With the autumn wind, Ma Yue once again set foot on the land of the north.

He had been away from Luoyang for too long, and he missed the bluestone avenue on Xuanwu Street very much, and in the sound of luan bells and horses' hooves, he came back, back to this long-lost prosperous city.

Outside the city, there are mountains of precious giant trees and rocks with patterns, so that Ma Yue can't figure out what this is for, it seems that there are some civil engineering projects under construction in Luoyang City, but some wood has been rotted because of the rain and sun, which makes people feel a little pity.

Fifty percent of Luoyang's 100,000 households live outside the twenty miles square, and the remaining forty percent live in the suburbs.

Entering the outer city, the inside is the inner city of the second layer, the inner city has twelve city gates, it is the real Luoyang City, the mansions of the dignitaries are in it, and the palace city is also inside.

"Jun Hao, it's the first time I've come to Luoyang, this imperial city, the city walls are too, too high!"

Peng Shi was stunned and led the horse behind Ma Yue, looking up at the tall city, suddenly remembered that he still had a bow and arrow, and hurriedly asked while putting down the string: "Jun Hao, can I still bring this bow and arrow when I go to the string?" ”

"It's okay, I'm ......" said casually, he had the title of the head of the carriage, and said that Peng Shi was his entourage, and it was estimated that no one would really come to investigate.

But in a blink of an eye, Ma Yue stood at the gate of the city and groped up and down his body, his seal was snatched away by Zu Lang, and the ribbon was also sold by him.

Alright, he's a black guy now.

The city gate guard stared at Ma Yue suspiciously, what was going on with this scar-faced big guy standing at the city gate with a scar-faced little guy and his hands on him?

"Eh, who are you, do you have a household registration?"

The goalkeeper Chang Ge was in front of him, Ma Yue didn't expect that he could be stopped when he arrived at the door, but he was stunned that he didn't have a customs clearance document, and he didn't encounter an interrogation on the way by water, alas.

"This brother, I made a mess of bandits on the road, and the seal and the document were robbed, and I was bothered to let me into the city, and my own servants sent the household registration over."

Ma Yue said it very well, and it was quite like that, he honestly said that he had a clear conscience.

"Big talk!" The young general guarding the city gate didn't think so, and beckoned seven or eight soldiers around him to his side, Chang Ge pointed to Ma Yue and asked, "What is your surname, and who is you?" Where did you come from? I also met a thief, I think you are a thief! ”

"Me?" Ma Yue looked himself up and down, although the cloth clothes were not expensive, they were quite neat. Ma Yue frowned and said: "A certain family name is Ma Yue, the word Jun Hao, a native of Longxian County, Liangzhou, the chief of the carriage, and a former ...... of Changshui."

The young general who guarded the door laughed when he heard Ma Yue report to his home, the more Ma Yue said, the more the smile on his face became, and when Ma Yue said his official position, he suddenly opened his mouth and said: "Captain Ren of the Northern Army, who doesn't know this, can you take the name of General Ma?" Which thief in this world can rob General Ma of the three armies? That's the brave general who took Zhang Liang's head among the ten thousand troops, and you can lead it in vain as a small commoner? ”

Ma Yue and Peng Shi were stunned, Peng Shi looked at Ma Yue, didn't figure out what the situation was, Ma Yue waved his hand, and didn't get angry with this young man who admired him very much, just said: "You are from the Northern Army, haven't you seen me?" ”

The gatekeeper was stunned, he was indeed from the Northern Army, not only he was from the Northern Army, all the soldiers guarding the city were from the Northern Army, but he really hadn't seen Ma Yue, he was just a small tun chief, and he hadn't been able to follow the Northern Army before, he hadn't seen Ma Yue.

"You...... Is it really General Ma? ”

"It doesn't matter if you haven't seen it...... The city gate is the responsibility of the Gyeonggi Fudu Governor. Ma Yue waved his hand and smiled, and asked, "Is your Shangguan Ji Du Lieutenant or Chun Yu Du Lieutenant?" They have seen me, you can send someone to ask, Ma Yue looks like me, I am afraid that I am the only one who looks like this in Luoyang City. ”

"Huh? Oh good, you wait. The young general guarding the city didn't dare to rashly put Ma Yue in, he was also worried that Ma Yue would bluff him, but he didn't dare to speak disrespectfully, so he hurriedly sent someone to find his Shangguan to hear the news.

"Go back, you don't have to go."

The pawn received the order and didn't run two steps. A sentence full of energy, from the city tower along the horse road proudly down a ride dressed in feather forest costume, the green flag on the shoulder of the word west.

The man rode a horse at the gate of the city, turned over and dismounted, and bowed: "Pei Ruo, the envoy in the West Garden, has seen my uncle." ”

"Pei Ruo?" Ma Yue was stunned, what position was the envoy in the West Garden, Ma Yue didn't know, but the young man in front of him called himself his uncle, so he asked, "Are you a descendant of the Pei family?" ”

The gatekeeper seemed to attach great importance to the title of the envoy in the West Garden, and a cadre of the city guards hurriedly bowed, but Pei Ruo ignored it, just smiled at Ma Yue and said: "According to the generation, you are my brother-in-law, my grandfather is the founding father, my father Pei Yi, and my son is below." ”

As soon as Pei Ruo said this, Ma Yue knew which one he was, Pei Ying'er was Pei Mao's little daughter, Pei's founding father, Pei Mao's brother, Ying'er's uncle, and Pei Xi, the eldest son of Pei Ye, the general of Shi Duliao, but Pei Xi's son was only one, and he died of illness later. left two grandchildren, and the eldest son should be this Pei Ruo.

These things were all told to him by Liang Hu in the past, and he only listened to them in a hurry, but now this Pei Ruo mentioned that he was a little impressed, so he nodded lightly and asked, "Have you seen me?" ”

Pei Ruo stood up and said embarrassedly: "When you were in Xiyuan a year ago, you were the armor that your little nephew brought up for you, but your majesty was on the side at that time, and you didn't dare to recognize each other, so I hope my uncle will understand." ”

"Talk as you go." Ma Yue nodded, smiled at the young general guarding the city and asked, "Now, I can enter the city, right?" ”

"Yes, yes, of course you can get into the city." The young general secretly glanced at Ma Yue, and felt that Ma Yue was not like the rumored character in many ways, and seeing that Ma Yue was leaving, the young general looked at Ma Yue's back and shouted boldly: "General Ma, remember to take me with you in the next battle, my name is Chen Zhong!" ”

Hearing his shout, Ma Yue smiled, waved his hand without turning his head, and led the horse into the city with Peng Shi.

"Ah Ruo, let's call you Xiao Ruo, no problem." Ma Yue asked symbolically, and then said, "I heard you call yourself the 'envoy of the West Garden', what kind of position is that?" ”

While the three of them walked, Pei Ruo smiled behind Ma Yue: "Uncle, this is not a position, just a title, at the beginning of this year, Nangong Yuntai caught fire, His Majesty issued an edict to a state capital, county and county to levy money for repairing the palace, and later Lingtai Palace, Lecheng Palace, Jiade Palace, and Lecheng Gate ignited a fire again, and it burned for half a month before it was extinguished. ”

Ma Yue nodded, probably understood, it was nothing more than a fire that burned the palace and they went down to collect things, which is understandable.

"By the way, you said that you are requisitioning supplies, what are you doing at the city gate today? Why is the front of the house also a West Garden ride? ”

The north and south palaces occupy most of the inner city, enter the inner city and walk along the royal road for a while to see the Liang Mansion, and in front of the Liang Mansion, there are four Xiyuan Lang standing at the gate of the mansion.

"Wait for you, there are Xiyuanlang waiting for you at the twelve gates of Luoyang, it is the order of Jian Huangmen, asking us to wait until you come back to inform him, and the house gate is sent by His Majesty to look at the family after his uncle and Ah Weng left, Jian Huangmen said that there is no man in the house, and you should be careful."

Jian Shuo did this, Ma Yue couldn't say what he felt in his heart, he should feel grateful, but he didn't feel very comfortable in his heart. And this Pei Ruo, a nephew who popped out of nowhere, he doesn't like it very much.

I always feel that this person is a little flattering and spineless.

"Okay, then you go and report to Jian Huangmen, just say that my Ma Yue is back!"

With that, Ma Yue pushed open the door of his house.
