As he walked into the high palace wall, Li Su couldn't help but secretly look at the surrounding situation and defense.

Of course, his movements were very small, so he tried not to prevent the soldiers of the Jinwu Guard at the gate of the palace or the eunuchs who would pass by at any time to notice his strangeness.

The heavy palace gate behind him did not close immediately after Li Su passed, maybe it was because it was not completely dark.

This gave Li Su a little more or less some extra confidence: if He Jin entered the palace at this moment, the Ten Eternal Assassins would definitely close the door immediately and would never let you go to the next door and the next hall.

Since this is the case, it means that this time it is not necessarily targeted, or it may be just a trick. If you have dates or not, you must keep calm.

"Well, the palace wall is three meters high, but it is much thinner than the city wall. After all, it is just a "wall". There are no people standing on it. There are only archers on the Wei Que. However, the palace gate is very strong and not inferior to the city gate. It is even more luxuriously wrapped with so many copper nails and copper frames, and the back is strengthened so many horizontal iron plates.

If the palace gate is blocked and wants to escape, it would be better to ask Zilong to find a spear and throw it to me by throwing it over the wall. If you jump six meters high, you will not die. If you are lucky, you will be more likely to escape when you fall into the river outside. You just have to take off your iron armor in advance. You will have to drown if you don’t fall in the iron armor."

Li Su had already thought of two escape routes in her mind.

Well, by the way, the so-called "Wei Que" is the two observatory buildings like arrow towers at the entrance of the palace in costume dramas. Later, when Cao Pi wanted to forcefully approve the prophecy and divination saying "The Han Dynasty was the one who replaced the Han Dynasty", Hua Xin forced the explanation, saying that "Dangtu Gao" was "Wei".

After about ten minutes of turning, Li Su finally arrived at the harem. The eunuch who led the way politely led him to the door of a bedroom with a curtain hanging down. Zhao Yun was blocked outside the curtain, but he could see Li Su's back from a distance, so he was not afraid.

The bedroom is five rooms deep, about twenty meters deep, and Zhao Yun at the doorstep cannot hear the people inside unless he yells loudly.

"I will send the Chief Secretary Su to the Empress Dowager." Li Su was cautious and was still twenty steps away from him and bowed to the ground to salute, not daring to look up.

"Come near! I'll ask the Ai family to tell you at the top of my voice?" Empress Dowager He whispered lazily, and Li Su had to go forward ten steps. The Empress Dowager was still dissatisfied and took five steps forward until he was five steps apart.

Queen Mother He then giggled with satisfaction: "There are so many people around, what are you afraid of? Hold your head up? I have heard that you are the youngest general of the Central Army in this dynasty. How old is it? When I went to court to read the reward, I had seen it from afar, letting the Ai family see you."

"I dare not be the queen mother to praise me. I am twenty-one years old. There are more than a few sages who have been sent out earlier than me in this dynasty. Dong Xian was the Grand Sima 21, Huo Qubing was the General of the Central Army at the age of nineteen, and 22 were the General of the Cavalry. My achievements are not worth mentioning, all depend on the court's kindness." Li Su was modest, but he had to raise his head with a solemn expression, but let his eyes still look at the floor.

"No wonder, no wonder it represents the decentness of the court. After the powerful and powerful people, I sent envoys to comfort the barbarians, so I should choose Li Zhonglang."

Zhao Zhong echoed while whispering: "I have written it down, Empress Dowager, don't forget the serious matter..."

Empress Dowager He was originally a little soft-hearted, and was summoned by the Shi Changshi to summon Li Su to ask questions. She herself didn't care who was leading soldiers in the capital. So a woman's gossip was natural and she was persuaded to ask about the serious matter first, which immediately made her a little unhappy, but seeing Shi Changshi begging her so much, she reluctantly said:

"Li Su, I heard that you brought thousands of cavalry from the General of the West to the Capital? Did my brother ask you to bring it? The law of the ancestors, it is better to have less foreign generals in the defense of the capital. Are you willing to enrich these troops and horses? I will choose someone else to take charge of it. You can avoid suspicion. If you make contributions in the future, you will naturally be indispensable."

Li Su was shocked: Damn? Who thought of this trick? It’s so poisonous!

Some people actually took advantage of the reputation of "Li Su and Liu Bei are absolutely loyal to the court, directly loyal to the supreme ruler, and will not form cliques" to put them in a situation where they are in a difficult situation!

After all, if any other general is replaced, facing such a scenario, it will definitely mean that "the general will not accept the orders of the outside king" and that "the outsider cannot command the insider, and only the general will be obeyed by the military."

Li Su even had some secret hatred. He Jin summoned him to Beijing and was such a bad move! We are not your direct confidant, so you can help me in Beijing! (Although Dong Zhuo is even more unfaithful)

There is no way, this matter must be rejected, otherwise the historical trend will collapse and be out of control and cannot be used.

Li Su's choice was limited. After weighing the weights, he said: "I was naturally willing to obey the imperial edict. However... the troops I brought to the capital have been handed over to Shangshu Lu. If I asked me to convey to Shangshu again, I would inevitably have many troubles. I was afraid that the Empress Dowager would miss the deadline. It would be better to directly summon Shangshu Lu to the palace for ban... "

"You... have you handed over the military power to Lu Zhi?" Zhao Zhong was so shocked that he couldn't help but cross the empress dowager. After all, he had never seen a general who took the initiative to hand over the temporary command of his private soldiers for so many years.

Which general in the world doesn’t want to be self-respecting? No matter how loyal Huangfu Song is, he hopes!

Empress Dowager He couldn't help but feel slightly moved and praised her for a few words of praise.

But Li Su was very dissatisfied with his answer. Seeing that Empress Dowager He was rejected and even chatting with him, he couldn't help but wonder if he was making up his mind and whether the knife and axe masters formed by eunuchs were ambushed on both sides...

How could he know that Queen Mother He had just been a widow for half a year and wanted to find someone to talk about gossip.

"Li Su, why are you shaking? Come on, Xiao Xiu, give him a sweat towel!" Empress Dowager He asked the palace maid next to him to wipe Li Su's sweat.

Li Su tried his best to keep his voice steady: "The Empress Dowager... It's too late, and I'm not suitable for me to stay in the inner palace for a long time, so I'm afraid. Please forgive me for my crime of losing my manners. If nothing happens, I won't disturb the Empress Dowager for rest."

Queen Mother He couldn't help but say, "Are you still afraid of women? You are twenty-one years old, are you married? You are not a few years older than my niece."

Li Su's heart skipped a beat and thought to himself if he said he had never married at this time, what if Empress Dowager He had a whim and had another slight gusto to protect the media?

The relationship with Cai Yan cannot be revealed, so he gritted his teeth and said: "I have already made an engagement with the Zhen family, a prominent Zhongshan clan, but the military affairs officer has not finished his marriage."

The last excuse finally saved Li Su's life. Empress Dowager He was interrupted by her interest in gossiping and chatting about protecting the media and let him go.

Li Su felt that the inner side of her iron armor was soaked in sweat.

Looking at Li Su away, Zhang Rang turned around from a side hall next to him and met Zhao Zhong who had just sent him out: "I didn't expect that he would give Lu Zhi command without reservation. I'm afraid this person would be unable to count on him.

When the Empress Dowager was chatting with him, I had already made a quick decision to call the general to enter the palace, and immediately ambushed all the swords and axes in the Jiade Hall."

Zhao Zhong nodded and added worriedly: "I see that Li Su's words were trembling in the end. He could not see through the ambushing swordsman, right? It's time for this, you can't take risks. If He Jin comes in again after he goes out, He Jin will be tortured halfway through and reveal clues, it would be unbeautiful. Do you want it...well?"

Zhao Zhong gestured in a hand knife posture to silence him.

Zhang Rang nodded indifferently: "It's better to be the first priority. If there are signs of fighting in the palace first, it may also be alarmed. Li Su kills or not kills, the key is that he cannot give He Jin any message.

I think He Jin is almost here, and Li Su cannot enter the Jiade Hall. The north gate of Jiade Hall has been blocked, so he can only take a detour. Just don’t run into He Jin anyway, before He enters the palace, the palace gate is not allowed to open, no one is allowed to go out, and no one is allowed to stay outside the palace gate!"

It’s not that Zhang Rang couldn’t kill Li Su, but he was afraid that killing Li Su would lead to He Jin’s alertness. Wouldn’t he pick up sesame seeds and throw away the watermelon?

...

When Li Su took Zhao Yun and quickly returned to the north gate of Jiade Hall, he found a warrior guarding there and told him to walk around the corridor of Dongpian Hall.

Li Su's heart became tighter and tighter, but he didn't say anything. He took Zhao Yun and took a detour quickly. He waited until he turned over the corner on the east side before he continued to accelerate.

However, before he could finish the corridor of the East Partition Hall, Zhao Yun suddenly grabbed him and whispered: "It seems that someone has entered the palace in front of the south gate of Jiade Hall. Isn't he the general?"

Li Su was shocked: "You have such a good look? This is not something you and I can care about. Just pretend you didn't see it, let's go our own."

He is worthy of being a famous cavalry and shooting general who passes through Yang with a hundred steps, and his vision is amazing. He Jin's rapid offensive speed obviously means that after Zhang Rang knew that Li Su could not hand over the military power, he immediately forged an imperial edict to Xuan He entered the palace. He didn't wait for one to go out and recruit another one!

It's so calculating! It's just to prevent the person who went out first and asked those who came in later! Now, Li Su can't remind He Jin at all, "Don't enter the palace, it's dangerous here" (Li Su of course didn't want to remind He Jin, but Zhang Rang thought he would, so he had to be careful)

Li Su controlled the rhythm just in time and confirmed that he would not run into He Jin, then he quickly rushed to the south gate of the palace.

Before reaching the south gate, there were one or two inner gates in the middle. The guards were very complicated. When Li Su rushed to the first gate, he took out the imperial edict summoned by Empress Dowager He, saying that he had been summoned. The Empress Dowager told him to leave the palace as soon as possible to avoid damage to the reputation of the palace.

The first guards at the inner gate were not as high-ranking officials of the Ten Generals. They didn't know the conspiracy tonight, so they let them go after seeing the summoning imperial decree.

Li Su relied on such a boldness to open two inner doors and went all the way to the inside of the south gate.

There seemed to be noisy people and horses outside the door, and Li Su was getting more and more hope of life. He knew that those soldiers were brought by Cao Cao and Yuan Shao to protect He Jin, but were stopped at the palace gate.

But it was precisely because Yuan Shao was leading troops outside that the guards of this door were much stricter than those of the inner door. Li Su once again took out the token of summoning the imperial edict and summoning to the other party, and wanted to trick the city gate, but the other party always refused:

"Please atone for your sins! I have received the order of the Chief Secretary Zhang. I will not allow the special envoy to come to announce that the door can be opened tonight. This door must not be opened again! Please ask the Chief Secretary to rest and wait! Maybe the special envoy of the Chief Secretary Zhang will come to lift the access control soon."

Li Su was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan, and he didn't dare to use force directly. He didn't know if Yuan Shaojun at the door was impatient and was ready to rush in to rescue He Jin. If it was too early and if Yuan Shao and others opened the city gate, wouldn't he have become Li Su's man who killed the palace guards and became the first to come?

Zhao Yun also shouted for him: "Don't shoot arrows outside! We were also murdered by the Ten Eunuchs!"

There was no plan to use force immediately outside, and Zhao Yun's voice was so cautious that he was unnecessary, but Li Su felt it was very helpful, so he finally hid in the group of generals brought by Yuan Shao.

Zhang Rang's people arrived here and found that the palace gate was opened, and they were stunned in an instant.

"The great general has rebelled, and he has been killed. I don't ask. Oh, why did I shoot the arrows just after I don't ask?"

The eunuchs who were sending the order were immediately shot by arrows and ran back with their heads in their arms. Cao Cao and Yuan Shao had both woken up and led their troops to rush in.

Originally, Wu Kuang and Yuan Shu needed to set fire to attack the south gate of the palace for a whole day, but by chance, Zhao Yun opened it from the inside, and it was broken in one minute.

Fourth update!

Note: It is easy to get the impression that "Yuan Shu and Wu Kuang raised an army to attack the eunuchs, and the eunuchs collapsed immediately."

But according to the Three Kingdoms, after He Jin was killed, his generals counterattacked the palace for three days, and Zhang Rang fled without support.
Chapter completed!
