The paper roll is unfolded, with a person's avatar painted on it.

At first glance, Zhang Meng felt a little familiar. His gaze was slightly moved and he saw four words: Pingyang Bao Xin.

Bao Xin is currently the cavalry commander and is from Taishan County, Yanzhou.

Taishan County has three famous families, namely the Yang family in Nancheng County, the Bao family in Nancheng County and the Yang family in Liangfu County. Bao Xin came from the Bao family in Nancheng County. Because today's Nancheng County is formed by the merger of Nancheng and Dongpingyang counties, the Bao family, which originally belonged to Dongpingyang County, prefers to call themselves the Bao family in Dongpingyang, which is abbreviated as the Bao family in Pingyang, and others follow this habit when calling them. In addition to Bao Xin, many people in the family work in the court and the country, and have a great political influence.

In May of this year, in order to fight against the Ten General Assesses, General He Jin followed Yuan Shao's advice and won over the scholars as help. He recruited more than 20 famous scholars from home as his aides in one go. Bao Xin was among the ranks.

In June, He Jin followed Yuan Shao's advice and summoned troops from other places to Beijing. At the same time, he sent several officials from the palace out of Luoyang to recruit soldiers. Bao Xin was ordered to return to his hometown Taishan County, and finally recruited about a thousand new recruits to return, almost the same time as Dong Zhuo. However, he seemed to be excluded and could not enter the city. Unexpectedly, he was wanted so soon.

"What crime did Bao Xin commit?" Zhang Meng asked.

Ritsumachi explained seriously: "It is a serious crime of treason!"

"rebellion?"

Zhang Meng smiled bitterly, thinking that there was no more outrageous crime than this. A reasonable explanation is that Bao Xinna He Jin's old party might not be willing to cooperate with Dong Zhuo, so like Ding Yuan, he was convicted of vain.

Li Zheng looked nervous and whispered: "Zhang Jun, have you seen him? This man is very dangerous. I heard that there is another army stationed outside the city. If he can't be captured, the city will be in danger!"

Such alarmist words can scare others and Zhang Meng. If Bao Xin could capture Luoyang, the capital of Chongyong and Hundred Pheasants, with only a thousand new soldiers, then the Han country was really exhausted and destroyed.

Zhang Meng naturally didn't know where Bao Xin was going and could not provide more clues. After repeatedly confirming it, Li Zheng took the people away.

However, this small storm brought a different shock to Zhang Meng. If he was just a first-time visitor two days ago, he was still looking down on the political storm of Dong Zhuo entering Beijing from a bystander perspective, then now he gradually felt that he was actually involved in the center of the storm, feeling the various vibrations brought by the storm all the time.

Not to mention that Zhang Meng has the knowledge of his previous life, even many others in the present can make quite accurate predictions about the situation. As Dong Zhuo is in power, there are only two choices in the situation: either resist to the end, escape in a hidden way or even die in a bad life, or adapt to the situation and rely on the new supreme power.

Ding Yuan and Bao Xin have made their choices, and more and more people will definitely make choices from the next step or be taken or taken action. At this critical moment, no matter what the choice is, the impact on individuals and even the entire situation will undoubtedly be huge.

The crossroads of fate are near, how should I face it?

Zhang Meng ate something at Zhang Chang's house and rinsed his body with well water. After a few days of dust, he became a little bit more serious.

Looking up again, the sky was already covered with sunset. Looking at the palaces and buildings in the distance, under the sunset, you can see light swallows passing by.

"Tomorrow will be a big sun!"

Shi A sat under the jujube tree and slept for an afternoon. When she woke up, she was full of energy and stretched.

Seeing that Zhang Meng had been thinking hard for a long time, Shan Zhong took a can of water and handed it to Zhang Meng to quench his thirst, and asked, "Zhang Jun, what should we do next? Are we going to enter the palace today?"

Zhang Meng thought for a moment and said, "Don't worry." He drank all the water in one breath and returned the empty ladle to Shan Zhong.

He said "no rush" was not a perfunctory word, but based on his judgment of the situation. Dong Zhuo did not see the guest, and the only explanation was that he was concentrating on integrating the forces of all aspects of the capital and discussing the aftermath of the political chaos with Yuan Wei and other important officials.

As a small man, he is a little slight person. Even if he sees Dong Zhuo, he cannot control the general trend. Instead, he may pay an unnecessary price. Considering this point, the most appropriate way is to wait and wait for the general trend to settle down.

Others can't imagine what direction the general trend will develop, but Zhang Meng thought that the reason why he was able to calm down was that his confidence came from. He knew that Dong Zhuo was about to give up a result that shocked the world - to abolish Liu Bian and change Liu Xie to the emperor!

This is Yuan Wei’s original intention to support Dong Zhuo, and it is also the biggest killer move to completely clear the power of He Jin’s remaining party and reshape the situation of the new dynasty.

In order to protect his reputation and his family, Yuan Wei found Dong Zhuo as his knife in his hand. Dong Zhuo in turn used Yuan Wei to achieve ambition to reach the sky. Even if Cao Cao is smart, he would never have expected that Yuan Wei and Dong Zhuo would use this method to achieve a balance of interests.

Once Liu Xie ascended the throne and the situation was stable, there would be no obstacles to entering the palace. Moreover, it is completely foreseeable to be promoted by his old friendship with the new emperor and his loyalty to protect him during the political chaos.

Zhang Mengshang was making plans for his future, and unexpectedly heard Zhang Hu's voice.

"Brother, my father spoke, but..."

Zhang Meng bounced up and said, "Uncle has woken up?"

Zhang Hu shook his head and said, "It seems like I've woken up, but I'm not awake. I'm talking about something repeatedly, and I'm listening to it in ambiguous way."

"I'll go inside and take a look." Zhang Meng pulled his feet and walked, and he knew the way to the inner room.

In order to ensure Zhang Chang's rest and peace, the inner room was covered with curtains, the light was very dim and the air was also turbid.

Zhang Meng touched the bed in the light of light, and sure enough, he heard Zhang Chang rumbling in his mouth. Although he was so angry, he didn't sound like nonsense.

"Second uncle, second uncle..."

Zhang Meng called softly, but he had never waited for Zhang Chang's response, but when he heard Zhang Chang still saying something, he squatted down, held his breath, and listened close to his ears.

"Slaves...slaves..."

When Zhang Meng heard this, he was a little surprised: "Dainu is my nickname. It turns out that what my uncle said is really related to me." Then he listened carefully, but Zhang Chang's voice was too thin and he tried to distinguish for a long time, and only heard a few words vaguely.

"Biyong...blind...eigner...and me, a substitute."

Zhang Meng was confused, wondering why these few words that were completely indisputable were brought together. After listening for a while, Zhang Chang kept silent, but there was a loud snoring sound. I think what he said just now was all the murmurs in his dreams.

"What dream did my uncle have? I dreamed of me, and also dreamed of Piyong and the Queen?"

"Slaves on behalf of others" does not need to be mentioned, but is easy to raise. It is a folk custom. "Piyong" is a place to respect Confucianism and perform ceremonies. It is hard to say that "Queen" is. When the son has no queen today, the previous queen is still the current Queen He.

"What are my Empress Dowager He and I doing in Piyong?" Zhang Meng made up for a while, laughing and crying, "I am still blind, who is blind?"

When he walked out of the inner room, Zhang Meng couldn't figure it out. Even if he thought it was absurd, he always felt that things were not that simple.

Zhang Hu asked, "Brother, what did he say?"

Zhang Meng sighed and said, "I don't know either, it's weird."

Zhang Hu pondered for a while and suddenly said, "Brother, two days ago, the city in the palace was in chaos. When Ah Father returned home from the yamen to hide, he was still clear about his consciousness. He had asked me to prepare paper and pen for him to write."

"write?"

"Yes, I was so scared at that time. I also thought that my father wanted to find a short-term view and left a last word and tried hard to persuade him. My father said that the situation was difficult to predict and some things must be written down in advance. If there is an accident, I will hand it over to you."

"Transfer to me..." Zhang Meng was full of suspicion, "Have you written it?"

"No, later the paper and pen were sent, and my father hesitated for some reason and did not start writing. Later, he fainted before he could write, and the paper and pen were still placed in the study."

Zhang Meng held his chin and thought to himself: "According to this point, my uncle does have important things to tell me. The strange words mentioned in his murmurs are probably related to this matter..." Thinking about this, looking at the sky, clenching his fists, "Oh, it's too late."

Zhang Hu asked, "What's too late?"

Zhang Meng said: "It's too late to leave the city, it's too late. I've been beating the drums in the closed door for a long time, and I can't leave the city."

Zhang Hu was shocked and suspicious: "Brother is going to leave the city now?"

Zhang Meng exhaled a long sigh and nodded. Biyong was in the southern suburbs of Luoyang City. Instead of being troubled by doubts, it is better to go and find out.

Zhang Hu was very worried: "The city gate is closed, so I'm afraid I can't get out. Moreover, there are many officers and soldiers patrolling in the city these two days, so it is strictly forbidden to walk at night. Brother, why not wait until the morning before leaving the city."

"Today's work is over today, I can't wait for that long." Zhang Meng suddenly thought of an idea, walked directly to the yard and patted Shan Zhong, "Zhong, it's time for you to perform!"

Shan Zhong was delighted at first, and then he was very depressed: "Zhang Jun, if it is the palace city, I can't get in."

Zhang Meng said: "If I don't go to the palace, I will leave the city immediately. Can you do it?"

"Get out of the city?" Shan Zhong was stunned, "It's a truth to go into the city and leave the city, of course it can be done... But Zhang Jun, where are we going?"

Zhang Meng said: "You just need to show your way and follow me after leaving the city."

When Shi A heard the conversation between the two, he jumped up and shouted, "Don't leave me, I'll go too!"

Zhang Meng said: "Brother Shi, it's okay for you to stay here."

Shi A-tou shook like a rattle: "No, no! I said that I must ensure Zhang Jun's safety at all times. Zhang Jun's trip is about to take risks, so how can I ignore him!"

Seeing that he was speaking earnestly, Zhang Meng couldn't bear to trash his wishes, so he immediately agreed.

The three of them were about to leave as they said, Zhang Hu was very worried and wanted to persuade him. Zhang Meng said, "Listen to me, don't behave like it. Just take care of the horses for me. Tonight, Kuiruo came to patrol the door and said that the three of me were gone."

When Zhang Hu heard this, even though he was uneasy, he still kept his siblings and did not dare to disobey his brother. He had to bow and say, "Promise."

Only then did Zhang Meng feel relieved and went out bravely with Shi A and Shan Zhong.
