Leading a few Yu Lin Wei, Liu Wei stood straight at the main gate of the palace with his hands on his hips, looking around at the torrent of people gathered outside the door.

Seeing that Liu had come out of the palace, the people who were blackly oppressed immediately rushed towards the main gate of the palace. When the crowd was surging, some of them had a faint feeling in their hearts that something was not quite right, and they stood in front and tried their best to withstand the crowd surging up behind.

But these people who can feel that something is wrong are only a few after all, and more people are surging forward like a tide in a few shouts of "I implore the king of Luoyang to send troops to exterminate the Xiliang army".

The few people who wanted to block the crowd behind were weak and were quickly dispersed, so they could only stand in the crowd and watch the crowd rush towards the main gate of the palace.

At the same time that the people flocked to Liu Bian, hundreds of officers and soldiers wearing red robes and golden feathers on their helmets suddenly ran out behind Liu Bian.

These officers and soldiers ran out of the main gate, rushed in front of Liu Wei without the slightest delay, circled around and a half, and put Liu Wei behind him.

The officers and soldiers who ran out of the main gate all pressed their swords on their waists and stared coldly at the torrent of people who were rushing towards Liu Wei.

Although the people in the city were instigated by others, and the crowd was very excited, hundreds of officers and soldiers who were heavily armed and pressed on the hilt of their swords stood in front of them, but they did not dare to take another step forward. The crowd stirred for a moment, then calmed down.

Deng Zhan, who led the dragoon guards to protect Liu Bian, walked to the rear of Liu Bian's left side, pressed the hilt of his sword like all the dragoon guards, and looked around at the people gathered outside the palace, with no expression on his face, so that people would not doubt that as long as someone intended to get close to Liu Bian, his sword would immediately unsheath and kill people.

The people gradually stopped the commotion, and looked up at Liu Wei who was standing outside the gate of the palace one by one, and the voice of shouting to petition Liu Wei just now was also disappeared at this moment.

"Why do the villagers gather?" Straightening his waist, Liu Wei looked around at the crowd of people who had already flocked to him, and shouted to the crowd: "If the villagers have something to say, just say that this king knows!" But if this king can do it for the villagers, he will do his best! ”

"Your Highness!" Before Liu Bian's words fell, a person was squeezed out of the crowd, clenched his fists and bowed to Liu Bian, and then asked: "I heard that His Royal Highness is going to send troops to exterminate the Xiliang Army, I don't know if there is such a thing?" ”

Walking out of the crowd was a teenager who looked to be at most fourteen or fifteen years old. The young man was dressed in a dark coat of earthy blue, and the sleeve on the left side of the coat was patched with a boxy patch at the elbow.

His clothes are very clean, giving people a refreshing look. However, the young man's face was not very good, his cheeks were not symmetrical from side to side like normal people, but the right side was slightly raised, and the left side was sunken under the scab.

The most impressive thing is probably his nose. Liu Wei has also seen a lot of sky-facing noses, but most of them are just nostrils facing forward, but this young man's nostrils are at a forty-five degree angle, growing upwards, which makes Liu Wei wonder if there will be a lot of rainwater in his nose once it rains.

Looking at the young man who bowed out of the crowd with his fists clenched, Liu Wei said to him: "The extermination of the Xiliang Army is a matter discussed between this king and the generals in the hall, I don't know how Your Excellency knows?" ”

"Such a good thing, why is Your Highness worried that the villagers will know?" Before Liu Wei's words fell, the young man straightened his waist and asked him with a bit of questioning in his tone: "The villagers are suffering from the Xiliang army, they are too fierce beasts, Your Highness is rebelling, but for the sake of heaven, the villagers will only help each other, why is Your Highness unwilling to let the villagers know the inside story?" ”

Although the young man is not very old, he can continue to ask questions, but it makes Liu Wei speechless for a while. Liu Wei was stunned for a moment, and looked at the young man from head to toe again, and then said loudly: "This king will no longer pursue today, how did the villagers know that the army is about to crusade against the Xiliang army!" The news that the villagers have heard is not false, and early tomorrow morning, the king will personally lead a large army to Chang'an to attack the remnants of Xiliang to relieve the siege of Chang'an. ”

"The King of Luoyang is mighty! The army is mighty! After getting the exact news from Liu Wei's mouth, a shout came from the crowd, and then everyone, regardless of men, women, and children, raised their arms and shouted loudly.

After the people shouted for a while, Liu Wei pressed his hand twice at them, and then shouted to them: "Folks, Luoyang City was once sacked by the Xiliang Army, and now although it is in ruins, the grain, grass and money used in the city still need to be supplied by Hedong. Folks, please settle down in their duties, farming is a good life and farming, business only cares about the value of the goods, you and so on to manage carefully, and build this Luoyang to the king, which is the best support for the king and the army! ”

"The folks are gone!" After Liu Wei's words were finished, Deng Zhan, who was standing behind him, took a step forward, arched his fist at the people gathered outside the Luoyang Palace, and said: "Your Highness wants to discuss with the generals about the crusade against the Xiliang army, and it is useless for the villagers to stay here. If you want to support His Highness and support the army, the villagers will be as His Highness said, and they will be infinitely grateful to the villagers! ”

As he spoke, Deng Zhan hugged his fists and bowed deeply to the people. The people gathered outside the palace were talking to each other about something, and they dispersed to the streets.

"Where's the young man?" When all the people dispersed, Liu Weixiang looked around, but he didn't see the ugly-looking young man, and turned his head to Deng Zhan, who was standing behind him, and asked, "Has General Deng seen that young man?" ”

"It's just a crazy birth, and it's ugly." Deng Zhan shook his head, pursed his lips a little noncommittally, and said to Liu Bian: "Why did His Highness ask him? ”

"This man is still young, but he speaks extraordinarily, and he will be a great talent in time." Looking at the people who gradually dispersed on the street, Liu Wei said to Deng Zhan on the side: "General Deng and the dragoon guards have all seen this person, this person has a strange appearance, and he must be able to recognize him at a glance in the crowd." This king will entrust the responsibility of finding this person to the general, and must not let him escape from Luoyang! He will be called to meet the king. When the invitation is extended, if this person is arrogant and uninhibited, the general should not be annoyed, just inform the king, and the king will go to the invitation! ”

"Your Royal Highness......" After listening to Liu Bian's words, Deng Zhan really couldn't understand why Liu Bian had such a strong interest in a young man with a strange and ugly appearance, and he was just about to speak, but Liu Bian had already led a few Yu Linwei with him, and turned around and entered the house.

It wasn't until Liu Wei's back was far away that Deng Zhan waved his hand to the dragoon guards who were still surrounding the main gate, and shouted to them: "Your Highness's words, have you heard them clearly?" ”

"Hear me!" All the dragoon guards raised their faces, looked at Deng Zhan, who was standing in front of the main entrance, and answered in a loud voice.

"Then everyone followed General Ben to find the little gentleman! Remember, be polite and don't shout! Looking around at the dragoon guards in front of him, Deng Zhan waved his hand again and shouted to them: "A team of five, look for it in the city, go!" ”

"No!" After receiving the order, all the officers and men of the dragoon guard bowed down with their fists in response, and then a team of five people soon dispersed to the streets of the city.

Entering the inner garden, Liu Wei's face turned pale. The plan to attack the Xiliang army was decided to be discussed with Xu Shu and the generals in the main hall, and there were no outsiders, but he didn't expect that a day had passed, and the news was already full of wind and rain, and there were people in the city who encouraged the people to petition.

From this point of view, Luoyang City may not be stable. Those who agitated the people, no matter what their purpose, must have wanted to gain benefits in the mutual conquest between Liu Wei and the Xiliang army, so they were so impatient to urge Liu Wei to lead the army to clear the Xiliang army.

"Your Highness, General Guan Hai asks to see you!" Just as he was walking deep into the inner garden, a Yu Linwei quickly ran up from behind, and when Liu Wei approached, the Yu Linwei hugged his fists and bowed down to report to him: "I heard what General Guan Hai said, he made a big mistake, and he specially asked His Highness for the guilt!" ”

"Guilty of pleading?" After listening to that Yu Lin Wei's words, Liu Wei turned around, waved his hand at him, and said to him: "Go and ask General Guan Hai to come and meet!" ”

"No!" Yu Linwei responded, took two steps back, turned around and ran quickly towards the outer courtyard.

With his hands behind his back, standing on the bluestone road in the back garden, Liu Wei waited for almost a stick of incense before he saw Guan Hai, who was naked and tied with thorns tied to his body, and under the guidance of that Yu Linwei, he ran quickly along the bluestone road.

Seeing the thorns tied to Guan Hai's body, Liu Wei instantly figured out who spread the news that the army was going to attack the Xiliang army.

When Liu Wei approached, Guan Hai knelt on the ground with a "poof", bowed down and said to Liu Bian: "The last general learned that His Royal Highness was going to attack the Xiliang Army, and he was happy in his heart, so he said that Yu personally knew. If Your Highness is still annoyed with the last general, please cut off the head of the last general......"

"What should I do?" After Guan Hai finished speaking, Liu Wei stepped forward to help him, helped him up, and said to him with a slight smile: "General Guan has unintentionally done this king a great favor, and since he has already taken the guilt, how can this king cut off the general's head?" ”

Knowing that the people were gathering in the city to petition, Guan Hai, who knew that something had happened, heard Liu Wei say that he had unintentionally helped Liu Wei a lot, and his face suddenly showed confusion.

"Quickly untie the thorn strip for General Guan!" Seeing Guan Hai looking at him blankly, Liu Wei didn't explain to Guan Hai, but just gave an order to a few Yu Linwei on the side.

Two of them, Yu Linwei, hurriedly stepped forward and helped Guan Hai untie the thorns.

When the thorns were removed, Guan Hai rubbed his arm that had been marked with small blood marks, and asked Liu Wei with some trepidation: "Your Highness really doesn't blame the last general?" ”

"No blame!" With a smile on the corner of his mouth, Liu Wei gently patted Guan Hai's muscular arm and said to him: "It's just that in the future, this king and the generals will make a decision, and General Guan will not dare to talk nonsense in front of others!" There are some things that if they spread, the army may be wiped out! ”

"The last general will not dare!" Liu Wei said that he did not blame, but in his tone, there was some blame, knowing that this matter was done badly, Guan Hai, who was already full of guilt, hugged his fists and bowed down, and actually showed a rare humble appearance, and said to Liu Bian: "If the last general has no mouth in the future, His Royal Highness will only take the head of the last general, and the last general will never complain!" ”
