It is now 184 AD, and Liu He will truly reach adulthood in about half a year.

However, considering that the Yellow Turban Rebellion was about to break out, Liu He decided to hold a crown ceremony for himself in advance after discussing with his parents, otherwise he might not be able to attend to it when the war broke out.

Liu Qian was very pleased to see his son having such a successful career. He named Liu He "Xianzhao" and hoped that he would achieve greater success.

The continuous light rain for more than half a month has nourished all living beings in the world.

After the Spring Equinox, the long-lost sunshine finally appeared again. Suddenly, flowers bloomed all over the mountains, everything revived, and even the air felt much fresher and extremely comfortable.

Luoyang, the capital of the Han Dynasty, was bustling with people and prosperous.

At the entrance of a huge mansion in the city, a two-horse carriage slowly stopped, and a man in his thirties stepped out of the carriage, applying makeup on his face. With the help of the coachman, he stepped out of the carriage.

In the mansion, two people came out and said respectfully: "I have met Mr. Xu Changshi. My Ma Zhonglang has been waiting for you for a long time. Please follow me."

The two brought Xu Changshi to the mansion, but did not go to the main hall, but to the master bedroom. As soon as the guest entered the bedroom door, the two servants and the entourage brought by Xu Changshi stood there.

Wait outside the door.

"Ma Zhonglang is indeed cautious in his actions. The wise master did not misjudge the person."

Xu Changshi praised him with his mouth, but he was not polite and sat directly opposite the owner of the room.

A burly man smiled and clasped his fists and said, "Excuse me, Chang Shi. This matter is of great importance. If you are not careful, your family will be robbed and your clan will be destroyed. How dare you not be cautious?"

Xu Changshi replied: "It would be good if General Zhonglang knew."

Among the many eunuchs in the palace, Xu Changshi liked to put on makeup the most, and he tried his best to imitate women in his speech style. Ma Zhonglang was born as a military commander, so he couldn't help but feel uncomfortable with it, but he didn't dare to show it.

"I dare to ask Xu Changshi, but what are the instructions from the great wise master? Could it be that the specific plans and arrangements for the day of the incident have been decided?"

Xu Changshi raised his eyes and glanced at him, covered his mouth and smiled softly: "Haha, Ma Zhonglang is really smart, he can guess right."

The manner in which he spoke made Ma Zhonglang feel sick, but his face was still flattering. After all, whether in the Han Dynasty court or in the Taiping Sect, Xu Changshi's status was far beyond

Own.

"Since it is a great sage and good teacher who has orders, the subordinates must obey them! I don't know what the orders from the superiors are?"

The topic turned to the main topic, and Xu Changshi adjusted his expression slightly.

"The Horse God entrusted someone to send a message, saying that the five great virtuous masters will start an uprising in Jizhou at the beginning of next month, and we need our full cooperation. While waiting for the rebels to attack the city, Feng Changshi and I were responsible for contacting some of the courtiers in the city who had taken refuge with the great virtuous masters.

, occupied the palace, while Ma Zhonglang and several other Zhonglang generals led the imperial army to open the city gate."

Ma Zhonglang lowered his head and thought for a moment, then said: "It's no problem for the two Zhonglang generals Zhang and Chen. With the strength of the three of us, it is not difficult to open the city gate to welcome the army of the great virtuous master. It's just that inside and outside Luoyang

The real elite of the Forbidden Army is still in the hands of that guy Huangfu Song. This guy has a very high prestige in the army. Once he leads his troops to counterattack and engages in street fighting in the city, I'm afraid we will suffer heavy losses."

Ma Zhonglang is not stupid.

If this situation really happens, Zhang Jiao will definitely let his three lieutenant generals charge forward and put the Taiping Dao army behind to cover them up. By then, the soldiers in his hands will be gone. In the new dynasty, there will still be

What status and right to speak?

However, on this issue, Xu Changshi had the same position as him. He also needed to rely on this part of his military power to stabilize his position in the new dynasty.

He smiled and said, "Don't worry, General, I've already prepared."

"Oh? I wonder if Changshi Xu has any good ideas?"

"When the time comes when the great virtuous master accomplishes something great, I will advise His Majesty to let Huangfu Song and Zhu lead the troops to quell the rebellion. In the name of comforting the sergeants, I will poison them and the lieutenants under him. As long as they

Once the two of them fall, what do we have to fear?"

Looking at Xu Changshi's sinister smile, Ma Zhonglang couldn't help but shudder in his heart.

"This eunuch is indeed mentally twisted and vicious in his actions. It would be better not to offend them in the future."

With this mentality, he kept complimenting: "Chang Shi has thought carefully. With you here, we will definitely succeed this time. When the time comes, we will turn around in one fell swoop and rank among the three nobles!"

Xu Changshi heard this and was so happy that he covered his mouth and laughed.

After the two chatted for a long time, the waiter Xu stood up and left.

Just as his carriage was leaving, another carriage happened to be passing by, and a pair of eyes saw the front through the curtain.

"Hmm? Isn't this Xu Changshi's bicycle frame? Why is he, a palace servant, running into the house of a military general?"

The man thought about it and couldn't seem to come up with a reason.

"Forget it, these eunuchs have always been domineering, let's just leave them alone."

The city of Luoyang was turbulent, and there were hidden dangers inside and outside the city, but outsiders didn't know anything about it. On the contrary, Liu He, who was far away in the small county of Bingzhou, had predicted it early, but unfortunately he was unable to change it. Even if he informed Cui Jun, he didn't believe it.

However, although Cui Jun didn't completely believe Liu He's words, he still couldn't help but feel worried. After all, his parents and eldest brother were both in Luoyang City. If such a thing really happened, wouldn't they be in danger?

Out of this idea, Cui Jun has asked his ranger friends to inquire about news everywhere in the past few months, hoping to obtain more information to judge the next move of Taiping Road.

But after this investigation, Cui Jun was confused.

In the past three or four months, Taipingdao not only has not taken any special actions, but has suddenly ceased operations and is much lower-key than before.

Cui Jun was thinking about it all by himself, but he couldn't come up with a clue. Just in time, someone came to report that his old friend was coming to meet him. When he went out to see him, he was pleasantly surprised.

It was none other than Shi Tao and Shi Guangyuan, who were known as one of the "Four Friends of Zhuge" along with Cui Jun in history. He was the eldest son of the Shi family in Yingchuan, and his grandfather had been ranked as the Jiuqing.

Among Zhuge's four friends, he is the oldest, followed by Cui Jun, then Xu Shu, and finally Meng Jian. Now only Shi Tao has reached adulthood.

Cui Jun, Shi Tao and Meng Jian are all descendants of aristocratic families, so they have known each other for a long time.

As for Xu Shu, he is just a commoner, and now he is just a young man. He is studying and practicing martial arts at home, and serving his mother. He has not yet met the three of them, but although he is young, he is quite talented, and he is from the same hometown as Shi Tao, so the other three are more or less

I have heard of his name and deeds.

Cui Jun had been friends with Shi Tao for a long time. He was very happy to see him come to visit and hurriedly welcomed him to his home. The two drank wine and chatted about the general situation of the world.

After this conversation, they unknowingly talked about Taiping Road, which has been growing in popularity and popularity over the years. Cui Jun inevitably frowned when he mentioned this.
