Chen Lang and Guan Yu led two thousand Big Knife Camp warriors to escort Liu Bian's carriage straight to Luoyang.
Halfway through the journey, they happened to come face to face with a troop of five to six thousand cavalrymen. Both sides immediately stopped. Guan Yu spurred his horse forward, and shouted loudly: "Ying Yang Army Zuo Yu Lin Wei is here, who is in front?" A general came out from the army and shouted loudly, "I am Academy Officer Bao Hong, what are you all doing here if not in your own territory?"
Chen Lang said: "Tell him that we will escort His Highness, Prince Liu Bian, back to the palace." Guan Yu immediately raised his voice and shouted: "We will escort Prince Liu Bian back to the palace, all of you move out of the way!"
Bao Hong frowned. One of the deputy generals by his side said softly: "Saving Prince Liu Bian is a great contribution! General, the other side do not have many people, but we do have a lot of people, why not snatch Prince Liu Bian and take this achievement for ourselves? " Bao Hong could not help but be moved, but said worriedly: "Attacking comrades, I am afraid this is not appropriate." The deputy general said, "The general always said that the Ying Yang Army had colluded with the thieves to murder the prince, and the general was only trying to save the prince. At that time, even though the Great General and Eunuch Zhang do not like the General Ying Yang, they were still happy enough to add fuel to the fire and stood by the general's side to speak. "
Bao Hong was overjoyed, and then shouted out loud: "The bold Ying Yang Army, you actually colluded with the thieves to kidnap the prince, you are truly guilty of an unforgivable crime! "Come on, surround these rebel soldiers!" The five thousand men under Bao Hong's command immediately responded as they shouted and rushed over to surround Chen Lang and the other two thousand men.
Bao Hong was immediately under the command of the Ying Yang Army, and proudly looked at the heavily encircled Ying Yang Army, and said loudly: "Quickly hand over the prince, get off your horse and be bound, this general can still spare your life! If you dare to delay, you will instantly turn into dust! "
Guan Yu was furious and bellowed: "Bao Hong, don't you slander me!"
Chen Lang patted Guan Yu's shoulder, and said: "No need to waste any words with him, that guy is trying to steal credit." Guan Yu narrowed his phoenix eyes and cupped his fists: "Big brother, I will go chop him off!" Chen Lang hesitated for a moment, then nodded.
Guan Yu immediately patted his horse and rushed towards Bao Hong who was beneath the banner door. Seeing this, one of the deputy generals beside Bao Hong shouted: "Scoundrel, don't be crazy!" With that, he raised his spear and rushed out to meet Guan Yu. In the blink of an eye, the two horses crossed, and the Lieutenant General let out a loud cry as he raised his spear to kill Guan Yu. However, at this moment, he suddenly felt a flash of blade light in front of him, and before he could even react, his entire person was sliced into two by that lightning-like blade light! Bao Hong and the soldiers under him suddenly saw this scene, they were extremely shocked!
Guan Yu galloped his horse and rushed to the front of Bao Hong's army, raising his blade and roaring! Bao Hong's soldiers only felt a thunderous roar from the peak of the mountain. They were so scared that their souls were trembling, and they all couldn't help but retreat to the two sides, not daring to stop Guan Yu at all. Guan Yu raised his blade and flew to the front of the flag door. Seeing Guan Yu approaching ferociously, Bao Hong was so shocked that he subconsciously raised his blade to attack! Just as he was raising his big blade up halfway, Guan Yu's Azure Dragon crescent moon knife was already coming down from above! With a kacha sound, the Azure Dragon crescent moon knife was dragged from Bao Hong's left shoulder all the way to his right abdomen. Bao Hong's entire being was instantly sliced into two as blood madly gushed out and he fell off his horse! Seeing this, the soldiers of the Bao Hong Army were all frightened out of their wits, they all abandoned their armours and scattered!
Guan Yu spurred his horse back to Chen Lang, and said disdainfully: "You dare to stop my army with such little ability, you truly do not know life from death."
Chen Lang smiled and said: "We cannot stay here for long, enter Luoyang immediately."
The two thousand men continued on their way.
Before dawn, troops had arrived at the west gate of Luoyang.
Just at that moment, the city gate suddenly opened. Tens of thousands of army surged out, their backs leaning against the city gate as they laid down a battle formation. Chen Lang took a glance at the other party's military flag, and saw the four big words' General He ', written in a very domineering and arrogant manner.
Tens of thousands of soldiers lined up in formation as they roared in unison. Their voices shook the skies and their auras were grand and majestic.
Chen Lang raised the big blade in his right hand, and the two thousand Big Knife Camp immediately formed a battle formation as they roared angrily, like a mountain howling, their aura was actually not the least bit weaker than their opponent.
The other party rode out from the formation and arrived in front of Chen Lang. The person who came was none other than Chen Lang's good friend, Cao Cao. Chen Lang raised his voice and asked: "Brother Meng De, do you want to become my enemy?"
Cao Cao Cao said while cupping his fists, "Brother Chen, you and I are together. No matter what, I don't want to become enemies with you! However, not long ago, Bao Hong's troops had returned and reported that Brother Chen had not only kidnapped Prince Liu Bian, but had also killed General Bao Hong.
Chen Lang laughed and asked: "Brother Meng De, do you believe me?"
Cao Cao shook his head without hesitation, "Of course not! Firstly, I believe in Brother Chen. Secondly, with Brother Chen's intellect, how could he fall into your trap? But Brother Chen, what exactly is going on? "
Chen Lang was about to explain. An officer rushed to Cao Cao's side and said: "General Cao, the general has ordered us not to speak to the rebel army! "The Great General wants General Cao to return quickly. The Great General is about to attack!"
Chen Lang laughed out loud, and said: "Since Great General wants to fight, I, Chen Lang, will accompany you to the end!" He then raised his blade and shouted: "Ying Yang Army!" The two thousand strong warriors roared in unison, "Kill!" He Jin's army of tens of thousands of soldiers changed in expression, the war horses were startled, the He Jin who had always disregarded Chen Lang and his Ying Yang Army could not help but change his expression, after that he frowned, raised his right hand, and prepared to attack. Clang clang clang clang clang clang.
"Stop!" A tender voice suddenly sounded.
Chen Lang and Guan Yu looked at each other, feeling that something was amiss.
Liu Bian said with a stern face: "General Ying Yang is my savior, why are you stopping me? Could it be that you want to kidnap me and rebel?"
He Jin and the others turned pale with fright, as he hurriedly explained in a loud voice: "Your Highness has misunderstood! When we received the news, we thought that the General Ying Yang had kidnapped Your Highness, so … "
Liu Bian said: General Ying Yang saved me from the hoodlums! It's not that General Ying Yang wants to kidnap me, but Bao Hong wants to kidnap me. He Jin was submissive.
Liu Bian said: "The great general is blaming General Ying Yang, he should apologize to General Ying Yang!" He Jin immediately felt troubled. Speaking of himself, no matter what, he would never want to apologize to someone whose position was lower than his. But since Prince Liu Bian had said it in front of everyone, wouldn't he be disobedient if he disobeyed!
Seeing that the Great General was not listening to him, Liu Bian became angry and asked loudly, "Is the Great General going to go against my orders?"
He Jin was shocked, he had no choice but to apologize to Chen Lang.
Chen Lang suddenly raised his voice: "Your Highness, don't blame the great general, the great general is worried for your safety in the end." After He Jin heard this, he took the chance and put away his apology. In his heart, he felt grateful towards Chen Lang. After hearing what Chen Lang said, Liu Bian did not pursue the matter anymore.
Chen Lang raised his voice and said, "Great General, since the misunderstanding has been clarified, let us quickly escort His Highness back to the palace. I believe His Majesty and the Empress are already worried sick. "
He Jin snorted, and raised his voice: "You guys leave His Highness to us, let's return to the base!" Liu Bian immediately shouted: "No! If General Ying Yang is different, I won't go anywhere! " He Jin had no choice but to let the Ying Yang Army personally escort him into the Luoyang City.
The army was advancing on the main streets of Luoyang, and Liu Bian's carriage was being shouted at by the army.
Cao Cao Cao walked to Chen Lang's side and smiled: "Since brother Chen has accomplished such a great deed, His Majesty will definitely reward you handsomely!" Chen Lang laughed, and thought: If the Emperor knew that this child was not his, he would probably tear me into pieces!
Cao Cao Cao said, "Previously Prince Liu has already been found, but now Prince Liu Bian is here. Although the Royal Beauty is dead, it is not a big threat to the entire country."
Chen Lang thought back to the information he had gotten from the few darned eunuchs, and couldn't help but feel that Empress He's schemes had really failed.
When they arrived at the entrance of the imperial palace, a few palace guards immediately came forward to pick up Prince Liu Bian. However, no matter what, Prince Liu Bian refused to separate from him, as he wailed and shouted. Everyone had no choice but to seek help from Chen Lang, who spoke for a long time and finally calmed Liu Bian down, allowing him to follow the palace guards, but his eyes still made people feel sad.
A eunuch arrived in front of everyone and announced, "His Majesty has summoned the General Ying Yang's royal study to meet us. Everyone else can go back." Everyone left after cheering for the last time, while Chen Lang followed the eunuch into the imperial study.
Halfway there, the eunuch suddenly stopped and turned, looked at Chen Lang with a cold smile, and said: "General Ying Yang sure has a lot of airs! This time, we have done a great deed, I am afraid that you have become even more arrogant! "
Chen Lang felt confused, he looked at the desiccated and sinister face in front of him and asked: "Eunuch, are you Elder Zhang?"
Zhang Jean sneered, "Our family has helped you so much, but you actually don't recognize us. Good, good, good." Zhang's strange appearance made Chen Lang feel very uncomfortable. A strange feeling suddenly rose in Chen Lang's heart. These eunuchs made him uncomfortable, but why did these emperors like people like them?
Zhang Can saw that Chen Lang had a strange smile on his face and was immediately angered. He said in a strange tone: "General Ying Yang, you have to understand that since we can support you, we can still make it so that you will never be able to recover! You better take care of yourself! " With that, he shook his head and continued to walk forward. Chen Lang could not help but shudder, laughed, and followed.
Not long after, Zhang Nan led Chen Lang into the royal study, where Chen Lang saw the sickly emperor sitting behind a table and reading. Zhang Jean reported, "Your Majesty, General Ying Yang is here."
