Chapter 463 Hua Xiong Steals the Horse
The 11th year of Xiping, March
The night was silent, and the patrolling soldiers passed by this street, and Luoyang city was quiet.

A black shadow walked cautiously along the houses on the street, and looked around from time to time to confirm that there were no pedestrians before he dared to move on. He sneaked all the way to the center of Luoyang North City. Outside the county government office, at the gate of the mansion, there were two soldiers standing. Because of the late night, the two men were also a little tired and drowsy.

Only then did Heiying feel relieved, looked around, took out a stone from his waist, and lightly threw it in from the courtyard wall, and then listened seriously, but there was no sound, Heiying walked to the side again, and threw it again. Shizi, this time, he vaguely heard the sound of the horse rubbing its front hooves, and he threw it a little further, and suddenly, the horse neighed loudly!
Soi Ying was very excited, gearing up, waiting to act later.

After a long time, he was sure that there was nothing unusual around him, and then he jumped suddenly, grasping the courtyard wall with both hands, kicking off the wall with his legs, he rolled over, jumped lightly, and landed on the ground.

Hua Xiong breathed a sigh of relief, he finally jumped into the courtyard, and later he got on his horse and ran away from the front door. These people will definitely not be able to catch up with me. When the time comes, if they hide the horse again, they will not be able to escape. Any evidence can say that I stole the horse, hehe, maybe I can make them pay for my horse, Hua Xiong thought to himself, then raised his head and looked around.

At that moment, torches lit up around Hua Xiong, illuminating the place brightly.

Hua Xiong quickly stretched out his hand, covered his face, and looked over secretly.

On the opposite side is the enemy he thinks about day and night, Man Chong. At this moment, Man Chong is looking at him coldly, with some blood on his face, looking a little embarrassed. However, Hua Xiong doesn't dare to make fun of him, because, Still holding a stone in his hand, Man Chong spoke
"You threw this stone?"

"En..." Hua Xiong smiled awkwardly, and said, "Yes, I accidentally threw it in, and I was about to come in and look for it. It turned out that you picked it up. Thank you, thank you."

"En" Man Chong nodded.

"What? Hua Xiong is locked up?" Dong Zhuo jumped up suddenly.

Guan Yu said helplessly: "Man Chong handed him over to Tingwei directly for the crimes of violating the prohibition of night walks, stealing, trespassing, and injuring officials."

"Injured officer?? This guy still dares to do something in the official office?"

"That's not the case. I heard that he threw a stone inward, and it hit Man Chong's nose. Now Man Chong is still recovering."

"Mom!!" Dong Zhuo covered his forehead and scolded, "You're so stupid, you can do such stupid things."

"Dong Gong, what should I do?"

"Hey, what else can I do, I have to go to His Majesty, I just hope His Majesty can be punished lightly, after all, he is not a serious crime, but this bastard can't let him go so easily, you go to him."

"I?"

"Ask him face to face, where he wants to be buried after death, and what kind of coffin he wants!"

"it is good."

Dong Zhuo immediately tidied up his attire and went to the palace to meet the emperor. When he arrived at the gate of the palace, the soldiers went in to report. Dong Zhuo waited at the gate. After waiting for nearly half an hour, his forehead was sweating profusely before the soldiers came out to let him Inside, Dong Zhuo entered the palace out of breath, led by the Yellow Gate, all the way to the Houde Hall, the emperor was not in the palace.

He was sitting in the shade of a tree outside the door, behind him were two yellow men, holding cattail fans, fanning the wind, while the Son of Heaven was holding his newly born second son, Di, looking at something, Dong Zhuo came , did not dare to speak, stood aside, organizing words in his mind, the emperor did not leave him alone for too long, glanced at him, and asked: "Dong Gong is here, what is the matter?"

"Hey, Your Majesty is not about Hua Xiong." Dong Zhuo grinned and said in a low voice.

"Hua Xiong? What happened to him?"

"Your Majesty, don't embarrass me. Hua Xiong made a big mistake and I hope His Majesty will show mercy and forgive me, forgive me!"

"Forgive me?" The Son of Heaven turned his head, looked at him, and said, "Since the army under your command rushed to Luoyang and served as officials in various ministries, Luoyang has been in chaos! How do you manage the army? En? Take care of yourself." Look, those who rode horses in the downtown area, those who were drunk and injured people, and even those who were caught defecating in the street! Is this the general you brought out?!"

"Your Majesty, this is not a felony. Today's Wei Manchong in the north is really a cruel official. My subordinates ride horses, but... they never hurt anyone. He was arrested just for riding a horse. Also, drinking too much Hurt people, they were fighting each other, playing around, Man Chong arrested the two of them together, most of my subordinates are frontier generals, riding horses and drinking every day, thinking it is customary. Man Chong did this."

"You mean, Man Chong did something wrong?"

"I don't dare, it's just... this... well, I will be disciplined in the future, and I won't let such things happen again. I hope His Majesty will forgive this time."

The emperor looked at Dong Zhuo at the side, pondered for a long time, and said: "This time, I will bypass him, but I can't let your generals continue to act like this. In this way, I will order Zheng Gong to take it with you personally." The generals under his command, go to Menzi to study, Zheng Gong will personally deal with the law and so on, if anyone dares not to go, or dare not to obey, and cause trouble, I will never forgive you!!"

Dong Zhuo nodded immediately, and said with a smile, "Thank you, Your Majesty, thank you, Your Majesty."

Thanks again and again, Dong Zhuocai walked out of the palace, wiped off the sweat on his forehead, sighed helplessly, and walked towards the camp. When he arrived at the camp, he looked at Liu Mastiff and Zhuge Liang who were standing at the door. When they arrived at Dong Zhuo, they immediately paid homage to him. Dong Zhuo laughed and pulled them along, then entered the camp and returned to his main tent.

Liu Mastiff asked eagerly: "I heard that Captain Hua was imprisoned in Tingwei Prison? I wonder if Mr. Dong knows the news?"

Dong Zhuo said: "Your Highness, don't worry, this guy just did some stupid things, it doesn't matter, he can come out tomorrow, but ah, in the future, he will learn from me."

"Menzixue?" Liu Mastiff asked in surprise.

"That's right. Sigh, I don't know what His Majesty thinks, but let me lead this group of big bastards to study with Zheng Xuan!"

"Where did they learn to get in?" Dong Zhuo shook his head and said.

Zhuge Liang was stunned for a moment, and then said: "I heard that it seems that General Huang has also received such an order. From tomorrow onwards, he will also bring the army to the door to learn."

"Oh? They also have a fool like Hua Xiong?"

"This"

"This is a little strange. Why would His Majesty want to send us all to study? I'll just let it go. The Northern Army under General Huang has always had good military discipline. I have never heard of any troubles."

Dong Zhuo frowned, thinking hard, but couldn't figure it out.

Zhuge Liang already understood in his heart that the emperor definitely wanted to use these people, including Dong Zhuo, if they wanted to go to school, he wanted to help them improve their personal abilities, and then entrust him with important tasks. I can't forget it, but after Jia Gong became the captain, he didn't have any achievements, and the soldiers were dissatisfied. Could it be that the emperor wants to replace Jia Gong with Dong Gong?
He was thinking in his heart, but he didn't say it out, Dong Zhuo of course didn't continue to think about it, he immediately sent people to inform the generals that they will meet up in front of the camp at tomorrow morning, there is something important to do.

On Dong Zhuo's order, Guan Yu came to visit Hua Xiong.

Although Hua Xiong was imprisoned in Tingwei Prison, his life was not so bad. When Dong Zhuo and other generals returned to Luoyang, many military commanders and military marquises also returned together. Some of them were assigned to be thieves and county lieutenants in the local area, and some stayed in Luoyang to serve as court lieutenants and inner courts. Many of the wardens in the Tingwei prison were Hua Xiong's comrades when he was in the Northern Army.

Therefore, when Guan Yu came, he also saw a lot of acquaintances, and they didn't make things difficult for Guan Yu. They brought Guan Yu directly to Hua Xiong's place, and one of them shouted, "Hua Junhou, Guan Junhou is here to see you!" , this man was originally a soldier under Guan Yu's command. Later, he went to the Southern Army and followed Huangfusong. He brought Guan Yu to Hua Xiong.

Hua Xiong excitedly looked at Guan Yu in front of him, looked through the window, and smiled awkwardly, "Changsheng, are you here to save me?"

Guan Yu shook his head and said, "I just came to see you."

"Hey, what's the matter? Mr. Dong went to find Man Chong, and I was unlucky too. I threw stones just to find out where the horse was. Who would have thought that he wouldn't go back in the middle of the night, and would stay in the courtyard, throwing stones directly at him?" His face is... oh." Hua Xiong sighed.

The jailer left them behind, and left to guard the door.

Guan Yu sighed and asked, "Mr. Dong asked me to ask you a question."

"kindness?"

"Will you be buried in your hometown after you die, or directly in Luoyang?"

Hua Xiong was stunned. He stared at Guan Yu's face for a long time, then asked, "Longevity? Are you joking?"

Guan Yu shook his head solemnly.

At that moment, Hua Xiong's face turned pale, he opened his mouth wide, took a deep breath, and after a long silence, he said: "Let's be buried in Luoyang, I'm in my hometown, and I have no family, it's better here. "

"kindness"

"Changsheng. Apologize to Mr. Dong and Captain Yuan for me."

"kindness."

"Also, His Royal Highness and Kong Ming. Let them remember to pay respects to me every year."

"As for you, Changsheng. Sorry, I have no choice but to pay back your horse. I have no family and no friends. You are my best brother. The new house I bought is still worth some money. You Go sell it and trade it for a horse"

"Okay." Guan Yu said, turned around, and left the big prison, leaving only Hua Xiong standing in the prison blankly, looking at Guan Yu who was going away.

The next day, a jailer stepped forward, opened the door, and escorted Hua Xiong out. Hua Xiong was a little annoyed, and shouted, "Before I died, you didn't even give me a bite of food?? We used to behead the prisoners, You have to be fed, you are too unrighteous!"

The soldiers ignored him, held back their laughter, and pushed him out of the prison.

"Who made the rules for Ting Wei? Why didn't you give me a meal?! Oh, I know, I know, Yuan Gong said that it was someone who attacked me! It must be him, this guy has done a lot of harm! !" Hua Xiong was howling, but was pushed out of the Tingwei Mansion by the soldiers, the soldiers returned and closed the gate again, Hua Xiong was confused, turned around and saw that Guan Yu was waiting outside the door.

Only then did Hua Xiong come to his senses.

"Okay Guan Changsheng, you fooled me like this!!"

"Hahaha, my horse, you haven't compensated me yet, how can you let you die so easily?"
