Through observations from the human book, Liu Zhaoqing knew that these two ferocious beasts were not transformed by ordinary people, but should be beasts raised in the palace.

"My lord, don't worry, they are just two chickens and dogs."

Zhao Yun, along with Liu Zhaoqing, rode the white dragon and leaped suddenly, avoiding the two ferocious beasts that were pouncing on them.

Then the white dragon quickly turned around and rushed towards the ferocious beasts that had not yet stabilized their bodies. Zhao Yun swung the spear in his hand and swept it with just one shot, killing the two ferocious beasts with one blow.

Turning around again, Zhao Yun and Liu Zhaoqing entered the palace.

However, they encountered many palace maids and attendants who had escaped from the palace, and even some of Dong Zhuo's men.

Liu Zhaoqing originally thought that the generals and soldiers under Dong Zhuo were going to stop him, but he never expected that they looked surprised when they saw Liu Zhaoqing, as if they did not expect Liu Zhaoqing to break in here so quickly.

Then he immediately pointed in a direction and shouted, "Dong the thief is over there!"

Zhao Yun was stunned when he heard this.

As a minister, it is so disloyal. Even Han Fu's subordinates did not have such "guides". One can imagine what kind of people are around Dong Zhuo.

----

At the same time, deep inside the imperial palace.

Unlike the chaos outside the imperial palace and in Luoyang City, the inner palace was unusually stable.

The emperor's royal guards had long been used as cannon fodder to fill the city walls. At this time, the inner palace was completely occupied by Dong Zhuo's personal guards, so naturally no one dared to act rashly.

These personal guards were stationed in the palace before the battle began, and their leader was also the strongest general under Dong Zhuo, Lu Bu.

"Prime Minister." Lu Bu lowered his head.

A woman with disheveled hair and many injuries on her body walked in from outside the door, followed by the equally injured White Wolf.

The generals beside Lu Bu were also shocked when they saw Dong Zhuo like this.

Then he immediately said: "Come here, prepare some toiletries for the Prime Minister!"

Dong Zhuo raised his hand: "No need to bother."

Then she looked at the man and said, "Niu Fu, you followed me to fight in Xiliang a long time ago and have been loyal to me for many years."

Niu Fu bowed his head quickly: "It is my greatest fortune in this life to be appreciated by the Prime Minister."

"I walked all the way from the city wall to the palace and met many familiar people," Dong Zhuo said calmly.

"There were ministers who were against me and led the people in riots, and there were also many people who seemed to be 'loyal' before, but they drove away."

Hearing this, Niu Fu, who was a sturdy man with two mustaches, frowned immediately and said, "The Prime Minister should have chopped off these bastards long ago."

"Yes, it should have been chopped off long ago." Dong Zhuo sneered.

In the eerily quiet inner palace, the wind would often blow suddenly.

Under the daylight, the wind was still as cold as at night. It blew into the hall from outside the door. As the gauze curtains swayed, the people standing in the hall also felt their hands and feet become cold.

"You are the generals I trust the most, so I asked you to guard the palace." Dong Zhuo looked at Lu Bu, Niu Fu and others.

"Now do you think we are doomed?"

No one answered, but silence was the best answer.

"No." Dong Zhuo suddenly narrowed his eyes, a fierce look appearing on his face.

"We haven't lost yet, and we shouldn't lose."

"We still have the entire imperial palace and the entire Han Dynasty as our foundation."

"Niu Fu, there is an important thing that you must complete." Dong Zhuo looked at Niu Fu.

"The palace treasury contains a large number of treasures that the Han Dynasty has collected over the years, including many magical weapons. Go and take them all out."

Niu Fu immediately bowed his head and saluted: "I obey your command."

After Niu Fu left, Dong Zhuo looked at Lu Bu and said, "Follow me first."

"Prime Minister." Lu Bu lowered his head slightly.

"How is your injury?"

"There is still a little pain, but it's nothing serious." Lu Bu replied.

"That's good." Dong Zhuo nodded, and then said, "Do you know why I didn't let you lead the charge, or rather, participate in the battle?"

Lu Bu thought for a moment and said, "The Prime Minister needs me to intimidate the palace, and he needs me to carry out the plan to release the Mandate of Heaven."

Dong Zhuo was slightly surprised: "Fengxian's wisdom has improved a lot."

Lu Bu lowered his head slightly.

After experiencing many failures, Lu Bu realized that although he was strong, he was not invincible. He thought about many things and gradually became less reckless than before.

"These are only some of the reasons." Dong Zhuo continued, "Fengxian is in this inner palace. Even if an accident like the one now happens, you can leave safely."

Lu Bu looked slightly surprised.

What Dong Zhuo meant was that she was thinking about Lu Bu's own safety.

"However, that situation will not occur." Dong Zhuo said calmly.

Then he reached out and stroked the white wolf that was licking its wounds, and then said: "Let's go to the ancestral temple to meet the emperor."

"Those rebels are about to enter Luoyang City. Now is the perfect time to catch them."

-

Zhao Yun and Liu Zhaoqing ran wildly in the palace.

The imperial palace was extremely large and complex, but with the guidance of Dong Zhuo's former subordinates, Liu Zhaoqing at least knew which way to go.

He went deeper into the palace and was blocked by some soldiers.

But under Zhao Yun's spear, these soldiers who were considered Dong Zhuo's personal guards and whose strength was at most equivalent to that of Ren Zi Ren Jie could not last even one round.

Soon Liu Zhaoqing arrived deeper into the palace.

"Dong Zhuo has returned here now, most likely to find the emperor." Liu Zhaoqing said.

So all they had to do was find the palace where the emperor was. Without further ado, Zhao Yun looked up and scanned the area, then said, "My lord, there are people over there. Shall we go and capture a few of them and ask them?"

They did as they said. Liu Zhaoqing and Zhao Yun immediately headed towards Dong Zhuo's subordinates who were marching over there.

The white horse jumped up from the other side of the wall, blocking the men's way.

"Liu Zhaoqing?!"

The leader seemed extremely surprised. Liu Zhaoqing looked at him with a sturdy figure. As far as he could remember, he didn't seem to have seen this man among Dong Zhuo's ministers on the city wall on the east side of Luoyang.

But this is no longer important, Liu Zhaoqing doesn't care who he is.

"Tell me where the emperor is and I will spare your life." Liu Zhaoqing said.

I thought this person would immediately give in, just like those traitors, and quickly tell me the news.

But unexpectedly, he glared and immediately ordered his six men to besiege them.

"Since the Prime Minister took over Luoyang, he has been stabilizing the situation. You rebels have united to rebel in order to fight for territory. Now, not only have you caused chaos in Luoyang, but you also dared to break into the imperial palace. You deserve to be killed!" Niu Fu shouted sternly.

"Slander!" Zhao Yun snorted coldly.

"Slander?" Niu Fu sneered, "Ask him if he really wants to support the Han Dynasty?"

"Even if the Prime Minister doesn't know, Mr. Sima has made it very clear. Liu Zhaoqing, every step you take is to strengthen yourself, in order to welcome the day when 'the destiny comes'."

"And the demise of the Prime Minister is the beginning of your journey to heaven!"

"You can only do all this in a chaotic world. You hope for chaos more than anyone else!"

Liu Zhaoqing frowned, but he was not upset by the man's slander.

In fact, Liu Zhaoqing opposed Dong Zhuo because he did not want to sit back and watch Dong Zhuo become more powerful, and the "turbulent times" could not be started or ended by his words alone. This was a historical inevitability.

What Liu Zhaoqing cared about was "Mr. Sima" mentioned by Niu Fu.

"Sima Yi is in the palace?"

"He left a long time ago. He is trying to find a way out for the Prime Minister." Niu Fu sneered, "So, Liu Zhaoqing, do you really think you can win?"

Sima Yi was planning a way out for Dong Zhuo?

Without even thinking too much about it, Liu Zhaoqing could conclude that this was just a casual remark made by Sima Yi to fool Niu Fu.

But this also reminded Liu Zhaoqing of something.

"Be careful of his demonization." He whispered to Zhao Yun.

Since he had contact with Sima Yi, Niu Fu might also have the ability to use vicious beasts as earth spirits and transform from an earth-level hero into a demonized sky-level hero.

Afterwards, when Zhao Yun knocked Niu Fu to the ground with two moves, as expected, Niu Fu gritted his teeth and became blood-thirsty.

"The Prime Minister's order must be fulfilled!"

But after Liu Zhaoqing's reminder, Zhao Yun, who was already prepared, drew out the long sword at his waist before Niu Fu could reach into his clothes, jumped off his horse and directly split him in half.

Then Liu Zhaoqing grasped the sword and kicked it away, and the long sword directly pierced the falling squirming flesh.

Accompanied by a puff of green smoke, Liu Zhaoqing also prevented an unnecessary demonic battle.

Then Liu Zhaoqing looked at the followers brought by Niu Fu. Several followers immediately knelt down and told Liu Zhaoqing the direction of the emperor and Dong Zhuo.

"Let's go, let's keep moving forward."

Liu Zhaoqing got behind Zhao Yun again, put away his sword and continued to go deeper into the palace.

He glanced at Niu Fu out of the corner of his eye.

In addition to the opportunistic villains and terrible vampire leeches around Dong Zhuo, there are also people like Niu Fu who are loyal to him.

It’s a pity that Dong Zhuo had the opportunity to leave Luoyang, but because he was reluctant to do so, or couldn’t give up power, he let these most important people who were loyal to him die one by one.

No matter in troubled times or prosperous ones, nothing under your team is more important than "people".

This is the truth that Liu Zhaoqing has understood since his debut, but not all the princes in the world understand it.

-

On the other side, led by Lu Bu, Dong Zhuo walked quickly through the corridor.

After winding through two small gardens and three corridors, they arrived in front of a magnificent palace.

When the eunuch at the entrance of the hall saw Dong Zhuo and Lu Bu coming, a look of fear and panic suddenly appeared on his face.

"General Lu, and, and the Prime Minister!!"

The eunuch's voice was very loud and he seemed to be trembling with fear, but in fact he was loudly reminding the people in the hall of the arrival of Dong Zhuo and Lu Bu.

Dong Zhuo looked at him coldly, and the eunuch immediately knelt down.

After Dong Zhuo entered the hall, the eunuch breathed a sigh of relief, but the next second a white wolf pressed him to the ground. In his terrified eyes, the fangs in his eyes quickly enlarged.

"what!!"

Hearing the screams from behind, Lu Bu paused slightly, but Dong Zhuo did not stop at all.

After passing through several curtains, I saw a petite figure wearing an imperial robe.

Dong Zhuo frowned slightly: "Why are you here?"

In front of the emperor, some ministers including Wang Yun were sitting on the ground.

"We will live and die with Your Majesty!" Wang Yun's eyes were as sharp as swords, staring at Dong Zhuo.

"Wang Yun used the prime minister's false edict to enter the palace. Since the prime minister was commanding the battle and these people held high positions, I took the initiative to arrange them here and hand them over to the prime minister for disposal when he returns." Lu Bu explained.

"My fake edict?" Dong Zhuo glanced at them and then said, "It was able to deceive my personal guards and even Fengxian..."

"It should be Cai Yong, right?"

Cai Yong was not among the ministers, but the expressions of Wang Yun and others said it all.

Then Dong Zhuo snorted coldly and walked forward.

Wang Yun and several other ministers immediately moved closer. Although they were panicked in the face of Dong Zhuo, they looked very determined.

Dong Zhuo glanced at Wang Yun and others, then turned his gaze elsewhere.

"Don't worry, I am a Han minister, how could I hurt Your Majesty."

Of course Wang Yun and others did not believe this nonsense, as the incident of King Hongnong was imminent.
