Chapter Twenty-Nine: Shut Out
The streets in Luoyang City are extremely prosperous, merchants and rangers from all over the Han Dynasty gather, dragons and snakes are mixed, many traders are selling along the streets, selling all kinds of goods, and there are many children of the family driving carriages, surrounded by a group of slaves passing on the avenue.
The wide street can accommodate a hundred people to pass side by side, and Gao Cheng had already asked his subordinates to hide their armor and weapons in advance, so the two hundred knights he brought with him were not noticeable in such a wide street.
The Han Dynasty now pursues the strategy of being able and weak, and the most elite soldiers and horses and masters in the world are gathered in Luoyang City, especially in the city where the five schools of the Northern Army are stationed, and the strength of the Han Dynasty is forty percent of the strength gathered in Luoyang City, in this capital, the power of the royal family is unmatched. There is no child of a family who is not long-eyed, and he dares to fly in Luoyang City. In case the emperor catches the handle, he will have to shed his skin if he doesn't die.
Gao Cheng led everyone to an inn soon, and after settling down many of his subordinates and carriages, he bathed and changed his clothes, changed into a brocade robe, and asked Jiang Qin and Xu Xuan to ask passers-by about Yuan Shao's mansion with a few treasures, and then prepared to go to meet the most outstanding heir of the Yuan clan in Runan.
Runan Yuan ranks first among the eight great families in the world, known as the fourth and third princes, and his protégés are all over the world. And Yuan Shao was very famous at this time, and he gathered the elites of the world's major families around him, and he faintly had the demeanor of the leader of the family. Cao Cao, the future generation of heroes, was not ranked by Yuan Shao's side at this time.
Gao Cheng's current identity is the head of the Gao family in Guangling, and he is also a member of the family, after coming to Luoyang, if he can get on the line with Yuan Shao, he can easily become a county guard.
"Yuan Shao befriended the world's heroes, and he attaches great importance to the elites of the major families, and the children of ordinary families may not pay too much attention to it, if they can't make friends with Yuan Shao, then they can only go to the eunuchs to dredge up and down!"
Gao Cheng was ready in his heart. At this time, the Han Dynasty was divided into two major forces, one side was the wealthy family headed by the Yuan family of Runan, and the other side was the eunuch headed by Zhang Rang, the servant of Zhongchang. Among them, the Yuan, Xun, and Yang families pushed the general He Jin out as a shield.
He Jin, as a general of his relatives, should have been the emperor's most powerful assistant, but he did not expect that he admired the family and respected the children of the family very much. actually led the power of the wealthy family and the official eunuch to oppose it. Behind the eunuchs was the emperor. Imperial court and families, generals and eunuchs...... All kinds of contradictions are entangled in Luoyang. Let this god capital become turbulent, hiding a great danger.
However, for Gao Cheng, the family and the royal family are the same, when the emperor dies, the world is in chaos, and all contradictions and entanglements will disappear in the war.
At present, the most important thing is to seek a piece of land in Yangzhou as its basic territory. If the family's door is not successful, then go through the eunuch's door. It doesn't matter if you even have the notoriety of being an official eunuch.
"Lord, it should be Yuan Shao's mansion in front, right?
On the avenue ahead, a huge mansion was located in the middle of the avenue, and on both sides of the gate of the mansion, there were many carriages, which were the carriages and horses of the children of the great families.
Yuan Shao's reputation spread all over the world, and the first thing that all the children of the family who came to Luoyang did after settling down was to come to Yuan's mansion to send a post. I hope to make friends with Yuan Shao. When Xu Xuan was in Xuzhou, he had also heard Yuan Shao's name, and when he knew that Gao Cheng was going to come to Yuan's mansion, he was very excited.
And Jiang Qin's attention was not the huge mansion, nor the many children of the family who visited, but looked at the generals of the family who followed the carriage. These people are full of blood and blood, and at first glance they are powerful samurai.
"The fourth and third dukes of the Yuan family in Runan, Yuan Shao is the best, and the heroes of the world are all vying to make friends, if the mansion is not big enough, how can you entertain the heroes of the world?"
Gao Cheng said casually, and then came to the door of the Yuan Mansion with the prepared gifts, and said to a servant at the door: "In Gao Cheng, Xiaguangling, I have heard the name of the first prince for a long time, and I have come to see you, and please let me know." ”
As he spoke, he handed over the gift list and the greeting post, Xu Xuan and Jiang Qin hurriedly stepped forward with gifts, these gifts were the trophies that Gao Cheng got when he broke the Yellow Turban Rebellion, and they were all treasures treasured by those small families in the county, worth millions of dollars.
The servant took the post and quickly glanced at it, which said Gao Cheng's current position as the county lieutenant of Huai'an. A trace of disdain flashed in his eyes, but there was a respectful look on his face, he returned the greeting note with both hands, and said respectfully: "Gao Gongzi, I'm very sorry, my son-in-law didn't see any outsiders today, if Gao Gongzi wants to see him, let's come back another day!"
As the gatekeeper of the Yuan Mansion, this servant's eyesight was extremely high, and when he saw Gao Cheng and Bai Ti, he quickly judged that Gao Cheng was probably an official who came to the Yuan Mansion to take the door.
He doesn't know how many people he sees every day. The sons of his family are all the children of top families, as well as famous people who are famous all over the world, and a county lieutenant also wants to visit, which is really unbeknownst to the sky.
However, as the porter of the Yuan Mansion, this servant pays great attention to his manners, even if he rejects Gao Cheng, he is also very tactful and respectful, if he is contemptuous, he will lose the face of his son-in-law, in case it affects Yuan Shao's reputation, he will not be redeemed.
Gao Cheng's five senses were very keen, and he could detect the hidden disdain of the person in front of him, he frowned slightly, "It seems that there is no hope of befriending Yuan Shao, but it's nothing, Yuan Shao is one of the most powerful people in this world now and in the future, and my current official position and reputation are not enough for the other party to bend down and make friends!"
Gao Cheng's thoughts flashed in his heart, calmed down a little, and said, "Since Ben Chu Gong is inconvenient today, then I will come back another day!"
He took the name post and prepared to leave with Jiang Qin and Xu Xuan.
At this time, there was a sudden sound of horses' hooves on the street in the distance, and Gao Cheng turned his head to look, only to see a young man with a gloomy expression coming on horseback, followed by more than a dozen warriors in strong suits.
The moment he saw this young man, the concierge of Yuan Shao's mansion changed his face and looked bitter. hurriedly greeted him. "The villain meets the third son!"
Gao Cheng was secretly shocked in his heart on the side, this young man's strength is not very good, only about seven layers of training, but more than a dozen warriors in strong armor behind him, each with good strength, one of the burly men has a long knife hanging from his waist, and his body is shrouded in a layer of vigorous qi, which is very strong.
"A transcendent powerhouse in the Refining Gang realm!Who is this person?" Gao Cheng's thoughts in his heart turned quickly, recalling the information about the Runan Yuan clan, well, by the way, in addition to Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu, the Yuan clan also has a big brother Yuan Ji. This person is the eldest son of the real Runan Yuan family.
The one who is called the third son by the porter should be Yuan Shu, who is known as the ghost in the road.
