchuan.

One is that he and Xun You have been close friends for many years, and there are members of the Xun clan who can rely on; two, Yingchuan is outstanding, and he can find good teachers and friends to accompany him; safe haven.

When Xun You expected that there might be soldiers in the city who were in trouble, in order to be prepared and prepared in advance to keep Zhongping safe, he wrote several letters privately, asking his uncle Xun Yu to take care of Zhongping.

Although he wrote the letter, he was cautious by nature and didn't think he would really use it.

No matter how foresighted he was, he couldn't predict that Zhang Ji would force the palace...

Chong Shao pushed Zhong Ping onto the back of the red rabbit horse, pondered for a moment, then took out Diao Chan's handwriting from Zhong Ping's arms, turned around and ordered the two Xun family servants to take Zhong Ping out of the city.

Chituma snorted, as if he also understood the situation at this time, he was not as resistant as he was when he faced Yang Qi, and let the two hold the reins and lead them back into the deep alley.

On the other side, Yang Qi, who Zhong Shao was still hoping to ask for help, was in a state of desperation.

"General! The enemy army is so powerful that it is difficult for us to fight against it! For the current plan, the only way is to retreat to the lane first, and then plan to counterattack!"

Listening to the lieutenant general's report, Yang Qi leaned against the earthen wall, unable to maintain a calm expression on his face, he gritted his lower teeth, and asked angrily: "When Tai Shiling was guarding the city, there was never any arrangement in the city. ?!"

He went to the doctor in a hurry. Although Guo Si was coming in menacingly, with Lu Bu's knowledge, Yang Qi shouldn't be in such a mess.

However, he never expected that he had just prepared his generals and led the troops outside Weiyang Palace, intending to break into it and save the emperor from danger.

Zhang Ji seemed to have expected it, and stood on the Xuanping City Tower early, read out Liu Xie's edict, and identified the Xiliang soldiers who conspired under his command as "loyal and loyal soldiers, diligent soldiers of the king".

If Yang Qi led the troops into the palace again, Zhang Ji would not let Zhang Ji say anything, but he would be branded as a rebel, so he had to retreat in resentment.

And outside the palace gate, waiting for Yang Qi were Guo Bang and others who were attracted by Wang Fang intentionally or unintentionally.

"Tai Shiling did set up traps such as vegetation, kerosene, etc. in the lanes for later use. It's just that most of these arrangements were abandoned and left unattended for the repair of the city wall. If the general wants to counterattack with this, he can only touch Luck, see if you can find some leftovers!"

After Yang Qi heard this, he slammed his right hand on the earthen wall, almost gnashing his teeth. Is there anything more painful than being stabbed in the back by one of his own people, leading to a complete defeat?

"The Han Dynasty is about to perish, starting from the party struggle!"
