Chapter 153 The end of Queen He, a surprise in despair?
While undercurrents were surging in Youzhou, Dong Zhuo in Luoyang was also not idle.
In less than half a month, the news that Dong Zhuo had deposed and enthroned Emperor Shao Liu Bian spread throughout the world.
Countless people cursed and called him traitor.
Yuan Shao who fled to Qingzhou and Cao Cao in Yanzhou both called on loyal officials and righteous men all over the world to fight against Dong Zhuo and eliminate the traitors.
But no matter how loud the curses were, the coronation ceremony of the new emperor Liu Xie continued in Luoyang city.
The palace and every corner of the city were decorated with lights and were bustling with activity.
Outside the city, a carriage was moving slowly towards the west under the escort of a team of Xiliang soldiers.
In the carriage, in addition to a beautiful woman with a cold temperament, there was also a boy of about twelve or thirteen years old.
This mother and son were Empress He and Liu Bian, who had just been deposed by Dong Zhuo.
At this moment, the two of them did not have the high spirits they had a few months ago when Liu Bian had just ascended the throne. Instead, they only felt bitterness and helplessness.
Before she stood at the top of the world, Empress He thought everything was very simple. She thought as long as she had power, everything would come naturally and logically.
But when she really took power, she found that no one listened to her orders.
Whether it is Dong Zhuo who holds power today, or Yuan Shao and Cao Cao who have already failed, they are all birds of a feather.
At this moment, Queen He, who was at her wit's end, once again recalled Ye Feng's words.
Everything was predicted, she lost the bet, but she never had the chance to admit defeat.
"Mother, where are we going?"
"Won't they kill us?"
Liu Bian's trembling voice made Empress He feel sad.
"Don't worry, you are still the King of Hongnong and the son of the late emperor. Who dares to attack you?"
"We are just leaving Luoyang temporarily, we will have to leave sooner or later."
Before he could finish his words, teasing voices were heard outside.
"Captain, are we really going to send them to Hongnong?"
"I see that the Grand Master is extremely displeased with them. How about we put an end to them halfway?"
The dark-faced middle-aged captain in the lead said with a smile, "What are you talking about? The Prince of Hongnong and the Queen Mother are inside, how dare you have any thoughts about them?"
There was no anger or resentment in his words, which made the hundreds of Xiliang cavalrymen around him understand that the dark-faced middle-aged captain was not angry.
He continued to speak impudently: "Although the Grand Tutor has not issued an order, there is already a new emperor. Who can still remember this kid from before?"
"I looked at the one inside. Hehe, it's really well maintained."
"If we really want to kill them, we can enjoy it in advance."
"Thinking that this woman was the emperor's woman, I am really filled with passion."
"If this goes as I wish, it will be worth it even if I lose my life."
"Did you see that just now? Her skin and figure are even better than the top girls in the Eight Great Hutongs."
As soon as these words came out, the eyes of the other hundred or so people all flashed with lust. It was obvious that all the men had the same thoughts, and they all could not stand the temptation of the young woman.
The dark-faced middle-aged lieutenant also had eyes full of desire, but since he could climb to this position, he naturally had brains.
After a brief moment of fantasy, his eyes regained clarity: "Stinky boys, do you know why the Grand Master didn't dare to take action against them?"
"Why?"
The dark-faced middle-aged lieutenant lowered his voice: "Ye Feng!"
"I heard about his threats when he left."
"Although this person has left Luoyang, even the powerful Grand Master dare not ignore him."
"So we have to endure it and wait for the opportunity, and the brothers will naturally not be missing."
"After all. Hehe"
The wanton and lascivious voices were not concealed at all.
Empress He's delicate body trembled, and her beautiful eyes were filled with anger to the extreme.
But without the halo of queen and queen mother, she is just a woman.
Endless regret fills my heart.
If Ye Feng had not been allowed to leave, how could he have ended up like this?
He was teased by a group of ants but had no power to resist.
Do we really have to take the last step?
The soldiers outside naturally didn't know what Queen He was thinking. At this moment, they were all provoked by the fantasy of the man who just spoke, and they spoke more and more recklessly. "I don't think Ye Feng is that great. The reason why we were defeated outside Luoyang was mainly because we were unprepared. If we had prepared in advance, it would be hard to say who would win!"
"There is no need to be afraid. With more than 200,000 cavalrymen, we can conquer the world easily. Why should we be afraid of a yellow-haired boy?"
As soon as he finished speaking, a terrifying murderous intent instantly enveloped his whole body.
This arrogant Xiliang soldier only saw a flash of silver light before his eyes and had no time to react.
"what!"
A scream was heard, an arrow pierced his throat, and then his eyes went black and his body fell heavily to the ground.
Until his death, this Xiliang soldier didn't even understand how he died.
The rest of the Xiliang soldiers were immediately furious: "Who is this person? How dare he kill even officers and soldiers?"
"Who?"
"get out!"
The scolding had just ended.
"whoosh whoosh"
Several more arrows flew out, and all the Xiliang soldiers who opened their mouths fell to the ground, dead as hell.
This scene really scared the remaining surviving Xiliang soldiers, and they looked around cautiously.
The next moment, more than hundreds of cavalry surrounded them.
The leader, holding a Longdan silver spear and stepping on a night-shining jade lion, was Zhao Yun, who was left behind by Ye Feng.
At this moment, Zhao Yun stood on his horse with his spear in hand, looking down at the frightened Xiliang soldiers with contempt: "How dare you insult my lord?"
"Damn it!"
"kill!"
“Leave no one alive!!”
As the voice fell, Zhao Yun raised the Longdan silver spear in his hand high and swept it out.
A spear beam condensed from the mighty force, accompanied by the sound of whistling wind and carrying a tremendous force, flew towards the team of Xiliang soldiers.
"boom!!"
"what!!"
The sound of impact and screams rang out at the same time.
More than 20 Xiliang soldiers, including the dark-faced middle-aged captain, only felt a force coming at them like an overwhelming force.
They didn't even have time to resist.
A force like that of a prehistoric beast was raging wildly within the body.
In just a few moments, all the internal organs moved, and life was cut off.
Seeing their leader being so brave and almost annihilating the Xiliang troops in one blow, hundreds of elite cavalrymen around dared not waste any more time and charged forward madly.
A quarter of an hour later, there were corpses and blood everywhere.
Inside the carriage, Liu Bian secretly glanced outside, but seeing blood and corpses all over the ground, he cried out "wow".
"Mother, everyone outside is dead!"
"Will we also?"
Empress He pulled out a sharp dagger from her sleeve: "If this is our fate, what can we do about it?"
When the mother and son were anxious, Zhao Yun rode forward and knelt on one knee: "Greetings, Madam!"
"I am here to rescue you on the orders of my lord!"
"Madam, lord?"
Queen He was startled, with surprise flashing in her eyes: "Were you sent by Ye Feng?"
Zhao Yun nodded.
Empress He was half excited, half thrilled, and also a little sad. She understood that after this title, she could only be Ye Feng's woman, and no longer had any other identity.
