Super Cultivation System of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 435: Changes in the Prison
In the hall, Cao Cao was holding the imperial edict with a somewhat gloomy expression.

"What a Liu He! He is indeed not easy to deal with..."

Cheng Yu also frowned. "Once this edict is issued, the ten great princes who attacked Hulao Pass in defiance of the emperor's edict will surely secretly be on guard, even if they will not take the initiative to become enemies of our army. They have gained Yanzhou, but have made many enemies. They wanted to kill with a borrowed knife, but they did not expect that our army would also become the knife in Liu He's hand."

"Not only that. All the princes in the world are swords in his hands. He can use our army to deal with the princes, and also let the princes deal with us. No matter who wins or loses, he can reap the benefits."

Another counselor said.

For a moment, the atmosphere became somewhat heavy.

A general with a square face and very furry eyebrows came out and said, "Why are you all so sad? Nowadays, there are disputes in the country and it is reasonable to fight with the princes. Even without the imperial edict, it is a matter of time. As long as we assist Meng De wholeheartedly, Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu and others are nothing to worry about. Why worry?"

He said this and Cao Cao immediately smiled.

"Okay, Zixiao, what you said makes sense. No matter what, Yanzhou has at least fallen into my hands. Let's have a big banquet tonight and celebrate with drinks!"

Luoyang City, Tianlao.

Dong Zhuo, Li Ru, Li Jue, Guo Si, Lu Bu and others were all imprisoned here.

According to the emperor's decree, these people were extremely evil and unforgivable. Dong Zhuo sentenced them to death by slow slicing, and the rest were beheaded. Originally, they were supposed to be executed on the spot, but a minister suggested that they should be tortured in the prison and then executed in autumn, which would be more shocking, so they were allowed to live until today.

It was late at night, the moon was dark and the wind was strong, and you couldn't see your hand in front of you.

The Sky Prison was originally located in a remote corner of the city. At this moment, the only sound around it was the rustling of leaves, and occasionally the cooing or chirping of a few unknown birds.

At this time, several dark shadows flashed past the outside of the prison and hid in a corner.

Not long after, there was a sudden burst of flames and thick smoke.

Although it was midsummer, there were gusts of cool breeze at night, which fanned the flames. The fire quickly spread, followed by bursts of neighing of war horses, which soon alarmed the guards in the prison.

"Oh no! The stable is flooded. Go put out the fire!"

Batch after batch of guards ran out of the prison, you carrying a bucket and he carrying a basin.

However, there was already a lot of hay in the stable, which was very flammable. In a short period of time, the fire grew instead of subsided, causing the guards to panic.

After a while, the city patrol guards discovered the abnormality and came to help.

With the joint efforts of everyone, it took a lot of effort to put out the fire.

The jailers were all covered in dust and dirt, their sweet dreams had been awakened and everyone was filled with anger.

"Damn it, the water just flowed away and disturbed my sweet dream."

"Okay, go back to sleep."

A group of jailers returned to their rooms, trying to continue their previous sweet dream.

However, just as they were beginning to feel a little sleepy again, a scream echoed throughout the prison.

"Damn it, who the hell are you yelling for?"

A group of jailers jumped out of their beds, trying to find the screaming man and settle the score.

However, at this moment, a man ran out in panic from the deepest part of the prison.

"Something big has happened, something big has happened, a disaster, a disaster..."

In the general's mansion, a jailer who came to report had just retreated in fear, and the mansion was plunged into an atmosphere of anger.

"Who on earth is so bold as to rob the prison and let the serious criminal go!" Liu He was furious.

"My lord, I think this is a strange thing. Dong Zhuo and the others should have been executed immediately, but several ministers advised that they should be imprisoned in the Tianlao first and then executed. Now in the middle of the night, someone set fire to the stable and took the opportunity to cut the iron chain and rescue Lu Bu. And from the traces at the scene, the other party obviously wanted to take Li Ru away, but according to the jailer's statement, Li Ru was already desperate and didn't want to escape. Based on all these, the other party must have planned it for a long time. My lord, you should order people to investigate from the person who advised the original."

"Not only that, I think the people guarding the city gates that night should also be strictly checked."

"Investigate! Investigate immediately. I was worried that I couldn't catch them with anything serious. Hehe, now that they have come to me, don't blame me for being ruthless!"

Outside the city of Luoyang, after crossing the Yellow River, on a secret mountain road more than a hundred miles northeast.

Here in the territory of Hanoi County, several figures who were galloping on horseback seemed a little tired and slowly stopped.

"General Lu, we have been running all night. It is already dawn today and we have arrived in Hanoi. Liu He must be unable to catch up. Let's rest for a while."

The figure in front of him was very tall and mighty, and at first glance he was a rare and fierce general in the world. When he heard the man's shout, he stopped his horse and turned around. It was Lu Bu.

He looked towards Luoyang for a long time with a somewhat panicked look on his face. Although there was indeed no sign of any pursuers, he was still worried.

"No, that little thief Liu He has very powerful cavalry under his command. We should continue on our journey until we enter Shangdang territory, and then we will be safe."

After saying that, he didn't care whether the people around him agreed or not, and continued to run wildly.

When those people saw this, they felt helpless.

"What a brave general in the world! He is just as cowardly as a mouse."

"That's right. I don't know why the patriarch went to so much trouble to rescue him."

Several people whispered.

They thought that Lu Bu could not hear, but Lu Bu was an extraordinary martial artist and naturally had extraordinary hearing, so he heard their words clearly.

He suddenly became furious.

"what are you saying!"

He was nearly ten feet tall, and when he got angry, he was extremely powerful. His aura alone was enough to scare those people so much that they held back all their words.

"Um... General Lu, please don't be angry. I apologize for being too talkative..."

He said so, but the contempt in his eyes remained.

Lu Bu had been defeated repeatedly by Liu He and others, which he considered a great humiliation. Now, as he was fleeing, his nerves were already tense. When he saw his expression, his rage increased by three points.

"How dare you mock this general? Die!"

He swung his Fang Tian Hua Ji, and those people's heads fell to the ground before they could even scream.

After killing these people, the pent-up anger in his heart seemed to be released, and Lu Bu's mood eased a little.

He looked in the direction of Luoyang with great resentment.

"Liu He... I will come back sooner or later! I, Lu Bu, will demand back from you tenfold or a hundredfold the humiliation I have suffered!"

He jumped off his horse, searched several people for water bags and dry food, and then continued on his way.

Just two days later, several men in black suddenly appeared and found the bodies. After a search, they put them on horseback and galloped away.
