Dong Zhuo had been a guard since he was a teenager. He had suppressed rebellions by the Xianbei and Qiang peoples, eliminated the Yellow Turban bandits, and put down the rebellions by Han Sui and Bian Zhang in Xiliang. He had fought in countless battles, big and small, but today was the first time he had been chased in such a miserable state. He felt like his soul was running out, and he whipped his horse's buttocks desperately, wishing he could give the horse a few more legs.

"call out……"

Sharp arrows flew in, knocking down the soldiers who fell behind one by one. Dong Zhuo watched as the number of people guarding him dwindled, and he shouted in fear, "Zhi Ran, go and stop the thieves, quickly!"

Li Jue glanced back and saw that there were only a few soldiers following him. His face turned pale. How could he stop them? If the horse slowed down even a little, it would mean death. Li Jue wanted to curse.

Several of them whipped their horses with all their might. Dong Zhuo and Li Jue's horses were fast, and Du Fei's horse was not bad either. During the pursuit, he had already put some distance between himself and the Golden Eagle Guards behind him. After dealing with the last three soldiers who fell behind, he was getting closer and closer to Dong Zhuo.

Just when Dong Zhuo thought he was doomed, he heard the faint sound of horse hooves from the front. Turning a corner, Dong Zhuo saw a horseman coming from afar. Although it was far away, he could not mistake the red horse. His desperate eyes suddenly lit up and he shouted desperately, "Fengxian, Fengxian, save me! Quick! Quick!"

Du Fei also turned around at this time, and shot another sharp arrow, hitting Li Jue who was one step behind. Li Jue endured the severe pain and leaned over the horse's back, holding the horse's neck with his arms to avoid falling off. However, this was just convenient for Du Fei.

Du Fei naturally saw that the person coming from the front was Lu Bu. He quickly drew the bowstring and aimed the tip of the arrow at the back of Dong Zhuo's neck.

In the distance, Lu Bu saw that it was too late, and with great fear in his heart, he did not care about anything else and quickly drew his bow and shouted, "Get down!"

Dong Zhuo subconsciously lay down, and at the moment Du Fei shot the crossbow, the arrow on Lu Bu's string whizzed out.

The two arrows were like meteors chasing the moon, and collided above Dong Zhuo's head with a ding sound. Dong Zhuo screamed and fell off his horse, frightened by the two arrows that fell on his back.

Du Fei's archery was taught by Lu Bu, and he knew Lu Bu's level very well. Since he missed the target with one arrow, continuing to stay and fight would not only fail to kill Dong Zhuo, but would also make things difficult for Lu Bu.

Du Fei quickly turned his horse around and fled. Seeing this, the other Golden Eagle Guards following behind him reined in their horses and turned back. The group that was originally chasing fast also fled fast.

Lü Bu rode over, dismounted, helped the badly fallen Dong Zhuo to his feet, and bowed to apologize, "My lord, please forgive me for being late!"

Dong Zhuo held his old waist, crying out in pain and roaring, "Fengxian, shoot those thieves! Kill them all! Kill them all!"

Lü Bu pretended to nock his arrows, but saw that the group had already turned the corner. Dong Zhuo wanted him to ride Red Hare to chase them, but Lü Bu said worriedly, "My lord, you have no one with you right now. What if these bandits have an ambush..."

Before Lu Bu could say anything, Dong Zhuo immediately said, "Yes, yes, yes, Fengxian can't leave, can't leave..."

Lu Bu asked, "Where are the others?"

Dong Zhuo said, "They are still in the valley ahead. Please quickly escort me out of the mountain and then go back to rescue them."

Lu Bu nodded and took Dong Zhuo and the seriously injured Li Jue out of Beimang Mountain.

"Just a little bit of time, just a little bit of time..."

On a hill not far away, Zhang Mo saw that Dong Zhuo was about to die from Du Fei's arrow but was saved by Lu Bu. Her eyes were full of regret and remorse. She was still not cruel enough. If she had been crueler to herself in the woods just now, Dong Zhuo's body would probably have been stiff by the time Lu Bu arrived.

A beauty trap without sacrificing one's looks is doomed to fail!

This Lu Bu had foreseen what would happen later and was familiar with the ministers in the court. With him being so loyal to Dong Zhuo, it would be difficult for those people to defeat Dong Zhuo. Zhang Mo seemed to have been able to foresee the future. When her father had no other choice, he could only push her out to alienate Lu Bu and Dong Zhuo.

Perhaps Dong Zhuo would refuse the temptation if he knew she was Lu Bu's beloved, but she felt that even if Dong Zhuo refused, those cunning court officials would have other ways.

Thinking of He Jin's death, Zhang Mo felt a chill in her heart. A great Han general leading the army had been tricked by the Yuan family, leading to a miserable death at the hands of a eunuch. She had always assumed that Zhang Rang and his men had murdered He Jin, but that day, after hearing her father describe the Yuan family's actions, she was certain they were behind everything.

Zhang Mo had no intention of getting involved in the fight between the scholars and Dong Zhuo. She didn't care who won or lost. She just wanted to save her life, her own life and the Wang family's. Since the fight between the two sides was bound to break out sooner or later, and the assassination had failed, she could only try other methods.

She looked at the Luoyang City in the distance, sighed heavily, turned and walked down the mountain.

…………

In the valley, Hua Xiong and Dong Yue's faces were so ugly that they could not be described. They never dreamed that the Western Liang Army, which had roamed all over Western Liang and killed countless enemies, would be like a weakling in the hands of this mysterious team. This was certainly due to the panic and low morale of the soldiers caused by the sudden attack, but even if there was no sudden attack, in a head-on confrontation, these 800 Western Liang soldiers would probably not be able to defeat this group of bandits.

Hua Xiong looked around and saw that there were only about two hundred of his men left on the battlefield, while the enemy did not suffer too many casualties because of their extremely strong armor.

Not far away, Dong Yue approached Hua Xiong while fighting, shouting, "My lord should have run far away, let's run away too!"

Hua Xiong glanced at the road behind him, nodded, and was about to break out of the encirclement when a rider suddenly appeared from the side and blocked his way.

Hua Xiong took a look and saw that the man was wearing a mask and was one of the leaders.

"Well, I'm so angry I don't know where to vent it, and you bump into me, you thief, take this blow from your grandpa Hua!" Hua Xiong shouted and raised his knife to chop at the man.

The person who came to stop Hua Xiong was Xu Huang. Before he came, he had seen the portrait given by A Mo. If he could not kill Dong Zhuo, he would kill several generals in the portrait, and the person in front of him was in the portrait.

Xu Huang dodged Hua Xiong's blade by leaning sideways, and quickly counterattacked with the axe in his hand, slashing diagonally towards Hua Xiong. Hua Xiong tilted his sword handle to block the axe, and the two men retracted their weapons and quickly attacked each other.

After only two rounds, Hua Xiong clearly felt that this man's martial arts skills were amazing and were almost on par with his own. He put away his contempt and focused all his attention on the fight. Xu Huang was unable to defeat him for a while.

On the other side, Guan Hai also started fighting against Dong Yue. Guan Hai had been taught martial arts by Lu Bu, and had often fought with Xu Chu and others in recent years. Since he was not as strong as Xu Chu, he focused on speed and was able to fight with Xu Chu for nearly a hundred rounds.

Dong Yue exchanged a few blows with Guan Hai and felt he would die if he continued fighting. He kept looking for a chance to escape, but Guan Hai's hands were too fast and he failed despite several attempts. He wanted to ask Hua Xiong for help, but Hua Xiong was already having trouble coping on his own. He saw Li Su not far away and shouted, "Zi Zheng, save me."

Li Su was Lu Bu's man, so Zhang Mo naturally couldn't kill him, so Li Gui and Zhang Fan who surrounded him fought him relatively gently.

Li Su vaguely felt that the other party seemed to be showing some mercy to him, but he was not too sure. He forced Zhang Fan back with a knife and was about to ride his horse to rescue Dong Yue, but was stopped by Li Gui again.

Li Su had retreated to the periphery at this time. His martial arts skills were not bad, and if he tried his best, he could still repel Li Gui and Zhang Fan. Seeing that Dong Yue was about to collapse, he was about to fight desperately but suddenly remembered that if Dong Yue died, Fengxian would have one less enemy. Why should he save him?

At this moment, Dong Yue was caught off guard and was beheaded by Guan Hai with a knife.
