Chapter 35: The Station
Jin Shangyu's carriage returning to his hometown slowly drove through the streets and alleys of the imperial capital, and the horse's hooves neighed from time to time, making the crowd in the downtown look sideways from time to time. At this time www.biquge.info Jin Shangyu sat alone in the car, observing the characteristics of the ancient crowd from time to time.
However, just as they were chatting and laughing, the two cars had already arrived at the valley gate of Luoyang City.
"My lord, no, big brother! I've got to get through it! ”
Just when Jin Shangyu nodded and said, "Let's go", Ling Yun had already ridden his horse to the valley gate of Luoyang City.
"Damn, this Luoyang City is big! Just one city gate is so atmospheric! Just when Ling Yun went to negotiate about leaving the city, Jin Shangyu also looked up from the sedan chair.
I saw a huge city gate organically linked with the city walls on both sides, forming a fully enclosed defense system. According to a rough estimate, the wall is about 20 meters high, and the base width is nearly 20 meters wide. Look at both sides of the city gate, there are all equipped with the city running track, and several battlements used to watch the enemy are also sergeants walking around from time to time.
"Damn, this ancient city wall is spectacular! It seems that in this era of cold weapons, there is a strong city, which is necessary! While watching the majesty of the city gate and the city wall, Jin Shangyu sighed in his heart. After all, this is Luoyang City in the Western Jin Dynasty.
However, just when Jin was sighing with emotion, Ling Yun had already urged the horse to come, and shouted in his mouth: "Let's go!" ”
With Ling Yun's two short words, the nine war horses also passed through the city gate quickly around the two carriages.
"Well, it's fine!"
"Big brother, don't worry, I have a decree from the Lord of Long Live Lord, and they won't embarrass us!"
"That's good! Remember, although you are protecting me from returning to my hometown and relatives, you must eat and drink well along the way! You can't treat your brothers badly! As for what path to take! I think I'll take the official road! ”
"Yes, it's all up to the eldest brother!" Seeing that Jin Shangyu chose to take the official path, Ling Yun was also obviously a little relaxed.
"Damn, what an official road, a small road! Lao Tzu's life is the most important! Others don't know, but Lao Tzu knows, this Great Jin Dynasty seems to have infinite scenery, but in fact, it has long been undercurrent, and banditry is rampant! After having an idea in his heart, Jin Shangyu also sat alone in the car, thinking secretly.
Although Jin Shangyu is a science student, he also studied history after all. So he still knows a little bit about the geographical location of Luoyang and the Weichang County.
"Damn, it's hard to live without high-speed rail! Isn't it just a place from Luoyang to Hebei, and it takes so long to walk! Alas! It seems that this transportation in ancient times should also be reformed! Damn, this shouldn't be something that Lao Tzu should think about! After taking a nap in the sedan car for a while, Jin Shangyu once again thought about those messy things in his mind.
However, at this time, Ling Yun's war horse also approached the sedan chair and said slowly: "Big brother, we have been fifty miles out of Luoyang City!" There is a post station in front, you don't need to adjust it! ”
"Oh, that's it! Brother, in the future, you can just make your own decisions! Anyway, brother, I'm not familiar with the road conditions here! ”
"Brothers! Work hard, there's a post station two miles ahead! We'll fix it there at noon! ”
Just as Ling Yun's words fell, the entire team also accelerated their marching speed. After a while, a post station that was not too big appeared in front of everyone.
While getting off the sedan car, Jin Shangyu said with a smile: "There are brothers!" Come in and take a break! Let's see if there's anything delicious, bring it all! ”
"Big brother, don't worry, I'll arrange it!" After saying this, Ling Yun was also the first to walk into the post station.
Standing outside the post station, Jin Shangyu raised his eyes and saw that there were only about a dozen houses in the entire post station, but the stable next to the house was very spectacular. There should be thirty or fifty handsome horses of all colors.
At this moment, Ling Yun had already walked out of the post station, accompanied by a middle-aged man. I saw him say with a smile on his face: "I don't know if Lord Jin is here, I missed the distance, please forgive me!" ”
"Big brother, he's the manager of this station! Let's go inside! ”
"Oh, it's the steward here! Disrespectful, disrespectful! ”
"Your Excellency, please!"
Seeing that the person in charge of the post station raised his hand to invite Jin Shangyu to enter first, Jin said with a slight smile: "Okay!" Well, brothers, let's go in together! I'm tired! ”
With Jin Shangyu's words, everyone, including the two coachmen, rushed into the post station.
After a while, I saw three or four people who were not wearing official uniforms bringing tea. After more than half an hour, the two tables of wine and food were also quickly put on the table.
"Big brother! Although this post station is small, because it is the closest to the imperial capital, everything is very good! I guess we may not be able to eat such good food in the future! ”
"Oh, that's right! That's okay! As long as we encounter some places to eat, we can live and adjust, and we don't necessarily have to live in this station! ”
"Big brother, you are really a generous person, and you can still call a brother to someone like me!"
"What's wrong with you, no matter what, are you also an lieutenant, speaking of which you can be regarded as a general!"
"Big brother said that he laughed, in fact, my official position is only around the sixth grade, just a small official!"
"Oh, Liupin, it's actually not small! Aren't there still seventh, eighth, and ninth grades! After listening to Jin Shangyu's words, Ling Yun wanted to say something more, but in the end he didn't say it.
Actually, this is Jin Shangyu is too direct, yes, Liupin is also a general, but at best he is a miscellaneous general, otherwise, he would not be sent out to escort a palace guard.
Of course, Jin Someone's guard may be a little special.
In this way, everyone in this small post station, after eating and drinking, went on the road again.
This time, they waited until it was dark before they could barely find a small village.
"Big brother, that, our marching speed is too slow, sometimes we can't catch up with the post station! This may be the only place to rest! ”
"It's okay, we're all big men, what are you afraid of all this! Stay here! Remember, take care of our stuff! It's far from the capital! While walking towards a small town, Jin Shangyu reminded Ling Yun.
And Ling Yun also conveyed it to the sergeant behind him.
In this way, after a while, everyone was already resting in a hotel called Yuelai Inn.
After being full of wine and food, Jin Shangyu also said with a smile: "Brother! It's all right at dusk, so let's go to the river over there! ”
"Okay! Big brother, let's go! After a whole day of communication, Ling Yun also knew Jin Shangyu's style of doing things, so he didn't say much and walked directly to the outside of the inn.
