526. Between life and death

On the second day of the Northern Army Camp.

Halfway through the camp gate, Liu Long, the general who killed the captives, drove his horse straight in. The horse hooves almost kicked the officer who opened the door. The officer dodged and shouted loudly: "There is no horse to gallop in the camp. This is Your Majesty's strict order. Please dismount the general who killed the captives!"

Before he finished speaking, he was whipped on his face. The captain He Cheng, who was following Liu Long, scolded: "Military information is urgent, and there is an order to summon the generals to discuss matters. Who dares to stop the general? If you miss the military plane, can you afford it?"

The military officer was stunned for a moment, but he did not dare to come forward to intercept him again. He watched Liu Long and his group ride into the camp.

Liu Long rushed straight to the central army's tent, and He Cheng shouted from behind: "Your Majesty has an order, and quickly summon the five lieutenants to the tent to discuss matters!"

The Northern Army was the guard guarding the capital in the Han Dynasty. He was initially the lieutenant commander. During the reign of Emperor Wu of Han, the Northern Army was expanded and divided into eight divisions. All of its generals were called the lieutenant. Liu Xiu also combined the eight divisions of the Northern Army into five divisions, and divided them into five divisions, called the Five Divisions of the Northern Army, and was led by the Jinwu Jia Fu. Because Jia Fu followed Liu Xiu to the south to fight, the Northern Army was temporarily led by the former general Li Tong.

At this time, the Northern Army was the most powerful armed force in Handan City, and it was also a force that Liu Long and others must take. Two of the five Northern Army colleges participated in the rebellion and conspiracy. The other three lieutenants, Liu Long, were planning to summon them with a forged imperial edict, kill them all, replace them with his own confidant, and fully control the Northern Army.

Liu Long rushed to the tent, and before the horse could stop, he jumped off the horse, swung the reins in his hand, almost throwing them to the face of the follower behind him. The follower hurriedly caught the reins and held the horse behind him.

Liu Long stepped forward, a military officer walked forward, saluted him, and shouted: "Please kill the general in charge of the tent!"

Liu Long suddenly stopped his feet, glanced his eyes left and right, and asked, "Who are you? Where are Zhang Yanling?"

Zhang Yanling was a subordinate of the Tunqi Captain and also the "personal person" of the rebels. Logically speaking, he should guard this big tent today, and he would lead Liu Long to the account. Liu Long has been engaged in intelligence work for many years and is extremely sensitive to military deployment. Now that he has changed his generals temporarily, the guards are also very ill, so he immediately asked questions.

The military officer said: "The last general Zhao Shen is the general of the Tunqi camp. General Zhang has something to do for a while. The captain of the Tunqi sent him other missions. Today, the big tent will be guarded by the last general."

"Oh," Liu Long responded, but did not move his steps.

Seeing him hesitated, Zhao Shen said, "General, don't be doubtful, the lieutenant of the Tunqi is waiting for the marquis in the tent."

Liu Long said again: "Is the infantry captain here too?"

"Here, both the captains are in General Gonghou!" Zhao Shen answered without hesitation.

Liu Long suddenly turned around, took the reins from his entourage's hand, pulled his war horse to him, and said, "I forgot to feed the horses when I came out. I'm sorry to find someone who is right and make up for him some night grass."

Zhao Shen immediately turned around and called out, "Come here, the horse that will kill the general's horse..."

Before he finished speaking, he suddenly saw Liu Long turn his horse on his back, turn his head, whip the horse under his crotch like crazy, and run wildly towards the way he comes!

Zhao Shen shouted behind him: "Punish the General! Why are you leaving?"

Liu Long seemed to have not heard it, but just rushed forward. More than a hundred riders who came with him hurriedly got on the horse and followed him in a hurry.

Former General Li Tong ran out of the tent, pointed his finger at Liu Long's back, and shouted: "Stop him! Take down the thief Liu Long for me!"

After hearing this, the soldiers outside the tent drew their swords and rushed forward to chase after him. However, Liu Long reacted very quickly. He was already hundreds of steps away, turned around a military tent, and rushed directly towards the camp gate!

There was a chaos in the northern military camp, and the soldiers ran towards the camp gate, shouting as they ran: "Close the camp gate! Capture the rebel Liu Long!"

Li Tong paused in anger and said, "Why did you reveal the flaws? Let this thief notice it? Kill! I will pass on the order of the rebel Liu Long and his followers, kill them without any hesitation!"

Liu Long lay on the horse's back, deafing his ears at everything around him, and staring at the front. Not far ahead was the military camp gate, which was closed, but the more than ten guards who had just left here suddenly attacked, chopped down several guards, and opened half of the camp gate.

Liu Long stared at the camp gate dozens of steps away, with only one thought in his mind: rush out!

He still has a glimmer of life when he rushed out. As long as he rushed out of this camp gate, there was the West City Gate of Handan not far away. The city gate captain was their own, so he would not stop him. As long as he left Handan City and fled westward, he would have the opportunity to enter the Taihang Mountains and escape from the heavens.

At this time, this small camp gate is the threshold for his life and death. If you rush out, you will live, and if you can't rush out, you will die!

Thirty steps, twenty steps, ten steps.

Liu Long finally rushed to the camp gate before the camp gate was closed again. Half of the horse had already left the wooden door, and only the ponytail was still inside the door.

His heart beat like a drumbeat. It seems that God has not completely abandoned him. The result this time is: life!

Before he could taste the joy of his life after the disaster, he suddenly felt a strange feeling in his heart, as if he was bitten by a mosquito, and then there was a severe pain.

Liu Long had a feather arrow inserted on his back, and he fell down on the horse, hitting his head heavily on the wooden fence of the camp gate, and his body fell to the ground, without moving any more.

Dozens of steps behind him, the captain He Cheng raised the bow in his hand and shouted: "The thief Liu Long has been killed!"

Liu Long didn't know until he died. His Majesty, the Emperor who seemed to trust him so much, actually placed a secret son beside him, in order to monitor his every move and give him a fatal blow at critical moments.

After a thrilling night in Handan City, it seemed that it did not affect the sleep of the residents in the city. A glimmer of light had just been revealed in the sky, and hardworking people were already busy.

The sky was faintly red, and it looked like a good weather. Today's day was the same as yesterday, and there was no change.

Liu Ci, the Marquis of Ancheng, did not sleep all night and sat upright in the study. His face had no expression on his face, his eyes were slightly closed. On the desk in front of him, Bai Lian, who was more than a foot long, was placed.

The door of the room was pushed open suddenly in the morning light, and the Jiacheng almost fell in. He held the door frame and said anxiously and anxiously: "Mr. Marquis, the people from nowhere have come from, surrounded the Marquis' Mansion. You, come out and take a look!"

Liu Ci slowly opened his eyes, as if he was facing Jiacheng, and as if he was looking at himself. He said, "What should come will always come."

The head of the family was a little at a loss and stuttered: "Mr. Marquis, but..."

"Song'er has been away for a few days... she must have reached Hukou Pass, right?" Liu Ci looked up and looked west, as if he was passing through the walls, passing through the mountains of Taihang Mountain.

After saying this, Liu Ci seemed to have lost his strength. He waved his hand tiredly and said, "You go down first!"

After driving away the secretary of the family, Liu Ci stood up with the desk, reached out to take Bai Lian on the desk, bypassed the desk, raised his head, and looked at the beam on the roof.

Liu Ci, the Marquis of Ancheng, hanged himself in the mansion on the first day of September of the eighth year of Jianwu.

His nephew, Liu Xin, the king of Zichuan, escaped from Handan City at night, but did not escape. He was captured in a small town more than ten miles away and was taken back to Handan and imprisoned to die.
