Thud thud thud!
On the ancient road where the autumn wind blew, two old horses covered in scarlet flames weakly pulled the carriage behind them as they galloped towards the unknown.
They were called old horses because they were listless and did not have the slightest bit of momentum. But even so, the speed of the two Scarlet Flame Horses was not slow. Every time they galloped, they would travel a distance of several hundred meters. In just a few breaths of time, they had already traveled a distance of more than ten miles.
"Your Majesty, we have already left Luoyang City!"
There were a total of three people in the carriage. One of them was a beautiful woman in her thirties. Her face was deathly pale, and she was half lying on the seat at the back. Her face was filled with despair.
On the right side of the carriage, there was a delicate and pretty girl who looked to be about fifteen or sixteen years old. She was dressed like an imperial concubine. Her expression was a little ugly, but she suppressed the fear in her heart. She pulled the black-robed young man beside her and softly warned him that they had already left Luoyang City. They had left this mighty capital.
The black-robed youth was naturally Cheng Hao. At this moment, he was not in the mood to care about where they were going, nor did he care that he looked much younger. He only wanted to know what rank his current strength was in this demonically altered Three Kingdoms world!
"Your Majesty, we were incompetent and could only watch as Your Majesty was crippled by that old bastard Dong Zhuo. We were willing to die a thousand deaths for you!"
Suddenly, at the fork in the ancient path, a few civil officials dressed as scholar-officials walked out from the withered grass on both sides. They knelt on the ground and kowtowed continuously to send off Cheng Hao and the others!
"Your Majesty, do you want to talk to them?"
Seeing Cheng Hao sitting motionlessly in the carriage, the beautiful concubine beside him asked hurriedly.
"No need, someone's coming!"
Cheng Hao shook his head. After this short conversation, he had already understood his identity.
The current him was the Young Emperor of Han, Liu Bian, who had been deposed by the powerful minister Dong Zhuo. He was the son of the Spirit Emperor of Han, Liu Hong, and the twelfth Emperor of the Eastern Han. He had only been on the throne for five months before he was deposed by Dong Zhuo as the King of Hongnong. Under normal circumstances, he would have been poisoned to death by Dong Zhuo in a short period of time. However, no one knew how he would die in this demonized Three Kingdoms!
He didn't care too much about his identity. Just now, when he used his Spiritual Force to sense this world, his heart sank.
His cultivation realm didn't change, but the stability of this world's space seemed to have far surpassed all the worlds he had traveled to. Here, not to mention teleportation, even with his third-order combat strength, he would only be able to destroy a mountain with a radius of tens of miles if he used all his strength. It would be impossible for him to pick the stars and the moon!
Without being able to teleport, it would be much more dangerous in this demonically altered Three Kingdoms. Moreover … Cheng Hao turned his head to look at the concubine beside him and the beautiful woman who was sitting motionlessly at the back. There were also two burdens by his side. These were all troublesome!
To be honest, these two women might not have cultivated before, but even so, their physical strength was still very strong. If they were in other worlds, they would definitely have the strength to fly in the sky and move mountains and seas. However, in this place, they were merely two weak women who could only cry secretly. They were completely useless!
Tat tat tat!
Suddenly, a cloud of dust rose from behind. A cavalry of hundreds swept over, and a large "Li" flag fluttered in the wind.
The cavalry rode on Red Flame Horses, and each of them was majestic and high-spirited. The leader was a general of about 30 years old. He wore a set of silver armor and held a silver long sword. His whole body exuded a mountain-like pressure as he walked step by step to the front of the carriage.
"Valiant Cavalry General Li Jue greets the Empress Dowager and King Hongnong. Under the Grand Preceptor's instructions, whoever dares to send us off will be killed immediately!"
Li Jue rode his horse and held his sword. Although he was greeting the Empress Dowager, his hands made a killing gesture. He waved his hand, and suddenly, tens of thousands of sword shadows flashed, making clanging sounds. In an instant, they slashed at the scholars kneeling by the roadside!
"Sage, help me!"
The scholars seemed to be powerless, but they didn't surrender. They sat cross-legged on the ground and murmured. In an instant, wisps of Noble Spirit rose from the top of their heads, causing the world to roar. In bursts of rumbling sounds, they turned into the phantom of an ancient sage.
Cheng Hao could not see the Sage's face clearly. He held the Brush of Fate in his hand and wrote a few simple words in the void as soon as he appeared. Although Cheng Hao did not recognize the words, he understood the meaning behind them.
"Defend!" "Defend!" "Disarm!"
Puff! Puff!
Puff! It was unknown whether it was because the cultivation of these scholars was insufficient, or because the phantom of the sage was not powerful enough, but in short, tens of thousands of sword shadows flashed. The words dissipated, the phantom of the sage collapsed, and several huge heads fell to the ground.
"Useless scholars. A few rotten scholars, whose literary Qi can't even materialize, dare to resist?!"
Looking at the heads on the ground, Cheng Hao's heart sank. Li Jue was very strong. The aura he had just revealed was definitely that of a Stage Three existence. The hundreds of cavalrymen behind him were at least at the early stage of Stage Two. If he was surrounded by them, he might be in for a tough fight.
The middle-aged beautiful woman called the Empress Dowager curled up in the carriage with her head in her hands, afraid that she would be the one to lose her head in the next second. As for the beautiful concubine, at this time, she was lying timidly in Cheng Hao's arms, also extremely scared.
Cheng Hao's fingernails dug into his palms. He forcibly suppressed the thought of exploding and making Li Jue and the others stay.
Although he had now reached Stage Three, his cultivation had not completely stepped into Stage Three. If he wanted to make Li Jue and the others stay, he had to break through to the Void-shattering realm. Otherwise, if Li Jue wanted to leave, he couldn't stop him.
However, breaking through to the Void-shattering realm was bound to cause a great commotion. This place was only a dozen li away from Luoyang. If this attracted the Divine General Lu Bu, his journey across the heavens might come to an end here.
Judging from Li Jue's strength, Lu Bu, known as the number one Divine General of the Three Kingdoms, was likely to have reached Stage Four. Not only Lu Bu, but even the Five Tiger Generals, such as Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, were likely to have reached Stage Four.
In this world, a single mistake could lead to death.
"You, lead twenty cavalrymen and escort King Hongnong on his way. If anyone comes to see him off on the way, kill them all!"
Seeing that Cheng Hao did not move under his pressure, Li Jue showed a satisfied smile on his face. He casually pointed to a cavalryman leader and motioned for him to escort Cheng Hao away. As for whether it was an escort or some other purpose, it was unknown.
Looking at the departing figure of Li Jue, Cheng Hao's left eye flashed with a white light. Immediately, some basic information about Li Jue appeared in his mind.
