The moonlight is quiet, and the stars in the night sky are like a picture scroll, but this kind of night color can't arouse his interest at all for Lu Zheng, maybe he has seen too much, and these natural gifts are also ignored.

At this time, the cold wind outside the window hit, the hanging lights in the house swayed, Lu Zheng raised his eyes and saw that the moon was still so clear, but the wind was constantly whistling. Lu Zheng had no choice but to walk over and close the window, and said to himself, "Why is the wind so strong." ”

Outside the house, it is allowed to roar, but Lu Zheng in the house is a little sleepy, these days, he has been sleeping and dreaming, and some familiar names were born in the dream, and even he can recall some historical relics.

At this time, some pictures flashed in his mind, the tall Xuanwu Gate was standing, the bloody scene was crawling in front of him, and in an instant, the Daming Palace was continuously extended, and the officials inside and outside the Zhongshu Gate were constantly coming and going, purple court clothes, goldfish bags around the waist, and the wat board in his hand, and he felt that he was in front of him in one picture after another.

He knew what it was, but a thousand years ago was also a history of development, and all he could think of was a fragment, those fragments scattered in the bottom of his heart. When he tried to connect the clips, the picture was very vivid.

He was distracted on the sofa for a long time, the lights in his home were dim, and the environment in front of him was a little dim. Lu Zheng lives in a humble room, but he doesn't compare, he just works wholeheartedly, and he doesn't ask for anything else. Lu Zheng is the caretaker of a museum, and every day he looks at the cultural relics in the museum, the statues of people who are about to come out, or the antique utensils, and he feels deeply about these quintessential cultural relics.

At this time, he was becoming more and more sleepy, leaning back on the sofa and his eyes were misty, when suddenly the door creaked in the wind, and he woke up from his sleepy eyes, and walked with an unsteady pace. As soon as I opened the door, I couldn't open my eyes because the wind was blowing, and I felt a gravitational pull pulling me.

He couldn't escape, like a whirlpool that swept him into unknown places that he had seen in his dreams. Then a clear glow sprinkled on the ground after the wind stopped, as clear as frost, and he had disappeared, only the wind just now was still blowing, as if nothing had happened.

………………

People are born to encounter many unknown circumstances, and Lu Zheng is exactly like this at this time.

When he opened his eyes again, he was on a rooftop, and the scenery around him had made him hesitate for a long time, but the heavy buildings were very eye-catching. He looked around and found that under the roof he was a deserted courtyard, probably abandoned for a long time, and he didn't even see a person for a long time.

He looked at the clothes he was wearing, a robe with narrow sleeves and lapels, black boots, and a crown hat on his head, like a child.

After raising his head, Lu Zheng's gaze shifted to the distant sky, passing through the low pavilions in the city and seeing the continuous hills. In autumn, the environment here has been slaughtered, and most of the plants and trees have withered.

After Lu Zheng looked into the distance, he slowly crawled over the wall until he jumped into the open space in the courtyard. Lu Zheng found himself in a large courtyard, and he kept groping, as if he was losing his direction in a maze.

When he saw an unlocked iron gate, after walking over and pushing it open, he found that there was a street in front of him, with only a few passers-by, Lu Zheng walked along the street, looking at the decorations of some passers-by, like Hu people, and more detailed that this is a Turk.

The Turks had already split into Eastern and Western Turks at the beginning of the Sui dynasty, thanks to Yu Qingze and another retinue, Changsun Sheng. Later, at the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, the two major Turkic states were destroyed, and then the Turks were restored, called the Later Turks. Later, the Turkic Khan came to this time, which was the Mosi Khan, and when the Mosi Khan's reign was at its peak, the territory was comparable to that of the Jieli Khan.

However, just a few years ago, the famous general Zhang Ren of the Tang Dynasty was willing to build three cities south of Yinshan, namely the west, east, and middle cities to resist the Later Turks. After that, the Turkic national strength was greatly reduced, and the surrendered city became a barrier into the Monan steppe.

Lu Zheng didn't know where he was, there were people on this deserted street, but there were some Han people in addition to the Hu people here, and Lu Zheng could also see a few Han people in the distance, so he walked along the blue-black wall step by step.

Lu Zheng obviously felt that this was a lonely city, and just as he took a few steps, the sound of drawing horns came from the city wall in the distance, which was the horn sound of the army stationed in the border city reporting to enter the city to rest.

"The ancient mountains and rivers have no definite basis, and in the sound of the horn, the horses come and go frequently." Lu Zheng only knew where he was at this time, if he expected it to be correct, this is Mo Nan, the place where the Han iron cavalry once swept the Xiongnu royal court, and it is also the place where Li Jing and Li Tao went on a northern expedition during the Zhenguan period. Now it has been subordinated to the Anbei Metropolitan Protectorate, and the place of governance is the city of Zhongshou.

When Lu Zheng walked in front of an old man who looked older, he bowed his hand, and the old man didn't pay any attention to Lu Zheng, so Lu Zheng asked directly: "Is the old gentleman from this city?" ”

"Jilu Prefecture is a cloth cloth, and he doesn't care about the princely power, so he is alone here."

Lu Zheng was a little stunned, and when he heard what the old man said, he knew that he was in the deserted grassland border city of Jilu Prefecture.

At this time, the old man glanced at Lu Zheng and said, "Presumably, this son is not from this place, right?" ”

Lu Zheng didn't answer for a while, and the old man said again: "Seeing that you are new here, I don't know much about the situation here. This Jilu Prefecture belongs to the state of bondage, and the policy of bondage has been a long time, and there was this order when I was first established. Among them, there is the meaning of appeasing the surrendered Yidi, and it is also an indispensable strategy for governing the northern border. ”

"In that case, the Hu people in the city have all been subdued?"

The old man nodded and said: "What you said is right, there are both Han and Hu people in Jilu Prefecture, and since the time of Emperor Taizong, there are many Hu people who have been attached to the mainland. ”

The old man couldn't finish his words, got up from the bluestone paved ground, and said to Lu Zheng: "Where does your family live?" ”

Lu Zheng suddenly flashed a few words from his mind at this time, and said: "Those who go to the country with a sword do not care about the geographical separation, and they don't care where they are home. ”

After finishing speaking, the old man was a little surprised, and when he saw Lu Zheng's sonorous words, he said: "Since you are a ranger, I know that you have nowhere else to go, so it is better to stay in my humble house for a while, even if you and I are speculative, it will be like old at first sight." ”

Lu Zheng followed the old man's guidance and followed beside him, the shops on this street were scattered, and there were really not many goods traded. It may not be the main street either, so it looks a little cold.

Only a small number of troops were stationed in the city, and most of the troops were in the administrative office of the Anbei Metropolitan Protectorate, and the city was surrendered to the west. At this time, the capital of Anbei was the famous general Wang Hui in the Kaiyuan period, Wang Hui had not been guarding the surrendered city in the west for a long time, and planned to move the administrative office to the surrendered city in the middle of the surrendered city.

Lu Zheng looked at the old man while walking on the side, and found that his face was scarred, his shoulders were relatively broad, and his eyes were also bright, and after looking closely, he really looked like a military person. Since he is a military person, Lu Zheng also understood a little, so he asked: "Dare to ask the old gentleman who served in the army when he was young?" ”

After speaking, the old man smiled and said: "I am not from the Northland, but I was called into the army when I was young, and when I came to this faraway place, I served all my life without making any contributions, but I tasted the bitter cold here." ”

Lu Zheng sighed a little, but the old man is reasonable, since ancient times, a general has achieved ten thousand bones, and those soldiers who died are just bargaining chips for the general's achievements.

Lu Zheng and the old man passed through a few alleys, and then arrived at the old man's residence, after opening the door, the eaves were black tiles, and there was a slight accumulation of water in the courtyard. In the whole courtyard, there is only one main hall to welcome guests, and a few side rooms, which are not big, but enough for two people to live.

At this time, the old man also told the origin of this courtyard, which was repaired by the imperial court to compensate the soldiers. He has been in the army for decades, although he has not made great achievements, but he has a great relationship with his colleagues, which is funded by his colleagues, but as the years pass, his colleagues have either traveled with the army to other places, or have died on the battlefield, and only he has lived here.

Pushing open the door of the main hall, the inside is quite neat, after Lu Zheng looked around, he saw that the most conspicuous place inside was a screen, blocking the inner courtyard, Lu Zheng walked all over the courtyard, and felt that it was not too big, and the two courtyards in the front and back added up to only three or five huts.

When the old man sat down in the main hall and dusted off the dust left on the writing with his hands, Lu Zheng leaned over and said, "Is this the book that the old gentleman reads?" ”

After Lu Zheng saw it, there were many categories in it, the art of war, the terrain and mountains, all of which were practical learning. The imperial examination in the Tang Dynasty was divided into general standing and system, and this system required professional talents, such as those who were good at poetry or outspoken.

The old man felt that Lu Zheng was a little interested in this, so he said: "I am now dying of old age, and I don't have any lofty ambitions, but you are different." ”

The old man was a little helpless in his words, but he found a way for Lu Zheng.
