The next moment, Wu Fan and Lu Lingqi came to the gate of Zhaoming Palace one after another.

Emperor Xian was already waiting inside, sitting next to the chessboard with blank eyes, not knowing what he was thinking. It was not until the eunuch called three times that Emperor Xian came to his senses, quickly retracted his mind, and asked the eunuch to bring Wu Fan in.

Although it was the middle of winter, the multiple charcoal furnaces in Zhaoming Hall made the hall warm as spring. In order to breathe, the hall door was half open. Therefore, Emperor Xian's expression just now was seen by Wu Fan outside the door, and his heart couldn't help but move-

Judging from this, the idea of ​​ambushing himself seemed not to be Emperor Xian's original intention, so it should be Dong Cheng's plan. But where did Dong Cheng run? If this ambush plan was planned by him, he shouldn't hide and leave Emperor Xian here.

Thinking of this in my heart, Wu Fan had already entered Zhaoming Palace with Lu Lingqi under the leadership of the eunuch.

Emperor Xian's behavior today was quite unnatural. Seeing Wu Fan coming in and bowing to him, Emperor Xian stood up involuntarily, as if guilty of Wu Fan. He immediately felt that this would be a loss of the moral integrity of the monarch and ministers, so he quickly sat down and reached out to signal Wu Fan not to be too polite.

Then, Wu Fan took a few steps forward and sat opposite Emperor Xian across the chessboard. Lu Lingqi followed closely and stood behind Wu Fan.

Because Wu Fan was much taller than Lu Lingqi, Lu Lingqi followed Wu Fan all the time, so Emperor Xian didn't notice her at first. When Wu Fan had already sat down, Lu Lingqi behind him attracted Emperor Xian's attention.

After looking at Lu Lingqi a few times, Emperor Xian had some impression, because every morning court, Wu Fan's subordinates gathered in Wende Hall. However, Lu Lingqi had just joined Wu Fan's subordinates, and the official position was low, and he stood behind everyone in the morning court. Therefore, Emperor Xian was not familiar with Lu Lingqi, and Wu Fan said:

"Wu Aiqing, who is the woman behind you?"

Wu Fan smiled lightly and said:

"This is because of my subordinate Lu Lingqi. Lingqi has loved swords since she was a child, and is especially good at dancing swords. This time I brought her into the palace just to let her dance swords in front of His Majesty to cheer her up. However, due to the ban on the palace, both of us have no swords. If Emperor Xian wants to see it, we can give swords and Lingqi to dance."

Wu Fan's words were actually a sound attack, intending to divert Emperor Xian's attention: Since Emperor Xian was going to ambush himself this time, he would definitely refuse to give him sword and Lingqi. This was already a shame for him, so next, Emperor Xian would naturally not let Lu Lingqi go out again.

Sure enough, Emperor Xian waved his hand and said:

"The sword dance matter can be mentioned later. Today I will only play chess with my dear friends."

Wu Fan smiled slightly, and couldn't reveal it, making people unable to see whether it was joy or anger, and said calmly:

"I will receive the order, please let Your Majesty go."

When Emperor Xian saw Wu Fan's appearance, he couldn't help but think of the scene when Wu Fan was still drinking tea leisurely when Yuan Shao's army broke into the back garden a few months ago. Unconsciously, Emperor Xian thought that these 200 death-going soldiers might not necessarily have won Wu Fan's life. If that were the case, wouldn't it be difficult to protect his life?

However, now that things have come to this point, as the saying goes, there is no turning back, and the blood edict has been given to Yuan Shao. The first death warrior has been ambushed, and at this time he has no room for regret. He can only believe Dong Cheng, hoping that these 200 first death warriors are as powerful as he is confident.

Speaking of Wu Fan, Emperor Xian really doesn't think that Wu Fan is particularly sorry for him. Except that he is not respectful to him like his courtiers, he is not doing anything else. Luoyang is more prosperous and prosperous than before, and the lives of the people of Luoyang are getting better and better, with a spring breeze on his face and a happy smile. As for undermining himself, he has never directly exercised any power before. Everything is followed by the courtiers' recommendation, and he is still the same as before.

It was just suppressed by the traditional concept of "the country of Han and the country of Han", which made Emperor Xian have no other choice and could only take this worst strategy at the instigation of Dong Cheng.

Playing chess is a job that emphasizes concentration. Emperor Xian is confused. How can he play a good chess? Wu Fan is not like Emperor Xian’s courtiers, playing fake chess to make Emperor Xian happy. He ate it if he has any flaws. After eating more than a dozen pieces of chess pieces like fried beans, Wu Fan then smiled:

"Your Majesty, if you continue to do so, you will lose again."

Emperor Xian wiped the sweat from his forehead and nodded:

"I'm very good at chess, but I can't do that."

Then, at Wu Fan's suggestion, the game was pushed and the two started again.

Another game was played, Emperor Xian had no rules in his chess game, and he missed it all over the place. While he was sitting in a pin and needle, the eunuch outside the door came in and reported that the Grand Secretary Dong Cheng asked for a meeting.

Emperor Xian felt relieved when he heard this.

It turned out that Dong Cheng had conspired with Emperor Xian before, asking Emperor Xian to play chess with Wu Fan first, and Dong Cheng appeared again at the right time. Now Emperor Xian has played two games with Wu Fan, but Dong Cheng has not appeared for a long time. How could Emperor Xian not be anxious? When he heard that Dong Cheng was finally here, Emperor Xian finally breathed a sigh of relief and his expression was relieved from extreme tension.

All of this was seen by Wu Fan and said in his heart: I called for help, Dong Cheng, you finally appeared.

Then, under the leadership of the eunuch, Dong Cheng came to Zhaoming Palace. When he saw Wu Fan, he deliberately pretended to be surprised and said:

"Governor Wu, I didn't expect you to be here too."

Wu Fan smiled and said:

"Yes, I didn't expect the Grand Secretary-General Dong Guild to appear here."

The two of them had their own thoughts and greeted him without a smile. Dong Cheng stood beside Emperor Xian and watched the two play chess.

After a while, Emperor Xian asked Dong Chengdai to play chess with Wu Fan on the grounds that he was anxious and got up and went out.

Wu Fan knew in his heart: Emperor Xian took advantage of the excuse to escape. If I was not wrong, the next step should be to find a reason to leave. After all, Dong Cheng's force is only a little over 60 years old and is far from his opponent. If he stays, he will only die in vain and drag the Dead Soldiers to protect him.

After Dong Cheng left, there might be some secret code, and then the dead soldiers rushed in. In this not particularly spacious Zhaoming Hall, two hundred people suddenly rushed in, and they were all very skilled, so it was not easy to rush out.

Thinking of this, Wu Fan began to carefully look at the layout and all the decorations in Zhaoming Palace so that he could use them next moment.

As expected, things happened as Wu Fan expected. After a while, Emperor Xian had not come back yet, so Dong Cheng stood up and left on the grounds that he went to find Emperor Xian.

Seeing that Dong Cheng's expression could not hide his nervousness, Wu Fan couldn't help but smile and suddenly whispered behind Dong Cheng:

"Why is Mr. Dong so in a hurry?"

This sentence is very connotation and hit Dong Cheng's heart. In a shock, a jade wall fell down in his arms. With a bang, it broke into pieces on the brick and stone floor.

The sound of falling from the jade wall was exactly the secret number that first climbed the dead man and broke into Zhaoming Palace.

Almost at the same time when the jade wall was broken, the two hundred death-headed soldiers who had quietly lurked outside the Zhaoming Palace suddenly broke into the door. The windows on both sides of the hall were also knocked away. The death-headed soldiers entered the hall one by one, which was really like a crucian carp crossing the river.

At this time, Dong Cheng was standing in front of the chessboard, facing the deadly soldiers who were pouring in like a flood, and could not escape.

In panic, a huge force was felt on the back collar, pulling Dong Cheng back suddenly, leaning against Wu Fan. At this time, Wu Fan was still sitting next to the chessboard, pulling Dong Cheng with one hand, and slashing the chessboard with the other hand, grabbing more than a dozen pieces and throwing them towards the rushing Deadly Soldiers who were swarming with them. With a sound of breaking through the air, although about half of the pieces were knocked away by the single sword in the hands of the Deadly Soldiers, the other half of the pieces still hit the target, and a scream sounded.

In this moment, except for the first-row death warrior who was hit by a chess piece, the other first-row death warriors rushed to Wu Fan, and cut across the single knife in his hand, and the silver light shone. There were more than a dozen powerful energy sandwiched in it, and Wu Fan attacked radially.

I heard the sound of single-killing swords slashing on the flesh and blood, accompanied by screams - Dong Cheng was pulled by Wu Fan and swayed left and right like a puppet, becoming Wu Fan's live flesh shield. After taking dozens of knifes in an instant, Dong Cheng's body was covered in blood, his spleen flowed out, his arms were broken, and his white sternum was exposed under the broken belly. His condition was terrible and he was already dead.

When they saw Dong Cheng killing Dong Cheng by accident, all the first-row dead soldiers were shocked. Wu Fan was already kicking Dong Cheng's back, making all the first-row dead soldiers on Wu Fan side be blocked by Dong Cheng and could not move forward for the time being. At the same time, Wu Fan stood up and kicked the chessboard flying. The chess pieces on the table flew out like countless hidden arrows, and suppressed the first-row dead soldiers on Wu Fan's opposite.

As for Wu Fan's back, Lu Lingqi had already pulled out two short daggers hidden around her waist, and fought with more than ten first-dragon dead soldiers at the same time.

However, these first-row dead soldiers reacted very quickly. The first thing they realized was the first-row dead soldiers who were killed by Dong Cheng. They stabbed their single swords into Dong Cheng's body, and at the same time, with a hissing, Dong Cheng's body was torn into pieces and flew out in all directions. Then, these first-row dead soldiers rushed forward to Wu Fan under the blood mist that had not yet dissipated.

At the same time, the first-dragon dead soldiers who were suppressed by chess pieces and chess boards also waved their swords forward.

At this time, Wu Fan had already picked up a charcoal furnace placed beside the chessboard. The charcoal furnace was about half a meter high, with bronze texture, and three long legs of more than thirty centimeters. The heat of the charcoal fire could not be transferred to the long legs, and it was just enough to hold it.

As Wu Fan picked up the charcoal furnace, he shook forward. The red charcoal in the furnace immediately flew towards the first-dragon dynasty soldiers in front of him, which made the first-dragon dynasty soldiers eager to shake off the charcoal fire that fell into their necks, and could not move forward for the time being; then Wu Fan waved the charcoal furnace sideways, and a muffled sound of "dong dong dong" came, knocking several first-dragon dynasty soldiers who rushed to his side to knock out the first-dragon dynasty soldiers.

At this time, the first-row death warriors who were burned by charcoal fire rushed up again and cut down at Wu Fan with one sword. Wu Fan saw the opportunity and swung the charcoal furnace out in time. A clanging sound of metal intersecting suddenly erupted, but the charcoal furnace was held together with more than ten single swords, forming a knife-matching momentum. At the same time, dozens of powerful waves passed through Wu Fan's body, but in the state of fighting, Wu Fan was not hurt at all.
