The 58th time Li Wenyou doubted and suspected Yang's general, who laughed and rushed to his death.

  The battle at Hu Lao Guan and Ze Shui Guan was in full swing, while inside the city of Luoyang, there were open struggles and secret battles, with crises lurking everywhere.

  The faint sunlight that shone through the window moistened Wang Yun's already very old face, he leaned on the chair, his eyes were distant, as if thinking of something.

  A suffocating feeling that had never been felt before lingered in the air, but Wang Yun still refused to take a step out of the door. He had endured for so many days, and he didn't care about this moment either.

  Dong Zhuo mobilized his troops and led them to the Tiger Trap Pass, which was a rare opportunity for him. However, Dong Zhuo still had an ace up his sleeve, as he actually increased the number of soldiers guarding the Minister's mansion, ostensibly to protect Wang Yun's safety, but with an obvious ulterior motive.

  Just as Wang Yun was still thinking about how to break through this surveillance state and launch a counterattack, an old slave whispered outside the door: "Sir, the soldiers in front of the door have all withdrawn!"

  Wang Yunyi listened and immediately got up from his chair, rushed to the front of the house to check, and found that the soldiers guarding around the Situ Mansion had indeed disappeared without a trace.

  "Wang Situ, long time no see!" Wang Yun, standing in front of the gate, looked up and could hardly believe his eyes. Huang Wan, Zheng Gongyi, Yang Zan, and Shi Sunrui had all rushed over together.

  "How did you all come?"

  Looking at Wang Yun's different appearance, Huang Wan said: "Speak in the house!"

  After Wang Yun invited them to the inner hall, Yang Zu immediately said: "Just now, Li Ru has taken the few bandits in Luoyang to Hu Lao Pass! It is heard that Dong Zhuo was defeated by the allied forces at Hu Lao Pass, and Li Ru was ordered to go and support him!"

  Wang Yunduan picked up the teacup and took a sip of the fragrant tea, then furrowed his brow: "I think this matter is very suspicious. Even if Dong bandit was defeated at Tiger Trap Pass, he should have sent Li Cui and Guo Si, who were stationed in Suishui Pass, to provide assistance instead. What's the use of sending Li Ru, a scholar with no military power?"

  Huang Wan smiled and said, "It seems that Wang Situ is not aware of the situation. I heard that Li Cui and Guo Si were also defeated by surprise by the governor of Changsha! If the Pass of Tong is lost, how can the Tiger Trap Pass still exist? Therefore, at this time, Dong bandit will only let them hold on and not let them go to rescue. Besides, although Li Ru is a scholar, he is good at using strategies, it's not surprising that Dong bandit is calling him now."

  "Is this news true?"

  "Huang Wan said: 'Absolutely true! Huang has a confidant who has been lurking in Li Ru's mansion for a long time. He also unintentionally heard this news. At that time, there were soldiers questioning Li Ru, if he took away all the soldiers guarding our mansion, would we dare to rebel? Li Ru actually said that Wang Zifu, you are cautious by nature and will not dare to act rashly. Besides, he thinks that Dong Zhuo is defeated, but his strength is still there, even if we rebel, it's impossible to escape Luoyang City...'"

  Hearing Huang Wan say this, Wang Yun slammed his fist on the table and stood up, saying: "Good! The time has come, this heaven-sent opportunity has finally been waited for by us!"

  Yang Can and Shi Sun Rui saw this, stood up on their horses and shouted in unison: "The brave warriors under your command have been waiting for orders for a long time, please let the Duke of Wang issue instructions!"

  Wang Yun said, "I will immediately send a letter to Yuan Shu, ordering him to command the various lords to launch a fierce attack on Tiger Trap Pass. Once the battle starts, you two will divide into two teams: one team will surround the Prime Minister's mansion, and the other team will follow me as we storm into the Imperial Palace!"

  "Got it!" Yang Zan and Shi Sun Rui quickly went down to prepare.

  Wang Yun immediately ordered his own slaves to arm themselves and prepare to eliminate the rebels.

  After everything was ready, Wang Yun, Huang Wan and Zheng Gongyi waited anxiously in the Ministry of Works for news from the Battle of Tiger Trap Pass.

  Around dusk that day, the soldier who had gone to deliver the message rushed back, panting and out of breath. Without even having time for a sip of water, he was summoned by Wang Yun and others to the inner hall.

  The soldier spat out a few mouthfuls of air, his eyes not daring to look directly at Wang Yun and the others, but his words were loud and clear: "General Yuan and Dong Zhuo are now engaged in a fierce battle at Tiger Trap Pass. General Yuan has ordered me to tell Minister Wang that he can start an uprising in Luoyang as a response from within!"

  Upon hearing the news, Wang Yun and others immediately beamed with joy. Wang Yun said to the crowd: "The heavy responsibility of our great Han dynasty is soon to be lifted, after the matter is settled, we will all be meritorious officials, our names will surely go down in history, I hope everyone will work together!"

  Huang Wan, Zheng Gongyi, Yang Zan and Shi Sunrui all said that they would definitely succeed in their mission.

  After their excitement, Wang Yun, Huang Wan, and Zheng Gongying followed Yang Zan and others to the imperial palace. Shi Sunrui led many brave warriors to attack the prime minister's mansion directly.

  Wang Yun and others arrived at the palace gate, Yang Zu led the dead soldiers to kill on sight, and cut down anyone they saw. In an instant, from the palace gate to the emperor's bedchamber, blood flowed like a river.

  Everything was going smoothly at first, but what surprised Wang Yun and others was that they searched the palace from top to bottom without seeing any sign of the Emperor.

  Wang Yun's heart suddenly panicked, and he hastily gathered Huang Wan, Zheng Gongyi, Yang Zan and others to discuss countermeasures.

  Yang Zan, who had always been bold, said at this time: "If His Majesty has something on his mind, we will have to think of another plan."

  Wang Yun glared at him angrily and said: "How can you utter such a rebellious and unrighteous thing!"

  But as soon as Wang Yun's words fell, he saw a white-clothed Li Ru walking over with his hands behind his back.

  "Didn't you...aren't you at Tiger Trap Pass?"

  Li Ru's appearance undoubtedly made Wang Yun's already chaotic mind even more flustered.

  Li Ru looked up at the sky and laughed loudly: "Who told Wang Situ that Li Mou was in Tiger Trap Pass? I bet that person must be a blind man with his eyes open!"

  Wang Yun clenched his fists tightly, and his palms were already covered with cold sweat. He trembled and said: "Since that's the case, whether to kill or behead me is up to you!"

  Li Ru pointed at the corpses scattered all around: "Wang Situ's karma is too heavy, his karma is too heavy! Come on, people, take good care of them!"

  As soon as Li Ru's voice fell, they saw that the soldiers who were covering the sky and the earth were surrounding them heavily, as if they had descended from the sky.

  "Brothers, if we don't succeed, let's die together! Charge!"

  Only the sound of killing shouts filled the air above the imperial palace, and soon Yang Zan's dead soldiers all died under those dense long guns.

  Covered in blood, Yang Zuo looked at Wang Yun and others who were stunned there, then looked at the corpses lying on the ground. He suddenly placed his sword on his neck and indignantly said to the people around him: "I, Yang Zuo, have done my best! The rise and fall of the great Han Dynasty has nothing to do with me from now on!"

  As soon as he finished speaking, a streak of blood light shot out from his neck, and among the many corpses, there was one more brave soul...

  Wang Yun sighed twice and suddenly pounded his chest and stamped his feet, saying: "It was I who harmed them! The one who should die is I, it's me!"

  Huang Wan and Zheng Gongying also knew that they could not escape their fate, but still stepped forward to comfort Wang Yun: "Things have come to this, there is no need to say anything, whether it's death or dismemberment, let them do as they please. The three of us will make good company in the underworld!"

  Wang Yun thought this made sense and burst out laughing: "Li Ru, aren't you going to open the way?"

  Li Ru laughed and said: "The people have arrived! Please ask the three adults to go to the Heavenly Prison and wait for their fate!"

  No sooner had he finished speaking than a soldier came to report that although the suicide troops led by Shi Sunrui were almost annihilated, Shi Sunrui himself managed to escape in the chaos.

  Li Ru flew into a rage and shouted: "Quickly go after him!"

  A group of soldiers, upon receiving the order, hastily and disorderly rushed out of the palace gate.

  Wang Yun and others heard this news, all looked up at the sky and burst out laughing...
